At the beginning, I saved a little mute

Chapter 148: Save people?

Jiang Zao finished speaking and not only took them to the west of the city, but also bought some simple food, such as steamed buns, from other places.

In addition, she also saw tofu.

I didn’t expect tofu to be brought here.

Then I bought a plate of tofu.

There are too many things to carry.

I simply hired a cart. The old man pulling the cart who was dozing off on the street was very happy.

They happily loaded their things onto the cart.

He patted his chest and swore solemnly that he would ensure the safe delivery of the goods.

Jiang Zao gave him an extra ten cents and asked him to deliver the empty food box to the restaurant.

The three of them watched the old man leave.

Turn around and walk towards the city.

Qiongzhou was extremely prosperous, with people coming and going shoulder to shoulder.

Dongxue and Mo Bai protected Jiang Zao on the left and right.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at a secluded area.

"It seems very quiet here, and it smells weird, so nice."

Mo Bai frowned and looked at the signs on both sides.

She whispered, "Cuihong Tower, and Yihong Courtyard."

Jiang Zao froze in his tracks. Ouch, I almost led two children astray by accident. I actually ended up here.

She turned in another direction, "We're in the wrong place, hurry up."

Mo Bai was still asking, "Miss, where is this place?"

"Don't ask so many questions, just follow the lady." Dongxue pulled his arm, her face slightly red.

She understood more than Mo Bai, who only knew how to do research, and knew that she had come to a place where she shouldn't have been.

Mo Bai was confused. The three of them hurriedly headed in another direction.

Suddenly there was a loud noise.

There were not only footsteps in the alley, but also shouting and cursing.

"Where are you going, little bastard?"

"Here, here, I see..."

"Catch up with her."

Jiang Zao pulled Dongxue and walked quickly.

After turning an alley, I entered another alley.

There are so many alleys in this place that it is hard to tell east, west, south, and north.

And the sound gradually faded away and went in the opposite direction.

Jiang Zao stopped, and Dong Xue and Mo Bai also stopped.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

Jiang Zao took two steps back, and a pile of dry firewood was exposed.

There were also a few broken buckets and rotten dustpans.

It was an ordinary wall, but there was a trail of blood flowing from underneath.

The flow rate is very slow.

Dongxue immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss, be careful."

Mo Bai walked forward cautiously and pushed aside some firewood, revealing half a figure.

Her messy, bloody hair stuck to her forehead and was tied with a cloth strip, while the rest of her hair was scattered on her shoulders.

There was a bloody hole on the shoulder, and blood was gushing out.

It flowed down along the clothes and onto the ground.

So much so that you can't even tell the original color of the clothes.

"Miss, there is a dead person."

Mo Bai took a step back, revealing the person who had fallen into coma.

"Miss, let's go quickly. We don't know this man and he is dead. If the government comes to our door, we might be involved in a lawsuit." Dongxue said, pulling Jiang Zao's sleeve.

"Oh, how pitiful." Jiang Zao sighed, shook his head and walked away from the man.

Call her cold-blooded or ruthless.

This world is always difficult.

The sudden change.

Dongxue's body suddenly tilted and a dagger appeared on her neck.

She was so surprised that she cried out in surprise.

At the same time, Jiang Zao was pulled back by Mo Bai.

Stay away from the danger zone.

Mo Bai broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that since they had arrived in a provincial capital as big as Qiongzhou, there should be no danger in the city, so the three of them did not bring their swords with them.

His heart was beating like thunder, and he said sternly,

"Who are you? What do you want to do? Let Dongxue go."

The owner of the dagger had eyes as sharp as knives. Not only did he not let go, he moved the dagger again, and it was about to cut the skin.

Jiang Zao hurriedly said, "Brave man, don't get excited. Be careful of the sword."

“Aren’t you from Qiongzhou?”

The man spoke word by word with certainty.

Jiang Zao also had a cold sweat on his back and said calmly.

"My brave man, we are indeed not from Qiongzhou, and we have no grudge against you. We are just passing through here and will leave soon."

After hearing what Jiang Zao said, the man's eyes brightened up.

"If you help me save one person, I will let her go."

Jiang Zao smiled bitterly and said, "Brave man, you are so powerful, but you didn't save the person you wanted to save. How can we save them?"

Doesn't this make things difficult for her?

The man gasped and coughed heavily a few times. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and he didn't even bother to wipe it off.

But changed the tone.

"You, you are outsiders, only you can help me."

He spat out another mouthful of blood, which was terrifying to see, but the dagger in his hand was steady and did not move away from Dongxue's neck at all.

"My hometown is Qingshui Town, Yao County. There is a family in the east of the town with an old servant. As long as you give him my seal, you can get a large sum of wealth. This is the reward I can give you for helping to save people."

Jiang Zao pursed his lips and said nothing.

The man continued, "My request is very simple. There are two locust trees planted in a yard in the east of the city. The branches of the locust trees are visible from the street. There is a girl in the yard. She is my sister. I just hope you can help me take her away and give her a place to settle down. If possible, please change her name, let her forget the past, and live an ordinary life from now on. All the wealth will be yours."

He trembled as he untied a small purse from his waist.

"Otherwise, I will have to drag your maidservant to be buried with you."

He knew that he would definitely die today, but he wanted to fight for a chance to survive for his only sister no matter what.

He doesn't have time anymore.

Perhaps it was a great opportunity that God allowed him to meet Jiang Zao and the others at his last moment.

After saying this, he threw out the purse.

If Jiang hadn't picked it up earlier, he would have ignored Dongxue's life.

He would not really hurt Dongxue, he just felt regretful that he could not save his sister.

Mo Bai picked up the purse and took out a seal from it.

There are two small words on it - Cheng Hua.

Jiang Zao was silent for a moment.

Dongxue and Mo Bai didn't dare to make a sound.
