After a moment of silence, he said, "Alright, let’s finish our business quickly tomorrow and leave this place early."
As soon as Lu An finished speaking, the old man slowly got up and left. Once he was gone, only Lin Feng and Lu An remained in the room.
Lu An was about to say something when he suddenly heard a crisp sound; it was Lin Feng gently tapping him on the shoulder, reminding him, "I told you to call me Brother. Don't expose my identity."
Lu An was taken aback for a moment, then quickly smiled and replied, "Ah, Brother."
"You heard it too; it seems that this situation exists in the surrounding areas," he added.
Lin Feng nodded gravely in agreement. "Yes, indeed. Once we enter the city tomorrow, we need to gather more information."
After a long and quiet night, the next morning, gentle sunlight poured down on the earth, as if draping everything in a layer of golden silk.
Lu An and Lin Feng got up early. After packing their belongings simply, they each shouldered their heavy bags and began their determined march towards Linbo County.
The distance from where they were to Linbo County was not short if they were to walk. It was estimated that it would take at least over an hour to reach their destination.
Along the way, the two remained silent, focusing intently on their journey.
When they were only a short distance from the county town, the previously calm atmosphere was suddenly disrupted by some rustling in the bushes by the roadside.
Lu An's heart tightened as he instantly heightened his alertness. Without hesitation, he stepped aside to shield Lin Feng behind him and quickly drew out his Sharp Dagger from his waist.
Just then, with a whoosh, a plump wild rabbit suddenly leaped out from the bushes.
Seeing this scene, both of them were momentarily stunned before exchanging glances and breaking into relaxed smiles.
Upon entering the county town, they found that it was quite different from the bustling scene they had imagined. The streets were sparsely populated and felt somewhat desolate. Many shop doors were closed.
However, this lack of noise made it easier for them to carry out their plans. So they didn’t linger too long and headed straight for a teahouse.
Though this teahouse appeared small, there were still a few customers inside.
For those seeking information, this was undoubtedly the most suitable place.
Upon entering the teahouse, they chose a relatively secluded corner to sit down and ordered two bowls of steaming tea from the shopkeeper. Lu An began to inquire about the surrounding situation, but the shopkeeper was evasive and reluctant to speak plainly.
At that moment, an elderly man standing nearby, his face weathered and hair graying, furrowed his brow slightly. He let out a soft sigh and said gravely, "Young people, you should not press further! The more you know about what happens here, the worse it may be for you."
Hearing this, Lin Feng quickly picked up a delicate teacup from the table, carefully filled it with hot fragrant tea, and respectfully handed it to the old man. With sincerity and humility, he said, "Sir, please don’t misunderstand. We’ve only just arrived and are unfamiliar with this place, so it’s natural for us to feel a bit curious. If there are indeed any difficulties or troubles here, perhaps we could lend a small hand."
