Xue Hao returned to the inn to find Miss Luo, and sure enough, like the result of all chance encounters, Miss Luo was gone. Gone the next day. But she asked the shopkeeper to bring a message to Xue Hao, which was nothing more than some thanks, afraid of affecting you, and meeting again in the rivers and lakes in the future.

Without the expected sense of loss, Xue Hao felt relaxed.

It turns out that the promise is such a heavy burden. But sometimes we have to carry it.

Xue Hao recuperated all the way, and he didn't walk fast, and he couldn't reach the towering cliff until the day after tomorrow.

And Canghai and Xiaohu, who have not shown up, have finally embarked on the road to the towering cliff. In the past few days when Canghai was recuperating from his injuries, due to the careful care of the little old man of the ghost doctor, he often added new injuries inexplicably; Xiao Shell was really meticulous and took care of his brother guiltily, the reason was that Canghai wrapped his limbs in bandages when Xiao Shell went out to find Ah Wang, if it weren't for the ghost doctor little old man who felt sorry for those bandages and said to Canghai that they were not handsome, Canghai must have wrapped his whole body. Then after the little shell came back, Canghai pitifully said that I may be crippled for a lifetime and can't move, the little shell asked you if you are not swollen elsewhere, Canghai said that those are more serious internal injuries, the little shell looked at the little old man, the little old man sighed and shook his head, the little shell cried and then took care of his brother with sincerity and guilt.

During the period of recuperation, Canghai also asked Xiao Shell to read to him often the file from the news station, and Xiao Shell said distressedly: You rest, don't worry about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Canghai said awe-inspiringly: You don't understand, just because you are disabled, you must not be disabled. So the little shell was even more distressed, respectful and worshipped. Then, Xiaohua, who sold flowers in the teahouse last time, appeared once, and actually brought back the dirty clothes they had changed in Yilan Garden, and then said to Canghai, "Don't look for me next time to mend the wall, my nails are broken" and walked away. The small shell is very angry, and the sea doesn't matter.

Then, when Canghai saw that the time was almost up, he pulled the bandage all over his body and said Let's go to the towering cliff, the result can be imagined, Xiao Shell chased him for eight streets with a kitchen knife. I bet the sea has never run this fast in my life. Of course, Xiaohu's reaction is also understandable, after all, everything in the world can be deceived, but feelings can't be deceived.

After doing enough fast running, Canghai went back to the medical hall to rest, and Xiao Shell went back to the medical hall to settle accounts with the little old man: "Do you know that he lied to me why he didn't tell me?

The little old man said aggrievedly: "I have, I have sighed and shaked my head." ”

Xiao Shell said: "I thought you were saying that he was hopeless!"

The little old man said: "I mean, 'It's really pitiful that someone is going to be rectified, don't believe that he is fake', who told you to understand it wrong." ”

Xiao Shell was stunned a few times, but he didn't say a word. clenched his fists, but decided to continue to settle accounts with the sea. When I turned around, I saw that Canghai was so tired that he had fallen asleep on the hospital bed, and he slept very sweetly. A fire rose again. I was angry to the extreme, and I was angry, and the result was - I was stunned and made the little shell happy. He sighed and shook his head: I really lost to you...... Walked over and covered the quilt for Canghai.

What's in his mind, as long as his brother doesn't have anything to do, it's fine.

The little old man smiled on the side.

This is what has happened to Canghai in the past few days. My narrator is simple enough, right? Marl's!

On the day of the run, Canghai came back and slept until dinner, and after dinner, he had to continue to sleep, and Xiaohu said don't you want to go to the towering cliff? Canghai said that he couldn't walk, and he would go again tomorrow.

Little Shell really doesn't have the strength to talk nonsense with him anymore. So the next day, they finally hit the road.

Out of the medical hall and on the street, Canghai began to observe the business on the street with great interest, blowing a small breeze, very pleasant.

Xiao Shell finally couldn't help it and said, "Hey, aren't you in a hurry at all?"

Canghai walked happily on tiptoe with his hands behind his back. "What's the hurry? Now we will go to the Heavenly Cliff and arrive a day before him. ”

"How is that possible!"

Canghai turned his head, pointed to a rental shop on the side of the street, and said with a meaningful smile: "Take the carriage." Do you really want to walk?"

Xiao Shell had to laugh again, "Why, I'm not a donkey." ”

Xue Hao, who was in a hurry, sneezed at the right time.

on the carriage.

Xiao Shell asked, "How do you know that he will be late?"

Canghai squinted, leaned against the corner of the car, and was about to fall asleep, but he still replied very cooperatively: "It is written in the file that a person from the rivers and lakes broke into the 'drunken wind' the night before yesterday, who else will there be besides the donkey?" "Then I wasn't so excited. ,

Xiao Shell said helplessly: "You are too inhuman." ”

"Send someone to find out the news for you, and you don't care if they live or die?"

Canghai leaned back again. Lowering his eyes, as if in contemplation.

Shell leaned closer to his face and asked, "Are you really not worried about him at all?"

"Hmm......" Canghai thought about it seriously, pursed his lips, and said, "A little." I don't know how badly he was hurt. ”

Xiao Shell sneered and said, "How do you know that he will not die?"

Canghai pulled the corners of his mouth conceitedly and smiled. "Don't you believe him, don't you believe me?" the autumn sun shone on his face through the window of the rolled-up car, his eyebrows and hair were the color of fine amber, and his eyes were squinted like a glass of flowing amber wine.

Xiao Shell lowered his head and muttered quietly, "I still believe him." ”

Canghai supported his head with his hand, and said with a "tsk": "Next time you don't want me to hear it, just say it in your heart." ”

"Wow, what ears are you?" cried the little shell, almost jumping up, "you can hear the carriage so loud?"

"That's right—" Xiao Shell climbed a few steps and knelt beside Canghai, blinked his dark eyes, and said excitedly: "I've always wanted to ask you, why are there so many things that you can always hear but I can't hear? For example, last time in the teahouse, I didn't hear the words of the wind - what is your secret?"

"What's the secret...... Canghai looked up at the swaying roof of the carriage, and then looked down at the small shell, "There is no secret." I'm good at it. ”

"How good?"

Canghai thought for a moment and replied very seriously: "One hundred and twenty years." ”

Obviously unconvinced, Xiao Shell said disdainfully: "You don't come! Can you practice for 120 years? You have only practiced for more than 20 years at most since you were born in your mother's womb, you are a liar!"

Canghai shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't believe it." ”

Xiao Shell felt a little bored, and said after a while: "Then let me change the question, what task did the landlord give us this time?"

Canghai said: "Do it cheaply." ”

"What do you mean by 'acting cheap'?"

"It's up to me what the task is. ”

"What?" Xiao Shell's eyes widened again, and he said indignantly: "Why does the landlord trust you so much? Why do you have the final say? When did the landlord say it, why don't I know the truth?"

Xiao Shell asked three questions, and Canghai only chose to answer the last one. The answer is: There are many things you don't know. Perhaps feeling that he couldn't fully express his meaning, Canghai added: "How long have you been with me? Learn a little, young man!"

Xiao Shell pouted his cheeks because he was underestimated, smashed his shirt and said: "My father and mother asked me to come out with you for a long time, so you took me to the underworld, see how you go back and explain to them!"

"Big brother!" Canghai also sat up straight, threw the corner of his robe, and said, "Did you say that doing business is not fun and you want to uphold justice?" ”

The little shell pouted and stopped talking.

Canghai said: "Let me ask you, is it fun to support justice?"

“...... Playful. Hey. Shell laughed again.

Canghai stretched out a finger and pointed, "That's good." Then you have to understand three points, first, this is not the underworld, this is responsible for coordinating the black and white worldly institutions, not for fame and fortune, only for justice, so we are actually whiter than the white way; second, supporting justice is the cause of martial arts, it is the will of men, and it must not be treated with a playful mentality; third, for the safety of you and others, the less people know about our identity, the better. Got it?"

“...... Got it. ”

Canghai rarely showed such a serious expression, and the little shell was very uncomfortable, and it took a long time to react. When he looked at the sea again, he was like a lazy cat who had eaten enough at noon and ran to the roof to bask in the sun, curled up in a ball and nestled in the corner of the carriage, which gave Xiao Shell the illusion that he was talking to a ghost who looked like his big brother just now. Thinking of this, a row of black lines and a large water droplet appeared on his head.

"Ah, that's right!" Shell looked up again and asked, "And what is our mission this time?"

Canghai smiled, closed his eyes, and swayed lightly with the frequency of the carriage, but his tone was firm and unquestionable: "Save - Ren Shijie." ”

Xiao Shell pondered for a moment and said, "How can I save it?"

Canghai said slowly: "If you want to save him, you must first find him." Still with his eyes closed, but his face seemed to be very solemn, and without waiting for Xiao Shell to ask, he said: "And what we have to do now is to delay time, and we can't let the 'drunken wind' people find him first." ”,

The shell didn't ask. I guess I haven't sorted out my thoughts yet. To put it bluntly, I just didn't understand.

The carriage swayed all the way to the town under the towering cliffs. It was getting late, so the two sent the driver back and stayed at the inn.

Speaking of the inn they stayed in, it was really the largest, most well-known, most luxurious and most attentive in the town, and there was nothing better than this inn within a radius of many miles, it was simply famous. The name of the inn is called "Caiyuan", which means that the silver flows into here and is related to us, of course, the meaning is that the silver is spent from your hand is the silver has nothing to do with you, and the short thing is that the silver has nothing to do with you, which sounds too much, but no one seems to have understood the meaning of the name so far.

Moreover, the accommodation service of this inn is the main business rather than the franchise, in addition to restaurants, casinos, brothels, cinemas, money banks, and even a small pawnshop, which seems to be for those who have lost bets. It is worthy of "wealth", and the service is really thoughtful. Thoughtful to kill them all. But for those who have just lost all their money and want to simply go home, they must hate a pawnshop before they go out, and they can't wait to burn it with an axe and find a group of people to smash it and then demolish it. But it still stood there in good shape, the vertical fence of the pawn window like a row of bared teeth smiling without skin and face.

When it comes to "wealth" consumption, it seems to have become a status symbol. Big officials and big businessmen are a must, and what kind of martial arts heroes are the killers, if you enter here, you will all be equal, and the silver will speak. Spending a lot of money, that's a small meaning, in the pawnshop to bankruptcy, that's a common thing, you can't be angry and angry when you are bankrupt, so you will be angry, angry, angry, so that the little family is angry, you have to laugh, and say nonchalantly: The daughter is scattered and will come back. Then walk out the back door with a smile that could be complicated – the front door is reserved for the rich. After all, how you live after you go home is not a common concern to everyone, but at that time, you just couldn't lose this face, this is called "fan" Zhilu Dao! I also think that there is something wrong with these people's heads, but this is what people are playing, what can you do?

Not smashing wealth for the sake of face is one of the reasons why wealth is still standing. Another reason is that it is said to be "drunk" in the background.

Canghai chose such an inn to stay, which surprised Xiaoke. Judging from the last time he bought flowers in the teahouse, even if Canghai is not a miser, he must be a miser, and he is also a poor ghost. How could he be so generous to invite Xiao Shell to live here this time?

"Why are you so generous today?"

Canghai is the kind of conceited smile again, "Don't worry, you don't need money." ”

"You don't need money, you own it?" said Shell sneered.

Canghai didn't answer, just raised his eyebrows. Passing through the lobby, I walked around as if I was familiar with the road and came to a big house with a sign that read "No Entry for Idlers", and pushed the door to enter. There is also a counter in the house, which is similar to the one in the lobby outside, and it seems that the big shopkeeper is a place to look after the accounts. Canghai came to the counter with a big grin, and patted "bar", looking like an uncle.

The treasurer of Caiyuan would look at the account book alone behind this counter at this time of day, kneading his two big iron balls that were precious as life. At this time, when I heard the sound and looked up, I saw a weak but not pedantic, not masculine but never feminine, with a small face as white as jade, and a young noble son who pretended to be like an uncle, and the first feeling was that his expression was cute like my little grandson. So he didn't investigate why there was a "idler is exempt from entering" hanging outside, and he came in, but smiled very kindly: "Childe, is there anything I can serve?"

Canghai didn't scare him at first, as if he was a little unhappy. moved his mouth, and didn't know what to say, so he had to take out a long jade ornament from his arms, hand it over, and asked, "Have you seen this?"

The shopkeeper took a look at it, and his expression suddenly became solemn. This is a piece of Hetian mutton fat jade Ruyi, only the size of a thumb, but the carving is too exquisite, the pattern of fine hair is clearly visible, the tentacles are warm, the luster is introverted, the blue and black leather is carved into a Ruyi head, the condensed fat meat is carved into a Ruyi handle, and the sprinkling of gold is faintly visible. At the end of Ruyi, there is also a thin and small cyan six-eared Ruyi silk of unknown material.

It's a priceless thing.

The shopkeeper hurriedly turned out of the counter, took a good look at the sea, returned Yu Ruyi with both hands, and said respectfully: "Please watch the tea in the back hall of the son." ”

Canghai put away the jade Ruyi, and also put away the expression of the gentleman, and said with a calm smile: "No need." Having the best room will do. ”

The shopkeeper hesitated: "But, that room is occupied by ......."

Canghai still smiled, leaned back to the counter, put his left elbow on the table, bent his right leg and bypassed the left foot supported on the ground from the front, and drew a beautiful arc on his toes and pointed on the left side of his left foot. ”
