Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

Chapter 63 Together
After leaving Guangyuan House and walking a certain distance, Lingzhi asked curiously: "How do you know that he is here to pick up the goods?"

"That's a mansion."

"Where?"

Li Guan explained: "The mansion and the store are different from ordinary guest houses. They not only provide accommodation, but also have collapsed houses, which can be used to sell and store goods. However, there are not many people who come to the mansion to do business, so I think that person It's more likely to come to pick up something stored in the store. Just try Xiao Er."

"You even know that."

"My father is a merchant, of course I know."

"But you really have a good idea. That mistress didn't believe us at first, so you just tricked me out. You can be considered a child prodigy like this!"

"Hmm." Li Quan couldn't help being a little elated after being praised so much by her.But he immediately coughed again, "Sir, you said you should be humble, so don't make it public."

"But you are really smart!" Lingzhi said with admiration.

"It's good that you know." Li Yan coughed twice again, although he tried to remain calm, he couldn't hide his brows and eyes with pride.He was in such a good mood that he even forgot to let go of the hand he was holding.

It turned out that after the two asked for clues at the wonton stall, they tried to find the carriage first, but failed, so they asked around for the man's whereabouts, and finally found Guangyuan Shelai.They continued to inquire along the way, and the man seemed to have turned back to the east of the city.It's a pity that after crossing Zhuque Street, the whereabouts of that person were completely lost.Seeing that it was getting late, the two went home first.In order to save money, continue to eat noodles.

But this time it was Li Quan's cook.

Seeing the boy standing on the bench serving noodles, Lingzhi scratched his head apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm not very good at cooking."

"Oh..." Li Quan sighed, "What did you eat on the way to Chang'an?"

"Just eat whatever you want, buy some pancakes or something. If it's in the mountains, it's convenient." Lingzhi suddenly started talking, "Wild fruits, fungi, etc., don't need money. I can also fish for river fish, and I can roast them for a while." Eat it, it's delicious!"

"Where did you fish in Chang'an, the release pond in Dongshi?"

"...I'm just talking."

"I can't believe that you can come to Chang'an from Chengdu."

Later, the two chatted about the mysterious man while eating.

"Do you think he has something to do with your family?"

"I'm not sure, but there's only this clue at the moment. Xiao Er said that the man wanted to pick up the goods from Zhuangzhou, right?"

"Where is Zhuangzhou?"

"Chengdu still has to go south."

"Oh."

"Is it really such a coincidence?" Li Quan murmured to himself, "The man with a southwest accent, the goods from Zhuangzhou, my father is specialized in traveling the Southwest trade route..."

"Did your father say anything in a letter recently?"

"Not yet. He usually sends a letter home every two months. Calculating the time, the next letter will arrive at the end of the month."

"Shall we continue to look for that person tomorrow?"

"No rush. Today's Didian reminded me. Tomorrow, I want to go to the inn to find out if there is any caravan I know. Maybe there is news about my father."

It was night, and the two of them went to bed early, because they found that apart from the mystery of the disappearance of the Li family, there was nothing else to talk about.After sleeping until midnight, Li Quan woke up suddenly.Although he has better cooking time than Lingzhi, unlike her who almost cooked a pot of batter, but when making the soup base, he put too many seasonings and drank a lot of water before going to bed. thirsty.

In a daze, he ran to the latrine, took another sip of water, and was about to go back to sleep again, but when he stood in front of the kang and took a look under the moonlight, he found that there was no one on the kang!
Li Quan woke up suddenly.
