Chapter 1: The Town of Xiama

Next Chapter

"Wow! Unexpectedly, the town has become so prosperous now. This fast place www.biquge.info it seems to be the grass outside the original Xiama Town, but now it has become such a bustling street. A man dressed in linen clothes carrying a blue bag and a brown half-man tall stick said excitedly as he looked around the street that had just woken up in the morning.

Walking on this road, I couldn't help but look curiously at the things sold in the shops along the street.

The man walked to the front of a shop selling transparent balls, and when the boss saw that a guest was coming, he got up and greeted: "Yo, this brother, it's really early!" Come and see, what do you want, the first guest in the morning, if you want to buy it cheaper for you. ”

The man pointed to the transparent spherical objects and asked the boss, "Boss, what is this?" Why haven't you seen it before? ”

The shopkeeper suddenly looked at the man with a surprised expression, and the man was startled by the boss's sudden expression: "Boss, what's wrong." Why are you looking at me like that? ”

The shopkeeper didn't answer the man's question, and began to glance at the man: look at this man, although he was wearing a linen clothes, but the bags behind him were not different fabrics. And this looks quite handsome, this hair and face are obviously combed.

Seeing that the shopkeeper ignored him, and was still looking at himself up and down, the man couldn't help but put up his guard, his tone became deeper, and asked the shopkeeper again: "Shopkeeper, what are you looking at?" ”

This time, the shopkeeper was awakened, and seeing the man's serious and vigilant expression, he realized the gaffe just now: "Oh. Little brother, I'm really sorry! Brother is here to compensate you, but I still want to ask again, do you really not know what this is? ”

The man nodded impatiently: "Yes, otherwise why would I ask you." ”

"So, did this little brother practice in the mountains or in an uninhabited land before?"

"Huh?"

The shopkeeper saw that the man's face changed, realized something, and quickly changed his words and said, "Yo, that old brother knows, you can see that little brother, this is the first time you have come out to wander!" ”

The man looked at the shopkeeper and didn't know what to say, so the shopkeeper smiled: "Little brother, it's the first time you've come out to wander, and fortunately you've met my brother." If you had met some other black-hearted merchant, they would have fooled you a long time ago and tricked you into spending a lot of money to buy this. ”

The shopkeeper sat down on the stool where he had been sitting, picked up a transparent ball, and said to the man, "Little brother, I tell you, this is called a rune ball." This is a rune bead sold from the neighboring country of Pu, why is it called a rune bead? Because this is made of a very special material, there is a lot of rune power pressed inside, which can be used in many ways, such as fire rune beads can be used for heating, light rune beads can be used for lighting, and so on. I just don't know if the little brother likes it or not, and the elder brother sees that you are so young and came out to break through, or the first guest of the elder brother, the elder brother assures you that he will definitely give you a lot of discounts. How about it, pick one you like, whatever you like, only thirty silver coins. ”

The man quietly watched the shopkeeper's boast about him, looked at the shopkeeper with disdain, and turned to leave. Seeing the man leaving, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted: "Hey, little brother, this price can still be discounted, don't go, I'm looking." ”

The man didn't look back, walked straight forward, walking on the road The man sighed softly, and whispered: "I really overreacted just now, I didn't expect to be frightened by a seller of talisman beads, my heart had to slow down, and I scared myself, this merchant is really black-hearted, a rune bead of three silver coins was sold for thirty silver coins." But what the shopkeeper said is right, there is nothing wrong with being vigilant, after all, I have just escaped from the academy, in case there is an eyeliner laid by the third son, and then I know me, then I will be miserable. It's better to be careful. ”

After the man took a few steps forward, a smell of food wafted in, and the man sniffed vigorously, and the man's stomach also cooed a few times. The man looked around, looking for the source of the scent. I saw a blunt shop selling wontons in front of the right, although it was the time when the morning market had just opened, but this chaos shop had already sat a few tables of customers. The man touched his hungry stomach and walked towards the wonton shop.

As soon as the man entered the store, a shopkeeper immediately ran over: "Guest officer, please inside." As he spoke, he led the man to a place with fewer people in the store, wiped the stool and table, and asked the man to sit down and beckoned, "Guest officer, what do you need?" ”

"What's delicious in your store?"

"The best thing in our store is the blunt wonton, our blunt is famous in this area, and people from all over the country come here to eat."

"Then in addition to the blunt, there are also buns?"

"Yes, it's not about buns, but also oil buns, fritters, and baked cakes. What do you want, guest? ”

"Let's have a bowl of wontons and add two meat buns."

The shopkeeper put a towel on his shoulder: "Okay, wait, guest officer, you'll be here soon." After speaking, the shopkeeper turned around and walked towards the counter, when the man suddenly grabbed the boy: "This little brother, wait." Do you have a big bowl of wontons? “

"Yes."

"If you have a big bowl, put more chopped green onions in it."

"Okay, wait a minute."

After Xiao Er walked away, the man put the bag and brown stick he had been carrying on the table, and then groped through the bag, took out a silver coin and a few copper coins, and put the bag in place again.

The man waited for boredom, then glanced at the customers who were having breakfast at the shop. The man sat down and took a closer look, only to find that this shop is really big, just now the man outside took a hasty look, did not feel that there were many people, now so carefully looked, only to find that there are more than 20 people sitting in this store for breakfast, and they are all two or three people a table, there are a lot of empty tables, the man counted the table at random, there are almost twenty tables. Even the shopkeepers in the running hall have two, one in the south and one in the north.

The man was sitting at a table on the north side, where there were fewer people in the north and more people in the south, and the man was sitting in a position where he could see all the guests present at a glance.

Among these guests, there were husbands and wives with children, a few who looked like merchants, and some who were very richly dressed. But what the man cared about the most was a man sitting alone on the south side, and a man who was also sitting on the north side, but wearing different clothes than the people who lived here. Looking at the dress of this group of people, it should be from the country of Nuo, there are five people, all of them are tall and strong men, five people are sitting at a table, eating the buns and wontons on the table.

One of them noticed that the man was watching them, and suddenly turned his head and looked at the man viciously, and the man bowed his head weakly and played with the coins in his hand. The group didn't make any further moves, and the man lowered his head again and ate and drank.

The sackcloth-clad man came over for a moment before he raised his head, but this time he looked at the man on the other side and swept the group of strangers with his afterglow.

The man opposite and this group of strangers are in stark contrast, the man opposite has slowly bitten the bun, and from time to time he drinks a spoonful of porridge, everything seems to be orderly.

But this man could not hide the temperament of a master, as well as that relatively cold attitude, this move made it impossible for others to intervene and chat with him.

When the man in sackcloth was carefully observing, the things the man ordered were ready, and the shopkeeper brought them over: "Guest officer, all the things you ordered have arrived." Xiao Er put down the big bowl of wontons and meat buns, put away the tray and was about to turn away, but the man reached out to stop Xiao Er.

"Guest, do you have any other orders?"

The man put a silver coin on the table and pushed it in front of Xiao Er: "It's nothing, I just want to ask you some questions, I don't know if it's inconvenient?" ”

Xiao Er hurriedly put away the silver coins, looked at them vigilantly in private, no one found the situation here, Xiao Er happily accompanied the smiling face and said to the man: "Guest officer, ask casually, as long as I know, I will tell you." ”

"Okay, let me ask you, what kind of street shop is this?"

Xiao Er looked at the man with some doubts, but Xiao Er didn't think about any questions, just answered: "This street is called Tongyou Street, which was built seven years ago and is used to sell specialties from neighboring countries." ”

The man's brow furrowed, and then he asked, "Are you talking about this one that was built seven years ago?" Why was this street built all of a sudden, did the lord of the city know that merchants from other countries would be coming here? ”

"No, it was all of a sudden that a lot of merchants came here to stay here, and for this reason this street shop was built. It should be said that this area is this area, but in fact, this area was originally a wasteland on the outskirts of Xiama Town. ”

"Oh." The man squinted and nodded slowly. Suddenly, the man opened his eyes, looked at the shopkeeper, and beckoned to the shopkeeper to lean over, while he turned sideways, with his back to the group of Nuo people, and covered his cheeks with his hands.

The shopkeeper moved his body and leaned down, and the man gestured to the group of Norwegians with his eyes and asked, "Those people, wearing different clothes, are they Norwegians?" ”

The shopkeeper wanted to look up at the group of people the man said, but the man stretched out his hand: "Don't look at it, it's the group of people who are dressed differently than us." ”

The shopkeeper didn't let him see it, so he followed, and thought about it: "Yes, they are from the Nuo country." It's very fierce, but I don't dare to make trouble here, but scolding is still very casual, many customers in the store have been scolded, and they have been here for several days, and they have come here for breakfast every morning, and they have scared away a lot of customers in our store, otherwise the situation in our store, I don't have the time to answer your questions here. ”

"Oh, how many days?" The man suddenly became interested, "How many days have you been here?" ”

"I forgot about this, it's going to be days."

The man didn't force him when he saw that Xiao Er couldn't think of it, and asked the next question directly: "Then, the man on the other side is eating slowly, do you know?" The man pointed to the man who was still eating slowly on the other side and asked.

The shopkeeper swept the man's "oh" on the other side: "I remember, this man came here on the same day as these people from the Nuo country, and he came here six days ago, I remember this more clearly, because he also gave me a silver coin and asked me some questions." ”

"What questions were asked?" The man asked.

"Just ask what streets are here, what places are around, what villages are there. Finally, I asked if I knew of a place called Koshimura. ”

"Little Rock Village?" The man's eyes furrowed slightly this time.

"Yes, it's Koishi Village. In other words, I don't know what this small stone village is, but in the past few years, several groups of guests have asked me this question, so much so that I want to find out where this small stone village is. ”

The man waved his hand to the shopkeeper: "Okay, it's okay, you go get busy." ”

"Okay, if you have any other orders, just call me." After that, he walked away and went to wander around other places.

As soon as the second little boy left here, an uninvited person came to the man's table, the man who had been eating breakfast slowly: "This brother, is it convenient to share a table here?" ”

The man in sackcloth looked the man up and down, and said jokingly, "I'm sorry, I'm used to eating alone, and besides, there are a lot of empty tables on the side, you can go there." ”

"Oh?" The man raised his eyebrows: "Isn't this son interested in that group of people?" ”

The man in sackcloth laughed dryly: "I don't have any interest in men. ”

The man didn't care what the answer was, he clasped his hands into fists and politely reported his name: "At the end of the surname, the list is Miao." I don't know the name of this son. ”

The man in sackcloth looked at this Duan Miao again and thought for a while: Well, a little person like me, no one knows me, even if I report my name outside, there will be no situation, tell him my name, he may doubt the authenticity of my name, it is better to say my real name directly. Moreover, if I go to follow this group of Normen now, it will be dangerous to be discovered, and I may be able to escape with him.

After making up his mind, the man in sackcloth also learned to report his name politely: "Under the surname Zhang, the name is Tian." ”

When Duan Miao heard this, she laughed: "Although Brother Zhang's name is relatively calm, he dares to use the sky as his name, and it can be seen that Brother Zhang will not be an ordinary person in the future." ”

"It's over. However, it seems that Brother Duan, you didn't just come here to ask for a name. ”

Duan Miao smiled slightly: "Brother Zhang has good eyesight, but Brother Zhang hasn't answered the question just now." I don't know if Brother Zhang can be more interested in these Norman people? ”

Zhang Tian didn't speak, but picked up the wontons and buns in front of him and ate them quickly.
