Behind him, the door of the gambling house was wide open, and the man in plain clothes was holding a semi-transparent red handkerchief, with a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, standing in the sunset of the commercial capital, very independent.

I lowered my eyelids and said in a darker tone, "This is not the place for you, you better get out of here." ”

With a slight sigh, I looked up again and was about to say goodbye to him, only to see him staring at me in a daze in his misty eyes, and some crystal clear beads fell out of the ground.

"Aunt, girl, you are such a good person. He wiped the corners of his eyes with his cuffs, and said with some expectation, "Since I have been beaten, since I entered the business capital, girl, girl, this is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard." ”

The plain-clothed man's eyes were foggy, he clenched his fists and clenched the handkerchief in his hand and continued to say to me: "Girl, you know, I came to this business capital to gamble because I had no choice but to do so. My house is surrounded by four walls, and only a few copper coins dug up from the corners of the walls remain. My mother has been bedridden for a long time, and you can see that I myself have fallen into a problem. How can I afford two people with just a few pennies? So, I wanted to try my luck, but it turned out ......."

But the results are clear. He became more and more unable to speak, the crimson on his face deepened, and he coughed lightly a few more times.

"The doorway of the casino is not obvious to ordinary people, and it is not a place to make quick money anyway. I shook my head with him as I spoke, and took out some pieces of silver from my bosom and handed them to him, "I am also passing by here today, and I don't have much coiled with me." You can take this money, it is important to see a doctor for Ling Tang. ”

"No, no, no," the plain-clothed man excused himself again and again, his cheeks were already red, "How can a husband have a reason to reach out to someone to ask for money?"

He said very hard with a thick neck, and after returning the silver taels to me, his voice suddenly became smaller, and his expression became quite embarrassed, "That is, can the girl please give me a full stomach......?"

Gollum –

There was a strange noise, and he hung his hand in frustration, and his eyes did not even dare to look at me.

There are 72 gambling houses in the commercial capital, and there is an endless stream of visitors, and there are naturally many restaurants, restaurants and inns all over the place. I deliberately picked the nearest restaurant and ordered a table of dishes for the plain-clothed man.

The man's eyes immediately lit up, he rolled up his sleeves, tore open a roast duck leg, and ate it with steamed buns. He ate very quickly, and after a few bites, he finished the food in his hand, and looked up and wiped his hands quite contentedly, and saw that I was looking at him with my cheeks on his cheeks, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face.

"Auntie, girl, why don't you eat it?" said the man, and went to tear the second roast duck leg.

In fact, I had only eaten a few mouthfuls of dry food to cushion my stomach, and I didn't eat him until dusk, but a lot of things happened during the day, and I really didn't have the heart to eat.

"I'm not very hungry. Seeing him bite his second leg with relish, the corners of my mouth lifted and I added, "Look at you and you'll be full." ”

After hearing this, the man smiled and said: "I don't know the taste of meat for a few months, the girl is not strange, the girl is not strange." ”

He wiped his oily lips, and a suspicious light flashed in his eyes and fell on me, "Speaking of which, the girl persuaded me to leave Shangdu before, but she was also trapped in such a tiger and wolf land, why is this?"

"Something happened," I straightened my spine and put my hand on my cheek, "it's a long story. ”

"If it's a long story, then I won't talk about it. After this time, I know that it is sinister. Why don't you leave with me after this meal?"

He asked me like that suddenly, and I was caught off guard. Seeing that my brows were gradually furrowed, the man hurriedly explained to me again, and said in a more sincere tone: "I, I have no other intentions, that is, to see that the girl is one person, and I am also one person." It's better to go together, and you can take care of each other. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, I suddenly came to my senses, and a sentence I had heard a long time ago suddenly appeared in my head,

"Since we are all sending letters, why don't we go together? If there is really something, we can take care of each other. ”

......

The man's eyes lit up that day, like an unintentional remark. Thinking about it now, maybe I had fallen into his layout by then......

"Girl, girl, if you don't want to say it directly, don't, don't look at me like that. The plain-clothed man shook in front of me a few times, his face was flustered, and his eyes seemed to be about to rise again.

Only then did I come back to my senses, stretched my brows, and said to him: "I'm sorry, I'm still looking for someone in Shangdu." ”

"Oh. He nodded thoughtfully, and after making a single note, he did not make a sound, and with a sullen expression, he took his chopsticks and sandwiched all the dishes on the table. Then he picked up the tall "hill" in the bowl and lowered his eyes, and ate it quickly.

"You, why don't you eat slowly? I pointed to the table of dishes, swallowed my spit, and said, "Don't worry, these are all yours." ”

"No, it's okay......" he ate faster and faster, muttering "I...... cough cough ...... cough cough ......"

Sure enough, within a moment, the plain-clothed man coughed.

Smack-

The bowl and chopsticks fell to the ground, and he grabbed the clothes on his chest and coughed very hard, "cough, cough, also, I really choked......"

I hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, "Drink water!"

He took it tremblingly, and drank it to his liking, but after only a moment, he coughed violently again. I saw a bloodshot from the corners of his mouth, exactly the same as the first time I saw him in front of the gambling house.

"You...... I'll go find a doctor!"

I was about to leap to my feet with my sword, but he suddenly grabbed me, coughed and waved at me, and turned pale with a painful expression in his face rejecting my offer.

Blood stained his shirt, and the violent coughing seemed to attract the attention of the other guests in the restaurant, and the surrounding chatter, some of them even cast hot eyes.

At this moment, I saw the plain man bent over and fumbled in his wide sleeves for a while before he took out a translucent bottle, trembled to uncork it, put it under his nostrils and inhaled sharply.

In an instant, I also smelled the fragrance of small pears, which seemed to be mixed with the aroma of plants and trees, lingering in front of the bridge of my nose, which was very refreshing and relaxing.

But soon the aroma dissipated, and when I came back to taste, I found that the coughing had stopped, and the plain-clothed man in front of me slowly adjusted his breath to the mouth of the small bottle and calmed down.

I asked him curiously, "What kind of incense is this, and it can still heal diseases?"

"My mother's recipe for coughing and asthma. With a smile on his face, he corked the bottle and put it back in his sleeve.

"How can it be so magical?" I stared at his sleeve in shock, and stroked my palm, "Sure enough, the people have great wisdom. ”

The plain-clothed man bowed his head with a smile, but he stopped talking about the incense, and ate the food in the bowl seriously.

I didn't ask any more questions, but turned my head to look at the drinkers around me, and my fingers landed on the table.

When the man's dishes were empty, he put down his chopsticks with great satisfaction, unfolded the warm wet towel on the side and wiped his fingers clean.

I watched him finish these things, picked up the colorful sword on the table, stood up and tilted his head and asked him,

"Finished eating?"

"Hmm. He would look at me with a smile on his lips.

"Have you eaten enough?" I softened.

"I'm full. The man smiled wider, "Thank you, girl, for your hospitality." ”

As soon as the last word fell, we were stunned, and with a "swish" we pulled out our long sword and clamped it around his neck.

I looked at me sharply, "Who the hell are you?"

The restaurant was silent for a moment.

I saw that his expression froze at first, and the panic in his eyes slowly calmed down. The lips, which were as white as his cheeks, rose little by little, adding a bit of a bewitching color to him.

In the silence, the plain man's words sounded exceptionally clear.

He laughed with me, "You still found out." ”

I watched him silently, and the sword did not move half an inch from him.

"He said you were smarter, but I thought you were cuter. You know, a woman's cuteness is more likable than her intelligence. ”

My eyes dilated suddenly, and I saw that he was also standing up, with the colorful sword still hanging around his neck, but he approached me step by step.

"You stop!"

I let out a loud shout, and the sword clanged.

He stopped and looked at me with a smile in his eyes.

I clenched the hilt of my sword, suppressed the anger in my chest, and asked him,

"Who are you talking about?"
