Chapter 66: Choice
Su Ciwen's face immediately changed, and he was very ugly, but he still asked, "What's going on?" ”
The little carpenter didn't want to hide it from her, so he told Su Ciwen about the fact that he had met someone from Huamen in the Xichun Courtyard in the gate building of the Mayuan Gate Building and pretended to be her inside, and then almost succeeded in the assassination.
After finishing he said: "You should have Huamen's eyeliner by your side, they know this information, so they will prescribe the right medicine and hide it......"
Su Ciwen finally understood, and said: "In other words, I sent you out of the city, but in fact, I exposed your location, but harmed you, right?" ”
The little carpenter nodded and said yes.
Su Ciwen's eyes turned red all of a sudden, tears welled up in his eyes, and he choked up and said, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”
When the little carpenter saw her like this, he knew that she might be thinking too much, so he hurriedly said: "Actually, the two of us don't want to sneak around like this and leave like mice, so we just want to use you here to fight with the people of Huamen again, and we can't talk about anything harmful...... Okay, that's the matter, Huamen has already received the news, and now that we haven't gone out of the city as originally planned, they should be coming over soon, you hurry up, don't get involved in this matter anymore. ”
The little carpenter persuaded them to go, for in a moment there would be a bloody battle here.
He didn't want Su Ciwen to be injured in this chaotic battle.
But Su Ciwen's emotions were extremely excited, her eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Why are you so stupid?" Endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky, and the egg doesn't touch the stone, why are you so stupid? Why are you fighting for that breath, you're going to die......"
The little mother lowered her head and opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to speak.
Qu Menghu, who was next to him, said: "When I was very young, I once followed a European missionary in Nanyang. That man was very special, wise, intelligent, and very cultured, and he once asked me a question when I was faced with a big decision......"
Su Ciwen didn't expect that the little carpenter, a not very reliable childhood friend, would have such an experience, so he couldn't help but look at him, and then asked, "What did he ask you?" ”
Qu Menghu said slowly: "He asked me - do you want to be a hero for a minute, or a coward for a lifetime?" ”
After saying this, he grinned and said to Su Ciwen: "Guess how I chose at that time?" ”
Su Ciwen guessed: "You want to be a hero for a minute?" ”
Qu Menghu laughed, shook his head, and then said: "No, I told him at the time that I chose to be a coward for the rest of my life, because being a hero, in a minute, I might die - that was the last time I saw the priest, and he told me that I was so cowardly, it was not what he wanted, and then he told me to get out of ......"
When he said this, there were tears in the corners of Qu Menghu's eyes.
Then he said: "That person's ability is really strong, after I returned to China, I have also seen a lot of masters in the rivers and lakes, and even seen several masters around the revolution in Guangfu, not as strong as the priest, if I can always follow him to learn, until now, I may not need to work so hard......."
Su Ciwen never expected Qu Menghu's answer to be like this, and couldn't help asking: "Since you have chosen to know the current affairs, why do you want to be a hero now?" ”
Qu Menghu smiled and said, "Because I found that people live a simpler life, maybe the road will be a little better." ”
At this time, the haggis soup they ordered was ready, and the stall owner scooped out two spoonfuls of soup with mutton fat from the hot soup pot, put it in a sea bowl full of haggis, sprinkled green onions in the soup, poured a scoop of red oil chili peppers, and served it with scalded vermicelli.
Qu Menghu began to drink soup and eat meat, and the little carpenter saw that someone on the street in the distance was starting to clear the field, and hurriedly said to Su Ciwen: "They are here, you should leave quickly." ”
Su Ciwen ignored him, but sat down with a butt, and then said to the boss, "Bring me a bowl too...... Uh, don't add chili peppers. ”
She is a native of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and she studies in Shanghai all the year round, so she can't eat spicy.
The little carpenter was annoyed, and pushed her, saying, "Why don't you listen to persuasion, a woman?"
Su Ciwen gave him a blank look, and said You two want to be heroes for a minute, why do you ask me to be a coward for the rest of your life?
The little carpenter swung the cold snow knife wrapped in rags on his back to the table, and said coldly: "I have a skill, what do you have?" ”
Su Ciwen smiled and said Do you think I will be a burden?
As she spoke, her right hand stretched out to him, and a blue lotus flower appeared in the palm of her hand, which was in full bloom and lifelike.
Seeing this, Qu Menghu couldn't help but whistle, then grabbed a piece of the haggis in the bowl and threw it on the roof, and a black shadow jumped up, bit the lamb liver in his mouth, and swallowed it.
The black shadow was a tiger skin fat cat, and it chose to stand on the roof of the alley to help release the wind.
Qu Menghu put down his chopsticks and said: "Tiger skin, in today's battle, if you and I are still alive, I will relieve the restrictions on you, whatever you want to do in the future, you can go with you, how about it?" ”
The tiger skin fat cat "meowed" on the top of the eaves as a response.
As soon as Qu Menghu interrupted like this, all the words of persuasion in the little carpenter's stomach were also choked back, and he said to Su Ciwen angrily: "Whatever you want." ”
He ignored the other party and began to bury his head in the soup.
But not to mention, this haggis soup is really delicious, although the smell is there, but it is not heavy, and it is neutralized by various spices, exuding an attractive smell.
The little carpenter was in a bad mood, but after drinking several sips, his stomach was warm and comfortable.
But he forgot to be angry with Su Ciwen, but seriously dealt with the food in front of him.
Su Ciwen saw that the little carpenter and Qu Fatsan were eating so deliciously, and couldn't help urging the stall owner to hurry up, the stall owner was not very good-tempered, and he was about to raise his eyebrows to refute it immediately, but when he saw such a delicate and tender girl, he suddenly lost his temper.
He used his fastest speed to bring Su Ciwen up, but Miss Su took a sip of soup and subconsciously frowned.
Is this soup really as delicious as these two guys show?
Why does she feel so-so-so?
Su Ciwen asked in a low voice, Qu Menghu smiled, and said that you have fine clothes and jade food on weekdays, you have never eaten anything delicious, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas are exchanged, can you compare with us rough men who rarely have meat?
Indeed, not to mention whether this haggis soup is good or bad, at least for the little carpenter, this New Year's Festival, it can be a little fishy, which is already very good.
Su Ciwen still couldn't accept it in the end, so he stopped eating after two sips.
Qu Menghu asked her if she didn't want it, so she and the little carpenter divided the rest of her, and after the three of them finished eating, their stomachs were hot, and when they wiped the oil on their mouths and stood up, there were no more people left on this street, which was originally bustling with people.
Farther away, the little carpenter had already seen the people of Huamen blocking and diverting people in an organized manner.
When Qu Menghu saw this, he couldn't help but laugh, and said to the little carpenter: "People, sometimes they are so arrogant that they forget who they are - or that missionary, he told me a Western proverb that says, 'If God wants to make people die, he must first make them crazy', and these people can't imagine that they are going to die." ”
He moved his muscles and even jumped, and the little carpenter handed him the cold snow knife and said if he wanted to use it? It's probably a little used to me, that's why that's why you can get used to it.
Qu Menghu shook his head, and then took out a long knife from his pocket.
This method shocked the little carpenter and Su Ciwen, and the haggis soup stall owner next to him had a hellish expression.
Qu Menghu nodded the little carpenter with his chin and said, "Give money." ”
The little carpenter hurriedly paid the bill, and Qu Menghu said, "Didn't I tell you to go to southern Yunnan before?" That's where the stuff came from, this bag doesn't look big, but it can hold a lot of things, amazing, right? I'm also lucky, I've heard that only the top Dao Sect or the big guys in the Cultivation Holy Land have it......"
He weighed the long knife in his hand and walked forward, and at the end of the long street in the distance, Pan Zhiyong had already appeared. This man saw that the little carpenter and Qu Menghu actually appeared on the streets of Jinguancheng with a swagger, and felt a great provocation, and rushed over with a group of people.
Qu Menghu unsheathed the long knife, and then pointed it at Pan Zhiyong from a distance to provoke.
Sure enough, when Pan Zhiyong saw it, his face became more and more ugly, and his steps were much faster.
Su Ciwen looked left and right, and then asked in a low voice, "I see that you are confident, do you have any plans?" Are there any reinforcements coming? ”
Qu Menghu laughed and said to Su Ciwen: "There is only one word in the plan, and that is - do." ”
Su Ciwen couldn't stop him with this sentence, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, and the little carpenter silently untied the wooden arrow tied around his body - this thing was originally used to hide the curse aura, and now that he took the initiative to stand up, there was no need to continue to carry it.
Qu Menghu saw it and said, "Give it to me, it took a lot of effort to get this thing out, and I will be useful for a while." ”
He took the arrow and withdrew it into his bottomless pocket.
At this time, Pan Zhiyong had already walked to him, he was holding a long sword in his hand, the sword body was made of cold iron, pointing directly at the little carpenter and Qu Menghu, but said to Su Ciwen: "Miss Su, I know your father and I also know each other, and we also have business dealings with each other. ”
Su Ciwen was also out of his mind at the moment, smiled sweetly at the guy, and said, "I'm me, my father is my father, I'm going to help Brother Gan today, what's the matter?" ”
Pan Zhiyong smiled coldly, and after saying good things, there was no more nonsense.
He didn't pay attention to Su Ciwen anymore, but raised the iron sword in his hand high, and when the sword was raised to the highest point, a large number of people poured out of the entire long street, the front and back ends, and several alleys.
And on the roofs of the buildings on both sides, there are also longing figures, appearing.
Pan Zhiyong stared coldly at the little carpenter and Qu Menghu, and did not say another word to them, but ordered: "Kill!" ”
