Chapter 38: Temptation One by One
Knock knock! Ye Sheng pulled the knocker calmly and forcefully, and waited for a moment but still no one responded. Ye Sheng gave up and went to the second house in the neighborhood.
Knock knock! "Who!" With a coquettish shout, a woman with heavy makeup opened the door and glanced at Ye Sheng's ordinary outfit, she frowned, and her voice was sharp, "What are you doing?" Do you want to break into the house and rape me! "Rape you? You don't know how much worse you are than your lover! Ye Sheng sneered, but there was a flattering smile on his face, "The little one just came up to look for the lost owner." I don't know if you recognize this token, girl. ”
Ye Sheng aimed the word 'Ji' on this golden token at this girl, but the girl snorted coldly and closed the door, "This girl has seen through you!" It must be greedy for my beauty and wants to rape me! Do you think I'll be able to trust your vulgar excuses! "......" Ye Shengqiang endured the discomfort in his heart, hurriedly ran away, and continued to walk towards the depths of Jinshan Street.
The second house that Ye Sheng knocked on was a man with five big and three thick, with a blue belt around his waist, and scolded Ye Sheng a few times, and without looking at the token in his hand, he pushed Ye Sheng to the bottom of the steps.
The third family is an old man, who has a haggard face, but he wears it decently, at least the fabric on his body is much more valuable than Ye Sheng's. The old man stood hunched over at the door and chatted with Ye Sheng for a long time, but it was all chickens and ducks, because this old man still had problems with the back of his ears.
Persistently carrying this token to the next house, Ye Sheng looked up at the pair of closed vermilion gates, with old couplets pasted on both sides, 'The sea is at the end of the sky', 'The mountain climbs to the top and I am the peak'. With such a domineering couplet, there are not many people who dare to hang it in front of their mansion.
There is no plaque on the top of the head, and the identity of the people who live in this province is unknown. However, Ye Shengxin was a little determined, and he seemed to have found the right master. Bang bang bang! Ye Sheng knocked on the knocker calmly and powerfully, this yard is huge, covering an area of two acres, and the knocking sound echoes far away. Soon, Ye Sheng heard a sound of agile footsteps approaching.
The door opened, revealing the face of an immature teenager, he looked up and down at Ye Sheng, who was coarse and linen, and a trace of arrogance appeared between his eyebrows, "Who are you?" "The small one is the shop Xiao Er of the North City Gate Teahouse, and this morning, a guest officer left this thing in the teahouse." Ye Sheng held up the golden token engraved with the word 'Ji' in his hand and showed it to the young man, "This is made of gold, it is a valuable thing, and the guest officer must be anxious if he loses this thing." I heard him say that he was coming to visit Jinshan Street, so I have been knocking on doors for a while. ”
"Oh?" The young man was shocked when he saw this token, and after thinking slowly for a moment, "Said, this thing is indeed my young master's, but I really don't know who it belongs to." You come in first! The young man opened a crack in the door, and Ye Sheng followed this narrow gap just past his slender body.
Entering this courtyard, Ye Sheng saw that this spacious and exquisite mansion was no worse than Chen Jinshan's courtyard. Followed the young man to the hall inch by inch, Ye Sheng saw many people in the rivers and lakes who were practicing with knives and guns along the way, and they could feed a hundred people, and Ji was powerless.
Ye Sheng sat on this wooden chair and waited patiently, no one greeted him and he didn't have a cup of tea, Ye Sheng waited for a while, and then saw an old man walking briskly walking in. Dressed in a silk black shirt, with a childish face and crane hair, and a ruddy face. The old man looked to be sixty or seventy years old, but he was still full of energy, his eyes were bright, and there was no doubt that he was a master of unseemly things.
Just now, Ye Sheng walked all the way, and saw the work of Wudang, Stacking, Benlei and other sects in the courtyard, and now this Lao She has unobtrusive martial arts, it seems that this mansion is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
This old man is naturally not Ji powerless. Ji Wuwu is an outstanding young man who has been standing for a long time, no matter how much he indulges in squandering, it is impossible to become an old man with gray hair and beard. Ye Sheng was the first to stand up from the chair, smiled and hugged his fist to say hello, "Little ......"
"I've heard that." The old man sat in the main hall with a smile on his face, stretched out his dry palm and said, "I wonder if the little brother can return this thing to me?" Ye Sheng was embarrassed, clenched the token in his hand and said, "However, the little one is not sure if this thing is really yours!" Why don't you bring this guest with you and give it to him with my own hands?" ”
"You talk a lot of nonsense! It's clearly our stuff! Don't you want to deny it? The brocade-clothed young man snorted coldly, and as he spoke, he was about to clench his fists and beat Ye Sheng. The old man glanced over with a cold look, and just said the word 'retreat' lightly, and the young man's expression stiffened, his body trembled, and he restrained his fierce demeanor, and bowed respectfully and left the guest hall.
"We really can't prove that this token is ours in front of us, and it's a virtue for the little brother to pick up gold. It is also reasonable to prevent others from taking it off. The old man stroked the white beard on his chin with a smile, "My name is Ren Jiu, and people outside call me Uncle Jiu for face." ”
"Hello Uncle Nine." Ye Sheng smiled, sat back in his chair, shook the token in his hand and said, "The little one also knows that a person like Uncle Jiu who owns such a big mansion can't covet the small bargain of this gold medal, but it's better for me to hand it over to the guest officer who lost the gold medal." ”
Ye Sheng looked at Ren Jiu's benevolent eyes that were hidden and sharp, and said with a smile, "If that guest officer is really inconvenient, then Uncle Jiu might as well take out a new gold medal to confront me, then I can rest assured that this gold medal will be in your hands." ”
"Although there is more than one gold medal in the world, it is a pity that the other gold medals are not here." Ren Jiu sighed with some annoyance, "Moreover, I don't know who the guest official you are talking about, there are dozens of people in my mansion, it is impossible to call all of them to you for this little thing, right?" ”
"That's the guest who entered your mansion today." Ye Sheng was curious and puzzled, "Didn't he say he was going to come to Jinshan Street?" Hasn't it arrived yet? "No one is in the house today." Ren Jiu's eyes lit up, and there was a bit of a serious light, "Could it be that person has already encountered an accident?" ”
Ren Jiu was vigilant in his heart, could it be that the person who escorted this gold medal was already dead? "Little brother, describe to me the face of the man you are talking about! I now suspect that he is in deep trouble, or even killed! Ye Sheng was surprised, wouldn't it? Chen Shan has some strength, what kind of person will be unfavorable to him in Longgang?
