Chapter 22: The Mysterious Tailor's Shop

According to the old turtle's words, Bai Qi and Zhang Shaoyu drove to the big market in the east of Yandu early the next morning, while Bai Ling and Li Yanfei stayed in the shop, Bai Qi has lived in Yandu for a long time, but he has never been to or even heard of such a large market in the eastern suburbs of Yandu.

"It looks like it's a lot busier than in the city center. Zhang Shaoyu said teasingly.

Bai Qi nodded, parked the car in the parking space of the market, it looks chaotic, it seems to sell everything, but if you look closely, you can find that the market is growing in a progressive order, from the beginning of the early shop, to the cooked food stall inside, roast duck and chicken, and then there are several forks in the road, one sells fresh vegetables and fruits, one sells hardware and daily groceries, anyway, the classification is very regular, but after a few turns, Zhang Shaoyu and Bai Qi did not find the cloth shop in the old turtle's mouth.

Most of the people who come here to buy things are some women who do housework or some old people who get up early to walk and buy vegetables, Zhang Shaoyu and Bai Qi are a little out of place with the morning market here, and they are not embarrassed to catch a passerby and ask, because it seems that the people around them look at the two people a little strangely, and it is true that Zhang Shaoyu and Bai Qi are wearing a pair of black sunglasses, Bai Qi's is okay, Zhang Shaoyu's sunglasses are very large, as if covering half of his face.

"Hey, don't you think...... It's a little awkward, or is it a little different from what I imagined?" Zhang Shaoyu asked Bai Qi cautiously.

Bai Qi looked around carefully, nodded, and said, "It's a little different, it doesn't look like a high-end fabric shop here at all." ”

"The old turtle is very old, and if we don't say it's old and confused, maybe it's saying that there was a great fabric shop here a long time ago, and now it's a big change here, maybe it's long gone. Zhang Shaoyu said.

Bai Qi didn't answer, it's really a bit big here, and the two of them haven't even finished a quarter of the day in half a day, if they return to the court now, whether it is Bai Qi or Zhang Shaoyu, there must be some unwillingness in their hearts.

At this moment, Zhang Shaoyu set his eyes on the innermost part of the fork in the intersection where gloves and socks were sold, and in the crowded street, there seemed to be another black plaque: Pinzheng Tailor Shop.

Zhang Shaoyu lightly touched Bai Qi with his hand, and pointed to the pure black plaque in the innermost part of the market with the tip of his chin, Bai Qi frowned and looked at it for a while before asking Zhang Shaoyu: "Is this it?"

"Try your luck!" Zhang Shaoyu finished speaking, and without waiting for Bai Qi to answer, he walked quickly to the tailor shop.

For some reason, the bustling bazaar, the further you went, the fewer people there became, and when you came to the front of this tailor's shop, there were few people around, and even if anyone passed by, they did not look up at this delicately decorated tailor's shop.

In front of the door, there was a very conspicuous large doorbell, Zhang Shaoyu pressed it, the doorbell made a crisp sound, after a while, a small head poked out of it, it was a little girl, about six or seven years old, very cute, big eyes dripping around, looked at Zhang Shaoyu and Bai Qi, and said in her child's unique voice: "The shopkeeper is not here today, do you have anything to do?"

Zhang Shaoyu looked at this little girl, marveled at her cuteness, leaned over, and said to her: "I'm not looking for your shopkeeper, I'm looking for you, can you open the door first and let me in?"

Bai Qi looked at Zhang Shaoyu with an unserious face, and said in his heart that it would be strange if the little girl let you in, looking at your appearance, you are not a human trafficker, and you are also a fugitive suspect.

The little girl looked Zhang Shaoyu up and down for a while, and asked suspiciously: "I don't recognize you, what are you looking for me?"

Bai Qi frowned, the innocence of the little girl made Bai Qi feel very cute, but Bai Qi was a little puzzled, the current children, one by one, are very shrewd, the old people in the family teach them how to be sinister outside, how not to easily believe the words of strangers, those children who have been instilled with such thoughts, are also like little hedgehogs, blowing up the thorns on their bodies to defend, not letting any stranger approach him.

Although this kind of education can indeed make children who are not familiar with the world protect themselves in some aspects, but Bai Qi feels that this kind of education method obliterates the child's curious nature from another angle, if any stranger in this world and this society is untrustworthy and a liar, then who should they believe?

Many times the knights, adults just think about the problem too simply, they think that as long as their children don't lose it, don't be abducted by the bad guys, then everything will be fine, but they don't know how much negative information this kind of education will bring to children.

But the little girl in front of her is completely different, she looked at Zhang Shaoyu's eyes, there was some curiosity, some doubts, and more, it was her trust in Zhang Shaoyu, Bai Qi knew that such a big child, from her words and deeds, she could see what kind of person she was getting along with day and night, if the parents of this little girl were really the person they were looking for, then this person should also be an approachable goblin, even if it wasn't, it wouldn't be difficult to get along with.

"Can you let me in first?" Zhang Shaoyu was still coaxing the little girl.

"Grandpa said you can't just let people in. The little girl hesitated for a while, and said to Zhang Shaoyu with some embarrassment.

Bai Qi felt that this place was the place he and Zhang Shaoyu were looking for, so he whispered softly to the little girl: "Little girl, please go in and tell your grandfather, just say that there is an important guest outside, please be sure to meet him." After speaking, Bai Qi took out a piece of wafer chocolate from his pocket.

The little girl took the wafer chocolate, looked at it for a while, seemed to be reading the words on it, and when she understood, she happily said to Bai Qi and Zhang Shaoyu: "You two wait here for a while, I'll ask the shopkeeper." Then he trotted all the way into the yard.

"Looking through the crack in the door, it's really not small. Zhang Shaoyu said to Bai Qi. Then he patted Bai Qi on the shoulder and teased: "You kid really has a set of coaxing children, why do you still bring a piece of candy with you?"

Bai Qi smiled and said, "Ho....... I brought it for myself, but looking at the layout of this place, and recalling the structure of the building outside when we came, it shows that this courtyard is really not small, but the business here doesn't seem to be very good. Bai Qi looked at the black plaque on his head and said to Zhang Shaoyu.

"Cut ......" Zhang Shaoyu cut disdainfully and said, "Is the pet store you opened doing well? Or do you want it to do well?"

Bai Qi laughed, of course he understood what Zhang Shaoyu meant, many goblins are hidden in the city, they opened a storefront, it is nothing more than to hide people's eyes, the drunkard's intention is not to drink, these many shops that have a bad business but have been operating must have some other secrets.

While the two were talking, the little girl ran out and said, "Come in, my grandfather...... Oh no, our shopkeeper said to let you go to the front hall to rest first, knowing that you didn't have breakfast, and you have already let the kitchen make breakfast. ”

After entering from the double red lacquer door at the door, the house is a completely different scene, strange birds singing in the yard, they are not locked in cages, but in the yard between the flowers and rockery fountains frolicking and chasing, a lot of garden artworks are placed in the yard, although Bai Qi and Zhang Shaoyu do not understand, but it can also be seen that the grass and trees here, a mountain and a water, are carefully designed.

And the more you go inside, the more you will find that this place is really not ordinarily big, enough to catch up with the mansions of ancient princes and nobles, the door of the side room, is a square stone table, the four sides of the stone table and four stone chairs that can not be moved, the stone table is carved with a chessboard of Go, and there are wooden boxes containing chess pieces on both sides.

Zhang Shaoyu looked at the stone chessboard carefully, and was amazed to find that this is a whole piece of marble, not only the tabletop, the entire stone table is a whole piece of marble, and if you look closely, you will find that every line on the chessboard is carved with stone, the depth of the carving, so that Zhang Shaoyu secretly palpitated, the texture of the stone table is very round, it can be seen that the carving is very careful, such a thing, even if it is placed in the museum and is exhibited as a work of art, it is not surprising. But now it is in the house of a tailor's shopkeeper. Looks like it's still in use.

The little girl saw all the performances of Zhang Shaoyu and Bai Qi, she led the way in front, and when Bai Qi and Zhang Shaoyu stopped to look at the things in the yard, she also stopped, neither explaining nor stopping, and let them watch.
