One hundred and one night
It's so late, and I haven't rested yet, who else but myself?
Xiao Yan became curious, so he crept towards the lobby like a child.
Just when he stepped into the lobby with his front feet, maybe there was a gust of wind coming in from somewhere, the light of the candle shook for a while, Xiao Yan's heart jumped suddenly, and he realized the ridiculousness of his behavior at the moment, so he coughed softly, and then swaggered in.
As soon as I entered the door, I looked closely, and it turned out that this guy who was also sleepless late at night was none other than Dong Gaozai, the deputy helmsman of the righteous rudder.
"Vice helmsman Dong?" Xiao Yan said with some surprise, "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Dong Gao glanced at the former with a smile, and then made a gesture of silence, Xiao Yan turned his head to look, only to find that Dong Gao was enshrined on the long table in front of him, and he was enshrined the spiritual seat of Dong Cunfu, the former leader of the Great Righteousness Helmsman.
It turned out that Dong Gao was mourning his dead brother......
Seeing this, Xiao Yan hurriedly took his breath and stood solemnly beside Dong Gaozai.
At this time, Dong Gaozai should have completed some worship steps, just stretched out his hand, took out three incense sticks from the table full of melons and fruits, lit it on the spiritual candle, and then bowed three times to the spiritual seat, solemnly inserted it on the incense burner, and then folded his hands, closed his eyes, and prayed sincerely.
Xiao Yan waited patiently on the side, until Dong Gao finished meditating and opened his eyes, and then he asked in a low voice: "Deputy helmsman Dong, can I also pay tribute to Brother Dong?"
"Thank you, please take care of yourself......" Dong Gaozai turned his head and smiled at Xiao Yan.
"Okay......" Xiao Yan took a deep breath and stepped forward, burning incense, worshipping, planting incense, and praying in the same way.
In the dark, there seems to be an imperceptible subtle feeling enveloping his body.
However, at this moment, Xiao Yan unexpectedly found that under Dong Cunfu's spiritual seat, there was a small dark cloth bag, with speckled brown marks on it, like traces left by blood.
"Second Brother Dong, in this cloth bag...... What is it?" Xiao Yan gestured towards the cloth bag.
"Oh, that......" A trace of sadness flashed in Dong Gaozai's eyes, and then he smiled indifferently and said, "That's part of the murder weapon used by the red-faced old demon when he killed my brother......"
"Fierce ...... The murder weapon?" Xiao Yan was a little confused, "Or ...... Part of it?"
"Yes, the murder weapon, part of the ......" Dong Gaozai's eyes were also fixed on the cloth bag, "This is found from the remains of the eldest brother's corpse, a total of thirty-four small hidden weapons that have been quenched with poison, only on one left arm...... There are eleven of them......"
"Eleven ......" Xiao Yan's mouth gradually opened to the boss.
"Yes, you can imagine how inhumane my brother's torture was during his lifetime......" Dong Gao said calmly. He is still calm on the surface, but the turbulent waves in his heart can be imagined.
"I'm sorry, Vice Helmsman Dong...... I shouldn't have asked, it aroused your sadness," Xiao Yan said with great apology and self-blame, "Besides, Brother Dong...... I also died because of me...... I'm half of the responsibility for this......"
"What are you talking about...... Dong Gao patted Xiao Yan's shoulder with relief, "You and I are both from the rivers and lakes, and everything we do is for justice and justice, if this matter is not for the crazy red-faced old devil who is doing evil, how can I get into such a field? If I can't even tell the difference between right and wrong, then I, the position of the deputy helmsman, I'm afraid I won't continue to do it......"
"Thank you...... Second brother ......" Xiao Yan's eyes were already full of tears, "but the beggar gang was greatly injured because of looking for me, and I still haven't fully recovered, so I still have some ......."
"Don't say these stupid things again, Xiao Yan......" Dong Gao scolded softly, "From a certain point of view, our purpose is the same, that is, to pay for the blood debt, and it is bound to take the head of the red-faced old devil to sacrifice all the innocent souls who died because of him...... If you really feel guilty, then work harder, become that old devil as soon as possible, and avenge Brother Dong!"
"Hmm......" Xiao Yan reached out to wipe away his tears and nodded vigorously.
"Okay, it's not early, it's almost dawn......" Dong Gaozai turned around and waved his hand at Xiao Yan: "Rest early, you should still have a lot of things to do, right?"
"Good...... Second Brother Dong, you should rest early!"
After saying goodbye to Dong Gaozai, Xiao Yan noticed that the exhaustion like waves was sweeping in, but when he yawned and just lay sideways on the bed, he suddenly bounced up with an "ouch", and his head hit the wooden board on the top of the bed.
"What......"
Xiao Yan grinned in pain, covering his head while groping his waist with the previous pain, and sure enough, a small pointed thing was piercing his skin.
Xiao Yan gasped, pulled it out, and took a closer look at it in the hazy light, it turned out to be a small needle, with a drop of his own blood on it.
"Who has been cut a thousand times and put embroidery needles on my bed!"
Xiao Yan roared hysterically in his heart.
......
I tossed and turned in bed for a long time, and I don't know how long I stayed up, but I finally fell asleep groggily.
When Xiao Yan woke up in a daze, the sky was full of stars outside the window, and he asked how long the gang outside the door who was making well water with a bucket had been sleeping, and the man honestly replied that it was about a whole day, and it was almost time now.
The intimate Song Bo prepared a meal for Xiao Yan, and while eating, Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask about his friend's whereabouts:
"May I ask Uncle Song, what are the two ...... Qi Helm Lord, where has he gone? Are you still sleeping?"
"Back to Xiao Shaoxia, Lord Qi Helm woke up earlier than you, and he had already eaten and went out," Song Bo said with a smile: "I don't know where to play now......
"Oh...... Played to ......"
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes without thinking.
Qi Zehui, this guy, the dog can't change the way to eat, and his place is nothing more than those old places.
After eating, because the rumors of last night's incident were estimated to have not subsided, Xiao Yan deliberately did not bring the King Kong seat, crossed the courtyard wall, and went to the night market in Hongzhou.
First asked in a few famous restaurants, the guards said that they hadn't seen Uncle Qi come here to eat, Xiao Yan frowned, and immediately decided to explore the casino.
There are only four casinos near the rudder of Dayi, and Xiao Yan, who asked three of them, stood in front of the door of the last "grand casino", listening to the boiling voices inside, and couldn't help but hesitate.
If Qi Zehui's kid wasn't here, then it was likely that he went to the place he talked about......
Green House ......
Xiao Yan couldn't help but blow up his scalp, he had already made a private agreement with Su Xixue for life, that kind of place, he didn't want to go in if he was killed!
If Qi Zehui is really fooling around in Qinglou, Xiao Yan still decides to honestly return to Dayi and stay at the rudder, and wait for the two dogs to come back when they are enough, and then talk to him about business.
Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and Qi Zehui probably realized that he had just fought in poor health and immediately went to turn over the clouds, as soon as his name was mentioned, the little guy immediately said with a smile:
"Are you a friend of Lord Qi Helm? Okay, when I lead you to meet him, Uncle Qi is playing inside, and your luck is good today......
Xiao Yan laughed dumbly, but still said "thank you", and walked into the door of the casino with the little guy. As soon as I entered the house, the turbid atmosphere of the house came to my face, followed by the sound of shaking the dice and knocking on the pai gow, and the "crackling" was endless, as if the firecrackers were set off during the New Year.
It stands to reason that a person like Xiao Tuo, who has six senses and is not here often, should be disgusted by the environment here, but at this time, Xiao Tuo is thinking about things with a spring breeze on his face, and his eyes are full of flashing light.
Why?
Because the first time he met Su Xixue in the real sense was in the casino.
At that time, Su Xixue was dressed in white, and with a vicious old woman curled up in the corner of the secret room, her face was full of tears, pear blossoms and rain, and she was as beautiful as a fairy in the heavenly palace.
Xiao Yan, who was looking around as he walked, couldn't help but start to recall, how much he wished there was a secret room in this casino now, and there was such a gentle and considerate Su Xixue who was secretly smiling at himself through the gap......
How nice would that be......
Xiao Yan was still immersed in wonderful fantasies, but was suddenly interrupted by a "fuck your mother's big deal".
He frowned, looked fixedly, and sure enough, it was Qi Zehui's little deflated three, who was standing on the chair shaking the dice frantically, still shouting hysterically:
"Big, big, big! fuck you!"
"Uncle Qi is over there, the little one won't bother you two......" The little guy showed a festive smile, and then quietly rubbed his fingers.
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then laughed understandingly, and after stuffing a few copper coins over, he arched his hand and said, "I'm tired!"
Then he turned around and quietly stood behind him while Qi Zehui was unhappy.
"Big, big, big!"
Several beggars on the side also looked at it, and shouted in unison with the helmsman.
"I'll your—"
I only heard a "bang", and three "gurgling" spinning dice jumped onto the table, but it was very unfortunate and unsatisfactory, and the points fell "small".
"My mother!" Qi Zehui covered his face in pain, with a hideous expression on his face: "Why is tonight's good luck suddenly gone!"
"The helmsman is angry, and the helmsman is angry......"
Several beggars were smiling all over their faces.
"Go, go, stand far away, you must have sucked my fucking good luck......" Qi Zehui angrily pointed at his subordinates beside him and scolded, and when he turned his head, he saw his friend Xiao Yan with a smile on his face behind him.
