Chapter 101: Walking the streets
It wasn't until Li Xiaomu and the others didn't enter the street that Luo Shu'er reacted, she just wanted to scream, but was pressed by Tao Tao again, "Just let him go, it's better to have no heart and no lungs than to drill the horns...... At least we can see that he won't dwell on that matter anymore and get into trouble everywhere......"
......
The big head's heart was uneasy, and he kept following Li Xiaomu closely, Li Xiaomu didn't walk very fast, wandering around, it seemed that he was really watching the scenery and watching the excitement, but there was less excitement and excitement on his face. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Pang Shan City" is quite large, the two of them only walked through half of the market and spent most of the hour, the big head was feeling stuffy and unbearable, but found that Li Xiaomu suddenly stopped, it turned out that they had returned to the city gate, and what Li Xiaomu was staring at was the city wall that was covered with "reward notices".
The big head didn't know what Li Xiaomu wanted to do, so he could only accompany him in a daze.
A few more groups of people unveiled the notice, and received the reward with joyful faces, and most of the onlookers were envious, and while they were talking, two officials broke through the crowd and squeezed in, holding a few rolls of new paper in their hands, and while pasting them on the wall, they shouted loudly: "Let it go, let it go!" Don't look at the excitement, there is so much spare time, it is better to grab these miscellaneous pieces, and earn two more rewards!" After a while, a new notice was pasted on the empty space on the wall, and the pen and ink were not dry, and it was evident that it had not been long after the painting was made.
"Arrest the 'Huangyuan Gang' water robbers, reward silver ......"
"There are several monsters in the north of the city one hundred and eighty miles, and those who slaughter them will be rewarded with gold......"
The two officials squeezed out again, muttering non-stop, and strode in the direction of the west of the city, Li Xiaomu's eyes never left them, and turned to follow.
The big head was very curious, walked a few steps quickly, and as soon as he caught up with Li Xiaomu, he heard the two guys in front of him complain-
"Grandma's, the shoes are worn out and leaked eight pairs, and if it goes on like this, Lao Tzu would rather quit his job and return to his hometown to farm!"
"Okay, brothers, which one is not like this! Bandits are crowded, strongmen are rampant, I heard that there are many monsters and beasts outside the city, and there is a huge 'mountain city', just one hundred and eighty of our servants, how can we be busy without running and breaking our legs? Fortunately, I heard that the city lord has sent his own guards, and we can finally breathe a sigh of relief. ”
"It's really weird, it was so good a few days ago, why did it suddenly make so much trouble! ”
"Alas, don't complain, hurry up and work, I hope that before his old man's birthday, those mongrels can be eliminated, and the adults can be relieved......"
The two of them were talking, turned into a side street, went around three times and two times, and entered a house, with rice paper scrolls hanging on the stall in front of the door, with words and paintings, it seemed to be a literary and ink shop.
In just a moment of incense, the two officials came out, with a few more notices in their hands, and hurriedly walked towards the city gate.
As soon as the big head followed up, he smelled a thick stench, and he wondered why the master who "taught reading" called it Moxiang, and was covering his nose, when he saw Li Xiaomu already standing in front of a bookcase in the house, and opposite were two people, one with gray hair, high buns, and wearing gray and white clothes, and the other was about 20 years old, with patches on his clothes, rough skin, and a vegetable color.
"I bought calligraphy and paintings and went to the outside of the file, and I chose to come in and pay the bill. The old man sat by the bookcase, without raising his head, a pen wandered the dragon and snake, and the outline of a human face appeared on the yellow paper on the table, he paused, "Disciple, continue reading." ”
The young man had been secretly looking at Li Xiaomu and the others, listening to what the master said, and hurriedly lowered his head, while inking ink, while looking at a piece of paper at hand: "The eyebrows are two inches, the copper bell hangs the eyes, there is a black mole under the left cheek, and the upper edge ......of the right auricle is mutilated."
The young man read quickly, the old man drew faster, and as soon as the voice fell, a lifelike portrait had been completed, and his eyebrows were vivid and lifelike.
The old man put the drawn notice aside, dipped it in ink, "Okay, next ......" Speaking of this, he remembered that there was still a person standing on the other side of the table, still did not look up, and said impatiently: "Please ...... to buy calligraphy and paintings"
"I want you to draw something. Li Xiaomu interrupted.
"Forgive me, the guest officer, the bandits are rampant, the painters of the government are too busy, the store is being employed by the lord of the city, and I am afraid that there is no time to ...... at the moment."
Syllable!
A silver ingot, slammed on the bookcase.
The old man raised his eyebrows, finally raised his head, and looked Li Xiaomu up and down, "Little friend, I underestimate the old man, I am a scholar, and I regard money as -"
Smack!
Two more silver ingots.
"Uh...... ......The old man swallowed violently and pushed the notices aside, "Draw something, you say!"
......
Half a quarter of an hour later, under Li Xiaomu's description, a portrait was quickly formed under the old man's hands, he smiled and shook the paper, "Friend, look-hmm!" The old man was only thinking about those silver ingots just now, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but now he finished painting, and as soon as he picked up the drawing paper, his eyes widened, "This, this is-"
"Who is it?!" Li Xiaomu's eyes flashed.
"Oh, no, it's not who......" the old man became distracted, "I—how could I know each other." ”
Li Xiaomu put another item on the bookcase, this time it was Huang Cancan's gold ingot.
The old man's shoulders trembled, but he still gritted his teeth and shook his head violently, "I—I don't know." ”
Li Xiaomu dragged the package behind the big head and slapped it directly on the table, and the "clanging" inside sounded, I don't know how much gold and silver was contained.
"Ahh
"What are you still rubbing?" Two people walked in quickly outside the door, it was the pair of officials, the old man's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly put away the silver on the table, and the official just walked in, "I said Lao Chai, draw quickly, if you delay the business, the city lord will blame it, and we will not have good fruit to eat!"
The corner of the old man's eyes jumped a few times, and he was already sweating on his forehead, so he hurriedly rolled up the paper he had just drawn and handed it to Li Xiaomu, "Little friend, the old man really has no time to draw mountains and rivers, you can go to another house to take a look...... Apprentice, grind - apprentice, apprentice!" shouted several times before the young man reacted, "Oh, yes, yes!" He moved the inkstone, but his eyes kept secretly looking at the burden on Li Xiaomu's hand.
Li Xiaomu saw that the official messenger had begun to pay attention to himself, so he picked up the picture scroll and walked out, the big man hurriedly followed out, and the attention of the two officials returned to the old man, "Old chai touer, don't worry about your own little money, when you finish this work, are you still afraid that the city lord will treat you badly?" The old man said yes again and again, his hands were a little trembling, but the young man next to him suddenly covered his stomach and shouted, "It hurts", and hurriedly ran out of the door, the second official cha pouted and scolded, "There is a lot of and urine on the lazy donkey! But the young man was nowhere to be seen.
He turned out of the alley, and stood there anxiously looking left and right, but he couldn't see the shadow of the person for a long time.
"Little brother, are you looking for me?"
The young man looked back, and he was happy, and it was Li Xiaomu standing behind him, holding a silver ingot in his hand, pointing to the scroll, "Tell him who he is, and you will benefit more." ”
The young man swallowed forcefully, "Little brother, I, I'm a foreigner, I've just been in the city for less than two months, I really don't know." He saw Li Xiaomu turn around and want to leave, and hurriedly shouted: "However, I think someone should know that I heard about him-"
......
This casino is located in the middle of the main street of "Bangshan City", it is the first noon, the field is rolling dice, pushing pai gow, the sound of peace, the gambling equipment jingling, so lively.
"Double bench!haha, I'm winning again!" laughed a monkey-cheeked guy in the corner of the casino, and the table in front of him was already full of copper coins and scattered silver, he was about thirty years old, with plasters on his forehead, and his mouth full of yellow teeth were uneven, and he laughed, and his mouth was grinning like a sea bowl.
"Again, again—" someone on the other side urged.
"No, no," said the "plaster," said, "the red girl of the 'Pingxiang Building' is still waiting, and she will be here today, and we will fight three lilies again tomorrow!" he said as he pulled the money into his pocket, and then, striding towards the door, turning east and west into a room, seeing that there was no one around, he took out the money bag, counted them one by one, and his face was already full of joy.
"Red Girl...... Pink Girl...... Miss Lan ......"
Just when he was full of excitement, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be someone behind him, and turned his head suddenly, "You, what are you doing?!" When he saw that there were two young guys standing there, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go, go home and feed! Don't get in the way of Lao Tzu here, otherwise I will sell you to the kiln as a ****!"
"It's better than having someone chop off your hand and break your hamstrings. Li Xiaomu said with a smile, blocking the only exit in the backyard.
The "plaster" was still counting the money, but when he heard this, his body suddenly shook, and he raised his head suddenly, "Little rabbit, what do you mean?
"I think the casino manager will be very interested in this. Li Xiaomu said with a smile.
"Plaster" face changed slightly, the other hand secretly touched the waist, but saw the big head step up, bang! A punch slammed into his small stomach, followed by a kick, which was under his crotch, and the "plaster" bent down with an "oops......
Although the big head is not very old, he is strong and strong, and he makes a move, which is what Li Xiaomu taught him during the "first test".
Li Xiaomu grabbed him by the collar and pressed him against the wall, "Are you 'Bao Inquire'?"
"Yes, yes...... Little, the little master spared his life, ......" "plaster" gasped, knowing that the two people in front of him were martial arts cultivators, and he was definitely not an opponent, "Two masters, want, want—"
"I'm going to ask you about someone—" Li Xiaomu's eyes suddenly flashed with cold lightning......
