With the freshly pickled laba garlic and a plate of shredded pickles mixed with sesame oil, Xiang Youbao finished eating two large bowls of rolled noodles in one go, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief, nodded and smiled at Nalan who was busy behind the stove: "I have to say that my sister hurts people!" I went out yesterday to this time, and I didn't hit my teeth when I called a water rice seriously, and I was so hungry that I was so hungry that I was close to my back! ”

Raising his hand and throwing the hair-thin noodles into the boiling water in the pot, Nalan glanced at Xiang Youbao with half distress and half disgust: "You know that you can do it!" This body is just a little bone, and it will be a night away from home! There is no one else in these forty-nine cities except you, right? ”

After drinking a clean noodle bowl with even the soup, Xiang Youbao salivated and came to Nalan's side: "Sister, you said that in our hall, the two Uncle She and Uncle Hu can only be used to protect their lives, but Uncle Xie is a King Kong in the clouds, but there is a small family involved, and it is not suitable to go out and fight with others!" Let's not mention it, but the scene is still an expert, but the people next to him are still ordinary. Let's talk about it again, Yan Ye is very skillful, but we can't whip fast cattle and make others play with their lives, right? If I don't go to Old Man Hong? Mr. Water? These two throw books with their left hand and whistle with their right hand."

With a snort, Nalan, who was barely stretching his face, was suddenly amused by Xiang Youbao's eyebrows and gags: "What nonsense?!" If this is for Old Man Hong to hear."

Before the words fell, Old Man Hong, who was holding a green cloth bag in his hand, stepped into the room, and smiled at Xiang Youbao and Nalan who were standing side by side behind the stove with some coercion: "I can't hear it!" When you're older, you can't hear the drums and gongs, and you can't hear the whispers you two are talking about here? ”

With a pretty face flushed, Nalan quietly reached out and twisted it the waist of the leopard, but he rushed out of the stove at a fast trot. Before walking to the door, he turned his head and whispered to Xiang Youbao, who was covering his waist and smiling bitterly: "The noodles are cooked and fished by yourself, and there are still two chickens in the cupboard!" ”

Smiling and watching Nalan trot all the way back to his house, Old Man Hong, who was standing at the door of the room, turned his head to look at Xiang Youbao, who was bowing to him, and smiled: "There is a leopard." I thought about the thing you said when you came back just now, and I'll pick it up for you. Do you see what that means? ”

Surprised, his eyes widened, Xiang Youbao took a few steps closely, and took the small green cloth bag from Old Man Hong's hand with both hands: "I blinked when I entered the door, do you have to say that ginger is old and spicy?"

Quite complacently putting his hands behind his back, Old Man Hong nodded and smiled: "I just heard the whistle that you said can sound in the wind and can't hear the sound." I'm really muttering in my heart - it's the first time I've heard someone want to make such a thing after so many years of being a finch whistle in this forty-nine city? But looking back, isn't this just the thing made by those little apprentices who didn't have the skills to do it in the past? I've cleaned up a little bit more, isn't that done? ”

Carefully opened the green cloth bag in his hand, and looked at the seven or eight thin, copper-like things in the green cloth bag, reached out and picked up a piece of copper the size of a fingernail and held it up in front of his eyes.

Although at first glance, there is nothing surprising about this thin copper sheet. But after a careful look at it for a while, it can be seen that this copper sheet is actually made of three layers of copper foil stacked together, and there is a gap between each layer of copper foil with the thickness of a hair. The copper piece was brought to his lips and blown gently, and a strange whistle suddenly reverberated in the stove room, but he couldn't hear where the whistle began.

Carefully received the green cloth bag into his arms, and Xiang Youbao respectfully arched towards Old Man Hong to the ground: "Old Man Hong." You've given me an amazing treasure, and I don't know how to thank you."

Raising his finger and pointing to the steaming cauldron on the stove, Old Man Hong smiled at Xiang Youbao and said, "What are you talking about?" Hurry up and fill your stomach, your master is still waiting for you in the discussion room! ”

Pulling the noodles boiling in the pot into his stomach in three or two strokes, Xiang Youbao, who was stretched out full of trenches, wiped his lips indiscriminately, raised his legs and walked towards the discussion room. It is estimated that he had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and only then did he see Xiang Youbao walking into the discussion room, and Na Jiuye, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair, had already asked urgently: "There is a leopard." What happened last night? Listening to the discussion on the street, it was said that a pot outside the city that was connected to the Chrysanthemum Society was slaughtered? The houses were also burned to the ground? ”

Nodding slightly, Xiang Youbao turned his hand and closed the door of the discussion room, and then lowered his voice and detailed everything he and Han Liangpin did last night.

Na Jiuye, who had round eyes and a pair of hands tightly grasping the armrests of the Taishi chair, waited for the leopard's voice to fall, and immediately leaned forward and asked in a suppressed voice: "Then at this moment, Han Liangpin Han Ye has already run out of his mouth?" ”

He nodded towards Na Jiuye. Xiang Youbao quickly whispered: "With a dozen horses and seven or eight war horses in turn, I'm afraid I've already gone out two hundred miles away at this time!" ”

Pinching his fingers and calculating, Hu Qianli, who was sitting on the side, pondered for a long time, and finally met the words of the leopard at this stall: "There is a leopard." You can come back so quickly, you came back on horseback, right? What about the horse? ”

Respectfully arching his hand towards Hu Qianli, Xiang Youbao replied in a low voice: "Han Liangpin Han Ye personally destroyed the marks on the horse's body, and also changed the farrier. When I was still twenty miles from the city gate, I found a soup pot for noodles and scrapped the horse, and I saw with my own eyes that the horse had been slaughtered and got out of the soup pot, and it cost a few dollars to return with the caravan that had delivered goods into the city. ”

Nodding slightly, Hu Qianli seemed to be relieved: "It's good that you haven't shown your traces!" Now that Han Ye has gone to the outside of the mouth, this bullfighting scene will naturally not be able to toss. But the players in Sijiu City who had placed heavy bets in the Ssangyong betting on the street were all worried at this time. That is, this morning, Nan Muen Nanye also called the patrol police station to detain him, and he didn't even let go of the miscellaneous reminders at home, and threw them all into the patrol police station to listen to the fate. According to such calculations, I am afraid that this Shuanglong will be the scapegoat on the casino, so I have to sit down Nan Muen Nanye! ”

Stretching out his hand and scratching his scalp, Xiang Youbao looked at Hu Qianli with some embarrassment: "Uncle Hu, since Nan Muen and Nanye have asked the patrol police station to detain him and take him to prison, the fragment of the alien beast picture that fell in his hand, I'm afraid he will have to change it from the patrol police station?" ”

Shaking his head slightly, Hu Qianli replied in a deep voice: "Among those players on the street, there are characters with hands and eyes who have asked in the patrol police station, saying that they are the things that have been confiscated from Nan Muen's house and shop, but none of them are really worth a lot of money!" If you count from here, I'm afraid it's the story of Nanjia Baku, or is it really the real thing? The Nan family is really valuable and important things, I'm afraid they are all hidden in the Nan family's eight libraries, right?! ”

Touching the back of his head, Xiang Youbao looked at Hu Qianli very curiously: "Nanjia Baku? Uncle Hu, what kind of allusion is this? ”

Picking up the important words, Hu Qianli told the story of the Nanjia Baku to Xiang Youbao, but at the end, he frowned and opened his teeth: "This Nanjia Baku, there are many people who have heard of it in Sijiu City, but no one knows where Nanjia Baku is hidden in Sijiu City?" What's more, I heard that in order to prevent their children and grandchildren from corrupting the family business, the ancestors of the Nanjia family in Liku set the rule of 'taking one and returning three', and specially asked the characters of Tianxingxing in Sijiu City to guard the treasury gate. If you don't have the right incision to open the library, or break the rule of 'take one and return three', the characters in Tianxing who guard the eight libraries of the Nanjia family will be able to burn down the eight libraries of the Nanjia family at that time! ”

His eyes widened, and Xiang Youbao suddenly smacked his tongue: "Such a strange rule, but it is really a shame that the ancestors of the Nan family can figure it out?!" Then according to that, I still have to go to the prison of the patrol police station, and I want to ask from Nan Muen's mouth to open the incision of Nanjia Baku? It's a real job."

Waving his hand slightly, Hu Qianli sighed slightly: "Nan Muen Nan Ye is not in the prison of the patrol police station at all!" Since Nan's house was raided by the people from the patrol police station this morning, no one has seen Nanye's figure again. It is estimated that the patrol police station is in Sijiu City where other important prisoners are detained, Nan Muen Nanye called to send it there? ”

Before the leopard could speak, Xie Menshen, who was sitting on the chair by the door, had already shouted in a muffled voice: "Such a big Sijiu City, if the characters in the patrol police station want to find a territory that can accept prisoners, is it not the number of ways to hold the handle?" But if we want to find this realm, we are really looking for a needle in a haystack! Brother Hu, do you have a rut? ”

After hesitating for a moment, Hu Qianli nodded slowly: "In the past, I knew a few characters in the Heavenly Star Row, but I haven't seen each other for many years. At this time, I recklessly went to the door to find someone to help, I'm afraid it's really difficult."

Blinking his eyes, She Youdao, who was sitting next to Hu Qianli, shouted in a low voice: "Ordinary people in Sijiu City ask for something to do, either with face or with silver. Senior Brother Hu, the characters in the stars you said in this day, I'm afraid I can't get out of this way? I'll ask you one more thing here--there are five elements and eight works in the city, where will there be a celestial star? Both of us brothers have been working in Sijiu City from peeing and mud to now, but we have never heard of this business? How do you know that the characters in this Heavenly Star Walk can also find the secret kiln where the Patrol Police Bureau detains criminals in Sijiu City? ”

Turning his head to look at She Youdao with a puzzled look on his face, Hu Qianli pondered for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Maybe we can see the people in the Tianxing Xing every day, but none of us can touch the people in the Tianxing Xing!" Listening to the old generation of characters, even if it is a scene of chaos in the world, no one can move the slightest foundation in the Tianxing Xing. Even if it is a year of changing dynasties, no one can do without the help of the characters in Tianxingxing! ”

"Senior Brother Hu, the more you talk about this, the more mysterious it becomes" (To be continued.) )
