Ye Yinfeng was very surprised. He didn't expect that the fat Taoist priest would hear it right away, but he was so careless that he didn't notice that there was someone hiding in the dark watching them. The man's breathing was long and continuous,
His inner strength is by no means inferior to that of the old man next door. Who is he? Is he one of the three people working in this restaurant?
Ye Yinfeng was about to open the door and go out. He wanted to catch the person who was spying on him and others, but was stopped by Li Xiaoyao. He saw Li Xiaoyao wrote a few words in his palm, and those words were
"Don't strike the grass and scare the snake.'" He was stunned and immediately realized how could the person hiding in the dark give them a chance. He was afraid that as soon as he went out, the person would disappear without a trace.
"Yes, tomorrow I also want to go with my senior brother to see the thief who stole wine and dogs. I don't know if the thief is still in the village." Ye Yinfeng understood and agreed with the fat Taoist priest.
They chatted without saying a word, not noticing that anyone was watching them, and the person who was watching them seemed to be very patient, staying in the rockery and not leaving.
After about two-quarters of an hour, they found that the light in the attic above the main room of the wine shop was on. From the attic window, they could see three figures, two large figures and one small figure. They must be members of the wine shop's family.
Three people. They seemed to be arguing about something. The two big eyes kept facing each other, while the small figure seemed helpless beside them.
"Are you dressed so coquettishly to seduce that fat young man?" A voice came from the window. Although it was weak, it was clearly audible. This voice seemed to be that man's voice.
Then there was a "pop" and a slap in the face. A figure seemed to slap another figure.
"Don't hit mother, wuwuwu??????", followed by a burst of children's pleading and childish crying, another figure moved up and hugged the petite figure tightly, and then
The sound of a woman sobbing mixed with the sound of the child crying.
Although these sounds were weak, Ye Yinfeng and Li Xiaoyao could hear them clearly. The three members of the wine shop's family were in the attic, so who could be watching them in that rockery? Their faces were filled with confusion.
After looking at each other in confusion, they realized that this was getting weirder and weirder.
Suddenly, the lights on the attic suddenly went out, and no one could be seen clearly on the attic. It must have been that the man was afraid of disturbing the guests loudly to avoid being laughed at, so there was no more arguing, and the family
The three of them turned off the lights early and went to bed.
After the candlelight above the attic was completely extinguished and the entire attic merged into the silent night, and no one could be seen in the attic, Ye Yinfeng and Li Xiaoyao looked at each other. Doubts arose in their hearts at the same time.
Who could be the person spying on them hiding in the rockery?
And just now they clearly saw and heard everything that happened in the attic. They saw and heard the figure and the voice very clearly. If the person hiding in the rockery and watching them was one of the three people in the wine shop,
But everything that happened in the attic clearly eliminated their suspicion.
But at this time, the surroundings were silent again, and the slender and continuous gentle breathing sound stayed there without moving. The holiday was not high, and if he was a famous person, he would be easily attracted by them.
They found out, but they looked outside the window in the rockery and still didn't find any clues.
"I'm so sleepy. Go to bed early. I'm very tired today." Li Xiaoyao yawned and stretched his body and murmured. After saying that, he walked towards the bed.
.
There were two beds in the entire guest room, and the headboards of the two beds were close to the window. Ye Yinfeng knew that it would be impossible to find any strong clues if this continued. The person was hiding, and they were hiding. Even at this time
If you rush forward, you may not be able to catch the person on the spot, and you may even alert him.
The two people put out the candles and got dressed and lay down, but they never really fell asleep. They kept their eyes wide open and their ears kept listening to the breathing of Renren hiding in the rockery.
Li Xiaoyao stretched out his hand and tapped three times on the wall next to the bed. Soon, the three taps were also heard from the other side of the wall. When Li Xiaoyao heard the three taps, his face became solemn and his starry eyes bloomed.
With bright luster, eyes like wild wolves.
Ye Yinfeng was puzzled when he saw this, but he couldn't ask, so he looked at the other person with a puzzled face. Through the hazy night, he could clearly see that Li Xiaoyao was solemn as never before. Could it be that the old man next door gave him
What information is conveyed.
Just when he was puzzled, he saw Li Xiaoyao writing a few words in the air with his right hand. He was using the empty drawing method to say to Ye Yinfeng: "That man's martial arts realm is very high, at least in the innate realm.
Go up. Old man Dugu can't tell the origin of that person, but he is definitely an extraordinary master."
Ye Yinfeng felt a chill in his heart. Although he had never seen this old man take action, he felt that his martial arts level was definitely above the innate level. The person hiding in the rockery who could make this old man so fearful might not be the same.
The level of martial arts cultivation was not lower than that of the old man, maybe even higher. Only then did he know from Li Xiaoyao's sketch that the old man's surname was Dugu, and even a lawless man like Li Xiaoyao would respectfully call him "old man".
It can be seen that the status of this old man Dugu is obviously not low.
Not long after, they felt the sound of wind blowing through the air in the rockery. A figure as light and flexible as a civet cat flashed out of the rockery. The figure turned over and climbed onto the roof. Soon
It disappeared into the night.
In the silent night, the cold wind blew gently by. In the dark sky, you could see rolling black clouds everywhere, getting bigger and bigger, like a beast about to open its bloody mouth at any time.
Li Xiaoyao and Ye Yinfeng let out a long sigh at the same time. The person who monitored them has left. Why that person did this, they don't understand. Since the other person has left, they are safe for the time being. The two of them are now safe.
Then they fell asleep with peace of mind, but they didn't dare to sleep too hard.
Ye Yinfeng had long removed the long sword from his back and kept it tightly in his hand. Whenever there was any movement, he could make the most advantageous counterattack. But at this time, the fat Taoist Li Xiaoyao let out a slight
He was snoring, and he didn't know whether he was really asleep or pretending to be asleep. He listened carefully to the next door for a while, and there were two snores, one big and one small. It seemed that Li Congjia and the old man Dugu were also asleep.
The next day, the four people got into a quarrel with the constant sound of cockcrows, and it was already dark.
Li Xiaoyao swayed his fat body, stretched out for a long time, and kept yawning. "It would be wonderful if I could sleep again." He yawned
He muttered inarticulately.
The man in the store had already prepared hot water for everyone to wash with. When he saw everyone leaving the house, he stepped forward to greet them enthusiastically.
After everyone had washed up, they followed him to the lobby of the wine shop, where they had already prepared breakfast. However, the woman and the boy were not in the lobby, and seemed to be in the kitchen.
"Shopkeeper, where is the Dragon King Temple you mentioned? Can you take me there today to have a look? Maybe we have a chance to catch the thief who stole wine and dogs." Li Xiaoyao ate while eating.
I asked the man earlier, and of course I changed my title. Now that I knew he was the owner of the wine shop, it was not an exaggeration to call him the shop owner.
The man thought for a while and then said, "I don't know whether the Taoist priest will go alone or if everyone will go."
His gaze swept across everyone, and there seemed to be something unspeakable in his eyes.
"Let's go alone. They are all delicate people. How can they withstand such a torment." The fat Taoist replied readily. The other people did not object and seemed to agree with the other party's decision.
"The Dragon King Temple is at the other end of the village. Just keep walking forward from the avenue in front of the door. It will take about half an hour to get there. After we have breakfast, I will let the little one lead this Taoist priest.
It doesn’t hurt to go and have a look. I’ll tell you at a glance that you are members of aristocratic families and have martial arts skills, right?”
The look of admiration on this man's face made people like him even more.
"The store has a bad reputation. We only know a little bit about martial arts, and we are not considered martial arts practitioners." Li Xiaoyao passed by in an understatement. Of course, they didn't want their identities to be leaked, even if the other party really was a martial artist.
It is impossible for a person with no strength to tell his identity.
"Oh." The man was not unhappy because the other party did not reveal his identity. Instead, he looked thoughtful. However, he did not intend to continue asking. He should know that such inquiring would anger the guest. This
People of this kind are also better at observing faces, knowing what to ask and what not to ask, and they do it very appropriately and decently.
After a while, everyone finished eating breakfast and walked out of the lobby door and came to the courtyard. Ye Yinfeng was surprised to see the yellow dog lying in the newly built dog shed. It seemed to be sleeping soundly, with a long
Saliva flowed from its dog's mouth, and its limbs continued to move wildly.
He glanced at the man gratefully, and the man immediately understood and said quickly: "It's just a little effort. Besides, the dog also likes this yellow dog, so the little one didn't do anything."
After saying that, he carried a basket of bamboo farming tools on his back and called Li Xiaoyao to take him to see the Dragon King Temple. Li Xiaoyao followed the man out of the courtyard, and they strolled onto the muddy road.
When Li Xiaoyao passed by Ye Yinfeng, he gave Ye Yinfeng a look, and the other party gave him a reassuring knowing look, indicating that nothing would go wrong with him. There was also the old man Dugu next to Li Congjia.
He also gave Li Xiaoyao a calm look, but Xiaopang didn't notice anything at all. He was looking up at the sky with rolling dark clouds. The dark clouds were getting thicker and thicker, and maybe a snowstorm would come in the next moment.
After the shopkeeper and Li Xiaoyao left, the woman led the boy and came to the courtyard. The woman's face was covered with a thick layer of rouge, and the left side of her face seemed larger than the right side.
The thick rouge and gouache seemed to be trying to cover up something. The boy held the woman's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that the woman would disappear if he let go.
The boy's face was still covered with a thick layer of rouge and gouache, and a pair of black grape-like eyes on the pink face were looking around. When he saw the little fat man looking up at the sky, his face showed
A sly smile.
At this moment, a head suddenly poked its head in from the ajar gate of the courtyard. When a pair of shrewd eyes on that head saw Li Congjia and others, they immediately showed ecstatic eyes.
The man pushed the door open and stepped in, but it was a young man in green clothes and a felt hat. As soon as the young man stepped forward, he bowed to Ye Yinfeng and panted: "You two
Young Master, please let me search for you for a while, but I finally found the two Young Masters this time." The young man raised his head and wiped the dense beads of sweat on his forehead, which showed that he had indeed been running all the way.
After searching around, I found them.
"Does your young master want me to wait until we get back and start sailing?" Ye Yinfeng waved his hand and let the young man rest for a while. After he calmed down, he asked him.
The young man seemed to have calmed down enough, and he quickly said: "That's not true. My young master asked me to come here to tell you that the merchant ship will set sail tomorrow, because there are still some supplies that cannot be loaded until this afternoon, so
Early this morning, I ordered you to search around in the nearby villages, and as expected, the emperor paid off and asked me to find the two young masters."
"Okay, I understand, then it's okay if I just wait here and play for another day." Ye Yinfeng replied calmly.
"Since the two young masters have been notified, the younger one has to go back and report to my young master, so let's say goodbye." The young man seemed to be very anxious to leave this place. He wanted to leave as soon as he was notified.
After he finished speaking, when Ye Yinfeng and the others didn't reply, he turned around and strode toward the door.
