Reading Pavilion 『 』, the full text is free to read.

Huzi and I went to the supply and marketing building in order to buy a safe, and walked in front of many safes, the small ones were only forty or fifty catties, and the large ones were more than two hundred catties. Huzi and I chose the big one. The people from the supply and marketing cooperatives didn't help us carry it, so we used our strength to carry the safe onto our tricycle.

After pulling it back, it was placed in our bedroom, and the passbook, household registration book, some cash and this treasure book were all placed in it. This is the only way to be sure. I fell on the bed and said, "Huzi, it feels so good to be rich!" ”

Huzi snorted and said, "Yes, I don't want to go back to Luan County again." It wasn't a human life. ”

I said, "I'm not going back to Changli, I'm going to take root here in the future." ”

As he was talking, he heard the sound of a motorcycle outside.

We got up and came out to see that it was a Mulan scooter parked in front of our shop. The person in the car was none other than the third master.

The third master got off the motorcycle, stretched out his finger and pointed inside, and said, "Go in and say." ”

After we entered the house, the third master said, "Close the door." ”

That's when I realized the seriousness of the problem. I went to close the door, and when I came back, I said, "Third master, do you have any orders?" ”

The third master sat down, then stretched his neck, took off a leather rope from his neck with both hands, and tied a sheep's horn-shaped thing to the leather rope. He took it off, put it on his right index finger, and then put his hand on the table, knocking on it, making a clang-clang sound.

The third master smiled at this time and said, "Do you know what this is?" ”

He held his hand up, and I looked closely, and the thing on his finger looked like a cat's paw, with the carved image of a tortoise entwined with a snake.

At this time, I suddenly realized and said, "This is the touch gold talisman, the Xuanwu talisman." Third master, you are the captain of the touching gold! This is the Xuanwu Golden Talisman. ”

At this time, I completely understood why the third master helped me so much, what he wanted was freedom.

The third master looked at me at this time and nodded, saying, "I am the captain of the touching gold, and I am the inheritance of the Northern Xuanwu." ”

Huzi and I looked at each other, and then we both sat opposite the third master. We didn't speak, but waited for the third master to speak, and I knew that the third master still had something to say.

The third master's fingers kept tapping on the table, and he didn't speak at first.

After more than ten seconds, the finger suddenly stopped. Then, he whispered: "My ancestor's name is Yang Cheng, and he used to be a Jinjin lieutenant under Cao Jun, and his immediate boss is Hu Xiaojun's ancestor, Hu Lin. His military rank is that of a general in the inverted fight. During the Three Kingdoms period, this army was very large, with more than 3,000 people, and Zhonglang divided the four captains below him into the southeast, south, west, and northwest, and did tomb robbing in all directions to fill the military arsenal. ”

Then, the third master sighed, and then said: "Later, after Cao Pi became emperor, this army lost its original meaning. From more than 3,000 people, it was finally reduced to just over 30 people. The reason is very simple, this Hu Lin is the uncle of Cao Yu, the king of Yan. Cao Pi was extremely distrustful of him and gradually deprived him of his military power. Hu Lin knew that there was no way to mix in the army anymore, so he took out a large amount of money and distributed it to the four captains who touched the gold, so that everyone could go their own way with their subordinates. The four Touching Jin Lieutenants knew that Hu Lin was generous and benevolent, and made an oath that Touching the Golden Captain would inherit the descendants, and seeing the general's order was like seeing his parents, and he would obey his orders. ”

The third master's fingers knocked on the table again, and after a dozen knocks, he stopped. He continued: "Time has passed, and more than a thousand years have passed in a blink of an eye. This talisman has been passed down from generation to generation, and finally passed into my hands. But I haven't shown it to anyone, and no one knows that I am the heir of Northern Xuanwu. I'm not used to being someone else's pawn. Unexpectedly, the opportunity came. ”

Huzi sighed at this time and said, "I understand." But Third Master, what are you talking to us about? ”

The third master smiled at this time, he sighed and said: "I am forty-seven years old this year, and I have married three wives before and after, but I can't give birth to a son and a half daughter." This shows that I know in my heart that it is my problem. I thought, I have to pass on this golden talisman, I found this person. ”

As he spoke, the third master took off the golden talisman, put it on the table, and then slowly pushed it to my front. He said: "This gold talisman is made of meteoric iron, and it is made of the same material as the general's order. Shapes can be forged, but materials can't. ”

I said, "Third Master, I can't accept such a valuable thing." ”

The third master shook his head and said, "You must accept it." Only you can get Captain Touching Gold out of the fate of being controlled. Although the captain of the gold school has a skill, he is helpless, he knows nothing about dividing the gold and determining the acupoints, and he is restrained by others. And you are different, today you have opened my eyes, I am completely convinced today. ”

He then clasped his fist at me and said, "Chen Yuan, if you don't take this golden talisman, I can only take it into the coffin." ”

I looked at this golden talisman and hesitated, I knew what it meant to take this golden talisman, which was not only an asset, but also a responsibility.

Huzi said: "Lao Chen, you can accept it." ”

I nodded, reached out and picked up the gold talisman, and then put it on my index finger, I held it up to see that it was very sharp.

I slowly put my hand on the table and knocked on the table like the third master. Then he grabbed it back so hard that he grabbed a groove out of the table. The sharpness of this finger and the precision of the material can be seen.

The third master laughed at this time, he stood up, exhaled a long breath, and said: "I am also worthy of my ancestors, touch the golden school captain Xuanwu, and there are successors." ”

With that, he laughed out loud and went out laughing, and when he got outside, he got on his small motorcycle and left.

After dark, Huzi and I got the tricycle and the big satchel into the backyard and locked the back door. Then the two of us closed the shop and locked the door, planning to go to the restaurant for a beef dumpling. As soon as I went out, I saw a Santana sedan coming from a distance, and stopped at the door of our bookstore.

In fact, you don't have to guess to know that it is a corpse shadow.

In our small alley, except for the corpse shadow who will drive this kind of car in, we can't see a small car for a day. Instead of getting out of the car, she lowered the window, stuck her head out and waved at us and said, "Get in the car." ”

Huzi grinned, leaned on the window and said, "Boss Corpse, we won't get in the car." If you have something to say, just say it and be concise and to the point. ”

The corpse said, "I'm hungry, can we go to dinner together?" ”

Huzi said: "Okay, today I have a treat and go to the Sanlian Dumpling Restaurant to eat beef and green onion dumplings." Turn right out of the alley, you go first, and we will arrive later. ”

The corpse nodded, then closed the window, turned around and came back from the intersection in front of him, and went first.

When I arrived at the dumpling restaurant, everyone ordered half a catty of dumplings. The corpse shadow can't be eaten, so it will be distributed to me and Huzi.

These days, I have also eaten to the bottom, and the amount of food is getting lighter day by day. Half a catty of dumplings is enough for me to eat.

While eating dumplings, the corpse shadow said, "Lao Chen, Huzi, I came this time for General Hu's business." I thought about this matter for a while, and asked General Hu to pay 50,000 yuan, so let's end this matter. ”

I was pouring vinegar into the bowl at this time, and when I was done, I put down the porcelain pot and started to pick the garlic. I didn't speak.

Huzi didn't pay attention to the corpse shadow either, and ate dumplings with his head down. Muttering while eating, it would be perfect if you could prepare some sesame oil.

The corpse said, "If you have any requests, you can do so." This thing always has to be solved, doesn't it? ”

At this time, I still lowered my head and ate the dumplings, one bite at a time, and quickly ate all the dumplings on the plate. When I finished eating, I wiped my mouth with my hand. The corpse handed me a tissue, which I took and wiped my mouth again, then tossed it on the table.

The corpse shadow said: "Lao Chen, Huzi, General Hu promised to give 50,000 yuan, but he relented." You should find a place to go down, otherwise it will not be good for everyone to continue this stalemate. ”

I said, "He doesn't want to give it, and I can't go to his house and ask him for it." What exactly was he afraid of? ”

The corpse sighed, then took a deep breath and exhaled again. She sat up straight and said seriously, "It's not a matter of face yet. ”

I waved my hand and said, "I don't think so, I think he is afraid that Captain Jin will really not listen to him, if his name is not right, his words will not be good, and if his words are not good, he will not be successful." That's the truth, right? ”

The corpse nodded and said, "There is a reason for this. But don't take this too seriously. After all, when Captain Touching Jin left the Hu family, he couldn't do anything. It is a good hand to touch the gold in the tomb of the captain of the gold, but it still depends on the Hu family to divide the gold and fix the acupoints. If you can't find the big tomb, what's the use of touching the golden captain? ”

Huzi smiled at this time and said, "Since that's the case, forget it." Let Hu Xiaojun keep the 50,000 yuan. We will not let go of this general order. By the way, there is also that fair-skinned, please inform her, come to my store when you are free, and the three heads haven't kowtowed yet. ”

The corpse snorted at this time, folded his arms, and said proudly, "You are still too young! Sometimes you have to go down when you see the steps, and if it is too axis, it will hurt you. You have to know who you are, and you have to be able to recognize your own strength. Working against General Hu, you won't be able to get good fruit to eat. ”

I stood up, looked at the corpse and smiled, and said, "You are coercing and luring a full set of services, Boss Corpse, it seems that we are not speculating." ”

Huzi and I got up and walked out of the dumpling restaurant, and returned to our bookstore without looking back.
