108 Chapter 39
Chu Qingliu only felt that this sentence was not a small evil, and he didn't dare to follow her into the house. But he didn't want to go away, and he felt that being able to say this was really a big burden and a lot more brisk.
The maid said to Chu Qingliu: "Chu Shaoxia, I can't get the package, and the trouble is not small." ”
Qu Lingyu said inside the door: "If you have something to say, please ask Chu Shaoxia to come in and say, it's windy outside." ”
The maid said to Chu Qingliu, "Chu Shaoxia, please come in and speak." ”
Chu Qingliu nodded, and took the opportunity to enter the house with the maid.
Qu Lingyu first glared at Chu Qingliu fiercely, and then said to the maid, "Since you can't get it, who has the package fallen into?"
The maid said: "When my subordinates found that storefront, they saw that there were many people living in it, and it was very messy. In order to be safe, I first went to the saucer to find two of our people, explained it clearly, let them pick it up, and I followed far behind. ”
Qu Lingyu snorted, noncommittal.
The maid said: "The two of them entered the inn, but they never came out, I waited for half an hour, and I knew that I couldn't wait any longer, so I came back to report the news." If the subordinates are ineffective, please punish the young lady. ”
Qu Lingyu said: "Please punish me? I often punish you, right? Am I such a bad person? If you say this, you are not afraid that Chu Shaoxia will listen to the joke?"
The maid quickly knelt down and said, "Mademoiselle never chases us, but treats us as kindly as sisters." Chu Shaoxia, Miss Qu is a rare kind-hearted young lady in the world. ”
Qu Lingyu shouted: "Don't say any more, get up." Senior brother, it seems that you have to make your own trip. The maid detailed the appearance of the two people who entered the inn to pick up the package, as well as the code signal of contact.
Chu Qingliu didn't dare to provoke her again, so he hurriedly agreed, and said, "Senior sister, it's not yet noon, if I can't come back until dark, you can ask this girl to take the master to save me." ”
Qu Lingyu said: "You said that it is dark and it is dark? I have to wait until the second watch to say it, can you manage it?"
Chu Qingliu ignored her anymore, went back to the room with the long sword, and went down the mountain to the Shuangshu Inn. Now that I knew that something had happened in the store, I didn't have to check it first, so I broke through the door and came to the counter.
When the shopkeeper saw him, he hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile on his face: "Guest, don't you have something at home?
Chu Qingliuqi said: "What's going on in my family? Who told you that there is something in my family?"
The shopkeeper said: "Hello guest, you will laugh, that is, this morning, two people came to the store, and you are a voice to the guest, saying that it is your friend, and you will pick up the stored clothes and bags on your behalf, saying that you have an urgent matter at home, and go back first." The two of them said the same thing, and they opened the package and inspected it in person, and took it away when they saw that there was no mistake. Even the money you saved in advance, I have returned it to them, and there are other people living in your room. ”
This is naturally a lie, but if you want to refute it, you can't argue clearly, and you can only delay it. Chu Qingliu said: "I rushed back because I couldn't see those two friends. ”
The shopkeeper was shocked and said, "Guest, could it be that your friend has taken your things out of the interest of money? If so, I am afraid that the things will not be recovered." ”
Chu Qingliu said with a smile: "Those two are indeed my friends, and they are absolutely reliable." I think you came up with it when you saw it, and you took my friend's life and took my clothes. He grabbed the shopkeeper and said, "It seems that we have to go to the yamen of Hengshan County to reason." ”
Shuangshu Inn is far from being able to compare with the Wangjia store where Qu Lingyu lives, but it can also be said, and it is not too far from Miaoyiguan, these days the people of the rivers and lakes are constantly coming and going, in the first two days, this store is full, only the upper room reserved by Chu Qingliu remains. The shopkeeper was very duty-bound, took a lock and locked the door of the cell, and did not want to recruit someone else to live in this house while Chu Qingliu did not come to live, and earn another share of the house money.
On the right side of this room lived a pair of brothers, and after only one night, the two noticed the empty room next door. The younger brother called the store and said that he wanted to move in. The store said that this room has been pre-reserved, and it will come back at any time, and it is inconvenient to let others live.
Senior brother has age, and there is no reluctance. The younger brother quit, saying that he snored too loudly, which would disturb the elder brother's sleep, and he would force the store to open. The store has been busy in the past few days, and he has no time to talk to him, and he will not be able to listen to it.
The younger brother was furious, and as soon as he stretched out his hand to twist the door lock, he rushed in. Seeing that he couldn't stop it, the shopkeeper hurriedly followed up, wanting to take Chu Qingliu's clothes and bags to his room for storage. The younger brother was angry, rushed over first, grabbed the bag in his hand, the shopkeeper saw it, thought he was going to rob it, so he came over to pull him, pushed and shoved, and the junior brother threw the bag into the courtyard through the door.
The force of this throw was not small, and the bag was pulled by the two of them, and when they fell, they spread out a corner, revealing the things inside. The junior brother hurriedly looked at it, then took the package to his room with the shopkeeper, closed the door and examined it carefully.
The shopkeeper saw all the things in the bag, and knew that this thing was extraordinary, plus the two brothers in front of him, he couldn't cope with any of them, so he had no choice but to hand over the bag to them, and promised that Chu Qingliu would come to pick up the bag in the future, so he would do as the two of them ordered.
They waited for three days and didn't see Chu Qingliu, but two people from the Chaos Alliance came into the store to pick up the package. The shopkeeper took the two to a remote place, and the two brothers suddenly attacked at the same time, and took the two of them and questioned them carefully. Just as he was asking, Chu Qingliu had already arrived again, and the shopkeeper came forward to talk to him on the counter with lies, and secretly signaled the female shopkeeper to go to the back to inform the pair of senior brothers. After delaying for a long time, he led Chu Qingliu to the back room.
When the senior brother saw Chu Qingliu, he hugged his fists slightly, and said with a pleasant face: "Friends, don't be angry, everything is in my hands, and it has not been lost." There are a lot of people here, it's not a place to talk, let's find a quiet place to talk. ”
Chu Qingliu said: "My two friends are also in your hands?"
The senior brother said, "It's all here." Don't worry, friends, please come to the side with me, and let's talk. ”
Chu Qingliu didn't know how many people were behind him, and what kind of arrangement he had, so how could he easily go with him? ”
Seeing that Chu Qingliu was no better than the pair of senior brothers, the shopkeeper didn't care to look at the senior brother's eyes, so he hurriedly led the way. When he came to his bedroom, he opened the door, found two chairs and invited them to sit down, made a pot of tea, and after serving the work, he said, "May I ask you two, should I go away? or just serve here?"
The senior brother said, "Friend, what do you think?"
Chu Qingliu said: "If you don't let him out, you can't find him in the store, and you must find him here." Let him go out, and he is afraid that he will talk nonsense. You're older than me, so you should have a better way. ”
The senior brother said with a smile: "My friend told me a joke, donkeys and horses are worth a lot, but they are the least valuable when they are big, and I can't eat when I am old, and I don't have any good way." "This person is tepid, he doesn't top the tank or sit on wax, and he can throw away the tall hat in his hand, which shows that he is very stable, and this kind of person is the most difficult to deal with.
Chu Qingliu said: "You still pay him first, let's talk." ”
The junior brother waved his hand to the shopkeeper and said, "You go, just go out and don't talk nonsense." As long as one more person comes in this room, even if my two brothers don't kill you, this friend will kill you. The shopkeeper repeatedly promised "not to say anything", bowed and retreated, closed the door, and stood outside the door to wait.
The senior brother said: "In the lower surname Shan, the name is Shanqi, and I also have a junior brother surnamed Huo, named Huotian, who is taking care of your friend's package in the room. We are from Maozhou, Chengdu Prefecture. I want to say that there are only two brothers who have come to Hengshan this time, can friends still be trusted?" This man is sixty years old, but he doesn't even want to use the word "old", and he really arrived home kindly.
Chu Qingliu said: "In the lower Chu Qingliu, Jiuhua Mountain Wanghaizhuang people." I have rarely been to the Sichuan and Shu areas, and this is the first time I have heard of the names of the two. When you come out to walk, you don't necessarily have to form a gang, and the two of you walk together, just right. "I don't know whether I believe it or not.
Huotian said: "Let's go around the gorge less, the name of Friend Chu has really not been heard of before." May I ask if that bag is your own, or did you give it to someone else?"
Since he was able to ask like this, Chu Qingliu no longer concealed it, and said: "It's all someone else's thing, just put it in my hand temporarily." As soon as he saw the look on his face, he knew that this bag of things was not small, so he wanted to take the opportunity to find out the origin of this thing, and he was no longer in a hurry to regain the package.
Shan Qi said, "Do you know whose thing it is?"
Chu Qingliu said: "I don't know. When they handed it to me, they didn't tell me where they came from. ”
Shan Qi said: "Friend Chu, what you said is too bizarre, can you elaborate more?"
Chu Qingliu laughed: "Friends of the mountain are easy to leak in their words, and they are not young, it seems that they should be sophisticated, but I didn't expect it to be such a disgraceful person." ”
Shan Qi's face remained unchanged, and he said, "Where did you start with this, and what did I do inappropriately?"
Chu Qingliu said: "You detain my clothes and bag and don't return it, and interrogate me carefully, can there be such a truth in the world? Is it wrong for me to say you're not a single person enough?"
Shan Qi said: "My junior brother and I have just established a small sect in Shuxi, called Dragon and Tiger Hall. The two of us have only accepted a few disciples each, and the sect is weak, and it is not easy to gain a foothold in western Sichuan. I really want to be close to the Kongtong faction, and enjoy the shade under the big tree, but every time I can't get a good face, this time I saw this bag of things, and I felt that it was a chance. We don't dare to detain this thing, we just want to use this thing to lure the owner to meet us, hoping to send a little strength to Kongtong, so that it can be close and close. ”
Chu Qingliu said: "I said before, I don't know whose thing it is, and I don't know anyone from the Kongtong faction. Our Wanghaizhuang martial arts is a Kunlun lineage, and if you want to borrow me to get close to the Kongtong faction, it is in vain. "Just shut the door and see what else he has to say.
Shan Qi said: "Friend Chu, if you talk like this, you are treating me as a fool. How could anyone give this to you for no reason?"
Chu Qingliu said indifferently: "You are still tricking me, as for me, I don't want you to trick me, so I won't tell you how this package came to me." As soon as he stretched out his hand, the long sword behind his back was unsheathed.
At the same time, Shan Qi also pulled out half of the knife from the bottom of his clothes, this knife was completely in the shape of a two-handed large knife, and in order to make it easy to carry, he cut off half of it from the middle waist.
Chu Qingliu said: "Kunlun martial arts, the most well-known is the Iron Branch Sword Technique, the qualifications are dull, the comprehension is still small, and it is difficult to show the subtlety of the Iron Branch Sword Technique. If I don't show it properly, it's because my surname Chu can't do it, but it's not that this swordsmanship has not been perfected. ”
With a movement of the tip of the sword, a piece of wax on the table was lifted, and with a twist of the wrist, the candle jumped into the air. Chu Qingliu waited until the candle fell, and the long sword in his hand swung continuously, slashing at the wax head, who wanted to swing it three times in a row, but the sword slashed into the air, and the wax head fell on the table with a soft bang. Chu Qingliu let out a long sigh and said, "The family teacher said that I was still too far behind, and it was really true. However, my sword technique is the Kunlun Iron Branch Sword Technique, and it is not false at all, have you seen it clearly?"
He slashed three swords in a row, and it seemed that the sword was empty, but in fact, each sword passed by a finger next to the wax head. With this intention, I don't know if the mountain from the west of Sichuan in front of me can be perceived, and I don't know if he can have this eyesight.
Chu Qingliu put the sword into the sheath, picked up the teacup and took a sip without saying a word.
