Liyue Taoist of Yuanshen

But if someone wants to leave with the goods, any goods taken by the fleeing person will be considered smuggled.

Merchants who sold goods to those who fled were naturally implicated as well.

The reason why the family can do business here is of course using some means.

First of all, all trade is barter, and secondly, most importantly, these are all carried out in order to avoid the appointment.

After all, as long as he wasn't caught, it wouldn't be considered smuggling.

At this moment, Beidou came over from behind and said, "Qiuyue? It seems that your business is doing well, and you have opened the store to the intersection?"

Oh, it seems that the store is lying.

Hearing what Beidou said, Ouyang instantly understood that what the shopkeeper said just now was basically a lie.

Just don't know for what purpose.

However, he didn't care about these, and he wasn't doing business with him anyway.

On the other side, there was an unnatural embarrassment on Qiuyue's face for a moment.

She looked at Beidou and Ouyang, and then said enthusiastically: "It turned out to be Captain Beidou, where is it? Didn't my Chuyu firm only drink soup under your care?"

She thought it was because a new fleet had gone through the Daozuma route, and she wanted to expand some purchase channels.

But it turned out to be almost self-defeating.

Qiuyue put on a warm smile again, and said courteously: "I haven't seen you for a few months, where is sister Xue Lian? It's been a long time since I saw her. I miss her very much."

Ok?

Ouyang looked at Qiuyue suspiciously, and then turned to look at Beidou. The meaning in his eyes clearly understood what was going on?

Seeing this, Beidou came to Ouyang's side, and whispered in his ear, "This man is Qiuyue, the owner of the Daozu branch of Chuyu Trading Company. These years, he has basically collected ore from your family and resold it here."

"Xue Lian and I have talked with her and met her a few times, so we know her."

After finishing speaking, Beidou pointed to Ouyang and said to Qiuyue: "This is Xue Lian's family. Dao wife came here this time to find Xue Lian to go home. Haven't you seen her in the past few months?"

"No." Qiuyue shook her head, "It's strange to say that after Sister Xue Lian came to Daoqi before, I could always see her coming here every few days, but I started to see her again a few months ago. I haven't seen her. I thought she had returned to Liyue."

"Then did she say where she wants to go before?" This time it was Ayaka Kamisato who followed up.

She came to Qiuyue and said politely: "Hello, I'm Ayaka Kamisato from the Shinsato family in the shrine. This time, I also want to help this Mr. Ouyang find his family. So please think about that Was there anything unusual about Xue Lian before she disappeared?"

"For example, where do you want to go, or if there are other unknown people looking for her."

Looking at the beautiful lady in front of her, Qiuyue was excited: "So it's Miss Shenli! I've always heard rumors about you, and this is the first time I've seen a real person!"

"You don't have to be so polite." Aya Kamisato was a little shy, but she still tried to bring things back on track, "Please answer the question just now, this is very important to us."

"...Sorry, I can't help you much. I really can't remember what happened a few months ago." Amity Yu replied regretfully shaking her head.

"Forget it, but thank you." Ouyang said, and was about to leave.

The four walked out of the shop.

After this incident, Ouyang looked at the square where there were almost no tourists, and he lost his original intention of strolling around.

Shenli Lingren asked from the side: "Mr. Ouyang, why don't we go to the hotel to settle down first, and then I can send someone to survey and approve the pass. In this way, we can also go to the main city of Daozuma as soon as possible. location."

pass? !

Ouyang was reminded suddenly.

He almost forgot that Dao's wife, who is now locked off the country, needs a permit to leave the outlying islands.

But the hotel is fine.

He turned his head and asked Beidou: "Didn't Xue Lian buy a house here? Go and have a look."

"Okay." Beidou agreed.

She looked around and took the lead in walking ahead.

The four of them just walked in a slightly dull way on the street that was not at all lively.

Ouyang walked and watched, and found that today's Dao wife, at least this outlying island is really a little lifeless.

Especially after walking through the square just now, I can't even see any tourists.

The bosses or salesmen in the shops have already yawned leisurely.

There was no professional smirk on his face, only numbness and calm remained.

But the situation got a little better after turning a corner.

He found that this should be the snack street.

There are many dining cars in the style of small carts on both sides of the street.

Although there is almost no shouting, at least there are tourists here.

Although it can't be compared with Fei Yunpo in the night market, it looks much more comfortable.

Crowded travel is annoying.

But in such a situation where there are not many tourists, Ouyang feels the most comfortable in his heart.

"Mom, can I get some roasted bird eggs?"

When passing by, Ouyang heard and saw a teenager begging his mother to buy food.

Smelling some aroma, Ouyang didn't stop and continued on his way.

But as he walked, he realized something was wrong.

Turning to look at Kamisato Ayaka who has been silent by her side, she asked, "Why are mothers with children on Inazuma Street? Are all the men going to work?"

There are not many tourists on the street, but they are all young mothers walking around with two or three children.

It is extremely rare to see an old man taking care of a child, but no adult male is seen.

Even the vendors pushing the food carts selling snacks are women, which is simply unreasonable.

"...This is because the war on Yarui Island has not yet ended, and many adult men in Inazuma have gone there."

Kamisato Ayaka's tone was a little low, and she went on to explain: "And the impact of war is far more than that. There will always be casualties in battle, so it is inevitable that children in many families will lose their fathers due to war, and even both parents have lost their fathers. lost."

"The Inazuma Shogunate can only take in a limited number of children. Fortunately, many mothers will adopt one or two out of sympathy."

Damn, there is no man in the society, if it is not because of the presence of God, I feel like I will collapse every minute.

Ouyang stopped talking, mainly because he didn't know what to say.

Follow Beidou all the way, and soon pass this snack street.

After another turning, down the stairs, looking around, here is a small village.

Judging from the fishing nets drying in the yards of every household, they should all be engaged in fishing.

Along the way, Ouyang felt that there were really few people.

Except for a few children playing in the village, there was no one else to be seen.

Few families even have smoke rising from their chimneys.

I thought that Xue Lian bought the house here, but Beidou didn't stop, but walked away from the village and walked to the other side.

Passing through a small path surrounded by several earth slopes, there is a courtyard near the sea.

Typical Inazuma style, but it seems that weeds have grown back in the yard because no one takes care of it.

Beidou turned his head, pointed to the yard and said, "This is it."

"How did she think of buying here?" Ouyang asked strangely.

This place is far away from the crowd, isn't she, a weak woman, buying here to find opportunities for caring people?

Seeing Ouyang's inquiry, Beidou was also a little helpless: "I persuaded her at the beginning, but she insisted on buying it here, saying that it would be cleaner. If I don't want me to send someone to follow, I can't help it."

Well...

Hearing what Beidou said, Ouyang suddenly understood.

I'm afraid it's not convenient to meet someone, right?

He naturally thought of the samurai who had died in the imperial duel.

Just like this, Ouyang suddenly became interested in that Wanye's friend.

Obviously, this person seems to be a little bit invisible?

Thinking in his mind that there was nothing he could do, Ouyang opened the courtyard door and walked in.

The kitchen is on the right hand side of the entrance, the utility room is on the left hand side, and the room facing the courtyard gate is used for living.

With a sweep of consciousness, all the details of the entire courtyard can be seen at a glance.

It is indeed an ordinary yard that has been uninhabited for a long time.

squeak

Open the door of residence.

There was dust floating in the air, and a thick layer had accumulated on the tables and chairs in the living room.

Seeing this, Ouyang waved a brilliance.

The light enveloped the entire courtyard and disappeared quickly.

At the same time, the weeds in the yard and the dust in the house disappeared.

The entire yard has been refreshed.

At the same time, on the other side of the outlying island.

Kanding Fengxing's mansion, Hiiragi Shinsuke opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him and asked, "Is what you said true?"

"It's absolutely true. My subordinates saw with their own eyes that She Fengxing's housekeeper Thomas escorted more than a dozen prisoners to She Fengxing's stronghold on an outlying island."

"Did you see how many people were escorted?"

"Eleven!"

Is this one that died in the conflict?

Hiiragi Shinsuke waved his subordinates back.
