Chapter 17 Obvious Tracking
The store looks very ordinary, the plaques on it are all peeled off, and only the word "iron" can be vaguely seen.
As soon as I walked in, I felt a wave of heat rushing towards my face, accompanied by the sound of jingling, which made people feel irritable.
Even though the voice came from the backyard, it was clearly heard.
Xu Bai discovered this blacksmith shop when he was wandering around a few days ago.
Come to the blacksmith shop at this moment, of course, to make some weapons.
The sword doesn't need to be crafted, the ghost head sword is good enough, what he needs is a hidden weapon suitable for Maple Leaf Ruyu.
You can’t really throw maple leaves, can you?
Isn’t that funny?
Of course, with his current strength, combined with Maple Leaf's hidden weapon technique, he can kill people with Maple Leaf, but it's only for ordinary people.
Therefore, hidden weapons are necessary.
As the saying goes, people are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed.
These days, it is impossible not to carry some hidden weapons for self-defense.
Inside the store, except for the sound of the blows in the backyard, the outside is no different from an ordinary store.
The blacksmith shop was opened by a middle-aged couple. The husband blacksmithed the iron, and the wife acted as the shopkeeper and accountant.
When Xu Bai walked in, a middle-aged woman in her forties hurried up.
"Guest officer, what do you need to see?" The proprietress asked enthusiastically.
Xu Bai looked around and found that most of the things hanging on the wall were farm tools.
Sheng County is remote, and many of the blacksmith shops do these things.
If you can't specialize in making weapons, then it becomes a weapon shop.
Besides, swords, guns, swords and sticks are not easy to sell in Sheng County, and if you do it, you will lose money.
Sometimes people from the Jianghu pass by, except for one or two people who need it, most of them will not buy weapons specifically.
Just like Xu Bai, the ghost knife is easy to use, and it is impossible for him to change a knife every time he goes.
If there is no blacksmith shop, it does not mean that it will not be made.
"I need to order a batch of iron beads, about the size of a peanut." Xu Bai said bluntly.
The proprietress was taken aback for a moment, and after realizing it, she asked, "Guest officer, how much do you want?"
"Ten thousand." Xu Bai thought for a while and reported the number.
Actually, he can’t carry so much with him, but he can do it first in case of emergency.
He also wanted to make some sharp weapons, such as throwing knives or something.
But after thinking about it later, the flying knife is not suitable for the rainy nature of maple leaves.
Maple leaves are like rain, talking about a lot, winning by quantity.
If you carry throwing knives, how many can you carry on your body?
His surname is not Li, and he can't be a top player in seconds with a flying knife.
In terms of practicality and the matching degree of maple leaves like rain, iron **** are better.
Wouldn't it be nice to throw away handfuls?
"Guest officer, just come and pick up the goods tomorrow." The proprietress made a record on the paper.
"So fast?" Xu Bai was slightly surprised.
"Because of the price." The proprietress smiled and explained: "As long as the profit is high, we will give priority to it."
That's a good thing, no one can get along with money.
"Okay, I'll pick it up tomorrow."
After agreeing on a time and asking about the price, Xu Bai left the blacksmith shop.
He was not in a hurry to go to the inn. In fact, his original plan was to stop going to the inn after getting the progress bar.
But last night he canceled that idea.
Some people, if you don't go to him, he will go to you instead.
The more you calm down, the more you will push your nose.
"It's time to wrap up." Xu Bai thought and returned home.
…
The next day.
He got up early, washed up and went out.
Today, Xu Bai did not go to welcome the inn, but went directly to the blacksmith shop.
The agreed time is morning.
The proprietress is tying a rope to the wheelbarrow to prevent the wooden box from slipping.
After Xu Bai approached, the proprietress's side had already finished.
"Guest officer, the iron beads are packed inside, do you want to inspect the goods?" The proprietress untied the top rope and opened the wooden box.
In the wooden box, there are dense iron beads.
Xu Bai reached in, stirred it casually, and made a rattling sound.
Picked up one of them again, and squeezed it hard.
In terms of hand feel, it is great.
He wanted to put his hand into the iron ball again, just like putting his hand into rice when he was a child, it was a bit addictive.
Damn it, dead memories are attacking me!
Xu Bai shook his head, shaking off the irrelevant brain supplements.
"Guest officer, we will give you a wheelbarrow for free so that you won't be unable to carry it." The proprietress explained again.
From Xu Bai's point of view, there are a lot less farm tools in the store. Judging from the situation, the farm tools have been melted down.
Why is the building speed so fast? He doesn't delve too deeply into it.
After paying the bill, Xu Bai pushed his wheelbarrow back home.
After unloading the iron beads and moving them into the house, he took out a khaki cloth bag, grabbed the iron beads one by one, and stuffed them into the bag.
After the bag was full, Xu Bai put it in his chest.
"Everything is ready."
Stability is the kingly way.
But seeking stability does not mean enduring it all the time.
The other party pushed his nose to his face and tried him with corpse tricks. If he didn't give him a backhand slap, he would really be considered an honest person.
Walking out of the door, Xu Bai stopped staying and walked towards the Yingying Inn.
…
After arriving at the Welcome Inn, he went in to eat and drink as usual.
Waiting until noon, when Yun Xiang came down from the second floor and left the shop, Xu Bai checked out and left.
He didn't go home this time, but followed Yun Xiang.
At noon, the streets are crowded and lively.
Xu Bai found that Yunxiang was like shopping, wandering here, walking there, and lingering at the rouge booth from time to time.
He was not in a hurry, and followed patiently.
And followed up aboveboard, not worried about Yunxiang finding out at all.
He has never learned to track, let alone track.
If the corpse was made by Yun Xiang, then it's a clear sign, and it doesn't matter whether you find it or not.
I just follow you, just to see what you are doing.
Not convinced?
Have the ability to come back and hit me?
—Arrogance.
Throughout the noon, Xu Bai followed Yun Xiang.
During this period, Yun Xiang even turned her head and stared at him with very angry eyes.
Xu Bai didn't care, and even waved.
Just the look in the eyes, and the fact that he didn't say anything after he found out that he was being followed made it even weirder.
Waiting until the afternoon, Yun Xiang was still wandering around, but Xu Bai could clearly feel that Yun Xiang seemed to be very anxious, even in a trance.
When passing by a booth, I almost bumped into the booth.
But he just didn't come to ask about Xu Bai's situation, even if he found out that he was being followed, he didn't say a word.
In the blink of an eye, the night quietly opened.
There are fewer and fewer people on the street, and finally it becomes deserted.
Besides Yun Xiang and Xu Bai, only the moon is left.
Yun Xiang was still walking, turned around and entered a remote alley.
Xu Bai followed behind.
When he entered this alley, he realized that it turned out to be a dead end.
"Finally I can't take it anymore." Xu Bai came to the end, ready to turn over.
Before he could make a move, a hand stretched out from the side and grabbed his shoulder.
