Chapter 249: The Jianghu Man Who Wants Money and Doesn't Want His Life (3)
As time went on, a few more groups of customers entered Liunaixi, and the store gradually became noisy and lively.
"I'm asleep? I'm sorry, what time is it?" asked Lian Chengbi waking up, rubbing his eyes.
I knew she had woken up early, but I didn't reveal it, and replied softly, "Half past four." ”
The food next to it was already cold, so I immediately called the waiter to come over and help heat up the food.
Lian Chengbi didn't look at Zhang Yun and Sun Huazi sitting in front of the window, but looked out the door silently.
There are no neon signs on the exterior walls of the church, so the minaret and eaves are dull, and compared to the tall and low buildings nearby, they are slightly old and lonely.
"Time flies so fast, time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, day by day, but we have made no progress, really-" Lian Chengbi shook his head slightly.
I didn't want to get other people's attention, I just buried my head in the water and didn't open my mouth.
The meal came and we started eating.
"Leave in ten minutes. Lian Chengbi said.
In this arrangement, it is natural to leave before the foreman surnamed Wan arrives, so as not to startle the snake.
Lian Chengbi didn't eat much, chewing slowly with every bite.
"Have fun, huh?" I gently touched her elbow.
"I'm happy, don't you see?" she smiled wryly.
I smiled: "Your expression now looks like you have just eaten several bitter gourds, saying that you are happy, and I don't believe you to kill you." ”
At the moment, I knew that she was worried and worried, but I still tried to make her happy, so as not to be too serious and hurt her liver and lungs.
In less than ten minutes, we put down our chopsticks and checked out the door.
"Did you hear that?" I asked.
Lian Chengbi nodded: "Yes, not a word has been left behind." ”
I looked around and pointed across the road to the second floor of Uejima Café: "Let's go sit there." ”
The store is located in the middle of the line connecting the church and the Rokunoki address, a little to the west, so you can observe the situation of the two locations.
"Listen to you. Lian Chengbi smiled.
The two of us crossed the street holding hands, and although we didn't look back, I knew that Zhang Yun and Sun Huazi, who were by the window, would definitely see our backs.
In the evening, Hongjialou is full of traffic, neon flashing, and it becomes prosperous and lively.
I led Lianchengbi into the café, went straight to the second floor, and found a seat in the southeast corner of the lobby. There are floor-to-ceiling glass windows on both sides of the east and south sides, and the view is very clear.
Until now, I can't believe that Zhang Yun, Sun Huazi, and the surname Wan dare to fight the old way of transporting troops. You know, they are unarmed civilians, once they are involved in the disputes in the rivers and lakes, it is equivalent to riding a motorcycle to hit a big truck - meat and iron to iron and meat, how can there be a life?
I have to admit that those three people are crazy.
"Everybody looks at a map, and when you measure it with a ruler and calculate it, you know everything. Therefore, those who treat others as fools are really stupid and stupid, and they are blind to his dog's eyes. My grandfather entered the tomb robbery industry at the age of thirteen and was one of the top ten one-legged thieves on the Shaanxi-Gansu Road. My dad started his career at the age of 10 and has been immersed in tomb robbing all the time. In many places, he only needs to walk through them empty-handed, and he can guess whether there are treasures hidden in the ground. That Master Wan wants to get us, but he really can't do it. We don't expose him, just so that they can explore the way as meat buns first. Lian Chengbi said.
She said very reasonably, because military maps are not a sophisticated technology, as long as you understand the scale, and then know the drawing principle of "up the north, down the south, left west, right east", then you can see it clearly.
"Originally, there was such a blind fool in the world, who felt that he was smarter than anyone else, and he went all the way to the dark, and he didn't know that he was stupid until he died. I just think that Jinan City is a treasure land of feng shui, and if there is no big group of folklore experts from the righteous point to take the lead, any action to save culture will be in vain. "I'm a little depressed.
Good words can't persuade damn ghosts, and if those three are willing to gamble with their lives, we can't help it.
"It's out. "I sat to the north, and out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a figure flashing at the door of the church, and it was the foreman surnamed Wan.
Now, he had changed out of his overalls, put on a jacket and jeans, and trotted excitedly through the street trees at the edge of the square, then dodged left and right in the traffic and went straight to the Rokunoki restaurant.
"The grasshoppers after the autumn can't jump a few times. I sighed.
"You can't bear to see him die?" asked Lian Chengbi.
I shook my head: "I don't want to block other people's financial paths, there is a saying in old Jinan that blocking other people's financial roads is equivalent to killing parents." ”
There are a mixture of fish and dragons in the city of Jinan, including the chivalrous woman who walks through the streets and alleys, regardless of returns, and solves problems for the people, as well as Sun Huazi, a scoundrel who kicks the widow's door and digs up the grave of the household.
For the latter, the law is useless, it is equivalent to anti-aircraft guns fighting mosquitoes - overkill.
Therefore, these people, who make the people hate them so much, can only wait for God's punishment and let God clean them up.
"Oh, those two people in the hall are out. Lian Chengbi sat south and saw the situation in the restaurant clearly.
I shifted my seat slightly and looked at the door of the Rokunoki Restaurant.
The three of them were shaking hands and greeting each other, then walked east together and entered a restaurant.
At this point, we can't observe their actions.
"There's something funny, do you want to hear it?" asked Lian Chengbi.
I nodded, "Please, I want to hear it." ”
She coughed lightly and whispered with a smile: "This story is related to the old underground military transport road of the old government, but it is bizarre and absurd, almost made up. Well, it is said that after the old government regained control of the city of Jinan, it spent a lot of money to build underground troop transportation roads to defend against enemy shelling and bombardment. As a result, the officials in charge of building the road found that the city of Jinan was actually full of holes, and there was no need to dig them. However, this person was very clever and did not report to his superiors in time, but adopted various means of fabricating false accounts, fabricating the amount of work, and fabricating various material expenditures, and expropriated 30,000 yuan in six months, and did not delay the construction period stipulated by the superiors. ”
There are smart people in the world, and the opportunistic technology is seamless, so some people will start from scratch and become rich, while others will achieve nothing and be mediocre until they are old.
In the era of the old government, there were huge financial loopholes, and the "fat shortage" of various government departments emerged in an endless stream, so various methods of "buying and selling officials" in the officialdom were born, which were not inferior to the late Ming and late Qing government eras.
"And then?" I asked.
Later, the man discovered that all the holes in the ground had their origins, and all of them came from the claws of a beast. By the time he found out, it was too late, and the beast had already appeared, turning him into a meal. Lian Chengbi replied.
I laughed: "This story is a bit too extreme, isn't it? If you can be an official in the old government, your IQ must not be bad, how can you die until the end of your life?"
Lian Chengbi nodded: "Yes, as soon as I heard this story, I thought, why are the Shandong people so wooden? Knowing that there is something underground, they have been hiding it until it finally causes a catastrophe." In our Shaanxi province, the same situation has occurred, when secret passages and traces of large animal crawls were found in the ancient city of Xi'an, which extended to the suburbs. The ruler of the time, fearing that there would be a rebellion, ordered all the people to work together to burn the monster's lair to the ground, then plant trees on it, and build a tower of the dead to suppress the monster......"
I have the impression of this, the news said that at that time, the old government dispatched a large number of military police officers, the secret passage was completely destroyed, and the footprints of the animal led all the way to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. Therefore, the special forces attacked in advance, and there were helicopters in the air to assist, and the perfect joint operation, in the end, everyone was happy to receive awards for meritorious service. Unfortunately, no one saw the monster with their own eyes, and there were only a few vague traces of it in the newspapers.
The most terrifying thing is that people like Sun Huazi, Zhang Yun, and surnamed Wan, the ignorant are fearless, they don't know what they are about to face, and they only have gold and treasures in their hearts.
"My grandfather took part in the hunt for the monster in Xi'an City, and according to his reasoning, it did exist. Xi'an is an ancient city, the former residence of the royal family, and it is not uncommon to have that kind of thing underground. It is said that in Beijing and Hangzhou, in order not to cause panic among the people, the old government suppressed the news and strictly forbade the media to leak it. Everything is divided into two, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and disasters and joys follow each other. Where there are monsters, there must be great treasures. Lian Chengbi said.
I nodded, the medicine farmers who collected the medicine all knew that the place where the peerless fairy grass grows must be guarded by a highly poisonous snake, which is the truth of "one blessing and one disaster" in nature. If you are lucky enough to destroy the big snake, you can get the fairy grass that prolongs life and is invulnerable to all diseases. On the contrary, if you want to get fairy grass, you must first lose your life.
If there is a treasure in the mirror room and a treasure in the old troop transport tunnel, then it is not surprising that there are monsters nearby.
"They're good bait. I lowered my right hand and pointed quickly to the south.
When the three of them enter the restaurant, they will definitely find a private room facing the church to drink and eat, and they should be able to see the situation here. Therefore, Lian Chengbi and I must not be careless, lest we become white rabbits exposed to the enemy's guns.
"Yes, before the tomb robbers enter the tomb, they always use a cage with white pigeons, rabbits, and puppies to settle down. Now, in the face of the complicated situation under Jinan City, how can we do it without exploring the way?" Lian Chengbi laughed.
She is worthy of being a descendant of a family of tomb robbers, and the words she says and the way she does things are all related to tomb robbing.
Now, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and the three of them are waiting for the three of them to come out and sneak into the church after eating.
I beckoned the waiter to come over, ordered two cups of coffee and two pieces of tiger skin cake, and prepared to endure the battle for a long time.
Lian Chengbi took out his mobile phone, and I suddenly remembered one thing: "By the way, in the afternoon, your mobile phone vibrate, but you didn't wake up." ”
She looked at her phone and suddenly perked up: "Okay, that's good news! My hacker friend has captured the main server of the Yangtze River and got the materials I want." ”
That's good news for her, but not necessarily good for me as a bystander.
"I sent him the address, and in an hour, he came to see us. "Liancheng Bi was overjoyed.
"Shall I avoid it?" I asked.
Lian Chengbi smiled while texting: "That's not necessary, now we are comrades in the same trench, and any clues can be shared, regardless of each other." ”
This time, she smiled beautifully.
I turned to the floor-to-ceiling window to observe her silhouette from the windowpane. The exhaustion of the afternoon had been swept away, and after a short nap, she was re-energized and energetic.
The crystal lamp on the roof of the café illuminates her, making her smile like a flower and shine brightly.
If she is not from the rivers and lakes, she should have a very bright future, or she can be like those stars, choose left and right, find a lover to marry, and then have children and live a worry-free life.
On the contrary, now she has become the main general of the Qin King Society, blocking and killing in the west, running in all directions, and being accompanied by danger all day long.
"What are you looking at, so fascinated by it?" asked Lian Chengbi, who finished texting, put his phone on the table, and glanced at me.
"I'm looking at the night view of Hongjialou. I said.
When I was in high school, I worked part-time during the holidays and wholesaled socks, gloves, insoles and other small things at the Zhongheng Small Commodities Market to set up a stall in the Hongjialou Night Market. The night market is located in front of Kamishima Coffee, which runs from west to east, along the street, and is a full kilometer long.
At that time, I was young, full of confusion about the future, and only the unyielding and stubbornness of young people remained in my bones. Being young is the capital, but it is also the least valuable capital. Therefore, today and yesterday are like clouds.
"You're watching the view upstairs, and the people watching the view are watching you downstairs. Lian Chengbi laughed.
I was infected by her and smiled.
"I've found that as long as the two of us are together, life becomes more and more flavorful. She said.
This sentence made me very sad, because the war is imminent, the general will die in a hundred battles, and the strong man will return in ten years - no one can survive a thousand battles, there is no luck in the war, only a hard-fought and knife-to-knife fight. Since ancient times, famous generals have been like clouds, and the victorious generals are only Zhao Yun, a white horse and silver spear in the Three Kingdoms. In addition to Changshan Zhao Zilong, there is no second one in history.
Therefore, until the end of the battle, everyone should not talk about feelings, and they should not love each other.
"Celestial Stone. "Liancheng Bi screamed.
This kind of name made me unconsciously in a trance, because there was another girl who also called me affectionately - Tang Wan, Tang Wan who has been trapped in the mirror room so far.
"We will have a great future. Lian Chengbi continued, "As the head of the Seven Kings Society, King Qin is familiar with the situation in the rivers and lakes, and in time, he can change the overall pattern and become an epoch-making group. You and I are both entrepreneurial heroes, and there will be two of us in the high position in the future of the rivers and lakes. After the incident, he brushed his body away, and hid his merit and fame. When the time comes, we can retire to the rivers and lakes, like the condor heroes of the ancient tomb sect in the past, live in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, ignore the mundane affairs of the rivers and lakes, drink and read books every day, farm, fish and hunt, and wait for our cultivation to become immortals, wouldn't it be happy?"
She thought it was indeed beautiful, but she ignored the fact that the former Condor Heroes had endured thousands of painful tortures before they lived in seclusion. If you can't survive any of them, then there will be no more factions of "the foot of the South Mountain, the tomb of the living dead".
"After the war, it's always good to have dreams. I replied nonchalantly.
Lianchengbi is a fire, and I can't add fuel to the fire, but I should take a salary from the bottom of the kettle and let her calm down completely.
"What if I have to talk?"
"Why?" I asked.
Lian Chengbi groaned for a while, and immediately replied: "Because I know that there is another girl hidden in your heart." Now, the girl in the wheelchair has disappeared into the mirror room, and I'm not sure what happened to her, so I can only guess at worst. ”
