Chapter 36: The Storm in Jinling (1)

Xie Zheng is very happy, he can raise his head and look at the world for the first time, although the people in the street are scattered because of fear, but he is still high, this is a kind of pride, the young master gave him the dignity of being a human being, people can have no face, but they can't be without pride, not self-improvement, who will give you strength?

The smile on this side of the face is like a spring breeze, and the face on that side is indeed hideous and terrifying, which is a strict face that accompanies everyone's life, divided into opposites, just like life, some people live in the sun, he is indeed doing extremely dark things, some people live in the haze, he is indeed doing brilliant things in the world.

Things are multi-faceted, there is a knife hidden in the smile, what a good word, although it cannot encompass the sinister nature of human nature, it does vividly see through the nature, this is a multi-faceted life.

Xie Yu took the hand that held him tightly, although the kid was laughing, he did understand that the child's strength gave him a short period of dignity, and the joy of wanton relaxation covered up his humble self-esteem, and when this pleasure slowly passed, he would return to the previous darkness, life needs a mask, some people wear a mask of hypocrisy, you can't see it, they do need it, and like Xie Zheng, he needs a real mask, a mask that can cover his inferiority.

Linlangfang, the best jewelry store in Jiankang City, welcomed his guests once again.

Xie Yu took Xie Zheng and stepped in, and the shopkeeper immediately ran over with a smile, but when he saw that face, even if he saw extraordinary knowledge, he was startled, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Gongzi Xie, do you want to buy jewelry?" ”

Xie Yu shook his head and pointed at that face and said, "This is my younger brother Xie Zheng, does the shopkeeper have a way to create a mask for him?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned and said, "Mask? Can Childe say that he is a substitute? ”

Xie Yu nodded, it turned out that it was called Dai Mian at this time.

The shopkeeper stepped forward to look at the lines of his face carefully, touched his broken chin with his hand, measured the distance between his facial features with his fingers very carefully, and only exhaled after a long time and said: "Childe, I don't know what materials you want to make this generation of noodles, although this thing is not made in the workshop, but I do know experts who are good at this way, and I can't imagine that it can be done tomorrow, I don't know if you want half or comprehensive?" ”

When Xie Yu heard this, he knew that although he had found the wrong place, the shopkeeper's heart was hot, and he knew someone who could do it, so he took a piece of hemp paper from the desk next to him, dipped the brush in ink, and said while drawing: "Slow work and careful work, it doesn't matter if the time is long, but if you want to be delicate, this material will be made of silver, lightweight, only half of the noodles." After speaking, he blew the paper in his hand, which was half of the mask in the V vendetta, and turned around and handed it to the other party.

The shopkeeper took a look, but did not show any surprise, obviously this generation is a breeze for some craftsmen, and quickly put it away: "Son, rest assured, it will be done exquisitely, and after it is done, the small one will be sent to the house." ”

"Good!" Xie Yu smiled, didn't stop much, and then turned around and walked out of the shop after thanking the shopkeeper with a fist, looked at the street, and smiled at Xie Zheng: "Brother made a mask for you, do you like it!" ”

Xie Zheng nodded gratefully, "Brother bothered." ”

"What is polite between brothers, from tomorrow, you will follow me to learn literature and martial arts, it is very hard, are you willing?"

Xie Zheng nodded without hesitation, he knew that if he could really read and practice martial arts with the young master, but the blessing that others couldn't cultivate in eight lifetimes, he would kneel, and was pulled up by Xie Yu and said: "We are brothers now, and we will do this kneeling ceremony in the future." ”

That being said, it will take a few days for this kid to be truly convinced and truly recognize him as an older brother.

Xie Zheng nodded solemnly and said, "My brother is not afraid of hard work. ”

"Good! Let's go, go home, in a few days this generation will be ready, we are going to say hello to our mother, how"

"Oops, oops, oops, sorry, sorry, sorry, the little one who walked distractedly, bumped into this master." I saw a short and sturdy man bump into Xie Yu, as if he had been knocked down, got up and shook it repeatedly, looked up, and ran away in fright: "Ghost ~ ghost ~ ghost!" ”

Xie Yu couldn't cry or laugh a little, this guy didn't have long eyes, and hurriedly stopped Xie Ju and said: "It's okay, it's just an eyeless man, go home." ”

Even the speed of the collision and running was so fast that Xie Ju and his entourage, who had been guarding against the surrounding environment, did not react, and the person disappeared into the vast sea of people.

Xie Zheng was indeed a little dumbfounded on the young master's waist, and hurriedly said, "Brother, that's a thief, your belt and money bag." ”

Xie Yu was startled, looked down, and was dumbfounded, with his skills, he was ripped off to the Yufu to give the noodle gift, this is really a shame to throw home, the money bag is lost, but this belt is never lost, busy with an entourage to take Xie Zheng said: "You go back to the mansion first, you go to look for it separately, Xie Ju and I will go all the way to find the belt." ”

Xie Ju secretly resented that this thief had stolen from the young master without long eyes, and he also knew the importance of the belt, so he hugged his fists and said: "Young master is not in a hurry, the Buddha's subordinates in Jiankang City know, the thief just now must be his subordinate, let's go to find him." ”

Xie Zheng knew that going out in front of him would only attract attention, so he saluted, so he followed his entourage back to his house.

The rest of the retinue scattered and chased after the thief where he had disappeared.

Xie Yu said a little strangely: "Buddha? What is it? ”

Xie Ju knew that the young master had lived in the mansion for a long time, how could he understand this black language, and explained: "In fact, it is all the leaders in this city who steal for a living. ”

Xie Yu knew that there must be a leader in every kind of business, as the saying goes, there are rules for the line, and there is a way for the sideways, that is, these people are the ones who are talking about, nodded and said: "Hurry up and lead the way." ”

Xie Ju walked forward, the two of them walked through the alleys, walked on the avenue, and walked for half an hour before they came to a rather large mansion, Xie Yu stood still, looked at the majestic gatehouse and exclaimed: "I didn't expect this side door to be so far, it seems that the oil and water in it are really rich." ”

Xie Ju looked left and right and said in a low voice: "Young master, this Buddha's surname is Liu, his name is overbearing, and his door is very broad, not only is his family a big business, but the fireworks in the city are his industry, and he has a way with the government officials, officials, and even the Wang family, and our house." ”

Xie Yu was dumbfounded when he heard this: "These messy things, the government is also involved?" ”

Xie Ju had long recognized that the young master had become the master, so he didn't hide it: "Who will spare a lot of money, the master also knows, just turn a blind eye to this matter, these people only steal and don't rob, and they don't hurt people's lives, it can be regarded as a means of making a living." ”

Xie Yu was silent, this theft is unsightly, even Wang Xie and the two families have people involved, I think there must be a lot of flowers given in secret, otherwise the people of the big clan will not risk being scolded and do this humiliating thing, then again, Liu Ba does these things naturally have to be covered, and these people are enjoying life in the big clan with a pleasant face, and they have a good reputation and do things that people despise secretly, which is really sad and ridiculous.

Seeing that the young master was silent, Xie Ju knew what the other party was thinking, and stepped forward to stand in front of the closed door of the house: "Knock, knock, knock." ”

Xie Yu heard this sound and knew that it was a code, and sure enough, the small door next to him poked his head out and whispered: "What's the matter, adult!" ”

"The Buddha is here!"

The head blinked, looked at Xie Ju, looked at Xie Yu, nodded and said, "Come in!" ”

One master and one servant, one in front and one behind, but this time the order was changed, Xie Ju was in front, he was behind, it seems that this military man is familiar with this place.

The house is very wide, from time to time there are capable people in and out, all of them move quickly, even they don't look at it, go through the three moon gates, and don't see a female dependent, I think this Buddha mansion is probably raising a thief's nest.

Menzi took it to a hall and asked, "The Buddha is inside." ”

Xie Ju hugged his fists and walked in with Xie Yu.

Entering the hall, Xie Yu saw a soft bed at the head, on which sat a naked fat man, holding a leg of mutton in his hand, gnawing on his face full of oil, and two teenagers standing next to him, refreshed and bright-eyed, one carrying a wine jug, and the other holding a soup plate.

The fat man lowered his head and raised his eyes, his facial features were squeezed by the fat meat twice, and his eyes were even smaller into a slit, but a terrifying murderous aura suddenly burst out from this slit, staring at Xie Yu and laughing, the mutton foam was on the corner of his mouth and flew exaggeratedly: "Interesting, interesting, you man brought a master here, what do you want to do?" ”

Xie Yu was also surprised, don't look at the fat person in front of him, in his eyes, the fat that was folded everywhere was like a taut spring, which could burst out at any time, and he seemed to sit in an unguarded posture at will, and he couldn't find any flaws in his attack after observing for a while, and he couldn't help but praise it in his heart.

Xie Ju took a few steps forward, raised his hand and said, "Don't eat it yet, this is my young master, I was touched by someone on the street just now, I went to find it." ”

Liu Ba didn't react, he bit the mutton bone fiercely, sucked the bone marrow inside, smashed his mouth, and sucked down his greasy fingers and smiled: "Oh, Xie Gongzi's skills have been touched, don't the elders teach us to be careful every day, go out, fire and disaster prevention and thieves, look, suffer a loss." ”

Xie Yu wanted to laugh a little, but he didn't laugh, stretched out his legs and sat on the soft couch below, grabbed some melon seeds and said: "Brother Liu, the belt of the younger brother is extraordinary, and I will trouble you to find it, and I will thank you again afterwards." ”

Liu Ba put down the broken bones, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and the figure that was piled up into a mountain of meat flashed out, and he rushed straight to Xie Yu, who was calmly sipping melon seeds, and Xie Ju was so frightened that he shouted: "Don't hurt my family"

Weird, weird, Liu Ba's right hand, which was bigger than Xie Yu's head, stretched out his orchid finger and pinched the melon seeds that were about to be imported and stuffed them into his mouth and chewed: "Did you spit out what you ate in your mouth?" ”

Xie Yu smiled, this fat man was very funny, there was an unpredictable meaning on his face, and he said loudly: "Whether you vomit or not depends on Brother Liu's mood, and it also depends on my mood." ”
