When his head was covered by a big net and he realized that it was impossible to break free, Shen Lang's first thought was to take Xiao Zhao and hide in some fine pen space.
But he didn't take action in the end.
One is that disappearing out of thin air is likely to cause some unpredictable consequences; the other is that he is worried about being guarded by someone. He can hide for a while, but not forever - there is nothing to eat in the dianjing pen, and Shen Lang is inside.
But you can't hide for long.
What if he meets a patient guy who becomes interested in his method of "disappearing out of thin air" and sticks to it to the end, then wouldn't he be in trouble?
"Since you are just using a net to catch me instead of killing someone on the spot, there is still a chance! Let's wait and see what happens. Don't hide in the Jingbi space unless you have to!"
Shen Lang forcibly suppressed it and decided to observe the situation first.
At this moment, a smiling male voice came into his ears:
"The net Mr. Mu gave me is really good. It's about ten feet away. I just threw it and caught a fish that slipped through the net."
"Don't even look at Madam Mu's identity. She is a criminal arrester from the capital. Can the net she gave you be an ordinary net? This is a magic weapon refined by a high-quality Taoist priest. It can be used to deal with small thieves.
Isn’t it already within reach?”
Hearing these two male voices, Shen Lang was greatly surprised:
"The language they speak is not any language I know, but why can I understand it? Could it be that Dian Jingbi gave me the ability to understand the language?"
Just as he was surprised, two men wearing black soap coats, square hats and waist knives came out of the valley entrance with torches.
By the light of the torch, Shen Lang saw that the fronts of the two men's soap jackets were embroidered with a large Chinese character "capture" - there was no doubt that this font was not any other character that Shen Lang knew, but he just happened to be.
Recognize it.
"So these two guys are spies? Do they think I am a thief?"
When Shen Lang observed the two detectives, they also saw his appearance clearly.
"You don't look very old! It's a pity that the Wang family spreads evil cults, deceives people to make money, kills people and raises witchcraft... It's a serious crime to confiscate homes and exterminate families. All men over fourteen years old will be taken to the execution ground and be stabbed!"
Hearing this, Shen Lang quickly defended himself:
"I'm not a member of the Wang family. I don't know any of the Wang family at all. Don't accuse good people unjustly!"
"You wronged a good man? Good man, why did you come to Wangjiazhuang?"
A young agent who looked to be no more than 20 years old, with a strong and muscular body, said with a sneer:
"Besides, looking at your weird clothes, you don't look like a serious person at first glance!"
"I didn't know this was Wangjiazhuang. I just saw it was getting dark and wanted to find a place to stay. As for my clothes, they were all picked up. I am a refugee, so I can only wear whatever I picked up.
What……"
"Refugee? You can't find a good excuse for lying. Do refugees have skin as tender and fair as you? You might as well say that you are a scholar who was robbed." The other one is in his thirties, with a face
The dark-skinned catcher smiled mockingly, pulled up the net rope, and dragged Shen Lang away:
"Okay, stop complaining to us, it's useless. Whether you are a thief or a good citizen, you will be able to tell clearly when you come in front of Mr. Mu!"
Shen Lang raised his elbows, tried his best to open up a small space on the net on his chest, and firmly protected Xiao Zhao on his chest. He said helplessly: "But I was really wronged!"
As he spoke, he secretly marveled that even though he was being dragged along the ground by the net, he felt no pain at all.
Is it because the defense of my "fish scales" is strong enough, or is it because this net is special?
Well, during the conversation between the two people before, they seemed to have said that this net was some kind of magic weapon refined by a high-quality Taoist priest?
Could it be that this world is a world of cultivating immortals?
They were all captured alive and dragged into a net, and yet Shen Lang was still in the mood to think about this, but it wasn't that Shen Lang was heartless.
It's just that he is now a fish in the net. Apart from hiding in a fine pen space, which is the last resort when desperate measures are taken, he really has no other way to escape.
Although these two detectives mocked him, but since they did not kill him, but wanted to take him to see that "Muda man" for resolution, Shen Lang felt that these two detectives might have consciences and were not fools.
The kind of person who cares about people's lives, maybe there is a chance to clear his name.
Besides, even if he, a black time traveler, had no way to prove his innocence, as long as he was not pushed out and chopped on the spot, even if he was imprisoned afterwards, he still felt that he had a chance to survive.
In short, with a little bit of wisdom and Xiao Zhao and Xiao Yu, everything is possible.
Two detectives dragged Shen Lang past a collapsed sentry tower in the valley.
A tattered corpse was buried under the watchtower.
After Shen Lang strengthened, his five senses became much sharper. When he was dragged past the corpse, he saw the lake of flesh and blood, half of his head was deflated, and the brains spurted out all over the tattered corpse. He smelled the sticky and pungent blood.
The smell made me feel nauseous and retching immediately.
Outside the valley entrance, he had caught a glimpse of the corpse from a distance and smelled the smell of blood, so he turned around and left without saying a word, but he was still a step too late.
But then again, if this net wasn't a "magic weapon", Shen Lang felt that with his decisive reaction and cat-like agility, he might have escaped under the cover of night.
And hearing the sound of his retching, the tough and vigorous detective in his twenties suddenly became happy:
"Hey, I'm sorry, you are still a young child who has never seen blood. Is there anyone like this in the Wang family?"
Shen Lang was helpless: "That's why I told you that I didn't know anything about Wangjiazhuang or the Wang family..."
"Then you are also suspicious. There are barren mountains and wild ridges within a ten-mile radius, and there is only Wangjiazhuang here. You came to the barren mountains for no reason, and you went to Wangjiazhuang specifically. If you don't catch me, who will catch you?"
"..."
"I didn't realize that you brought a kitten with you before. You're like this yourself, and you still protect the cat? Hey, now I think you might be a really good person."
"Hey, you are also a cat lover?"
"That's right, I have several cats at home."
"How about sharing experiences together when you have time?"
"It's easy to say...cough! Shut up! Stop talking nonsense, you are a suspect now, please be serious!"
"..."
Shen Lang was finally dragged into a large village.
The Dazhuangzi was brightly lit at this time, and there were cries, shouts, footsteps, and all kinds of rummaging around everywhere. It seemed like a thorough house raid was going on.
What surprised Shen Lang was that among the police officers and soldiers who were raiding their homes, many of them were carrying muskets, and they were all flintlock muskets with bayonets attached.
Seeing a group of soldiers carrying flintlock muskets with bayonets, wearing bright red military uniforms, matte plate armor on their chests, and iron helmets on their heads, escorting a few crying women and children toward the outside of Zhuangzi, Shen Lang couldn't help but feel in his heart
Secretly:
"What kind of world is this? How come there are magic weapons, Taoist priests, and flintlock muskets? You have supernatural powers, and I have science? Or do you have science, and I have supernatural powers?"
In confusion, the two detectives dragged Shen Lang to the threshold of a lobby, stopped at the door and reported inside:
"Master Mu, the two of us followed your order and patrolled the entrance of the valley. Sure enough, we used the magic weapon you gave us and caught a fish that slipped through the net!"
Shen Lang quickly shouted into the hall:
"I'm wronged. I'm really not from the Wang family! I'm just a passerby who accidentally got here!"
As soon as she finished shouting, a cold and beautiful female voice came from inside:
"Bring him in."
The two detectives obeyed, lifted the net, lifted Shen Lang over the threshold, and took him into the lobby.
As soon as he entered the lobby, Shen Lang felt that the net on his body suddenly loosened, and then flew away.
Shen Lang's eyes followed the flying net, and he saw such a large net, shrinking as it flew, and in an instant it became only the size of a handkerchief, and then fell into the palm of a slender white hand.
Looking at the owner of the white palm again, Shen Lang couldn't help but be slightly startled.
It was clearly a young woman who looked to be in her early twenties.
She has a pure, sweet and pretty face, and her skin is as white as cream. Even if she is stern and has a cold and serious look, it is difficult to ignore her beauty.
She was wearing a very thick-looking black cloak. From her neck to her legs, she was covered tightly by the cloak, making it difficult for people to see her figure clearly.
She was sitting on a Taishi chair, holding a booklet in her left hand and a handkerchief-sized net in her right hand. Her pair of bright eyes like stars in the night sky were staring at Shen Lang intently, with a look of... fondness in her eyes.
?
Well, that love is not for Shen Lang, but for the cat demon Xiao Zhao who is held in Shen Lang's hand...
