Chapter 977: Inquiry
Chu Xintian listened to the words of the white shopkeeper and looked at the street outside.
Sure enough, the white shopkeeper was right. Walking on the street, no matter whether his face is from the Central Plains or Liao, he is dressed like Boss Bai.
In such a multi-ethnic place, cultural practices are interpenetrating and influencing each other.
Compared with the people of Wulan Town, the simple costumes of Chu Xintian and Zhao Wu in the Central Plains seem a little out of place, which is very strange!
Many were injured.
In order to allow the wounded to have a better rest and recover quickly, Zhao Wucai ordered so many rooms.
The shopkeeper was very happy. Seeing so many people injured, I asked with concern, "Guests, what happened to you?" Have you met a wolf?"
Hearing the white shopkeeper's question, Chu Xintian was very vigilant.
"Shopkeeper, why are you like this?" Chu Xintian felt strange.
After they entered, no one told the white shopkeeper that they had been attacked by wolves. But the white shopkeeper opened his mouth to explain the reason for their support. People are naturally suspicious!
Seeing Chu Xintian's serious face, the white shopkeeper immediately smiled: "The guest officer doesn't know anything." There are many wolves on the border of Youzhou. Because Youzhou is far from here, it will take at least two hours to get there. As a result, many guests will sleep during their trip. There are quite a few people who have been attacked by wolves, and many of them have lost their lives. I see that your costume is from the capital. The last stop was definitely Youzhou, so I guessed it was a wolf. ”
Chu Xintian stared at the white shopkeeper's eyes. He thought, his eyes didn't dodge when he said that. This does not seem to be a lie.
In addition, the white shopkeeper lives here. He knows his surroundings better than they do. So it's not hard to guess.
However, Chu Xintian was not familiar with the white shopkeeper. She could do nothing to him. She didn't admit that they had been attacked by wolves.
"White shopkeeper, please prepare some more meals and send them to the guest room. Also, prepare some bath water. Chu Xintian spoke to the shopkeeper before going upstairs.
"Well, don't worry. I'll get you ready right away!"
Chu Xintian nodded, went upstairs and took two steps. Suddenly, he thought of something and stopped.
"By the way, shopkeeper Bai, can I ask you one thing?"
The white shopkeeper quickly smiled, "Guest officer, if you have anything, just ask!"
"Shopkeeper, how many years have you lived in this town?"
Chu Xintian didn't directly ask her what she wanted to ask, but first asked about the background of the white shopkeeper.
The white shopkeeper looks to be in his forties, and he is not young anymore.
"To be honest, although I am from and born in the Central Plains, when I was a teenager, I moved to Ulan Town with my parents. I've lived here for most of my life. ”
Chu Xintian listened and nodded with satisfaction: "Shopkeeper, you have seen many business customers being attacked by wolves just now. Do you know how many wolves the average person encounters?"
"Ah, guest officer, to tell you the truth, I've encountered wolves myself. That was a few years ago. I went to Jinzhou. Unfortunately, my return trip was postponed. It was dark and I was scared to death. There are more than ten wolves in a wolf pack, that's huge! Luckily, I went with a kung fu master. I shot a couple of wolves with him and drove them away. If you encounter a wolf, you must fight him to the death. That wolf is not a fool. If you can kill them, they will naturally leave. However, the average person does not see so many wild animals at the same time. How dare they fight them......"
Chu Xintian knew that this white shopkeeper was a chatterbox.
When she asked that question, he went on and on.
However, in the words of the white shopkeeper, Chu Xintian also learned that if ordinary wolves were not controlled, after killing a few wolves, the remaining wolves would not dare to fight against humans.
It's just that last night they encountered in the wasteland were not ordinary wolves.
