Bringing the Sword into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 55: The Shopkeeper and the Hawker
This woman is about thirty years old, with curved eyebrows, a straight and small nose, and a pair of auspicious eyes with a tear mole, which makes her soft and pretty face even more endearing. She wears a pair of crystal earrings on her earlobes
The meteor-shaped earrings gave her an indescribable look.
The woman was wearing a woad-blue fur coat, with only a tube top underneath. She walked gracefully in the Yuelai Building, walking among the crowds of drinkers and diners, with a calm and at ease look on her face.
When the fairgoers saw the woman, their eyes became a little brighter. The men kept swallowing their saliva, eager to rush forward and kiss her. Some of the bolder ones whistled at the woman, and even
The woman laughed teasingly.
"Here, shopkeeper, I haven't seen you for a long time. The last time I saw her beauty, I missed you so much."
"Shop manager, I just came here tonight. Did you have trouble getting up from bed during the day because of the torment last night?"
"Shopkeeper, I heard that you have a good drinking capacity. How about having a drink with me later? Hahaha!"
The woman who was called the shopkeeper by all the drinkers did not get angry after hearing the teasing and frivolous words of these wine and meat diners in the store. Instead, her eyebrows were slightly raised, her eyes were affectionate, and she moved to one of the tables.
.
The shopkeeper opened her red lips and said, "Hey, Mr. Liu, do you want to have a drink with me? I don't care, but if your wife finds out, I'm afraid..." The woman stopped talking.
, the charming charm in his eyes made the men beside him feel their mouths dry and their hearts beating faster.
The king was a well-known henpecker in the city. Hearing the woman mention his wife, he waved his hands and smiled bitterly: "Liu was just joking for a while. Please don't make any noise, please don't make any noise."
The woman covered her red lips and chuckled, no longer entangled too much with the king, but turned to another table, leaned over and sat in front of the table, stretched out her jade hand, held the pot, filled the wine cup for the guest, and flirted with the guest.
He smiled and said, "Exceptor Huang, I passed by Feng Lai Tower when I came by carriage today, and I overheard the girl there talking about you when she was soliciting customers on the street."
Glancing at Mr. Huang, the shopkeeper slightly amplified his voice so that all the customers in the store could hear it, and heard the woman say: "The girl over there said that you were a little... a little fast last night, even...
She hasn't felt it yet, so just... it's over." After saying this, before everyone could react, the woman lightly covered her red lips and laughed.
When many of the drinkers in the store realized what they were doing, they burst into laughter. The Huang who had just made fun of him was so embarrassed that his face turned red and he didn't dare to look up again.
When the shopkeeper saw Huang's already red face, he smiled and said, "But then the girl said again that you are very energetic in the middle of the night...it makes her want to die."
After hearing the woman's words, everyone looked at Huang Yuanwai with admiration. After Huang Yuanwai heard that the shopkeeper had regained his dignity as a man, he immediately raised his head and chest, with an arrogant look on his cheeks.
When all the customers in the store saw that the shopkeeper had calmed down these dirty talkers with just a few words, no one dared to tease her anymore. When they saw her nodding slightly at Huang, they immediately left the table.
With a slight flick of her finger at the customers in the shop, the woman said: "You all prefer me, Yue Lai Lou, so much. Thank you so much, Sumei, and please come back with a good time today. Add a bottle of Chunri Drunk to each table, and it will be mine."
"The shopkeeper saluted the guests in the store.
The waiter in the store listened to the shopkeeper's instructions and hurriedly greeted everyone to get the spring wine and served wine to the guests in the store.
The guests in the store all stood up and applauded, and thanked the woman one after another. The woman nodded and then walked gracefully through the store and entered a secluded room in the back hall of Yuelai Building.
In the back hall, there was a man standing with his hands behind his back, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Entering the back room, Su Mei saw the back of the man. Just now, he was facing the customers in the store. His charming and charming posture disappeared, and a different emotion appeared in his charming eyes.
"I haven't seen you come to visit me for many days. Why did you come to visit me today?" There was a bit of coquettishness in Su Mei's tone, and also a bit of sadness.
After listening to Zi Sumei's words, the man turned around. It was the hawker who had injured Lao Li with a punch. Looking at Zi Sumei's slightly sad eyes, after a moment, he sighed and said: "Su Mei, it's not
I don’t want to come to visit you, but as Mohists, we naturally have to abide by the rules of the Mohist sect.”
When Esumei heard this, she seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. She laughed so hard that she even burst into tears. After a charming smile, Esumei stopped laughing.
Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, he resumed his charming posture in the shop just now.
"I'm just kidding you, but you take it seriously. I've already seen the flag of the blacksmith shop. You won't come here to inform me about this, right?" Esumei said with tears in her eyes and a slight smile.
The man saw the tears in the corners of Su Mei's eyes, raised his hand to wipe it away for her, but raised his hand in the air. The man seemed to have thought of something, and retracted his hand, clasped it behind his back, then turned his back and said
: "Today there was a wanderer who accidentally saw the clues about the blacksmith's shop."
Seeing the way the man stretched out his palm and then retracted it, Gui Sumei understood what he was thinking. After listening to his words, she knew that this was not the time for romance, so she put away her flattery and said seriously: "Jianghu wanderer, what about now?
Has anyone dealt with it?"
The man said: "Originally, I wanted to kill this person to avoid future troubles, but when we first fought, I saw that this person was very skilled, and he only knocked out a few Han brothers and did not hurt their lives."
Before he finished speaking, Su Mei knew what the man was thinking, so he answered: "So you care about the morality of the world and don't want to take his life?"
Smiling softly, the man said: "Sure enough, you understand me, and you don't just care about the morality of the world. This person has good skills and a moral heart. I want to take this person in. If I have to break up with the people like Shakuchenren in the future,
If we lose face, we can have a better chance of winning."
After a pause in his tone, the man continued: "When the Mohists came to our lineage, most of the disciples have already become scum in the world."
Esumei smiled and said: "Only you can live by those rules. As far as I know, the people like Shakuchenren have long been reduced to death warriors in the world. They are murderous and greedy for money. As long as they give money
, they dare to do anything that is harmful to nature, and they have long forgotten the rules of Mohists."
After Su Mei finished speaking, she saw that the man's hands were clenched and his veins were exposed, which showed that he was extremely angry.
After a moment, the man loosened his grip and sighed: "They are them, and we are us. It's a pity that I don't have enough skills to clean up the sect. They have done many evil things, and one day I will kill them."
Thousand Blades, restore the prestige of Momen."
After hearing the man's bold words, Esumei said with a gentle look on her face: "No matter what happens in the future or what you do, I will always be by your side." After Esumei finished speaking, the man still stood with his hands behind his back.
, but you can feel that his breathing has become heavier. For a moment, the room is full of beauty.
After a while, the man calmed down and said: "In the past, I could still deal with the people of Chi Qianren, but recently he came with the seal of the Mohist Order and ordered us to gather all the Mohists in Liangzhou City.
By."
Su Mei was surprised and said: "The order of the Mohist? Wasn't that thing burned down with the fire that year? Why is it in his hand?"
The man said: "I don't know either, but as soon as the Mohist's order comes out, all the Mohists have to give the order. That's why I ordered the blacksmith shop to hang an ink-colored flag and summon the Liangzhou Mohists."
A worried look appeared on her charming face, and she said: "The order of Mo Zhe is in the hands of Chi Qianren. If he wants you to do something that is harmful to nature, you..."
The man didn't wait for Su Mei to finish speaking, and said decisively: "Although we, as Mohists, must be subject to the Mohist's orders, I will never do anything that violates morality." After finishing his words,
After a pause, Chi Tianya said: "All I saw was a letter with a seal. I don't know if the token is in the hands of Chi Qianren. If I go this time, if the token is really in his hands, I will try to get it from him."
Get back the order of Mo Zhe."
After listening to Chi Tianya's words, Su Mei was silent for a long time, and said softly: "Tianya, I heard that Chi Qianren has improved his cultivation over the years and has entered the Dengtang realm. I'm afraid, you and I have already
I'm not his match. How about you... take me away? We already have no shortage of money. Let's find a place where no one can find us and live in peace of mind, okay?"
Chi Tianya's back was turned to her. After hearing her words, a look of yearning appeared in his eyes. But then, Chi Tianya's eyes were slightly closed. When he opened his eyes again, the look of yearning had disappeared, and he could only hear his words.
That decisive voice: "Master treats us like his own children. When he was riding a crane, he left a will, asking me to revive Momen in my lifetime. Have you forgotten?"
Then, Chi Tianya's tone softened slightly: "There are also Uncle Kui, Aunt Kui, and the blacksmith brothers. They have lived with us for many years... How could I... How could I abandon them and ignore Su Mei... I...
.”
"Okay, I know you care about the master and this group of people in your heart. Since the order of the Mohist has reappeared, I will accompany you to see what he is up to. If you are really angry and take action,
We are not afraid of them either." Su Mei knew that Chi Tianya had her in mind, but he had to bear too much for his master's life and these brothers.
"By the way, Su Mei, the wanderer I just talked about, after I subdued him, I hid him in the carriage delivering food to you, Yuelailou. After a while, I had him hidden in a dark room.
You order people to bring him some food and drink every day, and don't hurt his life." Chi Tianya didn't want Su Mei to take the risk with him, so he changed the subject.
Esumei smiled and said: "Don't worry, if it's anything else, I can't guarantee that eating and drinking here won't be enough for him."
Chi Tianya said: "That's good. Let's lock him up for a while. Firstly, if there is a chance, I can persuade him and see if I can subdue him. Secondly, let's see if there is anyone accompanying this person. If so,
I'm afraid I'm already looking for him now."
As expected, Lao Li's "travelers" are carefully searching for clues to Lao Li's disappearance in Liangzhou Lane.
——
In the city, in a remote alley, Gu Xiao and Lin'er moved forward with extreme caution, and finally found some clues in this alley.
Gu Xiaojian frowned, looking at the messy footprints and traces of fighting in the snow on the ground, and murmured: "Although the footprints are messy, they are the steps of Uncle Li's moves. Uncle Li fought with someone? How could it be?"
Lin'er suddenly called out to Gu Xiao: "Gu Xiao, come quickly."
Hearing this, Gu Xiao took three steps at a time and walked to Lin'er's side. He saw Uncle Li's hatchet on the ground. At this moment, the hatchet was lying quietly in the snow.
Gu Xiao picked up the hatchet and was sure that Uncle Li had met a master. However, there was someone in Liangzhou City who could easily defeat Uncle Li, which surprised Gu Xiao.
Seeing Gu Xiao frowning, Lin'er consoled him: "Gu Xiao, don't worry. Although there are signs of fighting in the snow, there is no trace of blood. Although Uncle Li's hatchet was thrown here.
..Not seen.." Lin'er was worried about Gu Xiao's feelings about the word 'corpse', so she never said it out loud.
"Yes, although there are strong signs of struggle, there is no trace of blood, which means that Uncle Li was just taken away by others and his life is not worried for the time being." Gu Xiao also agreed with Lin'er's idea.
It's just that the hatchet is here, but Uncle Li was taken somewhere. Gu Xiao's first reaction was to the blacksmith shop in the city, but then Gu Xiao overturned his idea. The blacksmith shop was only such a big place.
I once went into the shop to investigate. It was definitely not a place where people were hiding.
It's not a blacksmith's shop, but where is it? Gu Xiao thought for a long time, and the starry eyes under his sword eyebrows also explored the alley. Suddenly, Gu Xiao discovered something on the ground not far away.
As soon as he arrived, Gu Xiao leaned over to check. Although the snowflakes falling in the air slightly covered the traces in the snow on the ground, Gu Xiao still found some clues after careful inspection.
