Section 7 The Back Road

() Even in a poor place, there will be a bit of a tyrant. The town of Lok Yan is no exception, with three ancient manors at the foot of the mountain to the east. The blue brick glazed tiles and marble walls are the "Linhai Manor" of the Ling family, the ancient European-style stone houses and brick and stone walls are the "Horton Villa" of the Horton family, and the red bricks and white tiles and black iron fence are the "Drinking Horse Red Mansion" of the Sima family.

The three families have a history of hundreds of years in Luoyan Town, with the Ling family building as a business, the Huo Dun family as a maritime merchant, and the Sima family as a talented scholar family.

After coming out of the shipyard, the captain Xia Yihan took the accountant Wu Congyun to the path outside Horton Villa. It's noon, and the sun is shining through the sparse cedars and shredded over the towering walls of Houghton Hills. The walls are covered with withered yellow vines, giving the trail a sense of oldness and serenity.

The captain walked in front of himself, pausing from time to time to touch the wall. The accountant looked a little strange and asked, "Boss, what are you doing?" ”

The captain did not answer, but asked him, "How long have you been with me?" ”

The accountant was stunned for a moment, and then replied expectantly, "It's been almost ten years." ”

"It's not a wage increase." The captain quickly explained.

The accountant suddenly froze, and said weakly, "Then why are you asking this?" ”

"I mean, how much have you learned after all this time with me? Do you know what is the most important thing about us pirates? The captain said.

"Fierce and vicious!" The accountant said angrily, but the captain shook his head. "Strength, armed!" The captain continued to shake his head. "Power, gold!" The captain shook his head.

"Is it a pickled girl?" The accountant asked, and the captain shook his head.

"Domineering", "Scud", "Murderous Eyes", "Shameless Soul", "Scoundrel's Heart", "Cheeky", "Talking with Momentum", "Able to Swim Three Thousand Meters", "Snoring in Sleep", the accountant said a series of things, but the captain still shook his head. Finally, the accountant spread his hands and said, "That's all, I don't know anything else." ”

"Yes......" the captain muttered, stopping suddenly, grabbing his fingers at a brick covered with vines on the outer wall. With a full force, the whole brick was pulled out. Then he raised the brick in his hand and said imposingly, "The way back!" ”

Hidden in the hole in the wall were a small bag of money and a pistol wrapped in oiled paper. The captain only took out the money bag, opened it and saw that there were 5 gold inside. Wherever he went, as long as he had plenty of money, he would hide a little money and weapons in case he needed them. As the so-called cunning rabbit three holes, as a pirate leader, you must be ready to flee for your life at any time. After taking the money, the captain will restore the scene, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see anything unusual at all.

"Boss, you can figure it out that you actually hid the money in the walls of Horton's house." The accountant lamented.

The captain laughed and said, "This place is good, and ordinary people don't come here if they are fine." ”

After taking these 5 golds, there are now 107 golds, and they are getting closer and closer to the goal. Next, the captain took the accountant to the outside of Sima's Red Mansion of Yinma.

"You're hiding money here?" Looking at the tall iron fence of Sima's house, the accountant couldn't imagine where the pirate leader would hide his money.

"Follow along." The captain smiled mysteriously, and led the accountant around to the back of the Red Mansion of the Drinking Horse. Through the dark iron fence, a small door on the side of the building can be seen. This small door leads to the kitchen and is a common passage for servants.

At this time, the front garden of the Yuma Red Mansion was covered with snow and silence. At this time of year, no one wants to be outdoors unless it is necessary.

Outside the fence was a large rock half a man high, and the captain crouched down in the leeward, staring intently at the small door. This squatting was half an hour, and the accountant who accompanied him was so cold that he shivered, and said in a trembling voice, "Boss, okay...... It's cold, you...... What are you waiting for...... What the? ”

"Shhhhh......h

At this moment, the small door opened, and a fat aunt squeezed out with a basin. The captain hurriedly stood up with the stone, and he was so cold that he couldn't stand up straight.

"Hey......" the captain shouted in a low voice, beckoning to the fat aunt to come over.

"Boss, I'm ...... I'm really ...... I admire you so much, Lian ...... I won't even let my aunt go......" the accountant said inarticulately.

When the fat aunt approached, the captain leaned against the iron fence and said with a smirk, "Big ...... Auntie, good ...... It's so cold......"

The fat aunt frowned, crossed her waist, and shouted in a rough voice, "Go home if it's cold!" What the hell are you doing here! ”

"Big ...... Auntie, you ...... Can you give some hot water to drink, drink...... I'll leave when I'm done, you...... You see I ...... I can't even walk. ”

"Sneaky! One look at it and you know it's not a good thing! After the fat aunt finished drinking and scolding, the bucket twisted her waist and went back......

Looking at the figure that disappeared into the small door, Wu Congyun couldn't help it and asked, "Head...... Boss, what the hell are you waiting for, ...... Wait any longer, and we'll all freeze to death." ”

"It's fine." The captain waved his hand and said, "She will go back and gossip to others, saying, 'There are two sneaky beggars out there.'" ”

"We are bandits, not beggars!" The accountant shouted.

"Tough fart, you're still a bandit, is there a bandit who is so afraid of the cold?"

"Yes, yes......" The accountant nodded, but muttered in his heart, "You're not afraid of the cold?" ”

After a while, the door opened again. This time it was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with very delicate facial features, who looked like the little girl next door.

The girl looked around, as if looking for something. Seeing this scene, the captain stood up straight with his eyes shining and waved to the girl excitedly.

"It's really not human, even the little girl doesn't spare it......" the accountant muttered quietly.

The captain turned around and asked him, "What did you say?" I didn't hear clearly. ”

"I didn't ...... It's okay, it's too cold, hit ...... Tooth tremors. The accountant hurriedly explained.

"Be careful." The captain threatened.

In the blink of an eye, the girl ran over, grabbed the iron fence with both hands, and shouted happily, "Uncle ~ Uncle ~"

"That's good." The captain touched the girl's head through the fence and said, "It's growing so fast, I haven't seen it for a few months, and I'm getting prettier, and in a few years I'm going to be a big girl." ”

"Really?" The girl asked, and the captain nodded. "yes~" The girl jumped up happily.

"Where's Miss Sima?" The captain changed his mind and asked about something else.

The girl was suddenly upset, pouted, and said, "I know the eldest lady." ”

"What do you think I've brought you?" After saying that, the captain groped all over his body for a while under the girl's expectant gaze, and finally found a hairpin with a light blue shimmer in the inner pocket.

Seeing this hairpin, the accountant's eyes straightened. Made from the sockets of the serrated tiger shark, the king of the deep sea, the hairpin is as hard as a diamond, and must be repeatedly polished with a high-energy laser to shape, and it is also set with seven deep blue pearls of incalculable value in various sizes.

"Oh my God, Dark Blue Pearl, what is he doing?" The accountant screamed in his heart, almost trying to reach out and grab it back. But it was too late, and the girl put on a delicate hairpin and bounced back with a sweet smile.

At this moment, the accountant's heart also jumped with the girl, and disappeared into the small wooden door......

He stared blankly at the small wooden door, forgetting the flow of time, forgetting the cold of winter, until the snowflakes covered his shoulders, and he came back to his senses in a daze.

There's one more girl in front of me.

The girl was in her early twenties, very beautiful, with wider shoulders than the average girl, a round figure, and a pair of large round-brimmed glasses. It has both a mature charm and a strong bookish atmosphere, exuding an intellectual beauty. The gestures are atmospheric and elegant, indifferent but not losing temperature, steady but losing aura.

The overall feeling is that if the heart stops water, the wisdom is blue.

The accountant has been with the captain for almost ten years, and for so many years, he doesn't like the women around the captain. It's only today, and although he doesn't like it either, he really can't find anything wrong with it.

"Xia Yihan, good afternoon."

Her voice is calm and warm, and her articulation is very clear, and it sounds very comfortable.

"I'm sick...... "The captain said pitifully. The girl in front of her is named Sima Ren, and she is the eldest lady of the Sima family.

The girl smiled slightly and asked softly, "When will you die?" ”

"Almost......" said the captain weakly, as if he was going to die at any moment.

Looking at the leader's pretense, the accountant leaned his body and almost couldn't stand steadily. So, he made a very important decision, that is, to stand farther away, out of sight is clear, and ears are not clear, which is good for everyone.

When the accountant was far away, Sima Ren asked softly, "What is your wish before you die?" ”

"There are many wishes...... At this moment, the captain is thinking about how to lead the conversation to the gold coin. His logic is very simple, since he is sick, he needs money to cure him.

"Another shot?" When asking a question, Sima Ren's expression was very serious, without the slightest temptation, and his tone was very calm, as if he was having an academic discussion. But this huge contrast, like the fuse that ignited the explosives, instantly made him almost unable to hold on.

Fortunately, I took the fire-lowering elixir from Ling Zhenyu just now, otherwise I would definitely be like a hungry tiger pounceing on a sheep now, my head was blank, and I couldn't scruple about anything.

"I want money." The captain turned his heart and said the purpose directly. In the face of this girl whose heart is like a mirror and is clumsy, it is simply an insult to her wisdom to go around the bends.

As soon as the words fell, Sima Ren raised his hand and threw something through the iron fence. As soon as the captain took it, it was heavy, and it was accompanied by the sound of "bang-la-la", and you didn't need to look at it to know that it was a gold coin. The captain wondered a little how she could guess that an eldest lady was here to ask for money because it was impossible for an eldest lady to carry money with her, and it was still in her own home.

"How do you ......"

Sima Ren interrupted him, "Come to me at this point in time, what else can you do except ask for money?" This sentence was a pun, and the captain broke out in a cold sweat. This girl looks at him like she looks at transparent glass, she can see everything clearly, it's terrible.

"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do now." Sima Ren continued. This is another pun, the IQ is a little lower, and you can't talk happily.

"Okay, then...... Then I'm leaving. "Well, be careful on the road."

The captain was just about to turn around, but Sima Ren stopped him again and reminded, "I'm twenty-two years old this year. ”

"Well, that's good, I'm young, you see I'm in my thirties."

"You still have two years to go." "Huh?" "I'm a student of biochemistry, and I can configure one hundred and thirty-six deadly poisons."

"That's amazing!" The captain gave a thumbs up.

"Anyway, if I marry someone else, I'll have to poison you." Sima Ren said lightly.

"As for it?" The captain asked pitifully.

"As for." Sima Ren smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will die with you." ”

"As for it?" The captain repeated.

"As for the millionth power." Sima Ren stretched out his voice and said word by word.

"It's not the only one, it's the bottom line." The captain retreated.

"I don't care about this, it's up to you." Sima Ren replied simply. The captain was just about to say yes, but her voice sounded again, "Fifteen times a month, whether you can do it or not!" ”

The captain was speechless for a moment, unable to think of an answer to fight for the best interests. By the time he thought about it, the Yiren had already walked away, leaving only a faint figure......
