第309章 探(一更)
沈延川眉梢微扬:“怎么说?”

连舟顿了顿,低声道:“属下看那几人走路的时候腰身板正,步伐轻快,倒像是……军营中人!”

沈延川目光一凝,眼底划过一抹冷光:“你确定?”

“八九不离十。”连舟语气笃定。

他也是军中出来的人,对这些最为熟悉,绝不会判断失误。

“那几人虽然身着短衫,作寻常打扮,乍然一看和寻常百姓无异,但细节处还是能看出差别。”

在军营里练出来的,多多少少都带着将士特有的习性,就算极力伪装,也还是有一些根儿上的东西,是轻易无法改变的。

沈延川垂眸沉思。

这石滦城是个小地方,依山傍水,风景秀丽,民风淳朴。

若非因为突然下了大雨,他们甚至不会选择在这里歇脚。

却没想到,偶然之下,竟发现了这样的蹊跷。

“那几人都是正当壮年?”

“并非。其中三人二十出头,那个小头头瞧着似乎有三十了。”

连舟心里有了猜测,但还是没有十足把握,犹豫着道:
“不过,那铁矿上干的本就是体力活,许是特地招了退伍的老兵也说不准。”

沈延川淡声反问:“那你看那几人,可是身有残疾?”

连舟回忆片刻,摇头:“并无。他们几人皆是四肢健全,瞧着颇是健硕。”

沈延川薄唇微掀,眼角眉梢却似是挂着霜意。

他淡道:“虽近些年无大战乱,然周边群狼环伺,戍边艰辛。能康健退伍的将士并不多,尤其还是这般年纪。”

连舟神色一紧:“主子的意思是……”

沈延川看向窗外,夜幕深沉,不见星月,唯有堆叠的乌云阴沉沉地下着雨。

树上枝叶随这风雨飘摇而落,横生的枝丫显得越发孤寂森凉。

片刻,他低笑一声,饶有兴致般懒声开口:
“这石滦城,有几分意思。”

就是不知道,是谁的手,已经伸到了这里?

……

这场雨第二日依旧没停。

沈延川便继续留了下来。

徐杰并未再派人来,大约是已经知道出师不利,便暂且缩了回去。

终于,到了下午的时候,雨总算小了些。

沈延川戴了一顶斗笠,便从二楼的窗户无声翻了出去。

待他再出现在长街之上的时候,赫然已经变成了另外一个人。

一张普通的青年面容,一袭宽大的黑色长袍,微微垂着头,斗笠遮掩了一半容貌,放在人群里实在是不起眼到了极点。

路面上积水深深浅浅,雨滴荡漾起圈圈涟漪,搅乱他水中挺拔的倒影。

他一路往城东而去。

连舟探来的消息,说那铁矿就在石滦城东南方向。

先前他们便是从东边而来,只是彼时下着大雨,他们并未注意到其他。

街道上没什么人,只偶尔几个路人匆匆擦肩。

“小姐,咱们得快些回去了,不然等会儿雨要是又下大了,可不好了!”

小丫鬟举着伞脆声开口,语气焦急。

与她同行的女子笑着应了一声:“好。”

闻得此声,沈延川脚步站定,回头看去。

侯爷的掌心娇是朵黑心莲
Author:

Heir of a traditional medical family, Ye Chutang rolled through life for a lifetime, only to unexpectedly die just as she was about to inherit. Reborn, she only wanted to be a slacker and live a carefree life. Unexpectedly, at the beginning, she suffered a critical blow: her parents and eldest brother were assassinated, leaving her with three younger siblings. The third brother was seriously injured, the fourth brother was in a coma, and there was also a baby crying for milk. She weighed the cold steamed bun in her hand, looked despairingly at the sky, and thought that managing three at once was worse than starting over. The little baby tugged at her pant leg. "Hungry." Ye Chutang: "..." Get up and work! ...Ye Chutang’s plan was perfect; once she raised the children, she could retire and enjoy her later years. Yet, a man had different intentions. "Miss Ye, after all these years, shouldn't there be an explanation?" Ye Chutang: "6." You used to linger at my doorstep and now it’s my fault? ... The Ye family was impressive: Ye Sanlang was the top scholar of the current dynasty, Ye Si-lang had made great military achievements in the northwest, and Ye Wu girl had a commercial empire rivaling the rich and powerful. Only Ye Er-girl was busy raising her younger siblings, unknowingly aging and facing difficulties in marriage. Until one day, the powerful Duke of Dingbei, Shen Yanchaun, arrived with a bridal procession ten miles long to welcome her. Ye Chutang remained silent for a long time. "This time, you take care of the kids."
