Chapter 40: The Wine Shop
Li Mubai walked alone on the empty street, walking lightly towards the east of the city, although it felt a little inexplicable, but what if there was anything important?
So after thinking about it, Li Mubai decided to go. Of course, in case it was a trap or something, Li Mubai was fully prepared, and once the situation was not right, he would run away immediately.
Perhaps it was affected by the rumors in the city recently, and it was pitch black everywhere, and even the Qinglou was much more low-key.
It didn't take long for Li Mubai to stop and look at the inconspicuous wine shop in front of him, the door was not closed, and the dim light was shining outside, allowing him to see clearly the words "Forget to return to the wine shop" written on the shabby cloth.
Li Mubai's vigilance had been raised to the highest, his hand was on the hilt of the sword, the true qi in his body began to work, and he walked towards the wine shop step by step.
There are some slightly dilapidated stools and chairs, although so, they are cleaned very cleanly, without that greasy feeling, and there is a man who looks to be in his thirties at the counter next to him, he is holding his chin with his hands, drowsy, and he is not aware of Li Mubai's arrival at all.
"Haven't you come yet?" Li Mubai glanced at it, except for the person who was obviously the boss, there was no one else.
Li Mubai walked to the counter and knocked lightly on the counter.
The boss woke up suddenly, and saw Li Mubai at a glance, his mind was still a little chaotic at the moment, and blurted out, "Who are you?"
Li Mubai chuckled when he heard this: "I'm the one who came to drink." ”
The boss reacted at this time, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, what kind of wine does this guest officer want to drink?"
Li Mubai looked at this boss carefully, he looked average, with a Chinese face, a short beard, and squinted eyes, which looked a little weird.
"What wine do you have here?"
The boss was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Li Mubai, and when he heard Li Mubai speak, he was stunned for a moment before replying: "There are ordinary rice wine, aged rice wine, Fen wine, daughter red, I don't know what kind of one do you want?"
Li Mubai said casually: "Let's have a pot of Fen Bar! and two side dishes to accompany the wine." ”
"Well, wait a minute. The boss answered, and then went to get ready.
Li Mubai chose a table at random and waited quietly.
"Maybe it's early!" Li Mubai muttered to himself.
He didn't know a few people in this Qianlong City, the Gu family brothers and sisters and Uncle Zhang, even if they wanted to find him, they wouldn't use this method.
"Who is it?" Li Mubai thought for a while, completely clueless.
"However, after such a lot of effort, it shouldn't be to fool me, right? After all, knowing that I am still so mysterious, there should be something important!"
The boss came over with wine and food, interrupting Li Mubai's thoughts: "Guest officer, your wine and food, use it slowly!"
Li Mubai bowed slightly, drank himself, and the store was quiet all of a sudden, except for the occasional sound made by Li Mubai himself, the silence was a little scary.
The boss probably didn't feel sleepy, and asked, "Is there something wrong with the guest officer coming out so late?"
Li Mubai glanced at him and said casually: "It's just that I can't sleep and go out for a walk! It's you, boss, you are still open at such a late hour, where will there be people at night!"
The boss sighed, looking a little angry, mixed with a little helplessness, he explained: "In the past, my business here was very good at night, there were always some people who couldn't sleep at night, came to me for a drink, and some of them were old customers all the time, but these days, some big things have happened one after another, and everyone is afraid of being affected, and it is too late to hide, where will they run out at night." ”
After listening to the boss's words, Li Mubai was silent, this matter can be said to be promoted by him, and he didn't know how to say it.
Seeing that Li Mubai didn't speak, the boss thought that he was also deeply touched, so he comforted: "Don't worry! No matter whether these big families will fight or not, these days will definitely be clear, young man, you have to be careful, it's best not to run around, and stay honest at home." ”
When Li Mubai heard this, he was quite surprised: "Boss, how do you know that you will see it these days?"
The boss sneered: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and these families can't escape this good word."
Regardless of whether they are fighting or peace, their industry will be affected these days, and although they do not only have business in Qianlong City, most of their roots are still here.
Ten days and a half will not cause anything, but after a few months, there will always be people who are dissatisfied, even if it is the heir of the family who dies, who will put their own interests on the line for a dead person? If their interests cannot be guaranteed, there will be contradictions, so whether it is war or peace, it will be as soon as possible.
Although I am not a big person, I have met all kinds of people when I open this store, and I know very well what virtues these people have. ”
Li Mubai nodded approvingly, being able to say this shows that this boss has rich experience, and he should not be an ordinary person, but Li Mubai has no idea of exploring, everyone has their own **, and there are not many ordinary people, can he still learn about everyone?
"Since the boss knows that these days are not peaceful, and there are no guests at night, why is it still open?"
Li Mubai was very puzzled, since this boss has such knowledge, he should not put his own safety at risk for such a little money.
The boss smiled wryly and said, "I'm used to it! And although my shop is small, not everyone can step on it." ”
Li Mubai couldn't help but look sideways, this boss is estimated to be either not weak in martial arts, or has a backer behind him.
The boss consciously lost his words, coughed a few times, and continued: "I mean, even if they are powerful, they have to take care of their own reputation, I have been here for more than ten years, they will not do it at will, otherwise wouldn't everyone be in danger, and when everyone runs away, how can they continue to develop and grow?"
Li Mubai nodded, as if he believed his statement, but in fact, he was complaining in his heart: "It's strange to believe in you, they will take care of it, even if you demolish your store, it is estimated that at most it will make others feel a little sad about the death of a rabbit." ”
The boss didn't continue, and returned to his original appearance, not afraid that Li Mubai would run away at all.
After a while, just as the hour was about to pass, another person walked into the store, this person was wearing a hat that could cover his face in the middle of the night, and he came straight to Li Mubai and sat opposite Li Mubai.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Li Mubai took the lead in speaking: "You asked me to come here, I don't know what you have to do with me?"
"If it's okay, I won't meet you this way!" a somewhat hoarse voice came from under the hat.
Li Mubai felt a little familiar when he heard the voice, but he just couldn't correspond to the people he knew.
