    Ke Xun, Wei Dong, Cao Youning, Fang Fei, Luo Ling and Xinchun, five people and one dog came to the shops and markets downstairs.

    Ke Xun simply divides everyone into two groups: "Fang Fei, Dongzi, Cao Youning, you just go around the market here, turnip and I go to the store over there, and we will gather here in about an hour."

    Cao Youning: "There is no time on the phone, how can I judge it for an hour," he said and looked around. "Why doesn't this big square even have a clock."

    Time is indeed an issue, Fang Fei said: "Each team will ask as soon as possible. The team that completes the task first will wait here."

    "All right." Wei Dong looked around, "It can only be done like this. By the way, let's buy lunch by the way, it should be noon."

    There are lights all around, and there is a gray fog outside the window. It is impossible to judge the direction of the sun and the approximate time.

    Cao Youning nodded immediately: "Buy lunch, I'm already hungry!"

    Everyone is a little hungry, and now we can only judge the time by the degree of digestion in the stomach, which is more primitive than primitive people.

    After grouping, Ke Xun and Luo Ling walked to that row of shops.

    "Brother, did you bring money?" Luo Ling followed Ke Xun, and Xin Chun followed behind like a tail.

    "I took some money from the package," Ke Xun touched his money bag. "The currency here should be universal. The bill shows that I spent some money on Lantern Travel."

    "Bills?! Brother, do you still have the habit of keeping accounts?" Luo Ling was surprised, feeling that this habit was completely inconsistent with Ke Xun's personality.

    "I never keep accounts, but there is a simple record of the bill in my wallet, and it is in my handwriting." Ke Xun always did not understand this, and he planned to go back and said to Mu Yiran, "You will also Study the contents of your package carefully. I feel that the painting does not fully understand the habits of each of us."

    They talked and walked. There should be a tailor shop in front of them. There should be nothing they want to buy, but Ke Xun still went in and asked: Boss, where can I sell magnifying glasses?

    "The caravans of the Guangming Brigade will sell those rare goods." The old tailor lowered his head to sew the clothes, and then looked up at Ke Xun for a long time before taking off his glasses. "This is bought from the merchants of those caravans. of."

    Ke Xun himself belongs to the Bright Traveling Caravan. Unfortunately, his caravan only sells spices: "Master, when will those caravans selling magnifying glasses come? Is it possible for our shop here to buy from them?"

    After the old tailor took off his glasses, his eyes were a bit sunken, and there were obvious dark brown dark circles. At this time, these eyes stared at Ke Xun, without blinking, his voice was particularly gloomy: "When? You said When. Are you going to commit a bogey? You commit a bogey. You commit a bogey."

    Ke Xun didn't know which of his words ‘broke a taboo’, and at this time, the old tailor who was approaching step by step made him take two steps back.

    Luo Ling was frightened by the side long ago, but Xinchun acted as a protector, "Uuuu..." several times.

    The old tailor seemed to be awakened by the sound of a dog. He took a breath, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and put on his glasses again: "Oh, boy, what did you just say?"

    Ke Xun: I dare not say it anymore, I don't know which sentence is offended...

    The old tailor thought for a moment: "Oh, look at my memory, you mean magnifying glass, right? Some shops of our Lantern Travel will buy goods from business travelers. There is a toy store in front that seems to have magnifying glass, binoculars, etc. , You go try your luck."

    "Okay, thank you." Ke Xun and Luo Ling thanked them again and again, and hurried out.

    "My goodness, brother, I was scared to death just now." Luo Ling's legs were soft.

    Ke Xun was also taken aback just now, but quickly calmed down: "You said, which sentence did I make a bogey just now? Was it the Bright Brigade? However, the words Bright Brigade were clearly said by himself first. ."

    After all, Luo Ling had only experienced one painting, and at this time he still had lingering fears: "I remembered the old NPCs Dong Ge told me about. There was an old man with a repeater who was said to have almost swallowed you, and another in a red vest. There is an old man in the mail room, and an old radio man. He hasn't shown up, only an old voice: Don't pollute the color! I rely on this.

    Ke Xun: That doesn't seem to be an old man...

    Luo Ling: "I can be considered a person who has experienced old NPC..."

    Ke Xun was a little relieved. The sudden mechanization of the NPC made people feel that this painting was not impeccable as imagined. At least it made everyone understand the taboos of this world, which is not far from mastering the rules.

    After passing several shops, I saw a toy store, but the store door was tightly closed.

    The two had to ask their neighbors-a mutton pie seller: "Boss, the toy store next to it is closed?"

    Lamb pie owner: "I just closed the shop and went back to sleep."

    Luo Ling looked at the sparkling candlelight around him: "Go back to sleep?"

    The lamb shop owner disapproved: "If you are sleepy, go to sleep."

    Ke Xun suddenly realized that a shop next to him was also about to close, and felt something wrong: "Why are you closing?"

    "Close the door when you want to go to bed. We don't stipulate that the door must be kept open." The owner of the mutton shop found that the two did not intend to buy mutton patties, and was a little unhappy.

    Ke Xun looked at the big mutton patties that the boss was baking. There were many layers. The grilled minced mutton was fresh and topped with pepper tempeh. The taste was very attractive.

    "Why don't we come here at noon?" Ke Xun said.

    Luo Ling was hungry a long time ago, and the scent of mutton pie is too tempting: "Okay, just this! I have never seen such a large mutton pie!"

    "Our Gulouzi is the famous food of the four brigade! Everyone who comes to the lantern brigade will taste it!" The boss quickly became enthusiastic again. "This big sheet is enough for three men. How much do you two want, I will give you cut!"

    Ke Xun settled the bill: "Four first."

    "Okay!!" The boss's voice was loud, and he didn't expect to meet such a big customer.

    Ke Xun further smiled and said: "We are very casual when we open a store here. If you say you are sleepy, you will be sleepy, and you will be closed when you say it is closed. If we come to you next time to buy, can you buy it?"

    After pondering all the way, Ke Xun seemed to vaguely understand what that ‘taboo’ was.

    Luo Ling also hurriedly said, "Yes, boss, if it is delicious, let's have dinner..."

    Ke Xun slapped Luo Ling vigorously, making him shut up immediately. At this moment, he smiled and said, "If it is delicious, we will eat your cakes every day!"

    The boss was very happy when he heard this: "Don’t worry, our shop will only close when the lights are off. As long as the lights are turned on, the shop will be opened immediately! The shop opened by my brother and I can’t make cakes in shifts. So tired."

    The owner is very agile. He has cut out four large mutton patties with a knife. They are golden in color and filled with meat, which looks very delicious.

    Ke Xun thought for a while, then asked carefully: "We are here for the first time, is it about to turn off the lights by now?"

    The boss stopped his hand, holding the knife in his right hand, and holding the cake on the case with his left hand, his face was filled with confusion, as if he had lost his memory.

    Luo Ling shuddered and pulled Ke Xun back a few steps, afraid that the NPC would suddenly run away.

    About half a minute later, the boss seemed to come back to his senses: "Look at me, what is it? Gulouzi will not taste good when it is cold! Hurry up and pretend it!"

    Ke Xun didn't say any more. He took the big paper bag of mutton patties handed over by the boss, paid for it, and asked, "By the way, where can I sell magnifying glasses?"

    The boss thought for a while: "There is a toy store next to it. If there are dealers from the Guangming Brigade at the market, you may be able to buy it!" The boss said, he looked at the cotton robe on Ke Xun, "You are the Guangming Brigade. Come on, you never lack those rare things in your hands."

    Ke Xun smiled and said, "It may be that I can't find it where I left it. I will look for it when I go back."

    Luo Ling followed Ke Xun out of the store: "Oh my God, we made a mistake again, and the boss almost..."

    "It's time." Ke Xun whispered, the surroundings were relatively quiet at this time and there were not too many people.

    "time?"

    "Yes, the first time I committed a taboo was because I asked,'When will the caravan selling magnifying glass come?' This is a relatively clear point in time. The old tailor later emphasized the repetition of the four words'when'; The second time I almost made a bogey, it was because I asked, "Is the light going out now?" This is another point in time, but maybe I asked more casually, so it did not cause a strong reaction from the NPC." Ke Xun said to himself The analysis speaks out.

    Luo Ling thinks about it carefully and thinks it makes sense: "However, people inevitably talk about the time in their daily speech, such as'what time is it?''when are you coming?','is the light almost out? ,','Go to sleep as you say, when are you Jio when you sleep'..."

    "So, we'd better avoid talking to NPCs, and when we have to say something, we must also pay attention to taboos." Ke Xun did not expect that this world is so complicated, and there are so many taboos to communicate with NPCs.

    When the two returned to the meeting place, Wei Dong was already waiting there.

    Cao Youning ran over with joy: "Did you buy something delicious?!"

    Luo Ling: "You are more greedy than me. I was jumping three times and I thought you bought a magnifying glass."

    Cao Youning rubbed his hands excitedly when he saw the mutton pie, and complained to Luo Ling: "There is nothing to buy in the market, it's all needles, pigs, sheep, dogs and rabbits."

    "Why are you still a pig, sheep, dog, rabbit?"

    "Yes, there are people who sell live animals," Cao Youning nodded. "Those sheep bleating are so annoying!" Then he looked at the mutton pie in Ke Xun's hand. It seemed that eating mutton pie was for revenge.

    Wei Dong, who was waiting there, took the conversation: "Except for pigs and sheep, no other animals bark."

    "Other? What else?" Luo Ling asked.

    "rabbit."

    "The rabbit didn't scream, right?"

    "Dogs are dumb like Xinchun." Wei Dong said.

    Fang Fei also said, "There are also chickens. Those roosters don't seem to crow."

    Luo Ling: Could it be Oye, the fighting chicken in the legendary egg-laying rooster?

    Wei Dong spread out his hands: "We thought it was rare and we asked. The boss said that the chicken is called that way, coo, coo, and the rooster calls that way. If you ask too much, the boss is anxious and almost ran away on the spot."
