Just when Jing Mo was doing this misguided work, a terrible conjecture suddenly came to mind. Could it be that this person has already realized that he is following behind, so he used a golden cicada to get out of the shell, and at this moment he has escaped from the back door of this house? But no matter what, this house is always a clue, and I can't let it go lightly.

Thinking of this, Jing Mo stretched out his hand and inadvertently pushed on the door. The clinker door didn't bolt, and with a "squeak", it opened a little. Jingmo paused for a moment, and there was still no sound inside.

Without doing anything, Jing Mo simply pushed the door open a little more, and looked inside, as if there was a person standing in the dark, staring straight at him. Jingmo's scalp exploded at once.

Not good!

Jing Mo almost subconsciously hurriedly retreated backwards. The man suddenly rushed out, holding something and smashing it straight at Jing Mo's head! Because of this narrowness, when Jingmo wanted to retreat, it was too late! Jing Mo felt that something was hitting the corner of his forehead heavily, bang! A sharp pain followed.

Jing Mo's body could no longer support it, and after a whirlwind, Jing Mo completely lost consciousness!

When Jing Mo's consciousness regained, he was already lying on a gentle, even somewhat familiar bed. The fire in the charcoal stove opposite the bed was blazing and the atmosphere was very warm. Jing Mo rubbed his eyes, looked around, and saw the warm sunlight, shining through behind the white window paper, because of the various window panes carved by the woodwork, the sunlight was sifted into piles of flower shadows.

It was already dawn. On the hanger at one end of the couch hung his dark cyan golden ratskin robe and his gray coat covered with mud. Jing Mo took a look at the surrounding layout before he recognized it. This was Nie Xiaoman's bedroom.

Jing Mo propped his hands and sat up from the bed, he still felt a faint pain on the top of his head, and he reached out to touch it, and it was wrapped in bandages. Finally, I slowly regained consciousness, and the experience of last night came back to my brain. Jing Mo began to recall the last scene, it seemed that he was a little dull because he drank more wine and his brain was a little dull, so he was hit on the forehead by the man, fainted to the ground, and finally lost consciousness. But when the man had knocked himself down, why didn't he simply kill himself? How could he still come to Nie Xiaoman's gluttonous cat restaurant?

At this time, he was the only one in the bedroom, so what about Nie Xiaoman? Will it be downstairs? Jing Mo hurriedly took his shorts from the chair at the end of the bed, hurriedly put them on, and then put on the black satin shoes. Jing Mo was about to go up to the hanger to get his robe, when he suddenly heard that Nie Xiaoman had already walked upstairs.

Xiao Man said: "Jingmo, you can lie down for a while." It's still early. Saying that, Jing Mo forced Jing Mo to lie down again, and sat on the edge of his couch again.

Xiaoman said again: "You shouldn't move now." Your injuries last night weren't serious, but they were actually dangerous. Fortunately, I arrived at that time not too early or too late. Otherwise, your life is really hard to say. ”

Jing Mo was surprised: "What? You also went to Morning Glory Alley last night? ”

Nie Xiaoman nodded. "Exactly. If I'm a few seconds late, you'll probably have to get another blow to the head, and your life will be in danger! ”

"So, did you send me here?"

"Of course. I saw that you fainted from the blow, and although there was blood on your forehead, your skull was not broken. I knew you weren't in danger, so I sent you back and bandaged you with all my first aid skills. Later, I heard you cry out a few times in pain, and then I snored like thunder and fell asleep. I'm relieved. ”

"But how did you get to Altair Alley? What are you going to do with the guy who hit me? Please be more specific. ”

Nie Xiaoman took a long breath and probed Jingmo's wound with his hand before he began to explain his experience last night.

"After I separated from you last night, I originally went straight back to the hungry cat. But I suddenly met Feng Zizhou halfway through. I got out of the car and talked to him for a few words, so I delayed for a while, and I didn't knock on the door twice because of this. Later, as soon as I came back, I heard Wei Pu's message telling me about you, and immediately rushed to the old merchant store. When I went to the account room and asked, I realized that you had just gone out with a thin man, and the difference between you and me was less than a pillar of incense. ”

"There were a few guests coming back from outside the hotel, so there were a few wagons. I asked the drivers for your news, and among them was the driver of a carriage, who said that he saw a man chasing a mule cart desperately in the wind and rain, and I thought it must be you. I jumped into his carriage and hurried after him. I looked along the road to see if there were any catchers patrolling the streets, and I met a catcher who told me that I had just seen a four-wheeled mule cart and a man in a lily suit running wildly behind the car, and went to Dashiba Street one after another. I followed his instructions, and listened again and again along the way, but could not ask anything more. ”

"Because there are so few pedestrians on that road that there is no way to inquire about it. My carriage continued to move forward, and when I arrived at the entrance of the North Patriarch's Nunnery, I felt that I didn't know which direction to go, and suddenly I saw an empty cart coming, it was a four-wheeled mule cart! I hurriedly asked the coachman where he was sending the passengers. It is said that when he stopped at the Baibu Pavilion, the man walked westward. So I hurriedly asked the coachman to rush to the Baibu Pavilion as fast as possible. I didn't know the exact location at the time, but I don't think it would be out of the area. I carefully observed on the Baibu Pavilion, and there was nothing unusual, and I turned back to the green lotus. When my carriage passed by the mouth of Morning Glory Alley, I suddenly saw a figure in a cloak tiptoeing under the lights in the distance in the alley, and that strange posture made me immediately sure that it was you, so I immediately stopped and jumped down. ”

Unexpectedly, his tiptoeing action was also meritorious, Jing Mo interjected happily: "Hahaha, the way you look at me must be funny, if you usually think you will be caught as a thief." ”

Nie Xiaoman nodded, smiled faintly, and continued to explain.

"It was then that I suddenly saw you exit from the door of a house, and a man from inside followed you, striking you with a stick in his hand. When I saw this, I felt extremely dangerous, but I was still far away from you, and I had just jumped out of the car, and it was completely too late to rush to stop it. I didn't think much of it, drew my short sword, and threw it at the man who had beaten you with a stick. It's a pity that I'm not a martial arts master, so I can't hurt people with flying knives. But the man was in a hurry, and the sword was also stuck in the wooden door, which startled him a lot. ”

"The thief immediately retreated, and you fell to the ground. When I got to the door of the house, it was shut. Because I'm in a hurry to save you, of course I can't chase that murderer anymore. When I had carried you back to the carriage I had hired, I went to look for the murderer, but I saw that the door was locked, and sure enough, the murderer had fled. ”

Jing Mo listened to it all the time, as if he was also chasing the murderer with Xiao Man, and couldn't help but be disappointed: "So, you didn't catch the murderer?" ”
