Chapter 13 Skillfully set up a bureau to explore the true heart of the tomb robber
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Du Yuesheng casually found an excuse to leave.
These days, he's busy day and night upside down.
The situation in the concession is unpredictable, and the imperial powers have changed their methods to make up demon moths, which were already a sure thing, but now because of the students' troubles, the plan has been messed up.
The chief surnamed Ma recently came to the door to discuss the handling of the May Bloody Case, and he took over the stubble. Although the brothers below were reluctant, he saw the benefits better than anyone else.
Regarding Tang Ming's matter, he didn't want to continue to sit still, so he relied on Tianjin's relationship and spent a lot of money to find four famous people who had been in retreat for a long time. One is for the treasure that Tang Ming didn't bring out in Kublai Khan's tomb, and the other is to eradicate Tang Ming!
These words, Du Yuesheng did not tell Jinhua, women will always make mistakes with women's benevolence, and she and Tang Ming are childhood sweethearts, he doesn't believe Jinhua's ruthlessness.
So far, he only has to gamble, bet on Tang Ming's affection for Jinhua, bet on Jinhua's obsession with the Rong family, he wants Jinhua to lure Tang Ming into the urn, and then catch turtles in the urn!
Jin Hua watched Du Yuesheng leave.
When Du Yuesheng went down the stairs, his movements were on the big side, his long legs kicked and flew over his robe, and the whole person looked like a leopard in ambush.
Since she came to look for her in Du, there is a kind of unspeakable anxiety in her heart.
After seeing Du leave completely, Jinhua took out the key from his bag and opened the door.
At this time, the four veteran tomb robbers were still standing behind her, and they had no intention of leaving.
Being stared at by the four of them, Jin Hua was embarrassed to be polite before entering the door: "Do you want the four of you to come in and have a hot tea?"
But to her surprise, these four really swaggered into the house with her.
Jinhua made tea, it was a new spring tea, she originally planned to make coffee, but she was afraid that the four of them would not be used to drinking it, so she made herself a cup alone.
The taste of coffee is stronger than spring tea, and the aroma of charcoal roasting is boiling in the room, and the four of them looked at the light tea in the cup in their hands, and they were a little dissatisfied with Jinhua.
The lame old man snorted first, and said in a strange manner: "It is said that women can't enter the tomb, in the end, they are petty families." ”
Jinhua paused and continued to sip his coffee. There was no panic in her eyes, as if she had not heard the lame old man's complaints.
The lame old man's blow seemed to hit cotton, and he swallowed the tea in one gulp.
The tall man next to him saw that he was in a hurry, and patted him on the back with some worry, for fear that he would choke himself with anger.
Humpty Dumpty looked at Jinhua with a smile on his face, he put the empty teacup in his hand in front of Jinhua, and was polite: "I'm tired of having another cup of coffee." ”
Jinhua took the cup, got up and boiled some more, looking at the posture of these people, she was afraid that she was going to drink coffee, and then she filled four cups of coffee, put it on the tray with a sugar cube jar and a glass of milk, and brought it out.
The lame old man's face was a little more beautiful, and he added some sugar and milk to the coffee with some arrogance, stirred it with a spoon a few times, some like a demonstration, and swallowed it in one go.
The tall man next to him was dumbfounded, and hurriedly patted the lame old man on the back.
Jinhua looked very happy, this old man was really interesting.
The lame old man was aware of Jinhua's gaze, and pushed away the tall man who patted himself on the back with some annoyance, and his old face was red with anger.
"Cripple, don't always embarrass other little girls, you have to go to the grave together, why don't you save some face?" Humpty Dumpty grinned and spoke as usual, but the tone of his speech was like sitting on a mountain and watching a tiger fight.
Jinhua glanced at Humpty Dumpty, and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
This fat man is not simple!
With that, Humpty Dumpty leaned in front of her again and pulled out the amulet he had given her outside.
"Take your pick." The fat man grinned.
"What's so important here?" Jinhua didn't reach out to take it, picked up the coffee, lowered his head and took a sip, and asked with a smile.
"It's not exquisite, it's just used to prevent villains and keep safe." The fat man is serious.
Jinhua looked at the lame old man who was staring at her nervously and stretched out his hand.
The man's eyes were about to fall, how could it be just to prevent the villain.
Just when Jinhua's fingertips were about to touch the talisman, the young man with the broken arm grabbed Jinhua with his only left hand, and the young man kept shaking his head and signaling Jinhua to stop.
Humpty Dumpty, who was still smiling like Maitreya Buddha, suddenly changed his face, and his eyes swept the young man coldly, and the young man still stubbornly blocked Jinhua. Humpty Dumpty was furious and slapped the boy in the face, and the boy was slapped by Humpty Dumpty.
Looking at the suddenly angry Humpty Dumpty, Jinhua pulled the young man behind him, this fat man, there is something weird!
Humpty Dumpty was Jinhua before they met, and his face changed to a smile again, and he handed the talisman in his hand to Jinhua again.
For some reason, Jin Hua looked at Humpty Dumpty's smiling face at this time, his whole body seemed to cover his face with cold water, and he suddenly felt fear in his heart.
When things are normal, there must be demons!
Jinhua looked at the lame old man and the tall man beside the fat man, the tall man was sitting on the sofa drinking coffee, he looked at the white porcelain cup in his hand with blank eyes, and the lame old man looked at the short and fat man with a complicated expression.
Jinhua knew a little bit in her heart, this fat man frequently seduced her, and she really had a purpose. Jinhua reached back and grabbed the young man with the broken arm behind her and blocked it, she took advantage of this kung fu to run to the door.
She tried to pull the door open, but it wouldn't move.
Humpty Dumpty, on the other hand, is getting closer and closer to her.
Humpty Dumpty had no smile at this time, Yin Tang had a jet black color, he walked towards Jinhua step by step with a cold face, his hand was stretched very long, and there were countless amulets hanging from his hand.
"Pick one."
Jinhua clinged to the door panel, hunched over and kept ramming.
But even so, Humpty Dumpty's fingertips still touched her arm, and through her clothes, Jinhua could feel the chill coming from Humpty Dumpty, the kind of bone-chilling cold similar to the snow season.
Jinhua's face turned white, she was in a hurry, opened her eyes, flew up with a kick, and kicked the crotch of Humpty Dumpty.
I saw the fat man scream twice, rolling on the ground with his hands on his crotch, howling harshly.
The fear in Jinhua's eyes gradually disappeared, and she continued to twist the handle to open the door, but the door was still as steady as a rock.
These days in the store, she is no longer the Miss Jiao of the year, she is no longer afraid, but she laughed angrily, stepped on Humpty Dumpty, and crushed Humpty Dumpty's belly with her foot.
"Stop!" At this time, the lame old man, who had been watching from the sidelines, spoke up, his voice was very rapid, and his steps were rapid, and he was not affected by the lame leg at all.
He walked towards Jinhua.
He knocked off Jinhua's leg on Humpty Dumpty's body with his cane, and at the same time slapped a yellow talisman on Humpty Dumpty's forehead, Humpty Dumpty's expression became clear, although he was still holding his crotch with both hands, but Humpty Dumpty felt completely different at this time.
The aura around Humpty Dumpty's body suddenly became cold, and it was no longer the kindness it was when they first met.
He quickly got up from the ground and stood beside the lame old man.
Jin Hua looked at the lame old man again, and saw that the lame old man's face was caged with a haze, which made the lame old man feel out of the world.
The lame old man looked at Jinhua for a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind, but he looked at Jinhua and struggled again, finally, he sighed, looked at Jinhua and asked, "Girl, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" ”
Jinhua hesitated, she saw that this old man did have some ability, but she had no plans to rob the tomb to make a living, this time she went to the tomb of Kublai Khan to learn the news of the Rong family's enemies from Du Yuesheng.
The lame old man saw Jinhua's hesitation, and he said: "Although you are talented, you have always been a girl, I didn't want to take you as an apprentice, and I couldn't bear to see your orphan girl pitiful." But girl, do you know that this is a troubled time, no matter how hard you work, you won't be able to attract financial resources. Huge wealth can only be obtained through the accumulation of predecessors or even generations. And those of us just borrowed some from these predecessors. ”
Jinhua looked at the lame old man and was silent, she knew what the lame old man said, but she knew what the lame old man was for suddenly taking her in vain, and it was not a trivial matter to make a person who was originally not used to her have to treat her closely.
But she couldn't see the lame old man's calculations clearly.
She simply looked at the lame old man and got straight to the point, she said: "The girl knows what kind of predicament you must have suffered, you speak out first, the girl will solve your problems, and it will not be too late for us to mention the apprentice." ”
The lame old man laughed, but the laughter was inexhaustible sadness, he looked at Jinhua, this time with open-mindedness and appreciation on his face, he said: "Sure enough, she is a smart girl, and the old man will talk to you bluntly." My Luo Yaozu only has one grandson, I don't know where I am, but I'm almost there, I'm afraid I won't be able to find him, he is the only bloodline of my Luo family. If you worship me as a teacher, I only ask you to find him and worship me in a hundred years. ”
After speaking, the lame old man looked directly at Jinhua with a pair of sharp eyes, as if he wanted to spy on Jinhua's mind.
Jinhua was speechless, the lame old man's entrustment was not big, and it was not small, but it was troublesome after all. But in this troubled world, this lame old man is a last resort, but how long can she live safely, the accidents in this world are uncountable, can she avenge her parents and the Rong family?
The lame old man saw Jinhua's eyes flickering, and saw her frowning and pondering, and sighed secretly in his heart. Met the eyes of the Humpty Dumpty man beside him and smiled bitterly.
At this time, Jinhua raised her head, she had decided to worship the lame old man as a teacher, she knew that she was obsessed with revenge, but she had no power to protect herself, since the lame old man had the heart to accept her as an apprentice, why didn't she accept it happily, besides, she would be able to quickly accumulate wealth and revive the Rong family!
She persuaded herself over and over again in her heart that since ancient times, tomb robbing has been a profession that everyone has shouted and beaten since ancient times, and tomb robbers not only hurt yin morality, eliminate luck, and even bring disaster to children and grandchildren. However, the future is unknown, in this era of ups and downs, who can grasp the fate, fate is their own choice and struggle, if you don't give it a try, how do you know that you can't do it, besides, you are borrowing, and you will return it in the future
"The master is above, and he is worshiped by the apprentice." Jinhua raised his hands flat and bowed to the lame old man.
Although the lame old man regretted that Jinhua was not a man, he still couldn't close his mouth happily, and he groped around his neck to take off a delicate pure gold small square seal pendant and brought it to Jinhua.
After that, he straightened his face and said to Jinhua with a stern face: "Fangcai, you have seen Humpty Dumpty mutation, he was poisoned by the corpse, probably possessed by the ghost of the dead brother, and many of us died in this line of corpse poison, I once worshipped a master as a teacher, and learned some ways to cultivate immortals, although I don't know if I can cultivate immortals, but it is beneficial to strengthen the body, I wrote these down on paper, and now it has been compiled into a book, on which there are some five elements of gossip to survey the method of feng shui, and there is also a way to investigate weather changes and listen to the sound of the tomb, There are also some of my early experiences of tomb robbing. It must have helped you somewhat, but if you can find my grandson, I hope you can give him this book. ”
Jinhua nodded in agreement and took the handwritten book from the lame old man's hand. Thinking of the lame old man's entrustment, she had a hundred feelings in her heart.
The lame old man was so sincere to Jinhua, and regarded her as his hope to find his grandson, and when he looked at Jinhua again, there was even more love in his eyes.
With a wave of his hand, he summoned the tall, thin man and the one-armed boy to the pile of amulets in Humpty Dumpty's hand, and then knelt down.
He kowtowed to the tall and thin man, the one-armed boy, and the Humpty Dumpty man, and then to the pile of amulets, and said, "We have robbed many tombs over the years, and I have always protected my own lives with the lives of my brothers, and even cut off the tongue of my broken arm, I am sorry for you, and even more sorry for these dead brothers." But my limit is approaching, and now I have accepted this girl as an apprentice, and I have no face to ask you, but I still hope that you can treat her as your own apprentice and help her. As he spoke, he kowtowed again and couldn't afford it for a long time.
The tall and thin man and the one-armed boy dragged him up, and the one-armed boy hugged him tightly, and then gestured with his hand, and the tall and thin man translated on the side, and the boy said, You saved my whole family's life that day, and my life is yours.
The lame old man's eyes were wet, and he was already in his prime, crying like a child.
Jinhua's nose was sour, but she quickly calmed down.
The poor man must have something to hate, and the reason why the lame old man has such a day is also the path he chooses himself. It's just that she doesn't know if she will follow the path of the one-armed old man in order to survive.
