Chapter 159: An Embarrassment of Life
Liyun County, Shenshui Street.
The woman in the blue dress and the girl's hair bun hung her head down, with a remorseful expression on her face, and not far behind her, the woman in the pink dress, veiled, followed the woman in the blue dress unhurriedly.
The two walked for a long time, and they didn't mean to stop, and finally the girl who walked in front couldn't help but stop, and accused the woman in pink with a painful face.
"Ruoshui, I really suspect that you deliberately lost to that fat man in the last hand."
That's right, these two people are Qiu Moli and Ruoshui, out of Ciyun County, Qiu Moli completely let go of herself, there is no medicine to change the color of her pupils here, she generously let her eyes be exposed in front of everyone, doesn't it mean that the most dangerous place is the safest place? But Ruoshui seems to have changed as a person, not only is he veiled, but even the inn has to live with Qiu Moli alone.
However, these are just small fights, the most shameful thing for the two is that it only took three days to get to Liyun County, but they were forced to go for half a month, that is, it is already the beginning of March, it is estimated that at this rate, the sea of flowers in March will not be able to look at Xianxia, and the remnant sea is about the same, but Qiu Moli still decided to go in the direction of Xianxia, because she likes Xianxia's spirit grass recently, maybe she can go to Xianxia's Lingshan to see, of course, in the middle, She and Ruoshui still need to go to Lingwu City to see the legendary martial arts conference.
The legendary martial arts conference brings together the strongest talents in the martial arts of the four countries, and all kinds of strange treasures, and the first martial arts will enter the Lingwu City. Command the world. Qiu Moli, who competed in martial arts or not, didn't care at all, all she cared about was the various treasures that were brought to Lingwu City by those heroes by the way.
But the plan is to return to the plan, Qiu Moli and Ruoshui are not fuel-efficient lamps. only arrived in Liyun County, but after a moment's effort, the two found a casino with a lot of people and gambled.
As for the reason for the two of them gambling money, it is also funny, Qiu Moli gambled because he wanted to turn his 1,300 taels into 13,000 taels, who knew that the strong had their own strong players. People are unlucky, and even the sieve is against themselves. Compared with Qiu Moli's lack of greed, Ruoshui's reason is just to see and see the true face of the so-called man's paradise - the casino.
"I remember you said you were going to press it all down." Ruoshui shot back unceremoniously.
The expression on Qiu Moli's face became more and more miserable, and she pursed the corners of her mouth. Speak to yourself in a voice that you can only hear. "Hey, I knew that I had chopped off my own hand at that time, and it was better than having an empty purse now."
Ruoshui curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "You can go to the buster." Take the monkey at the inn who can only eat. ”
Speaking of Toto. The expression on Qiu Moli's face immediately changed, indeed, if what Shui said was right, Duoduo would only eat and howl, and she was convinced of this monkey who was more difficult to serve than a human.
"Forget it, let's go back!" Qiu Moli shook her head helplessly, wealth was not up to her. It's a big deal, she really took Duoduo to go to the buster. and will not starve themselves to death.
Just as he was about to return to the inn, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly rushed out from the corner of the street not far away, and surrounded the two in the blink of an eye.
"That's right, it's them, arrest me." The man in the fast catcher shirt pointed at Qiu Moli and began to shout.
Qiu Moli made an expression that was more ugly than crying, "Isn't it, you were caught like this?" ”
"Your man is really persevering." Ruoshui made a defensive posture, and then protected Qiu Moli tightly behind him, but he still didn't forget to mock Qiu Moli on his lips.
"Bah, what do you call me a man? I have nothing to do with him anymore, if you want to talk nonsense again, let's go our separate ways, you take your single-plank bridge, and I will cross my Yangguan Road. ”
"Okay, I'll go, these people, you, come, should, pay." Ruoshui hooked the corners of his mouth, said word by word, and then made a gesture to use light power to leave this place.
"Don't, Sister Ruoshui, Ruoshui Beauty." Qiu Moli hugged Ruoshui, what are you kidding, she can cope with these catches? She doesn't have martial arts now, so she is not the opponent of these fast catches at all, even if she uses poison, it is difficult to keep anyone blind from using a knife against herself.
Ruoshui heard Qiu Moli call him sister, his body couldn't help but tremble, and a wonderful feeling came to his heart, as if he had finally found something that he had been searching for for many years, Ruoshui told himself that the person in front of him was not related to him, maybe as Qiu Nan said, this person was none other than a descendant of Honggu, and it was the biggest move under the Holy Palace.
Ruoshui unconsciously took a step back, and then gently pushed Qiu Moli away from his arms, "I don't like others to get too close to me. ”
Qiu Moli had already understood Ruoshui's directness, but he was directly pushed by her like this, and he still seemed to be a little sad in his heart.
"Yes, it's them, they stole our master's money bag in the casino, Xing Zhutou wants to get justice for my master."
What the? Pocketbook! People who are not Xuan Zixu, people who suddenly speak, and things mentioned immediately make Qiu Moli regain his spirit, that is to say, these people who are not Xuan Zixu can still continue to roam the rivers and lakes freely?
Qiu Moli looked at the person who made the sound, the appearance of the thief's rat eyes, it was not a good thing at first glance, and this person seemed to have seen it somewhere.
"The guy under the casino owner just now." Ruoshui reminded.
Ruoshui has excellent hearing, as long as she says a word in front of her, no matter how long it takes, she can accurately distinguish whether that person is known by herself, or has seen it, just this person, when Qiu Moli and himself left, said that the owner of their casino, want to invite the two of them to work in the casino, and the monthly money is twenty taels of silver, even if it is not a person who mixes the rivers and lakes, Ruoshui also understands the meaning of that person's words, who will work in the casino in a normal girl's family?
"It's said that the casino is mixed, and that's right, but Miss Ben is curious, whether this government wants to turn a blind eye or arrest us personally."
The leader of the catcher quickly looked at Qiu Moli's face, and then looked at Ruoshui, as if he was frightened, and turned around. It was a slap in the face to the man who told them to arrest them.
"I said Qin Asan, you are not sick, the girl is polite and polite. Will steal your boss's money? I don't think you bastards have done something nasty! ”
The person known as Qin Asan was slapped and looked at Xing Zhutou sluggishly, obviously he had already discussed it before he came, as long as he helped catch these two women, their boss would send money to the yamen. "Xing Zhutou, no, we just talked about it......"
It's not over yet. Xing Zhutou raised his right hand, and it was another slap, which made Qin A's eyes glow.
Qiu Moli looked at Xing Zhutou, who had already slapped Qin Asan twice, inexplicably. looked back at Ruoshui again, and saw that Ruoshui was also confused, and Qiu Moli became more and more confused.
What's going on here?
In the end, Qin Asan had no choice but to cry bitterly. "Xing catches the head. I was wrong. What do you have to do with our boss, he said that he wants to sell these two girls to a brothel, and it has nothing to do with me......"
As soon as the words fell, the expression on Xing Zhutou's face immediately changed, and at this time, Xing Zhutou secretly looked at Qiu Moli's face, and saw that it was still as usual, and his hanging heart was put down.
"Someone. Boss Qin of Qin Kee Casino tried to abduct a good housewife...... Girl, now according to the law of the Great Zhou, Boss Qin needs to be brought back to the yamen for interrogation. Everyone came with me to Qin Ji to catch Boss Qin. ”
As soon as Xing Zhutou's voice fell, all the catchers who had surrounded Qiu Moli dispersed, and went in the direction where Qiu Moli and Ruoshui had just left, and even that Qin Asan was dragged away together, leaving Ruoshui with a sluggish and mysterious smile.
Half-ringing, Qiu Moli smiled awkwardly. "Hehe, this Liyun County's catch is really good."
Ruoshui restrained the smile on his face, and then shook his head helplessly, this matter, maybe Qiu Moli can't understand it, perhaps, Qiu Moli's road to the rivers and lakes will end soon.
……
……
"Master, I have found my wife, and now in Liyun County, there is news from Xing Zhutou in Liyun County, saying that there is a casino owner over there who wants to sell his wife to a brothel......"
Before the dark guard finished speaking, the teacup in Xuan Zixu's hand was crushed to pieces.
"Kill!"
Xuan Zixu said this sentence without emotion, and then picked up another teacup like a person who had nothing to do, and continued to drink.
But the secret guard below knew that Xuan Zixu was angry at this time, and he didn't dare to guarantee it before, but what he could be sure of now was that the entire four countries, if they dared to move Mrs., they would be looking for death.
"Yes, my subordinates found out that Mrs. was going to Lingwu City to participate in the martial arts conference, did you bring Mrs. back before this?"
"Forget it, let her play if she wants to play, as long as she is safe, and she will come back when she gets tired of playing." When Xuan Zixu said this, he was actually comforting himself, Qiu Mo's temperament, he already knew very well, and it was more difficult to let her come back obediently than to ascend to the sky.
But instead of forcing her back and locking her up in the General's Mansion for the rest of his life, he would rather Qiu Moli tell himself one day that she was tired and wanted to go back to the General's Mansion.
Ah Li, I'll wait until this day, right?
Qiu Moli, who was far away in Liyun County, couldn't help but sneeze, and after that, she couldn't help but scold. "It must be Xuan Zixu scolding me, this man is so stingy, didn't he just run away in advance?"
Ruoshui looked at Qiu Moli with interest and quipped, "Why do you think it's Xuanzi who scolds you, not someone else." ”
Qiu Moli rolled his eyes, "Except for him, no one in the world will scold me." ”
"Oh, wouldn't that be what Renhime's?" Half a month is enough time for Qiu Moli to tell Ruoshui most of his stories, and Ruoshui also told some things about the Holy Palace in a good-natured manner, but they didn't mention the secrets in their hearts to each other.
"Of course not, that woman just wants to kill me." Qiu Moli shrugged helplessly, in this case, she didn't need to use her brain at all to know the result, she didn't have to guess.
If the water just laughs and doesn't answer, the bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused, maybe Qiu Moli has to jump out of this circle to understand what he wants!
"By the way, Ruoshui, you said that there is no entanglement, how are we going to go to Lingwu City, it is impossible to really go to the street show!" Qiu Moli weighed his neck and asked a little uneasily.
"Don't worry, at most there will be someone tomorrow morning to send us the coils we need."
When Ruoshui said this, with a certain confidence, since people have already found it, they will inevitably understand what Qiu Moli needs at this time, but she guesses that the reason why Xuanzixu has not done it for a long time is that she wants Qiu Moli to play for a while.
"Then I'll see if Ruoshui's self-confidence will become a reality." Qiu Moli nodded, then stood up and said to Ruoshui. "You can rest first! I'll go out and run some errands first. ”
"Yes!"
Qiu Moli's so-called errand is to understand the situation in the surrounding Liyun County, by the way, how to go to Lingwu City next, the route and so on, she must figure it out, three days of walking for fifteen days, this kind of thing, one occurrence is enough, if it happens again, it is estimated that she can also die.
Different from the quietness of Ciyun County, Liyun County is closer to the border of Xianxia, so it is not as lively as it is, even if it is close to dusk, this liveliness has not diminished at all.
"Hey, have you heard? Another one died last night. ”
"Yes, that person, I know, Boss Liu, who opened a rouge shop in the east of the city, heard that his stomach was dissected, and his death was extremely tragic."
"Hey, count this, it's the eighth this year, and the government doesn't know what's going on, and keeps saying that the murderer can't be caught, so how can we people rest assured that they can sleep at night!"
"Yes, yes, but fortunately, that murderer only killed the owners of those shops in the city for the time being, and if it was us ordinary people, I don't know what to do."
"But I heard that the government's reward for arresting the murderer has risen to three hundred taels, do you think anyone will catch that person?"
Several elderly aunts beside them gathered together and whispered about what had happened in Liyun County recently, although they tried their best to lower their voices, but judging from the distance between Qiu Moli and them, they could hear what they said.
Three hundred taels bounty? It seems that it is enough to go to Lingwu City.
So Qiu Moli pointed to the shoulder of one of them, "Madame, what are you talking about?" What does it mean to die again? ”
Several women saw that Qiu Moli looked very raw, and he was not dressed like a person from Liyun County, and his eyes were very obviously red, so they reminded.
"Girl, I just came to Liyun County, tell you, leave quickly, Liyun County has been quiet recently, eight of them have died, and they have all been stabbed several times, and the death is tragic......"
"Ah, doesn't the government care?" Qiu Moli deliberately made a scared look and looked at the few people who were chatting.
"Hey, don't say it, now the government doesn't care about doing things at all, eight people died in a row, and the government didn't even touch the figure, except for taking out three hundred taels as a bounty for the murderer, there is nothing, it's going to be dark soon, and I don't know who is going to die tonight." One of the women who looked like she was next to her shook her head, because the officials were unkind, and they didn't know how to solve things for the people, hey, Liyun County was afraid that it would be defeated in their hands.
"That's it!" Qiu Mo nodded clearly, the three hundred taels, she was decided. (To be continued.) )
