Xia Sheng and his group were lucky.

Or, at least from now on, the prince's hand has not yet reached into Heishui Town.

Neither anyone conducted too strict inspections at the city gate nor searched everywhere in the city with portraits of Xia Sheng.

The carriage drove into Heishui Town smoothly without any accidents or anyone's attention.

But Ko Ningzheng discovered something very strange.

"Regularly speaking, Heishui Town is just a very ordinary town, neither a trade center nor a border port. There is no scarce mineral resources here, and it has never been rich in some kind of spirit beasts. Why does so many foreign populations appear?"

Qin Yan took off the curtains with one hand, looked at the pedestrians passing by on the road, and said in a sceptical voice: "How do you know that they are not locals?"

Ning Zheng shook his head: "The reason why Heishui Town is called Heishui Town is because there is a magnificent Heishui River next to the town. As the saying goes, rely on the mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water. Therefore, almost all the residents in this Heishui Town make a living by fishing all year round. But look at these people, how do they look like fishermen?"

Qin Yan raised her eyebrows slightly and was about to continue asking something, but she saw Xia Sheng wave his hand.

"No matter what these people come to do, it has nothing to do with us. Don't cause too much trouble. We will leave early tomorrow morning."

As he was talking, the young man in charge of driving the car ran back from a distance and said to Xia Sheng: "Mr. Xia, there is an inn in front of him and two rooms. Look..."

Xia Sheng nodded and said, "We have to come down first. At worst, I will find somewhere to live after you guys have settled. If it really doesn't work, we guys will not be a big deal."

"Okay."

The young man ran away again in a hurry, but Qin Yan immediately reacted and said in surprise: "You won't let me live with her tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Qi also muttered softly: "I don't want to live with you yet."

Xia Sheng could only say helplessly: "When you go out, you can't pay so much attention. If you can find more rooms in other inns later, it is naturally the best. However, looking at the situation today, I'm afraid it's not very optimistic..."

As he said that, Xia Sheng couldn't help but look at the foreigners coming and going on the street and frowned slightly.

Soon, Qin Yan, Meng Qi, Kang Wuwei, and the young man were the first to live in Changshui Inn. Well, of course, there was Dandan.

Although Kang Wuwei got out of the car by himself, his eyes were still dull and his expression was a little bit dumb, like a soulless puppet.

Xia Sheng arranged for a young man to take care of Kang Wuwei. As for whether Qin Yan and Meng Qi would demolish the entire inn because they couldn't stand each other, it was not within his consideration.

Xia Sheng and Ning Zheng left Changshui Inn and were about to find another place to stay, but they had no choice but to find that this was a difficult task to complete.

As Ning Zheng said before, Heishui Town was originally just an unknown town. There were only two inns in the town, and the other one was full. Apart from that, their only choice was to stay in the flower building.

For Xia Sheng, this was not a good idea, because he was very doubtful whether Qin Yan would pay for it.

However, Ning Zheng proposed a new solution, which was to stay at the home of local fishermen for one night.

Of course, Ning Zheng's plan was that he and the young man lived outside, while Xia Sheng and Kang Wuwei lived in the inn.

Xia Sheng had no objection to such an arrangement.

So the two changed their strategies and began to look for local fishermen in the town to inquire about the situation.

I never thought that this was not a rare thing for the residents of Heishui Town. Many foreigners had already asked about it before Ning Zheng and Xia Sheng.

At the beginning, the fishermen in the town were a little wary and were not willing to live in so many strangers in their homes, but this situation changed quickly. The reason was very simple. Those outsiders were willing to give money.

Although the money given is not as high as the travel expenses of staying in the inn, it is indeed an extra income for the fishermen.

So in less than five days, almost the entire Heishui Town was crowded with foreigners.

Upon hearing this, Xia Sheng felt mixed joy and sorrow.

What I am happy is that I can find a place to live. If Qin Yan and Meng Qi are really incompatible, it would be better to separate them.

But at the same time, he felt a little worried.

It seems that the situation of a large number of foreigners pouring into this Heishui Town is much more serious than what he and Ning Zheng expected!

Although he couldn't think of the reason for the time being, Xia Sheng felt something was wrong in the dark.

If something goes wrong, there will be a demon.

"Uncle Li, when did the situation you mentioned happen?"

Mr. Li, who was responsible for providing accommodation for Xia Sheng and Ning Zheng, thought for a while and replied: "It seems that it happened more than a week ago."

Xia Sheng continued to ask, "At that time, did anything major happen in the town?"

"No..." Old Man Li shook his head: "So this is strange. In our Heishui Town, in the past, there are very few people who come to collect fish and those who are passing by. I don't know what's wrong, but it suddenly becomes lively."

Xia Sheng nodded, secretly remembered the matter in his heart, and gave a wink at Ning Zheng.

Seeing this, Ning Zheng couldn't help but slow down a little, walked to Xia Sheng, and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you say, don't you cause more trouble?"

Xia Sheng's eyes were slightly darker and he said, "I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy. You can go to the town to find out about others. I'll just follow Uncle Li to see the house alone."

Ning Zheng could only nod: "Yes."

After a while, Xia Sheng followed Mr. Li to a private house east of Heishui Town. He did not walk far and entered a spacious yard.

There are fishing nets in the middle of the yard, and some pickled carp hanging on the bamboo pole next to it, swaying gently in the wind.

Xia Sheng was not the first foreign guest to Mr. Li's house. At least he saw five people, four men and one woman. No matter how they looked, they were not locals.

Among the four men, two of them were about 60 or 70 years old, and the other three seemed to be a family. The little boy was sitting on the ground playing with mud, while the couple stood aside talking and laughing, setting up a stove in the yard, as if cooking fish soup.

At the same time when Xia Sheng walked into the yard, the five people raised their heads and looked at him, mostly curious and with some natural vigilance.

Xia Sheng stared at the little boy who was playing with mud and slowly narrowed his eyes.
