When the lanterns came on, Xie Nanshi stood at the door of the incense and candle shop again.
He walked very quickly and visited the entire town in one day, but of course he found nothing. The incense shop was the first place where he noticed his resentment. He thought it was just a remnant. But in this small town where the White Walkers couldn't feel any resentment in front of him, it seemed extremely strange.
So he came back here again, but he didn't rush forward. Instead, he turned his back and said something indifferently.
"Come out."
Following Jie Nanshi's voice, Du Anchen poked his head out from behind a wall. To be precise, the giant sword she held had already betrayed her position.
Du Anchen still had a smile on her face. This woman in red, who always spoke coldly, had a much gentler attitude when facing Jie Nanshi than when she faced her boss Song Yu: "You also think there is a problem here? "
Xie Nanshi did not let her change the subject: "Girl, you have been with me for a day. What do you mean?"
"Of course I'm afraid that you are in danger. I'm not like that Song Yu, who ordered you all night and didn't care about your life or death." Du Anchen said confidently, "It's too dangerous for you to come here alone."
"Where I am is my own business and has nothing to do with the girl."
This sentence blocked Du Anchen's throat. She lowered her eyes and said nothing, and the two of them stood outside the coffin-like incense shop with no windows and a locked door for a moment. Finally, Du Anchen couldn't hold himself back: "Do you want me to help you..."
As she said that, she made a gesture of kicking the door.
Xie Nanshi had no intention of dealing with the Department of Peace. He was just waiting for Du Anchen to leave, but if she didn't leave, Xie Nanshi wouldn't stop doing what he wanted to do. Seeing that no one was approaching from the left and right sides of the alley, he took a step forward and quietly landed on the eaves, moving as lightly and gracefully as a cat.
He bent down and lifted up a tile, and the unique smell of the incense shop rushed out from the small gap. There was still no light inside.
Xie Nanshi looked intently, and with the faint moonlight that poured into the shop, he could see clearly with his current eyesight - the incense and candle shop was still in a mess, and the shopkeeper was nowhere to be seen. However, a faint sense of resentment lingered within it, but it was difficult to identify the source.
Xie Nanshi was not in a hurry to enter, he was just waiting. He had cleared up all the grievances here before, but in such a short period of time, the incense shop had returned to its old ways, which was not normal. Du Anchen, who was waiting below, didn't expect Nanshi to come down, but actually jumped up and stayed by his side.
She was originally staring at Xie Nanshi, but after noticing Xie Nanshi's displeasure, she also lifted two tiles to hide it. This revelation really led to a discovery. She immediately pressed Jie Nanshi's shoulder and motioned him to come and take a look at her.
…
The largest wine shop in Qinghe Town is Qinghelou, which is two stories high. The upper floor is hung with red lanterns, and the inside of the store is also covered with red carpets, which is bright and eye-catching. After all, it is a small town, and even the most expensive restaurants will look a bit rustic.
It was dinner time, and the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant was full of people. When Song Yu came in, he felt like he was in a downtown area, with people from all walks of life. There were people drinking and punching, and even playing dice. Waiters carrying wine and food mingled with beauties carrying chips. It can only be said that the people in this poor place have no fear, or
The limitations of the PC, even though a White Walker appeared the day before yesterday, it has no impact at all on the people here eating and drinking.
"Is the game just merging the two places into one to save trouble?" Song Yu shook his folding fan and couldn't help but muttered a few words. Then he raised his legs and walked up the stairs. At the same time, he turned around and asked Qiaoyi softly behind him: " Where is Xie Nanshi? He's not back yet?"
Qiaoyi shook her head. That Jie Nanshi had not come back since he left the Safety Department early in the morning.
Song Yu put away the folding fan and reached the second floor in a few steps. There was only one big table upstairs, and a simple partition was used to barely block the hustle and bustle downstairs. At this time, the big table was full of guests, leaving only the top seat.
It seemed that he respected him as the new manager, but Song Yu's footsteps were loud. The group of people should have heard it, but no one got up. It was only after he coughed deliberately that the chief clerk sitting next to him seemed to realize that someone was coming, and stood up with a smile: "My lord, you are here."
Originally, before Song Yu came to Qinghe Town, there was not much difference between the old master and the Tu Emperor. What's more, when the Song Dynasty came, they also brought the strange ghosts with them, and the resentment became even deeper. That's right, the old bookkeeper put the blame for the appearance of the White Walkers on Song Yu's head, and even brought the local squires to boycott him, the new manager from out of town.
During Song Yu's first game, he didn't pay attention to management at all. Apart from eating and sleeping, he was also receiving upgrade tasks. The old chief clerk didn't have much chance to show his face in front of him. How could he know that Old Zhou had such a big interest in him? Resentment.
"Yes, here we come." Song Yu was not stupid, he knew that this was the Hongmen Banquet. But in the final analysis, this group of people is just a group of NPCs. Except for the old master who used to falsely pass on Commander Ping An to benefit himself, no one present was familiar to Squire Song Yu.
Song Yu felt quite regretful about this. He vaguely remembered that during the first episode, Qinghe killed a well-known local noble. It was later found out that it was the work of a strange ghost. However, he did not want to solve the case at the time, so he just killed him there. As for the mission, I can’t tell who is the unlucky guy at the moment.
Song Yu walked towards the main seat calmly, his eyes scanning back and forth on the people present several times. Since the system's entry auxiliary function was blocked, Song Yu could not check the character status of these non-teammate NPCs one by one, but he could still roughly identify the level differences of these people. Especially the leader, not to mention everyone else who stood up to greet him, he was the only one who still acted like he was sitting down, and the other party's modeling was different from the others.
He was a middle-aged man with a gentle appearance, and his clothes were much more exquisite than those of the townspeople in Qinghe Town, some of which looked like Zhongdu styles. He twirled the ring on his thumb steadily, and when he noticed Song Yu's gaze, he nodded slowly, as if he was about to get up.
Song Yu took the initiative to greet him without waiting for him to speak, took the other person's hand and squeezed it passionately: "Is this Mr. Qi?"
Qi Huai raised his eyebrows and calmly took his hand out: "Have you ever heard of me?"
"Of course, Mr. Qi's name is resounding throughout Qinghe Town." Song Yu raised his hand and waved: "What are you standing for? Everyone, please sit down." After saying this, he lifted up his clothes and sat down first. , Qiaoyi stood quietly behind him.
Several squires looked at each other, and subconsciously looked at Qi Huai, who was still standing. Qi Huai smiled and sat down, and then the remaining people took their seats one by one.
Song Yu saw this in his eyes and couldn't help but sneer. Are this large group of people here performing a palace fight? But not to mention the unpredictable future of Qinghe Town, even if it is really magnificent, Song Yu, as a player who does not belong to this world, cannot accompany them to fight. Seeing others hiding their knives in their smiles, Song Yu didn't mind pretending to be a pig for a while: "It seems that Mr. Qi's influence is extraordinary."
Qi Huai still smiled kindly: "I don't dare to take it seriously. I'm just grateful for everyone's concern." After saying this, he motioned to the waiter waiting aside to serve the food, and he looked like a hero entertaining guests throughout the whole process.
The old bookkeeper took the opportunity to add: "Without Mr. Qi, Qinghe Town would not have paved roads and carriages would not be able to enter. Although it is a town, it is no different from a village. Therefore, everyone is grateful for Mr. Qi's contribution."
The other merchants and squires smiled all the time when they talked about Qi Huai, as if they were following Qi Huai's lead. The look he glanced at Song Yu was filled with contempt and even some pity. Song Yuquan pretended not to notice and already stretched out his chopsticks to the pile of chickens closest to him.
[Your level is not high enough to take this delicacy, please practice again~]
The sweet system prompts said the cruelest words, and Song Yu's face suddenly froze. He had been so busy investigating the White Walkers in the past two days that he completely forgot that the delicacies in "Meeting the Gods" were actually various enhancement potions, and there were level restrictions on their use. It seems that the food made by Qiaoyi has no gain but no limit? Song Yu was grateful for the first time in his heart that he had risked his life to save the other party outside the town.
Look at the dishes on the table - saliva chicken, pepper stuffed pork, stir-fried shredded eel with chives... Song Yu's mind was forced to fall silent, and there was an inexplicable hint of despair. As a result, he seemed even more out of place amidst the praise for Qi Huai at the table. Finally, amidst the praise, he couldn't help but sigh and put down his chopsticks.
The scene suddenly became quiet, but everyone's expressions showed excitement that could not be concealed.
These people were all waiting to see Song Yu, unable to bear the air of being ostracized, put on a show of "knowing, knowing how much he weighed", and then left in anger. Qi Huai glanced at Song Yu lightly and thought that this man was indeed still young and energetic, and his expression became more and more calm: "What do you think Mr. Song has to say?"
"I don't have a lecture. Can I have a bowl of soup noodles?" Song Yu was despairing. It seemed that he could only take the most basic "little medicine", and there was no gain after taking it. Playing a game and he actually felt miserable while playing it!
Everyone was stunned, wondering what kind of medicine this new little adult was selling in his gourd. In the end, it was Qi Huai who made the decision and actually asked the kitchen to make a bowl of plain noodles and presented it to him.
The mellow and warm soup entered his mouth, which somewhat soothed Song Yu's wounded soul. While people were wondering what Song Yu meant by doing this, or whispering to each other after watching a joke, Song Yu asked abruptly while slurping his noodles: "I'm a newbie here, so my understanding of Qinghe Town is far less detailed than Mr. Qi's. Could you please ask Mr. Qi?" Answer my question - where do you think the White Walkers outside this town come from? Well, this soup is pretty good!"
Song Yu took a big sip of the soup, and when he put down the bowl, he saw Qi Huai twitching the corners of his mouth, and his originally gentle smile was a little embarrassing.
Hey, this is the effect you want. Song Yu responded with a hearty smile.
