Chapter 559 Strange Man

"What's wrong, Tu Laowu, have you taken a fancy to him?"

"Old Bao, don't you fucking Hu Qin, didn't you see that this girl is carrying a knife, maybe she will be good at kung fu and kill you in a while."

Shen Weilan turned a deaf ear to their nonsense, because she knew that if she still walked around in women's clothing, she would cause trouble, but she didn't expect that she would still cause trouble in men's clothing now.

"Why? The proprietress doesn't do women's business?" Shen Weilan asked in a deep voice.

"Of course not, it's just strange, you are a little girl, why are you traveling alone? Where is your adult?" The proprietress asked with a smile, her eyes seemed to be seductive and kept glancing behind Shen Weilan.

"I'm alone!" Shen Weilan said calmly, seeing that there was still an empty table in the store, she took off the backpack on her back, put it on a long stool beside her, and said. "Miss Boss, give me two taels of meat buns and a plate of peanuts."

Shen Luo taught her many and varied things. He not only taught her martial arts, but also taught her dialects and accents from various places.So when she came in, she used the accent of Beichen, and no one doubted her.

"Okay!" The proprietress agreed, turned around and entered the back kitchen, picked up a plate of steamed stuffed buns in a short while, brought out a plate of peanuts, and put them on the table for her.

Shen Weilan took a look at the shop without any trace, the shop is not big, there are four Eight Immortals tables inside, the other three are full of people, one table is a traveling merchant, the other two tables are acquaintances in this town, interacting with each other Eat together at the table, and chat and joke with each other.

She felt lucky to be able to have an empty table by herself. She didn't like to eat at the same table with strangers, which would make her feel insecure, not to mention that the guests here were all rough men. She can't stand the taste.

Of course, she hasn't showered for several days, and she knows that she doesn't smell much better either.

The proprietress served her food, but she didn't leave immediately, but sat down, "The little girl is a foreigner?"

Shen Weilan knew that in such a small town, every household probably knew each other, so being a foreigner was naturally very eye-catching, especially at my age, being alone was even more suspicious.

She nodded, but did not speak. Instead, she picked up the teapot on the table, poured a little balsamic vinegar into the vinegar dish in front of her, then grabbed a meat bun with chopsticks, ate it with vinegar, and showed herself with her attitude I don't want to talk to the proprietress too much.

But the proprietress talked to her unrelentingly, "Where did the little girl come from? Where is she going? Why is she traveling alone? Where is your adult?"

Shen Weilan thought for a while, she was a newcomer, she didn't know where this place was, and she didn't know how far it was from the capital city, so she should inquire, so she raised her eyes to look at the proprietress, and said with a smile: "Madam proprietress, I will follow my family I went out to visit relatives, but I was separated from my family, lost my way, and planned to go back to the capital, but I don’t know where this is, nor how far it is from the capital, can you tell me?”

She spoke with a capital accent without flaws. The proprietress laughed when she heard this, and said, "Let me just say, why do you, a little girl, come out to wander the rivers and lakes alone? The world is so chaotic outside, you little girl It is easy to encounter danger. Not to mention other places, there is a group of horse thieves in the nearby Horse Whip Mountain. The reason why our town is safe and sound is because we pay protection fees every year. If you go to the capital, But if you want to pass by the foot of the horse whip mountain, you are a little girl, and you are so beautiful, maybe you will be snatched away."

As for what to do, she didn't say clearly, but Shen Weilan knew it in her heart.

She smiled, "Is there no way to pass safely?"

"It's not that there is no way, it just depends on whether you have money?" The proprietress giggled and trembled. "Horse thieves, what you want is either a woman or money. If you have money, give me a few hundred taels, and I'll help you intercede with the horse thieves. Maybe they won't rob you."

Shen Weilan smiled, knowing that the proprietress is not simple, and the town is not simple, maybe it was sent by the horse whip mountain guard here.

"Does the proprietress think I look like a rich man? When my parents and I were separated, I pawned all the jewelry on my body to exchange some money and came here. Now that the money is almost spent, I am thinking about whether to find How much money is earned by working part-time in this place as travel expenses, is the lady boss short of people here?" She pretended to cry poorly, and she must not show it when she is out of the house.

The proprietress smiled slightly, "Speaking of which, I really lack a handyman here. The salary is two renminbi a month, but I don't know if you are willing to do it?"

Shen Weilan's eyes widened in feigned surprise, "Really? Then let me thank the proprietress first! The proprietress should provide three meals, right?"

Immediately afterwards, Shen Weilan made a shy expression.

"Of course!" The proprietress smiled ambiguously.

At this moment, the businessman who was walking around the table said, "Miss Boss, pay the bill!"

The proprietress hurried over to settle the accounts, "One pot of tea, two catties of meat buns, a total of 65 copper coins."

One of the businessmen took money out of the purse, and a young businessman got up and walked over to Shen Weilan's table, and said in a deep voice: "We are going to the capital too, so I can pick you up for a while, work here, and save money for a year." Not enough to travel to the capital!"

Shen Weilan opened her mouth wide in surprise, she was a little confused, how could such a good thing happen to her?
She raised her eyes to look at this young man, and saw that he was not very old, he was just in his early twenties, he looked very handsome and handsome, he was wearing a black suit that ordinary people would wear when walking in the rivers and lakes, with leggings on his feet, and his hands Carrying a sword.

His appearance is very serious, his eyes are very upright, and people can tell at a glance that he is the kind of very upright person.

However, Shen Weilan felt that if he just accepted his help, wouldn't it be a bit too casual?
And knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, just like Wen Mo, who is very upright on weekdays, but secretly does things that make people despise.

Just like Xuan Yu, he always looks dignified and serious in front of others, but in front of her, his daughter-in-law is longer than his daughter-in-law.

So she was a little afraid to accept this man's kindness, for fear that this man was a human trafficker.

Of course, the proprietress of this shop is not a good person, but she is not afraid of the proprietress, the proprietress does not know martial arts at first glance, even if there are some dirty tricks, she can handle it.

But this man is different, looking at his eyes and slightly raised temples, she knew he was a master.

"Oh, my son, why are you still robbing me? It's not easy for my shop to hire a handyman!" When the proprietress heard that he planned to take Shen Weilan on the road together, she was a little unhappy, and immediately ran over be opposed to.

It really made Shen Weilan guess right, this proprietress is not a good person, she is the horse thief sent by the horse whip mountain to inquire about the news in this town, if there is any "fat sheep" passing by, she will send her staff to ride fast horses in advance report.

Robbery is also a laborious task. If a large number of people are dispatched once, if they can only rob three or five taels of silver, it is not enough to fit between the teeth.

So step on it in advance and pick the "fat sheep" who carry huge sums of money to start.

The proprietress questioned her, but she didn't find out if Shen Weilan had money, but she saw that the clothes on her were brand new, and instinctively told her that this girl was lying.

That's why she wanted to keep her. Besides wanting to rob her of the money, she also planned to give her to the horse thief on the horsewhip mountain.

There is no way, she has never met a girl as fresh as Shen Weilan in her life, and this is the first time.

She thought that the leader would be very happy.

Although this girl is younger, but fortunately she is beautiful, and the boss likes young children.

Unexpectedly, this guest who happened to be passing by made a slap in the face, trying to take him away. How could this be possible?

The young man glanced coldly, and two sharp eyes shot at the proprietress's face. The proprietress was startled by his eyes, and did not dare to speak again.

"I'll ask you again, do you want to go on the road with us?" The young man finished staring at the proprietress, and then turned his attention to Shen Weilan.

"I... still can't." Shen Weilan smiled and rejected his kindness, although she had an intuition that it would be much safer if she went on the road with this man, but she has a more important thing to do now, which is to engage in a Zhang Luyin.

Luyin is a person's identity certificate, which is the case in any country. Without Luyin, it is difficult to go out.

Following these people, she may not be able to get a guide, but staying in this town is different.

She couldn't believe that there was no little girl around her age in this town!

She believed that with her skill, stealing a road guide would be very easy.

Seeing that she rejected his offer, the young man pursed his lips into a line in displeasure, but he didn't say anything, but turned around and left with his companions.

Everyone got on their horses and left the town. Since they had just eaten, they didn't let the horses run too fast, but let the horses walk slowly.

Another man about his age asked, "Nian En, you can't meddle in your own business when you're away from home!"

The young man named Nian En said lightly: "I just think she looks like one, no, she looks like two people."

The man asked curiously, "Like who?"

"My two older sisters, I remember, looked exactly like her when they were young."

Shen Weilan didn't know that at this time, she happened to miss each other with her long-lost uncle because she was dealing with the proprietress.

"Little girl, it's right for you to do this. Those stinky men are human traffickers at first glance. They want you to go with them just to sell you to that dirty place. You stay here and work hard. The aunt will not treat you badly." Yes, by the way, I haven't asked your name yet, what's your name? Do you have a guide?" The proprietress educated Shen Weilan endlessly, and then asked her name, trying to find out her details.
