Chapter 315: A Special Trade
But I didn't need to make a move, and his exaggerated performance really startled the two girls. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Sang Qing had already stepped in front of Meng Jiang, his hand had naturally touched the hilt of the sword, and he made a defensive gesture.
Regarding other people's disgust, Cong Liyan didn't seem to see it, and still chattered: "To be honest, a beautiful girl like you is okay to play in the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, but to come to this kind of poor mountain and bad water place, don't say that there is a great danger, and I really wronged you!" But when you encounter me, you can put a hundred and a thousand hearts, not only to let you have fun all the way, but also to ensure that no one dares to offend you......"
I think the most important thing to guard against is you! I was not angry, and I was about to step forward to stop him from relieving the two girls, but suddenly I heard bursts of laughter from the side. Turning his head, he saw that it was Cong Li's brothers, who were all turning their heads to look at the meeting, laughing and discussing: "Cong Da is sick again......"
"Go, go, you know a hair! A bunch of rough men, don't scare other girls......" Cong Li turned around and scolded.
"Don't you understand, I don't even remember who my ancestors are when I see a girl, do you? ......""That's right, up to eighty, down to eighteen, all killed!" ......" "I don't have a wife when I'm old, I don't think you know much about women, right......" "What's wrong with a rough man, it's better than pretending to be Sven, it's so disgusting, and it's 'down', hahaha......" Everyone giggled and mocked him mercilessly.
He didn't care at all, and said to Meng Jiang and Sang Qing seriously: "Let's talk about us, don't pay attention to them, it's too vulgar!" ”
I really couldn't stand his pretentiousness, and I stepped forward and was about to speak, but Meng Jiang suddenly walked out from behind Sang Qing and said to Cong Liyan: "We are not familiar with each other, and it is indeed inconvenient, if you happen to be on the same road and take care of each other, it will also help us a lot." ”
"This ......" I was surprised, after all, we have a very important task in our bodies, and if we go with these unknown people, we will inevitably be constrained, why did Meng Jiang say this?
But Meng Jiang immediately threw me a knowing look, as if to indicate that she had her own plans. So I almost swallowed back the doubts I almost spoke.
Although Sang Qing also showed surprise on her face, although she and Meng Jiang had not known each other for a long time, they seemed to have established a fairly good tacit understanding, and they did not make a sound at this time.
When Cong Li heard this, of course he was overjoyed, and immediately asked, "Then how about we set off early tomorrow morning?" ”
"Cong Da, didn't you say that you would rest here for two or three days!" When he said this, some of his brothers had an opinion.
Cong Liyan turned his head and said as if he didn't care: "I mean myself, if you don't want to leave, stay!" ”
When the man heard this, his face changed, and he pouted and said, "Then let's go!" Someone next to him immediately teased him: "You dare to provoke Cong Da when he is sick?" Save it! ……”
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow morning." Meng Jiang nodded in approval. Cong Liyan looked flattering, rubbed his hands and stood there, happy as if he had picked up a dog's head gold, and he was no longer the big guy he had before.
The three of us immediately went upstairs, and when we walked far away, we could still hear a commotion coming from downstairs, the loudest of which was still Cong Li's group of people.
"You were looking for me just now, is there anything wrong?" I asked Meng Jiang.
"Actually, I just wanted to discuss with you about finding a guide." Meng Jiang said, "We need to get things done in the shortest possible time now, but we happen to be not very familiar with Longxi, so it is inconvenient to act." ”
"Well," I nodded, "that's ...... But the people below aren't necessarily the right people, right? How do I think they are a bit like bandits! ”
Meng Jiang didn't want me, turned to Sang Qing and asked, "What does Qingmei think?" ”
Qingmei...... It's only been a day, and even the name has changed...... O woman! I secretly wiped my sweat.
Looking at Sang Qing's guarded appearance just now, I thought she would pout at this time and say that those people are annoying, but I didn't expect her to groan slightly, but nodded and said, "I also think they are suitable." ”
"Ah, why?" I cried out in disbelief.
Meng Jiang took two steps in the direction of the railing on the side of the corridor, and from this angle, he could just see the location where Cong Li had gathered, but because the lights were dim upstairs, they should not be able to see us from the bright spot.
And I clearly saw that Cong Liqi had receded from the focus of people's attention, and was still sitting quietly to the side as I had when I first saw him, with a calm face, not talking much, but also blending well into the crowd.
This person has a double personality!
"What do you think these people do?" Meng Jiang suddenly asked from the side.
This turned me upside down, and although I had been trying to observe, I really didn't see anything particularly professional about them. From the image point of view, at first I thought they were porters and the like, but looking at the hands of these people, there were no scars and calluses at the root of the porter's four fingers that were strangled by the rope because of the long-term hand-to-shoulder carrying, especially this clump of trouble, although the face was tanned, but a pair of hands were surprisingly delicate and fair, just looking at the hands, you would think that he was a scholar.
But if they are businessmen who don't do menial work, they lack the shrewdness and sleekness that businessmen are used to bringing, especially when I ask them about their trade, if they are in business, they should take advantage of the situation, but they show great disgust, which is absolutely abnormal!
A group of men who are similarly dressed, have a rough image, and do not have a trace of bookishness get together, but they are not pawns of traffickers, are they the dart masters in the dart game, or some gang members in the rivers and lakes who eat and kill? Soon, I ruled out this possibility, because they didn't have any weapons with them. Even if some people's weapons are delicate toys, but these dozen people don't even bring an ordinary sword, that's too coincidental!
"Hmm......" I hesitated, and finally simply said, "I don't see it." "There are a lot of things I don't know, but this time I have to admit it very reasonably, the reason is very simple, because this matter is obviously something that even Mo Yan doesn't know, isn't it quite normal that I don't know!
"What does Qingmei think?" Meng Jiang saw that I was so frank, so he went to ask Sang Qing.
Sang Qing also shook his head and said, "I don't know." But then he said, "But the name Cong Li, I seem to have heard it somewhere......"
"Well, that's why I decided to ask them to be my guide." Meng Jiang said, "I suspect they have a lot to do with a special profession. ”
"A special trade?" I think it's weird.
"People used to call them thieves who took money from the dead, but they themselves gave themselves a name, 'Ghost Town'." Meng Jiang said.
"What does that mean? Could it be that they are tomb robbers? "I didn't understand it for a while.
"I don't know if I rob the tomb or not, but whenever there is a war, there will inevitably be these people around."
I was stunned, but I immediately understood. It turns out that the money of the dead made by these people was not after the burial, but before the burial! Dare to love them to go to the battlefield to turn over the dead and make war money! If that's the case, it's a very special job!
"Among these people," before I was surprised, Meng Jiang said, "There is a group of people who are very famous, and they are called: 'Leaving the Town Ghosts'." (To be continued.) )
