"..."
Turning on the horse, Wei Changtian looked down at the slightly trembling thin figure, and finally said a few words before urging the horse to go into the distance.
"I saved you once in the county government office, and it was the second time just now."
"Again and again, I won't save you a third time."
"So if you still want to seek death, you can do it now."
"Da da da......"
The sound of horseshoes pierced the tranquility of the night. Looking at the back of the horse, the girl's eyes struggled extremely.
She knew that if she really wanted to die again, Wei Changtian would never even look back.
So, do you want to live?
Recalling disgusting pictures in my mind, I thought of those bandits laughing and torturing themselves with various instruments of torture...
This kind of experience can completely destroy the spirit of many adults, let alone such a girl who is only twelve or thirteen years old.
In fact, she is still sober up to this day, which is considered extraordinary will.
But the humiliation and pain will not be reduced by this.
If she hadn't wanted to avenge her dead parents, the girl would have committed suicide when Wei Changtian entered the county government.
And now...
"Son!!"
Climbing up suddenly with both hands and feet, the girl suddenly used all her strength and shouted at the figure who had walked more than ten feet away:
"I, can I follow you?"
"clatter......"
The sound of hooves stopped abruptly, and the man on the horse looked back, as if hesitating for something.
After a while, a voice echoed in the night sky.
"Tomorrow morning, I will leave Zhongling."
"There are four gates in the southeast, northwest, and you can choose one to wait for me."
"If you can wait, it means that you and I are destined, and you can do things for me in the future."
"If you don't wait, then forget it."
"..."
Four city gates, choose one, [-]/[-] probability.
Wei Changtian's words were not so much a "decision" as a "perfunctory".
Although he didn't want to see the girl give up his life just like that, but he was actually not very willing to agree to the latter's request.
Even if raising such a person is nothing to him at all.
Therefore, knowing that if he refused, the girl would probably turn around and die, so he gave the other party such a chance.
If the girl is chosen, at worst, she can be taken to the capital and let her work as a maid in the Wei Mansion, which can be regarded as accumulating some sinful virtue.
If he was not selected, it would be better to have one more thing than one less thing, and this matter will be exposed, and I don't owe her anything anyway.
What Wei Changtian did this time is a bit like "resigning to fate", but this "fate" is not his own, but the girl's.
In this way, he "dumped the pot" and was ready to leave.
But at this moment, Wei Changtian suddenly heard a question behind him that he never expected.
"Son!"
"Which city gate will you go through tomorrow morning?"
"..."
Ok?
After a pause, Wei Changtian's expression instantly became surprised.
To be able to ask this question, either the mind is extremely simple, or the mind is extremely deep.
Judging from the girl's previous performance, she can never be the former.
Coupled with the fact that she is obviously higher than ordinary people's psychological quality...
"East gate."
Squinting his eyes, Wei Changtian spat out two words.
"Really?"
"real."
"Hmm! I trust you, sir!"
The girl tried her best to stand up straight, and shouted from afar: "I'll be waiting for you at the East City Gate tomorrow morning!"
"..."
......
Two quarters later.
"Young master, that girl is not simple."
In the inn that no longer has the "treasurer buddy", only one window is lit.
Yang Liushi rested her chin on her hand, listened carefully to Wei Changtian's experience just now, and said with a smile: "It's not like a scheming that can be done at the age of twelve or thirteen."
"Yes."
Wei Changtian lay sprawled on the bed, and casually replied, "But it's also possible that we're thinking too much."
"The slave family thinks she asked that question on purpose."
Yang Liushi came over and sat down by the bed, untied the hair ornament on her head and said, "If you don't ask, then she's just playing four games."
"And if you ask, then it becomes two bets."
"Two bets one?"
Wei Changtian was taken aback for a moment, he was about to ask something, but he understood what Yang Liushi meant in an instant.
Indeed, if the girl asked nothing, the chances of her choosing the right one were only one in four.
But after she asked this question, the probability of being right became [-]/[-].
Because the options are only "East City Gate" and "Not the East City Gate".
As incredible as it sounds, it is true.
After all, I am now considering whether to go through the East City Gate...
Good guy!
Blind cat meets dead mouse?
Or is there really such a city?
For a while, Wei Changtian was a little confused, but he understood one thing.
That is to ensure the probability of "one in two" betting right, that girl will definitely wait at the east gate tomorrow.
Because only in this way, she would not have to make another choice among "West Gate, South Gate, North Gate".
"Young master, don't you know how to go through the east gate?"
Beside her, Yang Liushi, who had already taken off her hair accessories, suddenly smiled and said, "Looking at the way you smile, I know you must have some bad intentions."
"But according to Ruo Yinu's family, let's go through the east gate."
"After all, that girl is pitiful enough, and you are not short of the little money to support her, son."
"Besides, since that girl has such a scheming plan, she may really become a person like Mr. Chu in the future."
"Compared to brother Chu? Then she is too far behind..."
Wei Changtian curled his lips and yawned heavily.
"Heh~ let's go to the north gate tomorrow."
"If she can bet right on this, then I will take it."
Chapter 591 Women's Intuition
The next morning.
When it was about to dawn, the three carriages had already stopped at the entrance of the inn.
The six lanterns at the gate were still glowing with a faint red light, but the woman and a "clerk" in the store had passed away, and their bodies were casually discarded in the backyard.
Wei Changtian and the others didn't even bother to dig a hole to bury them.
The same goes for the other bandits who died last night, and no one took care of more than a thousand corpses.
Fortunately, it is winter now, otherwise the entire Zhongling City would probably smell blood and corpses.
"Tell the Tanzhou Yamen about what happened last night."
Coming out of the inn, Wei Changtian said to Zhang San who was waiting by the carriage, "Let them send someone to clean it up."
"Yes, son."
Zhang San responded, and stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the car: "I will send a letter to Mr. Chu later, he should be able to contact the governor of Tanzhou."
"Ah."
Nodding their heads, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi bent over and got into the carriage.
"Let's go, leave the city through the south gate."
"..."
......
"Grumpy Grumpy..."
The sound of the wheels rolling over the uneven road surface is exceptionally clear.
It's the end of Mao's time now, if it was Shuzhou City, it should have been lively long ago.
But the streets of Zhongling City were still deserted and extremely quiet.
Even a few passers-by walked hurriedly with their heads down, looking at the three carriages with surprise and fear in their eyes.
It seems that the news that the bandit has died has not yet spread, and most of the people don't know what happened last night.
Of course, if this kind of thing really spreads, it will be spread very quickly. It is estimated that everyone should know by tonight at the latest.
I don't know how the people of Zhongling will feel after hearing this, and whether they will erect a stone sculpture or a monument for Wei Changtian.
For them, the mysterious swordsman who "sees injustice and draws out his sword to eliminate evil" is the great benefactor of Zhongling and the hero who rescued them from the dire straits.
But to Wei Changtian, this is just a trivial matter.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been to Zhongling before and had a relationship with the thin county magistrate, he might not care about this matter now.
After all, compared with future wars, a few gangsters are really not worth mentioning.
Just like Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen.
Apart from asking a few casual questions during breakfast, they didn't pay any more attention to this matter.
And Yangliu poetry.
She didn't care much about the gangsters or the people, but she was quite interested in that girl.
"My lord, you clearly promised that girl to go through the east gate, but you really have the heart to lie to her."
Sitting in the carriage, although Yang Liushi said so, she had a smile on her face, obviously joking on purpose.
"My girl will be waiting at the East Gate right now, and she will be so sad if she can't wait for you."
"It can be seen from this that men can't believe what they say..."
