Chapter 109: Pinch Your Fingers
Linxi Town, located in the Iron Blood Mountain only fifty miles of road, is the only way to pass after the Iron Blood Main Gate comes out, and its location is exactly in the shape of a T-shaped with the Iron Blood Mountain. It was late afternoon when the two of them left the Iron Blood Gate, and they walked for three hours on foot, until nightfall, when they found an inn in the town of Linxi to rest for a while.
The scale of Linxi Town is not large, so naturally it cannot be compared with Liuhua Town. Liuhua Town is located at the junction of the two countries and is the only way for passing merchants. Linxi Town is just an ordinary town, although it is built along the official road, the flow of people is still slightly inferior, and the official road that crosses Linxi Town has become the most prosperous street.
The merchants on both sides of the street are beautiful, and although it is late, the lights are still bright. Just because there were four or five villages around, it became the center of their gathering.
Although there is no luxury inn, there are three or four ordinary inns, and the two of them chose an inn that is quite pleasing to the eye, and as soon as they stepped into the threshold, the shopkeeper hurriedly ushered it up.
After being simple and polite, the two of them now found a clean table in the hall and made it, and asked for a few dishes at random, but before the dishes came, they heard a gong sound at the door.
"Dangdang. ”
"Fortune telling, fortune telling, fortune telling, unpredictable prophets, not asking for money!"
As soon as the words fell, Chen Yichen was shocked, and when he heard the voice, it was like Ni Shuzi, and he turned his head to look at the door. Sure enough, Ni Shuzi was holding a large pepper stick and was about to step into the inn.
"Oops. What are you doing?" Before his feet landed, the shopkeeper had already rushed up, stopped him, and said, "It's called Hanako, I'm in the wrong place, this is an inn restaurant, not a tattered market, let's go, hurry up." ”
"Hehe, boy, the dog looks down on people, there are people in there who want to tell the hexagram. Ni Shuzi didn't care at all, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Hurry up and let me in, the food will come up immediately, don't delay me to eat." ”
"Hey, you old man is interesting, if you want food, you want food, and under the guise of fortune-telling, you see who takes care of you inside, hurry up, go to the back door, I'll get you some leftovers." ”
"Little second brother, let him in. Chen Yichen stood up, strode to the door, motioned to the shopkeeper to let him in, respectfully let Ni Shuzi to his seat, and said, "Senior Ni, why did you go in such a hurry, please come in, please take a seat." ”
Seeing this, the shopkeeper was also interested, hurriedly took a pair of dishes and chopsticks, put them on the table, and said with a smile on his face: "Look at my stinky mouth, you adults don't care about villains." ”
"Gotta have it, adults don't care about villains, you see, I'm right, the meal is here. Ni Shuzi couldn't help but roll his eyes, raised his nose to smell it, and said, "It's so fragrant." ”
"What do the seniors want to eat? Chen Yichen poured a glass of wine and gently sent it to Ni Shuzi, to this day, he doesn't know whether the person in front of him is really blind or false.
"I'm really hungry. Ni Shuzi accurately picked up the wine glass, drank it all, turned his head and said to the shopkeeper: "It depends on the situation, you definitely don't have the delicacies of the mountains and seas here, so let's have a few vegetarian dishes." ”
"You're right, there are really no delicacies from the mountains and seas, but we are next to the mountains here, and mountain mushrooms and wild vegetables are common, otherwise you can try them?"
"Okay, then let's have a few vegetarian dishes, steamed lamb, steamed bear's paws, steamed deer tails, roasted ducks, roasted chickens, roasted geese, that's all, I'm enough." ”
After Ni Shuzi finished speaking, the shopkeeper was stunned, looked at the three people in front of him, and said, "Good guy, the name of the dish is more familiar than me, but the beggar, how can you see that these dishes are vegetarian?"
"Tell me where you can tell me that I'm a beggar?" Ni Shuzi turned his head, rolled his eyes and stared at the shopkeeper, and said, "If you dress like a beggar, it must be a beggar?"
"Look at my foul mouth. The shopkeeper slapped him lightly in the face, made a crisp sound, and said: "This uncle, you give the little finger to the lively, as far as you say these few vegetarian dishes, the little one will be killed by them when he goes to the back kitchen." ”
"Less nonsense, use green onions for the pot! ”
"Come on, use green onions for the pot!"
The shopkeeper turned around and left without saying anything, and then looked at Chen Yichen, who was also amused by Ni Shuzi, and said with a smile: "Senior Ni, why are you here?"
"Of course, I am waiting for Chen's master. Ni Shuzi ignored the two of them, directly reached out and grabbed the balls on the plate, and ate them by himself.
"How did Senior Ni know that I was here?" Chen Yichen looked confused, looking at Ni Lizi's eating appearance, he really couldn't raise his appetite.
"Pinch your fingers. Ni Shuzi stretched out his oily hand, gestured a few times in front of him, and said: "Ni Shuzi remembers the first time I met Master Chen, there seemed to be a girl, why are you the only one left now?"
"She..."Hearing Ni Shuzi's words, Chen Yichen's face immediately sank, endured the twitches in his heart, and said slowly: "Wan'er has been killed by a traitor and died in Huangquan?"
"What?" Ni Shuzi's hand that had just grabbed the ball suddenly came down, and the ball fell on the table, and after rolling a few times, it snapped and fell to the ground.
"No way, I've done it for her, she's not short-lived. Ni Shuzi frowned slightly, slowly raised his right hand, his thumb kept moving on a few fingernails, and he muttered in his mouth that he didn't know what he was saying.
"What is he doing?"
As soon as Bai Jingyu spoke, Chen Yichen immediately made a shushing gesture and glared at Ni Shuzi. Although Chen Yichen had never told his fate, of course, he didn't believe in fate, even so, he still didn't dare to disturb Ni Shuzi.
"Strange!" Ni Shuzi sighed lightly, causing Chen Yichen's heart to jump out of his throat, only to see Ni Shuzi's brows tightly locked, and his thumb continued to pinch on his four fingers.
"Tell me the girl's birthday. ”
Hearing Ni Shuzi's words, Chen Yichen didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately informed Li Wanwan's birthday.
With half a cup of tea, Ni Shuzi took a long breath and said slowly: "No, no matter how you count her, she is not a short-lived person." Why did that girl die?"
"Falling into a cliff. When he said these four words, Chen Yichen was gritting his teeth so much.
"Who was killed?"
Facing Ni Shuzi's questioning, Chen Yichen shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
"You don't know?" Ni Shuzi pondered for a moment and said, "You want to avenge her on this trip?"
"Yes. Chen Yichen nodded, with a resolute expression.
"You don't even know the murderer, who are you looking for revenge?" Ni Shuzi snorted coldly and ate to himself again.
"I know a man who probably knows the clues, and it started because of him. ”
As soon as Chen Yichen's voice fell, he heard Ni Shuzi say vaguely: "Are you talking about Shang Mingzhi?"
"Seniors can even calculate these?" If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, Chen Yichen would have found it hard to believe that Ni Shuzi could even calculate these?
"Who told you it was calculated. Ni Shuzi ripped off the chicken leg, pointed at his head with the chicken leg, and said, "It's just a guess." ”
"Guess?" Chen Yichen felt more and more that the Ni Shuzi in front of him was unfathomable, and asked: "How can the seniors guess that the person the younger generation is looking for is Shang Mingzhi?"
"Oh, your brain is really as Fei Wu said, Xiao Er, come and make up for him. Ni Shuzi picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and said: "That day, you rushed up when you saw Shang Mingzhi in Gufeng Ridge, and later you discussed this matter in the Iron Blood Hall. ”
"I see!" Listening to Ni Shuzi's words, Chen Yichen suddenly realized.
"Boy, listen to me, it doesn't make much sense to find Shang Mingzhi now, not to mention what year and month it will take to find it, I'm afraid that even if you find Shang Mingzhi, he won't tell you about it. ”
