左凜提起左翊這個名字時總會稍作停頓96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuraCSFr3Vw
賀媞能聽出來，此人對左凜而言意義非凡96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡappr2WIuFA
晚風襲來，馬蹄聲也逐漸弱了下來96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBACpwMUKf0
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQcS4ilaU3
他們來到了烏啼城西區的拘查所96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcYGGghDXM
拘查所位於巷弄尾，一旁便是釀酒廠，故瀰漫著濃重酒氣96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT03PpemSw
賀媞有些不安地縮起身體，片刻間又用衣袖摀住口鼻96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOI55FNpRs
她發現空氣中有一股莫名的腐臭之味96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNz5Qi7QGB
如果不用衣袖摀住口鼻，她應該會當場吐出來96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLIGw0Vv24
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE7CLCQtbb
拘查所總管就站在門口，拿著一本厚實的手帳96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS2cuZMKeQ
他蓄著小巧的鬍子，身材矮小，腹部卻向外突出96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2exfC0qlH
表情看似肅穆，但站姿卻十分歪斜96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGgPBvUfTp
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxE3MYhPvZ
左凜：「疑犯帶到了。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKdZBT4Ee5
總管：「啊辛苦了，左大人。用不著進去，人交給你處置便是。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LZjhzt2pe
左凜：「李總管，疑犯帶到了。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUQm1g5f7Z
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAeKBOOxtt
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96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M3Bk6GVAr
但李總管並沒有因此改變態度，只是輕嘆一口氣96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr1FQvpFT3
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3L54QDI8t
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。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu80ZcVEdN
左凜：「……還請您通稟一聲。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMg5uk0Xkr
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96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjcFrmJXyb
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbCAPxep7w
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。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46ygON5U8p
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX6AmRIval
左凜聞聲後，眉頭用力地皺了一下96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUGsWLHf80
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96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkfaLYF064
但對方草率至此的態度還是令他心寒96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fSC3JQdmG
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspWBwySYpa
此時，不遠處響起了一陣陣鐘聲96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hvqjzBqeC
原先還倒在拘查所門外的幾名醉漢聞聲，突然全數起身96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xRMLbpnfY
就連李總管都扔下那本手帳，眉飛色舞地朝鐘聲奔去96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDtyxXctV4
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DaswGuTQI
「今天我一定要搶到！」「哈哈哈哈哈哈！」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5rfvlKWQK
循著這陣狂笑聲望去，有些人光著腳，有些人衣不蔽體96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhDvDPz0yF
卻絲毫不以為意，臉上盡是癲狂糜爛之情96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcFS8oR0qK
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauk5oA8grl
突然聽見一陣陣急促的腳步聲，賀媞顧不得心中恐懼96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWmgZ29l7f
她開口：「左大哥，這是什麼聲音？為何有這麼多腳步聲？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPaL5kjDev
左凜：「無須在意，不過就是群瘋子。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1SlZe0CYZ
左凜再次牽起馬匹，緩步離開拘查所96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHCMQmwyjL
賀媞緊抓著囚車圍欄，繼續問道96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mGTPYvyav
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2IwaO0y8x
賀媞：「剛剛那人是誰？拘查所官員嗎？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCtaDDQh36
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。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3bXz1l8gd
賀媞：「試探？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaTWjViTU2
左凜：「……等到了安全的地方再詳說。」

96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS7kuZNyrg
左凜帶著賀媞來到一間小食堂96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY72HE81RAc
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96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN958aJ7D2c
女子聽見有聲音靠近，轉頭一望，露出淺笑96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBgtc9NwCO
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIsZaGG5WY
女子：「左大人來啦？還是老樣子？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0lEb5QWeK
左凜：「嗯，也麻煩為這位小朋友準備。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR3BF5JZU1
女子：「小事一樁，馬上來。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsfETsRHVz
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg18a4V6gRu
女子幹練地搬起清洗好的白蘿蔔後走進廚房96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMOgUVdd75
不一會兒，賀媞就聽見鍋鏟碰撞的聲音96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihugU901rm
空氣中還不時傳來陣陣食物的香氣96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN8Aqpev5C
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfkEBjOHjL
左凜拿出鑰匙將賀媞從囚車中放出來96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DOUteaoHR
賀媞剛下囚車時，只覺得頭暈目眩，渾身癱軟無力96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUNKbLRetu
但在聞到食物的香味後，她才發現自己許久未進食了96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNX4Wmhp79
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUHTLuOLSQ
這是這幾天來，賀媞第一次覺得自己餓了96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyQZMAClpB
她努力嗅聞空氣中的香味，有些無力地趴在桌上96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlCg9MFz6j
女子沒三兩下就變出了兩碗乳粥與烙餅上桌96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvWEOeyNIk
香噴噴的新鮮烙餅，再加上煮得恰到好處的乳粥96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj4Y5NllS0
賀媞不等左凜說話，馬上開始大吃起來96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmow8TcKnlL
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yfg5Prm5m
女子清洗好雙手，再次走出廚房時，手裡多了一套玉製酒器96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FSGUGNBqf
她雖身材瘦弱，但渾身散發出精明能幹的氣息96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOrjlb0yFT
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96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Rmpnpij6H
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSqtf6ZxLQ
她一臉笑盈盈地看著狼吞虎嚥的賀媞96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wtnmXbS22
女子：「好久沒有人吃我做得餅吃得那麼香了。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJptmvrlSO
女子衝著賀媞一笑，但發現她看不見後96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTvgL75puX
又悄悄往盤子上放了兩塊烙餅96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupKVYnvtPm
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZWfOaTCsF
女子：「對了，這是先前說好的新釀，左大人嘗嘗。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGvC74C6VJ
左凜：「先謝過。范大人那裡可有消息？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTxsHuKanU
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA1EMxlYug
左凜拿起一只玉杯，動作輕巧地拿起那玉製酒器96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9RolWyXyB
將酒水盛滿整只玉杯後啜飲起來96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAhh6fruVH
女子的雙眼仍沒有離開賀媞，但開口答道：「東西放在老地方。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITzvhKDguF
左凜於是放下玉杯，走向擺放藥草的藥櫃96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81wmVs7Bi4
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxzFoxexIP
女子：「但這孩子該怎麼辦？真要送去五姊姊那裡嗎？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn77o1QEBv
左凜：「姑娘從何處得知？」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvMsHyZIBY
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。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HRvdd2l1f
左凜：「說得是。那五娘那裡……」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgeEusFBxz
女子：「通報過了，但不知這孩子通不通音律。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2ukGdHN4j
左凜：「只能先按計畫送過去，西區太過危險。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1EZJyUfsk
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qwl0qXxy9
就在兩人談論之際，賀媞已經吃了整整三塊烙餅96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvECOdxw02
還喝下一大碗粥，她覺得自己從來沒有這麼餓過96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv4Gnydxna
以前就算父親一次上齊整桌菜，她也不曾吃得這麼撐96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGE4PxCmeO
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9nFs31Ysg
賀媞：「嗝……我真的吃不下了……」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbTcoR91ru
女子：「哈哈哈，下次想吃隨時來找我，我叫鮑姬。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KpYvRIYI8
賀媞：「謝謝鮑姬姐姐！」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLfPCxFAyS
鮑姬：「哎呀，真討人喜歡。」96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdYpR3vIjt
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM2cYDbm7c
賀媞與鮑姬一見如故，兩人紛紛露出笑容96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxkzj66ePX
左凜將信封從藥櫃中取出，從旁看到這一幕96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHkHcnydqZ
也展露了這趟旅程中不曾見到的笑容
