I finished my meal at the inn, stepped out the door, and walked out into the street.

As I sat in the inn just now, I noticed that the shopkeeper's gaze swept over me several times.

I don't know what I'm looking like right now.

Suddenly, he was looked at by his scrutinizing gaze, and he was surprised in his heart, and secretly said that something was wrong? aroused the suspicion of the shopkeeper?

I go out alone, and whenever I encounter a situation that makes me feel abnormal, I will pay extra attention to it.

Therefore, I didn't dare to stay in the lobby of the inn for too long, so I got out of it as soon as I could.

I walked down the street adjacent to the inn, but within a few meters, a man came out of the alley and almost collided with me.

I stood still, looked at it, and felt a pang in my heart, the man was tall, his eyes were cold, and the other person's gaze was also staring.

I looked at the man for only a few seconds, and then a strange sensation rose in my heart.

At that moment, I suddenly remembered a scene that I had experienced in Suzhou City.

That's right, at that time, I followed Yuanbao and took the escort Ah Lai to a time-honored restaurant in the west of the city to taste what was said to be the most delicious delicacy in Suzhou City.

As mentioned earlier, in the time-honored restaurant in the deep alley, I met a person with a temperament similar to the one I am now.

At one point, I was so worried that I even greeted the guards for fear that something would happen in the alley.

Of course, it was later confirmed that it was a false alarm, and there was no follow-up.

Looking at the stranger at this moment, my heart is beating. Before I could take a closer look at the other man, the man walked past me without saying a word.

I turned to stare at where he was going, and watched as he didn't go far. I actually turned into the door of the inn.

This coincidence surprised me even more, he also passed through Nanhua Town to stay in the hotel?

I thought about it for a moment, and made sure that the person just now was definitely not the same person I saw in the deep alleys of Suzhou City.

The person I met in Suzhou was very impressive!

However, I know that he is more sensitive to the similarities between the two temperaments, and sometimes he is aware of some details that are not easy for others to find.

This episode slightly disrupted my steps, and made me ponder in the street outside the inn, delaying my efforts for a moment.

I came back to my senses and looked up at the sky, now. It's just getting dark!

It doesn't look like it's going to rain.

Anyway, when I eat, I can count the number of guests who show up!

The inn's business is indeed as the shopkeeper told the young man, very deserted.

Including what I saw on the inn promenade. Or when I get back to the inn in the evening, business will be better.

Standing on the street of the small town of Nanhua, I just stopped and observed for a while, and I would be aware of the direction in which the flow of people was going.

Just like when I was watching it carefully. Many people moved in the direction of the town's entrance.

I have the announcement from town in my mind. Follow them in a hurry along the same path.

My plan for now was to get to the town and think about where I was going to go.

Along the way, I also saw the pharmacy in Nanhua Town, plus the ready-to-wear shop that I had to go to.

The ready-to-wear shop is on another street that connects to the street outside the inn.

I didn't stop at the pharmacy, but I still went in the ready-to-wear shop.

As usual, it is a narrow store, the hall is not large, there is only room for a few people, and there are several rows of clothes hanging high and low in the store.

When I entered the store, there were no other customers, and the shopkeeper's attention was focused on me.

He looked at me with a slightly stunned expression.

I bowed my head. This is the second time I've seen this expression since I've arrived in the town today.

It may be that I am too careful, but I am thinking about it one after another. Shouldn't it be covered up a little, does this face look wrong in the eyes of others?

I calmed down and bought a change of clothes at the ready-to-wear store, in a quick way that only took a short time.

As for the pharmacy, I can't take care of it for the time being, and I'm not in such a hurry to prepare medicine.

I thought it wouldn't be too late to wait until I finished reading the town's announcements and learned about Master Wang's movements.

Maybe I might change my original plan!

I've always believed that soldiers will cover up the water, and thinking about it before I know the situation will only add unnecessary troubles to myself

The sound of horses' hooves was urgent, and the plain ahead had arrived, which was the boundary of the deserted village mentioned by the guard.

The boy slowed his horse slightly, staring at the village in front of him and frowning.

The two guards behind him finally took advantage of this stall to try to catch up.

The two of them saw the face of the third young master of their family, and had the illusion that the young master was planning to stay here to rest.

The guard, Ah Lai, approached the young man and whispered, "Third Young Master, the vehicles going to Nanhua Town, as well as the pedestrians coming over there, many of them will stop in the deserted village." ”

"This village was relocated after the last disaster?"

The young man suddenly turned his head to look at Ah Lai and asked, "Not long ago?" ”

The guard quickly shook his head.

As the guards who have been staying in the Yuwen family's house in the east of Suzhou City, Ah Lai and his companions obviously know the inside story better than the young man who is difficult to get from Suzhou.

Ah Lai briefly explained the reason why the villagers moved away.

Specifically, it is not only the disaster that occurred some time ago, but also the flood disaster that occurred before.

The combination of several reasons led to the widespread migration of villagers, and after a few years, the village was empty.

Hearing this, the young man thought thoughtfully, then raised his head and looked at the guard Ah Lai and said in a deep voice: "According to what you say, now this village has become a resting place for passers-by, and there are only a lot of people who stay every day. ”

The two guards who followed him glanced at each other, and both nodded and said, "Third Young Master, you are right. ”

As if echoing what they said, just as they slowed down and the three of them were discussing, several people walked out of the courtyard at the entrance of the village in front of them.

Their carriage was also brought from the woods beside it. Looking at the posture, it should be the person who went to Nanhua Town.

The young man watched in silence as the people drove away, his eyes moving.

Less. He urged the horse to run forward again.

"Third Young Master, we might as well stay in the village for a while."

The guards sensed his thoughts and simply pushed the boat to make suggestions.

This time, the young man was silent when he heard this, but turned his head to look at the two guards and bowed his head slightly.

The guard spoke his mind, right in the middle

The three of them rode to the courtyard where the few people had stayed at the entrance of the village.

The boy dismounted from his horse. When I approached the yard of the farmhouse, it seemed that the place where this house was not small.

There was a well in the courtyard, and one glance at it would reveal that at least several groups of people had stopped in front of it.

They could even observe the traces left in the mountain temple and draw conclusions. Not to mention the obvious traces of the village in front of you.

As far as the eye can see, there is even a simple earthen stove left behind for cooking in the courtyard, if the people behind follow to the courtyard of this house, it is much easier!

You don't have to build it yourself. Pick up some dead branches from the corner of the courtyard and use them to make a fire.

When the young man and two guards came out of the Chengdong Mansion in Suzhou, they brought dry food and a kettle.

Hastily prepared. It's not thorough, and of course it can't be compared with the driving team.

Naturally, his mind was not on eating and drinking, but his eyes swept over the traces left in the courtyard, and he looked at it a few times, and he was extra concerned.

The young man stared intently for a moment, and said to the guard Ah Lai: "Since there are so many people who go to Nanhua Town and will stop through the village, presumably Xiaoling is the same." ”

It's a wonderful feeling, and it's something that a teenager has never experienced!

Like today. He followed the trail of another man, chasing all the way. Stop several times along the way where the other person might go.

At this moment, the young man's heart was full of complicated feelings, and that inexplicable emotion came up again.

He closed his eyes slightly, walked to the corner, and waited quietly for a moment.

The two guards didn't dare to come forward to disturb, and it was always the teenager who had the final say when they went out.

Their master likes to stay here, and the guards can only wait patiently there.

Although the target should have arrived in Nanhua Town at this moment, they couldn't guess what the third young master was thinking in his heart

The town was dark at night, and the streets were full of pedestrians.

Although the night is the best disguise, and the shadows are too dark to see, I decided to cover myself up a little after the first few times.

I turned the other one, and now I was wearing a hat that I had worn before, a light style, the kind I often saw on the streets.

It seems that as soon as I put this hat on, I feel a lot safer and cut off my vision, but the light veil on it does not affect my vision.

I walked for a while, observed the surrounding scene, huddled in the crowd, and occasionally glanced at the people who passed by me.

There are a lot of people in the small town around me, and there are people of different races who are different from the locals in their clothes and speech.

After turning a narrow street, I finally reached the entrance of the town after walking a short time.

I looked up and saw the group of people gathered not far away, and knew that this was the place to post the announcement.

I quickly approached to take a look, and I was eager to know what kind of announcement about Wang Shi had been posted in the town

The layout of Nanhua Town is similar to other places, and I walked around the town for most of the time and basically figured out the location of the shops I wanted to go to.

Small has small benefits, especially for road idiots.

When I walked back to the inn, I had a small bag of medicinal herbs in addition to the things I had bought from the ready-to-wear store.

Just now at the pharmacy, I suddenly heard that when I took a ride during the day, the people at the dart board asked me to get out of the car, and I left something out and didn't take it, which was the herbs I picked by the mountain stream.

When I entered the door, the business of the inn was still very deserted, and there were few people sitting downstairs, and most of the tables were empty.

But it's still better than when I went out before.

My eyes swept around the lobby of the inn, and I didn't see the suspicious person I had encountered when I had gone out.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

The innkeeper was not there, and the young man was at a table serving dishes for the guests staying at the hotel.

He looked up and saw me coming back, and his gaze swept over me for a moment as I wore my hood.

Then the young man said hello to me.

I went up the wooden staircase, but the corridor was still empty.

As I walked, I watched the movement in the backyard of the inn.

The big kitchen was busy and I could smell the food.

When I got to my own house, I stood on the verandah with the door open when I entered.

After a closer look at the room, I walked in and closed the door

I put together the things I bought from the town, but the medicinal herbs made me embarrassed, and I walked a lot on the street for a day, and I didn't have any intention of making medicine.

Put it aside for a moment and think about what I'm going to do tomorrow, and the announcement I saw came to my mind.

There are some things above that I don't understand.

At night in Nanhua Town, I pushed the window and looked out, and there were fewer people walking by on the street outside.

I couldn't sleep when my mind was heavy, and there was an indescribable worry that always haunted me.

It feels uncomfortable!

If only my brother was explaining it to me, it would be nice to solve the confusion in my heart.

Footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.

I suddenly raised my head, and for a moment I watched quietly for the sound in the corridor.

Could it be the stranger I met?

The footsteps passed by my doorway, walking very slowly, the corridor was quiet, and the sound was very clear.

Step by step, I quietly clenched my fists, my nerves tensed, and I listened intently to the footsteps on the corridor.

The other party seemed to be wandering on the corridor, with no intention of leaving.

It was about a quarter of an hour before I heard the door open on the other side.

Then, the footsteps disappeared!

Outside it was quiet again, but my heart was very apprehensive, and I hesitated for a moment, but I continued my usual ways.

I decided to take some insurance myself, and without further ado, I immediately moved the house to another location.

The only table in the window moved behind the door, pressed it against it, and then closed the wooden window that faced the street.

Looking around the room, I was relieved for a while, but now that I saw something unusual, I had to think about what I would do if someone broke in in the middle of the night.

I'm not very worried about the thief that the guy said, and the focus of my worries is still the stranger I met outside the inn by passing by.

That kind of temperament is too familiar, far from being found in ordinary people or past travelers.

I cleaned up everything in the room, walked over to Chuang and sat down, my eyes still in the direction of the door

The pedestrians who stayed in the deserted village left one after another, and came again.

The boy wandered around the courtyard at the entrance of the village and saw the marks left on the ground.

When he heard the sound of voices coming from outside, he turned around and glanced in the direction of the courtyard.

"Let's go!"

The young man said a simple sentence with a cold look in his eyes, and the two guards behind him hurriedly followed.

The three men came out of the yard and got back on their horses. (To be continued.) )
