【Volume 1】Lanwan 6: Sleepless
The silver body of the gun was cold and piercing, and the light feather at the moment was extremely unhappy, and the muzzle of the gun was rudely aimed at He Fu's head, and the safety had been opened, not like a joke at all.
He Fu was stunned for a moment, and the fear of being killed flashed through his eyes, but he suddenly opened his mouth and hurriedly threw away the cigarette in his hand:
"No, there is no such thing! Light feather, this is definitely a misunderstanding! You're really thinking too much! I'm just trying to smoke, not to show off my wealth in front of you! I promise, I swear! ”
He Fu's face turned blue, but the muzzle of Qing Yu's gun was still pointed at her: "It hurt my fragile heart, how are you going to compensate?" Speaking of which, the price of bullets has risen a lot recently. ”
"Hehehe." He Fu pretended to be stupid and laughed, what happened to this little girl today, no matter how bad her mood is, she can't be angry with herself. But anyway, this ticket is so important, let's coax her first, right?
"Then, as an old friend, friendly assistance, send you...... One hundred bullets! Money is guaranteed not to be deducted from the mission gratuity. ”
"Two hundred." Light Feather was categorical, and she was falsely accused. But 200 rounds is really too much, you must know that in this era, bullets are much more expensive than cigarettes!
"One hundred and fifteen ......?" He Fu was about to cry, but who knew that Qingyu actually moved his fingers and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Quack!
Time stood still, and the sound of an empty bullet shook off a handful of dust in the grocery store...... The atmosphere was stiff and stunned for a few seconds, and it didn't return to normal until He Fu softened on the ground. She clutched her chest, her heart was beating out of her throat, and there were tears in her eyes.
He Fu was really scared. This guy is a demon! A bastard with a femme fatale face, hard to distinguish between good and bad in his bones, and doesn't know the severity of jokes!
"That's how I shot you." Qing Yu said inhumanely, He Fu was already angry.
"Stinky girl, my mother wants to break off my friendship with you!"
"Are you willing?" Light Feather was confident and proud, like a spoiled child, and turned to leave, leaving only what he thought was the most sincere apology:
"Then fifty rounds, you didn't take this shot in vain."
"You! Don't think that the old lady will be grateful to you! He Fu's scolding came from behind the door, and Qing Yu hooked the corners of his mouth shallowly, and his mood was much better. Then she went back to the inn where she was now staying, which was a very inconspicuous little shop on the corner, and the room was not large, but it was enough to take a shower and rest.
It's just that she can't sleep.
Because of Lan Yang's words, the innocent souls of Lao Tie's family don't know how much they have added. Maybe He Fu is right, this is an opportunity given by God, and it is the retribution of the city lord of Lanyang. Even if there is no government behind this matter, she is willing to take over the business, even if it is not a penny.
The sky and the moon will be white, and Qing Yu quietly looks at the horizon in the distance in front of the window, subconsciously playing with the nameplate needed for the task in his hand, and the back of the red-haired man is still in his mind.
The wind of Lanyang Castle always carries the salty dampness of the sea, and it feels like being locked up in a moldy cellar for a long, long time, which is uncomfortable. Especially in the harbor, there was a cry almost day and night—
"Let my baby go! Please let him go! He's only four years old! A woman dressed as a fisherman hugged a soldier's leg, and her husband and family knelt on the ground.
The child in the soldier's arms was also crying, and only when he cried did he realize that there was a mouth on the child's tongue!
"How many years has the merit-based plan been in power, and you still dare to know about it and secretly raise your children to such a big age. It's already thankful that you don't take your whole family to a concentration camp now, be content! ”
The soldier was not at all affectionate, and had long been accustomed to such things, and resolutely put the child in a cage.
"I hid for four years, and finally was reported by a neighbor for a bounty. In this world, the 'disease' is not light. ”
Not far from the port, the man sighed to himself, even with his hood pulled, the few strands of red hair that leaked out were still eye-catching—no one would waste scarce resources for fashion without hair dyeing in this era. People who are born red-haired are quite rare these days, let alone his personality hairstyle with pigtails.
The sea breeze blew off the man's hood, and before more people could see him, he pulled on his hat and left, going to Tieyang Harbor on the other side.
Today's Tieyang Port has been busy since before dawn, and the coolies need to load all the iron ore on ships before they set sail tomorrow evening and transport them to the Yaojin district, which is in charge of industry. Of course, there must be a dark curtain on this journey.
"Boss."
A young man of fifteen or sixteen naturally stood next to the man, as if he was just a tourist who happened to pass by and stopped to watch the majesty of the official ship. The two didn't seem to have anything to do with each other, but they kept whispering.
"How?"
"It's all clear. The lord of Lanwan did secretly hire someone to investigate the evidence of the smuggling of the city lord of Lanyang, but they were afraid of startling the snake, so they only found one, but I heard that it was a good hand on the road, and they would be mixed with the bodyguards and board the boat together tomorrow. The details of the mercenary are not yet known, only that they will be with the Hoth brothers. ”
"Brother Hoth is currently living in Master Yang's house in Haizhuang, why don't I go over and keep an eye on it and find out what the mercenary is?" The young man asked, and the man vetoed it simply.
"There's enough intelligence, there's no need to take risks. And someone was following me last night, so it's better to be cautious for now. ”
"So, boss, do you really want to get on the boat alone tomorrow?" The young man was a little worried, and secretly glanced at the corner of the man's shallow mouth.
saw him pull his hood and leave: "I'm the target of everyone now, let's keep a little distance." ”
The sky is getting brighter, and Lan Yangcheng has started a new day of hustle and bustle, the man pulls his hood, and is very inconspicuous on the crowded street, but the temperament of walking with the wind is really swaggering, and people who pass by can't help but look at it twice. He soon turned into a small shop, pulled down his hat and was immediately recognized:
"Yo, this is really a rare guest, how can you have time to come here?"
The woman greeted her, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and she was a well-rounded person in terms of clothing, and her temperament was outstanding. Of course, it can also be seen from the shop she runs that this is an independent and capable woman.
She is a painter and also sells painting tools and paints, and the reason why she opened a shop in Lanyang City is only because it is easier to get the paints she needs for painting, and the price is cheaper. The paints she paints are all homemade, made from colourful coral, which, in her words, has a more textured texture. Of course, I heard that before the end of the world, colored corals were not so easy to find, and these are also the "credit" of unknown radiation. Therefore, in her eyes, this bad time is a complete one.
It's just that in such an era, art is not a popular business.
"I haven't opened for three months, and you said that if I hand you over, will I get a good pay?" The woman playfully said, took a piece of brown paper and rolled it over, and when she spread it out, she saw that the portrait of the man was vividly printed on it—red hair, light dark eyes, and an angular face, with a bright and hard back, and a small braid at the end.
It has to be said that this portrait is indeed perfect.
The man couldn't help but smile and closed the scroll of paper. He'd seen it too much, and it wasn't surprising that he was here. Seeing him like this, the woman asked again: "What good things have you done, they actually issued an internal arrest warrant." ”
"It's not good for you to ask so much." The man smiled, but he still couldn't fade the sharpness and coldness in his eyes, and the woman immediately looked away.
This man, there are few people in the world who dare to look at him, those sharp eyes seem to be able to see through everything about the other party in an instant, even if he doesn't have this intention, these innate eyes are always terrifying. If it weren't for these intimidating eyes, the woman would really confess to him, even if he was a man as cunning as a fox, even if he was a man who couldn't give a woman stability.
"It's okay if you don't betray you, but now that you've become a street rat, what's the benefit of helping you?" In business, the woman still thinks that it will be easier to get along with him in this way, after all, it is difficult for a man like him to imagine what it will be like to be emotional.
I saw that the man took out an envelope, and the coat of arms on the wax made the woman stunned, and then she couldn't wait to open it and take out the documents inside:
"Oh my God, it's really the government's consent, it's really their seal! I'm really, really going to be able to hold an exhibition in that aristocratic district? She couldn't believe it, and she couldn't wait to kiss it on the paperwork, "Gu Nanyi, how did you get it?" You're amazing! ”
The woman was as happy as a child, and Gu Nanyi just had a piece of cake expression: "There are enough chips in your hand, there is nothing you can't get." So you're willing to help me now? ”
"Help! Definitely help! In the future, you will be my boss, a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and you will not give up! The woman smiled and tore the wanted notice to shreds in front of her.
"What do you want me to do for you?"
"It's not difficult. Those paints of yours are colorless and odorless, right? Just dye my hair, and it's best to keep it from fading for a while. ”
In the quiet shop, the woman was concentrating on color mixing in front of the workbench, and Gu Nanyi made herself black tea and sat leisurely by the window. The warmth of the morning sun sprinkled on his cold and handsome face, and the fragrance of tea overflowed, which really looked like a quiet scene. Especially, a beautiful girl had just passed by in front of the window—
The long skirt is elegant, the waist is delicate, and the soft black hair is slightly naturally curled like silk satin, and it hangs softly on one shoulder; The tall figure with handsome and handsome eyebrows and eyes, and the light makeup is the icing on the cake;
Light Feather quickened her pace, although she didn't reject such a woman's dress in her heart, this kind of long skirt was really in the way. For a mercenary, a long skirt is definitely the most terrible torture. Of course, this dress was deliberately prepared by He Fu, which is the main reason why she wants to fry her hair the most!
Fortunately, the carriage stopped not far away, otherwise Qing Yu would really be unable to help tearing off her skirt.
