Chapter 115: Uninvited Guest
Originally, I wanted to get Ye Jiuqing drunk and let him sleep well, but I overestimated myself, Ye Jiuqing was originally massive, and I was in a heavy mood tonight, drinking alcohol was like drinking water, the more I drank, the more sober I became, but I was already groggy and couldn't speak.
"If you ask a question, you must be anxious with me." I picked up the wine in front of Ye Jiuqing and drank it.
"Say." Ye Jiuqing replied lightly.
"It stands to reason that you have reached this age, you have a name, you have money, I have been with you for more than ten years, and I don't see how greedy you are, why didn't you think about stopping it?" I saw that Ye Jiuqing was already a little vague, and asked the words that had been pressed in my heart for many years with the strength of wine.
"I know in my heart that Zhiqiu has always minded what I am doing now, you are right, her mother put her life on the line for me, and she should have stopped at that time." Ye Jiuqing took the rickety wine bottle from my hand. "However, there is one more important thing I have not done......
"We are tomb robbers, you have also done it all your life, what else can be more important than Zhiqiu, you know that she can't let go, to say something unpleasant, what we do is to damage yin morality, you are not afraid of retribution?"
"Retribution?" Ye Jiuqing glanced at me with a heroic look. "I, Ye Jiuqing, never believe in retribution, that's an excuse made by the weak for themselves, I only believe that people will win the day, Zhiqiu doesn't understand now, and she will understand one day in the future."
"It's all this age, there are still a few days left, there are still Feng Cheng and generals in the pawnshop, why don't you wash your hands in a golden basin, you should enjoy happiness at your age, who is still turning over the dead pit every day." I was drunk, confused, and my mind was blurry.
"Not yet, when I finish the last thing, I'll naturally stop." Ye Jiuqing shook his head resolutely, looking at me and his voice softened. "You grew up with Zhiqiu, she has always listened to you, help me persuade her when she is fine, Zhiqiu is simple and does not go through the world, you have to take care of her."
"Take care of her, you exalt me too much, you call her a wrongdoer, I can't hide from her, and dare to provoke her, you can rest assured, only you live a long life, she is a big Lou Zi again, and no one dares to do anything to her." I wanted to get the wine glass in front of me, but I couldn't get it, seeing Ye Jiuqing's worried eyes, I said to him from the bottom of my heart. "Don't worry, I'm not a person who forgets my roots, after you are a hundred years old, the master will give you linen and filial piety to the end, Zhiqiu grew up with me, I am her brother, you are gone, and I am gone."
Ye Jiuqing nodded, sat opposite for a long time, poured two glasses of wine again, suddenly looked at me with a serious expression for a long time, and then calmly picked up the wine.
"I salute you for this glass of wine."
"Hahaha." I couldn't help but laugh out loud and struggled for a long time to reach the glass. "You're looking for me to be happy, when will it be your turn to toast me, don't you just take care of Zhiqiu, you just don't say it, I'm Gu Chaoge, even if I work hard to protect her."
"No, this glass of wine is not for Zhiqiu." Ye Jiuqing shook his head, his eyes and expression became solemn, he was silent for a long time, and he stopped talking to me. "What if...... If one day, there is something I Ye Jiuqing can't live in, it depends on the love I brought you back in the first place...... Forgive me. ”
"You're not thick...... Kind, let me sign it back then, I would have been a pawnshop a long time ago, my life is yours, what else to forgive or not, besides, what can you be sorry for me. I shook my head happily and smiled wryly, propping myself up on the table and standing up. Cheng, I'll drink this glass of wine, you really have to be sorry for me, and the master promises not to worry about you. ”
I threw my head back and drank it, and then I fell unconscious to the ground with a pop.
When I woke up the next day, I slept on the bed in my room, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Ye Zhiqiu staring at me intently, and he was fierce, I sat up from the bed, my head was still dizzy, and I rubbed my temples hard to avoid her gaze.
"Why are you running into my room?"
"Don't you know he's coughing badly? Let you help accompany him, you are good, pull him to drink, and drink yourself directly. "Ye Zhiqiu is aggressive.
"The shopkeeper drank like water yesterday, and I was thinking about getting drunk, but who knows if I didn't carry it." As soon as Ye Zhiqiu said this, I remembered what happened last night.
"Bring him the medicine, and let me know that you drink with him, and you won't come back to this place." Ye Zhiqiu stood up and pointed to the medicine that was still steaming on the table and said.
"You boiled the medicine, send it yourself, what is it for me to borrow flowers and offer Buddha." I looked at Ye Zhiqiu and shook my head and smiled bitterly. "You obviously care about the shopkeeper, why do you look cold every day, it's been so many years, and your obsession has been boiled into resentment by you, he is your father, as for this."
"It's not your turn to take care of my business, when will he stop, when will I let go." Ye Zhiqiu mentioned that Ye Jiuqing's anger came up again, but when he left, he didn't forget to tell him. "Hurry up and bring the medicine over, you can't drink it when it's cold."
When I went to Ye Jiuqing's room, I found that his door was open, and when I saw the general standing inside, I handed the medicine to Ye Jiuqing, he frowned, and he looked bored and helpless to drink it.
"Or ...... Let's go to the song. The general said to Ye Jiuqing.
"Go? Where to go? I asked blankly.
Ye Jiuqing glanced at me, thought for a long time and nodded, let me sit down and ask seriously: "Hua Xishuang, do you know?" ”
Know, of course I know, who in this circle doesn't know the name of this woman yet.
Ye Jiuqing is well-known in the tomb robbery industry, but the most enjoyable is still in the Sichuan generation, as the saying goes, a strong dragon can't overpower the head snake, and when it comes to other places, Ye Jiuqing has to look at other people's faces.
But this woman named Hua Xishuang is different, but anyone who mixes in this industry has to give face to this woman, to be precise, Hua Xishuang is not a person in this circle, in fact, she does the same thing as Ye Jiuqing.
Hua Xishuang is a serious antique dealer on the surface, and the business is not small, the most important thing is that Hua Xishuang does these businesses are visible, and she has dealings with the powerful, down to the three religions and nine streams, all kinds of characters are everywhere.
Hua Xishuang's connections are so huge that they are beyond imagination, a woman is in the black and white mixed wind and water, don't look at it as just an antique dealer, but she can do anything in black and white, and everyone in this industry has to give her some face.
Speaking of antiques, the best goods are all unsightly rat goods, secretly Hua Xishuang maintains close contact with the people in the tomb robbery business, even Ye Jiuqing has good goods to sell, it is all through the hands of this woman, she is in the tomb robbery business, the weight of words is very heavy, no one dares to offend this woman.
Ye Jiuqing couldn't move in the past three days every year, and no one dared to disturb him, and now the general was standing in his room, it must have something to do with this woman.
"What's wrong with Hua Xishuang?" I asked seriously.
"Hua Xishuang arrived in Chengdu, and now he is in the Sifang pawnshop, saying that he wants to see the shopkeeper." The general said.
"Hua Xishuang suddenly ran to Chengdu to see the shopkeeper?" I guessed that things were not simple when I looked at Ye Jiuqing's face. "Did you say anything?"
"It's said that she asked the shopkeeper to return her a favor." The general said to us calmly. "But that's a very polite one."
"It's still ...... to find the shopkeeper Gift?! I looked at Ye Jiuqing suspiciously.
"Presumably, Hua Xishuang is talking about what happened to us in Luoyang Shangqiu a few years ago." The general said to Ye Jiuqing.
"What the hell is going on?"
"You don't know this, you were still learning things from Zhao Yan in the pawnshop at that time." Ye Jiuqing said to me with an anxious face. "I went to Luoyang Shangqiu with the general to explore a tomb, the beginning was very smooth, the thief hole directly hit the main tomb, I wanted to leave if I succeeded, who knew that I was ordered to be watered (informant), and was arrested by the military police on the spot, unfortunately it was more than enough to catch up with the crackdown, and it was more than enough to be shot, Feng Cheng hurriedly found Hua Xishuang to help, but the next day I and the general were released, and it was also a life-saving grace, and Hua Xishuang did not mention a word in front of me all these years afterwards."
"This woman is very good at being a person, I know that you will repay your kindness, such a big person doesn't mention it, just waiting for you to pay back a big one, and I'm afraid it's not a small thing to come to the door today." I nodded thoughtfully and asked the general. "Didn't tell her, the shopkeeper is inconvenient to see her?"
"Having said that, Hua Xishuang said it doesn't matter, she can wait." The general replied.
"It seems that the matter is really not small, so I can't send it away, I guess I have to see the shopkeeper." I smiled and turned to ask the general. "Did she say what she was doing with the shopkeeper?"
"I said I asked the shopkeeper to help me explore a tomb."
...... I didn't react for a moment. Hua Xishuang has not used such a big favor, and in the end it is just to let the shopkeeper visit a tomb? Then it doesn't matter, I thought she had a crush on our pawnshop, isn't it just a tomb, and it won't be over for her in a few days. ”
"No, she has a life-saving grace for me, it must be important for people to come to the door, and the general said it clearly, she is still willing to wait, it can be seen that this matter is also very urgent for Hua Xishuang, I can't do something ungrateful." Ye Jiuqing shook his head.
"What then? You can't go see her now, can you? I asked.
"I have already told the shopkeeper about Yunnan, you have been tracking down the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace, and now the clues have been broken, and Feng Cheng will not be able to come back for a while when he goes to Liaodong, and there is no news from the gold owner." The general said calmly to Ye Jiuqing. "I mean, let Chaoge see Hua Xishuang, it's inconvenient for the shopkeeper to see him, so let Chaoge do it for you."
"You don't know all the skills in my hands, it's right to see Hua Xishuang, since you are in this circle, you must know a woman like her, and there will be one more way in the future." Ye Jiuqing nodded and said to me. "Help me go to see her, Hua Xishuang wants to visit the tomb, with your current ability, it shouldn't be difficult, be sure to help her find the tomb, and I can repay her favor."
