Chapter 27 Rain

"Booming" a muffled thunder traversed the sky, and the bustling streets were suddenly startled.

"Gouzi, go home quickly and collect your mother's clothes!" A fishmonger quickly tidied up the stall in the vegetable market.

The tanned and energetic young man packed the fish on hand and wiped it on his clothes: "Then you clean it up yourself, Dad. I'll go back quickly, or there won't be a quilt to cover at night."

"Go, go, it's easier for me alone." The fishmonger replied without raising his head.

"Come on." The young man got up, crossed the long street lightly, and turned into a small alley at the fork.

The noisy vegetable market behind him got farther and farther away, until there was no sound at all.

It was still dark yet, but the alleyway seemed particularly quiet. I don't know whether it was because he was anxious to go home or for psychological reasons. The young man took a breath and unconsciously ran faster.

Moss crawled ferociously all over the walls on both sides, and the dark and damp alleyway exuded an air of resistance. The young man moved a little faster, wanting to plunge into the light at the end as soon as possible.

But the light just disappeared.

Two sullen-faced men suddenly jumped out from both sides of the fork, one from the left and the other from the right. They deftly covered their pockets and struck a hand knife, and the young man just lost consciousness.

"This kid has a good physique and can be sold for a good price."

"I don't know what's going on with the third child?"

"Whatever, we have enough here anyway, drag this kid back and call it a day."

"It has to be transported there before winter, otherwise it will be a big loss if you have two dead in your hands."

The two tied the bags skillfully, carried the young man on their shoulders, chatted casually, and left in the other direction of the alley.

After the chattering sound faded away, the alleyway returned to calm. From time to time, there were birds on the eaves, chirping and embellishing the sound of the alleyway.

It seems that nothing happened, but at the fork in the middle of the alley, a few transparent scales were left lying there quietly.

"Huh la la la", the heavy rain came as promised, and poured it on Liangzhou City's head.

Zhang Yong and his party were trapped in a restaurant by the heavy rain, and the shopkeeper smiled and delivered a pot of wine and a pot of tea.

"Hey, Chen Mo, how are you doing?" Zhang Yong curiously asked the man on the left with ointment on the corners of his eyes.

The man called Chen Mo pouted and carefully counted the pieces of silver on his hand.

"Oh, brother, I really admire you. I counted it clearly from the side. 45 taels is right." The man on the other side frowned and served Zhang Yongman a glass of wine.

Zhang Yong took a sip with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, as the saying goes, if you let him count, there's nothing to do now anyway."

Chang Yan shook his head, filled a glass for himself, and asked Zhang Yong curiously: "I said, Lao Zhang, what method did you use? This time the collection is so neat? Usually there are so many stores every time." The door of the shop was knocked down."

"It's because you guys did a good job in the preparations." Zhang Yong thought to himself, if it weren't for your Guishuitang's notoriously vicious collection of money, my bitter trick wouldn't have worked so well.

It's a pity, there will be one or two more "diehards" today, at least he can earn some chivalry points.Zhang Yong's bitter wine entered his throat, and he felt a dull pain in his heart.

"It's counted! 45 taels!" Chen Mo suddenly raised his head.

"Come, come, we have worked hard, old Chen, and counted back and forth eight hundred times." Chang Yan filled Chen Mo with a glass of eccentricity.

"Shopkeeper! Bring a tablecloth, let me wipe it!" At this time, a man in a long gown rushed in despite the heavy rain.

"It's raining so hard, why don't you close the stall early." In the house, the wife wiped the fishmonger's head carefully with a cloth, and took out clean clothes.

The fishmonger took off his wet clothes quickly, and said with a smile: "I planned to clean up early in the morning, but I can't tell when it will rain? No one was buying fish and wasted some time. I asked Gouzi to come back first to help You collect your clothes."

The wife looked puzzled after hearing this: "I just wanted to ask, I didn't see the dog?"

The fishmonger's clothed hand froze in the air. The two looked at each other and changed their expressions at the same time.

"What?! Lost another one?!" The store owner's surprised voice attracted everyone's attention.

"Isn't that right? We lost three in the north of the city, and four in the south of the city." The man in the long coat wiped his hair and said, "You have to be careful and tell your kid not to go out these few days."

"I know, I know." The two of them ended the conversation in an anticlimactic manner, without further content.

"Sir, what's the matter? Please tell everyone in detail. Anyway, it's raining so hard, it's okay for everyone to be trapped here."

Naturally, Zhang Yong was the one who asked the question, and he keenly sensed the mission from the conversation.

When the man in the long gown saw that Zhang Yong's table was full of Guishui Tang costumes, he hesitated for a moment. When the store owner saw it, he quickly answered: "Brother, you just came to Liangzhou and don't know about this. Liangzhou City is like this recently. , there are always some young people missing, mostly men, but also women. Their families reported it to the government, but the government did not find any results. I don’t know why, but it has become more frequent in recent days. "

"There are so many people in Guishuitang, even if you think about it, you won't be able to offend any bandits." The man in the long coat answered lightly, causing the shopkeeper to rip his shirt secretly in fright.

"So that's the case, thank you to the shopkeeper." Zhang Yong answered with cupped hands.

It's just fun to listen to these market news. If you really want to know the information, you have to look at our system.

"Ding!"

Mission Released: Liangzhou Missing Persons Case

Task content: Rescue the missing persons trapped in Liangzhou.

Task reward: Chivalry worth 370 points.

Remarks: In the dark alley on a rainy night, no one is there.

Plum!This was Zhang Yong's first reaction.

Leaving aside the novice mission and the stage mission the day before yesterday, this mission is the one with the highest chivalrous value reward that Zhang Yong has ever seen, which shows that there are many people involved.

"Old Zhang, I didn't expect you to be interested in these anecdotes, how about I tell you?" Chang Yan, who was at the same table, said cheerfully.

"It's okay, it just happened to hit me." Zhang Yong replied absent-mindedly, his attention has been completely absorbed by 370 points of chivalry.
Just looking at it like this, the chivalry value has risen to 400 points.

I'll go, is there anyone missing?These people are crazy.

No, the disappearances started early, it's not crazy.Zhang Yong faintly smelled a sense of anxiety.

Zhang Yong recalled Lao Qian's words yesterday: "Winter is coming soon, and robbers outside the city are rampant."

Is love another criminal gang that rushes to achieve results at the end of the year?
Zhang Yong turned to Chang Yan and asked, "Old Chang, are there a lot of weird things like this before winter?"

"That's right, everyone is rushing to prepare for the winter. Isn't it the same for Meng Liang who ran to the den of thieves. What's the matter, Lao Zhang, don't you like winter?"

Zhang Yong took a sip of wine and said hotly: "No, it's good to spend the winter. Winter is here, and spring is not far away."

Chang Yan also took a sip and savored carefully: "Old Zhang, what you said is right, how should I put it, it has some charm."

"Yeah." Chen Mo nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yong didn't answer, and looked outside the shop with a smile, quietly waiting for the rain to stop.
