120. False alarm
(Thanks to the book friend Black Mountain Old Demon.) , Daojiu, xu8480's tip!)
Lin Xi looked at this map with some dissatisfaction.
So she didn't come to hurry, so why didn't some of the fun and delicious places in this main city be written?
Just wrote out the power structure of the major cities?
"This young lady, do you need a guide?" At this moment, a slightly immature voice suddenly sounded in front of her.
Lin Xi put down the map in her hand, and a boy about fourteen or fifteen years old was standing in front of her.
The boy was wearing a washed and somewhat whitish linen robe, and there were a few patches on his body, and he was looking at Lin Xi with some anticris.
Guide?
It turned out that there was still this profession, and she retracted her previous dissatisfaction.
"Yes. Lin Xi nodded, in this situation of not knowing the way, it is obviously best to have a tour guide.
The boy immediately laughed happily and introduced himself: "Miss, my name is Ding Hanmo, you can call me Xiaomo, as long as there are twenty copper coins a day, I can be your exclusive tour guide." ”
He was surprised to find that although this young lady was of average appearance, her eyes turned out to be strange double pupils, and she looked like a sense of tranquility and elegance, and she was very beautiful.
Halfway through speaking, he was stared directly by these eyes, bowed his head shyly, and rubbed his hands a little embarrassed between the words.
In fact, the market price is fifteen copper coins, but listening to his peers, some foreign travelers are very rich, especially those disciples of big families who go out to practice, so he shouted five copper coins.
Of course, they are also ready to be bargained.
Lin Xi thought about it and didn't directly agree.
Ding Hanmo couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart, could it be that the other party knew the general price, and felt that he was not honest, so he was not ready to look for him?
Actually...... fifteen copper coins are also fine.
Ding Hanmo was about to say this, when suddenly a Qianqian jade hand appeared in front of him, with a silver coin on it.
"My name is Lin Xi, and this is your reward for five days. Lin Xi thought about it for a while, not because she felt that the price was expensive, but because the money Tang Bo gave her was at least silver coins, and there were no copper coins at all, "Actually, what?"
"No, uh, nothing, uh, actually, you can give me money at the end. Ding Hanmo looked at the silver coin in front of him with some longing, and replied incoherently, Miss is so generous, and Miss's hands are so beautiful!
"Well, is that so?" Lin Xi nodded, and took the silver coin back in the boy's disappointed eyes, because she felt that maybe this was the rule here, so she still had to follow it.
In fact, it's okay to give it first!
Ding Hanmo suddenly had the urge to cry, why did he have so many mouths!
But then, he immediately cheered up, and the young lady took out a silver coin without blinking, it must be a rich master, and if you serve well, maybe there will be a reward!
"Then where are you going next?" Ding Hanmo perked up, and then asked politely.
Lin Xi looked up, it was almost noon, and asked, "Is there anything delicious?"
"Yes, our best is the most delicious, the most famous is the mutton soup in the west of the city, it's not far away, I'll take you there?" Ding Hanmo blurted out without thinking, obviously extremely skilled in business.
It's just that as soon as the words came out, the expression on his face suddenly became a little tangled.
"Go ahead. Lin Xi nodded, and noticed that the boy's face was different, so he asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Ding Hanmo hurriedly shook his head, and then walked in front.
"Aren't you going to go to school?" Lin Xi looked at Ding Hanmo in front of him and asked, at this time, it should be that all the academies in Yunchu have opened.
"My family is poor, I can't afford to pay the tuition, and my qualifications are not good, so I don't have the qualifications for public funds. The boy replied with some frustration.
In the Yunchu Empire, as long as you have good qualifications, then there is no charge to go to the academy, but if your qualifications are average, then you have to pay a certain tuition fee to enroll.
Lin Xi nodded and didn't say anything more.
It didn't take long for Ding Hanmo to take Lin Xi to a restaurant, Lin Xi looked at it, and then ordered two servings of mutton soup.
"Miss, I, I can't ask for it!" Ding Hanmo said anxiously, with a look of guilt on his face.
Lin Xi's eyes narrowed, and then said lightly: "It's already ordered." ”
The guilt on the boy's face was even stronger, and Lin Xi secretly fell into his heart.
Ding Hanmo saw Lin Xi sit down, but he didn't dare to sit down, and stood in place a little unnaturally.
Lin Xi quietly took an antidote pill in his hand and looked around.
This seems to be just a normal shopkeeper, and on the surface, there is nothing wrong at all, except that the boss just looked at Ding Hanmo with a somewhat abnormal look.
Two bowls of steaming mutton soup were served, and Lin Xi took advantage of the fact that no one around was paying attention, and tested it with a silver needle in his hand.
The silver needle is as smooth as new, and there is nothing out of the ordinary.
Lin Xi didn't dare to be careless, so he took a small sip, the taste was not too good, but there seemed to be no problem.
Ding Hanmo stood in place, and when he saw Lin Xi's expressionless face after taking a sip of soup, he seemed even more uneasy.
"You ......" sit down and drink.
Lin Xigang wanted to say this, wanting to test the boy again if he dared to drink this mutton soup.
"Miss, I'm sorry, I'm not supposed to have brought you here. Ding Hanmo stood in place, lowered his head and said.
Lin Xi's heart tightened, and he immediately ate the detoxification pill, and then vigilantly observed the surroundings, ready to take the sword at any time.
And the people around don't seem to notice the movement here, and they should still eat and drink, in a harmonious way.
"The mutton soup in this shop is actually not as good as Li Ji's, but the owner of this shop said that he would give a copper coin for every customer he brought in. Ding Hanmo glanced at the boss carefully, and said in a low voice after seeing that he didn't pay attention to this side.
Lin Xi's figure froze, and he suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.
She guessed for a long time that this was the case?
In the previous life, it was not so peaceful, there were a lot of black shops, poisoning the wine and food, sweating medicine, and then peeling off the passengers' plates to make human meat buns was also sparse and common.
But most of these black shops are in very remote places and will not appear in towns with a lot of people, Lin Xi originally thought that there would be no black shops in such a main city block, but after seeing the guilt on the boy's face, he left a thought.
But I didn't expect that in the end, it would be such a reason, which made her nervous in vain!
Fortunately, there are no side effects.
Lin Xi held his forehead a little helplessly, and then said to Ding Hanmo: "Sit down, let's talk after eating." ”
Ding Hanmo was about to cry anxiously, will this young lady beat herself up?
If you knew it earlier, you can't say it!
In fact, he didn't do much about this, but he had never met such a local tyrant, and he felt that if he made the other party unhappy, he would lose some reward money, so he kept entangled, knowing that Lin Xi drank the soup and his face seemed to be a little unhappy, he felt that he must have been discovered, so he took the initiative to admit it.
However, there is no expression on the face of the young lady now, what is the situation?
