Chapter 3 Dark Moon and High Storm
This is a house with high walls and a deep courtyard, a red door and green tiles. There are two or three willow trees hanging in front of the door. Peaches and apricots poke their heads out from the wall, and the flowers are in bloom. In such a small county, it is a rare sight of grandeur and wealth.
.
Liu Er took Zhou Xiaodu to the door of Gu's house, and eagerly wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaodu seemed not to see him, turned around and sat down at a noodle stall next to Gu's house, raised his chin, and motioned for Liu Er to sit down too.
.
Liu Er asked sarcastically: "Sir, where can you eat noodles?"
Zhou Xiaodu said matter-of-factly: "I haven't eaten for a whole day, so of course I have to eat before I can have enough energy. I'm treating you to a treat today, and you should have a share."
Zhou Xiaodu raised his voice and ordered a side of spicy pork ribs noodles. Liu Shushou was in severe pain and had no appetite, but he still ordered the cheapest plain noodles.
"Don't leave in a hurry yet. When it gets dark later, come in with me to take care of this." Zhou Xiaodu took a mouthful of red oil noodles and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
"You old man, do you have anything else to tell me?" Liu Zhan was trembling and frightened. He was really in pain, and his eyes turned black from the pain, and he wished he could die on the spot.
Zhou Xiaodu shrugged, spread his hands and said, "No, it's just that I was afraid that you would turn around and report it to the official, so I dragged you into the water with me. Don't worry, I'm pretty good at qinggong. It's more than enough to lead you over the wall by yourself."
Liu Er: "..."
After the meal was full and his stomach was warm, Zhou Xiaodu paid the bill generously. The two of them squatted under the wall of Gu's house to watch the sunset and wait for darkness.
Liu Er didn't dare to get angry or say anything. He could only mutter to himself: It turns out that this martial arts master is just like these street gangsters, squatting in the corner and feeding mosquitoes. He is not cool and domineering at all.
Soon, it was dark and there were few pedestrians on the road.
The noodle seller closed his stall and went home, and the street became even more deserted. Zhou Xiaodu noticed that before leaving, the noodle seller dumped the leftover bones and remains of the customers on the roadside. Immediately, there were two or three people waiting for him.
Stray dogs come up to share the food.
"Woof woof!"
Zhou Xiaodu suddenly opened his mouth and imitated a dog's bark twice, which frightened the sleepy Liu Er beside him.
"Woof woof!" Under Liu Er's strange eyes, the young man shouted twice more.
The stray dogs all turned their heads and looked at this human like a fool.
Zhou Xiaodu waved to them, but the big dogs were wary and ignored them. The remaining gray puppy was more innocent and lively. After hesitating for a moment, he still walked over carelessly, looking for Zhou Xiaodu.
play.
"Silly dog, it's so easy to cheat." Zhou Xiaodu patted the little gray dog's head without being too dirty, "But it's quite cute."
The little gray dog was attracted by the bloody smell on Liu Er's body, thinking that there was something to eat like raw meat, so he surrounded Liu Er instead.
When Liu Er saw Zhou Xiaodu looking at him, he couldn't help but become extremely worried, fearing that the devil would have another seizure and ask him to donate his severed hand to feed stray animals.
Fortunately, Zhou Xiaodu was not so crazy. She casually took out a piece of sesame seed cake from her arms and threw it to the ground.
The little gray dog was naturally not picky about food and started to eat with relish. Zhou Xiaodu talked to it seriously like a child, "Little gray dog, wait until I come back. If you are still here, you have to go home with me."
oh."
But looking at the momentum, after two more bites, all the cake went into the dog's belly. How could a stray dog be so stupid as to stay where it was after it was full?
After saying that, Zhou Xiaodu looked up at the night. It was a dark moonlit night with high winds, which was a good time to kill someone. He then stretched out his hand and pulled Liu Er's collar, stepped lightly, and jumped into the air.
The young man's body was as light as catkins and as nimble as a swallow. He was carrying a big man with one hand, but he was extremely relaxed and casual. It was as if a gust of wind was diligently lifting them up, allowing the two of them to easily climb over the two-person-high wall.
.
The little gray dog watched the two wingless humans flying like birds, dumbfounded. At the same time, another sesame cake was thrown down from the air and landed in front of the little gray dog's paws.
On the other side of the high wall, before the two of them landed, Zhou Xiaodu's toes stepped on a leaf on the branch. With the power of this leaf, he flew into the air again, shocking Liu Er to the point of almost losing his voice.
Called: Let me strangle you, this is a magical method, right?!
It was dark at night, the lights were bright, and a young man dressed in brocade clothes and with a jade belt around his waist sat alone in the room.
Gu Pu was looking through the account books when he suddenly felt the light source moving slightly. He thought it was the night breeze that had disturbed the candlelight. He didn't pay attention at all and continued to look through the books, but suddenly a chill came from the bottom of his heart.
He slowly raised his head with a nervous look on his face and saw that everything in the room was as usual.
Gu Pu took a long breath, relaxed his body, and murmured to himself: "It's not like you have to do it over and over again. If there was a ghost in the world, it would have come to your door long ago, and why would you wait until now? Speaking of which, how can Liu Er still do it?
No news…”
The night wind slowly sneaked in through the cracks in the window. Gu Pu felt a little chilly and uncomfortable, so he wanted to get up and close the window, but in the flowing air, he smelled a smell of... blood.
He turned his head and saw two figures reflected on the floor, standing behind him!
"What..." Gu Pu turned around abruptly, and as soon as the scolding came out of his mouth, Zhou Xiaodu tapped his mute point with his index finger.
Gu Pu stared at the people who came, and when he saw it was Liu Er and the cake seller, he couldn't help being shocked. He pointed his finger at Zhou Xiaodu and signaled Liu Er with his eyes to stop this man quickly.
Liu Er only said that this man was really dizzy and had not realized what was going on. He smiled bitterly and showed him his empty right hand, saying that he could not help him.
Gu Pu reacted and realized that this young man was not easy to mess with, so he immediately ran out of the room. There were many good guards guarding the outside of the room, and they would be able to subdue this strange young man.
Zhou Xiaodu's black pupils moved slightly, and a hint of ridicule appeared on his expressionless face. She moved lightly, raised her hand, grabbed the mute idiot by the back of his collar, and pulled him back.
Gu Pu's hair stood on end for a moment, and he found that he could not escape. He was like a frog in a pot of boiling water, fluttering and resisting crazily.
Zhou Xiaodu didn't pay attention to his random punches at all, and neutralized his punches with one hand. Then, he sealed the acupuncture points all over his body, leaving only one right hand that could move.
She put Gu Pu'an back on the chair, as simple as putting a bunch of dogtail grass in a vase, then stuffed a writing brush into his right hand and whispered softly: "Your grandpa and I don't want to cause trouble."
Da, even if you really call all the guards in the courtyard, as far as I'm concerned, it's just an act of murder. If you are obedient and behave better, I will let you die more comfortably, you know?
?”
"Eh?" After Zhou Xiaodu stuffed the pen, she suddenly noticed that Gu Pu's hand looked familiar. She glanced at it twice and retrieved the impression of this hand from her memory.
"I saw you, yesterday, at Cheng Xiucai's house."
As soon as he finished saying this, seeing Gu Pu's eyes suddenly widened, Zhou Xiaodu knew that it was related to this matter, so he recalled what happened yesterday.
