The building was not far away, and after the two of them quickened their pace, they arrived in a short time.
As Jia Qian said, it is located in a ditch beside the road, adjacent to a rapeseed field. The scenery is quiet and original.
It happened to be noon, Dongfang Shiming and Jia Qian went in first to prepare for dinner, and then discussed with the owner about staying overnight.
The shop is a quiet wooden house, which is extremely cool and comfortable after entering. At this time when there were few travelers, there were usually few customers in the restaurant even at noon, so when the two of them entered the restaurant and found it empty, they were not surprised.
When I heard someone entering the store, a man quickly emerged from the back of the store. He looked like he was a waiter who was picking up customers.
Dongfang Shiming and Jia Qian found a random table and sat down. The man came over and asked them what they wanted to order.
"Fried rice, and then whatever dishes are available, preferably with meat. I'm almost starving to death." Jia Qian said as he took out money from his waist pocket, took out a small piece of shiny silver, and handed it over In the man's hands, "These should be enough, right?"
The man took the silver, weighed it slightly, and nodded to confirm.
Jia Qian turned back and asked Dongfang Shiming: "Brother Xian, do you want anything else? Just order whatever you want. Brother Yu is treating you this time."
Dongfang Shiming had been in a daze just now, and then he came to his senses when he heard Jia Qian calling him: "Oh, I don't need it, those are enough."
Jia Qian smiled and grinned at the man and said a few words of thanks. The man was unusually talkative. Seeing that the two of them had no other requests, he grabbed the money and went to the back hall.
Jia Qian held his cheeks happily, his stomach had been growling for a long time.
However, Dongfang Shiming was not so happy. He kept looking at the waiter, and his eyes gradually became dark and unpredictable.
What he had been looking at was the waiter's forehead. It has a different light color from the skin on other parts of the face, as if the forehead was wrapped by something before, which makes people suspicious.
The more Dongfang Shiming thought about it, the more cautious he became. He carefully observed every corner of the room, his eyes gradually becoming sharper, like an eagle's.
The moment he looked around at the checkout table, his eyes caught a rather strange message. There seemed to be some red paint marks on the corner of the table, but they were not very similar.
However, if it is human blood, it seems to be more similar.
Dongfang Shiming glanced at Jia Qian again. Jia Qian was completely unaware of the strange look, resting his chin on his raised wrist, quietly waiting for the meal to be served. Dongfang Shiming frowned, thinking that Jia Qian might not be too careless.
But he hasn't found conclusive evidence that this must be a trap, and he is still undecided.
At this moment, the waiter came back from the kitchen, holding a white porcelain bowl with steaming fried rice in one hand.
Dongfang Shiming pretended to be in a daze, but in fact he looked at the waiter up and down with the corner of his eye, trying to find any flaws in him.
With two crisp "clicks", the waiter put down their fried rice, turned around and walked back.
Finally, at the moment when he turned around, Dongfang Shiming keenly noticed a black turban strip exposed in the pocket of his trousers!
really. Dongfang Shiming confirmed his inner guess, but tensed up his nerves even more. He saw Jia Qian across the table holding up his rice bowl and about to start. He quickly raised his hand and held down Jia Qian's arm holding the rice bowl.
"How..." Jia Qian was held down by Dongfang Shiming's arm. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Dongfang Shiming stretch out his index finger and make a silencing gesture to him.
He quickly shut up and looked at what Dongfang Shiming wanted to express.
Dongfang Shiming poured a few drops of water from the teapot on the table, wiped away the water stains and wrote on the table:
"Evil, trap, run away."
Jia Qian read it word for word and was so horrified that he couldn't even close his mouth.
Seeing that he understood, Dongfang Shiming raised his sleeves and wiped the writing on the table.
At this time, the waiter came out again, carrying two plates of stir-fried vegetables. The two of them pretended that nothing had happened, took the dishes and put them on the table. The waiter immediately turned around and went back, leaving them alone in the restaurant.
Dongfang Shiming saw that the opportunity was not to be missed, and told Jia Qian not to make any noise, and prepared to run away.
The two of them carefully removed their seats, tiptoed out of the door, and successfully slipped out of the restaurant.
After walking ten or twenty steps, the two people immediately started running wildly. Dongfang Shiming saw that the road was too empty, so he grabbed Jia Qian and ran away to the path in the mountains.
The two of them used their strength. Dongfang Shiming helped Jia Qian hold the cage and ran a long way until he was out of breath.
At this time, the dense and quiet jungle lost its beauty. Although this kind of place is inaccessible, it is also a good place for an ambush. The two of them were exhausted and exhausted, so they slowly stopped and walked forward.
"What...what's going on?"
Only then did Jia Qian find some energy to ask Dongfang Shiming. Although he was panicked the whole time, he now wanted to understand the cause of the matter.
Dongfang Shiming briefly explained the clues there. Finally, he expressed his inference: "It seems that they don't understand your ability to eliminate evil scholars, so they thought of using Mongolian perspiration medicine, which is a safer method. After we finished eating the drugged meal, the poison took effect, We can only hold back."
"This, this, this, it's so scary..." Jia Qian rubbed his chest over and over again, recalling the situation where he almost fell into the tiger's mouth just now, and he was still a little shocked.
"Poor the original store owner, I'm afraid he has been brutally killed..." Dongfang Shiming looked up at the leaves in the forest and sighed quietly.
"You are going to die, so don't be sad for them!"
Suddenly, a loud bell-like shout came from not far away. Then there was a rush of hurried and chaotic footsteps, and the rustling sound was getting closer and closer to them.
Dongfang Shiming immediately became vigilant, while Jia Qian was so frightened that his calves began to tremble.
Soon, Dongfang Shiming saw the figure of the visitor. He tightened his cuffs and opened his body slightly, assuming a posture ready to fight the enemy.
The pursuer rounded the last thick tree trunk and came to the two men.
"Three...three people..." Jia Qian huddled behind Dongfang Shiming, shivering.
The man in the lead was their waiter just now. At this time, his black turban has been tied up again, and the muscles on his body are as knotted as cows. The two people following behind were also extremely strong, and the three of them coldly despised the two people in front of them.
At this time, their boss was the first to speak: "...Which of you two is the scholar who eliminates evil? Come out and die."
When Jia Qian heard this, he was immediately disappointed. He pursed his lips and was about to respond, when suddenly he heard Dongfang Shiming in front of him reply calmly:
"it's me."
