Chapter 90: The Treasurer
Shopkeeper Tong took a sip of tea, and raised his eyes to look at Xianchen with the teacup, "Sister, I have heard all the rumors in the market, Brother Tong asked you, did you come back to Jiguo this time to avenge your mother?" ”
Shopkeeper Tong really has a rough man's face, but he has a seven-trick exquisite heart, and he guessed Xianchen's mind as soon as he came.
Also, if Xianchen hadn't been for revenge, she wouldn't have made herself ugly and silly when she returned to Ran Mansion, and made so many things, didn't all the things she did tell the world that she was taking revenge on Ran Mansion?
This topic is a bit heavy, and the air around it seems to be solemn, "yes" Xian Chen's explanation is not too much, and the short word is categorical and sonorous.
Shopkeeper Tong put down the teacup, looked at Xianchen for a moment, and could see that this girl's determination was not small, "Sister, no matter what you do, Brother Tong, I will support you unconditionally, you remember, Ji Guo's 'Xianhe Tower' is your rear, it is your home, if you are tired and tired, you will go home to rest." ”
Xianchen's eyes were instantly filled with tears, which were tears of gratitude born from being cared for; It is also a painful tear born because of the coldness of relatives; It was because of her grandmother's plea, and the helpless tears that were born, multiple tears converged, and it should have been a trickle across Xianchen's face, but she saw that she cut off this trickle in her eyes.
Grandmother's words lingered in Xian Chen's ears, "Chen'er, for grandmother, you and they are grandmother's relatives, and the palms and backs of your hands are meat!" ……”
Grandmother's sad face appeared in front of Xian Chen's eyes, and bean-sized tears fell on her grandmother's wrinkled, ravine-ridden face.
Xianchen couldn't bear it, and she was unwilling, she picked up the tea in her hand, drank it as wine, and squeezed out two words with difficulty, "Thank you." ”
The shopkeeper Tong also looked at Xianchen with a complicated expression, if the enemy is someone else, the enemy is understandable, but the enemy is a close relative, and the revenge and the injury are all the girl in front of him.
"Sister, Brother Tong has to remind you, your enemy is your father and your second mother, if this revenge is not good to hurt yourself and be sad, it will also attract the truth, saying that you are not filial piety, and you are cruel to your relatives, you need to be cautious, don't mess around."
Xian Chen's heart is more bitter than Coptis chinensis, Tong Shopkeeper's words are like knives and arrows stabbing Xian Chen's heart, if the enemy is someone else, she would have stabbed down a long time ago, and asked for the enemy's head, but the enemy is a family member, a relative, how can she repay this revenge?
Before returning home, she felt that she could completely ignore the worthless family affection in Ran's house, but after returning to the house, she found that she was still thinking about her grandmother in her heart, and she couldn't bear to do all the things that made her grandmother sad.
"Brother Tong, your tea is good, the tea strips are stout, there are no insect eyes, the oil is moist and shiny, the cinnabar is bright red, and the leaves are good leaves; The color of the soup is as smooth as jade, crystal clear, and the soup is a good soup; The taste is sweet and delicious, the lips and teeth are fragrant, and the aftertaste lingers around the tongue, which is the best 'Phoenix Single'; but I don't want to drink tea now, I want to drink, are you willing to drink with me? ”
The shopkeeper Tong knew that Xian Chen's heart was bitter, before he came to Ji Guo, he felt that Xian Chen's practice was too hard, yes, it was desperate, people practiced hard, she was desperate, at that time he didn't know why Xian Chen practiced martial arts so hard, reading medical books on his back, and now he understood.
The second lady in Ran's mansion is from a medical family, begging for a life under the nose of a person who is good at medicine and understands medicine, how can she survive if she doesn't know how to do medicine, and how can she survive if she doesn't know how to protect herself?
"Okay, if you want the drunken boy to accompany you."
Tong Shopkeeper, formerly known as Tong Biao, is the chief disciple of Uncle Dao, the big shopkeeper of the "Xianyun Yehe" Building in Xiancheng.
Uncle Dao's name is far away, everyone knows that he is the leader of the catering industry in the ten countries of the continent, the big shopkeeper of the "Xianyun Yehe" building in Xiancheng, he can make a beautiful soup, and the Buddha jumping over the wall he makes is unparalleled in the world, but few people know that Uncle Dao has another identity, that is, the heir of the famous moon knife on the rivers and lakes.
Uncle Dao is a moon knife, bent like the moon, cold like frost, the moonlight is bright and the knife is shining, the knife is surging, the knife falls and the clouds see the sun, and the knife is unparalleled.
Xian Chen's kung fu is also learned from Uncle Dao, which is why Xian Chen's weapon is a knife.
Xian Chen's medical skills were learned from the owner of Xian Zhuang Village, and her swordsmanship was also that of the Bishop of Xian Zhuang Village, but compared with the swordsmanship of the owner of the village and the medical skills of the Zhuang owner, the swordsmanship was very, very ordinary, so Xian Chen pestered Uncle Dao to learn knife skills.
The owner of Xianzhuang and Uncle Dao are friends, seeing that his disciples insist on learning knife skills, the owner of Xianzhuang personally found Uncle Dao to teach Uncle Dao to teach Xianchen martial arts and knife skills, Uncle Dao also likes Xianchen, and feels that she is a material for practicing martial arts, so he unreservedly taught her his own kung fu.
Xianchen is the apprentice of the owner, and Uncle Dao has not been able to get the entrance to Xianchen, otherwise, the shopkeeper in front of him should be the senior brother of Xianchen.
Xianchen studied medicine by the side of the owner of Xianzhuang during the day, and practiced kung fu with Uncle Dao at night, every day the chicken did not crow and saw her reciting medical books, and the dog was asleep She was still practicing, I heard that for a long time, Xianchen slept for less than two hours every day.
The bitterness of the fine dust, the shopkeeper Tong understands, he brought the best "floating drunk" in the two altar stores, opened the altar plug and handed it to the thin dust, "This wine is suitable for you, 'floating drunk' floating and drunk, like a dream, the past, all clouds and smoke, just look at the present." ”
"Well said, just look at the present, let's do it." Xian Chen raised the wine jar and touched the wine jar of the shopkeeper Tong, then raised his head and opened his mouth, held the wine jar high and poured the wine into his mouth.
Usually people who have things on their minds are not drunk, people are drunk, and they can get drunk until dawn after drinking a sip of wine, but Xianchen does not dare to get drunk, she gulps of wine, and after drinking a whole jar of arrogant words, "Happy!" Then he did not ask for a second altar.
Xian Chen wiped away the wine spilled on his face, looked at Shopkeeper Tong sharply, and asked straight to the point: "Brother Tong, did Uncle Dao have another purpose in keeping you in Ji Guo?" ”
The shopkeeper Tong's hand holding the wine jar stiffened, and then he took a sip of wine like a nobody, and turned his head to look at Xian Chen, "How can you see it?" ”
The strength of the wine was on her head, a ball of crimson stained Xianchen's face, she seemed to be drunk and shook her head, but she could still stay awake, "I have only come to the 'Xianhe Tower' twice, and I have met the three personal disciples of Uncle Dao in addition to you, if Uncle Dao does not have other arrangements, how can he send so many personal disciples to Ji Guo, and besides, as the inheritor of his Moon Knife, you have been staying in Xiancheng, but three years ago, you were suddenly sent by Uncle Dao to Ji Guo, is it what happened to Ji Guo and Xiancheng three years ago?" ”
Shopkeeper Tong smiled happily, "Hahaha...... Sure enough, it is the descendant disciple of the owner of Xianzhuang, this insight Brother Tong admires, yes, the master gave us a task, but this task can't be told to you for the time being, this is the secret of the master and us, you just need to know that everything we do will not hurt Xiancheng, hurt the owner, and hurt the people. ”
"Is it related to my master?" The second wave of wine came up, and as soon as Xian Chen's words were asked, he got drunk, and lay on the table with a "poof".
Shopkeeper Tong glanced at Xian Chen, who was drunk on the table, and shook his head helplessly, "The amount of alcohol is still so bad, but it's much better than before, so you drank a whole jar this time." ”
Shopkeeper Tong looked at the wine jar in his hand with a smile, drank it in a few sips, and then looked at the drunk and motionless Xian Chen, and flicked it on Xian Chen's head, "Sister, it's related to your master, but the master won't let us say, my master asked us to come to Ji Guo to find a thing that the owner once lost in Ji Guo, it's been three years, I don't have a clue, it seems hopeless!" ”
"What's that?" Xian Chen immediately sat up straight, and looked at the shopkeeper Tong with bright eyes.
The shopkeeper Tong was startled, so frightened that the wine jar in his hand fell to the ground, and it took a while to come back to his senses, "Stinky girl, people are cheating to death, you are cheating drunk...... Just pretend to be drunk, you are so shocked, do you know that you are scared to death Brother Tong? ”
Shopkeeper Tong counted the dust for a long time before calming his mood.
Xian Chen smiled and listened to the counting, the two eyes turned around mischievously, flattering the shopkeeper Tong, she already knew, what was the purpose of the shopkeeper Tong's visit this time, but she didn't know what they were looking for, so she asked: "What is Brother Tong, maybe I can help you find it?" ”
Shopkeeper Tong glanced at Xian Chen, and said angrily: "I won't tell you." ”
This is the shopkeeper Tong, tight-lipped as a bottle, if Xianchen does not play some small tricks, only uses soft grinding and hard foaming, and stalking this method, he simply can't put a word in his mouth.
Since Shopkeeper Tong insisted on not saying anything, Xian Chen changed the topic and asked: "Brother Tong, do you know why my master was hunted down and killed by the Dongyin people ten years ago, and who was the person who hired the Dongyin people to hunt down her?" ”
"Hehehe...... shopkeeper Tong smiled heartily, "The little girl has really grown up, knowing that your master was hunted down and killed back then, not by mistake, it seems that you should have a share in Jiaozhou's extermination of the Dongyin people, right?" ”
"Hahaha...... Sure enough, it was Uncle Dao who asked the inheritor of the Moon Knife, and this inference made Xianchen admire. Xianchen praised her with the words of the shopkeeper Tong who had just praised her, and praised the shopkeeper Tong.
Shopkeeper Tong's next words made Xianchen completely deflated, "Ten years ago, your master had already guessed that the Dongyin people were chasing and killing her, not manslaughter, all this must have been hired by someone behind the scenes, and later she also knew who the person behind the scenes was, but she forgave that person and didn't let us investigate the matter, and then the matter was over, when you were still young, she didn't tell you the facts, when you grew up, this matter has become a thing of the past, and no one will mention it again." ”
"But my master's face was ruined, did she really forgive the real murderer behind the scenes?"
Xianchen felt a little incredible, because every time Uncle Dao saw the ruined half of his master's face, there was irrepressible pain and resentment in his eyes.
