Chapter 1: The Legendary Yellow Scorpion (1)
The people who run boats in the Hankou area have to worship the dragon kings of all sizes when they go out, and they have to worship the yellow scorpion at home.
The yellow scorpion is not a god, but the chief abductor (leading big brother) of Baoqing Pier. He used to be the little male general of the Baoqing Gang, an authentic Baoqing person, who followed his chief abductor and the Hankou Gang to do it. Since the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, the merchants of Baoqing Running Wharf have been doing shipping business from Baoqing to Wuhan, and when the business is booming, they set up camp in Hankou and gradually formed the Baoqing Gang. The Baoqing Gang and the Hankou Gang fought for decades, and they took over a large wharf in Hankou (that is, the three communities of Banchang, Baoqing, and Yongning on Hanzheng Street now), and now the boss of this wharf is Huang Scorpion. The Baoqing Gang is a world with the Hankou Gang in decades of fighting, and it will not be ordinary people who can be the chief crutches, the legend says that the yellow scorpion is two meters tall, with big eyes like cowbells, staring at who is on the ground. There are also people who say that in the past, the Baoqing Gang ran the boat, and the wind and waves came, and the yellow scorpion stood at the bow of the boat, and the bumpy boat turned out to be stable, only to see him standing on the bow of the boat and riding the wind and waves, and other ships saw it from a distance and thought they had seen the river god. Legend has it that the god is like a god, in short, the yellow scorpion is a very good person.
"Looks like our opponent is unusually strong."
After going out to inquire around the teahouse restaurant, Zhao Nan couldn't help but sigh.
He was now dressed in a gown of fragrant cloud yarn, trembling in the river breeze, with a fan pinned to his waist, his hair was oily and slippery, and he couldn't stand up to flies, and he had a smiling face, much like the swaying of the streets of Hankou (people who have nothing to do and wander around).
"No way, the soul of an underworld boss, plus fifty small yellow croakers, such a big capital, how can I be willing to give it up."
Ye Liang pinched the duck's neck in his hand and ate it again, it was so spicy that he reached for the teapot.
Zhao Nan had already snatched the teapot and drank it to his mouth.
Ye Liang shouted: "Disgusting, disgusting, disgusting!" ”
Zhao Nan put down the teapot, wiped a handful of water stains from the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, stepped on the stool and said: "On a hot day, Lao Tzu basked in the sun for a day, blowing the river breeze, my handsome little face was blown black, but you hid in the hotel and gnawed on the duck's neck!" Who the hell is disgusting? ”
"No way, who called you a buddy, I'm the boss!"
"Oh, I'm not going to do it! Why are you the boss and I'm the buddy? It's not me who does the most every time! ”
Zhao Nan thought that he only got two thousand yuan last time, and he was distressed and was dripping blood.
"If you can put a word on that contract, I'll make you the boss." Ye Quan spit out a small bone into the newspaper unhurriedly, covered the corners of his mouth and said, "Oops, it's so spicy, I'm afraid it's going to bubble, Wuhan people have such a stomach, they can eat it so spicy, but it's very appetizing, the spicier it is, the more I want to eat it." ”
Zhao Nan glared at her: "Eat and eat, you know how to eat, why don't you spicy to death." ”
"Spicy to me? I'm going to die, let's break up completely, you can't call the shots about the contract, you can't write, what can you do as a prodigal? Where to find this fun and rich work. You, this is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, and you have met a good boss like me. ”
Zhao Nan was speechless, the contract was indeed only recognized by Ye Quan, no matter how much back and mana he had, he could never write a word on it, it had to be written by Ye Zhi himself, in Ye Quan's words, the two of them were God's chosen partners, and there was no way to break up the gang.
"Okay, I'll share the money this time." Ye Liang stretched out a finger and gestured.
"Ten little yellow croakers?"
"One!"
Zhao Nanqi slapped the table: "His grandmother's, you woman is hopeless, I really hope that you will fold here and make the tenth concubine for that yellow scorpion!" ”
"Huh? Could it be that the yellow scorpion married the ninth room? Haha, this is a capable person, so he should have the spirit of Ryoma to be strong. Ye Liang clapped his hands and laughed.
When Zhao Nan heard this, he couldn't help but look Ye Liang up and down, left and right, Ye Liang was gnawing on the duck's neck, and he was annoyed by his look: "But I have flowers on my face." ”
"I'm just wondering why the girl's family is so cheeky and dares to say anything."
Zhao Nan deliberately shook his head and sighed in order to anger her.
Ye Quan pursed his lips and smiled: "Rare and strange, where I am, what is this." ”
"Where is your home?"
"Forget it, you don't know when it comes to it, let's continue to talk about the target person this time, Huang Scorpio, what kind of person is he, how did he kidnap the eldest girl of our employer's family back then?"
Ye Liang changed the conversation, and it was obvious that she was reluctant to mention the past.
"Ten! I'm going to ask for ten! "Zhao Nan will not give up this time.
"It's really long-winded, it's still a man, okay, ten is ten!"
"Ten little yellow croaker!" Zhao Nan didn't believe her ears a little, when did she become so generous.
"It's ten little yellow croakers, all up to you. Hurry up and talk about the yellow scorpion. You see that he doesn't, whether it's tall or short, round or flat. ”
"The problem is strange here, since the yellow scorpion is the leader of this Baoqing Pier, but the yellow scorpion in all mouths is different."
"Different? How could it be different? This person is not Sun Wukong, and he will not change in seventy-two ways. ”
Ye Liang finished gnawing a duck's neck and wiped his hands slowly with a hand towel.
"I sat in the teahouse near this pier, and listened to many people talk about this man, some people said that he was more than two meters tall, a big man, with a beard, and no one could beat him in a fight: some people said that he was a white-faced scholar, Sven was handsome and a little white-faced, and even more said that Huang Scorpio was a woman, a woman dressed as a man, and was good at flying eaves and walking on walls, isn't this nonsense? Flying eaves and walking on the wall, thinking that the swallow Li San is what? What do the people who run the dock want to fly the eaves and walk on the wall. Water drifting is pretty much the same. Zhao Nan shook his head again and again, "The yellow scorpion that these people say is completely different, it stands to reason that the yellow scorpion is so famous, why has no one seen him?" ”
"It's strange, we don't even know what the target looks like, this case is not easy to accept."
Ye Liang's brows furrowed slightly, and he also felt that this time the matter was a little tricky.
Zhao Nan looked at her with his shoulders in his arms, but saw that Ye Quan's face suddenly turned cloudy, and he looked at Zhao Nan and said, "Ha, I was almost bluffed by you." Let you check the information of the yellow scorpion, you are talking so much, there is nothing useful at all, you just want to bargain with me for more money. ”
Zhao Nan didn't expect that his little abacus would be seen through by Ye Quan at a glance, so he coughed a little embarrassed and said, "This...... That one...... It is rumored that the yellow scorpion is so strange in the market, and everyone says it differently. ”
"Rumors in the market, when will you be gullible in these things, every time you will disguise yourself to observe, why do you tell me what rumors in the market this time."
"Miss, it's not so easy to sneak into the dock, don't say anything else, be friends with those bastards, ask for money! Where's the money? Where is the funding for my event? ”
Ye Quan took out a roll of banknotes and gave it to him, Zhao Nan took it and counted it, and sighed reluctantly: "I'll do my best, this money, I'm afraid that I will have to put money in it in the end." Hehe, in fact, I am more inclined to the rumor that Huang Scorpio is a little white face, if it weren't for Pan An, how could he seduce the eldest lady of the Hankou Gang who fell in love with him at first sight? ”
"Hmph, I hate this kind of man who abandons him the most, if that's the case, I'll abolish his face and make him never want to eat with his face in his life."
