Chapter 70: Eating Dumplings and Talking About Murder

On the South Mountain, the old Taoist shrunk and stood in front of the Taoist temple, looking at the fireworks rising under the mountain, dragging his meteor-like tail straight into the sky, and then exploding, and finally turning into a little fire and returning to dust, with a smile appearing in the corner of his eye.

This is the foreign family of the king of the mountain, he thinks like this, and only his family has spare money to buy this kind of thing.

But it's good.

Everybody can see it.

"This little rabbit cub won't come back for the New Year, it's really bad!"

The clear voice echoed in the hills, like a clear spring in the mountains.

Fireworks in Chang'an City rained down from the ground and headed towards the sky, and the bright light reflected the night sky as if it were day.

But most people in this world can't afford fireworks.

Luckily, there are firecrackers and other gadgets.

In the seventeenth year of Jingde, he quietly walked away in the sound of crackling firecrackers.

Li Wenshuo was wearing a small black and red jacket, looking at the old man sitting on the kang not far away, looking at the old man shrunk in the thick fur, and said in his heart that I won't be like this when I get old.

In autumn, the flood season of the waterfall is over, and the amount of water is much smaller than at the beginning, and it has completely turned into transparent ice half a month ago.

Li Wenshuo, who grew up in the south, has never seen such a scene, and he didn't expect that the north would be cold like this, but fortunately, the ingenious and all-powerful Lao Huang set up a hot kang in everyone's room early.

Looking at the old man who was reluctant to go out, Li Wenshuo was also a little helpless, shook his head and pushed open the heavy wooden door, and the sound of whistling wind immediately came from his ears.

Suddenly, I felt a surge of energy coming from behind, and before I could react, I flew out two feet away and lay down in the snow.

Listening to the creaking sound of the door closing behind him, Li Wenshuo sighed and looked up at Lao Huang holding an umbrella.

"The old man asked me to ask, are the dumplings wrapped?"

The north wind howled, blowing on the face, and it hurt like a pinprick in the face.

The true qi in the body was running rapidly, and it was only then that some of the chill was slightly dispelled.

Lao Huang nodded and said with a smile: "It's in the pot." ”

In this year's practice, Li Wenshuo advanced five zhang at the peak of the waterfall flood season, and the meridians were almost doubled compared to the beginning of the waterfall.

The pond water also dived 20 zhang, but it still did not go to the end.

One day, Li Wenshuo took a rope and threw a stone down, looking at the disappearing rope in his hand, he was stunned to find that the pool of water was thirty zhang deep.

"Lao Huang, you said that you stayed on this mountain all day, and now you can't cultivate, and the old man doesn't teach me swordsmanship, when will we go down the mountain to take a look?"

Looking at the helplessness on Li Wenshuo's face, Lao Huang didn't want to speak very much, Li Wenshuo has been staying in the mountains these days, and he is indeed about to get sick.

"You can live well while there is still a little comfortable life, and you will have a chance to go down the mountain in two days. ”

Hearing this, Li Wenshuo happily flipped up from the ground, and just wanted to ask Lao Huang if this was true, but he saw a little pity on Lao Huang's face.

I couldn't help but feel a little weak in my heart, and asked tentatively: "The old man asked me to go down the mountain?"

Lao Huang nodded.

There has been a lot of snow on the butter paper umbrella, and it is heavy, and the oil paper umbrella that cannot be entered by swords and water seems to be crushed by these catties of snow.

Li Wenshuo gasped, the old man rarely asked him to do anything, except for accompanying Lao Huang on a blind date.

One is walking the waterfall, the other is going down to the deep pool, both of them tossed him to death, he couldn't help but look bitter, and asked helplessly: "What happened this time?"

Lao Huang didn't go to see Li Wenshuo, even after getting along for a year, he still couldn't understand what Li Wenshuo was thinking in his head.

It's the same with Lee Man-suk.

However, this does not prevent them from becoming brothers.

"Don't worry, the things that my uncle explained this time sounds quite simple. ”

walked into the kitchen, stirred it with a spoon, showed a satisfied look on his face, nodded with a smile, and said, "The dumplings are out of the pot." ”

The amount of food of the old man Shangguan and Lao Huang is not ordinarily large, and even the amount of food with Li Wenshuo later has increased, so their big iron pot is specially made by a blacksmith, and the soup dumplings in it add up to hundreds of catties.

Li Wenshuo saw that Lao Huang's right hand had already put on the handle of the pot, and hurriedly placed three basin-sized sea bowls on the table, and asked suspiciously: "You think it's simple, but it may not be simple when you put it on me, what is it, let's hear it." ”

I saw Lao Huang's wrist shake, and a large number of dumplings flew out of the pot with soup, floating in the air like a white cloud in the sky, and suddenly flew down, and even the soup fell into the three big bowls without leaking.

"It's to kill someone. ”

The tone was as flat as the cold wind in winter, blowing Li Wenshuo's heart cold.

sighed helplessly, sure enough, it was not much different from what he thought, and none of the people he knew had a normal brain.

The three of them gathered around a table, and Li Wenshuo expressed his strong protest against this, saying that in today's peaceful and prosperous world, we must always talk about the royal law on a sunny day, and this kind of thing is not in line with the demeanor of our heroes.

Then he was ruthlessly suppressed by the old man, saying that he was just a scum in the rivers and lakes, a moral gentleman in name, but in fact a villain who was extremely shameless.

Although he was still unconvinced, Li Wenshuo's voice of protest was still a lot quieter, and the old man would never lie to him because of this little thing, so he put it down and asked: "Who is this person's surname, where is the person, and how did he become that shameless villain again?"

The old man put a dumpling in his mouth, obviously not interested in explaining this matter to Li Wenshuo.

Li Wenshuo had no choice but to turn his gaze to Lao Huang, who was putting vinegar.

"That person's surname is Zhan Xiongxin, a person from the Huaihe Valley of Jiangnan Province, and he is a very famous local hero, but someone recently found out that ten years ago, in order to compete for the sword spectrum of the sect, he killed his junior brother's family of 17 people. ”

Hearing this, Li Wenshuo was also secretly speechless, the heart said that this family is really hard, thousands of miles from Jiangnan Road here, to avoid the limelight, you need to run so far, the road is so dangerous, and you are not afraid of anything.

A mouthful of dumplings was put in his mouth, filled with pork and cabbage, and he praised Lao Huang's craftsmanship again in his heart, and said with a smile: "Lao Huang, why are you in Fenghua Prefecture, and you know everything in Jiangnan Road." ”

Lao Huang was also eating slowly, frowning slightly, feeling that the salt was a little too much, how could this be, he had clearly calculated it before cooking, and Li Wenshuo, who listened to it, asked, and said in a daze: "Recently, the money has been spent relatively quickly, so I took an order and made some money first." ”

Li Wenshuo was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Lao Huang, didn't you say that you have at least 10,000 taels of silver for a list, and we don't need any money here, where did all the money go?"

Hearing this, Lao Huang glanced at him, did not speak, and continued to eat with his head down.

I only heard a lament from the side, Shangguan Yu showed a look of hatred for iron and steel, and said in a cold voice: "Are you embarrassed to say that there is no place to use money? Do you know how much silver you spend on the medicinal bath you soak on weekdays, why do you think the effect of medicinal herbs is so good, you can give birth to dragons and tigers the next day after soaking in one night, you have spent more than 100,000 taels of silver just soaking in this medicinal bath for most of the past six months!"

Hearing this, Li Wenshuo looked at Lao Huang on the side dumbfounded, and saw that Lao Huang also nodded, grunted, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his attitude immediately became extremely resolute.

"Where is this Zhan Xiongxin now!"

Hearing this, the old man snorted coldly, Lao Huang was still thinking about how to put too much salt, and Li Wenshuo, who had no one to deal with, was obviously used to this embarrassing situation, and smiled wryly, and launched an attack on the dumplings in the basin.

After a while, all three of them were full of wine and food.

Then the snow fell one after another, and the snow feathers dancing in the gray sky flew to the roof at will.

Li Wenshuo patted his bulging belly, burped with satisfaction, looked at Lao Huang on the side, and said with a smile: "Lao Huang, how much is this list you received, what kind of Zhanxiong letter is this, it doesn't sound very powerful." ”

Hearing this, Lao Huang nodded, stood firmly with the butter paper umbrella in his hand, and said softly: "A list of 25,000 taels." It's really not great. ”

"Well, I didn't expect the assassin industry to be so lucrative. ”

Li Wenshuo showed a look of eagerness to try, and said in his heart 25,000 taels of silver, I should be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven.

"Lao Huang, in this case, why don't you usually take more orders, with your ability, no one can be killed. ”

"Shouldn't you just say that the blue sky and the white sun should always talk about the king's law?"

Looking at the doubts on Lao Huang's face, Li Wenshuo was also stunned, and said to himself: "Amitabha, sins and sins, I almost fell into the eyes of this money." ”

"Actually, the main reason is that there are too few lists, and I don't accept the following orders from Xuan Che. ”

Lao Huang suddenly remembered that although he had calculated how much salt he should put in, this meat filling was mixed by Li Wenshuo, and his heart suddenly brightened, and he said with a smile: "You put too much salt." ”

Li Wenshuo didn't answer the sentence he originally heard, but he only felt that he was worthy of being the number one killer in the world, that is, domineering.

But something suddenly came to mind.

The boss with his eyes suddenly stared, and blurted out: "That Zhan Xiongxin can't be a martial arts master in the Xuanche realm!"

"Although I have been in the Xuanche realm for more than ten years, my qualifications are limited, and I estimate that I will stay in the Xuanche first realm in this life. ”

Lao Huang said lightly, as if killing a martial arts master was not as important to him as the extra salt in the dumplings.
