The Road To Play From Douluo
Chapter 44: The Thief of Edo
It has been half a month since Luo Ta went out to look for cyan Higan flowers. Because he didn’t know much about cyan Higan flowers, Rota asked some knowledgeable flower shop owners for advice.
Luo Ta visited flower shops in Sakura Town and other places, but unfortunately he didn't get any useful information.
After half a month of searching, Lotta arrived at Edo Castle, which was Tokyo during the Warring States Period.
Compared to the small Sakura Town, the scale of Edo is much larger. The bustling street market is filled with people coming and going, and the whole Edo Castle has a lively atmosphere.
"It's really lively. Let's go to the flower shop first. Maybe the people here are more knowledgeable."
Rota wearing the Celestial Master's robe attracted the attention of many passers-by. Compared with the daily clothes of people in Edo Castle, Rota's outfit was slightly novel.
"Sorry everyone, I'm new to Edo and want to get some news."
"Are you asking, old gentleman? We are all locals and should be able to help you."
"Well, I wonder if there are some famous flower shops here in Edo? I want to go shopping."
"Oh~ That's it. Old sir, come with me and I'll take you there!"
"Haha, I'm sorry to trouble you, young man." Lotta replied with a smile.
"Hey, it's okay, it's just a little effort, it's nothing. But old sir, you actually like flowers. This is really strange. Do you want to give it to your sweetheart?"
Lotta was amused and joked with a smile: "Donor, don't make fun of me. How can I still have those thoughts at my age?"
"I'm sorry, old sir, I was presumptuous just now." The young man leading the way bowed to Lotta decisively and apologized.
Luo Ta also sighed secretly, it is indeed a country with the spirit of craftsmanship. There is really nothing to say in apologizing, they are professional.
Under the leadership of the young man, Lotta came to a large flower shop.
"Old sir, this is the largest flower shop in Edo. It covers almost all the mainstream flowers on the market. Just take your time and choose, and you will always be satisfied. I will take my leave now, sir. Have fun."
Lotta thanked him steadily: "Thank you young man,
May you be accompanied by happiness throughout your life. "
After bidding farewell to the young man, Lotta sniffed the aroma surrounding the flower shop and opened the door of the flower shop.
"Welcome, what flowers does this guest need?" A girl in a pink kimono greeted Lotta with a warm smile.
"Little girl, I want to know about a kind of flower."
Hearing Lota's words, the kimono girl puffed up her chest confidently and boasted: "Hey, guest, don't you know, my flower shop is the most famous in Edo, feel free to ask. , there is no flower in the world that I don’t know.”
"Oh? You are so confident, little girl, but have you ever heard of a flower like the blue Hibiscus flower?"
The air became silent for a moment, and Lotta could clearly see that the expression on the kimono girl's face gradually became stiff.
The girl's performance is enough to prove one thing. She may have never heard of this so-called cyan flower.
"How about it, little girl, have you ever heard of this flower?"
The kimono girl closed her eyes and put her finger on her forehead in embarrassment. She was trying hard to find answers in her brain. After a few minutes, she finally gave up thinking.
"Old sir, um... I'm sorry, I've never heard of the so-called blue Higanbana flower, but I do have the common Higanbana flower here."
Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, Lotta didn't feel disappointed. Anyway, looking for the blue Higanbana was just a whim.
"That's it. Then I wonder where you found these flowers from the other side."
The kimono girl suddenly became alert. Could it be that the old man in front of her was here to steal business from her?
Looking at the girl with serious eyes, Lotta felt that it was necessary to clarify the purpose of coming here.
"Little girl, don't think too much. I'm just here to look for the blue Biangan flower. I can't compete with you for business. Besides, do you think I'm a businessman?"
After hearing this, the kimono girl breathed a sigh of relief and told Lotta the origin of these Higan flowers.
After getting the information he wanted, Lotta magnanimously took all the Higan flowers in the store as a way of repaying the kimono girl for helping him.
After leaving the flower shop, Rota sorted out the existing information. First of all, the other party did not know anything about the cyan Higanbana, and could not get any useful clues for the time being.
Judging from Lotta's own information, the green flower blooms only for two or three days a year, and it only blooms during the day. Finding this flower is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The reason why I asked the kimono girl about the origin of these red Higan flowers was to go there and investigate for myself. Since they are both Higan flowers, the blue Higan flowers are likely to grow there as well.
"That's all, don't think about it so much. Let's go and have a look. Maybe there will be some unexpected surprises." Lotta also put aside his thoughts and rushed towards the place where the kimono girl said.
In the flower shop, the girl in kimono hurriedly ran upstairs, opened the door and said hurriedly: "Manager, I found the person you want me to pay attention to."
The man sitting with his back to the girl raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in a slightly curious voice: "Oh? Are you serious about this?"
"Of course it's true. I heard it very clearly. The old gentleman was asking about the blue Hibiscus flower!"
"Well, I understand, you did a good job, this is a reward for you."
The man threw a few pieces of broken silver to the kimono girl. The girl happily took the broken silver and expressed her sincere gratitude to the man.
"Okay, go about your business."
The man was wearing a green shirt, with his collar slightly open to reveal his fair skin. At first glance, he looked like a quiet and elegant man.
With her light gray hair and that beautiful face, it can be said that she is a hit among men, women, and children of all ages.
"Huh... I didn't expect that someone is really looking for the blue Higanbana flower. It seems that the other party should know a lot of things, and it is worth investigating."
After saying that, the man slightly opened his closed eyes, and a pair of strange red pupils burst out with bursts of cold light, looking extremely strange and terrifying. The words "Shang Xian II" were also engraved in the red pupils.
Lotta strolled on the bustling streets, listening to the lively cries on both sides of the streets. This kind of life was extremely pleasant.
Suddenly, a stern shouting came into Lotta's ears, and then a thin boy flew past him.
"Oh? This kid looks familiar. Who is he..." Lotta couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
"Someone help me, catch the kid in front of me, he stole my money."
This cry also reminded Lotta of the boy's identity. The corner of Luo Ta's mouth curled up, and he said slowly: "It turns out to be Yiwoza... Well, it would be more appropriate to call him Kōji at this time."
"I'm so tired. This kid is so annoying. He should be eaten by ghosts!" The man who had his wallet robbed panted and ran to Lotta. Seeing that Komaji had disappeared, he gave up chasing him.
"The other party is just a child, so there's no need to worry about it. You are already so old anyway."
The man was still angry when he heard someone on the side talking to the thief. He became angry for a moment, turned around angrily and shouted: "Can a child do whatever he wants? Do you know how many times that child has stolen? ? If you don’t know, don’t make sarcastic comments from the sidelines.”
