Yanqiu handed over a ingot of silver: "shopkeeper, stay, ask for hot water, and give me some dishes."
The shopkeeper looked at Yanqiu and delayed to collect the silver: "girl, you are a foreigner. You'd better listen to my advice and hurry out of the city before it's dark. It's not peaceful here."
Yanqiu held his chin: "Oh? Not peaceful? Why not peaceful?"
There was a shopkeeper and a guy in the store. The old shopkeeper approached Yanqiu: "I don't know what's going on. Our daughter has been missing since a year ago. The older one was sixteen or seven years old and the younger one was twelve or thirteen years old. She disappeared silently at night."
"What's the matter? The government doesn't care?" Xiaoman is impatient and jumps at once. This is a world where Jianghu and the imperial court coexist. Xiaoman also subconsciously thought of the government.
The shopkeeper's face was bitter: "we are a small border town. The imperial court can't reach it. The government doesn't exist for a long time. The gate at the gate of the government office is broken."
Yanqiu pressed Xiaoman: "shopkeeper, you go on. Those girls disappeared? Later? No one came back?"
The old shopkeeper sighed: "it's just missing and can't be found again. So, everyone here has a girl now. Everyone is terrified, even if they don't know it one day."
Yanqiu narrowed her eyes: "it's late now. Even if we go out now, we'll sleep in the wilderness. We'll delay here all night. We'll go out of the city early tomorrow morning. Shopkeeper, thank you."
Yanqiu insisted on not listening to advice, and the old shopkeeper could only shake his head: "it's a pity."
What a pity, Yanqiu also knows what he means. It was a pity that she was stubborn and foresaw her future.
Xiaoman was younger after all. She grabbed Yanqiu's sleeve and said, "girl, we won't meet any monsters?"
"Playing tricks!" Yanqiu scolded, "I'm sure someone must be playing tricks behind his back. Even if there are monsters in the world, I must tear off a piece of his meat."
"Girl, why don't we leave at night? According to our skills, the wall can be trapped in us?"
"It's not urgent. Since you're here, you can explore this matter well." Yanqiu sat down at the table. "You sit first. I'm not in a hurry. What's your hurry?"
Xiaoman is bitter. The little bags on her head look weak. She hangs her head: "girl, I'm worried about something wrong with you? We don't know anything about here. In case someone really plots against us..."
Yanqiu has a headache. The little girl talks endlessly. She waved: "OK, you have a rest first, I'll think about it."
Yanqiu has a straight face. Xiaoman doesn't dare to say anything more. He can only lie down on the small bed.
Jiang Chan sat down opposite Yanqiu, beating the table with her fingers, obviously thinking about something.
Yanqiu was holding a tea cup. The tea was dense and couldn't see her face clearly: "sister, what do you think of this? Anyway, I don't believe in evil."
Jiang Chan: "I don't believe it either. I'm more inclined to practice evil skills, so I took so many young girls. This person must not stay. I think the girls in the city have almost caught the ground."
Yanqiu: "such people can't stay. Sister, what shall we do next? We don't know where the enemy is."
Jiang Chan: "there are no school-age girls in the city. You and Xiaoman are the best targets."
Yanqiu pinched his fist: "if it were a big devil, would those internal forces be cheaper for me?"
Jiang Chan: "let's talk about it then. I'll explore the news first. You should be alert at night."
Seeing Jiang Chan floating out, Yanqiu was not flustered at all. She lay on the big bed and fell asleep in a few minutes. She's just a bold artist. Besides, she can wake up immediately if she has a little trouble with her cultivation.
One night passed peacefully. In the morning, Yanqiu came downstairs with Xiaoman for dinner.
The old shopkeeper reminded Yanqiu again: "girl, add some dry food, and you can go quickly. We do..."
He didn't say the rest, but Yanqiu understood. She is not stubborn. She can still distinguish the kindness of others. After returning from the house, Yanqiu and Xiaoman went out of the city.
They did not go far, but settled down in the woods on the outskirts of the city. Yanqiu sits on the treetop with a single telescope in his hand. You can clearly see every move in the city here.
Jiang Chan stood beside her: "the city is very secretive about this matter, and I didn't find any valuable clues. But I heard another thing. Are you interested?"
Seeing the smile on the corner of Jiang Chan's mouth, Yanqiu's scalp was numb for no reason. She cleared her throat: "what's the matter?"
Jiang Chan snapped her fingers: "a few days before you came to Cloud City, Liu Suxin and others also came here."
Yanqiu knew clearly: "so Liu Suxin is missing?"
"Hmm! Yunyan is also missing. I just don't know where ye Hanshuang and song Lize have gone."
Yanqiu didn't care: "people want girls. Their two big men don't die so easily. But I'm really more and more interested in the person behind the scenes. What kind of existence do you think he is?"
They said one sentence at a time. When they saw a man suddenly passing by in the forest, Jiang Chan's eyes suddenly dignified a lot. She whispered, "follow him. This man is strange."
Yanqiu made a gesture to Xiaoman on the opposite tree, and he followed the man quietly.
Yanqiu is jumping in the forest, and its posture is light like a breeze. She also saw the whole picture of the man. It looked ordinary and nothing remarkable.
"Elder sister, is there anything unusual about this man? His martial arts look like foreign Kung Fu. It's nothing strange."
Jiang Chan: "all the people living in Cloud City are ordinary people. It's not surprising that there is a kung fu master in such a place. Look at the burden he carries. It's all dry food. Where is he going to send so much dry food?"
Yanqiu also understood: "he shouldn't have sent it to the behind the scenes envoy? But it's not as good as it? A big devil eats dry food every day? It's too shabby, isn't it?"
Jiang Chan: "I prefer to buy this for those girls. Follow up and see what's going on."
Yanqiu followed the man all the way. The man walked more and more sideways with a burden. The road was also very winding and gradually led to the mountains outside the city.
When passing through a valley, Jiang Chan suddenly motioned Yanqiu to come: "see? The fresh body looks like it has been drained of blood. The time of death should be in recent days."
