"Can I take Brother Shao with me?" Diao Jun asked.
Jia Zhengjin shook his head.
"Then I won't leave!"
After several attempts to persuade him, Diao Jun did not change his mind. As long as Huang Shao refused to leave, he would not leave and would face any disaster.
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Jia Zhengjin sighed: "In that case, take care of yourself, evildoer! We will meet again someday if we are destined."
"Brother Jia!" Diao Jun wanted to say something else, but the next moment he found that Jia Zhengjin had disappeared without a trace.
After being in a daze for a while, he turned around and ran to the window to look inside, only to see Huang Shao sleeping soundly.
He looked up at the starry sky, but saw that Brother Jia did not appear again, so he quietly pushed the door open and entered the Earth Temple, and lay down next to Huang Shao.
After confirming that Huang Shao was sleeping deeply, he secretly took out the handkerchief in his arms, and the beautiful face of Qiao Xi appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but be fascinated.
Early next morning.
Huang Shao and Diao Jun were lying side by side, both sleeping soundly.
"Bah, bang, bang!" A sudden knock on the door woke them up at the same time.
Huang Shao didn't know what happened last night, let alone that his good brother Diao Jun was abducted by a female ghost and experienced a life-and-death escape.
I was woken up early in the morning. I stood up in a daze and shouted: "Who is it? Knock, knock, knock, what are you knocking?"
"It's so noisy~" Diao Jun also sat up in confusion, thinking about telling Huang Shao what happened last night.
What I wanted to say at night, after all, what happened was too exaggerated, especially when I got Qiao Xi's handkerchief, and when I thought about the skin-to-skin contact with her when I carried her to escape, I couldn't calm down. I just didn't want to wake Huang Shao up, so I couldn't bear it.
the next day.
But someone knocked on the door early in the morning. What happened?
Very few people come here to the Tutu Temple because it has been abandoned long ago. They go to the New Tutu Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, which has nothing to do with this place.
Huang Shao opened the door and looked outside in confusion.
"Hey!" Standing outside the door was a clerk from a silk and satin shop. He glanced at Huang Shao and asked directly, "Huang Shao, would you like to do some work?"
When he heard that there was a job, Huang Shao immediately opened his eyes and was very excited: "Let's do it!"
"That's good!" said the waiter, "Boss Wang is going to the next door town of Changyang today to buy a batch of goods, but someone is seriously ill and can't accompany him. So he needs to find a temporary helper, and he will give him four big cakes a day and 50 copper coins."
"Great!" This was pie in the sky. Huang Shao was so excited that he turned around and shouted to Diao Jun, "Jun'er, hurry up! There's work to do! Four big cakes a day and 50 copper coins!"
"Really?" Diao Jun was also excited and hurried over.
"Only one person!" The man shook his head, "It doesn't matter which one of you two goes."
"Can't we brothers go together?" Huang Shao said hurriedly, "If you hire one more person, the work can be finished earlier!"
"The boss said, only one!" The waiter shook his head.
"Ah?" Huang Shao looked back at Diao Jun with some embarrassment, "This..."
While Diao Jun was disappointed, he also remembered what Qiao Xi said last night. If he and Brother Shao went to the next town to move goods, he would probably miss his appointment today and not be able to meet her in the temple. Thinking of this, he said to Huang Shao: "
Brother Shao, why don't you go ahead! I'll look around the town to see if there are any other jobs."
"Is it okay?" Huang Shao asked.
"It's okay! But I have something to tell you..." Before he left, Diao Jun wanted to tell Huang Shao what happened last night.
"The convoy is waiting near the city gate, we don't have time to waste time!" the guy urged, "If you want to go, come with me quickly, or you'll have to find someone else!"
"Go, go, go! I'll go!" Huang Shao turned around hurriedly, "Jun'er, we'll talk about it when we come back if we have something to do. I'll go work first and bring back food in the evening!"
We can talk about it in the evening. We finally got a job and the pay is good. Diao Jun doesn't want to let it go to waste: "Okay! Let's talk about it in the evening."
Huang Shao hurriedly left with the waiter, leaving Diao Jun alone.
After watching them leave, I went back to the house, took out my handkerchief, and stayed there for a while. I would see Xi'er in the afternoon, so I went to get some food first.
A man wandered the streets of Qimu Town for a long time, but he had no luck. He couldn't find any work or anything to eat.
In desperation, I prepared to leave the city and dig some wild vegetables nearby.
The fear that the forest gave him last night was still there, but it was too uncomfortable to be hungry. Besides, it should be fine in broad daylight, and ghosts would not appear to harm anyone.
What's more, Brother Jia also said that the female ghost in the white dress had been eliminated by him.
After walking for a while towards the east city gate, we suddenly came face to face with several soldiers holding wooden spears.
When the soldiers saw him, they rushed over without saying a word and captured him very savagely.
Diao Jun was startled, wondering what was going on? He quickly asked: "Why are you arresting me?"
"Where is Huang Shao?" the soldier holding him shouted sharply.
"Brother Shao?" Diao Jun subconsciously wanted to answer, but he immediately swallowed the fact that he went to the next town. "Brother Shao, what's wrong?"
"Where is Huang Shao?"
"I, I don't know..." Diao Jun shook his head hastily. Although he didn't know what was going on, his first reaction was to protect Huang Shao.
"You two are inseparable, how could you not know?"
"I really don't know..."
"Don't worry so much. I'm afraid this person is also an accomplice. Let's arrest him first!"
"What kind of accomplice? What an injustice! Brother Shao and I abide by the law and have never exceeded it!"
"Stop making noise!" A soldier slapped him hard on the head, "Did you two pick up two hundred taels of silver yesterday?"
Hearing this, Diao Jun's face changed. How did he know this?
Shouldn't it be that heaven knows and earth knows, only he and Brother Shao know?
"I, I don't know what you are talking about..." He hurriedly shook his head in denial, and that was all he could do at the moment.
Because it’s not clear at all. If you tell them that all the silver ingots were stolen by thieves, will anyone believe you?
"Stop quibbling!" A soldier took out a silver ingot and said, "This was found in the corner of the Earth Temple. Is it the silver ingot you picked up yesterday?"
Silver ingots were found in Tutu Temple? How is it possible?
Diao Jun didn't believe it. His eyes fell on the soldier's hands and he found that the silver ingots looked familiar. They were very similar to those he picked up at the time and lost later.
How could this happen? Could it be Brother Shao?
Impossible! Brother Shao has always been with him.
Then why did they say that this silver ingot was found in Tutu Temple?
Unable to understand!
Seeing that he didn't speak, the soldier asked sharply: "Where is the remaining silver?"
"I really don't know!" Diao Jun could only bite him to death because he couldn't explain clearly.
"Take him back and torture him severely!"
"I was wronged!" Diao Jun was very frightened when he heard the words "torture", and the great disaster that Brother Jia mentioned last night appeared in his mind. Maybe this is what he was referring to?
"take away!"
"Crash!" The soldiers put shackles on him fiercely and pulled him toward the government office.
This situation attracted the attention of the people in the city, and many people stopped to watch.
Diao Jun was so frightened that he could only shout at the top of his lungs: "I'm wronged! I'm really wronged!!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Let's see how long you can keep your words! Let's go!!"
