One person cut down the rivers and lakes

Chapter 270 Weird Town

Gu Mo looked at Dr. Zhong speechlessly, and said, "Doctor Zhong, do you know that riddlers are the most annoying?"

Dr. Zhong didn't say much, and left directly.

Gu Mo curled his lips and continued to boil the medicine.

This small town is indeed quite mysterious. Although it hasn't encountered any mysterious incidents yet, he can be sure that this small town is not simple just because of Dr. Zhong's nagging appearance.

However, as a newcomer, he was not in a hurry, he just wanted to rest first before doing other things.

soon,
The medicine was almost done, so Gu Mo poured the decoction into a bowl and drank it in one gulp.

Other than a bit bitter, there is no other reaction,
However, just drink this bowl of medicine,

The last ray of fatigue in his body disappeared, like a person who had been hungry for a long time and finally had a full meal, his whole body was full of energy.

After drinking the medicine,
Gu Mo walked out of the kitchen and went outside the courtyard,

Dr. Zhong is feeling the pulse in the medical hall.

After Dr. Zhong wrapped the medicine for someone, Gu Mo walked over and asked, "Doctor Zhong."

"Pear Blossom Lane is in the east of the town. If you go out and walk eastward, you will see a big elm tree. There is an alley next to the elm tree. Enter the alley and walk to the end and you will be there. If you are new here, learn to be smart." Dr. Zhong said flatly. Said.

Gu Mo nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Doctor Zhong."

Dr. Zhong said: "Find a way to make money by yourself. After seven days, I will come to collect the rent. If you don't have any money, you can leave by yourself."

"I see."

"Ah."

Dr. Zhong closed his eyes slightly and lay down on the chair.

Gu Mo also saw that Doctor Zhong had nothing else to say, so he cupped his hands and went out.

As soon as Gu Mo went out, he saw a middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt coming in, with frost on his temples, a smile like a spring breeze on his face, a book wrapped around his waist, and he went straight to the hospital.

Seeing this middle-aged Confucian scholar, Gu Mo suddenly thought of Li Zeqian, whose temperament and image were very similar to this person.

"Little brother, why are you looking at me like that?" the middle-aged Confucian scholar asked with a smile.

"Excuse me," Gu Mo cupped his hands and said, "When I saw Mr., I suddenly thought of a friend of mine, very similar."

"What a coincidence!"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar smiled and walked towards the medical hall.

Gu Mo left straight away.

"Hey, little brother!"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar suddenly turned around and called Gu Mo, walked up to Gu Mo, and said, "I am Mr. Liu from the private school in the town. Is my little brother interested in studying in my private school?"

at this time,

In the medical hall, Dr. Zhong, who was grabbing the medicine, paused for a moment, then turned his head to take a look. At that moment, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Outside the medical center, Gu Mo looked at the teacher surnamed Liu, shook his head, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir, but I still need to settle down as a newcomer. If I have time in the future, I will definitely come to ask you for advice."

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Then, little brother, go slowly."

Gu Mo nodded slightly, turned and left.

Mr. Liu looked at Gu Mo's leaving back and smiled slightly,
At this moment, Dr. Zhong arrived at the entrance of the medical clinic at some point, and said flatly, "Mr. Liu is very optimistic about this young man? Are you going to take him as an apprentice?"

Mr. Liu shook his head, and said: "Just do it casually, but this young man is quite pleasing to the eye, and he has a good bearing."

"It's a pity," Dr. Zhong shook his head and said, "I missed such a great opportunity when I first came here. If this young man finds out later, he will regret it."

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Everyone has his own chance, so it's inevitable that he won't meet a better chance. Well, what did you give him?"

"Two sets of medicine," Dr. Zhong said, "In addition, let him live in the room at the end of Lihua Lane for seven days for free."

"You're going too far," Mr. Liu said, "I think this young man is pretty good, so you just give him something like this? That's not how you earn the difference!"

"I don't think it's necessary to waste too many opportunities on him." Dr. Zhong said flatly: "He came too late, and he just missed such a big opportunity like you. It's hard to turn around."

……

Gu Mo walked in Shuiyue Town,

This town is quite big. When crossing the streets and alleys, Gu Mo basically saw the layout of the town clearly. It is square and has a large population. There are also some small vendors on the side of the street, which belong to the typical alleys and alleys. The town is full of fireworks.

Gu Mo felt a little emotional,

When he was in the human world, he hadn't felt the smell of fireworks. He didn't expect to come to this upper world, but he could feel the smell of fireworks in the human world.

All the way to the east of the town,

The sun is about to set,
Gu Mo walked into the alley that Dr. Zhong had mentioned, and it was all the yards of small farmers surrounded by square fences.

When Gu Mo walked to the end, he saw a small house with a small courtyard surrounded by fences. At this moment, a young man walked out of a similar small courtyard next to it.

The young man was dark-skinned, tall and thin, very familiar with himself, and said: "Little brother, hello, my name is Song Yu, I am a businessman, and I just came to this town today, and I will live there for a while. live here?"

Gu Mo nodded slightly.

Song Yu said with a smile: "Look at you, little brother, you are here to study. I heard that Mr. Liu in Shuiyue Town is very knowledgeable, and many people come to him to study from far away."

Gu Mo smiled and did not explain.

Song Yu was very familiar, and said warmly: "Little brother, what's your name? From now on, we will be neighbors, keep in touch with each other, neighbors help each other, take care of each other!"

"My name is Gu Mo."

"So it's Brother Gu," Song Yu said with a smile, "Brother Gu, when you came today, did you tell you anything about this town?"

"What is it?" Gu Mo asked suspiciously.

"Even after dark, you are not allowed to go out. If someone knocks on the door, treat it as if you didn't hear it. Don't make a sound, and don't open the door. It's a godsend." Song Yu said.

Gu Mo nodded and said, "I heard, what's the matter?"

Song Yu said with a smile: "I really don't believe in this evil? Brother Gu, are you interested? Let's find out together tonight?"

Gu Mo shook his head and said, "Let's talk when we have a chance, I'm a little tired."

After finishing speaking, Gu Mo opened the fence and walked in.

Song Yu next door scratched his head and walked into the courtyard.

Gu Mo came to the door, took out the key, opened the door, and walked in.

It's not big, just three small houses, the kitchen on the left is an empty small room in the middle, with a few stools and a table, and the house on the far right has a bed.

What surprised Gu Mo was that he thought Doctor Zhong had lent him a house that had been idle for a long time, but he didn't expect that the room was clean, and it looked like someone was cleaning it every day.

Gu Mo came to the kitchen,

There is some dry firewood next to the stove, the pots and pans are clean, and there is a small bag of rice and some vegetables on the chopping board, which should last for about three days.

After Gu Mo walked around the room twice, he went into the room to meditate.

He thought carefully about the current situation,
The task of the system is to find the secret of this small town,

And his current situation is actually pretty good. Although the aura cannot be used, his martial arts are still there, and his physique is still very strong. Moreover, he can also use the forbidden technique, which has no effect on him.

"Go out for a stroll tomorrow morning, and I have to find a way to collect the money in this world."

Gu Mo observed carefully in Dr. Zhong’s clinic today. The money in this place is different from the money in the world, and it looks similar, but if you look closely, there will be a big difference, the lines are different, and the shape is also deviated. .

At this moment,
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Gu Mo, open the door."

Doctor Zhong's voice came.

Gu Mo got up immediately, and just as he was about to open the door,
I suddenly remembered Dr. Zhong's explanation today,
"Remember, don't go out after dark. If someone knocks on the door, pretend you didn't hear it. Don't make a sound, don't open the door."

Gu Mo frowned, hesitated for a moment and did not open the door.

"Gu Mo, open the door, I have something to do with you!"

"Gu Mo, open the door, I'll come in and get something."

"Gu Mo..."

Outside the room, Doctor Zhong kept shouting.

Gu Mo just stood at the door without moving, did not speak, and did not open the door.

After a while

The knocking on the door stopped, and there was a sound of footsteps, which gradually faded away.

Gu Mo frowned, and wanted to open the door to have a look. After hesitating for a while, he went back to the room to meditate.

Somewhat weirdly,

In the past, when Gu Mo rested, he always meditated. Today, he actually fell asleep while sitting. It was not until the next morning when the sun came out that he felt a scorching heat, and Gu Mo woke up suddenly.

He thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

It can only be attributed to the mysterious reasons of this small town.

Another weird thing is that Gu Mo is hungry,

Since he broke through to the Heaven-Human Realm, except for satisfying his appetite occasionally, he often does not eat or drink for ten and a half months, because he does not feel hungry at all, nor will he be hungry.

With his cultivation base, there is absolutely no need to replenish energy through eating.

But now, he was actually hungry after a long absence.

"It is indeed full of weirdness everywhere!"

Gu Mo sighed, and went to the kitchen to light a fire to cook.

There are only a few vegetables in the kitchen, no meat,
Instead, there was a big conch in the big water tank.

However, this thing is too troublesome to make, Gu Mo directly gave up the idea of ​​eating meat.

After eating some food,

Gu Mo went out, he was going to go to the town to have a better understanding, but he came in a hurry yesterday, so he didn't observe carefully.

Come outside the courtyard,

He looked at the yard next door, and it was locked. It seemed that Song Yu got up early.

Soon, came to the town,

There are not many people on the street, some are engaged in various small businesses, and there are also shops with open stores. Occasionally, customers come to the door, and the boss is extremely enthusiastic.

stroll around,

Gu Mo came to the hospital again.

Dr. Zhong was seeing a doctor and picking up medicine, when he saw Gu Mo coming in, he said, "Aren't you going to find a job to earn some money, and still hang out here?"

Gu Mo smiled slightly, and said, "Today I came out to look for a job, but I looked around, but I didn't see anyone recruiting. By the way, Doctor Zhong, did you come to see me last night?"

While grabbing the medicine, Dr. Zhong said, "Why am I looking for you? Well, don't bother me here, and find a job quickly. If you can't pay the rent by then, I will kick you out!" "

Gu Mo shrugged helplessly and walked out the door.

At this moment,
He ran into the private school teacher again.

"Hey, little brother, what a coincidence!" Mr. Liu greeted with a smile.

Gu Mo cupped his hands and said, "Good morning, Mr. Liu."

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Yesterday, I heard from Dr. Zhong that the little brother just came to the town to seek a living. He hasn't found a job yet, right?"

Gu Mo nodded.

"Little brother, can you write?" Mr. Liu asked.

"meeting."

Gu Mo nodded. He saw in Dr. Zhong's clinic that the characters in this world are the same as those in the human world.

"That's good."

Mr. Liu took down the book hanging from his waist, tore a page from it, handed it to Gu Mo, and said, "Little brother, take this page of my book and go to the White Grass Bookstore in the east of town. Transcribing books, the wages are thirty cash per day, the store manager is my friend, if you give this page of my book to the manager, he will hire you to work, and he will advance your wages for half a month in advance."

"This……"

"Take it!"

Mr. Liu directly stuffed that page of the book into Gu Mo's hand, and then went straight into the medical clinic.

Gu Mo hesitated for a moment, took the page of the book, turned around and walked towards Zhendong.

in the hospital,
Dr. Zhong was a little surprised and said: "Mr. Liu, you didn't bring this young man in, and you didn't get half of it. How could you put so much effort into it?"

Mr. Liu smiled and said: "I cultivate my heart in Confucianism, and I don't ask for anything in return. This young man came late and missed a lot, and you deducted more than half of what should have been. , it's not fair to him."

Dr. Zhong shook his head and said: "He is destined to lose, and it would be a pity to give him those things."

Mr. Liu smiled, but did not speak.

……

quickly,

Gu Mo found Baicao Bookstore.

The shopkeeper is a middle-aged woman, whose surname is Bai Cao, so this bookstore is called Baicao Bookstore, and she doesn’t like to talk very much. When she saw Gu Mo taking out the page of Mr. Liu’s book, she took a volume of it directly. Along with a stack of paper, a pen, an inkstone and a can of ink, he handed Gu Mo another 450 dollars.

"Go, go," the shopkeeper Bai Cao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, just copy it to me in a month."

After all, she lay down on the recliner and closed her eyes to rest.

Gu Mo looked at the pile of things in his arms, hugged them and left.

After Gu Mo left,

Bai Cao suddenly opened his eyes, curled his lips, and said: "Mr. Liu, you are being kind, but let me deliver things for you, it's too much!"

at this time,

Mr. Liu, who was in the medical hall, smiled and said, "Don't worry about Miss Bai, don't I also exchange a page of the book?"

Baicao sneered, and said, "All of you scholars are heartless. If you exchange me a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones for one page of the book, and add a copy of the forbidden art of the Yellow Order, will you settle the score?"

Mr. Liu chuckled lightly and said, "If it wasn't because my things weren't suitable for him, I would rather give him the set myself than exchange a page of the book. If Miss Bai loses out crying, or we'll start on credit An account, I will find a set that is exactly the same and pay you back later?"

"Bah, it's a good idea, the older you get, the harder it is," Bai Cao complained, "I'm a little girl who just wants to cheat more from you. How can you figure it out so clearly?"

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I was wrong."

in the hospital,
Dr. Zhong sneered and said, "When it comes to bickering, the only one who can make Confucian disciples deflate is Miss Bai."

Mr. Liu whispered: "The ancients said, don't bicker with women, if you win, you lose, and if you lose, you still lose."

"Which ancient person said that?" Dr. Zhong asked.

Mr. Liu smiled and said, "When I die, that ancient man will naturally appear."

……

in the town,
Gu Mo walked forward slowly with a bunch of things in his arms,

A woodcutter, an old man and a young man carrying firewood, walked towards him.

when passing by,
Gu Mo was stunned suddenly, the young woodcutter turned out to be Song Yu who lived in the small courtyard next door yesterday.

Gu Mo was suddenly puzzled, turned around and shouted, "Song Yu."

Both woodcutters stopped,
The two turned around and looked at Gu Mo. The young woodcutter had a simple and honest smile on his face and asked a little timidly, "My little brother, what do you want me to do?"

Gu Mo looked at Song Yu in surprise, and asked suspiciously, "It's me, Gu Mo, we met yesterday and lived next door to you, don't you remember?"

Song Yu was full of doubts, and said, "Little brother, did you recognize the wrong person?"

"Pear Blossom Lane," Gu Mo said, "You said you just came to the town yesterday to do business."

With a blank face, Song Yu shook his head honestly, and said, "I don't live in Lihua Lane. I have lived in Dongping Lane for more than ten years, and I have never done business!"

"That's right, little brother, you must have misunderstood the person," the older woodcutter also said, "My son has never done business, and we both spent the whole day collecting firewood in the mountains yesterday, and we have never seen the little brother." you!"

Gu Mo frowned slightly,

He could be sure that he did not recognize the wrong person, but the Song Yu in front of him was completely different from the Song Yu he saw yesterday, both in image and temperament.

Yesterday, Song Yu was a chatterbox, with a businessman-like philistine air,

But Song Yu in front of him is a typical honest farmer.

Gu Mo observed carefully,
Neither of them showed any signs of lying.

"It should be that I recognized the wrong person, I'm sorry." Gu Mo said.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Song Yu smiled honestly, followed another woodcutter and left with firewood on his back.

Gu Mo looked at the backs of the two leaving, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He remembered the mysterious man who knocked on the door last night, Dr. Zhong's nagging words before, and Song Yu's statement during the day that he wanted to find out.

Holding a pen, ink, paper and inkstone,

Gu Mo returned to Lihua Lane,

The yard next door is locked, and it seems that no one has been there.

Gu Mo was thinking,

Did the person who knocked on the door last night knock on Song Yu's door after knocking on his own door but not opening it?

Enter the small courtyard, take out the key to open the door,
At that moment,

Gu Mo was stunned. The beds in the room were neatly packed, and there were obvious signs of cleaning in the room. The most obvious thing was that there was a table of ready-made meals in the room. The imperial chefs are even better.

There are fewer dishes on the stove,
There is also less dry firewood on the ground, there is still residual heat on the cleaned pots, and the dishes and chopsticks that were not used in the morning have also been cleaned and placed neatly.

　After the world view is laid out, it's time for everyone to start discussing, how should the protagonist be killed in this small town?
