"That's it, the second brother of Lao Xiao picked up four kinds of specialty dishes from your store and served them, and then warmed a pot of rice wine. The man said lightly, handed the guy a copper coin, waved his hand and smiled: "You don't have to look for the rest." ”

The man was overjoyed, turned his head and counted out a few copper coins, carefully put them in his sleeve, and then went downstairs briskly.

The remnant sun shines obliquely, and the time is just right.

Downstairs came the sound of a pipa as clear as spring water, and a sound came in from afar, and the listening person was clear, and the man also stretched out two fingers, and with a pleasant sound, he gently knocked on the table with his bone joints.

After a while, the sound of the pipa turned sharply, became low and thick, like a muffled thunder through the window knocking on people's hearts, shaking people's hearts like a trough and sinking, just when people's hearts were about to fall to the bottom, the sound of the pipa was suddenly soothing, like a gentle drizzle in a spring night, with a warm breath blowing on the face.

The sound of the pipa is soft and gentle, like the sound of a waste, slightly wrapped in the fragrance of sweet silk, hovering in the void, only the listener's heart is rippling, but the sound of the pipa pauses again, as if reaching out to hold a handful of void, and even the human heart is empty.

The sound stopped, someone couldn't bear it, shouted a voice, and was about to probe down to see what was happening on the first floor, but he heard the sound of the pipa gradually, the voice was short and hard, without the slightest softness, like a golden iron horse stepping over, arousing the listener's endless courage and killing intent.

It's just that this killing intent is fleeting, and the tune has changed with some unfinished meaning, like someone whispering and whispering in his ears, and his heart is also peaceful and calm, giving birth to the intention of living up to this life.

At the end of the song, someone praised it loudly, and then the sound of rewarding was heard one after another, but the pipa girl never said a word.

The man also high-fived and admired, and took advantage of the young man's cooking to hand him a copper coin, asking him to reward it to the pipa girl downstairs.

The young man happily held the copper coin, turned around and took a few from the top, thought about it is still not enjoyable, picked a few and stuffed it into his sleeve, and then strode across the carved wooden ladder, knocking down the downstairs.

As soon as I ran to the corner of the second floor, there was a sudden noise downstairs, like horses neighing and stepping on the door, followed by the downstairs explosion, there were bursts of smashing things and women's miserable screams mixed together, occasionally a half-short man's cursing, and crackling slaps without saying anything.

The young man looked down, and ran back to the third floor with a roll, staggered and fell at the top of the stairs, looking like a ghost, his face was pale, and his voice trembled so much that he couldn't even say a whole sentence: "Fu, Fu, the blood is here, and it has come to kidnap people." ”

This sentence was like a boulder thrown into the middle of the lake, the third floor was quiet for a short time, and then exploded in an instant, and the diners who were originally tasting the food and appreciating the beauty scattered screaming and fleeing, some of them holding their heads and drilling under the table, but they completely forgot to hide their buttocks outside, and some flew to hide behind sixteen rosewood screens, but the screens were openworked, and through the gaps in the patterns, they were looking at the figures of the people who were close to one after another.

What's more, when I opened the long window and looked out, I saw that the river was surging, and I gritted my teeth and shouted with courage

"Lao Tzu would rather feed the fish than let the people with the blood catch them." After drinking, one leg trembled across the lattice, but the other leg was so weak that he could not lift it up anyway.

Only the jade-crowned man in the snow-blue cloak unbuttoned the cloak, put it on the straight-backed chair on one side, grabbed the man's collar leisurely, pulled him back and threw him to the ground, and slowly walked back, poured a glass of warm rice wine, and drank it all with his neck up.

There was a deafening noise from the carved wooden ladder, and when they heard this sound, there were so many people that they almost stepped on the stairs, and a group of men in blood-colored robes rushed upstairs with cold scimitars in their hands, and some of them were dripping with blood.

The leader was a scar-faced man, with a head full of messy hair like a chicken nest, thick lips turned outward, looked around, and shouted viciously: "Get out of this seat, you rats with hidden heads and tails, and still have faces alive, and they stink of meat when they are thrown to feed the fish." ”

The floor shook like chaff, and the water-red curtain on the low ground trembled like a strong wind passing through the water, and for a long time, the person who hid his head and tail did not come out of it.

Scarface smiled, his figure flickered, and the scimitar ejected from his waist, as fast as a white light, overturning several old elm tables one after another, and nailing them obliquely to the table at the base of the wall with the sound of the wind, and the tip of the knife pierced through the table, humming and trembling.

The person under the table screamed loudly, his voice changed his tone, and he even crawled and hid in the corner, the only table that was not overturned, the person with his butt facing outward was obviously scared stupid, he didn't scream or move, but a puddle of water came out of his head, soaking the precious Yunjin dark flower long jacket into a water stain, with a slight fishy smell.

The jade-crowned man sitting next to the table did not move, and the scimitar in front of him fell in his eyes, just an ordinary appetizer, he glanced at it silently, and reached out to clip a chopstick Chen's meat.

Elsewhere, when the scimitar was raging on the table, Scarface was not idle, obviously his figure was a few steps away from the screen, but under the slight undulation of his blood-colored sleeves, there was a strong wind swept by, and the sound of the tiger roared loudly, blowing the sixteen rosewood screens in pieces, and this valuable thing was cut by Scarface before it fell to the ground, and it rushed out of the wide open long window, and smashed straight into the tumbling river on the side.

I only heard a "bang", and the river splashed high, followed by a thunderous scolding: "Fuck your uncle, which king and eight lambs littered and smashed my boat, this boat is new, the craftsmanship of the wooden hall on the edge of the stream, worth a thousand gold, can you afford to pay for a bastard." ”

Scarface's short eyebrows were upside down, and with a wave of his backhand, the scimitar that pierced the table was suddenly pulled out, and he leaped down towards the window, only to hear a short wail outside the window, followed by a heavy object falling into the water, splashing a high-pitched splash from the window into the room, and the splash was wrapped in a cold scimitar, and the tip of the knife was dripping with sticky scarlet blood.

The people behind the screen fell to the ground one by one, coming back to their senses from the choking dust and looking

It happened to be this scene, and he was so frightened that he couldn't even scream, and after a short silence, the fishy smell in this room became more and more heavy, and it had already diluted the aroma of the food, and it was obvious that he could no longer eat it peacefully.

The jade-crowned man sighed, dusted off the thin dust on his sleeves, threw two copper coins at the young man who was lying on the ground and didn't dare to lift his head, and said lightly: "Go buy good agarwood incense, go and get rid of this urine commotion." ”

The young man was already scared out of his soul, where did he dare to take this money, he only lowered his eyebrows and shook his body and didn't dare to make a sound.

Scarface held the scimitar, the tip of the knife nodded at the jade-crowned man, and laughed at the left and right: "See, there is still one who is not scared, there are really some masters in this Luling City." ”

The blood-robed men on the left and right echoed and laughed: "Isn't it, big brother, where can this kind of miscellaneous be used by the eldest brother, if the clothes are soiled, the younger brothers will take care of it." As he spoke, the men rubbed their hands together and moved forward with their scimitars flashed.

The jade-crowned man didn't squint, he didn't hurry to grab a chopstick moldy fish, chewed a few bites, and then smacked Scarface's body, and when he landed on the blood-colored robe, he stained the blood-colored robe with gray-white filth, and the man sneered: "What kind of miscellaneous things are these, what a fucking unappetizing, Xiao Er, remove the dish and change the dish." ”

The young man was lying on the ground, moving forward little by little, holding a hanging of money in one hand, and the other hand was extended, and carefully went there to get another hanging of money, hearing the words of the jade-crowned man, he was frightened into a spirit, and his head was planted on the ground with a bang, pretending to be dead.

The blood-robed men were furious, and they all howled in unison, holding their scimitars and slashing at the jade-crowned man.

And the jade-crowned man was still not in a hurry, his body dodged like a ghost, a scimitar with a handle slashed into the air, and the jade-crowned man moved to the opposite side of the table in an instant, without even raising his head, only holding a cup, and taking a sip.

Scarface was stunned for a moment, he obviously met a difficult person today, he was a little interested, waved his hand, and told the left and right to stand back for the time being, such a hard bone, he himself can't have a good time, how can he leave it to others to play.

The people on the left and right glanced at each other, silently and slowly retreated, and laid a pocket at the staircase, becoming an encirclement.

Scarface smiled, kicked the young man, saw that he was motionless and pretending to be very dedicated, he couldn't help but pick two short eyebrows, triangular eyes skimmed the jade-crowned man, one leg stepped on a bench, the whole person straddled in front of the young man, took the tip of the knife and nodded the young man's forehead, and said: "Eh, don't pretend, this seat is not a fool." If you crawl under the crotch of this seat, this seat will spare you from death. ”

The young man raised his head, his face bruised, and moved his body, but he did not take a step forward after all.

As if teasing him, Scarface shouted at the blood-robed people blocking the staircase: "Brothers, come, help him." ”

The four blood-robed men who came out of the staircase, as if they were used to doing this kind of thing, rushed up, some pressed their heads, some grabbed their feet, lifted up the young man who was struggling, and made a gesture to throw him from the window into the river

Go.

Scarface shook the cold scimitar, pointed at the people who were shrinking in the corner, raised his head and laughed: "See, if you don't want to climb under the crotch of this seat, throw it into the river to feed the fish, of course, you can survive by handing over a woman to this seat." ”

The remnant sun was heavy, and the last ray of light fell into the depths of the Xiangping River, and there was a dead silence in the house, and no one took this first step.

The young man had been hung on the window lattice, and his two hands were clutching the window lattice, because of excessive force, the bone joints protruded to the point of distortion, the green tendons on the forehead burst, and Qingjun's face became hideous and terrifying.
