Chapter 18: The Girl in Green (Part II)
When he arrived at the door of the casino, Dugu Jianjing walked in, only to see that it was in full swing, and a large group of gamblers rolled up their sleeves, patted the table, red faces, and kept roaring, hoping that they could win. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He didn't like these things, so naturally he didn't take a second look, so he walked to the counter and asked, "Boss, dare to ask, is Lord Lu Wencai here?"
The owner of the gambling house was looking down to settle the accounts, and when he heard Dugu Jian's greeting, he raised his head and glanced at Dugu Jian, and said strangely: "Hehe, it's all gambling money here, and it's not for nothing to find someone, but I really haven't seen anyone who dares to find Lord Lu, upstairs, Tianzi No. 1 room, go!" Dugu Jian thanked him and went upstairs directly to the door of Tianzi No. 1 private room.
Pushing open the door, it was relatively quiet inside, there were only six or seven people in the whole room, and there was a man in armor sitting on the main seat, thinking that it should be Lu Wencai, there were two soldiers standing behind him, and there were three or four brightly dressed people on both sides of the table, staring at the color cup on the table, and there were a lot of silver taels in front of each person, it seemed that the gambling money was intense.
Lu Wencai saw someone come in and asked directly, "Hey, are you also here to gamble?" Everyone stopped and looked over. Dugu Jian didn't have a good impression of Lu Wencai because of Lu Da, but now he saw that this hall of generals didn't even go to train soldiers and horses, but gambled here to make money, so naturally he didn't have a good face towards Lu Wencai, and said coldly: "I don't know how to gamble, and I'm not interested." I just came to ask Lord Lu to lend the token of the city gate. Lu Wencai didn't laugh angrily, "Hmph, the turtle son is so angry, aren't you afraid that Lao Tzu will arrest you?" Dugu Jian shook his head, "Lord Lu, I don't think you may be able to catch me, so please take out the token and lend it to me." ”
"His grandmother's! I see you kid looking for death!" As he spoke, Lu Wencai picked up the big knife on the table and slashed it in the air. A few gamblers on the side saw this posture, and they couldn't even care about the silver, "Oh, run, Lord Lu is going to be powerful!"
The two Song soldiers also drew their swords and rushed towards Dugu Jian. They followed Lu Wencai all day long in the gambling house, where is there any serious kung fu? Dugu Jian's body did not move, his palms came out together, grabbed the two knives that were chopped over, and flew up with two more feet, kicking the two of them to the ground. He threw the big knife on the ground, jumped over, stepped over the table, and came to Lu Wencai's side. This Lu Wencai can be regarded as some real kung fu, but he has already been hollowed out by this wine, where will he be an opponent? "Boy, you dare to use force against the imperial court officials, you obviously don't want to live!" Lu Wencai exclaimed inwardly.
"I don't bother Lord Lu, I just ask Lord Lu to use the exit token, and I will return it when I finish using it. As he spoke, Dugu Jian's hand was slightly forced. Lu Wencai was in pain, and understood that his life was in the hands of Dugu Jian at this time, where did he dare to resist. His right hand trembled and stretched out to his waist, and he took out a palm-sized turquoise token, "Hero spare life, this is the token, please take it for your own use, and ask the hero to let go of the small one." Lu Wencai immediately changed into a smiling face, and kept stammering Dugu Jian.
Dugu Jian took the token with his left hand and looked at it, only to see that the front of the token was a big "order" word, and the back was a line of small words, "Immediately release the order, and must not be hindered." He nodded, "Then thank you Lord Lu, I will return it when I use it, and I hope Lord Lu will forgive me." Lu Wencai said with a smile: "Where is the hero's words, it's a trivial matter, this token hero takes it, no need to return it, no need to return it." ”
"I'm sorry to disturb Lord Lu's Yaxing, then I'll leave!" With that, Dugu Jian let go of Lu Wencai and turned around and left the private room. Here, Lu Wencai let out a long sigh, wiped the sweat on his head, "plopped", sat on the chair, and gasped for breath. Dugu Jian went downstairs and prepared to leave the gambling house and go to the east gate. But suddenly I heard someone shouting: "I said Wu Lai, you kid is really a scoundrel, you just won the money and wanted to slip away!" He didn't care, and left the gambling house.
When they came to the east gate, the defenders at the city gate checked the token, so they got out of the way and let the Dugu sword go out of the city. He asked for the road again, and went all the way east, more than twenty miles, but the sky suddenly changed, and the weather, which was not very sunny, suddenly became dark. After chasing down all the way, he didn't find any trace at all, and he was extremely anxious in his heart. After walking dozens of feet, I saw a fisherman standing on the side of the road selling fish not far away, and I only heard the fisherman sighing: "Alas, in troubled times, human life is really worthless, under the blue sky and white sun, someone actually robbed the people's daughter." Dugu Jian was overjoyed, knowing that the fisherman must have seen the flower thief, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Uncle, may I ask, where did the thief go?" The fisherman pointed to the east, "Look at him to the east, he should be going to the fishing village." Dugu Jian thanked him and chased eastward. After noon, he came out of the fishing village.
At this time, most of the fishermen in the fishing village have gone out to sea to fish, and have not returned, only a few people remain in the village, Dugu Jian saw a fisherman drying nets at the entrance of the village, so he asked him: "Uncle, may I ask, have you seen a man in black with a girl in green clothes coming here?" The fisherman looked at Dugu Jian and replied: " Yes, not long ago, there was indeed a man in black, leading two people in gray clothes and a girl in green clothes, and drove in the direction of Bixia Island. Dugu Jian was very surprised, and asked again: "That old man, can you rent a boat to Bixia Island?" The fisherman shook his head, "I'm afraid it won't work today, it's so bad weather, the fog on the sea is very big, and the reefs on Bixia Island are overgrown, so I can't go." Dugu Jian asked again: "That old man, I don't know who can go to this Bixia Island?"
"Only Lao Wang in our village has this ability. ”
"That old man, I don't know where this old king lives?"
The fisherman pointed, "The old man in the house in front of him has just returned from the sea." However, he has a strange temper, and the whole village knows that he only goes to sea once a day, and you can go to find him, which is probably not easy to do. ”
"Thank you, uncle. As soon as Dugu Jian gave up his hand, he walked over there. Halfway through, a strong man jumped out, looked at Dugu Jian, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I heard that you are going to Bixia Island?" Dugu Jian nodded, "Yes, this benevolent brother, dare to ask if you can take me to Bixia Island?" The man looked carefully, "It's a ghost place where birds don't lay eggs, although I'm disgusted with the world, I don't get tired of that, hehe." Dugu Jian bowed his hand and said, "Big brother, a friend of mine is in danger, and the younger brother is in a hurry to save people, and he asks the eldest brother to help." ”
The man muttered, "Hmm..... In that case, if you have five taels of silver, it will be a different matter. Dugu Jian did not hesitate, and took out five taels of silver from his arms, "Okay, there are five taels of silver here, and please ask the eldest brother to sail, let's leave for Bixia Island at this moment." The man took the money and carried it to his body. "I'll take the silver, as for Bixia Island......" Before the words fell, he turned around and ran into the alley. "I won't go to that ghost place! The so-called people have no windfall and no wealth, brother, don't blame me, just blame this world for being too chaotic. The voice floated from afar, and Dugu Jian couldn't catch up with him, and he didn't know where the man was hiding.
He sighed, "Alas, forget it, it's important to save people, I'd better hurry up and find Uncle Wang." ”
Lao Wang's house was very dilapidated, Dugu Jian knocked lightly on the door, and after hearing the answer, he walked in, and there was a musty smell in the house. I saw an old man sitting on a chair, and Dugu Jian walked over, "Uncle Wang, the kid took the liberty to disturb, and I ask the old man to forgive me." Lao Wang didn't get up, looked at Dugu Jian, and asked, "Do you have something?"
"Uncle Wang, there is an important matter in the future, I want you to take me to Bixia Island. ”
"Well, you can come back tomorrow, I only go to sea once a day, I have already been out today, and I will not go again." ”
"Uncle, a friend of mine was kidnapped by a strongman, and he couldn't be delayed, so I asked the old man to help him send the boy on a trip. ”
Lao Wang still shook his head, "This is not good, I will not go to sea again today, even if the emperor Lao Tzu comes to invite, I will not go, you go to find someone else." ”
Dugu Jian saw that Lao Wang was resolute and very helpless, so he had to turn around and inquire in the village. But when the fishermen heard that they were going to Bixia Island, they all shook their heads and refused, and none of them were willing to go. He walked slowly out of the village and came to the sea, but saw the strong man who had cheated him out of his money just now standing not far away. Enraged, he walked over.
The strong man also saw Dugu Jian, but he didn't run, but came over. "Hey, little brother, let's meet again. Dugu Jian looked at each other angrily, but the man was not afraid, and then said: "Seeing that you have a fierce look in your eyes and a murderous motive in your face, you don't want to kill me, do you? Don't you just take a few taels of silver from you? Five taels of silver for a piece of news is a good deal, isn't it? And only I know. ”
"What's the news? If you still lie to me, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!" Dugu Jian looked incredulous.
"In the whole village, only Lao Wang has the ability to go to sea in this kind of ghost weather. There is a man named Jia Laoshi in Lin'an City, who has a life-saving grace for Lao Wang, and Lao Wang responds to his requests. If you want Lao Wang to go to sea, you can go to that person and try it. ”
Dugu Jian heard the strong man say this, and thought about it for a while, "Okay, I'll believe you again, if you dare to lie to me again, you will definitely look good!" After speaking, he turned around and ran towards Lin'an City.
