The shopkeeper worked quickly, and within the time it took to burn an incense stick, Gu Dingyu ate hot wontons at the drug store.

Huai Gujun, along with Qian Qinyi and Yang Jinfan, also sat down at the wonton shop on the street.

"Boss, three bowls of wontons!"

The clear young man's voice sounded, and the middle-aged man who was busy putting the wontons in the pot raised his head and glanced at the visitor.

Oh, three and a half little dolls.

The boy's overall temperament shows that he is not an ordinary boy. He should be a young master from a wealthy family. The two little girls next to him, judging from their clothes, should be his little maids serving him.

"Hey, that's good! Please wait a moment, sir. I'll be back soon."

After the boss finished serving the wontons, he walked quickly to the small wooden table where Huai Gujun and the others chose to sit, and took off the rag from his waist to wipe the table.

After wiping the table quickly, he smiled and asked Huai Gujun and the others to sit down, and then turned back to work in front of the stove.

The three of them sat down at the table. The two little girls came to the town for the first time. They couldn't help their curiosity and turned their little heads to look around.

This street is not the main street in the town. Compared with the bustling main street, it is much cooler.

However, this wonton shop has never lacked customer traffic because it tastes good.

There are several tea shops and inns around. There is no shortage of customers on weekdays, and of course it will not be full.

While Huai Gujun and the others were waiting for the wontons to be served, there was a person sitting by the window in a private room on the second floor of an inn opposite the wonton shop, looking at them.

You can tell at a glance that he is still a child from his thin body, but his temperament is so gloomy.

He stretched out his sickly white hand and grasped the teacup handed over by his subordinate.

When the teacup came close to his pale lips, he paused.

"Crack!"

The crisp sound of the tea cup falling to the ground startled the passers-by on the street and raised their heads to see what was going on?

The masked boy glanced at the guard beside him with sinister eyes, and uttered three words in an understatement.

"Too hot."

Huai Gujun and the other two subconsciously looked towards the inn opposite, and saw a man wearing a bronze tiger mask watching them from the window on the second floor of the inn.

Mr. Huaigu even looked directly into the man's eyes, and their eyes met. The masked man quickly looked away, but Mr. Huaigu frowned.

He seems to have seen this person before...

Feeling the attention of everyone, the masked man immediately shrank to the window, avoiding their scrutinizing eyes.

Huai Gujun's gaze lingered for a while, and he saw an adult man in civilian clothes coming forward and closing the window.

He withdrew his gaze and stared at the dark brown wooden table in front of him in concentration.

Those eyes felt very familiar to him, as if they had seen them more than once.

The masked boy in the window also felt familiar, and his deep eyes were filled with chills.

Could it be that besides that person, there was someone else in the capital who sent people to follow him?

Thinking of this possibility, the boy's mood became even more violent.

Sensing his agitated mood, the plainclothes guard hurriedly came to the young man's side and asked in a low voice, regardless of the shattered pieces of porcelain on the ground.

"Master, if you don't feel well, please go see the doctor immediately!"

The guard was about to get up and go to find the doctor. The masked boy held his arm and whispered in his ear.

"Go and arrange for people to deal with the spies on the opposite side!"

The guards were frightened. Who are those on the opposite side?

Aren't they all children? How could they be spies?

Seeing the guard's hesitation, the masked boy slapped the seat and growled.

"Why, don't you listen to what I say? Are you also a spy sent by others? Both of you want me dead, right?"

The guard quickly lowered his head: "I don't dare. How could I be someone else's spy? You are my only master. Master, please don't get excited. I will send someone to deal with it now!"

After saying that, the guard quickly stood up and took the masked boy from the seat to lie down on the bed.

The young man's mood was still restless, like a lone wolf that was forced into a desperate situation, beleaguered on all sides and covered with bruises.

"Master, lie down and wait until your subordinates come back to clean up the debris on the ground."

After the guard finished his last instructions, he took one more look at the young man lying on the bed before closing the door, then closed the door and sighed softly.

The master's mood has become increasingly unstable. He has encountered assassins all the way south. Now the master will kill as long as he feels something is right.

No, even the children sitting downstairs eating wontons are not spared.

The guard mourned for the three children in his heart. Even if he died a good death, he could not frighten his master anymore.

Thinking of this, he still determined his steps and went to arrange manpower.

Hui Gujun thought something was wrong the more he thought about it. When the boss put the freshly baked wontons in front of them, he still didn't move.

Seeing that he was distracted, Yang Jinfan gently tugged on his sleeve.

"Brother Jun, why are you so dazed? Eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good after it gets cold."

As he spoke, he picked up the spoon and handed it to him, and stirred it for him thoughtfully.

Qian Qinyi looked at Huai Gujun worriedly and asked, "Brother Jun, what's wrong with you? If you feel uncomfortable, we'll go back to find Doctor Gu right now!"

Having said that, he got up.

Huai Gujun motioned for her to sit down: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Eat your wontons quickly. You've been traveling all morning. You're probably hungry too, but you have to eat quickly. Our foster father is still waiting for us at the pharmacy."

"good!"

The two little girls replied sweetly, eating happily, but Gu Gujun always felt like something bad was about to happen.

He took three bites of the wontons, two bites of the wontons, and then stood up to pay the bill.

The two little girls looked at each other in surprise when they saw him eating so fast.

Doesn't he really feel hot?

"Boss, how much does a bowl of wontons cost?"

"A bowl costs eight cents, and the guest only needs to pay twenty cents."

"Okay, go on."

Mr. Huai Gu took out his purse from his pocket, counted twenty cents and handed it to the boss, turned around and sat down again.

The round eyes of the two little girls stared at Huai Gujun. Qian Qinyi swallowed her saliva unnaturally and lowered her voice.

"Brother Jun, a bowl of wontons only costs eight cents. It's too expensive!"

Yang Jinfan also nodded in agreement. Gu Jun had promised her ten cents a month. She originally thought it was quite a lot, but it turned out that it was only enough to buy a bowl of wontons!

Has she been tricked?

Mr. Huai Gu smiled and said, "Is this expensive? If you don't eat it quickly, wouldn't it be a waste if it gets cold?"

When Qian Qinyi heard this, she quickly immersed herself in showing off the wontons.

Yang Jinfan pouted and immersed himself in eating wontons. For the sake of asking her to eat wontons today, she didn't care about him for the time being.

Huai Gujun caught a glimpse of Yang Jinfan's unhappy expression and secretly smiled.

This girl must be obsessed with money!

Does she know that she is still a child, and if the wages are too high, there will be people in the village looking for trouble?

Not to mention helping her when the time comes, the hospital may not even think about having a peaceful life.
