After the fairy disappeared

After reading the battle report, He Lingchuan stared at the ivy on the wall in a daze.

Today, there are only 21 members of the Takigawa gang, big and small.

With the annexation by the Xixiang Puppet Army inside and the suppression by the Yuheng City Army outside, under such a mixed double fight, life for the water bandits has been very difficult recently.

There are only 50 of the more than 21 gangs left, tsk tsk, the number is still too many, should he push it again?
"Boss." Hu Min came.

He Lingchuan didn't respond, so he repeated it again.

"People found."

He Lingchuan concentrated on what he said: "In Bantou Town?"

"It's on Pu Tiao Street, the old street of Yuheng City."

He Lingchuan smiled: "I'm not small, it's right under our noses." What is this picture, exciting?
"How long has it been open?"

"It's been seven or eight years."

"Let's go and meet him for tea."

He, Hu Min, and A Luo put on their regular clothes and headed for Pu Tiao Street.

This street is about ten feet behind the main street.The construction of New Yuheng City is horizontal and vertical, extending in all directions, and Putiao Street is also popular, with many adults and children coming and going.The shops here are not as grand as the main street, and there are no big restaurants or inns. They mainly sell pastries, preserved fruits, groceries from the north and the south, and there are also some small hotels.If you know how to search, you can find a lot of good things here.

Hu Min walked to the front of a shop and signaled to He Lingchuan: "Here we are."

This store is not big, and there is a cloth banner hanging at the door, swaying in the wind, with "Nangang good things" written on it.

Yuheng City likes to use "Haowu" as the store name here, which is similar to the "XX Grocery Store" that He Lingchuan is familiar with.

It happened to be evening at this moment, and some shops on the street were closing.This "Nangang Haowu" also closed two doors, leaving only one for entry and exit. The convention means that the door will be closed within a quarter of an hour or two.

The three of them walked in and saw that there was a wide variety of goods here, and indeed most of them were from Baisha Port in the south.Placed at the C position in the store is a group of palm-sized dolls, with lifelike eyebrows and eyes, and even the clothes in buns are exquisitely crafted.The most interesting thing is that the dolls are not simply placed in a row, but rely on a set of landscape scenery, as if each little doll has a story.

Arlo was attracted by several translucent resin jars on the shelf, which contained medicinal materials.

Hu Min turned around a little, and said to He Lingchuan in a low voice: "There is not a single contraband on display. There is indeed a problem with this store."

Some things are banned from sale in Yuheng City, not to mention high explosives, addictive drugs, weapons, weapons, etc., but a kind of candy called "Sweet Vine" from Baishawan, which is colorful but easy to rot Teeth, but children especially love to eat them.Most grocery stores will bootleg a little to increase their profits, this one does not at all.

He Lingchuan nodded.

Not selling contraband means that this store is afraid of being checked and noticed, and it also means that it has a lot of profits.

The curtain of the back hall was lifted, and the shopkeeper came out, and the voice came:
"Several customers, what are you looking for? We have a complete range of goods here."

He had just eaten, and the oil on his mouth was not wiped clean.

Hu Min pointed to He Lingchuan: "He wants to buy Selaginella chinensis, do you have any here?"

The owner was taken aback.

Dragon Scale Selaginella is a special herb produced in Beijia, which can be refined into "Selaginella Dan", which makes men look great.It was expensive in Beqa, and even more so here.

But no matter who buys this thing, they come alone quietly, wishing to go in and out without being seen by outsiders, how can they be in groups like this?
He Lingchuan said angrily: "Listen to his nonsense! I want to buy a doll for my little niece, how much do you pay for it?"

He pointed to the signature products in the store, and the owner smiled and said, "That's an exhibit, it's only on display and not for sale. I still have a few dolls here, can you take a look?"

"Okay." He Lingchuan and A Luo followed him and walked back. Hu Min was still wandering around in the store, but actually guarded the door.

A Luo took two steps and asked, "Where is the thatched building, I'm anxious."

"Go out the back door and turn left."

Arlo hurried away.

The owner took out a few dolls from the back cabinet, which were also exquisite.He Lingchuan played with each one and asked the price, and it was really expensive.

This thing looks like a figure from his world.The shop owner also said that in Beijia and Mou countries, these dolls are not only toys for children, but more adults collect them.

This point is not wrong, He Lingchuan has indeed seen this kind of doll in the later generations of Lingxu City, and one can be sold for several taels, or even dozens of taels of silver.It appears that this business has been going on for 200 years.

While talking, A Luo came back and nodded at him: "Okay."

As soon as the words fell, He Lingchuan shot like the wind, and quickly hit the shopkeeper's ribs.

This is the technique of cutting blood and regulating the pulse. Once it is pressed, there will be severe pain in the intercostals, difficulty in lifting the breath, and even pain in breathing-a bit like a big gash, but in fact it does no harm to the body.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper was short and fat but nimble, turning around like a spinning top, trying to get back to the front hall through the gap, while shouting "Come on".

But before he could utter the word "Come", the person froze, as if all his strength had been taken away.

He couldn't move his legs, and fell to his knees in front of He Lingchuan with a "plop".

"Oh, I dare not take it." He Lingchuan smiled and lifted him up, throwing him on the cabinet.

Ah Luo frowned: "This medicine takes effect too slowly, and it actually made him take two steps forward, and he still has to adjust it."

The medicine he releases is colorless and tasteless, and has the effect of crisping gluten.

He Lingchuan changed out the spider rope and tied the shopkeeper tightly: "You are so grown up, he can't even speak."

Arlo took out a smelling bottle and put it under the nose of the owner, who sneezed and was able to speak.

"Who are you!" The shopkeeper was alert, "Don't mess around, I have someone here!"

"Your people are sleeping in the warehouse." A Luo shook the bottle in his hand, "They have to sleep for at least half an hour, and they don't know that they have been tricked when they wake up."

Just now he made an excuse to go to the toilet, but in fact he quietly threw some gluten powder into the warehouse. "There are three guards there."

Hu Min had already closed the last door of the shop. Hearing this, he went to the warehouse to take a look. When he came back, holding a wooden bottle in his hand, he said to A Luo: "He has collected a lot of stolen goods here. You can identify them. , is this Bailongdan?"

A Luo took it, uncorked the bottle and nodded after smelling it: "Excellent Bailongdan."

The owner of the store has long been pale.

He Lingchuan asked him: "Your name is Fu Lin'an, right? Selling stolen goods for the Takigawa water bandits, do you know how to convict this?"

Fu Lin'an argued to himself: "Is it strange that I keep a few bottles of Bailong Dan in this store? How can you slander them as stolen goods!"

A Luo poured out a pill and put it in front of him: "Do you see a green mark on the surface of this pill?"

The other three saw it.

"This is the first-class product of Nanli Rentang in Baishawan. It is called 'Qingjinbailongdan'. The efficacy period is very short, only half a year, so there is a mark on the bottom of the pill, which is the date of release." A Luo pointed to the three people. , "This was only refined half a month ago. During the period, Li Rentang only entrusted the Hexin caravan to transport Bailongdan to the north, and it was robbed. What else do you have to say?"
