Chapter 15: The Fortune Boy Encounters a Robber
At this time, Xiao Er brought a cold dish and a jar of good wine to Ning Lin.
"You don't understand the society of the human race! Fists are important here, but there is something more powerful than fists!" Ning Lin said to Xian'er in the sea of knowledge.
"What's that?"
"Haven't you heard a saying? Money can make the devil grind! As long as money opens the way, there is no problem that cannot be solved!"
Ning Lin threw Xiao Er a silver coin, Xiao Er grabbed the silver coin, smiled like a flower on his face, and nodded to Ning Lin again and again.
"Ask you something, and there will be a reward for answering it!"
"Childe, you say, as long as I know the Tao, I promise to know everything!" Xiao Er carefully pocketed the silver coins, which was his day's salary!
"Have you heard of Ningjiazhuang?"
"Ningjiazhuang?" Xiao Er frowned, thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice: "Childe is talking about Ningjiazhuang in Hongshi Town......?
"Who did Zhi Lu Dao?" Ning Lin hurriedly asked.
"This ......"
Ning Lin took out another gold coin, slapped it on the table, and looked at Xiao Er without speaking.
"Childe, the villain is just a shopkeeper, how can he know such a thing!" Shopkeeper looked at the gold coins on the table with a bitter face, which was equivalent to a few months' salary, but unfortunately it was visible and couldn't get it!
"This gold is rewarding you, help me inquire. I'll be coming over for dinner these days, and if I have a clue, I'll be thankful!"
"Xie Lu, Xie Gongzi!" Xiao Er hurriedly put away the gold coins.
"This is what you said is more powerful than a fist?" Seeing Xiao Er leave, Xian'er couldn't help but ask.
"Lazy cat, it seems that you only know the importance of the strength of the Dao, but you don't know the power of the money! In the human society, those who have strength alone are fools, and those who have money alone are fat sheep, and only strength plus money is the king! You wait, if those men in black really stop in Sand and Stone City, I promise to find clues!"
The braised lamb chops were soon on the table, and Xian'er couldn't care about talking nonsense with Ning Lin anymore, squatted on the table, grabbed the lamb chops and ate them happily with soup and water.
Ning Lin also had no intention of competing with Xian'er for food, poured a glass of wine and put it in front of him, and ate a few bites of food, but his main energy was still on the diners around him, hoping to hear something useful.
It's just that after eating a meal, Ning Lin didn't hear any clues, so he could only leave Dengxian Tower happily.
One afternoon, Ning Lin wandered around the major restaurants in the city, and there were more than a dozen silver coins scattered, and it was not until midnight that he left the last restaurant with Xian'er, ready to find an inn to settle down.
Although Sand River City is a large city within a radius of thousands of kilometers, there is no electricity in this world, and there are no street lights on the roadside. At night in the other world, most of the ordinary people still use oil lamps and candles.
Ning Lin walked on the dark road alone by starlight, his heart was turning, and he didn't know when he would find the clues to kill his relatives. It's really not good, so I can only try my luck at the Water Shadow Building in Kaizhou County!
"Boy, stand still!" A strong man flashed out of the shadow under the roadside house, and a loud shout interrupted Ning Lin's thoughts.
Ning Lin was stunned for a moment, and at this time, several figures flashed out from behind Ning Lin. The steel knives in the hands of these strong men made Ning Lin immediately understand that he had encountered robbers! Perhaps it was his behavior of scattering wealth during the day that attracted the attention of these gangsters.
"Boy, I heard that you are inquiring about Ningjiazhuang, and there is a reward?"
"Yes! As long as you have clues, the reward is guaranteed to be yours!"
"Give the uncle fifty gold coins first, and I'll tell you!" a strong man behind him carried a knife and said with a sneer.
"Yes!" Ning Lin took out the money bag from his arms and threw it to the strong man with the knife.
The strong man with the knife grabbed the money bag, and saw the golden silk inside through the starlight in the sky, and his eyes were bigger than the porcupine!
"This, this ......" A relatively thin robber beside the strong man with a knife may have seen so many gold coins for the first time in his life, he stretched out his hand tremblingly, took a gold curtain, put it in his mouth and bit it hard, saw the clear tooth marks on it, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "Big, big brother, it's real, it's really gold!
"Smack!" The strong man with the knife slapped the thin man, snatched back the gold silk in his hand and put it in the bag, and scolded: "Stick, you want to die!
The stick was not annoyed when it was beaten, and when he rubbed the place where it was beaten, he still had a smirk on his face.
"Boy, this money is not enough! If you really want to know the clues of the Dao, you have to give you at least 100 gold coins! No, it's 100 per person!"
The strong man with the knife is the eldest of the three, and he is secretly glad in his heart, but he didn't expect to meet a fat sheep today, and he casually gave himself fifty gold coins, if he can get three hundred gold coins, he will immediately go away and fly high, even if he goes to Kaizhou County, he can enjoy ten or eight years! Even if this kid doesn't give it, it doesn't matter, looking at his thin and weak appearance, there is nothing in his body, how can he not be the opponent of his three brothers, catch this kid, the money on his body is not all his own?
"I can give you three hundred gold silks, but you have to tell me something useful to prove that you didn't lie to me!"
Ning Lin casually took out another money bag, and the gold coins in it jingled, and several robbers were frightened when they heard it, and their eyes were red!
"Big brother, you're drooling!" the stick reminded in a whisper.
The strong man with the knife stretched out his hand to wipe his saliva, kicked the stick aside, and smiled at Ning Linyin: "Okay! Brother will tell you something useful! Two years ago, a group of black-clothed people passed by nearly a hundred miles outside Shashui City, and the direction they went should be Ningjiazhuang......
"Do you know who those people are?" Ning Lin didn't expect that these robbers really knew Lu Dao, and he was ecstatic in his heart.
"Money!" said the strong man with the knife stretched out his hand to Ning Lin.
Ning Lin didn't talk nonsense, and threw the money bag in his hand to the strong man with the knife. The strong man took the money bag and opened it to see that it was indeed a gold coin, at least a few hundred, and he didn't dare to count them at all, for fear of being seen by others, so he hurriedly put it in his arms.
The strong man with the knife didn't expect the money to come so easily, and looked at Ning Lin's slightly thin body with an evil smile: "Boy, it's a lot of money, give it to grandpa, and the master will help you spend it!" After speaking, the strong man with the knife raised the long knife in his hand slightly, his face was hideous, and he walked towards Ning Lin step by step.
"This is what you said that money can make ghosts grind?" Xian'er pursed her lips and laughed at Ning Lin.
"Don't forget another sentence: strength plus money is king!" Ning Lin knew when he saw a few people that these people regarded themselves as fat sheep, but he still gave him money according to the words of the strong man with the knife, just because he didn't want to let go of any opportunity to find clues! Now it seems that these people don't cry when they don't see the coffin, they don't hit the south wall and don't look back! If they don't teach them a lesson, they won't tell the truth!
"Why don't I come!I haven't eaten human flesh for a long time!" Xian'er followed Ning Lin in the restaurant for a day, and ate all the exquisite dishes in the city's large and small restaurants, but she hadn't eaten a human race for more than two years, after all, it was a fierce beast, and she still missed the days in the Black Forest very much!
"No! Don't eat human flesh in the future, otherwise I'll have nightmares with you!" "Ning Lin is a human after all, and he grew up on the earth, there are no beasts there, only those perverted murderers will eat human flesh! That has broken through Ning Lin's psychological bottom line, so Ning Lin will not raise a man-eating servant beast by his side no matter what!
"Then you can solve it yourself!" said Xian'er, jumping onto the ridge of the alley, and lying there ignoring the people. I just don't know how these robbers will feel once they find out that what they are not a fortune boy in front of them, but a fierce beast in human skin!
