Chapter Ninety-Three: Weird Little Guy
Ye Yinfeng was very strange, he didn't expect this fat Taoist priest to hear it at once, but he didn't notice that there was still a person hiding in the dark to monitor them. The man's breath was long and long, and his internal strength was not under the old man next door. Who is it, is it one of the three people in this wine shop?
Ye Yinfeng was about to open the door and go out, he wanted to arrest the person who was monitoring him and others, but was stopped by Li Xiaoyao, only to see Li Xiaoyao write a few words in his palm, those words were "Don't startle the snake". He was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, how could the person hiding in the shadows give them a chance, I am afraid that as soon as he goes out, the person will run away without a trace.
"Yes, tomorrow I also want to go with my senior brother to meet the thief who stole wine and dogs, I don't know if the thief is still in this village." Ye Yinfeng also echoed the fat Taoist.
They chatted without saying a word, not noticing that anyone was watching, and the person who was watching them seemed to be very patient, and stayed in the rockery and did not leave.
After about two quarters of an hour, they noticed that the light in the attic on the main room of the liquor shop was on. From the attic window, three figures could be seen, two large figures and a small figure, presumably a family of three in the wine shop. They seemed to be arguing over something, the two big eyes were always facing each other, and the small figure was helpless.
"Are you dressed so glamorously to seduce that chubby boy?" From the window came a faint but distinct voice, which seemed to be the man's voice.
Immediately after that, there was a "snap", and a slap sounded out, and a figure seemed to slap another figure.
"Don't beat your mother, woo woo woo ??????", followed by a child's pleading and childish crying, another figure leaning to the side and hugging the petite figure tightly, and then a woman's sobbing mixed with the child's crying.
Although these voices were weak, Ye Yinfeng and Li Xiaoyao could hear them clearly, the family of three in the wine shop was all above the attic, so who would be watching them in the rockery. They looked at each other with puzzled faces, and they realized that this thing was getting weirder and weirder.
Suddenly, the lights in the attic went out, and no one could be seen in the attic anymore. It must have been that the man was afraid of making a loud noise to the guests so as not to be laughed at, so there was no longer a dispute, and the family of three went to bed early.
After the candlelight above the attic was completely extinguished, and the entire attic blended into the silent night, and the figure above the attic could not be seen, Ye Yinfeng and Li Xiaoyao looked at each other. At the same time, doubts rose in their hearts about who the man who was watching them in the rockery would be.
And just now they saw and heard clearly what was happening in the attic, the figure and the voice they saw and heard. If the person hiding in the rockery to spy on them was one of the three people in the wine shop, what happened in the attic clearly dispelled their suspicions.
At this time, there was silence again, and the slender and continuous slight breathing sound remained there without moving. The fake sky was not high, and if it was a celebrity, it should be easy for them to find out, but they looked out the window into the rockery, but still didn't find any clues.
"I'm so sleepy, go to bed early, I'm tired of this Daoist today." Li Xiaoyao yawned, he stretched and muttered. With that, he walked to the bed.
There are two beds in the whole room, both of which have headsides in front of the window. Ye Yinfeng knew that it was impossible to find any strong clues if it went on like this, that person was in the dark, and they were in the light. Even if he rushes at this time, he may not be able to catch that person on the spot, and he may even startle the snake.
The two put out the candles and closed their clothes and lay down, but they never really fell asleep. They kept their eyes wide open, and their ears kept listening to the breathing of the man hiding in the rockery.
Li Xiaoyao reached out and tapped three times on the wall next to the bed, and after a while, the other side of the wall also returned three taps. Li Xiaoyao heard the three blows, his face was solemn, and a pair of starry eyes bloomed with a bright luster, like wolf-like eyes.
Ye Yinfeng was puzzled when he saw this, but he didn't want to ask, and looked at the other party with a puzzled expression. Through the hazy night, he clearly saw that Li Xiaoyao had never been dignified, could it be that the old man next door had sent him some information.
Just when he was puzzled, he saw Li Xiaoyao writing a few words in the air with his right hand, and he was using the method of empty drawing to say to Ye Yinfeng: "That person's martial arts cultivation realm is very high, at least above the innate realm. Uncle Dugu couldn't tell the origin of that person, but this person was definitely a very ordinary master. ”
Ye Yinfeng's heart sank, although he had never seen this old man make a move, but he felt that this person's martial arts cultivation realm was definitely above the innate level, and the person hiding in the rockery who could make this old man so jealous was afraid that the martial arts cultivation realm was not below the old man, and it might be even higher. At this time, he also knew from Li Xiaoyao's empty description that the old man's surname was Dugu, and even a lawless person like Li Xiaoyao had to call him an old man, which showed that the identity of this Dugu old man was obviously not low.
It didn't take long for them to feel the sound of the wind breaking through the sky in the rockery. A figure as light and nimble as a tanuki flashed from the rockery, and the figure turned over and went up to the roof, and soon disappeared into the night.
In the silence of the night, the cold wind blew softly, and dark clouds could be seen rolling everywhere in the dark sky, which became bigger and bigger, like a beast that was about to open its bloody mouth at any moment.
Li Xiaoyao and Ye Yinfeng sighed at the same time, the person who was watching them had already left, why did that person do this, they didn't understand. Now that the other party has left, then they are safe for the time being. The two of them slept with peace of mind, but they didn't dare to sleep too hard.
Ye Yinfeng had already unloaded the long sword on his back and held it tightly in his hand all the time, so that he could make the most advantageous counterattack whenever there was any movement. And the fat Taoist Li Xiaoyao let out a slight snoring sound at this time, and I don't know if he was really asleep or fake. He listened carefully to the next door for a while, there were two snoring sounds next door, one big and one small, and Li Congjia and the old man Dugu were also asleep.
The next day, the four of them quarreled with the crow of a rooster, and it was already dark.
Li Xiaoyao swayed his fat body, stretched his waist long, and yawned incessantly. "It would be nice to get some more sleep," he muttered, yawning and slurring his mouth.
The man in the shop had already prepared hot water for everyone to wash, and when he saw everyone coming out of the house, he stepped forward to greet them very attentively.
After everyone had washed up, they followed him to the lobby of the wine shop, ready for breakfast. But the woman and the boy were not in the hall, but seemed to be in the kitchen.
"Shopkeeper, where is the location of the Dragon King Temple you said, can you take me and others to see it today, maybe we have a chance to catch the thief who stole wine and dogs." Li Xiaoyao asked the man while eating, of course, the title has also changed, since he knows that he is the owner of this wine shop, it is not too much to call the shopkeeper.
The man pondered for a while, and then he said, "I don't know if this Taoist chief will go alone or everyone else." ”
His gaze swept over everyone, and there seemed to be something unspeakable in his eyes.
"Let's go alone, they are all delicate people, where can they withstand this toss." The fat Taoist priest replied very cheerfully. The others did not object, and seemed to agree with the other party's decision.
"This dragon king temple is at the other end of the village, and it takes about half an hour to walk from this avenue in front of the door. After we finish eating breakfast, it doesn't hurt to let the little one take this Taoist chief to inspect it. At a glance, you know that you should be the children of the family, and you are a martial artist, right? ”
This man's look of admiration makes people feel more good about him.
"The store is too pretty, we only know a little bit about martial arts, and we are not martial arts cultivators." Li Xiaoyao passed by lightly, of course they didn't want their identities to be revealed, even if the other party was really a powerless person, it was impossible to tell their identities.
"Oh." The man was not unhappy because the other party did not reveal his identity, but looked a little thoughtful, but he did not plan to continue to ask, he should know that such a diagonal inquiry would anger the guest. This kind of person is also more observant, knows what to ask and what not to ask, and does it very appropriately and decently.
After a while, everyone walked out of the door of the lobby and came to the courtyard, Ye Yinfeng unexpectedly saw that the yellow dog was lying in a newly built dog shed, as if he was sleeping soundly, long saliva flowed out of its dog's mouth, and his limbs were constantly moving.
He glanced at the man gratefully, and the man immediately came to his senses and hurriedly said, "It's just a gesture, and besides, the dog also likes this yellow dog, and the little one doesn't do anything." ”
After speaking, he carried a bamboo farm tool and a bamboo basket to beckon Li Xiaoyao, wanting to take him to see the Dragon King Temple. Li Xiaoyao followed the man out of the courtyard, and they walked onto the muddy avenue.
When Li Xiaoyao passed by Ye Yinfeng's side, he gave Ye Yinfeng a look, and the other party gave him a reassuring look, indicating that he would have no problems with everything. And the old man Dugu beside Li Congjia also gave Li Xiaoyao a stable look, but all this little fat didn't find anything at all, he was looking up at the dark clouds rolling in the sky, the dark clouds got thicker and thicker, maybe the next moment the blizzard would come.
After the shopkeeper and Li Xiaoyao left, the woman led the boy to the courtyard. The woman's face was covered with a thick layer of rouge, and the left side of the face seemed to be larger than the right one, and the thick rouge gouache seemed to try to hide something. The boy took the woman's hand tightly, as if he were afraid that if he let go, the woman would disappear.
The boy's face was still covered with a thick layer of rouge gouache, and a pair of black grape-like eyes were looking around, and when he saw the little fat man who looked up at the sky, a sly smile appeared on his face.
At this time, a head suddenly poked into the gate of the courtyard, and when a pair of shrewd eyes on the head saw Li Congjia and the others, they immediately showed ecstatic eyes.
The man pushed the door open and came in, but it was a little man in a green coat and a felt fur hat. As soon as the little guy stepped forward, he bowed down to Ye Yinfeng and panted: "Two sons, you make it easy to find the little ones for a while, this time you can finally find the two sons." The little guy looked up and wiped the dense beads of sweat on his forehead, which showed that he had indeed come all the way, and he had found them by looking around.
"Does your son-in-law want me to wait until I go back, and I'm going to start sailing." Ye Yinfeng waved his hand, let the little guy rest for a while, and then asked the other party when he was relieved.
The little guy seemed to have eased enough, and he hurriedly said: "It's not, my son-in-law asked the little one to come to tell the two sons that the merchant ship will set sail tomorrow, because there are still some supplies that will not be loaded until this afternoon, so early this morning, I ordered the little one to look around in this nearby village, and sure enough, the emperor paid off, so that the little one had to find the two sons." ”
"Okay, got it, then it's okay for me to wait here for another day." Ye Yinfeng replied lightly.
"Now that the two sons have been notified, the younger one has to go back to tell my son-in-law, so don't say goodbye." The little guy seemed to be in a hurry to get out of here, and he wanted to leave as soon as he was notified.
After he finished speaking, before Ye Yinfeng and the others could answer, he turned around and strode towards the door.
