Chapter 17

"Hmph! I'm just worried! I'll go too!" After speaking, he followed. . "Hey...Xia Butou wait for me..."

Han Quce shook his head, and approached an open-air teahouse next to him. Lu Yu also went in. Ahu and Axiu stood in a daze, and suddenly Axiu patted Ahu, "Why don't you go in?"

"Oh..." Ah Hu hurriedly carried his luggage and walked into the teahouse.Axiu was left alone shaking her head, "This idiot..." She didn't know who to talk about.

After Han Quce and Lu Yu sat in the teahouse for a while, Xia Yan came with Xiang Hua.

"Sit down." Lu Yu motioned him to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.

"My lord, I found it. But it's not much." Xia Yan put the sword on the table and drank tea, "I found out where her family lived, but she wasn't at home, so I asked her neighbors, and they said She didn't go to work three days ago, maybe she went somewhere else by boat."

"Not here? It happened to be when the letter was sent to the Yamen three days ago," Lu Yu asked suspiciously. "Do you know where she works?"

"It's in a grocery store on the street."

"Okay, let's go have a look."

A group of people came to a small store, and there were a lot of things in it.

"Wow... here are not only wood carved by mermaids, but also clay figurines." Xiang Hua stared intently.

"There are also hairpins that look like mermaids, and hanging ornaments, so beautiful, and the mermaid embroidered on the lucky bag, so exquisite." Axiu rejoices, girls like these.

"This small island is closely related to the mermaid." Han Quce looked around curiously, holding a rattle with a mermaid engraved on it.

"Yes, it's the first time I've seen it too." Lu Yu touched a fan with a mermaid painted on it, lifelike.

"Welcome everyone." A plainly dressed aunt came out from behind the curtain.

"This is the lady boss..." Lu Yu stepped forward to say hello.

"I am the proprietress of this store, what do you guys need to buy?"

"We're here to ask someone, Mo Nu."

"Tell me about her. She hasn't come for several days. Maybe it's because she lost the arrow of the mermaid, so she's afraid to hide."

"Arrow of the Mermaid?" Everyone came over curiously.

"Yes, today happens to be the annual mermaid celebration on our island. Mo Nu accidentally lost the arrow she got from last year's celebration, so she has been terrified for the past few days, deeply afraid that the mermaid will Find her for revenge."

"Where are there mermaids in this world?" Lu Yu was helpless.

"There are indeed mermaids in the world." A sudden voice came out to refute him, everyone was startled, and when they looked back, it was a woman in purple.

"It's you, Ami." The proprietress smiled, obviously she knew the person in front of her.

"Because there is a real event that people in the world can live forever after eating mermaid meat, and the long-lived old woman made mermaid arrows with the hair grown by her thoughts, no matter who falls into the hands, she can achieve immortality It is reasonable for her to leave this island in fear of the mermaid's revenge after losing such an important arrow." After finishing speaking, she left.

"Who is this?" Xiang Hua asked dissatisfied.

"Shall I go and question her?" Xia Yan asked Lu Yu for instructions.

"No, we will definitely meet her again." Lu Yu's intuition told him.

"This is a friend who grew up with the stranger." The proprietress replied.

"Then who is the long-lived old woman she mentioned?"

"It is the protagonist of today's celebration and the symbol of our island, that old lady Luo, we call her Luo Po."

"So how old is this Luo Po?" Lu Yu began to be a little interested
