Jiang Yunluo paused, followed Boss Wen's gaze, and saw an elderly man sitting next to him.

The other party's hair was gray, but his complexion was sallow, and he looked not in good health.

I was thinking about——

"Cough cough..."

While coughing, he stood up with his walking stick and kept saying: "Is this the hero that Boss Wen said? I...I am the mayor of Caixia Town...cough cough...cough cough cough! "

It seemed that he was too excited, causing the old man to cough more and more frequently, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.

Jiang Yunluo hurriedly stepped forward: "Old man, please tell me slowly if you have anything to say."

She held the other person's arm and sat down at the table. Her fingertips swept across his pulse, and she felt reassured.

"well……"

The mayor slowly sat down and saw that she looked kind and seemed to be easy to talk to, and then he felt a little relieved.

Then he said: "I heard from Boss Wen...the three of them are knights passing by here. I'm brave and have a merciless request..."

Jiang Yunluo's eyes flickered for a moment, she looked at Huayue and Mu Li, and she almost guessed what the other party wanted to say.

Then, as expected, I heard him slowly say: "You must have heard that a group of bandits have appeared near Caixia Town. They are burning, killing, and looting. Many surrounding villages have already suffered. I don't know when it will be their turn." In Caixia Town, people are in panic right now, and no one dares to go out at will, but our ancestors’ foundations are here, and we can’t move away at will. We also asked three heroes to help us... put down this banditry..."

After he spoke earnestly, he coughed violently again.

Boss Wen also looked at the three of them with a pleading face: "You three, I also know that this matter is a bit abrupt, but... we really have no other choice. As long as you can help put an end to the banditry, I will stay in the store these days. No fees will be charged! Delicious food and drinks will be served to you! How about it?"

"Yep!"

The mayor seemed to be reminded by his words, and he nodded again and again: "As long as you are willing to help! If you want any thanks, just ask for it! I... If my ability is limited, I will wait for the reinforcements from the court to arrive and deal with this matter. Tell the leader of the team! He will actually reward the three of you!"

Both of them looked at Jiang Yunluo and the others with earnest expressions.

Jiang Yunluo did not speak.

They can't protect themselves right now, and they really don't have any extra time to clean up the banditry.

Not to mention that reinforcements from the imperial court will be arriving soon.

The best thing to do now is to leave immediately.

Can……

Her eyes flickered for a moment, and Jiang Yunluo asked, "Does the mayor know when the reinforcements will arrive?"

"This……"

The mayor hesitated for a moment, then said: "I have received a letter before, saying that it will arrive in three or four days."

"On the third and fourth days..."

Jiang Yunluo murmured.

Then he felt the mayor's eyes became more earnest: "This heroine, if you are in trouble, then... can you stay in the town for a few more days? Even if you wait until reinforcements arrive, before you leave, there will be some people who are good at martial arts. , the people in the town will feel more at ease..."

He really cares about the people.

I just want peace here.

Jiang Yunluo frowned, feeling a little moved in her heart.

But she cannot decide this matter alone.

Mu Li is in danger now.

Huayue was even involved for no reason and accompanied her on the adventure.

She couldn't cause any more trouble for the two of them.

Thinking about it, she finally made up her mind and planned to refuse.

But before she could speak——

"Feel sorry."

Mu Li suddenly took a step forward and saluted the mayor with some satisfaction.

"Mayor, I have important things to do on this trip. I've wasted time on the way, so I'm afraid I can't stay any longer."

He looked serious and couldn't joke.

The mayor and Boss Wen were startled at first, and then looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Jiang Yunluo and Huayue looked at him with some surprise.

Naturally, Huayue would have no objection no matter what Jiang Yunluo decided.

But he didn't expect that the person who refused would be Mu Li.

The air was quiet for a moment.

Then, Boss Wen sighed helplessly.

The mayor also stood up: "If that's the case, then...I won't force it anymore. It's just an abrupt move. Please don't blame me."

His hair was already gray, but he suddenly seemed a bit older at this moment.

Jiang Yunluo felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

If the other party has a tougher attitude, they will refuse more simply.

It is precisely because the other party has a good-tempered attitude towards negotiation, and even if he is rejected, he does not bother at all, which makes people feel unbearable.

The mayor bowed his hands to the three of them again, hunched over, turned around and walked out.

The coughing sound spread from the table to the door.

"and many more!"

Jiang Yunluo suddenly shouted to stop him.

The mayor paused and turned around to look at him in surprise.

Seeing the other party's earnest gaze, Jiang Yunluo's eyes dodge a little, and she walked straight towards the counter: "Boss Wen, do you have any pen and ink?"

"Have."

Not knowing what she was going to do, Boss Wen handed over a writing brush.

Jiang Yunluo scribbled a few lines on the white paper, waited for the ink to dry, and handed it to the mayor.

"This is……"

The mayor was a little surprised.

Jiang Yunluo explained: "I know a little about medicine. I just heard that the mayor has been coughing. He must be old or sick. After returning home, you can take medicine according to this prescription and take it once a day. In addition, some dietary taboos are also recorded on it. If you can strictly follow the conditioning methods written above for two months, you will get better."

"That's...that's it, thank you very much."

After hearing that it was just a prescription, the hope in the mayor's eyes quickly extinguished, but he still thanked him gratefully.

Then he held the prescription and staggered away.

Jiang Yunluo then turned around and looked at Boss Wen, with some apology on her face.

Boss Wen seemed to see what she wanted to say, and quickly waved his hand: "Girl, there is no need to apologize. This is just because we have something to ask for. The three of you have your own things to do, so you can't delay. It's human nature. I don't know... …When are you planning to leave?”

"us……"

Jiang Yunluo's eyes flickered for a moment, and she looked at Huayue and Mu Li.

Neither of them spoke, they just indicated with their eyes that she would make the decision.

Jiang Yunluo then said: "We plan to go out to do some shopping soon, and we should leave after lunch."

"Okay! Those three can go ahead!"

Boss Wen was very enthusiastic and said: "It's just that people are panicking recently, and there aren't many places to go shopping in the town. If some shops are closed, just go up and knock on the door and tell me my name. At noon... …”

He thought for a moment and continued: "Most of the restaurants in this town are closed. If you don't mind, come back at noon. I will cook the food myself and treat it as a farewell to you."
