Chapter 51: Inquiry
There was a knock on the door of a small courtyard in the south of Huilong Town.
With a "squeak", the door opened.
"You're back, sir." The owner said cautiously.
"You didn't take the opportunity to rent out my small courtyard!" Mu Chengru said in Chen Guohua.
"How is it possible, you just borrow ten small dares, and the little ones don't dare!" The owner said with a flattering face.
"Okay, let you bring me what I prepared before I go!" Mu Chengru said unceremoniously.
"Master, wait a minute, I'll get it for you right away." The owner turned around and walked inside.
Mu Chengru took the opportunity to look at the owner's yard.
Mu Chengru suddenly saw a small piece of clothing leaking out of the crack in the door of the room next to him.
The owner of the corner of the clothes seemed to feel something, and quickly pulled the corners of the clothes in.
Now Mu Chengru can be regarded as seeing clearly, it turned out that the child of the owner's family was hiding there.
At this time, the owner of the house came back and saw this scene, and said tremblingly, "Master, don't be angry, the child is not sensible, and he unintentionally collided with you." ”
Mu Chengru took the burden from the landlord's hand and said, "It's okay, I looked at him and remembered my son who was far away in the northwest." ”
After Mu Chengru finished speaking, he took his things and turned around and left.
The owner of the house looked at Mu Chengru who was far away, patted his chest, and said with palpitations: "This Chen Guoren is much better than other Chen Guoren." ”
Mu Chengru's mood at the moment was very complicated, he had never been as glad that he had escaped as he was now.
Judging from the reaction of the owner of the house, Chen Guoren should be very cruel to the locals, and it seems that he should be careful in the future so as not to fall into this trap.
Mu Chengru returned to the small courtyard and took out the things in the baggage.
Mu Chenghu looked at the pile of rouge gouache on the table and said, "Second brother, you are going to give us makeup." ”
"Yes, everyone's face shape is still a little different from Chen Guoren, so for the sake of safety, I will dress up for everyone." Mu Chengru was a little surprised, how did Mu Chenghu guess.
"No, I don't want to wipe these things on my face." Mu Ergou looked like he was sworn to death.
Mu Qingyuan said with a straight face: "What kind of system is this, how do we still do when it is passed on?" ”
As soon as Mu Chengru's words came out, he was strongly opposed by Mu Qingyuan and Mu Ergou, and Mu Chenghu said that he was used to seeing women's clothing bosses, and there was nothing he couldn't accept when he drew a pretend.
"This has to be painted, the first two times we went to the place where there were not many people and there was no chance of being discovered, this time we went to a place with many people and a lot of people, and if we were not careful, we would be discovered." Mu Chengru had to explain patiently.
"Second brother, didn't you say that the danger was relatively small this time?" Mu Chenghu asked with some concern.
"The last two times we mainly went to inquire about the military, it was naturally dangerous, but this time we just went to restaurants and brothels to inquire about the news, which is naturally safer, but the contact with more people. Although exposure is not life-threatening, it is difficult to say whether you can find out the news. Mu Chengru analyzed the relationship for everyone again.
"Sixth uncle, two dogs, you can melt it! After all, it's safer. Mu Chenghu persuaded.
Mu Qingyuan and Mu Ergou had to agree to disguise themselves under the continuous persuasion of the two Mu Chenghu brothers.
As a result, when it was Mu Chenghu's turn, Mu Chengru actually put away the rouge gouache.
"Second child, why don't you disguise the third child, you are not fair." Mu Qingyuan pointed at Mu Chenghu and said angrily.
"Sixth uncle, look at the third child's rough skin and thick flesh, he looks like Chen Guoren without makeup. That's all for him, what we'll use for the next few days. Mu Chengru explained with a smile.
Mu Qingyuan and Mu Ergou looked at Mu Chenghu and said that it was indeed the case.
Now Mu Chenghu quit, Mu Chenghu said vigorously, "You are jealous of Chiguoguo, jealous of my ......"
Mu Chengru saw that Mu Chenghu couldn't say why for a long time, and said a little unkindly, "Is it difficult, the three of us are still jealous of your flower and moon appearance." ”
"Haha, haha......" Mu Chengru's words fell, and Mu Qingyuan and Mu Ergou laughed together.
Mu Chenghu looked at Mu Qingyuan and Mu Ergou's happy appearance, and he no longer pursued Mu Chengru for making fun of him.
Mu Chengru saw Mu Qingyuan and the others stop, and said, "Next, we will divide into two groups, me and Ergou in a group, and Sixth Uncle and Lao San in a group." ”
"Everyone saves some money, and everyone doesn't have much money left." When Mu Chenghu heard this, he took out a few pieces of broken silver and gave them to Mu Chengru.
"Let's go separately, the sixth uncle and the third will go first, we will go out later, you pay attention to safety." Mu Chengru said uneasily.
Mu Chenghu took the sixth uncle and walked into a restaurant, it's not that Mu Chenghu didn't want to go to the Qinglou, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to speak clearly after he went back, so this kind of beautiful errand was left to the second brother and them.
Mu Chengru and the others found a corner in the hall of the restaurant and sat down.
Mu Qingyuan ordered a plate of peanuts and a pot of wine with Chen Guohua, which he had repeatedly practiced countless times in private.
Mu Qingyuan was not very easy to ask about something because of his personality, and Mu Chenghu could only sit because he couldn't speak Chen Guohua.
Seeing that the peanuts were almost finished and the wine was almost finished, the shopkeeper also came to the table and turned around two or three times.
Mu Chenghu had the intention to ask Mu Qingyuan to order something, but he couldn't speak.
Just as Mu Chenghu was about to signal Mu Qingyuan to leave, a large group of people walked in from outside.
"Boss, bring us your good wine and food." The leader said to the boss.
Mu Chenghu thought to himself how could this group of people appear here, and they blatantly came here to eat, who were they.
The people in the restaurant dispersed one after another, but Mu Chenghu and the others could only stay and watch the changes.
Fortunately, the group of people left quickly after eating.
As soon as Mu Chenghu saw this group of people leaving, he immediately left the restaurant with Mu Qingyuan.
Mu Chenghu and the others walked not far away, and they saw a group of officers and soldiers running towards the restaurant.
Mu Chenghu and the others both let out a long breath when they saw this.
Next, Mu Chenghu took Mu Qingyuan to sit in a tea shed in the south of the city for a while, probably because the weather was too cold, there were not many people in the tea shed.
It's just that it's probably because Mu Chenghu and the others are from Chen Guo, and a few bold people actually came over and chatted with them.
"Two old men, do you know why this place is called Back to Dragon Town?" A tall man said.
Mu Chenghu took the man's hand off his shoulder with some impatience.
Who knows, the man didn't mind and continued: "Legend has it that there is a temple gate in this place, and the two dragon heads on the pillars on both sides are facing down, ready to leave the temple and become immortals, but unfortunately they are fixed on the pillar by a passing immortal head down, so this place is called back to Dragon Town. ”
After the man finished speaking, he saw that Mu Chenghu and the others still ignored him, and he consciously talked about some other things boringly.
It's just that no matter what the man said, Mu Chenghu and the others ignored him. In the end, the man had no choice but to give up.
In the evening, Mu Chenghu told Mu Chengru about the team that the two of them met in the restaurant and the strange thing they met in the tea shed.
Mu Chengru told them that the person in the tea shed was probably also coming to inquire about the news, and told Mu Chenghu that they must be careful.
In the next few days, Mu Chenghu and the others walked through the restaurants, tea sheds, inns, and green buildings in the city, but they didn't hear much useful news, which made Mu Chenghu and the others inevitably a little anxious.
Fortunately, Mu Chengru and the others heard a lot of useful news.
