In the cramped tunnel, the sunlight crossed the eaves and screened out several nearly parallel beams to fall into the tunnel.

Directly below, two people, one in front and one behind, were walking through the light and shadow, while the person behind was slowing down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ho~Ha~

Tang Luozhi gasped, her dry throat as if it was burned by fire and the soreness and swelling all over her body made her even more struggling to take steps.

She does not focus on exercise on weekdays, but her old friend's death and no rest all night made her exhausted physical strength approaching her limit.

The vision at the corner of the eyes suddenly blurred, and the feet staggered, and the body was about to fall forward.

The body did not hit the cold ground, but was replaced by a thick back that appeared in front of him at some point.

"Why do you want to save me?"

It was still the familiar voice, but Tang Luozhi felt mixed feelings at this time.

If she hadn't had the person in front of her, she wouldn't have come out today, and naturally she wouldn't have had to suffer such a crime.

Similarly, if it weren't for him, I would have probably fallen into the hands of the murderer.

"If you were taken away like this, I would suffer no less than you!"

According to the usual routine, Lu Jiu should have to say some heartwarming words at this time and capture the heart of the beauty behind him, but now he just feels troublesome.

If it were the other time to meet Tang Luozhi being chased, Lu Jiu would have pretended to look around and look at the scenery, whistling and slapped his butt, but this one left in their car in front of the old housekeeper of the Tang family.

Mr. Chen's family was killed last night. As a family friend, the Tang family couple were still dealing with the funeral. Looking back, their daughter was tied up again. I think we know what kind of situation Lu Jiu and Zhou Ze would face. It would be fine if they were two ordinary people, but Lu Jiu could not stand the investigation at all.

What kind of bullshit thing is this?

Fortunately, Tang Luozhi is very light, and Lu Jiu's physical strength is enough to make him run faster than most ordinary adults while carrying the former.

"Where are we going to go back to Xiuqifang?"

Looking at the scene where the two sides were retreating rapidly, Tang Luozhi leaned on Lu Jiu's back and barely took a breath and asked.

"At our speed, it is impossible to return to the street faster than those people... The location we got off the bus just now was not hidden, and people behind would definitely see it. The vehicles we entered were unable to pass through. From the time they got off to tracking our route, this would bring a buffer time, and we had to find a place to hide during this time."

There must be demon veins in the other party's team. Lu Jiu may be able to play a "speed of life and death" with them alone, but with Tang Luozhi, it is undoubtedly a delusion to get rid of them by speed.

Zhou Ze should have already driven to the Baiyu Porcelain Store in the south of the city. What Lu Jiu has to do now is to delay time as much as possible and wait for the arrival of supporters.

The choice to get off here is not entirely because of the acceleration of the followers behind. More importantly, according to the memory of the predecessor, this area in the west of the city should be papermaking and book binding and printing workshops that are relatively dense, with spacious courtyards and tall courtyard walls everywhere.

In addition, this type of work is mechanically helpful. There are often not many workers resident in the workshop, and they come here regularly to perform some simple machine adjustment and assembly work. Now it is almost noon. There may be one or two workers on duty in the workshop, but most of them stay near the noisy machines. Just be careful and avoid them.

This not only prevents people from exposing their whereabouts to the greatest extent, but also uses noisy machines to interfere with the judgment of trackers.

After rushing out of the alley, there were several workshops facing him. Lu Jiu did not spend too much time deciding where to hide, but chose one, opened the door and went in directly.

As Lu Jiu thought, at this time, there were only the sound of operating machines in the workshop. There were a large number of bound books and people coming to pick up the goods in the courtyard. When you walked into the open workshop gate, you could vaguely hear the sounds of "can't afford it", "reporting orders", "exploding" and other sounds coming from the inner room. It was probably because you were struggling to liberate the poor peasants.

Lu Jiu looked around and his eyes fell on the stairs beside him. He took Tang Luozhi around the two machines and went straight to the second floor.

What is stored here is a large amount of white paper and some unopened mechanical parts, which is probably the warehouse of the workshop.

"You can find a place to rest first, and I'll see what's going on outside."

Lu Jiu first put Tang Luozhi down, then quickly walked to the window, half-opened the originally closed window, and observed the situation around the alley when they came just now.

Tang Luozhi, who landed again, did not sit down on the spot, but maintained a standing position and slowly moved her legs. At the same time, she was silently observing Lu Jiu not far away.

The man was half-squatting by the window, with no trace of sweat on his forehead and temples, so calm that he even had a little cold face in the shadow behind the window.

Is this really a visitor?

Before, because of the urgent matter, Tang Luozhi didn't have time to think about it. Now she has got a short rest time. She has to start thinking about why a person of similar age can run so fast with her back on her back, let alone his calmness and rationality when facing the thief tracking.

It seemed as if he had already experienced a more cruel situation!

Just as Tang Luozhi was examining Lu Jiu, the latter suddenly pulled open his bag, and after a brief exploration, he took out a short knife with a leather sheath from it, and inserted it into his waist obliquely.

As if he noticed Tang Luozhi's gaze, Lu Jiu suddenly turned around and pursed his lips and said, "As a visitor, I usually need to cut paper. Is it reasonable to carry a short knife?"

“Yes, is that?”

She really didn't know what to answer.

Fortunately, Lu Jiu's attention soon returned to the alley. At the moment when he was talking to Tang Luozhi, three men and one woman had already appeared there.

The man standing in the middle hugged a long knife, as if he had said something, and the three people beside him immediately dispersed to both sides.

Is this going to disperse searches?

Lu Jiu, who saw all this, was delighted. Since he was searching scatteredly, it meant that the other party did not know where they were hiding.

The current location is hidden enough that you can hold on for a while...

Ji~ Jiji~

The sudden cry interrupted Lu Jiu's thoughts. His eyes looked at the source of the sound and saw a fist-sized bird looking here at the corner of the eaves on the first floor outside the window.

After a brief silence, Lu Jiu suddenly turned around, and the man outside the alleyway entrance had already locked in this direction.

He is, does the demon vein like to play with birds so much?
