【021】Come without wind
After the news spread, Shen You and the others were not as evasive as before, but instead found a relatively large hotel to stay.
Now that they are in the center, they are like a balance point for all forces. The forces in the Four Nine Cities are eager to dig out secrets from them, but no one's appearance can be too ugly, otherwise there is no need for Shen You and others to react. All the forces in the world will respond quickly.
The encounter with Wen Ci was indeed unexpected, and Shen You was not even prepared for it. When we saw each other again, it was too hasty. Even though the ray of tenderness was difficult to cut short, there was always a hidden barrier.
When they separated, Wen Ci softly told him to be more careful in Sijiu City and not to fall into someone else's trap.
After saying this, she hurriedly left, disappearing into the night with Xu Jingjing. She didn't need her to tell Shen You to know that maybe from today on, they would definitely become the target of public attention. Sijiucheng The forces may not make any big moves for the time being, but those veteran craftsmen who are running around in the world will definitely not be idle.
The feeling of waiting is painful, especially when faced with many unknown things. Even though the generals of the Qian Sect Masters have thousands of plans in mind, they can only set up plans in the face of existing things.
It is the most unwise behavior to replace the rest time with the time of unconscious panic. After arriving at the hotel, after briefly communicating with Bai Qianqian and others, Shen You fell into a deep sleep.
A good night's sleep.
When he woke up in the morning, while eating in the breakfast area provided by the hotel for customers, Bai Qianqian, who was peeling tea eggs and drinking millet porridge, asked Shen You: "What are your plans for today?"
Shen You, who was drinking millet porridge, didn't even raise his head and said vaguely to Bai Qianqian: "Wait."
"Wait?" Bai Qianwan asked, slightly surprised.
"Yeah! Yes!" Although the tone is still vague, there is no doubt at all!
"Why, it's not over yet?" Su Qingqian is a woman after all, and has a more delicate mind. Seeing Shen Youyou's affirmation, she immediately continued to ask.
"Well, not only is it not over, this is just the beginning. If I predict correctly, every move we make will be under the attention of others. If nothing unexpected happens, this afternoon at the latest, even if we are here Hotel, others will come to your door..."
While saying these words, Shen You inexplicably thought of Wen Ci's expression when he reminded him last night, his eyes moved with a hint of resentment.
"It's okay. We're not afraid of them coming to see us. You can definitely come on. We're just afraid that they'll play tricks on us!" Bai Qian stuffed the peeled tea eggs into his mouth and chewed them loudly.
After a few people finished eating, according to Shen You's arrangement, the four of them went to Shen You's room. The curtains were drawn, the door was closed, Bai Qianqian found two decks of cards, and the four of them started playing Upgrade.
Upgrading is a popular card game in the northern region. Four people, two poker cards, and two diagonally diagonally matched groups. Start with a and wait until k. It is a point-grabbing game. When I was in Shanghai, whether it was Su Qingqian is still Gu Qingcheng and Le Biao, and even Zou Qingmei and Chen Shaisheng who came to help for a short time also play this kind of cards.
After Chen Qiushi learned this kind of playing card, he was instantly impressed by the teamwork and the idea of playing cards, and gradually became obsessed with this game. However, after coming to Sijiu City, all kinds of things happened one after another, and he had no time for entertainment at all. , at this moment, seeing hundreds of thousands of dollars being taken out and Shen You not stopping them, he couldn't help but feel extremely excited.
After sitting down, Shen You teamed up with Su Qingqian, and Bai Qianqian and Chen Qiushi joined forces. The four of them acted as if everything around them had nothing to do with them, not thinking about other things at all, and having a great time.
A full two hours had passed when Shen You and Su Qingqian had trapped Bai Qian and Chen Qiushi. At this time, there was a slight and rhythmic knock on the door.
"Who?" Shen You asked.
“It’s a snowy day, a guest’s day, when friends come, light wine and light tea, it’s also a little bit of kindness from being a host!”
After hearing this, Shen You and Bai Qianqian looked at each other. This is an authentic Jianghu lip code, which means that when Jianghu friends from other places come to my territory, I have to entertain them well no matter what they say.
Based on the lip code, Shen You basically guessed the origin of the other party, and immediately glanced at Chen Qiushi. When Chen Qiushi got up and opened the door, Shen You and the three of them continued to chat about the card game as if nothing had happened. mistakes and areas of better performance.
As soon as he opened the door, Chen Qiushi saw Dao Si standing at the door. That night when Dao Si took people to the hotel to find Bai Qianqian, he met Chen Qiushi. That is to say, Chen Qiushi pointed things here and there, making him confused. After making a mistake in judgment, he suddenly He made mistakes again and again, and finally he was led by Shen You and others for a whole night.
Of course, this was not his fault alone, so his master didn't blame him for biting Jin Ye, but he himself felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Here you come?" Chen Qiushi greeted Dao Si with a smile. After all, they are all from the Jianghu community. Feng shui takes turns, and it is normal to fall into the hands of anyone. There is no need for the other party to be slightly injured when they meet again. Another stab in the heart.
However, Daosi did not accept the kindness released by Chen Qiushi at all. He glared at Chen Qiushi fiercely and then swaggered in with a cold snort.
According to what Dao Si thought, after walking in, the people sitting there would at least say hello to him, but he didn't expect that Shen You and the others didn't seem to pay attention to him at all. Su Qingqian even shouted loudly: "Xiao Guo Son, hurry up, you can’t afford to lose! Why don’t you hurry up!”
I don’t know whether it was out of show of power or deliberate neglect. All this was not within the scope of Chen Qiushi’s thinking. He just shouted loudly in cooperation and sat down. While touching the cards, he muttered: "I tell you, if it weren't for me, I'm just unlucky. After all, we're all good friends. If I win, you'll lose face, right?"
Daosi, who was standing aside, was extremely shameless. When he saw the other party playing the cards directly after touching them, he suppressed his inner depression and coughed lightly, as if to remind the other party of his existence.
However, this cough was like water droplets entering the river and sea in the enthusiasm of Shen You and the others. It could not stir up any waves at all. Seeing that none of them responded, Dao Si said with a little resentment in his heart: "The predecessors planted trees and the latter can enjoy the shade." "A bowl of water can nourish the world's craftsmen. I wonder where these friends are? Where are their roots?"
Shen You looked at him blankly, then started playing cards again, which made Dao Si feel extremely angry. After all, what he was talking about was the authentic Jianghu Lip Code, and among them, except Su Qingqian, he could be said to be They all met each other and knew that he must be from Jianghu, but they didn't expect that the other party would not even pay attention to him.
But thinking about the purpose of coming this time, I still had to bite the bullet and continue: "I will pass on Daosi from the direct line of Cheng Fool, and I would like to say hello to all of you..." Although he still received the courtesy of Jianghu, his tone was much more polite.
"Okay, you can go back and question us. You are not qualified!" Shen You said slowly. You didn't even have the interest to look up at him.
Dao Si's chest seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and more resentment surged through his body. However, he was still responsible and said under control: "I don't know what to call my friends. Let's leave a name so that we can communicate with each other in the future."
"Ask me? Well, since you're asking, I can't keep you in the dark. Listen carefully. Seniors are very kind to me. I am the number one person under Yu Shen's sect!"
At this time, Dao Sifang was really shocked. When he came, Yao Jinye's worried look was still in front of him. He was afraid of meeting Qianmen, but he didn't think about what he was afraid of. These two sentences are Qianmen's authentic Jianghu incision. , not even a person from a thousand families would dare to use it casually.
"You are actually a hero from a thousand families. Dao Si is rude. My master..." Although Dao Si was frightened, he still knew that he should complete what the master told him first and continued immediately.
"Didn't I just say that? You are not qualified. Go back and replace someone! Come on, a pair of Q's, the main fisher!" Before he could finish speaking, Shen You continued.
Dao Si's face suddenly turned red, but after all, he was a craftsman who traveled around the world. He was used to seeing the warmth and coldness of people. He quickly understood what Shen You meant. He knew that he was probably trying to find a place for Chen Qiushi. He immediately walked up to Chen Qiushi and held his fists slightly. He half-bowed and said: "I didn't know that thousands of distinguished guests came from afar, and Dao Si failed to welcome them from afar, which made friends in the world blame him..."
Half-bowing is considered a relatively high etiquette today when there is no such thing as kneeling down. With the development of the times, people in the world only use half-bowing or cupping fists and cupping hands to greet people. This misunderstanding of Dao Si is real.
"You're welcome." Chen Qiushi was young after all. When he saw Daosi bowing to him, he quickly stood up to help him.
Shen You smiled and looked at Dao Si, who was extremely adaptable, and asked him: "We are all wandering people in the world. What are Dao Si brothers doing here when they are not at home?"
Seeing Shen You speak, and Shen You had just pointed out that he was the first person under Yu Shen's sect, Dao Si immediately walked up to him, clasped his fists and said, "Friends from thousands of sects have come from afar, we, Lao Sijiu, are from Jiucheng Craftsmen should naturally show their loyalty to landlords, prepare a little wine, and ask thousands of friends to show their favor."
"Is this wine a Jianghu Banquet or a Taoyuan Banquet?" Bai Qianqian, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked.
As we all know, the Taoyuan three-sworn sworn relationship refers to the relationship of sworn sworn friends, and its connotation is mainly about friendship, while the Jianghu banquet has more meanings. It can be seeking revenge and killing, it can be a relationship between Jianghu and Jianghu, or it can simply pay homage to the dock.
After hearing this, Dao Si coughed lightly and said, "This Jianghu man is naturally a Jianghu banquet!"
After hearing this, Shen You chuckled and said, "A man of the world is naturally a man of the world. It seems that Brother Dao is here to pay his respects?"
Following Shen You's inquiry, Dao Si also handed the red greeting card to Shen You with both hands.
