After The Unsuccessful Search

"Fresh steamed buns!"

"Look at this freshly baked porcelain bowl, it is good and cheap!"

The bazaar street is full of people, and it looks quite lively.

"There are still a lot of people in Ganchang Village."

Lin Tianlu, carrying his suitcase, looked at the crowds on the street with interest.

Different from the environment in Changling County, this Ganchang Village looks a little bit desolate. You can get a glimpse of the road facilities. You can’t see many country gentlemen wearing silk and satin. The breath is stronger.

"After all, Ganchang Village is a remote village and town, and it must not be as prosperous as Changling County."

Hua Shuya just bought two hot sesame cakes, and delivered one of them. Come over: "senior, eat first."

"Thanks."

Lin Tianlu laughed and took a bite of the biscuits.

Feel the crispy and delicious taste of this pie, I can’t help but slightly nodded.

This is indeed the flavor.

The flavor of roadside stalls that I used to eat when I was young.

While eating an afternoon snack, he took Hua Shuya and wandered around the market at will.

There are about two or three days away from the destination He'an Village. It’s okay to take a break in Ganchang Village and buy some souvenirs.

Besides, after all, I have to find a place for Hua Shuya to rest.

Although she herself strongly refused, saying that she had arrived in the Azure Spirit Realm world, it didn't hurt to sleep for a few days.

But Lin Tianlu was naturally impossible to let this big lady of the yellow flower sleep in the open air, stay up all night, and find a hotel to rest for a night. There is no time to delay.

"Girl, you don’t seem to be a local, do you want to buy a string of beads for warding off evil spirits?"

A middle-aged woman suddenly rushed out of the street and said hurriedly: "This The beads are very cheap, and only three cents are enough."

"This..."

Hua Shuya looked slightly stunned, didn't expect this Ganchang villager to do business Will be so eager.

I just took a look at the wooden beads in this woman's hand, the workmanship is indeed pretty good.

She was about to speak, but Lin Tianlu on the side quickly took the wooden beads with a smile: "This lady, obviously has such a good craftsmanship, why would he go to the street to sell these evil spirit beads?

In my hometown, these kinds of evil monsters seem to be rumors that should not be true. Not many people will take these rumors seriously."

But this The woman was frowned and looked at all around. Then she whispered: "Mr. I said, our village is a little weird."

Lin Tianlu brows slightly raise: "Where is it weird?"

"The two of you, don't spread it casually. This place is the most taboo about these things." The expression on the middle-aged woman's face was slightly heavy: "I heard that several families died tragically in their homes. It’s not clear. Especially in recent days, the slave family also heard that several arresters from other towns and counties were working with martial arts people to help investigate the case...

But in the end, they all disappeared. Without a trace, you don’t see anyone or a corpse if you live!"

Another murder?

Lin Tianlu feels a little astonished.

But my heart soon calmed down.

This is really no surprise. After all, the population of villages and towns is less than tens of thousands, and it is normal for a few homicides to occur every period of time. But the death of these people... it sounds strange indeed.

"Don't the government here say anything?"

"I don't know what decision the government has made, but it is said that there are evil tigers running around, and now they have been forcibly beaten away." Middle-aged The woman shook the head: "But for such a perfunctory answer, the villagers naturally know that it is a lie. Even more how those martial arts people come in an endless stream. Obviously this matter has not been resolved.

As for the slave family... …Because there are three children to be raised in the family, we made some safety-preserving beads and sold them on the street according to ancestral skills."

Hua Shuya hearing this by the side quickly took out dozens of dollars. Carefully put it in her hands: "Madam, we bought these beads. If you encounter danger in the future, remember to stay away."

The woman suddenly complexion greatly changed: "This, this is too much money, slave I can’t accept it!"

"It’s okay, this girl’s kindness, and the lady accepts it." Lin Tianlu gently said from the side: "The extra money will be used to buy some meat for the children. Relieve greed."

The middle-aged woman was grateful and bowed again and again to thank her.

Until she watched the woman's back leaping away in joy, Hua Shuya tightened her long sword tightly, with a slightly solemn expression.

"Senior, are there really ghosts entrenched in this place?"

"has several points of possibility."

Lin Tianlu chuckled lightly: "Let's find a home first Let’s take a rest at the hotel, and just inquire about the news."

......

The night is approaching.

Lin Tianlu sits alone in a restaurant, eating hot dishes at will.

This place is the most prosperous part of Ganchang Village at night, and this restaurant has a good reputation and business is booming.

As for why Hua Shuya is not there now, there are naturally some reasons.

Because

A brothel happened to be built directly opposite this restaurant.

The sound of piano music continued to be heard from the attic, and the strands of rouge and dark fragrance drifted in the wind, which was quite tempting.

Of course, this brothel is not what modern people think. From time to time, there will be some depressive voices, and it is rare to do those licentious things. Most of the women in this brothel are quite literary and knowledgeable. They are all familiar with piano, chess, calligraphy, and calligraphy. It can be said that many literati and inkmen often visit.

It is also commonly known as a busking but not selling oneself.

But...

Brothel is still brothel after all.

Although Lin Tianlu has no taboos about these things, after all, the innocent girl Hua Shuya can't come and wander around here, so as not to accidentally tarnish the woman's reputation, she will be more embarrassed, so she simply let her stay temporarily Waiting in the hotel.

"This brothel is indeed very business savvy."

Lin Tianlu sipped the sake and secretly laughed.

The brothel is specially opened in front of the restaurant. Isn't this an obvious temptation for alcoholics to come and patronize?

Now look at the expressions on the faces of all around these alcoholics, even if they pretend to be nonchalant, but many people's eyes are sneaking into the brothel pavilion, as if wishing Saw one or two lithe and graceful women.

They are all old-fashioned.

"Mr. Good foresight!"

The young waiter who happened to be passing by suddenly smiled: "Our Pingxi Building, we happen to have some cooperation with Quanyongfang on the opposite side. The two sides are mutually beneficial. Win-win, do this big business together!"

Lin Tianlu lightly said with a smile: "There are indeed some business ways. However, there are some things I want to ask."

"Eh! Sir, I know everything about the large and small in Ganchang Village!"

"Is there any weird infiltration in Ganchang Village during this period of time?"

p>

"..."

The smile on waiter's face suddenly froze, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Chapter Sixty-seventh Village Secrets

Seeing his sudden change in expression, Lin Tianlu had expected it a long time ago, and took out some money from his sleeves and moved it to the table without a trace. Horn.

When waiter saw this, his eyes lit up, he sneered and accepted the money: "Many thanks, man! Many thanks, man!"

Soon he looked at all around and quickly approached. Body:

"Master, where did you hear this?"

Lin Tianlu rubbed his chin: "Today I just arrived in Ganchang Village not long ago. I occasionally heard some vendors talking in private on the street. But looking at your reaction just now, is it possible that this matter is taboo and not allowed to spread at will?"

"Not really, it's just... too weird."

The waiter's face was a little embarrassing: "After all, many lives are involved, and people in villages and towns are reluctant to talk. At most, they will tell the foreigners who have just arrived, so that they don't walk around randomly at night. "

He said very solemnly: "Master, since we have collected the money, I have to remind my husband.

The local area is really not peaceful recently, wait a moment. After eating, remember to go back to rest early and don’t go to uninhabited places. Even if someone is knocking on the door in the hotel room, remember not to open the door at will."

"If you open the door, you will How?"

"How about it, let’s not quite clear. I just listened to some neighbours who said... I was lost and mad, my face turned pale, and my body was thin. A few days later He died insanely at home."

Speaking of this, the waiter couldn't help but slapped his tongue: "And I heard that the state of death was quite miserable, and the floor was full of filthy muddy water."

"I heard that a lot of government arrests and martial arts people came to help?"

"All disappeared without a trace." Waiter shook the head, his face turned pale.

But he quickly added: "But I heard that at three o'clock last night, someone saw a missing warrior on the street. He was holding a machete in his hand, staggering. Wandering on the street. Because the sound of the weapon mopping the floor was a bit harsh, it was discovered by someone."

Lin Tianlu said softly: "Isn't there any accident with those martial artists?"

"I don't know, maybe it's just a fabricated rumor."

The waiter shook his head repeatedly: "Just be careful not to go out, sir, stay in the hotel at ease and don't walk around at night, it should be safe. No worries."

"Good--"

Bang!

Suddenly, there was a muffled noise, which caused the two of them to look out of the window.

I saw a man dressed as a scholar in front of Brothel's door seemed to be thrown violently, and he rolled a few times on the ground in a very embarrassing manner.

"Hurry up and get us away!"

The two brawny man face looks sinister dressed up in a frightened voice threatened him and hit him with a long stick a few times. Then coldly snorted turned and returned to the hospital.

"This is..."

"Pitiful person without money."

The waiter whispered: "Since the brothel opened, people will be Brothel was forcibly thrown out. They are basically people who have used up their pocket money, but are still stubbornly staying in the brothel."

He sneered again: "But there are also men who have been moved by the truth. I want to redeem the girls in the brothel. Although they have good ambitions, it's a pity that most of them have no money. They run into cold shoulder again and again, just like the poor scholar outside, they can only be beaten and thrown out by the fat."

"It's pitiful."

Lin Tianlu slightly said curiously: "But the woman in this brothel is really so attractive, can she attract so many people?"

He has traveled through this world, and indeed he hasn't come into contact with the brothel and his ilk. Naturally, he doesn't know the level of it.

"This springy building is really good."

This waiter showed a bit of admiration: "I am a poor person, naturally, I don't have any extra money to enter the brothel, just normally help. Tea and water, I caught a few occasional glances. Those women sitting on the stage playing the piano and flute have skins white and tender like tofu...

Although the looks can't be considered so beautiful, but this spring is springing up Lou does have a wonderful charm, which can always make people linger and look back."

Here, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his tone was a little high.

"But I heard that there is a peerless beauty in the Quanyong Building, who is extremely beautiful and alluring. Even the Master County Magistrate is attracted by his reputation and frequents it. It's a pity that the peerless beauty has always I haven't shown up, and it seems that no one can see it today."

Lin Tianlu's expression was strange.

"County Magistrate, drill into this brothel?"

"Rumors, hahaha...just rumors." The waiter hurriedly made a round and laughed embarrassingly.

"That is indeed some doorway."

Lin Tianlu chuckled twice.

But at this moment, there was a loud noise behind the restaurant.

"We're going to make a good break tonight, what terrifying is there!"

"A real man is not afraid of these rumors, how can it be terrified and terrified by this little thing? over-cautious?!"

Lin Tianlu turned his head and glanced, it seemed that some martial artists dressed as warriors were arguing in the store. Listening to what they said happened to be the murder case in Ganchang Village.

The waiter immediately changed his face, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Haihan, let's persuade them first."

"Go."

Lin Tianlu Naturally, this waiter is not embarrassed, and the things that should be asked are almost the same.
