About the trail of the Dark Guard......

Mo Yan always felt that Gongzi was planning something else, and it must have nothing to do with the war in the Northland. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hearing a slight sound coming from the room, Mo Yan quickly turned around.

He glanced towards the attic, then quickened his pace and walked in that direction......

...... I turned my head to look at the flow of people passing through the street.

At this time, the evening of the town has not yet come.

I've heard the customers who stayed in the shop talk about the market here...... I heard it was going to be late.

It's unimaginable for me, the first time I've arrived here!

It's almost time to reach the northland where the two armies are fighting, and business is still as prosperous as it is in front of you.

When I was in Suzhou City, I once complained to the teenager because of the situation I saw on the street, and I seemed to think it was a little incredible.

But compared to here, Suzhou is still far away from the northland after all.

Now that I look at the bustle in front of me, I can't help but think of the Northland, and I don't know what the Northland is like right now.

Sitting in the shop along the street, there is another thing I can feel, the temperature difference between the outside and the store!

Speaking of which, I came out of the cave passage with the tsundere boy, and I had the illusion of being in a different world.

Because staying in the closed passageway, even if it is only for a few days, it will feel like a long, long time compared to the outside.

When we came out, we walked all the way, and we felt the same way along the way.

I was silently reminding myself that my plan to buy warm clothes had to be completed as soon as possible in the town.

There are a lot of shops here, compared to the bustling ready-to-wear stores on the street...... I can look around the deserted streets and look for shops that are smaller and less prosperous.

Maybe there, I can find the clothes I want.

In addition to the above, I have another important thing in mind.

Yes, I had to make a trip to the pharmacy in town, which seemed like a regular trip to every stop!

Because there's always something I want to prepare, and I might need to use it along the way.

With that in mind, I turned my head to see the guy in the shop...... He's not always busy, and occasionally customers leave and no new customers come in to eat.

Now, for example, he happens to be free again.

My eyes were always on him, watching him wait for him to see off a few guests, and I beckoned him to come over.

Not to mention that the attention is mutual, in fact, the young man and the shopkeeper are also silently paying attention to our table.

The reason, naturally, is because there was a person running away halfway!

If you want to say that the tsundere boy looks like he is richer than me, and now he is gone.

If you want to collect money at the checkout, it will definitely only fall on my head.

So I waved casually, and the little man had already seen it!

"I'm the first to come back here," I continued, after a pause, looking at the young man, "I want to ask, is there a bigger pharmacy on the street nearby?" ”

The young man stared at me for a moment, then said, "Yes, yes." ”

He glanced at the shopkeeper, turned his head to me, and said, "But there is only one in the center of town, and it is located at the end of this long street. ”

"There's a big tree next to the stone bridge, and that's it."

The young man rolled his eyes, looked at me and continued: "It's true that there is only one pharmacy in the center of the town, but in the north of the town, there are several pharmacy stores in a row, and they are all quite close. ”

I looked at him with a little surprise in my eyes and asked, "There are so many pharmacies in the town!" ”

It sounds a little strange to me.

I have been in Nanhua Town, I have walked back and forth on the street several times, and even the Zhenbei Market has been there.

I know the general distribution of shops on the streets, especially the places I have to go whenever I visit.

"Look at what you're saying!"

The young man frowned and looked at me, but he couldn't help but complain: "You can see all the people on the street here!" ”

"If it weren't for the war in the Northland, our business here would have been better before!"

The young man pouted, looked at me, and said.

My eyes fell on his face, I could see his expression clearly, well, I have to admit that he had a point.

To exist is to be reasonable.

I don't think there's a reason why a store is open and a loss-making business.

If the pharmacy in the town has no business, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy will not last long and will close the shop.

Sure enough, the next second the young man added to me: "The pharmacy in the town, the one that has been open on this street for two years." ”

"The north of the town has been open for at least ten years."

The implication is very obvious, as I thought in my heart, if I didn't have a business, I wouldn't be able to support the current one.

I pondered for a moment, then asked for the detailed route, and the young man looked at me and smiled.

He said to me, "It's easy to walk here, and it's not easy to get lost." ”

He tilted his head and thought for a moment, and explained, "You must have noticed it when you entered the town, as long as you follow the main road and look for the right direction, you will not be wrong." ”

The streets are pretty neat.

"Besides, the pharmacy is a place where everyone goes, just ask, everyone on the street knows it, you can't find one to ask."

I nodded, and the young man was just about to leave, when he suddenly turned back to look at me and asked, "The person who was with you just now, is he gone or is he ......?"

I thought about it for a moment, and looked back at him and said in a gentle tone: "He went to meet a friend in a nearby store and will be back soon." ”

I quietly looked away at him, thought for a moment, and looked up at my surroundings.

I suddenly thought of the reason for his question, I think the young man is worried about me eating the overlord meal!

I looked down at myself.

I have to admit that walking in the mountains until now, and with the current outfit, it is not surprising that people are suspicious.

...... After waiting for a while, I looked at the young man and said, "He will be back soon, you can rest assured that the food money will be indispensable." ”

"Well, that's not what I meant."

The young man was a little embarrassed to hear me confess so frankly.

To hide his embarrassment, he quickly walked away to greet the other guests.

I listened to the guests sitting around a few tables talking about the town's topics.

While they were talking, a few more guests came in from outside.

...... I looked intently, and they all looked dressed as passing merchants.

Judging from the costumes, it was several people who had come to eat together on the street.

Usually these guests stay at the town's inn...... Then take advantage of your stay in town to come out and find some food that has a good local reputation.

They walked through the crowd into the store and asked directly to the shopkeeper, "Is there any fish in your town that is the most famous in town?" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him and replied with a smile: "I sell snacks here, and there are no dishes you said." ”

The shopkeeper suggested to him, "But the restaurant in the town is not far away, it is the biggest one we have here, you can go there to eat." ”

I heard the conversation between them clearly, and I was stunned.

I didn't expect a fish to be so memorable, it seems that it is indeed famous!

Seeing the disappointed looks of the guests, I was looking down and thinking, when I suddenly heard one of the guests say to the shopkeeper: "We came out of the restaurant you said." ”

"The fish over there are all sold, and we want to look on the street, and we think maybe someone else will have it."

Several of them exchanged glances, and the one who spoke first continued, "Do you know of any other shops around here where you can eat your specialties?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled when he heard this: "You go to the west of the town to look for it, maybe there will be one over there." ”

"I really don't have it here, forgive me!"

...... The young man shook around and came back to the table where I was sitting, and he glanced at me.

It's been a while since the tsundere boy went out, but he still hasn't returned.

I think it's probably because the people in the store are worried about the money for food and the money they used to buy paper and pencils.

But I still have confidence in my heart, but because the boy is sure of what he said, I want to wait!

Because no matter what, he always feels like a man of words along the way.

Maybe it's because he found someone suspicious in the town, so he needs to tell a few more words when we meet!

Or maybe he would have thought otherwise......

With his fickle state since arriving in town, it's likely that his next plan will be adjusted.

I thought about it.

When he looked up and saw that the young man was not going to walk away in front of him, he thought that it would be better to talk to him again and pass the time.

"The guests who came just now said they came for the town's specialties, so it's really so popular?"

I looked at the guy and asked.

"I'll tell you the truth, it's true!"

The young man said affirmatively: "Every year, I don't know how many guests pass by the town and come to taste this dish. ”

I frowned at him and asked, "If the guests like it so much, they want to eat it so much...... If that's the case, why don't you sell this fish in your shop? ”

The young man looked at me, then hesitated.

He said in a sincere tone: "Our shopkeeper wants to enter, but unfortunately the number of this fish is not much. ”

The young man paused, and then continued, "Half of the largest restaurants in town are consumed, and the few shops on this street are left. ”

Hearing this, it dawned on me that it should be the previous shopkeeper who suggested with them, let the guests go to the street to find it!

It's not that they don't want to make this money, it's because the quantity is small, and there is really no way.

I want to be a restaurant in the town...... This dish is sure to sell for a high price.

It's like when I followed the tsundere boy to the courtyard for dinner, I remember the time of checkout, and the fish accounted for half of the money.

...... The two guards walked from the north of the town to the center of the town, gradually approaching the location near the restaurant.

They huddled in the crowd and got onto the stone bridge, looking at the pedestrians around them.

In the restaurant at this moment, looking out from the private room along the street, there is a lively flow of people on the street and an unobstructed view of the town.

It was rare for a horse-drawn carriage to come up this street in the center of town, and once inside, it had to slow down and walk through the crowd.

The Haiguo guard who was sitting and drinking tea in the private room, although his eyes looked at the scenery outside from time to time, his attention never left the movement of the private room next door.

After a brief silence, the young man in the restaurant chatted with one of the people in the private room.

At this moment, listening to the movement of the food, the guard heard the sound of footsteps in the aisle outside.

He glanced around, and in a short time saw two of his companions open the door and walk in one after another.

The guard lowered his voice and asked, "Everything is done?" The right car in the north of the town, right? ”

The two companions nodded and sat down, beckoning the young man in the restaurant to ask for an extra pot of tea and snacks.

There were more people waiting in the private room, and the three of them drank tea and talked in low voices.

The guard said to his companions, "Next door is the group of people we were staring at yesterday, and it seems that there are two of them." ”

"So far, they haven't waited for the goal."

When the companions heard this, they looked at each other, and one of them said in surprise, "Where are the two?" There was clearly only one person. ”

"When we passed by, we happened to meet the young man who served the food coming out, and there was only one person sitting by the window in the private room."

The guard's face suddenly changed and asked, "Aren't you mistaken?" ”

"Of course, we both looked at it, and we both saw that there was only one person sitting inside."

Another companion looked at him in confusion and chimed in.

"Oh no, I'm afraid something happened in the middle that I don't know about," the guard said after looking down for some time, "otherwise there wouldn't have been a moment of silence." ”

He couldn't help but sigh, his eyes stared at the opposite wall, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

You must know that everything is done to keep an eye on the movements of that group of people, in order to find more clues from them.

Now that someone has slipped away under their noses, it always feels a little strange.

"I was negligent!"

After the guard finished speaking, his companion sensed that his tone was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do, let's go to one person and inform the lord in time when we get to the entrance of the town?" ”

"I'm afraid it's too late," the guard glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and then said in a calm tone, "but it's possible that the man just walked away." ”

"It's all conjecture now, let's continue to wait."

"When he leaves, follow along."

"Okay, listen to you."

"However, I think it may be that you have walked away temporarily, and you are too nervous because you want to do more for the Lord."

The companion sitting opposite lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Speaking of which, these people are a bit like us, they are also waiting for people, and they also have goals. ”

"If the little junior sister of the lord really came to the town with their young master, they came with so many guards, and when they walked around, there was always news to reveal."

The guard's gaze swept over the window, and he heard his companion sitting opposite him say, "Don't forget that there are still our people guarding the inn!" ”

"I looked at the most important places in town, and I should be able to find them."
