Chapter 2 Transactions
The table was full of wine and food, but everyone didn't seem to have much appetite, except for Luo Qiushui.
He ate with great interest and chewed every bite carefully, but he didn't drink anymore!
"I said, why are you eating so deliciously?In your opinion, you don't care about tonight's events?" Lei Laohu had been staring at Luo Qiushui for a long time.
"Such a good wine and food, if you don't eat it, it will be wasted!, come on, eat quickly?" Luo Qiushui raised his chopsticks and motioned for everyone to move the chopsticks.
"Childe, I can't eat it, the truth tonight is too sudden!" said Qiu Yue.
"I can't eat it either, just thinking about that face makes me feel disgusted!"
"Don't think about it anymore, it's important to eat! Besides, if you can't eat enough, how can you have the strength to think?" Luo Qiushui said with a smile.
"I appreciate you for that! Big things are small things in your eyes! Come on, come on, let's eat!" Lei Laohu said, first poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all, "Good wine!"
Luo Qiushui's brows furrowed slightly, and the beef slices on the chopsticks also fell on the table.
"Childe, what's wrong?" Qiu Yue hurriedly asked.
"It's nothing, I had a little itch on my back just now, and when I was nervous, my hand was loose. Luo Qiushui picked up another slice of beef from the plate, "This beef tastes good, everyone can try it!"
"Childe," Chunhua took the wine jug and poured a glass for Luo Qiushui, "Good dishes can't be without wine, I'll fill them for you!"
Chunhua glanced at Lei Laohu when she said this, "I'm not like some people who only care about themselves and don't care about others at all!"
"What about me again?" Lei Laohu glared at Chunhua, "That's my brother, I'm never polite to him!"
"Lord of white food, I have never seen you so unkind!" Chunhua said with a twitch of the corners of her mouth.
"Do you still want to go out, or do you want to stop talking in the future?" Luo Qiushui looked at Chunhua very coldly, although there was indescribable tenderness in his eyes, but that kind of coldness made Chunhua can't help but shudder!
"I, the slave doesn't dare anymore!" Chunhua said as the person knelt on the ground.
"Brother Lei once helped me when I was in the most difficult time, and anyone who disrespects him is the enemy of me Luo Qiushui!" Luo Qiushui put down the chopsticks in his hand and glanced at Chunhua and Qiuyue with his eyes, "I hope you two will remember it from now on! Next time, I won't remind you again!"
"Slave remembered!" said Chunhua and Qiuyue in unison.
"Alas, what are you doing here? Look at the little girl!" Lei Laohu hurriedly stood up and walked over to help Chunhua, "Don't listen to him scare people! With my Lei Laohu here, he won't do anything to you!"
Chunhua glanced at Lei Laohu very timidly, but she didn't dare to stand up.
"Hurry up and say something!" Lei Laohu glared at Luo Qiushui vigorously.
"Don't you hurry up, are you waiting for me to help you?" Luo Qiushui glanced at Chunhua coldly.
"Thank you, Childe, thank you, Uncle Lei!" Chunhua stood up tremblingly.
"Okay, everyone is happy! Come, everyone eat!" Lei Laohu smiled very happily, and he raised his chopsticks to make a gesture of please.
Luo Qiushui picked up the chopsticks, and then, Chunhua and Qiuyue also hurriedly picked up the chopsticks, an indescribable tacit understanding!
Lei Laohu casually ate a few green vegetable leaves, and went to find the wine jug on the table, but this time he saw that Chunhua took the initiative to pour him a glass, and he was no longer polite, and immediately raised his neck and drank it all!
Luo Qiushui glanced at Lei Laohu again, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and a pair of slender hands gently placed them on his waist - there was the flying knife he relied on to become famous!
"Why don't you eat it?" Lei Laohu persuaded.
"I'm full. Eat slowly!" Luo Qiushui said with a smile.
Lei Laohu stretched out his hand and tore a chicken leg: "Then I'm welcome!"
After only two bites, he felt groggy and scolded: "What kind of wine is this? Lao Tzu fainted after only two glasses!"
When he said this, the man fell headlong on the table.
Haruka and Qiuyue rushed to the door and window very vigilantly, Haruka pulled out a short sword from her sleeve and placed it across her chest, while Qiuyue took out a pair of silver rings and placed it in front of her.
Luo Qiushui smiled faintly: "Friend, I have wine and food here, do you want to come in and eat some?"
There was no sound, no movement, and no response!
The sudden dead silence was disgustingly dull, and everyone remained motionless, as if they were still, while a heart was carefully listening to the movement outside the house!
The oil lamp on the table flickered and danced, and everything else was like death!
"Does my friend want me to go out and invite you in?" Luo Qiushui finally broke the silence.
At this time, there was a knock at the door!
"Please come in!" Qiu Yue took a step back very alertly, her eyes fixed on the door.
The door opened, and a shopkeeper with a probe came in. He was wearing plain coarse cloth clothes and holding a pot of tea in his hand, when he suddenly saw Qiu Yue's nervous appearance, he couldn't help but be full of doubts: "Girl, what are you doing here?"
"Who was out there just now? Isn't it you?" asked Qiu Yue.
"The villain was passing by here just now, didn't you see anyone?" The shopkeeper thought about it for a long time and turned around to look at it, but he didn't notice anything abnormal, so he had to answer truthfully.
"What are you doing here?" Chunhua walked slowly from the window, her short sword had been put away, but her vigilance had not weakened.
"I'm here to bring tea to the guest officer!" the shop guy raised the plate in his hand to his chest, "If you don't need it, I'll quit immediately!"
"Of course you need to, you put it down!" Luo Qiushui stood up from the table, "Then I'll trouble you by the way, let's clean up here." ”
"Okay!" the shopkeeper shouted, walked over very quickly, put down the tea, and began to clean up the leftovers on the table.
Luo Qiushui stood aside, quietly observing the shopkeeper's every move, until he left the room with a smile and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Childe, do you think there's something wrong with that guy?" said Haruka.
"Not only does he have a problem, but he also has a big problem!" Luo Qiushui said.
"But, I saw that he was very skilled as a shopkeeper!"
"That's right, he is Zhang Dacheng, who opened a black shop in the rivers and lakes!" Luo Qiushui sat down at the table, "The only thing I can't figure out is that he has always only been active in Bazhou, why did he come here this time?"
"Since he has a problem, why didn't Childe stop him just now?" asked Qiu Yue.
"Don't you want to see what tricks he will do next? I'm a very curious person, I want to see it!" Luo Qiushui said with a smile.
"What about Uncle Lei?" said Chunhua.
"He's just been poisoned by someone else's sweat drugged, and he'll be fine after a rest. "Luo Qiu waterway.
"It turned out that Childe knew that someone had tampered with the wine early on, so he didn't drink a sip. Qiu Yue said with a smile.
"What I don't understand is, are those people so stupid that they only drugged wine but not food, and if they were also in food, wouldn't we all be fascinated?"
"There is also something in the meal!" Luo Qiushui said with a smile.
"What, then why are we okay?" said Akizuki, a little puzzled.
"That's because some dishes have it, and some dishes don't. Luo Qiushui said with a smile.
"Oh, I see, no wonder Childe is so careful when he eats the dishes, it turns out that he is tasting whether there is anything unclean in the dishes!"
Luo Qiushui smiled faintly: "It seems that this place is no longer safe, we must leave here immediately tomorrow!"
"Childe, who are they here for, and what are they for?"
"I don't know about that. However, I think things will come to an eye soon!" Luo Qiushui yawned, "This kind of thing, we are not in a hurry, they will be in a hurry! Now, the most important thing is to get a good night's sleep!"
"What about Uncle Lei?" Chunhua snorted.
"Carry him to the next room. Tonight, the two of you take turns to be on duty outside his door, and I think it will be very lively tonight!" Luo Qiushui said.
"Let's keep him on duty, what about the son?" said Qiu Yue.
"It's okay, I sleep better alone. Luo Qiushui said lightly.
"But once the son falls asleep, no one can wake up, in case someone comes in," Chunhua said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I won't sleep so hard tonight. Luo Qiushui smiled.
Chunhua and Qiuyue didn't say anything more, helped Lei Laohu to the next room together, put him on the bed, and went to stand guard outside the door.
"Why don't you keep watch for the night before and I'll watch for the night after?" Chunhua suggested.
"I'll be able to guard this place alone, you better go to Childe's side to guard it! Qiuyue said.
"But if the two of us don't rest, what if we don't get sleepy and can't make it until dawn?"
"Isn't it just one night, just hold on and it's over!" Qiu Yue said.
"You can do it, but I can't!" Chunhua frowned, "I can't stay up late." ”
"Forget it, it's better for you to go to sleep first, anyway, the rooms between Gongzi and Uncle Lei are not far apart, so I'll just look carefully alone." Qiuyue said.
"Okay, then I'll go to sleep first?" Chunhua smiled.
"Don't sleep so hard, I'll call you in the middle of the night. Qiu Yue reminded.
Chunhua was really sleepy, as soon as she walked into the room, she went straight to the big bed, and she didn't even bother to take off her clothes and lay down like that, so that she didn't even notice that there was someone hiding under the bed!
At this time, it was early summer, and the night was still a little cool, and Qiuyue couldn't help but shudder.
She looked up at the sky, and a crescent moon was now hiding behind the plane tree, peering through the branches of the plane tree.
"The moon is so beautiful!" Qiu Yue couldn't help but praise.
At this moment, the moon suddenly disappeared, and she felt that her eyes flickered, and before she could scream, the person had collapsed softly.
In the haze, Qiu Yue only heard the whirring wind in her ears, but she couldn't wake up with all her might, she only felt that her limbs were numb, and she couldn't use any strength.
I don't know how long the wind blew, but suddenly it stopped, and she only heard someone in her ear say very gloomily: "I have brought this chick, you come out!"
"Well done!"
The voice was deep and deep, accompanied by a gust of wind!
"That's right, this is Akizuki!, but what about the other one?" the deep voice said.
"Boss Li, don't worry, this one is coming, that one will be there soon!" The voice sounded as straight as a ghost, and at this time, he actually laughed very gloomily, unspeakably mad!
"Okay, don't laugh at you, you ghost! At night, if you scare me out of a bad way, you can't afford to pay for it!" said the mysterious Boss Li.
"Boss Li is really going to make fun of me! My job has been done, where's the silver?" Ghost Tousan said and stretched out his right hand, which was thin and dry, just like his thin face, and the knuckles of his fingers were very prominent, just like no skin and no flesh, looking like a devil's claw!
"Here are three hundred taels of silver tickets, you take them first, and when the one arrives, I will hand over the remaining three hundred taels to you!" Boss Li handed out a silver ticket, his hand was thick and fat, indescribably thick, and he looked like a businessman.
Ghost Tousan smiled and took the silver ticket: "It seems that you still don't worry about us! Okay, the first time we cooperate, I won't care about this! Wait a minute, as soon as the person arrives, you will understand our style!"
Boss Li took Qiu Yue from the ghost head three hands, just looked at it so casually, and pouted and said: "What a Peugeot girl! If you sell it to a brothel, you will make a lot of money!"
"Yes, how can you buy such a Peugeot girl for three hundred taels?"
"What person, come out quickly!" Boss Li turned his head around very vigilantly, and there was already an extra short knife in his hand.
"Don't be nervous, my partner is here!" said with a grin.
Boss Li's nervous nerves finally relaxed: "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years!
As soon as Boss Li's words fell, a black figure had rushed to him like lightning!
The black shadow took off a black cloth pocket from his back, pointed to the pocket and said, "I have brought you the person you want, pay the money!"
"Don't worry, I have to see if it's the person I want first!" Boss Li bent down to untie the black cloth pocket, took a closer look at Chunhua's face, and then smiled: "That's right, it's her!"
Boss Li smiled all over his face, stood up straight, took out a silver ticket from his sleeve, and handed it to the man in black: "This is the reward, please smile!"
The man in black took the silver ticket, rolled his eyes, and said coldly: "Boss Li also said just now that such a beautiful chick is definitely worth more than three hundred taels, do you really plan to take them from us for six hundred taels?"
Boss Li's face suddenly darkened: "What, do you want to regret the good price?"
"Ghost Fourth, are you trying to ruin our reputation?" said the Ghost Third angrily.
"Third child, I didn't mean that, I just think we are really unwilling to take such a little bit at such a big risk!"
"Anyway, we are principled in what we do! You must not break the rules of Deyue Tower!"
"However, tomorrow I have to repay the 1,000 taels of gambling money, what do you want me to do?"
"If you have money to pay back, you can't pay back your life if you don't have money!, but no matter what, you can't break the rules!"
"So that's the case!" Boss Li smiled and took out a silver ticket from his arms, "Since my brother is in trouble, I, Li, should also help!
The fourth ghost took the silver ticket in Boss Li's hand, and then turned his head to look at the third ghost: "The third one, five hundred taels!"
"Give the money back!" said the ghost san angrily.
"Ghost third child, don't you want to give this face?" Boss Li raised his hand, "This is not to break your rules, but I want to make you two friends!"
"We never make friends!And we've never had friends!" Ghost San said coldly.
"I know, you only have an employer in your eyes, but this time is different, you two owe someone else's money, and I happen to have too much money to spend, so you are actually helping me by taking my money!" Boss Li smiled.
"Help you?" the ghost was a little confused.
"That's right, if you help me spend money, then I don't have to worry too much about money, so you didn't break the rules at all, but did a good deed!" Boss Li smiled and touched his head.
"This is really a strange thing every day, and there are a lot of them tonight! There is such a thing in the world! Haha, someone else took your money, and they actually helped you! Hahahaha! What a strange thing!" the ghost old forty smiled very heartily.
"Hahaha!Who made you meet me as a weirdo?," Boss Li laughed.
"In that case, let's do a good deed today and help you, the boss with a lot of money!hahahaha!"
"It's not too early, everyone is still busy with their own work!" The fourth ghost laughed so hard that he didn't want to laugh anymore, "These two girls, should we help you give you another ride?"
"No need, I'll just call someone to come and take it away in a while!" Boss Li clasped his fists with both hands, "Two, please!"
"Please!" the third ghost and the fourth ghost hugged their fists together.
"Isn't it too rude to rob someone else's maid and leave without saying hello to the master?"
"Who's coming out!" the three big living people shouted almost at the same time!
"Come out, come out, who's afraid of whom?"
As soon as the words fell, a dashing figure fell in front of the three like lightning!
