Chapter 777: Cave Master
At the entrance of the stairs, a man in a cotton robe was slowly coming up, he was wearing a fur hat on his head, a Chinese face, not bad-looking, tall and big, and even heroic between his eyebrows, but at this time, his face was angry, and he didn't notice Chu Huan by the window, he sat down at a table next to him, raised his hand to take off his fur hat, threw it on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Man, bring the wine." ”
Chu Huan remained silent, but his heart was quite surprised, this man who suddenly went upstairs, Chu Huan recognized it at a glance.
He remembered clearly that when he was in Tongzhou City, he saw Lin Dai'er disguised as a fish seller, and he was soft-hearted and let Lin Dai'er go once, that time Lin Dai'er did not enter Tongzhou City alone, there was a man disguised as a fish seller and appeared in Tongzhou City with Lin Daier.
Chu Huan recognized at a glance that the person who had just gone upstairs was suddenly Lin Dai'er's companion.
Chu Huan didn't expect to meet this person here, he knew that Lin Dai'er's blood would be almost wiped out, and only a very few people would survive, Lin Dai'er was one of them, and this man was naturally also a member of the Blood Society.
The man appeared here, does that mean that Lin Daier is also in Taiyuan City?
Chu Huan didn't know that this man's name was Lu Tianyou, and Lu Tianyou didn't expect that as soon as he went upstairs, he would be recognized, he sat on the chair, his complexion was very bad, and when the guy sent a pot of wine, he reached out and grabbed the wine jug, opened the lid of the pot, and poured it straight up, just like drinking water, the guy had never seen anyone drink like this, standing next to him in a daze.
Lu Tianyou's pot of wine bottomed out in an instant, and when he saw the stunned shopkeeper, he said angrily: "Don't go and get the wine, take the jar." He shook his hand, "What is this?" He threw the flask on the ground and it was smashed in an instant.
The guy was taken aback, but he didn't leave immediately, and said cautiously: "Guest officer, you ......!" ”
Lu Tianyou didn't say a word, took out a silver ingot from his arms and put it on the table, and sneered: "Are you afraid that I won't give you money for wine?" Do you see if that's enough? ”
The man didn't dare to say any more, and hurried down to get the wine.
Chu Huan was puzzled, this Lu Tianyou seemed to have a strong liver fire, and this was only a pot of wine poisoned, how could he feel that he was going crazy with alcohol.
He looked at the Fuquan Inn diagonally opposite, and saw that it was still a restless gentleman, Chu Huan sighed, at this time, it seems that the other party will not come again.
Lu Tianyou's mood was obviously very bad, his face was gloomy, and the guy sent two more jars of wine, Lu Tianyou didn't spend much effort, so he solved the two jars of wine, Chu Huan was surprised by Lu Tianyou's amount of wine.
He squinted at the past, Lu Tianyou was obviously drunk, got up, seemed to have come over to drink a few glasses of wine, left the silver ingot, and staggered downstairs.
When the guy saw the ingots on the table and saw that Lu Tianyou was leaving, he finally shouted: "Guest officer, there is still ...... money left in this account!" ”
Lu Tianyou had already walked to the staircase, and he didn't look back, just shook his arm and said with a little drunkenness: "You keep it for ...... to buy a coffin in the future!" "Wobbly downstairs.
When the guy saw Lu Tianyou going downstairs, he spat at the staircase and scolded softly: "Your whole family wants a coffin." ”
"Everyone needs a coffin, it's just sooner or later, and it's already a very happy thing for many people to have a coffin to hold when they die." As soon as the man finished speaking, a voice sounded beside him, and the man was taken aback, but saw that a man had already passed by him, and he hurriedly turned back, and saw that it was the guest who had left the window, and there was broken silver on the table, which was enough to settle the bill.
Chu Huan followed Lu Tianyou out of the restaurant, keeping a distance, Lu Tianyou even walked slowly down the long street to the east, Chu Huan mixed in with the crowd, pulled the brim of his hat down, tightened the cotton robe, and followed behind.
Lu Tianyou appeared in Taiyuan, Chu Huan concluded that Lin Dai'er was also in Taiyuan, he didn't know why Lu Tianyou was drinking here alone, but he faintly felt that Lin Dai'er and her companions must have ulterior motives when they appeared in Taiyuan City.
He only felt that the situation in Taiyuan was becoming more and more complicated and exciting.
The cold wind was biting, Lu Tianyou walked out for a while, and seemed to be woken up by the cold wind for a few minutes, stopped, looked around, Chu Huan had already turned his back, and Lu Tianyou continued to move forward, and his steps were obviously faster.
When he got to the street, he turned to another street, and there were a lot fewer pedestrians on this street, Chu Huan stretched the distance a little longer, and the sparse pedestrians made this street much more deserted than the street just now.
Suddenly, Chu Huan felt that Lu Tianyou's footsteps became faster, and he also sped up at the moment, keeping up, he wasn't sure if Lu Tianyou noticed anything, when he arrived at the mouth of an alley, Lu Tianyou glanced back, but Chu Huan had already lowered his head, it seemed that he was just a passerby, Lu Tianyou flashed and turned into the alley, Chu Huan hurriedly followed, and he was about to reach the mouth of the alley, but he heard someone behind him shouting: "Chu Huan, why are you here?" ”
Chu Huan was stunned, turned around, but saw more than a dozen people coming and going on the street, his eyes swept over, but no one looked at him.
He frowned, these dozen or so people looked like they were just passers-by, nothing unusual, Chu Huan ignored them, turned to the mouth of the alley, and looked inside, but Lu Tianyou was no longer there.
Chu Huan sneered in his heart, and when he turned around, the call just now was obviously someone deliberately delaying himself, but the sparse pedestrians on the street seemed to be just ordinary people, and each of them could call out the call just now, but Chu Huan had no chance of judging who called him, but one thing Chu Huan could be sure of, that person called his name, even if he didn't know the other party, the other party must know him, could it be that he was so cautious, but his whereabouts were still targeted?
Lu Tianyou has disappeared, Chu Huan naturally will not continue to search, he returned to the restaurant along the same way, and saw that the Sikong gentleman was still in the teahouse, Chu Huan frowned, this time it is finally certain that the person who meets the Sikong gentleman will definitely not come again.
I followed Lu Tianyou just now, if the other party was a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, then he must have met with Sikong Junzi at this time, since such a great opportunity has never appeared, it can only mean that the other party has given up this joint.
……
……
There are many mountains and rivers in Anyi Road, in spring and summer, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, there are scenery everywhere, when winter arrives, there is also a different scenery, the big Qimeng Mountain with a radius of more than 200 miles, at this time it is like a layer of white veil, looking at it from afar, the undulating Daqimeng Mountain is majestic and mighty, and it can almost be painted.
The owner of the Great Qimeng Mountain Range is a ghost man.
Daqimeng Mountain is located in the north of Taiyuan City, two hundred miles away from Taiyuan City, and is already in the territory of Queensland, Anyi Road.
The Ghost Fang people almost went bankrupt and bought the Great Qimeng Mountain, and since then, the Great Qimeng Mountain has become their place to stay, and for many years, they have relied on this mountain range to survive from generation to generation.
The mountains of the Great Qimeng Mountain are undulating, there are forty or fifty peaks of large and small, the peaks are large and small, the sixteen rich people of the ghost side went bankrupt and bought the Great Qimeng Mountain, and these sixteen surnames got the Great Qimeng Mountain, divided the area according to the proportion, and now the ghost people who live in the Great Qimeng Mountain, the old and the young add up to more than 13,000 people.
The ghost people were originally in a weak position, so they have always been extremely united, and the sixteen cave masters each manage their own areas and clansmen, and all the ghost people have their common leader, that is, the ghost master of the ghost side.
The winter snow is covered with the Great Qimeng Mountain, and it is beautiful to look at from afar, but for the ghost people, winter is their worst enemy, and the last thing they want to see is the white snow.
When the heavy snow falls, it means that all the ghost people can only live in their own wooden houses and sit on the empty mountains.
The snow covers the mountain, and you can't even go out, because there are many traps hidden under the white snow.
For a long time, the Ghost Fang people have been waiting for the grain to be delivered from Taiyuan City, and they work hard at sunrise and sunset, just to be able to exchange the fruits of their labor with their hands for enough food for them to survive.
In previous years, winter food had already arrived, but this time it was almost two months past the time limit, and the food could not arrive, and many families were already famine.
The cave masters will send people to inquire about the news of the ghost lord almost every day, and the ghost lord will personally go down the mountain to Taiyuan City for food and negotiate with the government, but more than half a month has passed, and there has been no news.
The ghost people do not go down the mountain easily, although they are now part of the people of Great Qin, but the original people have always rejected them very much, and even have been full of hostility towards them, they are unwilling to conflict with the original people, the only thing they can do is to guard their land and live honestly.
Yi Gusi is the master of the sixteen caves of the Great Qimeng Mountain, the second person after the leader of the ghost lord Hexi Valley, his clan has the most people in the ghost side, but the ghost people elect the ghost master, never by the number of the clan, but by wisdom and prestige.
Yi Gusi's wooden house was very large, he was nearly fifty years old, dressed in animal skins, there was a fire in the house, and a large necklace hung around his neck, and many wood carvings were strung on it.
Because of the indiscriminate hunting in the early years, the prey has become very scarce, and the ghost party once forbade the clansmen to hunt, unless the ghost lord ordered the organization to hunt, and whoever hunted privately on weekdays would be punished by the clan.
Every year, the ghost people will hold three or four hunts, the prey hunted, will be distributed to the clansmen, everyone gets not much meat, will be dried into dried meat and stored, in case of emergency, for the ghost people, they are most worried about year after year, is the situation of food shortage, there has been such a tragedy, one winter, the ghost people because of the lack of food, hundreds of people starved to death, this has become a nightmare for the ghost people's hearts, and has been vigilant.
The cave owner Yi Gusi didn't seem to be in a very good mood, he was holding a wine bowl in his hand, he was already a bowl of wine, and he wanted to pour another bowl, but he picked up the wine jar, the portion was very light, and he knew that there was not much wine in it, so he finally put down the wine jar, walked to the door of the house, looked at the snow on the mountain, and was full of sadness.
The ghost master is not there, as the second person of the ghost people, he not only has to think about his family, but also for the survival of tens of thousands of ghost people, the ghost people have worked hard for half a year, and the goods have been sent out, but the other party has not been able to send the food that the ghost people rely on for the winter as promised, which makes the ghost people face a dangerous predicament, and at the same time, Yi Gu Sixin is full of great anger.
The original people can't be trusted, Yi Gusi has always thought so.
