The guard Jia traveled all over the city, inspected every shopping street, and recorded the names and business areas of all the shops. I inspected all kinds of workshops, from cooking oil and seafood products to textile mills and dyeing mills.

The last thing that Huacheng lacks is seafood, and there are enough grains and vegetables to eat, and after my research with the guard Jia, I found that what they lack the most is a dyes.

There is no such ore dye in the local area, and the ore is different from flowers and plants, and can be transplanted and cultivated.

Where there is, there is, and there is no place where it cannot be planted.

This dye is shipped from far away from overseas, called sea stone, which can be dyed a special blue.

The light dye is loved by the girls, and the dye is very popular with men.

It's a pity that the entire Fengqi Continent can't find a single sea stone mine.

The cost of transportation and the scarcity of production are so sought after, and the price of a pound of sea stone powder is staggeringly high.

Those who can afford to buy sea stone blue clothes are either rich or expensive.

Guarding Jia is worthy of being the stationmaster, and it took him a few days to find out about the characteristics of the sea stone mine, the initial form, color, and how to find this kind of mine underground from the ground.

He inquired about all the methods of prospecting.

"Is there a sea stone mine on the island?"

"Yes, where there are mines, there is a kind of flower that grows on the surface, a very recognizable, blue flower, like this." The guard Jia took the branch and drew a flower on the ground.

The two of us were on our way to the countryside, and we had walked around the city of Huacheng, and we were going to go to the countryside to have a look.

"It's special." The flower is shaped like a wave, and the bottom petals are very blue, and the top petals are white, and they are finely broken, just like the sea holding a wave.

"That person said, I will never admit my mistake, this matter is not a secret, everyone knows it, but it is useless to know, we Fengqi do not have a sea stone mine."

"There are ...... only on the island"

"It's not all islands, alas, there are so many small islands in the sea, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack to find it, no wonder it's so rare."

"Do you think there will be one on Treasure Island?" Although Yunzhou and I have traveled all over Treasure Island, we have not touched every mountain.

"You can send people to search, and you can search the land inch by inch."

"Let's go back, I'll see if there is a tofu shop in the countryside first."

The coastal cities are all ancient cities, and in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, they really can't find what they lack.

There is almost no gap in the market, and we are foreign businessmen, and if we want to gain a firm foothold in Huacheng, we must innovate.

"Young lady, look."

Walking on the country road, the guard Jia suddenly pointed to the village not far away, and there was a smell of blood in the wind wafting from there.

The smell can drift with the wind, and it is certainly not as simple as killing chickens and slaughtering cows.

It was supposed to be noon cooking time, but there was not a single wisp of smoke in the village.

"Would you like to check it out?" The curiosity of the guard Jia is like that of grapes, long in bunches.

"More is better than less." I sensed that there was a group of killers with good martial arts skills in that village, who had been killing people for a long time, and the life energy group would be impregnated with dark energy.

Maybe it's what people call evil.

"Oh, let's go." Guard Jia suppressed his curiosity and walked forward.

To get to the village, you had to go down the fork in the road, and on either side of the road were farmland, and a small head suddenly poked out of the field.

"Auntie... Help me! "The little boy with pigtails, about five or six years old, with water droplets and mud marks on his face, lay in the field for an unknown amount of time.

"This?" Guard Jia still looked at me, waiting for me to give the order before acting.

"Take him with you."

"Howler!"

The guard Jia fished the little boy out of the field, the child was covered in mud, with a silver collar with a longevity lock around his neck, a shoe was missing, and his eyes were red and swollen from crying.

The group of killers scattered out of the village, but did not leave, as if searching for something.

I laid a gas filament in the field, and then told the guard Jia to leave here quickly.

We carry light work, high and high, anyway, there is no one else on this road.

He ran straight out for miles before jumping back to the ground from the treetops.

"What have you discovered, young lady?" Guard Jia asked at this time.

"There are killers." I gave him a coded gesture, which meant total annihilation.

He knew that there was nothing else to live in the village.

Holding the little boy in his arms tightly, he found that the child was asleep.

The little boy wore a longevity lock, his face was round, he was very pleasant, and his clothes and shoes were made of good fabric.

I looked at the back of the longevity lock, and it was cast with his name: Tao Abao.

"Young lady, this child has ...... in his body" The guard Jia thought that the boy was frightened and frightened, so he took his pulse.

"There is an internal force that does not belong to him, and if no one helps him pull it out, he will die." I checked it with my ability and found more than the Guardian Jia.

"That's right, you will use the magic skill, this kid's life is really big."

"Life is great, but life is also hard." As I spoke, I sucked the little boy's strength, which was controlled by a special drug, so he died before receiving a large amount of internal force.

The person who inputs the internal force for him, to say the least, also has the internal force of Yijiazi, and when this happens, it is estimated that the person will not survive, and he will bet all his hopes on this child.

The effect of the medicine subsided, the internal force disappeared, and the child really fell asleep, grabbing the collar of the guard Jia in his sleep.

On this part of the road, there is no shop in the village before and after, and if you want to find a place to settle the child and find him some food and drink, you must hurry to the next stop.

The two of us drove more than 20 kilometers before we saw a house where people lived.

The house has a fenced yard, and there are chicken coops and kennels in the yard, but there are no dogs, and an old man sits in the yard to repair wooden basins.

According to the map, it will be another 20 kilometers to the next village.

I don't care about the guard Jia, I'm just afraid that this kid won't be able to stand it.

The guard Jia stepped forward and knocked on the door, greeted the old man, saying that he was the guardian of Yunfu, and went out to run errands with the lady of the house, and picked up a poor child on the way, probably an orphan, the child is now thirsty and hungry, we have no food with us, and we are willing to take money to buy some food from the old man.

"Oh? Poor people, please come in and sit down. The old man put down the tools in his hand, hurriedly opened the courtyard door, and looked at the child in the arms of the guard Jia with some sympathy.

An old woman came out of the house with two small benches and set them up for me and my guard.

It was hot in the house on this day, but it was cooler to sit in the shaded yard.

"Don't be busy, we'll be fine, just grab something that a child can eat." The guard Jia took out the money bag from his arms and was stopped by the old man.

"Huh? There are no good things at home, what money do you pay for a sweet potato! ”

She said that she was eating sweet potatoes, but the old woman took out two eggs from the chicken coop, went to the kitchen to beat them into egg liquid, and put them in the pot to steam.

The guard Jia was not in a hurry to stuff the money at this time, he put away the money bag, and when the little boy finished eating the boiled sweet potatoes and steamed egg custard, he quietly put the money on the stove under the pretext of going to the kitchen to scoop saliva and drink.

He pretended to ask casually about the village we passed by when we came, and said that it was strange that no one in the village started to cook at noon.

The old man sighed and said, "No, I haven't heard of any activities in their village." ”

The old woman also nodded: "That's right, all the villages do all the activities in Pinglan County, but it's lively, and some people make a special trip to inform the retail investors. ”

"Oh, that's weird." Guard Jia pretended to be puzzled.

He raised the topic because he wanted to know more about the village.

How can an ordinary village attract a group of killers?

If you tell them that the village was slaughtered, you will be afraid that the old man will be frightened.

"That Taojia Village is not ordinary." The old man was really aroused by the escort Jia to chat.

The name 'Tao Abao' was written on the little boy's longevity lock, and the old man said that the village was called Taojia Village, which was just right.

"How is it not ordinary? Tell me, I'm a good man to hear new things. ”

"The novelty is not a novelty, it is a powerful person in Taojia Village, Yuancheng knows, right?"

"I know, Jianghu City, a gathering place for heroes from all walks of life."

"Oh yes, there is a ten thousand bodyguard bureau in Yuancheng, have you heard of it?"

"I've heard that the biggest dart game in Yuancheng is well-known in the rivers and lakes."

"Hey, that's right, the old dart head of the Ten Thousand Bodyguards Bureau, the fifth master of the Ten Thousand Shadow Gun Tao, lives in that village!"

"Hey, such a bullish character in Taojia Village?"

The two of them teased each other, as if they were talking about cross talk.

"Grandpa......" The little boy was frightened, and his expression was a little sad, but when he heard the words 'Ten Thousand Shadow Gun Tao Five Masters', he finally reacted.

"Huh?" When the old man heard the little boy call grandpa, he caught a glimpse of the collar around his neck, reached out and turned over the longevity lock, and saw the three words Tao Abao cast behind him.

"Tao Abao, Tao Qi'er?" The old man directly said the little boy's name and hurriedly asked us, "Where did you pick up the child?" ”

The old woman was also nervous at this time, but looking at their eyes, they should not know Tao Abao himself, maybe they had heard some of his descriptions, such as this longevity lock collar.

"On the way here, he was lying on his stomach in the farmland on the side of the road, and we thought he was an outcast." There are still loopholes in Guard Jia's statement, but the old couple has no time to pursue the details.

The old man stood up from the bench with a worried look.

"Taojia Village... This child's name is Tao Abao, nicknamed Tao Qi'er, is Tao Wuye's heart, usually there are three nurses around him, and a large group of servants and maids are waiting on the left and right, it is impossible for him to go out alone, and make it like this. ”

"Old man, something happened in Taojia Village?"

"Eighty percent is, we have to report to the official quickly."

"Don't worry, you two, since something may have happened in Taojia Village, I'll go and confirm it first, if it's true, I'll report to the official, I'll be faster, just trouble your second elder to let my young lady rest here."

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry young man."

"You're welcome, my young lady has always been kind-hearted, and when the road is uneven, she will definitely help."

I glared at him, and he slipped away.

There is no living mouth in that village, and the killer should also leave, even if he does not leave, how can the official servants be their opponents, and if they go, they will be sent to death.

That's why I didn't rush to report to the official, so as not to take someone's life inside.

We don't understand the situation, so we shouldn't act rashly.

Anyway, the killers have my gas 'silk' on them, and they have already brought them back to meet their master.

Wait for the people from the yamen to go over, confirm the situation, and if you really want to arrest someone, I will provide technical support to find the murderer.

While waiting, the old man couldn't help shaking his head and sighed: "The people of the rivers and lakes still can't jump out of the rivers and lakes." ”

"Wan Bodyguard Bureau has a good reputation, no one does not praise Tao Wuye's character, I have never heard that he has enemies in the rivers and lakes." This is true, the Wan Bodyguard Bureau has opened three generations, and Tao Wuye's generation is the third generation, and the main focus of the three grandparents is that they are reliable, love to make friends, especially pay attention to faithfulness, and honesty in business.

The martial arts black/Taoist people also admired him, and the former boss of the original body had asked Tao Wuye to protect the dart a few times, and the two sides cooperated happily.

The original body had never heard that Tao Wuye had an enemy, and secretly took refuge in the Jianghu sect of the Rainy Heaven Palace, and there was no name of the Ten Thousand Bodyguards Bureau.

"There was no before, during the chaos in Yuancheng, Tao Wuye didn't know what order he received, he only accepted things, and didn't send them out, so he took the whole family back to his hometown to care for the elderly."

The old man seemed to be reminiscing, twisted his beard, and then said:

"When I first came back, I heard that their family sent a family to guard the front and back doors every day, patrolling inside and outside the courtyard night and night, as if they were afraid that someone would chase after them."

"Oh, my youngest son used to work as a coachman in his house, quit his job half a year ago, and went to Huacheng Car Dealer to charter a car, this young man, always wants to go to the city."

"Poor Tao Wuye, his son and daughter-in-law were gone when the Yuancheng Rebellion was gone, when he was young, he only cared about practicing martial arts, beating people and learning from others, and he was bent on making a name for himself, and he married a daughter-in-law in his forties, and it was not easy to get a son when he was old, and the result was ...... Alas..."

Tao Wuye did have a son at the age of fifty, and he was an only son, the child was born weak, not suitable for martial arts, Tao Wuye did not force it, for him to study, paint, and learn piano.

His son was competitive, early in love, early in marriage, early childbearing, and became a father at the age of sixteen.

How big the pomp and circumstance of his son's wedding and grandson's 100-day banquet is, everyone in Yuancheng knows.

It turned out that his son and daughter-in-law were killed in the Yuancheng catastrophe.

However, his son is a scholar, and his daughter-in-law's family is a disciple of Menxiang, and the killer recruited by Taojia Village should have nothing to do with his son and daughter-in-law.

"My children always chatter, saying that the treasure on the neck of the little master of the Tao family is not ordinary, although it is silver, but the fifth master Tao invited the most powerful locksmith to create a mechanism in this long-lived lock, and there is a priceless treasure hidden in it, you look at the small stone on the front of this lock."

The old man pointed to the small white stone inlaid in the middle of the front of the longevity lock and said:

"My son said, this stone is not a gem, it is not jade, it is a stone dug out of the head of some monster... It is still crystallized, as long as it is brought to the body, the child's brain is getting smarter and smarter. ”

This should be a rumor, I deliberately sensed it, and the stone didn't have any special energy.

Moreover, the longevity lock worn by a four- or five-year-old child cannot be too big, and there are several things that can be hidden in such a small thing.

Coupled with the space occupied by the mechanism, the space for treasures is too small.

Pearls, pills? It will never be a martial arts cheats, even if the content of the entire cheats is abbreviated on a piece of paper, it can't be stuffed.

So the old man shook his head and said, "What kind of treasure?" I don't believe it, such a gadget can't even fit the golden lump the size of a dumpling. ”
