Chapter 57 How Can Drinking Distract You
There are many small courtyards in the ancient town.
In order not to destroy the beauty of this place, most of the shops sell items that tend to be ancient in style.
Lingling, wearing a small cheongsam and holding an oil-paper umbrella, took Huayu to the store they had investigated in advance.
There are only two people in this shop, a boss and an employee, which perfectly realizes one-on-one exploitation.
The young clerk saw a handsome guy and a little girl coming in, and a signature smirk appeared on his face.
"Welcome, my two guests. What do you want to buy?"
The boss standing by saw the clerk's attitude and nodded with satisfaction.
"Hello, I'm a hunter who's here to investigate the matter of the moth girl. I heard that you witnessed this creature some time ago. Can you tell us more about it?" Hua Yu said as he winked at Lingling.
Lingling quickly took out her Hunter Master badge from her pocket and handed it over.
Seeing that the person in front of him was actually the Master Hunter, a hint of surprise flashed in the clerk's eyes.
But before he could say anything, the bald boss in front of the counter came over and said impatiently, "You guys again, hurry up and leave, there is no moth girl here, this guy is just making it up."
Customers are God. As long as they step into his store, he will serve them with a smile, regardless of whether they buy in the end or not.
But if they come to sell goods or do other things, forget it.
"Uncle, what do you mean by this?"
Seeing that Hua Yu failed to communicate, Lingling blinked, came closer, and looked at the bald boss with an innocent face.
Even a young guy like Hua Yu can't resist this little cute creature, let alone this old uncle.
The bald boss immediately changed his expression, and with a cheerful look on his face, he bent down and said to Lingling, "Little girl, the story about seeing the moth girl is all made up by this drunken boy. Many hunters like the one next to you have come here before. In such a small place, if there really is a moth girl, how could those people not find her?"
Hearing the boss's well-reasoned answer, Lingling turned her head and looked at the clerk again and asked, "Big brother, is what he said true?"
"I'm not really sure." The young clerk touched his head awkwardly and continued, "I was indeed drunk that day, and I vaguely seemed to have seen a woman with large moth wings."
"Can you tell me where you met her?"
"Nanzha."
"Thank you!"
-
It was not just one person in the ancient town who said he had seen the moth girl. Lingling believed that this was definitely not a coincidence.
If one person gets drunk, does that mean everyone will be drunk too?
Even if it wasn't a moth girl, this town must be hiding some secrets.
No matter what it was, Lingling was very interested in it.
As for why so many hunting magicians before them failed to find the moth girl, Lingling could only think that it was because their level was too low.
Lingling spent the entire afternoon collecting clues in the ancient town.
Once she gets into work mode, this little girl is truly tireless.
The small body seemed to feel no tiredness as it carried Huayu back and forth.
As a high-level magician, Hua Yu is naturally not tired.
His physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people, not to mention the little girl next to him.
For every one step I take, she takes one and a half steps.
"Let's go, next one."
"No need, I've collected most of it. When I go back and sort it out, I should be able to give you a rough idea." Lingling suddenly said.
"So fast?" Hua Yu looked at Lingling in surprise.
He accompanied the whole process and listened to every word, but he didn't understand anything.
Dongzha, Nanzha, Xizha and Beizha are four major areas divided by the Cross River. Traces of the moth woman have appeared in each place. What can be analyzed from this?
"If I'm not happy, I'll be just like an idiot like you." Lingling said with a smile.
"Uh." Hua Yu looked at Lingling helplessly.
Compared to this little genius in front of me, can I be called a fool? —
The ancient town is quiet, the night rain is fading, and the moonlight is hazy.
The drizzle added a bit of coolness to the night in this ancient town.
On the arch bridge, two people, one big and one small, were standing with umbrellas in their hands.
One automatic umbrella and one oil-paper umbrella.
"On a rainy day like this, the flying ability of moths will be affected to a certain extent. Are you sure she can show up?"
"She is a moth girl, not a moth." Lingling looked up and rolled her eyes at Huayu.
Hua Yu was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be the case.
"This moth girl doesn't appear very often, and she always appears at night when there are few people around. It's obvious that she really wants to stay where humans live, but she's afraid of being discovered. It's raining tonight, and there aren't many people in the ancient town. If I were her, I would choose this time to come out and get some fresh air." Lingling continued.
"In that case, you go back to the hotel first and leave the rest to me," Hua Yu suggested.
The light rain fell and hit the river under the arch bridge, creating faint ripples.
On the water, there were several small boats tied to the shore, swaying gently with the current, occasionally hitting the stone wall next to them.
"I also want to see what the moth girl looks like?"
"Shall I catch it for you?"
"No, I'm here." Lingling shook her head and said stubbornly.
"That's up to you."
After saying that, Hua Yu closed his eyes.
He stood on the arch bridge, and sound waves spread out around him with him as the center.
At this time, the shops in the ancient town had already closed, and only a few people seemed to be admiring this ancient Jiangnan town in the mist and rain.
Of course, there are also those men who come home late.
"Oh no." A man at the table suddenly slammed the table.
"what happened?"
"It's raining outside, and my wife is waiting for me to pick her up."
As soon as the man finished speaking, he slapped himself and said, "Damn it, how could I be distracted when drinking?"
"That's it, drink!"
The people around the man raised their glasses again, with no intention of ending the drinking party.
"Da~da~da~"
Just then, the sound of footsteps came into their ears.
A man looked up and saw a young woman holding an oil-paper umbrella passing by them.
Her steps were light, her skirt swayed, and below her slender waist were two white, smooth legs.
"Ahem, Lao Wang, look, there's a beautiful woman." At the table, the man sat upright, and at the same time did not forget to use his elbow to remind the people next to him.
In an instant, one after another, they raised their heads.
As if she heard some noise, the woman turned her head and smiled gently at them.
After this laugh, some of these people will not be able to sleep well tonight, or they will need to do some work before going to bed.
The woman walked forward and suddenly found two people standing on the road in front of her.
