Chapter 82: The Unknown Town
Sheriff Stabler didn't say much about what "Miss Karina" said. He just glanced at the still red stove mouth, seemed to think of something, and responded:
"Miss Karina, it seems that this stove is indeed not suitable for use."
As he said, he looked in the direction of the backyard:
"In this weather, the stove outside can't be used, but there are no other stoves in the town, only the stove."
As he said, he smiled and looked at the fireplace in the living room:
"Of course, if you don't mind, baking some bread in the fireplace is also a feasible solution."
After the obvious joke, the sheriff's face returned to its original serious state:
"To avoid danger, I think Miss Karina can choose to have dinner at Old Black's place today."
Finally, he added:
"Remember, Miss Karina, if William and Little Mosenke come back, remember to notify me, the missing case is not easy to handle, so, good night, Miss Karina."
After that, he turned and walked out of the kitchen.
"Of course, Mr. Sheriff, thank you for your concern. When William and Mosenke come back, I will ask them to find you."
As he said, Yao Yan followed him out of the kitchen and stood in front of the kitchen. He watched the sheriff stare at the position of Mosenke's room while walking and looking for a while, then walked to the front door, opened and closed the door, and completely disappeared from Yao Yan's sight.
He did not need to deliberately guide her. Obviously, the sheriff here had some knowledge of the fact that her brother Mosenke had a gangster background.
If it was not that the sheriff had a wide range of interpersonal relationships and could cross the distance of several cities in this era to understand Mosenke's gangster background, it was that the sheriff had some knowledge of the gangs, and Mosenke had many habits of gang members.
Or. This flintlock pistol, Mosenke used it in this town and was suspected by the sheriff.
Which possibility it was, Yao Yan could only put it aside for the time being.
His eyes moved with Karina's head, looking for burn marks that might exist somewhere in the light of the lantern.
However, no relevant traces were found in the kitchen.
Shooting and sharp weapons are ineffective?
Or are they ineffective?
Or maybe it didn't leave by itself, but took something else with it?
Picking up the lantern, Yao Yan glanced at the stove mouth with a fading red light, walked out of the kitchen, and began to look for the burnt traces throughout the house. He even left the house and searched in the backyard and in front of the house with an umbrella, but still couldn't find it.
Such a result made Yao Yan have to be more vigilant, and there was no other way for the time being.
As for using his own abilities?
Again, if you don't confirm whether the ability can only be used once, you can't use it casually.
After taking some dry black bread from the cupboard to fill his stomach, Yao Yan walked to the bedroom.
Although he didn't need sleep, this body that obviously sent him a lot of tired signals was obviously unable to hold on.
The next day.
Yao Yan's night of vigilance through the senses of the three crows did not yield any results.
After a simple wash with simple tools, he went to the town.
There was obviously a lot of information in that room, but without other breakthroughs, it was impossible to understand what the information represented and pointed to. Going to the town to obtain other information was inevitable.
Holding an umbrella, in the light rain that had weakened a lot, with Karina's figure, Yao Yan came to the town.
As the only carpenter in the town, William's house was a distance away from the main building in the town, but not too far, just not around the main road.
At least, the sheriff's patrol route at night, the closest position, was only about 200 meters away from William's home.
The town was not big, with only more than 30 households in total.
It was just the population of a small village.
But it was not surprising. The atmosphere, architecture and appearance style of this town were obviously the "Europe" he was familiar with during his lifetime.
In Europe, there is no such setting as "village".
The lowest is "town".
This town can be said to be just a village.
Standing on the main road, Yao Yan turned his eyes to the surroundings.
Karina's shadow fell almost vertically at her feet.
It was clearly morning, not noon.
Frowning slightly, Yao Yan looked elsewhere.
Just as Karina remembered, there was a small river in the middle of the town, dividing it into two sides.
Thinking back to this, Yao Yan walked directly to the river.
The river was not very wide, only about three meters wide, with several small bridges on it, two stone bridges and one wooden bridge.
The wooden bridge was obviously relatively new, and it was vaguely estimated that it was built less than a year ago.
Yao Yan's sight roughly traced along the river to the source, and his sight was fixed on the mountain scenery in the distance that was blurred by the rain.
The source of this river should be on the mountain, a mountain spring.
Relying on his geographical knowledge, which he should have remembered correctly, he tried to determine the direction.
A lot of knowledge originates from the understanding and judgment of nature.
For example, direction judgment.
If the worldview of this world is still in the solar system, on the earth, then, in the northern and southern hemispheres, due to the Coriolis force, there will be different erosion effects on the two sides of the river. Ideally, an east-west river, with the same geology on both sides, will form a curved trajectory to the south or north over a long period of time.
However.
The river in his sight is almost straight.
Both sides are also soil, not a concrete dam.
Thinking of this, he looked at the shadow under Karina's feet again.
It still fell straight at her feet.
After checking the trees by the river, there was no one side that was particularly lush, and the leaves were mostly facing a certain direction.
Raising his head, Yao Yan glanced at the sky.
Although it was just a light rain, there were still thick clouds piled up above the sky, and the light source celestial body could not be seen.
The unfriendly answer made Yao Yan turn his sight back.
He did not stay by the river anymore, and his sight turned to the other side of the river.
On the other side of the river, there were only a few buildings, and the most eye-catching one was naturally the tall building that looked like a castle.
The residence of the nobles.
However, it was now deserted.
On the stone castle, there were faint patches of green spreading, which seemed to be vines or something like that.
Seeing this scene, Yao Yan did not immediately head towards the castle. After letting the crow in his coat hide his body to avoid being discovered, he turned and walked towards the bar.
Intelligence is a must.
However, at this moment, a figure appeared in Yao Yan's field of vision. Seeing Karina, the man smiled and walked towards her quickly.
