Carrying the sword into the rivers and lakes Chapter 53 Chasing the Traces
After a punch, the hawker's figure appeared, looking at Lao Li, who was holding his chest and panting, the hawker laughed softly: "Brother Li, my punch, is it still in the eyes of the brothers?" ”
Lao Li's true qi in his chest and abdomen at this time was like turning over the river and the sea, and he was so disordered that he could only keep wheezing, Lao Li gritted his teeth and replied: "Today is my eye, I don't know the master, I admit it." Lao Li still couldn't figure out at the moment, this peddler's martial arts realm was so strong, why Shi Cai hadn't found out the depth of his internal strength.
"You don't have to look like that." The vendor looked at Lao Li's puzzled eyes, and the vendor said with a smile.
Looking at the appearance of Lao Li's crossbow at the end, the peddler put his hands behind his back, paced slowly towards Lao Li, and said as he walked: "Nian didn't attack me when you were at the entrance of the alley, and now I will give you a chance." ”
Lao Li saw that this vendor was unhurried, and he secretly had luck in his chest, hoping to recover more internal strength, but the true qi in his chest and abdomen was disturbed. After a little luck, Lao Li had just recovered from his old injury, and the severe pain caused Lao Li to cough nonstop.
"You walk on the rivers and lakes, you have no fixed place, and you have no ability. It's better to join us, everyone is commensurate with brothers, after this matter is completed, I will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and you will never have to wander the world again. The peddler walked in front of Lao Li, looked at Lao Li who was coughing and said.
The hawker is indeed in the right hand, and he has an appreciation for Lao Li, who has been operating in Liangzhou for many years, and has seen thousands of Jianghu customers. can be like this scar-faced man, his mental kung fu is excellent, and there are only a handful.
The previous man sent someone to come with a handwritten letter with a seal, to gather his own group, if he wanted to protect the brothers in Liangzhou, it would be good to have more help.
If this scar-faced man is willing to join, he may have a chance to get rid of them again, and it is not impossible to even take that thing back.
Although Lao Li had an old wound in his chest, he could only gasp and listen to the hawker's solicitation. As if he had been laughed at by a hawker, he couldn't stop laughing.
The peddler seemed to be irritated by Lao Li's ridicule, his face was a little unbearable, and he said with a cold face: "Are my words so funny? ”
Lao Li caused a violent cough due to wild laughter, calming the burning feeling in his chest, and Lao Li replied to the vendor with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "When Lao Tzu walked the rivers and lakes, you were still a nursing doll. Don't come with me to do this, look at your outfit, it's nothing more than kidnapping and blackmailing, robbing homes and houses. How can I be with you, my skills are not as good as others, I am gone, I want to kill or chop, I am respectful, frown, Lao Tzu is not a good man. ”
The peddler admired the spirit of this scar-faced man at the moment, and saw that Lao Li was unwilling to give in. The peddler's face softened, and he said: "We are also people in the rivers and lakes, we are not people who do evil things, my brother is not willing, I am not reluctant, this is my whereabouts can not be revealed, if you are let go, our whereabouts are leaked, I am sorry for my brothers in Liangzhou, so I want to ask my brother to go to a place to rest for a few days, and wait until I am done, then I will naturally let my brother go." ”
Remembering that Shicai had never hurt the lives of his brothers at the entrance of the alley or when he fought with his others, the peddler still planned to spare Lao Li's life.
Lao Li trembled and carried the firewood knife, and was about to refute, when he saw the peddler's figure flash and come to Lao Li's side. If Lao Li's old injuries have not been resolved, he can fight head-to-head, and he can also entangle with the hawkers.
Now Lao Li has suffered internal injuries and old diseases, so he can only watch the hawker make a move, and even seal his body's fortune true qi big acupoint, and seal his dumb acupoint with a lightning shot.
When those black shadow masked people saw that the scar-faced man had been sealed by their own boss, they stepped forward and tied up Lao Li, and after these people took off their black clothes one after another, revealing the ordinary Baixin clothes inside.
After a while, everyone beckoned a carriage full of vegetables into the alley, and everyone worked together to stuff Lao Li into the carriage transporting vegetables.
Then everyone looked at each other and dispersed, and only two or three men slowly drove out of the alley with the carriage.
Inside the Yuelai Building, in the attic room on the second floor. Xue Hu is the one who roasts the goose on the left and right and roasts the chicken on the right hand, feasting on it. When eating rose, Xue Hu picked up the wine jar, filled the wine cup for Gu Xiao, who was sitting on the side, and shouted: "Little brother Gu, come, Xue will give you a bowl." ”
Although Gu Xiao picked up the wine cup, he was not in the mood to drink at all. I have been looking for a long time before, but I have not found Lao Li's figure. Gu Xiao had no choice but to leave a mark, and with Lin'er and the others, he went to Yuelai Building first.
A table of wine and food in Yuelai Building has been prepared, Lao Li has not yet appeared, and the faint worry in Gu Xiao's heart has become more and more victorious. He found a small servant in front of Yuelai Building to deliver a message on behalf of the guest, gave the little maid a piece of silver, and asked him to go to the inn to see if Lao Li had gone back first.
Holding the wine cup, Gu Xiao stared at the street and thought. Uncle Li has some good wine on weekdays, and he will never disappear for so long for no reason, where did he go? Is it still related to that Liuzhuang? But Liuzhuang has been burned to the ground? And who will it be? With no clue in his heart, Gu Xiao could only frown and think hard.
After half an hour, Xue Hu had already swept the table and shouted for Xiao Er to serve some more wine and food.
Xiao Er entered the private room with a flattering smile, and after listening to Xue Hu's instructions, he was about to go down to prepare the meal, but Gu Xiao, who had been thinking for a long time and had not spoken, caught a glimpse of Xiao Er. After looking at Xiao Er, Gu Xiao's eyes changed slightly, and he called Xiao Er.
"Little brother, how long have you been a shopkeeper in Yuelai Building?" Gu Xiao looked at Xiao Er, with a smile on his face, and asked.
Xiao Er saw that the guest suddenly asked about himself, he was slightly stunned at first, and then smiled again, put the sweat towel on his shoulder skillfully, and bowed back to Gu Xiao: "If you return to the guest officer, since the completion of this Yuelai Building, I have been busy in this store, and there is no one else." ”
When Gu Xiao heard this, he smiled and said, "That is because I recognized the wrong person, you look like a distant relative of mine." Later, because he moved into the city with his family, he cut off contact. ”
Xiao Er smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, the small one has a public face, and many people say that the small one is familiar." If the guest officer has nothing else to do, the little one will go and prepare wine and food for the guest officer. ”
Seeing Gu Xiao nodding, Xiao Er bowed down and exited the private room and walked towards the back kitchen.
After Lin'er saw Xiao Er leave, Gu Xiaojian's eyebrows frowned even tighter, so he hugged the snowy treadmill who was sleeping on his back on his belly on the side in his arms, and comforted Gu Xiao and said: "Don't worry, Uncle Li has been walking in the rivers and lakes for many years, and his martial arts are strong, this is in Liangzhou City, there will be no problem, maybe Uncle Li has returned to the inn." ”
While Lin'er was talking, the messenger trotted all the way into Yuelai Building, his eyes swept around, he saw the name of Ya on the second floor, walked up to the second floor quickly, and knocked on the door of the private room.
"Childe, Miss, I have gone to the inn you mentioned, but I have not found the person you are looking for." Entering the private room, the messenger opened his mouth and said to Gu Xiao.
After sending away the messenger, Gu Xiao seemed to have an idea, and whispered to Lin'er: "If Uncle Li goes first, he will definitely inform me, even if he can't find us, he will wait for me at the inn, and it has been a few hours since we couldn't find him." Gu Xiao said to himself, recalling all the things that happened today in his mind.
finally remembered that it seemed that in front of the old man's stall, he had never seen Uncle Li again. Putting down the wine cup, Gu Xiao said to Lin'er: "This matter is too strange, I have to go to the place where the vegetables are sold in the morning to check." ”
Seeing that Gu Xiao was anxious for Uncle Li, Lin'er's apricot eyes flowed, and then said, "In this case, I will accompany you to take a look." ”
Xue Hu saw that his master was going to go with Gu Xiao, so he hurriedly dropped the wine and meat in his hand, wiped his body with his oily big hand, and went with him.
Lin'er stopped Xue Hu and said, "We can't all go, you go back to the inn first, if Uncle Li comes back, you can go there to find us." ”
How could Xue Hu rest assured that his master was out of his sight, but after thinking about it, with Little Brother Gu by his side, he put his mind at ease, so he hugged his fists and said, "Yes." ”
Gu Xiao stepped forward and whispered a few words to Xue Hu, only to hear Xue Hu nodding again and again, and then reluctantly glanced at the wine and meat on the table, and then went downstairs and walked out of Yuelai Building, looking in the direction of the inn.
Gu Xiao put down a piece of silver, and went downstairs with Lin'er to go in the direction of the vegetable stall of the old man and his wife. Walking to the door, he turned around and glanced at the inn, then withdrew his gaze.
Seeing Gu Xiao's strange behavior, Lin'er asked softly, "Gu Xiao, what's wrong with you?" ”
Gu Xiao opened his mouth and said, "It's okay, let's talk while walking." ”
Gu Xiao and Lin'er walked side by side in the direction of the vegetable stall, and between the two of them, a carriage passed by the two. Gu Xiao stood up, looked back at the carriage, and saw that the carriage was full of dishes, and it was stopping in front of the Yuelai Building, and a few people in the car shouted for everyone in the store to come and carry the dishes.
After looking at it for a long time, Gu Xiao retracted his gaze, but Lin'er, who was accompanying him, was confused by Gu Xiao's strange behavior one after another. Lin'er stepped on the snow in her arms as if she was awakened by the cold outside the store, and opened her dark eyes to look around. Seeing Gu Xiao beside him, he hurriedly broke free from Lin'er's arms, followed Gu Xiao's big cloud, and slipped into the big cloud, leaving only his triangular head to stare outside.
Calming the snow with his hand, Gu Xiao withdrew his gaze from the carriage, and then rushed to the vegetable stall with Lin'er. After a while, the two arrived at the place where Lin'er listened to the story told by the old woman who sold vegetables.
Even though it's getting late, it's still full of people.
Seeing that Gu Xiao was in a hurry, Lin'er ripped off the exquisite mandarin duck pendant on her waist and said to Gu Xiao: "Let's go separately, if we find Uncle Li's whereabouts..."
"No, I already vaguely feel that something is wrong, do you remember what I asked the second child in the Yuelai Building?" Gu Xiao interrupted Lin'er softly.
"Didn't you say he looked like your distant relative?" Lin'er didn't know what kind of medicine Gu Xiao was selling in the gourd.
Gu Xiao pulled Lin'er to the side of the street and said in a low voice: "The foot shop outside the city, when you and I first met, the old shopkeeper once told me about it, this little second in Yuelailou once offended Liu Yi because of his mistake, and Liu Yi broke his hands and left him disabled. ”
"Hey~ I understand, you just used words to test that little er, but he said that since the Yuelai Building was built, he has been busy in the store, and there is no one else." Only then did Lin'er suddenly realize that Gu Xiao suddenly called the little second in Yuelai Building to ask the meaning of those words.
Lin'er looked at the young man in Tsing Yi in front of her, couldn't help admiring his delicate thoughts, and listened to Gu Xiao again.
"This thing is too strange, Uncle Li has been missing for a long time, you and I will act separately, if anything happens to you again, what should I do."
Lin'er listened to Gu Xiao's words, lowered her head for a moment, and said softly: "If one day, I also disappear, will you come to look for me like this?" ”
Gu Xiao didn't know the meaning of the girl's words, but frowned and looked around, wanting to find clues about Uncle Li's disappearance, and blurted out: "Of course, if there is one day, I will definitely be like this, who made us friends." ”
After listening to the first half of the sentence, Lin'er felt happy in her heart, but when she heard the word 'friend', Lin'er couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart, but Gu Xiao seemed to understand the meaning of Lin'er's words when she stepped on the snow in her arms, and tilted her head and grinned at Gu Xiao. I'm afraid that if he can speak in the snow, Gu Xiao will be bloody.
Liangzhou City complains heartily, and the blue clothes are like hibiscus.
Tsing Yi didn't understand the long mind, and only put the green mountains in the sunset.
