From nine o'clock in the morning, it was a little drowsy.

It is customary to have a heavy rain in early summer.

Drip!

The driver of the bus grabbed the airbag of the horn, and the brass horn on the right side of the front of the bus immediately made a screeching sound, warning the two young people in front of him to pull over to avoid accidents.

The man who wanted to walk outside seemed to be startled by this sudden sound, jumped inside, and happened to bump into his companion, and both of them stumbled for a while.

"Haha~ Lao Lu, I didn't see that you were so daring, and you could still be frightened by the sound of the horn?"

Zhou Ze, who was holding a set of pancakes in his hand, looked at Lu Jiu, who was overreacting, leaned against his shoulder, and said with a teasing smile.

"I'm just thinking about something else. ”

Although what happened at the station yesterday made Lu Jiu a little sensitive to similar voices now, he was really thinking about something else just now.

Yesterday afternoon's actions coupled with the evening's thinking, Lu Jiu had already decided to solve the most important problem of blood demand at the moment, as time went by, he could clearly feel that the blood in his body was being consumed, if he could not be replenished in time, the consequences would be needless to say.

So this morning, he asked the person in charge of the news in the pharmaceutical industry to help him collect some information about private pharmaceutical workshops, and he just thought about whether there were other ways for him to obtain special blood.

Of course, Lu Jiu didn't plan to share this matter with Zhou Ze, so he took the initiative to change the topic and said, "You said you wanted to take me out to find a new hot spot, but the result was to walk around the south of the city until now?"

Xu is because of the promotion, Zhou Ze's enthusiasm for work is quite high, this young master is quite concerned about the work of the interviewer, this morning just finished reviewing the manuscript handed over by other interviewers, and felt dissatisfied, so he wanted to drag Lu Jiu, who was sorting out the information of the private medicine workshop with others, to come out, saying that he wanted to dig out the hot spot himself.

Lu Jiu thought that maybe he could encounter something similar to a mourning crow, so he didn't refuse.

As a result, it was noon, and the two of them were only in a few tea shops and taverns in the south of the city.

"Don't worry, I actually made an appointment to meet at noon, and I just tried my luck before. ”

Regarding Lu Jiu's questioning, Zhou Ze still looked confident, and the former didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort himself that he had been out for so long, and now he had nothing to do when he went back, so he was right to go out for a walk.

After walking along the street for a while, Zhou Ze suddenly stopped, Lu Jiu was looking at a You Fang Langzhong with a bamboo box not far away, considering whether to go over to ask, and noticed that his companion had to stop with him.

"Our informant has arrived. ”

He pulled out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and turned to walk into the alleyway.

"Informant?"

Lu Jiu asked in surprise, he had never heard that the interviewer would still be looking for an informant.

When he saw a few people waiting in the alleyway, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Patched ragged clothes, messy hair that has not been taken care of for a long time, and the bamboo pole in his hand, Lu Jiu looked at the "informants" in front of him and maintained an embarrassed but polite smile.

Surprisingly, these beggars knew a lot of news.

"Uncle Zhou, the crow flock in the north of the city should not be poisoned, I asked the brothers over there, and they all said that they heard gunshots and explosions at night, and some people saw a stall truck that overturned, there was nothing to eat inside, and there was bird droppings underneath!"

The leader was an older beggar, who bowed his hand and spoke very neatly.

"Well, that's interesting news, take it. ”

Zhou Ze turned sideways and winked at Lu Jiu, and then took out a banknote with a face value of one hundred copper coins issued by the money bank and put it in the beggar's hand.

"If there's anything special about it, I want the kind of news that will be appealing. ”

"Yes, last night's Oiran parade, I don't know if you saw it?"

As if he had known that Zhou Ze would ask this question, the beggar rubbed his hands and asked rhetorically.

"It's just this once a month, and this one is particularly interesting, of course I watched it. ”

Zhou Ze replied very sincerely.

When it came to the Oiran parade, Lu Jiu, who was originally playing soy sauce next to him, immediately thought of the team he saw last night, and he was also a little energetic for a while, ready to hear what he could say.

"I have a few brothers, who specialize in begging for a living at the door of the Peony Building, and in recent days I heard that something happened in the Peony Building, and I can always hear someone shouting in the middle of the night...... Not the kind of scream, but the kind of scream that was scared. ”

Afraid that the two would misunderstand, the beggar first gestured with a gesture that a man understood, and then waved his hand in denial, and then said,

"Later, there were rumors that the guests who stayed in the Peony Building had several hairs pulled out, not one or two, but a large handful, which could be clearly seen, as if they had been gnawed by something, so the Peony Building even moved out of the big float yesterday, and let the current Oiran in the building come out to suppress the rumors, just to suppress the rumors that damaged their reputation. ”

"Lao Lu, how about this news, Peony Tower is the most famous Qinglou in Qingding City, and there must be a lot of people who are willing to watch the news related to it, do you want to take a look?"

Although it was an inquiring tone, judging from Zhou Ze's expression, it was obvious that he was eager to try, and he couldn't wait to rush over now.

"It does sound like there's a value in finding out, but it's just ...... Are you going to go now?"

In fact, Lu Jiu became interested when the beggar mentioned that there was something to "gnaw" people's hair, but in his impression, although most of the people in the Peony Building were Qing Qi people, belonging to the category of performing arts and not selling themselves, but in the end it was not an ordinary restaurant, and now it was too early to even go before noon.

"Of course not now, the tea fee in the newspaper has not yet been applied, the cost in the Peony Building is not small, and I said before that I would invite you to dinner, there is no other place in this Qingding City that is more fragrant than the food in the Peony Building." ”

As interviewers in charge of anecdotes, they undoubtedly had a larger amount to apply for tea than others, which was personally approved by the newspaper manager.

What else can Lu Jiu say about this?

In the memory of his predecessor, let alone the Peony Building, he had never been to the lower-level restaurant, first, he had no money, and second, he didn't have the courage, but Zhou Ze was different.

In the entire Yunling Newspaper Office, he can pat his chest and say that no one knows Peony House better than him.

But Lu Jiu did go to find the suspicious creature in the beggar's mouth.

He promised!
