After dressing as a superb old woman, I am bound to the power system

When Duan Yutao woke up, it was already getting late.

The child was really sick. He slept all afternoon. I don't know whether it was because he slept for a long time or because he was sick. He was not very energetic and felt confused when he woke up.

Fortunately, the temperature of his forehead returned to normal, and the redness on his cheeks also faded. Under Shang's careful care, Duan Yutao's fever was almost gone.

Qiao Lan saw that it was getting late and she had to rest even if she had to travel for a while, so she said, "Why don't you find someone to rest at, and we'll continue our journey tomorrow."

Everyone in the Duan family nodded, they had no objections.

Since He Feng agreed to protect the Duan family, he naturally wanted to follow him.

Everyone spent several dozen coins to rent two houses in a nearby village for a night's rest, and went on their way as usual the next morning.

Due to Duan Yutao's sudden fever, Qiao Lan lost interest in telling stories at night. She didn't know what the Duan family was thinking about at night, and the task progress bar went back 10%.

It's been a day, and the task progress bar has only reached 20%. What should I do if it's still 80% short of it?

urgent!

Qiao Lan was anxious, but her face was calm and calm. As she walked as fast as usual, she was thinking about what kind of story she wanted to tell.

A car of people walked forward in silence. There were fewer and fewer farmhouses on both sides of the road, replaced by dense mountain forests and undulating hills.

Chen Shu walked and looked around. When he saw the small wooden house with high flags not far away, he immediately came to the carriage and said, "Master, the Kangquan Restaurant has arrived."

"Well, keep walking." He Feng said calmly in the car.

"Yes, Master."

He Feng stepped aside, his eyes full of vigilance.

After their people arrived in Luanqu City, they went around to inquire about information. I can't say that they had obtained all the information, but they had found out most of the inside and outside of the city. What kind of local snakes were there? What kind of shady business activities were there? He Feng's subordinates

of people went to find out more about it.

Kangquan Restaurant is one of them, and it is said that they are robbing passers-by.

The location of Kangquan Restaurant is special. There is no inn behind Luanqu City. Pedestrians who are on the road have to walk for a whole day to get there.

This restaurant is built on a hill, and the terrain is not very good, making it difficult to farm and build houses, so there are few farmers around.

However, a spacious restaurant was built in this place with a big signboard, which shows that the person who built this restaurant put a lot of thought into it.

In a place with no village or shop, Kangquan Restaurant is the only choice.

Luanqu City is located on an important traffic road. There is such a restaurant behind the city. The local officials should take care of it.

Since there was no rectification and the behavior was so blatant, Chen Shu felt that someone within the government must be involved behind this.

Traveling businessmen all have their own chambers of commerce, and if they encounter any illegal shops, they will not suffer any losses if they contact each other. But this shop has been open for so many years, and it is still stable.

Chen Shu thought that it should not only be a trap for money, but also other things, such as seeking money and killing people.

Lost businessmen are not a big deal these days. There are cases like this every year. Even if they are reported to the government, it is useless. No one knows where the person was lost. Finding the person is more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack. Most of them are left unsolved.

Chen Shu originally thought about what he would do if the Duan family walked away for a day and came to this restaurant to take a rest.

Unexpectedly, the young master of the Duan family fell ill during the trip and was delayed for half a day.

So they didn't need to go to the restaurant to rest, they just happened to pass by.

-

Inside Kangquan Restaurant.

The door of the restaurant was wide open, and the shopkeeper was lying on the counter, drowsily asleep.

Due to the location of the restaurant, there is very little business during the day, and most of them are customers passing by when they go out of the city at night.

The waiter in the store wiped the table that had not been sat on for a long time. When he was bored, he suddenly looked out the window and saw a line of carriages passing by on the road, and he suddenly became more energetic.

Looking at this direction, it seems to be coming from Luanqu City.

Does it only take half a day to get out of Luanqu City?

The urgent orders to hurry up are not so fast.

The waiter put down the rag in his hand and rubbed his eyes. It was still the same as what he saw before, coming from the city.

He quickly approached the shopkeeper and patted the table, "Shopkeeper, someone is here."

The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a gray cloth hat and a mustache. He looks like a scholar on the street. When he heard that a customer was passing by, he shook his head and said,

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the hurry?" He braced himself and went to the window.

He came from Luanqu City.

The shopkeeper took a look at the driving speed of Qiao Lan and his group. It was neither too slow nor too fast.

He couldn't make up his mind about where it came from. He glanced at He Feng's carriage at the back. It looked good and he thought it was a big business. He was going to pass by their shop, so he went out and enthusiastically solicited customers.

"Sir, it's almost noon. Do you want to stop and have a cup of tea in our store? There is only one store in this area for a hundred miles. If you miss it, you will have to walk for several days before you can see any people..." The shopkeeper stood at the door.

yelled.

Qiao Lan was sitting in the carriage now. Hearing the sound, he opened the curtain and took a look.

Qiao Lan was well aware of the poor quality of service in Beijing. The waiters in the city only served food based on the plate, and were only friendly to well-dressed nobles. Generally, no one would greet people like theirs.

In a shop like this in the wilderness, there are few customers but the shopkeeper is so enthusiastic. It looks weird! Is there something wrong?

Qiao Lan skillfully opened the system map and asked her to see what was fishy in it!

Sure enough, Qiao Lan saw a dense crowd of people in the small room behind the restaurant.

There seemed to be about twenty or thirty people. Judging from the dense crowd, this group of people were gathered in two rooms.

What are dozens of people doing in two rooms in this barren mountain? And the rooms next to them are all empty.

One look and you can tell it's not a good place.

Duan Mingchen approached Qiao Lan's carriage and said, "Mom, I think this shop is very weird. There are not a single customer, but there are horses braying in the yard..."

Qiao Lan: "Ignore him and keep walking."

The shopkeeper seemed to be used to the indifference of Qiao Lan and his group, and stood by the door and continued to watch the excitement.

In the backyard on the other side, a bearded man had just finished counting the number of people, his eyes widened, "His grandma, why is there one person missing? He was here just now, and then disappeared after turning around?" Then he shouted loudly in the house.

He started to curse.

He cursed a few words, and a handsome man came in after hearing the sound, "What's missing? When did it happen?"

"All the adults are here, but one child is missing. They were there just now when we were sharing the meal, but I, who was going to the bathroom, disappeared. He shouldn't have gone far." The bearded man with beards recalled. "I'll catch him back later.
