Li Changtian quickly swam towards the thief, the two entangled and fought in the river several times, and sank several times, causing the people on the bank to cry out in surprise.
The thief had a very bad mind, seeing that Li Changtian was entangled, he threw his purse away.
Li Changtian let out an 'hey', plunged into the water and retrieved his purse.
When he surfaced, the thief took the opportunity to swim far away, Li Changtian wiped the water off his face, and cursed: "TNND."
After scolding Li Changtian, he will continue to chase.
At this moment, someone suddenly grabbed Li Changtian's arm: "Okay, stop chasing him."
Li Changtian was taken aback, then turned his head and saw that it was Yan Shu.
He even jumped into the river.
"But..." Li Changtian was about to argue, when Yan Shu suddenly coughed several times, apparently choking on water when he swam over just now.
Li Changtian said in amazement: "You can't swim well? Then why did you jump off? Forget it, let's go ashore, anyway, I snatched the purse back."
The two returned to the shore wet and returned the purse to the girl.
The girl thanked her repeatedly.
"No thanks, no thanks, then let's take our leave first." Li Changtian waved his hands, and Yan Shu and he turned to leave.
Suddenly the girl chased after her, her voice was timid, and she asked Li Changtian with a shy expression: "Excuse me...my lord, what's your name, my lord?"
Yan Shu: "..."
"Me?" Li Changtian smiled, "Ahem, girl, listen up..."
He cleared his throat, and suddenly said seriously: "Human life is limited, but! Serving the people is infinite! I want to devote my limited life to serving the people infinitely! So! My name is! "
"Thunder! Feng!"
Yan Shu: "..."
Li Changtian spoke in a serious manner. Although the girl didn't understand much, she really felt her heart pounding. She took out the silk handkerchief she carried with her and handed it to Li Changtian carefully: "Mr. Lei, the little girl lives in Dongjiexiang. You...you If you don't mind, how about accepting this?"
Li Changtian was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "I'm a big man, why did I give my girl a handkerchief?"
Girl: "..."
"Thank you girl, I accepted it kindly, and I won't accept the handkerchief. See you later." Li Changtian cupped his fists to express his thanks, then smiled, put one hand on Yan Shu's shoulder, and led him away.
Both of them were drenched, walking on the road would inevitably attract people's attention, so Yan Shu decided to find a nearby inn to stay to avoid the cold.
While walking, Li Changtian suddenly asked, "Why do I feel that you are depressed?"
Yan Shu, who was expressionless all the time: "..."
Li Changtian said with a smile: "Could it be because it's me, not you, that girl wants to commit herself to?"
Yan Shu was startled, and asked, "You know?"
"Hahaha, I'm not a fool." Li Changtian said with a smile, "That girl is so obvious, how could she not know."
"Then why do you..."
"Look at what you said, you can't reject that girl clearly, how sad the girl is!"
Yan Shu was silent.
Seeing that he didn't like to talk about this, Li Changtian quickly changed the subject: "Hey, there is an inn up ahead, it looks pretty good, let's settle down there."
-
The two entered the inn, and after Yan Shu asked the shopkeeper for two upper rooms, they went back to their rooms to change their clothes.
Yan Shu took off his drenched clothes, and took out a clean undershirt from his luggage.
He had just put on his middle coat when he suddenly heard something knocking on the window.
Yan Shu tightened his belt, stood up and opened the window, a snow-white pigeon flew in and landed on the table.
As soon as Yan Shu untied the secret letter from the pigeon's leg, the pigeon flew out of the room. Yan Shu opened the secret letter, looked at it twice, and frowned slightly.
After thinking for a while, he changed his coat, took his sword, and walked out of the inn.
Following the instructions in the secret letter, Yan Shu wandered around the bustling town and walked into a small alley.
There are other people's houses on the left and right of the alley. In the house on the left, there are trees with luxuriant branches and leaves protruding from the yard, covering the alley in darkness.
Yan Shu looked around the alley, seeing that there was no one here, his brows frowned even tighter.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Young Master Yan, please stay."
Yan Shu froze and was about to turn his head when the person behind him said, "Mr. Yan, please don't turn back. I have a special status and cannot show my true face to others."
"You are the 'Shadow'?" Yan Shu held his breath, squeezed the sword in his hand, and asked.
"Yes, Mr. Qin and I are on the same boat, Mr. Yan can rest assured." The man said, "I know Mr. Yan is looking for Mr. Xu who delivered the relief money. I got the news that after Mr. Xu came to Baidi City, he finally appeared The place is Jinsefang."
"Jinsefang?" Yan Shu repeated.
"Yes, go to Jinsefang to find a woman named Shi Huanian." The person behind replied, "But Mr. Yan, please be careful, the Jackdaws have been looking for Mr. Xu."
Yan Shu's heart tightened, and he asked hastily, "Is there a Jackdaw in Baidi City?"
The man replied: "Yes, and..."
Suddenly, a shout came from outside the alley: "Candied haws are sold! Candied haws are sold!"
The voice of the person behind him stopped abruptly.
Yan Shu heard the sound of his clothes being swept away, and turned his head away quickly.
The alley was empty and there was no one at all.
Yan Shu walked out of the alley and quietly followed the old man who bought candied haws, but the man who sold candied haws was just an ordinary citizen who just passed by the alley by chance.
It seems that the 'Shadow' is really a frightened bird, and the slightest sign of trouble will turn everything into an enemy.
Yan Shu returned to the inn, only to find Li Changtian standing at the door of his room.
