Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen: The Evil Fire's Request
Huo Xiaoxie rushed back to the inn and climbed over the wall, not shying away.Although the bodyguard on duty at night saw it, but seeing that it was Huo Xiaoxie, he didn't dare to ask further questions. Huo Xiaoxie said hello and went back to the room where he was staying.
Huo Xiaoxie entered the room, Joe Big Head and Joel Claws were still snoring, snoring and sleeping soundly, these two guys had enough to eat and drink, they had nothing to worry about, and they didn't want the sky to fall. When he was awake and sleeping, he looked like the Four Great Northeast Thieves, who were famous in the Northeast, and they were similar to street stalls selling Dali Wan.
Huo Xiaoxie sighed softly, looked again, but did not see Pan Zi in the room.
Huo Xiaoxie couldn't help feeling tense, why Pan Zi disappeared?Could it be that he went outside too?Huo Xiaoxie has experienced a lot at night, and she can't help but feel anxious and uneasy. The situation of getting along with Pan Zi in the past three years day and night flashed through her mind.
Just as Huo Xiaoxie was thinking, the door opened, and Pan Zi walked in sleepily. Seeing Huo Xiaoxie sitting in the room, staring at him up and down, Pan Zi muttered, "Where did you go? Why did you come back?" ?”
Pan Zi yawned and was about to walk to the bedside to sleep again.Huo Xiaoxie asked in a deep voice, "Pan Zi! Where have you been?"
Pan Zi raised his eyelids, lay down on the bed, and said weakly, "I went to the latrine, and I have diarrhea. How are you? Do you have diarrhea?"
Huo Xiaoxie said: "You have a stomachache? Why don't I?"
Pan Zi closed his eyes and hummed: "It's not bad if you don't have diarrhea, you still want to. Don't worry about it, go to sleep..."
Huo Xiaoxie still wanted to ask, just after he said your word, Pan Zi opened his mouth, snored loudly, and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.
Huo Xiaoxie cursed secretly, and had no choice but to stop talking, and lowered her head to press on the wound that Zheng Zedao kicked fiercely. Although the pain was severe, the ribs were not broken, so it was not a serious problem.
Huo Xiaoxie lay down on the bed, recalling all the things that happened tonight again, her head was confused and she couldn't figure it out.Huo Xiaoxie was sleepy and tired, thinking about it, sleepiness hit him, and fell asleep at some point.
The dream that has not advanced in the past few years has changed again...
In the dream, Huo Xiaoxie evaded the pursuit of the "Ying" knife and fell into deep water. When he was about to lose his breath, he was held up by a person from the water and quickly swam to the surface.Huo Xiaoxie was pulled out of the water by this person, and she was far away from the place where she fell. Looking up, there was a sea of flames in the distance, and several wooden houses were already on fire.Huo Xiaoxie coughed out a few mouthfuls of water that had choked into her body, struggled to call her parents, and covered Huo Xiaoxie's mouth with a big hand to prevent Huo Xiaoxie from speaking.Huo Xiaoxie was hugged by this man, unable to resist at all, only saw that this man was wearing tight black clothes, and his head was also covered with a black mask, only two eyes were exposed.The man in black glanced at the place where the fire was on, sank his body, and then dived into the water with Huo Xiaoxie. Following the rapids under the water, he swam forward quickly, ups and downs, until he reached a waterfall. , just stopped, holding Huo Xiaoxie to board the shore.
The man had just walked a few steps with Huo Xiaoxie in his arms, when he suddenly groaned, dodged, and quickly stretched out his hand to block, blood splattered, and one of his arms was cut off out of thin air in front of Huo Xiaoxie.With a cry, the man shook his hand vigorously, and threw Huo Xiaoxie back into the water.Huo Xiaoxie finally peeked out his head, and saw two men in black wearing the same clothes, their shiny long knives drew streaks of light in the air, and with a few puffs, the person who rescued Huo Xiaoxie was thrown away. It was cut into several pieces.Like lightning, the two men in black with long knives jumped into the water before the blood mist dispersed, trying to chase after them.The current was so fast that Huo Xiaoxie couldn't see anything anymore. He was covered by a wave and fell down from the waterfall...
"Ah! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" Huo Xiaoxie yelled and sat up from the bed, sweating profusely, fisted with both hands, panting heavily.The sun was shining through the window, and it was already bright.
Pan Zi hurried over, pressed Huo Xiaoxie's shoulder, and shouted, "Huo Xiaoxie, what's wrong with you! Are you having nightmares again?"
Huo Xiaoxie couldn't speak, she nodded with her eyes closed, her heart beating extremely violently.
Qiao Da and Qiao Er also rushed over, and asked with concern: "Master Huo, are you okay?"
Huo Xiaoxie gasped for several times before calming down, and said slowly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's an old problem, I'm having a nightmare."
Qiao Da scratched his head and said, "Master Huo, what is the nightmare?"
Qiao Er slapped him across the face and cursed: "Nightmare is the roast chicken you dreamed about, and someone snatched it away before you tasted it!"
Qiao Da shouted: "Ah! This is really a nightmare! But I have never dreamed of it! Amitabha, Buddha, please don't let me dream."
Pan Zi scolded: "You two sticks! The nightmare is dreaming that you can't find the hut to pee, and there are people chasing you and trying to kill you. You can't run with all your strength, and finally you can pee. There is also a female ghost who appears to bite your penis, making you unable to urinate!"
Qiao Da and Qiao Er praised in unison: "Master Pan is amazing!"
Pan Zi snorted, "You two clubs! Master Huo is awake, hurry up and get some face wash water! Hurry up, or you won't be allowed to eat! Go! Whoever is slow will break his dog's leg!"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes!" Qiao Da and Qiao Er were born to be disciplined by their master, so they dared to disobey even the slightest bit. They jumped up and scrambled out of the door, and the dust that hit the roof fell straight down.
Huo Xiaoxie had completely calmed down, and said in a low voice: "Pan Zi, Qiao Da and Qiao Er are older than us, although they have worshiped us as teachers, we should be more polite to them."
Pan Zi smiled and said: "Huo Xiaoxie, you don't know, the two of them have this virtue, if you are polite to them, they will cry and say that Master doesn't want them anymore, the harder you scold them, the happier they will be Don't worry, he is very obedient and easy to control. The thief master really did a good job for us this time. How can there be such a good apprentice in the world, and his son is not so obedient. Huo Xiaoxie, you said that the thief arranged for Mr. Qiao , Qiao Er gave it to us, what does it mean?"
Huo Xiaoxie said: "Maybe it's because we don't have experience in the world, so two more people will come up with ideas."
Pan Zi said: "Just the two of them? Not only are they stupid, but they have some problems with their brains. If they don't cause us trouble, it will be an eye opener! I guess, maybe it's the thief who asked us to form a team. Form a gang or something, haha."
Huo Xiaoxie said: "Maybe, anyway, it's a good thing to have two obedient disciples."
While talking, I heard Qiao Da and Qiao Er scolding again and again, each rushed over from the room with a bucket of water.The two yelled: "I came back first! It's me!"
Pan Zi scolded: "Okay, okay! Don't argue! You have done a good job! Qiao Er is the first, Qiao Da is the last, and the water for washing your face and feet is good."
Qiao Da and Qiao Er agreed, and entered the room as ordered, and rushed to serve Master Huo Xiaoxiehuo to wash up.
How could Huo Xiaoxie bear this? He imitated Pan Zi's appearance and turned cold. He made three chapters with Qiao Da and Qiao Er. When you are an apprentice, you must behave like an apprentice, and don't act like a slave. The masters can do it themselves. It is not necessary for you to serve.
After giving such orders, he finally finished washing quietly.
Huo Xiaoxie had an abdominal injury, but he didn't want Pan Zi to see it, so he kept holding back and didn't show his flaws.
After packing up, the four of them all walked out of the room and came to the courtyard to visit Hei Feng, who was acting as a "watchdog" temporarily.
Heifeng is a leopard dog trained by Zhang Siye since he was a child. Heifeng is really talented to be a watchdog, but Heifeng is willing to work hard and let him watch the door.
When Heifeng saw Huo Xiaoxie and the others coming, he jumped up and down happily, Heifeng's strength was not a cover, and he almost broke the chain.
Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi introduced Qiao Da and Qiao Er to Hei Feng, Hei Feng glanced at the two idiots, he was in a good mood, and soon became acquainted.
Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi took Qiao Da and Qiao Er around the courtyard and got to know everyone.Originally, people in the caravan were afraid of Qiao Da and Qiao Er, but this time they saw each other seriously, and they all thought they were "cute". Since they were Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi's apprentices, they had no complaints Enmity, then let go of the heart, no longer fear.
The people in the caravan got up early and didn't go out today. Instead, they counted the goods, sorted them for transfer, and added other goods.Huo Xiaoxie thought about what Shui Yaoer said, let him leave this place as soon as possible, but Huo Xiaoxie was still reluctant, so he made up his mind to wait and see for another day.
At breakfast time, the third aunt, Qingmiao, and Qingliu sent people to call Huo Xiaoxie and the others to have dinner together to discuss the next arrangement.
Qiao Da and Qiao Erben stood behind Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi, not daring to go to the table, but the third concubine, Zhao Biaotou, Wang Biaotou and others felt that something was wrong, these two people were the underworld gangsters in the Northeast anyway. If there are famous people, invite them to sit down and eat together.
Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi didn't really think that Qiao Da and Qiao Er were apprentices in their hearts, so they also asked Qiao Da and Qiao Er to come to the table to eat.Qiao Da and Qiao Er, these two foodies, were already salivating greedily. When they heard that they could have dinner together, they stopped being polite and sat down to eat. It was like a starving ghost reincarnated. Don't think Qiao Er is bigger than Qiao and smaller. It was half full, and they wished to eat more than Joe. They each ate five or six big men's portions, and then they patted their stomachs and said they were full. They really didn't know where they ate last night.
The third concubine, Qing Miao, Qing Liu and the others had never seen this kind of eating, and they were all stunned, which made Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi embarrassed, and ordered Qiao Da and Qiao Er to be more polite, which made them The two converged a little.However, after eating and drinking, the third aunt and the others were completely relieved of Qiao Da and Qiao Er, and were even quite relieved.
Back then, there were many big thieves and evil thieves on Canton Road, and the prevention of thieves was the top priority of every caravan.Now with Huo Xiaoxie, Pan Zi, Qiao Da, Qiao Er and four people, and the help of the big dog Heifeng, the strength of this caravan has greatly increased, and it can go south without fear of any thieves on Canton Road.
Qiao Da and Qiao Er had nowhere to vent their energy after they were full, so they asked for orders to help transport the goods. fly.Qiao Er is thin and small, but his strength is twice as big as that of ordinary people. He has quick hands and feet, and he enjoys running around.These two guys have been logging in the deep mountains and old forests in the Northeast all year round. What they do every day is heavy labor. They don't think that moving things will damage the reputation of the Northeast Thief.
These trivial matters were ignored, and it was afternoon in a blink of an eye, everyone was busy, only to hear a loud bang not far away, smoke and dust rose several layers high, and the ground trembled.
Everyone was wondering, and someone shouted to report: "Third Aunt! Dear Escorts! The Tayun cargo station suddenly collapsed for some reason! More than a dozen people from other places were buried, and the owner of the cargo station is calling for help. Woolen cloth!"
When Huo Xiaoxie heard this, a person's name popped up in his mind - Tian Wen.
The third aunt felt that this matter was weird. How could the Tayun cargo station be considered a big business in Sanbao Town, so why did it suddenly encounter such a tragedy?So the third aunt summoned Huo Xiaoxie and others, and rushed to see this strange thing of collapsed buildings on the flat ground.
Everyone had just walked out of their own inn when they suddenly heard a loud cracking sound. They turned their heads and saw a loud noise from the three-storey Xisi Inn not far away, shaking it twice like a drunk , rumbled and collapsed on Baolin Street, bricks and tiles flew across the sky, dust filled the sky, and screams and howls could be heard endlessly.
Huo Xiaoxie and others saw the Xisi Inn collapse like this with their own eyes, and a group of people couldn't move away in shock. After the smoke and dust receded a little, the third wife called out: "Go and have a look!" Stepping into the cloud freight station, first ran to the West Fourth Inn.
The Xisi Inn collapsed to a certain level, it seemed that the roots were broken, and it was difficult to stabilize, so it fell to the ground.The entire inn has not fallen to pieces, relatively intact, and the shape can still be seen, but the surface is smashed to pieces, all doors, windows and eaves have been shaken off the wall, and debris is everywhere.
When everyone rushed to the front, they saw some people crawling out of the rubble with a disheveled face and still in shock. As soon as two or three people climbed out, they began to swear and speak obscenities. Their vicious appearance did not look like ordinary people.The place where the Xisi Hotel collapsed happened to block Baolin Avenue so that people and horses could not pass through, so more and more people gathered.Enthusiastic people climbed up the ruins to help rescue people. Although many of the rescued people had bloody faces and broken bones, no one was seen dead.
When it was in a mess, another loud bang was heard. Not far from the Xisi Inn, there was a sound of collapse, and another house collapsed, raising a large cloud of dust. It seemed that the roof of the entire house was falling. come down.
It took less than a cup of tea, three houses collapsed in a row, and there was no earthquake here, who would dare to believe it?
Sanbao Town was in chaos, and every household was in danger. They all fled from their rooms to the outside, fearing that their own houses would also collapse.
Baolin Street was full of people, many people with strange looks gathered together in small groups, talking a lot, and looking at each other, looking very vigilant, their appearance and behavior were definitely not the residents of Sanbao Town.
Fortunately, after the three houses collapsed, until the evening, no other houses collapsed, and everything seemed to calm down.
Third Concubine, Huo Xiaoxie and the others looked at all three places, and they all collapsed strangely. The Tayun Freight Station was a warehouse where the whole house fell into the ground, the Xisi Inn was broken by its roots, and the Qingyunhang store It was the whole roof that collapsed.Although Huo Xiaoxie has no experience in building houses, he also understands that this is not a natural disaster, but man-made.What's even more strange is that many mysterious people from other places lived in the Tayun Freight Station, Xisi Inn, and Qingyunhang shops, and the collapsed houses were exactly where they lived.
Although the house collapsed, no one was killed, and there were quite a few injured, most of whom had severed hands and feet and were not in danger of dying.
Shopkeepers and bosses from all walks of life gathered together, sighed and sighed with frowning faces, saying that they had suffered bad luck for eight lifetimes. Ever since they accepted strangers from other places to live for a long time, bad luck happened one after another. Now even the house is damaged. It collapsed and suffered heavy losses. It seems that those strangers are disaster stars, and they don't want to covet them for a few pennies, so they can't stay for a long time.
After nightfall, in a secluded courtyard in Sanbao Town, a middle-aged couple dressed as a couple quietly came to a door, the man knocked on the door lightly three times and said in a low voice: "It's us. "These two are the shop owner and the proprietress of Tayun Goods Station.
"Come in." A woman's voice came from inside the room.
"Yes!" the shop owner agreed, and shook out a long needle in his hand, stuck it in the crack of the door, picked it out, heard a soft cracking sound, and the door opened.
The couple quickly entered the room, closed the door, and then went inside to the inner study.
There are already seven or eight people sitting around in the study room, all of them are the thieves from the Water and Fire families who appeared last night. In the desk room facing the door, there is one sitting on each side, and there are Shui Yaoer and Zheng Zedao sitting there, still dressed as a rich man and a young lady. .
The shop owner of Tayun Freight Station hurriedly bowed to Shui Yaoer, and said, "Shui Yaoer, I'm really sorry, the Tayun Freight Station is in a mess, and Chiang Kai-shek's people are making trouble all the time, so we insist on arranging other places for them to live in. We The two of you will go back in a while."
Shui Yaoer said: "Okay, is there anything unusual on the way you came?"
The shop owner and the proprietress looked at each other, and said cautiously: "There shouldn't be...we are more careful..."
Shui Yaoer said: "Forget it! If Tian Wen wants to follow you, you probably won't find out."
The proprietress said: "Shui Yaoer, is it true that Tujia Tian Wen came here in person? That's really troublesome!"
Shui Yaoer said: "Tian Wen has been here for up to four days, but he was able to destroy three houses in a row. It's really amazing! Well, let's not talk about him. After you finish the information, go back and deal with the Jiang family guards. Let them suspect you."
The shop owner and the proprietress both hurriedly answered yes, and the shop owner said: "The collapse of the Tayun cargo station is indeed man-made. We have found many man-made breaks, and the damage is very delicate. If you don't observe carefully, you won't be able to see it at all." I can’t tell. Among Chiang Kai-shek’s men, three had broken feet, four had broken hands, and two suffered internal injuries and vomited blood. In addition, everyone had minor injuries, and it was more than half lost. I listened to their secret discussions and said yes Part of it will be evacuated tomorrow, and they won’t be able to act in the near future. The collapse of the house is quite a deterrent to them, and they seem to have fear in their hearts, and they plan to report it in full, and evacuate the place as soon as possible before making plans.”
The proprietress went on to say: "Tayun Cargo Station has always been strictly guarded, and hidden Shuijia anti-theft agencies have been set up in many places, and someone can escape all of them and destroy them in various places without showing the slightest flaw. This kind of ability is simply amazing. I can't figure it out. Our Shui family is already a master of hiding, how come the Tu family is better at hiding than us?"
Shui Yaoer nodded, without commenting, and said, "Is there anything else?"
The shop owner and the proprietress thought about it, and said, "Shanxi Wang's Inn, Wang Xing's third concubine brought Huo Xiaoxie, Pan Zi, Qiao Da, Qiao Er, Zhao Biaotou, Wang Biaotou and three unknown bodyguards. I waited for someone to come over, didn't say much, saw that I couldn't help, so I went back. The situation at the Tayun cargo station is only these, there is nothing more."
The water monster said: "Okay! You guys go back!"
"Yes!" The store owner and the proprietress agreed, turned around and walked out of the room quickly, opened the door quietly and walked away.
The remaining thieves from the Water and Fire two families roughly reported some situations, mostly similar to the Tayun freight station, and it didn't take long before Zheng Zedao and Shui Yao'er let everyone leave.
After everyone withdrew, only Zheng Zedao and Shui Yaoer were left alone.
Zheng Zedao glanced at Shui Yaoer who was sitting quietly, and asked softly: "Miss Shui Yaoer, this Tian Wen did it even if he said he would do it. If you hadn't grasped his movements in advance and knew he was coming, what would happen to these flat lands?" It’s really hard to understand the strange thing about the collapse of the building.”
Shui Yao'er said: "This Tian Wen actually attacked the Tayun warehouse first, picking up the toughest bones."
Zheng Zedao said: "It seems that he wants to give us a blow as soon as he makes a move."
Shui Yaoer said: "I have a bad premonition that Tian Wen came here for other purposes. In the past two years, the Tujia family has had frequent internal disputes. Although they protect Puyi, they don't care about the Japanese who also protect Puyi. I like it, I always feel that something big may happen in the Northeast."
Zheng Zedao was slightly startled, and said: "After Zhang Zuolin was killed by the Japanese, the Huo family has never been interested in Zhang Xueliang. Master Huo Wang said publicly that Zhang Xueliang is not good enough to be a master. But Zhang Xueliang and The Japanese are already on the brink of war, and they are about to explode, did Miss Shui Yaoer mean that there will be a big war in the Northeast soon?"
Shui Yaoer said: "Wars are not a big deal. Chiang Kai-shek is eager to have fun in the Northeast, so that he can watch the fire from the other side. I mean, the big thing in the Northeast is related to the Five Elements Saint King Ding."
When Zheng Zedao heard the Five Elements Holy King Ding, his eyes lit up slightly, but he held back immediately, and said indifferently: "Will the Five Elements Holy King Ding be taken out by Puyi?"
Shui Yaoer looked at Zheng Zedao coldly, and said, "Maybe. But according to the character of the earth king Tian Zhen, unless the earth lamp is extinguished, he will never take it out at this time."
Zheng Zedao smiled lightly and said, "That's good."
Shui Yaoer stood up and said in a low voice: "I will immediately inform my father, Shui Wang, about Tian Wen's matter, and listen to his opinion."
The water demon went outside the house and brought out a birdcage with a quiet snow-white pigeon in it. The water demon picked up a pen and wrote words on a piece of paper, rolled it into a small roll, tied it to the pigeon's leg, and pushed it away. window, let the pigeons fly.
As soon as the snow-white pigeon flapped its wings, a white spot flew up into the sky, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zheng Zedao walked steadily to Shui Yaoer, and said softly, "Miss Shui Yaoer, you haven't slept for two days, why don't you rest for a while, I'll be on duty here."
Water Yaoer smiled lightly, and said, "Huo Chuan Messenger, you have a heart, thank you."
The Wang's inn where Huo Xiaoxie and the others were staying was still brightly lit. The shopkeeper of the Wang's inn led his staff to check the civil structure of each house, for fear of encountering a catastrophe of house collapse.They inspected it and found that everything was intact and very strong. The shopkeeper of the Wang family heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly informed the third aunt and the others.
The third concubine, Qingmiao, Qingliu, Huo Xiaoxie, Pan Zi, Qiao Da, Qiao Er and a group of escorts are still gathering in the backyard to discuss tomorrow's itinerary. They are also concerned about the collapse of three houses in Sanbao Town today. They all have lingering fears, and they are all afraid that something big will happen in Sanbao Town in the past two days.A fire broke out at the gate of the city, which brought disaster to the fish in the pond, and some mysterious people from other places lived in my inn, would it cause trouble for the upper body?Do you want to postpone the departure for two days and help the Wang Family Inn to tide over the difficulties?But staying here, will it be more troublesome and heavy losses?
The third aunt also had no idea at this time, hesitating.
Although Huo Xiaoxie thinks that it is very likely that Tian Wen did it, he never dares to speak nonsense, and has been holding back, listening more and talking less, and not expressing any opinions.
Third Aunt understands too well that among the entire caravan, Huo Xiaoxie, Pan Zi, Qiao Da, and Qiao Er are the strongest, and they are close to Dinghai Shenzhen. If Huo Xiaoxie can decide to leave or stay at this time, it is best However, everyone will listen to them.
The third concubine, Zhao Biaotou, Wang Biaotou and others cast their eyes on Huo Xiaoxie for advice repeatedly, Huo Xiaoxie felt even more awkward, he was more indecisive than the third concubine.
A crowd of people stood silently here, and the atmosphere was awkward.
At this moment, an inn clerk ran over and said out of breath: "Third wives, escort heads, gentlemen, there is a person outside who is looking for escort head Huo Xiaoxie. I saw him unfamiliar, so I asked his name." Whoever it is, he just won't say it, and he won't leave until he sees the leader of the fire dart."
Everyone found it strange that the mayor and squires of Sanbao Town knew that there was Huo Xiaoxie, the leader of the Wang family caravan, but if they wanted to come, they must go directly to the third wife.
Huo Xiaoxie felt even more strange, who would look for him at this time?Could it be someone sent by Water Monster and Zheng Zedao?
Huo Xiaoxie stood up and said, "Okay! Then I'll go and have a look, everyone."
The third aunt warned: "Be careful."
Huo Xiaoxie nodded and said, "Pan Zi, Qiao Da, Qiao Er, follow me."
The three of them were idle and bored, but when they heard that they were able to move around, they all stood up happily and followed Huo Xiaoxie to the outside.
The assistant led Huo Xiaoxie and the others to the lobby of the front yard, pointed to a man who was sitting on a teahouse with his back facing them and was drinking tea slowly, and said, "Boss Huo, this is the guest looking for you."
The man sat still, didn't turn his head, and just sipped his tea slowly.
Huo Xiaoxie couldn't recognize who he was from the back, walked up two steps cautiously, cupped his fists and said, "Who are you?"
The man put down the teacup slowly, turned his head slightly, and said, "Tian Wen."
Huo Xiaoxie's eyes widened, this person is Tian Wen!It's unbelievable, he is really hard to guess, and he came to look for him swaggeringly at night, isn't he afraid of being recognized by Zheng Zedao, Shui Yao'er and the others?And he was still waiting obediently in the front hall. With his ability, where would he meet people? Would he still behave in such a manner?
Huo Xiaoxie didn't dare to be negligent, and ignored Pan Zi's surprise, she ran to Tian Wen and sat down next to Tian Wen in three steps at a time, and asked anxiously: "Tian Wen? Why are you here? I, I really didn't expect it to be you , I didn't expect you to come to me."
Tian Wen reported the fist and said, "I said goodbye."
Huo Xiaoxie secretly sighed, Tian Wen said "goodbye" last night, so it meant to see you next time, it was not a polite word at all.
Huo Xiaoxie asked, "Brother Tian Wen, what do you want me to do?"
Tian Wen turned his head and glanced at Pan Zi and Qiao Daqiao who were standing aside for no reason, and said, "Change to another place."
Huo Xiaoxie suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, let's change places, please follow me."
Tian Wen pulled up his robe, stood up, and said, "Quietly."
Huo Xiaoxie hurriedly led the way, and asked again: "The two of us talk, or can they come together?" Huo Xiaoxie knew that Tian Wen was a person who couldn't get a fart out of three poles, so it would be better to ask early and clear up, and spend more time talking Yes, otherwise he would say "goodbye" and leave without knowing when to see you again.
Tian asked, "Come together."
Huo Xiaoxie greeted Pan Zi and Qiao Daqiao and walked quickly to her room in the middle courtyard.
Seeing that Huo Xiaoxie was being so polite to Tian Wen, Pan Zi introduced himself beside Tian Wen: "This big brother, your name is Tian Wen? What a good name, my name is Zhang Pan, and I am Huo Xiaoxie's trusted brother. Your name is Tian Wen. I, Pan Zi, can do it. Have I met you before? What do you do? When I see your imposing manner, I know that you are not simple. "
Tian Wen said, "It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Pan Zi waited for a while, but Tian Wen didn't intend to speak anymore.Pan Zi wondered now, he didn't say anything wrong, why did Tian Wen send himself away after a lucky meeting?
Pan Zi refused to let go, and continued: "It's a pleasure to meet you! By the way, brother Tian Wen, the two sticks behind me are the apprentices of me and Huo Xiaoxie. Two claws, the second and third among the four Northeast thieves. Do you know him?"
Tian Wen said, "It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Qiao Da and Qiao Er listened to Pan Zi's introduction, and giggled behind Pan Zi's back. Pan Zi was annoyed, turned his head and stared, and cursed: "Laugh ass, try laughing again!"
Qiao Da and Qiao Er hurriedly shut their mouths tightly.
Tian Wen slightly turned his head and said, "Very good."
Pan Zi was startled, did Tian Wen take the initiative to talk to him?What does very good mean?Pan Zi chased after Tian Wen, and said with a smile: "Brother Tian Wen, what do you mean when you say that you are very good? Does it mean that I discipline well? Or do you mean that I am a good person?"
Tian Wen said, "Everything is fine."
Satisfied with his heart, Pan Zi followed Tian Wen and Huo Xiaoxie forward, and had already reached the front of the room.
Huo Xiaoxie asked Tian Wen to come to the room and closed the door.
Tian Wen stood on the spot, looked around, took four breaths in a row, smelled the smell in the room, then went to the table and sat down, and put the top hat on the table.
Huo Xiaoxie, Pan Zi, Qiao Da, and Qiao Er sat around, and Huo Xiaoxie opened his mouth and asked, "Tian Wen, is this place okay?"
Tian Wen said, "Yes."
Huo Xiaoxie said: "Just now my brother Pan Zi introduced a few of them along the way, is there anything else you want to know?"
Tian Wen said, "No."
Huo Xiaoxie asked again: "Na Tian asked brother, what is the purpose of you coming to see me?"
Tian Wen looked at Huo Xiaoxie, Pan Zi, Qiao Da, and Qiao Er in turn, and said slowly, "Help me."
When Tian Wen said the word "help me", Huo Xiaoxie absolutely did not think of it.Tian asked this kind of ability, what else does he need help from others?
Before Huo Xiaoxie could get over it, Pan Zi had already said, "Brother Tian, are you talking about helping me? Helping help, my own me?"
Tian Wen nodded and said, "Yes."
Pan Zi asked again: "Brother Tian, but we don't know who you are, so it's easy to help. We must know who you are. Can we help?"
Huo Xiaoxie hurriedly spoke up: "Pan Zi, this brother Tian Wen is a Tujia disciple from the Five Elements family. I told you about the Tujia before."
As soon as Pan Zi heard it, the abacus in his heart immediately pulled out, the Tu family of the Five Elements family?The Five Elements family are all rich, so this time they are accompanied by Takae!
Pan Zi smiled wide-eyed, said loudly, and said, "So you are an expert of the Tujia family! I told you that you are not simple at first glance, you are imposing, and there is a sense of wealth and nobility all over your body. Oh, Brother Tian, why don't you Tell me earlier. It’s really offended! Don’t be offended! Whatever we can do for you, just say, I, Pan Zi, will definitely go through fire and water!”
Seeing Pan Zi nodding, Qiao Da and Qiao Er followed suit repeatedly.
Huo Xiaoxie knew that Pan Zi saw that Qian's eyes had opened again, so he hurriedly cast a look to stop Pan Zi's nonsense, leaned towards Tian Wen, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Tian Wen, do you think how many of us can help you?" what?"
Tian Wen said in a deep voice, "Steal the tripod."
Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi gasped at the same time, and asked at the same time, "Steal the cauldron? What cauldron?"
Tian Wen replied: "Five Elements Holy King Cauldron."
Jia Dingyi briefly talked about the Five Elements Holy King Ding Ding to Huo Xiaoxie before his death, saying that this Ding was a royal treasure and was guarded by the Five Elements family. Apart from this, there was no other description.After arriving in Sanbao Town, Zheng Zedao had asked Huo Xiaoxie about the whereabouts of the Five Elements Saint King Ding, and Huo Xiaoxie had already attracted Huo Xiaoxie's attention. Unexpectedly, when Tian Wen from the Tujia came, it was actually related to the Five Elements Saint King Ding, and he directly asked Huo Xiaoxie for the trip. Xiao Xie came to help steal the tripod.It seems that this Five Elements Holy King Cauldron is really extraordinary!
Pan Zi scratched his head and scratched his head. He also vaguely remembered that Jia, Dingyi had mentioned the Five Elements Holy King Cauldron, but he couldn't remember what he had said. He blinked and said, "Five Elements Holy King Cauldron? It sounds familiar. What kind of treasure is it? What can it do? How much is it worth?" gold?"
Tian Wen said, "It's a priceless treasure."
Pan Zi's eyes lit up, and he was about to ask how much money he could share if he stole it. Qiao Er stretched his head forward and shouted, "I've heard of it, I've heard of it! , Those who lose this tripod will lose the world."
Pan Zi scolded: "Qiao Erzhuo, which savage did you listen to nonsense? Whoever wins the tripod wins the world, to hell with you, whoever wants to be the emperor wants to go crazy and make it up!"
Tian Wen interjected, "Joe Er is right."
Pan Zi gulped down his endlessly sour words, rolled his eyes in a choked state, and the grand occasion of the Seventy-two Concubines of the Sixth Palace of the Three Palaces and the Sixth Court suddenly appeared in his mind, his ears were burning, and he shouted: "Really? "
Tian Wen said, "Really."
Pan Zi rubbed his hands excitedly. If such a good thing really happened, he would risk his life to watch it secretly.Pan Zi's heart was full of thoughts, he pinched Qiao Erpao's neck and hummed: "The emperor, the emperor, if you have a chance to be the emperor, if you don't want to be the emperor, you can be an official of the frontier."
Qiao Er squeaked his paws and said: "Master Pan, please pinch. The neck is thin and it will be broken."
Huo Xiaoxie at the side listened to a few words of their conversation, felt a little measured, and said, "Brother Tian Wen, Pan Zi and I are both young boys who just came out of the rivers and lakes, and you are a well-known Tujia disciple, how can you let me go?" How many of us can help? Don’t know how monkeys help, the more you help, the more busy you are? Brother Tian Wen, I believe what you said, but why did you ask us? Ask for advice!”
When Pan Zi, Qiao Da, and Qiao Er heard what Huo Xiaoxie said, they all stuck their heads out, looked at Tian Wen stupidly, and said in unison: "Yes, why do you want us to help?"
Tian Wen said in a deep voice, "Because..."
Huo Xiaoxie asked, "Because of what?"
Tian Wen said: "Because..." He is not good at long speeches, so his ears are slowly turning red, and he still can't say the following words.
Everyone looked at Tian Wen, and there was silence in the room, all eagerly waiting for Tian Wen to say the following words.
Huo Xiaoxie was more anxious than Tian Wen, seeing Tian Wen's state, not saying nothing, but unable to speak at all, he turned around and said: "Brother Tian Wen, do you want to write it down with the pen and paper for you. "
Tian Wen panted lightly, blushed quickly, and said, "Okay!"
Huo Xiaoxie sighed in his heart, this Tianwen, it is quite quick to say one or two words, one day there will be a fire, and you will be asked to report the news, if the location is not easy to describe, by the time you finish reading each word, you will have already read it. Burnt to ashes.well!I really don't know if the Tujia people are all so virtuous.
Huo Xiaoxie said to Pan Zi: "Pan Zi, get a pen and paper!"
Pan Zi stood up and found a stack of blank paper from the room without spending any effort, but he hadn't found the pen yet.
Pan Zi said sadly: "Looks like I can't find the pen, I have to go out."
Huo Xiaoxie nodded and said, "Okay! Be careful!"
Pan Zi was about to leave when Tian Wen said, "No need!"
Tian Wen flattened the paper, pinched something small in his hand, and wrote quickly on the paper, as if writing with his fingertips.The handwriting on the paper is black and clear, and the font is neat. It is written in a row vertically. The size of the characters is uniform, and the arrangement is straight, without any slant.
Tian Wen writes without a brush, and his kung fu of being sick and not messy, and his balance and stability really opened the eyes of Huo Xiaoxie and others. How can such a calm cultivation be accomplished in a day.
Everyone stared at Tian Wen and finished writing the paper without saying a word. Tian Wen finally finished writing. He picked up the paper, handed it to Huo Xiaoxie, and said, "Please read."
Huo Xiaoxie took the paper and looked down, the words on it were just like a printed book, without any scribbles.
Huo Xiaoxie glanced at it, and if there was no word he didn't know, he had to read it aloud.
Tian Wen said again: "Look silently! Don't read!"
Huo Xiaoxie hurriedly shut up and silently read what was written on the paper.
Tian Wen wrote: "The five-element sage king's tripod is the most precious treasure in the world. It began in the Han Dynasty. Kong Ming of the Shu Kingdom conquered for a long time, but he couldn't ask for the tripod. However, the Wei Dynasty won the tripod and destroyed the Three Kingdoms. The Tang and Song Dynasties all gained and lost because of the tripod. The Mongols Believe it or not, the Yuan Dynasty only existed in China for dozens of years. The Ming Dynasty lost the tripod and fell to the Manchus. The Manchus built the Qing Dynasty with more than 10,000 soldiers, and they were able to sit firmly in the country for three hundred years. History proves that those who win the tripod win the world, and those who lose the tripod lose the world. It is by no means a joke. Four of the tripod lamps of the five-element sage kings are extinguished, and they are only guarded by the Tujia.父，献出此鼎。我父土王虽有异，仍默许之。我田问，甘做不孝子徒，判出土家，欲于倭寇之前，盗出此鼎。泱泱中华，虽处乱世，又岂容岛国倭寇霸鼎称帝？然以我一人之力，无法盗破存鼎之五行地宫，且我未尊取鼎之法典，绝无胜算。唯有邪火之人相助，方可成就。火小邪，你乃不世出之邪火，唯有你助我，方能聚灭五行，破地宫盗鼎！言语虽简，真心不二，田问不才，愿跪求与你，请你助我一臂之力。”
火小邪看完此信，全身每寸肌肤都发麻了，拿着纸的手都激烈的颤抖起来，火小邪看向田问，恍然不知所措！田问知道火小邪已经看完，目光中流露出一丝感伤神色，站起身来，走开两步，一拉长袍下摆，就要跪在火小邪面前。
火小邪大惊，抢上一步，赶忙把田问扶住，恳切道：“田问兄弟，万万不可！我真没有想到，居然是这么大的一件事情！我一时不知道该怎么办才好！”
田问沉声道：“请帮我！”说着又要跪下。
火小邪使劲拉住，叫道：“别别！我答应了！我答应了！我可受不了你一跪。”
田问面露喜色，站稳了身子，抱住火小邪的肩头，说道：“当真？”
火小邪做梦都没有想到，自己一身邪火，竟有这么大的作用，傲气升腾，激动的面红耳赤，严肃的应道：“当真！当真！我就算不要这条命，也会帮你这个忙！”
田问点头道：“好！”
潘子、乔大、乔二摸不着头脑，愣愣的看着火小邪、田问两人，这纸上到底写的什么，让这两人又是跪，又是求，又是许诺。
潘子说道：“喂，两位，能不这么肉麻了吗？到底怎么回事啊。”
火小邪请田问坐下，将田问的信递给潘子看，潘子速速看过，长吸了一口气，说道：“乖乖的啊，这下真要发达了。”
乔二爪子说道：“潘师父，火师父，到底写的啥。”
潘子把信塞给乔二爪子，说道：“自己看。”
乔二爪子接过信，乔大脑袋凑过来，两个人翻来覆去的看，苦不堪言的说道：“两位师父，我们不认字啊。”
潘子一把抢过来，骂道：“你们两个棒槌！早说你们不认字啊！”
乔大愁道：“潘师父，您没问过我们是不是认字啊。”
乔二媚笑道：“潘师父，你要不说一说吧。”
潘子将纸递还田问，扭头骂道：“你们两个，还是不要知道的好！”
田问把信一收，在手中一捏，往自己胸前一按，再伸出手，那张纸已经无影无踪。
乔大脑袋叫道：“戏法戏法！好有趣好有趣！”
乔二爪子也叫：“哇，怎么一下子变没了？能不能再变一次啊？”
潘子两巴掌拍过去，骂道：“闭嘴闭嘴！你们两个棒槌！谁让你们说话了！”
乔大、乔二赶忙闭嘴，但还是好奇不已的盯着田问的手看。
火小邪既然决定了此事，问道：“田问兄弟，那么下一步怎么办？”
田问说道：“明日毋走。”
火小邪问道：“整支商队都不走吗？”
田问说道：“你们留。”
火小邪说道：“你是要我们帮你拆镇里其他人的房子吗？”
田问总算露出了一丝笑容，说道：“差不多。”
火小邪问道：“那镇里的那些神秘人，都是什么人？是都在动五行圣王鼎的心思？”
Tian Wen said, "Yes!"
火小邪说道：“那我们现在做什么？”
田问站起身来，说道：“保密！再会！”
火小邪知道田问要走，十头牛都拉不回来，赶忙开门相送，田问大步走出房门，转身一拜，说道：“不送。”
火小邪正想回礼，只见田问唰的闪开数步，转弯走开，连离去的脚步声都听不到，已经没有声息。
潘子还想追上，火小邪拉住潘子，说道：“别跟着他了，跟不上的。”
乔大、乔二探出脑袋，还意犹未尽的说道：“他是变戏法的吗？”
众人退回屋内，火小邪猛的一拍潘子，说道：“潘子，田问怎么知道我是邪火的？这太奇怪了吧。”
潘子还是有点发愣，喃喃说道：“你看到没，田问说土王是他父亲，我父土王。哎呀我的妈，这可真正是大人物呢，发达了发达了。嗯？火小邪，你刚才说什么来着。”
火小邪只好重复了一遍：“田问怎么知道我是邪火的？”
潘子眼珠子转了一圈，便有答复：“火小邪，你想啊，你是邪火的事情，只有净火谷的人和盗拓盗大爷知道，净火谷中所有人死光光了，还能有谁，肯定是盗大爷告诉田问的啊。你是不是糊涂了？”
火小邪心想也是，点头道：“确实有点糊涂了……”火小邪脑海中一闪，扭头对潘子说道：“还有水妖儿知道……还有，潘子，你也知道。”
潘子倒是一惊，说道：“我当然知道啊，你不会认为是我告诉田问的吧。今天我才第一次见到他啊，水妖儿倒有可能……火小邪，你怎么怪怪的。”
火小邪可能自觉不到，外人看来，他的表情神态的确有些怪，他从一个不受重视的小毛贼，到今天竟能协助土家田问偷鼎，而且是非他不可，这落差实在太大，简直从地上到天上一样。火小邪脑子里乱哄哄的，既兴奋又迷茫，既欢喜又疑惑。
火小邪听潘子一说，狠狠咽了几口，努力让自己镇定下来，说道：“不好意思，我脑子里是有点乱。田问知道我是邪火，应该就是盗拓告诉他的……”
火小邪扭身叫乔大、乔二：“乔大，乔二，你们过来，我问你个事。”
乔大、乔二两人正学着田问藏去纸团的样子，摆弄着手指，听火小邪叫他们，赶忙跑过来，说道：“火师父，啥事啊？”
火小邪说道：“盗拓大师伯有没有和你们说起五行圣王鼎的事情？”
乔大脑袋迟钝些，还有点反应不过来，抓着大脑袋回想，乔二爪子先行答道：“盗拓大师伯提起过五行圣王鼎，就是问我们知不知道。我们就说知道，得鼎者得天下，失鼎者失天下，大师伯就没说什么了。”
火小邪又问：“那盗拓大师伯有没有说让你们帮我做什么？”
乔大脑袋说道：“这个没有，就说让我们认师父，从此听你们的话。”
乔二爪子也连连点头：“是啊是啊。”
火小邪没有再问什么，说道：“走，我们去三太太那里，告诉他们，明天我们留，他们走。”
火小邪一行四人回到后院，三姨太他们还没有散伙，见火小邪回来了，都问是什么人来找他，怎么去了那么久。
火小邪便说是一个老朋友，不知怎么刚巧也在这里，把田问的事情搪塞了过去。
火小邪心里有数，正告三姨太他们，明天商队出发，他和潘子、乔大、乔二留在此地，还有要事待办。
无论三姨太怎么问，火小邪都闭口不谈，只是强调他们主意已定。
三姨太奈何不了火小邪，只好点头默认，让大家各自散去，早点休息，明天一早商队出发，南下广州。
众人各自回房休息，很快整个客栈也都安静了下来。但是在客栈前厅，店掌柜和两个伙计却一直在角落中低头密议。
“真的是土家的田问？”
“应该没错，我亲耳听见他自称田问。”
“田问，这可是土家数一数二的高手，这回塌房的事情算是明白了，定是田问所为。”
“他打算把这一带的闲人都赶走？”
“应该是和净火谷有关，土家护鼎，容不得其他人窥探圣王鼎的下落。”
“那田问找火小邪谈什么？他找谁也没必要找火小邪这种不入流的小贼吧？”
“没敢去听他们谈了什么，怕漏了马脚。”
“无所谓，我们多留心自己就是了。”
“田问知道我们是木家弟子吗？”
“我们扎在三宝镇不是一两年了，没那么容易暴露。”
“我就是担心田问会对我们这里动手，到时候我们是防还是不防？”
“虽说木克土，但我们与田问差别太大，防是防不住的！也罢，几栋破房子而已，让他折腾去。”
“总觉得不甘心啊，土家人大摇大摆的在木家的林子里撒野。”
“不用想这么多了，我们盯紧店内的情况。三宝镇这场戏，我们当个看客就好！切勿参与。”
"yes."
“店内各处的收味药都下好了吗？”
“下好了，无论谁进来，都会留下痕迹。”
“好！打起精神来，估计再过几天，三宝镇就没事了。”
店掌柜、两个伙计分头散去，恍若无事。
火小邪、潘子四人的房内，潘子、乔大、乔二已经睡的鼾声如雷，而火小邪心事重重，怎么都无法睡去。田问什么时候再来，又会安排什么事情？自己一介无名小贼，真的能帮到田问盗取五行圣王鼎？我有这个能耐吗？
火小邪口干舌燥，按捺不住，从床上爬起，想去倒一点水喝。
房间里黑沉沉的，这也无碍，火小邪护着腰伤，走到桌边，拿起茶壶倒水。茶壶里水并不多，只有一个浅底，火小邪有心事，没太注意，倒到最后，茶壶盖一下子脱开茶壶，掉在了桌上，啷啷做响。
火小邪赶忙按住茶壶盖，暗骂一声，举杯喝水。
桌边床上的潘子支吾一声，被惊醒过来，含糊不清的说道：“火小邪，你要出去？”
火小邪低声道：“渴了，喝口水，不出去，你睡吧。”
潘子哦了一声，迷糊的说道：“你腰伤好点了吗？不方便，就叫我起来。”
火小邪想也没想，答道：“好多了，没事的。”
潘子嗯嗯两声，又睡了过去。
火小邪喝完水，退回到床边要躺下，可身子一扭动，腰伤还是疼的厉害。
火小邪暗叹一声：“郑则道这脚真够重的，恼火！”
火小邪正要躺下，突然睁大了眼睛，看向床上的潘子，心中巨震：“潘子怎么知道我腰上有伤？我从来没有和他说过！”火小邪今天一天，都掩饰的极好，自认为绝不会让人看出自己受了伤，怎么潘子就看出来了？是潘子看出来了，还是有人告诉他的？
火小邪静静坐在黑暗中，看着鼾声如雷的潘子，他突然觉得，他一点都不了解这个人。
潘子的出现，的确有太多的巧合，但回想和潘子相处的日日夜夜，净火谷中三年的煎熬，两人是出生入死，亲如兄弟，若是潘子不在自己身边，也许自己早就因为孤寂发疯了。要说潘子是敌非友，火小邪宁肯去死也不愿相信，但潘子自从出了净火谷，的确隐隐约约的有些奇怪，他时不时的会发呆愣神，好像颇有心事，不再像以前事不关己高高挂起，无忧无虑的样子。
火小邪一直以为潘子是想女人想的，可刚才潘子突然在睡梦中说自己腰上有伤，让火小邪紧张起来，忧心忡忡。火小邪给自己想了一千个理由，潘子没有事情瞒着他，说出腰伤不过是他察觉到了。可事到如今，火小邪越想越烦，甚至咒骂自己，为什么要怀疑生死与共的朋友？
火小邪心中暗念：“潘子就算被人胁迫，要杀我火小邪，我也会把脑袋伸出来，把脖子擦干净，这条命送给他，以解他的难处。那我为什么还害怕？我在怕什么？怕潘子离开我？我又变成孤身一人？”
潘子的事情，让火小邪大伤脑筋，简直比偷五行圣王鼎还头疼。
火小邪辗转难眠，整晚都暗暗打量着潘子，但潘子睡的比死猪还沉，毫无察觉，潘子、乔大、乔二这三个人的鼾声连绵不绝，一个赛一个的响亮。
一直到天光泛亮，火小邪才迷迷糊糊睡着了一会。
潘子虽说贪财好色，但喜欢早起，绝不赖床。火小邪睡着了没多久，潘子伸了伸懒腰，就一翻身醒来，迷迷糊糊的唱道：“起床了起床了，要撒尿尿了，啦啦啦。”这是潘子起床的口头禅，几乎天天都是如此，只要念完，才算完全清醒。
潘子唱完，撰拳撑手，眼睛猛睁，再无睡意，咕噜下了床，跑到乔大、乔二身旁，一手一个揪住他们耳朵，骂道：“你们两个棒槌！太阳晒屁股了，起床起床。”
别看乔大、乔二睡的雷打不动，潘子一揪，这两人一吃疼，顿时翻身而起，再无睡意。
这三人折腾了一会，洗漱完毕，潘子便蹬腿跺脚，舒展筋骨，等着火小邪醒来。
按火小邪、潘子这几年养成的习惯，潘子一醒，火小邪不管睡的再沉，都是半个小时内必然起床。
可这次潘子觉得有些奇怪，火小邪躺在床上，动也不动，一点没有转醒的意思。其实火小邪已经醒了，一直闭着眼睛听潘子他们的动静。
潘子凑到床边，看了看火小邪的脸，低哼一声：“今天睡的很踏实嘛！算了，不叫你起来了，让你多睡一会。”
潘子刚一转身，就听身后火小邪低声道：“潘子。”
潘子一回头，正看到火小邪笔直的坐在床上，牢牢的盯着自己打量，眼神中颇有深意。
潘子吓了一跳，骂道：“火小邪，你玩什么新花样呢，玩炸尸啊！你这样挺吓人的知不知道？”
火小邪没有答话，默默的翻身下床，穿上鞋子，站直了身子，说道：“潘子，你跟我出来一下，我有话对你说。”
潘子疑道：“干嘛？喂，你看着好严肃，田问传给你什么病了吗？哈哈。”
火小邪淡淡一笑，径直走出了房间。
乔大、乔二正象上前对火小邪问好，见火小邪这般样貌，便没有上前，十分疑惑的看了看潘子。
潘子看了乔大、乔二一眼，耸了耸肩，说道：“你们火师父偶尔会发神经。你们两个棒槌在屋内等着，别乱跑。”潘子说完，就紧追了出去。
火小邪一直走到中院僻静处，才停下脚步，静候潘子过来。
潘子跑到火小邪身边，叫道：“火小邪，你玩什么呢？从昨晚开始你就奇奇怪怪的。”
火小邪拍了拍潘子的胳膊，说道：“潘子，你觉得我们两个的关系怎么样？”
潘子哼道：“这还要说，过命的交情啊。”
火小邪说道：“潘子，你是我的好兄弟，我这条命都可以送给你，你能不能答应我一件事？”
潘子有些紧张，说道：“火小邪，你是不是真的病了？说这个干什么？什么把命送给我，我要你的命干嘛？”
火小邪说道：“我没病。潘子，答应我一件事。”
潘子眼神有些慌张起来，说道：“你，你说吧，什么事？”
“潘子，你老老实实的告诉我，你是不是有什么事情瞒着我。”
“没有啊！我怎么会有事瞒着你……”
“说实话潘子，你是不是忘了你昨晚说了什么？”
"What did I say?"
“你怎么知道我腰上有伤？”
“这……我说过吗？”
“呵呵，潘子，无论你有什么事，我都会站在你这边的，你告诉我，要不然我会难受死的。”
“我……我……”潘子一反常态，突然低下了头。
“能说吗？不能说就算了。”火小邪追问道。
“我发过誓，不能说……”潘子的语气低沉起来，“如果我说了，我以后生儿子没屁眼的。”
火小邪实在忍不住，噗的一声笑出来：“你怎么发这种誓！”
“没办法，认识你之前以为这就是最毒的誓了。”潘子苦笑起来。
火小邪心里一合计，果然潘子是在认识他之前隐瞒了一些事情。火小邪暗暗盘算了一下，逼着潘子破誓，肯定是不行的，要不如这样……
火小邪问道：“那我问你，你这个誓是怎么发的。”
潘子说道：“这个我可以告诉你，我当时是说——如果我以后对任何人提起你的名字、相貌，说我见过你，透露你对我说过的话，我就生儿子没屁眼。”
“好！我问你一个问题，你说是和不是就行，保证不会破誓。”
“嗯……这样也行。”
“潘子，你发誓的这个人，是不是姓金？”
潘子眼睛一下子瞪圆，连连点头，叫道：“是！是！你怎么知道。”
火小邪轻轻一笑，说道：“我猜的，放心，你没有破誓。”
潘子难解，又问：“那你猜的也太准了吧！你怎么猜的？”
火小邪笑了笑，说道：“三宝镇中，五行世家水火木土四行都在，唯独缺金。我算明白，为什么盗拓说我这个邪火，遇金则复了，就是因为你啊！”
潘子疑道：“遇金则富？是说遇见我，你就会发财了？”
火小邪摆手道：“不是，是遇金则复，胜负的负，哎呀，不对，是重复的复。”
潘子说道：“到底啥意思？”
火小邪呼哧一喘，说道：“意思大概就是说，你属金，我遇见了你，就会变的更强。所以叫遇金则复。”
潘子说道：“哦！五行相生相克，相乘相悔，制化复胜。”
“你知道啊！”
“只是记得口诀，不知道是啥意思，以前甲丁乙和盗大爷说的都太绕口，实在懒得记。不过火小邪，听你这么一说，感情我是你的福星啊，哈哈。”
“潘子，你少贫嘴，我叫你出来，没想到你会说以前瞒了我的事情，纯属瞎猫子碰到了死老鼠，我本意是想问你，你到底是怎么知道我有腰伤的。”
“还是这事啊，我真的忘了昨晚和你说过什么了，我睡的迷迷糊糊的，说了啥都不记得啊。”
“放屁！你少绕圈子，再问你一遍，你怎么知道我有腰伤的。”
“真的要说？”
“真的要说。”
“好吧好吧，我说了你可别说我肉麻。”
“肉麻什么！你说吧。”
潘子尴尬的笑了笑，说道：“其实吧，我现在也无法确定你到
