The town's market was as bustling as anywhere else, and Mo Lu drove the carriage to a large restaurant next to the market and stopped at the door, and the four of us jumped out of the carriage and walked in.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw a customer coming to the door, he hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to say hello, and the four of us sat down next to the bright wooden table to beckon the shopkeeper to come to the store to get the food. The shopkeeper should go, and after a while, he turned around and walked back with the food, and now the four of us are all hungry, as long as we can fill our stomachs, we don't care if the food is good or bad.

As soon as the meal was served, the four of us grabbed bamboo chopsticks and ate it, and I didn't forget to ask Xiaobai for a plate of cooked beef.

We were eating happily when we heard a slight chatter coming from the table next door, and I turned my eyes to see three lean men. The three thin people in front of them look different from other thin people, other thin people are nothing more than thin by hunger, and the skin and flesh of the whole body can't grow meat, but the leanness of the three people in front of them is similar to the kind of thin that is similar to the capable, although the body is thin, but the green tendons are prominent, the strong muscles can be vaguely seen in the forearms and thighs, the eyes are bright, and the edges and corners between the eyebrows are clear.

The small talk of the three of them was not intentional, but vaguely I heard the three of them talk about Xufu.

Mo Lu saw that I was stunned, and touched me gently, "Bi Gongzi......." ”

I turned my head to look at him and said quietly, "Senior Mo, those three people are ......." I squinted at them.

Mo Lu followed my gaze and pretended to look at it unintentionally, and then whispered: "These three people are not very human! ”

I nodded slightly, lowered my voice and said, "I also feel it, I just heard them talking about the Xu Mansion!" ”

"Looking at their outfits, I'm afraid they're also bandits or something!" Mo Lu bowed his head and continued to eat.

"They're bandits?" I was a little surprised, and unconsciously turned my head to look again.

Mo Lu lowered his voice and said: "The eyes of the three of them are flickering, and their hands and feet are quite flexible, and there are skin calluses in their palms, which are caused by being used to swords, plus they are whispering, I am afraid that they are playing some bad idea!" ”

I glanced at the rice bowl in my hand again, and this time I deliberately looked at it carefully according to what Mo Lu said, and it was really like what Mo Lu said, these three people are definitely not a good thing.

While I was wondering, I saw an old man walking slowly towards their table, the old man was tall and thin, and there was a pair of reading glasses as thick as the bottom of a bottle on the bridge of his nose, and he laughed kindly as soon as he approached the wooden table.

I thought that these three thin men would be eager to let him go when they saw this tall and thin old man, but unexpectedly, the three of them got up at the same time and bowed slightly to the old man, which made me look at the old man impressed.

Reading glasses, a tall and thin old man, and he looks like an old pedant, etc., where do I seem to have seen this old man? Be...... Mr. Lao, yes, it is Mr. Lao, the painter who drew the topographic map of the Xu family's compound in the red fox's cottage.

How could he be here?

Mo Lu didn't speak again, but the two girls on the side, Xiaodouzi and Yue'er, saw my strangeness, and couldn't help but look at my mouth and asked, "Brother Bi, do those people have a problem?" ”

I said quietly, "I know that old man!" ”

When Xiaodouzi and Yue'er heard me say this, they hurriedly turned their heads to look, and even when Mo Lu heard this, they couldn't help but turn their heads and pretend to glance at them unintentionally, and then continued to eat, and asked in a low voice, "How did Bi Gongzi know that old man?" ”

"It's a long story, I've seen this old man in the Red Fox's cottage!" I motioned for Xiaodouzi and Yue'er to stop looking at him, and then turned around and continued to eat.

"Oh?" When the three of them heard me say this, they immediately became interested.

I glanced at the three of them, and slowly said the whole thing I had experienced, and added at the end, "At the beginning, I thought that this old gentleman surnamed Lao was not an ordinary person, but now it seems that it is really unusual!" ”

Mo Lu pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Since this Mr. Lao used to be a painter for the red fox, and now it is related to these three thin men, then there must be something strange about this matter, Bi Gongzi, I think this matter may be related to Miss Hong, we might as well check it in secret before leaving!" ”

Originally, I also meant this, but now that Mo Lu said this, of course I agreed, but what did Xiaodouzi and Yue'er think? Thinking so, I couldn't help but turn my head to look at the two girls.

The two little girls have a heart-to-heart, seeing that I am looking at them, they are immediately busy nodding, and they can see that they are burning with a heart of gossip, okay, dare to love the two of them are not only two foodies, but also two little girls who like gossip!

Now that the decision has been made, then the four of us continued to eat quietly, and did not forget to eavesdrop on the chatter of the four of them in the interval between eating, but it is a pity that since the appearance of the old man Lao, the four of them have spoken a lot quieter, no matter how we eavesdrop, we can't hear clearly, and we haven't heard even a little useful information for a long time.

I couldn't help but sigh, pondering what he could do in my heart.

"......Boy, boy, you really like to meddle along the way!" Suddenly, the strange old man's voice sounded in my heart again.

"Master, how can this be said to be an idle matter? This is something related to the Red Fox and the Xu Mansion, the Red Fox and the Old Man Xu are both related to me, how can this be an idle matter? I couldn't get interested, and whispered to myself.

"Boy, that thin and tall boiler is not something you can handle!" The strange old man said again.

"Why can't you deal with it?" I asked casually.

"Haven't you heard of a saying, boy, people can't be good-looking!"

Listening to the strange old man's words, I can understand, the so-called master is in the folk, no matter when you can't underestimate the seemingly inconspicuous little people around you, he may be inconspicuous in your eyes, but he may be a master in a certain aspect!

"So what should I do?" I asked, a little embarrassed.

"Wait and see!" The strange old man dropped four words and there was no more sound.

As I ate, I pretended to glance at the four men again, and the old man was discussing something with the three lean men, and the four lean men nodded from time to time, as if listening to a person deploy a strategy.

With just such a meal, these three lean men and Old Man Lao actually ate for more than an hour!

When it was close to noon, the four of them got up and called the shopkeeper to settle the bill, watching the four of them come out one after another, I lowered my voice and said to Mo Lu and Xiaodouzi Yue'er: "Let's follow them and see what they plan to do?" ”

Mo Lu didn't say anything, but Xiaodouzi and Yue'er on the side were full of excitement, the two little girls were originally curious, and they were naturally happy to do such things as tracking others to peep into their privacy, so they didn't express any objections.

After settling the bill, the four of us went out of the restaurant, and as soon as we got out of the restaurant, we got into the carriage, because I had seen this Mr. Lo before, so I hid in the carriage this time.

Mo Lu is worthy of being a person in the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't need to ask around when he drives the carriage, and after a while, he found the three lean men hugging Mr. Lao forward, Mo Lu quietly slowed down the speed of the carriage, so that the distance between the front and back could be hundreds of meters, and the four people in front of them would not notice that someone was following them.

Just walked and stopped, and about half an hour later, the four people in front of them actually flashed into a house.

Mo Lu hurriedly drove the carriage over and stopped not far from the house.
