Chapter Ninety-Eight The decision was made
"This little girl, if you want to trick me, it's still tender. The old man grabbed the ginseng in the box on the side, and took a big bite, looking at his posture, what he was holding now was not a priceless precious medicinal herb, but a large white radish planted in ordinary people's homes.
Then, the old man took a sip of tea, smoothed the remaining ginseng dregs into his stomach, and then said leisurely: "Is there anyone else giving gifts?"
Immediately, a middle-aged man held a gift box and said, "There are many, you see, this is a congratulatory gift from Liu Futang, a staff member of the Xiao family." ”
The old man took the gift box and said with a smile: "Although Liu Futang occasionally has some stalks, most of the time it will still happen, presumably the congratulatory gift he sent this time will definitely not go anywhere." ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he said, "Then Mr. Liu also said that if the master likes it, then there will be as many things as there are." As soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, he heard a loud "bang". I saw that the old man even brought a chair, and the whole thing fell to the ground. The old man rolled his eyes, apparently having turned his back on his breath. The middle-aged man was busy squatting down in a panic to pinch the old man's midriff, and after a while, the old man woke up leisurely.
The middle-aged man was relieved when he saw this, but at this time, he saw a palm-sized turtle staring at the mung bean eyes, and crawled leisurely on the old man's chest.
"Damn, this Liu Futang is here to humiliate us!" With that, the middle-aged man wanted to reach out and take the turtle. At this time, the old man suddenly came to his senses as if he had returned to the light. He took the turtle in his hand before the middle-aged man and said, "Don't come nonsense, this turtle can still stew soup!
The middle-aged man was angry when he heard this, he looked at the old man, and he didn't know what to say for a while. After a while, he sighed helplessly and said: "The master, then Liu Futang humiliated you like this, should we just let him go like this? If this matter spreads, then outsiders don't know how to belittle our Yan family!"
The old man smiled, then waved his hand and said, "I won't tell you anything, when I saw this turtle at the beginning, I was really angry. But then I thought about it, with Liu Futang's courage, how dare he send me this thing. Behind the scenes, it must be the head of the Xiao family. ”
The middle-aged man said with a hammer on the ground: "This Xiao family is really hateful, it's not a day or two that they want to move down our Yan family, I look at today's incident, it is a signal that the Xiao family wants to start a war against us!"
The old man smiled and said, "If something happens, don't be in a hurry, use your brain carefully." Now the water in the Kuril Province is deeper than ever, and in its place, it is disturbed by it. You think the higher you go, the more comfortable it gets, hey, it's cold up there. Since the Xiao family is ready to step on my Yan family, let him step on it, the more limelight he has, the faster he will die. Today, we will accept his congratulatory gift silently, and on the surface, we are soft on the Xiao family, so that the Xiao family has no reason to trouble us. ”
When the middle-aged man heard the old man say this, his face became more and more helpless.
"After a while, I told the kitchen to cook this ghost, remember, put more spices, otherwise it will be fishy." The old man lifted up the chair, sat down in it again, and said, "Except for this turtle, there is nothing that can make people happy?"
The middle-aged man was silent for a long time, and then said lightly: "There seems to be a fresh face who came to give gifts today, it seems that that person and Liu Futang are old acquaintances, looking at the appearance of that person, he should have come to join you." ”
"Running to me, interesting. In the past two years, our Yan family has not entered a newcomer. What do you think of that man?" said the old man, tapping his fingers on the armrest of the seat.
The middle-aged man replied, "I look at that person like a scholar, but I don't see anything else." ”
The old man smiled: "Hearing you say this, I would like to meet that person, but it also depends on the weight of his gift." ”
After hearing this, the middle-aged man brought over a box and said, "This is the congratulatory gift from that person." ”
When the old man took the box and was about to open it, he probably remembered the turtle just now. He stopped opening the box, and with a slight dip of his hand forward, he opened the box. Suddenly, the eyes of the two of them lit up. The old man took out the thing in the box and smiled: "A pearl the size of a quail egg is really a treasure." Although we are surrounded by water here, this thing is also very rare. ”
The middle-aged man thought about it for a while, then frowned and said, "I just listened to the conversation between that person and Liu Futang, and the meaning in his words seems to be that the person is poor and doesn't have much silver, how can he send such a thing?"
The old man smiled: "This may be his family's ancestral treasure." ”
"Since it's an ancestral treasure, how can he say as much as he wants?"
When the old man heard this, he put the pearl back in the box and said, "Do you think that person could have accidentally obtained a batch of treasures, but there was no way to sell the stolen goods, so he found us?"
The middle-aged man clapped his hands suddenly and said, "If that's the case, then this is a fat sheep sent to the door!
The old man said lightly: "See, of course you have to see." ”
"Then I will go and call him. The middle-aged man said that, he pulled his legs and left, but when he reached the door, he turned back and said quite nervously: "I said sir, what if that person is an assassin sent by another family?"
After hearing this, the old man smiled indifferently: "No matter what way he is an immortal, he can't help me, you go and call him, I have to ask where this treasure came from." ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man didn't say anything more and walked straight out. When he left, the old man looked back, intentionally or unintentionally. Then he smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry." ”
"This Yan is really good at cutting the door. Dong Ping picked up a blackened banana and said.
Liu Futang sneered and said: "This banquet is what Yan Bede has to use to collect money, what good things can he come up with, not to mention two buckets of swill, it is enough to save face." As soon as Liu Futang's voice fell, he covered his stomach and said with an embarrassed face: "I ate the wrong thing early this morning, and this stomach will not be angry, so I just pulled it twice at the bottom of the mountain, and now it is uncomfortable again." Dong Gongzi, you turn first, and I will be absent for a moment. Before Dong Ping could reply, Liu Futang couldn't wait to run towards the thatched house.
Dong Ping smiled when he saw this, and then whispered to Leng Piaopiao: "Give me the knife." ”
Leng Piaopiao was stunned when she heard this, and immediately said worriedly: "What are you doing with a knife?"
Dong Ping looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he replied: "I estimate that Yan Bei will see me in a while, I have to find a chance to get to know him." ”
"Ahh Dong Ping held Leng Piaopiao's waist and smiled: "Don't be impatient." ”
Leng Piaopiao calmed down and said, "Aren't you here to spy on the news? Why did you change to kill people again?"
Dong Ping smiled: "Now it seems that spying on intelligence is not much use, since there is an opportunity to kill a big leader in the water bandits, why not seize it." If Yan Bede is suddenly assassinated at this joint, then everyone in this Thousand Island Mansion will definitely be in danger. It will be of great benefit to us to annihilate this water bandit. ”
Leng Piaopiao shook his head and said: "There are three or four hundred water bandits on this island, if you assassinate that Yan Bede, how can you get out of the way?" No matter what you say, I will never let you go this time." ”
"It's okay to retreat with your whole body, when you just went up the mountain, did you see the difference between the water bandits on the left and right sides of the road?" Hearing Dong Ping's question, Leng Piaopiao was stunned at first, and then nodded and said: "Look at some, among the water bandits on both sides, some of them are full of fat stomachs, while some are skinny." However, I just heard Mr. Liu say that Yan Bede is an iron rooster who loves money like life and never pulls out a hair, so I know that Yan Bede must be very exploitative of his subordinates. ”
Dong Ping smiled and said: "You are quite clever, what you said is good, but although Yan Bede exploits his subordinates, it is only relative." Those scrawny bandits, from the posture of holding knives and guns, you can tell at a glance that they have been strictly trained before. They should be the Dou family army who joined the water bandits as Cui Ye said. This Yan family's current world was defeated by the Dou family's army, but Yan Bede is so mean to them, the resentment in their hearts has accumulated for a long time, if Yan Bede dies, they are too late to be happy, how can they help Yan Bede stop us?"
Leng Piaopiao still shook his head when he heard this: "You say it, it's all your words." What people think, how do you know?"
Dong Ping smiled: "I naturally know, didn't you pay attention to those people of the Dou family, the swords and guns in their hands are extremely sharp." And those red-faced water bandits, most of the knives and guns in their hands were rusty. Then I know that Yan Bede has no fighting spirit, and just wants to live in this corner and spend his old age in peace. But those Dou Jiajun still didn't forget their purpose of lowering their status and joining the water bandits.
This food and clothing is still secondary, but if the upper and lower sides are not the same heart. Then there are still people, do you have to sell your life to Yan?"
Leng Piaopiao said lightly: "What you said has some basis, but if Yan Bede is a master, what should you do if you are not defeated by him......" Just as Leng Piaopiao was speaking, she suddenly heard a cheerful soft sound. I saw that Dong Ping had already taken Jingxue from her waist and wrapped it around her waist when she was talking to herself just now.
Seeing this, Leng Piaopiao's face was slightly cold and said: "Your kung fu is really home." ”
Dong Ping smiled when he heard this, and then he reached out and pinched Leng Piaopiao's ass and said, "Don't worry, within seven steps, I will take his life and retreat." ”
