Chapter 238: Between Fiction and Reality
Gu Xing was noncommittal, but just smiled stupidly.
Ling Ling stood aside and looked at the pair of master and servant who had "reunited after a long absence", and he didn't know what he thought, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In the narrow passage of Fang City, the noise in the oval door was still there, and it was not affected in any way, but became more and more loud.
The fifth was a little angry, and there was no meaning to continue speaking, so he slowly walked to Gu Xing's side, and carefully pulled out the flying knife that was stuck on the edge of the door.
Although his eyes were staring at Gu Xing, his hands kept moving, and he threw the flying knife into the door with his backhand.
In an instant, there was only the sound of flying knives breaking through the air in the narrow gate of Fang City, and no one spoke, falling into a deathly silence. But then the foul language and the sound of pushing the cup and changing the lamp exploded in the ears like thunder on the ground, which was deafening.
Lin Jiangxin and Jia Hongdao came late, and they didn't see the scene that happened just now, but only saw the fifth hurried in, as if they were a little annoyed, somehow.
Gu Xing rubbed his cheeks vigorously, but did not follow, but sat outside the gate of the market and was silent, but Ling Ling ignored Gu Xing's move, and later followed.
Lin Jiangxin and Jia Hongdao came to Gu Xing's side and asked with concern, "That old man named the fifth, but he annoyed you?" ”
Gu Xing raised his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "No, I'm a little tired, take a rest." ”
Lin and Jia glanced at each other, and they both saw some hidden worries in each other's eyes. But he didn't continue to ask Gu Xing about the reason, but continued to walk towards the "maverick" house.
Gu Xing's mind was full of thoughts at this time, and he deduced everything that happened in the penny village just now, and he was shocked into a cold sweat.
Since the "right and wrong in the world" courtyard, it is clear that the fifth disease and Yu Tianfeng left together and acted separately, but it was a coincidence that only the fifth disease came to keep the contract, but Yu Tianfeng seemed to evaporate from the world and disappeared without a trace.
And Lingling seems to know something, but he can't see through it, he doesn't know if he has other plans or has bitter intentions, why is that "pure land", and what are these rights and wrongs out of thin air?
Gu Xing sat on the threshold in a daze, his heart was numb.
Perhaps, just like the plaque hidden in the capital Luoyang Courtyard, there are too many disturbances in the world, so it is better to seek a quiet place.
At this time, Gu Xing, who was full of doubts in his heart, became more and more suspicious of the fifth disease. This person's appearance was sudden, but it was so appropriate, and his words shocked everyone, and he seemed to have been prepared for it.
After some traction, it seemed that he was unintentional but he was taking it step by step, and finally "gathered" a few people in the Red Dragon Road, which was clearly a net of hearts.
But something went wrong, so the plan was calculated, so at this time, is it another killer move?!
The memories of the past last night beside the giant pillar were still echoing in Gu Xing's ears, and those heartfelt words, like stars falling into the mortal world, smashed on the land of Jiuyuan, and also smashed into Gu Xing's heart lake, and the waves were turbulent.
A person stood abruptly behind Gu Xing, squatted down and patted Gu Xing's shoulder, and said softly: "Those who abandon me must not stay yesterday, and those who disturb my heart will be troubled today." ”
Gu Xing turned his head when he heard this, but saw Lin Jiangxin squatting beside him at some point, and comforted him.
The two of them are duckweed in troubled times, and they don't feel a sense of sympathy for each other. It's just that one person has not forgotten his past life, and he is moving forward with a burden in this life. One person can't think about it, but only live in the present, trying to touch the broken past.
Gu Xing gathered his thoughts, got up and stretched, and showed gratitude, "Master Lin, thank you." ”
"It's me who thank you, if you can remember, it's a beautiful thing, but if there is too much pain in the past, it's a blessing not to remember. Isn't it? Zerosmith Xin Yanbi turned around and walked through the door, and the last trace of worry in Gu Xing's heart was dissipated, and he followed.
At this time, the three people who took the lead had already found an inconspicuous low table to sit down, which did not have the luxury of other restaurants and teahouses on the main street, but had more of a market atmosphere.
Gu Xing followed Lin Jiangxin to the three of them, looked left and right, and saw that there was a lot of attention in this house, not as it was at first sight, there were some suspicions.
The inner hall, which should have been in accordance with the square rules of the old Tang Dynasty, had more high-legged stools out of thin air. The people sitting on it were all fierce and vicious, holding a seemingly unrefined but extraordinary wine glass, constantly glancing at the drinkers.
The rest of the peddlers' pawns, who sat around the low tables in the hall, turned a deaf ear to the gaze of these men. One by one, the cups were changed, and they were very happy.
In addition to the drinkers and the strange man who sat alone on a high stool, there was only one person in this house who was only two or three points like a shopkeeper and six or seven points like a little two.
When Lin Jiangxin and Gu Xing just walked into the inner hall, the man looked over, made eye contact with Gu Xing, and cast a kind gaze. It seems that he wants Gu Xing to relax, not as tight as a taut cowhide.
Then the person shuttled between the low tables, taking good care of the guests at each table. If you don't arrive, the words will go first, such as, "Wait a minute, the guest will come", "Come, serve the wine", "You drink slowly, the wine is enough", "The kitchen is slippery, serve the food" and so on.
Every sentence is right for the temper of the guests at that table, and if it hadn't been soaked for many years, it would never have been so leaky.
Before Gu Xing sat down and said a word, the man trotted over, passed by a few tables and said hello three times, put down four pots of new wine, brought five plates of sauce beef, and did not forget to put a smile on his face when he parted, eating and drinking well.
When Gu Xingzheng was surprised, the man's pleasing face came up. Gu Xing only saw clearly at this time that this person was born well, his face was white, and he was very old in the alleys of the market "close to the ink black", but he came out of the mud without staining, which seemed incompatible with this realm.
Especially the cinnabar mole in the center of the eyebrows, if it is placed in the official eunuch's house, when the marriage is to be married, it is not the master of the matchmaker stepping through the threshold.
It's just that the fate is ill-fated, and the creation makes people, this young man who should be rich and noble, but he has fallen here, and he doesn't feel a little regretful. Gu Xing remembered his bumpy life experience, and he was sad again.
What a wonderful person that young man is, how powerful he is to observe his words and expressions, and seeing that Gu Xing's eyebrows are a little gloomy, he said: "Little brother, why bother, it's better to drink a pot of wine among the flowers, and you can forget the bad things." ”
After speaking, he looked at the others, and the other four people in the audience all greeted them one by one. When he looked at Lingling, the young man unconsciously admired: "There is such a beautiful woman in the world, it is really fortunate in the next three lives." ”
If you give this young man a costume at this time, maybe he will immediately sing the bridge of the talented and beautiful woman, and win bursts of applause.
Unexpectedly, Lingling looked indifferent, ignored the young man's praise, looked at the young man with a cold face and squinted at him, and looked like he was going to draw a knife and kill someone if he continued to talk.
The young man who had seen the wind and waves retracted his gaze, and turned to look at Jia Hongdao, which was another compliment. The words are not half greasy, but seem very sincere.
made this upright and bold Jia Hongdao's old face slightly red, and he actually looked a little drunk. The young man put down a pot of wine, poured a glass of his own opinion, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Everyone eat and drink well, if you need anything, just ask." ”
Before the words fell, the person had already left, and he had warmly greeted the other guests.
The fifth disease had regained his usual appearance at this time, and he said unconsciously: "The ordinary little two in this market alley are so knowledgeable about people and things, how big the world is, and how many strange people are hidden in this ordinary." ”
Gu Xing didn't take over the conversation, but asked inappropriately, "Fifth uncle, what is the so-called thing about bringing us here?" ”
The fifth disease drank the wine in the cup without hurrying, and tasted the taste of the wine with his eyes slightly closed, and said to himself: "Although this wine is not as good as the wine in the mansion of dignitaries, it can taste a thousand flavors in the world, wonderful, wonderful!" ”
Jia Hongdao put the wine glass in his hand heavily, although the sound was loud, it was covered by the noise, but the angry look could not be concealed. At this time, he glared at the fifth disease, rubbed his hand against the wine glass and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, old man, ask you!" ”
The fifth disease ignored Jia Hongdao, poured himself a glass of wine, and poured himself a drink.
Jia Hongdao was a little angry, and he was about to make a move, but unexpectedly, the drinkers at the low tables around him turned their heads one after another, casting unkind glances, so they had to suppress the anger in their hearts. If you don't say a word and do it at this time, I'm afraid it will fall into the hands of this person.
The fifth laughed lightly, then turned back to laugh wildly, but the laughter did not attract the attention of the drinkers around him, as if the person did not exist. After laughing, he stared at Gu Xing and said, "Young master, do you know that the situation is critical at this time. ”
"Why?" Gu Xing's heart sank, and he asked in a deep voice.
"The siege of the penny village, I'm afraid it's a good game, if the old man doesn't appear in time, I'm afraid everyone here will be in prison." The fifth disease picked up the wine glass again, raised his head and poured a sip of wine, reached out and grabbed three peanuts, threw them into his mouth, and chewed them.
Gu Xing first looked at Lin Jiangxin and Jia Hongdao, both of them were confused and nervous, lest the fifth disease suddenly attack and kill several of them on the spot.
But when Gu Xing looked at Lingling, he didn't see any nervous look on the latter's face, but looked relaxed, and was dipping his fingers in the glass of wine and putting it on his lips.
Sensing Gu Xing's gaze, he subconsciously glanced at it, like a child who was found by Mr. Private School by stealing candy, he quickly withdrew his hand and sat upright.
The fifth illness sent down the peanuts with another sip of wine, and then said with a sigh of relief: "I know that the young master is suspicious of the old man, but does the young master know why Yu Tianfeng didn't go to the appointment as scheduled?" ”
Finally, after avoiding talking about it many times, the fifth disease cut to the chase.
Gu Xing and the others were all shocked in their hearts, but Lingling looked around and turned a deaf ear.
"There are two possibilities, one of which is that Yu Tianfeng has bad intentions and has taken the opportunity to escape, hiding in the shadows and waiting for the opportunity to move. For so many years, I'm afraid the young master won't easily believe it because of that "sincere words", right? The fifth disease was so straightforward that it made Gu Xing a little stunned.
I thought that this old man would continue to cover up, and talk about him left and right, but he didn't expect to cut directly to the point, and also tell Gu Xing what he thought in his heart, how could it not be shocking.
There is no secret at all in front of this person, as if his heart has been touched thoroughly, and there is nowhere to hide.
"Naturally not." Gu Xing's heart was agitated, but there was no extra expression on his face, and he said a word of response.
The fifth person laughed loudly when he heard this, laughing and laughing and laughing into tears, making several people present look at each other. The laughter gradually lowered into the dust, but slowly turned into sobbing, what the old man had just done was very different from what he was doing now, somehow.
Gu Xing didn't know whether to say words of consolation, but it was Ling Ling who came out to relieve the siege, "Old man, if you don't want to believe it, you can just break up, why bother acting like this." ”
The fifth disease retracted and sobbed, with cold eyes and crossed eyebrows, "How does the little girl know the avenue in the old man's heart?" Don't be a fool! ”
There are internal fluctuations between the words, as if someone has grabbed the handle, and he is annoyed and angry.
This person woke up but did not speak, but had the heart to wait and see. Just now, Lingling all the way to the wall watched, obviously knowing but not speaking, and at this time, the words are excited, there must be something to rely on, or something to plan.
At this time, the voice in the inner hall was still the same, and the foul language was full of foul language, a "harmonious" scene. But the three of them clearly saw that the people around them were ready to move, and their hearts were ape.
