"You mean to rob the documents?" asked the short, frowning.

The man in gray smiled and said, "Few people will realize that intergovernmental correspondence also has monetary value. ”

Scratching his head, the tall man asked, "I didn't understand." ”

The man in gray patiently explained: "Suppose a person from Daxi has arrived in Kyushu, but the documents have not arrived, and if you want to reapply for it, you have to return to Daxi to apply in person. Rich people are not afraid of spending money, they are afraid of trouble. ”

The short man's brain turned obviously faster, and he spoke for a while: "The truth is this truth, and how to start is the point." ”

"Haha, it seems that my fingers have been saved," the man in gray said with a smile, "Coincidentally, before I resigned, I served in the Department of Foreign Affairs, and although I have no official position, I can also see some useful documents and know some inside information." For example, the foreign affairs documents of the Great Western Kingdom, in order to prevent the robbery of the sea pirates, were basically transported by warships, and after arriving at the military port, they were uniformly distributed. Non-classified documents such as identification certificates are generally handed over to ordinary messengers, and there will be no accompanying guards. According to the schedule, three days ago, a warship of the Great Western Kingdom had stopped briefly at the military port of Walvis Bay, and Walvis Bay was only five days away from Linfeng City, so you only need to ambush near the official post station in the northern suburbs, and if you see a messenger wearing official boots, you will beat Meng with a stick. On the identification card, there is the contact address of each person in Kyushu, and it is not difficult to find them. As for how much you want to speak, it depends on your mood. ”

The man in gray explained like this, and the tall man also understood the truth, and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Rip the money of these devils, just think about it." ”

The short man smiled too, and he reached out and helped the man in gray to his feet.

"You don't look like you're exactly a piece of shit. He said.

The man in gray took this as a compliment, and said, "You need to be careful when you do it, as long as you don't hurt the life of the messenger, the people of the government will naturally not spend too much energy on investigating." If you get the money, go to the countryside to avoid the limelight first, and after a year and a half, no one will pursue the matter again. ”

The short man patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "You can think of it all over you." ”

"It's just ... The short one winked at the tall one.

The tall man swung his stick and struck the man in gray on his right knee.

With a muffled sound and screams, the man in gray fell to the ground again.

The short one aimed at his front door and made up for it, kicking it right on the bridge of the gray man's nose.

Blood poured out of the gray-clothed man's nostrils in an instant, but he only covered his knees with both hands, rolling on the ground in pain.

The short man pinched his waist and lowered his head, and sneered: "Your grandfather and I are kind today and will not let you become disabled." But if it doesn't let you see some blood, it's not appropriate. Next time before you pretend to be smart, I suggest that you pee on yourself first, rotten gamblers don't deserve to bargain, so put away your silly smiling face and beg for mercy obediently, maybe you won't suffer this sin. ”

After that, he didn't forget to spit a mouthful of phlegm on the face of the man in gray.

"Let's go. He said to the tall man, "I have to get the fingers of the dead man, it's really a blood mold." If you go back to the boss and ask, be smart... He turned around and continued to mumble.

Shen Zui hurriedly found a dark corner and hid. After a while, hearing their footsteps getting farther and farther away, he poked his head out and watched their backs disappear into the night, before slowly walking towards the man in gray.

The man in gray was no longer churning, and his eyes were closed and motionless on the ground. Shen Zui picked up a branch on the ground and gently poked him in the back.

"Are they far away?" asked the man in gray suddenly.

Shen was startled and couldn't help but take half a step back.

"Are they far away?" the man in gray repeated his question.

Shen Zui replied in a low voice, "Hmm." ”

The man in gray covered his knees with one hand and sat up with the other hand. He licked his tongue down the gums, checking for loose teeth, then forcefully opened his nostrils and spat out a mouthful of blood.

", the two grandsons are not authentic. He scolded angrily, "However, you kid is not clever, so you are stupid to peek over there, and you don't want to run to report to the official." ”

Shen Zui thought that he was hiding well, but he didn't expect that the man in gray had already discovered him.

The man in gray touched his knee and tried to lift it, but found it very difficult. He sighed and said to Shen Zui, "Come and help me." ”

Shen Zui hurriedly stretched out his hands and held his arm. The man in gray supported his body on one leg and stood up, his expression looking very painful.

He said: "The wise man once said: If you don't save yourself when you die, you will kill the same thing." In the same way, if I am injured like this, you are also responsible. I don't think you've ever seen this kind of scene as a little kid, so it's understandable. Turn left on the third street, there is a medical officer, I know him, you help me to his place, I will not embarrass you. ”

Shen Zui blamed himself for his curiosity, and couldn't bear to see him in pain and helplessness, so he nodded silently.

The man in gray put his hand on Shen Shen's shoulder, jumped one step at a time, and it was very difficult to move, so he had to take a few steps and rest, and he didn't have much to go, so he walked for a long time.

Before arriving at the destination, the man in gray suddenly asked Shen Zui: "You are an international student, right?" Although you don't have any accent, you're not like a Kyushu person, who doesn't meddle much. ”

This question made Shen Zui very difficult, he thought for a while and replied, "Yes and no." ”

The man in gray was puzzled, "Oh?"

Shen Zui said: "My mother is from Kyushu, and my father is from the Great West Country. I was born in Kyushu and grew up in Onishi. Do you think I'm an international student?"

"I see, you haven't reached adulthood yet, so you haven't chosen your nationality yet. However, if your father has a knighthood to pass on to you, then you will definitely choose the Great Western Kingdom. ”

Shen Zui heard that he was testing himself, and in order to reassure him, he said, "He's just a civilian, so I'm not worried that someone will rip me out of money, and you don't have to worry that I will give you out." ”

As soon as these words came out, Shen felt inappropriate, and added: "But don't get me wrong, maybe you have your own troubles, but I don't approve of instigating others to break the law." ”

The man in gray smiled knowingly and said, "Haha, you little brother, it's a little interesting." You're right, it's certainly wrong to encourage them to do evil, but I didn't do that. On the contrary, I am the one who destroys evil for the people. Do you know why?"

Shen Zui replied coldly: "I don't know, and I don't want to know." ”

The man in gray salivated his face, and the hand on Shen Zui's shoulder pinched him hard, and said, "You don't want to know, I'll tell you, haha." I'm a person, my official luck is not good, I missed the scientific examination, I took the eleventh place, I was not given an official, I didn't make any money, I had bad luck in gambling, and I owed money to more than one casino. It stands to reason that my ten fingers are not enough to cut, but you see, there are a lot of them now. ”

Shen Zui guessed the reason and said, "A piece of rich news can save you more than once." Or, as you said, you want to rid the people of harm, so you deliberately tell a message to several waves of people so that they will eat dogs for a bone. ”

The man in gray smiled: "Sure enough, it's a son who can be taught, hahaha." What's your name, young man?"

"Shen drunk, Shen of three points of water, drunk of drunk. ”

"Na Paid, the first word is N. Classmate Shen, my brother has arrived at the place, thank you for your hard work. If you have the opportunity to go to Kyoto in the future, remember to look for me. Linfeng City can't accommodate my talent, Kyoto is spacious enough, I'm sure I can mix better than now, and when the time comes, please drink wine and eat meat, hahaha. ”

Shen Zui wanted to make his stance on alcohol clear, but Napaed had already knocked on the doctor's door.

The infirmary was a white-bearded old man, who came out wearing a blanket and holding a kerosene lamp in his hand, looking tired and yawning.

Shen Zui briefly recounted how Napside was injured, and the white-bearded old man only sighed when he heard it.

Seeing that the medical officer had nothing else to ask, Shen Zui waved goodbye to Napaid.

There were no twists and turns on the way home, drunk and tired, I couldn't take off my shoes and socks and fell on the bed, and dimly heard the watchman outside the house shouting: "Ridan, clouds and mist, yin and yang change." ”
