左凜提起左翊這個名字時總會稍作停頓83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwXa1I8NIj
賀媞能聽出來，此人對左凜而言意義非凡83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lZjoolrnN
晚風襲來，馬蹄聲也逐漸弱了下來83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebxdhZNy1M
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQEqfKgOaI
他們來到了烏啼城西區的拘查所83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIfsjHxpBG
拘查所位於巷弄尾，一旁便是釀酒廠，故瀰漫著濃重酒氣83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw7YC4v168
賀媞有些不安地縮起身體，片刻間又用衣袖摀住口鼻83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHP5ewjUVw
她發現空氣中有一股莫名的腐臭之味83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogYZK3VV6w
如果不用衣袖摀住口鼻，她應該會當場吐出來83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWtwnp64XE
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2efsT8dcjH
拘查所總管就站在門口，拿著一本厚實的手帳83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPtPlevzJs
他蓄著小巧的鬍子，身材矮小，腹部卻向外突出83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWOMBIqjMe
表情看似肅穆，但站姿卻十分歪斜83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDxhFYtmPp
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb0W6nkhmO
左凜：「疑犯帶到了。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVStVEyC0KE
總管：「啊辛苦了，左大人。用不著進去，人交給你處置便是。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jdmRhqEJW
左凜：「李總管，疑犯帶到了。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdpzoA5gbh
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8fWttJA6V
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83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNNAfBVeNJ
但李總管並沒有因此改變態度，只是輕嘆一口氣83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNRr18Jppo
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomXwSwhOzw
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。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk7Eg9mYHZ
左凜：「……還請您通稟一聲。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0dqcV32go
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83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlvpCaiSwG
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrh7VszQIY
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。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwhOw7udfJ
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLu63gv6ug
左凜聞聲後，眉頭用力地皺了一下83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZoWwPXpCW
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83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkapIzZVWbE
但對方草率至此的態度還是令他心寒83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmHKJDhJdJ
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfcojbkH3R
此時，不遠處響起了一陣陣鐘聲83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p3ggilJYH
原先還倒在拘查所門外的幾名醉漢聞聲，突然全數起身83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzds7xU1HW
就連李總管都扔下那本手帳，眉飛色舞地朝鐘聲奔去83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYrkdxapPA
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1l3AqlG9x
「今天我一定要搶到！」「哈哈哈哈哈哈！」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF9CKp3OuE
循著這陣狂笑聲望去，有些人光著腳，有些人衣不蔽體83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hVgieZTRN
卻絲毫不以為意，臉上盡是癲狂糜爛之情83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqJd1Jjvwz
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92T1qKJ2ee
突然聽見一陣陣急促的腳步聲，賀媞顧不得心中恐懼83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAvDIhQ3td
她開口：「左大哥，這是什麼聲音？為何有這麼多腳步聲？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBCG2sq3QG
左凜：「無須在意，不過就是群瘋子。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo60rMuUo0t
左凜再次牽起馬匹，緩步離開拘查所83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lDr9epo47
賀媞緊抓著囚車圍欄，繼續問道83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoIsnwGjyk
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5Hqf2wFNh
賀媞：「剛剛那人是誰？拘查所官員嗎？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1W5VsxS0D
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。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrx6wReQoD
賀媞：「試探？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr10tahOKt
左凜：「……等到了安全的地方再詳說。」

83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIDEVwbT0c
左凜帶著賀媞來到一間小食堂83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n3UTaiC2C
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83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCellQPn1h9
女子聽見有聲音靠近，轉頭一望，露出淺笑83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpWAo4hHXJ
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaouMqFCfw0
女子：「左大人來啦？還是老樣子？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4x4bWoHpt
左凜：「嗯，也麻煩為這位小朋友準備。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosKLWK6A5I
女子：「小事一樁，馬上來。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJqs9eaCIx
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu1HVuTRj0
女子幹練地搬起清洗好的白蘿蔔後走進廚房83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqweiiNYple
不一會兒，賀媞就聽見鍋鏟碰撞的聲音83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdkqa3diTv
空氣中還不時傳來陣陣食物的香氣83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp5wTXBr2n
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKT4W4JncY
左凜拿出鑰匙將賀媞從囚車中放出來83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdKNuauS13
賀媞剛下囚車時，只覺得頭暈目眩，渾身癱軟無力83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucw43Hb9Pi
但在聞到食物的香味後，她才發現自己許久未進食了83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7gkZ3sYea
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MAATGPIuu
這是這幾天來，賀媞第一次覺得自己餓了83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51ciEVLv3B
她努力嗅聞空氣中的香味，有些無力地趴在桌上83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPvV3zO93m
女子沒三兩下就變出了兩碗乳粥與烙餅上桌83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiz3nFFeYW
香噴噴的新鮮烙餅，再加上煮得恰到好處的乳粥83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodGyzRQcy8
賀媞不等左凜說話，馬上開始大吃起來83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS68CuLxe9j
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjluvmTrTtx
女子清洗好雙手，再次走出廚房時，手裡多了一套玉製酒器83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEXap8sJWM
她雖身材瘦弱，但渾身散發出精明能幹的氣息83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvFFQ4S2cy
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83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPD2qUWkWe
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZj9TUEMzp
她一臉笑盈盈地看著狼吞虎嚥的賀媞83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT1yHY7MBp
女子：「好久沒有人吃我做得餅吃得那麼香了。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p646Dal62
女子衝著賀媞一笑，但發現她看不見後83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8elMMOTD4
又悄悄往盤子上放了兩塊烙餅83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFtlhb5rj1
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8q40vSpal
女子：「對了，這是先前說好的新釀，左大人嘗嘗。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aYeVQ2uF4
左凜：「先謝過。范大人那裡可有消息？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxanRfer8Xy
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHUcZ7hMjH
左凜拿起一只玉杯，動作輕巧地拿起那玉製酒器83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjgOE9QXhK
將酒水盛滿整只玉杯後啜飲起來83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54Weld4dG6
女子的雙眼仍沒有離開賀媞，但開口答道：「東西放在老地方。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oYSXJg0n1
左凜於是放下玉杯，走向擺放藥草的藥櫃83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZHmou2RhT
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD02gnkhHm
女子：「但這孩子該怎麼辦？真要送去五姊姊那裡嗎？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalfZII9LNd
左凜：「姑娘從何處得知？」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTEKo7Ly5D
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。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxYjNS82Zi
左凜：「說得是。那五娘那裡……」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqxqw2KPWG
女子：「通報過了，但不知這孩子通不通音律。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9e4RXayTY
左凜：「只能先按計畫送過去，西區太過危險。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa2VEqExJi
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEUzWPb9SG
就在兩人談論之際，賀媞已經吃了整整三塊烙餅83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyydfm7kxws
還喝下一大碗粥，她覺得自己從來沒有這麼餓過83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSah7QUBjpt
以前就算父親一次上齊整桌菜，她也不曾吃得這麼撐83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPRz43dazK
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZnQkjOkNh
賀媞：「嗝……我真的吃不下了……」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNpJ0SgHxT
女子：「哈哈哈，下次想吃隨時來找我，我叫鮑姬。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI85cvIKmcD
賀媞：「謝謝鮑姬姐姐！」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnTFMyyF8b
鮑姬：「哎呀，真討人喜歡。」83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92fkQbDZTb
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs4tOGqXD8
賀媞與鮑姬一見如故，兩人紛紛露出笑容83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xO2zmWvlm
左凜將信封從藥櫃中取出，從旁看到這一幕83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHsaBrpYCv
也展露了這趟旅程中不曾見到的笑容
