Volume 1 The Uncle Lives in Seclusion and Opens a B&B, The Swordsman Prodigal Son Comes by Fate Chapter 8 The Underground Tavern
"Lost your wallet?" Wang Mo frowned and hurriedly looked around, but there were too many people here, and there were all heads as far as the eye could see. For a while, it was not easy to find strange people in the crowd, Wang Mo looked around and said, "How could this happen? ”
Yun Qing looked at Wang Mo with a pitiful face and asked for help, "Uncle, can you help us?" Our two little girls also lost their wallets that they didn't know each other, can you bear to see us so miserable?"
Wang Mo said with a look of embarrassment: "Oh, it's not that I don't want to help, but how can I help you? Wang Mo looked up at the dense crowd around him and said helplessly.
Wen Ya on the side couldn't help crying anymore when she heard this, Wang Mo saw such a gentle little girl crying pear blossoms with rain, and her heart was softened by crying.
Yun Qing was better, and she was quite calm at this time. While comforting Wen Ya, she looked at Wang Mo with a pleading eye and said, "We only know you uncle here, I can feel that Uncle must be a very good person, you will definitely help us, right?"
Wang Mo looked at the two girls, sighed helplessly, and said, "Hey, okay, okay." You two wait here for a while, and I'll look around and see if I can find anyone who stole your things, and if I can't find it, I won't leave you alone. Come, come with me first. ”
The two girls followed Wang Mo to Hu Lao's stall, Wang Mo clasped his hands and said, "Hu Lao, please have something to do with you." ”
Hu Lao was still concentrating on roasting the osmanthus fish there, and then said, "What's going on? These two beauties are the guests you said? ”
"Don't talk nonsense. Wang Mo hurriedly stopped Hu Lao's nonsense and said, "My two friends' wallets were stolen just now, I'll help them find them." I'll let them stay with you first, and you can take care of it for me?"
"The wallet was stolen?" Hu Lao frowned and said, "You actually did something in front of my stall, is this bullying me Hu?"
"Don't mind, Old Hu. Don't think about it, people definitely don't want to kick you on the field, you sell your fish well. Wang Mo hurriedly pressed Hu Lao's shoulder and comforted, "I'll take a look at the rest, you help me take care of the two girls first." ”
Hu Lao looked at the crowd of guests waiting to eat fish, and finally felt that making money was more practical than regaining the so-called face. He nodded and said, "Okay, but you can see it here too, it's very busy." Just tell the girls not to run around. ”
At this time, Yunqing said, "Hello uncle, can we help you? We are very interested in your grilled osmanthus fish, can we give you a part-time job to eat your two fish?"
Hu Xiaomei sneered on the side and said, "I didn't expect you two to be foodies, and you still want to eat at this time." ”
Yunqing was a little embarrassed to be said, "Isn't there no way, I lost everything, I can't even eat in the end." ”
Hu Lao couldn't help but laugh at what Yun Qing said, he nodded and said, "Okay, it just so happens that it's quite busy here, if you two don't feel dirty, you two can help the little sister pick up the fish together." Then Hu Lao finally pulled out of his grilled fish stove and grabbed Wang Mo, who was about to leave, and said, "Recently, with the increase in the number of people here, there have indeed been a few sneaky incidents, and I think it is unlikely that it is an outsider." ”
Wang Mo asked thoughtfully, "Old Hu, do you know anything?"
Hu Lao looked into the distance and said, "You said that you are good at this kind of thing, who is there around here?"
Wang Mo said noncommittally, "No, even if you are downcast, you won't do this, .....right?"
Hu Lao interrupted Wang Mo's words and said, "Don't mention the old Huang calendar, hundreds of years have passed? Who still remembers the pride of the past? Now we are all ordinary people, and it is not uncommon for us to be able to do anything." ”
Wang Mo sighed and said, "It's okay, if that's the case, I'll just get my wallet back, and I won't be too embarrassed." After saying that, Wang Mo left here, Hu Lao looked at Wang Mo who was leaving, shook his head, and said softly: "How do you deal with us, what do you care?
Wang Mo, who left the stall, thought about what Hu Lao said to himself just now, and secretly thought, "If this is the case, it is really embarrassing, but this also reminds me that even if those people didn't do it, with their ability, they must know the situation of the thieves who have been active in this neighborhood recently." ”
There is also a small town near the snack street, which is Linghu Town. It used to be a remote village when it was not developed, and the people who lived here probably would never have been exposed to the outside world several times in their lives. However, with the development of Linghu Lake, a tourist town with unique local characteristics has been built here. There are many shops, restaurants, and even pubs, as well as many guesthouses. However, those who choose to stay here are generally well-off, as it is more than twice as expensive as it is outside.
Wang Mo familiarly shuttled through the town and came to an inconspicuous tavern in the corner. The tavern is divided into two floors, one above ground and one underground. On this floor of the ground sparsely sat some tired tourists or tourists staying in the town, who usually ordered a cocktail or craft beer and sat by the window to pass the time.
There are not many black-haired and white-skinned Han people, and most of them are Xiluo nobles with various colors of hair and eyes. Only these nobles will have the money and leisure to enjoy life here, and the average Donghan people just take advantage of the holiday to come here in a hurry to play for a few days, and then they have to return to their original life and work hard.
Today's Wang Mo can't say that he dislikes or likes these Xiluo nobles, so he didn't stay too long and went straight to the staircase. When Wang Mo arrived at the staircase, two young men with hats stopped him, and Wang Mo said, "My own people, my own people." ”
The two young men saw that it was Wang Mo who signaled him to go down, and after going down to the ground, it was obviously different from the above. The environment below was very dark, and there were no Han and Xiluo nobles in sight, and there were only a few people sitting and drinking as far as the eye could see, all of them wearing hats or turbans on their heads.
Wang Mo was obviously familiar with this place, and sat down at the central bar with ease. A thin middle-aged man with a mustache saw the visitor and said enthusiastically, "Oh, look who's coming? Isn't this our friend Wang Mo?"
"Okay, Songkatsu, put away the way you learned to greet the nobles of Xiluo. Wang Mo waved his hand and said unceremoniously.
Song Katsuji smiled wryly and said, "It's still the same?"
"Ah, the same old way. I can't get used to anything else you know. Wang Mo knocked on the table, where two silver coins had already been placed.
Soon, a glass of red crystal clear liquid was placed in front of Wang Mo, Wang Mo picked it up and took a sip and sighed, "It's still not as good as the red wine brewed by Xu Da Meinu herself." ”
"It's been a long time since you've been here, brother, why are you here this time?" asked Song Katsuji as he sat behind the bar and smiled.
Wang Mo continued to take a sip of red wine and said, "Ah, I won't go around the bend when we are so familiar, I came to ask you if our Linghu has been a thief recently?"
After Wang Mo finished speaking, he looked up at the other party, observing any subtle expression of the other party. Sure enough, he saw Song Keji, and the corners of his eyes involuntarily shrank after hearing the word thief, and then he laughed and said, "What are you kidding, brother, you should ask the rank security team of Lingcheng for this kind of thing, why did you ask me here?"
"Let's not mention that those guys from the Order Protection Brigade can't control this side now, and even if they manage this side, I don't think they will be more well-informed than you, right?" Wang Mo said, shaking his wine glass.
Song Keji was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Wang Mo, and his smile gradually became stiff. He shrugged and said, "Then you really think about my brother wrong, I really don't know about this matter." ”
Wang Mo scratched his hair and said with a sad face: "Oh, I don't know, this is really troublesome, Lao Song, you know, I hate trouble the most." And don't you think you shouldn't be more honest with your Eldar friends?"
Hearing Wang Mo's words, Song Keji's expression gradually became serious, and he put away his previous laughter. He sighed and said, "Of course we understand that we shouldn't treat the benefactors of the Spirit Clan like this, but we really don't know. ”
Wang Mo heard that the other party still raised his head so suddenly, and Song Keji on the other side saw the other party's somewhat scarlet eyes, trembling all over, and stammered, "You just spare me, I really can't say it." Otherwise, if someone's money is stolen from your side, I'll just pay you. ”
At this time, the people on this underground floor stood up one after another and surrounded Wang Mo, but Wang Mo didn't pay any attention to the changes around him, just looked at Song Keji deadly.
"Lao Song, now this matter is not a matter of money, I must know what happened. ”
