"Cause" (2)
When Lang walked out of the gate with his companion, a man with a sword on his back walked out of the big restaurant diagonally opposite, with a very sad and melancholy on his face, which was quite different from the slight sadness in his heart at this time, but he couldn't hide his heroic spirit. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The two met on the street, and they were shocked by each other's good bearing, Lang hugged his fist, the other party was stunned, and after saluting each other, they did their own things without saying much.
The melancholy man had just accidentally met with the fish catcher of the six doors, and Yu Ehime recognized him, and talked about the master in their greetings, and she recognized a junior brother.
It turns out that "Hay Sword", "Araki Sword", "Dry Bamboo Sword", and "Broken Stone Sword" are the four teachers of Yu Ehime, and the four senior brothers of the "Love Hero", and this person is the only descendant of the "Love Hero" Adult, and is naturally the younger brother of Yu Ehime.
During the conversation, this person asked his senior sister about a person who made him think about it for a long time.
His ancestral home is Hefei, and his family has been in the jewelry business for generations.
In the middle of winter that year, one night when the snow first stopped, he had just done a good business, and on the way home, he saw that there was no rich man on the street except him, some were doing manual work, some were sent by the proprietor to run, and there were even more small traders who had not yet closed their stalls, anyway, they were all begging for a living in the cold, and he was even more uncomfortable when he was already melancholy, and began to think about how to help the poor after selling this bag of jade gall, and suddenly the voice of a trader caught his attention.
"Uncle, do you want to buy a fire fold?" "Grandpa, you can buy a fire fold." "Little brother, buy it. ”
This is a very poor little girl, she wears coarse cloth and thin clothes that are more tattered than ordinary poor people, only better than those who ask for food, her head is simply combed with pigtails, and her shoes and socks are so tattered that she almost lets most of the two heavenly feet outside, and she begs for a long time, and no one buys her fire folds, probably because everyone has their own business.
He involuntarily followed the little girl until she crouched in the corner of a dead-end and made a fire.
His eyes were moist, and he could imagine what she saw in the light of the fire, the fire, the food, the good things she longed for, and even the deceased relatives who could take her to a place where there was no cold, no hunger, no pain.
He walked up to her gently, unable to bear to pull her out of the beautiful fantasy of the firelight back into the harsh reality.
"Did you buy a fire fold?" she said when she found Xiao Ranjing and stood up.
But he didn't hear it, staring at her hands and feet, the little girl's frozen hands and feet were too cute, but he didn't have the slightest evil thoughts in his mind, but his heart was extremely heavy, sighing that a small flower that had not yet opened was so destroyed by the sky, and couldn't help but grab her hands with pity, if it weren't for her identity, I really wanted to hold her hands and feet in my arms to warm up.
The little girl didn't dodge, looking at the expression on her face as if she didn't understand things yet, or felt the kindness of the other party.
He took her to a warm restaurant, called for the best food in the restaurant, and the little girl became a hungry tiger.
"Doesn't I look ugly when I eat?" was the second thing the little girl said to him, but it didn't delay her from continuing to pretend to be a hungry tiger.
He looked up and smiled out of smirk, "No." ”
"Then why don't you even look at me?" "Because my nickname is 'The Devil of Sorrow.'" "Are you Xiao Ranjing?"
She seemed startled, but she still kept chopsticks.
"Yes, it's me. "So you're in the baby business?" "You have a nice bag around your waist. That's the baby, isn't it?"
Xiao Ranjing untied the bag and took out a jade gall to show her. You must know that jade gall is priced in the business field, but if you don't know the goods, you won't pick up the thing if you throw it on the street.
The little girl was already frowning, and her eating movements slowed down a little, "I heard that the treasures are all used to be buried with the dead. ”
"That kind of treasure is called a dead weapon, which can show how noble the identity of the deceased is, but it attracts more tomb robbers. "Tomb robber?" "It is to dig up people's graves and steal the artifacts." There was a man named Huang Liang, who used the best black gold and steel stone as a spiritual weapon, and finally let a man named Wen Xiaowei steal it. I heard that the official family in Jinan, Shandong Province recently seized ......"
Xiao Ranjing suddenly felt that her words were a little far away, in exchange for making the girl start to be alert, and found that her expression seemed to be wondering if he was a liar, a bad person, or even a human trafficker, and he stopped talking for no reason, which made her even more afraid, and now she put down the dishes and chopsticks, grabbed her basket containing the fire fold and was about to run.
"Wait a minute. Xiao Ranjing stopped her.
"What are you going to do?" said the little girl, trembling.
"I ...... Who else is in your family?"
"I have a stepfather, who is sick and loves to lose my temper. If Xiao Ranjing didn't let the little girl go, she would cry.
Xiao Ranjing had already speculated that her mother might not be there, otherwise how could she be willing to let her come out to buy some fire folds on a cold night, it should be that she lives alone with her stepfather, her stepfather is naturally not good to her, and she must be forced to make money to support him at a sky-high price.
"Take this. Xiao Ranjing handed her a silver ticket and said, "Your stepfather may recognize this thing, you tell him that this is a silver ticket, and you can take it to the money bank to exchange for money." ”
After all, there are many poor people, and some people who have spent money in their lives and have never seen gold and silver are used to smash walnuts for a piece of ingot, let alone a silver ticket.
The little girl hesitated, grabbed the silver ticket in a panic, and ran away......
Until a long time later, Xiao Ranjing was still blaming herself for talking to a little girl about jewelry, she didn't understand, it seemed to frighten her, but after thinking about it carefully, he found something wrong, because of his love and sentimentality, he always looked melancholy, so he didn't like to look at people, and he always used his heart to "see" people, I remember when he mentioned "yellow two" and "black gold and steel" At that time, the little girl seemed to be a little excited, he didn't care about it at the time, he just said that a child has no knowledge, and it is reasonable to see and be strange, but he thought again, if he has never heard of it or seen it, why is he excited.
After thinking about it, he used his status and financial resources in the city, and late the next night, he learned the residence of the little girl who sold the fire fold, and he also learned that she had only recently arrived here, and that she was only one person, and only rented a room.
When he came to the outside of the room, the door was open, and he found a girl standing in the middle of the room, which resembled the girl's back, and the light in the room was weak, except for a small dim oil lamp, which did not play a big role, but even in the daytime, as long as the light was not lit, the room was also dark, and probably because the rent was cheap.
"Are you here for a liar? You're late. The girl in the room said with her back to him, her voice was thick enough for a woman.
"The girl is ......" "The surname is fish, the fish of silver carp." "The fishhead of the six doors?"
The girl didn't answer, and began to search in the house, and she was really like a capable case-handling master, just like that, Xiao Ranjing's suspicion was reduced a little.
At this time, the girl searched for a silver ticket from a drawer, "If I guessed correctly, this is yours, right?" She turned her face slightly, and raised the silver ticket at Xiao Ranjing, but without waiting for him to answer, "I heard that you made a jade guts business yesterday." Have you shown her?" said the girl, looking for it again with her bright and bright eyes.
"Yes. As he replied, he suddenly noticed that the bag was still hanging from his waist.
"Can you show me?"
"Okay. So saying, he was going to go into the house.
"Please don't come in, there are enough footprints of idlers in the house. The girl stopped.
"Yes. As he spoke, he tossed the bag to the fisherman's head.
One by one, the head of the fish fisher took out the jade gall and placed it in front of the oil lamp, and then seemed to be seriously thinking about something.
Xiao Ranjing also stared at the jade gall outside the door, and also wanted to find any clues from it, but in the end he didn't find anything, when he turned his gaze to the fish head, she suddenly put the jade gall back into the bag.
"Can you wait for me?" "Okay, the fish catches their own heads. ”
So, the head of the fish catcher quickly walked out of the house with the jade gall and the silver ticket, and immediately turned into an alley as soon as he went out.
Xiao Ranjing thought to himself that maybe the fish catcher had found some clues on the jade gall, and maybe he would bring the female liar to him in a while, but the strange thing was that he didn't know why, he didn't hate the little girl who sold fire until now.
An hour passed...... Two hours have passed...... He waited until the city gate should be opened, but neither the fish catcher nor the female liar came back, and the more Xiao Ranjing thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he hurriedly turned into the alley, and inquired all the way, and finally knew that the girl had already left the city......
The jade gall Xiao Ran realm was found outside the city, but it was not a bag, the bag was thrown in the high barren grass in the open space, and there was a jade gall that stayed alone next to the bag, and as long as he walked into the grass a few steps, he could find another one, so Xiao Ran Jing searched all the way, collecting it as he went.
Just when the jade gall was all collected, a girl's heart-rending screams made Xiao Ranjing's heart twitch.
He hurriedly carried out the light work, did not make a sound that ordinary people could detect, and looked for the place where the sound came from.
"Where are you hiding ******?" said a mixture of snoring and crying, "Who's coming out!"
Xiao Ranjing was slightly startled, and immediately walked out of the grass to see, the little girl who sold fire folds or the "fish catcher" in the dark house last night, at this time was tied up by five flowers, and was tied to the neck by a hemp rope, the rope head was tightly held in the left hand of a fat man who was tired of it, the girl was in tears and miserable, looking very miserable, more distressing than the cold she suffered in that harsh winter.
The fat man looked at Xiao Ranjing, "You are the one surnamed Xiao." After that, he raised his left foot, touched the girl's back with his toes, and pulled the rope into his arms, without a trace of pity for the jade, "Where's the jade gall, take it out quickly!" he pressed, looking impatient at any time.
"Jade Guts is here, don't hurt her again!" he threw it casually.
"And all the money you have on you. ”
Xiao Ranjing did the same, it seemed that he didn't want the girl to suffer a little more.
The fat man picked up the bag and purse on the ground, smiled greedily and annoyingly, and said as he tugged into his arms, "You have a lot of affection for this little girl." After saying that, he strangled the girl's neck from behind with his left arm, "If you want this girl to be fine, don't move." He held the girl hostage, and walked towards the barren grass more than one person tall as he spoke, he was going to run away, knowing that Xiao Ranjing would not shoot casually, but the fat man's hand began to be dishonest, and he dared to touch the girl's breasts.
The girl's tear-stained face was slightly angry, and she threw her head up, knocking him into his nostrils and bleeding.
He covered his face with his hand as soon as he was in pain.
Xiao Ranjing immediately flew forward, knocked him to the ground with a mouth, and after snatching the rope in his hand, he found that the other end of the rope was empty, and he looked at the little girl without a sound or shadow, and when he lowered his head, he also found the rope that fell on the ground, and his jade gall and purse were gone.
Xiao Ranjing grabbed the fat man's shirt and lifted it up, "Who are you?"
"Small...... The small ones are called under the spoon. The fat man replied tremblingly.
Xiao Ranjing frowned, "Your martial arts are so weak, how did you feel my traces?"
"It's not the little one who feels it, it's the girl who feels it. "The liar? Who is she?"
"Her name is Dou Niyun, her nickname is 'Laughing Wild Cat', and she is a well-known liar in the rivers and lakes. The little one was just instructed by her to beg Uncle Xiao to raise his noble hand and raise his noble hand. "At this time, the arrogance of Fang Cai has disappeared, this is really this time and that time.
Immediately, he was sent to the prison by Xiao Ranjing, and almost at the same time, he also knew that his silver ticket had been exchanged for cash.
Two hours later, he knew that his rare jade gall had been sold at a cheap price.
Three days later, a woman claiming to be the wife of the minister of the DPRK came to the official mansion and said that her ancestral home was local, and she left her hometown to be a maid for the minister's family, and then she was favored to be the minister's side room, and recently the minister's main room died, and she became the main room, so Yijin returned to her hometown to do some good deeds, and took out a large sum of gold and silver to relieve the poor, and in this way, the woman let the poor family spend a cold season and a happy Chinese New Year's Eve.
Later, Xiao Ranjing spent money to find out the appearance of the minister's "main room" from the officials, and he quietly checked the amount of money to help the poor, which was not much different from his own silver ticket and the money for selling jade gall stolen money, but he was not at ease, and secretly inquired about the minister's family affairs, and none of the ladies were from Hefei at all.
After finally getting confirmed, he went to Jinan, Shandong Province without melancholy, not to take revenge, but just to see the female liar who played himself around, maybe, and wanted to be deceived by Dou Ni again to be enjoyable, but what disappointed him was that he had always found Nanjing and did not have Dou Ni's whereabouts, he wandered the rivers and lakes to find for a few months, and just now he met the senior sister who was the head catcher in the six doors and wanted to inquire about it, but ......
“...... I once flew pigeons to Nanjing to inquire, and Shen Zhutou said that most of the money stolen and defrauded by Dou Niyun from the righteous path had been returned, and other crimes were suffering from insufficient evidence, so he was only detained for a while and released. And then where she went, I don't know......"
Now, Xiao Ranjing is even more melancholy, as if she has lost her soul, thinking about an old question as she walks: Where can she go?
