Chapter 278: The Shorty Man with the Sharp-beaked Monkey's Gill
At this time, after a night of running and fighting, I felt hungry, so I found a random noodle restaurant on the street and ordered a beef noodle.
At this time, it was still early, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, most of them were farmers who rushed into the city to sell vegetables. Next to the noodle shop is a grocery store, and as soon as the owner opens the door, a person hurries in.
The shopkeeper saw that business had just opened the door, and said happily: "Brother, you are really early, what do you want to come?"
The man whispered, "Don't make a noise, get me two thick hemp ropes and a bag of lime powder." ”
The shopkeeper also lowered his voice and said, "Brother, are you going to fight someone?"
The man said coldly: "It's none of your business, you just have to get it for me." ”
The conversation between the two people clearly reached Ding Cheng's ears. Therefore, Ding Cheng looked at this person twice. The man was short and very thin, with some sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, and his eyes were sinister and cunning. This time, Ding Cheng immediately paid attention to this person.
The man finished shopping, packed it in a cloth bag, and turned around and walked out of the grocery store. Ding Cheng hurriedly followed. The man had not gone far before he came to a blacksmith's shop, and after a while he took a bag of things out of the smithy and went straight out of town.
Ding Cheng waited for the man to leave, then he also entered the blacksmith shop, and said to the man who was striking iron: "The boss has a good business, there is a business early in the morning, what did the guest officer buy from you just now?"
The man who struck iron picked up a piece of paper casually and handed it to Ding Cheng and said, "This is what that old brother ordered here two days ago, and he came to get things today." It's really strange that this old brother wants to fight something, I've been fighting iron for half my life, and I've never seen anyone want to fight this kind of thing. ”
Ding Cheng took the piece of paper and looked at it, this thing is a commonly used hidden weapon in the rivers and lakes, but this iron master usually fights things used by ordinary people, and the weapons he wants to fight are also ordinary swords, so he has never seen this kind of thing.
These things that this person bought were all harmful things, needless to say that he was going to do bad things, this matter made Ding Cheng run into it, how could he ignore it, and followed in the direction that the person left.
The man came out of the town and went up the hill, and in a short time he was in a dense forest. The mountain road is rough and full of thorns, and it seems that this mountain road has not been walked for a long time.
The man came to a stop halfway up the mountain, and Ding Cheng hid behind a big tree and looked at it secretly. I saw a person turn out from behind a big tree, this person was tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, which was in stark contrast to the previous person.
The two discussed quietly for a while, and then walked forward again. After walking a few steps, I saw an old thatched hut hidden among several large trees not far ahead, and the front of the thatched hut was covered with withered yellow leaves. The two slowed down and crept towards the hut.
When the two of them reached a distance of about three feet in front of the hut, they squatted down, took out the thistle terrestris they had bought at the blacksmith shop from the cloth bag, and scattered it on the ground. Then spread a layer of leaves on top. It looks like there is no trace.
When they were done, the two of them quietly approached the hut and leaned down on the small window to look in. Seeing that there was no movement in the house, the two gently pushed open the door and collapsed in.
Ding Cheng thought to himself, these two people are really vicious.
