Chapter 167: Go to the shopkeeper's hometown

The grass clippings on his body had not yet been cleaned up, so Caixing hurriedly pulled Bai Yanqing and walked towards the inner hall of the inn. At this time, Yuan Ziyue and Yun Ji, who couldn't find Yun Qi, were anxious to dig three feet into the ground of this Moon Reflecting Inn!

"Brother Huang, you are back! Where have you been? Ziyue and I almost turned this inn upside down!"

The moment they saw Yun Qi, Yun Ji and Yuan Ziyue were secretly relieved! Seeing that Yun Qi was unharmed, Yun Ji couldn't help but chatter! It really broke him!

Yun Qi waved his hand at them, signaling them to be calm.

"Picking stars? Why is this girl with you?"

Yun Ji turned to the side and saw Cai Xing behind Bai Yanqing, and his eyes showed a little surprise! Didn't you say that they were missing? This will be ...... How did she end up here again?

Cai Xing turned a deaf ear to Yun Ji's words. She pulled Bai Yanqing and walked aside, and then in front of several people, she told her what happened last night.

It turned out that everything last night was Dr. Hua's plan! He didn't want Bai Yanqing and Yuan Quinoa to follow, so he came up with such a bad trick, wanting to get rid of Bai Yanqing and Yuan Quinoa!

"If Dr. Hua did it intentionally, why did it ...... You will be tied up by the shopkeeper and Xiao Er again? And Dr. Hua and Ling Yu, where are the two of them now?"

After listening to Caixing's words, Bai Yanqing became more and more curious! Doctor Hua didn't want Bai Yanqing and them to follow, so why, I didn't know before? I have to come to this Biluo Town to do these things, and I want to make Bai Yanqing retreat?

"Actually, I don't know exactly where they went! As for the shopkeeper and the little two...... I could tell from what they said that they didn't know Dr. Hua well! This inn was originally opened by an old acquaintance of Dr. Hua, and he also knows about this secret passage! Originally, he wanted to use this secret passage to get rid of you! I don't know what went wrong in the middle! Zero Elm they're gone! And the person who pretended to be the shopkeeper and the second child, I don't know who ordered me to tie me up!"

Caixing honestly told everything she knew to the few people in front of her. As for the rest, she doesn't know too well! All she knew was that when she woke up, she was already in that secret passage!

The appearance of picking stars is not like lying! What's more, it was a coincidence that Bai Yanqing and the others met Cai Xing, Cai Xing was indeed tied, there is no doubt about this! It's just that whether this is a self-directed and self-acting drama or not, no one can say for sure!

"You've taken a walk around town, and what have you learned?"

Regarding Caixing's words, Yun Qi neither believed nor said he didn't believe it, but only turned around slowly and asked Yuan Ziyue.

"We inquired that the shopkeeper of this inn has a family and a room in his hometown in the countryside. Some people say that the shopkeeper of this Yingyue Inn looks unsatisfactory, but the wife he married in his early years is a beautiful woman like a fairy! It is said that the woman had been to Biluo Town many years ago, and she never appeared again!"

Yuan Ziyue said what he had heard and said it one by one.

The innkeeper's housework? What's the use of inquiring about this kind of thing?

"Didn't you say that the shopkeeper of the Moon Inn, had been missing for many days? And what does what happens to us have to do with him?"

Bai Yanqing was a little puzzled, she only thought that Yuan Ziyue and Yun Ji were inquiring blindly, not asking about what should be inquired, and not asking about gossip that should not be inquired, but inquiring a lot.

"Does anyone know where the hometown of the shopkeeper of the Moon Inn is?"

Regarding this news, it is obvious that Yun Qi is somewhat interested.

"There is a messenger in the town, saying that he once brought a few letters back to his hometown for the shopkeeper of this inn, and he should know where the shopkeeper's hometown is!"

Yuan Ziyue continued.

"What about others?"

Yun Qi glanced at Yuan Ziyue, Yuan Ziyue understood, and immediately replied: "The person has already brought it!" I'm waiting!"

The tacit understanding between the two is full. Yun Qi can think of it, Yuan Ziyue has done it!

With that, Yuan Ziyue turned around and left

Go, but after a while, I saw him leading a thin and short man, and walked over!

"Master, it's him!"

Yuan Ziyue led the person to Yun Qi, pointed to the short and thin man, and said to Yun Qi.

Yun Qi nodded, and didn't ask the man first, but turned around, looked at Caixing, and asked, "Caixing, do you remember, what did Dr. Hua tell you?" Did he let you enter the secret passage by yourself, or did they enter it with you?"

Hearing this, Cai Xing froze, then frowned, and thought for a long time before he spoke: "I remember...... He said, "Let me enter this secret passage myself and wait for them."

"Did he tell you, how did the two of them get out?"

Yun Qi then asked.

"Not really!"

Cai Xing shook his head, the implication was not difficult to hear, Cai Xing didn't know how Dr. Hua and Ling Yu chose to get out!

"Let's go, take us to the hometown of the shopkeeper of the Moon Inn!"

Yun Qi no longer asked Cai Xing, but turned around and said to the short and thin man.

The man, who received Yuan Ziyue's silver, was naturally courteous to Yun Qi and his party! Hearing Yun Qi speak, he hurriedly turned around and led the way in front!

"This shopkeeper's hometown is not far away, but it's only a half-day drive!"

As the man spoke, he was about to climb into the carriage, but was stopped by Yuan Ziyue's outstretched arm!

"You, go horseback riding!"

There is only one carriage, and there is Yuan Quinoa lying on the car, and then Bai Yanqing and Caixing are all women, how can they let a foreign man ride together?

Seeing Yuan Ziyue's fierce appearance, the man didn't dare to say much, so he had to walk to the side cowardly, find a Yunqi and the rest of the horses they picked up, and rode up!

The short and thin man is really good, the hometown of the shopkeeper Gu is not far from Biluo Town! The group hurried away, and it only took about two hours to arrive.

The small village is not large, it is sparsely populated, and it is home to a small number of dozens of families. The short and thin man, relying on his memory, took Yun Qi and them to the front of a small courtyard!

The old courtyard gate and the old wall all reveal that this courtyard has been lost here.

Yuan Ziyue ordered a short and thin man to call the door, he has always eaten people with a soft mouth and short hands, but the man did not refuse, and ran straight to the front!

The knock on the door of "dong dong dong" is particularly loud in this sparsely populated countryside.

"Who?"

A gentle female voice sounded from the courtyard. Immediately after, the courtyard door was opened from the inside!

A middle-aged woman dressed in coarse linen walked out with her feet lifted! She obviously hesitated when she saw so many people standing outside her courtyard, but soon, she regained her look!

"But are you nobles, knocking on the door of the slave family?"

The woman whispered softly, and in the face of so many people, she was not panicked at all.

"Sister-in-law of the Gu family, do you remember me? I'm the one in Biluo Town, the messenger."

When the short man saw the woman come out, he hurried up to her, pointed to himself, and introduced himself.

Hearing this, the woman narrowed her eyes, stared at the short and thin man, and looked up and down a few times: "It turned out to be the little brother of the Li family!" The slave family has an impression!"

The woman smiled, and suddenly realized.

"Sister-in-law of the Gu family, I have something to disturb you today!"

The short, thin man gestured at the woman, and then continued.

"These officials, today are for the sake of the shopkeeper, and they came to look for their sister-in-law! There are some things that I want to ask my sister-in-law about, and I hope my sister-in-law doesn't mind!"

When the short man spoke to the woman, he was very polite and respectful, which was half a point different from the previous appearance of a hanger!

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come to the house!"

The woman smiled very gently, she turned sideways slightly, and led Yunqi and the others in!

Yun Qi didn't pretend to be polite to her, bowed slightly to the woman, and then led Bai Yanqing and them straight

Walked into the precincts! The group, just like that, entered the courtyard of her house.

"Everyone, wait a minute, the slave family will go boil water to make tea!"

The woman's hospitality, very thoughtful, dignified and generous, it is difficult to see that this is a peasant woman who lives in the countryside all year round!

"Don't bother Madame, I'll just have a few words to ask Madame, and I'll leave after asking!"

Yun Qi saw that the woman was about to boil water, so he spoke directly.

"There's no need to be in a hurry, the slave family looks at your battle and thinks about what needs to be asked, and I can't finish saying a few words!"

The woman replied with a smile, still in an unhurried, warm tone.

Then, the woman's gentle and calm eyes swept over everyone present, but when she saw the stars, her eyes changed slightly! The subtle change in the woman's eyes did not escape the eyes of Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi, and the two of them looked at each other tacitly.

After the woman said that, she turned around slowly, leaving Yun Qi and the others waiting in the courtyard.

As soon as the woman left, the atmosphere in the courtyard became a little weird in an instant. The short and thin man, seeing that the situation was not quite right, hurriedly made an excuse and slipped away! Anyway, he only agreed to bring them here, and now, now that he has found the hometown of Shopkeeper Gu, he doesn't want to get involved in the next things!

Taking advantage of the woman's efforts to boil water and make tea, Bai Yanqing and a few people walked back and forth in this small courtyard.

This small yard is in a secluded place, and there are no neighbors for a kilometer around! The tall trees outside the courtyard hide this small courtyard in it, making this small courtyard look very uneye-catching!

On the ground in the small courtyard, a layer of bluestone slabs is paved, which is very rare in the countryside! Even Bai Yanqing, the courtyard where he lived in Zhuangzi before, has never been paved with bluestone slabs on the ground in the courtyard! When it rains, the mud in the courtyard is loose and soft, and the mud is stepped on!

And this small courtyard is very different! It seems to be an ordinary farmhouse yard, but the inside is very well repaired! In the right-hand corner of the small courtyard, a well was dug, and the wheels in the well creaked from time to time. Come to think of it, it must be Fang Cai, the owner of the yard, who has just fetched water!

On the left side of the small courtyard, there is a stone table, around the round stone table, there are four stone benches, the edge of the stone bench has been polished very smooth, think of it, the owner of this yard, must be from time to time, sitting on the stone bench to do work! The small courtyard looks a little light, but if you take a closer look, you can see that the guys in this small courtyard can compare with anything, the rich and noble families in the capital!

But think about it carefully, the shopkeeper Gu is a businessman, and the money he earns is naturally for his family! It is reasonable to buy some good things for the wife at home!

"I've kept you waiting!"

At this moment, the hostess of the small courtyard, carrying tea and snacks, walked out!

On the wooden tray, there is a fine purple clay pot, and the spout is steaming! The refreshing aroma of tea is slowly overflowing! In addition, there is also a plate of dim sum on the tray, white and clean pastries, which looks very familiar!

"Red bean cake?"

Caixing was the first to cry out in surprise!

"The girl has good eyesight, it is indeed red bean cake! This is a new thing that the slave family got up this morning, but it's really a coincidence, isn't it? As soon as this is out of the pot, all of you guests are coming to the door!"

The woman raised her hand, poured tea for everyone, and poured tea one by one. Then he stretched out two fingers, pinched up a piece of red bean cake, and then held it up in front of Caixing's eyes: "Girl, taste it?"

Seeing this, Caixing hurriedly reached out and took it. The soft and glutinous red bean cake, when you bite into it, it is full of the sweetness of red beans!
