Chapter 64: Nie Su
Inside Da'an Fang, it's quiet.
Chongdefang is far away from here, almost half of Chang'an County.
Even if the movement of Lingbao Temple is very large, Da'anfang has not been affected.
The old priest of Wuhou, who was on duty at night, came out of the Wuhou shop, climbed up the fang building to look out, and then shook his head and came down from the fang building again.
"In the middle of the night, who's making a fuss? I don't let people sleep! ”
He muttered, dissatisfied.
It's no wonder that too much has happened in recent times.
Although the Wuhou and Fang Ding of Gelifang do not need to patrol the streets like Jin Wuwei and bad people, they can't sleep peacefully.
All kinds of temporary inspections, all kinds of assessments, one after another.
So much so that Lao Si couldn't sleep well for several days, and his spirit was extremely sluggish.
He walked to the crossroads, looked a few times forward, backward, left and right, and after making sure that there was no situation, he dragged himself back to Wuhou Shop.
Not long after Lao Si entered Wuhou Shop, Su Dawei staggered to the cross street.
He made his way and walked towards the southwest corner of Da'an Fang. Soon, he saw a canal, and on the bank of the canal, a long-abandoned wine shop stood quietly, looking deserted from a distance.
Lujia wine shop!
Su Dawei coughed for a while, and his feet sped up.
The Lu family's liquor store has been idle for nearly two months since the death of the shopkeeper Lu.
Before, Fang Zheng of Da'an Fang wanted to sell it here, but he didn't expect that Di Renjie would lead people to search for stolen goods here, and completely seal the wine shop, which also made Fang Zheng's wishful thinking fail. It was completely abandoned.
Half of the exterior walls of the liquor store collapsed, and the doors and windows also fell to the ground.
Moonlight, sprinkled on the ruins. When Su Dawei bought one foot into the door of the wine store, he heard a cat meow inside, and several stray cats ran out and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Su Dawei stood at the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
He wanted to go back to Tongshanfang, but it was a little difficult.
The most important thing is that he is afraid that Mingzhen will follow him, and when the time comes, Mingkong and Di Renjie will be exposed.
Another important reason why he chose to come to the Lu family wine store is that Su Dawei knows that there is a secret cellar in the wine shop. In addition, the liquor store had died before, and it was later seized, so that no one usually came here.
I entered the backyard in the dark and found the entrance to the cellar next to the firewood room.
Su Dawei stretched out his hand and removed the lid from the cellar.
However, the moment he removed the lid, he suddenly shivered.
Last time, Di Renjie brought someone over to search and found stolen goods from the cellar. With the virtue of Yang Yizhi's men, they will definitely not rebuild the cellar. And the Wuhou of Da'anfang will not have this kind of leisure. Well, who put the lid on.
A thought crossed his mind, and he heard the sound of a blink in his ears.
Although he was injured, Su Dawei's skills are still there.
Instinctively, he flickered sideways, and a sharp arrow shot out of the cellar, grazing his body and flying past, right in the middle of the earthen wall.
"Who?"
Su Dawei subconsciously wanted to draw his knife, but remembered that his knife had been broken in Lingbao Temple.
Not only the knife, but also the crossbow was also left in Lingbao Temple.
All he had left was the Demon Slaying Pestle, so his arm shook, and a shield appeared on his arm, and he jumped into the cellar.
A dark shadow pounced, blade in hand.
Clang!
With a soft sound, the blade fell on the shield, and Su Dawei grabbed the wrist of the incoming person, performed a grappling skill, and pressed the incoming person to the ground in an instant. The shield pressed on the man, and Su Dawei shouted and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Let go of me, let go of me!"
Listen to the voice, it's a girl.
Su Dawei frowned, and his hand was forced.
He snatched the dagger from the girl's hand, removed the shield, and put the dagger around the girl's neck.
"Don't move, or the knife and gun will be blind."
The girl immediately stopped struggling.
Su Dawei listened outward, but there was no movement.
He breathed a sigh of relief, got up and put away his shield, and said, "Slow up, be honest." ”
The girl was obedient and slowly got up from the ground.
However, she suddenly ran out, and before she could run to the cellar entrance, Su Dawei had already stepped forward and pressed her to the ground again.
"I warn you, if you mess around again, I'm welcome."
"Okay, I'm not running, I'm not running."
"You're really not running?"
"I really don't run away."
"If you dare to run again, it depends on how fast you run or how fast the knife in my hand is."
As he spoke, Su Dawei just opened the girl again, and threw the dagger with a flick of his hand.
The dagger streaked a cold light, and the canopy was right in the middle of the wooden plank at the mouth of the cellar. The dagger sank into the plank, and the hilt trembled.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Su Dawei walked over, pulled the dagger off, and then grabbed the lid next to the entrance with one hand, and pulled it hard to close the lid.
In the cellar, it was pitch black.
"Is there a fire?"
"Yes."
The girl didn't dare to mess around anymore and replied in a trembling voice.
"Dot."
The girl said yes and went into the corner in the dark.
Although it was dark in the cellar, Su Dawei could see it clearly.
He saw that the girl, when she was picking up half of the candle, had secretly pulled out a dagger from the side of the haystack and hid it on her body.
This little girl is very clever and vigilant.
呲-
The fire flickered, and the girl lit the candle.
Candles have a long history in China. However, the first candles were not made of paraffin wax as the case in later generations, but were mainly made of beeswax or animal fat. This also makes the range of use of candles very narrow. In the Tang Dynasty, most of the people who could use candles were those from the upper class, and ordinary people could not use them at all.
The little girl didn't know where she found the candle, lit it, put it on the ground, and retracted it into the corner.
The light is a little better than that of an oil lamp.
Su Dawei glanced at the girl and nodded.
"If you're scared, light it.
If you think it's wasteful, you destroy it. But one thing, don't try to run away, don't bother me, understand? ”
"Got it!"
The girl nodded like a chick pecking rice.
Su Dawei glanced at her again and slowly closed his eyes.
He could have killed the girl, it would have been safer, but he couldn't.
However, he wasn't worried about what the girl could do. Although he was injured, it was not difficult to kill her.
Yuan Qi is everywhere.
It is from rigid to large, and to yin to soft.
Su Dawei performed the whale swallowing technique, mobilized the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and repaired the body.
At the same time, there was a warm air flow flowing in the body, mixed with Yuan Qi, repairing, and also strengthening Su Dawei's meridians, bones, skin and flesh. He sat there, motionless, but a whirlpool of air currents was created around his body.
The girl cautiously leaned over, took the candle in her hand, and retracted into the corner.
She looked at Su Dawei curiously, and her bright eyes flashed.
Instead of running away, she blew out the candle. The whole person curled up on the grass, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
This night, she slept soundly.
It's been a long time since I've slept so soundly......
Since escaping from Lingbao Temple that night, she has been wandering around Chang'an City, hiding in Tibet.
She saw things she shouldn't see, heard things she shouldn't hear, and provoked a terrible pursuer.
The pursuer was terrifying, elusive.
Fortunately, she was born with a keen instinct to sense danger.
It was also with this intuition that she evaded her pursuers several times and finally hid here.
She didn't know how long she was going to hide, or what to do next. Every day, she was scared of exposing her secrets. Now, she was suddenly at ease, so she slept soundly and slept until dawn.
Opening her eyes, she sat up.
Sunlight pours in through the cracks in the wooden planks of the cellar.
The place where the man sat yesterday was empty, and there was no trace of it.
The girl's heart was empty for no reason, she hurriedly got up, wanted to go out to have a look, but she didn't want to take a few steps, and heard the wooden plank at the mouth of the cellar creak and be moved. She was startled, like a frightened kitten, and retracted into the corner.
In her hand, clenching the dagger, she stared out with a pair of big eyes.
A figure came in through the cellar entrance.
The sun shone down at the mouth of the cellar, and she could see clearly that it was the man who had robbed her of her territory last night.
"Awake?"
The man saw her sitting there and said softly.
"Hmm!"
"I'm hungry, I just went get something to eat."
Su Dawei sat down and put a few oiled paper bags in his hand on the ground.
He opened the oiled paper bag, and there were two pieces of braised pork that had just come out of the pot and were still hot, as well as a few steamed cakes.
He reached out, picked up a piece of braised pork, and took a hard bite.
This is what he stole from a braised meat shop, and it was the first time he had stolen anything when he was so big.
The braised pork is not as delicious as that made by Liu Niangzi, but it is enough to fill the stomach. Last night, he continuously mobilized Yuan Qi, and then repaired his body, which was very depleted, and he needed to replenish his energy. Therefore, this is not a tasty braised pork, and the juice he eats splashes everywhere. While eating, he also motioned for the girl to come over and eat together, so that the girl slowly relaxed her vigilance.
She leaned over slowly, picked up a piece of steamed cake, and took a bite.
"Eat meat, don't just eat steamed cakes."
"Hmm."
The girl was a little bolder, she picked up the piece of braised pork in the oiled paper bag, took a hard bite, and suddenly smiled.
Her face was covered in mud and dirty.
But when she laughs, she looks good.
"Is it delicious?"
"Hmm!"
The girl ate very sweetly, and in the blink of an eye, half of the braised meat in her hand was wiped out.
Su Dawei had already finished eating the braised pork in his hand at this time, picked up two steamed cakes, and left one for the girl.
"What's your name? How to hide here? ”
"Don't teach Uncle Ye."
The girl's mouth was oily, and she said slurred.
"Uncle Ye?"
"No, it's Nie Su!"
The girl shook her head again and again, swallowed the braised meat in her mouth, and said, "It's Nie of Nie Xu, Su of Fusu." ”
"Good name."
Su Dawei thinks this name is very good, and he thinks that it should be good to come to this girl's tutor.
Ordinary people don't explain it that way. Nie Xu, with the meaning of whispering, Fusu, that is the crown prince of the first emperor.
Being able to say these two words shows that this girl's background is not bad.
I just don't know how it came to this point, could it be that I'm also getting into trouble?
If it was usual, Su Dawei wouldn't mind helping her. But now, he can't protect himself, and he is really powerless.
