Chapter 316 Entering the Tiger's Lair
From Ling Yu's tone, he is full of confidence. Coupled with his experience of living in the mixed-fish and red Mir dungeon from the beginning of his memory, everyone feels that his idea is more and more reasonable.
Coincidentally, when the owner of the Sparrow Hotel looked through the check-in book in his hand, he found that there was a room that was often empty recently, and this room happened to be located at the end of the second corridor. There was a window under which was not close to the lively alley. If you are confused, use this window. It must be very convenient to transfer.
The room area is not large, with only one single bed, which just meets the needs of Snow Rabbit. The donkey-faced boss opened the door. Judging from the messy beds in the room, someone should have lived in this room before.
"Does the hotel room have to be cleaned every day?" Ling Yu asked after observing the situation in the room.
"You don't think we are just a small hotel, but as long as the guests don't have special requirements, we will clean it every day!" The donkey-faced boss answered him proudly.
Xia Qiu suddenly found something flashing in front of her eyes on the floor. She looked carefully and found that it was a small and delicate pin, so she said, "This is..."
"I recognize this clover-shaped pin. It's indeed a snow rabbit. This pin was made by Grandpa Yong by the craftsmen in the palace on Snow Rabbit's birthday. It should not be bought outside. In addition, it is not so easy to fall off. I guess she may have encountered some sudden situation. Ouyang Xiao Leng analyzed.
As a result, the hotel owner thought he had a big deal, so he was so scared that he almost spread it on the ground and shouted, "This is terrible. Is it really my guy's trouble?"
"Do you know where your buddy might go?" Qianqi asked the boss of the donkey face.
"Well... He usually lives in the store. As for where he will go except here, I really don't know." The donkey-faced boss replied tremblingly.
"Alas." Seeing that the hard-won clue was also broken, Qianqi sighed and said, "It seems that the man is probably a slave trader, and Snow Rabbit may have been taken out of the city by him."
"Lingyu, when you dealt with those slave traders before, have you ever heard where they usually trade?" Ouyang Xiao Leng still looked very calm and continued to analyze various possibilities.
"If you want to think about it, the first one is Miancheng, and then it's Dongyao and other places." Ling Yu answered and said, "But I have a hunch that they should not leave Yongchuan so soon!"
"You mean they are still around here?" Qianqi suddenly came to his senses again.
"Exact! We might as well look for clues in the city tonight. If there is nothing to gain, let's go to Miancheng and other places tomorrow morning!" Ling Yu proposed to everyone.
"It's okay!" Ouyang Xiao Leng agreed.
"But I have another idea. What do you think?" Ling Yu's eyes turned, and his heart had a plan.
"What?! Come and listen to it." Ouyang Xiao Leng turned to him and asked.
"I just said that they may not leave so soon, which is based on probability, because he, slave traders will never kidnap one or two girls every time they go to a place, so they are likely to still lurk somewhere in the city and continue to find the right target. If it's really what I thought, then Sister Xia and I can pretend to be girls walking alone on the street and lead the snake out of the hole, and the two of you are responsible for keeping an eye on us nearby and supporting us at any time. What do you think? After saying his own thoughts, Lingyu looked at the other people.
"Isn't it too dangerous to do this? In case they accidentally tie up Xia Qiu, won't it add insult to injury?!" Qianqi couldn't help but express his concern about the safety of Xiaqiu.
"I also think it's a little inappropriate..." Ouyang Xiao Leng was also a little shaken.
"I think this is a good idea, or just do what Ling Yu said." Xia Qiu agreed to Lingyu's idea without thinking about it. She felt that it would be very dangerous if the snow rabbit was really abduction by the slave traders. Moreover, it was likely that she was not the only girl who was arrested. At this time, any method was worth a try.
Ouyang Xiao Leng and Qian Qi knew that they could not twist Xia Qiu, so the four of them decided to divide into two groups and start to act. Ouyang Xiao Leng was responsible for protecting Xia Qiu, while Qian Qi was responsible for following Ling Yu. Ling Yu returned to Chenji Palace at a very fast speed and changed into women's clothing, and slightly powdered it, but immediately became a beautiful girl.
"Don't mention it, your style is really deceptive!" Qianqi looked at him from top to bottom and said that he couldn't help but remember that when he first met Lingyu in Chimir, they thought that the teenager was his daughter for a long time.
"It's hard to give up your natural beauty!" Lingyu closed his abdomen and straightened his chest, like a proud peacock responding to him, and his voice also became very thin.
"But because I already know that you are actually male, so..." Qianqi curled his lips and stopped talking.
"So what?!" Ling Yu asked at a glance.
"So it's a little disgusting!" After saying that, Qianqi spit out his tongue at him.
The two teams walked on the streets in Wangcheng in opposite directions. Although it was very late, Xia Qiu was not so scared because they were sure that Ouyang Xiao Leng was behind them. After leaving the shopping street, the further forward you go, the more desolate it will be. Except for the slender shadow under the street lamp, there is no one on the street.
Xia Qiu is very sympathetic to the experience of Snow Rabbit, but she also understands that sympathy alone is not enough to heal the scars in Snow Rabbit's heart. If she is Snow Rabbit, she probably doesn't want anyone to look at her with sympathy. At this time, what they can do for her may be to trust her as before, accompany her and give her strength.
Xia Qiu's memory of her mother is limited to the photos. Her smile is quiet and pale, fixed in those small images, as if she had taken away all her vitality. People don't specifically mention her about her mother. Maybe they are worried that she will feel sad about it, and she won't deliberately ask.
But deep in her heart, she still misses her. She couldn't imagine how terrible it would be if she knew that her mother had killed her father, but the snow rabbit, who was about her age, had to face such a problem.
Thinking like this, she looked more forward to the people who kidnapped the snow rabbit to appear soon. Unconsciously, the pace under her feet accelerated, and she wandered into a fork in the road. Ouyang Xiao Leng felt that she was lost in the blink of an eye. By the time he found the fork in the road, she had disappeared.
"Xiaqiu..." He shouted at her, but he didn't get any response.
Probably when she realized that she would walk into a strange fork in the road, Xia Qiu clearly knew that she was confused by something. The taste of the powder was very fragrant, like the fragrance of a flower, but the medicinal effect was so strong that she was unable to resist at all.
When she wakes up again, her first reaction is to find it difficult to breathe, and then it is a kind of sultry heat surrounded by. She soon found herself in a sack, stuffed with a rag in her mouth, and her hands and feet were tied tightly.
"Alas, although the hotel has not been burned, we have gained something!"
"This...is it a human, right?! It's the first time I've seen it..."
"In a word, rare things are more expensive, and I guess they can be sold at a good price!"
"Didn't you say... that before!"
"Haha, I know you can't forget it. Tell me, which one do you like?"
"It's the first time I've seen a human, otherwise..."
During the conversation between the two, Xia Qiu quietly called out the plum blade to break the rope tied to her wrist. Then he waited for the man to untie the sack and stabbed forward. The plum blade in her hand just stabbed the chest of the slave trader who had been wandering in the Sparrow Hotel as a clerk.
"Ah!"
After the hoarse cry, the slave trader who was stabbed by her fell down to her, and the sack she was wearing completely fell off at the same time. She just lightly dodged the breathless slave trader, while the other person waved the dagger in his hand and cut at her.
She raised her still tied feet, first kicked the other person's abdomen fiercely, and then lifted the rope on her feet. Then she jumped and put the knife horizontally against his neck.
"Woman, spare my life!" The soft slave trader loudly begged her for mercy.
"Gone you?!" Xia Qiu looked back at the sacks piled up behind him and said, "Let go of these people first!"
"Good!" Although the man was tall and strong, he was not very bold. He repeatedly untied all the stacked sacks and cut the ropes tied to the girls' hands and feet one after another.
Xia Qiu recognized the snow rabbit who was still in a coma at a glance and hurriedly called, "Snow Rabbit, can you hear me?"
"Sister Xia Qiu!" Snow Rabbit slowly opened his eyes and suddenly cried after seeing Xia Qiu.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Leng and the others will come soon." Xia Qiu stroked the snow rabbit's hair and comforted her.
The slave trader wanted to take the opportunity to escape. Unexpectedly, before he took two steps, he was held back by Xia Qiu's plum blade.
"Wat want to run?!" Xia Qiu scolded loudly.
"No, you must be careful, heroine! The knife doesn't have long eyes. We are just looking for money, and we have never killed ourselves!" The slave trader begged her.
Xia Qiu didn't pay attention to him, but looked around at the slave trader's nest. This should be a warehouse, with a lot of wooden boxes piled up next to it. The pile of straw behind it is probably the temporary bed of the slave trader, and the six girls who were previously put in the sack seemed to have not been dripping for a few days.
"Is there any water?" She asked the slave traders.
"Yes!" The slave trader nodded and answered.
"Feed them some water!" Xia Qiu pointed to the six girls on the ground and ordered him to say.
