Chapter 382 Salty Milk Tea
Chapter 382 Salty Milk Tea
Now, if Ye Lingchuan wants to determine where Xiao is, the quickest way is to contact Baili Ling and others.
It is precisely because of this that Xiao has this doubt.
Green Mandrill said: "It is not ruled out that their mission is related to us."
Xiao thought for a moment and then asked, "So, could it be that Qiu Liuyun is actually fine?"
After saying that, he felt a little annoyed again.
If he could ask Qiu Liuyun directly about this matter, he would get the answer immediately and it would not bother him at this moment, but he didn't have Qiu Liuyun's contact information.
The communication stone in his hand was just like an ordinary stone, and he often forgot that he had such a magic weapon in his hand.
Thinking of this, Xiao took a lesson and decided to make good use of the communication stone in the future.
Soon, Xiao thought of another somewhat tortuous verification method.
"Qiu Liuyun is working for Yuanliu, and Huang Guxuan is considered a senior member of Yuanliu. He should be able to help find out about Qiu Liuyun's situation. Ling Xiao, can you contact him?"
The wooden sign hanging from Xiao's waist swayed slightly, and a voice emanated from it: "I cannot contact him directly, but I can summon him using the mark he left on me. However, he should be busy with important matters in the Dragon Bone Abyss right now, and I do not recommend disturbing him at this time."
Hearing that Huang Guxuan was busy with his own things, Xiao didn't ask any more questions, but silently gave up the idea of calling him over.
What else can we do next?
Go to Yufengmen in person to verify?
Not to mention that if Ye Lingchuan did not lie, this move would waste a lot of time and might even cause unpredictable changes in Qiu Liuyun's situation. Just the simple eight words "Where is the Yufeng Gate and how do I get there" were enough to stump him.
But he couldn't just do nothing and let things develop, right?
There are definitely potholes in the road.
Hong Xiao also said at this time: "If only we had our own bodies, we could split up and go find Qiu Liuyun with me. Let him go to Huozhou to investigate."
"Why should I go to Fire State?" asked Green Goblin.
"Golden-winged Peng King... isn't that you I'm talking about?" Hong Xiao said frivolously, "Or do you need my protection?"
"That's not necessary."
Xiao was extremely confused because of his recent discovery. Now the red Xiao started to provoke the green Xiao as usual, which gave him a headache.
He interrupted the two Xiaos' conversation unhappily: "Let's put aside our unrealistic fantasies for now. What are your opinions on this matter?"
Hong Xiao said, "What if the fantasy comes true?" and then shut his mouth completely.
He is not good at analyzing problems.
At this time, Lu Xiao said, "General Ye, I don't know that you can't contact Qiu Liuyun. He shouldn't lie about this matter."
"So, Qiu Liuyun did get into trouble, but there are definitely more people waiting for us in Huozhou who can save Qiu Liuyun," Xiao concluded.
At present, it is still unknown whether Huozhou has a way to save Qiu Liuyun, but what is certain is that there is a high probability that something is waiting for him there.
It seems that I need to find out more about the news from Huozhou tomorrow.
Soon, the night passed.
This time when he woke up in the morning, Xiao did not see hot sweet porridge and barbecue on the table. It seemed that Red Xiao had a good rest last night and did not run around.
Xiao came down from upstairs and saw four familiar faces in the front hall. Except for Baili Ling himself, all the other members of Baili Ling's team were gathered around a table eating breakfast.
After last night's speculation, Xiao felt that there was an extra barrier between him and them, and he could no longer fully trust them.
However, now is not the time to break up with them, let's just pretend nothing happened.
Xiao noticed that Ding Shu, who was sitting facing the stairs, had a slight change in expression, obviously because he saw him.
The second person to discover him was Zhao Gaoli, who was sitting next to Ding Shu.
At this moment, Ding Shu winked frantically at Zhao Gaoli, but the latter seemed to have misunderstood his intention and called out to Xiao, "Xiao, do you want to come over for breakfast?"
When Ding Shu heard this, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, as if he had eaten shit.
When Xiao approached, he suddenly stood up, said "I'm done eating", and ran away.
Hey, this guy, it’s been so many days, why is he still avoiding me like the plague?
It can't be that I keep appearing in his nightmares due to the aftereffects of his anger, right?
Xiao watched Ding Shu's back as he walked away, then walked over to the newly vacated seat and sat down without changing his expression.
There was an uneaten breakfast on the table, and Zhao Gaoli placed it in front of Xiao.
It was a few pieces of patties and a bowl of what looked like Assamese milk tea.
Xiao sniffed lightly and smelled the aroma of fresh milk and...some kind of tea.
Apparently, because Xiao had been staring at the bowl of liquid, Zhao Gaoli introduced it, "This is a local specialty, salty milk tea. Would you like to try it?"
"milk tea?"
Xiao subconsciously ignored the word "salty". His gaze stayed on Zhao Gaoli's face for a moment, and finally moved to the bowl of liquid that looked like Assam milk tea. Curiosity filled his heart.
Xiao picked up the bowl and took a small sip. The next moment, his face suddenly changed and he quickly lowered his head, then sprayed the liquid under the table.
It is worthy of being called salty milk tea, the tea lives up to its name.
So salty!
He had never eaten anything so salty!
Hong Xiao's voice, stifling laughter, echoed in his mind: "There's candy in the storage bracelet."
There is no need to gloat over other people's misfortune. You and I are one. Whatever suffering I suffer is equivalent to the suffering you suffer as well.
After Xiao finished complaining in his heart, he began to think about what Red Xiao had just said.
Is there candy in the storage bracelet?
I do not know how?
He silently searched the storage bracelet with his spiritual sense, but found nothing.
"Isn't this it?" Red Xiao's disdainful voice sounded again, and the next moment, a can of sugar used for cooking appeared in Xiao's palm.
I thought you meant candy.
Xiao silently put the candy jar away, raised his head, and met the concerned gazes of the others: "Sorry, I lost my composure a bit."
"Haha, I was saying that Xiao doesn't look like someone who can eat salty food." Ren Liang shouted towards the counter, "Waiter!"
Soon, the waiter came over with the menu.
After suffering for nothing, Xiao felt that he needed ten plates of almond tofu to soothe his injured taste buds. Unfortunately, the restaurant did not have this dish, so he could only order a breakfast that suited his taste and eat it.
"Where is Baili Ling?" Xiao asked while eating.
Zhao Gaoli took over the conversation. "The captain has gone to find a guide who can take us across the Black River Desert. By the way, before you leave, let me tell you about the rules here."
"it is good."
Xiao put down his chopsticks and motioned Zhao Gaoli to continue.
“Actually, there are quite a few rules here, but we are just passing through here and won’t be staying for a few days, so just remember these few.
The first and most important rule is that outsiders cannot enter the area inhabited by locals in the south."
Xiao nodded.
Zhao Gaoli continued, "Then there are 'borrow and return, fair trade,' 'damaged items must be compensated according to the price,' 'no molesting of women in the street, no bullying of the elderly and children,' and 'no harming anyone in the city.'"
Xiao waited for a long time, but Zhao Gaoli still didn't speak again. He asked in confusion, "That's all?"
"That's it." Zhao Gaoli nodded slightly.
That's it?
Xiao gave him a strange look. Did half of these so-called rules need to be specifically stipulated? Aren't those basic moral principles of life?
After a few seconds, Xiao realized that for this world, these basic moral ethics of being a human being really need to be specifically regulated.
"I see," he asked. "What happens if I violate these?"
Zhao Gaoli replied: "Violators will be expelled from the town and will never be allowed to enter again."
"Can the locals do this with their force?" Xiao was a little surprised.
Where there are treasures, there are often experts.
Zhao Gaoli spoke slowly, "Since these rules still exist today and haven't become meaningless, it means they are capable of enforcing punishment."
"Xiao, you don't want to try it, do you?" Ren Liang asked with a smile.
Mandrill shook his head.
He is a good citizen who abides by the law and does not have any inexplicable rebellious mentality. Why would he make such an illegal attempt?
He was just curious, so he asked one more question.
Just then, a calm female voice sounded.
"Xiao, I heard from the captain that you are here to rescue a good friend from the Yufeng Sect."
Xiao followed the voice, looked at Duan Shan, and tapped his chin lightly.
Duan Shan hid the emotion in her eyes and continued to ask, "You have such excellent talent, but your friend didn't recruit you into his sect?"
