After telling Dani, Pei Baoer packed up a simple little burden and was about to go out, but she heard two knocks.

There was a sharp knock on the wooden door of the courtyard.

Both of them moved their ears, and their eyes bloomed with incredible surprise.

Pei Baoer ran to the door in three steps and two steps, wanting to pull the door bolt, but found that her hands were shaking.

She wrestled with the bolt as she cried out anxiously, "Who is it?" Is it Ah Yun and Yan'er? ”

Dani was greatly relieved, and hurriedly ran over and helped Pei Baoer open the door.

Pei Bao'er also said: "Why don't you speak......"

As soon as the door opened, the two were stunned.

Standing outside the door was not a big and a small one they wanted to see, but two women with faces. It seems that he is older than Pei Baoer, his hair is combed in a smooth bun, and he is dressed more decently, but he is not one of the neighbors who lives nearby in their impression.

Pei Bao'er glanced at the two uninvited guests, looked around again, and then frowned in disappointment: "You are...... Looking for someone? ”

The two women glanced at each other, and the one in green clothes glanced at the courtyard and smiled: "We are here to find Pei Niangzi, but she lives here?" Seeing Pei Bao'er nodding with a stiff face, the woman asked again: "I don't know if she is at home, can you please come out and talk about it?" Or, can we get into ......"

Pei Baoer was too lazy to listen to nonsense, and said directly: "I am, what are you looking for me?" ”

The woman in green clothes couldn't help but be speechless when she heard this, and looked at her carefully with a shocked face before stammering: "But, yesterday, you, you are obviously not like this......"

Pei Bao'er raised her eyebrows, it seemed that she was someone who had seen her somewhere yesterday.

Obviously, her disguise was successful, at least the woman didn't recognize her. It's a pity that she is not in the mood to be polite to these two uninvited guests at this time.

She said impatiently: "It's me, what the hell is going on?" I'm in a hurry to get out, if things aren't in a hurry, I'll talk about it when I come back! So saying, she stepped over the threshold, stood beside the two women, and motioned for Dani to come out with her, and then fastened the door.

The woman in Tsing Yi was a little stunned by Pei Bao'er's face-changing skills, and only stiffly stretched out her hand to stop it, but she didn't know what to say.

When the woman in the silk clothes on the side saw this kind of behavior, her face showed a little displeasure. She hadn't seen Pei Bao'er before, and now she didn't feel anything when she saw the real person, she just felt that this little lady was born strangely black, like a young offspring who was exposed to the wind and sun all day long.

She pursed her lips, pointed to the woman in Tsing Yi again, and said to Pei Bao'er very straightforwardly: "Yesterday, she bought a few bottles of that perfume from you in the market, as well as the jade face cream, presumably the little lady still has a little impression." ”

Pei Bao'er sighed, and then remembered yesterday's big customer. She patiently looked at each other carefully, and saw that both of them had some faint smiles on their faces, not like they came to her to trouble her when they encountered some problems. So, could it be that if you get a treasure, you want to find her to order another batch?

If it was usual, Pei Baoer would definitely welcome such repeat customers. But the problem is that she is unsettled at this moment, and her mind is full of terrifying scenes where Liu Yun and the others may be killed by Haikou, where is there any mind to do business! She still has to hurry up to find someone, and if it's late, I'm afraid that something will go wrong!

So, her tone had a hint of imperceptible irritability: "So what? ”

The woman in the silk clothes also noticed Pei Bao'er's impatience and impatience, so she said quickly: "That's the case, we are from the Li family in the east of the city, and we are the Li family who opened the incense shop, you should have heard of it." Yesterday, A-Xing brought back those bottles of perfume, our two girls were very happy to see it, and the head of the family also thought that the things you made were very interesting, and I wanted to invite you to come over the house to talk about it, I don't know ......"

Pei Bao'er listened expressionlessly, and was a little suspicious when she heard the word incense shop at first, but she slowly felt some smell later.

She tugged at the corners of her mouth and asked coldly, "Your family master wants to buy the recipe in my hand?" ”

The woman's face stiffened, and the woman in Tsing Yi hurriedly said: "The second girl's order is just to invite the little lady to sit in the house, and we don't know the rest." Isn't it? As he spoke, he yanked the woman next to him. The latter snorted sullenly and said nothing.

But Pei Baoer is not blind, the interaction between the two falls in her eyes, if she can't see something, she will be a fool.

"Please go back, my recipe will not be sold, unless your head of the family can afford the price of a thousand gold."

She casually shouted a high price, then ordered the eviction with a stinky face, and closed the door with a bang. Regardless of the two of them, they just pulled Dani and walked away.

When they had gone far, they could vaguely hear the two women arguing after a moment of silence, accusing each other of doing something bad, and after a while they left in the other direction with a humming and chirping.

It's really a wave of unevenness, wave after wave!

Liu Yun and the two have not yet been found, and the Li family incense shop has the idea of her perfume recipe again, and eighty percent is the second insatiable Lin family!

On the way to the city gate, Pei Baoer's eyebrows, which were as light as distant mountains, were almost twisted into twist by her.

Dani also saw the pedestrians walking in a hurry, and some people gathered in groups of three or five, with a common worry on their faces, and their mouths seemed to be talking about how Haikou was. She is young and has no intuitive feeling of the word Haikou, but she is not too afraid, but Pei Baoer's nervousness makes her particularly worried.

She timidly asked, "What the hell does this Haikou do?" Why does it seem like everyone knows? ”

Pei Bao'er's face turned even paler, she glanced at her quietly, and reluctantly frightened the little girl with the explanation that "Haikou is similar to a bandit, they are all bad people who burn and loot", and her eyes suddenly lit up.

She saw a familiar person, the other party's surname was Xiao, one of the second-tier dealers who had done several businesses when she first came to Donglincheng, and he had been buying from fishermen in the villages near the sea all year round, and then shipping them to this Donglincheng and other inland towns to sell, and then transfer the price difference.

Pei Bao'er didn't care about etiquette or anything, and rushed directly to Boss Xiao to ask him if the situation in Wuli Town was true, but he learned from his mouth that the matter of Haikou was true.

"Ouch, Pei Niangzi, I fortunately didn't go over there in the past two days, and I turned back halfway through today, but when I heard the news, I was so scared. What the? This morning? No, no, the pirates came last night, burned down a village, and injured many people in the town, all saying that those thieves were bold, and some of them wandered around and didn't go anywhere. In my opinion, this business has been difficult to do lately~"

Pei Bao'er's face turned pale, and she reluctantly thanked her before leaving.

Boss Xiao behind her was still talking to others about this with her eyebrows fluttering, and it was very harsh in her ears, so she could only walk away in a hurry and not listen.

Before separating from Dani, Pei Baoer stuffed a large handful of copper plates into her and told her carefully: "If you are hungry and thirsty, eat at the food stall next to you, don't save so much money." When the gates are closed, you will come back, and if you are the only one in the house, the doors will be tightened. If someone knocks on the door, they have to ask before they open the door, you know? ”

Then, she touched Dani's head again, and then she left the city with mixed feelings.

Wuli Town is a small town, about five miles away from the east of the city, hence the name. This town is also the nearest market town in the southeast direction of the east and the city, after this town, a few miles away, there is a small fishing village called Cai Village, which is next to the coastline, but it is far away from the small port where the big merchants smuggled sea trade, the economy here is not very developed, and the purchase price of many raw materials is relatively cheaper.

Liu Yun took the inkstone to Cai Village, and before going, Pei Baoer also joked that if there was a fresh big yellow croaker to sell, he could bring a few back, and it would only take half a day for them to go back and forth.

However, at this time, the news of the invasion of the pirates spread all over the eastern city, and people everywhere were panicked. Not to mention mule carts and donkey carts, even if they are willing to spend money, the carts and horses in the city are not willing to take this business.

"What a joke! Do you know how much a carriage costs? The most expensive one costs fifty or sixty taels, plus horses, and it will cost one hundred taels. It's only a few taels of silver to rent a trip, and now Haikou is so rampant, if you fold this car in, can you afford it? ”

After being driven out by the owner of the carriage and horse dealership with rolling eyes, Pei Baoer had no choice but to choose to walk out of the city in resignation.

To be reasonable, it's not impossible to buy a little donkey to walk, but Pei Bao'er thought about it carefully, if she really ran into a wandering pikou, she could still find a place to hide in a bush or something like herself, but if there was a donkey next to it, it would probably be more troublesome to scream when it was frightened, and it would expose its whereabouts, so it was better to just walk over like this, anyway, it would only take two hours at most to walk ten miles faster.

Pei Bao'er clutched the small burden on her shoulders and walked out of the city with trepidation.

This road is an official road that was only built in the past two years, and it is very smooth, and most of the traders who usually travel to and from Donglincheng and other surrounding towns enter through this road, and the carts and horses carry goods endlessly. Nowadays, there are some doors, and there are very few pedestrians on the road, and there are probably more hares jumping in the grass on both sides of the official road.

After walking for a while, Pei Bao'er saw a carriage coming from a distance, and there seemed to be a white mark painted on the roof of the carriage, which she had seen in the market before, and it was about the emblem of a famous family in the city. Generally speaking, only those families that have been inherited for more than one or two hundred years and have not decayed have the heart to toss this kind of thing.

Since it is someone else's private carriage, it is naturally impossible for Liu Yun and the others to be on it. Pei Bao'er was a little disappointed, but she still wanted to get some news from the coachman or the person in the carriage.

Maybe they're coming from the direction of Cai Village, and they'll probably know a little bit about the recent situation, for example, whether the Haikou has retreated, what the specific casualties are, and, most importantly, whether they've seen a big and a small pair.

She paused to get out of the way, and beckoned to the groom as the carriage drew nearer, even fearing that he would not notice her, and shouted "Please stay."

The coachman, however, only glanced at her, and whipped the whip in his hand even harder.

Driven by him, the horse struggled to speed up its pace, and its heavy four hooves lifted up a man-high amount of dust, almost choking the unsuspecting Pei Baoer half to death.

"I'll go! It's so indifferent to ask the way, what's the matter with this TM! ”

Pei Bao'er touched her face angrily, rubbed her fingers against the fine dust, and after thinking about it, she simply didn't wipe it, just like that, it was more like a small trader who played the dust.

She didn't get angry at will, after all, others were not obliged to stop and help her, maybe the family was in a hurry? Or, Pei Baoer doesn't look very safe now, and the car is probably full of female dependents, so the driver doesn't dare to stop? Or, even more terrifyingly, perhaps the man of the carriage had just escaped from the pirates.

Thinking of the last possibility, Pei Baoer's heart was even higher.

She didn't dare to take the main road anymore, and after looking left and right, she simply walked to the wasteland on the side, and used the weeds and bushes that were more than half a person tall to cover her whereabouts.

It was the first time Pei Baoer encountered such a thrilling thing, in the peaceful era in which she originally lived, the probability of being stolen and robbed when she went out was comparable to winning the lottery, where was there any need to worry about what kind of bandits, Haikou.

Just dodging all the way, she took a few detours, but she still approached Wuli Town half an hour later.

When she saw some low houses in front of her from a distance, Pei Baoer breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, she didn't see the people fleeing in a hurry, and she didn't hear the cries or smashing, so she seemed quite calm? She thought, maybe the pirates have retreated, at least this is not a front-line battlefield.

Pei Bao'er stared ahead, couldn't help but speed up her pace, and finally ran up in small steps, ready to enter the town to find someone to inquire. No, she had just taken a dozen steps to run her legs when she heard the sound of something breaking through the air, and there seemed to be a faint human voice.

The cold hairs on her back stood on end, and she actually remembered the scene when she and Qi Heng encountered the killer of the man in black years ago.

Pei Baoer's heart is not good, and eighty percent of them have touched a pirate.

She could vaguely tell that the wind was coming from behind the left, and Pei Bao'er didn't know what it was, it could be Haikou's knife, or it could be a stone that she picked up casually, so she had to obey the instinct of her body, and bent down to roll on the ground next to her to avoid the attack of the thing.

As a result, her whole body curled up and rolled down to the mud, and when she felt the tight restraint on her left foot and neck, she suddenly realized that it was a rope!
