Chapter 1 North and South Wine Shops
Speaking from three years ago, Wang Qiu has been fatherless and motherless since he was a child, lonely and miserable, and has been relying on the relief of villagers in the northern neighboring cliff, and grew up eating hundreds of family meals, so he is also very clever.
There is a liquor shop in the bazaar, called the North and South Liquor Shop.
Here, there are three religions and nine streams, coming and going from the south to the north, the gambling tables are lined up, and the shouting of playing dice is very lively.
"Little Er, look at the seats!"
From the door of the wine shop, an old man in a black robe and hat walked in.
The shopkeeper was sharp-eyed and stepped forward, "Please come inside the guest officer." ”
In the corner, a hairy boy in a green cloth shirt, with straw in his mouth, and a pair of eyes that were dark and shining, instantly locked on a piece of jade pendant pinned to the waist of the black-robed old man.
The old man's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and he remained silent.
The soles of Wang Qiu's feet slipped and slipped past the proprietress who was twisting her plump waist, "Thirteen Niang, your figure is getting better and better." As he spoke, he grabbed her fat buttocks.
The proprietress was angry, the little ghost headed, and grabbed Wang Qiu's pigtails.
"Yo yo yo, light, light. ”
"If you don't learn well, say, how many big fish did you catch today. ”
"Hey, can the proprietress put down my braids first, it hurts. ”
As soon as he put it down, Wang Qiu slipped out like a loach. also grimaced at Thirteen Niang and stuck out his tongue, "Thirteen Niang, you will marry you when I have saved enough money." ”
As soon as Wang Qiu left, the old man in the black robe grabbed his yellow gourd and quickly followed.
Wang Qiu jumped through several alleys, came to a pawnshop, kicked the door open, stood on tiptoe and put the jade pendant on the high pawnshop board, "Old Liutou, come on, good baby." ”
A bald old man wearing thick and round eyes walked out slowly, glanced at Wang Qiu, and then set his eyes on the jade pendant on the case. His eyes gradually brightened, "Hey, little autumn ghost, you really got good goods." ”
Wang Qiu sat next to him, reached out to pick up the tea, and drank it with a slurp, "That's, let's see how much it's worth." ”
After a while, a trace of cunning crossed Lao Liu's eyes, and he slowly stretched out five fingers.
Wang Qiu squirted out a sip of tea, got up, picked up the jade pendant and walked out.
"Hey, what are you going to do, you listen to me!"
The old man hurriedly chased after him.
Wang Qiu put the things in his arms and clapped his hands, "Old Liutou, I don't grind with you, what kind of number do you give, otherwise I'll find someone else." ”
"What's the hurry!", the old man squinted his eyes and smiled, look at you, I haven't heard anyone finish speaking, how many years have we been friends, and I will still lie to you?
Five gold bars? Wang Qiu was stunned for a while, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Okay, good, just five gold bars, deal!"
"Pay with one hand and deliver with the other. Hurry up!" Wang Qiu hurriedly urged.
"Don't worry!"
The old man dragged Wang Qiu back with a drag and a drag. Let Wang Qiu sit for a while, turn around and enter the shop, and after a while, the curtain was lifted, and Lao Liu Tou walked out with a smile holding the tray covered with a red cloth.
Wang Qiu's eyes were shining with gold, he rubbed his hands, and without saying a word, he stepped forward and quickly wrapped the five gold bars with a red cloth.
"Ouch, little ancestor, wait, my jade pendant hasn't been given to me yet. Old Liu stomped his feet anxiously.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Wang Qiu hurriedly took out the jade pendant from his arms and gave it to him. But the moment he crossed the threshold, he stopped.
"What's wrong with the little ancestor?"
"This gold bar can't be fake, right?"
Old Liu Tou cried with a sad face, "I dare to lie to you?"
Forgive you and don't dare, Wang Qiu checked the gold bar in his hand and threatened: If you dare to lie to me, I will definitely burn down your broken shop.
This can scare the old Liu Tou into a cold sweat, he really believes that this little ancestor did it, last time because he fooled him of a pawn worth at least three ingots of silver, he was deceived by him with ten copper plates, and then Wang Qiu knew that in one night, all the tiles on the roof of his shop were smashed by stones.
As soon as Wang Qiu walked on his front foot, when Lao Liu Tou was looking at this jade pendant worth no less than 100 gold, suddenly an old man with a black hat walked in. What he didn't expect was that a small bandit had gone, but a big bandit had come.
Old Liu Tou hurriedly packed up the jade pendant and put it in the sandalwood box and put it in the dark compartment.
"Do you have other needs for a guest pawn?" Lao Liu stepped forward to greet the guest with a smile.
The old man in the black hat raised his head slightly, staring at Lao Liu Tou with cloudy eyes, that kind of cold gaze couldn't help but make Lao Liu Tou's heart tremble.
However, he often dealt with the three sects and nine streams in this line of work, and soon regained his calm.
"Hand over the jade pendant that the little guy gave you just now!"
Old Liu Tou was stunned when he heard this, pretended not to understand, smiled awkwardly, and said: Do you need jade pendants for guest officers? I have a lot of them here, you can choose one that is eye-catching.
As he spoke, Lao Liu Tou took out several pieces of warm jade from under the counter. They all look superb.
The old man in the black hat snorted coldly, suddenly stretched out his right hand, and a dazzling light suddenly shone, and then the curtain behind him moved, and a sandalwood box flew out.
When Lao Liu Tou saw it, he was so frightened that his eyeballs almost didn't pop out of his sockets, his hands and feet were weak, and he fell directly to the ground: You, you, you...... This is a fairy method......
The sandalwood box fell into the palm of the old man with the black hat, and his fingers flicked open, and the jade pendant lay in it safely.
Taking out the jade pendant, the old man in the black hat glanced at Lao Liu Tou indifferently, turned around and walked straight out, without looking back.
It wasn't until the figure disappeared from sight that Lao Liu Tou stood up tremblingly in the corner of the cabinet, and the fear in his pupils was not gone.
Looking at the empty sandalwood box on the counter again, the old Liu Tou, who had just stood up, sat on the ground again and cried. "My jade pendant, my gold bar!"
......
Wang Qiu happily carried a heavy gold bar, first went to the tailor shop, bought a new clothes, and then walked towards the north and south wine shops in a majestic manner, but he didn't expect that just out of the alley, this familiar figure blocked his way. That man was none other than the old man in the black hat.
Wang Qiu felt a sigh in his heart, how did he find me? Although he was a little surprised, he was not panicked at all, this is not the first time he has encountered this kind of thing, and he has been caught in countless such things, at most he will be severely beaten.
Wang Qiu was experienced, his face did not change, his eyes did not squint, like a nobody, he walked straight past the old man in the black hat.
An arm was gently placed on Wang Qiu's shoulder. "Boy, you're not going to give me an explanation and just leave?"
Wang Qiu sighed, didn't say a word, squatted directly by the wall, and shook out all the gold bars with a bang. Said lightly: "Count me unlucky, I have already taken the jade pendant, all the gold bars exchanged are here, you take it, if you are not angry, I will let you beat again, I will not fight back." But you have to answer me a question. ”
The old man in the black hat smiled, "Do you still have it, it's ridiculous, and you still want me to answer your question, boy, now you should give me an explanation!"
Wang Qiu turned his head and snorted: "It's bad luck for me to be caught by you, but you have to let me die to understand, since a year ago, I have never missed a move, but today I am planted in the hands of a bad old man like you." You have to tell me why, I know so much that next time I learn a lesson, I can't do it again. ”
