Zhao Qian and Li Yiran were looking for Zhang Meng and passed many shops and houses along the way.
Without exception, the doors of the shops were closed, and there were only one or two people scattered on the streets in front of the houses.
After the two walked for a long time and still could not find any trace of the two people, Zhao Qian chose to contact the NPC for the second time.
This NPC is not a helpless child, but a slightly stronger young man.
The young man, who also had fair skin and was dressed simply, was sitting under a torch on the roadside, his head lowered, concentrating on whittling the wood in his hand.
The knife flew in his hand, its sharp edge showing in the firelight.
Sawdust was shaken off and flew into the air, gathering in piles on the ground.
Zhao Qian held an oil lamp in his hand and slowly approached the young man.
His face no longer had the arrogance and arrogance before, but instead showed a polite expression, and he asked politely: "Hello, may I ask you something?"
Looking at Zhao Qian who was bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, Li Yiran's face was filled with an unclear expression, as if he was saying that it was really disgusting.
Hearing this, the young man stopped what he was doing, looked up at Zhao Qian and responded.
"Um."
His expression could not be said to be vicious or unkind, but it had nothing to do with friendliness.
Zhao Qian's eyes flashed, and he was extremely dissatisfied.
In fact, there are only a limited number of people he can meet on the street. Otherwise, according to his habits, it would be impossible to choose an NPC that is not easy to mess with at first glance.
Even if I think so in my heart, my words are completely different.
There was a friendly smile on the corner of the mouth, intending to shorten the distance between each other.
"Did you see two people dressed similar to us passing by together? One man is taller and has solid muscles, and the other man is very thin and has acne on his face..."
Zhao Qian had a simple and honest smile as he gestured and described.
Before he finished speaking, the young man understood and quickly answered his question.
"Yes, I have seen it. The two people you mentioned went that way."
He raised the hand holding the knife and pointed forward to the right.
Then, he lowered his head casually, and without stopping, he started whittling the wood.
Zhao Qian took advantage of the moment when the other party lowered his head and glared at the arrogant young man.
Then his tone rose, and he thanked her with gratitude: "Okay, thank you."
The young man repeated the act of whittling wood and added in a calm tone.
"You're welcome, those two people just left not long ago."
After getting the key information, Zhao Qian became visibly excited.
"let's go."
Li Yiran nodded in agreement.
-
Xin Zhixia kept a close eye on the backs of the two people. After they turned the corner, she emerged from the darkness around the corner and followed the footsteps of the two people in front of them.
The young man turned a deaf ear and concentrated on whittling wood.
Such a serious attitude attracted Xin Zhixia's attention.
When passing by, it is inevitable to take another look at the wood in the NPC's hand.
This piece of wood has been chipped with concave parts in the east and convex parts in the west, which is really confusing.
I have no idea what shape I want to cut it into.
But the young man's skillful movements made her feel that he was indeed a carver.
Since she couldn't tell, Xin Zhixia simply didn't think much about it and just silently cursed in her heart.
"The aesthetic orientation of this carving really makes you worry about your livelihood."
It wasn't until Xin Zhixia's back disappeared from sight that the young man raised his head and glanced in the direction the player left.
Then he stood up and patted the scraps of wood on himself rather casually.
Take out your cleaning tools and try to clean up the sawdust on the ground.
Interestingly, the way young adults clean up sawdust is to clean the upper half and leave the lower half.
"Bata Bata"
The children came to the young adults, squatted down, and helped organize the tools next to them.
"Brother, let me help you."
The young man raised his eyes and shook his head helplessly.
"No, just go and wait in front."
The child waved his hand and explained quite easily: "I'm not in a hurry this time, there will still be some time."
The young man glanced at the purple bruise on the child's forehead, sighed quietly, and did not refuse the other party's kindness.
The child grabbed the piece of wood that the young man had just whittled, looked at it for a moment, and then asked in confusion.
"Brother, what are you cutting?"
The young man was silent for a while and answered truthfully.
"It's so annoying that I have no patience. I cut it casually this time."
There was unspeakable embarrassment in the words.
-
Li Yiran and Zhao Qian followed the young man's prompts and walked forward quickly.
In the middle of the process, Zhao Qian suddenly stopped and said to Li Yiran, "I'm going to the toilet."
Li Yiran was stunned and subconsciously replied: "Where is the toilet here? Why didn't I see it?"
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Qian laughed loudly, with a lewd and teasing look on his face.
Li Yi then realized it, his cheeks instantly turned red, and he waved his hand awkwardly.
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
Zhao Qian smiled wildly, holding an oil lamp in one hand, pointing to the dark and closed alley next to him with the other hand, and then slipped in while covering his crotch.
Li Yiran, who stayed where he was, looked gloomy.
"It's so shameless."
After the soft curse in his mouth, the curse in his heart could not stop.
It's really disgusting.
Fortunately, this shameless person knew to speak up in advance and find a place where no one was watching to solve the problem.
As if venting her anger, Li Yiran pounded the ground with her shoes, waiting for someone to solve her physical problem.
The time in the bracelet has stood still, and the waiting time cannot be calculated in detail.
All I know is that after a long time, Zhao Qian finally walked out of the alley.
Li Yiran said impatiently: "Okay? Let's go quickly."
Zhao Qian nodded blankly.
The two took a few steps forward, and Li Yiran realized that there was an object missing from Zhao Qian's hand.
She asked slightly casually: "Where is the oil lamp?"
Zhao Qian was stunned, thought for a moment, and replied: "There is light here, so there is no need."
Li Yiran didn't notice any difference and just nodded.
-
Xin Zhixia, like Li Yiran, was also bored and waiting in the dark.
After the two walked away, looking at Zhao Qian with nothing in his hands, she couldn't help but feel a move in her heart.
"There are no oil lamps that come back automatically."
After sighing silently, Xin Zhixia clicked her tongue, shook her head, and walked straight towards the dark alley.
Her intention was simple.
Place the oil lamp at the intersection to increase the probability that children can find it.
However, after Xin Zhixia turned into the alley, she ran away with eyes wide open in just one second.
His heart was pounding so hard that he was almost scared to say a curse word.
What a horror story.
There is also a Zhao Qian in this alley.
Zhao Qian carrying an oil lamp.
