Chapter 9 Please
If it was normal, Lu Ran would definitely ignore this person, but this time, maybe because he saw Xu Fu, he was a little ghostly, waved his hand at the person, walked over directly, and entered a stranger's room like this.
The stranger looked in his thirties, but his hair was already a little gray, tall and thin, but a little weak, and there was a big braid at the back of his head, which dragged down to his waist.
This big braid Lu Ran is a little familiar, in fact, Lu Ran is also very familiar with this person's appearance, when he follows Grandpa to run the boat, he occasionally meets the fleet from the north, and some people in the fleet have such big braids, and the few northern crew members who have taken pictures with him in the impression are also seven or eight points similar to the person in front of him, but the dark circles under the eyes of the person in front of him are darker, his eyes are more listless, and his face is so thin that there is almost no flesh.
"You're Char?" Lu Ran looked around the room, this room was compared to the luxurious three-person room of the three brothers, although it was on the same floor, it was too different, there was a bed and a table in the room, and there was not even a second chair for sitting people.
Lu Ran glanced at the candle flame on the table that was about to burn out, and asked, "You don't want to invite me to drink, what about wine?"
The man smiled a little shyly, and took out an equally dirty pair of drinking utensils from his dirty bosom, but there was only one wine glass.
The man poured a glass of extremely turbid liquid and handed it over.
Lu Ran didn't think about it, he drank it in one gulp, and the smell of cheap wine went straight to his stomach and then straight to the back of his head.
"Hey, this doesn't taste good, let's go, I'll ask you to go and drink it on the other side." Lu Ran told the truth, and at the same time noticed that this person was holding the wine bottle, and secretly became more energetic.
It's these hands.
Lu Ran suddenly remembered that these northern crew members have a unique title, grandpa called them gamblers, like Haizi, gamblers live by operating casinos in the offshore sea, and each of the gamblers is also a gambler themselves, they can gamble with others anytime and anywhere, and even take their own lives, therefore, there are only two kinds of gamblers, one is a temporary winner, and the other is an eternal loser.
The one in front of him was obviously a loser, and Lu Ran noticed that he had two hands, at least four fingers missing.
"I...... My name is Kaneba." Seeing Lu Ran staring at his hand, the man did not shy away from it, and stretched out his left hand to shake hands with Lu Ran, but sure enough, he was missing his thumb and middle finger.
He said, "At this point, you can't buy wine in Wangying Port, at most you go out to the seventh alley on the right, there are sweet wine sellers."
"My name is Lu Ran." Lu Ran shook his hand generously, "I've already drunk the wine, then I'll leave first, and I'll invite you back another day when I have the chance."
When Jin Xi heard that Lu Ran was leaving, he suddenly panicked, stepped forward, stretched out a sleeve and blocked the door, "Wait."
Lu Ran had already seen that this Jin Xi was not an ordinary person, and his hand had been put behind him, but fortunately, after being robbed once, Miss Shu was inseparable from him.
Seeing that he was a little out of shape, Jin Xi smiled awkwardly and put down his hand, which made his purpose clear, "Actually, I have one more thing to ask this little brother to help."
"Please." Lu Ran had some interest in this person.
The man invited Lu Ran to sit back on the table, then dipped his saliva and wrote the word "Lu Ran" on the dusty tabletop.
"Is that you?" He tried his best to keep his bloodshot eyes open.
Lu Ran nodded.
Kim Se seemed to have chosen, and said, "I'll just say it directly, someone has entrusted me to discuss a matter with you."
"What's the matter?" Lu Ran smiled, there was really something wrong with this, it was really impossible for him to meet an ordinary person in an ordinary place on an ordinary day, drink an ordinary glass of wine with him, and the two of them would be ordinary friends with a stick of incense.
Jin Xi thought about it, and seemed to be unsure of other people's commissions, so he took out a small note from his sleeve, looked at it close to his eyes, and then said, "He hopes that you will not go to Jueying Island to learn the Tao."
"Huh?" Lu Ran imagined almost seven or eight guesses, but he didn't expect that this person was here to pass on the word, and it was this sentence.
Lu Ran didn't have to think about it, and directly rejected the man.
Men don't
Surprised, nodded, took out the note again, still almost stuck to the eye, and read it again.
"Prevent the people of Wuhai Town, Wushan County, Xia, and Lu Ran, the winner of the Huantian Jiao, from rushing to Jueying Island to learn the Tao."
This time, he read it out, and it was carefully and carefully, word for word, three times.
"Hey, is it really okay for you to read the secret like that?" Lu Ran was on the side, not angry, but a little embarrassed.
In order to save this awkward atmosphere, he took the initiative to speak, "Let me guess who this person is who you just said you were entrusted with."
Without waiting for Jin Xi to answer, Lu Ran preemptively said the name.
"Xu Hui."
Kim Ryu was a little surprised, "You...... Know Mr. Hui?"
"It's better to know each other." Lu Ran sighed, since he was Mr. Xu's person, it was equivalent to lifting the alarm, so his attitude towards Jin Xi was also a lot more polite and intimate, "Then trouble this immortal, go and tell Mr. Xu, I have made up my mind, this Jueying Island, I am going to decide, please don't worry, I have my considerations and plans, in addition, please please say hello to him and the blue boy and the red boy with me, and when I have free time in the future, I will definitely visit Shengdu again."
Jin Xi listened very seriously, but his expression gradually became a little wrong, after listening to Lu Ran spit out the last word, he was like a different person, if he began to cringe a little like a gambling rat, and then looked up like a fierce and aggressive fighting in a cage.
Jin Xi's eyes still looked like he couldn't open them, but the killing intent in them couldn't be hidden.
"I'll get the word out." Jin Xi said in a deep voice, "But I must also complete the task."
"Isn't the task of delivering the word already complete?" Lu Ran took a step back, and his left hand touched his waist again.
"The task isβ" Jin Xi shook off the small note he had been holding in his hand, "to prevent the people of Wuhai Town, Wushan County, Xia, and Lu Ran, the winner of the Huantian Jiao, from rushing to Jueying Island to learn the Tao."
He smiled suddenly, "Killing is also a kind of deterrence."
"Hey, don't mess around, my relationship with Xu Hui ......" Lu Ran didn't understand, Xu Hui's people are still so unreasonable?
"It's been three hundred years, and I've finally waited for a task, and I must complete it, and I must complete it meticulously and impeccably."
In Jin Xi's hand, there was suddenly a colorful wooden ball, like a child playing with a cocoon ball on the road.
Lu Ran knows this thing, this is a gamble, and it is the ancestor of dice.
The room in front of him suddenly darkened, but instead of the candle flame extinguished, Lu Ran entered the illusion of the golden wash.
