Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.
Chapter 193: Why is there a bounty on my head again?
"Little sister Yang'er, will I ever hear you call me that again...?"
Shi Yao'er's memories came to an abrupt end. Tears streamed down her cheeks and onto the table. A muffled clap of thunder came from outside the window. When spring thunder roars, all things revive. Then, a torrential downpour began. The sound of raindrops hitting the ground was like sharp arrows piercing Shi Yao'er's heart.
Just as Shi Yao'er was feeling extremely sad, there was a gentle knock on the door, followed by a familiar female voice from outside: "Miss, I'm back."
Knowing it was Xiao Luo from the sound, Shi Yao'er wiped away her tears, got up to open the door, and let Xiao Luo in. After entering the room, Xiao Luo patted the rain off her clothes and hurriedly said, "Miss, I've already found someone. They're a sixth-tier elementalist, a stealth class. I've already spoken with the person in charge of recruiting competitive elementalists in the manor, and he'll arrange for our people to be included in Master's staff."
"Has the person with the red rope and bell been found yet?" Shi Yao'er's biggest concern was not whether the sixth-tier elementalists had been arranged, but whether the most crucial person had been found. Once found, as long as he was killed, the competition without an opponent would be canceled, and she could persevere for another year to gain the right to free marriage.
"Well... not yet... but I heard that the master hasn't found that person yet either, and he just lost his temper not long ago." Seemingly afraid of being scolded by Shi Yao'er, Xiao Luo quickly told her the news that Shi Jinpeng hadn't found the person.
“We can’t expect my father to not find that person. The Prefectural Commandant’s Office is like the sky in Qingfeng County. There’s no one the Prefectural Commandant’s Office can’t find. It’s just a matter of time.” Shi Yao’er had completely calmed down by now. Her only option was to find that person before her father and either kill him or make him leave Qingfeng County and never appear again. There was no other way.
"Xiao Luo, listen to me." Shi Yao'er quickly came up with a plan: "Father has now confined me to my quarters, so I can't go out. I'll write you a letter. Take the letter to the green maple tree and find a man named Tang Sanshi. Give him the letter and tell him that I need his help right now, and he will definitely help me."
"Yes, miss, I'll take the letter now."
"It's too late now. The guards will be outside my room soon. I'll give you the letter when they bring dinner tonight."
Xiao Luo accepted the order and left. Shi Yao'er immediately sat down at her desk, picked up her pen, and wrote a letter. After finishing, she quickly folded it in half, put it in an envelope, and then looked at the envelope in her hand, murmuring, "Brother Sanshi, Yang'er can only rely on you now..."
That evening, Xiao Luo took advantage of the opportunity to deliver dinner to obtain Shi Yao'er's handwritten letter, put the letter inside, and successfully took it out of Shi Yao'er's room.
The next morning, Xiao Luo followed Shi Yao'er's instructions and took advantage of a break while running errands to go to the square under the green maple tree. But with so many people around, where could she find Tang Sanshi, whom she didn't even know? So she could only rely on her observation skills to judge. First of all, hurried pedestrians were definitely not suitable. In addition, according to what the young lady said, the person should be standing or sitting on the stone bench, which should be near the green maple tree.
So Xiao Luo walked a little further in and came to the inner part of the square. There were stone benches around the maple trees, and many people were either sitting on the stone benches or standing under the maple trees to look around. There were quite a few people. How long would it take to find them? But in order to complete Shi Yao'er's task, Xiao Luo mustered up her courage and asked them one by one.
"Hello, are you Tang Sanshi?"
"No, no, you've got the wrong person."
"I'm sorry."
"Hello, are you Tang Sanshi?"
...
This went on and on until Xiao Luo's throat was hoarse from asking so many questions, but she still couldn't find the person named Tang Sanshi. She had no choice but to give up for the time being, go back to do the things that had been assigned to her at home, and see if she could come out again in the afternoon to continue the search.
In the afternoon, Shi Yao'er gave Xiao Luo an excuse to go to the food delivery service to buy her some snacks. This allowed Xiao Luo to leave the county magistrate's mansion. Once outside the mansion, she went straight to the maple tree and, using the same method as in the morning, asked around one by one. Finally, she found Tang Sanshi!
Tang Tianlei looked at the woman in front of him. After learning that he was Tang Sanshi, she excitedly took out a letter, stuffed it into his hand, and hurriedly left. This puzzled him. He opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, and read it carefully. Only then did he realize what his sister Yang'er had gone through.
"Forced marriage? How could that be..." Shi Yao'er still didn't reveal her true identity as the daughter of the Prefectural Commandant in the letter. She worried that her brother San Shi would choose to confront the Prefectural Commandant's mansion head-on for her sake, which would be tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock, and even risk his life. Similarly, she didn't reveal that the person she was forcing into marriage was the Tang family, a powerful clan in Qingfeng County. According to her father, the Tang family was very powerful and not someone that ordinary people could offend.
Therefore, Tang Tianlei only knew that his younger sister Yang'er had recently been confined to her home and would soon be married to a wealthy family in Qingfeng County. This sudden change left Tang Tianlei at a loss, not knowing what to do, and he walked home in a daze.
Su Yang and Lin Anlan had already checked into an inn and were now leisurely enjoying the local customs and culture of Qingfeng County. Whether it was the main street or the alley, Su Yang felt a sense of familiarity.
"An Lan, do you think all the cities in your Tianyun Empire have this kind of layout and style?"
"That's not necessarily true. It's just that it's mostly like that. In some cities where there are more demons, the style is completely different." Lin Anlan thought for a moment and then said, "Although demons and humans coexist peacefully within the empire, the preferences of demons are completely different from those of humans. In those cities where there are more demons, the streets, houses, food, and customs are more demon-oriented."
"Oh, I see. But overall, there are more cities with this human-style design, right?"
"That is it."
"Huh? What are those soldiers doing?" Su Yang asked, pointing to a group of soldiers not far away.
Lin Anlan looked in the direction Su Yang pointed and saw a group of soldiers posting something on a wooden sign on the street. After they finished posting it, two soldiers were left to stand guard. After the soldiers left, the area was immediately surrounded by people.
"Oh, I guess they're posting some new government decree, or maybe another big case has happened and they're posting wanted posters or reward notices," Lin Anlan said dismissively.
But Su Yang had a bad feeling about these words, so he suggested, "Let's go take a look too."
The two quickly arrived at the place where the notice had just been posted. After squeezing through the crowd with great difficulty, they could barely see some details through the gaps between three or four rows of people. Su Yang squinted and saw that it was a large portrait with the words "Whoever finds this person will be rewarded with twenty gold coins" at the bottom.
Su Yang was wondering what kind of person was so valuable, earning twenty gold coins just for finding him, when he finally saw the person in the portrait and was shocked: "Isn't that me?! Why am I wanted again?!"
