No taboos in the world

Chapter 417 Jingtian Rescue
Yuzhou, named after the Yu River, is located in Shu.

When entering Yuzhou City, Hong Chen saw many people carrying their families and belongings, queuing anxiously and waiting to leave the city.

He didn't need to say anything, as the answers to other people's questions had already been given.

It turned out that no one knew what had happened recently, and people kept disappearing in Yuzhou City. It was also heard that every time night fell, a mysterious poisonous person would suddenly appear with red eyes and bite anyone he saw, which was very scary.

Due to the frequent occurrence of strange things, the people in Yuzhou City were in panic. For the sake of their lives, everyone had no choice but to flee the city and hide for the time being.

After hearing the news, many people who were entering the city dispersed immediately, and most of those who had already entered the city regretted it very much and turned around to join the queue to leave the city.

Fortunately, the soldiers guarding the city gate did not stop people from entering and leaving, and no order to seal the city was issued.

After Hong Chen walked out of the bustling crowd, he saw that the city was a little desolate. No one was selling things on the streets. More than half of the shops on both sides of the street were closed. Although the remaining shops were open, they were unusually deserted.

After walking a few steps, an old man who was rushing to the city gate suddenly stopped when he passed by him, leaned down to look at him seriously and said, "Child, why are you alone?"

Hong Chen blinked and said, "I came here alone."

The old man frowned immediately, turned around and looked around vigilantly, and whispered: "You should leave the city quickly. There has been unrest in Yuzhou City recently, and more and more people have gone missing. You are a little kid in your teens, and you are so pretty. Don't let anyone catch you!"

"This..." Hong Chen looked up at the clear sky, "It shouldn't be so rampant in broad daylight, right?"

The old man rolled his eyes and said, "Those adults can disappear, what can a kid like you do..." Before he could finish his words, his children dragged him away, "Dad, let's go quickly, if it's too late and we can't leave the city, it will be troublesome... That kid, now is not the time for you to show off, if you don't want to get into trouble, leave quickly."

Looking at their hurriedly leaving backs, Hong Chen thought for a while, curled the corners of his mouth and continued walking towards the city.

After a while, the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet. Not only was there no human voice, but even the chirping of insects was absent.

Hong Chen paused, and the next moment, people suddenly rushed out from the intersection in front and behind him.

"Hey, what a handsome boy!"

"Looking at the clothes he's wearing, they shouldn't be cheap. I wonder whose doll it is?"

"No matter where he comes from, just catch him and report back."

"Can such a small doll do it?"

"What's wrong with that? If we can catch it, it's fine. If we can't catch it, it's absolutely not okay!"

After saying that, the five people quickly exchanged glances and surrounded Hong Chen.

Hong Chen was just thinking about whether to pretend to be caught or just kill them off. The next second, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side.

The other party slipped in through the gap between the captors, picked up Hong Chen and rushed out without stopping, then went into the alley again, and disappeared from the sight of the five people in the blink of an eye.

The five guys who were trying to catch people were stunned for a moment by the sudden noise, and then they started running after him, shouting and screaming.

on the tree.

Two figures, one big and one small, squatted among the dense branches and leaves. One big hand covered Hong Chen's mouth, and the other hand held him tightly in his arms, so that he could easily hear the other's nervous and rapid heartbeat.

After the five men ran past the tree one by one, he heard a long sigh again.

"Okay, now they're gone, let's run!"

Hong Chen turned around and immediately saw a familiar face.

The other party also saw his appearance at this time, and both of them were stunned.

Then, while looking at him, the other party raised his hand and touched his face, heaved a sigh of relief, and then said: "No wonder those people wanted to catch you, a child like you can definitely be sold for a good price! But, the clothes you are wearing look pretty good too?" He reached out and touched, rubbed, his eyes brighter: "What kind of material is this? It feels very special, it must be very valuable! At least it must be worth a dozen taels of silver, right?"

"Do you want it?" Hong Chen smiled. "Tsk! Who do you think I am? I, Jingtian, am not the kind of person who would repay a favor, not to mention that you are just a child. But if you insist on being grateful and repaying me for saving your life, I can understand."

Hong Chen smiled more happily and said, "Okay, find a safe place and I'll give you money."

Jingtian rolled his eyes at him: "I'm kidding, even if I want to make money, I won't make a kid's money." Then he jumped under the tree, turned around and raised his arms: "Just jump down, I'll catch you."

The next moment, Hong Chen's figure landed beside him as light as a feather.

Jingtian raised his arms to the sky, turned his head, and stared at him blankly with wide eyes.

Hong Chen brushed off the fallen leaves on his shoulders and said, "Lead the way?"

Along the way, Jingtian was quite quiet.

Yongan Dang.

As soon as Jingtian appeared, two figures, one fat and one thin, immediately surrounded him.

The fat one was Xu Maoshan. He said in a hurry, "Boss, where have you been? Miss Tang came to see you just now. She said that if she saw you, she would tear your mouth apart and then cut off your tongue to soak it in wine!"

The thin one was called He Biping. He followed up, "Yes! We were just trying to find a reason to run out and look for you. We wanted you to find a place to hide first."

Hearing this, Jingtian's face became even uglier.

He hurriedly made a teapot lid last night with words like "live a long life" engraved on it. He wanted to give it to Tang Xuejian this morning to make amends for his previous teasing and talking too much, but unexpectedly, at the gate of Tangjiabao, he was ridiculed by Xiaoyi, the maid who felt sorry for the young lady.

Not only did Jingtian lose face, he also felt like he had been played by Lu Dongbin, which made him even more unhappy. So he wandered aimlessly around the city, and then by coincidence he met Hong Chen who was about to be caught.

"Okay! She's been so wild that she's come to Yong'an Pawnshop. I want to see whether she cuts me or I cut her! Where is she now?"

He Biping immediately shut up when he saw this, while Maomao said honestly, "She's been gone for quite a while, probably went back to Tangjiabao."

Jingtian turned around and was about to go to Tangjiabao, but He Biping quickly stopped him: "Hey, hey, hey, Jingtian, that's Tangjiabao, are you trying to save your life?"

Jingtian shrank his neck, but the next second he shouted loudly: "What are you afraid of! Isn't it just Tangjiabao? I don't believe they can eat me?!"

He Biping saw his fear and forcing, so he turned his eyes and suddenly caught a glimpse of Hong Chen standing next to Jingtian.

He was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly asked: "Jingtian, who is he?"

Jingtian then remembered Hong Chen, so he immediately went down the stairs: "Oh, him, I just saw a few bad guys catching a child on the road, so I helped him out and saved him."

"Wow! Boss, you are so awesome. You are the legendary hero!" Maomao was very supportive.

He Biping looked skeptical: "Really?"

Jingtian said anxiously: "Of course! If you don't believe me, ask him yourself!" Then he turned around and said, "Tell me, was it me who saved you?"

Hong Chen smiled and nodded: "Yes."

“Did you hear that?!” Jingtian put his hands on his hips and raised his chin.

Maomao continued to praise, and He Biping no longer doubted.

Hong Chen said, "It's a bit rude to stand at the door, why don't we go in and talk?"

Jingtian nodded: "Okay, let's go!"
