If you want to go to Shangsha Village, you must first pass through Tianshui Town.
Under the rays of the morning sun, three young men wearing the same gold brocade robes greeted us at the east gate of the town.
They were Yi Wen, the two brothers Yi Wu and Gu Yuan who had traveled all night.
What they were wearing were casual clothes that Yi Wen specially purchased in Scarlet Flame City. The three of them went out to do external tasks and did not want to wear the sect's clothes, so they only hung a sect's logo on their waists.
Even after entering the small town, the three people took away this badge.
As soon as he arrived in the town, Yi Wu couldn't wait to tell Yi Wen and Gu Yuan about the last time he passed by Tianshui Town.
Not long after the three of them walked on the street of the town, Yi Wu pointed to a restaurant in front of him and said to Yi Wen and Gu Yuan enthusiastically.
"It's the one in front - Fuxing Building."
"You must try their eight delicacies and steamed yellow croaker."
"The last time I came to Tianshui Town, I ate at Fuxinglou."
"That taste..."
"Tsk tsk..."
Seeing the endless aftertaste on Yi Wu's face, Yi Wen and Gu Yuan couldn't help but smile at each other.
A delicacy that can make Yi Wudu, the most picky among the three, praise it must have its own uniqueness.
The three of them traveled all night and happened to be hungry.
Yi Wen then suggested that he go directly to this Fuxing Restaurant to taste the delicious food Yi Wu said.
The three of them went straight to Fuxing Tower.
It's morning now, and all kinds of convenient and quick breakfasts are sold at the entrance of Fuxinglou store.
People like Gu Yuan and the others who came to have a big meal early in the morning were obviously the only ones.
After the waiter at Fuxinglou skillfully announced the names of the dishes, the three of them chose seven dishes, four hot and three cold. Two of the hot dishes were the eight delicacies and steamed yellow croaker that Yi Wu highly recommended.
Just when he was hungry, Yi Wen simply asked for some more big white steamed buns, and then asked the waiter to go down and make arrangements.
It happened that there were not many people coming in to eat in the morning, so the restaurant's chef quickly brought out the dishes Gu Yuan and the others ordered.
The table was full of delicious food, and the three people, who were already hungry, immediately picked up their bowls and chopsticks and ate happily.
After just a few bites of the meal, the three of them suddenly heard a panic and commotion outside the restaurant.
The three of them were in the lobby of the restaurant. When they heard the sound and looked back, they saw the people queuing up to buy breakfast outside the restaurant being knocked around.
Before the three of them could figure out what was going on, a panicked little girl rushed into the restaurant.
Xu was so panicked that he tripped over the table leg without paying attention.
The little girl stumbled and bumped into Gu Yuan's table.
"Hey, where did you come from, little girl, why did you come to our Fuxing Building to cause trouble!"
The table for three people was bumped by the little girl. The bowls, chopsticks and plates on the table hit the floor, and many things were thrown.
This made the waiter who was watching the excitement very anxious. He grabbed the little girl's wrist and complained all over, insisting that the little girl pay for the compensation.
"Brother, I beg you to be kind and let me go.
Someone was chasing me from behind, and I was running in a hurry and there was nothing I could do."
"These gangsters are totally unreasonable. They want to sell me to Yicui House."
"They are about to catch up, just be okay..."
The little girl cried so hard that she begged the waiter for forgiveness and kept looking outside the restaurant, looking very nervous.
The little girl looked very pitiful.
The waiter also felt a little sympathetic.
I just saw that the dishes on the table that had just been served were all smashed, plus the broken bowls, chopsticks, and plates.
The waiter was immediately in trouble.
This table of dishes and these broken utensils were things he couldn't exchange for even half a year's wages.
If he let this little girl go, he would have to pay for half a year's wages.
This made the waiter immediately withdraw his little sympathy.
"Little girl, I can't control that much."
"Not long after the food was served, you got hit."
"You also broke so many dishes. You have to compensate us for our losses no matter what."
"But little brother, I don't have that much money on me right now, why don't you let me go first and I will definitely bring it back to you later?"
"That won't work. Where can I find you now that you're gone?"
"If you want to leave, you have to pay for these things, otherwise I won't dare let you leave."
Just when the waiter and the girl were in a stalemate over the matter of compensation, several arrogant men also walked into the lobby of Fuxing Restaurant.
As soon as these people entered the restaurant, they immediately began to curse, kicked chairs, kicked tables, and blocked the entrance of the restaurant.
Seeing the little girl begging for mercy from the waiter, everyone's faces burst into laughter.
One of the men, with his chest open and his wolf head tattoo exposed, stepped on a chair nearby, looked at the little girl who had entered the restaurant before with a lewd look on his face, and said with a smile.
"Xiao Nizi, let me see where you are running this time."
"Hurry up and follow me back to Yicui Building. Mother Cui's place has already been prepared for you..."
The words of the man with the wolf head tattoo made the little girl shake her head in fright.
"Brother Wolf, I beg you, please let me go."
"I will pay you back the money I owe you when I return to the village."
"return?"
“What can your village give in return?”
The man with a wolf head tattoo, who was called Brother Wolf by the little girl, lowered his legs from the chair, stepped in front of the little girl, and continued to threaten her.
"Don't think that I don't know about you, Brother Lang. All the young people in your village have been infected by the plague and are almost dead."
"I advise you to follow me to Yicui House honestly, so as not to go back to the village and catch the plague and waste your good skin."
The little girl was so frightened by Brother Wolf that she fell back again and bumped into the table behind her again.
"No, they are not infected with the plague."
"The doctor said they were poisoned."
"As long as we think of a way to detoxify, our village can survive."
Upon hearing the little girl's words, Yi Wen and Yi Wu both looked at Gu Yuan in unison.
Their mission this time was to investigate the mass poisoning incident in a village called Shangsha Village on the edge of Tianshui Town.
Now it seems that this little girl is most likely from Shangsha Village.
They were worried that no one would lead them to Shangsha Village. The little girl in front of them was the best candidate.
"How much does this little girl owe you?"
After Gu Yuan nodded, Yi Wu lazily interjected and asked.
Brother Lang frowned, pushed the little girl away, stared at Yi Wu with an evil look and joked.
"Yo! Are you planning for a hero to save the beauty?"
"Master Wolf, let me tell you, this little girl owes me fifty taels of silver."
"If you want to save someone, then give me fifty taels of silver..."
