Chapter 77: Landscape, Ningchuan
Two little children, in their teens, are still childish.
Next to one stood a fierce white wolf.
Next to one stood a strong black bull.
When such a scene is put together, it is undoubtedly quite eye-catching.
No, as soon as they arrived, they attracted countless eyes, and some of the people in front of them turned around and peeked.
And not only did they enjoy the different eyes of others, but some of the guards who guarded the city paid special attention to them.
As a result, others were simply searched and paid some tolls, and then they were let in.
But when it was their turn, the guards not only questioned them in detail, but also searched them carefully, and finally demanded that they pay three times the toll before they were allowed to enter the city.
Interrogation and body search, it's okay to say, the two are quite cooperative.
But being asked to pay three times the toll made them a little unhappy.
So, Qiao Feng couldn't help but ask why?
Some of the guards said that they brought their spirit pets, saying that their spirit pets looked very fierce, and after entering the city, they might frighten some residents and cause some unnecessary trouble, so they had to collect money.
Moreover, the toll for a spirit pet is twice as high as that of a person.
If they don't like it, leave the pet out of the city.
Anyway, this is the order of the city lord, and they are just carrying it out.
Originally, Ding and Qiao wanted to argue, but the large group of people behind them accused them one after another, and they didn't actually lack those dozens of gold coins, so after discussing with each other, they agreed to spend the money.
After entering the city.
They wandered around for a while, and when they came across a restaurant, they went inside.
Of course, people can go in, but if they are pets, they are not allowed to enter, especially the big white and big black looks very fierce, and most people are afraid when they see it.
If they are allowed to enter, the other customers will definitely be scared away, and the business of the restaurant will probably not be able to do it.
Even, the shopkeeper was afraid to approach them, and did not dare to take them to the stable to settle down.
As a last resort, Ding and Qiao had to personally lead the spirit pet to the stable and settle down, and then returned to the hall of the restaurant to eat.
The two hadn't had a formal meal in days, so this time, they decided to have a good meal.
So, the two of them went back and ordered a few of their favorite dishes.
It didn't take long for the food and wine to be served, and the two of them chatted without saying a word while eating.
Halfway through the dinner, Ding Jianhu proposed, saying that the shopkeeper has a lot of contact with people every day, and his knowledge must be broader, maybe he has some understanding of the child's disappearance case, so it is better to ask him to come over and have a drink with him, and by the way, inquire about the relevant situation.
Qiao Feng felt that it was feasible.
So, Ding Jian called a shopkeeper who was not very busy.
The shopkeeper was a young man, seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was relatively thin, not to mention that he was not as big as half of Qiao Feng's body, and even Ding Jian was half a head taller than him.
However, Ding and Qiao will not look down on him because of his low status.
After he approached, Qiao Feng smiled at him and said, "Hello, this little second brother, please sit down and have a few drinks with us, by the way, we have a few words to ask you." ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "No, I won't sit down, in case the shopkeeper sees it, it won't be good." Well, I won't drink the wine, two little guest officers, if you have anything to ask, just ask, the little one knows everything. ”
Qiao Feng didn't force him, and said, "It's okay, then I won't embarrass you." Looking at Ding Jian, he said, "Xiaojian, come and ask, I want to eat." ”
Ding Jian knew that he was greedy, and in the face of food, where did he still have the heart to pay attention to others, so he smiled and promised: "Okay." He looked at the shopkeeper and said straight to the point, "Little second brother, that's the case, we heard on the road that many children have mysteriously disappeared around here, do you know some of the circumstances, can you tell us about it?"
"This ......" the shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "This little guest officer, I think you two seem to be people who practice martial arts, you plan to eliminate harm for the people, right?"
Ding Jian said: "Yes, both of our brothers are martial arts practitioners, and when the road is uneven, we should draw our swords to help." Little second brother, just tell me what you know, so that we can find out the evildoer as soon as possible, and bring him to justice as soon as possible, so that we can save one or two more families, right?"
The shopkeeper said: "This little guest officer, in fact, I know very little about this matter, I only heard that the children of several families in the city have disappeared, as for where they disappeared, and when they disappeared, this is not very clear." So, I don't have any useful information for you. After a pause, he added, "However, if you really want to rid the people of harm, I suggest you go to a certain place." ”
Ding Jian asked, "What is the place?" ”
The shopkeeper said: "A place called Shanshui Building." ”
Ding Jian asked again, "What kind of place is that?"
The shopkeeper replied: "A place to drink tea, it is the largest teahouse in the city." ”
Ding Jian sighed, and then asked, "Where to do what?"
Dian Xiaoer said: "I heard that the impact of this case of the disappearance of the child is too bad, and it has reached the ears of the county magistrate, so he sent a person who claims to be the first god arrester in Beimang County to investigate the case, and the first god arrest seems to be called Ning Chuan, it is said that he is a master at the level of the Spirit Sect, and he is like a god, if you want to contribute to this matter, you can go to Shanshui Tower to talk to him." ”
Ding Jianqi said: "Since he is the first god catcher, he must be elusive, you let us go to Shanshui Tower, can we really find him?"
The shopkeeper said: "This ...... I heard that after Ning Shenzhu came to this city, he had people let out a message, saying that if anyone had any clues about this case, they could go directly to Shanshui Tower to find him. Even if he wasn't there, someone would have been there to receive him. ”
Ding Jian smiled and said, "I see...... However, since even the first god arrest has been dispatched, I think that this case has nothing to do with us, so it doesn't seem to make much sense for us to go or not. ”
In the latter part, he actually said it to Qiao Feng.
The shopkeeper said: "This little guest officer, how can you say that, isn't it more than one person?" So, if you want to help, I think that one Ning Shenzhu will be very welcome." ”
Ding Jian smiled and said, "Okay, little second brother, you can go on your own first." Let's make a decision after we've finished eating. ”
The shopkeeper said, "Okay." Then please use it slowly, I'll go and get busy first, if you need any help, please feel free to ask. ”
Ding Jian said: "Yes, you go and get busy." ”
So, the shopkeeper turned around and left.
