Luo Yang pulled Little Eighth away and hurriedly returned to his nest.
He firmly closed the door to the courtyard.
The two of them panted heavily.
Luo Yang collapsed on the wooden plank under the shed.
Little Eighth leaned against the pillar and panted, his face flushed red.
Now that he thought about it, he still felt very scared!
He said, "Ge, fortunately … fortunately I was quick-witted and hugged his thigh, otherwise we … we would have been beaten to death."
Wasn't that right?
Luo Yang said, "You sure are smart for once."
"I'll be very smart later."
"Don't climb up just because you're given a pole."
"…"
Luo Yang rested for a while before sitting up from the wooden plank. He lifted his dirty and tattered sleeves and said, "How unlucky. He could even recognize me like this. That eyeball must be an owl's, right? So sneaky? "
Little Eight trembled as he asked: "Then what do we do now? Will they find this place? "
"Don't worry, they won't be able to find this place."
"Why?"
"Do you think it's that easy to find someone?"
"Oh, that's right."
Luo Yang rubbed his stomach, which was punched by Lord Hu, and frowned. "Luckily, I had an idea. Otherwise, we would be two corpses lying in Zhu Xincheng."
Little Eighth nodded vigorously and asked, "Is your stomach alright?"
"I won't die."
"Aiya!" Little Eight exclaimed, "Brother, where did you hide the dagger?"
"Oh right! A dagger! "Only then did Luo Yang react.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Little Eighth immediately curled up into a ball and slipped behind Luo Yang. He stared at the crack of the door with his round eyes and asked, "Don't … Don't tell me they found this place so quickly? What to do? Should we sneak out from the back door? "
Luo Yang smacked him hard on the forehead and said, "If those people could really find this place, why would they need to knock on the door? He smashed the door open and came in. "
Even a child would be able to push that small door over with a single push.
If Lord Hu's men really found this place, would they still need to knock on the door?
It was already good enough that he didn't use an axe to chop it.
"Oh, that's true! Then who could it be? "Little Eight scratched his head.
Luo Yang went to open the door.
He saw Ji Yunshu standing at the door.
"It's you?"
Luo Yang poked his head out and looked outside the door warily.
"Don't worry, they didn't come."
"Then what are you doing here?"
"I have something to ask you!"
"What's the matter?" Luo Yang's eyelids twitched when he recalled the crown pearl.
Ji Yunshu walked straight in.
"Hey, hey, hey. Who allowed you to trespass?" Luo Yang placed his hands on his hips.
Ji Yunshu didn't want to beat around the bush and waste her breath. She directly took out the crown pearl threaded with a red string and asked him, "I came to ask you about this crown pearl."
"Didn't I tell you? This is mine. "
"This isn't yours at all."
"It's mine. You were the one who ripped it off my neck. Have you forgotten about it so quickly? Hurry up and give it back to me. "Luo Yang reached out to snatch it back.
Ji Yunshu clasped her palms together and was one step ahead of him. Her thin brows furrowed slightly, her gaze sharp. "You still won't tell me the truth?" Luo Yang closed the door behind him. He looked at her and said, "Why are you so strange? Not only did you enter the city in the middle of the night, you even pretended to be mute! Today, in order to save you, I was caught and almost lost my life. Now, you still want to ask me this kind of strange question?
Strange words. "
She waved her hand impatiently.
She sat down on the wooden plank and shook her legs.
Little Ba stood to the side and watched without saying a word.
He didn't like hard things.
Shouldn't he eat soft things? Ji Yunshu took a deep breath and walked in front of him. Her fingertips tightly grasped the red string that hung the crown bead. Her tone softened as she said, "The owner of this crown bead is very important to me. I hope you can tell me where he is. I just want to find him.
Please tell me. "
Luo Yang saw her eyes redden. He had always been soft-hearted.
Moreover, he only ate soft things, not hard things.
He thought for a moment and waved his hands. "Fine, fine. I'll tell you. This pearl isn't mine. I picked it up."
Ji Yunshu asked, "Where did you pick it up?"
"It was left behind by a caravan. I thought it wasn't worth much, but it would be a pity to throw it away. So, I wore it around my neck."
"When did this happen? Where did the caravan go? "
Luo Yang thought for a moment and said, "Three years ago. I remember … the caravan seemed to be from Qujiang. They came here to do business, but they left after selling all their goods. That's all I know."
"Three years ago? Qujiang? "
"Yes, they were from Qujiang."
"Do you know the person who lost this crown pearl?"
"You can say that, but I only saw him once. In any case, he looked like that! Others called him Sha-tuo, but I haven't seen him since. "Luo Yang told her everything he knew.
He was in the business of reselling goods, so he knew most of the people in Zhu Xincheng.
But he wasn't familiar with them!
He just wanted to look familiar.
Ji Yunshu was silent for a long time as she pondered.
'Three years ago?
Qujiang?
Sha-tuo? '
She suddenly made a decision and grabbed Luo Yang's arm. "I want you to come with me to Qujiang to find that person."
'Ah?'
Luo Yang was stunned for a moment. He found it ridiculous and shook off her hand. He stood up and said, "Are you crazy? You want me to go with you to Qujiang? I think I'm crazy if I go with you! "
"You …" Ji Yunshu took out a dagger from her sleeve and handed it to him. "If you agree to come with me to Qujiang, I will return this dagger to you."
It was the dagger that Luo Yang stole from Lord Hu.
"Why do you have it?" He wanted to grab it from behind him.
"As long as you nod, I will give you the dagger. But if you don't agree, I will take this dagger to Lord Hu and tell him the address of this place." Ji Yunshu hid behind her back and pressed on with every step.
"You … You are really something!" Luo Yang's face turned green.
"So, you agree? Or not? "
Luo Yang was happy to have the dagger, but he felt awkward. "Even if I agree, it's useless."
"Grandaunt, don't you know that from Zhu Xincheng to Qujiang, we have to pass through the Nansai Desert? The storms in the Nansai Desert are much more poisonous than the ones in the Northern Sai Desert. People who don't travel in the desert all year round don't dare to cross it! I just want to.
I can't help you. "
From Zhu Xincheng to Qujiang, they had to pass through the Nansai Desert. Even the most powerful caravan would have to travel for one and a half months.
No matter how shrewd Luo Yang was, he couldn't resist the sandstorms.
If he agreed, it would be tantamount to throwing his life away.
He wouldn't do something that would make him lose money.
But …
Ji Yunshu thought of someone. "I know someone who can take us through the desert."
"Who?"
