sword sentient beings

Chapter 13
"Brother Zhao, wake up!"

Tang Zhao opened his eyes, saw Wei Changle and asked, "What's the matter? Are you there?"

Wei Changle is the young man he met in the temple, and up to now, there is no reason why they still don't know each other's names.

Wei Changle said helplessly: "Brother, you have a big heart, it's cold and hard, can you sleep on the road with an uncertain future?"

Tang Zhao rubbed his eyes and sat up, vaguely remembering that he fell asleep unknowingly on the car floor. As expected, the car floor was hard. When he woke up, not only was he still exhausted, but his back bones were still hurting. He said, "You don't know that I I haven't slept all night..." When he got up together, he found that the sky was gloomy, but there was already a faint light.

A group of people were still on their way, but at some point, the torches were all extinguished.In the dim light, only the outlines of people can be seen, and everyone is dark.

When I sat up, all the bones in my body hurt, and my head hurt the most, buzzing.

Feeling cold all over, Tang Zhao tightened the cloak covering his body.

cloak?

or red?
"No way……"

Wei Changle said in a strange tone: "This one was given to you by that adult. He said..."

Then I heard someone say: "I'm drenched and lying in the wind blowing all around, and I still dare to fall asleep. I can bury you somewhere."

It turned out that the red cloak was not far away. At this time, he was not wearing the red cloak, and he was dressed in black. He almost sank into the gloom of the sky, but his eyes were very bright when he turned his head.

Tang Zhao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly saluted, "Thank you for looking after me, sir."

He grabbed the cloak and wanted to return it to the man, but suddenly smelled a bloody smell, and remembered that the man had a head behind him, so there must be a lot of human blood on the cloak, his hand shook, and he almost dropped the cloak.

The man stretched out his hand on the horse, picked up the cloak, and said, "Looking at your frail appearance, you must have died a lot as usual?"

Tang Zhao replied blankly: "No, I was born...My lord, where are we going?"

The man was about to put on the cloak, but found that there was a lot of dirt on it, and threw it to the officials behind him in disgust. He only wore the black official uniform inside, and asked, "What do you think?"

Tang Zhao was taken aback, thinking how I would know, when he said this, he suddenly turned around and saw a golden rim had already appeared in the sky.

"Sunrise... the east is behind us, are we going back?"

The man praised: "Not bad. Although you are stunned, you are not stupid."

Tang Zhao hurriedly asked, "Do you want to go back to Xue's residence?"

Only once did the man not answer, and said: "Be honest." He rode forward.

Tang Zhao had no choice but to sit on the cart and looked around, but seeing layers of dark woods around him, he muttered, "We are still in the mountains, when will we be able to walk on flat roads?"

The mountain road is rugged, the donkey cart climbs slowly, and the bumps are severe.Later, he himself doubted how he was able to fall asleep just now.

"Are you going back to Xue's house?"

As he spoke, he suddenly heard a soft "click" under the wheel.

The team stopped.

There were people all around, and people in front of him, Tang Zhao couldn't see clearly, he didn't know where he was.

But the explosion just now made him feel a little bad.

That was the sound of something being crushed.

"What do you think? It sounds a bit like a chestnut shell." He quietly asked Wei Changle.

That being said, he wouldn't really think that it was a chestnut shell that was run over.Unless the chestnut grows as big as Cuju.

Wei Changle also whispered: "Listen to the sound, is it... bugs? The ones with shells?"

Tang Zhao felt a chill in his heart, and he heard someone in front of him coldly say: "Master Xing, you arrived unexpectedly at night, and you rampaged along the way, and we are also very embarrassed."

He heard the voice of the red cloak say: "Uninvited guest? Your owner invited me, didn't you tell me?"

The man said: "I have never heard of..."

The red cloak said: "Then you've heard it now, it's not too late. Don't you believe in this town?"

The person in front laughed dryly, and said: "Of course not, the prestige of the district inspector has been admired for a long time. But the owner of the villa is not here today..."

Mr. Xing smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I and your owner are good friends, I can be the master. Open the door—"

Following his command, the team moved forward again.The person in front was still talking indistinctly, and his tone didn't sound good, but the convoy was filled with voices of people, horses, and cars, which were so loud that it covered his voice.

The chariots and horses gradually drove into a high wall.Tang Zhao thought to himself, the height of this wall is not inferior to Xue's mansion, and it seems to be a big house.I don't know what's wrong with the rich. They all build houses in the mountains. It's dark, isn't it scary?

After entering the courtyard, the team gradually separated, and the large army continued to move forward. Only two gentlemen escorted their donkey cart into a small courtyard.There were a few men and women dressed in black in the courtyard, and one of them showed a waist card and said, "Guys, this place belongs to us. Let's go out and do some activities?"

All of them looked dissatisfied, but they still bowed their heads and left.The man said again: "There is hot soup, hot rice and hot water brought over."

Tang Zhao and Wei Changle got out of the car and were locked in a wing room.This room is not big, but it seems that people live there all the time. The furniture is complete, and the charcoal in the stove is heating up. Tang Zhao sat by the stove, took off his coat, and dried the cotton-padded clothes and himself separately.

The hot air entered the body, and Tang Zhaofang felt relieved, but the fatigue did not subside, and the hunger came up again. In short, it was uncomfortable in every way.

Wei Changle was also sitting. What was better than Tang Zhao was that he hadn't been drenched in water, so he wasn't so cold. He said, "Everything is dark here."

As he said, the furnishings in the room are all black, the cabinets are black, the curtains are black, the window paper is also black, and there is a black candle on the table.Being in it, it is inevitable to feel depressed.

Tang Zhao had never seen such a decoration style before, and said, "It's really strange. Wouldn't it be inconvenient to rely on color like this?"

Just as he was talking, someone handed food and a pot of hot water from outside.The food is only steamed buns, pickles and noodle soup, but the steamed buns are white and tender, steaming hot, and they look like fine grains, not to mention Wei Changle, even Tang Zhao swallowed and spit.

Although he was hungry, Tang Zhao washed his hands with water first, then put pickles on the steamed buns, and stuffed them in one bite.

happy!

After eating a big steamed bun in one go, Tang Zhao went to get the second one, and found that Wei Changle was carefully breaking off half of the steamed bun. He wondered, "What's wrong? Doesn't it taste good to dry one in one bite? "

Is there something hidden in the steamed bun?

There's a kind of espionage story about this.

Wei Changle was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Ah, I forgot. When I eat something good, I always want to divide it into several pieces." The hand holding the steamed bun paused in the air, and finally stuffed the whole bun into his mouth , chewing hard.

"I'll have it all to myself today."

Tang Zhao was silent, and after a while, he said: "I don't think this is very dangerous. Although the detention was not in a big prison, it was handcuffed and tortured. I think there is a turning point. If there is something hidden, after a while Guan will be able to reunite."

Wei Changle lowered his eyes and said: "Reunion... To put it mildly, they are suffering from hunger and cold with me. If they can find a place to live with food and clothing, what does it matter if they are not reunited? In fact, I have been thinking, it is really impossible to find a big family Let me sell myself. It is better to be servants of my brothers and sisters than to starve to death together. Just because this accident did not come in time, maybe they escaped unharmed. Now I can entrust them to kind people, in fact, I I'm relieved. It's just... I'm just sorry for him. It's not a relative, not a reason, who deserves to drag such a burden?"

Tang Zhao thought of the fat traffickers in the barren village, shook his head and said, "Selling yourself is no way out, you will only end up in the hands of animals. Do you know how to read?"

Wei Changle nodded.

Tang Zhao asked again: "Can you settle accounts?"

Wei Changle said: "A little bit."

Tang Zhao said: "That's fine, when I turn back, I will hire you as a buddy, and I will definitely give you a salary."

Wei Changle was pleasantly surprised: "Which young master are you? What is the business of Guibao?"

Tang Zhao said, "It hasn't been decided yet."

Wei Changle was stunned, and Tang Zhao said: "My business is still in the start-up stage, but in the future it must be a very large... group company! Monopoly and oligarchs, big trusts! The business is open all over the world, every city has a chain, and employees become employees. Tens of thousands, hundreds of millions of water. Control the lifeline of the economy, from people's livelihood to arms, clothing, food, housing and transportation, everything is covered, when there is a stone of gold in the world, I will earn it eight dollars."

Wei Changle had never eaten this kind of cake before, he was taken aback for a while, and said: "Yes...but..."

Tang Zhaodao: "Of course this is the long-term plan, the plan made by Mr. Chen... an elder like me. Of course he told me that he will be the president and I will be the CEO. Later he left and left the position of president to Me, now I'm a group boss."

Wei Changle stammered, "But...but...what's the use of that?"

Tang Zhaodao: "Of course it's useful...but it's useless now. After all, the group hasn't opened yet. I said these are long-term plans, and those who don't plan for eternity can't plan for a while. Ten thousand feet tall buildings are built on the ground. After this catastrophe is over, we will I will start a small business first to accumulate some capital, it should be catering."

Wei Changle let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Food... is it a restaurant? If you open a restaurant, I can run the hall for you. I can do both bookkeeping and running. But you have to have capital, right?"

Tang Zhaodao: "There is also money..."

I heard someone laughing "poof" outside the window.

Although it was just a chuckle, it could be heard that it was a woman's voice.

Old Tang Zhao blushed, and thought to himself: Strange, I'm not bragging, why blushing?
"Knocking".

The person outside the window snapped the window paper and said, "Come out, I'll take you somewhere."

Wei Changle's expression tightened, and he looked at Tang Zhao, who gave him a thumbs up to reassure him.

There is a woman outside the window, and the voice is very young.Tang Zhao thought to himself that his clothes were disheveled and he lost his manners. He was really in a mess now, even worse than Wei Changle.After all, Wei Changle didn't fall headlong into the mud.

There was still hot water in front of him, so Tang Zhao picked up the water, washed his face, and combed his hair with his hands.He lowered his head again, intending to use the water surface as a mirror to look at the instrument.

His face gradually leaned towards the water surface, getting closer and closer, and suddenly, his facial features froze.

After a while, as if someone had suddenly opened the prison, Tang Zhao jumped up like a spring, pushed the water basin out with one hand, and shouted: "There are... there are spiders!"
