After looking left and right, and seeing that there was no one walking in the entire corridor, I entered my own house and closed the door.

You don't have to wait long, and the guests who stay at the hotel will come back one after another.

At that time, it was time for the master of the inn's kitchen to prepare dinner.

I stayed at a town inn, and I haven't had a chance to taste the craft of the master chef in the big kitchen until now.

The bowl of fish noodles that the young man gave me can only be regarded as a superficial taste.

You have to taste his dishes to come to a conclusion.

Although there are few people of different races in the inn at the moment, I listened to the shopkeeper and said that the master here has really good craftsmanship, and I unconsciously let me look forward to it.

I cleaned up the house all over again.

I told the innkeeper about the plan, so I waited for the time being, and waited with peace of mind.

After looking around the room, my eyes swept somewhere, and I walked over to the cabinet.

I reached out and sorted out the things piled up on top, especially the open bag resting on the cabinet, and I carefully sorted it out.

If I can't get a ride to the Northland, I'll have to streamline my luggage.

There's no way around it, because it's impossible to take that many things on the road.

I'm alone, and I have to go, and I can't afford too many things after all.

I speculate that even if I reluctantly took it, I would have to throw things away if I couldn't walk far out of town.

It's better to think about it before you go, people still have to know how to make trade-offs.

Dispose of the items in your luggage that you don't need very well, and you will have less of the remaining things to carry with you.

Conserve your stamina. When the weather is extremely cold, walking with weights is bound to be more tiring.

Come and think about it, look for opportunities in the town.

No matter how I think about it, I think it's important to get a ride. We must hurry up and do it.

I recall that when I entered the town, the car of the dart board went all the way to the center of the town.

Because I helped on the way, the people of the dart bureau brought me to Nanhua Town, which was a favor.

They had concerns, so as soon as they got to the center of town, they dropped me down.

The wounded man I treated said that one of the things they had to do was not to share information about their employer. So the approach is understandable.

The carriages I saw passing by outside the windows seemed to be heading southeast of the town along the main road.

Out of Nanhua Town, I remember that the main road marked on the map was indeed on the southeast side of the town.

It means the place where those carriages converge. It's not far from the inn where I'm staying right now.

Gave me another chance!

Later, follow the young man out to buy the ingredients that are missing in the big kitchen, and if time permits, let him lead me directly to take me to see.

Isn't it just right? I don't have to think much about how to get him to take me there!

I want to get a general idea of the market and know how many caravans have departed from Nanhua Town in recent days!

This is very important.

If there are more than one or two wagons or teams going to the Northlands. There are quite a few people who pass through Nanhua Town every day. Then it is easier for me to find an opportunity to convince the other party to give me a ride.

Wang Shi did not enter Nanhua Town, but stopped in the northwest direction of the town.

But once their ranks began to march, they were far faster than I could do on two legs.

I didn't have a choice, I had to find a way to find a ride.

I'm not going to the Northlands to relax, so I don't have a sense of urgency, I have a task to do, and it's important.

Cleaned up. After waiting in the room for about a quarter of an hour, I figured it would be about the same. Only then did he reopen the door and go out.

When I walked outside, I suddenly remembered what my aunt said in the teahouse, and I felt that the details could not be neglected.

So I turned back again, put on the "equipment" that went out, and sorted out the equipment that looked a little cumbersome.

If it weren't for the fact that I was in Nanhua and I had a precedent of being mistaken for someone, I really didn't want to use it

Pushing the door open and walking out of the corridor, I heard the sound of talking in the rooms I passed.

The silence was so obvious when I passed last night!

Along the corridor, except for the guest in the next room who had closed the door the loudest, take stock and see that there is a sound in almost every room.

Only as I passed through one of the rooms, I saw a figure in a hat poking out.

The man was also wearing a hat, which looked similar to the one I wore on my head.

As I said, since I arrived near Suzhou, I have repeatedly seen such a relatively light hat, and the veil covering the head is relatively short, which is convenient for walking around flexibly.

It's like the light is fleeting, and the door closes for a second, and I can't react when my eyes are wide open.

This person moves as fast as you can imagine!

I suddenly remembered, wasn't it the one who had pushed the gang in the front yard of the inn earlier?

It must have been him, who was too quick to see until he entered the door, until he pushed through the crowd, until the figure disappeared into the front yard.

Leaving a strange man, another one followed.

How fast is it?

I didn't even see the dignity of the man clearly, and in a trance I knew that it was a tall man.

Hell yes!

I stood there with my lips pursed and stopped.

My hand was quietly clenched, and I thought to myself, if I were a thief at night, the thief in the legendary customer inn at night would not be enough!

I'm afraid that the innkeeper and the young man can't plug the loophole even after trying their best.

Putting that thought aside, I shook my head.

It's all because I've heard a lot of rumors, how can I have so many associations when I see a strange guest?

Walking to the top of the stairs, I glanced in the direction of the large kitchen, and sure enough, I didn't see the young man.

It's the master in the big kitchen, who is washing the dried mushrooms by the sink in the backyard.

The master master is chubby, and he looks at the movements quickly.

In a small bamboo basket beside him. Most of the baskets of dried mushrooms have been washed!

To boil the broth, you have to soak and clean it first, and this kind of dry goods are put into the soup. The aroma is several times stronger than that of fresh ingredients.

I didn't see the young man in the inn around the master, I don't think I need to confirm it!

He must have left the door of the inn by this time, waiting for me at the entrance of the alley to the east of which we had agreed!

It's just that when I walked away, my eyes stayed on the master for a few seconds.

Some memories came flooding back, and looking at that chubby back made me feel sentimental for a moment.

I was reminded of my old life on the ship.

I just met someone at that time, and those unforgettable memories will come to my heart inadvertently

Walk to the lobby of the inn. It was relatively deserted, with only a few guests who looked like they had just moved in and were drinking tea and eating snacks.

They gathered around a table, their accents slightly different. It is between the Suzhou dialect and the dialects of Nanhua Town.

I guess it's the mountain people in the nearby mountains.

The outfit also looks more in line with my inference.

The leather jackets they wore were of average workmanship and style.

If you look closely, it is definitely not the craft of the tailors in the town, it should be homemade by the mountain people.

But I look at it quite warm.

It's not yet time for dinner. There were no hot meals in the inn.

Tea is not lacking. I tasted it last night and drank a pretty good tea.

Before I could get to the table where they were sitting, my eyes glanced around, intentionally or not.

The innkeeper was not here at this time, probably after sending off the people under his old friend's hands, he went to rest.

It's easy to understand that you have to patrol the inn with the young man in the middle of the night.

In order to ensure the safety of the guests' belongings, you can't take a good rest when you're old!

Take advantage of the fact that it is not yet dark and it is not time to eat, and nourish your spirits.

Regarding this matter, I will go out and meet the innkeeper later. I can ask him for details.

Just as he was about to pass, a man at the table looked up.

I don't want to talk to people. Besides, my current outfit was not suitable for stopping and talking to people, so I ignored the man's surprised gaze and hurried out of the door of the lobby on the ground floor

In the front yard of the inn facing the street, a room upstairs quietly opened a window crack.

The expression on the face of the person who was faintly looking out of the window was indifferent, but a pair of eyes watched the figure below out of the courtyard of the inn with fixed eyes.

His gaze revealed that his heart was not so calm and indifferent, on the contrary, there was a precursor to anger.

You can vaguely find a trace of hidden helplessness in his eyes.

His gaze followed, and after a while he saw the guy enter an alley on the east side of the inn, and when he came out, he became two people.

The one leading the way in front is very easy to recognize, it is the young man in the inn, and he can know the outfit at a glance.

The direction in which they walked was to the southeast of Nanhua Town.

The boy closed the window, pursed his lips as well, and went to the table in the room and sat down

I stepped out of the door of the inn, and the familiar feeling rose up in my heart again.

I always felt as if somewhere in the corner someone had been silently staring at me.

But I've checked it on the street several times, and now the strange guest who stayed at the hotel has left.

I saw the innkeeper tie the bag to his horse, and asked him to bring it to his old friend who lived in the tea plantation in the Beilang Mountain area.

I have witnessed the whole process, and it is impossible for that person to go and return!

I left that little doubt in my mind, and not far in front of me was the entrance to the alley to the east.

I saw the innkeeper poke his head out of the alley and glance in my direction.

He looked at me, and he smiled at me.

As I got closer, I looked at him and saw that his hand was empty, and I couldn't help asking, "Didn't the master at the inn write you a list?" ”

Last night he helped me light the fire, I talked to him a lot, I know that the young man is literate, in a small place like Nanhua Town, or in the inn chores, it is really rare!

The young man avoided my gaze, bowed his head shyly, and said, "I don't need to write it, I can remember it." ”

I nodded knowingly and said, "I have a good memory." ”

"There are a few things, if you can't even remember this, you don't have to do things in the inn."

The young man paused, looked at me and smiled, "The shopkeeper used to let me remember the names of the guests." “

I looked at him with wide eyes, the hood obscuring my countenance, but the gaze could see through the veil, and anyone who was close to me could feel it.

I realized that it wasn't good to look at him that way, and quickly looked away. "Those long-term guests, when they enter the door, they say hello to others, and they return to Nanhua Town to stay in this store."

"That's right!" I think the innkeeper's words are very reasonable, the so-called home from home, isn't that how it feels?

Understand the psychology of the guests, which is reflected in some details.

Get up at night to patrol, and the same innkeeper cares about the safety of the guests.

If it hadn't been for the war, I can imagine how lively their business would have been a few years ago.

A shopkeeper who knows how to operate has the opportunity to earn more silver!

I looked up at the street in the distance, and as it was getting darker, I could see that there were fewer pedestrians passing by on the street.

It is estimated that by the time it is time for dinner, there will be fewer people on the street.

The crowd swam like fish to the restaurants scattered throughout the street.

Of course, the local residents will go back to their own homes to eat.

The young man led the way, and we walked southeast of the town.

I thought about the Zhenbei Market, and I took a step closer to him to ask about the martial doctor first.

Anyway, the young man has been in town for a few years, hasn't he heard about Daddy Wu Yu?

I didn't hear him mention it, so I took the opportunity of the two of us to ask about it.

I had the feeling that I was more comfortable talking in the street than in the inn, as if that staring gaze had disappeared.

As soon as I asked, the young man immediately replied, "Yes, the martial artist in the town, but I rarely see him." ”

"In the past few years, we have met less than three times." The young man was visibly stunned, and then he lowered his head and thought for a while, "We're quite far from where Doctor Wu lives." "It's closer to that Dr. Liu in the southeast of town."

He looked at me and suddenly asked, "How did you remember to ask me this?" ”

The young man looked at me suspiciously, and his tone was somewhat inquiring, and he paused and continued, "What did you hear about in town?" ”

After a while, I didn't have time to speak, mainly because I didn't think about how to answer him.

I saw the young man reach out and pat his head and say, "I remember what you said!" "Doctor Wu you are talking about, it seems that he left the town a while ago and went to Xilanan!"

This guy is also enough to realize later.

Many residents in the town know more about Wu Yu's father's whereabouts, even the old neighbor who came from other places, the middle-aged aunt, knows better than him!

However, I think about it, most of the guest houses are business travelers, and there are not many opportunities to see a doctor.

Those mountain people who came to see the doctor, since the goal was to find Doctor Wu when they arrived in the town, where would they stop at the inn.

As for those who stayed to see a doctor, they must have found a place to stay near the alley where Dr. Wu lived, and there was no reason why they had to come here! (To be continued.) )
