Chapter 289: What did my brother say
After dealing with He Niu'er and beating the sticky beetle again, the world finally quieted down. net
Su Mo fell on the couch, and suddenly felt an indescribable relaxation. In the past few days, it can be said that since he was captured by the old monk Jiaman, it has not been truly peaceful until today.
The old monk was able to chase after him all the time, and Su Mo probably guessed that it was the reason for the Asura Stone on his body. Now, as the stone has completely dissolved into the body, the feeling of horror in my heart has completely disappeared.
Next, it's a matter of cheating, uh, making a sum of money, and hurrying out of the customs to join the envoys.
The experience since this period of time can be regarded as a complete awakening of Su Mo. The naΓ―ve idea of having a happy birthday with a stuffy head is no longer there, there is a gift to gain, and if you want to reap, you must pay first! An birthday can be had, but the premise is to accumulate enough strength, at least to deter those ghosts, and dare not easily bare your teeth at yourself.
Thinking about his current strength, he seems to be strong on the face, and there are three national dukes standing behind him, but in fact, except for the British duke who is really willing to contribute, the other two can only beat the side drum from the side at the right time.
After getting acquainted with others such as Xie Duo, Mao Ji, and Kong Wenshao, Su Mo didn't have any thoughts at all. It's just a one-sided relationship, expecting them to contribute, Su Mo himself will die of laughter. These people are like this, not to mention that Xu Pu and Da Zheng.
Therefore, the final inventory of official forces turned out to be: almost nothing.
In addition to these, the power of the private sector cannot be said to be absent, but it is too loose. The He family may do their best to help themselves because of He Ying, but such as the Wuqing Zhang family and the Ma family, I am afraid that they must be best friends when it is beneficial. But if they are on the disadvantaged side, they are allowed to hide farther than anyone else, and these people can be auxiliary but cannot be relied on.
As for himself, in a series of actions in Wuqing, in the end, most of the benefits were fulfilled by others, except for making some silver every month, there was only a group of Zizhuang Ding left. In other words, Sun Sihai's side of Sihailou can be regarded as an unexpected gain, but now Sun Sihai's side has just started to start, and it is difficult to quench his thirst if he wants to rely on him.
Well, seriously speaking, maybe only the Daomen, for a long time, can be regarded as the most staunch alliance. Of course, the premise is that Su Mo's identity as an immortal master cannot be a goof. Otherwise, I am afraid that the staunchest supporters will instantly become the sharpest adversaries.
But Su Mo was not worried about this, especially now that he had the vitality in his body, it was estimated that even if everyone in the world was hostile to Su Mo, the Daomen would firmly stand by his side. It's not about loyalty, it's just about profit. Common interests are the most unbreakable key.
I don't know where the bull's nose of Tianji is now, and whether I have found those Westerners. There are also the results of the inspection in the capital, and whether there are any clues. If you have a chance to do this, you have to contact us with ideas. If he can contact the people who go to the Dao, he can at least save half of his energy.
Oh, by the way, and the old man Zhao Fengzhi, this old man went to Shandong, calculate the time, and almost have to go back. The old man's trip to Shandong, pushing the origin, can be said to be due to himself, but he doesn't know whether the final result is good or bad.
Speaking of which, Su Mo really owes a lot to this old man who really cares for him. In the future, we must find an opportunity to honor the old man, well, maybe the vitality of the body can be of some benefit to the old man?
After thinking about it like this, Su Mo couldn't help but snort his teeth, his strength was still too thin. In this case, if you want to keep yourself safe, you must make use of all the elements at your disposal.
Thinking like this, suddenly his heart moved, and he reached out and pulled out a sign from his neck. This sign is the token of the Grace League, which is said to have some power in the northwest.
Su Mo stroked the brand with his hand, pondered for a while, and resolutely ripped off the brand, and instead tied it around his waist to make it clear.
In the current situation, he has no choice. Even he doesn't have the slightest clue about what he will face next, and the exposure of this sign may cause some crises. But as the so-called crisis crisis, while there is danger, there will inevitably be fate, and maybe this chance is the key to survival in death.
There was a banging knock on the door, waking him from his thoughts. He Ying, who got up and opened the door and washed up again, jumped in one step, and urged energetically: "It's almost time to rest, so what are you waiting for, hurry up and take the silver and leave." β
Su Mo's face darkened, what kind of structure was in this stupid girl's head? If it were that simple, would you need to spend so much time on your own?
If you want to get the money smoothly, what you need now is to calm down and wait for the other party to come to the door by yourself. Rushing to the door with such an open flame, isn't it clear that he is fishing?
But then again, there's really no need to stay here longer, so it's better to take this opportunity to cross the river and go to the town ahead. First, you can find out the news, and secondly, you can save the other party from looking for it, and you have to waste time crossing the river back and forth.
Thinking of this, he nodded indispensably, cleaned up briefly, dragged him downstairs by He Ying, and went to the counter to settle the bill and leave.
When the two of them went out, Xiao Er, who was hiding behind the door, bowed to Heshi with a devout face, thanking the Buddha for hearing his plea and finally sending the two neuropaths away.
Su Mo and the others didn't know that they were nervous, so they went out all the way to the ferry, and just waited for a while, and then boarded the ferry smoothly.
These so-called ferries are actually run by some people in the vicinity, and the ferries are not big, and one boat can carry five or six people at most. If you meet a guest with more goods, only two or three people will be fully loaded.
This is the case with the boat that Su Mo and the others are on at this time, in addition to the two of them, there is a pair of people who look like masters and servants, and then there are several large and small cages, which look quite weighty.
The owner is a young man in his twenties, with a scarf and a long robe, dressed as a scholar. As soon as he got on the boat, he took out a book and looked at it with relish according to the box, ignoring others.
And noticing that Su Mo's eyes were spinning on the cage, the servant among the master and servant was slightly nervous, staring at him vigilantly, not for a moment.
The servant was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, but he was born with clear eyebrows, a clean shirt, and two horns on his head. At this time, he was still holding a bun in his hand and chewing it, thinking that he was in a hurry and didn't care about breakfast.
At this moment, he took a bite of the bun and glared at Su Mo, as if he was chewing Su Mo's meat instead of the bun in his mouth. The appearance of staring with puffed cheeks made Su Mo laugh, and a word popped up in his mind: Xiao Zhengtai.
The journey was lonely, and idleness was idle, and sensing the nervousness and hostility of this little Zhengtai, Su Mo's bad taste attribute was irrepressible.
"Ying'er, it's okay to be idle left and right, why don't I come up with a question to test you. Su Mo said with a smile, but he took two steps closer to those cages, which suddenly caused the little Zhengtai's eyes to widen.
He Ying was enjoying the scenery comfortably, and suddenly heard him say this, she couldn't help but be puzzled, and asked with a little vigilance: "Why do you want to test me? β
Su Mo was stunned, this stupid girl has no eyesight at all, it seems that the road is far and long.
Ha laughed dryly, and said with a smile: "Isn't this just fun, what does it have to do with whether or not you take the top prize?
He Ying hesitated, and her curiosity was also adjusted, so she nodded in response. When the young scholar who was leaning on the box in front of him to read the book heard the words "the champion of the examination", he seemed to be also alarmed, turned his head and glanced at this side in surprise, and then lowered his head again, but his ears couldn't help but prick up, to hear what the topic was.
The corners of Su Mo's mouth hooked, and he said slowly: "Say, there are brothers who cross the river by boat." But my brother had a seasickness problem, so before getting on the boat, my brother prepared a paper bag for my brother......"
He Ying suddenly interrupted: "What do you do to prepare paper bags for seasickness?
Su Mo's cheeks twitched, he glanced at her helplessly, and sighed: "Paper bags can't cure seasickness, but they can give the seasick brother a place to vomit." You can't let a boatload of people vomit while watching him. Be a man who pushes others by himself, and think more about others in everything. β
He Ying was stunned, and then gave him a roll of his eyes unhappily. This bad guy is Aixian, people don't know how to ask, this has to be trained.
Miss He Er was unhappy in her heart, but the scholar in front of her who was looking down at the book nodded secretly. Do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself, this brother Tai learned and used it, and he is indeed a person in my generation.
After teaching He Ying a little lesson to interrupt his unhappiness, Su Mo continued: "The two brothers were ready to get on the boat, and when the boat was halfway there, sure enough, my brother began to get seasick. But fortunately, the younger brother was prepared, and the elder brother held the paper bag and spit and vomited......"
Speaking of this, He Ying's faces couldn't help but change, and their stomachs churned subconsciously, feeling a little uncomfortable. The boy looked down at the bun in his hand, and felt that he was not hungry at all.
........ vomited for a long time, but the paper bag was full, and my brother's seasickness was still not over, which made my brother anxious. Su Mo's eyes quietly looked at the boy's performance, and the evil smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker, but he continued to speak slowly and logically.
"This is the middle of the river, where can I let my brother buy paper bags again? No way, the younger brother had to let the elder brother endure it first, get up and go to the back to ask if the boat boss has any more paper bags. Luckily, there were. So, the younger brother happily came back with the paper bag. But as soon as he came back, he was stunned, because now his brother didn't vomit, and he sat there as if he was sitting there all the time, but the other people around his brother were all vomiting. The younger brother asked the elder brother what was going on, but the elder brother said a word, and immediately the younger brother vomited. β
Speaking of this, Su Mo paused, and said to He Ying with a smile: "Ask, what did my brother say? β
He Ying's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "There is a prize?
Su Mo suddenly had a black line in his head, Woman, the point! Is it good to figure out the point? Let's ask what my brother said, not what the prize is!
He Ying also felt embarrassed after asking this, and when she saw Su Mo's stinky face, she couldn't help but spit out her little fragrant tongue and began to think hard.
What my brother said, this range is too big. However, thinking about it in combination with the above description, it seems that it should not be too difficult to guess.
She thought so, and the two masters and servants who had been listening with their ears pricked up all the time also thought the same thing. So for a while, several people on the boat fell silent, thinking about various possibilities in distress.
He Ying pouted and thought for a while, but she couldn't figure it out, and couldn't help but want to play tricks. He said: "What a problem, it's disgusting." If you don't guess, you must be playing tricks on me again. Otherwise, you will have the right answer. β
Su Mo was waiting for this sentence, and immediately smiled evilly: "Do you really want me to say, okay, don't make trouble, I just say it." β
As he spoke, he glanced at the master and servant, and saw that the two of them were also listening with their ears pricked up, so he coughed and said, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that my brother said, he endured it, he endured it, and suddenly thought, don't you have a paper bag in your hand? So, my brother opened his mouth and drank all the contents of the paper bag......"
Wow - vomit, cough, cough -
As soon as Su Mo finished speaking, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their faces began to turn blue, and then they began to turn white again. Then, at the same time, he got up and threw himself on the side of the boat, and spat wildly at the river.
Suddenly, the sound of acid and rot gas and vomiting drifted in unison, and the squirt and the river water flowed together.
