Xia Sheng and his party had good luck.

Or, at least for now, the prince's hand has not yet reached Blackwater.

No one conducted a strict investigation at the city gate, and no one searched around the city with Xia Sheng's portrait.

The carriage drove smoothly into Blackwater without any accidents and without attracting anyone's attention.

But Ning Zheng discovered a very strange thing.

"It stands to reason that Blackwater Town is just a very ordinary town, neither a trade center nor a border port, there are no scarce mineral resources here, and there has never been a certain spirit beast, why are there so many foreign populations?"

Qin Yan opened the curtains with one hand, looked at the passers-by on the road, and said suspiciously, "How do you know that they are not locals?"

Ning Zheng shook his head: "The reason why Heishui Town is called Heishui Town is because there is a magnificent Heishui River next to the town, which is the so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft water, so almost all the residents in this Heishui Town rely on fishing all year round for a living. But look at these people, where do they look like fishermen?"

Qin Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, and was about to continue to ask something, but saw Xia Sheng wave his hand.

"No matter what these people are here for, it has nothing to do with us, don't make more trouble, we will leave early tomorrow morning. ”

As he was talking, the young man in charge of driving the car ran back from a distance and said to Xia Sheng: "Young Master Xia, there is an inn in front of you, and there are two upper rooms, you can see ......"

Xia Sheng nodded and said, "I want to come down first, it's a big deal that after a few of you settle down, I'll go find another place to live, it's really not a big deal for a few of us men to squeeze in." ”

"Okay. ”

The young man ran away in a hurry, but Qin Yan immediately reacted and exclaimed, "You won't let me live with her tonight!"

Hearing this, Meng Qi also muttered softly, "I don't want to live with you yet." ”

Xia Sheng could only say helplessly: "When you go out, you can't pay attention to it so much, if you can find more rooms in other inns for a while, it is naturally the best, but looking at the situation today, I'm afraid it's not too optimistic......

As he spoke, Xia Sheng couldn't help but look at the outsiders coming and going on the street, and frowned slightly.

Not long after, Qin Yan, Meng Qi, Kang Wuwei, and the four young men took the lead in living in the Changshui Inn, well, of course, there are Dandan.

Although Kang Wuwei got out of the car by himself, his eyes were still dull, and his expression was a little wooden, like a puppet without a soul.

Xia Sheng arranged for a young man to take care of Kang Wuwei, as for whether Qin Yan and Meng Qi would tear down the entire inn because they couldn't look at each other, it was not within his consideration.

Xia Sheng and Ning Zheng walked out of the Changshui Inn, ready to find another place to stay, but they reluctantly found that this was a difficult task to complete.

As Ning Zheng said before, Blackwater Town was originally just a small town with no name, there were only two inns in the town, and the other one was full, and the only choice they had left was to stay in the Flower Building.

For Xia Sheng, this was not a good idea, because he was very skeptical that Qin Yan would pay for it.

However, Ning Zheng proposed a new solution, which was to borrow a night from the home of a local fisherman.

Of course, Ning Zheng's plan was for him to live outside with the little guy, while Xia Sheng and Kang Wuwei lived in the inn.

Xia Sheng had no objection to such an arrangement.

So the two changed their strategy and began to look for local fishermen in the town to inquire about the situation.

I never thought that this was not an uncommon thing for the residents of Heishui Town, long before Ning Zheng and Xia Sheng, many outsiders had come to ask.

At first, the fishermen in the town were a little wary of having so many strangers in their homes, but this situation soon changed, and the reason was simple, those outsiders were willing to give money.

Although the money given is not as high as the travel expenses of the guest house, it is indeed an additional income for the fishermen.

So in less than five days, almost the entire town of Blackwater was crowded by outsiders.

Hearing this, Xia Sheng had mixed feelings in his heart.

Happily, they can find a place to live, and if Qin Yan and Meng Qi are really incompatible, it is good to separate them.

But at the same time, he also felt a little worried.

It seems that the influx of a large number of outsiders into this Blackwater Town is much more serious than he and Ning Zheng expected!

Although he couldn't think of a reason for it for the time being, Xia Sheng felt something wrong.

If something is abnormal, there must be a demon.

"Uncle Li, when did these situations you mentioned happen approximately?"

Uncle Li, who was in charge of providing accommodation for Xia Sheng and Ning Zheng, thought for a moment and replied, "It seems to have been more than a week ago." ”

Xia Sheng then asked, "At that time, was there something big going on in the town?"

"No......" Uncle Li shook his head: "So it's strange to say this, our Heishui Town, in addition to the guys who come to collect fish, there are also tourists passing by, very few people will come, and I don't know what is going on, and it suddenly became lively." ”

Xia Sheng nodded, secretly kept this matter in his heart, and glanced at Ning Zheng.

Seeing this, Ning Zheng couldn't help but take half a step slower, walked to Xia Sheng's side, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say, don't make more trouble?"

Xia Sheng's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he said: "I don't know why, I always feel a little uneasy in my heart, you go to the town to find other people to inquire, and I can just follow Li Bo to see the house alone." ”

Ning Zheng could only nod: "Yes." ”

After a while, Xia Sheng followed Uncle Li to a private house in the east of Heishui Town, and didn't go far before entering a spacious courtyard.

There are fishing nets drying in the middle of the yard, and some pickled carp hanging from the bamboo poles next to it are swinging in the wind.

Xia Sheng was not the first guest from the countryside to come to Uncle Li's house, at least everywhere he looked, he had already seen five people, four men and one woman, no matter from their appearance or clothing, they were not locals.

Among the four men, two were about the same age as Uncle Li, both of them were about sixty or seventy years old, and the other three seemed to be a family, the little boy was sitting on the ground playing with mud, and the couple was standing by with laughter, and set up a stove in the courtyard, as if they were boiling fish soup.

At the same time that Xia Sheng walked into the courtyard, the five people raised their heads to look at him, most of them with curiosity in their eyes, and some natural vigilance.

And Xia Sheng stared at the little boy playing with mud and slowly narrowed his eyes.
