After the Legend Chapter 36: Drowsy

Thirty-six, sleepy

Ming Na knew that she was in trouble, so she didn't dare to make a sound, but when she heard the footsteps of the soldiers getting closer, she couldn't help but feel anxious. There is nothing hidden here. Although the alley is not a dead end, it is long and deep, and there is no exit except the end. What should I do? Grandpa runs so fast, can he make it to the end of the alley before those people arrive?

Suddenly, a flower flashed in front of her eyes. She had been held back by her grandfather, jumped up into the air, and turned into the surrounding wall. They are also lucky. On the other side of the wall is a shop run by Nuojia people. The layout is similar to that of a branch. It is also in the backyard of the front shop. All gathered at the front door to watch the expulsion of their foreign counterparts, and they were not found.

For the sake of safety, Xiao Tianjian let go of his granddaughter as soon as he landed, and took out his sword to be on guard. Ming Na took the initiative to cover her mouth tightly with both hands, and stood motionless on the side to avoid making any more noise. Come. Her heart beat fast, and from time to time she recalled the **** head she saw just now, and her body trembled slightly.

The officers outside the fence couldn't find anyone, so they searched back and forth, and saw a few Nuojia people in the nearby shop poking their brains, including women and children. They thought it was their voices, so they didn't investigate. Back with the soldiers.

Hearing the sound of their footsteps moving away, Ming Na calmed down a little, but seeing that her grandfather was still listening carefully to the movement outside, she continued to stand there.

It seems that the **** scene just now played a role. The businessmen from all over the world who had been arguing all shut up and stopped fighting with those Nuojia soldiers. Just thinking of the lost property, they couldn't help but feel sad. A group of people waited and left the street under the **** of the soldiers, and there was a faint sound of choking in the team.

Minna listened to those people leaving. She wanted to urge her grandpa to go out, but all the people gathered at the front door came back, and some people entered the backyard. In broad daylight, once you climb over the wall, it is easy to be discovered by those people, and at this time, there are sounds of people and carriages walking outside, and it seems that many people are moving things. She had to stay with her grandfather. In order not to be noticed, she quietly moved to the corner and blocked her figure with a few rotten wooden boards.

They waited until it was dark, and the people in the shop closed the door when they saw that there was no business to do. Some of the shop assistants left to go home, and those who lived in the backyard began to cook. Xiao Tianjian took advantage of the unpreparedness, pulled his granddaughter to the wall again, pointed at her neck, Ming Na would reach out to hug him, in order to lighten his burden, he kicked up at the same time as he jumped. , although the effect is not big, but it also makes Xiao Tianjian more relaxed. They quickly climbed to the top of the wall, Xiao Tianjian smiled at his granddaughter with satisfaction, looked at no one outside the wall, and turned over.

The street is deserted. Most of the shops here are opened by foreign businessmen. Now there are only a few Nuojia people's shops left one after another. At a glance, there are no pedestrians on the street. The shops whose owners were driven away are all open, and scattered goods are scattered all over the place, as if they have just been looted.

While it was getting dark, Ming Na followed her grandfather along the alley to the back wall of the Xiao family branch, still using the old method to climb into the wall. The branch was empty and the front door was open, but no one outside could see the backyard, so their grandparents were safe. In the bright moonlight, Ming Na looked around and found that the wine jars and bags of goods that were originally stacked here were gone, and the wine jars placed in the house also disappeared, and the door panel of the warehouse fell to the ground. , the stable is empty, the courtyard is full of broken straw ropes and broken sacks, as well as fragments of tea sets and vases, several copper plates are scattered near the courtyard gate, a few feet away from them, there is another one silver.

Ming Na felt as if she was dreaming. The place she left only a few hours ago has become like this.

A woman's voice came from the front door. Ming Na heard something like a cook hired by the branch. Knowing that she was fine, she ran out happily, but was hugged by her grandfather, covering her mouth and retreating to the kitchen in a hut, closed the door. Ming Na looked at her grandfather in confusion, Xiao Tianjian winked, and she obediently calmed down.

It was indeed the chef Nuojia who came in. She brought six or seven strong men and three or four women and went into the backyard with a torch. It could be heard from the conversation that it was her family and relatives. The cook directly called a few people into the kitchen, while the others searched in various rooms. Soon, the people who came into the kitchen brought out a few bags of flour, two baskets of pasta, half a smoked pig, a ham, a cage of chickens, and a lot of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, etc. Xiaobao's clothes, shoes and socks are discussing with a smile which one can be worn by whom, and which one can be sold for money.

Xiao Tianjian has been watching, and his anger gradually rises. Just now, I was concerned about the large number of soldiers, and the people from the branch fell into the hands of the Nuojia people. He also had a little granddaughter by his side, so he didn't face those people directly. Otherwise, with his skills, what can those people do to him? But now these greedy and stupid guys are openly stealing his property in front of him, how can he bear it? He clenched his fists tightly and his veins were bulging. He just thought that it would be easy to kill these people, but in case someone else was disturbed, he could still find a way to escape in the city, but the little granddaughter had no such ability, so he had to swallow it.

And Ming Na couldn't understand seeing the excited look of the cook. Isn't this stealing? That old lady was obviously nice to her and spoke kindly, so why would she bring people to steal things when the shopkeepers were not around? !

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the child's clothes in one of the women's hands, and her eyes widened, it was hers! It's a shirt made by Winnie with flowers embroidered by mom! Hearing the woman laughing at others and saying that this dress could be changed to make a vest for her daughter, Ming Na blushed and wanted to rush out to grab the clothes back, but thinking of the trouble she had caused earlier, she felt I looked at my grandfather and saw that he had no intention of taking action, so I had to grit my teeth and endure it.

Seeing the group of people talking and laughing and returning home full of rewards, both grandparents and grandchildren are not happy. At this moment, another group of people came outside, but it was another local servant girl from the branch. She was a full-time cleaning worker. She brought a dozen or 20 young and strong men. They met at the door with the cook and her group. Eyes wide open.

Both sides knew each other's intentions, nodded to each other, and the cook took the people away. A middle-aged man who followed behind the maid said unwillingly, "Haven't we come in vain to let them take away so many things?"

"What are you afraid of?" The servant girl didn't care, "There are so many good things, they are all scumbags and don't know what to buy!"

She led the crowd into the backyard and instructed them to act separately. Minna hid in the hut, and saw through the crack of the door, they didn't let anything from needles, cutters, scissors, candlesticks, oil lamps, bowls, and tables, chairs, and cabinets. It was premeditated. The person who walked at the end also found copper plates and silver coins on the ground with sharp eyes, and secretly picked them up when no one was paying attention.

The backyard returned to calm and darkness, Xiao Tianjian and Ming Na quietly pushed open the door and walked out. I just discovered that the place where they were hiding was the firewood room. Ming Na looked at the empty yard and empty room, and looked back at her grandfather: "Why did the two aunties take things away? Isn't this stealing?"

Xiao Tianjian held back his anger and shook his head: "I don't know, what's wrong with this country?!" He hasn't been to the hinterland of Nuojia for more than ten years, and at most he only wanders around the border. It is a country with simple and straightforward people. The men are sturdy and the women are hearty. It is regarded as the descendant of the hero in the legend of "Blade of the Gods". In addition, the country is mountainous and windy, and it has the title of "Children of the Wind". Although the life is not rich, the folk customs have always been good. What happened in the past twenty years? The country has become almost unknown to him.

Minna looked sadly at how empty the room she had lived in for two days now looked. Her new shoes, new shawl and new felt hat were taken away. The magic book was thrown on the ground, the overturned ink bottle fell on top of it, the table was stained with ink, and a pen was broken in half.

She squatted down at the door and stared at the room, her mouth was flat, she just felt very uncomfortable.

Xiao Tianjian sighed and persuaded: "It's useless to look at it again. In the future, grandpa will buy you a new one. Now look carefully everywhere, maybe there are still useful things left. down."

Ming Na responded with a dull sound, got up and moved her footsteps, and went to the other room. Because she was afraid of being discovered, she could only use the lighting technique to emit small light spots to illuminate, and finally found an old quilt, a few thick curtains, and two complete bowls. There was also a pot of tea in the dining room. She was thirsty and took two sips before giving it to her grandfather.

She found Xiao Tianjian in the room where she was in charge. Seeing him knocking on the floor here and there, she asked, "Grandpa, what are you doing?"

"I'm looking for a secret room." Xiao Tianjian didn't look up, "As long as it's a shop of the Xiao family that was bought as a branch, there will definitely be a secret room in the manager's room, and maybe there is something in it." The double role of the shelter.

Soon he found it. There was a moving brick on the ground under the bed. When the brick was lifted, there was an iron chain inside. Pull the chain and the mechanism was activated. A very bulky old suitcase beside the bed was slow. Slowly slide away, revealing the hole below. Ming Na's eyes widened, she used an illumination technique, and she looked out, only to see a narrow stone staircase leading down, it was dark inside, and she couldn't see anything. She walked down the stone steps, and as the light spot on her hand gradually enlarged, she could see the situation in the cave.

This place is only about eight or nine square meters in size and two meters in height. It is made of stone and the ground is very clean. Next to the wall were two large wooden boxes, a stack of palm-sized black cloth bags, four rattan baskets with food and water bags, two thick quilts, and a large package. Ming Na opened one of the black cloth bags and found that it was full of gold coins, twenty in one bag, and there are at least one or two hundred bags here. She couldn't help but take a breath.

Xiao Tianjian had already jumped down. When he saw the situation, he knew that he had found the right place. He looked at the label on the rattan basket and found that the water was changed two days ago, which was a pity. According to the rules of the business, the water in the shelter is changed every three days. It is probably because of a sudden change today. The manager did not have time to change the new one. After smelling it, he could still eat it, so he handed a piece of bread to his granddaughter: "Are you hungry? ? There's something to eat here."

Ming Na took the bread and ate it, and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, what are we going to do now? Are we going to find a way to leave?"

"I'm going to inquire about the situation first and see what happened. Why did the palace suddenly issue an expulsion order and kill someone? The dead king was said to be a good man, and there is no reason to do this. I'm going to find out where the people from the branch will be driven to." After a pause, Xiao Tianjian sighed inwardly, the target he was following probably had to be given up, and now it's so chaotic outside, he'd better leave as soon as possible. .

Ming Na nodded silently, hurriedly stuffed the whole bread, took a sip of water, and grabbed the corner of his shirt: "I'm full, I can go."

Xiao Tianjian looked at her and smiled: "You stay here, it's safer here. Grandpa will come back after inquiring about the news."

Ming Na thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I don't want to stay..." Her voice trembled slightly

"Are you afraid?" Xiao Tianjian was a little surprised, "You have always been very courageous, and you have persevered in the face of monsters. You have lived in the forest for a few days, and you have never been afraid. You lived in it again, what are you afraid of? If you are afraid of being discovered, just sleep in the secret room, and I will turn off the machine from the outside." He glanced at the ventilation hole in the corner of the ceiling: "This is a place for people to live in, but it's darker. , are you not afraid of the dark?"

Ming Na blushed slowly, of course she is not afraid of the dark! As grandpa said, she lived alone in the forest for a few days and was never afraid, so why couldn't she stay? If he follows his grandfather, he has to take care of himself, which is really inconvenient. So, she agreed.

The door to the cave gradually closed, and the room was pitch black. Ming Na immediately cast a lighting spell. I don't know why, she always felt a little hairy in her heart, so she got up and spread out the quilts, one used as a mattress, the other covered her body, and went to look through the burden. Seeing that they were all adult men's and women's clothes in Nuojia style, they put them away again. . Looking at the two boxes, she crawled over and opened them. There were gems and gold ornaments inside, as well as a large box of pearl coral. She was dazzled and quickly closed the boxes. The light spot of illumination had disappeared.

She has already sent out a few illumination spells, and her magic power is a bit lacking. After thinking about it, she simply opened a box and used the faint light of those jewels to illuminate. Climbing back onto the bed, as soon as she closed her eyes, her mind was full of that rolling head, tossing and turning, and she couldn't fall asleep.

Finally fell asleep, but in a daze, I heard noises outside, I opened my eyes and saw that the officer who killed the person appeared in the secret room, holding a knife and forcing her to hand over the gold coins and Jewelry, she refused, so he slashed her neck with a knife.

She woke up in a cold sweat. A few wisps of white light penetrated through the vents~IndoMTL.com~ showed that it was the next morning. Xiao Tianjian still hasn't come back.

Wiping away the sweat, Ming Na panted and sat up. Knowing that she was having a nightmare just now, she cheered herself up. It was just a dream just now. With grandfather around, how could those bad guys chop off their heads?

Thinking of this makes her feel better. She is the granddaughter of an epic hero, how could she be frightened by such a dream? !

My stomach growled. She got out of the bed, pulled a basket and picked a piece of bread to eat. She felt that the taste had changed and she frowned. At this time, there was a sound from outside, and she was overjoyed, thinking that it must be grandpa coming back, she jumped up.

Although she said she was not afraid, she still felt very uncomfortable leaving her grandfather.

However, the sound from the ceiling showed that there was more than one person outside, and there seemed to be sounds of flipping things and yelling. Although I couldn't hear it clearly, Ming Na also knew that it was definitely not grandpa.

She was so nervous, she hurriedly pushed the blankets to the side, covered the jewelry box, and shrunk into the corner to stare at the cave door.

The hustle and bustle outside was still there, but the door to the underground cave had not been opened. She gradually breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that no one else would find out.

At this moment, the door to the underground cave quietly slid open, and there was cheers from outside, followed by a man's voice: "Sure enough, there is a secret room! There must be a lot of treasures hidden here!"

Minna's heart tightened. She would never forget this voice. Its owner was the officer who killed the man.

The next second, he appeared on the stone steps and spotted Ming Na almost immediately, with a playful smile: "Oh, there's actually a little mouse."
