Chapter 240: Don't Tell You
The stall market is still bustling, and all kinds of lower-class citizens have taken root here strongly and thrivingly, although they do not have much property, waiting for the day when they will get ahead.
So Qiu Wuyi had been mentally prepared for a long time, once upon a time, he felt that no matter what he saw here, he would not feel strange.
But the illusion was brutally shattered by reality.
Xie Lan, a person who is unlikely to appear here in any case, is in front of him, and he has set up a stall in the market with great care, and has become a "friend" with a teenager like Ali, indeed, with just a pair of eyes, he can't see how much difference in age there is between the two, and it is very likely that they will become friends.
What exactly is the purpose of this old fellow?
Qiu Wuyi quickly recovered his composure from the chaos, took a breath, and walked towards Xie Lan's stall.
Anyway, it's useless to hide the tracks, before this guy, I'm afraid it doesn't make sense to dig a pit and hide it a few hundred meters underground.
But why did he appear in the City of the Holy Son?
After a short time of getting along, coupled with Xie Ning's explanation, now Qiu Wuyi has a deep enough understanding of the old guy Xie Lan, to put it simply, he is sick.
When he was young, Xie Lan was indeed violent, and he would kill people if he didn't match his eyes, which was simple and rude, so he was called a demon by many people, but he himself liked it very much, so it took decades.
After getting older, Xie Lan has developed a dependence on killing, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't kill, but he has long been tired of killing for so many years, so he turned killing into a game. For example, today set a goal, to kill a person in red somewhere, and then set off to wait there, if there is really a person in red passing by, then this person will not escape the doom, if one day has not passed, the next day will change to a new target, and so on.
But in recent years, Xie Lan's spirit has become more and more weird, and his "taste" has become more and more picky, unless there is a target that interests him, but the people he is interested in do not have a fixed standard, so he can't speculate.
Who is Xie Lan eyeing this time?
Young people like Ali abound on the streets, it shouldn't be enough for Xie Lan to make a move, and the people who can become his target should always be different from ordinary people.
Big Brother Tianjiu?
Qiu Wuyi has been forcing himself not to think about this, because this is just a conjecture with no reason and no basis, but the brain can't help but concentrate all the brain cells on the word "Tianjiu".
There were no mirrors here, so Qiu Wuyi couldn't see what his expression was at this moment.
However, he knew that it should not be very good-looking, and it might even be hideous.
If Xie Lan's target was really Tianjiu...... Even if he can't do anything, he will never let him do it.
"What do you buy? It's all handmade, it's cheap. ”
Xie Lan sat cross-legged at the back of the stall, as if she didn't know Qiu Wuyi at all, with a business smile on her face.
"It's been a long time, I can't salute you here, forgive me, what is your old man's idea?"
Qiu Wuyi pretended to pick goods, squatted down in front of the stall, and picked up a pair of chopsticks.
The red chopsticks don't look like a bargain at all, and they are inlaid with 12-petal gold carvings, but the materials are really not precious, and the things on the stalls are roughly the same, such as dishes, all kinds of trinkets, dressing utensils, and even fans and handkerchiefs, all of which attract attention with the word "exquisite".
If these things were all from Xie Lan's hands, imagine that the famous human demon a hundred years ago actually carved ornaments in a serious manner...... It's a little weird.
"What? I'm just a stall businessman, and I don't understand even if you ask about that. ”
Sure enough, Xie Lan's face was not blushing or white, and he also looked innocent, his eyes were a little like hamsters and other small animals, full of innocence.
"Don't do that...... I'll get straight to the point, there are my friends in this city, I don't know who you are targeting, if it's him, I know that I may not be able to do anything, but I definitely can't watch it. ”
Qiu Wuyi suppressed his voice to a very low level, and at this time, even if a person put his ear to the side, he couldn't hear what was said, but Qiu Wuyi believed that this would not be a problem for Xie Lan.
"What! Guest, you want to order so many goods? That's not something that can be made up in a while, let's make a price." ”
Xie Lan's voice suddenly rose several degrees, and he stretched out his sleeve towards Qiu Wuyi, but he actually stretched out his hand, but his hand was hidden in his sleeve.
This kind of thing is commonplace in the market, and it does not attract the attention of others, and in some places there is such a rule, involving a large amount of money, and the buyer and seller do not directly bargain with words on the spot, but communicate with each other with gestures in the sleeve.
"Ahem, the price is easy to say, but the time is very tight. ”
Qiu Wuyi hesitated for a moment, knowing what Xie Lan might have intentions, so he followed his meaning and put his hand into Xie Lan's sleeve, and the hands of the two were also held together.
Just as a little doubt appeared on Qiu Wuyi's face, a wonderful feeling suddenly came from his palm, which immediately lifted Qiu Wuyi's spirits.
It was the stroke of the word, although Xie Lan's palm was close to Qiu Wuyi's hand, but he manipulated the muscles and blood vessels in the palm, and he didn't need his fingers to swipe to write clear strokes.
"Guest, small business, can't afford to supply so many goods. ”
Xie Lan's mouth seemed to be discussing a deal, but the words written in the palm of his hand were completely different.
Those words were written quickly, and Qiu Wuyi had to concentrate to remember every word.
This is, what Xie Lan wrote was, "Boy, you think too much, I'm here, the secondary thing is to stare at a few ill-intentioned guys." ”
As soon as a few words came out, it didn't make Qiu Wuyi feel at ease.
"So busy, what do you do every day?"
Qiu Wuyi turned his mind and asked the question in his heart in a secret way, and outsiders sounded like they were complaining about the transaction.
"Oh, this, it's not easy to make a living, you always have to run around, but you can't just sit at home and make things. ”
Xie Lan's writing was impressive - "I won't tell you".
"Isn't it, so difficult?"
Qiu Wuyi's forehead twitched a few times, and a few black lines appeared.
It is said that when people are old, they are no different from bear children, and I only saw this example with my own eyes today.
"Hee-hee-hee......"
Seeing the expression on Qiu Wuyi's face, Xie Lan burst into a happy smile, as if this was the expression he was waiting for.
However, the black line on Qiu Wuyi's face lasted for a moment, as Xie Lan wrote with his palm again.
"Okay. ”
Discerning the content of these words, Qiu Wuyi nodded slightly, being able to talk about things to this point is probably the limit of Xie Lan.
"A deposit of two gold coins. ”
Xie Lan finished writing, and deftly withdrew his hand and spread it out in front of Qiu Wuyi.
"Hey ......"
Qiu Wuyi's whole body was already weak, and a hundred-year-old human demon like Xie Lan didn't know how many treasures there were around him, but now he was ashamed to reach out and ask for the so-called "deposit", but in fact, there was no commodity transaction at all.
"Don't bargain, it's not easy for us to do a small business. ”
Xie Lan didn't look like a joke at all, and stretched out his palm towards Qiu Wuyi, pretending to look pitiful, as if these two gold coins were related to his net worth and life.
“...... Got it. ”
Qiu Wuyi took out two gold coins that were usually used as change from his pocket, and at this time, Xie Lan's pitiful appearance disappeared, and he solemnly carried the gold coins into his arms, but his movements were completely flawless.
was made to cry and laugh by this series of behaviors, Qiu Wuyi got up and left in front of the stall, and Xie Lan was still waving goodbye energetically, and the depth of his involvement in the play had already made Qiu Wuyi begin to doubt which one Xie Lan was the nature.
And the words that Xie Lan had just written kept lingering in his mind for a moment.
"In this city, at night, there will be some interesting things, if you want to know, go and check it yourself. ”
That's all there is to it. Not to mention the facts, even the clues may not be called.
But Qiu Wuyi had already guessed something, although it was still a little vague.
On the way back, Qiu Wuyi kept thinking about this sentence, and the more he thought about it, the more he had an inexplicable feeling, this feeling was not a bad omen, but just a special strangeness.
"Boss, is the boss there!"
As soon as he stepped into the dormitory door, Qiu Wuyi immediately shouted impatiently, there was no one in the hall, but for convenience, most people's rooms were on the first floor.
"What's the accident? I'm the only one left behind, no one else. ”
In the middle of the sound, Xie Ning's door slowly opened, and an extremely technical powered wheelchair appeared, like this wheelchair, Qiu Wuyi deliberately looked around, and he had never seen a second similar one, which must be a special thing.
"Senpai...... It just so happens that the boss is not there, I just want to ask him carefully what is going on with the organization in the city that clears people's grievances and collects money to kill people. ”
When Qiu Wuyi saw that it was Xie Ning, he suddenly had another thought in his heart.
"What an unexpected concern, I thought I was the only one who cared about this, or did you find any clues that intersected with this organization?"
Xie Ning couldn't hear any surprise or surprise in his tone, as if everything was so plain and logical, and the speed of the wheelchair did not speed up, and he drove slowly in front of Qiu Wuyi, "I saw Xie senior, he set up a stall in a market, and he told me that there were some fun things in the city at night, I think he was referring to these people." Isn't Senior Sister curious, what kind of person will attract his attention?"
Qiu Wuyi has already made up his mind, tonight, no matter what, he will search the whole city.
"It's him...... What can make him care...... Maybe it's going to be fun. ”
A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Xie Ning's cold face, even in broad daylight, it looked too gloomy.
