Chapter 20: The First Entry into Dip City
At dawn we went to Del Tilba, a town nearly three times larger than Little Del Bo, more prosperous, more serene, and more exciting. The people here don't have the strange smell of zombies, they are all normal humans. We sat around a tea table on the side of the street and had a simple breakfast.
If it were a town, the city of Little Dipa was a village, and now a town of barren ruins strewn with tombstones.
There were cars on the road, and the guards spread out a whole street,* and the sacred noble carriages drove by, and under the noise were the hooves of the horses and the endless dust.
"Who is this?" asked the young man who was cleaning up the cage on the side. The man replied politely, "It is the most trusted Mr. Bachelor of the city lord." ”
"Oh, it's quite a big show. I interjected.
"Presumably the three of them are from other places," the man took out the buns from the cage drawer, brought them to us, and began to talk to us, "this bachelor's status and rights in my town can be said to be calling for wind and rain, and the lord of the city has paid special attention to him, and gave him a courtyard, which he built into a treasure hall, which has many rare treasures for us to see." Today is a special opening day, so if you are interested, you can go and see it. ”
"yes, I'm going to check it out, thank you, man. "Xiao is also polite.
After eating, I walked around the street casually, and found that many people gathered together, and went over to take a look, it was a bulletin board, in addition to announcing that it was the opening day, there was also a bounty, for the arrest of the girl who attempted to assassinate the bachelor, and a large reward was offered and a portrait of the girl was attached.
"Oh... I looked at it stupidly, "Xiaoya, do you see if we are..."
"Well, I don't care. Xiao also replied to me lightly, always without me finishing. Travel, how can you travel without money.
The people were mostly scattered, and we were about to leave, when a man in a black cloak and a mask tore off the bounty notice and quickly left.
"Strange girl. Xiaobai muttered. I asked him in surprise, "How do you know it's a girl?"
"The smell of girls' perfume is particularly obvious. ”
"It's open, do you want to go?" Xiao Ye chased the crowd to the legendary treasure hall without looking back, and Xiao Bai and I chased after it.
The Bachelor's Annex, also known as the Treasure Gallery, is simply a museum, with flowers and birds in full bloom and butterflies fluttering, as if in a garden, which is very attractive. Inside, the treasured items are precious books, calligraphy and paintings, shells, and even the dry bones of dragons and phoenixes.
The townspeople were full of praise for the bachelor and the collection, and in the noisy crowd, Xiao also stared at a peony painting, and I patted him, but he was unmoved.
"Xiaoye, what are you looking at?" I learned He was also looking at the peony picture, a bright blood-red peony, nothing special.
"The walls, inside the walls, there are things. ”
"What's that?" I was taken aback, and reached out to try to touch the wall, but was disturbed by the sudden appearance of a middle-aged guard officer wearing an official hat and a kind face.
"Please don't touch the precious calligraphy and paintings, you will be displeased. As he spoke, he took out a glittering invitation and handed it to us, "At eight o'clock tonight, in the best restaurant in the town, the Bachelor is waiting for the three, please be sure to appreciate your face." ”
I took the invitation and was very confused to ask something, but the man walked away. Xiao also glanced at the post, and continued to look at the wall, and I could hardly sit still, why did this adult know about us and invite us? Could it be that this adult already knows our actions?
