Back Off, Let Me Come

Chapter 17 017: Shame (Part 1)

Qishan's eyes swept over the eleven corpses one by one.

He thought for a while and found no doubts.

Simply don't want to, just copy the answer.

"Who is missing?"

"A man." After Shen Tang answered, he added some details, "A man about seven feet four inches tall."

"A man about seven feet four?"

Qishan muttered again, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind.

He knew who Shen Tang was talking about!

"Yes, there is indeed such a person missing."

This man may still be alive!

Qi Shan fixed his eyes on the hands of the eleven corpses.

The hands of these corpses are very rough, with a dark complexion and many calluses. Even the old nuns in silk and satin have a pair of hands that work all the year round, but these corpses do not have a pair of hands that hold pens all the year round. Long-term writing with a pen will deform the knuckles, and the degree of deformation is related to the age and length of calligraphy practice. These corpses do not have such characteristics.

But the side room where they stayed just now had several bookshelves, and there were two books, one large and one small, in front of the window. The bamboo slips on the books were for children to enlighten. If the enlightened child is Ah Yan, then where is the person who enlightened him at this moment?

Of course, these alone are not enough to prove anything. It is also possible that Mr. Enlightenment teaches children during the day and lives in his own home at night. But the bandit You Wudan who opened the door for the two of them before was wearing a brown Confucian shirt that didn't fit very well, which is interesting.

A more likely guess is that this dress did not belong to a bandit, but its owner was the gentleman who enlightened the child.

Qishan said: "Then what? What's the use of finding it?"

Shen Tang said: "At least I can know some inside information."

Qishan couldn't help laughing, and reminded Shen Tang.

"Mr. Shen Xiaolang, do you still remember your identity at this time? Not to mention that this matter has nothing to do with you, even if it has something to do with you, if you are involved at the moment, once you find out, you may be a muddlehead, and you will never return. Draw your sword to help when you see injustice, and take care of things when you encounter something, this is the style of a knight-errant."

Shen Tang: "..."

It's not a good thing to say, but it's the truth.

She should be hanging on now instead of wandering.

The whole Zhuangzi has also been searched, and there is no one else alive except the two of them. Without any clues, Shen Tang had no choice but to put on the coir raincoat and bamboo hat again, and went back to Qianjia Village with Qishan. Through the rain curtain, he saw the villager who was waiting for someone at the head of the village. It just so happened that Muramasa also saw the two of them, and rushed to greet them: "The two of you can be counted back—"

Shen Tang regretted: "We still haven't found..."

Unexpectedly, Muramasa said, "A Yan has been found."

Both Shen Tang and Qi Shan were surprised: "Have you found it?"

Qishan asked again: "What about others?"

Shen Tang also asked: "Where did he go before?"

Murakami was happy for Ah Yan's safety, seeing the enthusiasm of the two strangers, the smile on his face was even bigger.

He made a special trip to stay at the head of the village to wait for the two to come back to tell the good news: "Ah Yan was called out by his teacher earlier, and the gentleman said that he would take him away and go north to find relatives. Because something happened, he had to leave immediately. This time Already on the way..."

Shen Tang and Qishan looked at each other.

"A Yan's teacher?"

"What's so urgent that you have to leave overnight in the rain?"

Muramasa didn't know either, and he couldn't ask too much.

Shen Tang asked: "A Yan left with him voluntarily?"

Muramasa asked strangely, "What are you talking about, Mr. Xiaolang?"

Shen Tang laughed awkwardly.

Muramasa said again: "Don't worry, that gentleman is a good person."

Even if he is not a good person, he will not be a kidnapper. A child is worthless these days, let alone a fool with brain disease.

Why did you go to such lengths to kidnap and sell him?

The torrential rain showed no sign of stopping.

More than ten miles away from Qianjia Village.

The red-covered steed was running through the dense forest against the heavy rain.

There are two people, one big and one small, on the back of the horse.

The older one has gray hair and looks quite young, wearing a crescent-colored Confucian shirt, coir raincoat and bamboo hat. The younger one didn't wear any rain gear, and was holding the reins tightly with both hands.

Take a closer look, isn't this child with pursed lips and serious face the A Yan who everyone has been looking for in the middle of the night?

"drive!"

The horse's hooves fell, splashing muddy water.

The red horse jumped out of the dense forest like a ball of flames, without the slightest hesitation, it leaped two feet, and stopped after crossing the rushing stream.

"Ayan, it's okay..."

A weak voice came from behind.

Ah Yan controlled the steed to half-kneel, and helped the frail old man get off the horse with one hand, blood and water mixed with rainwater gathered under the old man's feet. He was unable to sit on the ground, his face was pale and blue, and his right hand was always covering the position below his right rib, and the wound kept bleeding.

The old man took several deep breaths and took a breath to suppress the severe pain of the wound, but the blue veins on his forehead were still throbbing uncontrollably.

Ah Yan looked at the old man sadly, and raised his hand to help him straighten the crooked bamboo hat. The old man pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying: "It's okay, fortunately, I didn't get into it deeply, so I shouldn't die..."

After a while, he saw Ah Yan take out a piece of sticky caramel, the size of a thumb, stained with blood and wet by the rain, from the wet pouch. He handed it to the old man's mouth and said, "Teacher, eat."

The old man smiled and did not refuse.

The taste of caramel is really not good.

He tore off the sleeves of his clothes and made a simple bandage around the wound. After finishing this, he stood up with Ah Yan's support, and said to himself: "Let's find a place where we can shelter from the rain first, and then go to Xiaocheng with some dry food..."

Ah Yan murmured: "Xiaocheng?"

The old man said: "Yes, go there first and then make plans."

This time the chase was lucky enough to escape, but what about the next time?

Luck will not always patronize him, so make preparations early.

It's just a pain for the child, Ah Yan, who wants to run around with this bad old man at a young age, and originally wanted to keep him, but——the child has his own ideas when he grows up.

Ah Yan nodded: "Well, go to Xiaocheng!"

"Does Ah Yan know where Xiaocheng is?"

"I don't know." Ah Yan pointed at the horse, "There is a big red horse."

The old man couldn't help laughing: "You are still too young, the big red horse won't last long, and maintaining it forcibly will cause you a lot of burden... A Yan, put away your big red horse. The situation is better as a teacher, let's find it first A shelter from the rain for the night..."

Ayan nodded vigorously.

It was a very difficult night.

When Shen Tang woke up, the rain had stopped.

The soil outside the house was muddy, and the potholes were full of muddy water. The villager had already packed the dry food prepared for the two of them.

While the sun was not yet big, Qishan decided to set off early.

The two of them drove for an hour before they came across a roadside tea shop, so they decided to stop to rest their feet and drink some tea to catch their breath.

There was a sound of horseshoes coming from far and near. There were about a hundred people, all dressed as soldiers, and a few prison carts were escorting them behind the team.

Qi Shan glanced at it from the corner of his eye: "Don't be nervous, Mr. Shen Xiaolang, I'm not looking for you. This group should be Geng soldiers."

_(:з」∠)_This chapter has been revised several times.

I always felt that the previous plot was not going well, so I hesitated a few times and changed the person who was hunted down to Ah Yan's teacher.
