122. Meet He Lao
The lower nine has always been a derogatory term, it is a contempt for some professions in the old era, such as actors, thieves, matchmakers, prostitutes, etc., the so-called nine is just a general term, not that there are only nine professions.
Lin Shen probably knew what kind of person He Lao was from Qin Sheng's description, thought about it, and said to Qin Sheng: "Then I'll go out and buy some good wine." ”
"Okay, He Lao likes this bite the most."
Lin Shen drove out for a spin, bought six bottles of 52-degree Moutai puree, and returned to Qin's noodle restaurant at seven o'clock.
Qin Sheng had already closed and was coaxing Xiao Nian to do his homework, and after a while, He Lao also came to the door with a pot of wine.
"He Lao, you are quite old, right?" Lin Shen greeted politely.
He Lao's wrinkled face turned into a chrysanthemum, "Young man, it's you." ”
Lin Shen noticed that although He Lao's attitude was still eager, there was a ray of awe-inspiring light flashing in his eyes. At that moment, He Lao didn't look like a gray-haired old man at all, and a chilling murderous aura flashed.
Lin Shen glanced at Qin Sheng secretly, and Qin Sheng also frowned and shook his head slightly.
Lin Shen understood what Qin Sheng meant, Qin Sheng didn't mention his purpose to He Lao, so why did He Lao behave like this? I suddenly remembered the last time I caught the two people in Han Boxing, I sensed being spied on.
Perhaps, there is something old among the peeping people.
"He Lao, it's cold outside, please come in." Qin Sheng laughed heartily.
The noodle restaurant had already set up a table, and there were a few kinds of fish, meat, and vegetables on it, He Lao looked at it and asked, "Where is Xiao Nian's little girl?" ”
Qin Sheng said: "Write your homework in the back, come, let's sit." ”
He Lao nodded and sat down, and Lin Shen also achieved his position.
While eating and chatting, mainly Qin Sheng and He Lao were chatting, Lin Shen made a timely conciliation, but the atmosphere was harmonious. After a while, the pot of wine brought by He Lao was drunk.
He Lao smacked his lips as if he hadn't drunk enough, but in fact, the pot of wine he brought was light enough, obviously the kind of cheap wine on the bad street.
Lin Shen smiled and said, "Try my this." ”
He went to the car and brought three bottles of puree, opened them all at once, and poured wine for He Lao.
Qin Sheng sniffed it and shouted good wine, and He Lao also swallowed hard.
Qin Sheng said: "Old He, I invite you to come this time, in addition to thanking you, there is something I want to trouble you." ”
Lin Shen said lightly: "Actually, I want to trouble He Lao." ”
After drinking a cup of puree, He Lao seemed to be a little drunk, staring at Lin Shen with cloudy eyes, and said for a long time: "What's the matter?" ”
Lin Shen took out the picture of the mysterious old man and pushed it towards He Lao against the table.
"He Lao, do you know this person, can you tell me who he is and where he is now?"
He Lao's pupils contracted in an instant, like the tip of a needle, and instantly shot out a sharp eye.
Qin Sheng hurriedly said: "Old He, don't be excited. ”
Lin Shen looked at He Lao quietly, as plain as water, as if he could contain all things. Although He Lao's vision was sharp, he couldn't shake Lin Shen at all.
"Alas, sure enough, I'm afraid of being young, I'm old, I'm useless!" After about half a minute, He Lao's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he changed from a sharp knife back to an ordinary old man.
Lin Shen smiled and said, "Where, you are old and strong." ”
"That's it, that's it." Qin Sheng, who breathed a sigh of relief, echoed, he was really a little distressed just now, what should he do if Lin Shen started a war with He Lao.
He Lao gently picked up the photo, looked at it for a while, and suddenly showed a painful look, and said calmly: "Old man, more than 30 years of friendship, the brother killed in the rain of knives and arrows, you just abandoned it so casually?" ”
Lin Shen could see that He Lao was abnormal, something very serious must have happened to He Lao, and this matter must have happened recently, because Qin Sheng had seen the mysterious old man half a month ago.
However, Lin Shen and Qin Sheng didn't speak, they wanted to calm He Lao himself.
He Lao was calm and fast, casually threw the picture back on the table, picked up the wine bottle, and poured a bottle of wine into it.
"Cool! It's been a long time since I've drunk it so happily! ”
Lin Shen took another bottle of wine and handed it over, "If you like it, drink more." ”
He Lao shook his head, as if he was a little drunk.
"Young man, you should have some guesses about my identity, right?"
Lin Shen said lightly: "Heroes don't ask where they come from, no matter where their friends come from." ”
He Lao's drunken eyes suddenly flashed, and Lin Shen was slightly taken aback, this skill was by no means the point that He Lao exposed on the surface.
"Okay, I hope you can do what you say, don't be like some miscellaneous things, and then turn your face ruthlessly after taking a step to the sky through someone else's shoulder." When he said this, He Lao looked a little sad.
Lin Shen silently raised his wine glass and touched it with He Lao, who raised his neck and drank it to the sky.
"Cool!"
With a loud shout, He Lao said: "Young man, you invited me to drink, I am very grateful to you." But what you asked, Boss Chen gave a gag order, I can't say more. But I can tell you that if you want to know something, you'll have to meet Boss Chen in person. ”
"Boss Chen?" Lin Shen asked puzzled.
"What, forgot? You saw it last time. ”
Lin Shen turned his head and remembered the old man Chen who looked very kind, but he didn't expect it to be the boss of the Valley of the Wicked. If you look at it this way, last time I felt that Chen Lao was an acquired quadruple realm, and I must have been wrong.
These old people may have passed their peak, but each of them has their own specialty.
"No problem." Lin Shen agreed without hesitation, "When are we leaving?" ”
"This matter is urgent." He Lao said with a deep look in his eyes: "Do you know the hand-joining ceremony on the Northern Zhili Road? ”
Lin Shen nodded and said, "I know, it is a kind of etiquette for the late students to meet their elders, and later, it was also used as a rule for some big people to open their doors to meet guests." ”
"Yes, if you want to see Elder Chen, you have to follow the rules of the hand ceremony. Young man, we are old, and some habits may be annoying, but they are the most important thing for us. Also, you have to prepare, Chen Lao is not an ordinary person. He Lao said as he showed a look of remembrance.
Lin Shen smiled: "This is how it should be, and there should indeed be these respects for seniors." Just do what you always say, when it's ready, you tell Brother Qin, I'm waiting for you at any time. ”
He Lao smiled, staggered to his feet, and took Lin Shen's bottle of wine away, Qin Sheng hesitated, chased over and stuffed his bottle of wine to He Lao.
He Lao paused for a moment and looked at Qin Sheng, who grinned.
He Lao nodded to Qin Sheng and left without any stay.
