Chapter 5 Robbery
[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that the elder Narcissus of the Immortal Dao had just returned to the stronghold on the West Mountain, and after being summoned by Liu Yang, he told her to prepare to start the next step of the Immortal Dao - to cast evil soldiers for Liu Yang and find the Holy Infant Boy. And the next day, Mo Han and Long Gu went to the street together, and by chance, in a rice cake shop, they accidentally knew Lao Huazi Wang, and often came here to buy rice cakes. Under careful questioning, the shopkeeper didn't know the whereabouts of Hanako Wang. But another customer in the store claimed to know where Hanako was. So he wanted to take Mo Han and Long Gu to find King Huazi. I never thought that the world was going down, and people's hearts were sinister. This person also doesn't know the whereabouts of the old flower king. deceived Mo Han and them to accompany him, just to rob. 】
Today's wind and sunshine are beautiful, the city is lively and noisy, and the jade dragon pile is also full of traffic.
Near Yulongdui, there were already large car shops, warehouses and other shops in the city, which naturally became lively after dawn; Moreover, these big car shops and warehouses are all equipped with barns. The breeze swirling on the hillside inevitably smelled of dung and sweat from livestock, mules and horses.
In the Qi family's warehouse, it is no exception.
In the corner, several sturdy mules and horses were sitting on the edge of the trough, bowing their heads and eating the hay and soybeans in the trough. Tethered to a post next to the trough, the gray-haired she-monkey, who was used to avoid horse plague, was sitting on the hay on the ground, scratching her ears and cheeks in the sun.
And there was a pit of fruit on the ground at his feet.
And Mu Qingming, who arrived here, worked hard for a long time to help his workers in the warehouse, and after classifying the goods sent to the warehouse today, he walked to the door of the main house, placed it on the edge of the water tank in the corner of the wall, picked up a water scoop made of sun-dried gourds, made a scoop of water, and drank it with a grunt.
After he drank a few sips and drank a scoop of water, Xiao Heizi stood beside him with a stack of bills.
Mu Qingming put down the water scoop, glanced at the little black man, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”。
"The manifests of goods that need to be entered and exited recently have been registered, please take a look." Xiao Heizi said, and handed the bill of goods in his hand to Mu Qingming.
Mu Qingming rubbed his water-soaked hand on the placket casually, then took the bill of goods and stood at the door to look at it carefully.
After not looking at it for a while, a worker came over and saw Mu Qingming reading the bill of goods, so he stood beside him and whispered something in his ear.
The little black man on the opposite side looked confused, but he couldn't hear clearly what the worker said to Mu Qingming?
However, Xiao Heizi didn't ask questions curiously, nor did he move, still standing in place.
After a while, the worker had finished saying everything, and after Mu Qingming bowed slightly, he left on his own. And Mu Qingming looked at the bill of goods in his hand again.
After a while, Mu Qingming handed back the bill of goods in his hand to Xiao Heizi and said, "The others are nothing, but you still register the goods in warehouse B in detail, otherwise Mrs. Qi will look very troublesome." ”。
Xiao Heizi nodded and took the bill of goods, found the No. B warehouse list that Mu Qingming said, looked at it, answered again, turned around and left.
"Wait." Before he could take a few steps, Mu Qingming stopped Xiao Heizi.
"Young Master Mu, what else do you have to order?" Hearing this, the little black man who stopped turned around and asked.
Mu Qingming frowned slightly, thinking about something thoughtfully, and asked Xiao Heizi, "Heizi, ask you something." You grew up in Kunming, right? ”。
Xiao Heizi nodded his head without thinking and said, "Yes." ”。
At the end, Xiao Heizi added, "What's wrong?" ”。
"It's not a big deal, but do you know where the gentlemen of the Liang are moving around the city, or where they gather?" Immediately afterwards, Mu Qingming asked this.
The breeze rose, and the sound of the surrounding green bamboos sounded with the wind.
Xiao Heizi was stunned for a moment, shook his head silently, and told Mu Qingming that he didn't know this, and then asked curiously, "What?" What is Young Master Mu looking for the gentlemen on the beam to do? ”。
As he spoke, Xiao Heizi's curiosity became a little heavier.
I don't know that Mu Qingming has always been a person who has done his duty, why did he suddenly want to find these gentlemen?
Mu Qingming's eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible loss, and after quickly calming down again, he stretched his brows, smiled, and said to the little black man simply: "It's nothing, I just want to ask them about some personal matters." ”。
Mu Qingming knew that although the gentlemen on the beam were despised, there were many hateful ones. But they often go up and down in the city, walking the streets, and they are also people of intelligence and well-informed. If you want to find the old flower king, you might as well ask these gentlemen on the beam, it will be easier.
After a pause, Mu Qing saw that he couldn't inquire about what he wanted to know from Xiao Heizi, so he asked Xiao Heizi to go about his own business.
After Xiao Heizi left, he stood in place, pondered for a long time, and then turned around and entered the main room.
The breeze rose again, blowing through the small courtyard of the Qi family's warehouse, rolling up the fallen leaves on the ground and blowing them onto the roofs of the surrounding houses......
In the city, the sun shone into the rice cake shop where Mo Han was.
Mo Han said to the shopkeeper in a slightly anxious voice, "If you know the whereabouts of King Hanako, please tell me." ”。
The shopkeeper thought about it, suddenly realized, and said, "Madame's family has a child who is frail and sick, and she wants to recognize Hanako Wang as her godfather, right?" ”。
In the folk, there has always been a legend that if you recognize a godfather, your child will be able to feed you. So much so that people took it seriously.
is the so-called deceitful and deceitful, and I believe it. Therefore, many people recognize a godfather for their children when they are not able to feed them and are full of disasters and diseases.
And the lower the status of this godfather, the easier it seems to be for the child to support.
Therefore, the king of flowers in the city is a sought-after item in this regard. If the children in the family are not easy to support, many people would rather save money and spend money to ask the king of flowers to be a godfather for the children.
The shopkeeper naturally thought of this aspect all of a sudden.
And the shop guys didn't know that Mo Han's real purpose, so naturally the first thing that came to mind was that Mo Han wanted to recognize a godfather for the child.
And Mo Han didn't hesitate, so he nodded along with the words of this guy in the store and said, "Yes, there is a child in the family who is sick and difficult to raise, and they all say that if you recognize Huazi Wang as your godfather, you can get better." ”。
But he secretly thought in his heart: "If it is really so spiritual, will the King of Hanako still lose his soul and have no fixed place?" ”。
But there was still a light smile on his face.
The shopkeeper was proud that he had guessed correctly, and at the same time immediately blurted out to Mo Han: "Then why didn't the lady go to find the current Hanako King?" The last time he came to my store to buy rice cakes was three months ago, and now I haven't seen him for a long time. ”。
I didn't expect that Mo Han was following his words.
As soon as these words came out, Mo Han was inevitably a little disappointed, but he still didn't show it, but reached out and took a few rice cakes and put them in the basket, and said to the shopkeeper to settle the bill.
The shopkeeper turned around and went to the counter, brought an abacus, and paid Mo Han.
At that time, a man who had been in the store for a long time and heard the words of Mo Han and the shop guy came over and said to Mo Han: "Madam, I have seen the old flower king recently. He lives in the depths of our alley right now. ”。
When Mo Han and the Long Gu beside him heard this, they were all secretly overjoyed in their hearts, but soon Mo Han calmed down.
She looked at the man who had come to speak to her, who was of medium build, with a black cloth coat over his body. The thin man had both cheeks sunken slightly.
The appearance is not characteristic, very ordinary.
There is no cunning or sinister gaze in his eyes, and he is calm and composed.
He smiled, but it gave people a warm-hearted feeling and affinity.
"Where is your home?" Mo Han gave the money to Long Gu and asked her to settle the bill, and he said to the enthusiastic man: "If it's convenient, please tell us, we will go to find the old flower king another day." ”。
"Madam, if you don't have any urgent business now, why don't I take you with me now." The man smiled again and said to Mo Han: "This old flower king is erratic, today he is still in the alley of our house, and tomorrow he may go elsewhere." ”。
Mo Han thought about it and felt that it was the same.
The whereabouts of the old flower king are uncertain, and it is not easy to find this person. Anyway, there is no evil spirit on this man, a pure turbid fetus, and there is no threat to Mo Han, so Mo Han nodded and responded.
When the man saw that he had agreed, he said, "Come with me." ”。
Then he walked out of the store first and waited at the door of the store.
Mo Han waited for Long Gu to settle the bill, took Long Gu out of the store, followed the man waiting at the door, and headed towards the south of the city.
"Master, is this person reliable?" As Long Gu walked, she secretly said to Mo Han with her thoughts: "The words of strangers don't seem to be very credible. ”。
At the same time, with a vigilant gaze, he stared at the man leading the way in front of him.
Mo Han was not so vigilant, just nodded slightly in agreement with Long Gu's words, and also used his mind to transmit the voice, and secretly said to Long Gu: "Although there is nothing wrong with being careful, don't be afraid; He's just a turbid fetus, and even if he has any bad intentions, he won't hurt us. ”。
Long Gu thought silently for a moment, and her nervousness subsided a lot, and she continued to follow Mo Han and follow the man towards the south of the city.
The further you go to the south of the city, the more compact the houses become. During the shuttle, the bluestone alleys and the houses on both sides form a labyrinth-like intricate terrain.
Brick houses, New Year's pictures and couplets, as well as chicken coops and chickens basking in the sun outside the door, can be seen everywhere.
But moving forward, the more sparsely populated it becomes.
There are quite a few houses nearby, but the people who live here go to work early. People go to empty houses, and the alleys are deep and quiet. The alley is also very quiet in broad daylight.
The small buildings on both sides also block the sunlight, and most places are cold and dim.
The man quickly took Mo Han and them to a secluded and uninhabited cul-de-sac in the south of the city. In front of them was an adobe wall that blocked the way.
There is not even a single gap between the compact cottages on both sides, which also makes the alley narrow and crowded.
The man stood still in front of the adobe wall, and said coldly to Long Gu, who was looking left and right behind him, and to Mo Leng, who was calm and composed, "It's here." ”。
But all the way around here, not to mention that the people who look like Hanako haven't seen it, not even an outsider has seen it.
In the deep alleys, only the cold wind swirls in the shadows.
The doors and windows of each house on both sides are also closed at this time.
Long Gu, who was bathed in the cold, tensed up all over her body again. Long Gu, who was born with the ability to predict, smelled a trace of danger in the cold wind and the dark shadows around her.
This breath can make people's hairs stand on end, and the muscles of the whole body tense.
When the breath is too strong, the air around it can freeze.
Mu Qingming and Miaobi had already handed over to Long Gu, how to distinguish the various breaths, and for a while she knew that there were hidden dangers around her that she could not see for the time being, hidden out of her and Mo Han's sight.
Immediately afterwards, the man turned to face Mo Han and Long Gu, raised his hand and patted it.
Crisp and loud applause rang out, and the man saw Long Gu's nervousness and vigilant expectation. But seeing Mo Han's calm expression, his heart sank, I don't know if his conspiracy has been discovered, or if there is someone in Mo Han who is secretly protecting and not afraid?
And the applause has already sounded, breaking the silence; The doors of the houses on both sides of the alley, which had been closed doors and windows, opened one after another, and fierce people, armed with sticks or axes, rushed out and surrounded Mo Han and Long Gu.
Yes, there is no old flower king here at all, and the man who led the way just told a lie and lured Mo Han here.
Just because when he was in the rice cake shop, he saw Mo Han and Long Gu wearing them, both of which were made of Shu brocade with clear patterns and exquisite craftsmanship. The hairpin on the head is also very valuable, and the golden hairpin is dotted with emerald plum blossoms.
Just looking at these points, the man decided that Mo Han would not be an ordinary woman, not only did he have money, but he also robbed them of all their jewelry.
So at the moment, he had a bad thought, and it happened that Mo Han was looking for the whereabouts of the old Huazi King, so the man used a lie to guide Mo Han and Long Gu here.
And the men originally lived in this alley, and in the past, they did all the work of roosters and dogs, roadblocks and robberies, or abduction.
A group of fierce people get together, and they don't have the right minds, and the business they do is naturally not a good thing. The place where they lived, also to facilitate their robbery, deliberately lived in a sparsely populated cul-de-sac.
Mo Han and Long Gu looked at these fierce strong men, and came with sharp weapons in their hands. I knew what I had encountered.
Knowing the whereabouts of the old flower king is just a lie.
"It is the world that is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient." Mo Han looked around, and the strong men around him who were eager to try slowly said without being shocked or angry: "Now that the robbers are blatant, do you dare to do it in broad daylight in the city?" ”。
When Mo Han said this, he had already secretly lucked Qi, and pinched out a magic trick in his sleeve, unfolding the enchantment of the mirror flower and the moon, shrouding this vicinity in the enchantment, and isolating it from the world.
"Stop talking nonsense and call out all the valuable things on you." The man who brought their master and apprentice here didn't know who he had provoked, and immediately said angrily to Mo Han: "If you don't hand it over, I will beat you up today, snatch the things and sell you all to the Qinglou." ”。
What will happen to these robbers? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
[The mother monkey of the Lock Dragon Man Small Theater avoids horse plague - horse plague avoids horse plague from a folk legend in ancient times, which is to mix the urine of the female monkey with horse urine and feed the horse to the horse, which can avoid the horse from getting sick. The people of the Eastern Han Dynasty believed that raising monkeys in the stables would be more effective in avoiding horse plague, so the monkeys were known as Bi Ma Wen. (Therefore, in Journey to the West, Heavenly Court asked Sun Wukong to serve as Bi Ma Wen, which seemed to recognize his ability and appointed him, which was in essence a great mockery of Sun Wukong by the Heavenly Realm.) )】
