Early the next morning, when Chen Mo asked the old man about the specific route, he took Xiao Yanyu and left this unknown village with only a few old people left.
Yesterday, the old man said that the road used to be flooded and turned into a muddy field, so he had to take a detour. So now there is no way out. He could only point out the approximate way to go to avoid the muddy field.
You may be able to see the previous road in the mud, but this is also uncertain. After all, the influx of lake water changed a lot of things.
Niangpi Town is a small town on the border between Liuzhou and Guizhou. It is relatively close to Black Tiger Mountain, so the atmosphere here is relatively strong. Those who can do business here are all capable people. The town is not big.
, unlike a city with its walls, it was originally a small market. Due to various factors, there were more and more houses, and it became a small town.
By the time Chen Mo brought Xiao Yanyu to the archway of this small town, the sun had already set, but the place was still lively.
"Niangpi Town?" Xiao Yanyu looked at the strange name on the archway and asked curiously: "Why such a strange name."
Chen Mo tightened Xiao Yanyu's hand, glanced at the few gangsters following him, and walked into this small town with a strange name.
When they were on the hillside in the distance, Chen Mo saw this small town. The town was built on a main road. The houses in the small town were built on both sides of the road, extending all the way.
The house, seen from a distance, looks like a charming girl lying lazily in the mountains. Perhaps this is where the name Niangpi Town comes from.
There are various shops on both sides of the street, some selling food, some selling goods, and more of them selling weapons.
The two sat down at a small noodle stall, and a lean waiter ran over hard and said, "What do you two want?"
“Two servings of plain noodles.”
"Okay, two portions of plain noodles."
Xiao Yanyu sat on the bench and looked at a few gangsters not far away, and whispered to Chen Mo: "We robbed their money, what will they eat?"
"Eat dirt."
When they were about to enter this small town, a few gangsters attacked them, but they encountered a tough fight and were robbed by Chen Mo. They refused to give up and followed Chen Mo, but they couldn't beat him.
, he could only watch from a distance, as if he was waiting for someone. Chen Mo knew this. If the soldiers come, they will block the water and cover the ground. As long as they don't cause trouble for themselves, they won't cause trouble for others. Besides, even if the other party has a few broken pieces of silver,
Backer, Chen Mo thought that those who looked at the mountain would not help a few losers for some scraps of silver.
“It’s so lively here.”
Xiao Yanyu looked at the shops with lanterns hung as night fell, and there were still many people coming and going.
Chen Mo also noticed this. It was a bit unusual for a small town to be so lively at night.
After a while, the waiter brought two bowls of plain noodles, which were still steaming.
"You two, this is your first time in this town?" Seeing that there was no business, the waiter pulled up a bench and sat down.
"I got lost, so I came here when I saw it." Xiao Yanyu said with a smile on his face, "It's so delicious."
"Boy, which way is Guizhou?" Chen Mo asked.
Because he intercepted and killed people from the Sun family, Chen Mo deviated from the original route and was a little unsure of his location. Moreover, the map he saw at the Guo family at that time did not describe this place in detail.
"This can be said to be Guizhou or not Guizhou." The waiter pointed to the archway not far away where Chen Mo came in, and continued: "After that archway, it is Liuzhou."
Then the waiter pointed to the other end of the street and said: "There is also an archway over there. Beyond that, it is Guizhou. The place where we are now, Niangpi Town, is at the junction of the two states."
"Is there an inn here?" Chen Mo asked.
"Yes, but..." The waiter looked at them and said, "The inn is not cheap, you can't afford it."
"Why?" Xiao Yanyu asked curiously.
"This is an important road for caravans to travel. Many caravans will choose to stay here for one night before leaving. There are so many people here, and this place is out of the way and there is no store. There is no better place to rest except here."
The waiter said eloquently. "Two large caravans came today, so I guess there won't be much space left in the inn."
""What should we do?" Xiao Yanyu looked at Chen Mo.
"Instead of just staying outside the town for one night, some caravans would choose to sleep outside the town in order to save money." The waiter said, but after looking at a few gangsters in the distance, he knew that these two
He seems to be in some trouble personally. "It seems that you are in some trouble. If you sleep outside, they won't let you rest in peace."
Xiao Yanyu looked at those people, frowned, and finished the noodle soup sullenly.
"I do have a woodshed here..." the waiter rubbed his hands and said.
"Do you want to let us stay for the night?" Xiao Yanyu said happily. The woodshed is not bad, at least it won't be harassed by those ruffians.
"How much?" Chen Mo was not as naive as Xiao Yanyu.
"Hey, it's not much, just five cents." The waiter stretched out his five fingers in embarrassment.
"Okay, I'll come back to you later."
"Okay." The waiter's goal has been achieved and he won't argue with them anymore.
"I thought he could give us money for free." Xiao Yanyu curled his lips.
"Are you full?"
"I'm full even if I'm not full." Xiao Yanyu said angrily.
"Then go for a walk."
"good."
...
In the center of the town, there is a three-story building, which feels like it stands out from the crowd. It is the only restaurant in the town. The business on the first and second floors can be said to be booming at this time. From time to time, the sound of chopping wine can be heard. This town belongs to
It's the busiest here.
Chen Mo and Xiao Yanyu looked at the door for a while, and then left. This was not the place for them to go in. Two small figures walked on the street, looking at them from time to time.
"Why are they looking at us?" Xiao Yanyu held Chen Mo's hand tightly. The people here made him feel nervous.
"Maybe it's our first time here."
The town is not very big, and there is only one street. Behind the street shop is the house where the shop lives, and behind it is the mountain. Chen Mo can't understand how a small town can be formed here. Apart from caravans, there are also
Someone else will be here.
When things go wrong, there must be a monster, but I don’t know where the monster is.
When he reached the end of the street, he saw the archway that the waiter mentioned. After leaving the archway and following this business road, it was within the borders of Hezhou. Chen Mo thought for a while, it was okay not to rest in this town, but, look
Looking at the little girl next to her, she seemed to be staying the night. Maybe she could find something tonight.
I shopped around and bought nothing, no money and nothing suitable.
Back at the noodle stall, the waiter came over diligently: "Have you thought about it?"
"Take us there."
"Okay, it's not far behind the noodle stall. Come with me." The waiter led Chen Mo and the two of them towards the back of the noodle stall.
There are indeed two small mud houses, one is a firewood shed, and the other is where the noodle stall owner and waiter live.
The waiter held up a lantern handle and led them into the woodshed. It was quite clean, and there was even a straw mat laid out. It seemed that they were not the first people to live in the woodshed.
"This is it. The conditions are a bit simple, but at least it can provide shelter from the wind and rain. However, there are no extra quilts here. If you feel cold, you can make a bonfire. Don't worry, you can burn the firewood here as long as you don't light it up.
It’s all right.” The waiter even made a humorous joke at the end.
"Take it." Chen Mo threw him five copper coins.
"Thank you, little brother. If nothing happens, I will go back to work." The waiter happily took the coin.
The restaurant in the small town, on the third floor.
Several burly men were sitting on stools, drinking fragrant tea.
"The people of Black Tiger Mountain don't have enough tea money this month." On the railing outside the third floor, a middle-aged and elegant man said. Next to him, there were two maids wearing tube tops who were cooking for him.
Serving tea.
"Master Lan, you also know that our Black Tiger Mountain is in some trouble now. Can you see if you can..."
"You know the rules here. If you don't teach enough tea money, there will be no place for you in the small town store. You know, the store here is very coveted by others." Master Lan said in a cold voice.
"Yeah, if you can't do it, just get out of the way and stop blocking us from getting rich." One person present said, causing others present to joke.
"Hmph, Painted Leopard, you dare to talk to our Black Tiger Mountain like this even in your wretched place."
"Don't scare me with this name. If that tigress were here, I wouldn't dare to let go of a fart. But does she dare to come? I'm afraid that if she comes, her nest will be destroyed."
"Ha ha ha ha."
The man who belonged to Black Tiger Mountain was so angry that his face turned livid.
"Go back and tell your master that you will pay for the tea tomorrow, otherwise you will not come to this town again." Mr. Lan took the tea handed over by the maid and blew on the hot air.
"Master Lan, I'll take my leave first." After saying that, the man left the third floor of the teahouse in the eyes of everyone laughing.
"Master Lan, do you have anything available today?"
After that man left, the remaining people looked at Mr. Lan, who had a leisurely look on his face.
Master Lan tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lan, the money for pastries is ready."
"Yes, there is a pretty girl with no breasts, and a hot girl with big breasts." Mr. Lan said calmly.
"How big are you?" Several people's eyes lit up when they heard "big breasts."
“It’s big.”
"Talk about it."
After the people on the third floor conducted an obscure transaction, several visitors on the third floor left the restaurant with satisfied expressions.
.....
"Go to sleep."
The bonfire had been lit and the house began to warm up. As soon as the room was warm, coupled with the fatigue of today, Xiao Yanyu quickly became sleepy and fell asleep leaning against Chen Mo.
