New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

It takes only half a month to reach Suzhou from the capital by horse, but almost a month by carriage.

However, Xiaoyanzi and her friends were not in a hurry to travel. They just wanted to see the scenery and experience the different cultural customs along the way.

After all, where there are people, there is the world.

They are now in the world of martial arts, and no one knows what will happen.

Xiao Zhihang walked with the children for a while. Seeing that they got along well with others and behaved well, he felt relieved. After the fifth day, he chose to part with them.

They have their own things to do. They have to find ways to find those Japanese pirates who are hiding their identities, capture them, and send them to where they should go.

It was a sunny day on the day of separation. The scorching sun was burning the earth. The weather was too hot and stuffy, which made people feel a little bad.

In a small town near the capital, in front of the inn, Xiao Zhihang and his wife said goodbye to Xiao Yanzi and the others, and then went in different directions.

There are always separations in life. Everyone can only accompany each other for a part of the journey. What we have to do is to cherish the things and scenery we experience along the way.

Watching their parents' carriage go away, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei also got on their own carriage and continued heading towards Suzhou.

Qianyue drove the carriage. After spending some time with them, she found that the two young ladies were really easy to get along with. They were very kind to people, which made her like the two young ladies very much and become more loyal to them.

Yongqi and his companions rode their horses alongside the carriage, driving slowly and leisurely, looking around from time to time.

This is a small town full of life. Although it is small in size, it shows unique charm and vitality. The streets in the town are not wide, but they are crowded with various stalls. The stall owners are busy displaying goods and enthusiastically soliciting customers. These stalls are filled with a wide variety of items, from fresh fruits and vegetables to exquisite handicrafts.

There are some small shops on both sides of the street, and the shop owners stand at the door to solicit business with smiles on their faces. People here seem to be familiar with each other, they greet each other, chat and share the bits and pieces of life.

On the streets, many people are strolling leisurely, enjoying this wonderful time. Some are chatting with friends, while others are enjoying the scenery on the street, feeling the tranquility and beauty. Occasionally, you can see a few children playing on the street, and their laughter echoes throughout the town.

Such scenes make people feel the prosperity and harmony of this small town.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei sat in the carriage, drew aside the curtains and looked at the warm scene outside, their eyes full of joy.

"It seems that this town is very warm, which proves that the people in this town live a rich and prosperous life. I think it must have something to do with the local officials."

Ziwei watched and couldn't help but sigh.

Xiaoyanzi nodded, "I think so too. After all, if the local officials oppressed the people, I think these people would definitely not be like they are now."

Yongqi and Benjamin were driving one after the other. When they heard the conversation inside, they nodded in approval.

Erkang and Ertai felt something was wrong. They felt that these people were staring at their carriage. Was it their illusion?

"Be careful, something doesn't feel right."

Erkang whispered to his younger brother, they always felt something was not right.

Ertai nodded seriously and responded softly, "Okay, I understand."

After thinking about it, he chose to knock three times on the carriage door frame, which was their secret signal.

Knocking on the door frame three times means there may be something unusual. Remember to be vigilant and don't make any noise to reveal yourself.

Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi in the carriage just felt that it was warm and cheerful outside and were praising the local officials, but the next moment they heard a sound coming from the door frame.

The two looked at each other, and their expressions suddenly became serious. After staring at each other, they quietly lifted the curtain and looked at the scene outside.

After careful observation, I found that the people in this small town seemed warm and cozy. They sometimes talked and exchanged ideas, and sometimes sold things. However, everyone looked at them with vague eyes. This feeling made people feel a little uncomfortable, as if they were secretly watched by a pair of eyes.

The eyes of these people revealed an indescribable complex emotion, curiosity, vigilance, and even a hint of hostility. They seemed to be wary of strangers, but they didn't dare to show it too obviously.

Especially the vendors, who greeted customers enthusiastically while secretly observing them from the corner of their eyes. This hidden gaze made people feel uneasy, as if they had become a commodity being scrutinized. Other passers-by also cast strange glances at them from time to time, making people feel uncomfortable.

If ordinary people see handsome men and beautiful women, they will subconsciously stare at them or look away after a while. This is a normal phenomenon, but these people are secretly peeking at them. Their eyes have a sense of sizing up the goods, which gives them a bad premonition. This feeling is getting stronger and stronger, making people wonder if this town is hiding some secrets. Maybe this place is not as peaceful and friendly as it seems on the surface, but a place full of mystery and danger.

"Let's leave quickly. I have a bad feeling."

Xiaoyanzi thought about it and then spoke softly to the people outside the door.

The four people outside the door were all skilled in martial arts. When they heard her words, they responded softly, "Okay."

Just when they were about to speed up and leave this seemingly warm but actually weird town, something unexpected happened!
