I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

As night falls, Linhai Town falls into silence.

The moon hung high in the sky, casting a cool light that illuminated the bluestone path and ancient buildings.

The lanterns swayed, emitting a faint light, adding a touch of warmth to the town.

"Xiaochuan, I'm pretty familiar with Linhai Town. Here are fifteen copper coins. You don't have to come tomorrow."

"No, Sister Aning, we agreed to pay you thirty copper coins by noon tomorrow, and it's only been half a day.

Did I do something wrong to upset you?"

Yu Xiaochuan did not accept the money, and there was a bit of anxiety on his face. An employer like Song Anning was rare. There was little work to do, and he also gave them food. He also wanted to stay with them for a few more days.

Song Anning waved her hands quickly and explained:

"You did a great job, but today was my first time going to the beach, so I was really tired. I thought I'd sleep in, buy some fish and shrimp, and some little toys my sister liked, and then I went back.

I wanted to go to the sea and get some good things myself, but I was too stupid to stay any longer."

Song An Ning said this with great regret and put the copper coin in his hand into Yu Xiaochuan's hand.

"Sister Aning, will you come to Linhai Town again in the future? Xiaoyu is reluctant to see you go..."

Yu Xiaoyu mumbled in a somewhat coquettish manner, with a hint of sadness on her face.

"Next time I come to Linhai Town, I'll play with you guys again.

It’s getting late, you should go back early.”

The brother and sister said a lot of nice things. After thanking Song An Ning, Yu Xiaochuan took his sister away.

When leaving, Yu Xiaoyu kept looking back at Song An Ning, as if saying: Please keep me here.

"Master, go far away."

"you sure?"

"Not sure."

"..."

Song Anning returned to her room as if nothing had happened, closed the doors and windows, and sat at the table, feeling a little scared.

I almost fell into their trap!

"Xiangxiang, can I store myself in that living creature compartment?"

"Well...theoretically, it's possible. Master, please give it a try."

After communicating with Xiangxiang, she pretended to yawn, walked to the bed, lowered the bed curtain, and covered herself tightly with the quilt.

Then he moved his mind slightly, and he really entered the living creature grid.

The grid is like a small space with an area of about ten square meters.

The only drawback is that the living creature grid can only hold one thing, not even the folding bed in the backpack, so if you want to sleep, you can only lie on the floor.

"Be content, Master, this is the safest place.

So, when did you realize there was something wrong with those two people?

Xiangxiang was a little puzzled. These two people didn't poison anyone, nor did they have any martial arts skills, and there was nothing abnormal in their words and actions.

"At first I just thought they were a little strange. They only told half of the story or acted strangely, which made me ask questions and explore.

It felt like something was wrong with them because of that cave.”

During a casual chat, Song Anning once asked them where they would stay at night.

At that time, Yu Xiaoyu said pitifully that they lived in a dilapidated temple and sometimes had to squeeze in with beggars.

You can live in a cave, but you choose to live in a dilapidated temple and risk being robbed. Isn't this crazy?

"A cave? There are no wild animals or people in it. It won't be dangerous."

Xiangxiang said with certainty that it scanned several times and confirmed that there was no danger before calling its owner.

"What about the mechanism? What about the secret room?"

"..."

Xiangxiang suddenly felt a little frustrated. The system level was low now and it could only detect plants and animals. As for what the master said, it was powerless.

"In the teahouse? Did the owner find anything?"

"of course……"

If she hadn't been in the teahouse, she really wouldn't have discovered so many loopholes.

First, the Yu Xiaochuan siblings were dressed like that and still smelled a bit. From the shopkeeper to the waiter to the tea drinker, no one was disgusted and kicked them out.

Second, the first cup of tea for everyone was poured by the waiter, and the tea was 70% full.

When Yu Xiaochuan was pouring tea at the back, he wanted to pretend that he had never drunk tea before, so he filled the cup.

I said earlier that I paid attention to every word everyone said, which is why I know Linhai Town so well. Now I clearly saw the waiter pouring tea like that, but I didn't learn from him. I acted too much and exposed myself instead.

Third, with so many people chatting in the teahouse, how could it be such a coincidence that the topics discussed by the two tables in front and behind were what Song An Ning was interested in?

Finally, after hearing other people's conversation, Yu Xiaochuan behaved strangely again, wanting Song Anning to ask him actively.

Others would ignore these details because they are young, but Song Anning would not. She knows very well what her younger brothers and sisters are like.

Yu Xiaoyu deliberately acted innocent, which was very different from Song Anyue.

What was their purpose? Who were they? Song Anning had no idea, but she felt that everything in this town was dangerous and she needed to leave as soon as possible.

At the same time, in a dilapidated courtyard in Linhai Town, Yu Xiaochuan and his sister knelt respectfully on the ground. Beside them were other guides who held signs at the dock during the day.

In front of them stood a tall man, his entire body covered in a black cloak, and his true appearance could not be seen.

"What's unusual today?"

The man put his hands behind his back, with an attitude of superiority, and his voice was very hoarse.

Yu Xiaochuan crawled forward two steps in a very servile manner and replied respectfully: "To answer your question, sir, I met someone from Ping'an Town today."

"what!"

The man in black just raised his hand and blew Yu Xiaochuan several meters away. Bright red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Can't you finish it in one breath? You're looking for death."

He ignored the pain, struggled to get up from the ground, and continued:

"The woman's name is Aning. She looks about thirteen or fourteen and is a bit plump. She spent the entire afternoon fishing at the beach. In the evening, she came to our teahouse, drank two pots of tea, and then returned to the inn."

The man in black was silent for a while after hearing this, then asked coldly, "Is he from a wealthy family?"

"She doesn't look like one, she's wearing a cotton dress and her hands are calloused, but she can still come up with a few taels of silver."

"She's just a playful girl. Don't take her like that seriously in the future. Pay more attention to those who come looking for you and like to pry into your affairs."

"Yes!"

A gust of wind blew, and the man in black disappeared from the spot. Even though they knew he was gone, everyone still knelt there, not daring to move.

There was a look of unwillingness on Yu Xiaochuan's face. He always felt that there was something wrong with that woman, but he couldn't find any evidence.

On the other side, Song An Ning tossed and turned in his cubicle, unable to sleep. Xiangxiang kept an eye on the movements in the room. The two of them just stared at each other and waited until dawn.

"Master, you can get some sleep. Don't worry, Xiangxiang will be watching over you."

"Okay, I'm sleepy as a dog. Good night."

Song An Ning yawned loudly. She felt really uncomfortable in the cubicle, so she came out and lay down on the bed to sleep.

Just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard Xiangxiang shout, "Master! The brother and sister are just outside the door!"
