左凜提起左翊這個名字時總會稍作停頓95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMxBOQiz6S
賀媞能聽出來，此人對左凜而言意義非凡95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSkIe0EeQF
晚風襲來，馬蹄聲也逐漸弱了下來95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHkTCJKvpM
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRCkpyr8LE
他們來到了烏啼城西區的拘查所95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YlvfoEDmk
拘查所位於巷弄尾，一旁便是釀酒廠，故瀰漫著濃重酒氣95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxH9RQZssn
賀媞有些不安地縮起身體，片刻間又用衣袖摀住口鼻95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS6ftoAUe6
她發現空氣中有一股莫名的腐臭之味95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Uu4Cgyoke
如果不用衣袖摀住口鼻，她應該會當場吐出來95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeJHJ54DQv
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYfvGGirzg
拘查所總管就站在門口，拿著一本厚實的手帳95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c3rB4Y4E5
他蓄著小巧的鬍子，身材矮小，腹部卻向外突出95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghmCsShDQv
表情看似肅穆，但站姿卻十分歪斜95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gUWaKgC4u
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyYb7f3oWv
左凜：「疑犯帶到了。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0FNrZpqXf
總管：「啊辛苦了，左大人。用不著進去，人交給你處置便是。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u6yfQyQ61
左凜：「李總管，疑犯帶到了。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWXb67Awb0
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyukbyjgOn
眼看對方反應冷淡，左凜又重複了一次，這次語氣明顯加重不少95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5nalbKC4i
但李總管並沒有因此改變態度，只是輕嘆一口氣95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtVpQr2ke7
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPswbNsQWQ
李總管：「是炬揚客棧的事吧？但那些個草包，不都沒有親眼目睹嗎？既沒人證，也無物證，還是別浪費我們大人的時間了。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6necVN1gi
左凜：「……還請您通稟一聲。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPETSCdpzc
李總管這才有些不情願地將目光看向賀媞，但也就那麼一小會兒95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MjFzQShMM
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaFkabUccW
李總管：「哎呀，只是個小姑娘，你何必如此較真？送去名冠酒樓讓五娘好好調教調教，說不定還能有點樂子，真是個傻小子。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5BluTAl2O
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6QYSGwZHV
左凜聞聲後，眉頭用力地皺了一下95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAkpL2lpMp
雖說早知道對方不會認真看待，他心中也認定賀媞不是犯人95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRztyHsHeUF
但對方草率至此的態度還是令他心寒95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU6Xl19xTN
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VSuZQsXxx
此時，不遠處響起了一陣陣鐘聲95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm62ZUV1VP
原先還倒在拘查所門外的幾名醉漢聞聲，突然全數起身95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3VglVjX8P
就連李總管都扔下那本手帳，眉飛色舞地朝鐘聲奔去95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcNfvy9pgC
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnmLwBBtlr
「今天我一定要搶到！」「哈哈哈哈哈哈！」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicW6z2wfxN
循著這陣狂笑聲望去，有些人光著腳，有些人衣不蔽體95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmVAVjcr1f
卻絲毫不以為意，臉上盡是癲狂糜爛之情95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhSfN8vXmo
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o6ytRDxi6
突然聽見一陣陣急促的腳步聲，賀媞顧不得心中恐懼95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMsaWtpJOA
她開口：「左大哥，這是什麼聲音？為何有這麼多腳步聲？」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AxHrrUH06
左凜：「無須在意，不過就是群瘋子。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU13JH0We6n
左凜再次牽起馬匹，緩步離開拘查所95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZZyeOrR2y
賀媞緊抓著囚車圍欄，繼續問道95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU570HOhD7
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq5spLUxeI
賀媞：「剛剛那人是誰？拘查所官員嗎？」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d0ONDQB0c
左凜：「姑且算是，但我也不過是來試探一番，不會真的將你關在此處。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtDaCKPQpg
賀媞：「試探？」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JLDNnsNK8
左凜：「……等到了安全的地方再詳說。」

95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0jBT3SgzB
左凜帶著賀媞來到一間小食堂95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkVbY4F0yJ
一名包著頭巾的年輕女子正蹲坐著，清洗著數條還沾著泥土的白蘿蔔95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1Q52y5alt
女子聽見有聲音靠近，轉頭一望，露出淺笑95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0PlwbDKlM
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBXISEIsRo
女子：「左大人來啦？還是老樣子？」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhPhxauv6k
左凜：「嗯，也麻煩為這位小朋友準備。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZMok5seLr
女子：「小事一樁，馬上來。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQPYctMGKe
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaMsMTDGGH
女子幹練地搬起清洗好的白蘿蔔後走進廚房95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL48Dcbl6x
不一會兒，賀媞就聽見鍋鏟碰撞的聲音95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrSRXoz1ML
空氣中還不時傳來陣陣食物的香氣95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx1vza9xxQ
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpml3AokWoL
左凜拿出鑰匙將賀媞從囚車中放出來95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iNvwZrW7z
賀媞剛下囚車時，只覺得頭暈目眩，渾身癱軟無力95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVAuMWSqVB
但在聞到食物的香味後，她才發現自己許久未進食了95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ719dRUhHIY
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SdoCYi8da
這是這幾天來，賀媞第一次覺得自己餓了95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87fTNcaCQY
她努力嗅聞空氣中的香味，有些無力地趴在桌上95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtnV1zTrcw
女子沒三兩下就變出了兩碗乳粥與烙餅上桌95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcJpm8q9ZK
香噴噴的新鮮烙餅，再加上煮得恰到好處的乳粥95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oyWhrYPnS
賀媞不等左凜說話，馬上開始大吃起來95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRj4dXirGq
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzQkATxAYB
女子清洗好雙手，再次走出廚房時，手裡多了一套玉製酒器95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7cVZucTl3
她雖身材瘦弱，但渾身散發出精明能幹的氣息95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzdOkDNm6x
和方才那群笑著狂奔而走的「瘋子」們相比著實令人安心不少95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqcSl3zJBS
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw2jATdzLb
她一臉笑盈盈地看著狼吞虎嚥的賀媞95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4l45GnIvU
女子：「好久沒有人吃我做得餅吃得那麼香了。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCnnI8Mj7a
女子衝著賀媞一笑，但發現她看不見後95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9xGW7JrAS
又悄悄往盤子上放了兩塊烙餅95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFDQ80fAMw
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XyRGRA8sP
女子：「對了，這是先前說好的新釀，左大人嘗嘗。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeVOEU2XU4
左凜：「先謝過。范大人那裡可有消息？」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHHxSldS2L
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDIwHLwxXS
左凜拿起一只玉杯，動作輕巧地拿起那玉製酒器95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNVeGqaIkV
將酒水盛滿整只玉杯後啜飲起來95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT2ZwCZOm8
女子的雙眼仍沒有離開賀媞，但開口答道：「東西放在老地方。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ekBibTyvk
左凜於是放下玉杯，走向擺放藥草的藥櫃95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlWqKFEvVZ
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UrppNlIkf
女子：「但這孩子該怎麼辦？真要送去五姊姊那裡嗎？」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefWmCzBfaF
左凜：「姑娘從何處得知？」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRrBkSagts
女子：「哈，左大人莫不是太久沒進城了？這裡可是烏啼，四面八方皆是大人眼耳。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDHH146PiF
左凜：「說得是。那五娘那裡……」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaHnOJLGHl
女子：「通報過了，但不知這孩子通不通音律。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDopO7RDl5
左凜：「只能先按計畫送過去，西區太過危險。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHAQdDF0kk
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E9xld8KRd
就在兩人談論之際，賀媞已經吃了整整三塊烙餅95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreFE2bBNjr
還喝下一大碗粥，她覺得自己從來沒有這麼餓過95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckbP0uaMmF
以前就算父親一次上齊整桌菜，她也不曾吃得這麼撐95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOVOliZjVg
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepRDlMd1nm
賀媞：「嗝……我真的吃不下了……」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFKiZNl6px
女子：「哈哈哈，下次想吃隨時來找我，我叫鮑姬。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04534civxA
賀媞：「謝謝鮑姬姐姐！」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVztN9cHNBc
鮑姬：「哎呀，真討人喜歡。」95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7Xv9uPBSZ
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1xKu2erX6
賀媞與鮑姬一見如故，兩人紛紛露出笑容95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEzW2x9ion
左凜將信封從藥櫃中取出，從旁看到這一幕95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalmBMA4bqZ
也展露了這趟旅程中不曾見到的笑容
