Embroidered Thief 古龙 12125Words 2018-03-12
The twilight was getting deeper, and the last ray of sunlight was shining on the corridor behind the nunnery and outside the cloud house, and the old wooden pillars outside the corridor seemed to be shining brightly.In the evening wind in July, with the fragrance of leaves from the distant mountains, it makes people feel refreshed.Jiang Qingxia walked very slowly, and Lu Xiaofeng also walked very slowly. Jiang Qingxia didn't speak, and Lu Xiaofeng didn't open his mouth either, he seemed to have realized that he was an unwelcome guest.For unwelcome guests, it's best to keep your mouth shut.

The courtyard was silent, no one could be seen or heard.This is a lonely place, and lonely people are used to silence. Jiang Qingxia pushed open a door, said with a straight face, "Benefactor, please come in!" Lu Xiaofeng also had a sullen face, and said: "Thank you!" There was no lamp in the room, and even the setting sun couldn't shine here.Lu Xiaofeng walked slowly inside, as if he didn't dare to enter this room.Is he still afraid that this cold woman will lock him in this cold room? Jiang Qingxia said coldly: "There are no ghosts in this room, what are you afraid of?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly: "Although there are no ghosts in the house, there seems to be ghosts in my heart!" Jiang Qingxia said: "Who has ghosts in mind?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "You!" Jiang Qingxia bit her lip, and said: "You yourself are a ghost!" At this moment, this cold female Taoist suddenly changed, as if she had become a completely different person, she suddenly pushed Lu Xiaofeng forcefully She went in, pushed onto a chair, pressed his shoulder, and bit his ear. Lu Xiaofeng smiled instead: "You look like a tigress, just now, you looked like..."

Jiang Qingxia stared and said: "What did I look like just now?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Like a dead tigress!" Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Jiang Qingxia bit his ear again. Lu Xiaofeng almost cried out in pain, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that you were all taught by the same master, and you all like to bite your ears!" Jiang Qingxia stared again, and said: "You? Who are you?" Lu Xiaofeng closed his mouth, he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing again. Jiang Qingxia refused to relax, and said with a sneer: "Do you often have your ears bitten?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Others are not puppies, why would they often bite my ears?" Jiang Qingxia's eyes widened even wider: "Others are not puppies, so am I the only one?" Lu Xiaofeng didn't dare to speak again. Jiang Qingxia stared at him bitterly, and said: "Tell me honestly, how many people have bitten your ears?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Only...Only you!" Jiang Qingxia said: "Is there really no one else?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Who else has the guts to bite me!" Jiang Qingxia said: "Where's Xue Bing? She doesn't have such courage?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "She doesn't even dare to touch me, I'm already very polite not to bite her!" Jiang Qingxia curled her lips, and said: "Now you speak fiercely, in front of her, I'm afraid you won't even dare to fart!" Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Why didn't I dare to let her go? Am I still afraid of killing her?" Jiang Qingxia suddenly laughed, a bit like a little fox. At this moment, someone outside the door said coldly: "Okay, let it go, I'm right here!" Lu Xiaofeng's heart sank, he didn't even need to look to know that Xue Bing had arrived.Meeting a tigress is bad enough.

The only thing worse than meeting a tigress is meeting two tigress at the same time. Lu Xiaofeng suddenly felt that his head was three times bigger than usual, almost as big as a bucket. Jiang Qingxia giggled and lit the lamp.When the light shone on Xue Bing's face, Xue Bing's face turned red again, red from anger, red like pepper. "The one who strikes first is stronger, and the one who strikes last suffers." Of course Lu Xiaofeng understood this sentence. He jumped up suddenly, stared at Xue Bing, and said coldly: "I was looking for you, but I didn't expect you to dare to come to see me?"

Seeing him so fierce, Xue Bing softened instead: "I...why didn't I dare to come to see you?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "How did you come here?" Jiang Qingxia hurriedly said: "We are old friends, and a master taught us to bite people's ears, why can't she come here?" Lu Xiaofeng ignored her, still stared at Xue Bing, and said, "I'm asking you, what are you doing here?" Xue Bing said: "You clearly know that I am sending something!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "What for?" Xue Bing said: "Of course it's the piece of red satin!" She actually admitted it lightly, without changing her face.

Lu Xiaofeng was startled instead, and said: "You don't want to blame?" Xue Bing said: "This is not something shameful, why should I rely on it?" Lu Xiaofeng almost screamed again, and said, "Is it an honor for you to help others deceive me?" Xue Bing said: "Sikong Zhaixing is not someone else, he is also your friend, and you admit it yourself!" Lu Xiaofeng didn't deny it at all. Xue Bing smiled, and said leisurely: "I'm helping your friend, you should be grateful to me!" Lu Xiaofeng was stunned again, and said: "You helped him betray me, so I should be grateful to you instead?"

Xue Bing said: "That piece of red satin is of no use to you, but it is of great use to him. I just helped him deliver that piece of red satin here, so how can I betray you?" Lu Xiaofeng is still older, and his reason seems to be ten times more sufficient than Lu Xiaofeng's, and he said: "Besides, isn't he also your good friend, didn't you also deceive him, after you deceived him, you became very proud, why can't I let you Also fall for it?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "But you...you...you should have helped me a little bit!" Xue Bing sneered and said: "Who told you to be so arrogant! It seems that there is no one in the world who is more capable than you, so I can't bear your complacent look!"

Lu Xiaofeng was speechless, he suddenly realized that a man meets a woman, just like a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason at all.It seems that there is no such thing as "right and wrong" in a woman's psychology. No matter what she does, it depends on whether she is happy or not. If you want to reason with her, her reasons will always be ten times stronger than yours. Xue Bing said with a straight face: "You scolded me behind my back, I didn't settle accounts with you, but you came to me first!" Jiang Qingxia sneered and said: "This is called preemptive strikes, all the men in the world seem to have this trick!" Xue Bing said: "What else do you have to say now?" Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly, "Only one sentence." Xue Bing said: "Say it!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Who did you give that piece of red satin to?" Xue Bing said: "Give it to Lu Dongbin." Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help being stunned again: "Who is Lu Dongbin?" Xue Bing said: "You don't even know about Lu Dongbin? How did you live to be thirty?" Jiang Qingxia said: "Lu Dongbin is Lu Chunyang, the real Chunyang who flew over Dongting Lake, do you know?" Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly: "I only know that what Lu Dongbin wants is white peonies, not black peonies embroidered on satin." Xue Bing finally explained, "Sikong Zhaixing didn't ask me to give that piece of satin to anyone, as long as I put it under Lu Dongbin's statue." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Where is this statue?" Xue Bing said: "It's in a small temple behind." Lu Xiaofeng said: "How long have you been here?" Xue Bing said coldly: "It wasn't long, but I just happened to be in time to hear you scolding me!" In the bamboo grove behind the nunnery, there is also a small shrine. An ever-burning lamp in the temple is always on, and the light is shining on the ever-smiling face of Master Chunyang.Although he couldn't be enshrined in the front main hall to enjoy the incense of flesh and blood, he was already very satisfied.Lu Dongbin is a smart god, and smart gods, like smart people, know how to be content and happy. Lu Xiaofeng didn't wait for Xue Bing to finish speaking, he rushed out, rushed here, there was indeed a piece of red satin embroidered with black peonies under the statue.When he picked up the satin, Jiang Qingxia and Xue Bing also followed. Lu Xiaofeng looked at the satin in his hand, with a thoughtful expression in his eyes, and murmured: "I never thought the satin was still there!" Jiang Qingxia said: "Sikong Zhaixing must have never imagined that Xue Bing would tell you the truth so quickly, and before he had time to take it away, you have already come first!" Lu Xiaofeng raised his head suddenly, stared into her eyes, and said, "Maybe it's not that he didn't have time to take it away!" Jiang Qingxia said: "Who is it?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's you!" Jiang Qingxia sneered and said: "Are you crazy? What do I want this piece of bloody red satin for?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I was going to ask you too!" Jiang Qingxia changed color and said: "Do you think I told him to steal this piece of tattered satin?" Lu Xiaofeng actually acquiesced. Jiang Qingxia said: "If I asked him to bring the satin here, why would he bring you?" Lu Xiaofeng said indifferently: "Maybe he wanted to meet face-to-face, but he couldn't get rid of me. Maybe he suddenly realized his conscience and felt a little sorry for me. Maybe he brought me here on purpose so that I wouldn't think it was you!" Jiang Qingxia's face also turned red with anger, and she said: "So, do you think I'm the embroidered thief?" Lu Xiaofeng didn't deny it either. Jiang Qingxia suddenly sneered again, and said: "You may not be too stupid, but it's a pity you forgot one thing!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Oh?" Jiang Qingxia said: "You forgot that Jiang Chongwei is my elder brother! How could I blind my elder brother's eyes?" After saying this, she turned her head and left, as if she was too lazy to reason with such a fool. But Lu Xiaofeng stopped her again: "Wait a minute!" Jiang Qingxia sneered and said, "What else do you have to say?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Only one sentence!" Jiang Qingxia said: "Okay, let me listen to you again!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Jiang Chongwei doesn't have a younger sister, and you don't have an older brother either. Your surname is not Jiang at all!" Jiang Qingxia's face suddenly turned pale: "You...you...how did you know?" Lu Xiaofeng sighed, and said: "I didn't want to know, but God wants me to know something that I shouldn't know!" Jiang Qingxia stared at him bitterly, and said: "What else do you know?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "You really want me to say it?" Jiang Qingxia said: "Say it!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "You were originally Jiang Chongwei's unmarried wife, but later became a monk for some reason. You deliberately pretended not to recognize me in front of him, just to avoid provoking him and letting him know..." Jiang Qingxia's body started to tremble, she suddenly shouted: "Stop talking!" Lu Xiaofeng sighed again, "I didn't want to say these words!" Jiang Qingxia's body kept shaking, she gritted her teeth hard, and said: "Yes, Jiang Chongwei and I have indeed been engaged since we were young, but when we grow up and meet each other, we find that we can't live together at all ,so……" Lu Xiaofeng said: "So you became a monk?" Jiang Qingxia nodded, and said sadly: "Besides becoming a monk, what other way can I go?" Her eye circles were red, tears were about to fall. For a girl like her who became a monk at a young age, there must have been a tragic and bitter past. Xue Bing seemed to be about to cry, bit her lip, stared at Lu Xiaofeng, and said, "You shouldn't have forced her to speak out!" Jiang Qingxia suddenly said loudly: "It's okay, I want to say!" She quietly wiped away the tears, puffed up her chest, and said: "Although I have become a monk, I am still young, I can't stand this kind of loneliness, That's why I wanted to venture into this world, so I got to know a lot of men, and I got to know you too!" Lu Xiaofeng sighed lightly - a monk alone does not mean that she is already dead, she still has the right to live her own life, she has the right to live. Jiang Qingxia said: "If you think that I don't want Jiang Chongwei to know, you are wrong, if you think that I don't want to marry him, that's why I want to blind him, you are even more wrong, he..." Her voice stopped suddenly, and she looked out the window in surprise. Jiang Chongwei had already groped in from the darkness outside the door, his face was also pale, and he said sadly: "It's not that she doesn't want to marry me, but that I can't marry her!" Xue Bing couldn't help asking: "Why?" Jiang Chongwei said: "Because I..." Jiang Qingxia shouted again: "You don't have to say it, no one can force you to say it!" Jiang Chongwei smiled sadly, and said: "It's okay, I have to say it too." His face was full of pain, and he slowly continued: "I can't marry her, because I have long been a useless person. You can't be someone else's husband at all, let alone someone else's father!" Xue Bing finally understood, but he was already regretting it. Why did he need to know this kind of thing? Wouldn't other people's misfortune also cause him pain? Jiang Chongwei said again: "I know everything Qingxia does outside, no matter what she does, I will not blame her, and I also know that although she looks unruly on the surface, she is actually not a very casual person !" Jiang Qingxia lowered her head, tears were already falling.It was difficult for a woman as young as her to bear the torment of youth. Whatever she did, she should have been forgiven.But she couldn't forgive herself. Jiang Chongwei said: "No matter what you say, I can guarantee that she is definitely not the one who blinded me!" Lu Xiaofeng suddenly asked again: "Can you really guarantee it? Have you really seen clearly that it's not her?" He was also full of sympathy and grief, but this matter was too important, he had no choice but to harden his heart .He must ask carefully. Jiang Chongwei didn't even think about it, and immediately said: "Of course I see it clearly!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "How can you tell that that person is definitely not her?" Jiang Chongwei said: "I...Of course I can tell, don't forget that when I recognized her, she was still a child!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "But you haven't seen each other for many years, right?" Jiang Chongwei lowered his face and said coldly: "What do you mean? Do you still think I will help her lie?" Lu Xiaofeng sighed, he really couldn't ask any more questions. Jiang Qingxia said coldly: "As long as we have a clear conscience, it doesn't matter what he thinks!" Jiang Chongwei nodded, Jiang Qingxia had already supported his arm, and said: "Let's go!" Lu Xiaofeng could only lower his head and let them walk over.The lights are dim, and the ground is paved with bluestone slabs.Jiang Qingxia wore a pair of green cloth shoes, which looked very inappropriate with her purple shirt, she was a woman who was very particular about dressing. Lu Xiaofeng suddenly said again: "Wait a minute!" Jiang Qingxia didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but suddenly found that his eyes were fixed on her feet, so she sneered and said: "You haven't finished your words yet?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I just feel a little strange!" Jiang Qingxia said: "What's so strange?" Lu Xiaofeng's eyes were still fixed on her feet, and he said slowly: "How come there is a red edge protruding from your blue shoes?" Jiang Qingxia's complexion changed again, she couldn't help but wanted to hide her feet. Lu Xiaofeng said lightly: "Your Taoist robe is not long enough to hide your feet, you shouldn't be wearing red shoes inside your green cloth shoes!" Red shoes!Jiang Chongwei's expression seemed to have changed. Jiang Qingxia suddenly sneered, and said: "You have poisonous eyes!" Amidst the sneer, she had already made a move, and she actually wanted to poach Lu Xiaofeng's eyes with two slender fingers like orchids.Her shots are quick and accurate. Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "The most you can do is bite your ears, you shouldn't goug my eyes!" He said sixteen words, Jiang Qingxia had already made eleven moves, such fast moves!So quick! Jiang Qingxia was originally one of the four most fearsome women in the Jianghu. They are the Four Great Beauties and also the Four Tigress. In the Jianghu, countless people have been hurt by their claws. Most of the women's shots are faster than men's!More ruthless!Because they are not as strong as men after all, and they don't want to fight with men to death!So when they make a move, they often kill the man! It's a pity that Lu Xiaofeng is not another man, he is actually faster than Jiang Qingxia.Jiang Qingxia made eleven moves, and he easily avoided it without even raising his hand.It seemed that he didn't want to fight back, but if he fought back, Jiang Qingxia might not be able to avoid it. Jiang Qingxia gritted her teeth, and suddenly scolded softly: "Look at the hidden weapon!" Lu Xiaofeng immediately retreated seven or eight feet, Jiang Qingxia didn't fire her hidden weapon, but her person turned over in the air and flew out backwards. At this moment, Lu Xiaofeng shot again, and grabbed her shoe like lightning. Only grabbed her shoes, not the person who grabbed her.Inside her blue cloth shoes, there were indeed a pair of red shoes—embroidered red satin shoes.But her person had disappeared into the darkness, and she could not be seen in a blink of an eye. Lu Xiaofeng didn't chase after him.Of course Xue Bing would not chase after him, she was already stunned. Jiang Chongwei stood there motionless, his face ashen, and suddenly said, "She's gone?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "She's gone!" Jiang Chongwei clenched his fists, and the corners of his eyes kept twitching, making his dark and empty eyes look even more indescribably strange and terrifying. Lu Xiaofeng said: "The embroidered thief also wears red shoes?" Jiang Chongwei looked even more painful, hesitated, and finally nodded reluctantly. Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why didn't you say it all this time?" Jiang Chongwei said: "I just had a vague impression, but you reminded me of it!" Just when the light of the sharp needles flashed in front of his eyes, he saw the pair of red shoes, which were as red as blood. Xue Bing couldn't help sighing, and said, "Your eyes are really poisonous, I didn't see a red edge in her shoes." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I didn't see it either!" Xue Bing was stunned. Lu Xiaofeng said: "I just think the color of her shoes doesn't match the clothes, and they are too big, as if they were put on temporarily!" Xue Bing said: "So you deliberately tried her?" Lu Xiaofeng nodded. Xue Bing couldn't help sighing again, and said, "It's really dangerous to be with someone like you!" Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Sun Zhong certainly doesn't think so, he must think you are more dangerous than me!" Xue Bing sneered and said, "I should have cut off both his legs too!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "He came to look for you again?" Xue Bing said: "He dares!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "But how did his hand get into the beef plate on your table?" Xue Bing was also taken aback, and said, "What hand?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Didn't you see that hand?" Xue Bing said: "No!" Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly: "Could it be that hand crawled into the plate by itself?" He couldn't figure out what was going on again! Xue Bing said: "I also can't figure out one thing, since Sikong Zhaixing asked me to send things, why did he bring you?" Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "No one can figure out what this kind of person does, you'd better not even think about it." Jiang Chongwei said sadly: "I can't even figure it out, how could Qingxia do such a thing?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "You don't have to think about it!" Jiang Chongwei said: "Why?" Lu Xiaofeng smiled again, and said, "Because she never did such a thing." Jiang Chongwei was also stunned: "She didn't? Isn't the embroidered thief her?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Absolutely not, although her martial arts are not weak, but she still can't imagine that she can blind Chang Mantian and Hua Yifan's eyes with one move!" Jiang Chongwei said: "Can you see that she is not deliberately hiding her martial arts?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I can see it!" Jiang Chongwei let out a long breath and said, "That's why you let her go!" Lu Xiaofeng did not deny that if he could grab a person's shoe, he could grab that person's foot.Whoever's foot is caught will never be able to walk again. Jiang Chongwei pondered, and frowned again: "If she has nothing to do with this matter, why did she leave?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because she also has a secret that she doesn't want others to know!" Jiang Chongwei said: "What secret?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "The secret of the red shoes!" Jiang Chongwei nodded slowly, and said, "The embroidered thief is also wearing a pair of red shoes. Could it be that he is from the same organization as her?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Probably yes, very possibly not!" He himself knew that this was really nonsense, but that was all he could say. "The embroidered thief is a woman with high martial arts skills, dressed as a bearded woman, but wearing a pair of red shoes." This is the only thing they know now, but they are not sure, let alone prove it. Jiang Chongwei's expression became even sadder, and he said sadly: "She was a very simple and kind girl, and she could have been a good wife in a man's ideal, but has she really changed now?" Lu Xiaofeng suddenly said: "How long have you not seen her?" Jiang Chongwei said: "Not long ago, every year when I celebrate my birthday, she will visit me!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "When is your birthday?" Jiang Chongwei said: "May 14th!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "When did the robbery happen?" Jiang Chongwei said: "June 11th." Lu Xiaofeng stopped talking.Jiang Chongwei seemed to want to say something, but held back, he just let out a long sigh, lowered his head, and walked out gropingly. Seeing his lonely shadow disappear into the darkness, Xue Bing couldn't help sighing: "I think he must be feeling very uncomfortable now!" Lu Xiaofeng nodded. Xue Bing said: "Jiang Qingxia went to see him on May 14th, and within a month, there was a robbery in the palace?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Maybe it's just a coincidence!" Xue Bing said: "But the treasury of the palace is so heavily guarded that not even a fly can fly in. How did the embroidered thief get in?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "What do you think?" Xue Bing's eyes were shining, and he said: "I think, maybe someone went to the palace first, looked after the terrain for her, and then managed to make a model of the key to the treasure house for her." Lu Xiaofeng said: "The person you mentioned is of course Jiang Qingxia!" Xue Bing did not deny it, and sighed: "Only she can get close to Jiang Chongwei, and only Jiang Chongwei has the key to the treasure house!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "You mean she made a model of the key secretly, and then made a similar one, and handed it to the embroiderer thief?" Xue Bing said: "Not bad!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "The embroidered thief took this key and opened the door of the treasury, so he was able to enter?" Xue Bing said: "I think it must be like this!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "This idea can't be considered too unreasonable, but it's a pity you forgot two things!" Xue Bing said: "What's the matter?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "The door of the treasure house is guarded day and night, how can a man with a big beard open the door and walk in in front of those guards? Could it be that he knows invisibility?" Xue Bing was speechless. Lu Xiaofeng said: "What's more, when Jiang Chongwei went in that day, the door of the treasure house was still locked from the outside, after the embroidered thief opened the door and went in, how could he come out and lock the door?" Xue Bing blushed again: "Since my idea doesn't make sense, how do you think she got in?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I think she must have a very special method, maybe it has nothing to do with Jiang Qingxia at all!" Xue Bing said coldly: "It's a pity that you don't know that special method at all. What kind of method is it?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "So I must try it myself!" Xue Bing said: "Try what?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Try to see if there is a way for me to get in!" Xue Bing widened his eyes, looked at him in surprise, and said, "Are you drunk again?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I didn't even drink a drop of wine today!" Xue Bing said: "If you are not drunk, you must be crazy. A sober and normal person would never think of doing such a thing!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Oh?" Xue Bing said: "Do you know how many guards there are in the palace?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "More than eight hundred!" Xue Bing said: "Did you know that each of the guards carries a very powerful Godly Zhuge Crossbow, no matter who is found, they can be shot into a hedgehog immediately!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I know!" Xue Bing said: "Do you know how many masters there are in the palace besides these guards?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Experts are like clouds!" Xue Bing said: "Do you know that the young prince himself has received the true inheritance of swordsmanship from City Lord Baiyun?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "It is said that he is the number one expert in the palace." Xue Bing said: "Do you know that no matter who trespasses in the forbidden area of ​​the palace, they will be killed without exception?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I know." Xue Bing said: "But you still want to make a breakthrough?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Not bad!" Xue Bing said: "Do you want to die?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't want to." Xue Bing said: "Why do you think you can come out alive after breaking in?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "No reason!" Xue Bing bit her lip, and said: "Why do you take such a risk? Could it be to prove Jiang Qingxia's innocence?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I just want to know if she has anything to do with this matter." Xue Bing said: "Why do you care so much about her?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because I like her!" Xue Bing stared at him fiercely, jumped up suddenly, and said loudly: "Okay, go to hell!" The wind is lighter, and the lonely temple is lonelier. Lu Xiaofeng came out, and Xue Bing also came out: "Shall we go to the southeast side now?" "Us? Us again?" The expression on Lu Xiaofeng's face was as if someone stuffed a sour orange into his mouth. Xue Bing said coldly, "Of course it's us, do you want to leave me alone?" Lu Xiaofeng really wanted to, but unfortunately he also knew that if there was a woman who was determined to follow you, you wouldn't be able to shake her off: "Why are you following me? Do you want to die with me?" "I don't want to!" Xue Bing bit his lips again: "I just want to see what you look like after you die!" Many of the streets are paved with bluestone slabs, and the red cotton trees that are redder than maple leaves are as brilliant as the sunset. "This is Wuyang City?" "Ok." "I heard that the food here is the most famous." "You have eaten?" "I haven't eaten it, but I've heard that there are a few things that are the best here." "You tell me to listen?" "Big skirt wings from Sanyuan, Baihua chicken from Wenyuan, Dinghu shangsu from West Garden, boiled snail slices from South Garden..." Xue Bing only said three or four things, but she couldn't continue, because her saliva was about to flow out. But Lu Xiaofeng said indifferently: "These are nothing, the most delicious food, maybe you haven't even heard of it!" Xue Bing's eyes lit up: "Are you going to take me to eat now?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "As long as you follow me obediently, I guarantee you will have something good to eat!" He had obviously been to this place before, put on an appearance of a veteran, led Xue Bing around twice, and turned into the A very narrow alley.The alley was very dark, and the ground was still muddy after the rain two days ago. There were all kinds of shops on both sides, and the facades were also very narrow. The people who came in and out seemed to be shady people. "There are good things to eat in this kind of place?" Although Xue Bing was muttering in her heart, she didn't dare to ask. When she came here, it was like being in a foreign country. She couldn't understand a word of what others said.She was really afraid that Lu Xiaofeng would leave her here alone. At this moment, she already noticed an indescribable and wonderful fragrance, which was carried by the wind.She had never smelled such a delicious smell.It seems that Lu Xiaofeng didn't bluff her, this place does have good food. She couldn't help asking: "What kind of smell is this?" Lu Xiaofeng said leisurely: "It's the most delicious thing in the world, you'll know it after eating it!" There is a small shop at the bottom of the alley. There is a big stove at the door, and a big pot is stewing on the stove. The aroma comes from the pot.The place inside is very dirty, the walls, tables and chairs have been blackened by oily smoke, and even the words on the signboard have been smoked beyond recognition.But this fragrance is really alluring.No sooner had they sat down than the shop assistants had scooped out two large bowls of what looked like meat soup from the pot. This place doesn't seem to sell anything else.The meat soup is still steaming, not only fragrant, but also beautiful in color. Lu Xiaofeng handed her a spoon and said, "Hurry up and eat it while it's hot, it will taste bad when it's cold!" After Xue Bing took two bites, the taste was really delicious, and he couldn't help asking: "What are these things made of? Besides meat, there seems to be a lot of other things added!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Do you think it tastes good?" Xue Bing said: "It's delicious!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Since it's delicious, eat more, don't ask questions!" He finished a bowl, added another bowl, and suddenly made a strange gesture to the waiter.That guy had always looked like he didn't care about him. He had always disliked this kind of rustic outsider. But after seeing Lu Xiaofeng's gesture, his attitude immediately changed, and he immediately apologized with a smile: "What orders does the boss have?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I'm here to breathe!" The buddy said: "Where is the rest?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Snake King." The guy's face changed again: "What's the matter with you not praying?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "My surname is Lu, why don't you go and tell me to pray, and I'll know after praying!" The man hesitated, finally nodded, and said, "Wait!" Xue Bing looked at them in surprise, and when the buddy walked out of the narrow door at the back, he couldn't help asking: "What are you chattering about?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I ask him to find someone for me!" Xue Bing said: "Look for someone in this kind of place? Who are you looking for?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Snake King!" Xue Bing said: "Snake King? Who is the Snake King?" Lu Xiaofeng didn't answer this question, but instead asked: "You walked through this street just now, what did you see?" Xue Bing said: "This is not a street, it's just a dirty and small alley." Lu Xiaofeng said: "This is a street, and it might be the most famous street in this city!" Xue Bing said: "Oh?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Do you know what's on this street?" Xue Bing said: "There are some messy, dirty and dilapidated small shops, and there are some messy, strange-looking people!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Can you see what those people do?" Xue Bing said: "I don't even bother to look at them!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "You should see it!" Xue Bing said: "Why?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because among those people, there are at least ten fugitives that the government is chasing, twenty thieves with the fastest hands and feet, and thirty thugs who fight and kill people in dark alleys on behalf of others. If you offend them, you don't care. You can't do anything you want to do in this city!" Xue Bing said: "I understand, so this street is a black street!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "The Snake King is the king of this street and the boss of those people, as long as he has a word, those people can work for you at any time!" Xue Bing said: "You don't want to find those people to fight for you, do you?" Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "If you want to fight, I already have such a good helper like you, so I don't need to find someone else!" Xue Bing said: "Then, what are you doing looking for this Snake King?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I want him to replace me..." Before he could finish his words, the guy hurried back, and his attitude towards Lu Xiaofeng changed again, becoming more affectionate and respectful: "It turns out that your place is an old friend remembering mandarin fish, big brother, why don't you explain it earlier?" I know?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Please remember me again?" The guy said: "Remember the Hong Kong department. I pray that you are the most skilled person in the world. I am so hesitant. Please come with me quickly!" Outside the back door was an even narrower alley. The gutter smelled bad and was full of flies.At the end of the alley, there is another narrow door. Pushing open the door and walking in, there is a big yard, a dozen naked-chested big men are gambling in the yard, sweating all over their bodies.Dozens of bamboo cages were piled up in the corner, some of which were filled with poisonous snakes, and some of which contained wild cats and wild dogs. Pressing it in the basin drowned the dog alive.Xue Bing could hardly bear to vomit. Lu Xiaofeng remained calm, and said calmly: "This is an expert at killing dogs, he won't leak any blood, this kind of dog meat will make up for it!" Xue Bing didn't dare to speak, for she was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would spit out all the meat soup she had just eaten. The two big men who had been watching people gamble with their hands crossed all the time came over suddenly, glared at Lu Xiaofeng, and said, "Are you here to kill the Snake King?" Lu Xiaofeng nodded.The two big guys looked at each other, and suddenly they shot together, as if they wanted to grab Lu Xiaofeng. Lu Xiaofeng didn't move, as soon as the two big men's hands grabbed him, his own person was ejected. The man laughed and said, "I told you that you are sharp in kung fu, but you two don't believe me. Do you dare not believe me?" All the big men in the yard turned their heads, looked at Lu Xiaofeng in surprise, and stepped aside one after another. The guy led them into a small grocery store again, and walked up a very narrow staircase. On a narrow door, there was a door curtain made of black beans and acacia beans: "The Snake King is next to you, please come in! " How can a black street tycoon who can command so many heroes live in such a crappy place?Xue Bing couldn't help being surprised again.But as soon as she walked through this door, she was not surprised, the inside and outside of the room were completely different worlds.Xue Bing was originally a daughter of a wealthy family, but even she had never seen such a luxuriously furnished room.Everything in the house is a valuable boutique.The cup for drinking tea is carved out of a whole piece of white jade, the plate containing fruit and candied fruit is a crystal plate from Persia, and the paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall include two figures of Wu Daozi, one of Han Gan's horse, and one of Han Gan's horse. There is also a banner, which is actually the original work of the king. A person was leaning on a soft couch, smiling and extending his hand to Lu Xiaofeng.There is almost no flesh on these hands, and Xue Bing has never seen such a thin person.Not only was there no flesh on his hands, but on his pale face, there was almost only a layer of skin covering the bones. In such hot weather, there was still a layer of tiger skin on the soft couch, and he was still wearing a robe.薛冰连做梦也没有想到,这位市井好汉中的老大,竟是个这么样的人。 陆小凤已走过去,紧紧握住了他的手。 蛇王微笑着道:“想不到你居然还记得我这个废人,居然还想着来看看我!” 薛冰总算松了口气,他说的总算还是她能听得懂的话。 陆小风道:“我早就想来看你了,可是这次……我并不是特地来看你的!” 蛇王笑道:“不管怎么样,你总算已来了,我已经很高兴!” 陆小凤道:“我是有事来求你的!” 蛇王道:“你既然到了这里,有事当然要来找我,你能想到来找我,就表示你还拿我当做朋友,这就已经足够!”他大笑着,看着薛冰,又道:“何况,你还带了这么美的一位姑娘来,我已很久没有看见过这样的美人了!” 薛冰的脸又红了,嫣然道:“我姓薛,叫薛冰!”她忽然发现这个蛇王身子虽虚弱,却是个非常豪爽的人,而且显然很够义气。她忽然发现自己对这个人的印象居然很不错。 蛇王道:“薛冰?是不是神针薛夫人家里的薛冰?” 薛冰红着脸,点了点头。 蛇王大笑,道:“想不到今天我居然能见到武林中最有名的美人。”他用力握着陆小凤的手,又笑道:“看来你非但眼光不错,运气也很不错,我若是你,我自己一定先干一大杯。” 这次陆小凤倒听话得很,立刻倒了杯酒喝下去。桌上有金樽玉爵,酒是琥珀色的。 酒已微醺。蛇王终于问:“你要什么?只要我有的,你都可以拿去,若是我没有的,我也可以去帮你找到!” 陆小凤道:“我要一张图!” 蛇王道:“什么图?” 陆小凤道:“王府的地形图,上面还要详细辟明着守卫暗卡的所在,和他们换班的时间!” 这当然绝不是件容易的事。但蛇王既没有露出难色,也没有问为什么要这样一张图。 他的回答很简单:“好!”陆小凤也没有谢,他们的交情已用不着说这个字。 蛇王看着他,目中带着满意之色,他懂得陆小凤的意思,他只问了一句话:“今天晚上你们准备住在哪里?” “如意客栈!” “明天日落前,我会叫人将那张图送去。” 江岸边的风,永远是清凉的,夜凉如水。有月,有星,还有繁星般的点点渔火。他们带着五分酒意,沿着江岸慢慢的向前走。这实在是个很美丽的城市,他们喜欢这城市,也喜欢这城市里的人。 薛冰忽然轻轻叹了口气,道:“我现在总算明白了一件事!” Lu Xiaofeng said: "What's the matter?" 薛冰道:“你的确有很多好朋友!” 陆小凤承认:“尤其是蛇王,无论谁能交到他这种朋友,都是运气!” 薛冰停下来,眺望着江上的渔火,月下的波影,心里充满了欢愉:“我喜欢这地方,将来我说不定会在这里住下来的!” 陆小凤道:“这地方不但人好,天气好,而且还有很多好东西吃。” 薛冰嫣然道:“尤其是你带我去吃的那碗肉羹,我一辈子也忘不了!” 陆小凤笑了,道:“你若知道那是用什么肉做的,一定更忘不了!” 薛冰道:“那是用什么肉做的?” 陆小凤道:“蛇肉和猫肉。” 薛冰还在吐,她已经吐了五次,回到客栈,又找了个脸盆,躲在屋里吐,连苦水都吐了出来。陆小凤微笑着,在旁边看着。 薛冰总算吐完了,回过头,恨恨的看着他,咬牙道:“你这人一定有毛病,喜欢看别人受罪。” 陆小凤微笑道:“我并不喜欢看别人受罪,只不过喜欢看你受点罪!” 薛冰跳了起来,道:“我什么地方得罪了你?你要这样子害我?” 陆小凤叹了口气,摇着头,道:“这种人真没良心,我带她去吃那么好吃的东西,她居然还说我害她!” 薛冰道:“这么样说来,我还应该感激你才对!” Lu Xiaofeng said: "Not bad at all!" 薛冰道:“我实在很感激你,我简直感激得恨不得一口咬死你!” 她忽然扑过去,扑到他身上,一口咬住了他的耳朵,她咬得并不重…… 风这么轻,夜这么静。两个多情的年轻人,在一个陌生而美丽的城市里——你若是男人,你希不希望自己就是陆小凤?你若是女人,你希不希望自己就是薛冰? Dusk, dusk again.他们手挽着手,从外面回来时,桌上已摆着个很大的信封。 信封上只有四个字:“幸不辱命!” 青石板铺成的街道,在星光下看来,亮得就像是镜子。 薛冰用力握着陆小凤的手:“你一定要去?”陆小凤点点头。 薛冰道:“你一定不让我跟你去?” 陆小凤又点点头。薛冰却扭过头去,因为她眼睛里已有了泪光,她不愿让陆小凤看见。 陆小凤道:“若是我们两个人一起去,能活着出来的机会只有一半!” 薛冰道:“可是……我一个人在外面等你,你叫我怎么受得了!” 陆小凤道:“你可以去找人聊聊天,喝喝酒!” 薛冰道:“你叫我去找谁?” 陆小凤笑了笑,道:“只要有舌头能说话,有嘴能喝酒的人,你都可以去找!” 薛冰霍然转过头,狠狠的瞪着他,一脚踢在他小腿上,大声道:“好!我去找别的男人,你去死吧!”
