Chapter 90: Suspicious Appearance
Before the news of Baisha was confirmed, Li Jian planned not to act for the time being, in fact, he did the same, since returning to Luzon, Li Jian can be said to be dual-minded. On the one hand, several martial arts masters taught Li Jian to practice martial arts, and on the other hand, they were also planning actions against Baisha and his gang. Although Li Jian said that he had not left for the time being, these things were secretly in full swing.
Li Jian, who was forcibly changed by Dai Zong, and whose muscles and acupoints were smooth all over his body the day after tomorrow seemed to have an epiphany, and he was obsessed with learning, but he had no feelings for the few martial arts masters who taught him later, and his task was just to learn. When it was time for martial arts practice, Li Jian would begin to arrange characters for his subordinates, most of whom were focused on Bai Sha's whereabouts.
At the wharf in Luzon, Zheng Zhilong and Li Yao were very close to each other, and because the fleet was in charge, Li Yao did not make any moves against the fleet for the time being, and the two parties were also peaceful, but I don't know how long this state can be maintained.
The small palace in Luzon and the market town where Baisha is located, Baisha and Li Jian are not far away, and Baisha, who is hiding his whereabouts, has not been discovered.
Zheng Zhilong and Bai Sha are both facing pressure from Li Dan's forces now, and now they seem to be calm on the surface, but once Li Yao's patience is not worn out or Bai Sha's traces are discovered, they will immediately set off huge waves.

Bai Sha finally won the trust of the old man, and the drunken old man got up early in the morning to clean up the yard, but the yard had already been cleaned up by Bai Sha, and Bai Sha disappeared, I don't know where he went.
Bai Sha spent money to buy all the old man's sandals, and now all the sandals are placed in the room to buy, the old man now has no stock in his hands, and he has no plans to go to the street today, so he found materials to make straw sandals, and began to weave straw shoes in the yard alone.
The little girl woke up and found the drag child lying next to her, thinking of the big brother who had done a good job after cooking, the little girl felt that life was really happy, smiled with satisfaction, and then hugged the big cat and refused to let go.
Bai Sha went out early in the morning, and now his purpose is to hide his identity, but this does not mean sitting still, many things must be understood before they can be better laid out to deal with the next dilemma.
According to the old man who sold straw shoes, the market town used to be very rich, and Baisha has never come here, except for stepping on a bluestone road into the town, and then went directly to the old man's house to live in the straw shoes. In fact, Bai Sha went grocery shopping with his grandparents and grandchildren yesterday, including the previous conflict with the tattooed man, which was very unwise, so that it was easy for people to find out their identity.
Most of the people living in this market town are locals, and most of them know each other, and if Baisha covers his face with a mask in the old way, it will become an anomaly, this method will not work, only to change the image.
The white sand spreads the bunched hair and looks fluffy, so that it can cover most of the face.
Baisha is ready to use this market town as a breakthrough to see if he can get some of the information he needs.
The center of the market town also looks quite lively, which is very different from the bluestone paved road that enters the market town. The more you get to the crowded place, the more you need to be careful in Baisha, it's morning, the market town is bustling with people walking, and the vendors have opened their doors to start business. Baisha is like a local, asking about the price of goods and communicating with the vendors.
The market town is relatively close to the border of Luzon, and Baisha will not be surprised to speak, most of the people in this area are overseas Chinese, and most of them came from Daming to do business, so that Baisha will not be alienated because of different voices.
When I came to Baisha in the market town, I understood why the grandfather and grandson who sold straw shoes could only sell straw shoes in the most remote place, on both sides of the bluestone road, because there was no place for them in the market town. Bai Shada heard that anyone who set up a stall in the market town needed to pay a lot of fees to the local managers, and the people who collected these fees were naturally Li Dan's forces.
For the old man who sells straw sandals, he doesn't know how many straw shoes he needs to sell to be able to pay the fee, and there is no way to barely survive only by going to the most remote places and places where no one charges fees.
This is the result of commodity trading, where there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor, everywhere.
After inquiring, Bai Sha found out where the so-called managers lived in the market town, and then walked to this place.
These managers belong to Li Dan's forces, and compared to the Wind Thunder Hall on the third supply point, these people are really not enough, and the difference is too big. However, in this market town, they are a pair of eyes planted by Li Dan, which is equivalent to the existence of a yamen in the Ming Dynasty, and has a transcendent status in the market town.
Bai Sha simply passed by the door and did not check in detail.
There are also restaurants and teahouses in the market town, but the scale is a little smaller, Baisha is not interested in these places for the time being, and it is not a step to get the news, now Baisha needs to be careful, and today is just to find out first, and the specific investigation still needs to be slowly figured, Baisha, who has walked around the town, does not feel that there is anything special, look at the time, and return to the residence.
Bai Sha walked slowly, slowly towards the residence. The place of residence is not far from the bluestone road, very remote, there is a small road back to the residence from the market town, but you have to pass through a forest, the white sand is now walking slowly in the woods, after the woods are finished, you can see the location of the thatched hut from a distance, but the white sand that is about to come out of the woods stops.
At this moment, outside the hut, there is a man in ordinary clothes walking by, which is not an unusual thing. But the old man said that this place was remote, and no one usually came here, and the people who passed by outside the hut looked suspicious, and his eyes were always looking at the hut, and when he was at the door, he stopped to watch, and said a few words inside.
Bai Sha watched quietly in the woods, and when he was sure that the man was leaving, Bai Sha slowly walked out and quickly returned to the hut.
The courtyard door of the thatched hut was not closed, and from the outside, you could see the old man weaving straw sandals inside, and when he saw Baisha with no figure early in the morning, the old man quickly put down the work in his hand and got up to pour a bowl of water for Baisha.
The small wooden table that was moved out last night was cleaned up and did not move back into the house, and now Bai Sha was drinking water next to the small wooden table, and then asked: "Uncle, I saw a person passing by outside just now, do you know him?" ”
The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know, and I'm very strange, I haven't seen anyone else pass by outside for a long time. ”
Bai Sha thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Did he tell you anything?" ”
The old man grinned and said, "He just asked for directions, and he asked how many people were in my house, and he didn't say anything else." Don't say it, since you moved into our house, people have passed by outside, which is the old man's luck. ”
Baisha was not as optimistic as the old man, and said, "Uncle, how many people did you tell him?" ”
"I don't think he's a bad guy, so I didn't hide it, saying that it was two people, and then a new guest stayed yesterday. What's wrong, what's the problem? The old man said with a blank expression.
Bai Sha shook his head, thinking in his heart that the problem was too big, this old man was too sincere, and he didn't want to think about how a person who asked for directions would suddenly ask the general question of how many people live in the family. Bai Sha is now big for a while, he doesn't know what the suspicious person is, if it is simply asking for directions or wanting to kill people and grab money, there is no problem, Bai Sha can easily solve it, but if the other party's goal is to put it on himself, it will be more troublesome, he can walk away, but it will affect the grandfather and grandson.
Bai Sha had to plan for the worst, taking the person who passed by just now as Li Dan's person, assuming that he had been discovered. If that's the case, there's no doubt that this person will reappear.
If this person appears again, then it will confirm that Baisha has been targeted.
Since you have prepared for the worst, you must be prepared. When Baisha told the other party that his identity was Li Dan's person, he almost didn't have it, and the other party was so scared that he peed his pants, and now Baisha is really good enough to be useful to the other party.
"Uncle, do you believe me?" Bai Sha said.
The old man looked at Bai Sha with a puzzled look and said, "Whatever you say, I definitely believe you." ”
Bai Sha smiled and said, "Uncle, have you noticed any changes in your vegetable garden today?" ”
The old man didn't raise his head and said, "Hey, I don't know who trampled on the green vegetables I planted, and it was the bad grain." ”
Bai Sha said slowly: "It was the tattooed man who did it yesterday on the bluestone road." ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then said with some fear: "How do you know? Did they really come looking for trouble yesterday? Are you okay? ”
Faced with the old man's three questions, Bai Sha said: "Uncle, have you forgotten that I could easily crush a stone yesterday?" ”
The old man nodded and said, "Then presumably that street bully was driven away by you, and he won't be looking for him, right?" ”
Bai Sha said with a smile: "Uncle, he won't come to the door by himself, but I will invite him over." ”
The old man was stunned, not knowing what Baisha meant.
Bai Sha said slowly: "Uncle, to tell you the truth, in fact, my identity is quite special, I suspect that the person who asked for directions just now is coming for me, and now I want to ask you for a favor." ”
The old man hurriedly said, "I can't say anything wrong, right, is it really for you to ask for directions?" ”
The old man first expressed concern for the safety of Baisha and was very kind.
Bai Sha said: "I beat the tattooed man to the end of the day, and the condition for letting him go is to make a cow and a horse for me, I didn't need him, but I suspect that someone is eyeing me now, so I want the tattooed man to live in my place for a few days." ”
