Chapter 173 Life
Looking at the woman's appearance, I was silent for a while, not knowing what to say, so I could only reply lightly: "It's okay!" ”
Suddenly, it dawned on me that I had one more question left unasked.
"Well, I have one more question for you......" "What?" You said. ”
"Didn't you say before that I was the second squirt you met that caught your attention, I wondered, who was the first one? Is it a man in a black robe? ”
The woman looked surprised, "How do you know?" ”
After listening to the woman's words, I was still a little excited in my heart, and I said that I always felt that something was missing just now, so it was here! "Can you tell me what the black-robed man is doing here?"
"That person is very strange, he came here suddenly, as if he was looking for something, I wanted to drive him away, but his strength was too terrifying, when facing him, I didn't dare to move directly, there was a very strong sense of oppression! I thought he had come to clean me up, but he simply looked at me, searched the castle, took a book and left...... By the way, if I'm not mistaken, that book seems to be the one that Abin got back then! ”
Looks like it's got what he's looking for, and I guessed right! However, I was curious what kind of book would arouse his great interest! "So you know what that book is called? Is there anything in it? ”
The woman thought for a while before she said: "I haven't read that book in detail, what is the specific content, I have forgotten it for so many years, I only remember that the book is called life!" ”
Life?! As soon as I heard the name, I knew that there must be an extraordinary connection with my destiny, and I understood why the man would come to pick it up himself.
"Thank you!"
After thanking the woman, I left the castle.
When I returned to the village chief's house, the village chief looked at me and asked curiously about the castle, but I didn't say anything, just reminded the village chief that in the future, the castle should never be moved, and I should not mention it to outsiders.
The village chief said yes, and after a day's rest there, I set out on the way back.
Although the harvest of this trip was not very big, and I didn't get much information about the black-robed man, it can't be said that there was no gain at all, at least I knew that they were still looking for these things, and I clearly understood that sooner or later they would come back to me!
When I returned to the imperial capital, I didn't go directly to the detective agency, but kept wandering on the road, walking, distracting, and soothing my mood.
Before I knew it, I came to a street, this street is called Lao Xiang Street, but basically the locals call it Shenjia Street, as for why? Because it's basically a fortune teller here.
This is also after opening a detective agency, I only knew that there is such a street in the imperial capital, if I had known, I would definitely not have opened a detective agency, just set up a stall in this place, after all, it is too expensive to open a detective! In fact, when I knew about this place, I even had the idea of closing the detective agency and coming here directly, but the contract had already been signed, the money had been paid, and besides, it was better to have a place to sleep than to set up a stall here, so I dismissed this idea when I thought about it.
I don't know how I came here all of a sudden, but since I'm here, I'm going to go in and take a look to see how many people are gods here, and how many people are really capable of it.
As soon as I walked in, I saw a large group of people gathered around, not knowing what was happening.
"Big brother, what's going on here?"
I stepped forward and asked a buddy standing in the back.
"Isn't this the Cheng family coming here to find someone, saying that whoever can save the old man of his family must be rewarded heavily!"
Cheng family! This is one of the four major families in the imperial capital, and its background and power are absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary people.
In particular, the Cheng family also has Junfang's background! "Then why don't you all come forward?"
The man looked at me with a mentally retarded look, "Boy, I'm afraid you're going to live too long, we people, just deceive the little people, if you don't have any real skills, who dares to go!" It's okay to say that if you can't be cured, you know that you are lying, and you don't know how you died! ”
After listening to this person's words, I glanced at him with disdain, this person is a proper magic stick, and he can't do anything, just like he said, he will deceive the little people.
"Shame!"
After saying that, I was ready to leave, and I really didn't bother to stand with these people.
After looking there for a long time, I found that no one dared to step forward, and I knew that all the people here were liars like men, and they had no real skills.
I didn't expect the man to grab me, "Shame? Say who is ashamed, you have the ability! You go, if you have the ability! ”
I'm not going to pay attention to him, joke, do I have what it takes to show them? Shaking off his hand, I was about to leave.
Who knew that the man suddenly shouted into the middle of the crowd: "Cheng Shao, there is someone here who said that he can save your old man!" ”
Damn, I didn't think this man would make such a bad move.
That Cheng Shao heard the shouts here and walked towards me.
He arched his hand and said to me, "Master, are you saying that you can save my old man?" ”
"! Who is this? How come you've never seen it? ”
"yes, he's never been seen on this street."
"Probably new?"
"New to such a dick? Do you dare to take over the affairs of the old man of the Cheng family? ”
"Young man, young and competitive, I guess I have learned two brushes, and I think I can do it!"
"That's really young, I don't know how to write dead words...... there are more and more discussions around me, which makes me more and more unable to get off the stage, and then look at this Cheng Shao, I know that if I dare to say that I didn't say this today, then I will definitely not be able to get along in the imperial capital.
"That's what I said, that's right, I do have the ability to save your old man."
Cheng Shao listened to my words, and instead of being very happy, he said to me with a serious face: "Master, you must know that if you lie to me, the consequences of provoking our Cheng family will be very serious. ”
I know that this is what he wants to remind me that I must not lie to them, if this is usually said to me, I will definitely turn around and leave, but in this situation, it is really difficult to ride a tiger.
"Don't worry, if I can't save it, you can do whatever you want with me!"
When I heard me say this, the man who shouted just now had a smug look on his face, and he probably thought I was dead.
