The world is unstable

Chapter 27 Circus - Joseph

Wenzhou blocked his movement in time. Following Jack's puzzled eyes, Wenzhou took off his hat with a smile, and saluted slightly: "Mr. Jack, I am not here today for clothes, I want to ask Mr. John matter.

To be honest, I am a pumpkin wholesaler in a town far away. Since I am short of some goods, I would like to come to your town to have a look. "

There was a complex tremor in Jack's eyes. After pondering for a moment, he said, "You are new here, right? John's old guy is growing pumpkins, but he hasn't sold pumpkins for a long time."

"? What do you mean? Why don't you sell the pumpkins you are planting?" Although it is generally known from the task introduction that John has undergone a major change because of his wife, but the details are still unclear, so Wenzhou continued to ask. .

Jack sighed, pondered for a while before slowly saying: "Come in and talk."

Wenzhou followed Jack into his tailor shop.In the store, there are a lot of clothes hanging on the wall, all kinds of styles are complete.

After finding a seat, Jack gestured for Wenzhou to sit down, and said, "Every year, pumpkin merchants like you who are not familiar with this place come here hoping to purchase from John's, but they all return disappointed. Do you know why?",
While speaking, Jack fumbled in his pocket for a while, and took out a cigar and a box of matches.

La, smoke filled the air. Wenzhou looked at the puffing Jack in front of him and continued to listen to his next words: "We have lived in this Fengdu town for a long time, and John is my old friend. After all, , we have been friends for more than ten years."

After flicking the cigarette ash, Jack continued: "He was originally a very kind person, but after the death of his wife Mary, his temperament suddenly changed, just like now, very irritable." Speaking of this, Jack's eyes suddenly became complicated.

"That is to say, did Mr. John become like this because he couldn't accept his wife's departure?" Wenzhou continued Jack's words.

Shaking his head, Jack also sighed and said, "I don't know either. At first I thought he became irritable because of Mary's death. I thought it would be fine after a while. But who knows with time As time passed, it became more and more intense."

"At the beginning, he was only occasionally angry suddenly, but we all expressed understanding. The business was going on as usual. But slowly, we found that he became very strange,
From the year before last, he suddenly stopped selling pumpkins, but he planted pumpkins in the field on time every year, and when it was ready to harvest, he watched all the pumpkins rot in the field without moving.

He drove away every pumpkin dealer who came to buy, and John, that guy, became a stranger to me. "

As if thinking of something, Jack continued, but his tone became a little more floating:
"Plus, oh my god, you won't believe it, but now he goes to the middle of his pumpkin patch every full moon night and stares at the scarecrow that stands there.

Some of the town's children, perhaps seeing his strange behavior, secretly called John 'Straw John' in their small groups.Seeing him like that makes me feel kind of sad or..."

As if helpless, Jack took a deep puff of the cigar, and then said the last sentence: "I don't know if a person even speaks ill to his old friends, what is the reason?

We are all saddened by Mary's death, but people always have to look forward. ", exhaling a long string of white smoke, Jack closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Wenzhou bowed slightly, said a word of thanks, and quietly retreated out.After Wenzhou went out, Jack's eyes slowly opened, and he was slowly kneading a ring on the thumb of his right hand, wondering what he was thinking about...

After leaving Jack's shop, a sentence popped into Wenzhou's mind:

【Task 1/4】Complete:
To understand John's current situation, maybe you can go to John's friend first: Tailor Jack, he may know something.

[Reward]: Dream Crystal x2
Wenzhou nodded clearly, and then 7 issued the second task:
【Mission 2/4】:
It's a pity that Jack didn't reveal a lot of information. To better complete this task, you can try to ask Joseph, the head of the circus on the west side of the town. He seems to have witnessed something with his own eyes.

[Reward]: Dream Crystal x2
"Indeed, this Jack really didn't say anything crucial. The only thing he knows is that he and John had a good relationship before, and the general content of the mission briefing." Wenzhou nodded approvingly.

Judging from Jack's tone, Jack seemed to think that John's strangeness was due to the passing of his wife Mary.But how could this task be so simple?The House of the Demon Seeds! ?So simple

Shaking his head, Wenzhou turned to the west and walked towards the circus.A huge tent can be vaguely seen across Wenzhou.It should be there, Wenzhou thought to himself.

... Fengdu Circus
Joseph is the head of the Fengdu Circus, which has a huge lineup of actors. His circus should be the largest entertainment venue in several towns around here.

The circus occupies most of the venue in the west of Fengdu Town, and the decoration can be described as extraordinarily magnificent.

Today's Halloween, Joseph is hurrying to set up the circus and distribute today's promotional posters.Such a great opportunity to make money should not be missed in vain.A businessman always needs to use his keen insight to explore fleeting business opportunities.

But just as he was standing at the entrance of the circus, smoking a black pipe and directing the actors to set up the venue, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a man walking towards him out of the corner of his eye.

"Oh, look at this handsome guest, if you want to see the wonders of the circus, please come tonight, as you can see, our circus is arranging beautiful decorations for tonight's performance Woolen cloth.",
After taking a puff of cigarette, Joseph smiled and turned to Wenzhou.

Wenzhou also showed a smile, took off his hat and said, "Oh, you must be the famous Captain Joseph. I have admired you for a long time, and today I saw you, and you are as energetic as the rumors."

Hearing Wenzhou's respectful words, Joseph's smile became softer, he laughed and said, "My friend, my circus is not so famous", but looking at his smile, you can tell that it is true.

"To be honest, Mr. Joseph, I really hope to come to see the performance led by you tonight, but what you don't know is that I am a pumpkin merchant, and I came here today to buy some pumpkins.

But unfortunately, I heard that the pumpkin grower here, Mr. John, seemed a little unusual.So I wanted to come and ask if you have any information that I can learn? "After Wenzhou finished speaking politely, he got down to business.
