"When did you take the medicine?"
Wei Xi jumped off the chair, took out two thumb-thick ropes from his Qiankun bag, and skillfully tied the hands and feet of the two soldiers, "When you were arguing outside, you stopped with hooks and claws."
"Lian Goupu doesn't want soup, soup, or water. You're too angry to eat with them, so I drank in the tea." Wei Xi moved very quickly, and the two soldiers were tied up by her hands and feet. Along the way, Lian Goupi looked more and more familiar.
"My grandma tied pigs like this," Wei Xi patted the knotted rope, "It should be quite strong."
Lian Gouyi suddenly realized it, and Qin Feng admired Wei Xi very much.
"According to these two people, the river sacrifice will start in two days. I think Qin Feng didn't see them going back to report the news even though they were arguing like this. He probably didn't have any agreement with the county magistrate to report the safety." Wei Xi sat on the table again. , start eating.
"I plan to go to Huanhe to investigate later," Wei Xi ate quickly. At her age, she did nothing but three bowls of rice. "I want to see what's weird about Huanhe."
"Okay, but you can't even touch the water with your hook..."
Wei Xi interrupted Qin Feng, "You and Lian Gou Ni are here to watch these two people, while I go to Huanhe alone."
"No!" "Go early and come back early!"
Qin Feng glared hard at Lian Gou Ni, who had a relaxed expression on his face. The latter was very innocent.
"The water in Tangkou Town is still unknown. You have trouble protecting yourself now. How can I trust you to go to Huanhe River alone?" Qin Feng naturally takes good care of Wei Xi, and she is worried about Wei Xi's safety.
Wei Xichang gave Qin Feng a comforting smile, "I will be careful. Besides, the people of Tangkou Town are not afraid of the Huanhe River. There is probably no danger there."
Seeing Qin Feng gradually loosen up, Wei Xi added, "These two people still need someone to guard them. Let's not mention the county government for the moment. There is also the waiter downstairs who doesn't know who we are or what is the enemy. Lian Goupi hasn't recovered his strength yet, so you have to stay." Come down and take care of me.”
Lian Gouyi cooperated very well and coughed twice.
"You are exhausted, not your throat!" Qin Feng said angrily.
Lian Gouyi quickly persuaded her, "What Wei Xi said makes sense. Besides, Wei Xi was the one who turned the tide in the secret realm last time. I think it would affect her performance if you and I did such a brain-intensive job!"
Qin Feng was persuaded by two ears and three mouths, and finally lost the battle and agreed to Wei Xi going to Huanhe River alone at night.
"Wei Xi, you are really like this," Lian Goupi gave a thumbs up, "I came up with the idea of role-playing before entering the town. Now that their attention is on Qin Feng and me, it would be unattractive for you to inquire. Pay attention.”
The idea was finalized and the meal was almost done. Qin Feng dragged the people Wei Xi tied up to a corner and moved two more chairs over to create a stronghold for tonight.
"What medicine did you give them?" Qin Feng asked, looking at the two people who were sleeping soundly.
Hearing this, Wei Xi poked her head to look at the two people who were tightly bound by her, "I bought the medicine from Senior Brother Wei. I said it should be something that can stun people, not something too expensive, so he gave me a bottle of medicine. , saying that it is still being tested, and the effect of the drug may not be stable.”
"Wei An? I heard that he is very good at refining medicine. This medicine should be good." It has been two months since Lian Gou Ni joined the Qingcheng Sect, but Senior Brother Wei is addicted to making money, and he has only heard of Senior Brother Wei's deeds.
Wei Xi hesitated and said, "Senior Brother Wei said that there is a medicine in it that is from the fish raised by Chen Shuangli. He also said that it was not very effective. So I spent two medium-grade spiritual stones to get this bottle of medicine."
"That's indeed unstable," Qin Feng replied truthfully, thinking of the strange fish in Chen Shuangli's yard, "This time it's a mistake."
Wei Xi felt a little guilty. After all, he didn't have much money on hand, so he spent some money carefully to buy this bottle of medicine. He really couldn't guarantee the effectiveness of the medicine. Seeing that the two people hadn't woken up, he was already worried about the dosage.
Fortunately, although the two of them were still unconscious, they were still breathing, and Wei Xi had not been killed yet.
It was already dark now, and Wei Xi took the talisman and elixir that Qin Feng had given her and climbed out of the window.
People on the street in Tangkou Town were anxious to go home, making Wei Xi not so conspicuous. The city gate has been closed for a long time now, and Wei Xi will not go to the city gate to ask for trouble.
When Wei Xi first arrived at Tangkou Town, he paid attention to the wide Huan River at the gate of the city. There were no gold mining tools on the river beach.
But the big-mouthed waiter's words and Cheng Xiancheng's gold reminded Wei that there were still gold sands in Tangkou Town.
Tangkou Town is a small town. Although it controls the Longhu Mountain Pass, it is located in the hinterland of Suzhou. There has been no war for more than a hundred years, and the walls of Tangkou Town are not high.
Wei Xi was more accustomed to climbing over walls than walking through the door, even though she was shorter now, but Qin Feng turned the flying claw out and gave it to her.
In the past, Wei Xi might not have been able to throw it accurately, but she was also a monk practicing Qi, so the flying claw was thrown onto the wall.
When Wei Xi climbed up the wall, he was extremely envious of Qin Feng. He could climb the wall in just a few steps. His physical fitness and martial arts skills were really strong.
But Wei Xi, who was lying flat, would never think about exercising or practicing hard when his life was in danger.
So she just stayed at the level of envy. If she really wanted to study hard like Qin Feng, that would be a dead end.
Wei Xi turned her flying claw back and was about to go down the rope. She was riding on the city wall and saw some people patrolling the river beach in the distance holding torches.
Wei Xi quickly climbed down the rope and immediately retracted his flying claws after landing.
In order not to attract attention, Wei Xi deliberately hunched her body and hid in the wild grass about half a person's height. She slowly approached the river. She also grabbed a handful of mud and smeared it on her face to prevent anyone from recognizing her.
Wei Xi was sneaking among the weeds, trying her best not to make any noise. Fortunately, she also burrowed in and out of the grass when she was in Tianshui Village.
After drilling like this for a while, Wei Xi suddenly realized that this place was a little too quiet.
There was not even a cricket chirping in such a big bush, and Wei Xi could only hear the sound of the river.
Thinking of what happened in the secret realm, Wei Xi held down the dagger in his sleeve and resisted the urge to lift his feet.
Wei Xi cautiously approached the place where the patrols were patrolling. As she got closer, she realized that the patrols were wearing the same clothes as the soldiers in the county government. Wei Xi made a rough calculation and found that including people from the county government, there could be fifty or sixty soldiers in Tangkou Town.
How could such a small town use so many soldiers?
Moreover, based on the observation results of the three of them leaning against the window, the population of Tangkou Town is really not that large.
"It's really annoying. I only have one night shift every ten days!"
Wei Xi hurriedly stayed still and half-crouched in the grass, listening to the exchanges between these soldiers.
"There will be one shift tomorrow night, one shift the day after tomorrow, and there is also a river festival the day after tomorrow, so we will only have to stay up for three more nights."
The complaining soldier was now only a little more than ten feet away from Wei Xi. Wei Xi was grateful for the thick weeds by the river.
"I'm going to have a look around the room where the sacrifices are prepared later. It's not enough trouble."
"Only by offering sacrifices to the river can the town produce gold. Isn't it good to work hard these few nights?"
As the sound gradually faded away, Wei Xi made a note of the place where sacrifices were prepared nearby, and planned to go and have a look later.
The opportunity must not come back again. Wei Xi saw the opportunity and approached the river beach where the soldiers were patrolling.
There was no one on the river beach at this time, the bright moon was in the sky, and it was silent.
Wei Xi thought he had found the gold in Tangkou Town.
To be precise, it is the golden river beach in Tangkou Town.
The river beach facing Tangkou Town on the Huan River is the first bend of the Huan River at the mouth of the mountain. The moonlight shines on the water and the stars flow on the river beach.
And those immobile stars are gold nuggets, large and small, sinking to the bottom of the water.
Only now did Wei Xi know what "one water and gold" meant.
It turned out that someone reminded them that all the gold in Tangkou Town was on the river beach.
