Song Yu originally wanted to follow him, but after a moment's reaction, he realized that even if he could really catch up, it would only be a drag... At his speed, he would probably be lost before anyone could find him.
He felt at ease and stayed to deal with the follow-up. The fire started at the wrong time. It could also be said that it was just the right time. Song Yu didn’t want to attend the housewarming party in the first place, but just found an excuse to gather the big shots in the city to get to know each other.
That's all. With this fire, the housewarming party can't be held.
Song Yu was making arrangements to put out the fire while arranging people to notify the guests one by one. For a while, he was busy going around.
…
There are many mud alleys in Yongxi Prefecture, which are places that dignitaries would never set foot in. Guotianfang is one of them, as is Lujiao Alley. It is connected in all directions, and if you don't hang out in it all year round, it is easy to get lost in it.
.
Since it is called Mud Alley, you can imagine how dirty it is. This street is even more famous as a garbage street. There are only abandoned mud houses on both sides. Not only is the road full of sewage, there are even people and livestock.
Excrement and flies were flying everywhere. The ground even felt sticky when you stepped on it.
"Where did that stinky boy go? Boss, this place is too smelly..." The person who spoke had a knife on his waist, and his expression looked quite ugly. After saying this, he couldn't help but feel sick.
This is a group of people who look well-trained, all wearing black uniforms. The person at the head is one of the guards around Liao Changzhi. He is frowning at this time, with his fingers lightly hidden under his nose, obviously not wanting to
After saying one more word, he just waved his hand to signal everyone to split up and search.
There are many dilapidated earthen buildings built along the street in this alley, and the buildings are close together. None of these people noticed that the window of one of the houses was quietly pushed open a gap, and they were secretly observing the house.
A team of people.
"Boss, that group of people has successfully dispersed." The little carrot head, who was about five or six years old, jumped down from the stool he was standing on.
"Very good." Xiao Qi's voice was still very childish, but his tone was very old-fashioned. His real name was Qi Rong, and he appeared in this mud alley three months ago, and it only took less than half a month.
He became the head kid here, and the kids nearby called him Seventh Brother.
It was also because of the cover of this group of children that he was able to successfully escape so many pursuits.
At this time, he and the little carrot head who had just stepped on the stool to peek were hiding in the small attic above the earth building. The place was pitch black, and no light could come in if the small windows were closed. But it was safe and adjacent.
The attic above the earth building actually has a secret door connected to it, which makes it easier for him to escape.
"Let Xiao Miao'er and the others get ready." Qi Rong crossed his legs and picked at the chicken between his teeth, cursing in his mouth: "If you dare to catch me, I will let them suffer a little."
"Yes!" The little carrot head straightened his back after hearing this, and ran downstairs as if he was preparing to complete some important task. Children like them don't have much ability, but they are quite capable of causing trouble.
Just relying on the terrain to set traps is enough to make the big men downstairs drink a pot. For example, on the next street, they set up broken fishing nets; on the left street, they poured night fragrance on the ground.
There is also a layer of dust on top so that no one can notice it at once...
Although it's a little disgusting, this is a mud alley, who cares?
When Qi Rong was the only one left in the attic, he felt a little scared in this quiet and dark place.
Time rewinds to half an hour ago.
When he was caught by Song Yu, Qi Rong really almost thought that he was going to die. Fortunately, he had always hidden a small blade in his disheveled hair to help him get out of trouble at the critical moment. Fortunately, Ah
After all, Han was a man and didn't think carefully enough, so Qi Rong still kept the blade after washing and changing clothes.
When Yun Lang saw Xie Nanshi leaving the house, Qi Rong, who was alone, knew that the time had come to escape. He raised his tied hands above his head, took out the blade, and cut the wounds on his hands and feet as fast as he could.
rope, and then escaped through the window.
The gardens of wealthy families may have their own techniques, but the layout of the houses is generally the same. The servants in this house are not yet fully in place, and everyone is focused on entertaining the distinguished guests at the banquet, so Qi Rong left smoothly.
.
In fact, when he escaped from Song Yu's mansion, he saw the fire. After being shocked, he could not help but feel scared. If he had run a step later, he might have been buried in a sea of fire, right?
Qi Rong's heart was pounding. The little carrot head hadn't come back yet. He didn't dare to stay like this. If he didn't observe the situation in advance, he wouldn't be able to escape when the situation changed.
He waited quietly for a while, feeling that the people downstairs had almost left, so he slowly walked to the window and pushed it open a crack.
Sure enough, there was no one downstairs anymore, and Qi Rong breathed a sigh of relief. Just when he felt that he had escaped disaster today, he suddenly felt a line of sight.
He looked in shock and saw a man covered in a black cloak standing quietly at the entrance of the alley, looking up in his direction.
Instinct fear instantly occupied Qi Rong's mind. He ran towards the passage in the attic without covering his head, trying to escape from this place. But when he pushed open the entrance of the passage, he felt like a light on his back.
That "person" is behind him.
Qi Rong's heart jumped into his throat for a moment. But he didn't hesitate at all. He bent his waist and rushed into the passage. The passage was built very narrow, which was just suitable for a child like him who had not yet fully grown up.
Then at the moment he bent over, he suddenly felt a pulling force from the depths of his soul. This was not the first time that Qi Rong was attacked by the White Walkers, but the damage to his soul by the White Walkers had always been limited. This was the first time.
Once, I had the feeling that my soul was about to be pulled out of my body.
Strong panic and pain swept through Qi Rong, and he yelled like crazy, but to no avail.
Just when Qi Rong's consciousness began to become blurry, he heard a clear voice coming from his ear: "...Law order, photo!"
He couldn't recognize the entire content, but when the last three words popped out, his originally chaotic brain became clear again in an instant. He subconsciously moved forward and finally escaped the control of the rear.
Qi Rong ducked forward with his head bent, and in a few steps he rushed to the earth building next door. It was only then that he dared to look back boldly.
He saw the ghost figure wearing a black cloak, and the man with white clothes and dark hair standing opposite "it". And the embroidered patterns on the white clothes always seemed familiar to him, very similar to the patterns painted by his father.
Qi Rong knew in his heart that this person had saved him. He should have taken this opportunity to continue running along the passage. As long as he turned a few more places, he could hide safely again.
But when he met the man's eyes, his movements hesitated. The White Walker in the black cloak was the strongest White Walker he had encountered so far, but the human opposite the White Walker was stronger.
Everyone he knows is strong, including... his father.
At this moment, Qi Rong didn't want to run away anymore. He was hiding here and there looking for that person who didn't know where he was. He also had to face countless pursuits and enemies that he couldn't resist at all.
Qi Rong had long been tired of running, and since these people could find him, he wanted to take a gamble. If he lost, his life would be lost. There was nothing to regret about it now.
With this in mind, he still distanced himself from the other side to avoid being affected by the battle. He squatted in the corner and stared closely at the battle between Jie Nanshi and the White Walkers.
He took out a dagger from the cabinet behind him and quickly put it against his neck, ready to kill himself if the White Walkers won. No matter what, he would not become a burden or threat.
Fortunately, the battle ended more smoothly than he expected, and the White Walkers completely dissipated in a burst of lightning.
Jie Nanshi walked up to Qi Rong, squatted down and stretched out his hand to him: "Will you follow me?"
The dagger fell from his hand.
He had suffered a lot these days and never had a peaceful sleep. He was already exhausted. Even just now, he was ready to give up his life. But now, this man gave him a feeling——
He doesn't have to carry it alone.
Of course, this might be a lie, but Qi Rong was really tired. Even if he was deceived, he would admit it even if he was deceived by the person in front of him. In this way, Qi Rong stared at Jie Nanshi for a long time, and finally took the hand that the other person extended.
, and responded firmly with a "OK".
If Song Yu were here at this time, there would probably already be a question mark. Is he not kind enough? Or is he not as handsome as Xie Nanshi? Why did he waste so much effort and finally capture this kid and let him go?
The man ran away. As soon as Xie Nanshi took action, the other party immediately followed him?
Is this reasonable?!
Fortunately, Song Yu wasn't here, so he couldn't see the scene that would make him mentally unbalanced.
At this time, the fire in Song Yu Mansion had already been extinguished. Fortunately, there was no one in the house at the time, and it did not cause much damage. It's just that Master Song couldn't sleep in his room tonight.
The housewarming party was cancelled, so the various meals prepared at home were naturally no longer available.
After Song Yu arranged the subsequent gifts for the guests, thinking not to waste food, he simply changed the housewarming banquet into a welcome banquet for Xie Nanshi, and asked the servants to place all the fine wine and delicacies in the yard behind, and around them
There were many lanterns hung, and they started to light up as soon as the moon came up.
He can't eat the delicious food, but he can still enjoy the atmosphere.
Before Song Yu could finish his emotion, he saw a figure flying in from the outside, screaming and smashing it to the ground. Fortunately, Du Anchen was also waiting for the meal in the courtyard, so he avoided the end of the child receiving the box lunch directly.
.
Song Yu curiously went up to take a look. Qi Rong still didn't look good when he saw him. He snorted and turned his head to the other side.
Song Yu looked at the high wall in his yard again, and his tone became a little uncertain: "Sorry, may I ask, why is your appearance so unique?"
