Chapter 37: Possession (I)
After Xie Run got up, he pretended to be quite straightforward, and his face was a little embarrassed, and said, "Uh...... I thought about it, brother, since you have good intentions, I shouldn't turn people away thousands of miles away, so I ...... Let's come here. β
As he spoke, he walked over.
The others didn't think anything of it, but when Sun Yihuan and Huang Donglai saw this, they immediately glanced at each other, and the eyes seemed to say-understood.
In the eyes of these two treacherous and cunning guys, Xie Run is a very calm person, combined with his appearance and dress, even if they can't find out the internal force from him, they are still seven or eight points sure that he is a person in the rivers and lakes.
Of course, it doesn't hurt to have people in the rivers and lakes, as long as you don't show obvious hostility, then you don't say it, we don't say it, everyone doesn't break the river water.
But now, Xie Run suddenly changed his attitude because of Sun Yihuan's "inconvenience", and became a little "breathless", which revealed a lot of information.
How cunning are Sun and Huang? After a little pondering, the two of them reacted: This strong man carries two burdens, both of which are not big, one on his back and the other in his hand, why is this? Even if it is something that must be packed separately, then you can also wrap it separately and put it into a big burden? Take a step back, according to the size of those two burdens, it is okay to carry them on your back at the same time......
This kind of detail, if you don't think about it, you won't be aware of it, but if you already have doubts, you can think about it.
At that moment, Sun Yixiang and Huang Donglai thought of it almost at the same time - in the burden in the hands of this strong man, it must be a very valuable thing.
Some people may say, no matter how valuable it is, how much can it be worth? Brother Sun and Brother Huang have at least a few thousand taels of silver tickets in their luggage, and they are not so guarded?
But there's no comparison......
For example, for a rich man, he may not take it seriously if he loses a few taels of silver, and he forgets it after a long time, but for a poor man, a matter of a few dozen dollars can make him die in a hurry, or even force him to death.
And the current situation is similar to this: for Huang Donglai and Sun Yihuan, a few thousand taels is indeed not a small amount, and they can't be thrown away casually, but if they really lose it, they won't be anything, at most they will be angry for a while, and when they figure it out, they will eat a trench and grow wise.
But for Xie Run, who was darts, if the things in the baggage were lost...... Even if this thing is only worth a penny, he can't afford it.
In other words, if an ordinary dart master loses a dart, it's easy to say, but you Xie Run, as the No. 3 person in the Yiyong Dart Bureau, personally went out to go out of the "dark dart", and finally lost it? That's not just you Xie Run can take the blame alone, this is a big thing that makes the signboard of the Yiyong Dart Bureau dusty.
Therefore, Xie Run had to be careful, and he had to be overkill.
"Oh...... Haha, it's okay, it's okay, come on, sit here. Sun Yihe and the other party have no grievances, and there is no need to tell what he guessed, so he also continued to maintain the principle of seeing through and not saying it, and greeted the other party as if he had nothing to do, "They are all people on the road, and it is appropriate to help each other when they encounter difficulties, nothing to be embarrassed hahaha." β
"Ah, yes, yes. Xie Run also continued to pretend to be naΓ―ve, nodded and sat down.
Sitting down, he sat down, but he didn't take off his clothes, and he didn't leave his two burdens, and his state was no different from when he was sitting in the corner just now.
can't blame him, the rivers and lakes are sinister, he has to guard against it.
Who knows if the six of you are really the ones who walked? What if the six of you and the boatman were all in the same group? What if you got me here by design? What if the scholar and the merchant had deliberately put on a quarrel to show me? What if you took advantage of the fact that I was undressed, and the movement was restricted?
In this strange environment of isolation and helplessness, Xie Run, who has a heavy responsibility, has 10,000 whatevers in his mind, and he is not enough.
Fortunately...... What happened next didn't happen as much as he had expected.
No one complained about him not taking off his clothes and roasting the fire, in the end...... People don't have much friendship with him, there is no need to care about him, as long as he doesn't get in the way of others, no one cares about him.
And this kind of indifference also made Xie Run breathe a sigh of relief a little - he has gone a lot, he is not afraid of indifference, but he is afraid of enthusiasm, and he is not afraid of people who show malice to you at the beginning, but he is afraid of people who are inexplicably good to you.
Therefore, among the six people in front of him, Xie Run is most afraid of Sun Yihui now......
Of course, as long as Brother Sun doesn't make any moves that make Xie Run feel problematic first, Xie Run will not act rashly.
In this way, time passed slowly, and everyone roasted and rested in a silent, oppressive atmosphere.
Some of them are indeed a little tired, when they were "drifting" on the boat before, everyone's body was tense, and it was also very difficult to wear soaked clothes all the way to come from the wind and rain after going ashore.
Before he knew it, the trader was asleep on one of the boxes in his luggage.
As mentioned earlier, this businessman is a relatively simple and straightforward person, although his mouth is a little broken, but his heart and eyes are not bad, this kind of person, "big heart", even in this environment can sleep.
But others are not as relaxed as he is.
The scholar was narrow-minded, and although he had nothing of value on himself, he didn't want to sleep, but he didn't want to sleep, and that Langzhong, who was there, saw a lot of things, and kept an eye on everything, and didn't dare to sleep.
Why Xie Run didn't sleep won't explain more.
Lei is not jealous, he is really not tired, after all, he is young and his martial arts are high, if you let him run in the rain for two hours in a row, he doesn't need to make up for a nap, at most he can use his skills to breathe for a while.
As for Sun Yihe and Huang Donglai...... They originally wanted to doze off, and they were relieved that Lei Buji was awake anyway, but when they deduced that Xie Run was probably a Jianghu person with valuables, they couldn't sleep either.
It's not that they are worried about Xie Run's things, but these two old cowards are the same as Xie Run...... Started to be suspicious of others.
What if the three guys and the boatman were all in the same group? What if they got the strong man here by design and wanted to gank him? What if the scholar and the merchant deliberately staged a quarrel for the strong man to see? What if they ganked and wanted to kill us by the way?
The rivers and lakes are sinister, they have to guard against it!
So in this silent psychological warfare, an hour passed.
The balists also put their clothes back on.
So are the clothes already dry? Of course not.
It's just that if you continue to bake your clothes, you won't have that completely dry feeling, but they will only get harder and harder, and the color will be baked more and more yellow.
At that time, except for a small number of extreme elites who did not eat fireworks in the world, most people knew this kind of common sense, Sun Yihe and Huang Donglai also lived in this universe for seventeen or eighteen years, and they must have known it.
When they had finished dressing, they woke up the merchant and reminded him to put them on.
By this time, everyone was in a better state, and the clothes had been wrung out of water before they were taken to bake, and after they were done, if not particularly dry, they were better than when they had just taken them off, and the few of them themselves had been sitting by the fire for so long, and their bodies were warm.
Finally, at a time when the atmosphere was quite good, Huang Donglai spoke: "Everyone, as the so-called meeting is fate, today we and the other seven people can gather a fire under the same roof, it is undoubtedly fate, during this time everyone sat and did not speak, I think it is also uncomfortable, otherwise, let's exchange names, right? If there is something later, at least everyone can call each other's names." β
As soon as he said this, the faces of the scholar, Lang Zhong, the merchant and Xie Run all changed color, obviously each with their own thoughts.
In order to reassure them, Huang Donglai said: "Oh, of course, I don't mean to force everyone, if you don't want to say it, you can not say it, I can tell you first, in Xia Huang Donglai, these two are my brothers Sun Yihe and Lei Buji, we are all going to the rivers and lakes." β
Huang Donglai revealed his identity here with two intentions: first, he wanted to preemptively test Xie Run's reaction to this, and second, he also wanted to use this as an opportunity to let Xie Run understand that the three of them were not coming for Xie Run, and could even temporarily form an alliance with Xie Run when they were in danger.
And after hearing his words, the first person to respond was Lang Zhong: "Uh...... The old decayed Tian Wude is a Langzhong who walks in the square. β
"I've seen Mr. Tian. "When Huang Donglai chats with people other than his brother, most of the time he seems to be very polite and knowledgeable.
"Don't dare, don't dare, just eat with a mouthful. Tian Wude also said politely.
"Xiaoshengkong Hengji. When the scholar saw that someone had already signed up, he refused to be the last one, and hurriedly spoke second.
And before his words fell, Xie Run couldn't wait to answer: "In Xia Xu Ren, it's a ......"
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the footman suddenly interrupted: "No, you are not surnamed Xu." β
As soon as these words came out, the other six people were all stunned, especially Xie Run, who was simply a spirit all over his body, and suddenly turned his head and glared at the merchant.
But seeing the foot merchant, his eyes at this time were the same as before he fell asleep, under the firelight, his eyes were faintly filled with a green light, and his tone became very strange and confident: "Your surname is Xie, your name is Xie Run!"
Xie Run's face sank, and the false straightforward look disappeared in an instant, replaced by a cold expression: "If I am Xie Run, then who are you?"
"Me?" the footman suddenly smiled when he was asked, "hehe...... Hahahaha...... "His smile was extremely grotesque, and his words were even more creepy, "My name is Yelu Baoqi." β
