Chapter 40: The Game
Chen Tangxiu rushed to Jingjun non-stop, flew into the capital, and as soon as he arrived in the capital, he asked people about the white-haired old man, and he really asked Chen Tangxiu to meet a beggar who claimed to have seen the old man he said. It's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!
"Tell me, where do you see where he went?" Chen Tangxiu looked at him hopefully.
He glanced at Chen Tangxiu, although he was a scholar, but this scholar was also divided into poor and rich Confucian, he had reason to believe that this young man in a wide robe and brocade clothes hanging from his waist was a rich child, and his eyes became greedy.
"Hey, what do you think I've done, where have I gone? Chen Tangxiu hurriedly urged.
It's just that the more anxious Chen Tangxiu is, the more excited the beggar begs, because he can ask for more money in that way, so he collapsed his chest and said: "Hey, I just saw him on the road, and I can't remember where I met him for a while." ”
"Then you want to!"
The beggar looked bitter, "Childe, you said it so lightly. I heard that you also have a Beijing accent, don't you know how many people come and go in our capital every day, how can I remember it so quickly. ”
Chen Tangxiu was stunned for a moment, immediately nodded in agreement, and patted him on the shoulder proudly, "Brother Tai is right, then you think slowly, I'll wait for you." After that, he looked at the beggar with a serious look, but he was really empathetic and waiting.
But the beggar has a word of suffering, why is this man so ignorant of the world!
Okay, just a showdown.
"Hey, Childe, thinking is also to be full, you see me like this, I've been hungry for days, how can I come up with it!" The beggar was disgusted, and he became more and more depressed, but it really looked like he had not eaten or eaten for many days.
Chen Tangxiu felt guilty, and hurriedly pulled the beggar and said that he wanted to invite him to dinner, thinking while eating.
The beggar is depressed, where can he not have enough to eat when he begs for food in the capital? Isn't he trying to ask for more money? But how can this person be unreasonable, and he is not afraid of trouble and invites himself to dinner?
But--you're not afraid of trouble, I'm still delaying my money!
After several excuses, Chen Tangxiu couldn't resist him, only saying that his life was hard, and he struggled, and finally made up his mind to eat him in the dark, so he stood unceremoniously in front of the door of the first tavern in the capital, Huanglong Restaurant.
I was about to go in, but suddenly I found that the person behind me was gone. looked around, and saw Chen Tangxiu embarrassed and didn't dare to approach the street.
The beggar thought that he was afraid of expensive, and his heart was also worried, it is said that the Phoenix Dragon Restaurant lives in a day to sell thousands of gold, is he a little excessive?
But the words have been spoken, the people have come to this, and there is no reason for him to retreat. If he doesn't want to, he just goes back and begs.
After making up his mind, the beggar shouted loudly: "Childe, what are you rubbing, if you don't come, I'll leave!"
His voice frightened Chen Tangxiu, and he was almost about to wipe the soles of his feet with oil. What kind of place is the Huanglong Restaurant? That is the place of his master's wife! From the shopkeeper to the little servant, no one knows him; although he likes to be lively and often comes here on weekdays, but at the moment he is still a "guilty body" who has run away from home, so how can he hit the muzzle of the gun?
But it's too late to slip away, because the name of Xue Ping, the wind-watching monkey standing in the stands in front of the Phoenix Dragon Restaurant, is not called for nothing. The beggar had already attracted his attention as soon as he lowered his throat, and following the beggar's gaze, he recognized the scholar's identity at a glance.
"Huh!
Chen Tangxiu, who had just turned around and was about to run, was so excited by this loud call that he turned around like a mechanical sluggishness, a little frustrated, and gritted his teeth and scolded Xue Ping's whole family in his heart.
Xue Ping didn't know it, so he enthusiastically ran off the stage and ran to Chen Tangxiu, and made a gesture with a smile, "Gongzi Xiu, don't come to harm." ”
Chen Tangxiu's face was dark, and he was about to say "You can kill me", but when he looked up, he saw where the beggar stood in front of the Phoenix Dragon Restaurant - where was the shadow of the beggar!
"Ah!" Chen Tangxiu exclaimed, Xue Ping was startled, "Childe, what's wrong?"
"Ahhhh
He stood in front of the Phoenix Dragon Restaurant in disappointment and beat his chest, Xue Ping followed for some reason, "Childe, who is your lucky star? That beggar? How can you know such a person......
Just as he was annoyed, when he heard Xue Ping's cannonball-like questions, he suddenly remembered the culprit of the whole thing, and immediately changed his face, glaring at Xue Ping with a pair of angry eyes, "Yes, yes! How could I know you! You really want to kill me!"
Xue Ping was dazed when he heard this, but what scolded him was Gongzi Xiu, who even dared to disobey the emperor, and he couldn't help but follow his hair if he was wrong, so he immediately lowered his eyebrows and said yes again and again.
Chen Tangxiu traveled day and night for several days, but in exchange for the depression of the bamboo basket fetching water, he wanted to get angry, but he happened to meet Xue Ping, who was good at observing words and feelings, and knew how to protect himself.
"Hey, Gongzi Xiu, didn't you run away from home, what, are you back?" a little guy came out to greet Chen Tangxiu and came up to greet him with a smile.
It was too late for Xue Ping to stop him, only to see Chen Tangxiu, who was angry, shouting, "What's the matter with you! Damn Xue Ping, if I can't find that old man, I have to beat you up!"
While speaking, Chen Tangxiu's anger still fell on Xue Ping.
Xue Ping shouted grievances in his heart, just because he didn't know why, what he was talking about was Xue Ping's current mood. What is your son's dissatisfaction, you can say it clearly, why did you come up and split your head and cover your face?
Wait, old man?
"What old man? What old man is Childe looking for?" Xue Ping asked excitedly as if grasping at a life-saving straw. He didn't want to be beaten, the top priority was to use Chen Tangxiu's words to help him solve the problem.
Chen Tangxiu saw that his eyes lit up, and suddenly remembered that it was not his master and wife who had the most extensive news in the capital? This wind monkey had a very important position in his wife's heart, and asking him about the affairs of the capital would definitely get twice the result with half the effort!
Thinking of this, Chen Tangxiu's angry face instantly grinned a bright smile, "Eh, mediocre!"
As he spoke, Chen Tangxiu's slender arm grabbed Xue Ping's shoulder, which made Xue Ping feel a chill and a startle, what kind of routine is this?
"En. Son. Xue Ping lowered his eyebrows and nodded vigorously.
Chen Tangxiu became more and more tired, "Eh, what kind of son is not a son, our brothers have this friendship, you, call me Brother Xiu directly, hey, you seem to be older than me, right? Forget it, be your brother...... Haha, take advantage of you. ”
Xue Ping was taken aback, and immediately shook his head like a rattle, and smiled, "No, no, no, you are a son, I am a little guy, how dare you call your son a brother, I really lift Xue Ping." ”
"Hey, what's the matter! I said you're my brother, you're my brother!" Chen Tang straightened his face, and Xue Ping screamed bitterly, so he had to bite the bullet and keep silent as a tacit acquiescence.
Chen Tangxiu smiled, took him and walked to the alley, his eyes were shocked, and he wanted to say that he still had to look at the store, but as soon as he turned his face, the little guys in front of the store smiled sympathetically at him, patted his chest and promised that they would never be lazy, so you can go with confidence.
Xue Ping had to complain about this group of people in his heart, and then obediently followed Chen Tangxiu's pull and walked in the bustling city.
"Since it's a brother, how about being a brother's entrusting you with something?" Chen Tangxiu said tentatively.
Xue Ping smiled bitterly, "Childe said that's it, Xue Ping can do it, naturally do it." ”
Chen Tangxiu glanced at him and hesitated slightly, but he really had no way to find an old man from the capital of so many people, so he had to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, and said, "I want you to go to my master and ask him to find someone for you." ”
"Huh?" Xue Ping cried out in embarrassment. What is his identity? How dare he ask his boss to do things for him?
"What, I just said that I was a brother, but I just asked you to find someone so unhappy?" Chen Tangxiu pretended to be angry.
Xue Ping cried out again and again in his heart, I didn't say that I wanted to call you a brother and a brother from beginning to end!
"No, no...... It's just," Xue Ping frowned, "Lord Huanglong, he is an adult, I am working, how can I ......"
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, just ask you, can you help?!" Chen Tangxiu planned to take Xue Ping with a strong hand.
Sure enough, Xue Ping couldn't withstand such pressure, and immediately succumbed to Chen Tangxiu's obscenity, and shouted, "Eh, help help!" Immediately, he was afraid that Chen Tangxiu would have a seizure, and his tone was weak, "But you have to tell me who you want to find." ”
Chen Tangxiu grinned, "Well, good brother." As for me, it's not a big person to ask you to find, just an ordinary old man, his martial arts are not very good, he is old, he is holding a black cane, and he is a dragon head. You just tell your wife to send someone around to look for him, and tell me his whereabouts, and don't alarm him. ”
When Xue Ping heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Hey, you said it earlier, you still need Lord Huanglong, I know where the person you are looking for is." ”
Chen Tangxiu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Oh, you know, tell me." It's amazing, it's worthy of being a lookout monkey. ”
Xue Ping just rolled his eyes at Chen Tangxiu's praise, "Which one is my awesomeness, you can ask any one of the people who have lived in the capital recently, and they all know where the old man you are looking for is." ”
"What?" Chen Tangxiu was shocked and angry. No wonder the first person he asked when he entered Beijing said that he knew the whereabouts of the old man, and it turned out that everyone in Beijing knew about it!
Xue Ping stretched out his hands helplessly, "It seems that you have just returned to Beijing, and you don't even know such an earth-shattering thing." ”
Chen Tangxiu was stunned and asked curiously, "What is it?"
Xue Ping looked at him strangely, for a long time, and then spit out: "Just the old man you are looking for, he finished the endgame left by the immortals twenty years ago in the game pavilion. ”
"What? That's a game that my master couldn't break!"
