The disguised dead soldiers had completely surrounded Qin Yugu. She still stood still, but she couldn't think of any good strategy.
The beating of her heart overlapped with those tiny footsteps, and the cold sweat on the girl's face kept falling, but she didn't dare to exhale more.
Five seconds to go! In five seconds they can determine her location!
what to do!?
Qin Yugu was even planning to rush out without a fight, when suddenly a soft palm covered her mouth and nose, and a boy of about seventeen years old appeared behind her. He was a little taller than her.
"Shh~~I'll take you out~"
Qin Yugu could only vaguely judge this from his voice and the distance between the two. The young man wrapped his arms around her body and chuckled.
The dead men suddenly approached, and they thought they would be able to hide the girl hiding here, but there was no one in the narrow corridor.
"No way! I saw her turn into this with my own eyes! It's a dead end over there!"
Even if this girl had a way to climb over the wall, they would definitely not be able to find anything!
But the fact is right in front of them. The target they finally found has disappeared without a trace right under their noses!
"Quick! The person should be nearby, don't let her escape!!"
The captain of the dead soldier gave the order, put his finger to his mouth again, and blew a loud whistle.
Not far away, a black crow flew over and landed on his wristband.
Simply stating the situation and recording it on the note, the dead man tied the note to the crow's leg with a soft rope and threw it away. Helianzhong would know about it in less than a moment.
"I have informed the Lord that the target has been exposed. Now everyone is chasing! Be sure to control everyone before the Lord arrives!"
"yes!"
The dead soldiers immediately dispersed and began to search for traces of the girl across the county.
The young man wore a robe that was as light and luxurious as the gauze of a god. The off-the-shoulder design showed off his perfect body proportions, and his neat short beige hair looked a little messy as he ran wildly.
Qin Yugu was dragged away by him, and while he was at a loss, he began to wonder about his identity.
She didn't even realize what happened just now. After a moment of trance, the space in front of her changed from a deserted corner to a noisy downtown.
Immediately afterwards, the young man grabbed her and started running towards the government office!
How did he escape so much tracking? And this direction...
Isn't it a coincidence?
"Don't ask irrelevant questions for now. I still need your help with some things. At least I can't let you get caught yet~~"
His voice sounded extremely childish, and his self-proclaimed words were very inconsistent. Qin Yugu also felt strange.
The folded wrists clearly indicate that he is about sixteen or seventeen years old. How could he call himself "old man"?
"I won't harm you, and I don't feel any murderous intent in those people, but being caught will be trouble after all!"
As he spoke, he turned back. His crimson eyes reminded Qin Yugu of the expensive agate that used to be placed in modern gem shops. His face was particularly childish and cute. Even when talking about such a tense topic, he couldn't make people feel the same.
Palpitations.
The dead soldiers were almost catching up. Her physical strength was limited, and now she had escaped from the downtown area. Her pursuers were becoming more and more unscrupulous, jumping on the rooftops to increase their speed.
The young man didn't seem to care about the approach of these people. He put his arms around Qin Yugu's waist, then jumped suddenly and raised his hand, and a simple paper fan fell out of his sleeve.
The sun's rays fell between the man's brows and eyes, giving his face a layer of divine brilliance. From Qin Yugu's perspective, it seemed even more important that he should not be neglected.
Suddenly, the surrounding pedestrians and the sparrows in the sky stopped moving, and time seemed to have stopped.
There was also a crisp ringtone, which seemed to be ringing around me, but also seemed to come from a distant time and space.
"It's not convenient to talk here~ I'll take you to a quiet place, let's have some snacks and talk slowly~"
After saying that, the gauze on his body enveloped the two of them, and the too strong light forced her to close her eyes.
And those dead soldiers finally understood why the girl disappeared in their encirclement.
Now, the two people who were still within the pursuit range have completely disappeared from their sight!
"Okay~ little girl, you can open your eyes~"
The gauze was removed from her body, and then she realized that she was sitting on a piece of green grass. The scenery nearby was extremely beautiful, with gurgling water, flowers and birds, and another person who was no stranger was sitting not far away and watching at leisure.
Hold her.
"Oh! I didn't expect Huo Yin to bring you here!"
Nan Shu clearly expected that Huo Yin would rescue Qin Yugu during this trip, but he still leaned against the tree with a poor tone, as if he didn't know that she would appear here.
But his sour tone and joking expression betrayed his true thoughts.
The girl quickly recovered from the shock, patted her face, tucked her clothes and stood up.
"Is this the proof you said?"
The young man who had been replaced by Huo Yin by Nan Shu also sat beside him. Hot tea and various delicious pastries were placed on the cushions under the tree. Huo Yin took the pastries and enjoyed them with great interest.
"No, this is just the first step. After all, I can't bring you here myself..."
Nan Shu stood up lightly and walked to the girl's side.
"You are an honest girl, and you are straightforward...I think you should be the kind of person who will never owe others favors for no reason!"
The guess he came up with seemed to have been made for a while, but it seemed extremely ridiculous to Qin Yugu.
"Even if I want to default on this favor, you won't give me the chance!"
Nan Shu chuckled, feeling that this girl had a strategy.
There were very few situations where a fraudster couldn't take advantage of it, so she chose the one that left him with no countermeasures.
Follow his intentions, but never let him achieve his final goal!
So what if I follow you? As long as she doesn't take the bait at the last step, all the previous plans will be in vain!
"Don't say it so harshly. We have already saved you, but you can't turn your back and deny it~"
Huo Yin slapped his mouth and said innocently——
"Actually, little girl, you don't have anything to worry about! Ah Shu has no bad intentions. If he really wanted to harm you, you would have died long ago!"
Nan Shu's true nature was revealed with an innocent face, and the other party seemed to have forgotten that he was also one of them.
"Why do you dare to act with him?"
The first moment Qin Yugu saw Nan Shu, he knew that this guy was not a good guy. Even though he looked harmless, he was definitely not as docile and gentle as he appeared.
As for Huo Yin, even the sophisticated Qin Yugu couldn't see through him.
Maybe it's too simple, or maybe it's hidden too deeply?
"I'm not afraid, ordinary people can't kill me!"
In front of Nan Shu, Huo Yin no longer calls himself an old man. The relationship between the two is very close, but it always has an indescribable weirdness.
Nan Shu was not embarrassed and put his hand on Qin Yugu's shoulder with a smile——
"You haven't eaten good food, right! Come on, these pastries and tea are the best products from high-end restaurants!"
As he said that, he took the girl and sat side by side next to Huo Yin. The blond boy felt the crisis and immediately grabbed most of the snacks in front of him with his arms.
"Stingy!" Nan Shu scolded with a smile, then twisted up a piece of the remaining pastry and brought it to Qin Yugu's mouth. His smile was elegant and charming, and his sweet voice was also full of magnetism. "Try a piece?"
Qin Yugu sat upright and said lightly——
"My parents taught me not to eat anything given by strangers."
Nan Shu burst into laughter, feeling sympathy and sadness for Qin Yugu's pretending to be stupid.
"Any parent in this world is qualified to say this to their children, but your adoptive parents are not. You know this better than me!"
The young man's expression suddenly turned sinister and terrifying——
"Most of the missing children in the county left snacks laced with drugs at the scene... Your parents did this kind of unscrupulous thing, and I don't believe you don't know about it!"
Huo Yin, who was still eating fiercely, saw that Nan Shu was in a bad mood, and tried his best to use his eyes to hint the girl not to talk back again, but Qin Yugu still had no expression on his face.
"You claim to be the governor's envoy, you deliberately betrayed me, and now you plan to threaten me?"
boom--!!
There was a sudden spin, Qin Yugu was grabbed by the collar, and his whole back was pressed against the tree, with deep-seated hatred in his pink pupils.
"I'll say it one last time, please cooperate with me. I hate human traffickers the most in my life, those beasts who take other people's lives for granted. Either die or agree to my terms. You have a blind brother at home. Don't think I don't know.
!”
He even brought out Qin Yugu's biggest weakness, and the girl showed an extremely cold smile after hearing this.
"You said you are the governor. If you are just investigating the disappearance of children... you can just threaten the family. Why bother looking for me?"
It was not because he doubted his purpose, but because the time when Nan Shu found her was too coincidental.
She discovered the clues that the county government had replaced the corpses of the villagers, and this person discovered that she was pretending to be a ghost. No matter what you think, it must be related to this incident!
Moreover, he also revealed the secret of the soft armor worn by the county magistrate. This is not something that can be known through ordinary investigation, right?
She told Nanshu’s hidden true purpose word for word——
"Children are not the only ones missing in the county. I just took a quick look on the street. The people here are open and there are quite a few older women showing up! But almost no girls in their prime of life show up... People are selling children.
I won’t silence you…but those missing cardamom girls are the ones you want to track down!”
Huo Yin opened his mouth in shock, and Qin Yugu became even more convinced of her guess.
"You saw that I found something wrong with the corpses of those village girls, so they came to me in the middle of the night. They just wanted me to work together to get evidence that the county magistrate was persecuting village girls!"
Her thoughts were spinning rapidly. This pressing step was not to anger Nan Shu. Negotiations required conditions. If she pretended not to know anything from the beginning, it would be easy to be looked down upon by such a guy...
She couldn't completely trust these people, and it was hard to tell whether they would push her out in the end just to shirk responsibility!
Even if she is pushed out in the end...she will still get enough benefits!
The silent confrontation between the two lasted for a long time, and in the end Nan Xuan was defeated.
"You are a sharp-tongued person. I didn't expect you to be able to think calmly after just escaping from death... but I miscalculated!"
Nan Shu took a deep breath, closed her eyes and loosened her clothes.
Her brother is still in the hands of the couple, but the couple's business is protected by the county government. She is asked to take the initiative to provide evidence against the county government. She will definitely be timid because of the existence of Qin Jianghuai.
It's not impossible to insert a knife.
"I can provide you with evidence...and I also have a complete plan..."
The cunning in the girl's eyes was deeper than that in Nan Shu's, and she asked both Huo Yin and Nan Shu to come close to her.
"Can you guarantee that the people in the county government will not be able to see through your forged identity?"
Nan Shu nodded confidently. He has been traveling around for many years, and the forged things have never been found to be fake so far!
Qin Yugu turned to look at Huo Yin again.
"Are there any restrictions on how you can use your ability in front of others?"
The boy whose cheeks were bulging shook his head. The use of divine power requires rest, but as long as the country's capital is not consumed, there is no big problem.
The smile on the corner of the girl's mouth became thicker and thicker. Now the conditions provided by these two people can be maintained. Next...
As long as she, the "inner ghost", cooperates inside and outside, and gives this rotten county government a good beating, it will only be a matter of time before the injustice is redressed!
"Sir! That girl was led away by a blond boy. We followed her with all our strength, but unexpectedly the other party seemed to use a blind trick! After the strong light flashed, both of them disappeared!"
On the streets outside the county town, Helianzhong looked at the place where Qin Yugu had just disappeared. After listening to his subordinate's statement, he already had some calculations in his mind.
Picking up the black jade flute, gray aura clung to his eyes. In the field of vision after the power was activated, there was a lot of strong anger left on the ground where the girl last appeared, mixed with a sacred aura.
To be able to take someone away out of thin air while being tracked by so many dead soldiers... you can't do it with a blind eye!
He already has a candidate in mind, but Helianzhong has never met him, he only heard his father mention it...
"The priest who is destined to protect the royal family is also the youngest prince...the person who inherits the divine power of the royal family's ancestral hall..."
Slowly speaking a key word, each word made the identity of the blond boy clearer, and Helianzhong stopped lingering.
"Let's go, the little girl has been taken away by him now. That person is pure and kind in nature, and he should not harm her."
But why did that person appear here? And why did he take Na Nizi away?
Although he was not worried about Qin Yugu's safety, Helian Zhong was still filled with anger.
That Nizi! Didn’t you respond quickly to him in the past? How come you managed to escape his pursuers halfway and get intercepted by a 17-year-old priest?!
He felt that Qin Yugu was too wary. After the dead man found her, he just brought her to him and didn't do anything more.
But I'm even more angry that this girl just ran away with a man she didn't know! She was obviously teasing and wary when she rescued him, but she trusts others so wholeheartedly?!
Favoring one over the other! That’s too much!
"Let's go! Everyone go back, he wants to hide, and no one of you can find him!"
Several dead soldiers saw that the prince was not angry just now, and their expressions suddenly changed as if they had seen something with their dongxiao, which was a bit strange.
You are not angry when you are lost, but now you are so angry that you are glaring when you return. What is going on?
After discussing the plan with Nan Shu, Qin Yugu also made adjustments to the operation under Nan Shu's suggestion. After the three confirmed their respective tasks, Huo Yin was sent away by Nan Shu.
Now there were only two people left on the lawn, the girl and the boy, but the atmosphere was not relaxed at all.
"What do you want to say to me alone?"
The young man sat next to her. After the conversation just now, he no longer dared to underestimate this skinny girl.
The plan she proposed was closely followed step by step, which not only minimized the risk of being betrayed by the county government, but also allowed the people here to achieve maximum innocence.
If he still regards Qin Yugu as a poor girl with no ideas, he would be really stupid!
"You must be rich, right?"
Regardless of her clothes or demeanor, Nan Shu was much better than the ordinary people she saw on the street. To say that she was similar, she was somewhat similar to the duplicitous black-haired man.
It's just that the past that Nan Shu carries seems to be heavier. He may not be as old as that man, but he is more sinister and mature than him.
"You have money? Do you want some silver to live on?"
Nan Shu suddenly suppressed Qin Yugu, forcing the girl to fall down in the grass, and the two of them stared directly at each other.
"I can give you a lot of money, but don't you think...compared to money that can be spent sooner or later, it's more cost-effective to follow someone who can always bring you wealth?"
The young man's expression was extremely gentle, as if the girl in front of him was his beloved lover. The soft light clinging to his eyes could make any woman who was looking at him fall in love.
With a smile on his lips, the young man picked up a bunch of her unique silver bangs, put it to his mouth and kissed her gently, which was romantic and affectionate to the extreme.
"How about following me? You can take your brother with you, and I will take you away from here to a richer and more beautiful city. You will never be troubled by poverty and power again. I can give you any life you want, as long as you swear to be good in the future.
Listen to me, no matter how much money or benefits, I can cash it in..."
Qin Yugu just looked at him indifferently. She really couldn't deny Nan Shu's beauty, exotic face, high nose, sharp eyes, and soft purple hair like fine silk.
Of course, the prerequisite for all this to make her feel good was that he didn't say the previous words.
For this young man, is even love something that can be measured by price and money?
"Whether it's cost-effective or not is another matter. I'm not interested in hearing it if you're talking like this on top of me."
It is true that she is not completely unmoved by beautiful things, but even though the young man's pretense is full of temptation, in the end his tenderness is just a simple sugar-coated bomb.
If she is really a little girl who doesn't know much about the world and doesn't have enough to eat every day, maybe even if she understands that he won't give up his so-called sincerity.
Nan Shu was stunned for a moment, and Qin Yugu pushed the young man away with a cold expression.
"Hypnosis may still be effective for people who trust you, but for me... you better save it. You should know better than me the consequences of using this method poorly and the backlash!"
After saying that, she stood up and glanced at the smoke in the distance and the sun above her head.
"Although I don't know what the secret of Huo Yin's ability is, it's not all-powerful. This is a village in the south of the city, and the situation is much better than that in Qinjia Village!"
Qin Yugu walked towards the county seat without looking back. He didn't want to mess around with this insidious and naive young man anymore.
After all, he is a teenage boy who has given up something prematurely and thinks that all the feelings and interests in the world can be obtained through exchange and deception, right?
But she had celebrated her 28th birthday long before she traveled through time. She had seen and understood much more than these people who seemed to be much older than her.
It took a long time for Nan Shu to come to his senses, his face turned red, and he yelled in the direction where Qin Yugu left.
"Why don't you just interrupt me if you see through it! Do you look down on me?!"
The girl paused and turned around, with a bright and gentle smile——
"If I interrupt you midway, won't the backlash of hypnosis cause you harm?"
She was sure she wouldn't fall for it, so why would she deliberately hurt him seriously?
If people don't offend me, I won't offend them.
As he turned to leave, Qin Yugu explained clearly what he was going to say to Nan Shu from the beginning.
"I'm asking you for money as a reward for providing evidence this time, and you must spare some energy to help me look after that couple. If something goes wrong with my brother while I'm helping you... don't blame me for falling out!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand. The sunshine and air here are very good. Qin Yugu has now settled his worries. Just take a walk as a kind of enjoyment, right?
"If you want to get evidence that the county government is unclean quickly, you can also try to start with the Qin family. I told you when I left that if there is a way to create opportunities for my brother, he will not let you down!"
The girl walked very gracefully, Nan Shu gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and ran away angrily.
In the Qin family's only courtyard where smoke still lingered, Qin Jianghuai sat at the dining table with empty eyes, a little at a loss.
The butcher sat opposite him, and on the table were several bowls of green vegetables and a plate of soy sauce meat. They ate less of these, and Qin Jianghuai could only eat a little on New Year's Eve.
But it wasn’t a holiday or New Year’s Eve, so the couple actually served sauced pork and invited him to the dining table to eat together!
The boy didn't understand why his adoptive parents' attitude changed so drastically.
"Jiang Huai! What happened last time was because we were wrong. You should eat more to replenish your body. When your parents make money, they will take you to the county town to have your eyes looked at by the doctor!"
The woman thoughtfully put the sauced meat into Qin Jianghuai's bowl and added some vegetables.
But if the boy's eyes were not blind yet, he would have seen the caring woman, whose expression at this moment was nothing but disgust and disgust.
The butcher's face was not good-looking either. It seemed that it was a waste of time to spare the little food left in the house to treat this boy who had no much value anymore. He seemed to have completely forgotten that the reason why the boy was in such a situation was all because of him at that time.
Deliberately pushing Qin Jianghuai in front of the spilled poison.
The boy's hand was holding chopsticks, and the other hand was holding a broken enamel bowl. The bowl was full of steaming dishes, but he didn't move his chopsticks for a long time.
The butcher was a little impatient, slapped the table and yelled -
"Don't be so shameless! I usually don't want to eat good food and meat. If that damn girl hadn't gone to the county town, she would definitely have benefits in the future if she worked hard. Who would want to support a blind waste like you!"
"
He didn't want to mention Qin Yugu's obviously threatening words, which would only enhance the boy's prestige. He just reminded him that he still has a sister in the county. It would be hard to wait until Qin Yugu comes back if he doesn't eat well now!
But the boy is also a thoughtful person. The butcher's tone was so impatient. It must be that his sister had done something extraordinary before going to the county town, which made them suddenly change their attitude towards him...
He didn't say anything, he picked up the bowl with difficulty, and carefully planned how to get evidence that the couple had been abducting people near the county seat.
Because Qin Jianghuai was literate, he helped them handle the accounts of income and expenditure, but they did it very covertly. On the surface, it looked the same as ordinary livestock trading accounts, and he couldn't make any corrections if he handed them over.
Therefore, the process of their trafficking itself must be exposed...
The boy ate meat voraciously. He must get well soon now. The couple's traffickers will definitely not move around their home, and the abducted children also need a place to be detained.
If you find an opportunity to follow them, you might be able to get evidence!
Sneak into the bedroom when they are not at home, and you may have a chance to get other accounts!
The reason why accounts of human trafficking are deliberately left behind and must be disguised must not be for the convenience of memory...
He vaguely remembered that when his sister would stay vigil at the cemetery every night, he would be washing clothes at home alone, and he would hear his adoptive parents talking respectfully to some people outside, saying "Master" and "Master" all the time.
kind!
Those accounts should be for them to see. Someone in the county government colluded with them to do this kind of thing!
Qin Jianghuai still felt lucky that he had not been betrayed by this couple in the past, so he naturally did not suspect this.
But both he and his sister were almost killed. If they continue to be weak, they may really be eaten to the bone!
We must fight back! Now is not the time... But we must find an opportunity. After we get the evidence, we must hold back for a while to confirm my sister's safety, and then let these heartless beasts pay the price!
"Boom!"
There was a knock on the door, and a strange male voice shouted arrogantly outside.
"Hurry up and open the door for me! The county magistrate has something urgent to see you!"
The butcher and his wife were still trying to calm Qin Jianghuai's emotions, but they were all startled. The woman immediately walked out of the back room and walked to the door.
What I saw when I opened the door was a young man wearing a blue police officer's uniform. He was handsome and looked very handsome.
But the sword in his hand didn't look fake, so the woman didn't dare to neglect and welcomed him in.
"This official is here to invite... I wonder what the county magistrate has to do this time?"
The young detective glared at the woman and saw that she did not dare to speak anymore, then he looked at the boy.
