Chapter 2: The Murderer
As if they had been cast the same kind of spell, the four of them stood in place, with a very strange and mysterious look in their eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Is there such a curse in the world?
The golden light swept over the sky and landed precisely in the money jar.
Most of the time the things that can fall in the money jar are money, because after all, most people have a habit - people like to classify everything, for example, money is a big category.
Copper coins, silver, gold, jewelry, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, antiques, etc. are all considered money, this golden light is not jewelry, but an ingot of gold, although it is not big, but it is definitely enough for Boss Chu and his wife to eat and wear for a month.
A great thing suddenly fell from the sky, and a great thing fell on them, I am afraid that most people in the world will show the same expression as them, Boss Chu has come back to his senses, he looked at the mysterious young man, his pupils suddenly contracted violently, as if he already knew the identity of the mysterious person, but immediately covered his mouth, as if he was afraid and couldn't help but say it.
His eyes were already on his wife, who was looking down at the glittering gold in the money jar, and he took her hand.
His wife woke up at this time, he looked at the mysterious person who came out of the thick fog, and her eyes began to have light, the same light as Boss Chu, but she didn't subconsciously cover her mouth with her hands like Boss Chu, but blurted out: "You are the fortune teller?"
The mysterious man smiled slightly, he nodded very politely at the country woman, and said, "Yes, I am the fortune teller, sister-in-law, do you think my fortune telling skills are accurate or not?"
The middle-aged woman also felt a sense of fear and uneasiness, but she also smiled and said, "Yes, it's too accurate, but why do you want to pay us the silver?"
The mystery man replied more politely, and he said in a heartfelt manner: "You have waited for me in the cold wind and entertained these two distinguished guests, so how can I not pay you? This is your due, but now I ask you to do something for me, and I will not pay you silver or gold for this." ”
The woman still wanted to speak, but was pulled behind by Boss Chu, Boss Chu is a very timid and kind person, logically speaking, he should not stand up at this moment, but he stood up, and pulled his wife behind him, and said in a very vague and even trembling voice: "What does Childe want us to do?"
The mysterious man smiled slightly, his smile was more respectful and polite, as if the couple in front of him was not an ordinary facial paralysis boss but a princess emperor, he said: "The long night has come, the people in the town have already slept, but you have not slept yet, so I want to ask you to clean up your facial paralysis and bring your tables and chairs back to sleep." He said here and pointed to the square table where Lao Dao and the young man with the hat sat down, and he said: "You can take away the other tables and benches, but you have to stay on this square table bench for the time being, tomorrow I promise that they will stay here very completely, and no one will touch it." ”
The woman didn't speak, she had a very happy smile on her rough and ugly face, and she took Boss Chu's hand with both hands, it was obvious that she didn't want to be a big woman now, but just wanted to be a little woman.
Boss Chu nodded very decisively for the first time and said, "Okay, I'll clean it up immediately." ”
The mysterious man clapped his hands and smiled, and said, "I'm here to help you too." ”
There were not many tables, and there were not many benches, so they were quickly cleaned up, and the boss and the proprietress who were paralyzed had already left, and now there was only one table, three benches, three people, a pot of tea, and two bowls of noodles on this lonely long street.
The fog is thick, the night is dark, and the light is dark.
The mysterious man was already sitting in front of the old man and the young man with the hat, and he said with a very pleasant smile: "I have been waiting for the two of you for a long time, and now that I have finally waited for them, it is indeed a very happy thing, but it is definitely not the thing that makes me the most happy." He banged on the table very pleasantly, and anyone should have seen from his voice that he was pleasant in his movements.
There was not a hint of joy or anger on the old man's face, he looked at the mysterious man and asked, "What is the most pleasant thing for you?"
The corners of the mysterious man's mouth hooked up a more mysterious and playful smile, and he said: "Don't you already know? The thing I am most happy about now is that you have finally eaten the noodles prepared by Boss Chu himself, which is very famous and very delicious, but unfortunately this noodles have a very big drawback." ”
Lao Dao remained silent and said, "What shortcomings?"
Mysterious man: "The face is poisoned, but it is enough to kill any martial arts master, during this period of time, not only can you not operate your true qi, once it is operated, it will accelerate the spread of the poison, and even if I am drugged, I will not be able to save you." ”
Lao Dao and the young man's faces still did not change at all, but they still asked very calmly: "Therefore, you told the fortune for the boss and said that there were only three people who ate noodles today, because everyone else who wanted to eat noodles except you was sent away by you." ”
The mysterious man looked at the young man with an appreciative look at the young man in the hat, and said with a smile: "You guessed well, you are really good, very smart and rational, and you can indeed become a factor that affects the world, you really deserve to be the most outstanding heir in the history of Cihang Jingzhai, you are so good and interesting, so interesting that I don't want to kill you now." ”
The young man's expression was still as calm as water, and he looked at the mysterious man: "Of course you don't want to kill me, if you really want to kill me, you won't be here, and you won't go to great lengths to trick us to the vast mountains." ”
The mysterious man said: "Do you think that I designed you to come to the Vast Mountain?"
The young man said, "Isn't it? But so far I don't understand why you invited us to the Vast Mountain. ”
Lao Dao didn't speak, but the light in his eyes undoubtedly proved that he was really curious about this question.
Anyone does anything for a reason, even if it's a strange and unbelievable thing, there is a reason behind it, maybe this reason will make you cry and laugh, maybe this reason will make you creepy, or maybe this reason makes you feel unmatched, but I have to admit that this is a reason, a very good reason in the eyes of the person who did it.
Is there a reason for the mysterious person to go to great lengths to devise this? At least in the eyes of Concubine Xuan, there is a reason, there is definitely a reason, but now she doesn't know what this reason is.
The mystery man did not answer this question, not all questions he would answer, some questions he did not want to answer, that is, he would not give them, and some questions when he wanted to give an answer, no one could stop him from giving an answer.
The mysterious man sat opposite Shi Fei Xuan, he looked at the two bowls of noodles on the table, and soon moved the realization from the two bowls on the table to a bowl of noodles, which was Shi Fei Xuan's noodles, he sighed softly and said: "Your luck is much better than I expected, at least I can see that you haven't eaten this bowl of noodles yet, and this bowl of noodles hasn't been touched." ”
He said it very certainly, and that kind of tone and demeanor were clearly the tone of a big expert, which was convincing.
Shi Fei Xuan didn't speak, he looked at the young man.
The night wind is as cold as a blade, piercing to the bone.
It is indeed a very pleasant thing to have a bowl of noodles in the cold night, and the noodles at this time are much more precious than gold and silver jewelry, after all, noodles can be eaten, and gold and silver jewelry cannot be bought and eaten in poor mountains and bad waters.
This is a small town, naturally not a place of poor mountains and bad waters, but at this moment, there will definitely not be a store open in the town, so naturally you can't buy a bowl of noodles with gold, silver and jewelry.
The noodles were still hot, so the young man made a move that neither Lao Dao nor Shi Fei Xuan expected, he actually took the noodles placed in front of Shi Fei Xuan, picked up the chopsticks that had not been moved, and ate the bowl of poisonous noodles into his stomach very happily and seriously, he ate quickly and seemed to be very happy.
Looking at this sudden scene, even the amazing Lao Dao and Shi Fei Xuan were a little sluggish, but the two quickly came back to their senses, Lao Dao touched his stomach very indecently, and then looked at the half bowl of noodles on the table, the corners of his mouth hooked a smile, and he ate the noodles very naturally.
The sound of eating noodles sounded in the cold wind.
Shi Fei Xuan didn't eat noodles, she took a hat and sat in front of two people who ate noodles unscrupulously, she originally wanted to eat noodles, but now there are no noodles, her noodles have been eaten by Mo Qingchi, so she can only sit on the chair and watch the two eat noodles.
The noodles were eaten and the soup was drunk.
The mysterious man's speed of eating noodles is very fast, but he has a lot of noodles, so Lao Dao first finished eating the noodles, and Lao Dao showed a very positive expression on his face after eating the noodles, which is exactly the same as the expression of the great expert that the mysterious man just revealed, which is a convincing expression.
Lao Dao looked at the mysterious man: "There is no poison in the face at all, you were lying just now." ”
The concubine was shocked again, she didn't eat noodles, naturally she didn't know if there was poison in the noodles, but he believed that the old Tao's judgment should not be wrong, there was no poison in this noodles, if there was no poison in this noodles, why did this mysterious person wait for them here in the middle of the night? Why did this mysterious person waste so much energy on them? She really didn't understand this.
The mysterious man smiled, his smile still looked very elegant and gentle, he looked at Lao Dao and said, "Why are you sure that there is no poison in the noodles, is it because I ate noodles?"
Lao Dao smiled and twisted his beard, and said, "No, so I just ate a seasoning that shouldn't exist in this bowl of noodles, this condiment is poppy husk powder, I don't know if I'm right or not?"
The mysterious man smiled, he clapped his hands and said, "Yes, it is the poppy husk, so there is indeed no poison in this side, no poison at all." ”
Concubine Xuan has always been able to sit still, but now she can't sit down, a pair of eyes like a clear water are already staring at this mysterious person, and he really can't think of what this mysterious person's intentions are.
The mysterious man glanced at Lao Dao with admiration, and said: "I only heard that the person with the highest martial arts attainments in the world is the three great masters: Goryeo Fu Cailin, Turkic Bi Xuan, and Zhongtu Ning Daoqi, but I don't want Ning Zhenren, one of the three great grandmasters, to have such a study on eating, but in fact I am not lying, originally I was indeed ready to poison, but something happened and I changed my mind, so you only see poppy husks in your face, and you can't see another poison that can be masked by the smell of poppy husks."
