Xia Chu came out of General Zhao's tent with a sad look on his face, and went to pick up Raven, who was also looking sad, from Yan Jianghong's tent. Both of them breathed a sigh of relief when they returned to the tent.
Xia Chu lay on the bed and wailed: "Raven, I'm hungry."
"I'm hungry too." The raven glanced at him.
"Didn't I cook for you?"
"Didn't you go to General Zhao's tent to have dinner?"
…
"How about we go to the city for a walk."
Xia Chu suddenly got excited. He had been in the military camp for so long, but he still hadn't visited Hanyang City.
As soon as I thought about it, I immediately got out of bed. He took Raven with him, went to ask Coach Gu for a leave of absence, and then left the camp and entered the city.
After entering Hanyang City, Xia Chu took Raven to look east and west.
We picked a restaurant that looked good and went to have dinner.
The waiter looked at the two men in rough clothes and led them to sit down at the small table in the inner hall.
Xia Chu waved his hand and took out a piece of silver.
"I want to take a private room on the second floor."
The waiter's eyes lit up when he saw Yin Zi, and he immediately led them with a flattering smile to the private room by the window on the second floor.
"What do you two want to eat?" The waiter asked with a humble bow.
"Bring up all the specialty dishes." Xia Chu generously threw out a silver coin.
"Okay, I'll wait a minute." The waiter stumbled away.
"You don't agree with a poor doctor." Raven said with a frown.
"ah?"
"Since you are pretending to be a poor doctor, how can you be so generous?" Although Raven himself has never disguised himself, of course, he does not need to disguise. He always kills with one knife.
However, the people who came to kill him were all disguised in various forms.
Although those people were all dead, when he suddenly saw someone dressed up like Xia Chu, he still blamed him for no reason.
"Hey, I can be considered a doctor." Xia Chu said unconvinced.
"And your face, the disguise is too clumsy." Raven was a little confused. Is it true that no one in the military camp noticed it
"How many people in the world are there with such vicious eyes and strong martial arts skills like you?" Xia Chu curled his lips.
"That's no more." Raven thought for a moment and replied seriously.
"Ah, there's one I know of." Xia Chu thought of Bai Ruofei.
God, if only I could see Bai Ruofei fight with Raven.
That scene! It's so exciting.
Because Xia Chu didn't know who would win...
He had seen the raven's knife.
However, after thirteen years, he still didn't know how powerful Bai Ruofei was.
He knows everything, not only knows it, he is also proficient in everything.
He is a master of both medicine and poison, plays music, chess, calligraphy and painting, makes wine and cooks tea, and has eighteen kinds of martial arts... He is simply not a human being! Yes, not human at all! !
After all these years, he is still so handsome! monster!
"Who?" Raven was a little in disbelief when she heard Xia Chu say there was another one.
Looking at Xia Chu's ordinary face again, admiration was visible to the naked eye.
Raven is really interested.
"In the future, if possible, I would also like to see which of you can beat the other." Xia Chu put his chin in his hands, looking expectant.
"Okay." Raven is also looking forward to it. He has never had an opponent in these years.
Everyone who fought against him died.
Dishes were spread all over the table one after another. Xia Chu did not ask for wine and asked the waiter to make a pot of tea.
You are not allowed to drink alcohol in the military, even though you want to drink. However, let’s abide by the military rules.
After having tea and rice, Xia Chu held his chin with his left hand and tapped the table with his right hand to admire the scenery outside the window.
Slowly, he always felt that something was wrong. But, I can't tell.
"Raven, look out the window, is there anything wrong?"
The raven looked out for a while after hearing this, and said after a moment: "There are no old people or children."
"Yes!" Xia Chu slapped the table and stood.
He said something was wrong, but he was not as sharp as the raven.
For so long, there hasn't been a child in front of the candy vendors. There is not a single old man on this street.
Xia Chu called the waiter and asked, "Where are the old people and children in this city?"
"Isn't there any on the street?" The waiter looked out the window, and after a while he shouted: "It's strange, there really aren't any."
"You don't know?" Xia Chu asked doubtfully.
"Sir, I didn't care if you didn't say it. You still came here two days ago. The candy seller downstairs does a good business, and many children like to eat it. It seems that no elderly people have come to buy with their children in the past two days."
Xia Chu asked the waiter to pay the bill. After paying the bill, he took Raven downstairs to the candy stall.
"Brother, isn't your business good?" Xia Chu started chatting with the stall owner.
"It's always been fine. I don't know what's going on these past two days." The stall owner looked sad.
"Has anything happened in the city recently?" Xia Chu asked.
"It's nothing. It's just that I have no business these two days."
Xia Chu took two candy figures and handed them some silver to the vendor. He was so happy that he shouted with a smile on his face: "Thank you for the reward."
Xia Chu handed a candy man to Raven, and the two walked to the other end of the market.
After going back and forth, I realized that it was really weird.
There are no old people or children in the whole street or in the city.
Xia Chu randomly picked a ready-made clothing store and went in, grabbing a set of clothes for Raven to try on.
The raven is held in his hand, unable to move forward.
Xia Chu asked: "What's wrong?"
"Color." Raven frowned.
Only then did Xia Chu realize that he had picked up an emerald green robe, which did not match him very well. I quickly found another gray one and asked him to change it.
"The shopkeeper must have children, right?" When Xia Chu saw Raven entering, he pretended to be bored and chatted.
"Yes, I have two children." The shopkeeper spoke with him.
"What a blessing. How old are you?"
"The son is eight years old and the daughter is six years old." When mentioning the children, the shopkeeper still had a smile on his face.
"Why don't you take it to the shop to play with."
"The child is too noisy. I bring him to the shop for fear of disturbing the customers."
"Are you all at home?"
"Well, they're all at home."
"Is everything okay?"
"Everything's fine!" The shopkeeper's face didn't look good, and he cursed in his mind, "Why is this person talking?"
When Xia Chu saw the shopkeeper's expression on his face, he felt that his question was not very good, so he could only smile apologetically. Fortunately, the raven came out in time. Xia Chu quickly took out a piece of silver, and the shopkeeper's face looked good again.
"Shopkeeper, don't be angry, I'm just confused for a moment. After shopping all afternoon, I can't see any old people or children on the street." Xia Chu simply made it clear.
"Hiss" the shopkeeper took a breath, thought for a moment and said: "When you say so, I seem to have noticed it. It is true that no old people or children have entered the shop in the past two days."
"Your family, Gao Tang, and your children haven't been out in the past two days?"
"It seems not." The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said.
Xia Chu and Raven looked at each other and both were sure that there must be something weird about this matter.
"Shopkeeper, I'm a doctor. If it's inconvenient for you, let me go to your house and have a look. If everything is okay, it would be best. There are no old people and children coming in and out of the city these two days. Don't you think it's strange?"
The shopkeeper was told by Xia Chu that something was wrong the more he thought about it, and he became polite to Xia Chu. He lifted up his robe and came out with a salute and said, "Then I'll bother you, doctor, to come to my house and take a look."
Xia Chu nodded to the raven and followed immediately.
