Chapter 57: Steamed Buns
"What? No way? How could these two be wanted? He Wei was completely stunned and took a deep breath of cold air. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I'm a verdict, will I deceive you as a mere grass? Both of them are wanted criminals, and whoever catches them both will be rewarded handsomely. Zhang Qi took out a piece of parchment from his pocket, on which were clearly portraits of two heads, one looking Svenven and the other full of beard.
He Wei took the parchment, took a closer look, and found that the portrait on the paper was indeed very similar to Xiao Zhu and others, but because it was just a portrait and the painting was very blurry, it was extremely difficult to tell whether it was the two of them.
"How? You only have two choices now, either help the official to arrest these two together, if you refuse, you will be an accomplice and an accomplice, and there is nothing I can do to help you. ”
"But I don't know where they are, how can I help you catch them?"
"It seems that you are still obsessed, then I really can't help you."
"I really don't know, and even if I did, I wouldn't tell you, I can't do anything about betraying my friends."
Raised his hands and clenched his fists, and his eyebrows were raised in anger: "You're not afraid that I will change my mind?" ”
"Don't be afraid, let's die, I've already died once, I'm not afraid to die a second time, my fate is already very tragic." He Wei crossed his hands on his waist and put on an attitude of indifference.
When he heard this, he glared at him, and immediately glanced at the female guards standing on both sides again.
The female guards quickly understood what Zhang Qi meant, and stepped forward one after another, and one of them handed him the dagger in his hand.
Holding the dagger in his hand, he quickly approached He Wei head-on. When he put the dagger on He Wei's shoulder, he warned again: "You're not afraid that I will cut off your head?" ”
He Wei replied calmly: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up." ”
Zhang Qileng paused, suddenly laughed, put the dagger back into his sleeve, and said happily: "Haha, this official likes you as a righteous young man, I believe you are not in the same league as those fugitives." ”
"Ouch, ouch, oh, in the blink of an eyelid, the old hen turned into a duck, and suddenly changed her name to Shaoxia." After He Wei sneered, he turned his gaze to the two female guards and said, "Why do you say you brought two female bodyguards, why don't you bring two old women?" It doesn't look more imposing. ”
This sentence alarmed the female guards on the platform, glared at him, and said in unison: "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
"Hahaha!" Zhang Qi smiled: "I don't think you are a bad person, let alone an ordinary person, if you don't dislike it, it is better to be an errand under me." ”
"Errand? You're going to make me just like them? Then I'm afraid I won't be able to obey my fate, I really have urgent matters and can't stay here. He Weidao.
Zhang Qi said: "I know what you're thinking, a resentful ghost like you who just died must want to go back to the yang world to see his family, right?" ”
He Weidao: "Can I go to this yang world?" I've never found my way to the sun. ”
Zhang Qi said: "Of course you can go, but ordinary people can't go, only the ghosts who ask for their lives can go to the yang world, and there are restrictions on where to go, and the people and ghosts of yin and yang can't communicate with each other." ”
He Wei nodded, sighed, and said, "Hey, it seems that I really can't go back, in fact, I don't know if I'm a human or a ghost, people in the yang world can see me, and ghosts in the underworld can also see me." ”
Zhang Qi carefully observed his whole body, and found that something was indeed wrong, and immediately said: "Well, you are neither a human nor a ghost, just a grievance, when the resentment in your heart disappears, you will also evaporate in this world forever." ”
"Really? Xiao Zhu used to tell me the same thing, but I didn't believe it at the time. ”
Zhang Qi said: "Well, I can't kill you today, because you are not a ghost, but if you want to leave, you can only stay in the city, and you can't leave the city, and no ghosts are now prohibited from entering and leaving the city." ”
Zhang Qi turned around and walked back to the stage unhurriedly, turned his back to him and said, "Shaoxia may wish to consider it, being an errand with me and doing things for me is the best of both worlds." ”
"The best of both worlds? Can you tell me what are the two good things? ”
Zhang Qi pinched his beard and replied in a low voice: "First, if you are a ghost, you can go to the yang world to see your family when you are on a mission, and second, you don't have to live in hiding in Tibet every day." ”
"Hide? Why should I hide? ”
Zhang Qi said: "This official won't arrest you, but other officials won't?" Whether you actually kill people or not, they won't listen to you. ”
"Then aren't you afraid of harboring criminals?"
"Of course I'm not afraid, the official only needs to help you change your identity, and you can wander around the city unimpeded."
He Weidao: "Change your identity? Can the name not be changed? ”
"Haha, who would know your name? No one knows your name. ”
"So how do you change your identity? Disguised? Or is it a transformation? He Wei asked curiously.
Zhang Qi said: "You just need to become a ghost shop, everyone has to walk around in a circle when they see you, from now on, no matter where you go, even if it is an inn, as long as you pat your ass and sit down, everyone has to be scared in their hearts, just like a mouse sees a cat, this high dignity is out of reach in the underworld, do you know?" ”
He Weidao: "So exaggerated? You old man didn't fool me, did you? Isn't it just a little ghost, as if the emperor is coming? ”
"Would you like to?"
"Yes, why don't you want to, of course I'm willing, what reason do I have to refuse such a good treatment."
"Okay, then you'll be in office tomorrow." Zhang Qi took out a bag from his sleeve, turned around and threw it into He Wei's hand, and said: "These white-faced steamed buns will be wrapped up tonight, change into a good outfit, and I will come to receive your official seal tomorrow." ”
"Steamed buns?" He Wei was a little surprised, and immediately opened the bag in his hand, and looked down, it was indeed filled with five or six steamed buns with white flowers, but it seemed that the time was a little long, and it felt cold in the palm of his hand, and it was very hard, like steamed buns that had been separated for several nights.
"Why are you giving me so many steamed buns? I can't eat that much. He Wei asked in surprise.
"Who let you eat it? This is the common currency of Hades, this poor and remote country, the people only recognize steamed buns and do not recognize money, because money cannot buy food, so food has become the most valuable 'treasure' in the market."
"Oh, I see, I understand when I hear you say this, then you go back and rest early, I'll leave first." After He Wei answered, he turned around and left.
Zhang Qi looked at his departing back, took out the dagger from before, and immediately shouted, "Hey, wait, take this over." ”
He Wei turned around, took the dagger and asked, "What are you doing for me?" ”
"This is a weapon, it is used for self-defense, there are too many thieves and bandits in the city, they will often be dispatched during the day and night, you have a dagger on your body, it is better than nothing." After Zhang Qi handed the dagger to He Wei, he waved his hand, only to see that the two female guards beside him had withdrawn outside the door.
"There are thieves and bandits in the city? Still in groups? He Wei was startled for a moment, and then said slowly: "Aren't the ghosts going to catch them?" Just let them burn and loot in the city so unscrupulously? ”
"Hey, I won't be able to tell you clearly for a while, the current situation is difficult to protect itself, where can I take care of removing the tyranny and peace, you can do it yourself, the official will go back to the house and sleep for a while." After Zhang Qi finished speaking, he walked towards the door.
He Wei suddenly stood in place and did not move, as if he had not yet woken up from the shocking words just now, and the blood on his body seemed to be about to be coagulated.
After a long time, it wasn't until he felt his body go numb that he slowly came back to his senses.
He Wei looked around, and found that there was no one left, and he was the only one left in the entire lobby, cold and deserted, and there was a dog barking from time to time outside the door, which made him feel that he was shivering all over.
He Wei walked out of the gate and came to the street, when it was already dark, but there were very few pedestrians on the street, only a handful of three or five pedestrians driving on the side of the road, and there was a tattered beggar in the corner.
The pedestrians looked very old, in their forties and fifties, and were not dressed in clothes, but coats made of leaves.
It is also surrounded by thatched houses, which look very ugly from the outside, and the only building that is gorgeous is the previous inn.
He Wei walked into the inn, it was empty, not as crowded as yesterday, and from time to time he could hear the rooster crow, which looked like morning.
The tables in the inn were neatly arranged, and the floor was so smooth that there was no second inn in the whole town that could be so decorated.
When He Wei walked in, he was suddenly intercepted by a junior and said to him: "Guest officer, it's closed today, please come back tomorrow." ”
"Closed? Isn't it just dawn? Why is it closed, you don't want to do my business, do you? ”
"Where, where, the guest officer thinks too much, we only open the door at night, and don't open the door during the day, this is the rule." Xiao Er replied with a smile.
"Oh, I see, since that's the case, then I'll retire first, and I'll come in the evening."
"Okay, go slowly!!"
When He Wei walked down the street, he found that there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the side of the road, and except for the beggar in the corner, there was not a single figure in the whole street.
He Wei saw that the beggar on the side of the road was pitiful, so he took out a steamed bun and gave it to him, but the beggar didn't eat it, and after taking it, he put it in his sleeve, put on a grinning face, and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you." ”
With this sentence, the beggar thanked He Weilian six times, and knelt down and kowtowed to him three times in a row, his face was so excited that he was red, and tears were about to seep out of his eyes.
He Wei felt a little incredible, so he asked: "Is your thank you gift a little too heavy, just a steamed bun, you don't need to make such a big gift." ”
The beggar smiled and said, "Shaoxia, you are really kind to me, if I develop in the future, I will not forget your kindness." ”
He Wei immediately reached out to help him up, patted the dust on his body, took out a steamed bun from his bag, stuffed it into the beggar's hand, and said, "Come, I'm giving you a food, I see that you are hungry, hurry up and eat." ”
The beggar's face changed, tears were in his eyes, and he hurriedly stuffed the steamed bun in his hand into his mouth and took a bite, but he only took this bite and did not continue to eat. He Wei looked up and said, "You are really a good person, I have never seen such a handsome and dashing hero as you." ”
He Wei touched the back of his head, smiled stupidly, and said, "Hey, it's okay, it's okay, it's all right, what a good job!" Hey, hey, hey. ”
At this time, the beggar's expression suddenly changed greatly, and before He Wei could react, he quickly turned around and quickly pulled his legs and went straight to the mouth of the alley.
He Wei was suddenly a little confused, and a fox smell hit his nose head-on. Then he turned to look at the back of the beggar leaving, and said loudly, "Hey? Where are you going in such a hurry? ”
"Hey! The kid in the alley, hand over all the steamed buns on his body to me, uncle, I have seen it just now. ”
A middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from behind He Wei, his voice was very rude, and he didn't look like a good person when he heard it. And there were countless messy footsteps in my ears one after another.
He Wei turned his head suddenly, and seven or eight middle-aged men with disheveled hair instantly appeared in his sight, they were sloppy, as if they hadn't washed early for hundreds of years. Their clothes were very shabby, they were wearing straw sandals, and each of them held a sharpened wooden stick in their hands, and they walked towards He Wei one by one.
When He Wei saw the sudden situation in front of him, he was so frightened that he immediately took out the dagger that Zhang Qi had given him before from his pocket, pointed at everyone in front of him, and said, "What are you doing?" You're going to rob, aren't you? ”
The middle-aged man who walked in front of him stopped, followed the crowd behind him and waved his hand, "Hahahahaha!" Congratulations, you guessed it right, Uncle Ben, I am going to kill the rich and help the poor today, and do chivalrous justice! ”
He Wei's face was shocked, his legs trembled and he took two steps back, the dagger in his hand was clenched tightly, pointed at the man's chest and said, "I don't have anything of value on me, just a few steamed buns, if you want it, I'll give it to you." ”
The middle-aged man's eyes widened, as if he felt a little surprised, and hesitated for a few seconds before he spoke: "What?" So refreshing? It doesn't seem to be an ordinary person, since that's the case, let's hurry up and hand over the steamed buns, so as not to cause a bloody disaster. ”
When He Wei heard this, he didn't think about it, and immediately took out the bag from his pocket, stuffed it into the man, and said, "Come, it's all for you." ”
