Chapter Twenty-Six: The Law of Survival, Something Else

In Qincheng, everyone has his rules of survival.

Xiao Liu'er walked out of the alley with a piece of jade jue in his hand, a flamboyant smile on his face covered by messy hair, and his steps were much lighter than usual. Thinking of the heavy money promised behind the man, the curvature of the corners of his mouth became more and more unbridled.

The three people in the stall saw Xiao Liu'er walking out with a spring breeze on his face, and naturally knew that he had received another big business this time. One of the bearded men raised his hand and beckoned to Xiao Liu'er, "Xiao Liu'er, come on, how is the business this time?" ”

Xiao Liu'er squinted, and the three people sitting in a circle paused and walked in their direction. However, the jade jue in his hand was quietly hidden by him in the small cloth bag around his waist.

Xiao Liu'er walked to the seats of the three, boldly picked up a bowl on the table, poured himself a glass of wine in a chic manner, and drank it happily before focusing on the three of them.

"With his clothes, how much business do you think he can be?" Xiao Liu'er didn't sit down, her smart eyes swept over the faces of the three of them, and she asked rhetorically.

Another man with thick arms and a burly figure next to him approached and said, "I see that you were quite happy when you came out just now, what about the thing you just tolew?"

The other two also looked at the small cloth bag on Xiao Liu'er's waist like wolves, as if the contents of the bag were already theirs.

Xiao Liu'er raised her lips funny, her smart eyes were bent into a line, and she couldn't see the emotions inside, "So you are waiting for me here?" As he spoke, he reached into his cloth bag and took out a polished piece of turquoise.

"Cut ......" The three of them reacted surprisingly in unison, their tall bodies raised back, and they pouted in disappointment, "He gave you this thing?" How many copper plates is it worth? ”

Seeing the reaction of the three of them, Xiao Liu'er's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, he stuffed the white turquoise into his cloth bag, and said helplessly: "What can I do, just his sour appearance, even I am not as good, if I don't fancy his martial arts, why should I be entangled."

Only then did the three of them recall the crisp sounds that came from all over the place when the man entered the city, and among them was their own. With that person's strength, he is also a master in Qincheng, and it is understandable that Xiao Liu'er wants to convince him.

However, one of them stepped forward and patted Xiao Liu'er's thin shoulder, "If that person leaves tomorrow, all of your thoughts will be delusional." ”

Xiao Liu'er immediately glared at him fiercely, snorted, and said, "Don't say such bad words, I'd better go and get things done early, so as to please people."

Hearing Xiao Liu'er's words, the three of them burst into laughter again, causing the others in the stall to look at them strangely and shake their heads in disgust.

Xiao Liu'er poured a bowl of wine again, drank it in one gulp, and ran out quickly, "Thank you for the good wine of the three brothers, Xiao Liu'er left first, and he will meet again in the future." ”

One of the three of them took the jar and was about to pour himself a glass, but he found that the jar in his hand was as light as nothing. He turned the jar over for a week, and poured it vigorously for a long time, but only a little wine passed the bottom of the bowl. He raised his head, looked at the man in the middle in surprise, and said, "Big brother......"

The bearded man looked at the direction where Xiao Liu'er left, and said helplessly: "This Xiao Liu'er, just to find out a little bit of information about him, he drank all my wine, and he really didn't suffer at all."

As he spoke, he beckoned again and said to the busy boss: "Okay, it's time to leave after drinking, and the boss has come to settle the bill!"

Here, as soon as Xiao Liu'er left the three brothers, he ran towards West Street. Xiaoliuer grew up in West Street since she was born, and she is also a child of West Street. In this place where the people of Qincheng trembled when they mentioned it, he lived as freely as a fish in water.

Greeting everyone on West Street all the way, Xiao Liu'er finally came to her house, a slightly dilapidated log cabin, with old and decaying wood stacked in the corner. There is furniture in the house, and there is nothing missing.

He took out the jade he had just obtained and hid it in a dusty iron box at the bottom of the bed, the iron lock on it had a thick layer of reddish-brown rust, and it was a little difficult to open.

When the tin box was opened, a colorful light flashed in the dim room, illuminating the whole room in a dazzling light. Only a moment later, the light dimmed again, and only flowed on the surface.

He had all sold them in exchange, and he stared at the contents of the box, and it was a long time before he had locked them all in detail.

After admiring his collection, Xiao Liu'er began to think about the news that Mo Li had told him to inquire, about the one in Mo Li's mouth, he already had clues in his mind, after all, he had only seen that woman in the dust so far.

Half a month ago, almost everyone in Qin Cheng was looking for such a woman, but in the end, it was silent, just because no one in Qin Cheng claimed to have seen such a person. They also entered West Street, but West Street was extremely consistent to the outside world, and they didn't say a word.

Xiao Liu'er looked to the northwest, and through the layers of stone walls, he seemed to see a towering Lingyun high-rise building, which was the place that the people of West Street longed for and feared.

Xiao Liu'er held the tin box in his arms, his black and white eyes were full of struggle, the wind blew through the wooden window, and the sound of the worn window paper made his hands tighten continuously, and his fingertips were already a miserable white, and he didn't care.

After a long time, he exhaled a heavy breath, as if he had exhaled all the previous suppression, "I just sold a plausible news......" he muttered to himself, comforting himself.

On the other side of Qin City, Mo Li was standing in front of a courtyard, his sturdy figure stretched by the shadow, imprinted on the white stone ground, still a heroic appearance.

This courtyard has obviously not been inhabited for a long time, the dust in front of the door has accumulated a thick layer of fallen leaves, and the iron bolt on the pear blossom wooden door has also grown a thick rust, and it looks cold and desolate.

Why didn't the young lady come here?

This courtyard belongs to the Qin family, but the Qin family has been in Licheng in Lianguo, and there is very little time to come to Qincheng, so this place is vacant, and no one has taken care of it for many years.

When Mrs. Qin's wife Yueran Liu handed Qin Shu into Mo Li's hands, she instructed him to bring Qin Shu to Qincheng safely, and at the same time put a letter in his hand, with a pair of gentle eyes like water with a pleading look, so that he must see the letter as soon as Qin Shu woke up.

Mo Li used internal force to open the lock on the door, accompanied by a soft sound, bringing up a cloud of dust, Mo Li stepped into the mansion that had been sealed in dust for many years with a pair of muddy cloth shoes. The quiet yard was overgrown with weeds, and the yellow branches and leaves fell all over the ground.

The sound of cicadas has not disappeared before autumn, and the eyes are barren and do not know spring. Standing in such a desolate place, Mo Li could already conclude that there had been no one here for at least ten years.

Where will Miss go?

Mo Li walked among the weeds, his eyes looking at the sky in the distance, the sunset on the horizon had gradually receded from the stage, and the brilliant crimson was replaced by a dull yellow. The clean clouds were also dyed a little colored, and they floated in the vast air.

Now, all he can do is wait. Before, at the entrance of the alley, when he said the person he was looking for, he obviously felt Xiao Liu'er's aura fluctuate, and until he finished speaking, he could still feel Xiao Liu'er's hesitation.

The beggar must have known the location of the young lady, or rather, he had seen the young lady.

Although there is already news of Qin Shu now, the worries in Mo Shu can't be put down, and he still plans to investigate by himself.

Leaving the mountain, in the Hanlian Courtyard, Yun Shu's injuries have been much better. Qin Shu's medicine was specially taken by Yin Yueren from Mo Lao, and the healing effect was excellent. She stood in the yard, holding a fan in her hand, gently fanning the wind, and looked at the little thing in Qin Shu's hand, which was the Luban lock left by Yin Yueren last night.

Qin Shu looked at the things in her hand, and suddenly became interested, wanting to make a Rubik's Cube, in this strange world, there is always a sense of intimacy when you see familiar things.

The afterglow of the remnant sun sets off the beauty, and Qin Shu's delicate eyebrows and eyes add a bit of style under the sunset, compared with the dusty appearance of the fireworks in the world on weekdays, there are more rare and beautiful colors.

Putting the Luban lock in her hand on the table on the side, Qin Shu looked back at Yun Shu, she should also remember the punishment of that afternoon.

I saw Qin Shu get up slowly, and her graceful and straight figure printed a beautiful shadow in the sunset. She walked to the small study, took the pen handed by Jian Yue, dipped it in the ink that Jian Yue had polished, and drew a manuscript on the white paper.

Jian Yue stood closer, looking at the square box on the paper, and felt very familiar in her heart. She turned her eyes to look at Yun Shu on the side, Yun Shu was looking at the sketch in Qin Shu's hand, looking at the things on the paper, and immediately recognized it. Just as he was about to speak, he closed his lips that were about to open again.

Qin Shu felt the wind on her right hand and knew that something was wrong with Yun Shuding, and when she turned her eyes, she saw Yun Shu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping. She couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, and a touch of beautiful color rose on her elegant face. It seems that a layer of ripples ripples on the surface of the calm lake, and the circles and dots also tug at the heartstrings of the people around them.

"Yun Shu, do you have something to say?" Qin Shu asked softly.

Yun Shu's dark eyes stared at Qin Shu carefully, as if to confirm whether she could speak, and when she saw Qin Shu's head, she immediately raised her lips and smiled, and said, "Miss, this thing you painted is the Rubik's Cube of the Dust Building?"

"The Rubik's Cube of the Dust Building?" Qin Shu frowned lightly, this thing is a product of modernity, could it be that there are other people in this era besides her?

Yun Shu nodded excitedly, she liked this thing very much at the beginning, the gorgeous and colorful appearance, coupled with the conditions promised by the dust building, instantly attracted countless people to come forward to try, but in the end, they all came with great interest, but they returned disappointed.

In the end, there were very few people who solved it, and all she knew was those well-known arithmetic geniuses. As for the other private successes, there is no way to know who she is.

"Three years ago, the Dust Building made a rule that if someone can solve this messy thing and restore it to its original appearance, they can eat and drink freely in the Dust Building for a year." Yun Shu said excitedly, she still remembered the prosperity of the year, the dust building was full of people every day, just to solve the so-called Rubik's Cube.

"This dust building is really not simple." Qin Shu buried her head and whispered, what secrets does this Southern Dynasty have?
