On the river front

The man was gone, and in the midst of all the expectations, he drove the carriage and ran to the medicine hall with the strong man and the two women and girls.

After that, the workers glanced at the tomb left alone, and their faces were as solemn as if they were facing a great enemy.

After that, just as they were silently preparing to return to their posts and do what they had to do, the tomb stopped them.

"Do you know why the previous convoy was replaced?"

The tomb said coldly.

Hearing this, the workers turned around, and while they were slightly puzzled, they faced the tomb.

After a moment of contemplation, a voice came from among them: "We have only heard that they went in after committing a crime, but we do not know what it is." ”

"That's all you know?"

The grave asked again.

This time, the workers did not answer, but nodded their heads in unison, and a few "um" sounds were heard from time to time in the crowd, indicating that this was indeed the case.

Seeing this, the tomb thought for a while, and then said, "Where were you all recruited to do this job?"

"We were all ordinary fishermen on the river, and they came to tell us that there was work in the city that was suitable for us to do, and then we came. ”

One worker replied.

"When will the next time the convoy transport food return to the river?"

The grave then asked.

Hearing this question, the group in front of her also quickly answered: "Just tomorrow, maybe tomorrow morning." ”

This time, the tomb didn't ask anymore.

After a moment of silence, she continued: "Tomorrow I will go with this convoy to the river, to the other terminal opposite you, to find out the situation.

Is it feasible?"

Hearing this, the workers in front of her looked at each other, as if they didn't know how to answer.

Among them, a voice soon came out: "The conditions on the river are not good, you are still just a woman, can you afford it?"

Hearing this voice, a wave of unexplained doubts immediately rose in the bottom of the tomb's heart.

But soon, a worker who was in front of her immediately spoke up to dispel her mentality, and replied respectfully: "To be honest, we can't be the master, and it depends on how the transport team and the store that employs them make arrangements."

Other than that...... I just hope that if you don't catch up with this group of people tomorrow, they will go up the river, and you won't be angry with anyone in the future.

What do you think?"

Speaking of this, the man paused, and then continued: "After all, we can't delay the trip for you alone, and spoil the food on the car. ”

Hearing this, the tomb had no opinion, and then said, "Don't worry, I will."

Even if I don't catch up with this team tomorrow, I can wait for their next chance when they come back and not persecute anyone else. ”

Hearing this, the man on the other side of the tomb nodded and responded with a compliment.

After that, the tomb said, "As for now, there is nothing to do, you should do whatever you want." ”

Hearing this, the workers soon dispersed and returned to their posts, leaving the grave alone and standing still thinking about something.

She stayed there for a while, and then she came out of her mind and back to reality.

After that, she jumped out of the scene with a big jump, and after a while, she was back in the bustling city.

She didn't waste the slightest time here, and rushed straight towards the east gate of the city.

The first question about the convoy has been answered, and the second can wait until tomorrow morning.

Now, she plans to go to the port and ask the fishermen who are still there about the dockyard that has ceased to operate, and see if she can find any news.

She was particularly fast, and it wasn't long before she reached the riverside at the east gate of the city, and jumped down from the city wall to the nearest boat that was still lit.

In the blink of an eye, it was straight down to the target.

It was also at this time that a woman's voice came from inside the boat: "Hey, it looks like someone is coming outside." ”

It's a kind of vernacular, but it's not hard to understand.

Then, another male voice with the same accent rang out: "I'll take a look." ”

Immediately afterwards, I saw a shirtless, fat, and slightly strong man come out of the cabin.

He stood near the cabin, swept the puzzled faces of the visitors, and quickly froze as soon as he saw that the person who came was a tomb.

After a while, the expression changed to calm again.

At the same time, he took the initiative to ask in an ordinary accent that was not standard, "What do you want to do here?"

In fact, as early as he opened his mouth, the tomb almost spat out his intentions and questions with him.

It's just that in a very short moment, she noticed that the other party also wanted to say something, and restrained herself in time from speaking at the same time.

And now, after the man had finished his opening remarks, the grave asked in his own unique and lifeless context: "Do you know the dock to the north?"

As he spoke, the tomb gestured to the other party with a glance at the approximate location of the dock he had said.

At the same time, another woman in the cabin stepped out of the cabin.

It's just that just as she walked out, the first man to walk out of the cabin and block the front of the cabin deliberately blocked her behind him.

At first, the woman who was covered with black clothes and the smell of aquatic products did not understand what the other party meant.

But when she glanced around the man and scanned the outermost tomb, she understood everything.

Immediately after, he honestly stayed behind the man, casting a vague look at the tomb in front of him.

Speaking of the man who confronted the tomb, after listening to the first question of the tomb, he also subconsciously glanced at the direction that the tomb had just indicated.

Then, he responded without showing a look: "You know, what's wrong?"

Hearing this, the tomb asked again neatly: "Have you ever noticed that a team of fresh food transporters that have been transporting fresh food and vegetables back and forth between the city and the river all year round is very close to the dock?"

Hearing this, the man replied without hesitation: "You have noticed, what?"

Tomb: "Do you know what that might be the reason? Even if it's just a guess, just listen to it." ”

Man: "I don't know, we don't want to care about those who have it or not." ”

Tomb: "Have you ever patronized the dockyard?"

Man: "Yes." ”

Grave: "Didn't you really notice anything unusual in that dock?"

Man: "I really didn't see anything wrong. ”

He shook his head as he said this.

But soon, before the tomb could even ask the next question, he said in a tone that seemed to be complaining: "If there is anything wrong, it is probably just that they have stopped operating this winter." ”

"Do you know when they stopped operating?"

The grave then asked.

This time, the man looked at the sky and thought deeply, and after a while, he gave an answer: "About ten days ago......

It seemed that he hadn't finished what he wanted to say, but at this time, the tomb interjected: "Is it when I made a big fuss and uncovered the inside story of the trading corpse?"

Hearing this, the man immediately said with a look of sudden realization: "Yes, it was almost that time. ”

At this point in the conversation, the tomb had actually gotten almost all the clues she wanted, and now, she was going to ask one last question.

Tomb: "Do you know who the dock belongs toβ€”and where all the people are now?"

This time, the man seemed to think carefully for a while, but in the end, he only spit out: "I don't know." ”

Hearing this answer, the tomb didn't seem to behave unusually, but spit out a sentence without anger: "Okay, got it", and then made a big jump back to the shore.

Look for the next boat that appears to be left behind, and prepare to continue the interrogation.

In fact, the last answer given by the man did not cause any psychological fluctuations in the tomb's heart.

On the contrary, if they could know this and tell themselves, then she would probably be suspicious.

After all, then everything would be too smooth.

So, just like that, the tomb kept going from the first half of the night to the second half of the night.

It wasn't until there was really not a single lighted boat on the river bank that she really returned to the shore.

At this time, the city was no longer full of noise that could be heard in the first half of the night.

Standing in the endless darkness and silence, the tomb prepares to return to the fresh food supplier to see how the convoy is ready.

In fact, her original plan was to stay here until dawn, expecting to wait here for the arrival of the convoy, and then she would follow herself.

But at that time, she ignored the fact that mortals need to rest, and most of them have to rest at night, but sooner or later.

And while she could still wait for the convoy to arrive as she had originally intended, she wasn't the kind of person who could wait quietly for something to come her way.

It is not the same thing to endure the loneliness of walking alone, and to endure the boredom of waiting for inaction.

So she left, ran straight over the walls to the city, and went straight in the direction she had in mind.

On the city wall, the city guards set up by the Law Enforcement Hall could only sigh when they saw the tombs that entered and exited the city at will, and they could not do anything.

Just as when he rushed out of the city, this time, the tomb also rushed back to the city very quickly, back to the destination of his heart.

In the walled open space, it now looks bustling.

Because in addition to the workers who were responsible for loading and unloading the goods, the people of the transport team also returned here.

As usual, they were inspecting their horses, carts, and goods loaded with food by the workers.

After seeing the tomb that jumped from somewhere, everyone in the field first subconsciously glanced in her direction, and then silently buried their heads in their duties.

But when the tomb entered them, one of the people closest to her glanced at her and said, "You want to go up the river with us to have a look." ”

Hearing this, the tomb replied without anger: "Yes, is it feasible?"

Hearing her say this, the man smiled, and the faces of the others around him also showed a smile that did not symbolize joy, either obvious or implicit.

At the same time, he said: "It is feasible, how can it not be done."

The big brother who started all this was killed by your god of killing last night, and how dare we say a word, huh. ”
