"Yo, isn't this the sixth master, please come inside!"

At the door of the gambling house, the shouting of the runner led Wang Liu into the ordinary courtyard. The gambling house does not pay attention to the gorgeous decoration, but is very low-key, and several strong men stand tall and sticky, which is quite a bit of the solemnity of the yamen.

"Bet?" Liu Jian stood around the corner and watched, touching his little chin, not knowing what he was thinking about in his mind. The little face unconsciously showed a shallow smile full of intrigue and trickery, stroked a few big coins in his arms, and ran into the pharmacy.

"Grandpa Fei, I'm here!"

The old man was sitting in front of the medicine cabinet slowly sorting out the herbs, and the trembling old hands seemed to be unable to hold the small scale, and it was extremely difficult to weigh the herbs. "Play by yourself, and I'll dispense medicine for you. ”

"It's okay, I'll work when I go back, you can do it slowly, don't be in a hurry. Liu Jian ran to the medicine cabinet and tiptoed to see the old man weigh the medicinal materials. Most of the black paint on the outside of the medicine cabinet had been peeled off, but the thick wooden planks had not decayed, but had been rubbed with oil.

The old man was very focused when he weighed the medicine, Liu Jian rolled his eyes, and seemed to ask a little casually: "Grandpa Fei, what did Wang Liu do just now?" ”

"Take the medicine. The old man carried the copper tray and poured a handful of grass stalks into the groove of the grinding platform, "Children, don't ask if it's okay." ”

"Oh. After eating a closed door, Liu Jian was not discouraged, and said with a smile: "I know that I know that I am afraid of medical treatment." ”

"What kind of nonsense!" Lao Langzhong glared at him, and lowered his voice again, "I know that you still ask, gossip and inquire about something, and you will inevitably be the same as him in the future." ”

"What's wrong with him?" Liu Jian made a look of fear, he will be the same in the future? This time he was really a little scared, and this old man's words about breaking off his illness could not be ignored.

"What else. The old man grinded the medicinal herbs twice, snorted, and leaned his upper body over a bit, "You see that his yin rises and yang is deficient, and the yuan yang is exhausted, this is a perennial excessive sexual intercourse, which has cost his life." I couldn't bear to tell him just now that he died no more than forty years later, and that early death was two years. ”

Liu Jian shuddered all over, and the old face that was close at hand was a little scary, and this yin tone made him feel a slight chill in his heart. "True or false?"

"Really, naturally really. Lao Langzhong shook his head and sighed, and walked towards the small door with his back bent, "Wait here, I'll help you dispense medicine." Don't talk about these things everywhere. ”

Liu Jian nodded solemnly, he was not stupid, of course he would not make a noise. It is no good to tell others about himself, if it reaches Wang Liu's ears again, so that he is alert and no longer fools around with the girls, won't it let him live for another two more years.

It took half an hour for the old man to take the medicine every time, and after thinking about it in his heart, he groped in his arms for a while and took out those few broken silvers, which were his only belongings now.

After seeing the Qinglou and not entering the gambling house, Liu Jian straightened his clothes, dressed in red and tied a pink belt around his waist, so he looked ...... Nondescript dress.

"Go, go, this isn't the place for you to play!"

"What kind of casino do young people visit, let your family grown-ups. ”

Blocked by two big men with long sticks, Liu Jian was not in a hurry and was about to show the skill of iron teeth and copper teeth, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the figure of Wang Liu, and quickly lowered his head and ran away, hiding in the medicine shop.

"Sixth Master is unlucky today. The casino runner led Wang Liu out, with a regretful smile on his face, "Bet more, maybe you can get back to your capital." ”

Wang Liu's face was sad, he shook his head and didn't say anything, a month's reward was only a stick of incense, and he secretly sighed at his bad luck today.

"Sixth Master, if he comes again, he will definitely be able to win them!"

"Well, I'll do it again. Wang Liu nodded, ignoring the flattering face beside him, and walked to the street with his hands behind his back. After walking away, the runner snorted fiercely, muttered a sentence of 'poor turtle boy', and continued to entertain guests who came in and out from time to time.

As soon as Wang Liu left, Liu Jian's interest in the gambling house lost most of his interest. I just wanted to go in, in addition to seeing what Wang Liu was doing, I just wanted to see this ancient gambling house, I don't know how it was different from what was filmed in the movie. Come to think of it, it should also be a scene of black smoke and miasma.

Carrying a few large bags of herbs back to hand over the errand, Luo's mother rewarded another bag of pastries, Liu Jian wanted to share them, but remembered that he had moved out of the house. He went back to the big house again, rolled up his bed, and carried it on his shoulder.

"Well, there's nothing left this time. ”

Some of them went back to the side yard with some interest, and when they passed by the flower garden, their hearts moved, and they picked up half a green brick and carried it back. This green brick weighs three or four catties, which is much more solid than the red brick porcelain built in later generations, which is a standard slab brick.

"Xiao Chunzi, what are you doing with bricks?" Li Xi, who was tending to flowers and plants in the courtyard, asked Liu Jian, "Beware of smashing your own feet." ”

"The foot of the bed is not stable. Liu Jian said, Li Xi just responded, and continued to water and prune.

I put the green bricks behind the door, opened the doors and windows to ventilate and diffuse, and ran outside for a long time, and I was a little tired at this time. After eating a few bites of pastries, I felt a little sleepy, and I wanted to take a nap while lying on the bed, but I fell asleep directly, and slept until I was called up by the little mosquito to work at night.

Liu Jian yawned, "Where do you live now?"

"Sleeping in a room with a few nursing brothers," the redness and swelling in the corners of the little mosquito's eyes subsided a little, "They are good, and they didn't hit me." ”

"Whoever hits you will hit him, what are you afraid of. ”

"We're young, we're not tall, we can't beat. ”

"If you can't beat you, you have to fight, otherwise they will always bully you when they see you as a bully. Liu Jian instilled the idea of resistance, and the little mosquito listened with a smile, but he didn't know how much he listened.

The night of the Qinglou is always busy, serving tea and water, and begging for clever words, but also chanting poems from time to time, and selling the ink in the stomach is not much, which is also a kind of professional sadness.

Soon it was late at night, and when the two girls said that they wanted to stay as guests, Liu Jian was able to drag his tired body back to the side yard.

Lying in bed, you have to rest, but now you are living by yourself, and you can't sleep upside down like before, at least you must close the doors and windows to prevent thieves and burglars.

The door had no latch, which made him somewhat worried, and he pulled the only round table against the door.

Glancing at the green bricks behind the door, he pulled the round table back a little more, leaving some gaps in the wooden door. With a 'hideous' smile on the corner of his mouth, he held the half of the brick and placed it on the slightly open eaves.

This move is purely a precautionary measure, but don't forget to hit yourself tomorrow morning, with the weight of this green brick, it will definitely not die or be crippled......

At midnight, the singing and dancing stopped, and Fengmanlou gradually quieted down.

In the breeze, a figure swept through the eaves like a bird, stopping in the treetops next to the big house.

What's the story tonight? The man listened quietly in the treetops for a moment, then turned and jumped onto the roof beside him, and felt for the side yard. The faint aroma of wine filled the air, but the footsteps on the green tiles did not make the slightest sound.

In the side yard, the creaking sound of the door opening was a little abrupt in this silent night, and a short and thin figure came out of the house, it was Wang Liu.

He tiptoed a few steps, and tapped a few times on the window of a house, and heard another squeak, and a figure about his size sprang out of the room.

"Are you really going to do it?" the man asked.

"That's still false. Wang Liu replied with a snort.

The two lowered their voices and whispered something in the corner.

"He's a kid, what do you care so much about. The man muttered, but took out a thin bamboo tube in his sleeve, "Let's say it first, after this time, Yanxiang will be mine next month, don't pay attention to it." ”

"Don't worry, didn't you promise everything, I brought the guy. Wang Liu patted his bulging waist, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "Drag him to the backyard kennel, those dogs have been hungry for a day and haven't been released tonight." ”

"Okay, listen to you. The man's voice was a little hesitant, after all, what they wanted to do was to take a human life, "Let's keep our hands and feet clean, so as not to be discovered." ”

Wang Liu also knew what his helper was afraid of, and laughed in a low voice: "There are still fewer little people who have died over the years? ”

The man was silent, and the two discussed a few more words, and then lightly touched the room where Liu Jian was.

Wang Liu listened to something at the door, and the helper leaned over to Liu Jian's window. His fingers were foaming at the mouth, and he was wet on the window paper, and he easily poked out a small mouth.

I took out the thin bamboo tube in my sleeve, unplugged one end, and carefully inserted it into the small opening. I put my mouth up and blew lightly, but there was still no movement in the room. The man smiled slightly and gestured to Wang Liu.

"It was finished, he slept like a dead pig, and he couldn't hear the thunder. ”

Wang Liu's face was overjoyed, and he reached out to push the two wooden doors, feeling that they were being held up by heavy objects inside. Greeted, "Come over and help, it's topped by this little." ”

"He's smart, too. Ran over and stood on Wang Liu's left side, and the two of them pushed open some gaps.

"Get out of the way," the helper was a little disgusted with Wang Liu's weak strength, reached out and pushed Wang Liu's body away, his shoulder against the door, and then pressed forward.

Squeak -

The round table inside was successfully pushed open by him, and the two wooden doors gradually opened. didn't have time to take a look at himself, showing off his innate divine power, he heard a bang, his head hurt, his eyes went dark, and he was unconscious.

The smile on Wang Liu's face instantly stiffened, and he watched his companion snort and fall softly against the wooden door, and his hands and feet were cold in an instant.

A little liquid crawled all over the side of the man's face, and Wang Liu swallowed, breathing a little short of breath unconsciously. His fingers trembled and reached out, his feet were weak, and he sat down in front of the door, his forehead dripping with cold sweat......
