Chapter three hundred and eighty eight: form
Guo Feng lay on the wooden bed in the mixed room with a full stomach of doubt, unable to figure it out. It was not until the third o'clock in the morning that he fell asleep in a daze. I don't know how long it took, but a sound suddenly came from the yard. Guo Feng suddenly woke up, jumped up, reached out to hold the knife under the pillow, and looked out.
A cook-like man stood on the table in the yard, shaking the wheels hard, whipped the water out of the deep well, then carried the bucket to the stove on the other end, poured some rice into the basin, washed it hard, and rubbed it hard. It turned out that it was the cook who was preparing the breakfast of the guest inn. Guo Feng smiled and inserted the knife back into the scabbard, and put it back under the pillow.
After such trouble, Guo Feng could no longer fall asleep. He simply opened the door, walked to the edge of the well platform, picked up a bucket of water, scooped a handful of water with both hands, poured it on his face, and the cold cold water soaked on his face, making a chill in a stimulating manner, and suddenly felt much more energetic.
The cook next to the stove looked up at Guo Feng who entered the table, smiled slightly, lowered his head, picked up the rice he had already taken, poured it into the boiling water. At this moment, Guo Feng also turned his face to look at the other end. When the two of them looked at him, the cook smiled and lowered his head, but Guo Feng seemed to be struck by lightning. The face and outline were actually similar to the Rou Niang that Yun Zhao wanted him to find. Before leaving, the portrait drawn by the painter based on Yun Zhao's description, the people who were in action this time were firmly remembered in their minds.
Guo Feng's hands trembled slightly, he suddenly lowered his head, pressed his hands on the bucket, forcing himself to calm down. Is there such a coincidence? The person he was looking for was just under his nose, pouring cold water on his face with both hands. Maybe it was just a similar thing. The bigger the bigger the, the more people with similar faces there were.
Li Xiao and Rou Niang are in Luzhou. Here, there is another person with such a similar appearance as Rou Niang. How could such a coincidence?
He calmed down his emotions and walked towards the chef.
"Hello!" He smiled and greeted the cook, but he used the local dialect of Luzhou. "Is this preparing breakfast?"
The cook raised his head and looked at him, "The guest gets up so early? It will take a while for breakfast to be ready. You can take a walk first and come back!"
Guo Feng stopped and looked at the other party. The cook actually understood his Luzhou dialect. How could it be? If this was a woman who was good at the south, how could she understand the dialect in the north? Guo Feng shouted in his heart.
It seemed that she had reacted. The cook raised her head, and a strange color flashed through her eyes, "Did the guest come from the north?" she asked.
"Yes, I came from the north and was entrusted to find someone." Guo Feng smiled and said, "Sister can understand our northern dialect. Could you be a northerner?"
The cook shook his head, "We have countless guests from our inn all day. After staying here for a long time, I can understand anything. I can barely understand the meaning of the guests."
This is reasonable. Guo Feng pondered for a moment and nodded, "Sister, let's do it first! I'll bother."
Looking at Guo Feng's figure turning and leaving, a hint of panic appeared in the cook's eyes. He stirred absent-mindedly in the big pot for a few times, turned around and walked back to the kitchen.
Looking at the cook through the window frame, Guo Feng said to Wang Lihua behind him: "Take a few people and follow the cook quietly to see where she is, and who else is in the family?"
Wang Lihua said in surprise: "Who is she?"
"She looks like the goal of our action this time!" Guo Feng said in a deep voice.
The room suddenly felt like a silence. After a while, Wang Lihua trembled: "We are so lucky?"
"I'm indeed lucky, but I need to confirm it again." Guo Feng said.
"If it were her, why didn't we directly indicate our identity?" Wang Lihua asked.
"First, why should she believe us?"
"Second, don't forget that there is another Li Xiao!"
"Now Luzhou is surrounded by wolves. If you are not careful, it will be a disaster. Be careful. If this person is just like our goal, not the person we are looking for, and we have shown our identity, it will be a disaster." Guo Feng pondered, "I will confirm the goal first and then talk about it."
The cook was naturally Nian Yun. He had just heard the local accent and a little lost in his mind. Her heart pounded. Through the kitchen door, she saw the group of people walking out of the house noisy and yelling. The person who had talked to her before was also among them, but it looked nothing different. She felt a little calmer. Perhaps, this was a coincidence. She stroked her chest gently and comforted herself.
After staying until dinner, the group returned to the mixed house in the yard together and found no abnormalities. Rou Niang finally felt relieved. This was indeed a coincidence. She let out a long breath, carried the lunch box, walked out of the inn, and hurried towards home.
"General, we have already touched it!" In the mixed room, everyone sat cross-legged on the ground, and Wang Lihua whispered.
"How about it?"
"The cook's people call her Li Qinshi. She lives in a slum in this place. She has a seriously ill husband at home and has never left the house. My two brothers and I went to step on it."
"Have you seen his husband?"
"No, that man hasn't left the shack all day, and he hasn't even opened the door!"
Guo Feng gently tapped the table, "It is indeed suspicious that a man is alone, a man never shows up. Are they locals or outsiders?"
"External people!"
Guo Feng's eyes lit up, "When did you arrive in Luzhou?"
"Time coincides!"
“Is the news reliable?”
"Reliable, we found out from his neighbor, a guy who sold Dali Pills. The man had a big mouth. We bought dozens of Dali Pills and asked him what he said!" Wang Lihua chuckled.
"No flaws are revealed?"
"Don't worry, General, you don't have to spend any energy on dealing with such a scammer."
"It seems that it's not wrong. Passing my order, all the brothers in Luzhou City are ready to start the No. 1 plan. Once the identity is confirmed, we can take Rou Niang away."
"General, where is that Li Xiao?"
"I care about him to die!" Guo Feng sneered. Everyone chuckled. Indeed, they care about whether Li Xiao is dead or alive! Li Xiao is now Gou Jing's first target. Without this guy's drag, they want to take Rou Niang away. That would be an easy thing.
When smoke began to rise in the slums, Nian Yun returned to the cramped shack. When she remembered what happened today, she was always a little worried. Although she was in charge of Li Xiao's underground subordinates, she basically had no such experience in the martial arts world. Fortunately, she was just a group of irrelevant people. Looking at Li Xiao who was eating voraciously, Nian Yun decided to contact her subordinates as soon as possible.
The panel door was knocked, and the sound of Xiong Kuohai sounded outside, "Open the door, open the door!"
Nianyun opened the board door and saw the joyful Xiongkuohai. He held a big sea bowl in one hand, which was filled with fragrance, but it was a large bowl of braised pork.
"Brother Xiong, are you?" Rou Niang asked strangely. "Have you made a fortune?"
Xiong Kuohai laughed, "Today I met an expert who knew the goods. I sold a tael of silver Daliwan. I said I would treat you to meat."
Rou Niang smiled with her lips, and Li Xiao inside couldn't help but chuckled. She didn't know that it was the sucker who had been deceived by him. However, this person really believed in his friends. This big bowl of braised pork was nothing to Li Xiao and others, but it was a great luxury for Xiong Kuohai.
"Thank you, Brother Xiong!" Nian Yun took the braised pork.
Xiong Kuohai turned around happily and left, took a few steps, and turned around, "By the way, do you still have relatives in the city? Someone asked about you today?"
Nian Yun's smile suddenly disappeared, and Li Xiao's nerves in the room suddenly tense up. "Brother Xiong, who is asking us? In this city, we have no relatives!"
Xiong Kuohai scratched his head, "It would be strange if he is not a relative. They described your appearance as similar, and they also said that you are their separated relatives!"
"Thank you, Brother Xiong!" Nian Yun's face had completely changed. He slammed the door and Li Xiao had already stood up in the shack, "We must leave immediately!" Li Xiao said.
"It's not possible now." Nian Yun said: "It's not dark yet, and the city gates have been closed long ago. We can't leave the city at all. Gou Jingzhe implemented a curfew in the city. When we go out, we will fall into the trap."
"What should I do? Now someone has noticed us!" Li Xiao said. Nian Yun was also out of attention for a moment. The two of them looked at each other, and their faces showed despair. If these people were Gou Jing's people, they would be doomed.
"If things really come to an uncontrollable step, you are very skilled in martial arts and may be able to break out. Fourth Master, promise me that at that time, don't worry about me and must leave. Without my burden, you may be able to break out." The night gradually became darker, and finally, Nian Yun spoke.
Li Xiao looked at her and shook his head, "I want to go all the way, die all the way. I will never leave you alone."
"Fourth Master!" Nian Yun said anxiously: "Don't be willful. If I am caught, I may not die. Once you are caught, you will definitely die."
Li Xiao shook his head firmly, "Nianyun, from the day you arrived at Mopan Mountain, I will be sure that I will never leave you again in my life."
"You..." Nian Yun looked at Li Xiao's eyes, and for a moment he didn't know what to say, so he couldn't help but close his eyes, and two lines of clear tears came out.
"Do you die!" Li Xiao stood up and hugged Nian Yun in his arms, "It's no big deal."
The two hugged each other silently in the darkness.
"Who?" Xiong Kuohai's voice suddenly came from the next door, and then a low muffled groan, as if some heavy object fell to the ground. The two of them suddenly separated, "It's coming so fast!" Li Xiao choked and pulled out the steel knife, held Nian Yun with one hand, and turned around and looked at the direction of the board door.
