Chapter 045: One Story, Three Questions
In the lobby of the Yongchang Dart Bureau, there was an inferior smoked fragrance.
The birds kept in the iron cage are chirping and scurrying uneasily.
On the table, a small white smoke rises from the hot tea.
With his hands behind his back, he looked up at the scroll hanging on the wall.
This ink painting, with mountains and forests as the main line, has a good artistic conception.
She stared at a spot on the rockery and was silent for a long time.
There, a hole in the paper was broken.
It looks like it was torn apart artificially.
When she reached out to find out, Lin Jiang's slightly nervous voice sounded from the door.
"Girl! It's your stuff! ”
behind the wall.
There were six people who were lying in ambush there.
They were burly and muscular, wearing dart suits, and their arms were full of brute strength, with bulging green tendons.
Nervous hot sweat rolled down their dark cheeks.
As Lin Jiang walked into the lobby, the sweaty dart masters suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the hearts that had just fallen from their throats in their eyes were mentioned again because of the conversation coming from outside.
"Lin Darttou, you should take off this landscape painting. I had been staring at it for a long time, and I thought someone was staring at me in the painting, but it turned out that there was a black paper hole in it. ”
The muscles under Lin Jiang's sleeves suddenly tensed, and his hoarse laughter revealed stiffness and weakness:
"Haha, let the girl laugh, we darts go south and north, we are all rough people, and we don't know what to appreciate at all. There's something hanging there, so that the walls don't look empty, and that's it. Come, girl, take a look, is this the goods you are dragging us in Haicheng. ”
Lin Jiang held an object wrapped in black satin in both hands and put it on the table.
Givenin walked away from the front of the ink painting and uncovered the black satin.
A brocade box about one meter long and twenty centimeters wide was revealed.
The brocade box was covered with gold silk wood grain, and the whole body was dark red, and it was made of blood dragon wood, which was rare for a hundred years.
At this time, strong sunlight, pouring in through the window, shines on the surface of the box.
In an instant, the brocade box turned into crystal clear like a rhinoceros horn.
Ji Fanyin's fingertips fell on the brocade box, stroked gently, and swept to the side without a trace.
Lin Jiang's face did not show a surprised expression, as if he had already known that when this box encountered strong light, it would produce a phenomenon of light transmission.
Ji Fanyin quietly retracted his gaze, and his white and tender little hands slid down, holding up the golden Nine Dragon Lock.
The lock surface was scraped out of criss-crossing lines, as if it had been tried to break through by people with brute force and tools countless times.
Lin Jiang's pupils tightened, and he quickly turned his head with a weak heart, looking at the incense burner placed on the table.
Wait a minute!
Wait!
Wait a minute.
When the ecstasy smoke is fully working, he ......
Lin Jiang's eyes showed greed like a hungry wolf, and his eyes were dripping, looking at Ji Fanyin's graceful posture from top to bottom.
At this time, Ji Fanyin suddenly turned around, which frightened Lin Jiang and immediately put away the evil thoughts in his eyes.
"Lin Zhutou."
"Huh? Girl, please sit down and drink tea. ”
Lin Jiang raised his hand and invited Ji Fanyin to take a seat, while he walked towards the chair opposite.
Ji Fanyin raised his eyebrows, sat down, and glanced at the hot tea at hand.
A few tea stalks, floating on it, inferior tea powder sinking to the bottom of the tea.
She didn't touch the teacup, looked up at Lin Jiang, and asked straight to the point:
"There are a few small questions, and I hope Lin Darttou can solve my doubts."
Lin Jiang was worried that he couldn't find an opportunity to delay time, and when he heard that Ji Fanyin had something to ask, he immediately smiled happily:
"If you ask, Lin will definitely tell you everything he knows."
Givenin smiled and said:
"I entrusted the noble dart bureau to transport my things to the Buddha Mansion City in the Buddha Holy Country, but for some reason, my things did not appear on time in the Buddha Mansion City."
The smile on Lin Jiang's face suddenly froze, he didn't expect her to be so direct.
He subconsciously turned his head and looked at it again.
The incense is already halfway burned.
"This ......"
He showed an embarrassed expression and sighed:
"Alas, we sent things to the Buddha Mansion City of the Buddha Holy Country, who expected, there was a sudden fire there, the people were not happy, and the party of the Emperor Yan was driven out by the traitors, and the situation was in chaos. We had no choice but to transport things back to Qixia City, originally thinking, when everything is stable, we will set off to the same Buddha holy country, never thought, girl, you yourself came first. Your kick...... Kick it really hard, hahaha, fortunately, our misunderstanding was solved. ”
Ji Fanyin's fingertips tapped the brocade box, raised his eyebrows lightly, and accepted his answer:
"Second question."
Lin Jiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile:
"Girl, please."
"Nine Dragon Lock, Blood Dragon Brocade Box, these two things are already rare in the world. What kind of rare jewel should be locked up by such a rare treasure? Lin Darttou, have you ever had such a question? In other words, haven't you tried to open it and find out? ”
Hot sweat broke out on Lin Jiang's forehead instantly.
Her questions, one sharper than the other.
Lin Jiang grabbed his sleeve, rudely wiped the sweat from his forehead, and replied in a trembling voice:
"I ...... I am the head of the dart, no snooping, no greed, no greed, is the three no-rules of our industry. The girl laughed, how could I have such an idea. ”
"Oh? Is it? Ji Fanyin smiled noncommittally: "Then the third question." ”
Lin Jiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, her eyes widening unconsciously, for fear that she would ask more difficult questions to deal with.
Seeing this, Ji Fanyin showed a soothing smile:
"Lin Darttou, don't be nervous, this question is very simple."
After a pause, her lips opened slightly, and she spit lightly word by word:
"Chixia country, Lincheng County, there is a farmer, surnamed Le, the old man Le is old and has a daughter, when he is over fifty, his mother-in-law finally gave birth to a girl. The girl's name is Lexi, and the hope of Xi is a very cute girl. ”
Hearing this, Lin Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"Oh? That's a good thing. What did the girl want to ask? ”
Ji Fanyin knocked on the wooden box, paused slightly, and smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes:
"Lin Darttou, don't worry."
"Urgent? Hahaha, I'm not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, you speak, you continue. ”
"Knock knock—"
The sound of knocking on the wooden box is not hurried or slow, and the sound is crisp.
Givenin continues:
"That day, it was snowing heavily and I was so hungry that I passed out at her doorstep. Lexi ran out, dragged me into her house, lit firewood, and fed me a bowl of hot soup. When I left, she was ten years old and I was eight years old. After a year, I went again, and all that was left was ruins. ”
Her clear eyes looked at Lin Jiang quietly, and there was no smile in her eyes, and she became extremely cold.
"I asked her neighbors where their family had moved, and they closed the door like a plague god. I knocked on the door one by one, asked one by one, and finally, one of them stood up. They told me that not long ago, a group of people passed there. ”
"On that day, it was also snowing heavily, and they broke into the farmer's house and tore Le Xi's clothes, one by one, and one after the other, lying on top of her. The man said that Lexi screamed for a night. The next day, a fire burned out there. ”
Lin Jiang's expression began to change.
The corners of Givenin's lips rose, revealing a smile:
"The village is still there, but there is only one family left in the whole village. Lin Darthead, what a coincidence, I remember that there are seven people in your dart game, right? ”
Lin Jiang's breathing began to become rapid, his facial muscles tightened, and his iron fists were clenched tightly, but he sat motionless, as if waiting for something.
Suddenly, Ji Fanyin's face changed, his hand pressed on the arm of the chair, and he was in a hurry to stand up, but his body fell back into the chair weakly.
The incense is finally working.
Lin Jiang laughed triumphantly and walked towards Ji Fanyin.
