After the Legend Chapter 33: 1 corner of the veil

There are only 40 or 50 long-term residents in Heisha Town. The place is slightly larger than that of Phantom Town, but there are many people coming and going. It seems to be the location of the nearby market. Right now is the day of the market, the town is full of people coming and going, and there are many horses, cattle, pigs and sheep passing by, which is quite lively.

Xiao Tianjian quickly found the target tavern. There was a fragrant smell of stewed meat from the store, which wafted all over the street. It was the braised pork he taught, but from that smell Judging, it should not be pork.

Ming Na started drooling when she smelled the smell. She has always liked meat, but since she entered the Elf Forest last August, except for the few pots of fish soup, she has not eaten any meat for more than half a year. It is rare to smell that much. The seductive taste is naturally a greedy worm, so he took the initiative to take his hand and walked into the store without being urged by his grandfather.

There were a lot of customers in the store. They found a small table in the corner and sat down, and soon ordered the signature stewed meat and noodles. They were greeted by a short, stocky middle-aged man who looked very kind. When he heard that they ordered a large plate of meat, he happily shouted to the kitchen chef: "Wife, add two servings of soup to the large plate of meat, and add more. A plate of boiled noodles!”

"Okay~" An angry female voice came from the kitchen, "What are you two brats doing?! How dare you steal it?! Get out now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, two boys aged eight or nine years old ran out from the kitchen, one of whom still had gravy left on his mouth. Familiar guests around were laughing: "You two boys stole it again, isn't the stew your mother makes so delicious?" The two boys smirked and wiped their mouths and faces. He shook his head, laughed and scolded, and chatted with others.

A 13- or 14-year-old girl who was pouring wine for the guests came over and said to the two boys seriously: "Why did the brothers steal food again? Mom and Dad work hard every day, all for the sake of the family, if you can't help Now, how can you cause trouble for your mother?"

The two boys were ashamed by what she said, and both lowered their heads. The girl saw that her heart softened, so she slowed down: "I know I'm wrong, just say sorry to my mother, and then go help wash the dishes, but Don't break the plate." The two boys hurriedly responded and soon heard them apologizing to their mother loudly in the back kitchen.

When the customers in the store saw this situation, they all praised the girl: "Catherine is getting more and more like her mother now. She is smart and sensible. I really don't know who will be lucky enough to marry in the future."

The girl blushed and hid in the back kitchen, but the others continued to chat and laugh.

"Isn't it? Just be my daughter-in-law."

"You? Your son is so lazy, don't waste little Catherine!"

"Your mouth is so stinky! What's wrong with my son? He is an apprentice in a grocery store and can be his own boss in the future. How can he not be worthy of Katherine? It's better than a dirty mouth. The aristocratic young master is strong."

"What do you know? A good girl like Catherine should marry a noble person, otherwise her pretty face will be wasted too much."

As soon as he finished speaking, a slightly fat woman in her thirties or forties with a stained apron rushed out of the kitchen, holding a sharp meat chopper in her right hand. He slashed at his table: "Which guy is full of food and gossips about my Catherine?! Who dares to say again, see if I don't cut off his eggs!"

Although the woman was quite beautiful, everyone was astonished under the glaring glance. Looking at the cold light flashing on the knife, they swallowed their saliva and shook their heads in unison to show that they did not dare. The woman drew her knife with satisfaction and went back to the back kitchen. The shop was quiet for a while, and then there was a commotion again: "God of Light is on top! Egan, your wife is really powerful, how can you bear it?"

The chubby man known as Egan grinned and didn't pay any attention to what others said, and when he heard his wife in the back kitchen calling for him to get the food, he went off.

Minna snickered while watching, this woman reminded her of Winnie, but Winnie was much cleaner and more refined and older than her. When she leaves here tomorrow, she will be able to return to Edonia soon. By then, she will be heading eastward with Grandpa Marshall, and she will be able to reach Matt Harbor in ten days at most. It's been a long time since she missed Winnie.

While snickering, she accidentally glanced at her grandfather, only to find that he was in a daze. Sometimes she glanced at Egan, the squat man walking back and forth among the guests, and sometimes at the back kitchen, with a shocked expression, and then again. Somewhat at a loss.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" she asked curiously.

"No, it's nothing." Xiao Tianjian hurriedly looked back and pretended to be okay, but he was a little restless. Mingna had been with him for so long, and knowing that this was very different from his usual time, she looked at him a few more times. Eye.

Egan quickly brought up the meals that belonged to Ming Na's grandparents and grandsons. Two large plates of soup were piled up with chunks of meat, as well as a plate of boiled noodles that were just out of the pot. Ming Na's index finger was big. Moved, immediately took the spoon and ate. The taste is really delicious!

Although she is eating a lot, Xiao Tianjian is a little absent-minded, and her appetite doesn't seem to be very good. When Ming Na saw it, she asked inexplicably, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Are you hungry?"

Xiao Tianjian woke up suddenly, smiled, took a few bites, and gave his granddaughter two more pieces of meat: "Eat more." Ming Na happily thanked and buried her head to eat.

Someone called Egan's name outside the store and said that he was here to deliver wine, but Egan was having a good talk with a few guests, so he asked his wife to go, and the woman in the back kitchen came out to take a look and asked the man to deliver the wine At the back door, he told his daughter to look after the kitchen and went to the backyard.

Xiao Tianjian hesitated for a while, took a deep breath, and said to his granddaughter, "Ming Na, I have to go away for a while, you stay here to eat, you know?" After that, he gave her a lot of meat, Then, while no one in the store was paying attention, he got up and flashed into the backyard.

Although Minna wondered where he was going, she obediently stayed in her seat and ate broth and noodles. At this time, the words of the people around came into her ears, and she listened without a word.

"Have you heard? The noble man who opened the wine shop heard that he is buying noodles at a high price, 100 catties for 5 silver coins! A friend of mine sold him 300 catties because of the quality Well, I got a total of fifteen silver coins."

"Five silver coins for 100 jin? That's a really high price. I don't have that much food in my family, but I still have 70 to 80 jin. Where did the master buy it? I'll send it as soon as I get home."

"I also have a lot of pasta in my store." It was Egan who said this. "But I still have business to do, so I'm afraid I can't sell it to that gentleman."

"Brother Egan, why are you so confused? One hundred catties and five silver coins are not a common price. The most famous thing in your shop is stewed meat, not noodles. It doesn't matter if you sell some, it's rare. Opportunity, if it weren't for the generosity of the gentleman, how long would it take us to earn such a large sum of money?"

"That old man may not be really generous. He bought a lot of noodles, which is not a good thing for us." Suddenly there was a discordant voice in the opposite corner. Ming Na looked over and found that it was a dress A relatively clean and decent man, about forty or fifty years old, with a very gentle temperament.

The people around didn't like to hear it, so some people looked at him and said, "Isn't this the former accountant of the winery? I heard that you were fired by the master last month. Now you say this, don't you think? Are you trying to get revenge on him?"

The man said calmly: "There is no such thing. My ancestors have been here for generations. I know that the master's actions are harmful to my hometown, but I don't say it in order to save my job. I can do this kind of thing. not out."

Everyone snickered, and the person who spread the news just now raised his voice: "Then tell me, that noble man spent a lot of money to buy noodles, how could it be harmful to us? Did he pay us, Will it hurt us?" Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

The man looked at the man with a sneering look: "In recent years, the harvest has not been good, but the population has increased, and there is not enough food to eat. In order to make money, a lot of noodles are used for winemaking. , only a very small amount of the money sold goes into the pockets of ordinary people. For the sake of money, you left farming to work, and even sold the life-saving food. Haven't you thought about what will happen to you if you run out of food? Do you? Don't regret it when you starve to death."

Others were unhappy when they heard it: "You curse us to starve to death, it's abominable! As long as we have money, are we afraid that we won't be able to buy food? The corn, potatoes and flour brought in by southern merchants are good. It's cheap to eat, and with that, how could we starve to death?"

Everyone agreed in unison, but the man was still sneering: "Relying on other countries' food to fill our stomachs? You never thought, when we completely depend on other countries to survive, what will our country be reduced to? At that time, I am afraid that what other countries want us to do, we will do it.”

"The more you talk, the more outrageous you are. The countries in the south are so rich, how could they attack a poor place like us? Don't try to lie to us, no matter what you say, we will never give up this earning A chance for money." a guest said.

"That's right! Usually a hundred catties of noodles can be exchanged for at most four silver coins, but now it can be exchanged for eight, so a fool would give up this opportunity."

"That's right, this guy is the one who really wants to hurt us. Hey! You bastard! If you talk nonsense, I'll beat you up." A rude-looking big man waved at the man fist. Seeing this, Egan stepped forward to persuade him. The man frowned in disgust, dropped dozens of coins, turned and walked out of the store.

When everyone saw that he was gone, they ignored what he had just said, and talked to themselves about how many silver coins they could exchange and what to do after getting the money.

Ming Na was a little confused, but when she thought that the brewing recipe was originally given to the villagers by her grandfather, of course she didn't want to harm them, she stopped thinking about it. When she was full, seeing that her grandfather had not returned, she dipped her fingers in the gravy from his plate in a bored way, and sipped it in her mouth. At this moment, a few unclear words came from the corner behind her.

"...Last night...the avalanche...was all dead, you tell us...what's the purpose? I have no grudge against you...wouldn't I want to harm us?"

"How is that possible?... The person the boss is looking for... I can't stand it... Elves... How can the treasure be obtained by someone like him? You have helped me, and I am repaying..."

Ming Na's breath tightened, and she quickly pricked up her ears and moved back, hearing more clearly.

"...Is it true? All the people your boss hired for a lot of money died. Why do you believe that mercenaries like us can succeed?"

"How can those people compare with you? You are a local, hardy, and familiar with snow-capped mountains. Outsiders don't know the tricks of taking the mountain road. Don't you know? It's nothing. If you don't worry, I can also hire a magician who is good at floating spells. With him, you will be safer."

This man's words are attractive, the other party seems to be a little moved, but he wants to discuss with his mates, so he quickly takes the first step. Ming Na was so anxious that she was afraid that they would all leave. She looked at the door leading to the backyard again and again, complaining in her heart why her grandfather didn't come back.

At this time in the backyard, Xiao Tianjian and the middle-aged woman had just finished their memories, and they were embarrassed to each other. The woman adjusted her hair and apron uncomfortably, bowed her head and said, "Really, you don't have to worry about it. , I have a good life, my man is an honest man, my daughter is very sensible, and my two sons are naughty, but they are both good children. Our family earns enough money to support the whole family now, you don't have to...don't..." She was uneasy Rubbing his hands together, he glanced in the direction of the door from time to time.

Xiao Tianjian sighed and forced a smile: "Then... I won't bother, I wish you a happy life." He took out an iron plate with a beautiful oriental dragon pattern carved on it: "If... If you need help, you can take this to the Xiao family business, they will help." After that, he put the iron card into the other's hand, whispered "Goodbye, Lila", and turned to leave.

The woman stared blankly at him disappearing by the door, and suddenly her whole body softened. Then her husband Egan walked into the backyard and asked, "Who was that guy just now? He didn't look like an ordinary person."

The woman smiled and said, "I'm just passing by. People in my hometown don't know my current situation, so I asked him to greet me." She quietly put away the iron card and said to her husband as if nothing happened: "Egan, there is something I want to discuss with you. We still have some savings, why don't we leave here? You heard what those people said just now. My daughter is growing up. I don't want her to become a plaything for the nobles. Let's still Move away."

Egan thought for a while and said, "Your words also make sense. Every time I see that young master come to the door, I get scared. But where can we move to? Nomonka? There are more nobles there. ."

"Move to Xike! Didn't you say that your aunt and uncle have a small business there? With my skills in stewing meat, there is no problem to make a living. There are no nobles there, and it is a prosperous place, which is the most suitable place. ."

Egan starts to think about the feasibility of this proposal.

======================I am the dividing line of the transition scene================== ===

When Xiao Tianjian returned to the store, Ming Na had just seen the one who stayed in the conversation walk out of the store. When she saw her grandfather, she hurriedly dragged him to pay the bill. Xiao Tianjian was a little puzzled. He heard his granddaughter whispering about the Elf Forest, and hurriedly dropped ten gold coins to the girl named Catherine, saying that it was a reward for them, so he took Ming Na out of the house.

After chasing him all the way, Ming Na told her grandfather what she had just heard all the way, Xiao Tianjian immediately realized that the granddaughter might have found the big fish, so he hugged her and kissed her twice, and then tightly embroidered the suspicious people.

The man turned left and right on the street, got into an alley, and disappeared behind the door of a low stone house. Xiao Tianjian observed at the alley for a while, let his granddaughter stay where he was, told her not to run around, and walked over lightly.

Minna held her breath as he watched him disappear from the wall next to the house, and looked around nervously. She had never done anything like looking at the wind before, she always felt that everyone was looking at her, she was very uncomfortable, and she felt that time was sad. After finally seeing Xiao Tianjian back before someone came to ask her, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"How is it? Is that person a bad guy?" Ming Na asked in a low voice just after being carried away by her grandfather.

Xiao Tianjian pinched her little face with an approving smile: "My little Mingna~IndoMTL.com~ you have done a great job. That person did intentionally reveal the news to a powerful mercenary to lure They went to the Elf Forest. He just got in touch with his accomplices, and I heard that their people will come to see him tonight."

Minna was overjoyed: "Then we can arrest that person?!"

Xiao Tianjian smiled and said nothing.

They came to the only inn in the town, asked for a room, took a comfortable bath, and then Xiao Tianjian began to prepare for the night's action. Minna pouted as he watched him busy, and was very dissatisfied with his decision not to take her there.

Xiao Tianjian just patted her head: "Good, I'll be back soon, stay here, go to sleep when it's time, I'll tell you everything."

Ming Na watched him leave and thumped her pillow depressedly. She couldn't calm down all night. She walked back and forth in the room, wanting to go out, but she was afraid of missing the time when her grandfather came back, so she had to stay in the room in a daze. Later, she had to turn over the potions textbook.

Not long after, the owner of the inn informed the guests to turn off the lights. Therefore, the lamp oil is expensive, and it is not customary for the local people to keep the lights on at night. Ming Na had no choice but to blow out the oil lamp, but she tossed and turned in the dark and couldn't fall asleep. She just kept staring at the door.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden soft knock on the door. Ming Na was overjoyed and hurriedly turned over to get up. However, the door was a little weird. It quietly opened a crack, and a hand came in. There was also a dagger in that hand, which shone coldly in the darkness.
