Chapter 108: Trickery is a river and lake

In the dark night, freezing rain fell from the sky, and the streets were empty.

However, in the middle of the night in the cold and light rain of winter, a noodle stall spread out a canopy, lit candles, and made noodles by itself.

Lots under the noodles, very thick.

It seems that there are a lot of customers coming to the noodle stall soon.

This kind of cold night, let alone pedestrians, I'm afraid that even wild dogs will not appear.

But someone really came.

It was a middle-aged man with thick calluses on his hands, who seemed to have just finished pulling weeds from the field and hadn't even washed his trouser legs.

The trouser legs were soaked by the freezing rain, mixed with the soil, and turned yellow, and the hands and feet were also frozen and blue.

The middle-aged man didn't feel cold at all, and when he came to the noodle stall, he just asked coldly.

"Are you telling the truth?"

The proprietress of the noodle stall didn't answer, but just swept the bench: "It seems that Your Excellency came from far away, so . Let's eat noodles first. ”

A bowl of white noodles was served, and there were no green onions, and the people who watched it had no appetite at all.

The middle-aged man was indeed very hungry, looking at the pot full of white noodles, he also nodded, sat down directly, and ate the noodles in a big gulp.

Just eating and eating, tears can't stop flowing.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place.

Before the man finished his noodles, three people appeared on the street again, including a pot-bellied rich businessman, a young man with a sword on his face, and a woman with a sad face.

The three of them glanced at each other and turned their faces away, because they were all sad people, so they didn't want to see another face like their own.

Sit down and eat noodles.

Eating noodles that have just come out of the pot and are so hot that people keep crying.

The crowd increased again, one to four, four to seven, until the three noodle tables were full of people, and some people began to stand to eat noodles, and the noodle stall proprietress said with a somewhat uncomfortable face.

"Looks like the others won't be able to come tonight."

Everyone's expressions began to be solemn, and the rich businessmen in the crowd spoke.

"Aunt Hua, have you really found the whereabouts of the plum blossom thief?"

Plum blossom thieves have been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for more than a year, persecuting how many women from good families, Li Chaofeng knows who the murderer is, and also knows that there will be many people around Lin Xian'er to be plum blossom thieves for her.

But he never thought that the woman who was killed by the plum blossom thief also had a family.

Fathers, mothers, husbands, brothers, and even sisters.

Because of Lin Xian'er's sentence "catch the plum blossom thief, she will promise each other", they all compete for favor.

Just the golden silk armor that is suspected to be able to deal with the plum blossom thief has caused rivers of blood to flow in the rivers and lakes.

But these people on the noodle stall were looking for the whereabouts of the plum blossom thief before Lin Xian'er "promised to do so".

I just can't find it.

The plum blossom thieves are in Shandong today, and they will go to Jiangxi tomorrow, and their group of people can't catch up, let alone find them.

The dead are gone, the living still have to live, and they can only choose to forget.

But as soon as someone tells them the whereabouts of the enemy, they have to come, even if . . . Just a teaser.

Aunt Hua didn't like this mission, because it was too uncomfortable to watch, and her heart was not happy enough, so she just smiled and replied seriously.

"No, it's just that my son has found someone who can find the plum thief."

The young man holding the sword opened his eyes wide: "Who?" ”

Aunt Hua's face was solemn: "Yuanlong Gongzi, Li Chaofeng." ”

The rich businessman narrowed his eyes: "Aunt Hua is talking about Li Chaofeng, who was arrested by the money gang for a reward." ”

Li Chaofeng stepped on the face of the Money Gang and became famous, how famous the Money Gang is, how famous Li Chaofeng is.

Aunt Hua smiled: "The Book of Changes has clouds, and the dragon sees the head but not the tail, and it is dry." ”

"The four trigrams, or jumping in the abyss, are not to blame."

"Li Chaofeng fights the money gang alone, it seems to be arrogant but there is a basis for advancing and retreating, it is for, Yuanlong Gongzi."

Everyone was silent, but quickly looked up, because they didn't come here to hear Li Chaofeng's new name, a woman asked.

"Who is your son?"

A hint of pride flashed on Aunt Hua's face: "Xiaoxiang chivalry, Hu Tiehua." ”

She is indeed proud, because she is indeed Hu Tiehua's "mother".

It's just that she didn't give birth to Hu Tiehua, but a son who gambled by gambling.

She wins, she is Hu Tiehua's mother, she loses, let Hu Tiehua sleep.

Hearing Hu Tiehua's reputation, the farmer who came first nodded.

"Aunt Hua is really Aunt Hua, I heard that Hu Tiehua and Li Chaofeng are close friends, this matter is indeed feasible."

The young man holding the sword shook his head: "Even if Li Chaofeng can fight the money gang alone, no one in the rivers and lakes has heard that he has the ability to find someone." ”

Aunt Hua laughed, and many people laughed.

Because they know a truth, a person who knows how to hide himself in front of others without being discovered is the most suitable person to find the plum blossom thief.

The night was cold, and a man coughed twice and asked, "So. What price do we pay for revenge? ”

Aunt Hua was solemn: "Come here, and then, let the Yuanlong Gongzi see you, or rather, see the pain on your faces." ”

Her eyes drifted to the small building opposite, where there was also a light, and Aunt Hua's words were solemn.

"Then, together with the Yuanlong Prince, go and kill the plum blossom thief!"

——

On the small building opposite the noodle stall, Hu Tiehua was holding the wine jar and drinking, and Li Chaofeng was also drinking with a wine glass, looking at the various characters on the noodle stall, with a puzzled face.

"Hu Tiehua, these people don't seem to be from the rivers and lakes."

Hu Tiehua was proud: "Of course, these people are the relatives of the victims of the plum blossom case, and they may have been mixed with the rivers and lakes, but now, most of them have retired to the mountains and forests or returned to the market." ”

Li Chaofeng squinted: "So what are you looking for them for?" Can they deal with the Plum Blossom Thieves? ”

Hu Tiehua asked rhetorically: "Why are you unwilling to deal with the plum blossom thief?" ”

Li Chaofeng's eyes widened, and he quickly clenched his fists: "So. Are you pushing me to do it? ”

Hu Tiehua put away her smile and looked solemn.

"Snake ghost, didn't I say it, I'm going to show you the rivers and lakes."

"And this is the rivers and lakes, called, you are cheating."

"You, everything is good, but it's a little bad, your heart is too soft."

"It's hard for people who are too soft-hearted to stay out of things."

Li Chaofeng pressed his heart, closed his eyes, no longer listened to the sound outside, and bared his teeth.

"My bowls of noodles were really fed to the dogs."

Seeing Li Chaofeng's ruthless voice, Hu Tiehua sighed in his heart, he knew that what he did this time was not authentic enough.

Because Li Chaofeng really regards him as a friend, but he wants this friend to solve an extremely troublesome "idle matter".

It was indeed very troublesome, and Li Chaofeng dared to go with him to explore the desert where he knew nothing.

But the first time he heard that he wanted to solve the plum blossom thief, his expression was one of refusing to participate.

Not only did he refuse to participate, but he also tried to keep him out of the matter.

This is a big trouble, a trouble that he Hu Tiehua alone can never solve.

So he needs a helper, but Li Chaofeng can't be asked anymore, the love between the two is not enough, and he already owes Li Chaofeng a life.

People only have one life, and if they owe too much, they are playing scoundrels.

So he started playing scoundrels.

Li Chaofeng's heart is too soft, he will always see the misery of the world in his eyes first, and then choose to leave it behind.

But there was too much misery, and he couldn't throw it away.

Listening to Li Chaofeng talk about things, Hu Tiehua laughed.

"If one less bowl of noodles can save one more person, I can go without eating the noodles you make for the rest of my life."

Hearing this, Li Chaofeng looked at Hu Tiehua directly, and suddenly laughed dumbly.

"I was wrong."

Hu Tiehua hesitated: "What do you mean?" ”

Li Chaofeng looked at Baoding Mansion, and then at Hu Tiehua.

"Didn't you ask me, if you have my ability, can you solve the plum blossom thief?"

Yes, the problem of plum blossom thieves can't be solved by the prophet's Li Chaofeng, but Hu Tiehua can really solve it.

Hu Tiehua was overjoyed: "Didn't you say you couldn't?"

Li Chaofeng sighed: "That's because I only counted your martial arts, but I forgot that you have friends!"

"Hu Tiehua, compared to me, you have many, many friends."

Hu Tiehua: "What do you mean?"

Li Chaofeng didn't explain anymore, just stood up and said.

"Let's go."

Hu Tiehua then stood up: "Where are you going?"

"Go... Look at plum blossoms. ”
