The Siege of Fancheng Chapter 6 The Fishermen's Gang
Mu Rui couldn't find Yi Huan's shadow again!
He went back and forth in the corridor, and in the small hut he had just bought, he searched all over the place, but there was no trace of Yi Huan.
"Senior brother went out to wave again......" Mu Rui muttered to himself, but was heard by Xiao Yan who had just come over.
"Senior brother went to the fisherman's gang and said that he would come back in the afternoon. Xiao Yan's voice was gentle, but Mu Rui, who had just seen her, was still stunned, so nervous that she didn't know where to put it.
"That'...... My sister knows...... Is there anyone to accompany the senior brother?" Mu Rui spoke, pimple.
"There should be no one else, Senior Brother went alone. ”
There's no one to accompany him!
"I'll go find him!" Murray thought of Yi Huan being drunk as a person, and immediately ran towards the door of the little hut.
"Thank you, junior sister!"
"Senior brother doesn't have to be polite. ”
......
"Lao He, another bowl!" Yi Huan shouted in the inner box of the Fisherman Gang, and his voice resounded throughout the lobby of the store. A few of the diners in the standing seats were startled and unconsciously poked inside.
Even if the people here are indigenous, there are few people who can talk to Boss He and call him "Lao He". As for the characters in this box, they still have a foreign accent, and they are somehow familiar with Boss He.
That's fine. Even if they are locals, they are about to move to other countries. Soon, Fancheng will be the world of the demon clan.
Most of the diners who stay here do so to enjoy a meal for the last few days. They also knew that in the few shops near the city walls, the Fishermen's Gang was still doing business. The Fishermen's Gang is not like other shops, it only deals in diners. They controlled almost all the fishing industry in the lower reaches of the Huai River and the surrounding rice farming. It is difficult to dissolve the entire production chain for a while.
In the box, there was a strong smell of fresh fish sauce!
I don't know what secret ingredient is used, but the boneless grilled fish made by the fishermen can not only maintain the original freshness of the ingredients, but also carefully penetrate the rich sauce aroma into it, and the two are perfectly combined to complement each other. The signature grilled fish with tomato sauce is tender and delicious when you enter your mouth, and the skin of the fish has the umami flavor of tomato sauce, filling your taste buds and leaving a fragrant taste in your mouth.
Yi Huan's table was already stacked with a dozen empty plates that had been eaten. Seeing that Baolin Ball swallowed two bowls, he still felt that it was not enough, and suddenly remembered that there were still children in the small hut who were not happy.
"Lao He, pack fifteen copies!"
"Whew~"
"Okay!"
There was another rush of work in the kitchen. The spicy smell mixed with the strong aroma of onion and garlic could not stop pouring out of the kitchen, and those diners who did not qualify to enter the inner room could only smell the fragrance and stare dryly.
The silver taels they brought with them were enough to barely fill their stomachs, if it weren't for a few days ago, a Qingfeng white-clothed handout silver taels, and an extra free silver coupon from the Fishermen's Gang, they might not even have such a chance to eat.
The grilled fish seemed to be able to cook itself and jump out of the pot, and in less than a quarter of an hour, fifteen portions of grilled fish were served on the table. They are all wrapped in water-protected Nioh lotus leaf paper, and the smell of grilled fish does not reveal a single bit, and it is very fresh. When I got closer, I could smell the fragrance of the lotus leaves on the outside.
Baolin Qiu showed his tiger teeth, looked at the packets of grilled fish rice, smirked at the corners of his mouth, and swayed back and forth with one tail. Yi Huan performed the spell, he looked no different from ordinary people, no matter how high that tail was, no one would notice it.
"Ten servings for your dinner, don't worry. Mu Rui's kid likes to eat some dry food we bring with him at most, he doesn't eat fish. Yi Huan carefully bandaged the lotus leaves, "But also bring something for him to taste......
In the middle of my mind, I recalled the encounters I had in the food street in the north of the city these days, and I had some gains, but I also had some troubles. Most of the shops in the neighborhood have closed their doors and left.
There are only a few dim sum shops left, and there are some shopkeepers who are not very capable and have no deterrence, and the little two are all thieves, and the two rolls of silver after bookkeeping leave go to the empty building, and the monks and temples run away.
Those who happened to meet Yi Huan were unlucky, and they didn't steal the silver and kowtow a few times to the shopkeeper to make amends, but they couldn't run the hall, so they collected a few taels of silver in the room, and planned the schedule of fleeing to the countryside in advance.
"The osmanthus chongyang cake of Lao Zhou's mother's house in the south is good, but there is too little bean paste......"
"The durian crisp of the Chen family shop in the north is very good, but the junior brother doesn't like the fragrant and intoxicating durian flavor......"
"The tofu flowers of the tofu in the west are very distinctive, but it is not good to bring them back to Xiaohulu......
After going out, he talked to himself along the way, counting the few remaining shops, but found that only the after-dinner desserts of the Fishermen's Gang could barely enter the mouth of the junior brother. I didn't expect this junior brother who is not a picky eater to be more difficult to serve than diners. The delicacies of the mountains and seas cannot be touched, only coarse tea and light rice are suitable for his mouth.
It's a pity that there is a good brother, but there is no blessed life. Although he thought so, along the way, Yi Huan still bought some of the signature pastries of those shops, or brought them back to Mu Rui to choose, or asked Xiao Yan to pick some to taste, maybe when he saw Yan'er's favorite, Mu Rui would also be a little interested, hiding in the room and trying to taste it.
Seeing Yi Huan stuffing boxes of signature pastries that he had never tasted into the sack he was carrying, Baolin Qiu was happily wagging his tail again.
"Senior brother, why are you here!"
Mu Rui rushed to the fisherman's gang and couldn't find the two, but collided with the two of them at the corner, bumped into Bao Linqiu, the corner of his clothes wiped the sack on his back, and Bao Linqiu glared at Mu Rui fiercely as if his baby had been injured. Mu Rui was embarrassed for a while, and he didn't want to apologize to a monster, so he ignored the Baolin ball and turned to Yi Huan.
"Senior brother, I have already handed over the letter to Elder Lin. ”
Mu Rui took a closer look at Yi Huan's face, although he was slightly flushed because of excitement, there was no trace of drinking, and he finally put his mind at ease.
"Don't worry, I have important things to do in these two days, and I won't be drinking. Did you let Lin Lao see that piece of glazed cicada jade?" Yi Huan said, taking out a hazelnut from his sleeve and stuffing it into Baolin Qiu's mouth to soothe his injured heart.
"After reading it, Lin Lao shouldn't be able to see that I did it on purpose. Mu Rui replied.
"It doesn't matter if you see what you're doing on purpose, as long as you can gain Lin Lao's trust. It's just that after seeing the glazed cicada jade last night, I may recall some unbearable past, and Lin Lao may have trouble sleeping all night, which is a little sorry for his old man's age. ”
Regarding the past that Yi Huan said, Mu Rui didn't know too much, but he knew that it might have something to do with the past when his senior brother fell into the Valley of Dust. He still remembered that he was a child at that time, and he saw a black-robed young man three or five years older than him, covered in blood, crying out to him for help at the Ten Thousand Swords Cliff in the Valley of Dust.
The black-robed young man who was rescued is now his senior brother, and for some reason, he is young, but he entered the valley earlier than Yi Huan, and the master asked him to call him his senior brother.
Soon after, the black-robed young man recovered from his injury, and Mu Rui got along with him, only to know that he had a hearty personality and was generous, even if he usually looked like a foolish person, but when he wanted to do things, he was always thoughtful and everything could be arranged. Mu Rui admired him and called him a senior brother willingly.
The only thing that puzzled him was that he didn't have any clue about the origin of this senior brother. It seems that everything about the senior brother is a mystery, even "Yi Huan" is the name he gave himself, what his real name is, except for the old valley master, their master, no one else knows.
Maybe it's hard to say, Mu Rui didn't ask about it. As long as he believes that his senior brother is a good person, he will not harm others, and he often saves people in danger. Even if it doesn't look very reliable at ordinary times, but when it comes to the critical moment, it can be seen from the words and demeanors that the senior brother is an unusual person.
"Senior brother, what should we do next?" Mu Rui was anxious to know what else the senior brother had to order.
"Of course, I was full, and I took the Baolin ball to do coolies. You don't have to come along. Yi Huan felt that his stomach was a little overwhelmed, and when he looked at the Baolin Ball, his stomach was full and round. Bao Lin Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, he had just stolen some snacks from the sack, and was now caressing his stomach comfortably.
Only Mu Rui was stunned.
"What do you mean?
"Cut down trees. ”
Yi Huan smiled and touched the head of the dragon horn of the Baolin Ball.
......
"Any other news?" the Ghost King was a big throat, and his voice was low but shook the ground.
He stood up from his throne, his bloody eyes shining with a coercion. The little imp of the prayer shuddered unconsciously and took two steps back.
"No, no......" it shuddered.
The little ghost had just returned from listening to the news from Fancheng, and he had a part of the map of Fancheng in his hand, and when he saw that the ghost king was still staring at it, he hurriedly presented the map to the king.
According to the information it brought, this time Lin Hai had rebelled against Fancheng and joined his command.
The letter has long been received. The Ghost King reopened the letter, which contained a map of Fancheng. Compared to the map presented by the imp, there is not the slightest difference, just ......
"Why are you only half of yours?" the Ghost King's voice was visibly angry.
Three days ago, he ordered the little ghost to go to the interior of Fancheng to be a spy, the purpose was to find out the layout of the roads inside Fancheng, and to draw a copy back as it was for reference.
What the little ghost presented at this time was only one-third of the entire Fancheng map, and most of them were just scenes on the edge of the city wall, which did not have enough reference value.
When the little one first entered Fancheng, he also wanted to complete the task quickly and come back early. But......," the imp said here, pausing for a moment.
"But what?" Seeing that the little ghost hesitated to speak, the ghost king's anger increased even more.
"But, but somehow, not long after the little one went to Fancheng, he sat down in a small shop called the Fishermen's Gang, and the demon-shaped pill in his pocket was gone, and the one that was not stolen was left, and it was only enough to last for half a day to maintain the appearance of the human race......"
"It's only enough to last for half a day, so why did it take you so long to come back?" the Ghost King looked suspicious.
"The little one wanted to run out of the city gate before the Demon Shape Pill was about to lose its effectiveness. But on the way, I met a white-robed Taoist man, and there was a monster beside him. The monster actually sniffed at the small one, and as if it smelled the smell, it pounced on the small one. ”
The little ghost said, he still remembered that the monster was as strong as Nanshan, and his eyes were not intelligent, but there was a terrible coercion, and that coercion was even several times stronger than that of the ghost king, so that his body could not move.
You can't talk to the king about this, otherwise, you will be directly skinned and bloody, and your bones will be scattered because of hurting the ghost king's self-esteem, in the name of being arrogant and disturbing the demon heart!
Saving life is important, integrity is secondary.
"Do you know who that man is?" the Ghost King asked. He also seemed to be interested in this white-clothed Taoist.
"I don't know. It seems to be from a foreign country, looking pompous and confused, not like a capable character. It's just that the monster next to it is really terrifying, chasing the small one for three whole streets. ”
Three streets is just an unreal imaginary number, and the imp thinks that he has an ethereal body and no one can match his speed. But the monster's physical strength is boundless, like a cat teasing a mouse, chasing up when fast and slow, always when he is about to catch up with him, let him take two steps, when he thinks the monster has no physical strength to relax his emotions, but the monster has two eyes and pounces on it at a faster speed......
If it weren't for the fact that the guy was attracted by some novelty next to him, they would probably have to circle Fancheng.
"In order to meet the adults as soon as possible, the little one reported the news of Fancheng to the king. Last night, he chose an opportunity for the city gate guards to be lax, covered himself with a black cloth, escaped from the city, and hurried back to share the king's worries. ”
