She first asked Zhu Yan to take off his clothes and soak him in the water, and then threw the ragged sack into the water.
"Wash yourself clean first, and I'll get you some clothes later."
Standing on the shore, Lin Mengya said softly, looking at the shy lad, who only showed his small head.
"You … you'll come back, right?"
Seeing her turn her head, the lad suddenly said with some eagerness.
Seeming to understand what he really meant, Lin Mengya turned her head and smiled at Zhu Yan.
"Yes, I'll come back."
No matter here or in Dajin, she would come back victorious.
The layout of several famous houses was simple and clear.
In the yard, there was a yellow dog, a group of chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs, full of the most simple atmosphere of life.
"Excuse me, is there anyone at home?"
She randomly found the most spacious and clean yard, stood at the door and asked loudly.
"Who is it?"
A slightly old voice responded to her, and then a white-haired but energetic old woman came out of the house.
"Auntie, I'm just passing by. I want to ask you to buy some clean clothes."
At first, the old woman was a little wary of her, but after seeing that she was a thin and weak young man, she gradually let down her guard.
"Oh, you want to buy clothes? Then go to the city to buy them. We're in the countryside, where can we buy clothes? "
Lin Mengya also knew that she looked a little strange, but fortunately, she had already made up a story, so she said with a gloomy face.
"Well, my young master is too naughty. He came to Jincang City with my master to watch the fun, but met a group of robbers last night. I don't know how scary it was. Fortunately, they just robbed us, and didn't hurt our lives. We hid in the woods for a night, thinking that we could go to the city to find our master at dawn. Unexpectedly, my young master was stubborn, and insisted that his clothes were dirty, and asked me to get him new clothes. You tell me, where can I find new clothes for him in this barren mountain! "
She behaved appropriately, like a servant who was embarrassed by her master's unreasonable request.
The aunty seemed to have met her soulmate. She held her hand affectionately and stretched out her neck to look around.
"That's right. Last night, I had already fallen asleep. Who knew that it would be so lively outside? The sky was falling and the earth was collapsing. Today, before the sun even rose, my Da Zhuang was taken away by the city guards. It was said that those non-human things had entered the mountain. That's why we've called away all the hunters around here. "
Old women in the countryside were all like this. As long as it was something they were interested in, they would naturally talk endlessly.
After listening to her patiently, Lin Mengya also took out a small banknote that was deliberately crumpled up and exchanged it for some clean clothes and food.
She thanked him profusely and left the hunter's house, then returned to the riverside.
Zhu Yan was still soaking in the water, but there was an anxious look on his face.
"Make do and eat something first. We have to get into the city as soon as possible."
Frowning, Lin Mengya felt a little worried.
Although in terms of numbers, Nie Qing's group definitely had the advantage.
But in the situation where they were bare-handed, they might not be able to hold on for long.
She had to get some supplies and reinforcements as soon as possible, and she had to think of a way to eliminate the negative impact of this matter.
Zhu Yan knew the seriousness of the matter, so he had no time to complain.
After coming out of the water, Lin Mengya tore off a small strip of cloth and tied up the young man's hair.
After washing up, Zhu Yan was still that handsome young man.
Although this lad was used to living in the wild in the forest, he still had a proud nature.
Standing there, his eyes, attitude, and temperament were all like a rich young master.
But occasionally, his eyes would turn, exuding an untamable wildness, which was somewhat deterrent.
The two of them simply ate and drank something, changed their clothes, and began to walk in the direction of Golden Warehouse City according to their memories from last night.
On the way, she restored her original facial features.
Yesterday, she was too eye-catching. If that was the case, someone would definitely recognize her.
But it was not very convenient to use her original face. She had no choice but to let her hair down, lowered her head, and followed behind Zhu Yan.
The young man also deliberately walked in front of her, to shield her from those intentional or unintentional gazes.
Finally, before sunset, they arrived at the gate of Golden Warehouse City.
Although it was expected that Golden Warehouse City was under martial law, it also blocked their only way into the city.
On the bulletin board at the gate of the city, there was a high-definition uncensored portrait of her.
In fact, it did not look much like her, and even vaguely portrayed her as a strong man.
But they still had to be careful.
"How are we going to get in?"
The two of them hid not far away, looking around at those people.
Now, almost everyone who entered the city would be interrogated.
Yesterday, she had left on Little White and the baby tiger.
The person hiding behind the scenes was likely to guess that the man might be her disguise.
Moreover, the Golden Warehouse City was now under the control of the Rong Family and the Xu Family. If they had already colluded with the person behind the scenes to deal with the Gong Family, she was afraid that once she was recognized, she would fall into the hands of those people.
Therefore, she had to think of a foolproof plan.
"Let's wait and see if there is any suitable opportunity."
She pulled Zhu Yan and hid in the woods by the side of the road.
Seeing that it was getting dark and the city gate was about to be closed, Lin Mengya and Zhu Yan couldn't help but be a little more anxious.
If they couldn't get in, they were afraid that they would have to sleep in the wilderness.
Now, it was no longer safe anywhere.
The two of them endured, but in their hearts, they were thinking about how to get into the city.
The sky was getting dark, and the sun was about to put away its last ray of afterglow.
Lin Mengya and Zhu Yan also came out of the woods. Because there were not many pedestrians on the road, few people would notice them.
Anxiety appeared on the two men's faces.
Lin Mengya thought about it and felt that it was not a good idea to wait like this.
Perhaps the light was dim now, and those city guards might not be able to recognize her face.
It was a pity. If there were silver needles, she could have made other disguises.
After a slight sigh, she suddenly touched the banknotes that she had hidden well in her arms.
Originally, she didn't want to touch these things.
But … for a moment, she had no other good ideas.
"Zhu Yan, later we will …"
There was still an hour before the city gate closed. Suddenly, a young boy with delicate features walked over from the city gate.
However, he was wearing coarse clothes that did not fit him at all. They were old clothes made of coarse cloth.
The city guards didn't think too much about it. They thought that he was a child from some family who came out to play. They wanted to pull him over and let the people behind him take a closer look.
But suddenly, the young boy's arm was grabbed by a person who rushed over.
"Brother, I'm still a little worried."
The person's voice was weak and hoarse, and it seemed to be a woman.
After glancing at the city guards, the young boy was pulled aside by the woman.
"Are we really safe like this?"
The woman's voice was not loud, but it was still "accidentally" heard by one of the city guards.
He immediately frowned. Could it be that these two guys were the ones he was looking for?
However, the young boy's next words made him stop in his tracks.
"Don't worry, sister. It's very safe there. Besides, who would know that there would be so much money buried in the wilderness? When we come out of the city tomorrow, we can bring it home. "
Money, and it seemed to be quite a lot.
Greed made the city guard take a step towards the siblings without batting an eyelid, trying to hear more clearly.
However, the two of them became quieter and more cautious.
"But I'm still worried. Why don't we bring it? "
"Bring what? Have you forgotten that the last time we went to my uncle's house to stay for a night, he stole dozens of taels of silver that we asked for? If it wasn't for Dad saying that he was sick and asking us to visit him, I wouldn't have come! "
The young boy said angrily and even kicked the city wall to vent his anger.
The woman pulled his arm and comforted him softly.
"We weren't prepared last time, right? Look, this time we're wearing old clothes and shoes, and even the carriage didn't let them reach the city gate. I don't think he knows how much silver we have on us, does he? Besides, I think the city gate is about to close, and we might not be able to make it in time. Why don't we fool around outside for the night and tell them that we've gone to see my uncle? I still don't think it's appropriate to use the stones to cover the silver. There are so many stones in the forest, what if we can't find it tomorrow? "
The city guard's eyes lit up. It turned out that these two were rich kids in disguise.
No wonder they came up with such a lame way to hide the money.
But where did they hide the money?
Suppressing the urge to interrogate them, the city guard pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation between the siblings.
The young boy looked around vigilantly, and then leaned over to the woman's ear and said.
"Don't forget, didn't we build a small platform with stones? I look around, and there's nothing like it. Don't worry, we'll come out tomorrow at dawn, okay? "
The woman was still a little hesitant, and wanted to persuade her brother to leave.
When the city guard heard the location of the silver, he was secretly delighted.
Last night, before dawn, he was tossed and turned. It seemed that God was kind to him, giving him such a big surprise.
However, he had to send the two siblings away.
Seeing that his brothers were about to close the city gates, the city guard came up with a plan and shouted at the siblings.
"You two, if you don't come in, the city gate will close! Let me tell you, there's no one nearby. If you two don't come in and encounter bandits, your lives will be in danger! "
