左凜提起左翊這個名字時總會稍作停頓97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDmhswxmsv
賀媞能聽出來，此人對左凜而言意義非凡97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7cVAaGzjO
晚風襲來，馬蹄聲也逐漸弱了下來97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HE6eK5ue4
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrk7X0Zchs
他們來到了烏啼城西區的拘查所97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5MmOqxmoa
拘查所位於巷弄尾，一旁便是釀酒廠，故瀰漫著濃重酒氣97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtS0naN6YF
賀媞有些不安地縮起身體，片刻間又用衣袖摀住口鼻97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAfWzxBL5Q
她發現空氣中有一股莫名的腐臭之味97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfSWrHXxdo
如果不用衣袖摀住口鼻，她應該會當場吐出來97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuI4Lk8awC
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtTtfKvQ8d
拘查所總管就站在門口，拿著一本厚實的手帳97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6DNwP11aq
他蓄著小巧的鬍子，身材矮小，腹部卻向外突出97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX3bNJIzvu
表情看似肅穆，但站姿卻十分歪斜97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8UhajmfZF
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0bMJZPyzt
左凜：「疑犯帶到了。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vH7LHFkv8
總管：「啊辛苦了，左大人。用不著進去，人交給你處置便是。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84suXBTTFl
左凜：「李總管，疑犯帶到了。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYQZGKE43R
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpNsP3w8C4
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97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBDeX0mfhC
但李總管並沒有因此改變態度，只是輕嘆一口氣97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL0NXQwZXp
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARLeM6uUyZ
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。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk13ZhWxAW
左凜：「……還請您通稟一聲。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7t2mhEhYT
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97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGijg9VdkwK
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQvADjJDMp
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。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmwud4wW6v
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WkRV5k3GM
左凜聞聲後，眉頭用力地皺了一下97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFszEj4Hujq
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97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDbyDwkAR2
但對方草率至此的態度還是令他心寒97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgUPKec1aR
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoshjOwtrBa
此時，不遠處響起了一陣陣鐘聲97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN5rgzUWBL
原先還倒在拘查所門外的幾名醉漢聞聲，突然全數起身97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrHDZ0aiql
就連李總管都扔下那本手帳，眉飛色舞地朝鐘聲奔去97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB8KCulosg
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOFuTHK21s
「今天我一定要搶到！」「哈哈哈哈哈哈！」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8JzXIWAL2
循著這陣狂笑聲望去，有些人光著腳，有些人衣不蔽體97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsPGjNhLXd
卻絲毫不以為意，臉上盡是癲狂糜爛之情97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc5i91Ozjx
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mmIjanH8X
突然聽見一陣陣急促的腳步聲，賀媞顧不得心中恐懼97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q82oFDDY6
她開口：「左大哥，這是什麼聲音？為何有這麼多腳步聲？」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWUsDSDsTy
左凜：「無須在意，不過就是群瘋子。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCOnbTAO1P
左凜再次牽起馬匹，緩步離開拘查所97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPCKbtW4Nq
賀媞緊抓著囚車圍欄，繼續問道97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfJ6regTYg
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyxizog3fe
賀媞：「剛剛那人是誰？拘查所官員嗎？」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R2XLroHj1
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。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dO2vhv05a
賀媞：「試探？」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aWCVEgsGN
左凜：「……等到了安全的地方再詳說。」

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAjJ8tt1uG
左凜帶著賀媞來到一間小食堂97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjXPqlnRUV
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97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNV3U7Nd5p
女子聽見有聲音靠近，轉頭一望，露出淺笑97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDifebdMZD
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMZtY9PSRM
女子：「左大人來啦？還是老樣子？」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvNcIiEqdq
左凜：「嗯，也麻煩為這位小朋友準備。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fuikGU919
女子：「小事一樁，馬上來。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVrFY3Vuf2
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErq20IjGqM
女子幹練地搬起清洗好的白蘿蔔後走進廚房97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5oTmjzE0Q
不一會兒，賀媞就聽見鍋鏟碰撞的聲音97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVCbsLR63a
空氣中還不時傳來陣陣食物的香氣97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lvMzqzTzo
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxurmr4gVa
左凜拿出鑰匙將賀媞從囚車中放出來97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33clioIKg1
賀媞剛下囚車時，只覺得頭暈目眩，渾身癱軟無力97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5vL3uNeBh
但在聞到食物的香味後，她才發現自己許久未進食了97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZhRgzT2XB
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJVaVv62yy
這是這幾天來，賀媞第一次覺得自己餓了97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WwWUdEDju
她努力嗅聞空氣中的香味，有些無力地趴在桌上97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsEeUOTDvM
女子沒三兩下就變出了兩碗乳粥與烙餅上桌97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkR0GeWqI5
香噴噴的新鮮烙餅，再加上煮得恰到好處的乳粥97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTdRD4MKQb
賀媞不等左凜說話，馬上開始大吃起來97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKG1HJpNOc
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTonYb885z0
女子清洗好雙手，再次走出廚房時，手裡多了一套玉製酒器97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8X6xq41jX
她雖身材瘦弱，但渾身散發出精明能幹的氣息97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bNWckDOD3
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97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNnKy41E3b
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TqwuIS49K
她一臉笑盈盈地看著狼吞虎嚥的賀媞97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNv5ItHHus
女子：「好久沒有人吃我做得餅吃得那麼香了。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWXpqFtQTv
女子衝著賀媞一笑，但發現她看不見後97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU6mDWSJNV
又悄悄往盤子上放了兩塊烙餅97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2pkD3lVdX
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD626GcPjc
女子：「對了，這是先前說好的新釀，左大人嘗嘗。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIowDlYIZhh
左凜：「先謝過。范大人那裡可有消息？」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB3o02rfTF
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMZWSIyEuW
左凜拿起一只玉杯，動作輕巧地拿起那玉製酒器97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGdqRqJmxq
將酒水盛滿整只玉杯後啜飲起來97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoH13TQXYr
女子的雙眼仍沒有離開賀媞，但開口答道：「東西放在老地方。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw94h0yWlk5
左凜於是放下玉杯，走向擺放藥草的藥櫃97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooyaFwdmfp
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4fXEWd4Hp
女子：「但這孩子該怎麼辦？真要送去五姊姊那裡嗎？」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RMEggJnjy
左凜：「姑娘從何處得知？」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOozZVZGk9Z
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。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EbbpVYecU
左凜：「說得是。那五娘那裡……」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaVoWQ9sU1
女子：「通報過了，但不知這孩子通不通音律。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN2YMsIXIO
左凜：「只能先按計畫送過去，西區太過危險。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDpDYickS8
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy58yI7hft
就在兩人談論之際，賀媞已經吃了整整三塊烙餅97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc5xLy4F8X
還喝下一大碗粥，她覺得自己從來沒有這麼餓過97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6EmHxHjIJ
以前就算父親一次上齊整桌菜，她也不曾吃得這麼撐97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUl8rFqXO8
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F4Pz1uvT6
賀媞：「嗝……我真的吃不下了……」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBon7HYcCzl
女子：「哈哈哈，下次想吃隨時來找我，我叫鮑姬。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXrZjrnU82
賀媞：「謝謝鮑姬姐姐！」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7ZNsFnPxd
鮑姬：「哎呀，真討人喜歡。」97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFZqSGouzy
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC5U883S1L
賀媞與鮑姬一見如故，兩人紛紛露出笑容97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lx8rsRgwE
左凜將信封從藥櫃中取出，從旁看到這一幕97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklGpxR0qa3
也展露了這趟旅程中不曾見到的笑容
