Chapter 107: Black Cat
Du Heng looked at the inconspicuous cat bowl and was skeptical. He picked up the cat bowl, looked at it carefully, and found that under Yaohua's split just now, both the small temple and the offering table were shattered, but this bowl didn't even have a gap. The surface of the small bowl has a smooth glaze, and the original material cannot be seen. It's heavy in your hand, but it carries a lot of weight.
"Beloved?" Du Heng sneered, "How can I have anything beloved......
He put the cat's bowl in his gluttonous bag, and suddenly thought of a person.
Du Heng carried Qu Nianqing to the drunken fragrance house.
The big banner with the word "incense" still hung diagonally at the door, and the koi fish in the pond in front of the door swam around, and the aroma of rouge gouache wafted out of the door.
"Uncle, do you want to buy rouge?" Qu Nianqing tugged at his collar and looked up and asked.
Du Heng didn't even glance at Qu Nianqing, and walked straight into the rouge shop.
The figure of the female shopkeeper was still busy, and suddenly saw Du Heng enter the door, her eyes lit up, and she quickly sent away the customers in the store, and then turned to Du Heng in her clothes.
"Du Gongzi, you are finally here."
Du Heng raised his eyebrows and said strangely: "What?" Are you waiting for me? ”
The female shopkeeper did not answer Du Heng's question, but looked at him left and right and said, "The rouge that I gave to my son last time, is it good to use?" ”
Du Heng remembered the night when he almost promised Quan Hui, and his face was a little unhappy.
"Don't be angry, I know what Childe wants." The female shopkeeper lowered her head and reached out to pinch Qu Nianqing's face.
Du Heng said: "Oh? So you say, what do I want? ”
The female shopkeeper laughed coquettishly and said, "Although I know what the son wants, I can't take it out." However, I can tell Childe where to look. ”
"Where to look?"
The female shopkeeper giggled, looking forward to life.
"Do you remember Du Gongzi that he owed me a favor before?"
Du Heng nodded and said, "What do you want to exchange for?" ”
"It's very simple," the female shopkeeper leaned lightly on the counter, took a box of rouge and applied it to her hand, and then sniffed it carefully, "I just want the bowl that Childe took." ”
"Bowl?"
Du Heng thought that he would have to make a life-and-death choice, but he never expected that the female shopkeeper's request would be so simple. He took the bowl out of his gluttonous bag and looked at it carefully, a little hesitant.
This bowl is the only thing that has anything to do with the cat, and if I give it to her, this clue will be completely broken. But if I don't give it to her, how long will it take for me to figure out the whereabouts of the black cat on my own? The female shopkeeper spoke with a mysterious voice, and although she couldn't guess it, she seemed to really know the purpose of my trip. It seems that this time it is time to gamble.
The female shopkeeper looked at Du Heng and blinked, waiting quietly.
Du Heng handed the bowl to the female shopkeeper and said, "If you want this bowl, take it, you tell me where to find what I want." ”
The female shopkeeper took the bowl and said with a smile: "What Du Gongzi is looking for is far away in the sky and close in front of him. ”
She pointed her hand lightly to the door, pointing to a green building opposite.
Du Heng turned his head, and then wondered, "In there?" It's as simple as that? ”
The female shopkeeper let out a "hmm" and turned behind the counter with a smile.
Du Heng sighed, and a feeling of being deceived arose. He frowned, looked at the old bustard soliciting business in front of the Qinglou for a long time, and then showed an expression of a powerful and dead horse as a live horse doctor.
"Uncle, are we going over?" Qu Nianqing tugged on Du Heng's sleeve.
Du Heng looked down at Qu Nianqing's innocent little face, then turned to the female shopkeeper and said, "Can you please help me take care of this child, the land of flowers and willows, it is always inconvenient to take him there." ”
Before Qu Nianqing could protest, the female shopkeeper shook her hand and said, "This is not good, Du Gongzi, this little boy is also going, and he must go." ”
Du Heng pulled Qu Nianqing to the door of the Qinglou in confusion.
The old bustard in front of the door looked at the two people with strange eyes, and then he came to Du Heng with a smile on his face and said, "This son, what are you doing downstairs?" There's a seat waiting for you upstairs! Today is our Qiu Ju girl's home field, playing a good kite, in this alley, as long as she says second, no one dares to say first! ”
The old bustard shouted inside: "Alain, Ah Yue, here are the guests, why don't you hurry up and wait?" ”
Du Heng and Qu Nianqing were welcomed into the second floor by two women with heavy makeup, and the guests in the building cast strange glances at the two of them. Du Heng was unmoved, but Qu Nianqing looked left and right, feeling uncomfortable.
"Uncle, why are they looking at us like that?"
Du Heng's eyelids didn't droop, and said, "I said that this is not the place where children should come, and you still don't believe it." ”
Qu Nianqing muttered dissatisfiedly, "Maybe they don't add up to my age......
The space on the second floor is spacious, with a large platform in the middle, and a translucent tulle hangs from the roof, covering the platform dimly inside. Inside the tulle, a woman was about to sit down, with a zither in front of her.
Du Heng and the two were placed in an excellent seat. The girl named Alan was just about to sit down next to Du Heng, but she was so frightened by Du Heng's cold gaze that she trembled and hurriedly walked away.
Qu Nianqing took a pear from the table and whispered: "Uncle, there are a few sisters over there who are secretly praising you, they say that they have never seen such a handsome person as you, but they don't have a good temper......
Du Heng ignored Qu Nianqing, he looked around and found a ragged old man in the corner. The old man was barefoot, with his chest exposed, and he held a broken wine gourd that was so dirty that he couldn't see the color clearly.
Although this green building is not very elegant, it is not so much that all guests are received, how did this old man like a flower come in?
The old man pulled the stopper of the gourd, poured it into his mouth, and found that there was no wine, so he shouted loudly, "Hey! Bring the wine! I'm out of alcohol! ”
The people around him looked sideways at the old man and made dissatisfied sounds.
A few girls standing next to me, you push me, I push you, and finally push out the smallest. The little girl angrily picked up the flask and came to the old man's side, and immediately showed a smiling expression again, and filled the old man's wine gourd with wine.
The old man gave a perfunctory "um", then cocked one foot and said, "Pinch me!" ”
The little girl frowned, and hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve.
Du Heng was surprised.
This old man is really a bully, and he looks like a broken family, why didn't anyone drive him out, but swallowed his anger at him? Could it be that this is the person the female shopkeeper asked me to find?
The old man saw that the little girl looked disgusted, hehe, and then stretched his feet under the little girl's nose, raised his voice and said, "What are you doing in a daze?" Why don't you pinch me quickly? ”
With a "snap", the old man's ankle suddenly had an extra hilt under his ankle. Du Heng picked up the old man's feet with the hilt of Yaohua's sword, and felt sick when he looked at the old man's black soles and the thick mud in his nails.
"Yo, where are you from?" The old man laughed instead of being angry.
Du Heng motioned for the little girl to go away, threw the old man's feet to the side, and said, "You old man, you are a lot old, what's the matter with bullying a little girl?" ”
"If you don't bully her, then who am I bullying? This foot always has to be pinched, and if you don't let her pinch it, then you will pinch it for me? As he spoke, the old man put his foot under Du Heng's nose again.
A strong sour smell rushed straight to Du Heng's Tianling Gai, almost giving Du Heng a snack.
Du Heng blocked the old man's feet with the hilt of his sword again, but the old man's feet were so flexible that he immediately stretched out again. Du Heng blocked again, the old man stretched again, and after a few rounds, Du Heng was stunned that he didn't take advantage, but was almost fainted by the smell of his feet.
"How? Incense, right? The old man moved his toes, and the smell became stronger.
Du Heng rolled his eyes, raised the hilt of his sword and picked up the old man's wine gourd, opened the stopper, and poked the gourd mouth at the old man's feet.
The old man was startled, and quickly retracted his foot, and said, "Don't don't, I'll still drink the wine, don't get dirty, I'm afraid you can't do it." ”
Du Heng sneered and said, "You also know dirty? ”
The old man sat up dissatisfied, and said, "What do you want to do......"
Du Heng sat opposite the old man and said, "Beizhu's black cat, do you know where it is?" ”
"Hokugisa? What Hokunagisa? I don't know, don't bother me, Qiu Ju will start right away. The old man waved his hand impatiently.
"You really don't know?"
"Oh, I don't know, I don't know, don't talk."
Du Heng glanced at the figure in the tulle, raised a palm and slapped it towards the tulle void, and with a "click", the zite in Qiu Ju's hand shattered in response, and the guests on the second floor let out a burst of exclamation.
"Now do you know what Hokugisa is?" Du Heng looked at the old man with a smile.
The old man smacked his lips as if pity, and sighed: "Alas, why are young people nowadays so impulsive, always destroying things, alas......"
"Where's the black cat?" Du Heng pushed the hilt of the sword forward, and Yaohua slid out half of the sword body, flashing with a cold light.
The old man choked, then glanced at Qu Nianqing beside Du Heng, and said with a smile: "This child looks quite smart, was it born by you?" ”
Du Heng's heart was on fire, and he offered Yaohua to push it flat with both palms, and Yaohua spun and slashed around, splitting all the tables, chairs and benches on the second floor into pieces. The girls and guests in the building ran downstairs screaming, and the thugs crowded the staircase, wanting to go up but not daring to go up.
The old man smiled slightly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Oh, I know, you didn't give birth to it." ”
Du Heng was even more angry, and he was about to slash at the top of the old man's head with a swing of his sword, Qu Nianqing hurriedly grabbed Du Heng's arm, and then said to the old man: "Don't be angry with my uncle, tell us where Kunpeng is, my uncle is very generous, he can give you whatever you want." ”
"Oh? Can you give anything? The old man looked cunning.
Du Heng put his sword back into its sheath, forcibly suppressed his anger, and said coldly: "Can you understand what I said now?" What do you want? ”
The old man raised his chin towards Qu Nianqing.
"I want this kid."
Du Heng subconsciously protected Qu Nianqing behind him, his face was terrifyingly dark.
What's wrong with these people, trading is trading, why do you always keep an eye on the people around me?
The old man took a sip of the wine gourd, then leaned on the couch with Erlang's legs crossed, and said with a smile: "Anyway, it's not your own child, why are you so nervous." Give it to me, and you'll get what you want, and one less eye-catching, why not? ”
Du Heng said: "Except for this child, I can give you anything else." ”
The old man smiled and said, "I only want your beloved things, and I don't want anything else." ”
"Beloved?"
Du Heng's expression froze, and he suddenly remembered Fang Cai's words.
"As long as you put your favorite things in the bowl, you can still get what you want."
Du Heng's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and the fairy princess, the cat bowl, the small temple, and the female shopkeeper were connected in series one by one, and they gradually became clear.
"You're the black cat?"
