The cricket bee snickered as it looked at the people passing by outside the alley. It took a deep puff of its pipe, shook off the remaining ashes on the cigarette butt, and blew out a large cloud of white, pungent smoke from its mouth. After exhaling the smoke, he raised his head and enjoyed this rare moment of enjoyment. In the end, he put out the cigarette butt against the stone wall in satisfaction. Looking at the disappearing fire in front of him, he smiled regretfully and muttered to himself,"What a pity. It would be better if we had a pipe at this time.”
In the past, Cricket Bee always carried a tobacco pipe with him. At that time, no one cared about the licentious profession of mercenaries. He also lived a very casual life. However, ever since he followed the captain and the others from mercenaries to the regular army, he could only secretly roll up a few cigarettes with paper and smoke. Every time he smoked, he had to find a way to cover up the smell of cigarettes on his body. If others found out, they would probably report him to the captain. The captain was not scary. What was scary was the double fans beside the captain! That hateful guy was always able to find all kinds of tricks to help him "quit smoking". The "tragedy" of the last "quit smoking" operation was still vivid in his mind. This time, he must not be discovered again.
The cricket couldn't help but shiver when it recalled the smile on Mystery's face. It quickly ran to the market in the middle of the street to buy some spices and sprinkled them on its body. It planned to walk around the street a few times until the smell on its body was almost gone before going back.
The night sky in Qi City was very quiet. Although the streets were a little lively because of the ghost market, it still could not cover up its original loneliness. The flood a few months ago made many people in Qi City find their own ways to move out of the city. Qi City originally belonged to the surrounding areas of Baroque. After the flood, it would take a long time for Qi City to return to its former bustling scenery. However, these had nothing to do with the wandering bees. In his eyes, as long as there were no major problems like this phenomenon in Qi City, he would slack off if he could.
Are they talking about the ghost market? Hearing the conversation, the cricket immediately stopped and looked at the three people walking side by side with its ghostly eyes.
"I heard that the owner of the ghost market went out.”The middle-aged man in the middle rubbed his chin and said slowly. He was dressed in coarse clothes, and his scarred arm was exposed. Coupled with the long scar on his left eye, he gave off a very dangerous feeling.
"But…I've been in the ghost market for a while, so why haven't I seen the owner? " Hmm…" The middle-aged man grumbled a few times. His eyes flashed as he suddenly thought of something. He lowered his head and began to think.
" Sigh..." The uncle sighed and stopped talking. He wiped his face with his fingers.
Seeing this, the cricket bee followed for a short distance and then stopped. He came out of the hidden darkness, his eyes looking very ghostly in the darkness.
" Owner..." the cricket bee murmured. Although he was not familiar with the Ghost Market, he could clearly hear from the conversations of those people that the owner had a high status in the Ghost Market. Just the owner went out alone, and the entire Ghost Market had to stop? This so-called lodge owner was really curious…
"It's getting late. It's time to go back. Otherwise, that Thunder Wolf will definitely have two rules again.”The cricket suppressed its curiosity and talked to itself. It slowly raised its head and looked at the dark night sky. On the distant horizon, a few pitiful stars hung in the black sky, shining as brightly as they could.
The cricket bee looked at the ordinary night sky and was silent for a long time. For some reason, it suddenly whispered,"" What's the use of this little light…" Then, he turned around with a dark face and hurriedly disappeared into the street.
"How did you know that someone was following us?”At this moment, the tall and thin man was looking at the middle-aged man in the middle with a scar on his face and an honest expression.
"Can't you feel it?" Dao Ba glanced behind him from the corner of his eye. After confirming that the person following him had left, he whispered.
"What do you think?" The middle-aged man was no longer in deep thought. In fact, after the middle-aged man sighed, he wiped his face with his fingers and made a gesture to keep quiet. The two people beside him quickly understood what he meant.
"It seems like they followed us when we mentioned the ghost market's owner.”Dao Ba lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying in a low voice.
"It seems that I have to talk less about the ghost market in the future.”The middle-aged man couldn't help but smile when he saw the tall and thin man's shocked expression. However, he was actually a little afraid.
"Just be more careful in the future.”The honest scarred uncle smiled gently and hooked his arm around the tall and thin man's shoulders.
"Tsk!" The tall and thin man snorted in dissatisfaction, but from his expression, one could see how much he cherished the friendship of the scarred uncle.
"Are you preparing to leave?" The middle-aged man was silent for a few seconds when he heard Dao Ba's words. Actually, what he was thinking about on the way was not about the owner, but about the man with the scar on his face.
Perhaps he didn't expect the middle-aged man's words, Dao Ba was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. The tall and thin man's expression changed as he looked at him.
Feeling the burning gazes from the two of them, Dao Ba knew that he could no longer hide it, so he simply admitted,"Yes, I have to investigate that matter. I've stayed in Qi City…for too long.”
The tall and thin man and the middle-aged man didn't speak. Their expressions changed, but they still followed him on the street. However, their initial pretended silence turned into true silence...
