Fei Yanche held the things written by Shen Yuan in his hand.
He didn't expect that An An could even do this.
In the dream where I never met An'an, did a new papermaker appear in Dawei?
He looked at Shen Yu'an, but his mind was recalling the dream he had in the past.
It can’t be said to be a complete dream, but it felt like everything happened.
He was seriously injured and fled among the people. After many twists and turns, he finally carved out a way out of the dead end.
My father, the king, and my mother, the queen, were tortured and killed in the capital, and my younger sister's tragic death seemed to happen right before my eyes.
Every battle in the dream seemed to appear before him, but he was defeated in the end.
Being tied up at the entrance of the vegetable market and subjected to the punishment of slow slicing.
Fei Yanche felt a sharp pain in his head, so he reached out and rubbed his temple.
I have been busy with other things recently and have not contacted General Xiangnan again.
However, now is not the best time to meet General Xiangnan.
Seeing Fei Yanche frowning and rubbing his temples, Shen Yu'an asked, "Is there something wrong with what you wrote, or did you get caught in a cold wind again?"
Fei Yanche dropped his hands to his knees and said, "General Xiangnan is a man of great righteousness. If you want to discuss cooperation with him, then talk to him about benefiting the people."
——
The next day, Shen Yu'an and Ji Xun went to the capital.
Because they were going on serious business, Fei Yanche and other people from the Shen family did not accompany them this time.
The ox cart wobbled along for three and a half days, and finally arrived at the provincial capital on the afternoon of the third day.
The two found an inn to stay in and booked two adjacent rooms.
It was already too late today, so the two planned to go back to their rooms to rest, and then go out to find out more tomorrow.
After a long journey, Shen Yu'an asked the servant of the inn to bring him hot water to wash up. After changing into clean clothes, he walked out of the inn alone.
The city was still bustling after nightfall, with vendors selling all kinds of things on both sides of the street, and a dazzling array of items were displayed in front of the vendors.
Shen Yu'an planned to take a good stroll around the city at night.
People were coming and going on the street, and the sounds of hawking filled Shen Yu'an's ears.
On the other side of the downtown, a few ordinary-looking people were walking among the crowd, glancing around in the crowd with shifty eyes.
Shen Yu'an walked along the street for a long time and bought some snacks and small items that he liked.
"hiss!"
As she was walking, Shen Yu'an's shoulder was hit hard, and the person who collided with her lost his balance and sat down on the ground.
Shen Yu'an looked down and found that the person he knocked down was a woman.
Shen Yu'an quickly apologized and reached out to her to pull her up.
A man following behind the woman saw her being knocked down, and hurriedly took two steps forward and cursed at Shen Yuan: "You stupid girl, you don't have eyes when you walk!"
As he said this, he wanted to help the woman on the ground up.
The woman glared at the man who was trying to help her up, then smiled and grabbed the hand that Shen Yu'an offered her, using the force to prop herself up.
It's just that he fell so hard that his standing posture was a little uncomfortable and his face looked painful.
The woman said, "He doesn't speak well, girl, don't bother with him."
Shen Yu'an smiled and didn't care: "I was the one who knocked you down first."
Having said this, Shen Yu'an wanted to let go of the woman's hand, but as soon as Shen Yu'an pulled his hand out, he saw the woman's body suddenly shook and fell on Shen Yu'an.
The woman fell on Shen Yu'an again. Shen Yu'an helped her up and said with concern: "Did you fall hard? I'll take you to the hospital and I'll pay for the medical expenses."
Shen Yu'an knew that he was very strong and thought that he had knocked someone into an accident.
The man who looked like the woman's follower saw how hard she fell, so he stepped forward, supported her shoulders and said, "Why don't we go to the infirmary?"
The woman looked back at the man and gave him a warning look, then said to Shen Yu'an, "No need, I seem to have fallen on my coccyx, so it's probably not convenient for me to go to the clinic."
But she quickly added, "But there is a clinic near my home that has a female doctor."
The man looked at the woman in confusion. The woman pinched the man's arm lightly with her long nails. The two looked at each other as if they had reached some consensus.
But Shen Yu'an didn't notice the eye contact between them.
The woman pulled out the arm that the man was holding and supported it on her lower back.
She said with a somewhat painful look on her face: "My home is nearby, could you please help me get back home?"
The man suddenly became more talkative. He took a step back and said, "Miss, please help my young lady go back."
Shen Yuan nodded and asked, "Where is your home?"
When the woman heard Shen Yu'an's agreement, a hint of joy appeared on her face.
She pointed to an alley not far from the street and said, "You can take a shortcut to my house from that alley. I will show you the way as we walk."
"good."
Shen Yu'an supported the woman and walked slowly to a less crowded place, and then walked into the entrance of the alley.
The woman walked slowly, and Shen Yu'an had to support her with every step.
She suddenly asked, "You're not a local, are you?"
Shen Yu'an hummed softly and said nothing more.
Then, the woman asked Shen Yu'an a few more questions intermittently, most of which seemed insignificant and trivial.
Shen Yu'an, who had knocked the man to the point where he could hardly walk steadily, also replied briefly.
Before he reached the end of the alley, Shen Yu'an heard a sudden commotion on the street outside.
This noise was different from the bustling noise just now. It was mixed with people screaming and the voices of officers and soldiers asking questions and reprimanding loudly.
Shen Yu'an stopped and turned to look back.
The street, which was bustling just a moment ago, suddenly became solemn.
Many officers were walking on the streets with swords on their waists.
"Search, have you seen any suspicious persons with children?"
Someone in the crowd asked, "Sir, what happened?"
The officer glanced at the man and said, "Someone has gone to the government to report that several children are missing. Everyone, please pay attention and report any situation immediately!"
People on the streets were in a panic, and those who came with children hugged their children tightly.
Someone said: "These beggars are so hateful, they should be sentenced to death after being caught."
"That's right, he even stole the child, what a sin!"
The people on the street were complaining and cursing the beggars.
In the past few days, not only children have been lost in the city, but also many girls aged fifteen or sixteen have been lost.
Every day we could hear people outside the city reporting crimes, which made people feel uneasy.
However, the government’s search has always been lukewarm. I don’t know why so many people were mobilized today.
Shen Yu'an had just helped the woman walk a short distance into the alley when he heard every voice in the crowd clearly.
When the woman heard those words, her eyes tensed up for a moment. She tugged at Shen Yu'an's arm and said, "Let's go quickly. My coccyx seems to be hurting more and more."
As she spoke, the woman's voice trembled, as if she really couldn't bear the pain.
Shen Yu'an turned his head and his eyes just happened to sweep over the expression of the man behind them.
She asked casually, "Are you feeling unwell? Why is there so much sweat on your forehead?"
The man did not answer, but said in a harsher voice: "Go away, don't you see that my young lady can't stand it anymore?"
Shen Yu'an lowered his head to hide the expression in his eyes, and when he raised his head again, nothing could be seen.
She continued to support the woman and walked deeper into the alley.
Seeing her move, both the woman and the man breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Yu'an discovered that the woman who said she couldn't bear the pain seemed to move a little faster. Originally, in order to accommodate her, Shen Yu'an took very small steps, but now, the woman's one step had the span of two steps just now, and her pace was also much faster.
Shen Yu'an curled the corners of his mouth, and continued to walk forward in the direction the man pointed without saying anything.
When they reached the end of the alley, Shen Yu'an was led to turn right and saw a yard at the end of the alley. It looked secluded and seldom visited.
Shen Yu'an stopped again and said casually, "You guys just live here, it doesn't look like there's a clinic nearby."
The woman laughed awkwardly and said, "Miss, help me in."
"OK!"
Shen Yu'an moved again, helping the woman walk to the end of the dead end.
The man walked in front of the two of them and entered the yard a few steps ahead of them.
When Shen Yu'an helped the person to the door, the door behind him was closed as soon as he walked in, and two burly men blocked the door.
Shen Yu'an didn't seem surprised. He didn't look back when he heard the door close. Instead, he quietly looked at the burly men standing in front of him in the yard.
She chuckled and asked, "The girl's home was robbed."
The woman instantly shook off Shen Yu'an's hand and moved a few steps to the side, looking at her with a sneer, but ignored what she said.
She said to the men gathered in the yard, "Catch them."
Those people looked at Shen Yu'an, a weak woman, and didn't take her seriously.
A man stepped forward and slashed at the back of Shen Yu'an's head with a blade.
Shen Yu'an pretended to dodge, but just as the man's hand blade touched the back of her head, Shen Yu'an's body softened and fell to the ground.
The man didn't notice anything wrong and just thought that Shen Yu'an was too weak.
Seeing that Shen Yu'an was subdued so easily, the woman gave another order: "The government has increased the number of search personnel. We should not stay here any longer. Bring this girl in. We will find a way to leave as soon as possible tomorrow."
"yes."
Immediately afterwards, Shen Yu'an felt himself being carried up roughly, and his stomach was pressed so hard that he almost cried out.
They had eaten too much at the market just now, and Shen Yu'an felt like he was going to vomit as he was being carried along.
Fortunately, the distance was not far. Shen Yu'an secretly opened his eyes a little and found that he was taken to a room. The man pressed a button on the bed, and a dark cellar appeared on the ground.
Then, the man threw Shen Yu'an down.
