According to the old man last night, the location of Jiangling County is actually not far from them, so I just go down the southeast along the road.

After Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran dried their luggage, they packed up again, so they rode their horses in the direction the old man said. Until the afternoon, a small county town caught their eyes.

As soon as the two entered the city, they first found an inn and prepared everything before they walked out of the door.

The old man couldn't explain the rewards from the Zhao family last night, so Lin Chen wouldn't have come to Jiangling County directly after he arrived. He planned to find out some news first, at least... he had to understand the whole story. Although he was here to try his luck at this moment, what if... what if?

"Let's go!"

Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran walked out of the inn, walking slowly on the street, while looking around at the scenery of Jiangling County.

Although Jiangling County is just a small county town, because it is close to Jingzhou City, many merchants and tourists pass by it, so it is more prosperous than some ordinary county towns.

While walking, Lin Chen suddenly stopped in front of a fan stall because he was hungry.

Although they also bought some dry food such as bread, after Lin Chen rolled in the stream, the bread was soaked, so they simply abandoned it and calculated the time. At this day, except for a few bites of bread at random for breakfast, they had not eaten lunch and dinner.

So, Lin Chen sat down in the noodle stall and said, "Boss, come two bowls of noodles."

"Okay!" The owner of the noodles stall responded immediately, and then quickly boiled the noodles.

Li Xiaoran also sat down, and he smiled and said, "Second brother, I said you are Taotie, you are not convinced. Hehe, I came out and found out the news. You just left the door and sat in this fan stall as soon as you turned the corner. Could it be... Can you still use your stomach to find out the news?"

Lin Chen took out two tiled cups from the wooden plate in the middle of the table, poured a cup of tea for himself and Li Xiaoran, and took a sip, feeling the faint bitterness in the tea melting in his mouth. Then he said leisurely: "You don't understand this, right? What the people in the market like most is when they are resting, sitting in the porridge shop on the street, eating in the noodles stall while talking about all kinds of strange things, strange things, and new things. I have walked all the way from Guanzhong before.

When I come, I like to sit on the street and order a bowl of vermicelli, tofu, and so on, and then sit and listen to them say these things. Although most of them are just laughing at the sky and the earth, and don’t take it seriously, I have also heard a lot of interesting stories! So... If you want to ask about rumors and rumors, you don’t need to ask anything specifically. Just like we are now, you can just sit down at a roadside stall, order something, eat and listen to it."

"That's it..." Li Xiaoran nodded thoughtfully. Although he traveled all the way from Xiangchu to Jingchu, he had never sat in a roadside stall, so he didn't notice that there was such a thing.

Lin Chen ignored Li Xiaoran's expression because the two bowls of flour he ordered had been brought over by the boss of the flour stall.

"Please use it slowly, two guests!"

Lin Chen took a bowl and put it in front of him. When he smelled it, he felt a special fragrance coming to his nose. He then used chopsticks to pick up a piece of lotus root slices.

"The way to make this vermicelli is strange, but this is the first time I have eaten the powder cooked with lotus root soup..." Lin Chen smiled and put the lotus root slices into his mouth.

The lotus root slices have been cooked to taste, but when chewed, they are not as soft as the lotus root in ordinary lotus root soup, nor are they as crispy as they are eaten directly after peeling and washing. Instead, they do not melt in the mouth. However, they bite them slightly hard and will immediately rot. At the same time, the soup that tastes into the lotus root slices also disperse at this moment, which is a perfect and indescribable feeling.

Soon, Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran were eating vermicelli, and a few people came to the empty table next to them. They sat down carelessly. After each of them ordered a bowl of vermicelli, they started to talk.

I saw one of them took a cup of tea, took a big sip, wiped his mouth casually, and then said, "Hey, have you heard of it? That Zhao Master Zhao's condition has worsened again!"

After hearing what he said, Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran, who were burying their heads to eat noodles, both moved and their ears stood up.

"Oh? How do you say this?" When the person sitting at his table heard it, he became interested and asked quickly. The person who spoke first whispered: "I tell you, but you should not spread it everywhere!"

"This is natural..." When someone heard this, he immediately patted his chest and promised, saying, "A few brothers, can you still believe it? Are we so big-mouthed people?"

The first person who spoke put down the teacup and said mysteriously: "I believe that brothers all know that Mr. Zhao, who lives in Yufu Lane, suddenly fell seriously ill two months ago and is still bedridden?"

"I will naturally know about this..." The person sitting next to him nodded and urged: "Oh, don't keep me from being stolen by my mother-in-law. If there is anything new, hurry up and say let me hear it with our brothers!"

The man took a big mouthful of tea again, looked around, and then he whispered mysteriously: "Isn't the Zhao family offering a reward recently? If it is cured, you will give 300 taels of silver. If it is not cured, you can find the cause of the disease, and you will also give 50 taels! One of my relatives has worked in a medicine shop before, which travels across the country and the south. My relatives have also gone out to see a lot of worldly affairs. When he heard about the rewards from the Zhao family, he also went to join in the fun. What do you think?"

"What's wrong?" After hearing what he said, the person sitting at that table suddenly became curious.

The man smiled mysteriously again, and then said in a low voice: "I heard from my relative that Mr. Zhao was lying on the bed with a rosy complexion. What else was there? I didn't understand what he said. I just knew that Mr. Zhao looked completely sick. Other doctors said that Mr. Zhao had been in bed for two months... I guess... Mr. Zhao was really entangled with something unclean! Otherwise, if he had been alone in the bed for so long and hired so many doctors, why didn't anyone find out the cause of the disease?"

On the other side, Lin Chen finished eating the noodles and drinking the soup, put down the bowl, and shouted: "Boss, check out!"
