Chapter Seventy-One: Fishing
The so-called good rain knows the season, but it is just the wishful thinking of the literati about the rain, just like just now, when An Qing and Xu Chen were chatting casually, with a few ripples on the surface of the pond, it suddenly swayed, and after a while, it was pouring rain.
This unforeseen rain seemed to indicate some unknowable bad luck.
An Qing hurriedly took Xu Chen to the hall of the back house to shelter from the rain, and the two stood at the door of the hall with their own thoughts, watching the lead sink dark clouds slowly gather.
I don't know if this sudden heavy rain is too understanding of human accidents, or I don't understand the amorous style, the long stretch actually keeps falling, from the sun shining to the approaching dusk, there is no smaller posture, it is the next non-stop.
Rain comes down from rain, but food is always eaten, whether it's a hospitable treat or an excuse for a sunny day.
Just when the two were chatting, the servants of Anfu had already made intensive arrangements, and finally when Xu Chen came to Anfu for almost two hours, the temporarily placed dining table in the hall was full of delicious dishes.
As for whether this is lunch or dinner, I can only rely on my own casual understanding.
In fact, enjoying the rain and eating a big meal was originally a kind of enjoyment, but Xu Chen had no appetite at this time, and An Qing made an exception to let Scarface eat together, which made Xu Chen's appetite even worse.
Originally, An Qing asked Scarface to be served with him in order to dilute the embarrassing scene between the two, but who knew that Scarface sitting opposite Xu Chen actually added a touch of embarrassment to the whole dinner.
There was almost no speech at the dinner table, and the three of them seemed to have come together improvised in the cafeteria.
An Qing is because of everyone's beauty, so she naturally does not eat and sleep to the extreme, and Xu Chen and Scarface are both coarse people, and the reason why the two of them don't say a word is that they are afraid of disrupting the whole dinner.
After eating, Xu Chen hurriedly said goodbye to An Qing, because he was too uncomfortable with the environment here, although An Qing said several times to wait for the heavy rain to stop or become a little smaller before leaving, but under Xu Chen's repeated insistence, An Qing had to smile slightly.
Originally, Xu Chen didn't plan to let Scarface send it to him, he wanted to say that he could just let a servant drive, but who knows, Scarface was uncompromising, and the obviously disguised smile made Xu Chen hate him even more, presumably he had already relied on Xu Chen.
Finally, under the gaze of An Qing's gentle wave of hand, the carriage started slowly and moved forward alone in the rain.
Dark clouds and torrential rain have brought the entire imperial capital into darkness early, and the streets have long been deserted of pedestrians, and even the vendors who had been setting up stalls on the streets have rolled up their stalls and gone home as soon as the heavy rain hit.
Xu Chen sat in the carriage bored, just thinking that he could return to the Dushan Sect as soon as possible, and quickly distance himself from this Anfu and the scarface who was driving, otherwise there would be no less trouble in the future.
Just as Xu Chen was cursing Scarface intentionally or unintentionally, Scarface outside the carriage said extremely calmly: "Xu Chen! No matter what happens in a while, you just sit in the carriage and don't come out!"
"Xu Chen?"
Xu Chen was stunned, according to the previous habit, Scarface called him Xu Gongzi, and with the instructions for no reason later, Xu Chen always felt that something was wrong, so he asked casually, "What do you mean, what will happen?"
"Haha!"
Scarface smiled casually, "Wouldn't it be a waste not to fish on this rainy day?" to tell you the truth, although you saved my life in the first place, I don't like you. ”
"Each other, each other!"
Xu Chen did not fall behind.
"Because I've always felt that you are a dangerous person, and if you get too close to the eldest lady of our family, you will definitely bring trouble to the An family. ”
Scarface knocked on the umbrella on the carriage, causing the rain to fall quickly, "But, since it was ordered by the eldest lady of my family, I have to do it again, I will leave in a few days, so it depends on today to solve the trouble." ”
Xu Chen was confused for a while, "Do you want to kill people and kill people?"
"Haha!"
Scarface laughed again, as if he was laughing at Xu Chen, "Don't worry! It's not to solve you, on the contrary, I'm helping you solve your troubles, of course, this is not my intention, but the meaning of my eldest lady, so you don't have to thank me!"
The more Xu Chen listened, the more confused he became, and in the face of Scarface's desire to speak, he said coldly: "What kind of trouble is it, can you talk to people?"
"Alas!"
Scarface sighed a little helplessly, "That night, you were able to kill that spirit master, I thought you were really a real person, it seems that I was thinking too much." Didn't you notice that someone was spying on you all the time?"
Without hearing Xu Chen's answer, Scarface shook his head and said, "Bai family! ”
It was pouring rain outside the carriage.
When Xu Chen heard Scarface say about the Bai family and Ghost Five, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. The Bai family, that is the name he will think of in his dreams, and that ghost five, although he has never heard of this name, but he has already thought of who he is at this time, the person who used to pretend to be a beggar in front of the Xu family in Yong'an Town, and secretly met with Yushi Zhang Qinglian in the Kuanyi Pavilion.
That person's face, he will never forget in his life, unless the other party is dead.
"How do you know he's spying on me? What is it called fishing, is he ...... today?"
Xu Chen didn't know how to go on after saying this, "Could it be that he already recognized me in Kuanyi Pavilion that day, and if he wanted to kill me, why didn't he make a move at that time?"
At this time, Scarface repeated again: "Remember, no matter what happens later, don't come out, just sit in the carriage and I'll solve it!"
The tone was extremely confident.
The carriage continued, but slowly, as if waiting for someone to appear.
Just when the carriage drove to a slightly remote corner, Scarface suddenly pulled the reins, and the carriage stopped abruptly, and Xu Chen in the carriage immediately became alert, "Could it be that what he said is true?"
There was silence around the corner, as if the sound of the rain had been reduced by the tense atmosphere.
The people who were lying in ambush around had only just arrived, and they did not rush to make a move, but kept observing, because they knew this carriage, and if there were other swordsmen in the An family who came with them, then they would have to stop there.
Finally, after a long silence, after making sure that there was no one else, the enemy hiding in the shadows no longer hesitated, and the sound of boots stepping on the rain gradually sounded, and it became denser and denser, closer and closer, even Xu Chen in the carriage heard it clearly, he subconsciously grabbed it towards his waist, but remembered that after coming to the Dushan Sect, he had never even touched the sword, nor had he ever worn it, which made him grit his teeth helplessly.
Although Scarface had told him not to get out of the carriage, how could he really obey? Xu Chen gently lifted the curtain and looked not far away.
From all directions around the corner, a group of people dressed in uniform walked out, and no one was masked on such a large scale, which seemed to be inevitable.
Maybe he had expected that Xu Chen would not be obedient, but Scarface didn't care, he was still leaning on the carriage leisurely, and pointed in the direction of the crowd casually and said, "Look! Do you know that person?"
Xu Chen looked along the arm of the scarred face, a young man who was obviously a few points shorter than the others, carrying a short knife on his back, the handle of the knife stretched out from his shoulder, he was quietly holding an umbrella in his left hand, and was looking at the carriage where Xu Chen was with a cold gaze.
"Of course!"
Xu Chen didn't say much, that person was the person he met in Kuanyi Pavilion, "It turns out that his name is Ghost Five!"
As he spoke, his hand couldn't help but clench, "Did you bring a sword?"
"Of course, why don't you ask me to give them the Dharma?"
"How many did you bring?"
"Absolutely. ”
Scarface replied casually, "Do I have to prepare one for you?"
Xu Chen didn't make a sound.
"The fat man next to Ghost Five is called Gu Tianqi, a famous gangster boss in the capital, I didn't expect you to offend a lot of people!"
Scarface teasingly gave Xu Chen a thumbs up.
Xu Chen snorted coldly, "I don't know him, then again, there are so many people, I think there are more than a hundred, and there are only two of us, isn't the gap a bit big?"
"What's the matter?"
Scarface grinned, "Don't worry, except for that Ghost Five and Gu Tianqi, the others are ordinary people, and they are just big people." These people should be easier to deal with than the people at the Wilderness Inn that night, aren't they?"
Just when Xu Chen and the two were talking softly, the gang leader Gu Tianqi had already led everyone to a place not far from the carriage, and he immediately raised his hand, and the hundreds of people behind him slowly stopped.
"I'm Gu Tianqi of the Xicheng Xiaoyao Gang, I know that you are from Anfu, and I don't want to be an enemy of your Anfu, so you can go, just leave the kid in the car behind. ”
Gu Tianqi was holding an umbrella in his left hand, and his right hand was always pressed on the saber at his waist, he was naturally talking to Scarface, but he didn't know who Scarface was.
"Oh?
Scarface was still leaning on the carriage casually, and at this time, he deliberately cocked Erlang's legs, and said leisurely: "Did you say something against your will, even if I want to go now, will you really let me go?" I think as soon as I turn around with my front foot, you will release cold arrows on your back foot, right?"
The muscles on Gu Tianqi's face shook suddenly, "How can there be such a thing, how can I be regarded as a big brother, how can I do such a thing?"
Scarface subconsciously touched the scar on his face, and said disdainfully: "You robbed here today, whether you can't make a move, or whether you let me go or not, you have already offended the An family, you must know this in your own heart." I think you must also know that if you offend the An family, what will happen to you, what kind of leading brother do you think you are, in the eyes of the An family, you are just an ant, you know, if you let me go today, you will have to die in the wilderness tomorrow, so you have to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, that's why you brought so many people over, am I right?"
The rain curtain disturbed his vision, but Xu Chen obviously saw Gu Tianqi's face twitching constantly, and he was angry that the mask was torn off.
"Say, do they all know me?"
Xu Chen asked thoughtfully.
"I don't know, you have to ask them about this!"
Scarface replied with a smile, but the smile at this time revealed a hint of weirdness, "But you don't have to worry, even if they all know you, it doesn't matter, because they all have to die today!"
