Chapter 66: The Old Man
Welcome to Guanshu Network:
On that day, Zhuo Yugui went to the town as usual to solicit business from tourists, and there was no guest until noon, and he rushed home for lunch in a depressed manner, and found that there was a pair of young girls standing at the door. Yugui thought it was a tourist who came to complain, and suddenly his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly greeted him and asked: "The two girls are here to stay, the store is clean and affordable, and the environment is good, why don't you go in first to have a look?" ”
The two girls didn't answer, just nodded with a smile, although Zhuo Yugui was an elderly person, after a closer look, he was suddenly shocked, this is a pair of twin sisters, they look exactly the same, the little face is exquisite, so they hurriedly opened the courtyard door and led the way in front of themselves.
The girl took out a stack of banknotes and put it on the table, it seemed that it was not less than a thousand yuan, but Zhuo Yugui was very happy, and she was busy arranging the two of them into the guest room with the key, and went to the town happily to buy a lot of vegetables and fruits, spiced cooked food, and arranged a table of meals.
But the two girls only asked him to make some porridge, and specially instructed him to send it into the room. Strange is strange, but people are guests, and they are generous, so they do it one by one. Facing a table of good dishes and counting the banknotes in his hand, Zhuo Yugui couldn't help humming a little song with joy, and he was in a good mood for a while, poured himself a few cups of wine, and drank it smackingly.
All afternoon, the two girls did not go out of the door, because the other person was a young woman, he naturally did not want to disturb, when it was time for dinner, he went to knock on the door again to call for dinner, there was no response for a long time, and when he was about to leave, the door opened.
Yugui thought to himself that he was tired after a day of playing, and fell asleep here in the afternoon, looking at the cold face, he said unnaturally: "I'm here to call the two of you to dinner, I wonder if you have rested?" ”
"The boss is polite, come in and sit down for a while." It's a man's voice!
Obviously, two women went in, and they were at home all afternoon, and they hadn't seen any men coming, so why was there a man here at this time? But when I thought about what age it was, and I opened an inn again, what kind of events I hadn't seen, I thought it shouldn't be a good thing to disturb the guests, so I turned around and prepared to leave.
Before he took a step, there was a coldness in his neck, and when he looked down, a long knife was already on his neck, and his legs suddenly became weak when he was frightened, could it be that someone came to rob him?
Slowly turned his head and found that the owner of this knife was the woman who was guarding the door just now, and Zhuo Yugui's old face was as ugly as it was at the moment.
The man in the room said again: "Chiyo, put away Suzumaru Hengji, don't be so rude to Mr. Zhuo, please let him in!" ”
After the woman named Chiyo heard the order, she put away the long knife, and put it into the red scabbard with a "rub" sound, Zhuo Yugui glanced at it secretly, the knife was very similar to the katana used by the Japanese in the anti-Japanese war movie on TV, and there was a string of prayer beads wrapped around the hilt. Chiyo made a gesture of please, and he could only cautiously push open the half-hidden door and move in.
There was an old rattan chair in the room, and at the moment a middle-aged man was sitting on it with his eyes squinted, and a woman behind him was pinching his shoulder, and beside her, a long knife with a black scabbard was standing in the corner.
After entering, the man didn't speak, just cared about enjoying the woman's massage, shaking his neck from time to time, Zhuo Yugui raised his head nervously and looked at it, and was scared half to death, the man had a scar on his face!
In the middle of the sound, the man spoke: "Qianxue's swordsmanship has improved again, and she is already on par with your sister, and now she is worthy of that ghost pill." ”
The woman behind her was not surprised when she heard the compliment, she still had a cold face, the man gave up slightly, the girl named Qianxue immediately stepped aside, the two sisters stood together, bowed to the man in the middle, withdrew from the room with small steps, and gently closed the door, and now only Zhuo Yugui and him were left.
The man didn't speak, and Zhuo Yugui naturally didn't dare to speak, just hoping that these few people who would draw their knives at every turn would evacuate their inn as soon as possible, and the two of them were silent.
Finally, the man opened his eyes, looked at the old man carefully, and said, "Mr. Zhuo, decades have passed, don't come unharmed." ”
Zhuo Yugui was shocked, decades? Cowardly asked, "This guest, do you know the old man?" ”
The man smiled, stood up on the rattan chair, walked up to Zhuo Yugui, took out something from his arms, squeezed it into a fist and put it in front of him, and as soon as his palm loosened, something fell.
Zhuo Yugui looked at it, a dragon-shaped jade pendant!
Slowly Yugui also took out a box wrapped in brocade cloth from his arms, opened it tremblingly, and there was an identical jade pendant lying inside. Another jade pendant finally appeared, and he naturally understood in his heart, this was the person the old man told him to wait for.
The man picked up the jade pendant in Zhuo Yugui's hand, stroked it lightly with his hand, put it into his arms with that one, and said: "This jade pendant, you are very well preserved, Mr. Zhuo, you are very trustworthy, I believe that this time our cooperation will be more pleasant than that with my grandfather!" ”
"Your grandfather?" Zhuo Yugui asked?
The man turned his back and said, "The one who gave you this dragon-shaped jade pendant back then was my grandfather, Mochizuki Yukaku, the head of the Mochizuki family in Japan, he came to China with the army when he was young, and he searched for one thing all his life. It wasn't until he met you that he had a clue, and he didn't want to end up seriously injured and passed away shortly after returning home. At that time, his career would be completed by me. ”
Sure enough, it was him, Zhuo Yugui always thought that after so many years, that incident had been forgotten, but he didn't expect that what should have come after all, he asked: "So, what do you need me to do, is it to take you into the village again?" There is no one in that village anymore, and everyone is ...... by your grandfather."
"Mr. Zhuo", the man interrupted him, "I'm afraid you were also responsible for what happened back then, if it weren't for you, how would my grandfather have found that place?" ”
Zhuo Yugui felt ashamed, lowered his head, and stopped talking.
The man continued: "You help me find a person who is proficient in Chinese Taoism, when will I find it, when will I come to inform me, I will live in Furong Ju at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain." ”
With that, the man turned and left, leaving behind a wad of bills, and as he was leaving, he said, "My name is Mochizuki Kazuki!" ”
Zhuo Yugui wiped the cold sweat on his head, looked at the red mark on his neck in the mirror, turned his heart sideways, put away the thick pile of money and went out.
Because this is the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, so the Taoist incense is very vigorous, to find a few Taoist priests is not a piece of cake, make up a few reasons, make up some money, that night to find a lot of Taoist priests home, and ran to Furong House, asked Mochizuki Yimu to go over to see, do not want to be scolded by him fiercely, these Taoist priests are not good.
On the second day, he went to look for some again, and was rejected again by Mochizuki, and after a few days, he searched for all the Taoist priests around him, but none of them could satisfy Mochizuki and Ichiki, and on several occasions he was furious. Later, Mochizuki simply moved next door to Zhuo Yugui and built a house, but he was locked up at home all year round and didn't go out.
Three years have passed, Zhuo Xiong also retired from the army and returned home, during the banquet, Zhuo Yugui brought an unknown number of Taoist priests to Mochizuki to see, but they were all vetoed one by one, and even he himself did not have the patience to look for it again, but Mochizuki was a death order, and he had to find something that satisfied him, until Cha Wenbin and their arrival that night.
Because he has been dealing with Taoist priests all these years, Zhuo Laohan recognized Cha Wenbin's dress at a glance, this must be a Taoist priest, and he just wanted to report on the opportunity to buy wine, but Mochizuki was already waiting for him at the door.
Kazuki Mochizuki only said three words: "It's him!" Then he walked briskly back to his room.
At dinner time, after the strength of the wine and Lao Wang's words, Zhuo Yugui deliberately shook out the matter of Qi Fengshan, and sure enough, they were very interested. Seeing that his task was finally about to be completed, but his son wanted to follow, although Zhuo Xiong was not born by himself, but he was the only survivor of that village, and he was raised by himself, so he was in a dilemma. But Mochizuki said that if this thing couldn't be done. The two fathers and sons will be wiped out, and if they are done, not only will they be written off at this time, but they will also get a lot of wealth. Zhuo Yugui was originally a greedy and timid person, and after beating the carrot with a stick, he agreed.
