Chapter 42: Miserable Clouds in Ganlu Town(1/2)
"This pastry is really produced in Ganlufang."
As soon as Ning Feng took Da Ya to this place, he glanced at it and immediately made a judgment.
Ganlufang is just a small shop, with the shop yard behind it, the front is a simple shop, and a few tables lined up outside for people to rest when they eat.
More often than not, I am in a hurry and I buy it and leave.
From the pastries placed on the tables, they were green and dripping like jade, Ning Feng knew that he had found the wrong place.
"Big brother..."
Da Ya couldn't walk when she came here, holding her thumb in her mouth, her voice was vague, her little head first raised and looked at it with expectation, then lowered shyly.
"Sit down."
Ning Feng smiled slightly, pulled the little girl and sat down on the empty table.
As soon as the two of them were sitting down, a young woman with coarse cloth hairpin quickly stepped out of the shop, stood by the table and asked, "Young Master, what do you want?"
"You can have some pastries."
Ning Feng answered casually and stared at the young woman.
Since this shop is related to Tian Yunzi's arrangement, he must not fail to observe it carefully even if he is regarded as a disciple.
The young woman looked about twenty years old, with a pretty face, with a plain face, and frowning, as if something was hard to say. While she was waiting for Ning Feng to answer, when other guests greeted her, she still looked up from time to time and looked towards the entrance of the town, unable to cover up her panic.
Fortunately, the title of Dengtuzi fell to Ning Fengtou. The young woman did not notice his gaze at all. After hearing the answer, she hurried away.
"Young mom, top with nectar green jade cake."
"Young mom, what about the snacks you took out? I'm just going to eat at home, so hurry up."
"Young mother, you can't come again. My girl will lift your table up. I won't compensate you if you are old man."
“…”
With a loud call, the figure of a young woman named Youniang and a young woman spread throughout every corner of Ganlufang. She was able to deal with the situation when facing guests, whether they were urging, kind, making fun of them, or criticizing them, but as the sun sets, the sadness on Qingxiu's face became stronger and stronger.
"She is the only one busy shop?"
Ning Feng saw now, and felt that his own judgment was correct, and the mystery that Master Tianyunzi fought fell on Ganlufang.
He said unconsciously, and the little girl with her mouth full of pastries on the opposite side was so whimpering that she couldn't speak.
Seeing her gestures and trying to pick the pastry out of her mouth, she was reluctant to let go, otherwise she would be anxious, and she would be in a good mood.
He reached out to wipe the pastry crumbs on the corner of the little girl's mouth, handed a bowl of water, patted her on the back, and finally got it done.
"Sister Young Mother, there are two older brothers and one older grandfather."
As soon as Da Ya could speak, she immediately counted Ning Feng with her fingers in a decent manner.
"Where are their people?"
Ning Feng raised his eyebrows, and then thought of the sadness that could not be concealed on the young lady's face, and seemed to have grasped something.
This question is not something that the little girl can answer. She shook her head blankly, but did she understand.
Ning Feng ordered her another plate of pastries, then got up and walked towards the diners on the table next to her.
The gentle scholar asked politely. He had no time to find out the whole story of the matter clearly without a cup of tea.
"Young Niang's surname is Han, and she is the child bride from the Han family. When she grew up, she was given the eldest son of the Han family."
"Ganlufang is a property passed down by the Han family. There are three fathers and sons in the family who guard a Ganlu well. With its special water quality and their research in the past dynasties, Ganlu Green Jade Cake is famous all over the world."
Ning Feng passed it through his mind and found out the details about the Han family’s father and son.
In addition to the inseparable nectar and green jade cake of the Han family, the Han family also needs some kind of green jade vine deep in the Gobi Desert as the main material. Old Man Han went to the same day before yesterday without returning.
Today, the two sons of the Han family, one big and one young, were panicked and went into the Gobi Desert to find their father.
When they talked about this, the diners sighed, as if they were very pessimistic about their ending. These people gathered here, rather than saying they were greedy for pastries, they were waiting for news.
"It's only two or three days. Why do they seem to believe that Old Man Han is dead? Even the safety of the two Han boys is not optimistic?"
Ning Feng was puzzled and wanted to ask again, but these people were so secretive that they refused to mention them again.
He didn't forcefully ask, and came back thoughtfully and sat down. The little girl opposite didn't seem to notice that he had been wandering around and was still fighting with pastries.
Da Ya's belly was full of bulge, and she still had a big mouthful of mouthfuls. She ate sweetly, with a look of cake and cake dregs on her face, like a little cat.
Ning Feng looked funny and wiped her from time to time, relaxed his mind and talked with the little girl, and time flowed out of his fingers bit by bit.
The sun is getting more and more slanted to the west.
"Master, I don't know how far I sent me with a rainbow-making technique, and how much time it took to go on the road, but I was completely confused."
Ning Feng looked at the sunset in the direction of the town entrance and subconsciously reached out to cover his chest. There, the five golden talismans were emitting warmth, as if they were carrying a piece of warm jade.
The realm of the Golden Pill Realm and the Great Technique of the Sun God Palace are revealed when they push and send, and the long rainbow spans the world.
I missed it in the wind and was fascinated by leisurely.
At this moment, the people in Ganlufang are becoming less and less crowded. Han Youniang is no longer so busy. Her beautiful face is full of sorrow, guarding the door and looking at the entrance of the town.
Ning Feng was about to go up and get close to the trap, and see if he could find out anything else, suddenly—
"Dad!"
"Dad~~We're back home."
"I'll take you home, open your eyes and take a look~~~"
The rough voice, the dull voice, the crying sky and the earth, the sadness overflowed, and the sound that was blocked in my heart came from the direction of the town entrance.
Ning Feng stood up and looked up.
At the entrance of the town, a dull man bowed his body and carried another person on his back, running towards Ganlufang.
The man behind the dull man's back did not move, his pale head leaning against the man's shoulder, like a rag bag.
"Ah~Dad, Dad~!"
Han Youniang shouted to meet him. The dull man rushed to the gate of Ganlufang and his knees softened and he fell to the ground. The diners around him who had not left were surrounded.
Ning Feng originally wanted to step forward, but his mind changed, moved his position, blocking the mess between Da Ya and Da Ya.
"Big brother, don't block it, woo, don't block it."
The little girl danced with her hands covered with cake crumbs, looking very dissatisfied.
"That's not something that children should see." Ning Feng shook his head, paying attention to the movement on the other end, and said softly to the little girl: "Come on, you can pretend to go home to eat the remaining pastries. Don't stay here, you should worry at home."
The big girl flattened her mouth and obediently obediently. She put the remaining cakes, which were not much, and fell to the hem of her clothes, and walked outside with her two small hands in her pastries.
While doing this, she was still muttering in her mouth: "Big brother, is the old man asleep too? Da Ya has seen it, and many people are asleep."
Ning Feng heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he vaguely grasped something. He suddenly realized why Han Youniang had sadness in her eyes and why the diners were so pessimistic.
He resisted the urge to ask, watched the little girl who cherished the pastry with one hand and waved her arms with the other. He left her sight, and then turned around and headed towards the crowd.
Ning Feng cast a glass body, and he was only a small step on the road to immortal cultivation, but his physique was far from comparable to ordinary people. He went in without a trace and squeezed into the innermost without much effort.
There, Old Man Han had been put down and placed on a old sheepskin mattress. He was shriveled and thin, his limbs were like chicken feet, his mouth was wide open, and he could be vaguely filled with yellow sand.
.
“This is dehydrated.”
Ning Feng could tell at a glance that this old man Han seemed to have been basking in the fierce sun in the Gobi Desert for a few days, and he was clearly a mummy and had no chance of life.
"It's just this belly..."
His eyes turned and fell on the belly of the old man Han's body.
The mummy's belly is round, as if it is a pregnant woman for several months. It is in sharp contrast to the shriveled and dehydrated body. It is impossible not to see it.
"Old Master Cheng is here, everyone will give in, everyone will give in."
Ning Feng was still thinking about what was in Old Man Han’s stomach, and a noise came from outside the crowd.
The crowd cracked a gap, and an elderly man with a cane staggered.
At the same time, there were crying everywhere in the town, and white banners hung high, countless atmospheres of sorrow, pain and despair were shrouded in this dusk town.
“What’s the situation?”
Ning Feng was stunned at first, then thought about it, and then he understood, "Yes, it is estimated that the body found was not only Old Man Han, but Han Da was just running all the way and turning around first."
What Da Ya just said came to his mind, "...Is the old man asleep too? Da Ya has seen it, and many people are asleep..." In the ignorant voice of Tong Zhi revealed the despair of each family and the lonely.
"Old Master Cheng used to be a famous old coroner in the county, so he would never be wrong with what he saw."
"Hey, Mr. Cheng is old and he is going to live a life of his life when he comes back. Who knew that this would happen?"
"Which group is the first one?"
“…”
Ning Feng'er listened to the discussion around him, and watched Mr. Cheng walk to the body of Old Man Han, squat down with difficulty, reached out and pressed, then touched his mouth and looked at it, shook his head and sighed.
"Old man, my father..."
