Chapter 619: Canvas Wallet
I didn't expect to walk for nearly half a minute from the position where we were standing just now to the door of the store.
There are more and more people, Sun Luyuan is very timely, if he slows down, the road will become impassable, and it will be a little difficult to step forward.
Finally entering the store, Huang Yuzhong and I both breathed a sigh of relief.
I asked Huang Yuzhong: "Are there a lot of people participating in the spring review this year?" ”
Huang Yuzhong pursed his lips: "It's also the first time I've been here, so I don't know what the scene was in the mountains in the past years." But listening to my second uncle, the spring review is about to become a trend in the industry this year, except for the kind of person like Zuo Youdao, which junior doesn't want to get a good ranking in the spring review? It is estimated that when the older generation has retired, the spring review will become a weather vane. ”
"Weather vane? How do you say that? ”
"You think, if all the colleagues in the industry in the future will judge the level based on the results of the spring evaluation, at that time, the ranking of a spring evaluation can show the strength of a sect. The high ranking of the disciples in the spring evaluation naturally shows that the inheritance of the sect is exquisite, but if they can't get a good ranking, it doesn't mean that it will ...... Isn't it okay to pass it on? At least that's how it seems to most people. ”
I have to say that his words still make sense.
But thinking of the relationship between the family and the Three Youth Association, I could only shake my head helplessly.
I don't know who the second master offended in the Sanqing Association.
The people outside the store were busy greeting each other, and the salesperson in the store was also the messenger of the Three Youth Society, and no one could hear this conversation between me and Huang Yuzhong.
Just as I was shaking my head and walking towards the shelves, there was a sudden roar outside the store.
The sound was far from the path, but it still drowned out the noisy footsteps and reached the store.
Huang Yuzhong and I glanced at each other, and both tilted our heads to the door, looking in the direction where the voice came from.
At this time, the people walking on the road also stopped, and everyone's eyes fell almost in the same direction.
Huang Yuzhong whispered to me, "It should be an avalanche." ”
I said, "There was an avalanche in the inner mountain?" ”
Huang Yuzhong shook his head: "The sound came from outside, but the location of the avalanche should not be far from the inner mountain, and it must have been a large amount of falling snow that smashed through the barrier at the boundary of the inner mountain, and the sound came in." ”
There is indeed an enchantment in the inner mountain, which can completely isolate the sound from the outside, when I first entered the inner mountain, as soon as I walked past the stone stele, I couldn't hear Huang Yuzhong's voice, and I can roughly guess that the stone stele is the outer edge of the enchantment.
After a short while, a shout came from the west side of the path: "Emergency mountain closure, emergency mountain closure!" There was a big avalanche outside, and the inner mountain was blocked, so don't go out recently! ”
I craned my neck to look west, and there were too many people to see who was shouting.
As soon as the man finished speaking, several of the attendees gathered in front of the store began to talk about it.
I heard one of them say that it had been fifty years since the Sanqinghui had established a dojo here, and this was the first time that there had been an avalanche.
Then some people said that this avalanche seemed to be a bad omen.
There are also people in such a place, it is normal for avalanches to occur, and the snow mountains have been unharmed for fifty years, which can only be said to be the luck of the Three Youth Society.
There were a lot of people talking at that time, but most of the remarks were in these two tones.
Huang Yuzhong and I shrunk our heads into the shop, and Huang Yuzhong said to me with some concern: "There hasn't been an avalanche in 50 years, why did it collapse when you came?" ”
I couldn't help laughing: "Why don't you say it, why did you Huang Yuzhong come and it collapsed?" It's probably a coincidence, there's nothing to worry about. ”
Huang Yuzhong nodded: "Yes." ”
In fact, I just pretended to be calm on the surface, and I was also thinking in my heart, this avalanche would not be the handiwork of Buzhou Mountain, and now that the inner mountain is banned, it is impossible for me to go out, could it be that they want to come to this urn to catch turtles?
But there are so many people in the inner mountain, does Zhou Shan really dare to do it?
Huang Yuzhong seemed to be really appeased by me, and then he didn't say anything else, and ran to the shelves to concentrate on provoking business.
I glanced over the counter, and the messenger of the Three Youth Society was taking the money, bowing his head and writing and drawing, as if he was making an account, he was deaf in both ears, and naturally he couldn't hear the sound outside.
Huang Yuzhong walked along the shelves, on the way here, his backpack was damaged, and it happened that there was a row of brand-new backpacks on the shelves, he seemed to be interested in a black bag at the top of the shelf, but because he was not tall enough, he could only stand on tiptoe and struggle to reach out to grab it, and his movements looked very clumsy.
I can't help at this time, after all, I'm not much taller than Huang Yuzhong.
I don't know what the store thinks, I have to make the shelves so high, it is estimated that only a big man of more than 1.9 meters can touch the top of the top.
It took Huang Yuzhong a lot of effort to finally grab the shoulder bag of the backpack, and the moment he was about to pull the backpack down, I felt as if something was flying down the roof, either the speed of the thing was too fast, or I was too dazzled to see what it looked like.
There was a loud noise, and the black backpack, along with several nearby merchant goods, all fell from the shelves.
The messenger standing behind the counter may have noticed the anomaly in the afterglow, and immediately ran over and bent down to pick up the things on the ground.
After grabbing the things on the ground, they don't have to deliberately tiptoe, as long as they throw them casually, they see those things being thrown high, and then slowly falling, and falling steadily on the upper shelf.
I watched his smooth movements, and I couldn't help but be a little staggered, this kind of kung fu, without three or five years, I'm afraid I can't practice it.
At this time, the shopkeeper was picking up a white wallet from the ground, but instead of throwing it directly on the shelf, he was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and handed it to me.
I immediately reached out and tried to push my wallet back, casually saying, "Not mine." But as soon as my palm touched the purse, I immediately felt a familiar chill.
It was an abnormal cold, just like the karmic wind on the Yin and Yang Dao.
Without any hesitation, I flipped my wrist and took my wallet.
The shopkeeper smiled politely at me, then bent down and continued to pick up the scattered goods, taking a few breaths of hot air into the palm of his hand, apparently chilled by the chill in his wallet.
Huang Yuzhong leaned over and asked me, "This wallet doesn't seem to be your ......"
Before he could finish, I took his hand and placed the wallet in the palm of his hand.
Huang Yuzhong was also in a state of mind, and his eyes suddenly widened.
I stuffed my wallet into my pocket, and through a few layers of clothing, the chill could penetrate my skin and go straight to my bone marrow, and I could only endure it, pretending to pick and choose in the store.
When the shopkeeper was back behind the counter, I opened my wallet with my back to him, and I saw a thin piece of ice in it, along with a folded white paper.
Huang Yuzhong also quickly came over and used his back to completely block the store's view.
I carefully unfolded the blank paper, and saw that it read: "Someone, someone is going to kill you, go away!" ”
This note is for me! But I don't think I've ever seen the handwriting on it.
Huang Yuzhong pointed to the words on the note, his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to speak.
I quickly put away the note, made a silent gesture to him, and then took a closer look at my wallet.
This thing is woven from fine canvas, the color is white with a little gray, and when you look up at the surrounding walls, the paint on the walls is also the same color.
That's when I realized that the thing that flew in front of my eyes just now was this wallet, but it was almost integrated with the environment, and it was difficult to spot.
Thinking of this, I immediately rushed to the front of the store and quickly looked at the road on both sides, there were so many people that I could not see anything at a glance except for the heads and shaking arms.
Huang Yuzhong quickly leaned over and asked me with a worried face, "What now?" ”
What else can I do, the inner mountain has been sealed, even if I want to go, I can't go, and now I can only wait and see what happens.
I patted Huang Yuzhong on the shoulder: "Go and buy the backpack." ”
Huang Yuzhong didn't talk nonsense, and hurriedly ran to the counter to settle the bill.
I waited for him to come back, found a gap in the crowd, and quickly carried him out of the store.
First the avalanche closed the mountain, and then I received such a note, the timing was too coincidental, I suspect that Zhou Shan knew that someone was going to report to me, so he temporarily decided to create that avalanche.
Who is the one who can tell me? I don't remember any acquaintances in Buzhoushan......
No, I do have an acquaintance, who is the dwarf I met in the deserted village of the Three Gorges-Hudebals.
Nine times out of ten, he is the one who tells me the news.
The crowd was so dense that it was annoyingly dense, and it took Huang Yuzhong and I a long time to get back to where we lived.
When I entered the door, Li Huaishan was squatting next to the fire pit to eat, and when he saw me coming in, he said happily: "Thank you for leaving me food!" ”
I wasn't happy at all now, so I ignored him, just walked quickly to the bed, took out the note, and looked at it carefully.
I really never saw those notes.
Huang Yuzhong stood beside me, his face nervous.
Li Huaishan also walked over with the pot, he glanced at the note in my hand, and he was also surprised: "No, Zhou Shan wants to kill you?" Why now. ”
I frowned and said, "Of course now, when I stayed in Bohai Bay, they were afraid that the second master would not dare to do it. When I left home, they couldn't figure out where I was going. But this time, they had plenty of time to lay out. I can't be wrong, the last time I took Zhang Dayou into the inner mountain, it must be someone who is not in the mountain. ”
Huang Yuzhong opened his mouth and said: "I think, you should communicate with the Three Youth Society, this place is the territory of the Three Youth Society after all, if they are willing to provide protection......
I raised my head and interrupted Huang Yuzhong: "How can you be sure that there is no connection between the Sanqing Society and Buzhou Mountain?" ”
Huang Yuzhong looked at me, his eyes widening wider and wider, and his eyeballs were about to fall out.
