    In order to avoid the passing cars and horses, the three of them stood on the street. After Bai Binfang and the tea shop clerk inquired about the entrance of Hujia Lane, they suddenly found themselves alone standing outside the shop door. Chen Wenying and Luo Yuanqiu did not know.  When I went to a restaurant, I was talking to the boss.

    There was a big pot at the door of the restaurant. The thick soup was boiling continuously, and a little white gas was wafting out. It smelled very tempting.

    Chen Wenying and Luo Yuanqiu had neither seen nor eaten it before. They looked at the pot curiously and guessed what was in the pot.

    The boss was kneading the dough, and when he saw the two of them standing there for a long time, he asked, "What do you two want to eat?"

    Chen Wenying didn¡¯t know what it was called. In order not to lose face, she coughed lightly and said, ¡°Let¡¯s have two portions.¡±

    After she finished speaking, she suddenly noticed someone behind her. When she turned around, she saw Bai Bin standing behind them with an expressionless face.

    Chen Wenying was displeased: "What are you doing? You didn't say anything even when you came."

    Bai Bin said: "Let me see how long I have to stand before you notice that I am following behind."

    Luo Yuanqiu held the copper plate and asked, "How about ordering another one? Can Bai Bin eat it?"

    Chen Wenying said coldly: "Don't buy it for him, he wants to pay for it himself."

    Luo Yuanqiu looked apologetic and counted the coins to pay the boss.  With sharp eyes, Bai Bin saw that it was exactly two cents of food money.

    Bai Bin: ""

    The boss rolled out the noodles quickly, then spread them flat and fried them in oil.  When the pancakes were fried until golden brown on both sides, he took out a large piece of meat from the pot, cut off two pieces with a knife, chopped them back on the table, carefully placed them on the pancakes, and then quickly rolled them up with  It was wrapped in brown leaves and handed to the two of them.

    "There are a lot of snacks on the street." Bai Bin said slowly: "I just wanted to ask you if you want to buy something else to try?"

    A quarter of an hour later, the three of them were walking in the alley. Bai Bin, with his hands full of food, said helplessly: "It's really indecent to eat on the street."

    Chen Wenying chewed something in her mouth and said vaguely: "No one can recognize you and me, so just relax, Mr. Bai."

    Luo Yuanqiu held a candied haws in his left hand and fried chestnuts in his right hand. He was enjoying the food and could still spare the time to look around.

    She said: "This alley is really long. There should be many people living there. If you have to search from house to house, it seems like it will take some time."

    Bai Bin pondered for a moment, and said after a moment: "If we go door to door to look for him, I'm afraid we might alert him. The alchemist is in the dark, and we are in the light. If he wants to run away, it will be easy."

    Luo Yuanqiu nodded and finished the last hawthorn ball. She took out a blue talisman from her sleeve and read a few words in a low voice. A stream of water fell from the talisman. She asked Chen Wenying: "Wash your hands?"

    Chen Wenying looked at the water in surprise, put her hands over to wash them, and asked, "Where does this water come from?"

    Luo Yuanqiu took back the talisman and replied: "Of course it came from the water tank at my house. If I don't fetch water, there is not enough water in the water tank, and I may not be able to summon it."

    Seeing the surprised expressions on their faces, she explained: "Although the talisman technique is mysterious, it can only transform existing things."

    Chen Wenying clicked her tongue and said: "Yes, yes, this talisman is quite easy to use. It can blow wind and fire to wash hands, and it is convenient to carry it with you."

    As we spoke, the alley had reached its end, and there was a new alley at the corner.  Luo Yuanqiu walked in and saw three more forks at the entrance of the alley, leading to different alleys.

    The three of them walked for most of the day, wandering around in the alleys and almost getting lost.  The alleys here are connected to each other, and the exits and entrances are exactly the same, like a maze.  No wonder the teahouse waiter couldn't explain it in words when talking about Hujiaxiang.

    After finally returning to the street, Bai Bin led the two of them to a teahouse, found a seat on the second floor, ordered tea, and took a breather.

    Compared with the teahouse in the morning, this teahouse is obviously two different places.  Luo Yuanqiu noticed that most of the people coming and going were people dressed as scribes. They looked noble and elegant. They sat down in the private room with their servants. While drinking tea and talking, they all said things that Luo Yuanqiu couldn't quite understand.  .

    Seeing a few people dressed as scholars going up to the third floor, an idea flashed in Luo Yuanqiu's mind. He motioned them to look over and whispered: "Isn't that medicine sold to scholars? Wouldn't it be faster if we asked them?  Some?"

    Chen Wenying uttered an ouch and seemed to suddenly realize: "Yeah, wouldn't it be enough to find out from them? Why did I forget about it? I was still wandering in the alley for a long time, and my legs were sore from walking."

    "But we two probably can't do it. Those scholars may not care." Luo Yuanqiu opened the lid of the tea and smelled the delicious fragrance. After taking a sip, he felt faint.nbsp;Luo Yuanqiu was still thinking about something and didn't hear what she was saying clearly.  After all the scholars upstairs had dispersed in the evening, Bai Bin came over and almost collapsed while paying the bill.

    "Ten plates of dim sum! Chen Wenying, are you a pig? Why didn't you eat so much that you were not exhausted?"

    Chen Wenying didn't bother to pay attention to him and just sat playing with her hair.  Bai Bin went to settle the bill with a dark face, took a deep breath and said, "There will be a night patrol tonight. Remember to go back and change into inconspicuous clothes and put on your waist tag."

    Luo Yuanqiu put away the elixirs on the table, wrapped them in cloth and put them in his sleeves, and asked: "Night patrol?"

    "Starting from the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, it is the practice of the Taishi Bureau to conduct inspections every three days." Bai Bin replied.

    Luo Yuanqiu thought for a while, took out two talismans and divided them between the two of them: "Put them on your body, so that even if we get separated, we can use the talismans to sense each other's direction."

    The two accepted the talisman as promised, and Chen Wenying asked: "Where can we meet in the evening?"

    Bai Bin said: "It's in Hujiaxiang. I've been here for the past few days, so I must be familiar with the road, and I'm not afraid of not being able to find it."

    After the three of them agreed on a place, they dispersed and went home, preparing to meet again in the evening

    Xu hour has not yet come, and there is still a quarter of an hour before the curfew.  Luo Yuanqiu waited for a while at the edge of Hujia Alley and saw Chen Wenying and Bai Bin coming on horseback. Both of them put on dark military uniforms, and their movements of turning over and dismounting were particularly neat.

    Luo Yuanqiu couldn't help but ask: "Can I still patrol at night on horseback?"

    "No." Chen Wenying led the horse and said, "Take it to the carriage door in front later. There is a lot of space there, so you can tie it up."

    Soon there was the sound of drums, and the curfew began.

    The light snow fell from the sky and fell on the roof tiles, making a rustling sound.

    With a white mist coming from all around, the three of them tied their horses outside the carriage house and walked south for half an hour. It was quiet everywhere, and they didn't even meet anyone on the way.

    Chen Wenying took a breath and said: "I can't live in peace during the day, and I have to patrol at night. It's really interesting that the Taishi Bureau only gave me three taels of silver."

    Bai Bin couldn't help but lectured: "Since you know that money is hard to make, don't order so many snacks, which are worth your three months' salary."

    When Luo Yuanqiu heard this, he thought of the dishes of dim sum that Chen Wenying ordered at the teahouse today, and asked in surprise: "Are those dim sum so expensive?"

    Chen Wenying felt a little guilty when she saw him, so she turned her face away and said, "AhemI think it's okay."

    Luo Yuanqiu sighed and said sincerely: "Then next time we go, let's just order a pot of tea."

    Chen Wenying nodded helplessly. Although Luo Yuanqiu didn't say anything, seeing that she was still wearing an old cotton robe, Chen Wenying felt regretful for no reason, so she had to promise again and again.

    Suddenly Luo Yuanqiu stopped, looked at the thick fog in front of him, and said softly: "Don't go, there is someone ahead."

    Chen Wenying also stopped and said, "Are you here to watch the night watch? Or are you here to watch the night like us?"

    "No, probably not."

    Luo Yuanqiu waved his hand, and the fog dispersed a little, revealing a low figure.

    She frowned and said thoughtfully: "Is it adead person?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
