Chapter 5045: A Mysterious.... Pickle jar

Fifty paces away from these old fishing boats, there is a tall and crisp mansion with the word "Houmen" engraved on the door.

At first glance, this mansion is no different from other buildings in the old port of Nantang, the same majestic and simple, but the other mansions are deserted and messy, but the Houmen is cleaned and full of life.

Everyone stepped forward with Lian Duel, and Lian Du knocked on the copper ring on the door, and in a moment, an old voice came from inside: "Who?"

"Excuse me, we're from the Dragon's Mouth. Lian Duel politely said, "You have a batch of darts here." ”

"Oh, that's it-" The door didn't open for a long time, and the old voice behind the door disappeared, and after a while, Mazi Face and the others were in a hurry, and the old voice came from behind the door: "You are wrong!"

The door was closed tightly, and there was a glimmer of light in the half-finger-wide crack of the door, and it seemed that the person in the door was peeking out with his eyes on it.

Hearing the old voice in the door saying that they had found the wrong thing, a group of dart masters who almost died for this dart trip immediately blew up, and the dancing arm shouted: "Hey, open the door and make it clear!"

Lian Duel turned around, swept away coldly, and everyone was silent.

It seems that Lian Duel executed the masked man in a cruel and strange way, which gave these five big and three rough dart masters a great shock.

Lian Duan said to Lei Shunyun: "Shunyun, let me ask what's going on, you can also go to the neighborhood and inquire again, and see if we have found the wrong person." ”

Lei Shunyun let out an "um" and walked quickly.

Lian Jue knew that the person behind the door had not left, so he said softly: "Uncle, we are not bad people, we are from the Longkou Dart Bureau, I heard that your house and the Longkou Dart Bureau also often have contacts. ”

"Hey, I said you found the wrong one, you just found the wrong one!" The old man behind the door really didn't leave, but he still refused to open the door, shouting: "What should we receive, what should we not receive, we haven't counted it in our hearts?

"Hey, you old man, let's not say if you are a regular customer we are looking for, just ask you to often collect goods from the Longkou Dart Bureau, and the Longkou Dart Bureau must also be your regular customers, right? What is the matter with you locking us out? Even if it is really wrong, why do you explain it to us!"

Even the determination laughed secretly, the old man at the door sounded a little cautious and pedantic, he didn't let the pockmarked face inquire just now, he just left him to sing red-faced.

Lian Du also hurriedly said: "Uncle, some of us are impatient, and it is really not good to be rejected by you so unexplained." You should recognize this thing, you open the door, I'll hand it to you, we have no bad intentions. ”

After a moment of silence, the voice in the door sighed and said, "I don't believe them, but listen to you, I believe you as a young man." ”

Saying that, the Hou Door really opened a little, Lian Du untied his own sound transmission jade silk, handed it over, and an old hand came out to pick it up, and the pockmarked face wanted to take the opportunity to break in, but was glared back by Lian Du.

Suddenly, a soft laugh came from the door, "You young man, you are very sincere, every time I receive goods from your Longkou Dart Bureau, I see them wearing this thing, and they are like treasures, this is the first time someone has handed it to me!"

As soon as the words were finished, the Hou door made a dull opening sound, and an old man with gray hair and a rat gray robe walked out of the door. ”

A group of dart masters followed the old man into the courtyard, sure enough, the courtyard is large, the door is a finely carved shadow wall, surrounded by quaint white-roofed blue walls, the ground is paved with neat green bricks, there is a faint broom print.

Even if it is an ordinary family, there are some water tanks and utensils in the yard, but in this yard, only a broom is placed against the wall.

The old man was dressed very plainly, and he could only be described as plain, he stroked his beard and said: "You are right, our Hou family does often have dealings with the dart board, but every dart we receive has been communicated in advance, and there has never been such a dart without prior preparation like today, so this dart is by no means for us." As for why this is so, it is really an old private matter, and it is inconvenient to disclose. ”

Lian Duan said lightly, and was thinking about it, when suddenly, Lei Shunyun's figure flashed into the door, entered Lian Duel's side, and whispered: "After inquiring around, everyone said that they had never seen a second dart collector in this place." ”

Although Shun Yun deliberately lowered his voice, he was a loud voice, and when he heard it, he was the first to refuse, and shouted: "This big brother, old man!

Even in the determination, in fact, there are already suspicions, this abnormal dart, a prepared masked man...... Lian had two bold guesses in his determination, one was that he wanted to assassinate his own person, and used Houmen as a shield, so as to secretly commit a black hand, and the other was that the person who assassinated himself was Houmen!

Lian Duel secretly looked at this old man several times, and he did not know this old man in his life, although he said that he could not judge people, but listening to his words and deeds, he really did not look like a vicious person.

Lian Du thought for a while, and said: "Uncle, this is our first time to bet on darts, if the darts can't be released, then we can only return in vain, since the dart collector is ambiguous, why don't you accept it? ”

The old man sighed heavily, and said, "Okay, maybe I'm too cautious, but I have a request, the dart should be checked in person, and if it is not appropriate, please bring it back." ”

"Okay! Thank you, uncle!" said Lian Duel dryly.

The pockmarked face was also sharp, and as soon as he bent down and divided five by two, he opened the dart box, and everyone looked inside, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, there was only one jar as gray as a pickle jar.

The old man was also quite surprised, he raised the jar and dusted it, the body of the jar made a very ordinary muffled sound, the old man shook his head and smiled: "Such a small thing, not only bothering you to trek here, but it is not worth the old man to return it, so the old man accepted it." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the reward was finally in their hands, and the reward of the dart masters was much more than that of this old man.

Lian Du stood still, and suddenly said, "Uncle, can I also check this jar?"
