In the early morning, it suddenly started raining and it continued without stopping. It rained heavily in Gusu City that day. The sound of the rain was excessive and noisy. The raindrops were as big as beans and fell.

Entering the city, the ground was splashed with water and the curtains on the eaves were constantly drenched.

The sky in the early morning was gray, the clouds were very low, the city was gray, and there were not even a few weeds on the roadside. There were fewer people on the road because the rain came so fast, and all the pedestrians took shelter.

There are only a few hawkers left along the street.

In a secluded inn, Gu Mancao was giving medicine to Meng Qingping. The good medicine was bitter, but this medicine was a bit too bitter. Meng Qingping's face seemed to be wrinkled, and he could not speak through gritted teeth.

Gu Mancao hurriedly put down the medicine bowl, took some sweet candy from the side and fed it to Meng Qingping, saying softly: "I know this medicine is bitter, but it won't work without taking the medicine. If it's bitter now, it'll be better soon. Just bear with it, and it'll be better soon."

Enough!"

"It's not bitter, it's not bitter. How can the medicine prepared by Miss Cao'er be bitter?"

With the sweet candy in his mouth, Meng Qingping smiled playfully again, which made Gu Mancao roll his eyes. If it weren't for the concern that Meng Qingping had suffered internal injuries, he might have just hit it with a few fists.

The ajar door suddenly opened, and Du Ruo walked in with a bamboo hat in his hand. The bamboo hat was still dripping with water drops, like a line on the floor, and the hair on the ears and temples was also slowly flowing with water.

stains.

Meng Qingping turned sideways and asked, "Boss Du, how are you? Have you found a good person?"

Du Ruo put the bamboo hat in the corner, walked over, opened his robe, sat on the stool, and said: "Last night's plan won't work. I just went out and saw many people from the Nangong family carrying Miss Gu, her daughter, and their children.

Your portrait was searched everywhere, we underestimated Song Jifan's power, we didn't expect that he could actually ask the Nangong family to take action."

Meng Qingping's face changed and he said: "What should we do? This Gusu City is the boundary of the Nangong family, and both black and white can take it. I'm afraid that even the city gates and docks have been guarded by this time."

"That's right," Du Ruo nodded and said, "In this Gusu city, the Nangong family has spoken. All the three religions and nine schools have taken action. Although the government has not sent out any action, the Nangong family has sent people to garrison the city gate pier. We want

It is simply impossible to leave Gusu City."

Gu Mancao's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but hold Meng Qingping's hand tightly. Her eyes were full of worry, but she didn't know what to say.

Meng Qingping slowly turned over from the bed and sat up, put his other hand on Gu Mancao's cold hand, nodded to her, gave her a look of affirmation, and then asked: "Well, Boss Du, do you have anything now?"

what's the plan?"

At this time, Meng Qingping could only put his hope in Du Ruo. Moreover, even he himself didn't know why, but he had inexplicable confidence in Du Ruo and believed that Du Ruo would have a solution.

Du Ruo's face was expressionless, and he couldn't tell what his state of mind was. He just said calmly: "The most important thing now is that we have to move to a relatively safe place. Brother Lu and Heitou have already returned to our previous inn to move things.

, you should clean up quickly now and come with me."

Because Meng Qingping was injured last night, Du Ruo and others found a nearby inn to stay after leaving the hospital. Early this morning, Lu Yang and Heitou went back to their previous inn to pick up things. At this time, it was almost time to

came back.

Meng Qingping didn't ask where he was going, he just nodded, responded, and asked Gu Mancao to help him get his clothes. They fled in a hurry last night and there was nothing to pack.

Soon, Du Ruo carried Meng Qingping downstairs, followed closely by Gu's mother and daughter. Gu's mother put on a bamboo hat and helped Du Ruo hold the Tang knife, while Gu Mancao held a big umbrella in her hand, carefully

Follow.

Went downstairs and arrived at the lobby.

The door of the inn was closed. Gu Mancao hurriedly ran over to open the door. Just when he passed the counter, he suddenly let out a scream, pointed to the inside of the counter, and stammered: "Then... there... there are people... they

…”

There were two people tied to the pillar with ropes, both in a coma. They were the innkeeper and the waiter.

Du Ruo walked over with Meng Qingping on his back, glanced at them, and said, "Just in case, I knocked them unconscious. Don't worry, I didn't kill them!"

Gu Mancao breathed a sigh of relief, then slowly opened the door, poked his head out and looked around. This street was relatively remote, and there weren't many people on weekdays. It was raining heavily today, and even some of the shops on both sides of the street were gone.

Open the door.

As we stepped on the ground and accumulated water, the sound of crackling raindrops came from the bamboo hat, which was a bit harsh in the quietness. The noodle shop next to us was still steaming, and the sound of blacksmithing came from the blacksmith shop at the corner of the street. The water was stuck to our footsteps, but we couldn't hear it.

sound.

Mother Gu and her daughter followed Du Ruo's footsteps closely, looking left and right, cautiously, for fear that a group of people would rush out of nowhere if they were not paying attention.

The rainwater on the oil-paper umbrella was like a waterfall, somewhat blocking the view. Du Ruo carried Meng Qingping on his back, lowered his head slightly, and said softly: "Mrs. Gu, Miss Gu, don't worry, I have just checked here.

Yes, the Nangong family has not been searched yet."

Both Gu and her daughter breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Mancao gently moved the umbrella towards Du Ruo and Meng Qingping. She was already mostly wet, but she didn't take it to heart. Du Ruo was carrying Meng Qingping on his back, so it was inconvenient to hold the umbrella.

, it is not convenient to wear a hat, and Meng Qingping’s arm is injured, so it is not convenient to hold an umbrella.

When we turned the corner, it was covered with rain and fog. There was a lot of water flowing down from the eaves on the gray-white walls, slowly flowing to the ground. At the corner was a teahouse by the road. On this rainy day, there were really not many people in the hall.

There was just one boss, one waiter, a few sets of tables and chairs, three or five tea patrons, and they only ordered a pot of tea and had to drink it one cup after another.

In the teahouse, the shopkeeper kept pounding the abacus, with some anxiety on his face, wondering if the accounts could not be reconciled. The waiter sat bored in the lobby and yawned.

Although all the guests were drinking tea, they did not have the style of tea tasting at all, and it was as noisy as a tavern.

Those tea patrons should be the gangsters on this street. There is no shortage of such people in every place. No matter when they are free or busy, there will always be a group of people except them. They always hang out in some places.

They are always in groups of three or five, talking about loyalty and loyalty, but they don’t even know what to eat next.

Some people suddenly walked through the street in the heavy rain, which naturally attracted the attention of the gangsters. They also saw a young woman under the umbrella, and they joked and said some vulgar words.

Du Ruo and others ignored him and left directly.

In addition to the sound of rain in the street, there is only the sound of wind,

Except for Du Ruo and the four of them, there was no one else.
