The speed of the shop was very fast, and before the tea time, with the shouting of the shopkeeper, two plates of steaming vegetables and a pot of turbid wine had been delivered to the table.

Gu Juan took a deep breath, and felt the fragrance rush from his nose to his brain, which almost made the cells in his body cheer, not to mention the five internal organs temple in his stomach, he was about to rebel on the spot, usurping the brain's control over the body, and he couldn't wait to command the hand and mouth to use it together, and send the wine and food into the stomach first.

It took him great willpower to control the desire to eat, and then he simply sank into the dantian, held his breath and concentrated, resisting the attraction of the aroma of wine and food in front of him in a semi-settled state, and listened attentively to the various chatters around him.

It's too painful.

I have to say that this situation is really very painful.

On the one hand, he had to endure the hunger pangs that almost burned his whole body, and on the other hand, he had to concentrate on finding useful information from the words that he didn't understand, and at the same time he had to learn the "local language" as much as possible, and it didn't take long for him to sweat profusely and be extremely sad.

"Why didn't the guest officer move his chopsticks and didn't stick to the glass of wine, could it be that the wine and food made in this store were not in line with the taste...... Hey, the guest officer looks pale and sweating profusely, could it be that he is sick?"

The shopkeeper was holding two wooden plates that had just been cleaned up, and he didn't know when he came to Gu Juan's table again, leaned down, and asked with concern.

"It's okay, I'll just rest for myself. Gu Juan waved his hand, and with some difficulty, he recalled the "dialect" he had just learned, and answered the question of the shopkeeper.

"Why don't the guest officers go to the medical hall to let Su Shengshou take a look, it's better than carrying it here. ”

"Check out. Gu Juan was worried that his words would be too wrong, so he estimated the price of the wine and food based on what he had just heard and saw, and then threw two jade coins on the tray of the shopkeeper.

"Well, guest officer, wait a moment. ”

The shopkeeper accepted the jade money and immediately went to the account to exchange for change.

Gu Juan was just about to get up from his seat, when he suddenly heard a very low voice from the place where a table was separated.

"Are the sacrifices ready?"

"There are two things that are not in place, and the others are pretty much the same. ”

Gu Juan suddenly held his breath and stared, followed the sound and secretly looked over, and saw a middle-aged man with a tall figure and a dark robe, talking in a low voice with the person in the same costume opposite.

He wanted to hear a few more words, but the two of them only said these two sentences, and then shifted the topic to other trivial matters, and there was no value in continuing to eavesdrop.

After a while, the shopkeeper smiled and found a few shell coins to come back, and sent Gu Juan out of the restaurant.

He once again disappeared into the darkness that could not be illuminated by the lights, silently observing the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and after a long time of selection, he quietly followed a woman in a white dress who had just come out of the house.

Half an hour later, he began to wonder why he had chosen such a goal.

She's just too good to shop.

It was not a short street, but it was definitely not a long one, and she had walked back and forth nearly three times, and even then she was still enjoying it, stopping every time she walked past a stall, as if it were the first time she had seen the goods, and looked through them with great interest, and then bought nothing, and continued on with a satisfied expression on her face.

If it weren't for the fear of being exposed, Gu Juan really wanted to rush forward and buy everything she liked directly and stuff it into her arms, just to satisfy her in the most brutal way, and then let her go home smoothly, so that he could follow him over and take people to torture and interrogate information.

If he hadn't gone over to investigate in person after she came out, he found that this woman in a white dress lived alone, the courtyard where she lived was relatively secluded, and she had no acquaintances to talk to after walking around the street for a long time.

Finally, after the third lap, she seemed to be a little tired, so she got up from a stall on the street, put down the hairpin she had been loving, and walked in the direction of her home.

The stall owner had just taken the hairpin in his hand, and before he could put it into the box where the jewelry was placed, a hand reached over and pinched the corner of the hairpin.

"How much?"

Gu Juan squatted down and spoke the strange pronunciation he had just learned.

The stall owner glanced up at him and slowly extended a finger.

"A jade coin?" Gu Juan nodded, without any bargaining meaning, and directly pointed to the box containing the hairpin and said, "I bought it, that, give it to me too." ”

The two of them handed over the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, and from beginning to end, only Gu Juan was talking, and there were no more than twenty words.

After selling this hairpin, the stall owner began to close the stall without saying a word, and Gu Juan put the jewelry box containing the hairpin into his arms, and quietly disappeared into the dark depths where the lights could not shine.

She entered the small courtyard, turned around and bolted the wooden door again, and then picked up a bucket of cold water by the well and poured it into the basin, and carried it into the bedroom on the east side of the main hall.

Stripped off her dress, she picked up a towel and began to dip it in water to wipe her body, a basin of water was quickly used up, and after pouring out the rest of the basin bottom, she returned to the house, but did not put on her clothes for the first time, but stood there silently, quietly looking at the figure sitting on the chair and not moving.

"Coming back?"

After a few breaths, she spoke, in a calm and natural tone.

Although she was facing a masked strange man who had broken into her home, she behaved like a wife, greeting her husband who had just returned home.

"It's back. ”

After being stunned for a moment, Gu Juan nodded calmly and naturally.

Then he took the jewelry box from his bosom and placed it on the only table in the room.

"I saw you like it, so I bought it. ”

Still seemingly defenseless, she first draped herself in a gauze skirt, then took two steps forward to the table, picked up the jewelry box and opened it, and admired the hairpin by the only candle in the room.

But to Gu Ju's surprise, she didn't seem to be interested in this hairpin, and after only two glances, she closed the box and put it back on the table, which was in stark contrast to the love and reluctance in front of the stall before.

She casually sat down opposite Gu Ju, looked at him and said, "A jade coin?"

Gu Juan's right hand, hidden under the table, lightly touched the handle of the axe, and nodded again when he heard this, "A jade coin." ”

She suddenly smiled, and her originally delicate but cold and stiff face instantly became much more vivid, "It's not worth the price." ”

"But I'm still a little happy that you can buy it for me. ”

Gu Juan was stunned again, and the corners of his mouth under the black cloth twitched a few times involuntarily.

He didn't know how things had suddenly unfolded like this, didn't he sneak in and subdue this woman in one fell swoop, and then interrogate and torture the information?

Why did it suddenly turn to the current strange situation without warning?

Knowing this, he might as well wait a little longer and find a man to ask for information.

Forget it, anyway, let's chop an axe first and subdue her.

He grasped the handle of the axe, but suddenly realized that he had no strength.

The hands and feet are all soft, let alone the axe, I am afraid that it is difficult to stand up straight from this chair.
