Regarding the current situation of being "recognized" by the townspeople, Yu Xing had certain expectations, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Since they were "acquaintances", it would be a shame not to chat. He sat down with a calm mind and turned his head to look at the other three people.
The stall owner said: "Are these your friends? Let's invite them together! Everyone, sit down."
Just as Yan Li was about to refuse, he heard Yu Xing's callous words: "No. They just came to me to ask for directions, but I haven't been back for a long time and don't know where the pharmacy is."
Zhang Yu: "..." Ah, don't you even want me to get a piece of it?
In fact, Yu Xing's mentality is easy to understand. He was chatting with the stall owner at the noodle stall. There was no need for others to accompany him. It was best to go to the drugstore to find someone.
But if you are more thoughtful, you can also understand that Yu Xing does not intend to share the information implicated by his identity with them.
...a bit stingy.
Upon hearing that they were just passers-by, the stall owner was not so enthusiastic towards the three of them: "That's right, I thought they were the new friends you made outside. You have been introverted since you were a child."
Then he opened his eyes wide and said in confusion: "Why are you three still standing here? I'm reminiscing with my nephew. You can either order a bowl of noodles, or you can stop standing here and delaying my work."
Yan Li: "Let's go now."
[Hahaha, I’m disgusted.]
[6. Although I don’t know Xing, he can’t be introverted at all]
[So what do you mean, this time Nanshui Town happens to be the hometown of Xing’s character? Then doesn’t he have a home field advantage?]
[Yes, this time it’s a points system. Isn’t this unfair to others?]
[Damn it, some people are crazy. Do you remember where you are? This is not a real game. Are you talking about fairness?]
[Isn’t it unfair to have the same scoring system for despair level and struggle level? Some people think that]
[Don't be ridiculous, it's just a background story. Let's not mention that Xing has never been here before. Even for this character, he hasn't been home for "years". It's unfair]
Not all the deducers watching the live broadcast are sober. Some people just watched the live broadcast today and will die in the game tomorrow.
The performers are usually frightened, but they become even more aggressive when watching the live broadcast, and they are always prone to quarrels.
The people at the scene did not think about fairness. Hua Subai chuckled: "Then don't delay others' reminiscing about the past. Anyway, we have found the place, let's go."
Zhang Yu: "That..."
Hua Subai hugged Zhang Yu's shoulders and whispered: "Your captain has entrusted you to me. Don't worry, follow me. I won't eat you."
Zhang Yu: "...Oh." Which of your eyes saw the word "entrust"?
Everyone had their own concerns, but the three of them quickly left the noodle stall and headed straight to the pharmacy.
By this time, the deducers had basically dispersed throughout the town, and the three of them didn't meet any acquaintances on the way.
"So, fortunately, in this world, he is a person from Nanshui Town." Yan Li analyzed as he walked, "Even if he doesn't know more than us, having the status of a 'local' may make things a lot easier."
"This is the truth..." Hua Subai protracted, "But his identity should be a normal local of Nanshui Town. Do you think Nanshui Town is normal now?"
Although Zhang Yu knew it was abnormal, he just wanted to talk back: "It looks quite normal."
"You kid." Hua Subai smiled and glanced at the rebellious boy, "Anyway, the danger in the town is unknown, so we don't expect Xing to do anything."
Yan Li: "But, I have a plan——"
"Don't forget, you and I both came together forcefully." Hua Subai pointed directly, "He is always unhappy when I follow you, not to mention that you are here to test his current strength?"
"You don't think he is your surviving member, do you? You can still command? This is our broken captain~"
Zhang Yu turned his head and asked, "Who are you with?" Who are you calling yourself "We Broken Mirror"?
Yan Li's purpose was made clear, and he was not annoyed at all. Instead, he took advantage of the opportunity: "You said you are a newbie, but you look like you have a lot of experience."
Hua Mengxin waved her hands and said: "My mouth is on my face, you care about me."
"Ha." Yan Li was a little funny. He really thought this boss Hua was very interesting.
There was a drug store right in front of him. He ended the topic and went into the store to find out the information from the owner.
However, the scene in the drugstore was a bit unexpected.
The whole style of Nanshui Town is very nostalgic, the buildings are not high, the wires are messy and exposed to the air, the shops on the streets are dark in color, the plaques of the drugstore are a little faded, and the display cabinets in the store can be seen through the glass door.
A drugstore doctor in a white coat stood behind the counter, frowning and lowering his head to write something. The other two doctors were busy working on the chairs installed in the store.
The long rows of seats were filled with people, all of whom seemed to be waiting.
"Is someone suffering from frostbite again?" Hearing footsteps coming from the door of the store, the doctor who was writing didn't even raise his head, "Go sit over there and wait for a while."
Zhang Yu took a look and saw that those waiting were all wearing thick clothes and wrapped themselves into a ball.
The person who was being examined by the doctor took off his clothes in different places, and at a glance, they all showed frostbite.
After the wound is seen by the doctor, the doctor there will come to the counter, tell the white coat at the counter the medicine to be prescribed to the patient, then write down the prescription and record, and then sell the medicine.
Maybe you think you don’t need to go to the hospital for a minor injury like this? So medical treatment is done directly at the pharmacy.
Zhang Yu didn't know if this was the tradition of Nanshui Town. In short, just looking at this scene made him feel that Nanshui Town was relatively backward, at least incompatible with most parts of the world.
"I'm not here to buy medicine, I just want to inquire about someone." Yan Li stepped forward and said to the man in the white coat behind the counter, "Is there a person dressed as a female student in blue clothes and black skirt who has been here recently?
Got the medicine?"
The man in the white coat paused for a moment, then finally raised his head and glanced at them.
Seeing the three of them dressed like foreigners, the doctor's expression became a little impatient, and he said politely and restrainedly: "What do you want to do? I will not reveal the privacy of customers."
"Oh, that girl is our tour guide. Just because of family reasons, we agreed to meet after entering the town. But we didn't expect that the signal in the town was too poor and we couldn't contact her." Yan Li replied calmly,
The tone is hard to resist.
Seeing that the doctor was silent, he added: "Although I don't want to disturb the tour guide at this time, I think that after taking the job, you should be responsible. This is the spirit of the contract. Even if the tour guide is not free to take the tour group now, he should come early
You should introduce us to a new tour guide. Do you think so?"
The doctor was a little embarrassed: "That's what happened, but, but we have regulations that don't allow anyone to share customer information casually. What's more, you can't prove that what you said is true, just in case..."
"If that's the case, we can only leave the town first and then file a complaint." A flash of thinking flashed through Yan Li's eyes, and his expression turned cold, "If we continue to stay here to participate in the Ruixue Festival, we will not even be held accountable.
I don’t know, some people will definitely ask us, ‘Why didn’t we tell you earlier?’, and then there will be a lot of disputes again.”
Hua Subai sighed: "I said it was unreliable. When I got in the car and heard the driver say that the tour guide didn't come, I knew there must be something wrong with this trip. It's really annoying to meet such an irresponsible tour guide."
The two companions were already singing along, and Zhang Yu decided to let himself be the worst person. He rolled his eyes and said in a very irritated tone: "Go back to them to refund the money, and I will give this town a bad review. Really
It’s unpleasant.”
"Hey!" The doctor suddenly panicked. He looked at the patients who were still queuing up for examination, and then looked at the three tourists who had never seen him in the town, and immediately compromised, "You are talking about Gao Yiling! She did
Tour guides are quite well known here."
"Um, but don't be angry, her father just passed away two days ago..." the doctor whispered, "She was frozen to death. She came to our place to see her before she was alive. It wasn't a big deal at the time, and it didn't matter after she was taken back."
You know what happened, he froze to death within two days."
"But the little girl Gao Yiling may not be able to accept it. She always tells others that her father is not dead, but is just sick at home, and she has to take care of her father... At that time, her next door neighbor couldn't stand it and wanted to take his father out.
There was a funeral, but I couldn't get the body out of her hands."
"Hey... when you go to find her, don't irritate her. It's not easy for a little girl."
"No, I'll write you her address. Remember to talk to her when we meet."
A few minutes later, he walked out of the pharmacy with the guide's exact address, and the three of them looked at each other.
There is something strange about the death of the guide's father.
Maybe it's the key to breaking this illusion of peace.
