Chapter Ninety-Four: Human Affection
Taking out the frost-white longevity turtle from the brocade box, holding it in his hand and playing with it, Boss Xu looked at Long Yuan with a sneer, and said in his heart: I really don't know which tendon in He Xiuzhu's mind is wrong, and he will actually send a little doll to run the business.
Click
Suddenly, Long Yuan stood up and slashed down with his sword raised his arm, and the afterimage brushed over the frost-white longevity turtle, and the wood carving was split in two and fell to the ground.
Boss Xu was frightened by Long Yuan's sudden move, and stood there with a sneer on his face, his thoughts hadn't turned for a while.
"What are you doing!"
When he came back to his senses, he picked up the wood carving that had turned into two halves with trembling hands, and roared at Long Yuan with tears in his eyes.
In comparison, Long Yuan seemed calm and calm, only to see him standing with his hands in his hands, and his thin lips said lightly: "This is the evidence that Boss Xu wants." ”
"Shhhh
I didn't notice Long Yuan's movements before, but now I found out that the cross-section of the wood carving was smooth and flat like a sharp blade, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, Boss Xu would never believe that it was done by man.
"Boss Xu is still satisfied with my evidence?" Long Yuan said.
Boss Xu looked at Long Yuan, then at the wood carving in his hand, and said dejectedly: "Can you tell me how you found that there were no white beads in the frost-white longevity turtle?"
Long Yuan was silent, stepped forward and broke the tail of the frost-white longevity turtle with a "click", and threw it to Boss Xu, who saw Boss Xu's eyelids jumping.
"Haha, the afterlife is terrible, the afterlife is terrifying!"
Boss Xu is also an expert in playing wood carving, and as soon as he started, he judged that the tail part of the wood carving was not a wind sand wood heart, and the frost-white longevity turtle naturally could not give birth to white beads.
This time, he was convinced of the defeat, and he didn't make much excuses, so he simply turned around and instructed his subordinates behind him: "Take my jade pendant and ask Master Qi for a wood carving of a frost-white longevity turtle." ”
As he spoke, he took the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to one of his subordinates.
Looking at the back of his departing subordinates, Boss Xu turned around and arched his hand to Long Yuan very formally: "This time it's me Xu someone who can't stand it, and please don't blame Steward Long." After speaking, he bowed to Long Yuan again.
Boss Xu said seriously. Long Yuan stepped forward and helped Boss Xu up.
The subordinates sent out by Boss Xu acted very quickly, and just when Long Yuan and Boss Xu exchanged pleasantries for a while, his subordinates trotted over with a similar brocade box.
The brocade box was handed over to Long Yuan, and when Long Yuan opened the brocade box, there was also a frost-white longevity turtle wood carving.
Long Yuan used his divine sense to investigate, and this time there was indeed a white bead the size of a pigeon's egg in the wood carving, Long Yuan nodded to Boss Xu with satisfaction, and then personally put the brocade box into the cargo box.
"Boss Xu, since the delivery is complete, I will leave next. ”
After saying goodbye to each other, Long Yuan left with the caravan, leaving only Boss Xu and the others who were looking at their distant backs.
Looking at Long Yuan, who disappeared at the end of the street, Boss Xu said expressionlessly: "I have paid off your favor, and I will have nothing to do with you from now on." ”
"I'm afraid you've lost so much this time, I'm afraid it's a big loss of vitality!" said one of his men standing behind him contemptuously.
Boss Xu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he retorted unceremoniously: "It's better to have a big injury than to be controlled by you." ”
"Without our help, you don't want to gain a foothold in Ploughing City!" the man who looked like one of his men threatened in a cold voice.
"It doesn't bother you. Boss Xu's tone was very tough, and it could be seen that he didn't have a good impression of this person.
......
"Steward Long, you were really amazing just now!" Several guards gathered around Long Yuan, and even Lao Zhang, who was old and serious, couldn't hide the admiration on his face, "Tell us quickly, how did you see that there were no white beads in that wood carving?"
Long Yuan smiled slyly and said mysteriously: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed. ”
"Spoiled!"
Seeing that Long Yuan refused to speak, everyone was disappointed, but they didn't continue to ask. The topic quickly shifted to eating, and the guard who threatened to invite everyone to eat and drink naturally couldn't escape, and several people happily discussed how to slaughter him.
"The wine and food in Zuiyue Building are good, or let's go there to eat!" Seeing that everyone couldn't discuss the result, Lao Zhang couldn't help but speak.
When the guards heard Lao Zhang's proposal, they all gave a thumbs up, "It's still Brother Zhang who has vision." In that case, let's go to the Drunken Moon Tower!"
Under the leadership of Lao Zhang, everyone screamed and slaughtered to Zuiyue Tower.
......
"Hiccup!"
After they had eaten and drunk, the caravan guards burped and helped each other to the guest rooms in the backyard.
Only Lao Zhang and Long Yuan were sober, Lao Zhang didn't drink because he had to be on duty, and Long Yuan didn't have anyone to drink because he was young.
"Whew-"
Lao Zhang sat in the carriage, smoking a cigarette comfortably with his eyes closed.
"Lao Zhang, do you know where the market in Liting City is?" Long Yuan walked to Lao Zhang.
Long Yuan hadn't forgotten the purpose of his coming out with the caravan this time, he wanted to go to the bazaar to see if he could find the old man with the mysterious woodcut.
"Market?" Lao Zhang tilted his head and thought for a moment, "You can see it if you walk north along the main street." ”
"Okay, then I'll go out. After learning the location, Long Yuan waved his hand and walked towards the street alone.
The bustling flow of people with different expressions made Liting City full of vitality. Long Yuan's pace also deliberately slowed down, enjoying a rare tranquility.
"Oops!"
Long Yuan, who was intoxicated with tranquility, suddenly felt something hit his shoulder, and a childish cry of pain sounded in his ears.
On the ground in front of Long Yuan was lying a young man of his age, and the young man stood up with difficulty holding his waist.
Long Yuan looked the young man up and down, only to see that the young man was dressed in a coarse cloth coat stained with oil, and the wide coarse cloth clothes were very awkward on the young man's thin body, and his unkempt face made people unable to see his appearance clearly, only a pair of inky black eyes were shining like jewels.
The young man grinned and rubbed his aching buttocks, his eyes looked at Long Yuan, who was about the same size as him, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart: What is this kid made of, how is it so heavy and hard!
Seeing this scene, many locals in Liting City on the side of the road shook their heads helplessly, lamenting in their hearts that Long Yuan's luck was too bad to actually run into this little broom star.
"You didn't, did you?"
Long Yuan's face had a smile like a spring breeze, and those bright and moving eyes seemed to be able to penetrate all falsehood.
"No, I'm fine. Under Long Yuan's gaze, the young man swallowed back the words he was about to attack, and then stammered in reply.
"Be careful next time you walk. ”
Like a mouse seeing a cat, the young man shrunk his neck and said a cruel word to Long Yuan, and then ran away in a hurry.
It seems that he also realizes that his performance is too embarrassing, and the young man keeps comforting himself in his heart: Forget it, anyway, if you have some gains, let this kid go!
It's just that the young man who left in a hurry didn't notice that Long Yuan's thin lips, who passed by him, slowly opened a playful arc.
Some people couldn't bear to remind Long Yuan, but they were pulled by their companions beside them, and finally had to cast a sympathetic look at Long Yuan.
The boy who had burrowed into the alley panted against the wall, and after looking left and right to make sure that no one was following, he shook out a delicate little money bag from his cuff.
bite
"Cut, what a poor ghost!"
The delicate little money bag spit out two copper coins and landed on the young man's palm, and the young man pouted dissatisfiedly and muttered.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I don't usually have the habit of carrying coins. A sudden sound sounded in the air at the entrance of the alley, making the young man shudder.
