(It's not easy to code words, ask for a full order, even if it's a recommendation vote and a monthly pass, the more the merrier, everyone's support is the creative motivation of green onions, and I implore you to support more.) ）

The tavern is full of arowanas and all kinds of people, making it a good place to hear news.

After exchanging glances, Li Xiao and Xiaoqiang walked into the tavern.

A mixture of many types of liquor came to the face.

On the bar, there are prepared rums, cocktails and more for guests to choose from.

Dozens of booths are scattered in all corners of the tavern irregularly, and the drinkers here either meet in pairs to talk and laugh, while others stay alone in the corner and sip their mouths, in a cold daze.

Two waitresses walk around the tavern with trays in their hands, ready to pour wine for guests.

Compared with the deserted street, this small tavern is more lively and has a rare life.

An obese middle-aged man stands behind the bar.

I saw that his face was full of fat and crowded with facial features, and he was wearing a pair of suspenders, even loose clothes could not hide his bulging belly, which could be said to be very conspicuous.

Because he read the memories of the middle-aged man, Li Xiao recognized this person at a glance as Palmer, the owner of this tavern.

Glancing at the scene in the tavern, Li Xiao and Xiaoqiang sat on the bar.

"What are you two going to do?"

"Two cocktails."

Li Xiao's fingers tapped lightly on the table of the bar, and he spoke in a unique local language accent, without any sense of disobedience.

The tavernkeeper, Palmer, quickly shoved two azure cocktails in front of them, a smile on his face: "This is my cocktail, you two try it." ”

Li Xiao picked up the wine glass and shook it, then sipped it gently.

When the cocktail slid down my mouth and into my throat, a sweet and slightly sour smell of wine spread in my mouth, and I was slightly drunk.

Tasting the cocktail, Li Xiao's eyes lit up slightly.

Although it is still in the Middle Ages in Europe, the wine produced here has a very mellow flavor and a unique flavor.

"You two look a little raw, huh?"

Palmer asked intentionally or not, flicking the two harnesses hanging in front of him.

"No, we just don't go out very often, so the boss shouldn't welcome us just because he looks at us?"

Li Xiaomian said nonsense without changing his color.

"No, I'm just asking casually, I don't mean to diswelcome you, after all, this is a critical period."

Palmer's fingers tapped lightly on the glass, making a crisp sound.

Critical period? What does this refer to.

A trace of doubt rose in Li Xiao's heart, but in order to prevent revealing flaws, he just secretly slandered himself and did not ask in front of Palmer.

"Okay, you drink slowly, call me at any time if you need anything."

After Palmer finished speaking, he went to the waitress in the tavern to greet the guests.

Now.

Xiao Qiang's cloudy and secluded eyes roamed back and forth in the tavern with great interest.

"What, what do you see?"

"I noticed a very interesting phenomenon."

"Tell me about it."

"The people inside and outside the tavern were in a completely different state, and the people on the street just now looked dull and detached, as if they were puppets with their souls drained, the walking dead. But on the other hand, the people in these taverns, they will shout loudly, laugh and scold, talk and confide, and also express their emotions, compared to them, they are more like a living person at this moment. ”

After hearing Xiaoqiang's words, Li Xiao also nodded undeniably: "That's right, they are not emotionless walking corpses, but I don't know why, in their daily life, they suppress their emotions and hide them in their hearts, and they don't even dare to express them, and only when they go to this tavern can they find some cathartic atmosphere and space." ”

But what is the reason for this?

Could it be that there is something that makes the villagers in these towns feel afraid and panicked, so they bury their words deep in their hearts and dare not express them?

But then again, they had just walked around the town, and they hadn't found anything strange about it, what was it that made them so secretive and silent.

Just as Li Xiao was silently thinking, the conversation in the south corner of the hotel suddenly rose a few points.

A man with a hooked nose took off the cap on his head and scolded indignantly: "Damn, life is not as good as before, although it was barren and miserable at that time, at least there was hope, and now we cower, living like stinky rats hiding in the gutter, inferior and despicable, relying on the snort of others to survive, without ......respect at all."

The hook-nosed man seemed to have been suppressed for too long, and at this moment, under the effect of alcohol paralysis, he vented his dissatisfaction and hatred.

As soon as this statement came out.

The cacophony of words in the tavern all came to an abrupt end, and everyone's bodies froze abruptly, silent, dead silent.

The hook-nosed man's words seemed to touch a taboo and attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone's gaze was projected as if attracted by a magnet, and the gaze was extremely complex, revealing emotions such as pity, admiration, fear, and incredulity.

Behind the bar, the fat on the boss Palmer's face also shook slightly, and then continued to wipe the bar table as if nothing happened.

"Oh, Simmons, don't you want to live anymore, you dare to talk about this in public, shut up!"

A shout from the partner next to him interrupted the other party's words, and quickly covered the other party's mouth to prevent him from continuing, while picking up the water glass next to him and throwing it at the other party.

After being splashed with water, the man named Simmons finally came to his senses, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly shuddered, hugged his head, and his eyes showed a strong color of remorse, as if he regretted that he should not have confided his heart just now, and said those rebellious words.

"Ahh

Simmons let out a strange scream with red eyes and rushed out of the tavern despite his friend's obstruction.

The dead silence in the tavern lasted for two or three minutes.

It wasn't until Simmons left that the drinkers' buttons were turned on like robots, and the stiff figures of those people began to move.

Li Xiao and Xiao Qiang exchanged glances, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

A mysterious town isolated from the world, villagers with strange behaviors, and topics that cannot be touched.

There must be some hidden secrets in this!
