Chapter 14 Diagram Poor Dagger

"Can the guest officer eat well?" Just when Zhong Hou finished finishing the last bowl of noodles, the guy appeared in front of him very appropriately, and asked with that enthusiastic look.

Zhong Hou casually wiped the clothes on his mouth, and responded vaguely: "Okay, okay, thank you for the hospitality, I still have something to do and I'll leave first." After speaking, he found that the shopkeeper also appeared next to him at some point, and only then did Zhong Hou officially look at the shopkeeper in front of him.

I saw that the other party was full of belly, round head and round brain, and there was a Maitreya Buddha-like smile on the corner of his mouth, which made people full of joy when they saw it.

I only heard him say: "Young man, go slowly, the old man still has some things to talk to the young man." ”

"The store didn't want to ask me for money, did they? No matter how stupid this clock is, he can see the clues, and sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world, but he still pretended to be stupid and asked.

"It's not... No... said that this meal is absolutely free of order, and the old shop has been open for decades since its ancestors, and this credibility is still there. ”

"Oh, that's good. Is there anything the store wants to tell me?" to avoid the other party from finding himself suspicious, Zhong Hou showed a relieved expression at the right time.

"Actually, it's not a special thing, I just want to ask the young man for a small favor. The shopkeeper rubbed his hands together and said a little embarrassed.

Zhong Hou thought about it, although it was weird, but after all, it was a meal for nothing, so it was better to listen to what the other party said before deciding, so he asked: "I don't know if the store needs my help, if I can, I will be happy to serve you." ”

"Hehe, thank you for being so old. In fact, we have a cooperative merchant, and recently we have been in arrears for our goods, you see that we have a small business and can't afford to toss. But everyone has cooperated for so long, and they are embarrassed to come to the door to collect the debt, so I want to ask the young man to help me with this and get the account back. After speaking, he handed the bill to Zhong Hou.

Zhong Hou took it and looked at it. Each bill clearly states that on a certain day, a certain month, and a certain year, how many noodles were sent, and how much money was owed.

After seeing the bill, Zhong Hou's vigilance was lowered slightly.

He looks like a tiger, especially after practicing Changquan, his muscles are full of explosiveness, which makes people know at a glance that he is not a master to be messed with.

If the shopkeeper had this idea when he first saw his appearance, then it must be a lie that the hundredth customer can be exempted today.

If that's all there is, Zhong Hou doesn't have to worry about the other party.

To be honest, when I went to collect the accounts in my own appearance, the other party really didn't dare not give it.

Since he ate thirty bowls of noodles from the other party, this little favor was indeed really small, and Zhong Hou couldn't think of a reason to refuse.

He quickly thought he understood the truth, and after thinking for a moment, he agreed.

However, the shopkeeper seemed to be a little hesitant when he saw Zhong Hou, and couldn't wait to take the first step and said, "If Shaoxia takes back all the accounts, this thing will be given to you." ”

"The store invited me to a meal, how can I be embarrassed to accept your old things. Don't worry, I promised to do it, and I will help you get it back later. ”

"Hehe, why don't you see what this is first. ”

What else could this be, isn't it just a broken bowl?

I saw it when you always held it in your hand, what else is there to see?

Although I'm not greedy for your things, but you really want to give it a little sincerity, what does it mean to send a broken bowl?

Zhong Hou muttered in his heart, but he still took the broken bowl very politely on the surface, picked it up and took a good look at it. Immediately, he found that there was something unusual about it, and the bottom of the broken bowl was actually printed with the unique mark of the Situ family.

He understood everything.

Why does the rule say that you can't be complained about by the people of the city? Isn't it precisely because the clues to the target items you are looking for fall on the common people?

And you can't use force, you must do the task according to the other party's requirements, otherwise you will be eliminated if you are complained by the other party.

Zhong Hou thought that he had found the truth, but he didn't think about it, so many contestants, why didn't this shopkeeper choose someone else and choose him? And how did this shopkeeper know that he was one of the contestants?

Don't say that you have eaten the other party's meal in vain, just talking about this target item, Zhong Hou must take over the other party's task.

So after asking for specific information, Zhong Hou took the bill to the merchant who owed the debt.

After Zhong Hou left, the shopkeeper and the guy both showed relieved expressions.

The process of asking for accounts was very smooth, and the boss of the other party saw Zhong Hou's appearance, and obediently took out the money without saying a word.

When I returned to the noodle shop, the restaurant was closed, and the previous notice was still posted outside the door.

Zhong Hou didn't think much about it, since the noodles had been sold out, it was not normal for the other party not to close the door.

So I came to the door and knocked a few times.

Soon, the door of the noodle shop was opened.

But what appeared in front of Zhong Hou was neither a shopkeeper nor a buddy, but a young girl in her twenties.

The girl was dressed very plainly, and there was no trace of makeup on her face, but she looked even more beautiful.

The two sides looked at each other for half a second, and then asked, "Is the store there?" and "Who are you?"

"You must be my father's little brother who asked him to help collect the bills. ”

Zhong Hou nodded and said, "It turns out that you are the daughter of the store." ”

The girl smiled sweetly and said, "Little brother, please go inside and have a cup of tea." ”

Facing the girl with such a sweet smile, Zhong Hou did not have the slightest defense, and followed the girl into the store. Seeing that there were rags and mops in the store, and there were still some undried water traces on the ground, it was estimated that the girl should have been cleaning just now.

Sitting down casually, Zhong Hou asked, "What about your father?"

The girl didn't answer immediately, but closed the door of the noodle shop again before saying, "My father is busy in the back, and I'll come out later, I'll pour you a glass of water first." ”

"Thank you. ”

Soon, the girl slowly walked in front of Zhong Hou with a pot of tea.

When Zhong Hou heard the movement, he naturally set his eyes on the girl.

But at this time, the girl happened to walk past the place where there were water marks on the ground, and as soon as her feet slipped, the whole person fell backwards with her face up.

What's even more unfortunate is that the girl's back is the corner of a table, and if she falls like this, she will have to be splashed with blood on the spot, and she will be seriously injured if she doesn't die at that time.

Seeing this, Zhong Hou didn't have time to think about it, it was important to save people, so he rushed over with an arrow step, stretched out his hand to hold the other party's thin waist, and then took advantage of the situation to support the other party's body.

It's just that the expected thank you didn't appear, but I heard the girl suddenly let out a terrible exclamation: "Help... ”

Hearing the girl shouting for help, Zhong Hou hurriedly let go of his hand, but how could the girl let him succeed. grabbed Zhong Hou's clothes with one hand, and with the other hand, he actually ripped his clothes open, revealing the white skin inside.

The girl's father came at this time, still holding a kitchen knife in his hand, and the other guys in the store also rushed out after the shopkeeper with various tools.

And the girl pushed Zhong Hou away in a timely manner, and while sorting out her clothes, she threw herself into the arms of the shopkeeper with rain and said, "Daddy, he... He... He thinks ... ”
