Chapter 282: The New Merchant
Strange to say, this black shadow just kept standing by her bedside and staring at her, but there was no other movement, Yezhou was puzzled, and even doubted whether the person had left?
After a while, Yezhou couldn't help but turn over, intending to open a crack to see the other party's appearance, but she only moved a moment, and the black shadow disappeared instantly, as if she was afraid of being noticed by her.
Yezhou opened his eyes, and his heart became more and more puzzled, who was that black shadow? It was coming for her? But the other party's breath did not carry any killing intent, it should not be the enemy.
The shadow never reappeared after leaving, and the night boat quickly fell asleep, only to wake up slowly until dawn the next day.
Yin Huaishu was no longer in the yard, presumably he was walking into the forest with someone, Yezhou changed his clothes and was about to go around the street, but then he saw a few children not far ahead.
The children were gathering around a person, and it seemed like something new.
Nightboat stepped forward to investigate, and found a young man half-crouched in front of the children, the man was tall, with a mask on his face, but his eyes were very kind.
The young man noticed Yezhou's gaze, got up and said with a smile: "Hello, I am a merchant from outside, and I plan to come to this city to do business and settle down, my name is Kite." β
Yezhou was stunned for a moment, the other party's voice was a little hoarse and harsh, as if her throat was injured, she thought that the other party was a gentle person, and her voice should be more beautiful, but now it was a little unexpected.
"My name is Nightboat. β
"Night Maiden, are you a citizen of this city? I have just arrived here, and I am not familiar with this place, can you please take me around?"
The kite looked familiar and didn't feel strange at all, Yezhou shook his head and replied, "I've just arrived here, and if you want to know about this place, you will probably have to wait until evening, when someone will show you around." β
"But it's only morning, if the night girl is okay, can you accompany me to take a look around?"
Yezhou tilted her head, she was going to investigate around anyway, and it didn't matter if she brought this person, so she nodded in agreement: "Yes." β
"The Night Maiden is so kind-hearted. The kite smiled, took out a hairpin from her arms and handed it to her, and said: "I am in the jewelry business, by the way to sell some gadgets, this hairpin will be given to you as a gift, the gift is meager and please don't dislike the girl." β
Yezhou took the hairpin, although the style was plain, but she recognized the jade on it, this quality of jade is rare even in the inner city, the value is extremely high, this hairpin must be expensive.
And this kite is dressed in an ordinary way and doesn't look like a rich family, how can he sell such precious jewelry?
"Why would you want to come to Azuchi-no-Fang to do business? There is very little contact with the outside world, and you are afraid that you will not make any money doing business here, let alone a jewelry business. "Night Boat Road.
"To tell you the truth, although I am a businessman, I still want to come out to practice, I heard that the land is remote and dangerous, and it is an excellent location for training, so I will come. The kite replied.
Yezhou raised his eyebrows: "It turns out that you came out to experience life? So you are a rich kid?"
"It's not a rich kid, but the ancestors are all in business, and some ancestral property is just that. β
No wonder...... He didn't look like a merchant, and no merchant would be stupid enough to settle in such a place.
"Why are you wearing a mask?"
Kite chuckled: "My face was burned by the fire when I was a child, leaving a scar, and I wore a mask since I was a child. β
"yes, if you want to restore your appearance, maybe I can help you, I'm a pharmacist, I should be able to fix your scars. β
The kite shook his head and refused: "No need, this scar has been with me for many years, I have long been used to it, it doesn't matter if it is cured or not, and this is also a trace of my past, which has a special meaning." β
Nightboat blinked, showing a hint of interest in the man.
After that, Yezhou took the kite to take the whole place of Antu, except for some of the people who went to the forest to kill the demons, and the remaining part was busy with their own affairs like ordinary people, and Yezhou carefully looked at the expressions of these people along the way, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Seeing that he couldn't see anything for a while, Yezhou turned back, looked at the kite and asked, "Since you have decided to settle here, can you find a place to live?"
The kite nodded: "Found it, I have already bought a small yard not far ahead, although it is not big, but it is enough for me to live alone." β
Ye Zhou looked in the direction he was pointing, and raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, isn't this near Yin Huaishu's house?
"Night Maiden, I only know you in this city, can I come to you if I want to talk to someone in the future?" asked the kite.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you are quiet. β
"That's great, in fact, this is my first time going far away, and I can't help but worry, you are the first person I know here, and I am much more relieved to be able to associate with you. β
Listening to the kite's cheerful tone, Yezhou raised his eyebrows and smiled, this person looked a little naΓ―ve, presumably a person of pure character.
"I've already taken you to the end of the land, if there is nothing else, I'll go first, and come back to me when you have something urgent. "Night Boat Road.
"Okay, then I'll come to you personally to thank you when I'm settled. β
Yezhou nodded, and then turned around and returned to Yin Huaishu's residence, the kite stood in place and quietly looked at the other party's distant back, and only returned to his courtyard after being completely invisible.
He took off the mask on his face, revealing Qi Ran's appearance.
This courtyard was just bought by him, there was nothing in it, it was empty and there was no human smell, Qi Ran felt lonely, he didn't plan to leave, but Yezhou kept himself locked up and didn't see anyone, he was worried that if he kept appearing in front of Yezhou, it would make the other party even more annoying, so he planned to go out and avoid it for a few days.
But who knew that when he came back, he found that the night boat was gone, and he inquired for a long time before he learned that the night boat had come to the land of peace, which is not difficult to guess, after all, he told the night boat Yin Huaishu was here, and the other party was curious, and he would definitely come over to take a look.
In addition, Yin Huaishu's appearance is seven or eight points similar to that of Lu Dui, but I am afraid that Yezhou will not return to the inner city for a while.
He was relieved and reluctant, so he had to follow him secretly, and he was worried that Yezhou would flee when he saw him appear, so he pretended to be a merchant and specially put on a mask.
As long as you can stay by Nightboat's side, it doesn't matter if you show up as a stranger.
"But this Yin Huaishu is indeed a troublesome existence. Qi Ran frowned, he had inquired about Yin Huaishu early in the morning, and he also knew why the other party was assigned to this place as a princess.
It was precisely because he knew that he understood that this Yin Huaishu was definitely an extremely dangerous person, and Yezhou had to guard against it by her side.
