Chapter 096: A Broken Arm (3)
Bai Luoshang's serious question is to ask why the fat monk came here, and the fat monk's answer is, of course, to find the flower cat. Bai Luoshang didn't doubt it, he believed that the fat monk was indeed here to find the flower cat, but Bai Luoshang was also very puzzled, how did the fat monk know that his flower cat would come here? And his flower cat couldn't have appeared here by such chance.
The fat monk hugged the flower cat, "I know you must be thinking, how did I know that my flower cat came here, right?"
Bai Luoshang nodded, "That's what I thought. ”
"And you're still thinking, my cat can't be here by such a coincidence, right?"
Bai Luoshang nodded again, "That's what I thought." ”
The fat monk sighed, "You must have thought this was not a coincidence. ”
Bai Luoshang nodded again, "I thought so." ”
"You don't believe there can be such a coincidence in the world. ”
"I thought so. ”
The fat monk shook his head, "You are really a very powerful person, just as he said. ”
Bai Luoshang smiled: "But I guess you must like to talk to someone as powerful as me." ”
The fat monk looked at this smart, cunning and confident young man helplessly, and said with a smile: "My flower cat came here because its nose is more sensitive than a dog's nose. ”
Bai Luoshang looked at the broken arm, and then at the flower cat.
The fat monk said: "With its nose, it can find everything it wants." It hadn't eaten the food fed by the old Taoist priest for two days, so it came out to find the old Taoist priest. ”
After being silent for a while, Bai Luoshang said in a low voice: "But what it found was not the old Taoist, but a broken arm of the old Taoist." ”
"There's nothing wrong with that. ”
"It will come here because of its unusually sensitive nose, and it smells the scent of the old Taoist. Then it ran to the courtyard wall of Second Master Wu's house early in the morning and screamed for so long, because it thought it had found one of the old Taoist arms. "What about you, I guess you didn't come here by your nose." ”
The fat monk said: "I am neither a dog nor a cat, and of course I can't find this place by my own nose." ”
Bai Luoshang asked, "Then how did you know that this broken arm is here?"
The fat monk didn't answer, he just turned around and walked to the entrance of the alley, dragged hard, and then rolled out from the corner of the wall.
The man rolled on the ground several times until he hit the base of the wall and did not stop, and then he got up from the ground drunk, looked at the three people in a daze, burped, and looked at the fat monk and said, "Aren't you going to invite me to drink? Why is there no wine?"
Bai Luoshang frowned.
Wu Wei's eyes widened, and he said viciously: "This drunk hasn't woken up yet. ”
The fat monk said: "Even if you don't wake up, you can still tell the truth." ”
Drunkards never only talk drunk, and only honest people can tell the truth.
This old drunkard is not just a hangover drunkard, but also a drunkard who is not honest at all, he will tell the truth, Wu Wei is a hundred unbelievers.
Wu Wei didn't believe it because he had his judgment. The fat monk believed it, because he also had his own judgment.
Wu Wei asked arrogantly, "What can an old drunk tell the truth?"
The fat monk didn't mind Wu Wei yelling at all, but replied patiently: "He said that if I want to find the old Taoist, I will come to the county office." ”
When Wu Wei heard this, he glared even more fiercely and said, "What are you doing at my house?" Does he mean that I hid the old Taoist priest in my house?"
The fat monk said: "Of course I can't hide him, because you can't do it at all, but someone else can." ”
Wu Wei jumped off the horse suddenly, approaching the fat monk step by step with a vicious face, his eyes protruding widely, "The person you are talking about, is it Shangguan Moyun, that old thief?"
The fat monk didn't answer, let alone look at Wu Wei who was approaching him step by step, he only looked at Bai Luosheng.
Bai Luoshang also looked at the fat monk, and suddenly asked, "You just believe the words of a drunkard like that?"
The fat monk nodded, "As I just said, drunks can also be honest." ”
Bai Luoshang asked again: "He is an old drunkard, his mind has never been clear, how can he know the whereabouts of the old Taoist?"
"Because it was Shangguan Moyun who told him. The fat monk clenched his fists, and his eyebrows and eyes lit up with murderous intent, "The whereabouts of the old Taoist priest must have been specially conveyed to me by him." I don't know why he did it, but I'll come. ”
Bai Luoshang stared at the fat monk's clenched fist, and asked unhurriedly, "Because you must find the old Taoist?"
The fat monk suddenly let go of his fist, hugged the flower cat tightly in his arms, and said abruptly: "I don't want to lose a drinking friend." ”
Wu Wei had already stopped beside the fat monk, and his eyes were already bloodshot, which showed how angry he was. He was angry, very, very angry, so his tone of voice became more and more vicious, "You say, where is Shangguan Moyun?"
The fat monk glanced at Wu Wei, "You're looking for him?"
Wu Wei nodded heavily, "I'll look for him." ”
The fat monk asked again, "What are you looking for him?"
Wu Wei raised his fists, gritted his teeth fiercely and said, "I'm looking for my brother." ”
The fat monk stared at Wu Wei for a while, and then said leisurely: "Even if you find him, you won't be able to find your brother." ”
"It was he who kidnapped my brother, and if I find him, of course I can find my brother. ”
"He's not here to kidnap your brother, he's here to kill your brother. ”
Wu Wei's face changed greatly, "You mean to say that my brother has been ...... by him and by him"
The fat monk shook his head, "I'm afraid you don't know, Shangguan Moyun has already left Pushan County." ”
Wu Wei's face froze, "What did you say?"
The fat monk had to repeat it again, and said word by word: "Shangguan Moyun has left Pushan County." ”
Wu Wei looked incredulous, "Where did he go?"
"I don't know. The fat monk suddenly pointed to Bai Luosheng's nose and said, "But he knows." ”
Bai Luoshang blinked her eyes and looked calm.
Wu Wei couldn't calm down at all, he had already jumped up, pointed to Bai Luosheng's nose and asked, "Do you know where Shangguan Moyun went?"
Bai Luoshang smiled bitterly, but he didn't say anything.
The person who spoke was a fat monk, and he said, "You met with Shangguan Moyun yesterday, he must have told you where he was going." ”
Bai Luoshang did not deny it.
"Where did Shangguan Moyun go?"
The person who asked this sentence was Wu Wei, and he wanted to know the whereabouts of Shangguan Moyun very much.
"Where is the old Taoist?"
The person who asked this sentence was a fat monk, and he suddenly asked such an inexplicable sentence, but his expression seemed to recognize Bai Luosheng and would definitely know this answer.
was questioned by two people at the same time, and Bai Luoshang suddenly didn't know whose question to answer first.
However, looking at the expressions of the two questioners, Bai Luoshang still chose to answer Wu Wei's question first: "The noble man of Shangguan said that he was going to participate in the competition of the third lady of Tangjiabao in Liangzhou to recruit relatives, so he had already taken his family property to Liangzhou on the way. ”
After Wu Wei listened, he actually asked again with a blank face: "Where is Liangzhou?"
Bai Luoshang not only sighed, he was not willing to explain to Wu Wei where Liangzhou was at all, because he knew that it would take a lot of time to explain this issue to Wu Wei, and he was unwilling to waste time on this kind of meaningless explanation, so he directly ignored Wu Wei's question.
Then, Bai Luoshang looked at the fat monk and replied very seriously: "I don't know where the old Taoist priest is, because I haven't seen him since he duel with Miss Shangguan." ”
Unexpectedly, after hearing this answer, the fat monk suddenly smiled, and he said indifferently: "I guess you can't know." ”
I don't know why, Bai Luoshang always felt that the fat monk's smile looked lonely and sad.
The fat monk touched the cat's head again, and said with a smile: "I'm looking for the old guy, I know that Shangguan Moyun can let me find the old guy." ”
"But you didn't find Shangguan Moyun, you only found this old drunk. Bai Luoshang sighed, "And you only found an arm when you came here." ”
The fat monk was silent for a long time before he smiled bitterly: "That's enough." ”
"Enough?" Bai Luoshang couldn't help but be surprised, it was just a broken arm, the fat monk hadn't found anyone at all, how could he say that it was enough?
The fat monk said with some sadness: "Even if I didn't find him, I know that he is no longer there." ”
The word "gone" speaks for itself.
It's not that the fat monk can't find the old Taoist, he just can't find the old Taoist who is alive.
"For me, whether I find a person or a broken arm, the answer is the same. The fat monk hugged the flower cat and walked towards Bai Luosheng, "I thought you should give me his hand." ”
Of course, Bai Luoshang should hand over the old Taoist's severed arm to the fat monk, because they are friends, and it is most appropriate for the fat monk to deal with this broken arm.
The fat monk crossed his arms with pain in his eyes, and he muttered, "I'll never drink again." ”
Bai Luoshang didn't ask him why.
The fat monk held the flower cat in one hand and the broken arm in the other, and walked slowly to the alley, and said slowly: "This old guy is dead, I will quit drinking, this is what I said before, I will do what I say, and I will never drink from now on." ”
The old Taoist priest died.
The fat monk quit drinking.
Bai Luoshang looked at the empty alley and was silent for a long time.
They once drank together, although the old Taoist priest never invited him to drink just to invite him to drink, but he still felt sad for the death of the old Taoist priest, and also regretted that the fat monk had quit drinking since then.
