Chapter 310

So, since she had met Qiao Mu, who had been to her hometown, why didn't she ask about her hometown in detail?

This was actually a bit strange.

"..... I don't want to listen." Qing Li not only didn't listen, but walked faster.

Until she was far away from the bamboo forest, she said to herself:

"Xishan Village is shrouded in thick fog all day long, and the sun is invisible. In fact, it is a formation of a fairy gate."

"With the formation of the fairy gate, how can the monsters from the outside world invade? So Xishan Village is of course safe."

"The safety of Xishan Village actually depends on me alone."

"As long as I am still the feather king of the fairy gate, or the running dog of the fairy gate, Xishan Village will be safe."

Qing Li felt a little depressed and walked away on her own.

The soul that stayed in Xishan Village suddenly disappeared.... It seemed that she had forgotten this matter intentionally or unintentionally.

It was like a migrant worker woke up and found a missed call on his mobile phone at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. It was a call from his family in his hometown.

The migrant worker called back, but his family said that there was nothing wrong, but they just made a wrong call by mistake.

Although he had a premonition of uneasiness in his heart, he was afraid to go back to his hometown and confirm the truth.

The so-called hometown is timid, that's all.

The closer to hometown, the more timid he is.

..

Shanzhenlou.

This is the largest restaurant in Taotie City. There are no ordinary people coming and going, all of them are rich and noble.

Yang Dabai is a waiter in the restaurant. He is busy every day, working from dawn to dusk, earning some hard-earned money day after day.

Although he is busy and tired, he is in a good mood during this period.

For some reason, in recent years, the boss of Shanzhenlou has been much more generous, and the wages have increased. Some servants and chefs who do a good job are even rewarded with a little gold.

Even Yang Dabai, a waiter, has recently received a gold ingot as a reward.

The boss is so generous with money, so Yang Dabai naturally works harder.

"The guests at the front hall are really weird. They actually brought a cat to eat." In the back kitchen of the restaurant, several chefs were discussing:

"The point is not to let the cat eat at the table, but his fat cat."

"His belly is almost on the table, and he is still eating like a bottomless pit. I'm afraid he is a reincarnated glutton?"

"Is it so mysterious?" Yang Dabai walked out of the back kitchen with the dishes, and did not forget to look at the table in the corner of the hall in front of him.

Sure enough, he saw that the guests at that table had ordered a whole table of dishes. What's even more strange is that the food is divided into two portions, one for people and one for cats.

People are easy to say.

The cat's body is indeed sturdy, and it is still eating voraciously. Its belly looks more and more round, almost touching the table. At first glance, it looks like Tom Cat who has eaten a weight.

"Have you eaten enough? If you have eaten enough, I will go to find the boss."

Qiao Mu gently patted the fat cat's back.

In the past few days, the fat cat Wuchang has been able to easily smell the scent of the gold stone and use it to find people who have come into contact with the monsters in the Golden Country.

And the owner of Shanzhenlou should be the first person to come into contact with the monsters in the Golden Country.

Qiaomu originally wanted to be more straightforward and go directly to the door.

Later, I heard that the food and wine in Shanzhenlou were the best in the local area, so I changed my mind and planned to eat some food first and then find fault with the owner after eating.

"Not enough, not enough, not enough... More, more, more, more..." The fat cat shook his tail, slapped his tail on Qiaomu's palm, and continued to eat.

Ordinary cats are not suitable for eating human food with heavy oil smoke, but Wuchang is a monster, so this principle does not apply.

"Is it almost done?" Qiaomu rubbed the fat cat's round belly twice, making the belly jump like water waves.

He coughed lightly and slapped the table with a slap.

"Your food is not good, it's just pig food for pigs!"

"How dare you call this the No. 1 restaurant in Taotie City? Where is your boss? Let him come to see me!"

Wu Chang turned back and glared at Qiao Mu angrily, staring at him while picking food in his mouth.

"Really... what pig food!"

Qiao Mu's eyes swept around, his sharp eyes were like a sword.

It was obvious that Qiao Mu was looking for trouble, but his eyes were too sharp, and no one dared to look at him.

In theory, it is not necessary for the boss of Shanzhenlou to come out in person for such guests to make trouble.

It's just that Qiao Mu's momentum was too strong and his eyes were too sharp, so no one dared to go up and ask in detail under his gaze.

After a long time, a middle-aged man with a plump figure came over with a smile on his face.

"Sir, the food in our restaurant is not to your taste?"

After saying that, the boss couldn't help but glance at the little piglet who was eating away the food at the side.

"Who are you? Let your boss come over!" Qiao Mu snorted coldly.

The boss of Shanzhenlou was the first person to come into contact with the Golden Country, and he would not be too polite.

"I am the boss." The boss still had a smile on his face:

"I have run this restaurant for more than 20 years, how can it be fake?"

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Mu and the fat cat who was still eating looked up at the same time and glanced at the boss. The fat cat shook his head slightly to express his denial.

Things became a little more complicated.

The fat cat Wuchang can now smell the scent of the golden stone, but this boss does not have that smell at all.

"How about you smell it carefully again?" Qiao Mu frowned, picked up the demon cat Wuchang and let her smell the smell in the air carefully.

Unexpectedly, after Wu Chang sniffed it, he suddenly turned to look at the helper Yang Dabai in the front hall and pointed with his furry cat paw.

"What do you mean? The helper carrying the dishes is not the real boss of this restaurant, right?" Qiao Mu asked doubtfully.

"What's the matter?" The fat boss chuckled. He seemed very friendly and showed no airs at all.

Qiao Mu stared at the fat boss, suddenly a little impatient, and was ready to act recklessly.

He took out a long sword from his storage bag and placed it on the fat boss's neck.

"That's just right." Qiao Mu's eyes were as sharp as a sword, and the sword in his hand shone with wisps of cold light:

"Someone hired me to kill the boss of Shanzhen Tower. Since you are the boss, it's easy for me to make money."

"Don't, don't, don't ---" The fat boss suddenly broke into a cold sweat. This man's eyes were too keen. He was simply a peerless murderer who regarded death as a common occurrence!

He had no doubt that this guest really dared to do something in public...

"My dear guest, please don't be impulsive. I am indeed no longer the boss." The fat boss trembled and said:

"Although I opened this restaurant, it failed three years ago due to poor management."

"I sold the entire restaurant to someone else. It's just that the boss didn't want to show up, so he kept letting me be the shopkeeper."

"What else is going on?!" Because Qiao Mu suddenly drew his sword, a circle of people surrounded the entire front hall, including diners and store clerks.

Yang Dabai was also among the crowd and suddenly realized at this time.

Even he, a helper who had worked in the restaurant for several years, had no idea about this kind of thing, let alone others.

"It turns out that the owner of the store has been changed a long time ago, I guess..." Yang Dabai muttered:

"The fat boss turns out to be a shrewd, calculating and petty person. How could he possibly give generous wages and even reward him with gold..."

"It turns out that the real boss has been replaced a long time ago. So this change in wages is obviously the idea of ​​that boss? He is really a kind person."

Yang Dabai thought about this and then heard Qiao Mu ask again:

"Then who is the real owner of your restaurant? What is his name? Where does he live?"

Just listen to the fat boss tremblingly reply:

"His name is Yang Xiaoqian. He is an old gambler from Fengsha Lane in the outer city and the youngest son of Lao Yang."

When the name was spoken, many people present moved their eyes and landed on Yang Dabai.

Yang Dabai couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Boss, what are you talking about?" Yang Dabai lost his voice and said:

"My younger brother has quit his job in the past few years and is at home doing nothing. He leaves early in the morning and comes home late every day, doing nothing. How can he be the boss of this Shanzhen Building?"

"If he is so rich, how can my family still live in a place like Fengsha Lane in the outer city?"

Unexpectedly, the fat boss sighed slightly when he heard this:

"Dabai, why do you think you are just a helper, but you can get a gold ingot as a reward?"

"That was all requested by your brother Yang Xiaoqian. Even I am the manager of this restaurant, all to hide it from you."

"This is a bit interesting." Qiao Mu put away the long sword and said:

"Lao Yang, the gambler, is a well-known old gambler."

"His eldest son Yang Dabai works diligently as a helper in Shanzhen Building."

"The youngest son, Yang Xiaoqian, secretly became the boss behind Shanzhen Tower. He even hid his wealth from his parents and brothers in order to keep his wealth secret. Does this mean that he should stay at home and live with his parents?"

The Luo family got the philosopher's stone, which made the entire Luo family rich and formed a wealthy local clan.

But Yang Xiaoqian, who was the first to get the philosopher's stone, kept his wealth secret and played the trick of walking at night in brocade clothes?

"Now, let's go to Lao Yang's house for a visit."

Qiao Mu slapped a few ingots of silver on the table, picked up Fat Cat and walked away, no one dared to stop him.

He originally thought that the owner of Shanzhen Building was the fat boss, so there was no need to be polite.

Now it seems that these are just migrant workers, so there is no need to embarrass them.

.

Outer city, Fengsha Lane.

Lao Yang's family is not wealthy. The couple make a living by selling vegetables, chickens, ducks and poultry, which is also a hard business.

In fact, Lao Yang didn't gamble when he was young, he was also hard-working, and he originally earned some wealth.

It's just that when people reach middle age, they see that they can't make much money from selling vegetables, and they don't have any other great skills. It seems that this is what they will do in this life.

So he resolutely joined the casino, preparing to gamble for a bright future for his family.

Then I almost lost all my underwear while gambling.

Lao Yang's family is just two low tile-roofed houses next to each other. Not to mention that the family has only four walls, it is indeed as poor as water.

A larger tile-roofed house is where Lao Yang, his wife and his eldest son Yang Dabai live.

The small tile-roofed house is where the youngest son Yang Xiaoqian lives.

There is a small vegetable garden outside the house. There are several native chickens running around happily in the vegetable garden. The ground is covered with sparse chicken droppings, and there is a faint smell of chicken droppings in the air.

"A person who has received the philosopher's stone is willing to live in a place like this?"

Qing Li raised his bamboo hat and looked at Yang Xiaoqian in front of him.

Yang Xiaoqian is a young man of about 20 years old. He has a short beard on his chin, his hair is a bit messy, and he looks a bit unkempt. He is just an ordinary mountain man, nothing special.

"So, I'm quite surprised that you can find me." Yang Xiaoqian said.

Although Qing Li often accompanies Qiao Mu these days, she has not forgotten that her main business in this gluttonous city is to find gold.

She has similar goals to Qiao Mu, but they are a little different.

Qing Li also has the identity of King Yu, so she is more urgent.

Qiao Mu was just looking for monsters in the Golden Land to find food for Wu Chang. He was not in a hurry, so he spent several days playing Qiao's investment business with the Luo family.

The two have similar purposes but are essentially different, so Qing Li went one step ahead and found Yang Xiaoqian.

Qing Li didn't answer, but stretched out his hand to lift the wooden bed in the room.
