Text Chapter 16: Helpless Trading
The tiger's mouth is out of danger and strange
Reluctantly traded Huang and Lee
Night, late at night, it's getting colder!
Silence, in this moment, replaces prosperity.
At 2 o'clock in the morning, the whole city seemed to fall into a deep sleep at this moment.
In addition to the hangover people on the street, there are homeless people.
Homeless people are mostly shy in their pockets, while hangovers are unable to find a place to live. If the homeless are pitiful, aren't they even more pathetic to those who are empty in heart?
And among the original lonely souls, at this time there are three more people, three anxiously waiting people, two men and one woman, one old and two young, they are naturally Zhang Chengyong, Lao Zhou, and Xiaomei.
"It's been almost three hours! Why hasn't Liu Tianyi come back yet? Is something wrong? Zhang Chengyong stood at the door of the boiler room and smoked a cigarette and said.
"Don't worry, Tianyi is very smart, it shouldn't be a big deal!" Lao Zhou on the side took two puffs of cigarette and said slowly.
"He's smart, I know! However, Zhao Cheng's old fox is too cunning! I'm afraid Tianyi can't be more than him! Zhang Chengyong said and took a deep puff of cigarette, then sighed.
"Instead of worrying about Tianyi now, it's better to worry about ourselves!" Lao Zhou said and snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and then stood up.
"Worried about ourselves? What's wrong with us? Zhang Chengyong looked at Lao Zhou and asked inexplicably.
"Friend, after listening to it for so long, isn't it time to show up? Why are you freezing outside on such a cold day? It's better to have something to say in the house. Lao Zhou ignored Zhang Chengyong's question, but looked at the darkness not far away and said. Lao Zhou's words are neither humble nor arrogant, they are very powerful, and they are old-fashioned.
"Hahaha! is worthy of being the speaker of the Honeycomb Mountain Inner Sect, what a good ear! Just when Lao Zhou's words fell, a person suddenly laughed and walked out of the darkness, and it was actually a very beautiful woman. This woman is not young, she looks like she is in her forties, but she is well maintained, wearing a black professional outfit, and her plump figure makes her look like she has a special charm.
"Who are you?" Zhang Chengyong asked vigilantly.
"That's how you're hospitality?" The woman said with a smile. "Just now you said that I was going to go into the house to talk, why did it change after a while?"
"Hospitality, treat people, not treat bitches like you!" Before Zhang Chengyong and Lao Zhou could speak, an extremely hoarse voice suddenly came from the darkness on the other side. The sound was extremely uncomfortable, like the sound of sandpaper grinding a steel pipe, thick and astringent, as if the speaker had used a lot of force to make the sound. And when this person came out of the darkness, Zhang Chengyong and the others found that compared to this person, his voice was simply a heavenly sound. Because the person who came out couldn't be called a human being. The man was very old, with a head of white hair, scattered on his forehead without any combing, and a long scar on his face, which ran almost all over his face, leaving his nose, eyes, and mouth in an extremely unnatural distorted state. And not only did he have a scar on his face, but he also had a scar on his throat and ears, and it seemed that the reason why he spoke like this was because of the scar on his throat.
"Hahahaha! Oh, I didn't expect you to find this place so soon. I thought I was the only one who was well-informed! Far from being angry, the woman laughed sweeter when she heard the old man say this.
"Humph! You think it's just you? I'm not a fool for all these years! "The old man didn't even look at the woman." Is it coming? ”
This is inexplicable, but obviously it is not to ask Zhang Chengyong them, since they are not asking Zhang Chengyong and them, of course they are asking this woman.
And the woman obviously knew that the old man was asking her, and said with a smile: "Look at the time should be fast." ”
"Who's coming? Who are you talking about? Who are you? Zhang Chengyong asked.
"You'd better not know!" The old man said.
"Why?" Zhang Chengyong asked with a glare.
"Because everyone who knows who I am is dead." The old man said lightly.
"But I'm alive!" At this time, suddenly a voice came from not far away, a man's voice, a voice that made Zhang Chengyong and Lao Zhou sound very cordial.
Because the one who speaks is me!
"Do you know who I am?" The old man didn't look back, but asked lightly.
"Of course! Not only do I know who you are, but I also know who she is? I said as I walked in from outside the courtyard.
"Oh? Do you know who I am? "The woman always keeps smiling when she speaks, she likes to laugh, she knows that laughter is the most effective weapon, laughter can not only make people relax their vigilance, but also unconsciously take anyone's life, so she laughs no matter what she says, and she laughs sweetly.
"Xi Li, the name of Bei Huang, I just heard about it not long ago, how could I not know such a big person?" I walked up to Zhang Chengyong and Lao Zhou and said.
"Are you alright? How did you get out? Zhao Cheng, did that old boy embarrass you? Zhang Chengyong hurriedly asked.
"I'm fine! Where can I get out of Zhao Cheng, I have to thank them! As I spoke, I looked at the man and woman in front of me, one old and one young.
"Oh? Thanks to them? Could these two be Li Dong and Li Erye of the Xicheng Axe Gang, and Miss Huang Ying and Huang Si of the Beicheng Flower Club? Zhang Chengyong asked.
"Who but them will find us in such a short time? Apart from them, who will plant an inner ghost next to Zhao Cheng? I said lightly.
"Inner ghost? When will the inner ghost come out? The more Zhang Chengyong listened, the more confused he became.
"Remember the last hand?" I looked at him and said.
"Of course I do! Didn't you win that Liu Ming with the ace of spades? Zhang Chengyong asked. What's wrong? What does it have to do with them? ”
"Of course it is! The last hand I got was actually a diamond three, and that Wang Liu was Miss Huang Si's person, and it was he who helped me to get the ace of spades. Therefore, we can come out smoothly, and we really want to thank Miss Huang Si. And I was able to get out smoothly after you left, and I also got the three books in Zhao Cheng's hand, so I have to thank Second Master Li. I looked at Miss Huang Si and Second Master Li and said.
"Hahaha! Don't be so polite, I've always liked to help people, especially a handsome guy like you! Miss Huang Si said with a smile.
"But I guess you two didn't just come here late at night to thank you in person, right?" I asked.
"This is nature!" Li Dong said lightly.
"Do you also want the secret scroll in my hand?" I looked at them and said.
"Haha! What's the use of that broken book? We don't understand it either! But ......"
"However, we want you to find the place in this secret scroll for us!" Before Miss Huang Si finished speaking, Second Master Li suddenly spoke.
"Oh? You want me to find this place for you? I asked.
"That's right! We know that your ancestors were Tufuzi and have this craft, although we are people who are mixed up in the Tao, but we are a layman in this regard after all. This woman and I have two things to look for, so I won't help you in vain if I get you out this time. We want to have financial resources, we want to have power, as long as you want to come up with something, we can get it, and we can fund and sponsor all your actions. Of course......" Second Master Li said and paused, "Of course, you can also not agree." But don't forget, we have the ability to get you out, and we have the ability to send you back. Now that you have taken Zhao Cheng's three secret scrolls, think about what will happen if you go back! ”
Second Master Li's words are not long, but every word is a real advice and a real warning.
"Looks like I'm just going to say yes." I said with a smile. However, I know in my heart that they are telling the truth, if I am caught by Zhao Cheng's people at this time, it is estimated that even if I don't die, I will have to be skinned by this old boy.
"You only have to say yes!" Li Erye said leisurely, he has always been very confident, especially when he speaks, he seems to feel that what he said is always right, and no one can refute him.
"Alright! In that case, then I promise you! I have one condition, though. I looked at them and said.
"Hahaha! What conditions? Miss Huang Si said.
"You are responsible for sponsoring my operation, responsible for protecting the safety of the four of us, however, you can't intervene in our operation, as for how to find the place in this book, it's my business, you can't ask about it, once you find it, I will give you what you want, deal?" I said.
"Deal!"
"Haha! Of course there is no problem! Miss Huang Si smiled even sweeter, and she was obviously satisfied with my answer.
"That's good! I need a place to live now, in very good condition! Can you arrange this for me? Also, I need something and I'll give it to you later, and I'll give it to you as well. Finally, I need three tickets to Jingyu County, Jilin Province, and I'm leaving tomorrow, that's all for now, can you do it? I asked, looking at them.
"It's simple." Second Master Li turned around as he spoke, and slowly walked towards the darkness.
"Hahaha! Someone will pick you up later! As for the stuff, you can just write it and put it outside the door of your residence! Miss Huang Si turned around as she spoke, and when she left, she threw a wink at me, which caused me goosebumps for a while.
They came quickly, and they didn't go slowly. By the time the last word of their words was finished, the man had disappeared as if he had never been, without a sound.
