Linshan County.

Xicheng, Suzaku Long Street.

There are three religions and nine streams on this street, which is a mixture of fish and dragons, which is equivalent to a market on the water blue star.

The most important thing is that all the green buildings in Linshan County are on this long street, so this Suzaku long street is also the favorite place for all the sons and daughters in Linshan County.

At noon, Suzaku Street is crowded with people, and the traders are carrying flat poles, shouting, selling some strange things, and the steamed bun shops at both ends of the side are constantly coming from bursts of meat fragrance, seducing people's inner gluttony.

At this time, the party Zhao Ting didn't know that he had been targeted, he was carrying his dog legs, and Zhao Si, the subordinate of the Zhao Mansion, was wandering around this Suzaku long street.

Suddenly coming to such an ancient world with a strong sense of history, Zhao Ting was full of freshness about everything, especially the Qinglou in the city, he was particularly interested.

Therefore, he took advantage of the Zhao Mansion Master Zhao Ziqi today, oh, that is, the father of the original owner of his body was not there, and sneaked out with Zhao Si.

For his cheap father Zhao Ziqi, Zhao Ting didn't want to contact him from the bottom of his heart.

Because he was afraid that he would be exposed as soon as he spoke, he avoided Zhao Ziqi these days, and he couldn't avoid it when he bumped into him in the mansion before he reluctantly went up to say hello.

Fortunately, Zhao Ziqi was also very busy on weekdays, so he didn't notice it at all, and he didn't have time to notice the changes in his "son", so Zhao Tingcai was confused.

"Zhao Si, didn't you say that you want to take your master to a fun place?" Thinking of this, Zhao Ting's smile rippled slightly, "Don't you want to lead the way?"

"Hey, sir, let's go this way. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, all without saying a word.

As he was walking, there was a babbling voice behind him.

"Eh, Ting Shao, stay here, Ting Shao......"

Zhao Ting was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the voice seemed to be calling himself. He turned his head and saw a Roshan wearing a light blue robe weighing about two hundred pounds rushing towards him.

Zhao Ting frowned, put on a defensive posture, and asked Zhao Si in a low voice: "Who is this person?"

As Zhao Ting's personal subordinate, the number one dog-legged, Zhao Si has also become accustomed to Zhao Ting's "indirect amnesia" during this time, and leaned into his ear and said: "Master, this is Jiang Ruhai, the eldest young master of the Jiang family, your fox friend dog...... No, your best friend. ”

"Oh," Zhao Ting nodded slightly, not caring about Zhao Si's gaffe.

"Ting Shao, it's really not easy to see you," that "Roshan" Jiang Ruhai came to Zhao Ting's side, took his hand and said with a look of grievance, "You promised me some time ago that when the "Treasure Pavilion" purchased by my cousin opened, you would come to cheer, but I waited all day and didn't ......."

Suddenly pulled by a fat, greasy and somewhat wet palm, Zhao Ting suddenly felt a strong sense of discomfort in his heart, he was not a.

"Talk, talk, you let me go first, what do the two men say like pulling and pulling. ”

"I won't let it go," Jiang Ruhai was very stubborn, "Ting Shao, you said that you can release my pigeon, forget it, when I went to the house to look for you, you were still closed." ”

"You have changed, where have you put our years of brotherhood?"

Looking at his resentful expression, Zhao Ting only felt that his scalp was numb, and said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, it's really wrong for me to release your pigeon, I apologize, but I still have something to do now, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"Come on, Ting Shao, what can you do, isn't it just going to the "Drunken Flower Residence"?" Jiang Ruhai ruthlessly exposed him, "It's not in the way to go once less, and it's really okay for my brother to find you." ”

"Okay, then you say, I'll listen. ”

Seeing that Zhao Ting was relieved, Jiang Ruhai suddenly smiled, pulled his sleeve and said, "Let's go, this is not the place to talk, go to Haidong Building, I will be the east." ”

......

......

Haidong Building.

This Haidong Building still has a few cards in Linshan County, and it is the best restaurant in this small border city.

The restaurant has three floors, and it is quite magnificent.

The plaque on the door is black, and the three big red characters in the middle "Haidong Building" are full of charm, and you can see that they are written by everyone.

"Yo, Zhao Gongzi, Jiang Gongzi is here, is he still in the old seat?"

Jiang Ruhai let out a faint "um", did not speak, and the three of them followed the little guy all the way to the third floor.

Compared with the first and second floors, there are many fewer people on the third floor, and it is a little deserted.

After taking a seat by the window, a table of wine and food was quickly served on the dark purple sandalwood table.

"Ting Shao, I know you're good, come, full," Jiang Ruhai smiled on his face, picked up the white porcelain bottle on the table and poured a cup for Zhao Ting, "It seems that such a good wine as "Canglan Drunk" can only be drunk in Haidong Building. ”

Zhao Ting glanced at him, picked up the wine cup and drank it all. The taste of this "vicissitudes of drunkenness" is not as bitter as he imagined, but a little sweet.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Zhao Ting asked with a chopstick dish.

Jiang Ruhai smiled and said, "It's still my cousin's matter, I don't blame you for releasing my pigeons last time." But in three days, there will be an auction in the "Treasure Pavilion", and there will be a lot of interesting objects that my cousin has collected from other states and counties. ”

"This is an invitation to the auction," Jiang Ruhai said and took out a letter with gold edges from his arms and handed it to Zhao Ting.

Zhao Ting stretched out his hand to take it, and said speechlessly: "That's it, just say no, what's the deal?"

"I'm not afraid that you will release my pigeon if you make a "verbal agreement", so I would like to invite you solemnly. Jiang Ruhai said aggrievedly.

“......”

As the two were talking, the welcoming little guy took a few more people up to the third floor.

The leader was wearing a cyan robe with a white lotus flower tattooed with gold thread on his chest, and he looked very angry.

After the people were seated, Zhao Ting turned his head and asked Zhao Si, who was standing on the side: "Who is this?"

It's no wonder that he asked, after all, if you can come to eat on the third floor of the East Building in Shanghai, you will have a bit of an identity, not to mention it.

Zhao Si glanced over there and said, "Master, it's a small family in our county, the second son of the Li family." ”

"Oh. Zhao Ting answered, and there was no follow-up.

After a while, the second son of Li, who was dressed very sassy, spoke, and his tone seemed to be a little sad: "Hey, it's the third time this month, what a headache!"

"There is a lot of uproar here in Xicheng, if it goes on like this, our Li family is afraid that we will no longer be able to hire medicine pickers. ”

One person answered: "Those medicine pickers who entered Laomiao Mountain obviously committed suicide by jumping off a cliff, but their family members insist on relying on Li Gongzi and you, isn't this vexatious?

"I'm not afraid of these people making trouble, I'm just worried that if things are allowed to develop like this, to the point where "no one dares to enter Laomiao Mountain", then our Li family's medicinal herb business will be greatly discounted!"

"After all, the mountain behind the old temple mountain is a treasure place for medicine. ”

After listening quietly for a while, Zhao Ting became interested, turned his head to look at Zhao Si and asked, "What did they say, what is the matter with the uproar in Xicheng?"

Without waiting for Zhao Si to speak, Jiang Ruhai interjected: "Eh, I know this, I heard that the old temple mountain in the west is the place where we used to hunt, and there have been several evil sects in that place recently." ”

"I haven't been so evil before, it's just a recent thing, as long as the farmers who go into the mountains behind the old temple mountain to cut firewood and collect medicine, most of them haven't come out. ”

Zhao Ting's heart was slightly cold, and he asked, "What does it mean that you didn't come out?"

"It's just dead!" Jiang Ruhai spread his hands and explained: "These people who have entered the back mountain have jumped down from the "Shesheng Cliff" in the south, saying that they were blinded by mountain ghosts, who knows, most of this kind of statement is false, I can't believe it, I can't believe it." ”

Zhao Si, who was on the side, also added at this time: "What kind of 'mountain ghost'? ”

He pursed his lips with some disdain, and analyzed: "The theory of 'mountain ghosts' came from the mouths of some old peasants who were digging in the soil, who were short-sighted, ignorant, and only knew how to pin their bodies and minds on ghosts and gods when they were indecided, which was simply ridiculous. ”

"According to the villain, those who jumped off the cliff of sacrifice are all autistic. ”

The two sons also knew that the mountain behind the old temple mountain was steep, extremely deep, and the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, and those medicine pickers would get lost in the mountain if they were not careful, and they would not be able to find the direction to come out. ”

"This person, after being trapped in one place for a long time, is prone to self-autism, and this autism will produce all kinds of hallucinations, which is commonly known as "scaring oneself". ”

"In this case, it is not unusual for those medicine pickers to commit suicide one after another. ”

The head of his analysis was the Tao, and even Jiang Ruhai was stunned by his bluffing, and couldn't help but bow his head slightly.

Seeing this, Zhao Si became even more proud, and said loudly: "So, ghosts and gods are all false, I, Zhao Si, have always believed in it, and my life is up to me!"

“......”

"Ahem," Zhao Ting coughed slightly, "That's right, Zhao Si, master, I suddenly want to eat the meat buns from the Zhu family's steamed bun shop, you go and buy two for me, run faster, don't let the buns get cold." ”

"Gotcha!"
