Chapter 57: A Strange Town

Early the next morning, before the sky was clear, the bustling crowd crowded the streets, and everyone came to the market after breakfast.

Duan Feng realized that in ordinary towns, markets are opened on different days, and even in a big city like Phoenix, it is not possible to form such a large-scale market on the streets every day.

How could this nameless town have such a large-scale market every day? And although the scale here is not large, it is as prosperous as Phoenix, and besides, there is no trade with the outside world, so who do you sell so many things to?

At this time, Feng realized the strangeness of this nameless town, a depressing atmosphere hidden in the bustle, there was not even a single quarrel around, everything seemed so harmonious, which made people breathless.

Duan Feng took out the magic detection needle and looked at it, there was nothing abnormal, and he didn't feel any evil energy, suddenly a sound of striking iron came into Duan Feng's ears, the sound was very familiar, and the four of them walked through the crowd to a place called the Alchemy Workshop.

I saw a shirtless, sweaty middle-aged man desperately smashing a sword on the stone seat with a hammer.

Seeing everyone coming, the middle-aged man stopped what he was doing, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "What do you need to do for the guest officers?"

Duan Feng asked, "The boss doesn't remember us?"

The middle-aged man looked at the four of them carefully and said, "The guest officer laughed, I am a rough horseman, how can I recognize the guest officer, have we ever met?"

This sentence made the four of them very surprised, because yesterday the four of them had been here when they were walking in the market, and they had been talking with the boss for a long time, and it was only one night, and today the boss actually said that he didn't know himself.

Duan Feng looked at the boss strangely, he was still looking at everyone with a smile on his face, and the tongs in his hand were clenched tightly. Duan Feng noticed that the sword in the boss's hand seemed a little familiar, and asked, "What is the boss doing now?"

The middle-aged man pointed to the sword on the stone seat and said: "The sword customized by the second son outside the king will be needed tomorrow, I have to do it before tonight, if you have any needs, you have to wait until tomorrow." ”

With that, the boss put the sword back into the furnace and added a few pieces of coke.

As Duan Feng expected, the words of the middle-aged man were exactly the same as yesterday, and almost every action was exactly the same, as if he had replayed yesterday's events, Duan Feng stepped forward and looked at the sword, it was still yesterday's, and the words vaguely engraved on it indicated the owner of this sword.

Duan Feng felt a little excited in his heart, it seemed that he had found the special features of this town, but at the same time he had some worries, he didn't know what it meant to them.

The four of them hurried back to the inn, and at this time, the boss saw the four of them coming back and immediately came over to say hello.

Duan Feng asked, "Boss, do you remember us?"

The boss smiled and said, "What are you kidding, aren't you guests of our store, how could I not remember?"

Duan Feng was a little skeptical of his judgment at this time, so he said goodbye to the boss and went straight to the room.

Duan Feng's heart became more and more confused, and at this time, Xiao Er walked in with a plate of tea, and Duan Feng asked cautiously, "You broke the teapot again, why are you so careless." ”

The shopkeeper pouted and said, "Won't you just break a teapot?"

Duan Feng said: "You break the teapot every day, how can the boss not get angry?"

The shopkeeper said, "Who breaks the teapot every day?

Duan Feng asked again, "Do you remember me?"

The shopkeeper said, "Don't joke with me, guest officer, aren't you Lord Duan?" As he spoke, Xiao Er exited the room.

Duan Feng looked at Han Qing, and both of them felt a little strange, what happened to the people here?Why did the memories of the shopkeeper and the blacksmith appear? At this time, Duan Feng felt that the memory loss could better describe what they had seen and heard.

The two thought for a long time, but could not come up with an answer, so they decided to go to the market again the next day.

After dinner, everyone was about to rest, when suddenly they heard a great commotion in the streets.

"That didn't happen last night, which means that maybe the people here are really just memory lapses. Duan Feng hurriedly opened the window, and the bustling crowd on the street began to scatter and flee, and the shops on both sides of the street also closed one after another.

Everyone hurriedly went downstairs and was about to go out to take a look, but was stopped by the boss.

The boss said, "There are robbers looting in the town, and I am afraid it will be dangerous to go out now." ”

Duan Feng originally wanted to go out, but after thinking about it, everything here is too weird, and these robbers don't know what their identities are, and now when they go out, I'm afraid there will be unexpected situations, so it's better to stay in the house first and wait and see what happens.

Everyone leaned on the window and quietly watched the movement outside, only to see a group of black-clothed men riding horses, holding long knives in their hands, running back and forth on the street, and some of the horses were pulling the tied villagers behind them.

At this time, an old man in his sixties slammed open the door of the inn with a bang, knelt down in front of everyone, his face was covered with blood, and the old man cried and begged everyone to save his son, who was captured by robbers.

When the boss saw it, he helped the old man to a guest room in a hurry, comforted him a few words, and did not mention the old man's son, and then the boss returned to the door, closed the door, and continued to watch.

Duan Feng saw that this boss must have a secret to hide from him, and judging from just now, the door of the inn was obviously open, and those robbers ran directly through the door as if they didn't see everyone, instead of coming in. It stands to reason that robbers should pick the rich and noble, and the merchants living in the inn should be the focus, but the gang of robbers does not seem to notice the existence of the inn.

The robbers tossed for half a night, and Duan Feng saw that the robbers had captured at least twenty people, all of whom were young and strong young men.

Duan Feng originally wanted to save those young people, but in the end, he found out that he couldn't save those people at all, because he found that he couldn't hurt those masked people at all, so he wanted to be a transparent person, allowing the masked people to ride through his body without being able to hurt them in the slightest.

"The Magic Detector Needle still hasn't moved!"

Duan Feng was a little messy, "What kind of place is this?"

Early the next morning, Duan Feng and the others hurriedly ran downstairs, and happened to meet the old man yesterday, Duan Feng asked, "Uncle, are you okay?"

The old man glanced at Duan Feng suspiciously and said, "Young man, do I know you?"

Duan Feng said, "Didn't you say last night that your son was captured by robbers?"

The old man said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, young man, my son is staying at home, robber? I think you look like a robber!"

After the old man finished speaking, he turned around angrily and left.

Just when Duan Feng was puzzled, Xiao Er came over and greeted everyone, and at this time, Feng stopped Xiao Er and asked, "Do you have anything special here, such as a special person or a special place?"

Xiao Er replied: "It's nothing special, by the way, there is a special thing here today, the second son of Wang Yuanwai in this town is getting married today, you should go and see, Wang Yuanwai is the biggest rich man in the local area, and I heard that the pomp is very big." ”

When Duan Feng heard this, as expected, everything was back to normal, and in order to find out the truth, the four of them decided to go to the palace again to find out.

A few people walked through the bazaar and found that everything here was the same as yesterday, it was exactly the same, even the vendors were selling the same things. But Duan Feng faintly felt that something seemed to be different from yesterday, but he couldn't remember what was different for a while.

The four of them came to the gate of the palace, and the two handymen at the door were still receiving congratulatory gifts, and several people handed over the congratulatory gifts and came to the courtyard, and the scene in the courtyard was exactly the same as before.

At this time, the bride and groom were about to start worshipping heaven and earth, and everyone focused their eyes on the couple, at which time Liu Yuwei suddenly said to Duan Feng: "Brother Feng, look at the groom." ”

Duan Feng looked at the groom and said, "Is there something wrong?"

Liu Yuwei said: "You take a closer look." ”

Duan Feng looked at the groom carefully, and then suddenly realized that this groom was not the same person as the previous groom, but the clothes were the same.

Duan Feng looked at the bride carefully, judging from the figure and footwork, the bride should be the same person.

The four of them left the palace without waiting for the wedding to end, and along the way, Duan Feng and the others discovered that the difference in the whole market was the people, although people were engaged in the same kind of labor and wore the same clothes, but they could always find several different people occupying the same position and doing the same thing as yesterday.

When the four of them returned to the inn, they saw the boss reprimanding the shopkeeper, and the four of them had expected this to be the case, so they ignored the boss and came directly to the room and closed the door.

Duan Feng said: "It seems that there is indeed something strange here. ”

Han Qing said: "According to the observation of the past few days, the people here should be stuck in a time loop and doing the same thing every day. ”

Su Yanjun said: "Not really, the boss here seems to be different from others, he seems to be able to remember everything." And what about the people who were replaced on the streets, and the robbers, why were there only robbers last night?"

Duan Feng said: "What Miss Su said is, I'm afraid it's not just a time loop, there must be a big secret hidden in it."

"So what should we do now?" Liu Yuwei said.

"That boss must know something, and judging by last night's scene, there must be some secret to this inn. ”

"The robbers don't seem to see the inn, and they don't seem to notice us. ”

Duan Feng smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and said, "Things are getting more and more interesting." ”

Just when the four of them were discussing, there was a rapid knock on the door, and several people immediately stopped discussing, judging from the sound of knocking on the door, the person who came was not the shopkeeper, in this case, who would come to them?

Duan Feng opened the door vigilantly, his face was shocked, and he said, "It's you!"
