Chapter 54: The Thief in the Mist
When they arrived in Kaibang Town, it was almost dark, and the four of them entered the town just before the gate of the wall was closed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info porcelain naturally took the pompous first to the doctor, took the medicine, which stopped the diarrhea, and prescribed a lot of medicine, the doctor said that it was for the next conditioning.
The town is not very big, but it is prosperous, because of the proximity to the sea, there are famous seafood markets and restaurants, attracting many merchants and diners, all those who pass through this place can not help but taste the fresh fish, shrimp, crab and mussels, hence the name of the town.
Uncle Ghost and others are naturally no exception, they didn't eat much on this day, and drank a lot of tea in the tea house, which was very stomach-shaping, and at this time they were hungry and gurgling, plus they were not bad for money, so they ordered a big table in a restaurant, and ate and drank. The doctor ordered that he could not eat seafood, of course, he had no appetite to eat after a day, but he ate a lot of porridge and soup.
After eating, I will find an inn to live, Uncle Ghost and porcelain are dead, every place I can't help but go out to play, people with money in their pockets, there are always some bad habits. Of course, this game is about porcelain, but Uncle Ghost is really looking for fun. Although the two went out at the same time, they went their separate ways, after all, the road was different.
exaggerated and weak, so he went to bed early. Ma in the adjacent room is meditating and cultivating, and at the same time, he is guarding the pompous according to the orders of the porcelain ghost.
The next morning, after filling his stomach, he went on the road, and his pompous face was much better. In fact, it is possible to rent flying mounts such as pterosaurs and horned luans, but Porcelain has concerns and does not want to return to the Iron City so quickly, so he still rides ox carts. Although Uncle Ghost said that he had important things to do when he returned to the city, he was very calm, not in a hurry, and walked slowly on horseback. But this day was much faster than yesterday, at least not because of the pompous diarrhea stopped, and the sun was far from setting before it reached the Iron City.
For a long time, the Eagle Hall assassinated a lot of officials and soldiers of the Iron City, and the Iron City was immeasurable due to the damage caused by the Eagle Hall and the Stop, and he had long been eager to eradicate this poisonous fang, but the terrain where the Eagle Peak is located is dangerous, the enchantment is vast, and it is beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers and horses, and its rich armor side, there are dark parts in various places, and it is not easy to remove it. But in Iron City, the hunting order for eagle disciples is quite harsh, and it can be said that the eagle will be killed when it is seen.
Uncle Ghost and Ma Yin were wearing the monogram robes of the Eagle Palace, and before they entered the city, they stayed in a village outside the city to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, and it was not too late to sneak in after dark. And porcelain is a coachman's disguise, so he can naturally enter the city with an exaggerated swagger.
Entering the city, the pompous kept shouting for directions to go to the pavilion first, he was too anxious to see Lan Rui, and the porcelain had to be left to him, so he quickly whipped the ox and roared and rushed away.
After a long time, he finally came to the gate of the pavilion, but he saw that the gate of the wall was locked, and he jumped off the ox cart and ran away, skillfully climbed over the wall and went in, but soon came out of the wall again, with a lost face.
"What? Is no one there? Porcelain guessed curiously. Exaggerated nodded and said, "I've been here countless times, but it's the first time I've encountered this situation." As he spoke, he climbed into the ox cart and lay down on the hay, watching the sunset in the fiery red sky, and was at a loss for a moment. Porcelain turned around and said, "Maybe it's where the family went, come back another day." Exaggerated and melancholy didn't speak, he knew that Lan Rui had never liked to go out, where could she go?
"Where are we going now?" Porcelain asked again. The pompous came back to his senses, and suddenly said ruthlessly: "Fubao Inn!" ā
It was still fast, and soon came to the Fubao Inn. Although the inn was brutally hit by three bull trucks and wrecked corpses, and Uncle Ghost's trick was frozen to the sky, it had been renovated and decorated, and it was still very noisy, and because it was almost dinner time, it was almost full.
Sister Fu Gebao hated exaggeration at this loss, but at this time it was overcrowded, and the exaggeration naturally went in and did not attract attention, and the porcelain was waiting outside the inn with a bull rope, really like a coachman.
The exaggeration first went to room 407 of the small ring building, and when he saw it, it was no longer Ah Tian and Qingfeng who lived inside, and he was even more disappointed. I hurriedly went to the worker's dormitory to find the red starling, and came to her room, and finally saw a slightly familiar face, it was the roommate of the red starling, and asked exaggeratedly, the other party said that he didn't know, only said that the red starling had not come back for more than a month, maybe she eloped with someone, or she may have been abducted, because her things are still there.
Surprised with depression, pompous and don't know what to do, when did Nai get a month, everything became so strange, this time back, it can be said that there is nothing, helpless, I had to hurry out of the inn, after all, I have been in trouble here, I dare not stay for a long time. Seeing that his face was still the same, he guessed that he hadn't found anyone again, so he said, "It's not early, let's find a place to live first." Pompous hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Then go to the inn opposite." He thought that if Ah Tian Qingfeng and the red starling returned to the Fubao Inn, they might be able to meet each other.
Porcelain pulled the bull rope, turned around and went to the opposite side of the intersection, entered the inn and opened four rooms, and gave one of the door keys to the pompous. The exaggeration was always absent-minded, and after taking the key, he did not follow him upstairs, but went out of the inn alone, saying that he was going out for a walk.
It was getting dark, but Uncle Ghost didn't rush into the Iron City, but was relaxing in the yard, when Ma came over and said, "Lord Ghost, if your subordinates have something to do, I'll leave first." ā
Uncle Ghost didn't turn to look at him, just waved his hand lightly and motioned for him to go. Ma hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The hall master instructed that on the third day after entering the city, he could report all of his subordinates' trip to the ghost lord." Now, please bear with me, and don't worry too much. Uncle Ghost still didn't look at him, just nodded, secretly wondered what was going on after three days, Ma didn't say anything more, and hurriedly retired.
I don't know how long I wandered, but I forgot that my feet were sore, and I walked and stopped exaggeratedly, sometimes looking back and looking around, sometimes squatting on the side of the street.
At this time, he stood under a lantern on the side of the street, lost his mind for a long time, and there was a hungry howl in his stomach, so he woke up, touched the flat money bag, and then walked to the nearby snack street, he has been delivering food for many years, and is quite familiar with this area.
The snack street is full of people, shouting and undulating, and mixed with spices. Exaggerated casually bought something and walked while eating, and suddenly the back of a pink jacket and skirt and double bun flashed in the crowd, he couldn't help but feel a pound in his heart, and he got closer to take a look, wasn't that person Lan Rui!
Just as he was about to rush up, he suddenly stopped his steps again, only to see a man walking beside Lan Rui, this man was tall and well-behaved, extraordinary and smiling peacefully, and the two of them were also eating and walking, talking and laughing.
The pompous was dumbfounded for a while, only to feel that the man was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it, so he quickly walked around the crowd and came to a stall not far in front of the two of them, and peeked while pretending to buy something.
This is a steamed bun stall, business is good, the steamer is layered, wafting out a thick steaming mist, and the pompous also deliberately stands next to the steamer to cover up the thick fog. Through the mist, I was able to see the man's face clearly, and I suddenly remembered that it was the general who rescued him when he was beaten up on Sanjian Street before! Although he was dressed in civilian clothes at this time, he still made people feel a trace of military might.
This general is Xun Mingpo.
They got closer and closer, pompous and didn't dare to peek anymore, and got a little closer to the thick fog, picked up the bun with one hand and gave the money with the other, and stood there and ate it in a panic. Lan Rui couldn't see it, but the general had seen himself. I thought the two of them would walk over, but I didn't know if they didn't, but they also walked to this bun stall.
The voice was so noisy, but Lan Rui could still be heard laughing very clearly: "What kind of buns are sold?" At this time, there are several people buying bags, and the hawkers are busy picking up the buns and putting them into paper bags, and they don't raise their heads and answer: "The signs are written, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, vegetable packets, meat packets, sauce packs, soup dumplings!" ā
The hawker naturally didn't know that Lan Rui couldn't see it, and his response made Lan Rui a little dazed, and Xun Mingpo was not only dissatisfied with the hawker's attitude, but said to Lan Rui with a smile: "I have tasted almost all of these buns, and I still remember some of the tastes...... and then said something about the buns.
In fact, every type of pompous of these buns has been bought for Lan Rui to eat, and they have all been introduced in detail, I don't know if she has forgotten it. Fu Ku has worked in the inn for many years, and knows a lot about dim sum, so he can naturally say it in detail, but this general said it at this time, only briefly mentioning the taste and vegetarian meat, but he can still make Lan Rui laugh.
I don't know why I haven't done anything wrong, but I am so flustered, I only eat the buns in a big gulp, and after eating what I have in my hand, I inadvertently pick up the stall to eat, and I don't know how many I have eaten.
When the peddler looked up, he saw him hiding by the steamer and eating violently, thinking that he was a beggar or a thief, and immediately shouted, "Hey! How many buns did you eat? Did you give the money?! This drink frightened the exaggeration on the spot, and he hurriedly reached out to take out the money, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart, the money bag was empty.
When the peddler saw that he didn't give money, he was even more angry and shouted, "This is a bag thief!" Catch him!! The surrounding pedestrians listened and watched, and they faced a pair of strange eyes exaggeratedly, especially when they saw Lan Rui also cast such a gaze, although they knew that she couldn't see herself, she was still endlessly ashamed in her heart, and she couldn't wait for the whole person to hide in this steamer and evaporate with the mist.
As a general defending the city, Xun Ming broke the city and took it as his responsibility to maintain law and order in the city, so he was naturally vicious and hateful, and immediately grabbed his exaggerated clothes and pulled him out of the fog.
After being stunned for a moment, he let go of the hand that was holding the pompousness, and then took out the money to give it to the vendor, saying, "It's a misunderstanding, I gave it to him." Seeing that he handed over a lot of money, the vendor hurriedly bowed and smiled, and quickly grabbed a paper bag of buns and handed it to Lan Rui, saying that it was a gift.
Lan Rui took it and asked curiously, "Brother Mingpo, what happened?" Xun Ming smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a misunderstanding." With that, he led her away. The pedestrians around saw that they were bored, and they all dispersed.
Seeing Lan Rui being led farther and farther, the exaggerated heart suddenly became anxious again, what panic, what shame, all pressed down, he suddenly raised his heavy feet, rushed up and shouted:
"Lan Rui!"
