Chapter 3: Day is a world of humans(1/2)
Yu Xing waited in the medicine garden for a while, and finally waited for Ren Yi.
After washing up, the other party was obviously much more comfortable, and even his steps were much lighter, his long hair was still half wet. He took a towel and wiped it while walking towards Yu Xing.
"The ancients were really troublesome." Before Yu Xing could speak, Ren Yi couldn't help but sigh.
He was too lazy to even cut his hair in the research institute, and Zeng Lai had to urge him. Unexpectedly, he had to take care of his long hair after entering the deduction, which was really annoying.
"Hmm." Yu Xing didn't comment. When he woke up, his hair was dry, and the caring deputy captain had already solved all unnecessary troubles for him.
"Where are we waiting?" Ren Yi asked.
Although there has been no mention of alliance, but the situation has developed to this point, cooperation is a foregone conclusion.
"Go to Xishi." Yu Xing shared the information he had just gotten from the two apprentices: "That Master Feng held a birthday party three days later. It is said that many businessmen in Xishi received invitations. Let's go and see what these merchants are doing."
"So, it sounds like Mr. Feng's birthday party is a major event that affects the entire Fengtou Town." Ren Yi thought for a moment, "The mission we are looking for witches is also three days, and there should be unknown connections. We can indeed use this matter as a breakthrough."
The two hit it off and set off immediately.
They left the back door of Baishoutang and went back to the street where the front door was, and found that the clinic was located in a very prosperous area, with a large restaurant and a wealthy businessman's mansion not far away.
The door of the clinic is open, and you can see Zhao Mou sitting in front of the clinic, evading the patient's pulse in a human form.
"He is also good at medical skills?" Ren Yi was a little confused.
"... Maybe he has a little understanding." Yu Xing tilted his head. If he talked about medical skills, Zhao Mou must be a novice, but it is not ruled out that he has learned about this knowledge. As long as there are no patients with too difficult and complicated diseases, he should be able to do it for two or three days without revealing it.
As long as the identity of "Doctor Zhao" is stable, Baishoutang can become a stronghold for the deducers, and it must be much safer than the Song Dynasty's Zhao State.
The two chatted in a low voice, and soon left the entrance of the clinic, which was filled with the smell of medicine and depression.
The ancient city walls were generally smaller than modern ones, and the western city was only a few streets away.
Soon, the two stepped into the western market and instantly felt a different business atmosphere than elsewhere.
There are lanterns of all sizes hanging in front of the doors of shops, with pedestrians and women hanging around. Except for a few young people who are luxuriously dressed, more ordinary people dressed simply, and they can't tell what they are doing.
A middle-aged man seemed to have just finished his work today and stopped in front of the pastry shop with a smile. Yu Xing listened casually. The man said he wanted to "be the same as before". The owner immediately bought a few pieces of osmanthus cakes and horseshoe cakes, laughing at him for being so nice to his wife and bringing pastries home every week.
On the other side, several beggars were lying in the corner and fighting for a piece of begging for the beggars. The bread rolled around on the ground a few times, and finally they were scrambled to pieces by beggars.
The shopkeeper of the ready-to-wear shop was idle, so he moved a small stool and sat in front of the shop to bask in the sun, and chatted with the carpenter next door.
Everything that catches your eye is so normal, it's a bit abnormal.
Yu Xing walked around a few times and locked in several targets.
His height is also very eye-catching. Unlike Nie Lang, as long as he wants, he can make himself look friendly and polite. When others see him, they will only sigh, "What a handsome man, I don't know where he comes from?" instead of "This damn person won't smash my shop."
So, although many people noticed him, he did not arouse much alertness.
He therefore found several people related to "Master Feng's birthday".
First of all, there was the shopkeeper in the restaurant. Several people in the restaurant talked about the birthday of the year. The shopkeeper showed off his pride: "My boss also received the invitation, and he prepared the birthday gift two weeks in advance!"
The second is the owner of the pawn shop. The middle-aged boss with a big belly probably came to the store to check the accounts. After the shopkeeper handed the account book to him, the middle-aged boss was not in a hurry to check it. Instead, he looked at an antique vase in the store and murmured: "The birthday gift I prepared was slightly cheaper, but the newly collected vase was good, so I had to change the gift list."
There are as many as five families like this, just what Yu Xing overheard.
Ren Yi went shopping from the end of the street alone and met with Yu Xing and confirmed: "This place looks fine on the surface, but it's actually very strange. These people, especially the wealthy businessmen, seem to have an excessive respect for Master Feng. I just saw someone who made his wealth a famous name for Master Feng. It was simply fanatical."
"Yes." A trace of interest flashed in Yu Xing's eyes, he aimed at the restaurant, pulled Ren Yi in.
He had a bag of broken silver in his arms - this was the money he carried with him, not much or less, but it was more than enough to have a few meals.
As soon as he walked into the restaurant, the clever waiter whispered: "Two guests! Have something to eat!"
What Yu Xing wanted was him. The waiter was too cheerful and talked a lot. He could talk a few words with guests at any table, and probably could have some clues.
After ordering a few dishes that were not cheap, Yu Xing looked idle and pretended to be coincidental and heard the discussion of Mr. Feng’s birthday on the next table, and then he was curious.
"Waiter, what's going on with the birthday they mentioned? I and my friends have just traveled here and have heard of this among many people. Could it be that everyone in the city wants to attend this birthday?"
When the waiter heard this, he was excited: "Your guest, please ask the right person. Although this birthday is Mr. Feng's own business, he cares about it! Mr. Feng will submit posts to the big families in the city every year during his birthday. It has nothing to do with us ordinary people and cannot resist everyone's enthusiasm."
He wiped the towel and squid on the shoulders, and Yu Xing placed a piece of silver on the table at the right time. The waiter immediately smiled and hid the silver.
"When it comes to Master Feng, it's amazing. Our Fengtou Town used to be flooded. There were many people who died in three or five years of disasters."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "About six years ago, Mr. Feng moved home with his family. It was a flood that had not been seen in a century. What do you think? There is a powerful figure among the people brought by Mr. Feng. It is quite mysterious. We all called him "Master Wanban". At Master Feng's instructions, Master Wanban forced the flood back!"
Yu Xing and Ren Yi looked at each other.
They unlocked the new character - the "Masters of Wanbian" known to Mr. Feng.
Ren Yi, who is also a master, interrupted in time: "What is 'holding back the flood'?"
"At that time, the water was almost flooded into the city. Whether it was the rich businessmen or the ordinary people, they were afraid of death! Master Feng stepped forward and went to the banks of the Yejiang River with Master Wanban. No one knew what they did. After one day and one night, the water retreated!"
Xiao Er's voice was full of affection, which attracted the attention of the guests on both sides and the guests also spoke, "Yes, that's the case!"
"It seems that the wealthy businessmen knew that there was a man named Master. When the flood came, they prepared a great gift and went to Master Feng's mansion and invited the person out!"
The waiter laughed dryly and immediately added: "Yes, at that time, the rich people didn't want their family business to be damaged. I didn't know where to get the news. They forced all the staff to ask for the masters, but fortunately they asked for it."
"Masters and Master Feng are amazing. Not only did they retreat from the flood, but after that, Yejiang never flooded our Fengtou Town again, and they are safe to this day."
Yu Xing showed a sudden admiration and said, "So that's it. To put it this way, Master Wanban is a great hero who saved the whole city. It's really a strange person. But why do you rarely hear Master Wanban's name after entering the city, but you just talk about Master Feng?"
"Well..." Xiaoer scratched his head, "Master Wanban once said that his practice needs to be pure, so he doesn't want anyone to say anything about him, so we rarely call him by his name. Hehe, isn't this a way to tell the guest official? Otherwise, I wouldn't mention the master."
Perhaps the money given by Yu Xing was very valuable to the waiter. He thought about it and said, "Many people have thought of asking Master Wanban to go home, but Master Wanban is only loyal to Master Feng. Therefore, anyone who wants to curry favor with Master Feng must first curry favor with Master Feng. Now, when Master Feng’s birthday is the time for you to show off."
The common people have no chance to enter the palace to celebrate their birthday.
But wealthy businessmen are different. Every year, wealthy businessmen compete for limited famous posts. Anyone who can go to the mansion to eat a table has the opportunity to meet the Masters. In life and business confusion, you can understand it from Masters.
After all, Master Feng is just a name.
The wealthy businessmen in the city flattered and respected them, actually the masters hidden under the reputation of Grandpa Feng.
Over time, Mr. Feng's reputation became more and more popular, and legends were circulated among the people.
The people were naturally aroused curiosity, but most of them knew only one thing but not the other, and they also followed a few words about Master Feng, just to join in the fun.
After the waiter explained the whole story clearly, a guest entered the restaurant again. He smiled and said to Yu Xing: "I don't know these things. I don't know about those from other places. There is no need to explain them too clearly, but since you are curious, I will not serve you?"
"Your food will come soon. I'll go to work first. If you have any questions, please call me."
The waiter's figure disappeared, and the guests around him saw that they could not hear it, and they all took their attention away.
Yu Xing chuckled: "This waiter knows a lot, and he is a melon-eating person on the surface, but in fact he expresses his emotions inside and outside. "
"Well, he said that the people did not have the chance to enter the mansion to celebrate their birthday. Even the wealthy businessmen had to prepare expensive gifts to compete for the birthday quota. This was saying that Mr. Feng took the opportunity to make money." Ren Yi took a sip of the hot tea that the waiter had just brought, and said expressionlessly, "It's interesting."
"It is a legend for masters to control water. Whether it is true or false, it is a foregone conclusion to take the opportunity to make money. If we were really tourists, after listening to his words, we would probably only make a three-pointer of Master Feng's achievements, but instead we would be angry at their arrogance and methods of making money."
Yu Xing tapped his fingers casually on the table, and his high ponytail was loosely placed on his shoulders: "Then do you think that the waiter's attitude represents personal selfishness, or the truth that ordinary people in Fengtou Town have suppressed for a long time?"
"Maybe there are both?" Ren Yidao, "There is not enough data, I don't want to make a conclusion."
They pry out information about an important role, and the barrage in the live broadcast room began to analyze it.
[I smelled the breath of conspiracy. Could the one who can unconsciously send the characters of the deducers to the stage world be the masters?]
[I also feel that six years ago, all the masters actually retreated from the flood. Using human power to interfere with the laws of nature, there are always people who need to suffer. Think about the situation under the Yejiang River in the stage world. There are so many water ghosts and so many people who died... I began to be afraid of my brothers.]
[Not necessarily. Could it be that the waiter is interfering with the deducer's sight?]
[What if he deliberately said Grandpa Feng and Master Wanban to someone who only recognizes money, which makes the deducer suspicious? In fact, Master Wanban retreated from the flood, isn’t this the most straightforward hint - can Master Wanban help the deducer resist Jiang Chong?]
[It is also possible, but no one objected to the fact that all masters are important roles, right? It was only the first afternoon, and with more than two days left, Yu Xing and the others will definitely find out more.]
After that, Yu Xing and Ren Yi had a meal honestly.
To be honest, the dishes in this restaurant are really average, but you can eat with peace of mind during the deduction, and don’t worry about the raw materials for the food, eyeballs, hair, etc., which is already very good.
After leaving the restaurant, it was already dark.
The ancients worked at sunrise and sunset. When it was dark, people from all walks of life who had been busy for most of the day were planning to go home, or were already walking home, and the number of people on the streets became short-term and quickly depressed.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! There is no late episode today, so Yu Xing plans to go to Song Mansion first and then find an inn to stay in.
After all, they can't really sleep on the bed in the clinic.
"You want to find Zhao Yijiu?" Ren Yi noticed his movements.
"Well, we learned about Master Wanban, and they might have discovered it." Yu Xing didn't trust the Song Mansion very much, because the Song Mansion was obviously also among the wealthy businessmen, and the owners of the Song Mansion were also flocking to Master Wanban.
