Section 2 The Journey to Find Relatives Chapter 4 A Clue
"The whole world is turbid, I am alone, everyone is drunk, and I am sober. Looking at the romantic characters and looking at the present dynasty, there are a few people in the world who can understand. "This kid in front of me is very interesting, without the slightest hesitation, that is, if he doesn't ask me to find someone who can see a doctor, he will be fine if he pays more money. But he must be worried that he won't be able to become so anxious for long, and he can be regarded as a lover of personality, loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness. With this righteous word alone, the old decay will help you. "It's okay to save him, but the old man has always had a harsh requirement, to save someone's life, he will definitely send one person to hell, otherwise he won't save him. ”
Hearing this, he drew a long sword from his waist sharply, the sword flashed, and said, "People, I killed you." Life, I'm coming. But I forgive the junior's life for not being handed over to you now, and when I fulfill my wish, I will definitely return the kindness of Mr. at this time. If the time comes, if the gentleman still wants my life, I will silently offer it, and I will never break my word, and if I do not obey my order, I will be damned. ”
A gleam flashed in the old man's eyes, and he said secretly: "There is no hesitation. ”
Seeing that Mo Ran was still kneeling on the ground, the old man couldn't help but say: "Why are you still stunned, don't hurry up and help him up, if it's late, there will really be no way to return to heaven." ”
"Yes, yes. Mo Ran nodded hurriedly, and helped the shopkeeper up, laying it flat on the bench, and the old man picked up a silver needle with trembling hands. Silently pinched his sweat, whether this will work or not, it can't be that I guessed wrong.
The old man's trembling hand pierced the silver needle accurately on the acupuncture points of the shopkeeper, and he was silently surprised, the old man in front of him was really superb in medical skills, and the little second brother's face improved significantly after a few stitches, and his heart was silently suspended.
"The blood in the body has been opened, the broken bones have been connected, life is fine, and the next thing is just to rest. But with his character, he won't learn a lesson, and with this time, he will be nosy next time. The old man's words seemed to be talking about the shopkeeper, and it seemed to be warning silently.
Silently recalled every word of the old man, and said respectfully: "Thank you to the old gentleman for coming to the rescue." The younger generation is silent, and dares to ask the seniors to respect the name. ”
"The world laughs at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through it. You don't need to know who I am, just a passer-by in the middle of nowhere. Love and hatred in the world, grievances and grievances are difficult, and it is good to do it in the future. Then he turned around, walked to the counter, and asked the man who was settling accounts, "Little brother, is my gourd full?"
The man smiled and said, "Old man, your gourd is really peculiar! Dozens of jars of fine wine have not been heard, if you think it is enough, I will give you a 20% discount, what do you think?"
"Haha, I don't seem to have enough money on me, how can this be. ”
Hearing this, Mo Ran stepped forward and said generously and gratefully: "Don't worry, old gentleman, this wine is invited by the juniors." ”
The old man was embarrassed and said, "How can this be made." ”
Mo Ran smiled and said: "It's nothing compared to saving someone's life, the old gentleman doesn't have to take it to heart." ”
The old man said to the settler: "What do you think of this little brother?"
In that case, he will pay for it. Here's your gourd, take it. ”
The old man carried the gourd and walked out of the inn with a smile.
"Do you know who this little brother and that old gentleman is?" said silently to the settler.
"Oh, you say he, he doesn't want anyone to keep his name on his lips, you just think he's a cheater. By the way, you said that you would pay for his wine, and I have already calculated that there are a total of forty-three jars of seventy-year-old wine, worth 300,000 gold. If you stay and work as a handyman to pay off your debts, your initial salary will be two gold coins, and you will need to repay the debts for 12,500 years. If you don't pay it off as soon as possible, your children and grandchildren will be here as handymen for a hundred generations. The guy teased.
"Poof.... He let out a long breath silently, almost vomiting blood before he heard it.
"Since the words come out of your mouth, can this brother know how to make money faster, if you can trust me and are not afraid that I will run away, you must pay it off as soon as possible. Silently discussed.
"No problem, it will take at least thirty years to pay it off with your skills, you think that a bounty like this worth 50,000 yuan will be sent to you with a swagger, it doesn't matter if you die accidentally, who will pay back the money. But you can look into the streets, and less than thirty miles from here there is a bounty pavilion, where you can receive some simple tasks, and the reward is very attractive. The guy laughed.
Seeing that he was not flustered, as if he knew in advance that the old man would come to the rescue, he should have known who the old man was, but he refused to tell who he was, and he should thank him in the future.
The streets are lined with shops, and the twilight afterglow faintly shines on the red bricks and green tiles or the brightly colored pavilion cornices, adding a bit of hazy and poetic to the prosperous town in front of you.
Walking, in front of and behind him are the faces of the Tang people, who are either long, elegant, fresh, or sophisticated, the carriages and horses are sparkling, the flow of people is like weaving, not far away there is a faint penetrating shout of the vendors, and occasionally there is a long neighing of horses, silently feeling like being in a colorful and rich picture.
"This son, please stay. ”
Silently stopped, turned to look at the person who spoke, and said, "What are you looking for me!"
"Little brother, don't blame, I am on the orders of my eldest brother to put this in your hands. "This person is none other than Liu Biao, who did not speak among the three yesterday.
Silently took it, there were ten pieces of white paper, with complex lines printed on them, and he was curious when he saw this: "What is this?"
"This is the light of the little brother, hand over the bounty head, deduct 20% of the handling fee, and we will have a share of the remaining 40,000 gold coins, and each person will share 10,000. Liu Biao replied.
"Oh, I just happened to be short of money! He asked silently.
The little brother laughed, and the three of us brothers were already planning to leave here and go home to live a comforting life. Although that person was killed by you, he was nominally our three brothers, and the reward of 50,000 gold was not a small amount, so we were ready to leave immediately, just in case. Liu Biao clasped his fists and walked towards the crowd, and disappeared from silent sight after a while.
Walking silently and casually on the street, listening to my ears, my mood gradually relaxed.
A thin but very sturdy young man appeared in front of Mo Ran, stopped Mo Ran and said, "This brother, please take a step to speak." ”
Mo Ran was surprised: "Who are you? Do you know me?" Mo Ran saw the stranger greeting him, and he was puzzled.
"Your name is Mo Ran, you just woke up and killed a bounty figure with 50,000 gold coins, and the person with you is called Yi Tian, am I right. The man who spoke was dressed in a variety of colors, with a pair of soft cloth shoes at his feet, a few patches at the knees, and two piercing eyes on his thin cheeks. I wondered if it was puzzling that people here were wearing shabby clothes from time to time.
"Brother Yi Tian asked you to come?" asked silently.
"When you came to Zhenzhou, you didn't even have a good time to inquire, your intelligence network awareness is too poor. I'm also going around in circles, to tell you the truth, I am the little overlord in this Zhenzhou, known as Zhang Qi, the head snake of the Jiangjiao. As long as you are a person who comes to Zhenzhou, even if you are looking for a fly, I have a way to help you find it. Zhang Qi grinned dryly and exaggerated.
Mo Ran looked up and down, people can't be good-looking, but I won't believe him just because of this, Mo Ran asked, "Do you know where Brother Yi Tian went?"
Zhang Qiyan's eyes were closed when he heard this, and he stretched out his hand and checked it in front of Mo Ran, not forgetting to whistle in his mouth.
"Is this?" asked silently.
"Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid, money. I, Zhang Qi, have two major skills, one is to spend some money to eliminate disasters for others, and I have long reminded him that the person you killed should have a catastrophe today, but he didn't listen, he was killed by you, and he didn't know what was going on. The second is to inquire about the package, taking into account the fact that the price of the ** question must be expensive, a question of 3,000 gold coins, first money and then answer. But don't say I didn't warn you, my answer depends on my mood, maybe I'll change my mind later, and decide as soon as possible.
Mo Ran's eyes flashed, and he wondered: "You know everything, how can I be sure of the accuracy of your information?"
You are an insult to my personality, my goodwill is not blown, you can inquire casually, who doesn't know, who doesn't know?"
Silently sorted out his thoughts, the Xuanzhen Continent is divided into nine states, this is one of them, even if the chance is only one in nine, I have to give it a try. handed over the ten thousand-yuan golden tickets in his hand to Zhang Qi, and said: "You said that you know the details of all the people who come and go in Zhenzhou, but can you still remember them more than ten years ago." ”
Zhang Qi took the golden ticket in Mo Ran's hand, slapped it a few times in his hand, and said a little scoundrel: "According to the convention, this is a problem, but seeing that you are so refreshing, I am also happy with Zhang Ye today, so I will tell you the truth." You don't know who I, Zhang Qi, are, but it doesn't mean that others don't know, and you don't need to ask. Twenty years ago, to today, and even a month from now, I know exactly what kind of people will come. What Li Guangshan and Zhou's widow are okay, who did the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family run away, up to the earth-shattering, down to trivialities, I Zhou Qi knows everything. ”
"Yes!" Mo Ran's voice turned cold, his body trembled a few times with excitement, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he stared at Zhou Qi coldly.
Zhou Qi was surprised by Mo Ran's sudden change of face, but his expression was a little sluggish, as if he regarded himself as a dead man. (This kid can't be sent by any force, right!) Everything was calculated by him, and besides, he dared to provoke the subordinates of the Valley of the Wicked as soon as he came out, although he was not an important person, but he was killed in front of everyone with such fanfare, unless this kid was crazy, or he was a stunned young man, everyone had already regarded him as a dead man at that time, and the Valley of the Wicked People would have to find him sooner or later, if there was no powerful force behind him, how could he dare to be so unscrupulous.) )
