Although the carriage along the way is smooth and steady, after all, maintaining a posture can make people tired.

Hua Lan instructed Hua San to find a suitable tavern in the town, and everyone rested for a while and had lunch before continuing on their way.

When the carriage drove into the town, Hanasan noticed that the town was filled with a lifeless atmosphere.

The houses in the town look gorgeous, but the streets are cold and cold, and there are few people in sight.

It stands to reason that it is noon, and the street should be more lively, there are many inns and hotels on both sides, but there are few people coming and going.

Hua San drove the carriage to the door of a hotel and stopped, and the guys in the store saw the guests from other places, and came out to greet them with strong spirits, and spoke weakly: "How many guest officers?" ”

The hall of the hotel is quite large, and there is only one guest at the table.

The guest was probably a foreigner too, and a large package was placed on a chair next to him.

Hua San was very cautious, turned around and asked Hua Lan: "Young boy, is this hotel feasible?" ”

Hua Lan also noticed the strange atmosphere in the town, she quietly picked up the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, stepped forward and asked the guy: "Little brother, what happened in the town, why are the streets so deserted and so popular?" ”

"Oh, guest officer, are you eating or not eating? My family is a shopkeeper, and I only care about the guests and nothing else. ”

"What is this?"

Hua Lan was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the shopkeeper in the store.

The shopkeeper was listlessly stretching his neck to look this way, and as soon as his eyes came into contact with Hua Lan, he hurriedly moved his gaze away. It seems that the sneaky one seems to be a little weak-hearted.

"What's the weakness of the heart?"

Hua Lan was inexplicable, she quietly beckoned Jin Se and Chun Silkworm to get out of the car, and walked into the store with her feet up, "What special dishes do you have here?" ”

"There are no good dishes with special characteristics, there are only two dishes at the moment. Guests can eat if they want to, and if they don't, they won't have to eat. ”

The man's tone was lazy and listless.

"What are you talking about? Your family is not open, why are there only two kinds of dishes, what kind of hotel is this? ”

Chun Silkworm Gan glared, "Isn't there a customer in the store, why did this person order ten dishes?" ”

She walked to the table of the guests who were eating with their heads down, pointed to the dishes on the table, and asked the guy: "Didn't you say that there are only two kinds of dishes, aren't there more than a dozen?" ”

Chun Silkworm's words did not attract the man's rebuttal, on the contrary, the man put the towel in his hand on his shoulder, hugged his hands in front of his chest, rolled to her with white eyes: "I said this guest officer? Are you reasonable? Can you take a closer look and see if you can do it? Of the ten dishes of others, several of them stared at the ones they brought. Now that something big has happened in our town, who would dare to sell three more dishes? My family is a store, isn't it good to die? ”

It's normal to open a store and buy and sell, how can it be associated with the word "death"?

Hua Lan saw that something was wrong, and glanced at the spring silkworm and asked her not to speak.

A few people found a window position on the street and sat down, and then she asked the guy: "Little brother, what is the particularity of these two dishes you said?" What are they? ”

"What can be particular about these two dishes, what people send, we will do. However, there is nothing wrong with asking a guest to get together these plates. We will never let our customers go hungry. ”

The shopkeeper spoke with a yin and yang weirdness, he was not pleasing to the spring silkworm, and deliberately used his tone to anger her.

The master spoke, and the spring silkworm pursed her lips angrily and swallowed what she was about to say back to her stomach.

"Okay, we don't ask for much, just enough to eat."

The guy was pretentious, Hua Lan didn't need to speak, so he ordered two side dishes.

When the dishes were served, even Jin Se's face was less smiling.

A large plate of fried green bamboo shoots, a large plate of green leafy vegetables.

"Guests, please use it slowly, if it is not enough, add it, the shopkeeper has explained, and the amount will not be increased."

The fried green bamboo shoots are good, although there is no oily meat, it is still a little oily. Leafy greens are different. The whole thing is fished out of clear water, and even the taste is faint.

In fact, these two dishes, if they are in ordinary people's homes, are really good. But Huafu is different, Hualan is not bad for money, and the daily meals are made in different ways, how can such a meal open its mouth?

What's more, Hua Lan couldn't wronged Miss Jinse.

"Okay, that's all, more little brothers."

Hua Lan lowered her face, took out a piece of silver, quietly recruited it from the guy, secretly stuffed the silver into his hand, approached and asked in a low voice: "There are really no other dishes, is there a tavern outside?" ”

The guy received such a big benefit, cried on his face, and shook his head in embarrassment: "Son, just be wronged, right?" Our hotel is good. This green bamboo shoot is the face of the owner, I don't believe you go out to inquire, the whole town eats, there is only one kind of green vegetables, and nothing else. ”

And such a thing?

Hua Lan froze, the town was indeed very weird, she smiled at the guy, and the guy shrugged his shoulders and left helplessly.

She whispered to Hua San, "You go to the town and inquire about what's going on, and see if you can still buy meat." ”

"Yes, young man!"

Hua San ate a few meals and got up and walked out of the hotel.

"I'm surprised to inquire."

The spring silkworm rolled her eyes curiously, got up and chased out.

At the dinner table, Jin Se did not frown at the food on the table, her smile was always warm and soft, holding chopsticks little by little and eating the vegetables slowly one bite at a time, nodding and praising while eating: "The taste of this dish is very good." ”

What does it taste good?

Hua Lan lost her appetite after a few bites, and seeing that she ate with relish, she had to eat slowly.

After a while, Hua San didn't come back yet, but the spring silkworm came back first.

"Master, something really strange is going on in town. This hotel is really good. Almost all inns and hotels serve only this one type of green, and nothing else. The whole town seems to have some kind of strange disease, can't eat meat, can't eat meat, can't go out. ”

The whole town is sick?

Hua Lan has always had a keen sense of smell, and there is no sign of any plague or other disease spreading in the town.

What kind of strange disease could it be?

Hua Lan couldn't guess, ate a few more bites of food, and saw that Jin Se finally put down the chopsticks, so she settled the bill with the store and walked out of the hotel.

As soon as I left the store, I saw Hua San coming from afar.

The three of them took a few steps and caught up with Hua San.

Hua San frowned, and only said, "Young boy, let's leave the town as soon as possible." ”

A strange illness has occurred in the town, and Hua Lan has a lot of worries and interests in her heart. Where she is willing to go, she must find out the ins and outs of the cause before leaving.

Hua Lan didn't move her feet, but looked left and right for a while.

It was also a coincidence that at this moment, the courtyard door in a courtyard sounded heavily, and an elderly woman walked out of it.

The old woman wore a washed and somewhat faded green lotus purple dress, and a yellowish turban was wrapped around her head, and she looked haggard and sick.

"Old man, can you ask Hua to take a pulse for you, your complexion is not good, there must be something uncomfortable, right?"

There were few people on the street, and the four of them looked like outsiders.

The old woman waved her hand weakly, "You are all strangers, so don't worry about the idle affairs in the town." It's not peaceful in town, so you better leave early. ”

The old woman said this, and a weak man leaned over to a house in the center of the town.

"Young boy, let's get out of here I asked a few families, and they all answered like this."

Hua San was very worried, although he didn't know so he was suspicious, there was no other way at the moment: "The town is really weird, and the son has to hurry." If we check it again, I'm afraid that we will not be able to leave if the trip is delayed. ”
