Chapter 14: The Gathering of Thieves
was picked up by her mother-in-law a little, and all the world-weary thoughts in her heart were scattered.
The thing in his body seemed to understand his thoughts, and he was no longer troubled by him.
Xu felt that it was too tired to stare at me all the time and manipulate me, so he thought to himself.
But what should I do next? How should I get rid of it? I don't have a clue about it.
Abandoning the letter on foot, as soon as he looked up, he had already walked out of the Xuandu Mountain and came to the edge of a large Ze.
But seeing the twilight, the lonely bird in the sunset, and the flowers in the evening breeze, the heart became more and more miserable and depressed.
Further on, there is a fishing village and a small wine shop.
Throwing away his bag, the scattered silver that Yu'er gave him was still there, and he went in unconsciously.
The wine shop was very neat, and there were many customers, all of whom looked like merchants.
abandoned himself and found an unmanned seat to sit down, but Xiao Er was sharp-eyed, and hurriedly ran over to greet him: "Guest officer, do you also want to catch the thief set, and by the way, take a break in the small shop?"
Abandon but don't understand what thief set: "Little brother, can there be fresh vegetables?"
"The guest officer is so good, the shop caught a few fresh sea bass in the afternoon, do you want to come and try it?" The sea bass in this Meng Zhu is notoriously tender and smooth. ”
Qu nodded, and casually ordered a side dish or two, a bowl of clear soup noodles. But he remembered Xiao Er's words, and then asked: "Little brother just said that the thieves gathered, but what did he mean? Could it be that the people who rushed to the market are all thieves?"
Xiao Er smiled: "Listening to the accent, the guest officer is not a local." The 'Yingzhang' town in the southeast of the imperial capital, for hundreds of years, every ninth day of the new year, there are large gatherings. This Meng Zhu, a hundred miles away, together with the people who lived in the imperial capital, were willing to go to the set.
It's just that there are many strange things in that episode, and they may not be seen in the imperial capital. There are often those who get treasures in this episode and get rich overnight. There are also people who meet masters and change their luck in half a life.
No one knows where these people and things come from. The time to catch up with the set is very early, only two hours of Chou and Yin, and as soon as the light comes out, this episode will disperse. To catch this episode, you must be like that thief, so the people in the vicinity call it the thief set. ”
"Oh. "I finally understand.
"The guest officer is going to see the excitement of that episode. Most of the customers who come and go to my small shop are rushing to this episode. If the guest officer is interested, I can help you ask them if there is room on the ship, and I will take you over. ”
"It's so good, it's just a trouble for the little brother!" "Abandon thinking: I still have to go to the imperial capital, and it's always good to carry me over this Daze.
"Where is the guest officer? This person who comes from south to north but enters the small shop, and is the food and clothing parents of the small shop. One or two sentences, how can you feel troublesome. You wait a moment. The little two were very likable, and soon helped them find a merchant who was willing to piggyback, and was sitting at the next table drinking and gossiping.
"I heard that there was a rich family in Navey Prefecture, who had children in old age, and they were very happy. I know that the child is more than a year old, but he looks like a big-headed mouse, his whole body is gray and wrinkled, with a big head on his head, and he has no energy. I looked at all the famous doctors in this country, and they all said that they couldn't raise it. ”
But the doctor was so powerful that only a few doses of decoction knocked an object out of the child's nostrils and blood, but it turned out to be a thumb-sized ball of flesh that wriggled stupidly, with countless barbs on it, attached to the eyebrows, and only sucked the child's brain marrow. The boy was dying, but he had saved him, and now he was more vigorous than the ordinary disease-free child. ”
"It's just that the doctor has a very strange temperament, and he doesn't bother to look at ordinary diseases, and the more incurable diseases that can't be treated elsewhere, the more interested he is, and even goes to the door. Look at what kind of requirements you always have to sign with people before you get sick, but the terms are very harsh. The family that saved the child is said to find a hundred souls for him within three years. If this is not done, the child will die of anger in three years, and there is no cure. ”
"What is a human spirit?"
"I heard that this thing had to be found in the soil under the feet of the man after he was hanged, and he couldn't be wrong. ”
"Where can I find hundreds of these things?"
"Well, if there is that rich man, he will spend money to buy it. There are those who have no money and have bad intentions, but they will only go to the lives of bad people. ”
"It's too hurtful......"
But he didn't care, he only treated the body but not the heart, and the disease but not the life. It is said that his real surname is Yi and his name is unknown, but he is called 'medical'. ”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. When I heard that they were talking about a doctor, I was moved.
Then he walked over, but thanked him: "Brothers, I heard that you are willing to take your little brother to the big set, and I am very grateful." ”
The merchants were very pleased to see that he was very polite, and invited him to come and sit down.
"Brother Tai just talked about a famous doctor?"
"Well, exactly. ”
"Where's the doctor now?"
"He's a traveling doctor, and he occasionally goes to Daji. We were just talking about this large concentration of scenery and personnel, so I mentioned it. Why did the little brother ask?"
"But someone in the family is seriously ill and is looking for medical advice. ”
"Oh......" the crowd sighed, "it's a chance, I wish he was here today." ”
After eating, drinking, and resting for an hour, everyone set off on the boat, but it turned out that there was a wharf next to this small fishing village, which was very convenient.
This Meng Zhu Daze is in the direction of the south of the imperial capital, and the small boat babbles diagonally through the center of the lake, and goes straight to the Yingzhang Daji.
Before the hour passed, the ship was approaching the brightly lit area.
For hundreds of years, this big market has slowly turned into a night market and the thief market is connected from end to end, and there are merchants who have already occupied a good position and made it all night.
The tea business of the merchants on the ship was hurriedly unloaded as soon as they approached the shore, and they were busy looking for a lot to set up a stall. Abandon asking the location of the traveling doctor, and go to find it.
There is no such thing there, and I am slightly disappointed. Then I thought: Anyway, it's better to go around, but to see what makes this big set different.
This big set is really lively.
The sound of merchants sitting and selling is endless, and the sonorous juggling of the rivers and lakes is particularly tempting.
The crowd is bustling, and there are many children in it, but people have regarded this place as a place to play.
In the big set, there have long been rules that have been agreed upon for a hundred years, and merchants and customers abide by them, and there are few disputes.
The goods sold by the merchants are indeed strange, from the horrific dried corpses to the thousand-pound boulders, and even the hair and feces of various animals.
At this moment, he saw a somewhat familiar figure. Carefully identify, it turned out to be the amiable middle-aged businessman in the Rusty Iron Rod Village.
He carried a bamboo basket on his back, spun around, and shook his head frequently, as if he was not satisfied with the goods here.
"He came very quickly from the rusty iron rod. Secretly surprised in his heart, he didn't realize that he pinched his fingers and counted the days.
After thinking about it, "This person is already very mysterious, and it is not surprising that he came quickly. ”
"Hey, brother. He stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
He was sniffing at something that he didn't know was yellow, black, and was startled.
When he turned his head and saw abandonment, the smile on his face instantly piled up: "Xiaoyou, but it turned out to be you." Where's the blue-haired girl you're travelling with?"
It seems that he is quite impressed with his son.
"She's not here today. ”
"You're here to visit this big set, could it be that you have something good to sell again?" his eyes sparkled.
Last time, he changed the ancient food spirit, and it seems that he thinks it is a good deal.
"I don't have any good goods. He suddenly remembered his signboard of "Only the world has no market, but the sun and the moon are strange", and boldly asked: "Do you sell the head?"
"What kind of head? wood carving or stone carving, dried corpse? or that face, what size, what year, how ...... year?"
When the man saw that he wanted to buy something, he casually asked, "You should be more precise, I must have sold it." ”
"But it's the head of Nayun Master Ji Yasun. Afraid that he would not hear clearly, he said word by word.
"Nayun Master Ji Yasun, yes!" the man agreed, almost habitually, and then came to his senses and smiled shyly:
"Ji Yasun, this person, yes! is in this Yuanyang Emperor Capital. Human heads, no, no, hehe...... Little friend, you can't joke like that. ”
Seeing that it was not a joke, the man cautiously asked, "Xiaoyou, do you know who this Ji Yasun is, and where did he offend you?"
Qi sneered: "If you don't, forget it." ”
turned around to leave, but the man grabbed him: "Xiaoyou, I'm just a businessman, you want him to be a living head, but I'll go up to get it for you." If I am the killer, you are asking me the right person...... But you seem to have a deep hatred for him like this, and I have something here, but you may be interested. ”
The man pulled the abandonment to a secluded place, took out an object from his body, and sent it to the abandonment, and the abandonment was startled: Isn't this the ancient mirror of Ji Yasun?
After seeing the divine power of this mirror, he doubted in his heart: "Can your mirror be the same as Ji Yasun's?
The man shook his head: "Little friend, I don't lie to you." The mirror of Ji Ya Sun comes from ancient times and is unique. This mirror is a fake, a replica made by the person who made the mirror in the past, and it is not as powerful as the real thing. ”
Hearing him say this, he couldn't help but be disappointed: "Then what is the use of me coming?"
The man was still smiling: "Little friend, you don't know anything." The magic of this mirror is not in the power of the mirror, but in the fact that it can reproduce and store the owner's information. It is from the information left by the previous masters of this mirror that Ji Yasun realized the avenue, and he has today's achievements. Although it is a fake, it is like the same mother and twins, and the blood is connected, although this mirror itself cannot be actively remembered, but it shares and stores part of the information, which may be useful to you. ”
"I see. Let me see it first. The man didn't care, and handed the mirror to Wai.
As soon as he took the mirror, he saw a phantom in the mirror, which was not Ji Yasun.
The man saw that his face changed color, and he stretched out his hand to block the mirror: "Little friend, there are many people here, don't be angry." ”
Abandonment awakens from the hallucination: "Good. Your price is ......"
The man circled: "All your things are on you?"
Qu nodded.
The man shook his head: "No." ”
I didn't hear him say no, and my heart was worried. The man suddenly changed the subject: "Xiaoyou, why did you come to this big set today? You won't ask me to buy heads, right?"
"Of course not. I'm here to find Na Yi ......."
Before he could finish speaking, the man actually guessed: "'Can't be cured'? What are you doing with him? Is it possible to see him for a doctor? You are a good ......."
"Could it be that you know him well, but you know where he is?"
"Of course I know, how many years of old patrons!" the man chuckled.
This was a surprise, and he pulled him up: "Take me there." ”
