Chapter 12: Eavesdropping
After the two Lin Luo sisters and brothers found a place to live, they sorted out their luggage and bedding in the house, and the originally small room was now living together again, which inevitably became more cramped and crowded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Sister, I really shouldn't have let them go so easily just now." Lin Xun said dissatisfied, "Those people don't know what their intentions are, they have hidden weapons in their hands, I don't know what the purpose of coming to this capital is, in case they ...... again."
Lin Luo sat on the stool, gently wiped the sword in his hand, and said with a smile: "Aren't we also here with an unknown intention?" ā
"That's different, we're here to find someone, and they obviously have some ulterior motives."
"Even if there is some ulterior motive, what does it have to do with us?"
Lin Xun's words were blocked in his throat, and he thought that this was the same truth. This huge grand song, the huge capital of Linqing, outsiders abound, everyone's purpose and identity are very different, not the same, this is also a normal thing, what does it have to do with them?
Lin Xun smiled, sat down and said, "Senior sister, I'm hungry, can we go down to eat?" ā
"Yes." Lin Luo put away the polished sword, got up and hung it on the wall near the door, "Along the way, you have suffered a lot with me, and now at least you can live in an inn, you have not had a day of sleeping in the open before, let me ask you, have you ever regretted it?" ā
Lin Xun got up, walked out with her, and said, "Of course I didn't!" Instead of letting me follow my parents at home to be the head of the Lin family, managing a lot of large and small affairs, and not being able to travel in the mountains and rivers, and being aggrieved in one place for the rest of my life, I will not die! ā
"Huh? That's a bad word! Lin Luo corrected, "We didn't come out to enjoy the mountains and rivers, what happened in the past few months, do you still think we are playing?" ā
"Senior sister, this is your mistake." Lin Xun said in a good way, "The two of us, coming to Shengge from such a far place, it is inevitable that we will be tired and dangerous, but there is no lack of joy on the way, not to mention, we have also met a lot of benefactors and friends." This is in my heart, as long as it comes out, it is play, but there is no fun. As long as I don't have my parents in charge, I am the first carefree person in the world! ā
Lin Luo smiled and shook his head: "Your tone is almost catching up with those people just now." ā
They came out of the westernmost room on the second floor, bypassed a hallway, and were about to turn the corner and descend the stairs when they heard a familiar voice coming from a nearby room.
"Big brother, those two people just now are extraordinary, maybe we can ......"
"Well, you kid and I want to be together!"
The speakers were none other than those strong men just now. Lin Luo Lin Xun stopped at the same time, the two glanced at each other, and looked at the closed door at the same time.
"Sister, I'll just say that these people have bad intentions!" Lin Xun said with a gloomy face and a low voice.
Lin Luo raised his hand to stop him, his ear pressed against the door, "Shhhhhhh ā
"And where are we going to pick up our goods?"
"The people above said that they would pick up the goods at the post station on the left bank of the Dongping River on the tenth day, and someone would come at that time."
"Hehe, I heard that this time it's a big guy, and he has dealings with officials from various states and counties, if we do it this time, we will have a lot of silver tickets in our hands!"
"Hahaha......"
"But everything has advantages and disadvantages, and this dart has great benefits and risks. If the slightest mistake is a matter of your life, don't rejoice too soon! ā
"This ......"
"So I said, big brother, didn't you just take the initiative to give up a room just to attract talents? Aren't we ......?"
"Hmph, you're just smart!"
"Haha, it's a big brother who won the prize......"
A few people in it are talking word by word, except for the voice of the strong man who is the leader, most of the other voices are no different. Lin Xun retracted his head, thoughtfully, nodded, and said softly: "It turns out that it is a dart line." ā
Lin Luo also turned around and said lightly, "Let's go." ā
Lin Xun followed and asked puzzledly, "Sister, didn't you hear it just now?" They're darts. ā
"I already knew."
"Huh? Did you know? Lin Xun quickened his steps to catch up with her, "How do you know?" ā
The two of them went down the stairs, and there were already more people below, and the bustle on the street outside had passed, and the crowd dissipated, and most of them gathered in the teahouse inn, eating and chatting. There were only three or two empty tables left in the lobby of the inn, and they made their way to one of the most corner tables.
Lin Luo didn't answer his words in time, but beckoned Xiao Er to come over and order a few dishes, and then slowly took out the dart from his waist and put it on the table in front of Lin Xun.
The dart was long gone, and had been scrubbed clean by her while in the room.
"This?" Lin Xun picked up the dart, looked left and right, and couldn't see any clues.
"This kind of dart is usually only available to the government and the people in the dart industry, and they are generally used to carry letters and delivery information, or...... It is used to hurt people, but it is also self-defense. ā
Lin Xun realized: "No wonder! I thought they had some purpose, it turned out to be something they were carrying, but just now, in a hurry, they actually used this iconic thing, and I don't expect anyone to see it. It can be seen that this group of people is really ruthless, and it is no wonder that they are people in the dart game, most of them are for profit, and they can do whatever they want. ā
Lin Luo nodded, took a sip of hot tea.
"But why didn't you just say that?" Lin Xun turned his head and asked her.
"What's the use of saying that?" Lin Luo asked rhetorically, "I know that they are dart walkers, and there must be other murder weapons on their bodies, for the sake of a house, it doesn't matter, so we'd better not mess with it." ā
Lin Xun seemed to understand a little, and said thoughtfully: "Oh...... So, that's why you stopped me from continuing to argue with them and leaving here. ā
"But......" Lin Luo put down his teacup with a sad face, "Since they have locked us down, then they will definitely take action next." ā
"What are you afraid of!" Lin Xun took the teapot, poured a cup of hot tea, and drank it all, "Anyway, they are begging us to help, and the decision is naturally in our hands, as long as we are not harmed, we will have it!" ā
"Not necessarily......" Lin Luo shook his head.
As he was talking, there seemed to be a group of people walking down the stairs in front of him, although they were far away, Lin Luo still noticed something strange and subconsciously raised his eyes.
Sure enough, those people were coming down from the wooden ladder one by one, all with fierce looks and no smiles on their faces. The lobby was bustling with diners, noisy and lively, but the darts soon found their place in the crowd, and their eyes fell on them, and they walked down calmly.
"Heh, I really said that Cao Cao Cao will arrive." Lin Xun glanced at it and said with a smile.
