Chapter 2417: First Acquaintance with Ji Xiaoxiao (11)
"Okay, let's find out." Ji Xiaoxiao nodded, her eyes searching the ranks of revenants coming and going.
The city covers a vast area, with countless streets, crisscrossing vertically and horizontally like fishing nets. The souls of the dead are dense, like a carp crossing the river, and such an aimless search is really tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
After walking more than a dozen streets, Ding Ermiao did not see a single suspected target.
"Xiaoxiao, it's not a way to look for it like this. Why don't we find some shops and ask? Ding Ermiao said.
"Okay, find a restaurant, let's inquire while eating." Ji Xiaoxiao said excitedly.
In fact, Ji Xiaoxiao is not too careful about finding her soul. What she cares about is to visit the capital city with Ding Ermiao, and then eat and drink, and be at ease. Of course, this is also caused by Ji Xiaoxiao's unsound soul, which cannot be measured with common sense.
"Well, as soon as you say it, I'm hungry too." Ding Ermiao looked around and pointed ahead: "There is a Nai He Tian Restaurant in front, it looks good, let's go, go over and taste it." ”
Ji Xiaoxiao was overjoyed, and pulled Ding Ermiao away.
The two walked to the door, and the bartender of the restaurant had already greeted him, and sang: "Two guest officers, please!" ”
Ji Xiaoxiao looked at the bartender's dress, he was still a ghost of the Qing Dynasty, wearing a long shirt and a single braid on the back of his head.
Entering the restaurant, Ding Ermiao and Ji Xiaoxiao went straight to the second floor and found a position near the window to sit down, so that they could see the souls of the dead coming and going on the street downstairs.
"Guest, what do you want to eat and drink?" The bartender asked, hunching over.
"Don't ask, there are good food and drinks, just go on!" Ji Xiaoxiao waved her hand and said.
Miss Fu's style is different. Ji Xiaoxiao's concept of money is very vague.
The bartender blinked and said, "The wine and food in our restaurant are not cheap." It seems that there are very few wandering spirits who can afford to eat the food in our restaurant......"
"What are you talking about, do you think I don't have any money?" Ding Ermiao smiled, dropped a gold ingot, and said, "Blind your dog's eyes!" ”
"Ouch, it turned out to be a rich son, disrespectful and disrespectful!" The bartender picked up the gold ingots and turned to prepare the meal.
After a while, the wine and food were served, and all kinds of things were used, no different from the world.
Ding Ermiao pulled the bartender and asked, "Hey, in this Xudu City, do you help others find people?" This friend of mine is lost in his soul, so ......"
"It's not a friend, it's your wife, okay?" Ji Xiaoxiao protested, glared and said.
"Yes, yes, it's my wife's soul that is gone, and I came to the capital city to look for it. Bartender, is there any such business in the city to help me find someone? Ding Ermiao asked.
The bartender grinned, rubbed his temples, and said, "There seems to be this kind of shop in the city, which specializes in helping people find relatives." But I can't remember where the store is. The two guest officers drank first, and waited for me to think about it......"
"You kid is asking for money, aren't you?" Ding Ermiao threw out a small gold bar and said, "Say it!" ”
"Ouch, thank you, uncle!" The bartender put away the gold bar and said:
"I remembered that just around the corner of this street, there was a small hotel. The innkeeper is called Qi Laosi, and they all call him Qi Siye, who specializes in helping people find relatives! In other places, there are also two, but they are not as good as Qi Siye. The person you are looking for, if Fourth Master Qi can't find it, then there is no hope. ”
"Thank you for informing!" Ding Ermiao was overjoyed and said to Ji Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao hurry up and eat, after eating, let's go find Qi Laosi!" ”
Ghosts command ghosts, everyone runs errands, Ding Ermiao only needs to spend money, it's fine. In this way, it is many times easier than looking everywhere for yourself.
Ji Xiaoxiao nodded and sped up her meal.
In fact, ghosts are not hungry, eating is just a little thought at work, generally speaking, eating two bites is enjoyable, and it is fine.
Walking down the restaurant, Ding Ermiao took Ji Xiaoxiao to the west, until he came to Qi Laosi's inn.
There is a word on the door of the inn, Qijia Inn.
Ding Ermiao walked into the house and asked the guy directly: "Boss Qi, Fourth Master Qi, is he not there?" I want to see him, I have business to talk to him. ”
The guy hurried to find the boss, and after a while, a capable middle-aged man came out of the back hall.
"Boss Qi, I want to ask you for help to find my wife's soul......" Ding Ermiao went straight to the point and said his purpose.
Qi Laosi nodded and asked, "What is the specific situation, let's talk about it first." ”
Ding Ermiao sat down and told Ji Xiaoxiao about it as it was.
Qi Laosi frowned and said, "Don't hide it, I'm usually looking for the soul of the soul here, that is, the complete soul." This broken soul is hard to find! ”
"I can find the complete soul, go to the judges and ask around, and I will know where it is. What I'm looking for is this broken soul. Ding Ermiao said.
"Okay, I'll try to find it. However, business has been very busy lately, and there are not enough people...... So, if you're in a hurry, you'll have to add some money. Qi Laosi said.
"How much, let's talk." Ding Ermiao said.
"Three souls and seven spirits, ten in total. You get three back, and there are seven left. So be it, for every one I find, a hundred taels of gold. Qi Laosi said.
"Okay, deal." Ding Ermiao said.
Qi Laosi grinned and said, "Yes, but you have to pay one hundred taels of gold as a deposit first." ”
Ding Ermiao took out all the things in his pocket, and it was only thirty or forty taels. Although it has been burning on it, it can't make up so much in a short period of time.
"Give you these first, and then slowly make up for them. If that's not enough, I'll give it to you when I get back. Ding Ermiao said.
"Can you go back to the Sunny Realm? Who are you? Qi Laosi asked in surprise.
"Maoshan disciple, Ding Ermiao. Don't worry, I won't be repaying you. A hundred taels of gold in the underworld, on top of it is a pile of paper, worthless. Ding Ermiao pinched the mantra and offered the edict on his forehead.
Qi Laosi nodded and smiled, and said, "It turned out to be Master Maoshan, okay, Daoist Ding, you can stay first and wait for my news." But let me be clear, I'm only providing information, and I'm not going to bring the soul with me. I've found the target, I'll let you know, you go and bring someone yourself. ”
"Okay, after you find the target, you have to keep an eye on it, and then send me a letter, don't let the target go away again." Ding Ermiao was relieved, took Ji Xiaoxiao, and stayed at the Qi Family Inn.
The suspicion in the inn is very good, and the guests are full. Because the room was not arranged, Ding Ermiao and Ji Xiaoxiao had to live in one room.
Ji Xiaoxiao really regarded Ding Ermiao as her husband, snuggled up to Ding Ermiao's side, and never left.
In the middle of the night that day, Qi Laosi came to knock on the door and said anxiously: "Ding Daochang, get up quickly, there is news!" ”
