Chu He knelt on the cold road and looked at Chi Yi with a pale face, probably because he was in a hurry, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

"Childe, please" Chu He walked all the way, and after kneeling down, he didn't even breathe before he spoke.

"Get up first, and speak slowly if you have something to say." Chi Yi also reacted when he heard him speak, interrupted what he didn't finish, and reached out and pulled him up directly.

"Childe" Chu He didn't dare to insist, he stood up with Chi Yi's strength, and as soon as he stood up straight, he felt a warm internal force flowing out of Chi Yi's hand. Following the meridians on his arm, he turned around in his body, and after the internal force flowed, the fatigue of his days of running back and forth was instantly swept away.

Chu He's spirit suddenly perked up, and he couldn't help but glance at Chi Yi gratefully, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Son." ”

"It's okay, just say anything." Chi Yi saw that his face had obviously improved a lot, so he withdrew his hand and stood on the side of the road.

Chu He responded, sorted out his thoughts a little, and told him what had happened.

This matter has to start from Chu He's life experience.

Chu He was originally from Qingshui County, his parents were absent as soon as he was born, and he grew up by eating hundreds of family meals. It wasn't until he was five years old that he was adopted by a family surnamed Chu in the county and renamed Chu He that his life became better.

But then he was taken away by traffickers when he went out to play.

Originally, he was going to be sold, but he didn't expect to meet Chi Yi who was going out and wandering, so he was rescued by Chi Yi. After being saved, he didn't go back to the Chu family, so he has been living in the Yin and Yang Valley, but he still misses the people of the Chu family in the end.

So a few days ago, Chi Yi asked him to form an intelligence organization, and he went back to the Chu family under the pretense of being a public servant.

Chu He said while peeking at Chi Yi's face from time to time, and seeing that Chi Yi did not show any displeasure for his fake public welfare and concealment, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to speak.

Unexpectedly, the subordinates learned that the Chu family had moved away not long ago, and the subordinates asked the neighbors around them, and they all said that they were going to move to Yunxiu Town. So the subordinates rushed all the way back to Yunxiu Town. Speaking of this, Chu He's face became ugly, "But the subordinates have never heard from them in Yunxiu Town, and the subordinates suspect that they were arrested by this black shop on the way here!" ”

Chi Yi raised his head when he heard this. Looking in the direction of Chu He's finger, he saw a tavern not far ahead.

"It's a black shop again"

Chi Yi sighed, turned his head and saw the pleading look on Chu He's face, so he nodded to him comfortingly, and led everyone to the tavern.

I'm afraid this tavern has been open for a long time.

Ji Yi walked up to him, looked up at the tavern, and thought to himself when he looked at the shabby signs above that were so dirty and even the names were blurred.

This tavern is broken like this, will there really be customers willing to come in?

Seeing Chi Yi stop and look at the signboard on the door, Zhou Shen took the first step, and together with Yingrong, he rolled up the greasy and blackened bamboo curtain at the entrance of the tavern for Chi Yi, and went inside to say hello, "Is anyone there?" ”

Ying Rong also followed the probe to look inside, and found that the layout inside the tavern was very consistent with the shabby appearance outside. The furnishings in the room are very old, the light is a little dim, the tables and chairs can clearly show signs of aging and damage, there is no one in front of the counter, and the store does not know where to go.

Ying Rong wrung her eyebrows unhappily, how could such a dilapidated and dirty tavern let her young master in?

But Chi Yi still came in very calmly, although he was raised a little squeamish after the crossing, but he was also an otaku who was keen on eating roadside stall skewers, and he had never been to a place worse than this environment.

He walked in along the bamboo curtain that was opened by Yingrong and the others, and his eyes turned around the not spacious room, and then stared at the inner room that was blocked by a curtain on the side of the room.

There's a bloody smell that hasn't been dissipated yet.

Chi Yi stared at the curtain for a while, and then looked away.

The inside of the tavern is mostly a kitchen for cooking, and it is normal for there to be blood in it, but after listening to what Chu He said before, this shop is likely to be a black shop, and Chi Yi can't help but be a little suspicious.

"Shop! Store! ”

After Chi Yi walked in with the group, Zhou Shen walked to the counter, reached out and knocked on the table, and shouted.

"It's coming, it's coming."

After a while, a woman in green came out of the room.

A group of people heard the sound and looked at it, and saw that this woman was thirty or forty years old, with black and yellow skin and a strong body, but she was wearing a long water-red gown, a pair of autumn-colored Song pants underneath, and a wide belt tightly tied around her waist, which looked quite strange.

"Oh, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting." As soon as the woman came out, she apologized to them.

As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed a rag, walked to the window in a few steps, picked a table that looked the cleanest, wiped the table and chairs carefully, and kept talking, "It's hard to do business in the cold these days, and there have been no customers in this store for a long time, so I was lazy for a while, and I never thought that I would neglect the distinguished customers." ”

"It's okay, we'll have to hurry in a while, so if you have anything to eat here, hurry up."

Chi Yi watched her finish wiping, then sat down at the table and said to her, Yingrong Xia Lelanfu and Zhou Shen also sat down with him.

"Okay, please wait." The woman answered with a full mouth, and wiped out the adjacent table neatly, invited the rest of the Hebo to take a seat, then dropped the rag and went to get the pot of tea, poured the tea for them one by one, and then turned and left, and went into the room again with a curtain.

Looking at the tea that she put in front of her, Chi Yi and his party didn't move, and everyone listened to what Chu He said before. Everyone is wary of this store.

Seeing the woman leave, everyone at the table looked at him. Hei Bo understood, reached out and picked up the tea and smelled it, took a sip and felt it on the tip of his tongue, and then shook his head to everyone and swallowed the tea.

"There's no poison in the tea." Here, Xia Lelan also whispered.

"It's good if it's not poisonous." Chi Yi also took a sip of the teacup, of course this tea will not be a good tea, after Chi Yi came here, he was fed by Yingrong every day, and the more his mouth was raised, the more he was raised, and now he drank a sour and inferior tea, he immediately frowned, and silently put the tea bowl down again.

Ying Rong also picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and then put it down silently, no one spoke for a while, and suddenly seemed a little cold.

It wasn't long before the woman came out with a tray and placed several large plates of food on the table with her hands and feet, and the dishes were identical on both tables. I don't know how they did it so quickly. The woman smiled and talked to them while swinging back, her eyes wandering inadvertently on everyone, and finally settled on Chi Yi's body, "The small shops in the mountains and fields are all coarse tea and light rice, which makes the distinguished guests smile." ”

Chi Yi watched her movements silently, and placed a large pot of cabbage stew, a plate of vegetarian fried radish, and a plate of neatly cut red sauce meat on the table, and the woman brought a plate of steaming dough. Although there are not many dishes, the portions are full of flavor, and the smell is appetizing.

Chi Yi glanced at the woman, and saw that she was still standing aside and smiling to see that they had no intention of leaving, so he reached out and took a piece of dough cake, and chatted with her casually, "Why are you busy alone in this store, and there is no one else?" ”

"Returning to the guest officer, this shop is opened by the slave family's grandson, and on weekdays, the slave family runs it together with the minister, but today it is unfortunate that the minister is sick, and only the slave family can come out to entertain everyone." The woman explained to him, and then sighed, as if very sorrowful.

She pulled out a handkerchief from her sleeve, lowered her head and raised her little finger to press the corner of her eye with the handkerchief, clearly wiping her tears. Chi Yi couldn't help but look at her, but he couldn't help but see that the woman was also looking at him, her eyes were full of water, shy and timid.

Chi Yi suddenly looked away as if he was on fire, and the dough cake he had been holding in his hand was also put down.

Ancient people were originally aging faster than modern people. This is especially true of the common people who lack maintenance and work every day, and although the woman in front of her is in her thirties and forties, her skin is already loose and wrinkles are obvious.

A stout aunt threw a small handkerchief and cried and threw flattering eyes at him

Chi Yi silently covered his stomach, feeling that he really needed to be quiet.

But the aunt in front of her didn't notice Chi Yi's disgust. Before she met, the delicately handsome young man put down the dough cake and frowned, thinking that it was because the rich boy was pampered and unwilling to eat these things, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward and approached Chi Yi again, and persuaded everyone to eat with a smile.

"In this winter, there is nothing to eat, but the guest officer, you look at this sauce meat, but the slave family has caught the wild boar sauce from the wild, and this ordinary person is reluctant to give them to eat when he comes to the slave family, so the guest officer should try it."

A beautiful boy is a beautiful boy, and his frowning looks are so good-looking, the woman said, her eyes wandered vaguely on Chi Yi, and her eyes became even brighter.

Although she was persuading everyone to eat, the woman's eyes stayed on Chi Yi, and her increasingly obvious appearance even noticed Ying Rong, who was coarse on the side.

Of course, Chi Yi could also feel it, he listened to the woman quietly, and suddenly asked her, "This shop looks like it's been around for a long time, have you been working here for a long time?" ”

The woman only looked at Chi Yi, and didn't care about what he said, just responded with a smile, "It's not too long, it's eight or nine years, this shop was sold by my father-in-law from someone else!" ”

Before the woman finished speaking, Leng Buding was struck in the face by Chi Yi in a large basin of cabbage stew, and the hot soup that had just come out of the pot was poured on her face, and the woman immediately screamed.

"Brute!" As soon as Chi Yi moved, everyone else also got up, Ying Rong pulled out his sword and directly smashed the table, and the food on the table instantly crackled and fell to the ground.

"What's wrong! What happened? Hearing the movement, the curtain in the inner room moved, and a stout man with a bare arm came out with a knife and lifted the curtain.

"Heh, didn't you say before that you were the only one in the store?" Chi Yi glanced at him and said to the woman who was still covering her face and crying, her tone full of mockery and murderous intent.
