第一零六章 回酒楼(2 / 2)

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“你下来!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“你上来!”二人又到了方才的死循环。别看灵儿在围墙上蹦得欢。她可是一边表演一边时时留意院子里的状况,还要努力分散下面几人的注意力,不让他们发现躲在篮子后面的柏二弟。</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp二人又吵闹了一会儿。大厨房侧门出来个身高体健、面相威严的衙役,大胡子回身对那人拱手道:“丁捕头!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp那人淡淡的嗯了一声,见这边的小衙役依然跟灵儿吵闹得欢,拉长脸看了会儿。大吼一声:“犟驴子!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp小衙役吓了一抖,本能的转身跪倒在地:“丁捕头!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“你在办什么差?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“我…那个……”犟驴子结结巴巴指指围墙上的灵儿。灵儿做个鬼脸儿,吊着树杈儿往上一翻便躲进树丛里。</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp丁捕头皱眉看看围墙,目光疑惑,略有所思的样子。大家看丁捕头好一会儿没发话。表情都有些惴惴,大胡子求情道:“丁捕头,犟驴子才刚来。不懂规矩,脾气也倔。您…”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp丁捕头举起一手制止他,眼睛依然紧盯着那围墙,大胡子不明所以,也回头看看围墙。片刻后,丁捕头慢慢踱步走到围墙下,仰头与树上的灵儿对视:“小孩儿,我问你几个问题可好?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp灵儿愣了一下,眨眨眼道:“好啊,不过你不能抓我哦,我不是坏人!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“你老实回答问题,我们就不抓你!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp灵儿偏头想想:“不对,我又没做错事,你本来就不该抓我!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“臭小子,不得无礼!这是丁捕头,我们县衙的捕头懂不懂?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp灵儿故作天真道:“不懂!捕头是什么?能吃吗?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp下面的衙役黑了脸,倒是那丁捕头呵呵一笑:“无妨,童言无忌!小子,我问你,这围墙外面是什么?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp灵儿往外面看了看:“巷子!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“什么巷子?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“住人的巷子啊!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“住的什么人?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“什么人?嗯~~~当然是好人啦!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“你怎么知道是好人?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“我爹说坏人最爱吓唬小孩儿,巷子里的爷爷奶奶叔伯姨娘们从不吓唬我!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“呵呵!那我问你,那树上的绳子哪儿来的?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“绳子?”灵儿看看,自己绑的那条准备用来偷入院墙的绳子还在了!她不好意思的摸摸脑袋:“嘿嘿,是我栓的!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“你?你栓绳子作甚?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp灵儿眼珠一转,吐吐舌头:“因为这里洗碗的两位大婶对我好,时常给我留好吃的,我就从这里进去拿啊!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“你下来给我看看!”灵儿一愣,下去?!他要干什么?真把自己当小孩儿哄?</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“为什么要下去,你又没好东西给我!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“你下来了就有了!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“我不信!你把我那两位婶婶找来还差不多!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“你婶婶叫什么名字?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp灵儿一喜,莫非有戏?“一个叫柏三婶,一个叫吕二娘,叔叔,她们真是好人,您别抓她们好不好?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp丁捕头目光闪了闪:“是不是好人我说了不算,不过只要你听我的,我倒可以让你见她们一见!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp丁捕头话音刚落,装碗的篮子叮当一声脆响,众人低头去看,灵儿赶紧大喊:“好啊好啊,你叫我做什么就做什么,不过你是大人,说话要算数哦!不许抓我,还要带我去见柏三婶和吕二娘哦,说谎的人会被狼吃哦!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp几个衙役暗地吃吃的偷笑,丁捕头双手环胸道:“好,我保证就是!你把那绳子绑在腰上,顺着墙慢慢滑下来试试!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp灵儿虽有些担心,不过相信他们不会把自己怎样,当真依然而行。当她滑到一人高的位置,那犟驴子立刻冲上来,一把抓住她的腿:“哼,死小子,这次被我抓着了吧?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp灵儿一边踢腿一边大喊:“骗子,大骗子,说谎要被狼吃!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“哼。老子吃狼还差不多。臭小子……”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“住手,放开他!”丁捕头沉声一呵,犟驴子吓了一跳。赶紧退下。丁捕头亲自上前,双手接住灵儿,解开她腰间的绳子,把她放地上。然后道:“猴子,过来。爬上去试试!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp一个又瘦又小的衙役出来,借着灵儿方才的绳子一点儿一点儿往上爬,可那绑绳子的树杈儿并不算粗,瘦猴衙役爬到一半。上面咔嚓一声,瘦猴身子往下一掉悬在了半空。</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp众人倒抽一口凉气,瘦猴也吓得脸色惨白。挂在半空中不敢乱动,紧张的盯着上面的树杈儿大喊:“头儿。还往上爬吗?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp丁捕头双手环胸盯着那树杈儿,沉声道:“爬,想办法上围墙!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp既然上司这么说了,那瘦猴衙役虽然害怕,还是得硬着头皮继续上!他小心翼翼的一点儿一点儿往上挪,在那树杈儿完全掉落前一发力抓住围墙边缘,停顿片刻,然后一用力翻了上去,那树枝则咔嚓一声掉了下来。</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp瘦猴抹把汗水:“头儿,上来了,接下来做什么?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“看看外面是什么地方?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp瘦猴往下张望片刻:“好像…是个平民巷子!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“通往何处?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp瘦猴往前眺望一番:“前面通往镇子主大街,后面这边……有几个小院,转过去应该是这酒楼正门那条街!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp丁捕头沉吟片刻,“你看树上可有其他可借力的地方?围墙上是否有绳索痕迹?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp瘦猴找了一圈:“回捕头,这棵树大是挺大,可不怎么结实,方才断掉那树枝算是靠围墙这边最粗的了,其他的…小孩子可以,大人多半承受不住!围墙上也没什么痕迹!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp灵儿明白过来,拉拉丁捕头袖子道:“叔叔,你是看贼人怎么进来的是么?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp丁捕头低头眯起眼看她:“怎么,你知道?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp灵儿故作天真的偏头道:“当然!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“哦?你说!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“当然是从正门进的!爬树多费事儿啊!何况这厨房里经常都有人,进来一两个还好,进来多了不一下子就被发现了!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp众衙役面面相觑,大胡子道:“怎么可能?我们把半个镇子的人都问遍了,这几晚镇上一切如常,酒楼客人都是熟客,有据可查,生人都没几个,晚上也没人听到响动,那么多贼匪,若从正门进怎会没有动静儿?不可能,绝对不是从正门进的!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“嘻嘻,不从正门进,莫非他们还能像老鼠一般打洞不成?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“傻小子,别胡说八道,什么打洞不打洞的!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp丁捕头皱眉想了会儿,突然道:“你们,去把院中房中的地面都搜查一遍,仔细些,看看有没有地道的痕迹!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp众衙役一愣,见丁捕头面色严肃,齐齐拱手应诺,然后鱼贯而出,各自办差去,丁捕头也随之跟了出去,灵儿紧跑几步跟上:“叔叔、叔叔,你答应让我见两位婶婶的!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp丁捕头看她一眼,不耐烦的挥挥手道:“去去,一边玩儿去!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“叔叔,你说话不算数,撒谎会被狼吃!”灵儿不满的大喊,丁捕头停下,回头看灵儿一眼,他垂眉一想,对灵儿招招手道:“你跟我来!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp灵儿立刻乐呵呵的蹦过去,自来熟的黏上去:“叔叔真好,叔叔是个男子汉!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp丁捕头扯扯嘴角,又严肃道:“别光说好听的,要见你婶婶可以,除非今晚之前能找到贼匪出入酒楼的方式,否则……”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“否则什么?叔叔,抓坏人是你们的活儿哦,我帮不了忙哦!”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp丁捕头轻笑一声:“没叫你帮忙!小子,你叫什么名字,家住何处?爬那树上干什么?”</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp这个问题还真不好回答,撒谎的话人家堂堂一个捕头,肯定一查便知,不撒谎的话,现在这关都过不了,她想了想,随口胡诌道:</p>

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“我叫白小文,家在临仙镇那边,跟娘亲过来走亲戚的,爬树是想找柏三婶要好吃的,却没见她人影儿!叔叔,听说这院子里发生了大事,死了好多人,是真的么?”(未完待续)</p>
