Pick up the trap
Xiao Yan has never been a superstitious person, and he still hasn't.
However, what had happened these days, and what had happened in connection with his past, was no longer unbelievable.
If a man is going to die tonight, what should he do to kill time?
Xiao Yan didn't know that he didn't have the indulgent and open-minded minds of the heroes, and he couldn't still enjoy the flowers, drink, and be merry when he was in danger. So he thought of the simplest way - find a place to drink slowly, drink until tomorrow, I will not move, get drunk and rest, and wait until I am confused and unconscious, and then see whether the hexagram is fulfilled or not?
Even though he doesn't have much appetite right now, reason tells him that after a day of sleep, it's always time to go get something to eat......
At this time, the sun is already in the west, and the sky above Shouzhou City is full of wind and sunshine, birds and flowers, and it is completely impossible to see what big things will happen.
Xiao Yan walked on the road a little dejected, and in a daze, he had already passed through the city gate and came to the main street.
Coincidentally, those officers and soldiers guarding the city gate and the Iron Bull Gang were only focused on finding out the people who went out of the city, but they were a little careless about the people who entered the city, plus Xiao Yan was dressed plainly and his expression was low-key, so he was not discovered at all.
He walked on the street blankly, turning corners and alleys, and unconsciously walked into a small alley that he had never seen before.
Through a blackened and greasy signboard, he entered a dark and damp inn, and then found a place to sit down without saying a word, and started to be stunned by himself.
If it was a more lively scene, his silent and low-key behavior would inevitably be ignored by the store, but fortunately, this store was too remote and cheesy, and there were only four or five diners drinking sullen wine inside, so the yawning runner easily spotted him:
"May I ask this little brother, are you playing a sharp game or staying in a hotel?"
"A plate of peanuts, a pot of wine, half a roast chicken. Xiao Yan leaned on the table and said expressionlessly.
"I'm sorry," the runner rubbed his nose and said with a trick: "We don't sell half a roast chicken here, why don't we give you the whole one?"
Xiao Yan was stunned, didn't say anything, just shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to eat one, so I don't want it......"
"Don't want it?" The guy who ran the hall frowned and bargained: "Otherwise, I'll change you to a smaller one, charge less, and make sure you can eat - you think it's okay?"
"No, not anymore. Xiao Yan shook his head lazily.
The runner suddenly showed a disdainful expression, because in this way, the most valuable chicken could not be sold, how much can a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts be worth?
So his attitude immediately became perfunctory, grinding, procrastinating, obviously there was nothing to be busy with, and he didn't bring things to the table for a long time.
Xiao Yan understood in his heart, but he didn't want to argue with him too much, he was not impatient, he was not in a hurry, he was not urging, and finally grinded to the point that even the store himself was a little embarrassed, so he brought the peanuts and the wine pot and wine glass.
Although Xiao Yan is not an old wine worm, when he drank the turbid wine in the cup for the first time, he found that it was mixed with water, and it was too much, and there was no taste of wine at all. He pinched the cup, but finally laughed:
"Isn't it, shopkeeper, it's just a pot of wine for a few pennies, as for so much water?"
The guy who ran the hall was not polite, and while snorting melon seeds, he replied unceremoniously: "Look at your down-and-out appearance, how do I know if you can afford to pay for wine?"
When Xiao Yan heard this, he couldn't help but feel very funny: "I said little brother, you are not one of those Jinlou Yuyu who specializes in Qiong Yao's fine wine, if you are not a down-and-out person, how can you come to you?"
Although he didn't have those gold ingots on his body, he still had the silver taels left over from the pawn jade pendant before, and he immediately auctioned out two taels of broken silver.
The general who ran the hall took the silver suspiciously, took a bite, and then changed to a flattering appearance: "Okay, wait a minute, let's change the wine for you!"
In less than a moment, a plate of crispy, golden peanuts and a pot of spirits with a rich sauce were served.
Drink - the spicy feeling rushes from the chest and abdomen to the top of the head, making people dizzy, and only exhaling white breath, this is the liquor that the Jianghu men want!
When the liquor entered his throat, the pain in his lower abdomen and the feeling of coughing were suddenly alleviated, Xiao Yan only felt very happy, and soon drank a pot of wine cleanly, not a drop left, and the store was also quick-eyed, and in a blink of an eye, he poured a full pot.
He originally had such an idea, since the old gentleman said that he couldn't avoid trouble, it was better to wait until the night, and take the initiative to find Tie Shengbiao or Hua Niangzi to see how to die?
But now he is getting more and more addicted to drinking, one pot after another, he is already slightly drunk with pleasure, and he is not drunk at all, which makes Xiao Yan forget all his plans and only indulge in the dizzy pleasure by himself.
Before you know it, the sunset has been completely immersed, and the tavern is lit with oil lamps. As soon as the night came, the number of drinkers gradually increased, and for a while, the deserted tavern was also lively with chattering and drinking.
Xiao Yan shook his head and walked a little further away from the door, reached out and took off his pants, and put water on the moss-covered wall, whistling happily in his mouth.
There were two people walking side by side at the other end of the alley, and it was not surprising to see someone peeing in the dark night. On the contrary, when the two of them passed by Xiao Yan, they were recognized by the latter by a spirit-
The Iron Bull Gang!
Why is it so sure? Because one of the men still had a large plaster on his nose, which was the masterpiece of Xiao Yan and Qi Zehui.
Fortunately, the light was dim, and the two men did not suspect it, and walked into the tavern on their own, scolding and scolding along the way, as if they were very unhappy.
At this time, Xiao Yan had already woken up for seven minutes from ten points of wine, and immediately lifted his pants and followed without thinking about it.
The two seemed to be regular customers of the tavern, and as soon as they entered the door, they were respectfully invited to the private room upstairs by the guy who ran the hall - in fact, the space was slightly larger and there was a wooden door, and the smell was still the same dirty.
Xiao Yan sneered, the people of the Iron Bull Gang were also thrifty, and immediately discharged a few taels of silver, pretending to be drunk and disgusted that the downstairs was too noisy, and was also invited upstairs by the fart who ran to the hall with wine and food, Xiao Yan pretended to stumble and stumbled into the room next to the two.
After fooling away the hall, Xiao Yan immediately jumped up from the state of pretending to be asleep, and seeing that there was no one else, he immediately tiptoed to lock the door of the house, and then held his breath and pressed his ear against the potholed earthen wall.
Sure enough, the voices of the two people next door were not deliberately suppressed, and they could be heard clearly through this thin earthen wall.
Unexpectedly, the first sentence I heard was the man scolding:
"Damn! Originally, the gang leader had just sold that batch of goods today, and the big guy was happy, but I didn't expect that when I went to Luanfeng Tower again, the bitch surnamed Hua had already left......!
What? Has the flower lady already left Shouzhou? Xiao Yan was shocked when he heard this, fortunately he didn't go to Luanfeng Tower again today, otherwise he would not only have to run for nothing, but also collide with Tie Shengbiao and his party on the territory of Vientiane Pavilion.
It seems that the "batch of goods" in their mouths is what the flower lady is interested in, right?
"Hey, I said brother, you don't have to worry too much about this, anyway, the money is also obtained by our helper, and it doesn't matter if it's gone!" Another person said, "The most annoying thing is still those two boys! If it weren't for the good things he did to the helper that day, presumably my brother, the right-hand men of your helpers can also follow the light of the flower girl~ Tut-tut......"
Next, Xiao Yan frowned and listened to a long paragraph of the two of them's lewd words about the beauty of the flower lady, and was about to give up, only then did he hear the man say:
“...... Damn, those two boys are angry, but they can't escape tonight!"
"Brother, do you have news of those two little cubs?"
"Of course, but the gang leader hasn't let a few of us tell you the news yet, and today my brother told you with the strength of wine, can't you tell anyone about it?" the man said with a wine burp.
"Nature, nature!"
"Okay, you listen well," the man lowered his voice, "After a whole day of investigation, I finally found one of them, which is hidden in a small inn at the end of Ninth Street, although I don't see the other person, but it must be there, and I can't go wrong!
"Amazing, this trick is really high!"
"That's nature, in the face of these two boys, you can't be soft!" The man seemed to drink a glass of wine, and then "ha", smacked his lips and said:
"Calculate the time, I should be going to do it soon-"
Boom!
The sudden loud knocking of the door in the next room startled the two gangs, and they hurriedly dropped their wine glasses and went out to look, only to find that many diners, tables and chairs upstairs and upstairs had been knocked to the ground, and they were scolding and rubbing their bodies, but the person who caused all this was gone.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"Hehe, I don't know," the man scratched his head, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I guess it's a guy who doesn't have long eyes who drank too much and went crazy with alcohol, oh, damn it, scare Lao Tzu - come on, continue to drink and drink!"
......
Nine Street, Nine Street, you have to go to Nine Street immediately!
Xiao Yan ran down the street in a daze, knocking over many pedestrians and vendors along the way, but he didn't have time to say sorry, so he had to speed up and run wildly in the direction of Ninth Street.
Although he was still a little angry at Qi Zehui's actions in his heart, if the latter wanted to exchange his life, Xiao Yan was absolutely unwilling. Anyway, the two of them are also brothers who have played since childhood, and they have quarreled and fought many times over the years, and once they went too far, and the two of them ignored each other for three months - despite this, once it really involves the safety of the other party, no matter which one of them, the other person will not hesitate to stand up regardless of the previous suspicions!
At this time, Xiao Yan was only a pity that he did not have a silver-maned white horse like Zhang Wang Hu Ji to walk, nor did he have the ethereal light skills of the "Yama Sword" Ke Yan, so he could only rampage with a pair of meat legs.
Soon, the streets of the Ninth Street appeared in front of him, Xiao Yan turned over the upper room, from the roof of the street to the end of the street, and sure enough, he found a lot of firewood around the last house, his heart beat more and more rapidly, and he could almost see the gunpowder hidden underneath!
Damn, really hateful! Xiao Yan looked around, and sure enough, he saw two or three secret sentinels of the Iron Bull Gang, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth, but he didn't know if they were about to do it, Qi Zehui might still be sleeping in the room! The top priority was to bring him out of the house immediately.
Otherwise, once the gunpowder is ignited, the explosion caused is no joke!
The situation was urgent, and he couldn't help but think about it, Xiao Yan immediately took a few steps back, and then took advantage of the fact that the people of the Iron Bull Gang were not paying attention, and took a running leap and got in directly through an open window on the second floor.
The inn was pitch black, no one else was seen, Xiao Yan looked around, he didn't see the shopkeeper and Xiao Er, and he was more and more sure of the horror of this plan, and immediately whispered the names of his friends, and pushed open one door after another, looking for room by room.
This layer ...... No......
This layer...... Nor ......
This guy must have really slept to death again, and he couldn't hear him when he shouted him so loudly!
Xiao Yan was so anxious that he almost crushed his teeth, but finally in the corridor on the fourth floor, he saw a room with a light on, and the light there was in the dark inn, which was the only direction.
Xiao Yan was overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed over with an arrow step, raised his leg and kicked the door open, and shouted:
"Ah Hui, don't sleep with your uncle!
However, the next second, he was stunned.
In the huge room, it was empty, and there was not even a bed to make tables and chairs, let alone a lively Qi Zehui.
Xiao Yan "chuckled" in his heart, stood in a daze for two seconds, and subconsciously turned around to leave here.
The door slammed shut, and with a sound of a blink, it had been tightly locked from the outside, and with the sound of footsteps in the corridor flying away, he realized that one side of the door had been reinforced with fine iron, and from the outside, he couldn't find any clues.
Xiao Yan has realized what is now, and stepped forward to slam the door, pound the door, and kick the door frantically, but Jingtie is Jingtie after all, if he changes to other masters, he may be able to crash open, but Xiao Yan is just an ordinary hairy boy after all, with his current skills, it is impossible to leave here.
Because I was at the end of the street, although the windows were not sealed, the outside of the house was unusually empty, there were no other houses, no pools and rivers to pass by, no trees, no haystacks—there was nothing to buffer the jump.
Xiao Yan doesn't know how to work lightly, this height of more than ten zhang, if he jumps rashly, it is enough to smash him into a blur of flesh and blood, half dead.
A wisp of cold sweat slowly slipped down his head, he took two steps back, and the next second, he sat on the ground with his ass-
He knew he had fallen for it.
