Chapter 017: The Man Who Bought the Sword (2)
For a person who likes alcohol, the word "drunkard" can definitely be regarded as a reputation, a compliment, and a compliment.
Being called a "drunkard" is not a bad thing for Bai Luoshang, he even enjoys it, is proud of it, and is happy about it, so his face smiled like a flower again, and he said unashamedly: "Hearing you say this, I think you are really a person with vision and insight, because people who know me say so." ”
After hearing this, the young man laughed again, and after laughing, he suddenly stared at Bai Luoshang again, and said very seriously: "If you are really a drunkard, I have something I want to ask you for help." ”
Bai Luoshang thought that he was going to say something very serious, so he couldn't help but sit up straight: "Please speak." ”
The young man said, "I want to invite you to a drink in Yipinju." ”
Bai Luoshang was stunned and muttered, "Strange, I seem to have heard that you are going to invite me to drink, I thought I heard it wrong." ”
The young man said, "Yes, I just invite you to drink." ”
Bai Luoshang has never encountered such a good thing as being asked to help with drinking.
Looking at the young man, Bai Luoshang couldn't help but ask: "I don't think I need to ask for a reason when I am invited to drink, but now I want to ask why you invited me to drink." ”
There is no good thing in the world for no reason.
Judging from Bai Luoshang's experience, there are good things, and there must be bad things, which is called "the place of blessing and misfortune".
When the young man saw Bai Luo's suspicion, he smiled and said, "Because the wine is good." ”
Bai Luoshang deliberately kept a straight face, "I have to go if the wine is good?"
The young man shook his head slowly, and said in a very firm tone: "It's not that you have to go, but you will definitely go." ”
Bai Luoshang was very surprised, and hurriedly said, "Why do I definitely go?"
The young man replied unhurriedly, "Because you are a drunkard." ”
Bai Luoshang thought about it and felt that this made sense, "You guessed right, I will definitely go, but before I go, I still want to know a question." ”
"What's the problem?"
"I should have known who invited me to drink. ”
"I'm the one who invited you to drink. ”
"Who are you? ”
"I drank with you, and I never asked you who you were. ”
Bai Luoshang blinked and said with a smile: "Then I don't ask who you are, I ask you what you do." ”
The young man replied in a tone that was neither salty nor light: "I do things for others." ”
Bai Luoshang asked again, "Then what kind of person are you?"
The young man replied lightly and seriously: "Do not harm nature and reason, do not take advantage of others, do not bully the old and weak, women and children, and do not harm the poor, sick and widows." ”
Bai Luoshang was a little weak, and said with a wry smile: "You didn't answer any of my questions, you don't seem to dare to reveal your identity." ”
The young man looked at him quietly and said slowly, "Do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to hear the lie?"
Bai Luoshang smiled: "Telling the truth is as simple as blinking an eye, but telling a lie often takes time to memorize it." I don't like trouble, so keep it simple and tell the truth. ”
The young man said: "It's not that I don't dare, but there is no reason to say it." ”
Bai Luoshang thought for a while and asked him, "Then what kind of reason do you have to say?"
The young man said, "For example, tell me who you are. ”
Unexpectedly, Bai Luoshang replied without thinking about it: "Bai Luosheng." ”
It's very generous, and there is no concealment.
If it were usual, he might have told a lie casually, but now, he told the truth without hesitation.
The two people in the room looked at him at the same time, their faces were full of surprised expressions, and they said in a lost voice: "You are the white clothes?"
"It's me. Bai Luoshang nodded and said: "Although I don't know which one you are referring to, I think there should be no one with the same name and surname as me at present, so the 'that' you are talking about is me." ”
The young man didn't speak, just stared at Bai Luoshang quietly, as if thinking about something.
And Zhang Santie had already jumped up in surprise, looked at Bai Luoshang with burning eyes, slapped him on the shoulder, and sighed: "What a famous person!"
Bai Luoshang bowed his head and said politely: "Don't dare." ”
The young man was silent for a long time, and then suddenly laughed, "Since you can tell me your identity, I can also tell you my name, in Xiayue Beichuan, it is really an honor to meet Your Excellency." ”
After a few polite words, Bai Luoshang thought about it secretly, and didn't have much impression of this name.
Perhaps, this person is not a person on the rivers and lakes, and perhaps, he is really just a guard of the noble family.
Zhang Santie clapped his hands and said to the two: "Since you still want to drink, it's better to drink first, and when you finish drinking, this sword will be completed." ”
The three of them walked out of the back room.
It just so happened that as soon as he came out, he saw Zhang Santie's second apprentice taking something from the stove with his bare hands.
Bai Luoshang was stunned for a moment, and quickly jumped over, and when he saw what was done, he found that the thing that was taken out with his bare hands was actually a hammer that had been burned red by the fire.
In the air, you can smell the smell of burnt flesh and skin.
Bai Luosheng's face had changed color, and there was no trace of alcohol at all, but with a very strange expression, he immediately shouted at the man: "Are you really beaten with iron?"
The second apprentice didn't look at Bai Luosheng, and after taking out the hammer, he continued to throw off his arms and pick up the hammer with a "whoosh".
The flesh and skin had clearly been burned, but he seemed to have no feeling, like a piece of iron, a piece of copper, no pain, no emotion.
Bai Luosheng's face was very surprised, but the face of the person standing behind him was very angry.
They were the ones who came with Yue Beichuan to get the sword, and they didn't know what happened to the two blacksmith apprentices in the house after Yue Beichuan went to the back room.
I only heard the man suddenly roar: "You have to want it if you don't want it!"
Bai Luoshang looked at Yue Beichuan and said blankly, "What does he want?"
Yue Beichuan was obviously puzzled.
The big apprentice squatted on the ground, twitching the bellows unhurriedly and evenly, the wind was loud, and his laughter was even louder.
Bai Luoshang didn't understand why he was smiling, "Can you tell me what you're happy about?"
The big apprentice looked at them and couldn't help but laugh even louder.
Bai Luosheng is the second monk was puzzled, and muttered: "Isn't it stupid." ”
The big apprentice was still laughing, and while laughing, he pointed to the man who was angry and said, "They were going to drink water just now." ”
Bai Luoshang glared at him, is it funny to drink water?
The eldest apprentice continued, "I'll let him pour the water himself. ”
It's not funny to let him pour his own water.
The eldest apprentice seemed to think of something again, so he bent over with a smile and said with a smile: "But just as he was carrying the pot and pouring water to drink, the junior brother suddenly flicked at him, and then something hit the kettle." ”
Bai Luoshang looked up inexplicably, and found Yue Beichuan's ugly face and Zhang Santie's helpless expression.
He obviously still didn't understand what was so funny about it.
At this time, the man standing behind him jumped up and said angrily: "I was about to drink water, when I suddenly felt a shock in my hand, and the kettle had fallen to the ground. ”
Bai Luoshang nodded and said, "If it were someone who knocked over the flask while I was drinking, I would also be angry." ”
The man added, "He used a piece of broken silver for three denaries." ”
Bai Luoshang looked at the second apprentice puzzled, and said strangely: "Why do you use silver?"
The big apprentice laughed and said, "Of course, let him take it out and buy water to drink." ”
Hearing this, I saw that the angry blue-faced man was so angry that his lips turned white.
Bai Luoshang laughed and said, "It's nothing to be angry about." ”
The eldest apprentice laughed and said: "It's just that at that time, some water accidentally poured out, and a few drops of water were splashed on his hands, but that stupid guy actually put his hand close to the tip of his nose and sniffed, and his face immediately changed greatly." ”
Bai Luoshang couldn't help but wonder: "Why?"
The big apprentice laughed and said, "Because it's not ordinary water." ”
"What kind of water is it?"
"There is highly toxic water. ”
Bai Luoshang jumped up and said in surprise: "Poisonous, what kind of poison?"
The eldest apprentice snorted and said proudly: "Naturally, it is highly poisonous to see blood and seal the throat. ”
Bai Luoshang looked at him even more surprised.
Since it is a poison that seals the throat with blood, how can it be put so casually?
The eldest apprentice seemed to see Bai Luosheng's thoughts in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's because of the danger, so we have put a note on the kettle that 'can't drink', he has obviously seen it, but he pretended not to see it, and self-righteously sent it to his mouth." If it weren't for my stupid junior brother who made a quick move, he was afraid that he would have been lying on the ground a long time ago and would not be able to get up again. ”
The man who was almost poisoned stared at the big apprentice who pulled the bellows with a red face: "Since you all know that it contains poison, then you still let me pour water myself! Don't you have the intention of killing me?"
The eldest apprentice glanced at him with disdain, "I don't know you, what did I kill you for." Don't you see that there are two kettles on the table, and the other kettle has no sticker note, and the water in it is drinkable. ”
Bai Luoshang glanced at the table, and there was indeed a kettle.
In this way, the fault lies with the man himself, who was almost poisoned.
The man's face was already pale with anger, and he glared at the ironsmith who didn't say a word with hatred, if he could, he would not hesitate to kill the blacksmith, but in fact, he couldn't, and he didn't dare.
Bai Luoshang looked at the undisguised killing intent in the man's eyes funny, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You are so stupid, no one else will let you drink, you still have to drink, isn't this self-inflicted?"
Opening Bai Luoshang's hand, the man gritted his teeth and said, "How do I know if they harbor evil intentions? Besides, why should I listen to him? He asked me to drink, but I didn't drink it." He wouldn't let me, so I just wanted to drink. ”
Bai Luoshang shook his head and sighed: "It turns out that you are not too stupid, but too self-righteous. ”
The man scolded violently: "Do you know who Lao Tzu is?
Yue Beichuan stared at the man expressionlessly, and said coldly: "He is the guest I want to invite back for a drink." ”
