Iron Sword Suspicion Section 2, Qiushui Town
Qiushui Town is a small town in the Spring Kingdom, a very special town, just located on the border between the Spring Kingdom and Datong.
People come and go, and most of the people who come and go are businessmen running between the two countries.
The Good Inn is a very ordinary wine inn in Qiushui Town. It was rustically decorated and cleaned. Business travelers like to rest and stay here.
The drinks at the inn are very real, of excellent quality, and very cheap. The same goes for the accommodation, which is clean and tidy, big and comfortable, giving a sense of peace of mind at home. Most importantly, the innkeepers are an old couple who always have a warm smile, bringing an inexplicable sense of happiness to passing travelers.
If a person comes to Qiushui Town for the first time and sees that the guests are full, he will naturally have a good impression of the "Good Inn", and he will naturally want to enter the "Good Inn" to have a look.
People come and go, and the news in the good inn flows very quickly. Even if you don't do anything, you can hear a lot of news just by sitting alone.
Among the news streams, the most talked about is the assassination of the holy woman of Hehuan two years ago.
Everyone felt that this was a big event, and maybe it would become the fuse of the war in the fairy world, causing war chaos and affecting the mortal world. Although worried, this is a matter between the immortal families, and mortals cannot interfere, nor can they have any impact. Therefore, after a tense discussion, everyone put down their chopsticks again, resumed their busyness, left the inn, walked into the distance, and rushed forward.
Occasionally, someone will chant a poem against him, and the most sung poem is called "Will Enter the Wine"!
This poem is magnificent, emotional, fluent, and highly infectious. The sentence "Life must be happy, and the daughter will come back after being scattered", what righteousness, how free and easy, how confident, but what a "unexpected"!
People who come and go praise this song endlessly, and even Xiaobai likes this song "Will Enter the Wine" very much.
"Si Dao, I'll reveal a secret to you. This poem was given to Sister Xiaoqi by a teenager. The person who wrote this poem must be a very remarkable character, super handsome and super generous. Xiaobai said proudly, with a sense of admiration in his tone, admiration for the author of the poem.
At this moment, Xiaobai turned into a woman in white, sitting next to Si Dao and sitting in the good inn.
She is so beautiful, even if the image of eating is terrible, she is still so beautiful that people will not want to leave. People who come and go, from time to time, sweep their eyes to her. These business travelers have obviously run out of tea and food, but they are still reluctant to leave.
"That's not good. How can an ordinary teenager have such a poetic talent, and the person who writes poetry may be a middle-aged uncle who is frustrated in the workplace. Si Dao responded.
He had a conversation with Xiaobai at the same table, which attracted the envy of countless people.
"What Sister Xiaoqi told me, can there still be fake? jealousy! You are jealous! Hmph!" Xiaobai was very dissatisfied.
Si Dao belittled the author of "Will Enter the Wine", Xiaobai was so angry that he couldn't take care of eating, his cheeks bulged, and he stared at Si Dao with a straight streak.
"I heard that "Will Enter the Wine" was indeed written by a young man. The old man also heard that the young man who wrote the poem was very beautiful, just like ...... It's as beautiful as Childe. "It was the old man of the inn who spoke.
He came to deliver wine, saw the two of them like immortals, and heard the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but interject.
"The young man who composes poetry must be much more beautiful than him!" Xiaobai did not fully agree with the old man's words.
However, hearing the affirmation of the innkeeper, Xiaobai was very happy, as if "Will Enter the Wine" was written by her, as if praising the author was praising her.
Si Dao didn't care at all, and his face was still flat.
Seeing this, Xiaobai was a little angry again: "Did you hear it? Si Dao, talking to you!"
"Well, I hear you. Si Dao nodded perfunctorily, which made Xiaobai even more angry.
Si Dao didn't care about Xiaobai's anger at all, but found it interesting. If he is bored, he will deliberately tease Xiaobai like this.
Although Xiaobai is a demon, according to his age, he should be more than 100 years old, but his thinking is not much different from that of a little girl, and his views on things tend to be two-dimensional - black and white!
And no matter how angry Xiaobai was, after a while, she would return to her original state, a little heartless. If Si Dao has grilled fish in his hand, Xiaobai still laughs and obeys Si Dao's words.
Therefore, Si Dao ignored Xiaobai. He said respectfully to the old man of the inn: "Uncle, do you know about the disappearance of the girl three and a half years ago?"
Three and a half years ago, Cheng Yang's sister disappeared here. In fact, not only Cheng Yang's sister, but also more than 100 women disappeared at the same time. Si Dao came here in the hope of finding some clues.
"The girl is missing??? the old man thought for a while before remembering, "Oh~...... Childe said that. That's a strange thing, nearly a hundred girls disappeared out of thin air, and they couldn't find the slightest clue. I heard that the missing girls are all young and extremely beautiful. I also heard ......"
At the end, the old man stopped talking, as if he had said something that should not be said.
"What else did the old man hear?" asked Si Dao.
"I'm just an old man, I don't know anything about it. Besides, I've only heard about it, and I can't take it seriously. The old man shook his head, obviously not wanting to continue.
"Say, sir, what do you say!" said Xiaobai.
Her curiosity was completely piqued. Her eyes were big and bubbling with water, and it was impossible to refuse.
"Okay, good!" the old man couldn't refuse Xiaobai, "Then I'll tell you, don't tell anyone else!"
"Definitely, definitely. Xiaobai promised.
"I heard that the missing girl was taken captive by Hehuan Xianmen. Hehuan disciples cultivate love and survive love calamities, so they naturally need young and beautiful girls. The old man suppressed his voice and said very quietly.
According to the old man's idea, the Hehuan Sect is an immortal sect and cannot be discussed. Who would have thought that as soon as the old man finished speaking, the beautiful girl in front of him laughed, while the handsome young man frowned and said nothing.
"I've also heard people talk nonsense, and I can't take it seriously, I can't take it seriously. Perhaps, behind the disappearance of the girl are other immortals in the Spring Kingdom. The old man quickly shook his head and denied it.
"Uncle, did the girl's disappearance happen after that?" Si Dao did not investigate, but asked again.
"I heard from travelers that three years ago, there were disappearances of young girls in many places near the border between Chunguo and Datongguo. However, in recent years, it has not happened that so many women disappeared out of thin air all at once, as they did three years ago. The old man said truthfully.
"The girl's disappearance doesn't seem to have had much of an impact?"
"How much of an impact can it have? Even if it happens around you, it's just a matter of tension. In the end, the matter is nothing more than the talk of the traveler. The old man laughed.
"Old man, the guests over there call you!" summoned the old woman of the inn.
The old man didn't linger to talk.
Si Dao thought back to the old man's words and pondered.
It sounds like the disappearance of the girl three and a half years ago did not have much of an impact, and even began to be forgotten. Also, as the old man said, more than 100 girls are really small compared to hundreds of millions of people. Most people may be indignant about this kind of thing, but they will never pay too much attention to it. After all, the victims are all extremely beautiful girls, and they can't be hooked with ordinary people.
It's not that easy for the priest to get clues, at least for now, there is no good entry point.
However, Si Dao is not in a hurry. He swept his gaze to Xiaobai.
Xiaobai was pouting and stuffing something into his mouth to eat. She felt Si Dao's eyes and realized that the other party had a request for her.
Although she didn't know the motives of Si Dao's actions, she also understood that Si Dao would not come to Qiushui Town for no reason, nor would she ask the innkeeper so much for no reason.
She rejoiced at the thought that Si Dao needed to ask for her help, and she was overjoyed at the thought that Si Dao could no longer pretend to be indifferent.
She put down the roast chicken in her hand, held her small breasts, and said with a very proud attitude: "You seem to be looking for some clues? Don't worry, as long as you beg me, as long as you admit that the poet of "Will Enter the Wine" is more amazing than you, more handsome than you, I can consider helping you! Also, you have to make me grilled fish to eat, and you can't ignore me anymore, as if I didn't exist, there is still ......."
Before she could finish speaking, she was gagged by a big chicken leg!
She had expected that the priest would beg him like a pug. But in fact, Si Dao still looked so meaningless, and didn't pay any attention to her.
"Hurry up and eat, and leave when you're done!" he said flatly.
"Let's go, but I haven't finished eating! I don't want to go! I want to go, you go by yourself!"
"Oh! Okay, then I'm leaving!"
After Si Dao finished speaking, he put down the silver taels, then got up and left the inn!
"Eh, Si Dao, don't you want a clue? Si Dao, why are you really leaving! Si Dao, you wait for me, you go slowly!"
Xiaobai was originally unhurried. In her opinion, Si Dao asked for her, and he definitely wouldn't want to get rid of her like before. However, she soon lost sight of Si Dao.
So, Xiaobai hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of meat, grabbed a new roast chicken, ran out of the inn, and chased in the direction of Si Dao.
