This is what a fairy should be like
Chapter 18 It’s not safe outside the city!
Soon, the bachelor Tang Bin also came to Zhuang Lin and Fu Zeyang. He was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, and then he looked around.
"You guys have dealt with him, but where is that woman?"
Fu Zeyang tightened the bloody hatchet in his hand, moved his eyes away from the dead body on the ground, and responded to Tang Bin's question while looking around.
"We didn't deal with him. It was like this when Mr. Zi'an and I arrived. That woman... is gone!"
"Gone?"
Tang Bin looked confused and still didn't react, but when he saw that his two companions looked a little wrong, he felt a little uneasy.
Zhuang Lin had also come back to his senses, and even endured the resistance and discomfort in his heart, bent down to check the body up close, and used the afterglow of the sunset to observe the wound on the neck of the body as carefully as possible.
Zhuang Lin's throat moved. The wound was like a large piece of meat was lost, and the amount of bleeding was so large, but the ground was...
"Swish, swish..."
The sound of the grass made Zhuang Lin stand up immediately, but it was not dangerous, but the Li brothers rushed over.
Zhuang Lin didn't bother to explain more, and patted the shoulder of the eldest brother of the Li family.
"Quick, notify Mr. Mu and ask him to come quickly!"
"Oh!"
The eldest brother of the Li family immediately put his two fingers on his lips and blew a whistle at the earth slope where they just came.
When the whistle sounded, Zhuang Lin urged several people to go out.
When the five people walked to the three bodies on the road outside, Mr. Mu had already run over with a few packages. Seeing that everyone was standing there with their hands and feet intact, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Is anyone injured?"
Mr. Mu asked with concern, and seeing that he was fine, Zhuang Lin, Fu Zeyang and Tang Bin also breathed a sigh of relief.
"No one is injured, we should not stay here for long, let's go! Pick up the knife on the ground and take it with you!"
As Zhuang Lin spoke, he hooked a good wooden stick on the ground with his foot, and the whistle stick was picked up by him in his hand. Tang Bin and Fu Zeyang each picked up a knife.
For some reason, Zhuang Lin always felt that the surroundings became a little cold, which made him feel bad.
Very depressing! The insects and frogs around him have not appeared, and it is unusually quiet!
"Uh, Master Zhuang, where is the woman?" "Yes, we didn't see her when we arrived!"
"Did she run away by herself?"
"Don't say more, let's go first!" "Listen to Mr. Zi'an, let's go first!"
Zhuang Lin and Fu Zeyang spoke one after another, neither of them wanted to say more, but their faces were not very good. They were shocked and stopped talking. They followed and left quickly.
When passing by the corpse outside, Zhuang Lin was about to say something, but he saw that the Li brothers had pulled out the arrows stuck in the corpse, so he didn't say anything more.
When everyone walked out a few steps, they all felt more or less uncomfortable, which made them walk faster.
In the dim grass in the distance, a pair of pale yellow eyes stared at the six people walking away.
In the sight of these eyes, the two people with bows were the ones it feared the most.
As for the others, it more or less discovered them first, but the aura of the two people with bows was always vague, blending into the surrounding environment.
And there was a faint evil spirit on the two people, and a feeling that made it palpitate. They should be experienced and skilled mountain leaders.
One of these people is not easy to mess with, and two of them together will make even wild beasts retreat!
The most attractive one is naturally the elegant and handsome man. His aura seems to have a faint halo, with a tempting smell...
How many people can this one be worth?
As for the others, they are relatively ordinary.
In the dim light, the owner of the eyes licked his lips and stared at the six people leaving, or mainly at Zhuang Lin. It was cunning and cautious in the past, but now it was constantly playing a game between manic greed and timid rationality, and was hesitant in its heart.
But until they disappeared from its sight, it finally did not move.
After a while, the woman who had just disappeared reappeared, first sniffing hard in the direction where Zhuang Lin and others left, and then came to the three corpses on the road.
To be precise, only one of the three people is now a corpse, and the two who were pierced by arrows in the throat are not dead yet, but are in shock.
The woman's expression was stiff, and then she bent down.
In the process of bending down, her face was swept by the afterglow of the sunset and suddenly blurred. When she bent down to the neck of the person on the ground, it turned out to be a big macaque wearing several women's clothes...
-----------------
Zhuang Lin and others kept walking, and the most nervous ones recently were Zhuang Lin and Fu Zeyang.
The fast forward movement and the depressing atmosphere lasted for a long time, until the surroundings were unconsciously filled with insects and frogs, and the feeling in Zhuang Lin's heart gradually faded.
At this time, Zhuang Lin's steps became obviously lighter, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Zeyang kept looking around, especially behind him, but when he saw that Master Zhuang seemed to be relieved, the depression in his heart also eased.
"The city is ahead!"
Someone shouted this, and Zhuang Lin's relaxed mood immediately tightened. Several people looked forward, and indeed after passing a small earth slope, the ancient city was clearly visible.
Because the sun had passed the mountain behind, in addition to the afterglow of the sunset, the shadow of the mountain also completely enveloped the ancient city, making it darker there, as if it was going to enter the night ahead of time.
However, it was not difficult to see the name of the city clearly, it was indeed Wuling!
"There are still people coming in and out, and the city gate is not closed yet!" "What should we do, go and try?"
"What do you say, Mr. Zi'an?"
Fu Zeyang asked Zhuang Lin this, and the others would also look at Zhuang Lin when observing the direction of the city gate.
At this moment, everyone suddenly found that there was a change at the city gate.
"Not good, find a place to hide!"
In fact, without Zhuang Lin saying it, everyone had already realized that something was wrong, and then they all hid to one side.
Because they already had a tacit understanding just now, this time the action was faster, and the footsteps were also light, so they hid in the deep grass and trees on the side.
This was completely a subconscious reaction of everyone, and they all hid in a squatting or lying position after a while.
Not long after, a team of people who looked like servants appeared at the city gate, holding sticks and sharp weapons, and ran towards the way Zhuang Lin and others came.
"Hurry up!" "Just in front..."
"Follow us, don't fall behind--"
......
Footsteps and scolding words kept coming.
If they hadn't hidden, they would have been hit head on. Among the officers, there was a young man with a very bad face.
Zhuang Lin and others lay in the grass not far away, not daring to breathe...
Several people probably knew that the officers should have gone to the place they just came from, which made the situation more complicated.
Until the officers had gone far away, everyone did not come out immediately, but after a few discussions, they moved to a position outside so that they could see the direction of the city gate.
The city gate seemed to have returned to calm, and the changes just now did not hinder people from entering and leaving.
Zhuang Lin looked at the people around him and asked.
"Do you want to stay outside the city tonight?"
The other five people, including Mr. Mu, almost said in unison.
"No!"
There was nothing to say. Although they all knew that they had to take some risks, it was obvious that no one wanted to stay outside the city tonight.
"Or maybe we can pretend to be ordinary people and just walk over there?" "Yes, just like before in the valley, be more natural..."
"Yes, what do you think, Master?"
Zhuang Lin glanced at the people who were talking, his eyes thoughtful, and then looked at the city gate. Acting?
If we were to ask which people were the most relaxed and comfortable when entering and leaving the city gate, it seemed...
Got it!
Then, Zhuang Lin said a few words to the people around him, and the other people were not stupid people, and they understood it immediately.
Then the few people found an inconspicuous place and walked out quickly, patting the grass and wood chips, wiping the sweat and tidying up their clothes to make themselves look less embarrassed.
Zhuang Lin handed the whistle stick in his hand directly to Tang Bin, and the knives taken from the bandits were thrown into the grass.
Then the few people walked towards the city gate at a slightly faster pace, and deliberately leaned to one side.
The city wall here is not too high, but due to the psychological pressure, the few people are still a little nervous.
The other five people gradually slowed down their pace, while Zhuang Lin, who had already entered the state, continued to walk quickly and caught up with the two pedestrians in front.
The closer he got to Zhuang Lin, the more certain he was of his thoughts.
The main person among the two was dressed as a Confucian scholar. His clothes looked simple and elegant, but not only did he hang jade around his waist, but the belt hook was also made of white jade. The person next to him was obviously an attendant.
As soon as Zhuang Lin approached the two people, he immediately spoke out to remind them.
"Brother, please stay~~"
The person in front stopped immediately, and both of them looked behind them with doubts, only to see a person bending over behind them, as if picking up something on the ground.
When the person behind him stood up, he was a Confucian scholar with a clear face, and his hand seemed to have just picked up a gold ring.
Seeing that the person in front was attracted by him, Zhuang Lin stepped forward a few steps and handed over the gold ring in his hand.
"Just now, when you two passed by, I saw a flash of light on the ground. I walked closer and saw that it was this thing. I thought it was lost by you, so I reminded you and now it is returned to its original owner!"
Zhuang Lin's face was sincere. Whether the other party took it or not, he had already thought about how to deal with it.
The Confucian scholar in front of him did not have delicate features but his face was relatively fair. He was also outstanding in the crowd. At this moment, he was looking at Zhuang Lin with a little surprise.
This person's accent was rarely heard, but his words were tactful and clear, and he had a handsome appearance.
The person in front saw Zhuang Lin first and then saw the thing in his hand. The color seemed to be gold ornaments. He hurriedly waved his hand and was unwilling to take it.
"This thing is not lost by us..."
Zhuang Lin's face was suddenly enlightened, and then he smiled and bowed to the person in front of him.
"I have heard that Wuling is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. I saw a noble scholar in front of me when I first arrived today. I admire it!"
Zhuang Lin's courtesy made the person in front of him slightly stunned, and then he hurriedly returned the courtesy.
"I don't deserve it. How can I trade for something that is not mine? You are honest and kind. I admire you!"
This man said so, but he was secretly happy to be respected as a noble man.
Zhuang Lin took advantage of the situation and tried to get close to him. He chatted briefly and said a few good words about honesty.
This scholar's flattery is not comparable to that of ordinary people, let alone Zhuang Lin, who has experienced the influence of the information age.
Faced with a man whose manners and conversation were extraordinary, and who praised him repeatedly, the local Confucian scholar was delighted.
Zhuang Lin also learned some information in the simple conversation. After a while, he felt that the time was almost right, and bowed again with a smile on his face.
"I am Zhuang Lin, and I like to travel around and study. I am unfamiliar with this place for the first time. Today, I am very happy to meet a noble man. I wonder if I am qualified to invite you to drink with me?"
Tao Yuanming liked to drink so much in Yinxian Valley. Zhuang Lin thought that scholars of this era should not be opposed to this.
When the person opposite heard the words "noble man", the Confucian scholar's heart was about to float, and the smile on his face could not be hidden.
"How dare I refuse a gentleman's invitation? I am Yu Jingxuan. As a Wuling native, I should do my best to be a host, and invite you to go to Zuifeng Tower in the city to have a chat!"
Zhuang Lin smiled.
"In that case, I respectfully obey your order! By the way, I am alone outside, and I have invited a few people to accompany me. I did not let them come forward just now because I was afraid of disturbing you. Can you come with me this time?"
"Of course!"
The two talked very closely, and as for the gold ring that was used as a stepping stone before, no one mentioned it.
......
In the eyes of Mr. Mu and the other five people, they only saw Master Zhuang walking over there, then squatting down to pick up something, and then bowing.
Soon they looked like they were talking happily, and it was like a meeting of good friends, which made the five people marvel.
"Master Zhuang is really capable..." "Of course, otherwise why would he be the only one invited by the general director himself!"
"Hey, he called us!"
When the few people saw Zhuang Lin waving at them, they all cheered up, and then tried to look relaxed as much as possible.
When Yu Jingxuan saw the five people approaching, he was also slightly surprised in his heart, and subconsciously looked at the book boy beside him.
Yu Jingxuan thought that Zhuang Lin's followers should be similar to his own servants, but he didn't expect that there were five of them.
Two of them were wearing animal skins and holding bows and arrows, one was tall and carried a few hatchets, one held a whistle stick, and an old man looked quite dignified.
What he said just now was indeed true. He was really traveling with guards, and such a large number of guards were obviously not something that an ordinary family could have!
When the people came to him, Zhuang Lin came to them and whispered.
"Don't worry, you can enter the city, just follow me. By the way, remember not to call it a road permit in the future, they call it a 'pass'!"
Several people nodded slightly, and then Zhuang Lin walked to Yu Jingxuan with a smile on his face.
"Brother Yu, please!"
"Oh, please, Brother Zhuang!"
A group of eight people, led by the first two Confucian scholars, walked towards the city gate.
The six people who came out of the Hidden Immortal Valley subconsciously looked at the soldiers at the city gate. Those people yawned continuously, and then looked up at the city gate. The three big characters of Wuling County passed by their heads with their steps.
After a narrow escape, they finally entered the city!
Then, at the invitation of Yu Jingxuan, the group went straight to the famous restaurant in the city.
Along the way, the six people were like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden. Although they tried their best to restrain themselves, they couldn't help but look around curiously. This is a real ancient city of the Jin Dynasty!
It's a pity that it's already dusk, and the streets are no longer lively...
