Chapter 593 Are the desserts free?
Xuanyuan Batian: "Old man, it's such a short distance, and you're charging 1800 gold coins? Isn't that a bit too much?"
The old man driving the cart said, "Hmm? Wasn't I clear enough? Kid, are you trying to renege on your debt?"
Xuanyuan Batian: "I didn't mean to renege on my debt, it's just..."
The old man driving the cart: "So he's going to renege on his payment? Hey, folks, come and see! Someone took the cart but isn't paying. He's trying to cheat me, this poor old man! Who will give me justice?"
As soon as he finished speaking, two knife-wielding village guards suddenly appeared from nowhere. "Who? Who's refusing to pay? Who's causing trouble in Frost and Snow Village?"
Xuanyuan Batian was taken aback, then quickly said with a smile, "No, it's a misunderstanding, I just..."
The old man rushing to catch the bus: "Give me the money!"
Xuanyuan Lingyun immediately took out a small bag: "Old man, here, this is the fare."
The old driver took the gold coins, counted them, snorted, sat back in the carriage, flicked his whip, and drove off.
The two village guards shouted, "No trouble allowed! If you try to renege on your debt again, we'll arrest you and put you in jail!"
Xuanyuan Batian wasn't stupid; he knew he couldn't offend the NPCs, so he apologized repeatedly.
The two village guards brandished their knives: "Heh, we get a subsidy for each mission. If we can't catch the person, we don't get the subsidy."
Xuanyuan Lingyun immediately took out a small bag of gold coins: "Thank you both."
The villager guard weighed the bag in his hand: "Alright, this won't happen again!"
The two people disappeared into the crowd in a flash.
Xuanyuan Lingyun sighed: "Brother, this is NPC territory, let's bear with it."
Xuanyuan Batian frowned: "I have been holding back. I just questioned it. These NPCs are too overbearing!"
He's incredibly patient. If it were a player who dared to treat him like that, he would have killed them long ago.
Xuanyuan Lingyun: "Brother, maybe this is just the way people in Frost and Snow Village are."
Lu Xingchen looked at it for a long time and shook his head secretly.
The NPCs in Frosty Village are really not to be trifled with; she doesn't even dare to talk to the local natives anymore.
However, it won't do if there's still no news about the Awakening Flower.
After thinking for a moment, she quietly released Lanlan: "Lanlan, fly up in the tree and see if you can hear any news. Remember, you must hide yourself."
This place is full of NPCs, and they are all cunning and powerful, so be careful.
Actually, a lamb would be the most suitable, as it has super hearing. However, there are too many people in Frost Village, and the weather is cold. The appearance of a tender little lamb would attract countless mouths.
Lu Xingchen didn't dare let it out.
The three of them walked back and forth and searched for a long time, but found nothing.
Unwittingly, they spotted a two-story building, from which a head peeked out – it was Xuanyuan Batian.
Gao Dafu's eyes lit up: "A restaurant? It's a small restaurant? Xiao Lu, do you want to go up and take a look?"
Gu Yanzhi said quietly, "You dare to go?"
A few people were strolling around the market, paying attention to nearby channels, and got some news.
For example, the owners of cotton-padded clothing stores, safe shops, inns, restaurants, and taverns are all locals, while the vendors at the market are NPCs or players who have come from afar.
Wherever there are indigenous people, there will be fraud and deception, and ordinary people dare not get involved.
Lu Xingchen thought for a moment and said, "Most of the people in the cotton-padded clothes shop, the safe shop, and the inn are from other places. However, there are still some locals in the restaurant. Only in these places can we get some information."
Taverns are where news gathers.
Lu Xingchen leaned on his white jade cane: "Let's go, don't be afraid, let's go up and take a look!"
The three of them went up to the second floor, and immediately a short man dressed as a waiter came up and asked with a smile, "Honorable guests, what would you like to eat?"
Lu Xingchen looked him over.
There are about thirty or forty tables on the second floor, all seating four people.
Now, there are only seven or eight empty tables, but there are still quite a few people.
Three people, including Xuanyuan Batian, were sitting by the window.
She could tell at a glance that, except for Xuanyuan Batian and his group, the rest were probably NPCs or indigenous people.
