Dongzi had never heard such a sound before, so he asked, "Where does this sound come from? It's the first time I've heard it."

The driver of the carriage was a local. Seeing this, he said with pride: "This is the sound made by our white deer. That's where they live!" After saying that, he pointed in that direction and asked Dongzi to look over there.

Dongzi looked in the direction he pointed and said, "There's actually such a big deer! Won't it be hunted by hunters?"

The driver said, "This is a white deer, so don't hit it! The white deer blesses us Luzhou people with good weather and good family harmony. If anyone dares to hit the white deer, we Luzhou people will demand an explanation even if it costs our lives. This is the consensus of all Luzhou people! If it's a black deer, then you can hit it."

Dongzi became interested and asked quickly, "What kind of deer is the black deer?" The coachman explained it to him, and Tong Wenyao was listening beside him.

"A black deer is a deer with black hair all over its body. This kind of deer can bring bad luck to people. When people in Luzhou City see a black deer, they will kill it to prevent it from harming people." He paused and continued, "Black deer cannot be eaten. Anyone who eats it will be poisoned and die.

Dongzi was puzzled and asked, "Is the black deer poisonous from birth?"

The groom smiled and shook his head, saying, "Of course not. Black deer appear from other places every once in a while. Those who discover them will organize the villagers or the city gate guards to kill the black deer. Otherwise, if the black deer dies in the river, the fish in the river will die, and livestock will die if they drink the water. Even humans are no exception."

This was the first time Tong Wen Yao had heard of such a thing, and she couldn't help but feel curious about the black deer. If it was poisoned, then the poison of the black deer could be said to be the most poisonous she had ever seen. But now the driver said that if the black deer died in the river, the fish would also die, so the poison was still quite strong, at least in her opinion.

The gate of Luzhou City is built with blue bricks mixed with glutinous rice paste. It looks gray-green on the outside. The city wall is about three meters high. There are many people coming and going, but they walk on the carriage road, so it is still relatively fast to get in.

After entering the city, they got off the carriage. Now they had to find a yard and rent it for a while. After his uncle arrived in two days, they would go into the Deer Forest to search for the python. However, Tong Wen Yao thought that they should first inquire about the news in the city and in the village for the next two days. If someone knew about the python, they might be able to find it faster.

Wang Liao took his people to rent a human trafficker, while Dongzi and she wandered around the city. Xiaoxue still followed her, but perhaps because this was Lucheng, pedestrians did not have much fear or avoidance of these ferocious beasts. However, even so, they were still some distance away from Xiaoxue.

According to the address given by his uncle when he came, they came to the door of Xuanfeng Teahouse. It was not open yet, so the door was not open yet. However, even so, Tong Wen Yao could still hear the sound coming from inside.

Dongzi reached out and patted the door, then shouted inside, "Open the door! We have something to ask your boss."

A man came out and said unhappily, "Why are you shouting? Can't you see they're under renovation? They're not open yet. Come back when they open."

When Dongzi heard the waiter say this, his tone became even more hostile: "How can you run a business like this? You chase customers away when they come!"

The waiter glanced at Dongzi, then at Tong Wenyao, and snorted, "If you're poor, don't come. You can't afford it!"

Dongzi clenched his fists when he heard this, wanting to beat up the waiter. She was also obviously angry when she heard this, and she turned slightly to the side, revealing Xiaoxue.

Xiaoxue was also quite capable and roared directly at the waiter, scaring him back.

"Boss...Boss, someone is here to cause trouble."

After a while, a man in dark brown clothes came out with two beards. He was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, and there was a young man a little shorter than him. Seeing the young man's extraordinary temperament, he glanced at the waiter, thinking of his temper, and shook his head. He thought to himself: "I never thought that my kindness a few days ago would save someone who really looked down on others."

He apologized to the two repeatedly, "I'm sorry, Xiao Er is ignorant. I apologize to you two on his behalf." Hearing that they said they wanted to find him from the beginning,

He asked gently, "I wonder why you are looking for me?"

Tong Wen Yao's expression couldn't help but ease when she saw how the shopkeeper handled the situation. If this shopkeeper was just like the waiter, then they wouldn't have to work in Xuanfeng Teahouse.

Since the shopkeeper had spoken, she took out a black sign from her bag and held it in front of the shopkeeper. When the shopkeeper saw the black sign, his expression changed unpredictably, and with a hint of constipation, he asked, "Greetings, Pavilion Master."

Tong Wenyao smiled and said, "Manager Guo, you're welcome. May we go in?"

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Guo turned sideways and guided her in. Seeing the Pavilion Master patrolling the building silently, a thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead. Tong Wenyao glanced at him and asked, "Shopkeeper Guo, it's not hot these days, why are you sweating so much?"

Shopkeeper Guo reluctantly responded, "Master, that boy was just being naive. Please be magnanimous and let him go!"

Tong Wenyao glanced at Shopkeeper Guo, then at the waiter who had just opened the door, and said with a smile, "Okay, but if I find out about this again, you'll be kicked out!"

Upon hearing this, Manager Guo immediately said that he would teach him the rules. Tong Wenyao didn't exchange pleasantries with him, but asked him to report to her the results of his recent investigation into where the pythons were.

The backyard had not been finished yet, but the lobby had been renovated, so they were sitting in the lobby to talk. When Manager Guo heard this, he quickly said, "I have already sorted these out, and am waiting for the Pavilion Master to come and get them!" In fact, when the steward brought the message, he thought the steward would come to get them himself, but he didn't expect that the Pavilion Master would come in person.

He brought something resembling a compass to the Pavilion Master and said respectfully, "This is a compass unique to Luzhou City. There are only ten compasses in the entire city. It's used to search for giant pythons and black deer."

Shopkeeper Guo paused and said, "The main thing is to search for black deer, because black deer are very poisonous. After they capture them, they will burn them."

She frowned after hearing this. This was a bit too weird. It seemed that the black deer had become a taboo in Luzhou City. Everyone was afraid of it.

Dongzi, who was standing by, saw Shopkeeper Guo mention the black deer again and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What does this black deer look like?"
