Walking around the bazaar, I was a little depressed.

I suppose even someone else would be as depressed as me, right?!

At least half of the purpose of this trip to the north of the town was frustrated.

Because I had planned a few things to do when I left the inn, it seemed that I couldn't do it.

In vain, I deliberately spent so long in the teahouse, and I kept waiting.

There was no other purpose, but to wait for the most prosperous time for trading in the bazaar to pass, and when it was time to sell.

As a result, while waiting, people almost caused trouble in the teahouse.

Fortunately, I figured out what happened, and it was a false alarm.

However, when I came out of the teahouse and returned to the market, I didn't wait for the right time.

Eight out of ten, nine times out of ten, life is not as expected.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and it seemed that I had to wear my big cotton robe, and then I had to wear two more to go to the Northland.

I've heard about the severe cold in the north, and I've heard many times about the situation over there from others.

I don't know if I'll have a chance to find the right clothes to protect myself from the cold before I get to the Northland.

I'm not too optimistic about where to stop on the road.

Looking back at the map, Nanhua Town went to the northeast, and a town of this size was almost impossible to see.

Scattered villages in the mountains.

The river passed through the Suzhou area, and there was no way to sail to the north, so there was only one option by land.

The weather gets colder and colder the further northeast I go, and I haven't even settled on a hitchhiker, and when I think about it, there is far more than one problem in front of me.

At the moment it seems that in the small town of South China. I don't want to go into the gambling house, I'm afraid there is no better way to solve the dilemma for a while.

Going to the casino? Don't go? Not a problem.

Because if I'm going, I'm definitely going to win some money. Just like the method I used before, I remember that when I was in Suzhou, it was very smooth, and it didn't take much time to do what I wanted to do.

In Suzhou, Ah Lai and Yuan Bao followed me, to the west of the city, there were carriages and guards. However, at the moment, I don't even have a guard around, so I can't help me in the slightest.

If you provoke someone who shouldn't be messed with in the gambling house, you will fight alone. I'm drunk when I think about it!

Going to the casino is not an easy decision to make, I have to think about the consequences!

One thought after another flashed through my mind, and after thinking about it, I couldn't make up my mind for a while, but I felt that my steps became a little heavy

I'm still walking in the market. Pedestrians passing by. The shouting on both sides was lively.

Following the crowd, I would occasionally stop and ask, and after one after another, I finally lost all interest in asking the mountain stall owners selling skins on the street.

I felt that I didn't need to have any more hope, so I could move slowly forward with the crowd.

The cries of selling in my ears are incessant, and every now and then someone stops to buy something.

As far as I could see, I saw that most of the pedestrians on the street were carrying the harvest they had bought at the market on their backs.

Among them, of course. There are also a small number of people who, like me, fail to achieve their intended goals.

The mood of those people was quite frustrated. Needless to say, the expression can also be seen.

When I look at those who are in a similar situation to me, I have a more or less sympathetic sense of sameness.

If the supply is less than the demand, the price will not be able to suppress what I want, and the situation is not something I can decide!

I walked aimlessly with the crowd, looking through the crowd and looking in the direction of the fork in the road, and when I had crossed the street, I made a detour back to the inn.

However, before I knew it, my pace slowed down a little, and how did the strange feeling I had before come back to it?

It doesn't feel good.

As I said, when walking through the crowds of people, according to my understanding, places like the bazaars are indeed the most lively and safe.

It was crowded with people, but I always felt that the eyes that I had suspected of hiding in the shadows were staring at me again.

You know, when I was in the teahouse, I thought that the aunt was the one who followed me in the market.

At that time, I was still nervous for a while, especially the moment the aunt walked towards me through the aisle of the teahouse, and I almost ran away.

The follow-up was something I didn't expect, my aunt's family is just a warm-hearted old neighbor!

It's just an old neighbor who lived in the alley where Wu Yu's family lived for a few years.

She was just looking for me to say a few words of greetings, not what I had feared at first.

Now that I came out of the teahouse and walked onto the route I had passed, the familiar feeling came back again.

I couldn't figure out why the other party hadn't followed me into the teahouse if they were really following me.

Generally speaking, following a person, the other party goes to a lively place, and it is natural to follow him.

If you don't keep up, maybe you will turn around and lose it, isn't that a waste of effort?

I'm pretty sure that when I was drinking tea and eating dim sum in the teahouse, although there were many people around me in and out of the teahouse, I didn't notice that there was a "tail" behind me.

The only anomaly that is wrong is the aunt, this matter has come to an end, don't think about it

Following the same routine, I stopped at the market a few times to cover up by squatting down to bargain with the stall owners.

I hoped to find out where the other person was hiding, or where he was, but I couldn't find the location of the sight.

In desperation, I decided to put aside my guesswork for the time being.

I can't buy anything at the right price here, so I'd better go back to the inn sooner.

Although I would also like to know if the stalker actually exists and what is the purpose of the other person?

I walked to a junction, looked left and right, stopped at the tea stall, drank a cup of hot tea, and took the opportunity to take the opportunity to look at the pedestrians around me again.

Then I handed the stall owner the teacup back and walked into the alley with a quicker pace

Ah Lai with his companions. The two guards went all the way from the inn in Nanhua Town to a time-honored restaurant in the town.

Most of the business travelers who came to Nanhua Town were concentrated here.

Almost everyone who stays in town for a long time will come here to taste the specialties and snacks of Nanhua Town.

The reputation of the restaurant is very good, and many people know it in Suzhou, and most of them have to stop and try it when they pass through Nanhua Town to the north.

Ah Lai and his companions went far to the corner of the street. I saw the lively flow of people in front of me.

Through the crowd, Ah Lai took his companion to the door of the restaurant along the street, he asked his companion to stop at the door, and planned to walk in to find a circle.

Ah Lai had just entered the restaurant, and the young man in the restaurant immediately came up to greet him warmly.

Ah Lai waved his hand, his expression was indifferent, and he said to the young man in a stiff tone: "I don't eat, I'm just here to find someone." ”

The young man was bored. scolded in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he could only leave in a sneering manner.

Stop inside the restaurant. Ah Lai looked around the hall on the ground floor, and did not find the two people he was looking for, but the business on the ground floor was excellent, and there were almost no empty seats after counting.

Then Ah Lai went up the wooden staircase to the upper floor.

The second floor is also similar to the bottom floor. A dozen tables were placed. The same full house.

Ah Lai looked around again, and didn't find anything suspicious, not to mention the traces of those two.

The three floors of the restaurant are all private seats, and the partitioned private rooms are not convenient to view one by one.

Fortunately, those guests in the private room ordered a lot of things, and they had a lot of money!

Even the specialties in the store are a few or a little bit, so the guys in the store deliver food in and out frequently.

Ah Lai stood outside the door of the private room in turn and watched the young man push the door in to deliver food, whenever the door looked. His eyes were keenly looking inside.

After looking through the private room on the third floor, he still couldn't find the person he was looking for.

Seemingly. It's true that it's not in the restaurant.

Ah Lai's expression sank and he walked down from the upper floor.

The companion who was waiting at the door of the restaurant had been blowing the cold wind for a while, and he was angry in his heart, and when he saw Ah Lai coming out, he immediately stepped forward.

As soon as he looked at Ah Lai's appearance, he knew that of course there was no harvest in the restaurant.

The companion didn't care about complaining, and was led by the hurried Ah Lai to the next place where he might stay, which was the street where the pharmacies in the town were located.

This time, two people went in to look for it together, and Ah Lai, with his companions, also keenly watched the guests who bought medicinal herbs in the pharmacy, and went around to find all the pharmacies on this street one after another.

None of the families saw anyone suspicious.

The search continues, the goal is the next round, but the hope is gradually slimming.

According to his own judgment, Ah Lai, a clothing shop and a tea shop, took his companions to almost half of Nanhua Town.

I couldn't find my goal, and I was disappointed.

Walking down the street, both of them looked a little depressed.

Ah Lai stood on the street for a moment, watching the passers-by, and then drank a bowl of hot tea from a street stall with his companions, and filled a few crude pieces of dim sum indiscriminately.

After eating, the two of them then went to the gambling house in the town.

The gambling house is arguably the most chaotic place in every place, and anyone can see it inside.

In the noisy atmosphere, there are not only local gamblers, but also past business trips who try their luck, in short, there is a lot of commotion.

Ah Lai and his companions carefully searched for it, and it took some time, but this time, it was also in vain.

Nanhua Town has found so many places, but he still can't find that Lin Gongzi, and his third young master is nowhere to be found.

The companion glanced at Ah Lai, turned his head sideways, and secretly gritted his teeth, then raised his head and whispered to him: "Hey, you've looked for it, it's time to die." ”

"Why don't we hurry back to Suzhou?"

His companion tried to ask him.

Seeing that Ah Lai was standing there without speaking, his face was gloomy, and he took care of himself and said, "That Lin Gongzi may have rushed to the north, but he may not be in the town." ”

"Didn't you say that he had been thinking about going to the Northlands?"

The companion glanced at Alaidao.

"As for, our third young master"

The companion stopped the topic, and suddenly did not know what to say, and there was no lack of contradiction in his heart.

One is because the third young master left the inn in the middle of the night, and he was somewhat responsible, when he fell asleep negligently, and did not listen carefully to the movement next door.

So much so that the third young master disappeared without knowing it.

Second, in his opinion, according to the third young master's strange temperament, it is really difficult to say where that master will be at this time!

Who could have guessed the mind of that master?!

The companion's eyes rolled, and he decided to bypass the previous topic, not wanting to set himself on fire, so he said to Ah Lai in a different direction. "When we came from Suzhou to Nanhua Town, you also saw that the mountain stream was swelling because of the rain." He frowned and muttered to himself.

"I don't know if the bridge is secure," said his companion, who said what he thought was the most important point, and a worried look appeared in his eyes.

They all know that the temporary bridge over the mountain stream is made of dead trees in the forest.

He paused and said to Ah Lai, "We'd better go back before it's dark." ”

Hearing this, Ah Lai's gaze fell coldly on his face and pursed his lips.

His companion was stared at by him, and his face couldn't help but stiffen, and then he said in a gentle tone: "The bridge on the mountain stream is not necessarily reliable, and besides, hurry early, it is not dark yet, and the road conditions can be better." “

Seeing that the gourd was silent, his companion said a little eagerly: "If you still want to find it, hurry up and change places!" "Think about it again, where did that Lin Gongzi like to go when you went to the west of Suzhou City," his companion stretched out his hand and patted Ah Lai on the shoulder, and said to him, "As long as you can think of it, go and see it in a hurry!" ”

His companion's eyes stared at him tightly, and when he saw that Ah Lai still didn't answer, his face suddenly turned pale.

He let go of his hand and took a step back, and said anxiously to Ah Lai: "In another hour, if you don't leave, I have to leave too." ”

What the hell is the stuffy gourd in front of you thinking, looking for it in the town, the companion is understandable, but it keeps consuming, there is no reason!

Even if Nanhua Town is small, if so many people just happen to meet the person they want to find, luck doesn't come by saying it.

"The people over there in Suzhou are still waiting," his companion met Ah Lai's eyes, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking for a while.

The companion glanced at him and then said in a serious tone, "The news here must be transmitted to the steward in the East Mansion of Suzhou as soon as possible." ”

Before going out, the Fu steward told him in private that the duty of the guard was to protect the safety of the third young master, and if there was a situation, he had to persuade the third young master to go back in time.

Right now, isn't the note left by the third young master in the inn room clear? Let the two of them go back to Suzhou City first today, and

"Since the third young master has given orders, you and I had better follow the instructions."

Ah Lai tilted his head and finally gave him a reply, only a simple word.

The expression on his face was hesitant, and after thinking for a moment, he pursed his lips and said, "Okay!" “

The companion was almost choked by the word stuffy gourd, he took a breath and said that the person in front of him is capable.

An unexpected reaction.

For a second, his companion felt that it was superfluous to say so much to him in front of him
