Chapter 404: A Turning Point on the Street
The squire turned around in my sight. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, at that moment just now, his gaze ...... I've seen it on the Dark Guard's body before.
"Xiaolin, let's get out of the house first, and then we'll talk about it when we get to the street."
Master Wan looked unclear.
When he spoke to me, it was still in a flat tone.
I nodded and made eye contact with him.
Then I followed them to the side door of the house.
When I looked closely, there was more than just the four guards at the door standing there.
The number of guards was expected.
It was similar to what we saw on the first day we arrived at the house.
This time, Yuan Xiu would appear here early in the morning, I didn't expect it!
A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and the next moment her expression changed, and she couldn't help but shift her gaze to Master Wan and the attendant.
Yuan Xiu looked at them with some confusion, and before long, she walked over to me.
I think she must have seen the doorway.
"Xiaolin, so early, you ...... now. Are you planning to go out on the street? ”
Yuan Xiu walked up to me and asked in a low voice.
"That's right, I followed Master Wan and the people sent by Master Liu to buy on the street."
I paused, looked at her and asked, "Yuan Xiu...... How could you be here? ”
"Over there in the flower garden...... Don't you have to do things? ”
I looked at her and asked again, hesitantly.
In the past few days, the gardener's legs and feet have been inconvenient, and a lot of chores to be done in the flower garden have fallen on Yuan Xiu's body.
It stands to reason that Yuan Xiu should be very busy.
Yuan Xiu looked at me and said, "Xiaolin, my grandfather asked me to come over in the morning, and there are guards at the door who we know." ”
"I just said a few words, I'm leaving soon, Xiaolin."
I looked at her and said in a gentle tone: "Well, I can't delay, I have to follow Master Wan and them, see you later!" Yuan Xiu. ”
I walked around Yuan Xiu's side, and I caught a glimpse of the guards and the attendant all turning their eyes to us.
I behaved more calmly, as for Yuan Xiu...... She was a little nervous.
She gestured to me, her lips moved, and she whispered the words "Shun'an Tang".
Then, Yuan Xiu turned around and walked towards the house.
I looked at her back and shook my head helplessly.
Saying...... She can see that there is more than one Master Wan by my side, will I have a chance to go over when I get to the street?
...... Master Wan and I dealt with the guards guarding the door again.
It's just that this time it's a little different.
Because Master Wan and I were led to the door by an attendant in the house, not just the two of us.
At this time and at that time, Chen Xiang, who had no sharp teeth around us, followed us.
The attendant stepped forward and said a few words to the guard, his tone was gentle, and on the surface he sounded like a very amiable person.
I stood aside, unable to concentrate, and couldn't help but look back at the path I had walked.
When Yuan Xiu went back to the flower garden, he went in a different direction.
She also went around the yard where the craftsmen lived, and walked back to the flower garden!
No one else was behind us.
However, when I think about it, I always feel that when I pass through that forest, it will not be empty.
Master Wan didn't hear clearly, it was because he didn't see the squire's expression and some details.
At that time, I followed the squire, and the focus was always on him, and I could see it all the better.
...... It was just dawn, and the wind was blowing in the streets, mixed with a chill.
Out of the house to the street, there are not many people passing by in the north of the town.
The empress has been living in the mansion north of the town since she hit Beidi Town.
I didn't bring up the previous scene.
Master Wan didn't take the initiative to ask.
The three of them walked down the street for a while along the long street, then through the alley to the south of town.
The place where Master Wan is going, after our discussion, decided to set it in the south of the town.
The closer we are to the house, the faster we can get back, but we all wish we could have walked around town.
If you want to find a topic to distract the squire, you must at least talk to him and get acquainted with each other.
...... I squinted at the pedestrians passing by on the street.
Occasionally, his eyes would fall on Master Wan and the attendant who were walking and talking in front of him.
When the guy came out of the house, he didn't look at me strangely.
However, at this moment, when he was talking to Master Wan, he still seemed to be a little absent-minded, as if he was thinking about something.
Master Wan asked him, "You all came from the capital city later, did you take the waterway?" ”
The attendant looked at him and responded, "Take a boat to Suzhou, and then turn to the land, it's faster." ”
The great rivers near the Northlands are frozen and not navigable during this season.
Therefore, to choose the fastest way, it can only be the national capital to Suzhou waterway, and Suzhou to the north and then take the land route.
Because it is reasonable, Master Wan and I are not surprised when I hear it.
Master Wan asked, "I heard that Suzhou is here, and the mountain road is very difficult to walk...... During this period of rainy and snowy weather, the road was delayed, right? ”
"I traveled day and night, and I didn't stop much, just to get there early."
The squire replied again.
This time, as he spoke, he glanced back at me.
My eyes were focused on another place.
As I walked down the street, I looked at a shop that had just opened, and it was a shop that sold breakfast.
We haven't gotten to the pharmacy yet.
But I estimate the hour...... The pharmacy should be open as well.
Yuan Xiu mentioned to me that he was going to go to the shop when I had the opportunity to come out, and he also took the initiative to say a lot of good things for the young owner.
I met her at the gate of the house in the morning, and when I was leaving, Yuan Xiu reminded me of the matter of Shun'an Hall.
The problem is that there are two other people with me at the moment, and Master Wan is okay to say, it must be inconvenient for the attendant to watch our every move.
I thought to myself, even if I walked past the door of someone's house, I guess I wouldn't have a chance to get in.
Unless...... The young owner of the pharmacy happened to go out and met it, which is very unlikely, but if it does, then you can stop and say a few words.
...... The air is cold on the streets of Northland.
When I walked through the alleys, I had the illusion of being in a different world.
It seems like more than one similar experience.
It was only during my days in the camp in the mountains that I got used to being in a different group.
After arriving at the house, his identity changed and he became a primary apprentice of a master craftsman.
Thinking back to the time when the boat traveled all the way south, it quietly overlaps with the scene of last night silently memorizing the map under the lights.
It's like a dream!
"Xiaolin, you keep up, don't get lost."
Master Wan turned his head to look at me, saw that I was not in a state, and pulled my thoughts back in a second.
The squire's gaze swept in my direction again.
I walked a few quick steps with my head down, silently following them.
Passing through the quiet alley, two men wearing hats came to meet them.
The alley is so narrow that you need to turn sideways to avoid it.
They passed the three of us.
...... Out of the alley, there is another long street running east-west.
We're going to walk down the street for a while and then turn around the stone bridge.
Shun An Hall is not far away.
Although I am a road idiot, I have some memories of the first day I came to town.
When I was leaving that day, I forgot to bring the medicinal herb bag, but the young owner chased it out and sent it.
There are a few shops on this street that I have seen in my memory.
Master Wan suddenly stopped and glanced towards the location of Shun'an Hall.
I thought he had something to say.
However, he only paused and walked on.
The three of them were silent for a moment, but there were many more pedestrians on the street than when we left the house.
...... Seeing that the shop that Master Wan was going to go to was not far from the street.
The eyes of several people looked at the past, and everywhere they looked, they saw the shop.
Suddenly, the attendant stopped and retracted his gaze to look at Master Wan, and asked in a gentle tone, "Is the tool you are looking for ready-made or do they have to make it?" ”
When Master Wan heard this, he actually glanced at me first.
I also found it strange that I didn't understand the reason for this person's question.
The attendant looked at Master Wan and continued to say, "If you wait for a long time, I won't follow me, and I don't understand that." ”
"Even if you get to the shop, you still have to wait."
I froze and turned my head.
I was surprised in my heart, I listened to the meaning of his words, could it be......
If I hadn't known that he had only met Master Wan this morning, I would have thought he had been involved in our conversation last night!
Is it a coincidence, as we discussed?
Later, the attendant said to Master Wan again: "There is a place where you can drink tea on this street. ”
I looked around and he was right, there were several shops where I could stay.
In the morning, there are also early shops opening on the streets, and as for the places to drink tea, they have always been open early.
"If you need a long time, why don't I go there and wait."
He pointed to a shop on the street and said, "It's not far from the shop you're going to, and when it's done, I'll help you get something together." ”
"If you really have to wait for a long time, even you can come to the teahouse and wait."
This man...... He didn't even think Master Wan needed to watch when he went to the shop?
Could it be that the people who came out with us weren't sent by Lady Liu to follow?
To be honest, after Master Wan heard some of the words he said, the expression on his face looked more surprised than mine.
However, he quickly calmed down.
Master Wan looked at the attendant and said, "I really have to wait for a while, the tools I want are not something that can be taken away immediately." ”
"If you think it's possible, we'll listen to you."
After speaking, Master Wan glanced at me.
I stepped forward and said to him, "Master Wan, then I'll follow him to the teahouse and wait." ”
"You can come back later!"
This is the first time I have used your word when I talk to Master Wan.
Because the relationship between the two of us is not that of a master and an apprentice, we only need to be cautious in front of the attendants.
My situation is not the same as Ah Rong.
The attendant's gaze was once again focused on me, he stared at me thoughtfully, and then turned his head to look at Master Wan and said, "His words, feel free, you can go or not." ”
"Master Wan, what do you see......"
I looked at him with a slight hesitation, for unlike the situation in which I had been discussed, and now that he had offered to wait alone, I hesitated.
Master Wan glanced at the attendant a few more times with an incredulous gaze, and after thinking about it, he said to me, "Xiaolin, you can follow him to the teahouse and wait." ”
"Wait until I explain to the craftsmen in the shop, and ask me about how long it will take."
"If it's slow, I'll come to you."
The attendant looked around and asked Master Wan for advice, "Which one is more suitable?" ”
Master Wan casually pointed to the teahouse on the side of the street not far away and said, "It's better to go over there and wait for me." ”
The two sides agreed, and the attendant took the lead in the direction of the teahouse.
I glanced at Master Wan, and he motioned for me to follow the man.
I walked some distance and looked back at Master Wan walking towards the craftsman's shop, and there was a person dressed as a craftsman standing at the door.
The attendant walked all the way to the door of the teahouse and never looked back.
I couldn't talk to him for the time being, and the only thing I could do was to follow him.
...... The business of the teahouse was more lively than expected, and when I walked in, I found that there were many people sitting in the lobby along the street.
But the attendant had no intention of stopping, and he went straight upstairs, and I followed him.
When I got to the second floor, I suddenly felt that the light was brighter.
The view here is also a little wider than from the ground floor.
When he sat down at the table by the window, I thought for a few seconds before sitting across from him.
...... I lowered my head and took a sip of tea, and I was still thinking about the scene in the courtyard.
Who can be hidden in the forest early in the morning?
In my opinion, since it is related to the attendants, and even has some kind of signal, it must also be the person next to Lady Liu.
Didn't you follow in the way of covert surveillance?
Do you want to explain that the attendants who came out with us on the face didn't care much about us, but there would be other people secretly following?
If this assumption is true, the people I met along the way...... And the surrounding situation.
If you want to say the most suspicious, it should be the two people who passed by in the alley, and they were still wearing hats.
By this time, the weather had already cleared.
The direction of those two people is contrary to ours, if you really want to follow us, if you really want to stare at us, you should always follow us.
I couldn't help but look at the people on the second floor who were sitting at the tables around me drinking tea.
However, this teahouse was completely instructed by Master Wan on a temporary basis, not by the attendant's own choice.
It's a bit unreasonable to say that someone was deliberately arranged to wait in advance.
All of a sudden, I realized something...... After coming out of the courtyard door...... The squire offered to wait alone, and the whole thing got a little weird!
Sort out the things from last night to the present again, and take advantage of the time to wait for Master Wan.
I reminded myself that I needed to calm down......
