Celestial Masters Alliance

Seeing that the little girl was shy, I quickly smiled and said, "Could it be the man who gave birth to a boy?"

"No! It's the blooming bloom, the south of the south." My sister-in-law looked at me, her eyes lit up again, and she lowered her head slightly.

I moved my body and said: "Flowers blooming in the south? What a name, it will make people remember it immediately. Thank you very much for the two hot water bottles yesterday. To express my gratitude, can I treat you to dinner?"

The little girl was a little surprised by my intuition and didn't know how to answer. Mumu glared at me, and I quickly explained: "We are not bad people, we are the police. I passed by here recently on vacation. I am not familiar with the place. I want to find a place that is clean and can have a good meal. Please help me, Miss Xiao Fan." I’d like to introduce you. Of course, I’d also like to know about any interesting places nearby.”

Mu Mu cooperated and took out his work permit and showed it. The little girl immediately relaxed her guard when she saw it. Her eyes wandered between me and Mu Mu and asked, "Are you two just the two of us out to play?"

Mumu whispered: "Actually, I'm not here to play. I have some things to do. Can I ask you a favor?"

The little girl suddenly became excited and shouted: "Of course! Police..."

Mumu quickly raised a finger to stop. The little girl covered her mouth, looked around, and whispered: "I'll go tell daddy, wait for me."

Mu Mu nodded slightly. I pouted at the wood and shrugged.

The little girl took us to a restaurant on the corner of the street and introduced us as we walked: "This is opened by my uncle's family." She covered her mouth with one hand in panic and waved it with the other: "I didn't mean to bring you here to be slaughtered! My uncle is the best chef here, you see how clean my aunt cleans the store, the food here is absolutely hygienic."

I put my shoulder on the wooden shoulder, and the center of gravity of my body was supported by him. I basically didn’t have to worry about walking. When I heard the little girl say this, I smiled and comforted me: "Don’t be too worried. If we don’t trust you, what the hell?" I’ll ask you to recommend a restaurant to us.” As I said that, I looked up at the restaurant’s signature “Shenglian Cuisine”. This name seems to be the most common in XX: “Looking at this name, you can tell that the boss is a simple person.”

"Oh?" The little girl tilted her head with an expression on her face that she was willing to hear more details.

I won’t be too pretentious: “Your uncle’s name must have the word “win” in it, and your aunt’s name must have the word “lotus” in it. If you dare to write your name on a sign, you will definitely not damage your own sign.”

The little girl showed an expression of approval, and I glared at the piece of wood. After all, he was the one who invited the little girl to inquire about information in the first place, and now he was holding a cane next to me. It was really a piece of wood.

"Why are you standing at the door? Why don't you come in?" A voice came from far to near from the quaint shop door. It sounded like a scolding but with a smile. After hearing its voice, no one was seen for a long time. The wood was ready to take me across. After entering the threshold, the man came out.

The owner of the voice was a slender girl about twenty years old, with a fair face and shrewd eyes. She glanced at us first, then turned her eyes to Fan Shengnan and asked: "Are they the same as you?" Got up?"

Fan Shengnan nodded and introduced in a panic: "They are guests at the guest house. They asked me to help recommend a unique restaurant, so I brought them here." After that, she turned to us and introduced: "She It’s my cousin, her name is Zhong Huafang.”

I pulled the piece of wood and greeted the girl straight to the point: "The main reason we came here is to get some news, and I'd like to trouble you, girl, to find a quiet place for us to sit down."

Zhong Huafang greeted with a smile: "Come in, please come in!" But his eyes fell on Fan Shengnan, who quickly saluted. Zhong Huafang understood and led us into the small private room in the corner.

After sitting down, Zhong Huafang put the order card on the dining table and took out a pen and paper, as if he was preparing to write down the names of the dishes. In fact, he was looking at me and Mu Mu: "What do you want to know about?"

I picked up the teapot on the table, poured tea for Fan Shengnan and Mu Mu, and waited for Mu Mu to answer this question.

"Have your family been locals for generations?" Mu Mu didn't hesitate and went straight to the point.

Just as Zhong Huafang was thinking about it, Fan Shengnan took the lead and said, "Her family is local like mine. My cousin has gone to college outside for the past two years and only comes back during the holidays."

"Look, you're talking so much, and the guests haven't ordered yet!" Zhong Huafang lightly kicked Fan Shengnan under the table, looked at us and continued to greet us with a smile: "You'd better order first, I'll let the kitchen do it." Come on, and then we’ll talk slowly!”

"This is your family's shop. You know best what's delicious. Please come and order for us, girl!" Mu Mu said with a gentle smile.

Zhong Huafang was generous and introduced the food in the store, and she also asked for our opinions. After we nodded, she wrote the name of the dish on the paper. After ordering, she said to Fan Shengnan: "My mother is paying the bills to the vegetable farmer in the backyard. You have to say hello to my parents when you come!"

Fan Shengnan looked at me and Mu Mu with some restraint and asked, "I'll be back as soon as I go."

I smiled and replied: "Go ahead! You should!"

Watching them leave, I smiled and said to Mu Mu, "That girl is interesting."

"Not necessarily!" Mu Mu gently held the tea cup and tapped the rim with his index finger.

Fan Shengnan and Zhong Huafang returned to the dining table in a blink of an eye. They must have exchanged our information. As soon as Zhong Huafang entered the private room, she sat down on the chair opposite the wooden door: "I heard from my cousin that if you have anything you want to know, just ask and I will tell you everything." In the blink of an eye, she was completely relieved. I lowered my guard just now.

Mu Mu smiled and nodded: "Has anyone among you disappeared recently?"

Zhong Huafang thought for a moment and replied, "I've never heard of it." Then he turned his attention to Fan Shengnan and said, "Your mother loves playing mahjong the most. Have you ever heard her say that?" Fan Shengnan also shook his head. .

Mumu seized the opportunity to prevent them from having a chance to reply: "Is there anything strange happening around here?"

The girls thought for a moment, and Zhong Huafang asked: "Does hail fall and earthquake count?"

"Of course! Can you tell me something?" Mu Mu glanced at me, relaxed his body, rested his chin on his elbow, and pretended not to be interested. I smiled in my heart and leaned slightly forward in the direction of the girls to show my attention.

Seeing that she had attracted my attention, Zhong Huafang was obviously a little proud and started talking about the hail: "I wasn't on vacation at that time, so I didn't see any hail, but it's really rare to see hail here."

"I saw it. I happened to be at my grandma's house at the time. It started to rain and ice the size of soybean grains fell, but it quickly disappeared after falling on the ground. After a while, the ice cubes got bigger and bigger. The largest one was It's as big as half an egg." Fan Shengnan interjected.

After hearing her mention that she was at grandma's house, Mu Mu glanced at me and then asked, "Where is your grandma's house?"

"Fenghuang Ling Village!"

When I heard this answer, I knew we had the right person. I tried my best to pretend to be calm and asked: "Is it hailing only there? Is it hailing here?"

"No! I called my dad and told him, but he still didn't believe it! After all, it's so close to my grandma's house!" Fan Shengnan's words made Zhong Huafang a little disappointed. Maybe she felt that she missed the beautiful scenery.

"Tell me, when was the earthquake?" Mu Mu felt that there was no need to delve into Hail.

"The night before yesterday!" Fan Shengnan counted on his fingers to determine the time.

"But it wasn't reported in the news." Mu Mu didn't ask about the time.

"Actually, there was only a very weak vibration, and it only shook a few times! The most important thing is that there was no loss, so people here felt that one more thing was better than one less thing, so they didn't report it." Zhong Huafang said.

"Did you lose nothing?" I suppressed the anxiety in my heart and asked as calmly as possible.

"If I want to talk about losses, it's that the tower behind Fenghuang Ling Village collapsed, maybe because it was in disrepair!"

"Is only that tower down? Is anyone injured?" The wood weakens the intensity of the question, but the professional one is different.

"I haven't heard of it." Zhong Huafang shook his head, "No one will go to that tower at all!"

"Oh?" Mu Mu and I expressed doubts in a tacit understanding at the same time, guiding Zhong Huafang to talk about the tower.

"Yes, that tower has been sealed since the fourth day of the Lunar New Year! Because it was built by a group of Taoist monks." Fan Shengnan whispered thoughtfully.

Was it established by the Taoist monk? I was a little shocked and exchanged glances with Mu Mu.
