Chapter 80: A Leap of Dawn [II]
Liu Ruiying was drinking with her head down, and she didn't notice what was happening at the door.
It wasn't until he saw that the proprietress had stopped paying for it, and then he glanced slightly towards the door.
"How many?"
The proprietress asked, sitting back at the table.
Playing with a wine glass in his hand.
Of course, the previous happy attitude was not possible, but it turned into an indifference that Liu Ruiying had never seen.
There was a man standing in the doorway.
A middle-aged man wearing a black robe and a felt hat covered by this face.
Middle-aged man, this is Liu Ruiying's most direct feeling when she sees this person.
Although he was blindfolded, he couldn't see his face clearly, and he had no way of knowing his age and gender.
But that's how Liu Ruiying felt.
He also wears a pair of thick leather gloves on his hands.
There is no exposed part of the whole body except for a pair of eyes.
It's not just hiding from something.
The boss's question was also weirdly tight......
Obviously, as soon as I opened the door, I saw that there was only one person on the other side.
And why bother asking such nonsense?
Of course, the man didn't answer.
Because he was alone.
But he didn't step into the hall, he just stood in the doorway, his eyes staring straight inside.
The gaze was not focused on anyone in the hall.
It's not on the boss's wife, it's not on Liu Ruiying's, it's not on Xu Laosi's.
"If you're looking for someone, come early tomorrow. ”
The proprietress said.
"Are you Qingnian?"
The man asked.
This sentence was said at the same time as the proprietress words, which made people a little inaudible.
But when she heard the word 'Qingnian', the proprietress paused for half of the wine before swallowing it.
Qingnian is the real name of the proprietress.
For so many years, no one has shouted.
Maybe even she doesn't remember a little bit, but it's her name.
But he was suddenly called out by a stranger, but in an instant, all the previous memories were awakened from the bottom of his heart.
"I am. ”
The proprietress said.
Such a frank answer was obviously unexpected by this person.
Liu Ruiying saw the felt hat on his head move slightly, obviously because of his frowning.
"Are you really Qingnian?"
The man asked again.
The proprietress smiled.
Liu Ruiying also smiled.
Now it's reached a point where no one believes the truth.
Maybe it's not that no one believes the truth, but the boss lady answers too happily, so that the other party really can't believe it.
"If you don't believe me, you can call me anything! But the name I'm used to hearing is the boss. ”
The proprietress said.
Then he stretched.
The man stood motionless, as if he was thinking about something.
The proprietress and Liu Japanese didn't pay attention to it, just drinking the wine in front of them.
Xu Laosi on the side was very interested in this person, and he was measuring his body at this time, and he looked at him motionlessly.
"You know?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"I don't know. ”
Xu Laosi shook his head and said.
"Then why are you so engrossed?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"This man has never seen this man before. I'm fascinated by every newcomer to the mine. ”
Xu Laosi said.
"You saw me that way, too?"
Liu Ruiying Q&A.
"Nope. ”
Xu Laosi replied.
His answers were always slick and concise.
Liu Ruiying was a little displeased......
Isn't this Xu Laosi Mo holding himself to make a joke?
Earlier, he clearly said that he would be very attentive to every newcomer to the mine.
Why is this sentence on Liu Ruiying, but it doesn't work again?
Liu Ruiying didn't ask again.
But his face was full of doubts, and he was not afraid that Xu Laosi would not be able to see it.
"Because from the first day you came here, I knew you were going to leave sooner or later. ”
Xu Laosi continued.
He really saw Liu Ruiying's doubts.
"Where do you see that?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"And he's different......"
Xu Laosi did not answer Liu Ruiying's question, but turned the conversation around and turned to the middle-aged man at the door again.
"Could it be that he's been here for a long time?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
Xu Laosi still didn't answer.
But the expression on his face gradually began to be full of doubts.
"I could feel that he seemed to be around for a long time...... Even if it's not as long as me, it's pretty much the same. But why have I never seen him?"
Xu Laosi muttered to himself.
"You think you know all the people here?"
Liu Ruiying asked teasingly.
saw Xu Laosi nodding heavily.
This made Liu Ruiying suddenly feel speechless......
I thought that Xu Laosi was a cautious and honest man, but I didn't expect him to be so ashamed.
"This is the mine, it's a place where birds don't poop. If this is the middle capital, I would definitely be bragging, but this is a mine, not a middle capital, and I never brag. ”
Xu Laosi turned his head and said to this Liu Ruiying.
Liu Ruiying could only nod.
What else is there to say?
Xu Laosi's words are reasonable, not to mention that his understanding of this mine is certainly not behind him.
As for whether to brag or not, Liu Ruiying has no way to confirm it.
But at this moment, the man at the door took a step and walked over the hall.
The man walked in an extremely strange way......
When a normal person walks, his arms will swing a little.
But he walked, but his arms did not move.
Not only his arms, but even his entire upper body could not see any signs of trembling.
If it weren't for the fact that he was getting closer and closer to Liu Ruiying and the others, I am afraid that he would still feel that he was standing in place, as if he had not moved in the slightest.
"Bang!"
Unexpectedly, the speed under this person's feet was accelerated by Zou Ran.
In an instant, he came to the table, the black robe flickered, and the cold light appeared.
Liu Ruiying hurriedly got up to dodge, but the cold light was sure to be on the table, and then dissipated.
"This chapter table, three hundred taels!"
The proprietress said.
She stretched out an arm, three inches across the table.
The cold light that burst out of this person's body was a scimitar in his hand.
He held the knife in his left hand and slashed it vertically at the tabletop, but he was stopped by the proprietress with her arm.
Liu Ruiying knew that this was because there was a knife hidden in the sleeve of the boss's arm.
Otherwise, how dare she only stretch out one arm to resist?
The scimitar in this man's hand did not have a large arc.
After Liu Ruiying came to the Zhenbei Royal Domain, this was the second time he saw the scimitar.
His scimitar, compared to Jing Yao's, is much more delicate.
The tip of the knife is also upward, but it will never exceed one finger.
However, the tip of Jing Yao's knife can be used as a barb.
However, when Liu Ruiying saw this scimitar, his first reaction was still to regard this person as a prairie man.
Coupled with the fact that he is so deliberately trying to shade his figure, it is even more suspicious.
"Who are you?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"He's here for me, and it's none of your business. ”
The proprietress said.
Although Liu Ruiying did not answer, she did not leave.
On the contrary, Xu Laosi was still sitting there calmly.
Even when the sword flashed, his body didn't move.
The man's gaze froze slightly.
Carefully observe this arm of the proprietress .
A "zila" sounded.
The proprietress twitched her arm.
The sleeve snapped along the cutlass where it slashed.
Half of the lotus root arm and a slender knife tied to it were revealed.
"Knife in the sleeve?"
The man said.
"Isn't Qing Nian worthy of using this sleeve knife?"
The hostess asked.
"No, it is precisely because of this sleeve knife that I dare to be sure that you are Qingnian. ”
The man said.
"It seems that you and understand me?"
The hostess asked.
"I can't talk about ......"
The man put away the knife and said.
"Since you can't talk about it, how do you know that it's Qing Nian who uses the knife in your sleeve?"
The hostess asked.
"Naturally, someone told me. ”
The man said.
"I've never used this knife in my sleeve in front of a public. I really can't believe what you say. ”
The proprietress said.
"So how can you believe it?"
The man asked.
This person is obviously not good here, Liu Ruiying watched him and the boss lady ask and answer like this, but there is another strange thing that cannot be explained......
"You care a lot if people believe you?"
The hostess asked.
"Of course, don't you care?"
The man asked.
"I don't care...... If you don't believe I'm Qingnian, I don't care. If a person doesn't care who she is, what can she care?"
The proprietress said.
"Even if a person doesn't even care who he is, he still cares whether others trust him. ”
The man said.
"It's been a long time since I've seen anyone fight against me like this! If you hadn't moved the knife first, I would have treated you to a drink!"
The proprietress said.
"It's been a long time since I've seen a person who doesn't even care who he is like me, and if I hadn't promised someone else to kill you, I would have asked you for a drink!"
The man said.
Liu Ruiying saw that the corners of his eyes were crooked, as if he was smiling.
"So your trust at this moment is to kill me?"
The hostess asked.
"That's right. Trust is not to be disappointed!"
The man said.
"For money, or for something else?"
The hostess asked.
"I'm not short of money. ”
The man said.
The proprietress took a closer look at the person in front of her.
Although the whole body is black, the texture of the black robe and felt hat is very precious.
If it is placed in the Zhenbei Royal Domain, it is estimated that it can only be bought in the Imperial City.
Such a large number of people say that he is not short of money, and perhaps this is true.
"That is, this person is very important to you, so he asks you to do it no matter what!"
The proprietress said.
"Of course she's important to me. But more importantly, she trusted me...... You have to know that the first feeling when people first meet is very important. ”
The man said.
The proprietress agreed with this, so he nodded.
Not only the proprietress but also Liu Ruiying felt that what this person said was right.
Some people don't know each other, but they feel extremely attached when they only see one side.
After three glasses and two glasses of light wine, maybe you will become a confidant in this life.
But this kind of feeling comes quickly, but it also comes quickly.
I hate not to meet people, once we meet, it is either happy or regretful.
Feelings are still a water mill, you have to understand step by step, and you can go deeper.
The more you know, the more inclusive you are.
When both parties understand a certain point, they will be able to tolerate each other.
So Liu Ruiying has never believed in love at first sight.
But in his heart, there is already a shadow.
Whenever I think of this shadow, no matter where I am, I can feel the comfort of a fresh breeze.
and the person reflected in the shadow is soft, but it is not the heart and principle.
Walking in this filthy world, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and he can always keep his share of peace and beauty.
It seems to be very conservative to say this, but Liu Ruiying clearly knows that she is not an old and serious person.
is like a magnolia blooming on her fingers in spring, although it may not be a delicate girl, but it will definitely be out of the ordinary.
or long hair to the waist or long skirts tucked to the ground, this kind of indifference always makes people feel at ease at a glance.
"So from the first time you and that man met, he didn't believe you. ”
The proprietress said.
"Alas......"
The man didn't speak, but let out a long sigh.
It is mixed with countless and inexplicable regrets and regrets......
"It was just a joke at first, who would have thought she would take it seriously?"
The man continued.
Liu Ruiying felt that this person should not be a person who talked a lot and was verbose.
But since he made that stab, his mouth hasn't stopped for a moment.
Maybe it was the topic that the proprietress talked about with him happened to be the part of his heart that he wanted to share the most, which made him unable to stop his chatterbox.
"If it were me, I would have responded to you with a joke. ”
The proprietress said.
And that's exactly what she did...... I have to say, it's really not a family, don't enter a family!"
The man said.
After speaking, he tilted his head and looked at the somewhat haggard face of the proprietress.
"I know who you're talking about. You don't have to look, I don't look like her!"
The proprietress said.
"Of course not!"
The man said.
The tone was very proud and contemptuous.
"There's no reason to look like that. ”
The proprietress said.
Liu Ruiying heard it in a fog......
The proprietress and this person are not familiar with each other, but they have endless words.
However, he could hear that the proprietress was afraid that there was a lot of entanglement with this person......
The man nodded, and the knife in his hand was raised again.
He slashed at the side of the knife in the boss's sleeve.
Although the knife is not as flexible and light as the sword.
But it should also be a knife at the other party's dead end.
But this person is aimed at the knife in the sleeve of the boss lady, and this knife will definitely be in vain.
Although Liu Ruiying has not seen it, the proprietress said that they Qingfu's shadow slashing knife.
I don't know how she changed after she combined the three styles of the shadow slashing knife.
But the proprietress is really not weak in this sleeve knife.
At least the last time they fought in the Moon Flute's room, the Taal Lake Moon Flute teamed up and couldn't get half of the benefits.
The proprietress saw the knife light coming, and she still couldn't help but be dissatisfied.
He still has a wine glass in his hand.
There was still half a glass of wine in the glass that I hadn't finished.
She just raised her arm with the knife in her sleeve, and waited silently for the moment when the blades met.
And the half glass of wine was drunk in her stomach the moment the man's scimitar touched her own sleeve knife.
The proprietress put down her glass and stuck out her tongue to add a circle along her lips.
Immediately took the case, kicked out a leg under the skirt, but did not use a knife.
The kick was out, the instep was straight, but the toe was like a sharp sword, and it was straight to the throat of the person.
The figure was not moving.
The left shoulder is gently raised.
The deflection flashed the kick, and the knife in his hand was retracted backwards.
Half of the proprietress is in the air, and there is nowhere to borrow strength.
This man's knife only needs to be raised upwards to cut off the entire leg of the old father and mother in an instant.
But this person's plan, how can the boss lady know?
She had already hidden the arm with the knife in her sleeve under her leg when the other party put away the knife.
In addition, there is a skirt covering, but it is enough to dazzle the other party, and it is not real.
Who would have thought that this person didn't think about attacking Ling Ran on the way to collect the knife.
The knife was received in front of him, and his body also jumped backwards, and suddenly opened a distance from the proprietress for a while.
"When will Qingfu still have a leg method?"
The man asked very differently
"Qingfu only has knife skills, but why can't I know how to use legs?"
The proprietress said.
"The Shadow Slashing Knife is already so powerful, why do you need a leg technique?"
The man asked.
"I don't practice my legs to be sharp, but to look good!"
The proprietress said.
This leg method can make the legs straighter and more beautiful.
If the muscles in the legs become more visible, the night pot looks younger.
The proprietress heard this recipe from somewhere, but she actually did it.
If you have to choose between becoming powerful and becoming beautiful, every woman will definitely choose the latter.
"You're so good-looking!"
The man said.
Mom and Dad smiled.
"But I'm still going to kill you!"
The man continued.
"It must have been because I didn't tell you that the man you killed me was good-looking. ”
The proprietress said with a smile.
The man nodded.
Between the words, the knife in the sleeve hidden by the proprietress in the skirt under her legs showed its edge.
Although Liu Ruiying didn't understand the conversation between the two of them, she could also know that they must have a deep entanglement.
"Who is this man?"
A voice came from behind Liu Ruiying.
But it was Yuedi who went downstairs.
He was also followed by Hua Nong.
"I don't know, when I came, I said I wanted to kill her. ”
Liu Ruiying pointed to the proprietress and said.
"It's so easy to say to kill people......"
Yuedi said contemptuously.
"Killing is easier said than done......"
Liu Ruiying said with emotion.
Now he has also killed people, but he is also qualified to show off like this.
"You've been talking to her for so long, but what do you know?"
Yuedi asked.
"I know he's the young lady of Qingfu. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
"What else?"
Yuedi asked.
"I also know that their Qingfu's shadow slashing knife seems to be very powerful. ”
Liu Ruiying said.
"What else?"
Yuedi asked persistently.
"And then there'...... Only then did I know that her real name is Qingnian!"
Liu Ruiying scratched her head embarrassedly and said.
Although he seems to have chatted with the proprietress for a long time, he doesn't know as much about the proprietress as he does about Xu Laosi.
"They're coming soon, too. ”
Yuedi said.
"Who?"
Liu Ruiying's eyes lit up.
He already had an idea in his mind, but he still wanted to confirm it.
"Jin Peng. The Investigation Department of the Central Capital has ordered him to assist with the matter of salary. In his style, I'm here again, and I won't delay for a moment. ”
Yuedi said.
