Chapter 6, Mandatory Invitations
Chen Zhiyuan has now become a sweetheart in the eyes of these strangers in the inn, after all, not everyone is willing to help others step on thunder. However, after a few days, Chen Zhiyuan was blocked by the people of the Long Knife Gang one morning.
"You are Chen Zhiyuan, the second child of the Ping An Inn that ran into the valley that day?"
A big man who spoke in an urn stood in front of Chen Zhiyuan, his height was a head taller than Chen Zhiyuan, and when he stood with an iron tower-like body, Chen Zhiyuan could only shrink in his shadow.
When Chen Zhiyuan nodded, the big man grabbed Chen Zhiyuan's arm with his big hand, and said while pulling him out, "Our helper has something to ask you, don't work in the store today, someone surnamed Jiang will naturally talk about it." didn't wait for Chen Zhiyuan to agree, he was dragged out.
The guests in the inn naturally didn't know what was going on, but that was the person they were looking for, and if it was gone, who else would they ask for news?
But it is impossible to save, and now I don't know what happened, everyone followed from a distance, to see where the big man who suddenly came to arrest people was going.
Soon arrived at the territory of the Long Knife Gang, Chen Zhiyuan pulled in, and those who followed behind did not break in, and watched from a distance across the street.
Sitting on the main seat was naturally Luo Li, the leader of the Long Knife Gang, and the thugs standing on both sides were all his thugs, all of them standing there with their waists crossed, looking full of momentum.
"You're the kid who ran into the valley that day?"
The leader of the Long Knife Gang glanced at Chen Zhiyuan and asked slowly, "What, did you find anything inside?"
Chen Zhiyuan didn't know what was going on, but he chose to answer honestly for the sake of his life, although he said that the Long Knife Gang hadn't done anything bad over the years, but maybe he was going to do something bad next.
"I didn't find anything, except for stones and grass, and there were some places that had been destroyed. ”
The leader of the Long Knife Gang touched the beard on his chin and asked, "Then why did you go in? Who told you to go? Don't tell me that you want to go by yourself, I don't believe that you are an ordinary person with these thoughts." ”
This asked Chen Zhiyuan, it was indeed that he wanted to go that day without being instructed, how could he guarantee that his news was true without taking a look, and how could he accept the money with peace of mind without taking a look? After a moment's hesitation, Chen Zhiyuan still chose to answer honestly.
"I did go on my own that day, and no one instructed me. ”
Looking at the increasingly dangerous eyes of the leader of the Long Knife Gang, Chen Zhiyuan hurriedly made up for it.
"I think so many people ask me every day, and some give me money, so I can't make up fake news to deceive people, otherwise what if they beat me up when they come back?
Silence, silence for a long time, Chen Zhiyuan's cold sweat broke out, and the leader of the Long Knife Gang finally waved his hand and said: "Go back, don't get involved in this matter next, these people are all here for the things of cultivators, and ordinary people will not end well if they interfere." It's all in the same town, and I don't cheat on our own family. After speaking, someone grabbed Chen Zhiyuan's shoulders, picked him up, and walked out.
Chen Zhiyuan finally returned to the inn safely, but he was followed by a large group of people, and after he came back, he surrounded him again, nothing more than asking who the person who took him away just now, what he was doing there for, and what he said.
I didn't know what it was before, but now I know that I can't mix it up, and Chen Zhiyuan doesn't want to force this kick. After dealing with this group of people, Chen Zhiyuan decided to ask the shopkeeper for a leave, go back to the countryside to stay with his father and mother for a while, and then come back when these people are gone.
Shopkeeper Jiang was naturally reluctant to let Chen Zhiyuan go when the business was so good, but Chen Zhiyuan had already made up his mind, and Shopkeeper Jiang could only pay him and let him leave.
Carrying a bag of fried peanuts and walking on the way home, Chen Zhiyuan seemed to have unloaded his burden, and his heart was very relaxed. Anyway, he was still just an eighteen-year-old young man, and he couldn't afford to get involved in these things, and he didn't have any fixed property or family in the town, so he naturally left if he wanted to.
But sometimes it's just a matter of not fulfilling one's wishes, and when you want to leave, things often come to your door.
There was still some distance from the entrance of the village, Chen Zhiyuan had just turned a corner, and he bumped into a person, a familiar person, the one wearing a hat and a cloak.
The hat-taker pressed one hand on Chen Zhiyuan's shoulder, and Chen Zhiyuan only felt a great force pressing on his body, and he couldn't move at all.
"Where are you going?" The hat covered the face of the visitor, Chen Zhiyuan couldn't tell what expression he was talking with, but the person pressed himself with one hand, and he didn't dare to run.
"Go home, Gang Master Luo said that this is your business, and I can't be mixed with an ordinary person, so I thought about going home and forgetting it, so I can't get involved. ”
"Gang Leader Luo, is that the leader of the person who took you away?" Looking at Chen Zhiyuan and nodded, the hat man continued, "I don't care what you do, what about the cave in the west that you told me about last time? Take us to see it." ”
When Chen Zhiyuan heard this "we", he knew that he was definitely not alone, this was organized and ganged, and he was bound to be unable to run, although even if there was only one person, he would not be able to run by himself.
"But I don't know where the location is, and I've heard from others. Chen Zhiyuan was very helpless, there was a hole in the west that was blown up or he heard from the old student, and later he heard that it was filled in, there was no head and tail, where did he find it?
"Then I don't care, the words came out of your mouth, then I can only ask you. The hat man seemed to be making it clear that he was going to pull Chen Zhiyuan hard, "I won't bully you, you take this pill, and you will be regarded as a person from our side in the future, just take care of it." ”
Without waiting for Chen Zhiyuan to agree, the hat man took out a fishy pill out of nowhere and stuffed it into Chen Zhiyuan's mouth, pinched it with his hand, and slapped it again, Chen Zhiyuan swallowed it uncontrollably.
I saw that the hate-man pinched a mark in his hand that Chen Zhiyuan couldn't understand, Chen Zhiyuan felt itchy all over his body, and even more serious things, even if it was itchy, Chen Zhiyuan could clearly feel that his strength was slowly draining, and in the end, his whole body became soft.
The hatper carried Chen Zhiyuan, whose whole body had become soft, nodded with satisfaction, and removed the handprint with the other hand, and Chen Zhiyuan could feel that his strength was slowly coming back.
"You don't have to worry too much, this medicine only works for a while, to ensure that you can follow us with all your heart during this time, and when the matter is over, it will naturally give you the antidote. The hatsman let go of the hand holding Chen Zhiyuan and patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction.
Chen Zhiyuan smiled bitterly, is he on the thief ship? But it's okay, it's just that he has been controlled by others for a while, I hope he still talks about it, otherwise what else can he do? After thinking about it, Chen Zhiyuan said: "Since I have already joined you, then at least I have to have a title, otherwise what should I call you when the time comes?"
The hat man was silent for a moment, and then said: "This is simple, in the next period of time, you will call me the eldest brother, the one with the knife over there, you will be called the second brother, and the one with a stick will be called the third brother, and the last one is not here for the time being, but he is playing with whips, you can call him the fourth brother." ”
With the sound of the hat-man, two more people dressed exactly like each other came out of the nearby place that was hidden by the tree, and sure enough, as he said, one with a knife and the other with a stick.
Silently noting down the characteristics of these people and how they should be called, Chen Zhiyuan nodded, and told the hat-taker that he had written it down.
"Then let's go, sooner rather than later, if you find it a day earlier, you can get something earlier than others. Which way do you go now?"
With the question of the big brother in front of him, the remaining second and third brothers also looked at Chen Zhiyuan, Chen Zhiyuan just wanted to raise his hand and say what to do with the peanuts in his hand, but he was taken away by the big brother of the hat man, and then the magic was gone.
"Let's go, don't be stunned, isn't it just a bag of peanuts, the thing is done, you can pay back a hundred bags. ”
