——Bang!

The gate of Ah Xing's house was originally closed. After the middle-aged man arrived, he gave a look, and the constable next to him immediately understood and kicked the wooden door of Ah Xing's house open.

The wooden door had been in disrepair for a long time, and it fell to the ground after being kicked.

There was a loud bang, and dust and smoke rose up.

But even though the sound was so loud, no one came out to check the situation.

The whole yard was quiet, as if no one was there at all.

"My dear, look..."

The constable who kicked the door open stood aside and made room for the narrow gate to allow the middle-aged man to enter.

After the man came in, he first looked around the yard. The messy and narrow space made him frown. One of the disciples following him snorted coldly: "She is really self-degrading!"

"Haha, I thought she could find a good place, but she ended up living in such an expensive place!"

"Hmph, after becoming a mortal, she has lost her spirit."

Several people were talking about it, but the middle-aged man's eyes fell on the medicine stove in the corner.

The pungent smell of Chinese medicine was so strong that it could even choke people when they entered the door. After entering the yard, it was so suffocating that people couldn't open their eyes. Several people, including the three disciples, covered their noses unconsciously.

"It seems that she has been relying on these medicines to maintain her life these years..."

Someone sighed softly, and the middle-aged man frowned when he heard it, walked to the medicine stove, and took a look at the medicine cup placed on it.

The medicine cup was still warm, and even the fire in the medicine stove had not been completely extinguished.

The man opened the medicine bowl and saw the medicine residue inside.

"It is as expected."

"Master, is there any problem?" Libang walked to the man and asked in a low voice.

"The person is here for sure." The man pointed to the medicine stove on the ground and said, "She has been dug out of her spirit bones. If she wants to prolong her life, she really needs to drink medicine all year round. But even if she boils medicine every day, the smell of medicine in this yard is a bit too strong."

"Some of the herbs added here are harmless to people and have no benefits, but the smell after boiling will be very pungent and unpleasant, and it will not dissipate for several days."

"If it is not used to cover up the smell, no one will deliberately add this kind of herb to boil."

After saying that, the middle-aged man also glanced at the constable who followed him in: "All towns have to count and check the household registration every year. At that time, they should have used this method to avoid the investigation."

Libang looked up and saw that the constables were covering their noses, looking disgusted and about to vomit.

I believe that when they checked the household registration, they probably didn't even enter the house because of the smell, and didn't see what the woman in the house looked like.

"This bunch of good-for-nothings!" Libang got angry when he heard it, and immediately drew his sword to cause trouble.

"Don't pay attention to them, they are just a bunch of mortals."

The middle-aged man stopped him, and then his eyes fell on the house: "Go inside and take a look."

They hadn't entered the house before, but there was such a big commotion outside the yard, but the people inside didn't react at all, which confirmed that the house was empty.

However, the middle-aged man was still calm, and immediately took Libang into the house to confirm whether there was anyone in the house.

Opening the door of the largest room, it was indeed empty.

The furniture was very simple, but because the house was small, it was filled with all kinds of sundries.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw the big bed with black bed curtains.

The man walked over and lifted the bed curtains. In the dim light, the bedding on the bed was a little messy, and it seemed that the owner left in a hurry.

He reached out to touch the bed, and found that it was still warm. At the same time, a strange fragrance came towards him!

The man's eyes were stern: "They just left not long ago, chase them!"

After saying that, he was the first to flash out of the door, and tried to find a hint of strange fragrance from the pungent air.

"Chase her first, the smell on her body is very special, and it can't be covered after leaving this yard. Go and check all the gates out of the city!"

The man gave an order, and all his disciples responded.

At this time, the county old man who ran over panting heard his words, and before he even had time to say hello, he saw these nobles disappear.

He finally reacted, and immediately shouted at the group of constables around him: "Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear what the noble said? Hurry up and guard the city gates. If the person the noble is looking for runs away later, I will hold you accountable!"

The group of constables responded, and the yard was empty immediately.

I don’t know how long it took, but this small courtyard was bustling with people until it got dark, and then it became completely quiet.

LookIt was to make sure that the people here had escaped and no one would come for the time being.

Until then, in a corner of the yard, there was a sudden movement from under a rough large water tank filled with water.

The large water tank moved. It looked like the water tank with a full tank of water should be more than 100 kilograms, but it was lifted up from the bottom and moved to the side.

A head popped out from below, looked in the yard, and after confirming that there was no one, he pulled the person below up: "Ah Xing, you come up first."

The man who spoke was Ah Xing's father. He first carried Ah Xing, who was covered in dust, out from below, and then he carried a woman on his back and jumped up.

He looked like an ordinary person, but from his ability to jump from the tunnel to the top with people on his back, he could see that he was definitely not an ordinary person.

But it was this person who showed a flattering smile to Qin Feng during the day today, and even walked with a limp.

"Dad, who are those people? Why are we hiding?"

Ah Xing stood in the dark, looking at the mess around him, with a smiling face full of fear.

This is his home, at least a few hours ago.

But now there is only a mess.

He didn't know why his father suddenly carried him and his mother into the tunnel, nor did he know why there was a tunnel under the big water tank in the corner of the yard, and he didn't know why those people were looking for them before.

He only knew that his home was gone and they had to leave here.

Dad touched his head: "Good Ah Xing, you listen, you just need to know that we must leave here tonight. Dad will carry Mom on his back, you follow behind Dad obediently, and take the medicine bag Dad prepared for you, okay?"

Ah Xing didn't know why his father was in such a hurry, but when he heard this, he nodded in a daze.

But at this moment, a male voice came from the beam: "Escape? Where can you escape to?"
