11. Lost and regained
The blood stains on the ground had dried up and turned dark brown, and the butterflies were flying up and down, and someone found something in the messy grass, stood up and walked towards the person in charge: "It should be the city lord who did it." ”
Ling re-looked at the thing that was turned into slag and nodded, in Frost-Free City, only Lian Yun would treat a butterfly like this, or this was the only disgust he showed -
Zhonghua and Alien Butterfly.
"Release all the alien butterflies you brought out, these things like the blood of the city lord, if the city lord wants to contact us, he will naturally lead them over."
"Yes."
Lian Yun was standing in front of a small stall, saying that it was a stall was actually not a table, with two bowls buttoned up on it, and there were two notes on the table, one was written 'big' and the other was written 'small', which was pressed by two stones. There was a group of people around, and Lian Yun could see a handful of more or less coins in everyone's hands, and he thought for a moment and took out a broken silver from the cheek pouch of his belt.
This was given to him by Lu Shengyuan, Lian Yun stared at the broken silver for a while, and put it on the 'big' side under the hungry gaze of the dealer and the people around him.
"Great." He said that this word was still learned and sold when he was just watching.
"Great!" The dealer shouted highly, turned his head and continued to the people around him: "Buy big and buy small? Buy it and leave! ”
His voice was enthusiastic, and he did not lose half a point of enthusiasm because of the simplicity of the conditions and facilities, and the people around him were quickly infected by this feeling, Lian Yun saw one by one slap on the table, leaving some bets, and looked at a pair of bowls on the table.
It should be big, Lian Yun thought.
He had been standing on the sidelines for a long time, and it was impossible to mishear.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you hear it wrong.
The dealer waited for everyone to finish the bet, and then roared twice, no one pressed the money anymore and then reached out to cover the bowl above, Lian Yun looked at the broken bowl in his hand like everyone else, the dealer rolled his eyes, and reached out to uncover the bowl.
"Four, five, six, big!"
Lian Yun looked at the number of dices, reached out and grabbed the money pushed by the dealer again.
"This guy has good luck, do you want to play again?" The dealer said.
Lian Yun nodded, and the hat covered his face, and people could only see his movements.
"Great!" The dealer smiled, scooped up the bowl, and said while shaking: "Buy big and buy small, buy big and buy small!" ”
"One-one-two, small!"
Lian Yun frowned, he raised his eyes to look at the dealer, the other party seemed to know that he was looking at himself, and smiled at Lian Yun and comforted: "This time the luck is not very good, you can fight next time." ”
The dealer is an honest man, and when he laughs, he feels very honest and kind, Lian Yun stared at his smile until he looked a little stiff, and then stretched out his hand.
A chain of amethysts was carried in his hand and placed on the table.
"Great." He said.
But a hand came in from the diagonal and picked up the chain that Lian Yun had just placed on the table.
"Is it fun?" The owner of this hand said with a smile.
Lian Yun turned around: "Ji Kai." He said in a low voice, for his voice was hoarse and his tone was cold, like a snake spitting letters.
"This young man," the dealer cautiously glanced at the two swords Lu Shengyuan held in his hand, "Once the bet is on the table, it cannot be refunded, this is the rule." ”
Hearing what he said, the people under the hat frowned in embarrassment, sighed for a while, and put the chain back: "Yes, then there is no way." ”
Lian Yun felt that the other party seemed to glance at him intentionally or unintentionally: "Okay, this is the last time, we'll leave after the bet." ”
Lian Yun nodded.
The game began quickly, and the moment the bowl landed on the table, Lian Yun blinked, and he looked up at the dealer.
"One, two, three, small!"
The dealer smiled because of this result, he took the chain that Lian Yun put on the table, and looked up: "Huh? What about people? ”
People come and go in the market, and there are many people sitting on the tea stall at the entrance of the alley, two of them wearing hats to cover their faces, and they can't see the appearance of people under the veil, and they are mysterious. However, no one dared to step forward, and the two swords placed on the table showed their identities as Jianghu people, and those who knew the severity would not provoke lightly.
"The lord of Frostless City is not dead, but the clogs will disappear again. Now it depends on whether the people from Frostless City find him first, or Luofu's. ”
"Why do you think this person from the left part of Luofu is so bold?"
Lian Yun heard the familiar words and glanced at the people chatting, he didn't know that in the rivers and lakes, Frostless City and Luofu would not be talked about lightly, and the Chaoshi Frostless was even more so, everyone kept it secret, as if it was a taboo. However, he didn't know it didn't mean that Lu Shengyuan didn't know, and after a pause in the action of drinking tea, Lu Shengyuan looked at the people over there quietly.
Two ordinary charlatans.
The next moment, he also figured out that the left part of Luofu stunned everyone on an occasion like the Clogs Flower Club, which can be said to be the hottest topic in the rivers and lakes now, they did it so blatantly, and they were not afraid of people's talk about it at all, from a certain point of view, they had already expected it, and they had no scruples.
So this matter is now known, and everyone has to know.
He glanced at Lian Yun, but the other party didn't react, Lu Shengyuan put down the teacup in his hand: "You wait here for a while, I'll go buy something." ”
Without waiting for Lian Yun to respond, he had already stood up and left with his sword.
The person next to him sat and talked for a while, and then paid and left, and now only Lian Yun was sitting here alone in the tea stall.
It would be a while before Lu Shengyuan came back, and Lian Yun threw a few copper plates on the table and left.
He walked all the way out of the city, and only when he got out of the city and into the forest did he stop and turn around: "Who." ”
No one came out.
After standing like this for a while, the wind rose.
The dense branches and leaves of the trees were rustled by the wind, and even the long sleeves of Lianyun's coat were also flipped up, and his hand hanging down at his side stretched out his sleeve to touch the crimson he held in his left hand, which was slow enough for people to see his movements and know what he wanted to do.
A man crawled out of the bushes.
"You." Lian Yun was a little surprised, he looked at the person in front of him, and then his eyes moved to the thing he was holding.
"What's that?" He asked, but the pupils in his eyes shrank
Lu Shengyuan came back with a carriage, Lian Yun sat at the table of the tea stall, his expression could not be seen under the hat, but this person's back was tense, and the hand on the table was clenched into a fist, exuding an aura of not entering the living, as if he was suppressing something.
"What's wrong with you?"
Lian Yun looked up at Lu Shengyuan, the other party was stunned for a moment, and took off the hat on his head. He looked at the other party's face for a few seconds, then lowered his head, and Lian Yun slowly put the things in his hand on the table.
Lu Shengyuan's pupils shrank: "Fog bath? ”
This sword appeared inexplicably, and what was even more strange was that it suddenly appeared in Lian Yun's hand, the cold white scabbard was rusted with light gray patterns, and it gathered like smoke in the place where it was exposed, this sword was beautiful and cold just like his name
"It's a foggy bath indeed." Lu Shengyuan Road.
The person who sent the sword was known to Lian Yun and Lu Shengyuan, and even not long after they met, the man crawled out of the bush, and after meeting Lian Yun's gaze, he immediately raised his hand as if surrendering, and the sword in his hand entered the eyes of the person so openly.
'I don't know anything, I was told to give you this sword. ’
'Who? ’
I don't know, it's a young man, he left it behind and left. ’
'You' stalking me? Lian Yun straightened the corners of his mouth, and a trace of crimson was pulled out, revealing a terrifying cold light.
Startled by his appearance, the man immediately saw sweat on his head, and quickly explained: "After you left, I opened a few more games and packed up, and when I went out of the alley, I met the man with this sword, and he told me to give you something, gave me a piece of silver, and left." When I walked out of the alley and saw you, I was about to pass by when you left the tea stall and followed you all the way out of town! I don't know anything, I'm just taking money to do things-
After talking like this for a while, Lian Yun let go of his hand, and a foot of crimson slipped into it again, and the honest man looked at him nervously with a blushing face, and it took a long time to put down his raised hand in a trembling manner, and gently put the shuriken on the ground, but his eyes did not dare to leave the opposite side a little.
'I've put things here. He said in a cold sweat.
The person on the other side didn't look at the sword on the ground, his indifferent eyes stared at him for a moment, the man felt that he was really unlucky, he took a deep breath, and slowly retreated step by step, as if he was facing a fierce beast, he didn't dare to make a little move, lest he alarm the other party and end up in a dead place.
The forest became quiet, the wind stopped at some point, and the snow-white shoes stopped beside the long sword, and a pale and cold hand picked him up in the middle of the night.
This is the end of the recollection.
Lu Shengyuan reached out to take the mist bath, but unexpectedly someone was faster than him, only to see a white shadow flashing, and his outstretched hand had been opened, leaving a red mark.
"Whew-" Lian Yun let go of the hand holding the misty bath, and the sword landed on the table with a crisp sound, he seemed to be frightened by his actions just now, and stood up from the stool suddenly, and turned around and left neatly without looking at the sword on the table.
Lu Shengyuan touched the red mark on his hand, and the misty bath sword was left on the table as if it had been discarded, and he couldn't see that someone was so nervous just now that people couldn't touch it.
He looked at the mist and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Guest?" The tea stall owner was a little strange, why did this person stand still?
"I'm sorry." Lu Shengyuan scratched his head, took out a few copper plates and put them on the table, then picked up the mist bath and chased in the direction where Lian Yun left, and disappeared completely into the street after a while.
"A bowl of tea!" Someone shouted.
The stall owner was suddenly awakened, patted his chest with palpitations, looked at Lu Shengyuan's back and muttered: "Obviously a person with a gentle personality, why did he look so terrible just now?" After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't figure it out, and in the end he could only blame Lu Shengyuan on his expressionless face at that time.
