Chapter 31: Eccentrics
"You didn't want to trouble him?" Cheng Ming's eyes showed a bit of meaning.
The beggar laughed dryly, "How can it? We are good citizens, and this Taoist must not be joking. ”
"Here comes the buns!"
With a long sound, the shopkeeper of the bun shop carried two baskets of steamed buns and sent them over, and the beggars hurriedly rushed up to grab them.
The shopkeeper of the bun shop stared and scolded while dodging left and right, for fear that the beggars' hands would stain the cage drawer.
Cheng Ming looked funny, turned his head and threw out a piece of broken silver, "Send it to them!" ”
As soon as the shopkeeper of the bun shop reached out and grabbed the silver in his hand, he thanked him with a smile, and then threw the bun while retreating, and within just three or five breaths, the bun was evenly distributed to a few beggars, and the whole body retreated.
Cheng Ming was heaved in his heart, it seems that the shopkeeper of this bun shop often does this business, and he is very skilled.
"This Taoist ......"
Seeing that his brothers were all devouring it, the beggar couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Cheng Ming threw over a piece of broken silver and said, "Don't worry, take us to find that Chang Feng first!" ”
After grabbing the silver, the beggar's eyes lit up, and he agreed one after another, and quickly walked out to lead the way.
Cheng Ming gestured to Xue Rong, and the two followed unhurriedly.
Through the streets and alleys, from Xicheng to Nancheng, I turned a few times back and forth, and soon turned into a small alley.
The beggar pointed to the last house at the bottom of the alley and said, "Chang Feng is inside, the Taoist chief wants to find him, please go over by yourself!" ”
Cheng Ming said strangely: "You don't want to go with me?" ”
The beggar hurriedly waved his hand, "That Changfeng has some evil sects, and we can't afford to mess with them." In fact, it is no longer appropriate to show the way to the Taoist chief, and in order to avoid disasters, I also ask the Taoist chief to wait for me. ”
"That's easy to say." Cheng Ming sensed slightly, did not find anything abnormal, and looked at the beggar's head with a hint of meaning in his eyes, "Of course, the premise is that you didn't lie to us." Speaking of which, I forgot to ask, don't you think that the two of us are not familiar with each other, so just point to a place, right? If so, think again! ”
Looking at the expression on Cheng Ming's face, he didn't know why, the beggar felt a chill in his heart.
He hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't dare to deceive the Daoist." Chang Feng's family is really here, and he often appears here. But I couldn't find anyone...... Do you understand what I mean? ”
Cheng Ming suddenly felt bored, waved his hand and said, "Well, then you can go!" ”
It turned out to be just an occasional place.
The beggar bowed in a panic, turned his head and ran.
I don't know if I'm afraid of the so-called Chang Feng, or I'm afraid of Cheng Ming, the Taoist leader.
Cheng Ming walked into the alley, Xue Rongzhan followed tremblingly, tiptoed his neck and asked in a low voice: "Dao Chief, that beggar is evil, should we make some preparations first and then come over?" ”
Cheng Ming sneered: "What do you want to prepare?" Pull a team of county soldiers to cheer? Don't keep thinking about what you don't have, just follow me! ”
Xue Rong stopped talking and nodded hurriedly.
This small alley is a bit off-track, with more of the back walls of the yard on both sides, and it is rare to see a gate.
I walked to the bottom of the alley, and only found three houses, all of which were closed and silent inside.
The door of Chang Feng's house is no different from other people's homes.
It's just in disrepair, some in tatters.
The New Year's painting on the door has faded, but it can still be seen that it is the news of the door god, and Yu Chi Jingde's big black face has turned gray, but the outline can still be faintly seen.
The two wooden doors are a little deformed, and the gap is two fingers wide, so you don't have to get close to see what is inside.
Cheng Ming thought about it, pressed his palm against the wooden door, and with a slight force, the latch inside snapped and broke, and the wooden door opened.
The two of them stepped in one after the other, and they were greeted by a dilapidated house and barren grass in the yard.
Xue Rong was stunned for a moment and said, "Can this place live in people?" ”
Cheng Ming didn't speak, looked around for a while, took off the small pipe on his waist, took a slow breath, and spit it out gently.
As the smoke spread, the [circle] gradually unfolded, and everything in the entire small courtyard was quickly reflected in his mind.
Cheng Ming suddenly laughed, "It's interesting, there are really people inside!" ”
After speaking, he ignored Xue Rong's surprise, and was about to walk towards the broken house.
Before he could step into the door, there was a sudden sound inside, and a voice with an irony came out faintly.
"You're a bit interesting, you broke in without even knocking on the door, it seems that you want to set up a beam!"
Cheng Ming paused, and then saw a beggar walking out of the house.
He leaned obliquely on the door frame, the whole person was like a puddle of mud, obviously he didn't look up, but Cheng Ming seemed to be able to see the corners of his slightly ironic mouth.
He didn't seem to be any different from other beggars, all dressed in rags, oily, and smelly.
But his hands, those clean hands, are like white lotus flowers in a pool of stinky mud, which is very eye-catching.
Xue Rong said excitedly: "It's him!" That's him! ”
Cheng Ming looked carefully, touched his chin, and suddenly smiled.
Interesting, really interesting.
There is no abnormal aura on this person's body, and even the feedback information of [Yuan] is telling about his ordinariness and ordinariness.
But Cheng Ming's intuition told him that this person was not simple at all.
As soon as such a contradictory induction came out, it was obvious that there was something wrong with the person.
The beggar raised his head and smiled, "It's you, what's the matter?" Sent me money again today? ”
Xue Rong jumped to his feet and said, "You stinky person, return my silver quickly......"
Cheng Ming waved his hand, interrupted Xue Rong, and said, "Don't say something useless, we worked hard to find the door, but not just for those few taels of silver!" Your name is Chang Feng, right? ”
Chang Feng smiled: "You Taoist priest is a little interesting." The power in my body is weird, it's really weird, I can't even see it. ”
"You're interesting, too!"
Cheng Ming raised his chin and said, "The spell you used yesterday or the treasure?" ”
Chang Feng said: "Why do you like it, do you want it?" No problem, 10,000 taels of gold! ”
Xue Rong jumped up all of a sudden, shouting, "What? What are you talking about, madman? 10,000 taels, do you know how much gold is 10,000 taels......"
"Brother Xue!"
Cheng Ming had to press him down again, and said seriously: "Can we not be so embarrassed?" I'm about to be a man, why are I still like a monkey? Listen to me talk to him! ”
Xue Rong didn't dare to stab Cheng Ming, so he could only glare at Chang Feng fiercely.
Chang Feng had a big smile on his face, and he seemed to be very happy.
