Chapter 223 [Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng]
Loulan City is built on the mountain and near the river. Its city is so big that it is boundless at a glance. The city is extremely prosperous and seemingly impermanent, but the void exudes a strong aura of cultivation.
The gates were not guarded, and everyone was supposed to be free to enter and exit. Therefore, this Lancheng became the most prosperous city in the second day, with casinos, pawnshops, shops, restaurants, inns, green buildings, all of them.
There are a lot of outsiders here all year round, so the pedestrians on the street do not feel the slightest curiosity about the arrival of Shiraishi.
Shiraishi walked down the hill and looked around, as if he was looking for something. What he wanted to find at this time was not Ouyang Jingjing, but to find a pawnshop, and after discarding the property obtained from those monks, exchange it for crystal coins, and then find an inn to rest temporarily, and slowly inquire about Ouyang Jingjing's whereabouts.
Soon, after walking straight along the street for a few meters, a pawnshop finally appeared not far away. Shiraishi subconsciously quickened his pace, and soon walked into the pawnshop.
The furnishings inside the pawnshop are very neat, but at this time, there is no one except the owner of the pawnshop. It was a middle-aged man in an affectionate robe, this person had a black beard on his chin, a black gauze hat on his head, and an abacus in his hand, he was concentrating on something at the moment, and beside him, there were some crystal coins and some crystal coin cards.
Bai Shi was stunned for a moment, and saw that the boss didn't take the initiative to greet him, so he spoke directly and said, "Boss, I want to be something." ”
Bai Shi's words made the owner of the pawnshop stunned for a moment, and after looking up at Bai Shi, he continued to play the abacus in his hand and said, "Did you lose all the money on your body again?" Alas...... People like you, who spend all day in casinos, how much money do they have. It's going to be lost, and as many possessions as you have, it's going to be done, say, what are you going to be?"
Bai Shi frowned slightly, and after taking out the storage bag, he said, "I'm sorry, boss, I'm afraid you recognize the wrong person, I'm here for the first time today." How can you say that you are a loser. ”
Hearing this, the boss's body was stunned again, and when he looked up at Baishi, he saw that Baishi took out a lot of belongings from the storage bag, and immediately pushed them to the boss, and said, "You estimate, estimate how much these things can be worth." ”
The owner of the pawnshop saw that there were still some blood stains on these belongings, and he could roughly guess the source of these belongings, and said, "These things." It's not easy to come by. The pawnshop owner said, trying to learn from Shiraishi's mouth the source of the goods.
Bai Shi didn't speak, but after seeing the boss's palm weighing these belongings randomly, he said, "These things." It is worth four thousand crystals in total, and if you want to do it, I will give you four thousand crystals, if you want to redeem them. You need six thousand spars, you see, how?"
The owner of this pawnshop gave a very reasonable price. And did not bully Shiraishi was the first time to come to this second day.
When Bai Shi heard this, he thought that these things were of little use to him, and four thousand spars were indeed a lot, so after agreeing readily, he saw that the owner of the pawnshop turned around, took out two crystal coin cards from a wooden box, and handed them to Bai Shi.
At this time, a panting man suddenly came. After the man came, he put his hands on the wooden cabinet, looked at the owner of the pawnshop, and said, "Boss Mo, lend me some more crystal coins, all my crystal coins have been lost, you can lend me some more, and I will give it to you after a while!"
The owner of the pawnshop gave this person a blank look and said, "You owe me 4,000 crystal coins, and there is no way to borrow money, so take things as pawns." ”
The man saw that the pawnshop owner was looking like this, his expression suddenly changed, and he said: "Boss Mo, what I Ye Qiu is doing with you, the profit is far more than the four thousand crystal coins, why are you so ruthless?"
The owner of the pawnshop did not look at him directly, but looked at Bai Shi and said, "There are four thousand crystal coins in these two crystal coin cards, and you can take them out if you go to any money bank." ”
Bai Shi smiled and nodded, and said, "By the way, Boss Mo, I still want to ask you about something." ”
The pawnshop owner asked, "What do you want to inquire about?"
Bai Shi said: "In this Loulan City, is there a person with the surname Ouyang?"
Boss Mo frowned slightly, and after recalling for a moment, he said, "Ouyang, I don't seem to have heard of it. ”
"Ouyang family, you should ask me about this Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng...... I know. ”
At this moment, the person named Ye Qiu on the side said.
Shiraishi swept his gaze over this person, but did not believe this person's words, and immediately turned around and was about to leave. Ye Qiu continued: "Ouyang Huangshi has a daughter, who is a daughter of a thousand daughters, and she is called Ouyang Jingjing......
As soon as he heard this person's words, Bai Shi suddenly became interested, turned to look at the man again, and said, "You really know?"
Ye Qiu showed a flattering smile, grabbed Bai Shi, walked out of the pawnshop, and said, "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go out and talk." ”
Bai Shi followed Ye Qiu out and came to a small alley, and then Ye Qiu looked around for a while, and then said, "What are you looking for the Ouyang family...... On this second day, not everyone can step into Ouyang's house. ”
Bai Shi looked indifferent and said, "I'm looking for Ouyang Jingjing... Do you know where their house is?"
Ye Qiu showed a wicked smile and said, "Of course I know, but you also know that those who do our job need to charge a certain fee." Ye Qiu said, stretched out his finger and rubbed it in front of Bai Shi.
At the moment, only Ye Qiu knew Ouyang Jingjing's whereabouts, whether it was true or not, but he had to give it a try, so he said: "Don't worry, I won't let you waste your efforts, as long as you take me to find Ouyang Jingjing, I will give you two thousand crystal coins." How?"
Hearing Bai Shi's words, Ye Qiu's eyes suddenly burst into a gleam, and he said, "Okay, okay." I'm a little tight on hand, though... You just heard that, so can you give me the crystal coins first?"
Bai Shi said: "Yes, but I can't give it all to you, I'll give you 1,000 crystal coins first, and the remaining 1,000 crystal coins, and then give it to you after I find Ouyang Jingjing, how about it?"
Hearing this, after Ye Qiu readily agreed, he led Bai Shi to the Qian Zhuang together, until Bai Shi took out the crystal coins from the crystal coin card and handed over a thousand crystal coins to Ye Qiu, and then saw that Ye Qiu was about to leave.
"Shall we go to Jingjing?" When Ye Qiu was about to leave, Bai Shi hurriedly spoke.
Ye Qiu paused and said, "I will set off in a few days, and I will wait until I can deal with the things in this Loulan City clearly." By the way, if you want to find me in the future, you can go to the casino in front of you. ”
After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he disappeared into Bai Shi's eyes with a puff of smoke.
Shiraishi didn't stop it, thinking that he had waited for such a long time, and he didn't care about the past few days. But if this person named Ye Qiu dared to play any tricks on Bai Shi, Bai Shi would definitely not let him have a good life.
So, after coming out of the bank, Shiraishi found a restaurant, and after eating something, he went back to his room, and after a short rest, he walked out of the room and strolled through the dimly lit street. When he relaxed and walked to another restaurant, there was a burst of wine in the restaurant, which made Shiraishi's heart have thoughts.
Shiraishi looked up and saw that the second floor of the restaurant was open-air, and the third floor was also open-air. Bai Shi walked into this restaurant, ordered some food, and walked straight to the third floor, standing on the edge of the floor, looking at this building Lancheng. Standing on top of this third floor, he could see most of Loulan City.
Time passed slowly, and Bai Shi drank wine while looking at the brightly lit Loulan City. It wasn't until late at night that Shiraishi collected his thoughts, returned to his place where he lived, and fell asleep in a groggy state.
In the life of Loulan City, five days passed in the blink of an eye in the loop, and in these five days, Ye Qiu never looked for Bai Shi in the future, until the sixth day, Bai Shi took the initiative to find Ye Qiu.
There are many casinos in Loulan City, and according to Ye Qiu, the casino where he is located should be the casino called 'Gambler' not far from this restaurant.
It was the first time for Shiraishi to enter this casino, and as soon as he entered the casino, Shiraishi felt an extremely uncomfortable feeling, which made him scan the casino and see a man dressed in black walking over.
The man walked over, looked Shiraishi up and down, pointed to the stairs in front of him, and said, "The casino is below, if you want to gamble, just go down there." ”
Shiraishi nodded, and did not speak, but walked straight in the direction that the man was pointing. Until the moment he went down the stairs, behind the man in black, a man in white, holding a paper fan in his hand, showed a sly smile at the corner of his mouth, and said: "This person is coming to our casino for the first time, show me a good look, and when he places a bet, will he be bold in his move." ”
After the words of the man in white fell, the man in black immediately clasped his fists and bowed, followed Baishi's steps, went down the stairs, and came to the underground casino.
This casino is very large, there are tens of thousands of square meters at a glance, and even in this casino, it is full at the moment, it seems that it is extremely difficult to even walk, and there is a miasma of black smoke.
Bai Shi subconsciously fanned himself with his sleeve, and after scanning his eyes in the casino, he soon found the so-called Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng and Ye Qiu's figure. (To be continued......)
