44 Miao Jiang stranger
Xiao Nan actually didn't want to find the person from Miao Jiang in 10,000.
Because this person really represents too many keys and possibilities, and being related to him is like falling into the abyss.
It's just that Xiao Tianyou has appeared by his side, and he must try his best to find all the factors that are beneficial to him.
He couldn't predict whether it would be a blessing or a curse for him to find this man from Miao Jiang.
It's like gambling.
His only criterion for judging is that when he first saw him, he didn't kill him.
Perhaps, this person is able to communicate.
But when you meet, how do you communicate with him? What can you offer? Can't you light up all the hole cards as soon as you come up? He doesn't have many hole cards in his hand either.
"Do you smoke?" Liu Qian suddenly said, "If you don't smoke, just order one for me." ”
As he spoke, he toed open the drawer of the table in front of him, which contained a pack of cigarettes and matches.
"Of course I'm going to try such an old smoke." Xiao Nan said. He smokes, but rarely smokes.
"Ancient? I just bought it the other day. Liu Qian said.
Xiao Nan then lit a cigarette for both him and himself, and put the cigarette into Liu Qian's mouth.
After taking a few puffs of cigarettes, Liu Qian suddenly asked, "Have you made up your mind?" Once you take the initiative to find that Miao Jiang person, you may have jumped into the mud puddle from then on. ”
He seemed to be able to see through what Xiao Nan was thinking.
"Do you think I'm not in the mud now?" Xiao Nan said, "This smoke is good." ”
"It's good." Liu Qian hooked the corners of his mouth, "You look hesitant, but you look like him." ”
"Thirteen less?" Xiao Nan said.
"It's that rotten man." Liu Qian said vaguely with a cigarette holder.
"So, what kind of person do you think can resist your hypnotic control?" Xiao Nan asked with a puff of smoke.
"A person with extremely tenacious willpower, or a madman." Liu Qian said.
"Which one do you think I am?"
"You're neither, it's a special species I've ever seen." Ryu leaned back and leaned back on the mat, "But I have a hunch that you may be a key person. This kind of foreknowledge is probably also an innate talent of mine. ”
"Maybe it's not called foresight, but the ripples of time warp are affecting you." Xiao Nan said something that Liu Qian didn't understand, "Then I'll go along with your feelings." I'm going to find that Miao Jiang man.
You didn't dare to alarm him, so you told me on purpose, right? ”
"You don't really look like a nerd who reads books." Liu Qian said, "I want to have two drinks with you more and more." ”
"So, you also agree that we have a preliminary friendship, and I have to remind you that people who have something to do with the back garden have died miserably." Xiao Nan said.
"Thanks for the reminder, but I don't care anymore." Liu Qian stretched out a foot and threw the cigarette butt out of his mouth.
"Aren't you afraid of causing a fire?" Xiao Nan said.
"You're being too cautious, scholar." Liu Qian laughed.
According to the address Liu Qian said, Xiao Nan finally came to a corner of the city that was more secluded and remote than Liu Qian's small shop, which was basically an alley composed of bungalows, only a little better than the shantytown, at least the houses were made of bricks.
The rental house where the Miao Jiang people live is a small courtyard with a single door, and probably in this era, this kind of courtyard is extremely popular. Xiao Nan asked Ah Cheng to knock on the door first, but he didn't know if the other party was there. After knocking for a while, someone actually came to open the door.
As soon as the man opened the door, Xiao Nan recognized through the other party's eyes that this person was the person who confronted him that night.
When he was not masked, he turned out to be a heroic young man, even with a bit of a foreign feeling, and his facial features were slightly deep. He has changed into the clothes of the locals, but the silver earrings he wears still show the customs of the ethnic minorities in him.
As soon as he opened the door, there was a smoky smell coming out of the door, which could be described as thick smoke.
"Are you setting fire?" Xiao Nan spoke first, because the smoke began to gush out along the crack in the door.
"I'm smoking bacon." Youth Road.
"I think you're burning charcoal." Xiao Nan said.
The young man ignored him, but turned back into the courtyard, and after a while, the sound of watering was heard, and the smoke gradually disappeared.
Xiao Nan then motioned for Ah Cheng to get his wheelchair into the yard.
After entering the courtyard, I found that this courtyard was even smaller than the small courtyard of Ah Cheng's house, and a brazier was placed in the middle of the courtyard, and the meat roasted on it was already dark.
"Young Master, is this also the place where you collect rent? This man looks poorer than our family! Ah Cheng looked around. There is only one hut in the small courtyard, even the door panels and windows are gone, and the house is surrounded by walls.
The young man from Miao Jiang was cooking the brazier, and he picked up the piece of meat and looked at it again, which seemed to be extremely pity.
Xiao Nan couldn't help but say, "How about I invite you to dinner?" ”
"I don't have any money." The other party actually replied to him directly.
"Since it's for you, I'll pay for it."
"I don't have the money to pay you back." This man is really terrifyingly upright.
"You Miao Jiang people, don't you have the custom of entertaining? Do you have to pay back for your treats? Xiao Nan asked rhetorically.
"We invite sincere and kind guests, not people full of trickery." The young man got up from the ground, his trousers were obviously too short, his shirt was too small, he was long but he looked strong and lean, these clothes obviously did not fit, I don't know where he got the clothes.
"How do you speak? My young master is here to collect rent, and inviting you to dinner is enough to lift you up! Ah Cheng said angrily.
Xiao Nan hurriedly stopped Ah Cheng, gave him some money, and told him to go to the market to buy some wine and food.
"Young master, I think I'm still here, this outsider doesn't know what to do, I'm afraid I'm going to make trouble later." Ah Chengdao.
"It's okay, we've met, that's how he used to talk." Xiao Nan said, "We are also half friends. ”
Although Ah Cheng was skeptical, because Xiao Nan was not kind to his brother and sister, he respected and trusted Xiao Nan very much, hesitated for a moment, and went out.
After Ah Cheng left, the young man said, "You will put gold on your face, when did I say that we are friends?" You came to me, what do you want from me? ”
"I just want to get acquainted with you, and by the way, I want to remind you that there are many dangers within the Xiao family, and I see that you seem to be intending to break into the Xiao family last time." Xiao Nan said.
The young man snorted, he turned around suddenly, and he clearly didn't see that he was carrying a knife, but at this moment, a long knife instantly slashed in front of Xiao Nan, and stopped steadily only a fraction away from his eyes.
And Xiao Nan didn't even blink his eyes.
"You're not afraid?" The youth asked.
"You didn't kill me the last time we met, and I don't think you're killing innocent people." Xiao Nan said.
"You are not supposed to be in this world." The young man said the same thing as that day, "That's what my sword told me." But you are not dead, nor are you an evil spirit, and even you have no evil spirits.
I advise you to leave that Xiao Mansion as soon as possible. It's a den of evil spirits. ”
"If I could have left, I would have left a long time ago." Xiao Nan said, "My name is Xiao Nan, can I get acquainted with you?" ”
This is the first time that Xiao Nan has reported his real name in this era.
"My name is 'Feng' in your Han language. But you seem to prefer to add a surname, since I am from Miao Jiang in your mouth, call me Miao Feng. The young man withdrew his knife.
Xiao Nan said: "I won't ask you about the purpose of your visit, let alone hinder your actions, I just hope that one day, you really want to face the people of the Xiao family and let me and my relatives and friends go." They are all good people, not the sons and servants of the Xiao family.
Correspondingly, I will do my best to help you, but my ability is limited, and the help I can provide is also limited. ”
"Since my knife didn't kill you, it means that you are at least just an ordinary person. I'm not going to kill indiscriminately, and I'm not going to say your name. Miao Feng said coldly, "But I won't accept your help either, because I don't want to owe you favors." Your purpose is to make me owe you a favor, right?
Let's go, I'm not the person you should see. You just need to remember to escape from the Xiao family as soon as possible. ”
"You reminded me, didn't you also make me owe you a favor." Xiao Nan said with a bit of a dead face, "Then how about letting me use a meal?" ”
"I'm not as good as you Central Plains people would say, oily and smooth." When Miao Feng said this, his belly suddenly made a sound from being too hungry.
This made his originally cold face instantly turn red.
He hurriedly turned his back to Xiao Nan and went to fiddle with his piece of meat that had turned into charcoal.
"It just so happens that I'm too hungry to stand it." Xiao Nan said, "I didn't mean to invite you to dinner." ”
At this moment, Ah Cheng hurriedly ran back with the food box, he was afraid that Miao Feng would be unfavorable to Xiao Nan, so he ran back and forth.
After entering the door, he shouted, "Young Master! Are you okay! ”
"I'm fine. Let's eat here at noon. Xiao Nan said, "Me and Miao ...... Miao Zhuangshi chatted speculatively, and others were very good. ”
Ah Cheng said dumbfounded: "Really? I thought he wasn't a good guy. ”
Miao Feng's stomach kept rumbling at this time, and he went directly into the house, as if he didn't want to let people hear his belly screaming anymore.
Xiao Nan hurriedly gave Ah Cheng a look, and Ah Cheng immediately pushed his wheelchair into the house.
No matter what, it was Xiao Nan who forcibly pulled people to invite them to dinner, to be honest, he really hadn't been so cheeky since he was a child, on the surface, he and Miao Feng were talking and laughing calmly, but in fact, they were already very panicked in their hearts.
Miao Feng put away his quaint bronze knife, he was reluctant to turn his head because he was distressed and didn't know how to stop his bowel sound, after all, he hadn't eaten for several days, and the burnt piece of meat was still the undried bacon he took when he was stealing other people's clothes, but he smoked and messed it up.
At this moment, an alluring aroma came, profoundly stirring his already sensitive sense of taste.
Xiao Nan deliberately said: "Wow, Ah Cheng, you bought a big roast chicken!" ”
"Yes! Master! You see it's still steaming! It's a freshly baked lotus leaf chicken! Our local specialty!! Eat it while it's hot! Na! I also bought a jar of peach blossom stuff! Ah Cheng took a deep breath and said, "It's so fragrant!" ”
"Miao Zhuangshi, come and try it!" Xiao Nan took the opportunity to greet.
Miao Feng sat at the table with a face that was already crimson, only to see him stiffen for a moment, and then reached out to grab the chicken leg of the roast chicken, and he didn't care about being polite and reserved, so he began to gobble it up.
In less than a moment, a roast chicken completely entered his stomach, and even the bones that could be chewed were chewed and eaten by him.
And Xiao Nan and Ah Cheng looked at him blankly, and they didn't have time to eat a bite.
Although the context is not quite right, sure enough, the dinner is a shortcut to the relationship between men - Xiao Nan said in his heart.
