Chapter 3: The Big and Small Break [II]
Liu Ruiying's eyes followed the people in the investigation department upstairs.
Judging from the clothes of the leader, he is the province of the Investigation Division.
I just don't know which province it is.
However, the personnel of the Investigation Department who are working outside are either Tianmu Province like Liu Ruiying, or Tianer Province.
But no matter what, everyone is in the Investigation Division, and they can also be called friends.
It's just that Liu Ruiying has no intention of talking to them.
He only waited for Hua Nong to come back soon.
The one who came back faster than Huanon was the shopkeeper.
He was holding a heavy bag of fried chestnuts with sugar in his arms.
All the way, all the way, all the way.
Liu Ruiying picked one up and threw it in her mouth.
Suck on the syrup wrapped around the chestnut.
Then he bit down gently.
This shopkeeper is a sincere person.
The sugar-fried chestnuts he bought back were really delicious!
Although Liu Ruiying has never eaten fried chestnuts with sugar, isn't it good if she thinks it's good?
In this world, some people love sweet, and some people love sour.
But if you let people who eat spicy food look at it, I'm afraid that both of them are not delicious.
"That's good!
Liu Ruiying said with a smile.
Then a chestnut was eaten in one gulp, and his eyes looked out the window.
But out of his corner of sight, he saw a man coming down from the second floor.
The person was dressed in civilian clothes.
But the temperament of the gestures looks like a person in the investigation department.
I think it was answered in the private room upstairs earlier.
"Is my friend here alone?"
The man walked straight to Liu Ruiying's desk and asked.
Liu Ruiying was holding a wine glass to drink.
Hearing him ask this, I secretly laughed in my heart.
This is really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple.
He turned out to be the object of suspicion by the Investigation Division.
But think about it.
Just now, his gaze was staring directly at the group.
The leader is naturally relieved after saving it.
I have to send someone to probe into the past.
"No, there's one more. ”
Liu Ruiying looked at him and was about to sit opposite him.
"I see. ”
The man said.
"What's the reason for this?"
Liu Ruiying asked with a smile.
I thought to myself that this person would not be able to do anything......
How can the people recruited by the Investigation Division now be such stupid!
But he forgot.
When he first arrived at the Xiangteng Restaurant in Jiying Town.
Liu Ruiying is afraid that she is much more idiotic and stupid than the person in front of her.
People change.
However, the process of change can be long or short.
Some people don't have an epiphany until they die, and some people go through some ups and downs before they get touched.
"I just feel that my friends are heroic, and I have the heart to make friends. ”
The man clenched his fists and said.
Liu Ruiying was really in no mood to entangle with him anymore.
Stretched out his finger and pointed upward.
Then he dipped his hand in the wine and wrote the word 'check' on the table.
Then he pointed at himself.
The man froze at first, then reflected.
He didn't say anything more, bowed down, nodded, and went back to the second floor.
This little episode is a break.
Liu Ruiying felt a little bored again.
The wine is ice.
It seems that this restaurant must have a wine cellar.
The cellar is still very deep.
Otherwise, the wine wouldn't be so cold.
But the chestnuts fried in sugar are hot.
It's still steaming.
Liu Ruiying was eating and drinking like this, and her mouth was like ice and fire.
The wine is spicy.
Chestnut sweet.
Isn't this just like his own state of mind?
Whenever I think of that person, I can always evoke a lot of softness in him.
But when I came back to my senses, what I was about to face was fierce and bloody.
"Please also ask the seniors to go upstairs to talk!"
As soon as Liu Ruiying looked up, it was the person from before who had gone and returned.
He frowned, already impatient.
But he was reluctant to reveal his identity in this restaurant.
It's okay, so it's okay to go upstairs with him.
Anyway, Hua Nong hasn't come back yet.
After standing up, Liu Ruiying straightened the pockets in his shirt.
In addition to containing a copy of "Seven Absolute Flame Sword", it also has its own provincial official certificate.
Having such a thing is enough to prove your identity.
"Why did Your Excellency pretend to be the person of my Investigation Division, don't you know that this is a crime to be sent to prison?"
As soon as he walked through the door of the private room, the first person who sat in the first place asked.
"How can you tell I'm impersonating?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
I am the provincial flag.
was already a rank above him.
What's more, his current title as the special envoy to the northwest of the Investigation Department has not been withdrawn.
His status is equivalent to that of the provincial patrol of Tianmu Province.
But there is no need to be polite to them.
"What province do you belong to, and what position do you have?"
The omit asked.
"Provincial flag of Tianmu Province, Liu Ruiying. ”
There is no evidence.
Liu Ruiying said and took out his official credentials and threw them on the table.
The provincial governor immediately stood up in shock when he saw the appearance of the official.
But to be on the safe side, I opened it and looked at it.
"I didn't expect it to be Lord Liu Xingqi, who offended me!"
Save yourself from bowing and making amends.
The rest of the people waited to apologize together.
"It's okay, those who don't know are not to blame. What's more, your alertness is really good. I just looked at two more things when you went upstairs, and you were suspicious!"
Liu Ruiying said.
"It's also about being careful. After all, our Investigation Division has made a lot of enemies in the rivers and lakes. Be a little more careful, not only will you be safe, but you will also have the opportunity to eat two more meals and drink a few more glasses of wine!"
The man said.
I scratched the back of my head embarrassedly.
"What's your name, and what province is it from?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"Save in the Lower Tianmu Province, Dong Yi!"
The man said.
Liu Ruiying nodded, turned around and prepared to leave.
Each team in the Investigation Division of the Central Metropolitan has its own mission and mission.
Even internally, it must not be revealed.
Unexpectedly, this winter was also a kind invitation to Liu Ruiying to drink and talk together.
He also gave up the throne to him.
Liu Ruiying couldn't resist the other party's hospitality, so she had to sit down half-pushing.
At the same time, call Xiao Er.
Describe the characteristics of Na Hua Non.
If he saw him enter, let him wait for him at the head of his seat.
After thinking about it, I felt that Hua Nong definitely wouldn't order.
He also said to Xiao Er, pick five or six of their signature dishes, but they must be meat-based.
Liu Ruiying sat with her back to the window and facing the door.
He didn't know much about what was happening on the street behind him.
But in the full table, only the self-proclaimed Dong Yi had a good conversation with himself.
The rest of the people seemed to have extremely serious concerns.
Look out the window every now and then.
Drink all the jugs of wine.
Liu Ruiying suddenly heard a gong sound outside the window.
This is the opening gong of the dart game.
When the gong sounded, everyone gave a convenience and avoided three points.
If someone does not avoid it, the person who bets the dart game can be regarded as the person who robs the dart.
Even if he was killed, the state capitals would not be able to punish him for homicide.
When the gong stops, it means that the dart team is going to stop playing or stay in the hotel.
The sound of the gong stopped directly behind Liu Ruiying.
It seems that he is also going to enter this restaurant.
The moment the gong stopped.
Liu Ruiying's face froze when she saw this person named Dong Yi.
But then there was a return to normalcy.
continued to persuade Liu Ruiying to drink.
Liu Ruiying is naturally smiling, and caters to them no matter what she says.
Strangely, this starts with hearing the gong and after it stops.
Those who were preoccupied before were all cheerful.
is also frequently toasted, and constantly saying flattering words.
But there was not a word about the investigation department.
Liu Ruiying took advantage of the gap of clinking glasses and turned his head to look out.
It was discovered that this dart was no ordinary dart game.
It is the personal soldier of Shangguan Yao Xu, the king of Zhenbei.
There are eighteen large boxes in total.
Each box is also affixed with a cross seal.
I don't know what it matters to be.
It's no wonder they stay in the best inn in town.
The general dart game is not so magnanimous.
At this moment, the provincial one accidentally knocked off the chopsticks.
However, it was Liu Ruiying's chopsticks that were knocked off.
When Liu Ruiying lowered his head and was about to pick it up, he found that there was still a layer of robe in their official uniforms of the Investigation Division.
This made Liu Ruiying very puzzled.
Who will keep a casual robe inside after passing on the provincial official clothes?
If it's cold, it's understandable.
But Liu Ruiying came out of Bogulou on the way, but it became warmer and warmer.
When you get to this town, if you don't have some wind.
It's even a little stuffy.
Even the merchant under the sun on the street couldn't stop fanning his fan.
A towel hanging around his neck must also be used to wipe sweat.
After discovering this abnormality, Liu Ruiying did not move.
Continue to chat with them and have a drink.
It seems to be a full table of praise, which is very useful.
And a long time passed.
Liu Ruiying finally left this private room on the pretext that she was not strong enough to drink.
He staggered down the stairs.
When I went downstairs, I saw Hua Nong sitting alone at the table and eating.
And around his neck, there was that string of gold beads.
Liu Ruiying also heard it.
The door to the private room upstairs closed only after he had gone down completely.
It can be seen that someone has been staring at him.
"Why didn't the gold beads be sent out, but hung around my neck?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"You told me to go to the poor. ”
Hua Nong held the sheep's hoof in one hand and was gnawing.
"That's right. You didn't find it?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"I looked for it. And look very carefully!"
Hua Nong said.
"How carefully?"
"I've walked the whole town!"
Hua Nong said.
His tone was very serious, as if he could not tolerate the doubts of others.
"It's not careful. It's easy to look around. You have to step on your heart and you will find it. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
"I'm not done yet. ”
Hua Nong finally finished eating a sheep's hoof.
He wiped his mouth and turned to the other one.
"I'm listening. ”
Liu Ruiying ate a sugar-fried chestnut.
But at this time, the sugar-fried chestnuts also cooled.
It's the same as the drink.
As soon as the chestnuts are fried in sugar, that layer of syrup will form a hard shell.
The surface of the chestnut will also dry and peel.
But it didn't taste good at all.
Liu Ruiying ate two in disappointment, and sure enough, it was the same as chewing wax.
So he threw the remaining half of the bag of sugar-fried chestnuts out of the window.
Unexpectedly, it was quickly picked up by a little beggar.
As soon as he slipped through the smoke, he turned into an alley and disappeared. "You see, when I throw away a bag of sugar-fried chestnuts, I can meet the poor. You said that you searched the town carefully, but you didn't find it?"
Liu Ruiying said.
He was somewhat dissatisfied.
Hua Nong may not be able to deceive people, but he may really be reluctant to bear this string of gold beads.
But if his strength is only such a string of gold beads, then he has no responsibilities and obligations that he needs to fulfill.
Just repair the book and tell Xiao Jinkan.
Presumably he wouldn't blame himself.
If you want to blame, you can only blame him for his own clumsiness.
"Did you say that man was poor?"
Hua Nong's eyes widened, pointing in the direction where the little beggar had disappeared.
"Beggars are not poor, I am afraid that there are no poor people in the world. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
"I've seen a lot of people like this along the way. They are able-bodied and not stupid. The words and sentences spoken in the mouth are all set in a set, and they rhyme very much. It's just that my clothes are a little torn, and I just sit on the side of the road. I really don't see anything poor about them. ”
Hua Nong said.
Liu Ruiying was silent.
What Hua Nong said is indeed true.
How many people in this world put down their faces and stretched out their hands to beg for food, just because they were lazy?
Too lazy to just be willing to get something for nothing.
Women may also be able to sell themselves in brothels.
But the man could only squat on the side of the road, knocking on a broken bowl and waiting for someone to eat.
"What would you do if you were them?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"What's the good thing about squatting on the side of the road?"
Hua Nong said very naturally.
"The question is. They don't have your ability to survive in the mountains. First of all, they did not have swords. And even if you have a sword, it won't be as fast as yours. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
"My sword is very fast!"
Hua Nong said with a hearty smile.
He licked his fingers.
It seems that he wants to eat the last bit of meat that sticks to his hands.
Then he picked up a large piece of beef in sauce.
"Little Er!"
Liu Ruiying saw that this plate of sauced beef was not cut, but a whole piece was placed on the plate.
"What do you command, guest officer?"
Xiao Er saw Liu Ruiying greeting him, and immediately ran over and said.
I saw Liu Ruiying go up to the private room on the second floor before, and I knew that his identity was not ordinary.
So on the basis of the previous courtesy, he became more respectful.
Money and power.
People have to have the same.
Those who claim to be high will either starve to death without money to buy food, or die of illness without money to get medicine.
In any case, it will not end too well.
Although Liu Ruiying doesn't talk about money, she doesn't love power.
But his trip also brought the convenience of money and power to the real thing.
"Why don't you cut this plate of beef in sauce?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"This ...... This friend of yours asked for it. He told him not to cut it, just come up in whole pieces. ”
Xiao Er said.
Liu Ruiying looked at Hua Nong munching on meat, and she was helpless.
I had to wave my hand and let Xiao Er retreat.
"So those people don't have a sword, and they are not as fast as yours. If they go into the mountains, will they not bring food to the beasts of prey?"
Liu Ruiying said.
After hearing this, Hua Nong put down the beef in his hand.
"My sword wasn't as fast as it was in the beginning. ”
Hua Nong loosened his shirt after speaking.
Exposed his chest.
The slightly dark skin is densely covered with scars.
"This is a wolf's paw print, this is half of the tiger's tooth bitten in, this is the most ridiculous, it is the ...... that has been pecked by birds"
Hua Nong pointed to these scars and said to Liu Ruiying one by one.
"Alas......"
Liu Ruiying sighed.
He already understood what Hua Nong meant.
His sword wasn't as fast as it was to begin with.
It's getting faster and faster between life and death fights again and again.
It's not the same as three halves of wine.
Both are self-taught in nature, though.
But the life of three and a half wines is still much more leisurely and chic.
At least have a house to live in, and you don't have to worry about hunger for three meals a day.
It is precisely because of this that the man of the wine three halves is as elegant as his sword.
But Huanon is not.
In his eyes.
There is only life and death.
Therefore, in his eyes, all poverty can be changed through his own struggle.
He let him go and find the poor man, and scattered the gold beads.
It's really a little difficult for him.
"Do you feel good about living like this now?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"Of course! There was meat to eat, and there were people talking. I saw things I hadn't seen before!"
Hua Nong said.
But he began to deal with the uneaten piece of sauce beef in his hand again.
Liu Ruiying nodded.
There is always a process for a person to accept something new.
Although everyone is a passer-by in this world.
But this passerby is the most particular about first-come, first-served.
Liu Ruiying is now Hua Nong's leader in this world.
Soon.
But the restaurant suddenly became lively.
The group of soldiers of the King of Zhenbei who were darts walked into the restaurant.
They put down their sabers and took off their shackles.
shouted at the second shopkeeper to serve wine and food.
Liu Ruiying shook her head helplessly.
If you swap his identity with those pro-soldiers.
I definitely wouldn't be so ostentatious.
Although this is the boundary of the Zhenbei King Domain.
But since it was escorted by personal soldiers, the contents of the eighteen boxes must be extremely important.
If you are so swaggering, you may be remembered.
You must know that a lot of malice is instantaneous.
Perhaps he was originally a well-known good man.
But with evil thoughts, even I can't control myself.
