Chapter 10: Seeking Skin with the Tiger

In the longing courtyard of a figure, there was a roar of laughter, a frightened cry for help, a rush of footsteps, and the barking of dogs, all of which converged into the face of a demon, smiling at Wang Wan. Not only that, but there was also a dark night around him, and a bleak night breeze blew, and suddenly turned the tongue of the blazing bonfire burning in front of him into a familiar human face.

This face has two thick eyebrows, and its bright eyes seem to be smiling at him, but his cold and handsome face seems to be venting his anger to him. Finally, Wang Million recognized him -- he turned out to be his brother-in-law Wu Dahai, who died under his knife on the night he was robbed by the "Crow Gang" 20 years ago. Suddenly, another gust of wind blew, and the brother-in-law's face immediately turned into angry ghost claws, and rushed towards him frantically.

At this moment, Wang Million woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he realized that all this was a dream of Nan Ke.

However, at this moment, there was indeed a roaring bonfire burning in front of him. Through the campfire, he saw seven malevolent men sitting in a row of chairs opposite. Then he suddenly remembered that he was still in the Dongling Ten Miles Slope - he remembered the dark evening - he remembered the bleak nightclub sign - he remembered the black rumbling inn and the two gloomy old men.

He remembered that he and his companions had fainted since they had seen the words "black shop" written in big red on the back of the inn door.

Now he could see clearly that among the seven men sitting across the campfire were the old waitress and the gray-haired old woman.

They were talking to a couple of other people.

"Are you sure?" asked the long, thin-skinned young man who sat in the middle of the seven, leaning on the right side of his chair with a dangling parting hook - he was Jodekai.

"Absolutely, yes. Ouyang Pei, who was sitting in the third place on the right side of Jude Kai, leaned over and looked at him and said.

So, Qiu Dekai nodded, and he suddenly asked Wang Million in a thunderous voice: "You are Wang Million?"

Wang Million was startled, and replied in horror: "Yesβ€”I am." ”

"Is it the king of Songshan Manor in 'Luoyan City'?" asked Qiu Dekai again.

"Yes. ”

"Fart!" Qiu Dekai suddenly became angry, and he said, "The king of Songshan Manor in 'Luoyan City' is a millionaire and rivals the country, how can he take a broken ox cart to our poor and remote place?"

"I'm rich, and I'm rich. "But that was all before yesterday." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The meaning is simple," said Wang Wanwan, "that my estate was taken away last night, and all my wealth was also taken away by him overnight, so that now I am a poor man in the outright." ”

"How is it possible?" the other party didn't believe what he said, he said, "Aren't there many martial arts masters in your village? How could it be taken away overnight?"

"I don't understand why I became poor overnight," Wang said with a sigh, "but that's the case." ”

"According to you, the person who robbed your manor must be very terrible?" the other asked again.

"Yes, like the king of the forest, let the beasts of the world be terrified. Wang Million said.

"And what's his name?"

"Wu Shuang. ”

Qiu Dekai was taken aback, he stood up from his seat and asked: "Is it the one who has been famous all over the world in recent years, and the people in the rivers and lakes call it 'Wu Shuangjian among the people' the first fast sword Wu Shuang in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"That's right, it's him. ”

At this moment, there was a disturbing commotion among the leaders, as if everyone sensed that danger was approaching them.

"Then why don't you go and ask Yanhu for help?" suddenly the old waitress interjected and asked.

Wang Million was suddenly startled, as if someone had stabbed him in the back, and he looked at the old guest again, and suddenly he remembered a vague figure he had seen twenty years ago. It's just that the face in front of him has been detached from the prototype by years and hatred.

However, since Wang Million recognized this frightened face, it brought him great fear, and at the same time, it also quietly added a sense of comfort to his heart, so he immediately answered the other party's question: "Yes, it seems that the only way to look for him is now." ”

"Where are you going to find him?" asked the old hostess.

"Taiyuan. ”

"Taiyuan!" the two old men asked in unison, "You mean Yanhu is hiding in Taiyuan?"

"Who is Brother Ouyang, this Yanhu?" Qiu Dekai suddenly asked at this time.

"He's a demon," Qin Dongxue picked up, and she said with irrepressible anger, "a man more terrible than the devil." ”

"You seem to have a deep relationship with this man?" asked Jode again.

"It's not just very deep," Ouyang Pei said, "it's basically hatred that doesn't share the sky." ”

"According to what you say, should we go to Taiyuan first?" said Jodekai.

"I don't think you have to go to Taiyuan," Ouyang Pei suddenly got up and left his seat, and he said solemnly to the leaders with a solemn expression, "I have a good idea to kill two birds with one stone." ”

"Oh!" said Jodekai, "Tell me about it." ”

"Let's play a game with them where the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind," Ouyang Pei said, "Let's let Wang Million go to Yanhu to deal with that terrible Wu Shuang, and we will watch the fire from the other side and reap the benefits of the fisherman, isn't it more clever?"

"Makes sense. Jode Kai nodded.

"In this way, we still have to do a business with Wang Million!" Dugu Xue, who was sitting next to Qiu Dekai, said suddenly.

So, Qiu Dekai asked Wang Million: "Wang Million, are you willing to cooperate with us?"

"Very willingly. Wang Million said, "Don't hide it from all the heroes, these two people are people I have always dreamed of getting rid of." Especially the Yanhu mentioned by this old-timer just now, he is really a heinous villain. ”

"Okay, then it's decided!" said Jodekai, "how are you going to thank us when the matter is done?"

From the other party's words, Wang Million already felt the sincerity of their alliance.

Wang Million said: "After the deed is completed, I am willing to give half of my wealth to thank the heroes for their great help." ”

"Okay, that's a deal. ”

"It's a deal. ”

So the leaders released Wang Million and his companions, and returned the broken ox cart and the old ox to them.

The ox cart is on the road again, and the place they are going to now is Taiyuan.

Along the way, they rejoiced in the aftermath of their lives, at this moment they tasted how happy and happy it was to have life, and suddenly, they had a feeling of happiness that they had never felt in their lives before--this happiness was not the temptation of money, not the temptation of beauty, nor the temptation of power, but rather the temptation of life -- the joy and glory of life.

So, they were much more excited than when they came, and there were endless things to say along the way.

The old coachman said, "Master, in fact, when you first chose to take this road, it was as if you already knew that there was no danger!"

"Of course. Wang Million breathed a sigh of relief from his chest and said, "I fully believe that this trip to Shilipo will not be dangerous." ”

"What do you think?"

"Because, I conclude that those two demons must be hiding here. ”

"How can you be so sure?"

"Yes, of course I'm sure. "Over the years, I have visited almost all places in the world, but I have never found any trace of those two demons. Later, I heard that there were two very old robbers on the ten-mile slope, and they were very strong in martial arts, one was very good at eagle claws, and the other was very terrible with plum blossom needles, so I concluded that these two men were the two poisonous snakes I was looking for. ”

"Sir, you really anticipate things like a god," the old coachman asked again, "and what does he have with Yanhu?"

"I don't know about their festivals," Wang said, "but when Yanhu asked me to deal with a large pile of dead bodies that day, when he found that the bodies of these two people were missing, this demon was so nervous and angry!"

That is enough to show the deep hatred between them. ”

"Yes, that's enough!"

The ox cart drifted away and finally disappeared into the vast expanse at the end of the road.
