Chapter 27

In port Toulon, the grimace shopkeeper is the best medicine man Joe knows.

If it wasn't for the terrifying face, he would have been qualified to be one of several masters in port TURUN.

In potions, and some quirky abilities, Joe absolutely believed in the grimace manager's judgment.

He said the enchanting potion, that must be the enchanting potion.

He said that the extraordinary secret arts, it must be extraordinary secret arts.

"What are they doing with these girls?" Joe leaned against the counter, a little uneasy, and tapped his finger on a dirty glass jar in front of him.

In the light yellow liquor, a black-and-white ring stripe is all over the body. It is two feet long. The venomous snake with the thickness of its little finger suddenly twitches. It can be seen that it opens its mouth and sprays a ray of yellow venom on its fangs. The color of the liquor becomes darker.

Joe was so scared that he shivered all over and quickly pulled his hand back. Subconsciously, he was away from the counter.

"Alive?" Joe almost didn't yell.

"It's really rare. Of course, all the medicinal liquor I made by secret method are made from living things." The face shopkeeper took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on his face: "well, this jar of three snake wine will be dead in half a year."

Joe's face twitched and remained silent for a long time.

So, the business of your drugstore has been half dead?

"What are they doing with so many girls?" The grimace shopkeeper pulled out a stool from the counter, sat on the stool, clubbed his elbows on the counter, held his chin in his palm, and frowned and pondered.

"There is no doubt that in the two days after the mid autumn night, the whole port of Tulun is in chaos. As long as those who have some means want to take the opportunity to do something against the law and discipline, it is the easiest opportunity to fish in troubled waters."

The face shopkeeper took out a large blue and white porcelain bowl from the drawer of the counter. A strong flavor came to my nose. In the big bowl, ten golden headed green body centipedes with the thickness of small fingers were steeped in brine.

"I didn't expect you would come today. You did less." The face shopkeeper pushed the big porcelain bowl forward gently.

With a dry cough, Joe pulled a stool from one side and sat opposite the grimace shopkeeper.

"I'm afraid of living, but this kind of food is good, you know, I've always liked it. It's delicious, really. " Qiao Gan smiles, trying to resolve his embarrassment that he was scared by the raw materials for brewing wine.

Two people also do not need tableware, direct start, grab the big centipede which is soaked in the bowl, skilfully peels off the shell, reveals the white tender meat inside, and swallows happily.

A centipede entered his abdomen, and a warm air was slowly released. Joe felt warm all over, and a thin layer of sweat was exuded from his forehead.

"Eh?" Laplaci's sharp and thin voice sounded in Joe's mind: "you've eaten the secret food technique of drug Gu more than once? No wonder your body was hurt badly, and it's too much the day after tomorrow. "

"You're so fat and scarlet. You've done too much."

Joe didn't pay attention to laplaci, and now he doesn't have time to.

"Night snack" made by grimace shopkeeper is extremely terrible, but extremely delicious, and has a strong tonic effect on the body.

Six years ago, just met the grimace shopkeeper, Joe was cheated into eating his first secret "snack". Then he wanted to quit and could not. He became a loyal fan of the "dark food" of the grimace shopkeeper.

"Uncle, you go on. I come to you just to ask for your help." Joe Malik's hand slipped up a large centipede, put out his tongue, licked the delicious juice on the shell.

"Take these girls away." The face shopkeeper squinted and said, "it won't be ordinary human trafficking. The cost is too high, the price is too high. The secret medicine and secret arts that can make me careless are used to abduct a few girls from ordinary families? "

"Jack, Jerry and Bourne have a lot of money." Joe added, "what if it's kidnapping?"

"Well, if you take Jack and them, why do you have to deal with some little girls?" The face shopkeeper swallowed three large centipedes in succession: "so, it's not ordinary kidnapping, it's not ordinary kidnapping. So, what's the use of these little girls? "

There was a flash of light in Joe's mind, and he quickly told of the two strange shadows he met on the night of mid autumn.

The white fog, the flurry of the flute, the fierce and evil mice and moths.

"Have you killed the evil spirit?" The face shopkeeper widened his eyes, his face twitched violently, and looked at Joe with great consternation: "no, you didn't kill him completely. He destroyed his extraordinary tools and escaped with the help of the power of the spirit of corrosion."

"You destroyed his body, but not his soul."

In the eyes of the grimace shopkeeper, there was a chill that made Joe feel uncomfortable. He took a fist sized copper bell out of the drawer of the counter and gave it a hard shake.

In the "Ding Ding" sound, there was a sound from the second floor of the drugstore. After a while, the sound of stairs sounded. Two teenagers, who looked only thirteen or four years old, with crooked melons and rotten dates, rubbed their eyes and staggered out of a small door in the corner of the medicine cabinet."Teacher." The two teenagers respectfully saluted the grimace shopkeeper.

"Go and ask those kids if they have found any eyesore these two days." The face shopkeeper pushed the big bowl in front of Joe, and there was still a big centipede in the bowl.

Looking at the two teenagers, he said in a deep voice: "some people who seem to feel cold in their hearts, and Highlanders, highlanders who don't look like good people, and all people who act suspiciously. Or, who has heard something about it, ten golden marks, who can provide useful information, ten golden marks. "

The two teenagers suddenly got up, they saluted the grimace shopkeeper, and then quickly ran back to the yard.

"There's a curfew these days. Be careful on the way." The face shopkeeper murmured in a low voice: "don't be black Well, don't get caught. "

A "black dog" was about to exit. The grimace shopkeeper looked at Joe in a black police uniform, and then he forcibly swallowed the slanderous words back.

Qiao Gan gave a smile and waved his hand in a dignified manner: "if you are caught by someone carelessly, say that you are going out to do business under the order of the special investigation team of the mid autumn massacre. If they don't believe me, let them come to me. "

Two teenagers showed their teeth and grinned. One said in a low voice: "master Qiao, if we are caught, we will not have the face to see you and the teacher."

In the laughter, two teenagers scurry into the backyard, and then came the slight sound of the manhole cover being opened.

Joe shrugged his shoulders and made a face.

This is the main reason why he came to see the grimace shopkeeper in the middle of the night. On the way, he accidentally completed a deal with laplaci and got a good prescription. It was just a matter of convenience for him to ask the grimace shopkeeper to help identify it.

Joe knew that the grimace shopkeeper had been secretly adopting orphans long before he knew him.

The younger are three or four, the older are seven or eight, or even eleven or twelve.

These children, unfortunately orphaned for various reasons, are destined to sink into the mud and become "prey" for others to abuse.

The face shopkeeper gave them a hand when they were on the verge of extinction.

They were fed, clothed, and even taught to read, read and count. When they are older and have a little self-protection ability, the grimace shopkeeper will let them support themselves.

I went to the restaurant to wash dishes, I went to the chariot and horse shop to clean the horses and carriages, to help people repair the roofs and paint the external walls, to help people repair the grass, to take care of gardening, and even more girls to help others.

Because of the relationship between their age and their own skills, these little guys are not engaged in any brilliant work. But at least they can support themselves, and as long as they work hard, they have a chance to climb up.

Grimace shopkeeper, let these little guys, avoid the tragic fate of becoming a firefly, pickpocket, gang thug.

These little guys, the face of the shopkeeper as their own father, their incomparable respect.

These little guys call themselves sparrow gang.

They are scattered in every corner of port Tulun, in all walks of life. They made friends and exchanged information. They formed a large network, which almost covered the whole port of Tulun.

Apart from the grimace shopkeeper and his children, except for Joe, the whole port of Toulon, even the most powerful and most powerful local snakes, no one knows. There is such a loose but absolutely well-informed network hidden in the dark of port Tulun.

"What did you think of just now?" Joe looked at the grimace shopkeeper curiously.

The grimace shopkeeper stood up. He took out a small iron pan, added a few pieces of carbon into the small carbon stove, put the small iron pot on the small carbon stove, and then added half a pot of oil in the iron pot.

Opening a drawer at the bottom of the medicine cabinet, the grimace shopkeeper took out a large hunting spider with patterns about the size of a net pocket and fist.

After a while, accompanied by the subtle oil explosion, a strong, very, and extremely strange attraction made Joe's mouth full of saliva filled the whole pharmacy.

When the first big fried spider came out of the pot, the grimace shopkeeper muttered, "the worst thing I can think of is that these girls are sacrificed to the spirit of corrosion."

"I hope they didn't collect enough sacrifices. I hope they don't have time to hold the ceremony." The face shopkeeper murmured: "I'm good at potions. I've only heard of some taboos."

"In short, it's not good." The face shopkeeper shook his head and said, "it's not good. Not very good. "

"If there's something wrong with little Mary and them, Joe, figure out what to do with it." "The secret medicine has timeliness, which can last for about seven to ten days, and the power of that secret skill will also be weakened."

"Jack and they, sooner or later, will remember that their daughter is missing."

"What those people want to fight for is just a few days. I'm afraid that by the time Jack and they think of their daughter missing, these guys will have done everything. "

"When it's morning, I'll ask people to make a secret inquiry to see if the same thing happens in yaolu street and the surrounding streets." Joe put the last centipede from the bowl into his mouth and took a small plate of big, fried, squeaky spiders.Enjoying the terrible food, the night passed quickly.

Joe's breakfast is a bowl of noodles with scallion oil cooked by the grimace shopkeeper.

After breakfast, he found a place to take a nap. Before noon, news came back from the sparrow gang.
