Chapter 7: The Old Blind Man
On the way to Zhao Jin's house, Duan Wuyan squinted at Chen Changtian, only to see Chen Changtian's eyebrows furrowed, his face serious, and his ice-like face was almost dripping.
Duan Wuyan immediately stopped Chen Changtian and shouted, "Stop, stop!"
Chen Changtian was stunned for a moment and slowly stopped, but his brows were still furrowed. I only heard Chen Changtian ask, "What's the matter?" Brother Duan?"
Duan Wuyan smiled at Chen Changtian, then patted Chen Changtian on the shoulder again, and responded, "It's nothing." ”
Chen Changtian couldn't help but blame: "Brother Duan, now is the time for human life, don't joke with me." ”
Duan Wuyan smiled again, and pretended to explain lightly: "You don't understand this, do you? When it comes to catching demon beasts, I may indeed be inferior to you." But when it comes to human sophistication, what more do you have to learn from me?"
When Chen Chang heard this, he was puzzled, and then asked again: "I have been practicing in the mountains since I was a child, and in terms of human sophistication, I am indeed inferior to Brother Duan. But now we are going to find out about Xuan Yan, what does this have to do with human feelings?"
Duan Wuyan smiled and said, "Hey, Zhao Jinquan is my brother, a living person, not a demon beast." If you go to someone with an angry face now, they may not be able to cooperate with you. After all, you are just a little Taoist now, and you are not a great road leader, who will listen to you respectfully when they see you for the first time?"
Chen Changtian was slightly stunned, then nodded, and hugged his fist at Duan Wuyan and said, "What Brother Duan said is extremely true, I have been taught below!"
Duan Wuyan couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that Chen Changtian was so respectful to him, and said proudly for a while: "You still have a lot to learn! As for those questions, it's all on me, and I'll be sure to ask them clearly!"
Chen Changtian looked at Duan Wuyan and couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.
Duan Wuyan raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't believe me?"
Chen Changtian sighed and said, "Alas...... I believe in you. ”
Seeing this, Duan Wuyan's heart suddenly changed again, but then again, it was reasonable for this little Taoist priest not to believe in himself. Duan Wuyan said in his heart: "I can't mess things up this time, or on the way to Tianyu Mountain, this little Taoist priest must always look down on me and let me be a cow and a horse?"
Duan Wuyan laughed, and then urged: "Okay, okay, let's go quickly, turn the corner in front and we'll arrive!"
Chen Changtian's eyebrows were still frowning, and his face could drip water.
The two rushed to the door of Zhao Jinquan's house, only to hear a slight cough from inside.
Duan Wuyan didn't bother to think so much, and while knocking on the door with his hand, he called out loudly: "Brother Zhao! Brother Zhao!
However, there was no movement of Zhao Jinquan in the door.
Chen Changtian's eyes immediately turned cold, and he was about to draw his sword. Duan Wuyan hurriedly stopped Chen Changtian and said, "Now you are my follower! You are not allowed to draw your sword without my order!"
Chen Changtian frowned and pressed his sword back again.
Duan Wuyan knocked on the door again and shouted, "Brother Zhao!"
Duan Wuyan shouted a few more times, and there was movement in the house. I only heard a series of extremely light footsteps sounding slightly, and then the wooden door was opened with a "squeak", followed by a strong smell of Chinese medicine, so smoked that Duan Wuyan immediately took a step back and pinched his nose with his hand.
And Chen Changtian has been practicing in Tianyu Mountain for many years, and he has long been accustomed to the smell of herbs, and he doesn't feel that this smell is smoky for a while.
Duan Wuyan fanned his hand in front of his nose while looking towards the door, only to see that it was not Zhao Jinquan standing in front of the door, but Zhao Jinquan's daughter. This Zhao Jinquan was born with a fierce face, but this daughter looks very smart, and her eyebrows and eyes are slightly charming.
However, this Zhao Jinquan's daughter looked like she was suffering from some kind of illness, and she coughed very badly, and in front of Duan Wuyan and Chen Changtian, she had to endure the cough, and her little face turned red for a while.
Duan Wuyan clasped his fists with both hands, and then asked Zhao Jinquan's daughter, "Hey, I'm your father's friend, called Duan Wuyan." ”
Zhao Jinquan's daughter coughed twice and replied weakly: "My father mentioned your ......"
When Duan Wuyan heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "That's great, they're not outsiders!"
But who knew that Zhao Jinquan's daughter continued: "My father said that you will lose every time you gamble, and if you come to the door, you will never lend you money." ”
Duan Wuyan couldn't help but be stunned, his face full of embarrassment.
Chen Changtian saw that the two of them had gone far away, so he had to ask, "Where is your father now?" ”
Zhao Jinquan's daughter said slowly: "My father has to go out from the west gate of the city at this time every day to hunt meat in the mountains and forests not far away. ”
When Chen Changtian heard this, he couldn't help but continue to ask, "Then do you know what kind of meat he hunts?"
Duan Wuyan hurriedly stopped Chen Changtian and said, "Let's hurry to the mountains and forests in the west of the city first!
Chen Changtian couldn't help but be puzzled: "But ......"
"What's the matter!You're my follower now!" Duan Wuyan urged, "Hurry up, hurry up!"
Duan Wuyan pulled Chen Changtian and rushed to the west of the city.
On the way, Duan Wuyan explained to Chen Changtian: "Don't let Zhao Jinquan's daughter know about Xuan Yan!"
Chen Changtian couldn't help but wonder: "Why?"
"Why!" Duan Wuyan sighed and replied, "She's sick like that! If you let her know that his father sells poisonous meat, she won't faint all at once?"
When Chen Chang heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head and said yes again and again.
And at this moment, Duan Wuyan suddenly saw an extremely familiar figure in the crowd.
Chen Changtian also followed Duan Wuyan's gaze, and saw that on the side of the street, there was a person in a black robe walking slowly, looking like he was afraid of attracting the attention of others.
Duan Wuyan immediately rushed forward, Chen Changtian was stunned for a moment, and when he wanted to stop Duan Wuyan, Duan Wuyan had already run in front of that person.
Duan Wuyan lifted the man's hat to cover his head, and said loudly, "Ah! So you're here!"
Seeing that the person who came was Duan Wuyan, the man hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "Don't make a sound! Don't make a sound! Let Hong Sanye catch me, I will be miserable!"
It turned out that the person in the black robe was Zhao Jinquan, and after he learned that Hong Sanye was looking for him in the city, he didn't dare to show his face on the street again, so he could only cover his head and face in this way.
Chen Changtian had slowly walked over at this time.
Duan Wuyan glanced at Chen Chang, and then said to Zhao Jinquan: "Let's keep quiet, let's talk in another place first." ”
At this time, Zhao Jinquan was shocked and frightened, so he had to agree again and again.
The three of them walked along the crowd for a while, and then came to an inconspicuous street corner.
Then Zhao Jinquan begged Duan Wuyan and Chen Changtian: "I beg you not to trouble me! I didn't expect things to come out like this! I also have a sick daughter at home, please let me go!"
Chen Chang frowned and asked, "Tell us, where did you get that meat?"
Zhao Jinquan swallowed his saliva and honestly explained the truth of the matter: "A few days ago, my daughter suddenly fell ill and coughed very badly. I spent a lot of silver taels to treat her. But the money is spent, but the disease is still not good. I really had no choice, so I went and asked the old blind fortune teller if there was any way to cure my daughter's illness. The old blind man told me that he could not cure his illness, but that he could help me earn some more silver. ”
Duan Wuyan and Chen Chang both frowned when they heard this.
Duan Wuyan thought to himself, "That old man seems to really have some skills. Before he said that I transferred yesterday, I really won a lot of money, although I lost back later, but whether I won or lost, I was lucky. ”
I heard Zhao Jinquan continue: "The old blind man asked me to catch a few more rats and roast them in the mountains." After roasting, several large pigs with three heads and six arms will be attracted to it. All I have to do is slaughter the pigs and sell the meat. In this way, I can earn a few taels of silver a day. ”
"Didn't he tell you that this meat is poisonous?" Chen Changtian couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Jinquan replied: "This ...... This and this ......"
Duan Wuyan saw that Zhao Jinquan seemed to be deceitful in his words, and immediately persecuted: "You still dare to lie! If you are not honest, I will send you to Hong Sanye!"
Zhao Jinquan had no choice but to beg for mercy: "I said, I said! That old blind man just asked me to give him a few taels of that big pig's meat every day, and he could ensure that I could win more money in the casino every day." But then I saw that the meat of this big pig was extremely fresh, and it would be a pity if I didn't sell it, so I mixed that meat into Hong Sanye's shop as pork and beef, and made some profits, but I really didn't expect that this meat was poisonous!
"Kill someone?" Chen Changtian couldn't help but shout.
Zhao Jinquan was immediately drunk, and suddenly said with a sad face: "I didn't think about it either, I'm sorry for Aunt Luo of the Luo family, she was originally celebrating her eightieth birthday...... It's all because of me...... It's all because of me!"
Chen Changtian asked loudly, "When is this?"
Zhao Jinquan cried and responded: "Aunt Luo's birthday was held three days ago...... But I passed by the Luo family today, but I saw that the Luo family had a funeral......"
Chen Changtian couldn't help but clench his fists, and his heart was angry.
Zhao Jinquan was still pleading: "I beg you to let me go...... My daughter is still waiting for me to take care of her...... I'll never do that again!"
Duan Wuyan couldn't help but sigh: "You find a place to hide first, and when we finish everything, you can watch the wind and escape with your daughter by yourself......
Chen Changtian's brows were still tightly locked.
Duan Wuyan was worried that Chen Changtian, a nerd, would come back to his senses for a while and become stubborn, and he had to take Zhao Jinquan for his crimes. So he hurriedly said to Zhao Jinquan: "This Dao master didn't say anything but agreed, you hurry up and find a place to hide!"
Chen Changtian suddenly said, "Slow!"
Duan Wuyan and Zhao Jinquan were suddenly in their hearts, for fear that Chen Chang would be embarrassed.
But who knew that Chen Changtian just sighed and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty, I don't blame you." But you need to take me to the old blind man you talked about. ”
As soon as Duan Wuyan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I know where it is, I'll take you there!"
Duan Wuyan then turned his head to Zhao Jinquan and said, "You hurry up and find a place to hide, with me and this Dao Master here, this matter is not a big deal!"
When Zhao Jinquan heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Duan Wuyan and Chen Changtian a few times, and he didn't forget to say in his mouth: "Thank you two masters! Thank you two masters!"
