The young man patted the edge of the couch and found that it was very clean and not dusty, so he sat down, closed his eyes and said, "Please be vigilant." ”

The woman in red slowly appeared beside him and snorted.

The boy meditated with pranayama, and after a while he entered the state.

￥￥￥￥￥

The sun still rises in the east, even if it was stormy the night before.

Yan Saburo pushed the window and smelled the moisture of the earth.

Almost at the same time, Bai Ling knocked on his door: "There are more than a dozen people coming here." ”

There was movement in the streets.

"It's the township guard who is here. Yan Saburo stood on the second floor and looked at him condescendingly, "It's time for us to go." ”

Such a town also has local security. The incident in the tavern last night alarmed many people, but the efficiency of the small place was slow, and the township guard only dispatched this morning to inspect the tavern.

Yan Saburo and the two naturally couldn't stay any longer.

He opened the bookcase, and the white cat emerged from the corner of the wall and jumped into it consciously.

Only then did Bai Ling realize that it was just behind him.

The nose is a little itchy. She rubbed her nose: "Let's go, they're at the door." ”

Both of them have cultivation, and they jumped out of the back door and went out, so they didn't have to face the township guards who came to them.

It was already dawn, and there were more people on the road. Yesterday, the check-in was too hurried, and it was a violent storm in the middle of the night, so the two of them had time to take a good look at the town.

The scale of the town is really not large, just from the size of the shops and the façade, you can see that the business here is not developed, and only sells a little people's livelihood products. There are no daily markets like Shengyi and Chunmingcheng.

In the boy's opinion, even Yicheng is more developed than here, at least there is a section of stone road on the main street of Yicheng.

Although some of the stone slabs are in disrepair and cracked, it is better than the town is full of dirt roads. After heavy rain all night, the road was heavily waterlogged, and the places where you could put your feet were covered with mud.

Bai Ling's thin-soled fast boots were only wiped by herself last night, and now she can't walk a few steps, and she is stained with grass plaster and mud, which is very annoying.

The two wanted to have breakfast, and walked out of three streets, only to see an old shed at the mouth of an alley, selling hot pulp and oil cakes.

There are not many people, the tables and chairs are very low, and it is a half-squat to sit down. Yan Saburo picked a small square table at random, and Bai Ling had to bend her legs, but before sitting down, she didn't forget to spread a handkerchief on the chair surface.

This position is not very comfortable, not to mention that there is some dirt on the table, which is not very clean. Bai Ling picked at it with her fingernails in disgust, pulling out a layer of plaster.

"There's nowhere else to eat?"

"It's out of town. Yan Saburo was calm, "You can wait until the next township to find out." ”

Bai Ling pouted, and after a while, he said, "Forget it." After two days together, she also understood one thing:

The boy won't follow her.

When they go to the next town, they probably won't have time to eat.

On the ground a foot away, there were a few lumps of mud. The environment made her unappetizing. But today will also be a busy day, and she will have to eat.

She had only slept for two hours last night and had a nightmare that she had to regain her strength.

The shopkeeper made two bowls of hot syrup, and the cake had just been fished out of the oil pan, and it was still sizzling in front of the two of them, with a bright layer of oil on the surface.

The grains are wrapped in shallots, which is very fragrant.

Bai Ling froze after taking a bite. She doesn't eat shallots, and the smell makes her nauseous.

"Fry me two more pancakes, no green onions. She thought for a moment and added, "Drain the oil a little bit." ”

Just give the money, and the owner of the shed will answer.

"Sprinkle some more sesame seeds. ”

"Big sister. The owner of the shed did not raise his head, "I don't have sesame seeds here." ”

"Forget it. "Small place, nothing.

He was just blowing up here, and Bai Ling asked him by the way: "I heard that there is a two-headed monster roaming around the neighborhood from time to time, have you seen it?"

"What monster?" the owner of the shed snorted, "that's the patron saint of Taoyuan." He looked at the two of them with a strange gaze, "Where did you come from, how come you don't even know the Patronus?"

"Pan Tugou. Yan Saburo took a sip of the syrup.

Bai Ling didn't know what kind of place it was, but when the shack owner heard it, he let out an "oh", and his voice was full of envy: "Pan Tugou! I heard that it is the most prosperous place in Taoyuan Realm!"

"It's okay. Yan Saburo didn't want him to ask about Pan Tugou, so he quickly diverted the topic, "Doesn't it really eat people?"

"No. The owner of the shed smiled, "I have been selling early here for many years, and I often see it coming and going, do you think I am still alive and well?"

So, Nailuo doesn't eat people from the Peach Source Realm?

"Where does it often move?"

"It's around here. The owner of the shed thought for a moment, "It's not wandering around, you haven't seen it in Pantugou." I've heard that it will live in one place for a few years, and when it gets tired of it, it will go elsewhere. Villagers collect medicine in the wild and sometimes see it hunting deer and wild boars. ”

He paused and sighed, "Although the Patronus looks vicious, no one is terrible. ”

Bai Lingqi said: "Why?"

The stall owner sighed: "I see that you are sixteen or seventeen years old, do you remember the plague twelve years ago?"

Without waiting for Bai Ling to answer, Yan Saburo spoke first: "At that time, we were all young, and we didn't have any impressions, but we only heard the adults say that it was terrible. ”

Bai Ling looked at him and blinked, this person lied and didn't blink an eye.

"For seven consecutive years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the grains have been abundant, and the whole Taoyuan realm is thriving. The stall owner shook his head, "It turned out that the plague came, and it came inexplicably. ”

"You said that there were no floods and no wars in those years, so where did such a terrible plague come from? I see, more than half of the people died in the entire Taoyuan Realm. The stall owner stirred the oil pot, "At that time, my neighbor had just gotten married, and she had just passed the door a few days ago, and her husband's family suddenly became ill, and in less than seven days, the whole family died!"

"But it's a pity for a pretty girl. ”

Bai Ling also sighed, but quickly reacted: "This is a terrible natural disaster, what does it have to do with people?"

The stall owner rolled his eyelids: "In Pan Tugou, you must be a young lady from a big family, right?

Bai Ling was speechless, subconsciously looked at Yan Sanlang, and saw that this person picked up the pulp and took another sip, before Shi Shiran said: "She rarely goes out." ”

"I said. The stall owner sighed, "After so many years of war and turmoil, who will not suffer?"

Is there a war in the Taoyuan Realm? Yan Saburo raised his eyebrows and followed his words: "Fortunately, the countryside is remote, and the disaster of war will not affect here, right?"

"We are poor here, but we have escaped a catastrophe. The stall owner coughed lightly, "Ten years ago, there were many people who fled to us. ”

"By the way, something seemed to have happened in the tavern last night. Yan Saburo pointed in the direction of Tu Xing'er's tavern with his backhand, "Are they okay with the couple?"

"Oops, I heard there's no one in there. The owner of the shed turned over the oil cake in the pot, "Shopkeeper Wang and his wife are good people, don't have any accidents!"
