Chapter 8 Section VIII
Long Bai had just walked out of a gambling house in Jiwei, and his silver was missing by five taels.
Since joining "Feng Yilong", Long Bai had more money, and his hands began to itch.However, in order to keep his actions secret, Yu Runsheng strictly forbids his subordinates to go out to have fun.Long Bai had to gamble in the stone house.But Di Bin, Lian Shou, and Qi Chu are not good at this, and the other newcomers Xing Leng'er have limited money, so they always gamble unhappily.
On the way to Jiwei to inspect Ge Yuansheng this time, Long Bai thought of it: all the casinos in Poshili belong to "Feng Yilong", and he must let the boss know when he goes in; but the gambling workshop in Jiwei is run by a "butcher", and he If you go in secretly and gamble a few hands, no one will know...
In order to enter the chicken enclosure, he had shaved off his beard a long time ago, painted his sallow complexion darker with ashes, changed into a set of cloth clothes like ordinary street vendors, and wore an inconspicuous turban.No one in the casino will pay attention to him.He didn't make a sound when gambling, and only bet half a tael silently each time.Before entering the casino, he had already decided that he would leave no matter if he won or lost five taels of silver.
Even though he lost, Long Baibu still had a thrilling sense of satisfaction when he left the casino—especially when he gambled in the enemy's territory.He is not only interested in having fun, but also carefully observing the layout and operation of the casino.He thought that this knowledge would be useful in the future.
He decided to come back next time.But now I have to go to Ge Yuansheng first.
It's not easy.In order to keep his whereabouts secret, Yu Runsheng arranged three hiding places for Ge Yuansheng in the chicken enclosure, and he had to change them frequently to avoid attracting the attention of the residents or the "slaughter house".
Long Bai really had bad luck today, he had to go to the third place to find Ge Yuansheng.
That place happened to be the ruined temple where Ge Yuansheng hid four months ago when he was killing and eating bones.
"The third child..." Long Bai whispered, "Don't use the knife. It's me. The second child." He knew that he had been detected by Ge Yuansheng's extraordinary hearing when he was outside the temple gate.
When entering the ruined temple, Long Bai smelled a bad smell.There is a pile of excrement under the god's table.In order to hide, Ge Yuansheng can only solve all physical matters in the hiding place.
"Third brother, I brought you something delicious... chicken wings, and wine..." Long Bai recognized Ge Yuansheng's figure through the sunlight shining through the hole in the ruined temple roof.
Ge Yuansheng had long red hair that hadn't been combed for a long time, and a dark red beard grew around his mouth.The knife-like eyes made Long Bai think of the battlefield again.
"Third brother, you look so scary... Are you sick?" Long Bai put down the oily paper bag containing the food, opened the wine bottle, took a big gulp himself, and then handed it to Ge Yuansheng.
Ge Yuansheng shook his head.Long Bai didn't know if this was answering the question just now, or expressing that he didn't want to drink.He tilted his head back and took another sip.
"Third brother, I really have you. But it's too difficult for you, to live in this kind of place and eat those dog food every day... We risked our lives, at least for the sake of eating, drinking and enjoying..."
Long Bai opened the paper bag.Ge Yuansheng responded to the aroma, and reached out to grab a grilled chicken wing.Long Bai has no appetite because the temple is too smelly.
"This is worse than the battlefield... But this is the order of the boss... Actually, I don't understand, what's the use of killing those little people? If you want to kill, kill the 'Eight Massacre Swordsmen'!" Long Bai put down his wine Bottle, make a gesture of drawing a bow and nodding an arrow in the void.When his fingers loosened the non-existent bowstring, Long Bai let out a soft "嗖" sound from his mouth.
"Third brother, think about it, if we join forces to kill a few 'butcher swordsmen', we will definitely become famous by then! People on the road always like to give me a nickname, and they will call me 'Shadowless Arrow' when the time comes, how about you... ...What do you like to be called? What's "Swordsman", okay... Bah, it's better not to be called a swordsman, I hate it...just call it "Sword God"! This is much more majestic! "Floating City Swordsman" Ge Laosan, How loud! Haha, fucking..."
Ge Yuansheng smiled.It was the first time he smiled in two months.The last time it was Di Bin who came to visit him.
Ge Yuansheng grabbed the wine bottle, took a sip, and swallowed the chewed chicken.He always chews his food very carefully.
"Third brother, isn't it too hard for you to do this? Do you want to take a break? I'll go talk to the boss and let you go back and rest for a while before you come out to do some fucking 'butchers'! I see you It looks like a wild beast living in a cave, just like Lao Wu at that time..."
Ge Yuansheng didn't even think about it, and shook his head three times in a row.
Long Bai couldn't figure out why.He was leaving to avoid being seen and arousing suspicion.
"Okay! 'Wu Ying Jian' Long Lao Er is going back! 'Sword God' Ge Lao San, take care of yourself! Next time I visit you, I will also bring you a chamber pot, haha!"
The evening has just come to an end.The strong wind of the autumn night whipped up hundreds of thousands of fallen leaves on the ground, lifted them into the air, and then fell like brown and black raindrops. Twenty-three rode fast horses to break through the rain of leaves, and galloped on the official road eight miles west of the city. The horse team arrived at a fir forest.There is an entrance where the forest meets the official road, and a rough wooden archway is erected.The night was dark, and only vaguely visible characters engraved on the archway became blurred due to the passage of time. Heigou Baye, who led the horse team, waved and led his men on horseback into the dirt road in the forest. After a while, they encountered guards.The guard sitting in front of the lantern pavilion saw that the person who came was the Black Dog Ba Ye, so he hurriedly blew the horn, and then bowed to the black dog. The lumberyard is one of many properties the Slaughterhouse owns outside the city. The black dog saw the lights in the forest in the distance, and more than a dozen people hurried over.He recognized one of his subordinates named "Little Crow". ——The fourth brother mentioned this kid several times. Although the autumn wind was cold, the young crow only wore a short hakama that only covered his knees, and walked to the black dog's mount with his straw sandals on.Xiao Ya's skin color was darker than that of Black Dog Ba Ye, as if it had melted into the night.The black dog guessed that he had the blood of the people from the Western Regions. "Fourth Master, where are the three brothers?" Heigou didn't get off his horse, but leaned over and asked Xiaoya. "Report to the eighth master. The fourth and fifth masters received a letter a few days ago. Their teacher in Xishan fell ill and rushed over immediately. I am afraid it will take seven or eight days to come back at the earliest. Now only the sixth master stays behind and is in the forest Practicing." The little crow answered in a leisurely manner, and every word he spoke was clear.The black dog also kind of likes this kid. He followed the direction of the crow's finger and looked over. "I'll go find him. You don't need to lead the way. Go back to your post." "It doesn't matter, Master Ba. I'm just eating." The little crow stretched out his hand to hold the rein of the black dog's mount. Black Dog smiled. "You are still young, eating is also important. Only when you are full can you have strength. Go back." Little Crow let go of the rein, nodded, and led his colleagues back to the lumberyard. The black dog's horse team drove into the fir forest. Not long after entering the forest, a thunderous bang suddenly came from the depths of the forest on the left. The horses hissed in alarm.Heigou and all his subordinates managed to control the mount without falling off the saddle. "Wait here for me." The black dog stared at his round eyes, licked his lower lip, and stepped off the saddle.The subordinates also dismounted together, and one of them led the black dog's mount. The black dog goes deep into the dense forest, interspersed among the trunks of fir trees.Suddenly, a large clump of extremely lush branches and leaves appeared in front of him. The black dog went around to the right side of the branches and leaves, only to see that it was a fallen fir tree.The dust kicked up by the falling trunks of incredible weight has yet to dissipate. With the faint moonlight, the black dog saw through the night and the smoke and dust, standing in front of the broken roots of the big tree, a huge bare-chested man with a broad build and sweat all over his body was standing violently like a blower in an ironworks. Breathe out.The giant man is unarmed. "Brother Six." The black dog smiled. The giant man turned around and stared at the black dog.Those eyes full of sternness made Ba Ye, the black dog who taught him to "tie the rope" feel shuddering -- although the eyes were not unfamiliar.
The next morning, early morning vendors at the north facing street found three characters written in red paint on one of the rough and dirty gray walls of the street, and each character was as big as a human head.There was also a long, sharpened bamboo pole slanted beside it, with a pig's head sticking out of the pole. Even street vendors who haven't read much can recognize those three characters. butchery dead
