Chapter 356 The Forgotten Hometown
After dark in Turtle City's Mumu Alley, every household has already gone to the door.
Mumu Alley is a relatively remote alley in Turtle City. There are not many people coming and going, but the news here is not blocked. What happens in the city can often spread quickly in Mumu Alley.
The chair in the Sheriff's Mansion has been replaced, and the people in Mumu Lane naturally know it.
Although Mumu Lane has not suffered any harassment, and there have been only one day in the past half month when a few black cavalry patrolled by, the dozen or so households in Mumu Lane still close their doors as soon as it gets dark.
After all, the murder that occurred nearly a year ago still has an impact on Mumu Lane.
Of course, the people in Mu Mu Lane knew Qin Xiao, and they didn't even have any dislike for this young man who lived alone. However, the murder that happened in Qin Xiao's house still made people in Mu Mu Xiang feel frightened when they thought about it.
The wolf cavalry even came to this alley that time, which became the rare liveliest event in Mumu Alley in many years.
However, the final result of the murder case was left unsolved. Why did those people die in the courtyard and who was the female ghost that appeared in the house? People in Mumu Lane can no longer find the answer. However, after that incident, people are familiar with
There is no more news about Qin Xiao. Sooner or later, Qin Xiao will no longer be seen walking on this street.
When Qin Xiao returned to Mumu Lane, it was already late at night.
The whole street was deathly silent.
Qin Xiao quietly walked back and forth in his former small courtyard twice, making sure that there was no one in the courtyard, and then turned inside.
The old black dog under the big tree in the yard has disappeared.
At first, the situation was urgent and I left in a hurry. I really couldn't take care of the old black dog. Looking back, it was hard to see the man and the dog.
Qin Xiao didn't know where it went. Maybe after he left, the old black dog had no intention of staying in the cold courtyard, so he went out and wandered alone in the alley, and even eventually collapsed in an alley.
There haven't been many changes in the house, except that the few simple furnitures have been covered with thick dust, showing that no one has been here for too long.
Qin Xiao didn't stay in the house for long.
He went out, climbed over the wall onto the street, and cast his gaze diagonally across the street at the oil shop.
Of course, when I revisit my old place, I don’t just want to see my own cabin. The most important thing is to come back and see the red leaves.
After leaving Turtle City, Qin Xiao always kept Hongye in his mind, but he was not sure that Hongye would still stay here.
If Hongye pretended to be the Mapo of the oil shop and was alone and secretly protecting himself, then when he left Kame City and Hongye lost the person to protect, there was no need to stay here.
He just hoped that his judgment was wrong and that Hongye was still in the oil shop.
Qin Xiao walked around to the back door of the oil shop very familiarly and looked at the window behind him. The room was deathly silent. Qin Xiao exerted some strength again. If Hongye was still here, he would respond quickly, but there was something in the room.
There was no movement.
Qin Xiao was a little disappointed.
It seems that just as I guessed, Hongye has left here.
He seemed to be unwilling to pat the back window again, and this time he finally heard a woman's voice coming from the house: "There is someone behind the house...!" The voice was slightly frightened.
The voice was that of a woman, but it was definitely not Hongye.
"Who the hell is behind?" a man's rough voice sounded.
Qin Xiao sighed inwardly, the owner of this place has changed, and Hongye has indeed left.
But he couldn't know for sure that the person in the room was Hongye
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The arrangement is to stay, or after Hongye leaves, a new owner will move in.
Qin Xiao turned to the back door and patted it again. After a while, he heard a creaking sound and the back door opened. A strong man held a kitchen knife in his hand. Without saying a word, he swung it and started to chop it. Qin Xiao's figure
In a flash, he entered the room and reached out to grab the man's wrist. Although the man was not weak in strength, compared to Qin Xiao, he was like an ant meeting an elephant, unable to move his arm.
Qin Xiao's mouth and nose were covered with a cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. The strong man felt as if his hands were bound by iron hoops, and he was horrified. Before he could ask for mercy, Qin Xiao had already whispered: "Don't be afraid, ask
You two questions, I’ll leave right away.”
The man seemed to sense that Qin Xiao meant no harm and nodded.
Qin Xiao let go, without hesitation, and asked neatly: "Where is the Mapo from the oil shop?"
"You... who are you?" The man was obviously still very afraid of Qin Xiao.
"That's your answer."
The man said: "She left a few months ago and sold the shop to me. I gave her a good price. She seemed to be going back to her hometown. She said that her time was running out and she wanted to be buried in her hometown."
"gone?"
"Yes," the man said, "Are you her grandson?"
"Grandson?"
"She said that she still has a grandson who is her only relative. She doesn't know where she is going, but she knows that she lives here and may come back to find her one day." The man said, "She told me before she left that if she
My grandson will come over one day, and let me tell you, don’t worry about her, she has gone back to her hometown, and you will be able to see her when you return home one day."
"Go home?" Qin Xiao was even more surprised and couldn't help asking: "Where is her hometown?"
"Are you her grandson?" The man asked doubtfully, "If you are her grandson, don't you know where her hometown is?"
Qin Xiao shook his head and said: "I'm not. Her descendant was my friend and he died. Before he died, he asked me to take care of Mapo, so I came here."
"That's it." The man suddenly realized: "She didn't say where she was going, she just said she was going back to her hometown. She also said that her descendants came to know where her hometown is. Even if she forgets, she will remember it one day." She couldn't help but say.
: "She is old and a little confused. If her descendants are alive, how can they forget where their hometown is. But you don't know where her hometown is, so I'm afraid you won't be able to find her."
"Did she say anything else?"
"No." The man said, "Ma Po doesn't like to talk. When she sold this oil shop to me, I set the price. I made a random price, and she agreed. She packed up and left in two days. When she left, there was only
An old black dog followed her. Hey, she is so old. If her hometown is too far away, I am worried that she will not return to her hometown before...!" He did not say the next words, but he was obviously very fond of Mapo.
pity.
Qin Xiao immediately understood that the old black dog in his courtyard did not wander around, nor did he die miserably. Instead, Mapo had been taking care of him and was finally taken away by Mapo.
He felt warm in his heart, knowing that Hongye took the trouble to take care of the old black dog, and it was only because of himself.
But what Hong Ye left behind really made Qin Xiao a little confused.
Hongye asked this man to pass the message, obviously to prevent Qin Xiao from coming back one day. Hongye had always been taciturn and never talked nonsense. When she left, she specifically asked the man to pass this message. There must be a deep meaning in it.
If you just leave a casual sentence, you won't say "grandson of the family"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"Maybe I have forgotten where my hometown is. There is obviously something fishy in this sentence.
But for a moment, he didn't understand the mystery of Hongye's words. He took a piece of broken silver from his arms and put it into the man's hand. The man was stunned. When he looked up, Qin Xiao had disappeared.
Qin Xiao did not delay in Mumu Alley. He left Mumu Alley and went to a dark alley. There was no one in the alley. Qin Xiao sat down against the wall.
The cold night was cold and the alley was dark, even a little eerie.
After a while, a figure appeared at the entrance of the alley and blew a whistle into the alley. Qin Xiao immediately stood up and walked towards him. He raised his hand and waved. The figure quickly entered the dark alley and approached Qin Xiao and said: "
I heard about it." It was Yuwen Chengchao.
"what's the situation?"
"After the attack on the Duwei Mansion, most of the people died in the battle, but Han Yunong did not die." Yuwen Chengchao said: "You are right, the place with the best information is Lefang. A few days ago, a man named Lu Siyuan
The official was having fun in Lefang, and there was a sweetheart of his, named Lu, who said everything to her in bed. I only gave the woman five taels of silver, but she said everything. Captain Han and the Sheriff of Zhenjun
They were all imprisoned in the prison of the Captain's Mansion. Lu Siyuan also showed off in front of his lover, saying that he had whipped both of them with his own hands. He said that these two people had stepped on his head before, and he had endured it for many years.
Finally I have a chance to vent my anger."
Qin Xiao sneered and said: "Lü Siyuan is an official of Guicheng Cao Cao. He is full of evil. It seems that he has taken refuge in rebellion."
"Many officials and aristocratic families in the city have taken refuge in Cai Anyi." Yuwen Chengchao looked coldly and said calmly: "They are all greedy for life and afraid of death."
Qin Xiao smiled faintly and said: "Between life and death, most people would rather live shamelessly. How many people are really standing?" After thinking for a while, he asked: "Eldest Young Master, where is that woman detained?
place?"
"That's not to say." Yu Wen Chengchao shook his head and said, "Just in case, I didn't keep asking. I just induced her to tell her a lot of things. Otherwise, if she noticed that I kept asking, she would probably be suspicious and turn around.
If you go too far and sell us, it will be even more troublesome."
Qin Xiao knew that Yuwen Chengchao was also an old man, so he was naturally good at doing this kind of thing and would not make a happy girl suspicious.
"The Duwei Mansion Prison is divided into three locations, A, B, and C, with different locations." Qin Xiao said: "Actually, the guards in Prison A have always been the weakest, but the other two locations are heavily guarded. It is not easy to enter the prison. If it is
If he is imprisoned in Jiazi prison, we still have a chance to sneak in and rescue him. I am very familiar with the place and know the loopholes. I can sneak in without the guards, but if Lieutenant Han is imprisoned in the other two places, it will not be so easy."
"There is a rebel garrison in the Duwei Mansion." Yuwen Cheng said: "More than 300 good dead wing cavalry participated in the capture of Turtle City. This team of soldiers and horses seems to be stationed here, and there are fifty or sixty people stationed among them.
In the Captain's Mansion, Lieutenant Han and the others are being imprisoned. The Death Wing Cavalry must be closely guarding them, and it will be very difficult to rescue them."
Qin Xiao nodded: "Being imprisoned in Jiazi Prison, the two of us can handle the matter. Otherwise, you and I are too weak to act rashly." After thinking for a moment, he suddenly smiled and said: "But one person fell.
You can help us."
"You mean...Lv Siyuan?" Yuwen Chengchao understood immediately.
