Chapter 23: The Ladder (5)
Early the next morning, Gao Yu prepared the materials for his disguise, came to the Shen Yan room, and dressed him in disguise. The white snow was waiting on the sidelines.
Gao Yuan's disguise technique is really wonderful, and after some trouble, Shen Yan has become an old man with gray hair, if he doesn't see it himself, he really can't see a flaw.
Bai Yixue was surprised again and again, and said with a smile: "Sister Gao's disguise technique is really magical, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, even if the second brother stood in front of me, I wouldn't have recognized him." ”
Gao Yu said with a smile: "If you want to change a person's appearance, especially if you are young and handsome, it is not difficult to become old and ugly, but it is difficult to change the accent of his speech and his manners." Second brother, you should hunch your back and bend a little when you walk, and don't walk too fast. ”
Bai Yixue said with a smile: "Second Brother Shen has suddenly aged by more than ten years after you dressed up like this, and when Brother Sang sees you, it is time to call you 'big brother'." ”
Shen Yan laughed and said: "Brother Bai, I am not too old, and I am ugly, a little older and a little uglier, it doesn't matter, it's just that a young man with red lips and white teeth like you, if you want to change an ugly appearance, it's really difficult for my seventh sister." ”
Gao Yu looked at the white-clothed snow, and said with a sigh in his mouth: "Such a beautiful young man, I don't know whose girl in the future, the good fortune that has been cultivated in several lifetimes, can marry you as a wife." ”
Bai Yixue's face turned red, and he said coyly: "My sister made fun of it." Gao Yu took the materials and made a mockery for him. Bai Yixue sat upright, but Gao Yuan's words made his heart fluctuate, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, and two handsome faces appeared in front of him, one was Mo Lingsha, and the other was Song Zhixuan, both of them smiled and looked at themselves, as if they had something to say, but they both wanted to say and stopped, and suddenly he only felt dizzy, as if he was in a dream.
Gao Yu was busy, put a layer of yellow powder on Bai Yixue's face, and pasted black mustaches on his lips and chin, as if he was a middle-aged man. Bai Yixue looked at the bronze mirror by herself, her appearance changed greatly, and she said with a smile: "Sister Gao's hand is really a coincidence. ”
Gao Yu said: "People rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold." The two of them still lack a set of clothes...... "At this moment, Tu Jiao walked in with two new sets of clothes. Gao Yu smiled: "Fifth brother came just in time, have you bought all the clothes?"
Tu Jiao said: "I went around the town in the morning, and I bought all the things according to the meaning of the seventh sister." Only then did Bai Yixue know that Tu Jiao had gone out to buy new clothes for herself and Shen Yan early in the morning according to Gao Yu's request. The two changed their newly bought clothes, Shen Yan was a dark green Luo shirt, with exquisite materials, pretending to be a wealthy businessman who was on the go all the year round, and Bai Yi Xue was a plain cloth shirt, dressed as Shen Yan's personal butler.
The two of them got ready, left the inn, and walked towards Dongdu Town. Shen Yan said: "Brother Bai, when we get to the town, let's go to the sixth brother's inn first and see if there is anything to gain." ”
Bai Yixue said: "It's all up to the second brother." ”
Along the way, Shen and Bai were worried about revealing their horses' feet, so they didn't dare to perform light kung fu, so they had to hurry slowly, and when they arrived at Dongdu Town, it was already noon. The two came to the small inn where Bi Hua had stayed before, and there was nothing unusual in the store. Shen Yan inquired with the shopkeeper, and there were still several empty rooms, so he booked two rooms.
After a short break, the two came to the lobby to eat, there were not many diners in the lobby, and there were two men sitting at a table around the corner, eating wine and food, but looking at the door from time to time, looking anxious, which immediately attracted Shen Yan's attention. He glanced at Bai Yixue slightly, and the two of them sat down at the table next to the two men, ordered the meal, and ate it casually. The two of them observed for a while, and there were three pairs of empty dishes and chopsticks on the table of the two men, indicating that there were still companions coming.
Halfway through the meal, I heard hurried footsteps outside the store, and sure enough, three more men entered the inn in a hurry, and sat down at the adjacent table. The three of them were covered with sweat on their foreheads, and their expressions were quite restless.
A short and fat man in the original seat asked in a low voice, "Have you taken it?" Although the voice was low, Bai Yixue and Shen Yan could hear it clearly.
A new man with a black mole on his face shook his head slowly and whispered, "It's tricky. He was very vigilant, looking around, Bai Yixue and Shen Yan only buried their heads in eating, and there was a sound of chewing in their mouths.
The short and fat man sighed and said, "Thousands of things, eating is a big thing, a few brothers have worked hard, so let's fill my stomach first." The three newcomers picked up the dishes and chopsticks and devoured them. A few people were eating, and there was a loud noise outside the store, and a thunderclap was deafening, which seemed to split the sky.
The man with the black mole looked up at the outside of the store and muttered, "It's only been a few months, and the weather is already hot and humid. The three newcomers swept away the food on the table. A few people had just put down their chopsticks, and someone outside the door said loudly, "Is Brother Cao here?" Before the words fell, a green-robed Taoist priest wearing a mixed yuan scarf walked in quickly.
The black mole man stood up and said, "Brother Lingyi Dao, you came quickly, we have just arrived. Have you eaten?"
The green-robed Taoist priest was obviously hungry, grabbed a chicken skeleton on the table, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it for a while, rattled in his mouth, and swallowed even the broken bones.
The black mole man smiled: "Brother Lingyi Dao, you eat slowly." ”
Shen Yan and Bai Yixue glanced at each other, and thought in their hearts: "Monks should abstain from meat, this Lingyi Daoist has violated the fast, and the habits of the rivers and lakes are even heavier." ”
After eating the chicken skeleton, Lingyi Daoist picked up the wine jug on the table again, raised his neck, and faced the spout, "Goodo", "Goo", and drank a pot of soju to the point that there was no left.
The man with the black mole smiled and said, "Brother Dao has drunk a lot, it's really good." ”
The Spirit Wing Daoist laughed, wiped his grease mouth with his hand, and said, "Let's go." With that, he turned around and took the lead out of the inn, and the few men who were sitting quickly got up and followed.
Shen Yan said in a low voice: "Let's take a look." The two settled the account and chased after them in the direction where the Spirit Wing Daoist and the others left. Out of Dongdu Town, I saw that on the field in front of me, the Spirit Wing Daoist and others were hurrying away, the sky above everyone's heads was full of dark clouds, the wind was strong in the fields, and a rainstorm was coming.
Shen Yan and Bai Yixue didn't dare to get too close for fear of revealing their whereabouts, but fortunately, first, they came here with different posts, and the terrain was undulating and changeable, making it easy to track and hide;
After about a cup of tea, the dark clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, the sky gradually darkened, and the raindrops the size of beans began to fall, and the air was suddenly filled with a fresh earthy smell.
Shen Yan and Bai Yixue followed, turned around a deserted Gangchong, and the scene in front of them startled the two. It turned out that in the quagmire not far ahead, the black pressure station was full of people, and the Spirit Wing Dao people and others hurriedly arrived, and they were also included in it, with a total of thirty or forty people. The crowd formed a large circle, and in the middle of the circle several people stood facing each other.
Shen Yan slowly gestured, and the two of them took advantage of the rolling terrain to come to the back of a gentle slope and quietly lurked.
The wind and rain were dark, and the raindrops of soybeans hit the weeds around the two, and there was a loud sound.
