Yuanshin: The duty of the inspector is to eat melons

The little girl replied tremblingly: "Little...Ming..."

Enough hell.After making a comment in his heart, Tavenal continued, "Why is it under my bed?"

Xiao Ming became even more frightened, bowed his head guiltily, and twitched his fingers together: "Xiao Ming...want to play games with my sister..."

"Does your game mean grabbing the quilt with me in the middle of the night?"

Is this a question of grabbing the quilt?Before Xiao Ming could answer, Tavernaar continued: "It's not good to disturb others' sleep."

"Xiao Ming... I know I was wrong... Sister... Can you forgive Xiao Ming..."

The little girl's erratic voice was still chilling, but Tavernall was more upset at this moment.

"Do you know that I haven't had a good sleep for almost two days?" Her voice was calm, but she could still feel the resentment in it.

Xiao Ming: "I'm sorry..."

"Xiaoming is just alone...too lonely...my former friends...don't play with willing Xiaoming anymore...Xiaoming...has no friends..."

Tavernal stared at the little girl, and finally found information related to Xiao Ming from the corners of his memory.

The little guy who was fostered at the Wangshu Inn and was so frightened that the chef laughed and exploded and didn't want to enter the kitchen.

"You want a friend?" Tavernaar's face lost a lot of coldness, Xiao Ming noticed the softening of the other party's attitude, and nodded repeatedly.

"Sister...would you like to be Xiao Ming's friend..." She showed an empty smile, thinking that she was okay again.

It's a pity that the elder sister who was squatting on the opposite side was still not afraid at all, but instead stretched out her hand to her.

The smile on Xiao Ming's face couldn't be maintained again, and he watched in confusion as the other party really reached out to her.

"Didn't you say that being alone is too lonely?"

Tavernal's voice was still steady, lacking the necessary emotional expression, but it was enough to move Xiao Ming slightly.

Is there really someone who is willing to accept her like this?Xiao Ming stretched out his hands a little tremblingly, and the palms of one big and one small were held together.

Tavernaar felt the touch on her hands. Although their hands touched together visually, she only felt that what she was holding was a mass of air.

Tavenal stood up slowly, and Xiao Ming was led out by her in cooperation.

The floating bed was lowered gently without making any sound.

Xiao Ming stood beside Tavenal, looking up at her profile.

"Xiao Ming, how long have you been here alone? Where's your family?"

Tavernaar was sitting on a chair by the window, the clear moonlight passing through his hair, as clear as gems.

"Xiao Ming... I can't remember clearly..."

Xiao Ming's eyes were empty, and his voice was constantly swirling around with the cold wind.

"Do you still remember how you got here?" Tavernaar asked again.

"Remember... Xiao Ming came here with a good-looking big brother... The big brother is scary... Mmm... scarier than my sister..."

Tavernaar wanted to ask something more, but Xiao Ming seemed to think of something, and suddenly became excited: "Xiao Ming answered sister's question...in exchange... my sister came to play hide-and-seek with Xiao Ming..."

Boy, playing hide and seek with you, that's what horror stories unfold.Tavernaer nodded and shook his head lightly, "But there are only two of us, playing hide-and-seek is too easy, not challenging."

Xiao Ming scratched his head in distress, "But Xiao Ming has no other friends..."

The corners of Taverna's lips curled up in a slight arc, "It's okay, my sister has other friends, we can ask her to play with her."

Xiao Ming became happy, but immediately lowered his head in depression: "Xiao Ming doesn't want to scare... my sister's friend..."

"It's okay, she's not afraid." Tavenal stood up and walked towards the door. "Come on, let's go find her."

Chapter 10 The Warm-hearted Hall Master Hu

Tavernal knocked on the door of Hutao's room, and it didn't take long for Hutao to open the door with a hutch, rubbing his eyes and looking out the door.

"It's been a while since I've seen you, and you miss me?" Her vague words stopped abruptly after she saw the door clearly.

Her plum-blossom eyes opened wider and wider, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Hey, my good sister really takes care of my business, and introduced me to new clients so quickly."

Hu Tao rubbed his hands, and smiled kindly at Xiao Ming: "Hi, kid, what kind of coffin do you like? Do you have any special requirements for the funeral?"

Xiao Ming shrank half of her body behind Tavenal, seeing walnuts was like seeing some kind of natural enemy, her innate fear made her subconsciously dive into the floor to escape, but the surroundings seemed to be sealed off. In the invisible hood, her specialness has no effect.

So he had no choice but to hide behind Tavernar, showing a timid smile at Hu Tao.

"This is Xiao Ming. He said that he is lonely without friends. I remember that you are more authoritative in this matter, so this child will trouble you. How about it? As for the expenses, I will pay in advance on her behalf until I find her family."

Hu Tao nodded like a pounding garlic, and stepped forward to embrace Xiao Ming very enthusiastically, "You are so pitiful, but fortunately you met us, come, come, let's go into the room and chat slowly, sister has many new friends here to accompany you Play."

"Then I'll trouble you." Tavernaar breathed a sigh of relief.

Watching Tavenal return to the room, Hu Tao smiled lightly, embraced the stiff Xiao Ming and walked into the room, the cold wind blew by, and the door behind him closed automatically without being touched.

On the second day, Tavernal was woken up by a knock on the door, "Tavernal, the sun is drying your ass, it's time to get up!"

Although she didn't sleep well last night and was disturbed halfway, she still felt that her spirit had been greatly restored.

"I heard it." He raised his voice slightly and responded to the walnuts outside.

"I'll wait for you below!" Hu Tao said again, and then the footsteps moved away.

Tavernal stretched his waist, a carp got out of bed, dressed, and washed in one go. .

When she took the escalator downstairs while pressing her curly hair, Hu Tao had already ordered a relatively light breakfast and was waving at her to signal her to go.

"Come, try Liyue's special breakfast food. Although the head chef of Wangshu Inn is always absent-minded during this time, the other cooks are also pretty good, so it's not a waste of time to come."

Hu Tao handed her a pair of chopsticks.

Yan Xiao, it won't be long before he regains his composure.Heh, the macho chef who was scared by Xiao Ming and dared not enter the kitchen.

The two of them had breakfast, checked out of the room, and headed towards Liyue Port again.

On the way, Tavenal asked about Xiao Ming.

"How is Xiao Ming?"

Walnut held out her hand and showed off her rings, "Having a lot of fun with new friends here."

"The child must have suffered a big blow before his death, and now he doesn't remember much about his life."

"However, she said that she remembered playing hide-and-seek with a few friends on the boat. Of course, the place where Liyue has the most boats is Liyue Port. I want to take her back to Liyue Port first, and maybe I can find some clues then."

Hu Tao shook his hands, looked and looked under the sun, and suddenly smiled.

"The child asked me to thank you, saying that you really didn't lie to her..."

As if thinking of something, Hu Tao suddenly pursed her lips and shrugged her shoulders non-stop. After a while, she couldn't help it anymore, and patted Tavernaar's shoulder and laughed: "I really didn't expect you to look serious. , There are so many bad intentions, Xiao Ming told me yesterday that you deceive children like this, hahahaha, she even wants to thank you..."

Tavernaar expressionless: "..."

"Okay, okay, if this continues, I won't be able to walk anymore. Hey, it's been a long time since I've had such fun." Hu Tao finally covered her stomach and straightened her waist, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, with a look He looked melancholy that he had worked very hard.

Seeing her like this, Tavenal felt inexplicably better, and even smiled a little when he relaxed.

"Hey hey hey, you laughed! I thought you couldn't laugh!" Walnut was so novel, Tavernal covered his mouth with his hands and coughed dryly, then changed back to that wooden face with a nonchalant expression,

"Wow, so the facial paralysis is an act, oh, come on, laugh again and again..." Hu Tao actually took her arm and shook it.

You seem to be suffering from a serious illness... Tavenal walked forward with a serious face, and the walnuts were grinding beside him relentlessly, and the voice of a girl laughing and laughing, which is rare in Guiliyuan—although it was only one person, But it was already lively enough.

The two walked like this, and Hu Tao found new fun again, humming a song that others could not understand and striding in the middle of the road, while Tavernaar carried her suitcase and staff, making no difference to the most ordinary pedestrians. two.

"Help—Is there anyone—"

Hu Tao stopped in her tracks and turned her ears, "Did you hear any noise?"

"Someone should be calling for help." Tavernaar also looked around, looking for the source of the voice.

"Let's go and have a look, maybe it's a new customer." Hu Tao was eager to try.Of course, what she said was mostly a joke, but others often couldn't accept someone joking in this regard.

The two followed the sound, and soon found the person calling for help behind a mound that deviated from the road.

It was a man in his thirties, wearing Liyue's most common clothes, seeing someone approaching, it was like finding a savior.

"Here, here I am! Two kind-hearted people passing by, my foot seems to be broken, and I can't even stand up now. Are you two going to Liyue Port? Can you take me with you!"

"How did you get hurt?" Tavernaar looked at the opponent's feet, which were only slightly red from the outside, so he asked a question.

Hearing this, the man's face was full of remorse and resentment, and he kept talking about how unlucky he was.

Originally just going home to visit relatives, he never thought that he would encounter bad people on the road, so he had to spread his money to eliminate the disaster, but he didn't expect that the other party regretted and wanted to kill him. Fortunately, he ran fast, and it was dark at that time, so he let him escape Lost the robber.

But it was also because of the darkness that he accidentally twisted his foot, so he had to hide behind the mound until dawn, and only dared to call for help when those people left.

"Sigh, I shouldn't have left this trip. I finally lost all my belongings. Now I don't have the face to go back to my hometown. I can only go back to Liyue Port and work for a few more years, alas..."

Hu Tao touched his chin and thought, "What do you think?"

She asked Taverner about this, and Taverner actually sympathized with the experience described by this man, but she always felt that something was weird.

"I don't have any objections. You are more familiar with Liyue, so it's up to you to decide."

Hu Tao nodded, and suddenly tilted his ears slightly, as if he heard something, and smiled.

"That's fine, we can take you along, but you've also seen that our two little girls don't have much strength, so I'm afraid we won't be able to provide much help. If you really want to walk, you have to rely on yourself."

"Hey, that's fine, I'll just wait for you two, and there will be expenses on the way. When I get to Liyue Port, I'll ask the foreman to advance some of the money and return it to the two of you first."

"Okay, then let's go~" Hu Tao found a fairly strong wooden stick to use as a crutch for him, and the three of them continued to move forward like this.

On the way, Hu Tao approached Tavenal, chuckled lowly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Do you know why I brought him?"

"Why." Tavernal asked rhetorically.

"It doesn't take much effort to get here, Xiao Ming knows that person."

Hu Tao's smile was different from the previous lively and cunning, she glanced back, the meaning was unclear.

Chapter 11 Windfall

Do you know Xiao Ming?

Tavernal's eyes moved slightly. Although he didn't ask much, he became more vigilant towards the person behind him.

Hu Tao took a few steps back to the point where he could keep pace with the man, and started talking to the other party without a word, seemingly chatting, but quietly prying out the information in the other party's mouth.

Although Hu Tao feels too lively, she is far from the word "innocence". It is impossible for a person who took over from her grandfather at the age of 14 and has not made any major omissions in the operation so far. It is impossible for her to be an ignorant little girl.

In other words, it is precisely because of the particularity of her growth environment that she has never seen any less human darkness.

Tavernaar listened to the conversation between the two people behind, listening to Hu Tao prying out information from the other party's mouth little by little.

Ah Xu, who claims to be a worker at Liyue Wharf. His hometown is Qingcezhuang. This trip home is to visit his old father. Passers-by took him back to Liyue.

It sounds nothing at first glance, but if you taste it carefully, you can find many unreasonable places.

For example, he couldn't explain the general flow of the daily operation of the pier, or why he chose such a season to return home. After all, there is no holiday and there is no holiday. Soon Liyue will hold a fairy ceremony, and most people don't know. will miss that point in time.

Moreover, most people who seek help from the Metropolis will choose an adult male who seems more reliable, or entrust him to send him to the Qianyan Army.

Tavernaar glanced at his staff, did he feel that the holder of the Eye of God is more reliable?

It is not impossible, but the vigilance should not be less.

"It's noon so soon, and there is still a distance to Liyue Port, why don't we eat lunch first?"

Ah Xu suggested, he pointed to his feet, and smiled wryly: "And I can't walk anymore."

Boss and the others should have already set up an ambush, and then I will use incense when they are eating... Hehe, they have successfully taken down many people with this method, including the holder of the Eye of God.

As long as you walk into the trap, under the effect of the special fragrance, even if you don't have the eyes of God, you will only be a little sheep at the mercy of others.

Hu Tao and Tavenal looked at each other, and Hu Tao nodded first, "That's okay, um, there is a thatched hut for rest in front, let's use a pot to make a fire."

There are often such thatched huts on the official roads for people on the road to rest and repair. They are repaired with funds from Yuehai Pavilion, and they are generally equipped with simple tables, chairs and stoves.

The three of them approached the thatched hut that was slightly off the official path. Ah Xu carefully looked at the agreed-upon ambush spots, making sure that his companions were in ambush. His heart became more calm, and he felt that the two of them had been determined. .

At that time, both human and divine eyes can be sold at a high price, and the rare two good embryos will definitely be worth a lot of money.

Ah Xu gestured to the boss who was lurking next to the thatched cottage, indicating that everything was as usual.

Hu Tao and A Xu walked in front, Tavernar slowed down, thinking about what to eat for noon, he was a little tired of dry food, if only a wild boar or hare would be fine...
