Chapter 23 Scary to Death
Author: plastic kite
"Be careful when meeting seniors. Baixiao may have a temper because of the failure of the mission. It's hard to say the details. We'll see what happens."
Out of caution, Little A specifically let Chen Tong use the Yirongxiang that he bought at a workers' home. It is always right to be cautious, after all, not all systems are as cute as it.
Chen Tong declined Feiyun's request to accompany him, but the other party regarded Song's father as his first priority and had no other choice. Chen Tong could only arrange for her to watch from a hundred meters away.
It was approaching noon, the sun was high in the sky, and the sunlight was shining so brightly that people couldn't take their eyes away. Hungry pedestrians were whispering, talking about which resting place under Qinghe's jurisdiction had cheap and delicious food.
"Did you know that people here only eat two meals a day, because very few people can afford three meals. Most people, let alone going out to restaurants, even have to think twice about eating a pancake. They don't
Most of the food to satisfy the hunger is steamed brown rice cakes, sunflower, leek, and green onions. Meat is also available, but it is rare except during festivals. This is very similar to the ancient times of our time and space, maybe it is a replica."
Chen Tong walked under the shade of the trees and walked all the way to the bridge. At the end, he did not forget to educate Little A on the information he had seen through nearly a month of life. History was also something she liked before, but she still studied it because of the need to make a living.
Something else.
Although what I learned cannot be used due to various reasons, my work basically has nothing to do with it.
Chen Tong felt a little melancholy when he thought of this. If he had been stubborn, he might not have to lament here.
Little A is not very interested in these things. He is very enterprising and pays attention to the passing carriages all the way. "Hey, stop, there will be no more willow trees if you go further."
The Blacksmith Bridge lived up to its name. There were many strong blacksmiths around. Chen Tong's dainty figure was far less eye-catching than he had imagined. Little A rubbed his chin and examined it for a moment, and had to admit that his original judgment was wrong.
Although there is a lot of traffic and it is not suitable for taking action, looking at it from the side, it is quite suitable for escaping. With her small body, no one can catch her if she jumps into the crowd.
"I don't know when they will come."
"It's still early at three quarters to noon." Little A yawned. The sun in this late spring was outrageous, and there were people wearing single clothes all around.
As the only road connecting Qinghe and Letuo, there is an endless stream of horse hooves, including many maroon horses, but no one stops in the willow shade.
"Why aren't you here yet?" Little A craned his neck to look over the bridge. Chen Tong also looked across the way, but apart from a row of shops on the other side, there was no sign of anyone coming in the alleyway around the corner.
As time went by, she was no longer as nervous as before, and even felt a little sleepy. She had to go for a walk, or find a place to lie down for a while, so as not to let down her guard and be talked to.
"I'm going to sit at the outside of the teahouse next door for a while. Remember to keep a lookout." Chen Tong told Little A with a haha, and the other party took over the task very efficiently.
Little A, on the other hand, is obsessed with thinking about how System Baixiao came here. 446 doesn’t even have a body, is it possible that this time and space will become a supernatural version?
Chen Tong walked to the teahouse and sat down. Suddenly she heard someone scolding someone around her. Out of curiosity, she walked over and saw that the quarrel was actually an elderly couple.
The old woman with her arms akimbo was attacking the bent old man.
"Can I come here casually? Ah Yue is ill. How dare you let her sell embroidery alone?"
The old man rubbed his hands in frustration, "But there are many wealthy passers-by here, and business is easy..."
"Money, money, money, you know money! A bunch of hot-tempered young men can't control their lust. Why do you let a pregnant woman come out to get involved? It's a credit to me that I called you in time. If something happens, you and I won't care."
Live!"
Chen Tong put his ears up behind the old woman's back.
"When the prodigal died, he said he wanted to find someone to bring bad luck here. You're going to kill me today. You didn't even bother to choose a good time to let your daughter-in-law come out. It's noon and it's the next day. If you do it again..."
Before she finished speaking, a pair of hands patted her shoulder. The old woman was already very suspicious, but this pat frightened her soul out of her. She staggered two steps and almost jumped on the old man.
Originally, the old man was not afraid of Chen Tong, but he kept bending down while listening to the instruction. He was so frightened by his mother-in-law's embrace that he screamed, and with a sigh of relief, he passed away with a cry.
Chen Tong, who thought she was in trouble, hurriedly pulled the man away from the old man, pinched his middle and pinched acupuncture points. She also wanted to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but the old woman kept holding on to her arm for fear that she would run away.
"No, ma'am, can you let me go?"
The aunt ignored her and kept tugging on her arm. The wrinkled clothes showed her strength, "My poor old man——"
There were more and more onlookers, and she was surrounded by people on three floors inside and outside. People were pointing fingers at her, and all kinds of malicious intentions were rampant. Chen Tong couldn't stop her.
"No, I just want to ask-"
The people around her didn't listen to her dry explanation at all, and the girl's defense seemed so pale amidst the continuous scorn. Chen Tong gave up the struggle and tried to call Little A, but it seemed to be disconnected and there was no response at all.
"It's her, she's her! My lord, she's the one who scares people to death!" The horse's hooves gradually approached, and the heavily armored soldiers broke away from the encirclement and walked in. The blade turned, and the shiny silver-white blade directly reflected Song Zhixi's unfazed face.
.
"Wow! Sir, you have to make the decision for the common people!"
Chen Tong:……
After the foot shackles were put on and the pot handle was attached, Chen Tong was held up by her arms and straightened. A sheath was struck at the crook of her legs to make her kneel down, and another hand pulled her hair to force her to raise her head.
This time she saw it.
Facing her under the shade of a tree stood a young man who looked like an officer. He was wearing a maroon horse and armor. He was holding a long halberd. He didn't look at Chen Tong, but made an arc impatiently, "Take it away."
take away."
The soldiers received the order and roughly pulled Chen Tong up and pushed her to cross the bridge. At the highest point of the Blacksmith Bridge, Chen Tong finally saw the other side of the zigzag curve——
It was a place of trading that turned a large profit into a place of execution.
She turned around in horror, and saw that the officer was facing away from her, as if he was waiting for someone at the bridge entrance.
At the entrance of the vegetable market, Qiu Hou Dao, three quarters to noon!
It’s unmistakable, he is Baixiao!
Chen Tong's eyes widened. The other party wanted to kill her? What did it know and why did it want to kill her?
They're obviously just colleagues here to hand over, aren't they?
And Bai Xiao, who had been spending quiet time under the tree, naturally didn't know the storm in Chen Tong's heart. He was just wondering, half way through the third quarter and the hour was approaching, why didn't the new couple come?
Didn't find the place?
Or are you playing with it?
"I told you earlier that this new guy is a jinx. If you want to find him out, you should at least give him enough benefits and use things that should have been given to others as favors. Tsk, I feel so shabby."
"There's no need for you to talk too much like a loser."
Something must have happened to the new guy.
Thank you for generally not writing reviews and recommending votes for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you for supporting me.
