Chapter 62: The Grain Store Shopkeeper

"Sister-in-law!" Poplar shouted in surprise.

"Ah, don't kill me, don't kill me!" The madwoman shouted, her dirty hands swinging in the air.

It turned out that this crazy woman was Zhao He's wife, but I don't know if it was because Zhao He's death had a great blow to her, and she still couldn't get the 10,000 silver ticket bounty, so she was crazy, in short, she had become a madman at this time.

As if alarmed by the movement here, an old man walked out of the grain and rice shop on the side, and the old man was also stunned when he saw the poplar, and then asked him: "Is the next life from another place?" ”

Poplar nodded.

After seeing the old man look left and right, he hurriedly beckoned to him and said, "Don't stand outside the door, come in." ”

Bai Yang knew what the other party was afraid of, but he didn't expect that the other party would invite him into the store, which made him feel that there are still a lot of good people in this world.

He didn't postpone it, and after glancing at Mrs. Zhao He, who was shouting, he followed the old man into the store.

The old man walked into the backyard with Poplar, and saw that in addition to an old woman, there were also a pair of young children in the backyard.

His family was very surprised to see that he had suddenly brought in a strange man, and even the old woman had a look of complaint in her eyes.

"Housheng, I don't know what you're here for, but it's not safe in the town right now, so you'd better stay here and don't run around outside for the time being." The old man said.

Bai Yang was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Uncle, thank you for your kindness, but I can't stay here all the time, in fact, I'm here to find someone." ”

The old man frowned and glanced at Bai Yang, obviously disgusted by Bai Yang's disobedience, but he still persuaded him: "Hou Sheng, listen to the old man's persuasion, if you want to find someone, I can help you find it, but now it's better not to wander around the street in broad daylight, otherwise it will be too late for you to regret it." ”

"Old man, what are you doing with the afterlife, our eldest son was arrested, why don't you think about how to save him?" The old woman came over and said dissatisfiedly.

"Old woman, what do you know, I will find a way to save the big cow, but I can't watch other people's descendants being arrested." The old man said indignantly.

Bai Yang didn't expect this old man's character to be so good, his eldest son was arrested, and he would care so much about his own affairs, which made him a little moved, and couldn't help asking: "Uncle, has your son also been arrested?" ”

The old man sighed and nodded and said, "Yes, I have been arrested for more than three days, and I don't know how much this kid has suffered." ”

"Do you know if he's in Donggukou or Xigukou in Qingshan Town now?" Poplar asked.

"Housheng, what are you asking for?" The old man asked, puzzled.

Bai Yang thought for a while and said, "My friend has also been arrested, if possible, I plan to rescue your son together." ”

Hearing Poplar say this, the old man and his wife couldn't help but light up their eyes, and even their pair of little children came over with excitement.

"Houshan, oh, Shaoxia, what you said is true?" The old man asked excitedly.

"I can't guarantee that I'll get someone out, but I'll try as much as I can, but you'll have to tell me where your son is and what he looks like." Poplar said.

The old man nodded, he knew that Poplar should not lie to him, after all, there was no need for this, and whether Poplar could save people or not, he had to gamble, otherwise he was worried that his son would die in Qingshan Town.

"Shaoxia, no, this is too dangerous, I can't let you go into danger." The old man thought about it and quickly shook his head and said.

"Don't worry, boss, I will do what I can, and my friend has also been arrested, I will definitely find a way to rescue him, saving one is saving, and saving two is also saving, there is not much difference for me." Poplar said.

He said it simply, but if you really want to save people, the difficulty of one person is naturally different from two people.

But the old man did not know this, and he was full of thought that Poplar was very reasonable, so he described his son's location, name, and general appearance to Poplar.

As for why the old man knew his son's location, it was naturally because he was old, and those Immortal Sect disciples were too lazy to care about him, he could go to Qingshan Town to visit his family, but he could only watch from a distance, and he didn't even have a chance to speak, which was why he was so worried about his son.

Although the old man said that his son's appearance was very abstract, it was enough for Bai Yang, at least he didn't need to blindly look for it, and besides, he had the other party's younger son as a reference, so that he could roughly imagine the appearance of the other party's eldest son.

It was soon noon, and although Poplar was not hungry, the old man and his family warmly invited him to eat together, and it was really difficult to resist it, so he could only sit down and eat together.

Although the old man owned a grain and rice store, the food was not abundant, almost all of them were vegetables, and meat was rarely seen.

"Shaoxia, the hospitality is not good, please understand." The old man and his family were a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, actually, I just had breakfast, and I'm not very hungry right now." Bai Yang said with a smile, what he said was not a lie, although it was not breakfast, but it was Chinese food, and it was less than two hours after eating Chinese food, he was naturally not hungry.

But the old man thought that Poplar was a prevarication, but he really couldn't get good wine and food, so he could only be silent.

"By the way, old man, what's going on with the inn next door?" Poplar couldn't help but ask curiously, in fact, he had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but he couldn't find a chance.

"Isn't the young man planning to find a place to spend the night?" The old man asked rhetorically.

Bai Yang was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded and said, "Yes, I wanted to find an inn to spend the night, but I don't know why this Xiaoyu Inn didn't open, could it be that this inn only opened at night?" ”

But seeing the old man put down his rice bowl and said with a sigh: "It's not, the young man doesn't know anything, ten days ago, the townspeople of our town rushed into this inn with a group of village soldiers and killed the shopkeeper of this inn." ”

Bai Yang couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and suddenly had a very bad premonition, and hurriedly asked anxiously, "Why did this villager kill the shopkeeper of this inn?" ”

The old man suddenly showed a sneering look on his face, and said: "It's ridiculous, the shopkeeper's wife doesn't know if she hooked up with the villagers, and she actually took the villagers to kill her husband, which is really a miracle in the world." ”

Bai Yang couldn't help but be stunned, and asked in astonishment: "Ah, old man, do you mean that the shopkeeper's wife took the townsman to kill the innkeeper?" ”

The old man nodded and confirmed: "I don't know the specific reason, anyway, everyone in the town said so, but the shopkeeper's wife is three or five thick, and the old man is also a little puzzled why this money townsman is so good." ”

What Bai Yang cares about is not whether Qian Xianghou really hooked up with Zhao He's wife, but if Zhao He died, where did Xiaoyu go?

"Uncle, did that Qian Xianghou take anyone from the inn at that time?" Poplar asked with a frown.

The old man shook his head and said, "Is this the case, at that time, a woman came out of the inn and turned the person who killed Qian Xianghou on his back, and Qian Xianghou also fled in disgrace. ”

"Woman?" Xiaoyu's figure suddenly appeared in Bai Yang's mind, and he hurriedly asked, "Uncle, is that woman wearing a pink dress, and is she holding a golden longbow in her hand, and her appearance is very beautiful?" ”

The old man couldn't help but be stunned, and asked in surprise: "Hey, young man, how do you know?" ”

Bai Yang did not answer the old man's question, but asked anxiously: "Old man, I don't know where the woman went?" ”

He didn't expect that Xiaoyu was really in this inn at that time, but for some reason such a change would happen, which made him feel that God would make people.

"Could it be that the woman is the friend you are looking for?" The old man asked rhetorically.

Poplar nodded with a wry smile.

"Shaoxia, don't worry, the woman has already left Quhe Town in a carriage with her female companion in her arms." When the old man saw the expression on his face, he thought he was worried about the safety of his companion, so he hurriedly comforted him.

Hearing the old man's words, Bai Yang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he thought about it and asked, "Old man, I don't know what direction my friend is going?" ”

The old man thought for a while and said: "The woman was leaving west in a carriage, and ten kilometers west is Jiangzhou City, so I think I should go to Jiangzhou City." ”

Although Bai Yang wanted to rush to Jiangzhou City immediately to find Xiaoyu, he finally suppressed this thought temporarily.

Since he promised his father-in-law to rescue the other party's eldest son, he naturally couldn't break his promise, not to mention that the villager led someone to kill Zhao He, and he couldn't help but avenge this revenge.

As for Zhao He's wife, he doesn't plan to care about this kind of woman, whether the other party hooked up with that Qian Xianghou or not, at least the accident in the inn was caused by the other party, and he didn't go to the other party to settle the account.

All afternoon, the poplars were all in the backyard of the rice grain store, of course, he didn't do nothing, at least he found the specific location of the Qian Xianghou and the old man's son Wang Daniu through the starry sky map, and even his consciousness went to Jiangbei City to walk around, but Jiangbei City was too big, and he couldn't find the slightest trace of light rain in an afternoon.

"Xiaoyu has the 10,000 taels of silver tickets I gave him, so I think there shouldn't be an accident in a short time." Poplar soothed himself.

As night fell, Poplar bid farewell to the shopkeeper of the grain store and hurried out of the village.

After arriving at the entrance of the village, he immediately hid in the woods, and then returned to the courtyard of the inn next to the grain store with a thought.

Although the corpse in the backyard of the inn had long since been pulled away, the ground was still blood-red and filled with a smell of corruption.

It is difficult for Baiyang to imagine what kind of situation Xiaoyu faced at that time, but it stands to reason that Xiaoyu's character is unlikely to kill people indiscriminately, maybe those township soldiers forced her to a dead end! He couldn't help but secretly guess.

"By the way, at noon, the shopkeeper of the grain store said that Xiaoyu was holding a female companion and leaving, obviously that female companion is very likely to be Zhao Cuier, but is Zhao Cuier injured, why do you need Xiaoyu to leave with her?" Poplar couldn't help but frown and muttered.

Although his feelings for Zhao Cuier were not as strong as Xiaoyu's, he was deeply impressed by this little girl's cleverness, and no matter what, he naturally didn't want anything to happen to the other party.

But now it is pointless for him to think about it here, he can only hope that the two little girls Jiren have their own natural appearance, so that he can find them as soon as possible.

He quietly surveyed everything in the inn, then casually found a room and walked in.

The room was equipped with beds and quilts, but a thin layer of dust was left on both the table and the floor.

Poplar was not too dirty, so he found a dry cloth in the room, wiped the chair slightly, and then sat down.
