Volume 2 Seeking Fang on the Hundred Flowers Continent Chapter 103 Night Terrors
The tea was served, and a few plates of rough dim sum were also served, Lin Jue saw that the tea was muddy and gray, and the dim sum was like a gnocchi, and he had long lost his appetite. I miss the sugar cakes made by Midori Dance infinitely. The dozens of sugar cakes on the road turned out to be Lin Jue's own, but since Ma Bin ate a piece, it was quickly consumed.
The shopkeeper didn't leave after serving the snacks and tea, and stood aside and said with a smile: "A few people, please use it slowly, there are no good things in the small shop in the mountains, and they will be used." ”
Shen Tan arched his hand and said: "I am a down-and-out person, what else is there to pay attention to, and the shopkeeper's kindness can give me a stutter, so I am grateful." ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Why do you always say thank you?" It's said that everyone has a time to memorize words. I look at a few people who are not so down-and-out. I don't know where they came from? ”
Lin Jue replied first: "What are you doing?" What do you ask, the shopkeeper's talker? Give some tea and snacks and want to ask where we come from? What do you want to do? ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that this brother has a bad temper, so he just asks casually, chatting casually with the guest officer, but he doesn't want to spy on the guest officer's privacy." ”
Ma Bin also frowned and said, "Third child, what are you doing?" People are just kindly asking, don't you hurt people when you say this? The shopkeeper, don't pay attention to him, my third brother is a little stunned. ”
The shopkeeper smiled: "It's okay, it's okay." It's just a joke. ”
Ma Bin smiled: "It's still the generosity of the shopkeeper." Shopkeeper, there is something I want to inquire about, I don't know if it's convenient to ask? ”
The shopkeeper smiled: "It's okay for the guest officer to ask, but if you know it, I will tell you." ”
Ma Bin lowered his voice and asked quietly: "Shopkeeper, don't be afraid to say it, our brothers have committed something, and we can't be tolerated outside, so we came here." We heard that there is a cottage on the top of the Turtle Mountain in this Hongze Lake, and it is full of some green forest heroes who are gathering righteousness and occupy the mountain as the king, I would like to ask, can you help us get a boat and send us to Guishan Island to join them. Don't be afraid, we won't do anything to you, once we join the gang, whoever bullies you and disrupts your business in the future, we can also take care of you. ”
The shopkeeper's face changed color, but he smiled secretly in his heart, and said in his heart: These people still have to take care of Lao Tzu, but I don't know why Lao Tzu wants you to take care of it. You are all unable to protect yourselves, and you are taking care of others.
"Oh, guest officer, you ask this, I can't answer you. It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't know anything about the cottage of Guishan Island at all. Besides, I, a little common man, don't dare to mess with this kind of thing, and the bandits will kill the whole family. You'd better spare me and ask someone else for good. I don't know, I don't know anything. ”
The shopkeeper pretended to be scared, waved his hands and turned his head to leave. Suddenly, Lin Jue reached out and grabbed the shopkeeper's arm.
"Guest, you ...... What does this do? The shopkeeper asked in horror.
"Shut up!" Lin Jue shouted coldly: "Shopkeeper, you don't know how to lift." Now that you know our secrets, how can you let you go? Do you want to report to the police? ”
"You guest officer, why did you get into trouble with you? I kindly invite you to eat snacks and drink tea, how can you take revenge? You're not good people. The shopkeeper struggled.
The people at the surrounding tables saw something unusual, and some of them had already stood up with the handle of the knife in their clothes and were ready to do it. The shopkeeper's left hand waved back, signaling not to act rashly.
"Hehe, shopkeeper, do you know that our brother is not a good person? Since you know our secrets, you must send us to the cottage, so you can't get out of it. Either we're going to kill your whole family tonight, and you can choose one of the two. Lin Jue said viciously, his face looking like a vicious bandit.
The shopkeeper pretended to be frightened, but he laughed happily in his heart. These guys are really stunned, they really take themselves seriously, in Guishan Town, on the shore of Hongze Lake, where is it your turn to play tricks?
"Don't kill me, don't kill my whole family, the villain is just in business, and he doesn't want to get into trouble. In this way, a few heroes, can't the villain think of a way for you? I don't know any good people who are copycats, but maybe there are acquaintances who know. Maybe there can be a way. Have you spared me? ”
"Okay, we won't leave here tonight, and tomorrow morning, if you can't find a way to send us to the cottage, we'll kill your whole family." To tell you the truth, several of our brothers have lives on hand, and my eldest brother even killed an official, we are not afraid of this, and we are afraid of killing your little shopkeeper? You have to do your best for us, otherwise, hehe...... Hugh blames us for being polite. Lin Jue shouted in a low voice.
"Yes, yes, spare your life, and do what the hero says." The shopkeeper nodded again and again, and said in his heart: These are really the materials for the cottage, and if they don't agree with each other, they will kill the whole family, which is exactly what the second master's favorite brainless outlaw looks like.
"Also, roast a few fat chickens for us tonight and make a few decent dishes and drinks. Damn, do you want to sell favors, and a few plates of coarse chaff-like snacks will come to buy and make friends with a few of our heroes? You're a little more beautiful. Lao Tzu wants to eat fat chicken and wine, but it's not your bullshit coarse noodles. ”
"Yes, yes, fat chicken wine, fat chicken wine, there must be, there must be." The shopkeeper agreed.
Lin Jue let go of his hand at this time, and with a push, the shopkeeper stepped aside. Turning around, he entered the room with an irrepressible smile on his face. Lin Jue looked around and saw that everyone on the table around him was staring at him in a daze, and suddenly shouted angrily: "What are you looking at?" Haven't you ever seen a hero? ”
Everyone around hurriedly turned their heads, and many people wanted to rush up and teach this arrogant kid a lesson, but after all, they didn't have an order, and they couldn't do anything, so they had to swallow their anger.
Ma Bin, Shen Tan and the others also admired Lin Jue's courage, and those pretentious attitudes just now were also decent. You must know that this is surrounded by the surrounding bandits, and the nervous faces of several guards turned pale, but Lin Jue didn't seem to be nervous at all, but instead performed his stunned young man vividly.
The shopkeeper avoided answering what Ma Bin said, so Lin Jue could only take the initiative to make trouble. Knowing that the other party is a bandit, taking the initiative to make trouble will have two results, one is to annoy them and be attacked by them, and the other is that these behaviors will be reported to the leader, which is actually a test. Obviously, Lin Jue's judgment was right, if the lake bandits had no intention of accepting, they would not be able to come to Guishan Town at all. It is precisely because they are cautious about themselves and others with a cautious eye that they have room to perform. In a way, these actions are pandering to the tastes of the bandits.
Of course, Lin Jue is in accordance with the habits of ordinary bandits, if he encounters a bandit who likes to exchange literary quality and poetry and painting, I am afraid that this set will not work. But that shouldn't be very likely.
The shopkeeper came out again soon after entering the store, and this time respectfully invited Lin Jue and others to the store. A few people followed the shopkeeper in, and the shopkeeper led a few people to the backyard through the store, pointed to a room and said with a smile: "A few heroes, the small shop does not stay with guests, so there is no guest room." There is only one room in the house, so I will invite a few heroes tonight. A few heroes rested here, and after a while, they brought fat chickens and wine, and a few of them ate and drank first, and then went down to find a way to ask a few heroes about the incident. ”
Lin Jue glared and said: "This is about the same, I can warn you, you don't think that you will stabilize us first, and then take the opportunity to escape with your family or report to the official." If you find out that you have run away, we will immediately set fire to your house. If you flee to the ends of the earth, we will slaughter your whole family. ”
"No, no, my home is here, where can I escape? I won't run, don't worry. There is no official office in the town, so I can't report even if I want to. ”
"What? Do you still want to report to the police? Looking for death? ”
"No, no, no, it's just an analogy."
The shopkeeper came out of the house sweating, not because he was frightened by Lin Jue, but because he was annoyed by this adulterated person. "How can such a clear-eyed young man be so stupid, it's a pity that he has this skin." The shopkeeper thought to himself while wiping his sweat.
Sure enough, the wine fat chicken was delivered shortly after. Several people were actually a little hungry, but Ma Bin and Shen Tan had a plan before this, and they couldn't even drink a sip of water when they entered Guishan Town. It is said that someone strayed into the town of Guishan, and as a result, they were numbed by sweat medicine and then made into human meat steamed buns. They don't want to drink sweat pills and end up being manipulated at will. Just now, outside, two pots of tea and two plates of dim sum didn't move at all.
But at this moment, in the face of fragrant fat chicken, it seems to be a waste not to eat it. So Ma Bin pinched a few pieces of chicken and threw them into the yard, a few wild cats came out of the grass in the corner to grab the fight, ate all the chicken in a moment, and waited for a long time, the wild cats were still alive and kicking, and everyone was relieved that there was no sweat medicine here, so the two fat chickens were swept away.
All this was seen by the shopkeeper hiding at the back door of the store, and he smiled secretly in his heart: These guys are not blindly stunned, but they also have some heart. But if Lao Tzu wants to take you, why do you need to use this method. Let you live well, and come back to clean you up in the evening.
It was getting dark, and eight people were crammed into the room, and they could sleep on a large bunk, but how could eight people be sleepy. Lin Jue sat alone in the corner, frowning and pondering, he was thinking about how he and the others should be treated as a lake bandit after what happened during the day. If they still ignore themselves, what can they do with others? Is it possible to get a small boat and send it to the door yourself?
Before you know it, the night is dark. The north wind in the night, which was already a little cold, swept through the branches of the yard and whistled. Lin Jue sat in the dark, listening to the north wind whistling by, thinking about those people in Hangzhou. Thinking of Fang Huanqiu, thinking of Green Dance, thinking of Lin Hu, thinking of the Fang family and his wife, thinking of Xie Yingying. Thinking about the impermanence of his fate, thinking that even if he made another choice in this life, it would still be so difficult, thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel drowsy, leaning against the wall and falling asleep.
A noisy footstep woke Lin Jue up, and Ma Bin, Shen Tan and others, who were sleeping on the bunk, also woke up and immediately jumped out of bed. But listening to the flickering torches outside, the footsteps were noisy, and it seemed that dozens of people rushed into the courtyard.
