Chapter 44 Chapter 44: Confused

The next day, it was still a sunny day, and the sun was still shining very warmly.Xiao Yu'er lay on that chair again to bask in the sun. All the bones in his body seemed to be loose, as if he didn't think about anything, but in fact, he really had a lot of things on his mind. Although there are many things in his mind, but in conclusion, there are only two sentences: "How could that batch of dart money be robbed? Who robbed it?" He couldn't figure it out. At this time, the third girl actually came again. Xiao Yu'er squinted one eye to look at her, and saw that she seemed to be very excited, hurried to Xiao Yu'er, and said loudly: "Hey, you are wrong."

Xiao Yu'er was too lazy to talk to her at first, but when she heard this, she couldn't help opening her eyes and said, "What's wrong with me?" The third girl's eyes were shining, and she said: "I heard the news just now that the batch of dart silver has been taken back." Xiao Yu'er's eyes widened, and he asked, "Who took it back?" The third girl said loudly: "That man is about the same age as you, but he is much more capable than you. If you are not so lazy, maybe you can catch up to 10% of him." Xiao Yu'er jumped up and said, "Are you talking about Jiang Yulang?"

The third girl was startled, and said, "How do you know?" Xiao Yu'er suddenly laughed and said, "I know, of course I know...I know everything..." He laughed, screamed and danced, the third girl was stunned, and finally couldn't help asking: "Are you a lunatic?" Xiao Yu'er suddenly jumped up and kissed the third girl's face, and said with a big smile, "It's a pity I'm not, so their unlucky days are not far away." He clapped his hands and laughed, turned around and ran into the medicine store. The third girl touched her face with her hands, her eyes widened, she looked at him as if she was looking at some monster, and murmured: "Little lunatic...you are really a little lunatic."

Because only one light grass was used, the light was not bright. Xiao Yuer stared at the light in ecstasy, smiled and murmured: "Jiang Yulang, you are really smart, you pretended that the dart money was stolen, and then went to get it back by yourself... Such a mysterious robbery, you didn't bother If you can't do anything, there is no one in the Jianghu who can't admire you, and who would know that this is just a buffoon you made up yourself." He sighed softly, and continued: "Only me...Jiang Yulang, I hope you don't forget that there is still me in this world, and none of your evil ideas can hide from me."

Outside the window, the night is very quiet, only the wind blows the dead branches and makes a whistling sound.Suddenly, someone shouted under his voice: "Crazy... little lunatic, come out quickly." Xiao Yu'er opened the window a bit, and saw Miss Duan San in a bright red cloak standing under the moonlight and in the cold wind. The third girl just bit her lips and said, "I have something... I have something important to tell you. It really isn't that simple." Xiao Yu'er's eyes lit up, and said, "You got the news again?" The third girl said: "Yes... I just got the news that the dart silver was robbed again!"

Xiao Yu'er jumped out of the window before he put on his shoes. He was really taken aback. He stood on the cold stone slab with bare feet and said in a voiceless voice: "Is your news true?" The third girl said: "It's not fake at all." Xiao Yu'er rubbed his hands together and said, "This dart silver will be robbed by someone again, this is simply impossible, I really can't figure it out... Do you know who is robbing the dart?" The third girl said: "This time, the situation is quite different from the last time." Xiao Yu'er said: "What's the difference? Could it be that they don't even have to pay for the dart money lost this time?"

The third girl said slowly: "Yes, they really don't need to pay." Xiao Yu'er jumped up and said loudly, "Why?" The third girl lowered her eyes and said: "It's just because of the 'Shuangshi Bodyguard Bureau' big and small bodyguards, internal and external troopers, a total of ninety-eight people have died, and there is only one groom who feeds the horse." Xiao Yu'er raised his forehead with his hand, was stunned for a while, and suddenly said loudly: "What about Jiang Yulang?" The third girl said: "Jiang Yulang is not a member of the 'Shuangshi Escort Bureau'. He took back the dart silver and then retired without staying for a moment. Isn't this just the behavior of a great hero!"

Xiao Yu'er started to giggle, and said with a sneer, "What a hero, what a hero! I'm afraid he already knew that the dart silver was about to be robbed, so he slipped away." The third girl said: "You mean...the person who robbed the dart for the second time is also the group who robbed the dart for the first time?" Xiao Yuer blinked and said, "Is this impossible?" The third girl said: "The people who robbed the darts for the first time were all killed by Jiang Yulang. When he took back the dart silver, the dart silver was sent back together with the heads of the dart robbers!"

Xiao Yu'er clapped her hands and said: "Good method! It really is a very ruthless method!" The third girl stared at him, and said slowly: "Moreover, there was only one person who robbed the darts for the second time... all the ninety-eight heroes of the 'Double Lions Escort Bureau' died at the hands of this one person!" Xiao Yu'er was moved and said: "One person?...One person took ninety-eight lives in one night, who in the Jianghu has such vicious and clever means?" The third girl said: "It is said that he is a bearded old man with white beard and eyebrows!..."

Xiao Yu'er said: "Has anyone seen him?" The third girl said: "Of course it's the groom who narrowly escaped death." Xiao Yu'er said: "Then he..." The third girl interjected: "After he heard the first scream, he hid in the hay pile, only heard the scream in the room, followed by two or three cups of tea time..." Xiao Yuer lost his voice: "What a quick hand! What a quick knife!" The third girl sighed: "Although the murder was not long, in the groom's mind, it seemed that it had been several hours. Then he saw a tall and burly old man with a beard and a steel knife, and came out laughing wildly. The old man was wearing a light-colored shirt, but at this moment it was all stained red with blood!"

Xiao Yu'er rubbed his chin with his hand, and said leisurely: "This sounds like a story told by a storyteller. Every detail is described in detail, which is wonderful and moving... A person who has just narrowly escaped death can still describe the details. In such detail, it is a talent." The third girl smiled and said: "When I heard this, I also felt that he was very careful." Xiao Yu'er asked, "When did you hear the news?" The third girl said: "Just half an hour ago." Xiao Yu'er asked, "When did this thing happen?" The third girl said: "Last night." Xiao Yu'er said: "How did the news come so fast?" The third girl said: "Flying pigeons to send letters... With this place as the center, there are seventy-nine towns and cities thousands of miles away, all of which have pigeon stations set up by my family!" Xiao Yu'er suddenly said loudly: "What do I have to do with this matter? Why did you rush to tell me in such a hurry? Have you had enough to eat? Do you think that I have nothing to do with the person who robbed the dart? what is the relationship?" The third girl stomped her feet and said, "No! That's not what I meant!" Xiao Yuer said: "Then what do you mean?" The third girl's face turned red, but she still didn't lose her temper. She actually lowered her head, and said softly: "Just because you...you are my friend, if you have any strange things in your heart, you will always tell your friends..." Xiao Yu'er said loudly: "Friend?...I'm just a guy you hired, why do you regard me as your friend?" The third girl blushed even more, lowered her head, and said, "I... I don't know either." Xiao Yu'er stared at her for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing. The third girl bit her lip and said, "You...what are you laughing at?" Xiao Yu'er laughed loudly and said, "I've known you until now, you only look like a woman at this moment!" The third girl stood there with her head bowed for a long while, then suddenly burst into tears, her whole body seemed to go limp, and she threw herself on the cupboard, crying so sadly. Xiao Yuer frowned and said, "Why are you crying?" The third girl wept bitterly and said: "Since I was a child, no one has ever regarded me as a woman, even my father, he regards me as a boy, but I... I am obviously a woman." Xiao Yu'er was startled, nodded and said: "A woman is always regarded as a boy, it is indeed a painful thing!... You are really a very poor girl." The third girl groaned: "I can hear this sentence today, even if I die immediately, it will be nothing." Xiao Yu'er said: "But I don't sympathize with you at all." The third girl staggered back two steps, gritted her teeth and stared at him. Xiao Yu'er smiled and said: "You want others to treat you as a real girl, so you should act like a girl first, but you are wearing men's clothes all day long, smoking a big pipe, with one leg crossed Taller than your head, you look like a mule driver driving a cart, but how can others see you as a girl?" The third girl rushed over and raised her hand to hit her, but before she could lower her hand, she froze for a while, then lowered her head again. Xiao Yu'er said: "Good boy, go back and think about what I said... As for the matter of the dart, although I am not sure yet, I will tell you the truth in half a month." As he spoke, he jumped through the window. He closed the window, but looked out through the gap again, and saw the third girl standing there stupidly, thinking for a long time, and finally left stupidly.Xiao Yuer shook his head and smiled wryly. In the second half of the night, Xiao Yu'er slept soundly.Just as he was enjoying his sleep, suddenly several people rushed into the room and pulled him up from the bed, some helped him to dress, and some helped him to get his shoes. Among these few people, there is actually the big shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper of this pharmacy.Xiao Yu'er was sleepy, rubbed his eyes and said, "The day to get the money hasn't arrived yet, do you want to kidnap the ticket?" The second shopkeeper buttoned the buttons for him, and said with a smile: "Tell you the great news...the grand master wants to see you today." The big shopkeeper also laughed and said: "Master, it is rare to meet a buddy when he is an adult, and he is actually in Anqing today, and he is going to see you first, isn't it your luck?" So Xiao Yu'er was swarmed into the car in a daze, and after a meal, he came to a mansion so grand that it could frighten people, and he was swarmed in in a daze. This big mansion has one floor after another, Xiao Yu'er followed a young man with a pale face, walked for half a meal, and then walked to the back garden.There are five Ming Pavilions in the middle of the flowers and trees, which are elegant and exquisite. The handsome young man lowered his voice and said: "Master Tai is inside, he wants you to go in by yourself." Xiao Yu'er blinked and stood at the door, thought for a while, finally lifted the curtain, strode in, and saw the third girl at first sight.Today's Three Girls are very different from those in the past. What she wore was no longer trousers and a short jacket, but a pleated gold skirt and a new silk dress with white flowers on a blue background. Some rouge was lightly smeared on her face, and a pearl phoenix was stuck in her black hair, two pearls the size of longan, dangling from the earrings. She sat there with her head down, she seemed a bit shy, she clearly saw Xiao Yu'er coming in, but she still didn't raise her head, she just glanced at it, bit her lip lightly, but lowered her head even lower. Xiao Yu'er could hardly help laughing out loud - if he hadn't seen someone lying on the ground beside her, he would have laughed out loud already. The floor was covered with a thick Persian carpet, and a fat man in a toga was lying on the ground. At a glance, he looked like a big hydrangea. There was an emerald box in front of him, which was carved out of a whole piece of jadeite, worth at least ten thousand gold, but inside the box was a cricket. Xiao Yu'er also bent down, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this 'red-headed coffin' is an executioner..." The fat man raised his head, smiled until his eyes narrowed, and said, "You know crickets too?" Xiao Yu'er smiled and said, "I don't know much about other things besides having children." The fat man clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Okay, very good...Third brother, is he the one you're talking about?" It goes without saying that this person is naturally Duan Hefei, a well-known chaebol in the world. The third girl lowered her head and said, "Yes." Duan Hefei laughed until he lost his eyesight, and said: "Very good, great, your vision is really good." Xiao Yu'er touched his head and smiled, "What's the matter?" Duan Hefei said: "Don't ask, don't talk, I have everything to do... Pull me up first, use your strength... Hey, this is a good boy." He managed to get up from the ground, he looked more tired than others who had walked three miles. He gasped for breath, rubbed his chest and said with a smile: "Very good... very good... you like braised pork... what kind of shark's fin Bird's nest and abalone bear's paw are fake, but braised pork is the most enjoyable." Xiao Yu'er said: "But I don't know at all, this is..." Duan Hefei waved his hands and said with a smile: "You don't need to know, you don't need to know anything... It's enough for me to make decisions. Stay here for dinner. The braised pork cooked by my master chef is the best in the world." So Xiao Yuer ate a large bowl of braised pork in a daze.When he got here, his mouth seemed useless except for eating meat, because Duan Hefei didn't let him speak at all. After dusk, when he returned to the store, he still didn't know what Duan Hefei asked him to do, but he felt that the attitude of everyone in "Qing Yu Tang" towards him had changed. That is naturally becoming more polite. After taking a bath, Xiao Yu'er just lay down on the wicker chair when suddenly he heard a rough voice coming from the front, he said straightly like a broken gong: "Aconite, cinnamon, rhino horn, bear bile..." He said a lot of names of medicines, either severe cold or severe fever, and then he heard the high-pitched voice of the second shopkeeper, who presumably asked him: "How much of these medicines do you always want?" The voice said: "As many as you have in this store, we want as much as we want, we want everything, and we can't keep any money." Another person said: "Your 'Qingyutang' must have a medicine storehouse, take the men to have a look." This person's voice was even louder, it sounded like a string of firecrackers. Xiao Yu'er had a thought, just stood up, and saw that the second shopkeeper was dragged in by two big men in brocade clothes, like an eagle catching a chicken. Under the lights, I saw these two big men with kite shoulders and waists, vigorous movements, glaring eyebrows, and murderous looks on their faces. When meeting such people, can the two shopkeepers be disobedient? Xiao Yu'er stood by with his arms folded and watched, the staff in the store really packed all the medicinal materials that the two big men in brocade clothes wanted, and tied them into four big bags. Xiao Yu'er quietly dunked a small stone in his palm, and when they took the medicine bag out and put it on the car, he flicked his finger lightly, and the stone flew out with a "chi" and hit the corner of the medicine bag, The lights in the room were not bright, and he shot quickly, so naturally no one noticed. He lay back on the wicker chair again, looked at the shining stars in the sky, and murmured: "It seems that this is just another good show..." The night was even quieter, everyone in the pharmacy had already fallen asleep, but Xiao Yu'er was still sitting under the starlight. In this peaceful and quiet night, he seemed to be expecting something amazing to happen.Xiao Yu'er narrowed his eyes, as if he was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes in the quiet night.Xiao Yu'er's eyes lit up immediately, he listened carefully, and murmured: "Three horses, why are there only three horses?" At this time, the healthy horse neighed sharply, and the sound of hooves suddenly stopped.As expected, the three horses all reined in and stopped in front of Qingyu Hall. Then, there was a hasty knock on the door, and one person shouted: "The store is open, open the door quickly, we have people who are urgently ill and need to buy medicine." The loud voice was indeed full of anxiety.The guy who slept in the front was naturally awakened, so the sounds of responses, complaints, urgings, and door openings rang out together. The anxious voice shouted loudly: "We want aconite, cinnamon, rhino horn, bear bile... three catties of each, hurry, hurry, this is an emergency." The store clerk was naturally taken aback—why did the people who came here today want to buy these medicines?Their answer, of course, was: "No." The anxious voice immediately became more panicked and anxious, and even made a fuss: "How come such a big pharmacy doesn't even have these medicines?" This person was also six feet away, with a pair of majestic and cold eyes that were covered with bloodshot eyes.The store clerk saw this fierce look, so he could only apologize and said with a smile: "We are a century-old store, and we have all kinds of original medicines, but unfortunately, these few medicines were sold out two hours ago, you may as well go to another shop try." Xiao Yu'er walked over quietly and looked out from the gap in the door, only to see that the big man was dripping with cold sweat dripping from anxiety, he couldn't stop pausing and said, "What's so unfortunate! There are dozens of medicine shops in this city, and there are none." These medicines!" The door of the shop outside was ajar, and there was another big man outside the door, leading two healthy horses. The horses kept foaming from their mouths, obviously after a long gallop. There is also a man and a horse standing a few feet away.Under the starlight, I saw a man on horseback with a black scarf covering his head and a long black cloak. As he stared forward, the starlight shone on her face—this person was actually a woman. The store clerk held the candlestick in his hand and was anxious to see off the guests.Suddenly, with a flicker of candlelight, the woman in black immediately appeared in front of him somehow, her bright eyes seemed as sharp as a knife!The shop clerk couldn't help being startled, and staggered back, the candle's tears dripped on the back of his hand, scalding his heart, and when he let go, the candlestick fell straight down. But the candlestick did not fall on the ground, somehow, it fell into the hands of the woman in black, the candle was not extinguished, and the bright red candlelight was shining on her pale face!Her face was as pale as a midnight ghost. She fixed her eyes on the clerk, and said word by word: "Are these medicines bought by the same person?" The store clerk was also frightened, and tremblingly said: "Yes... no... it's two people!" The woman in black asked, "Who is it?" Her slow voice suddenly became sharp and short, and full of resentment, even the shopkeeper couldn't help shivering shrewdly, saying: "No... I don't know... We are in business , how dare to inquire about the origin of the client." The sharp eyes of the woman in black were still staring at him without blinking, as if to see if what he said was true?is fake?Under the gaze of such a pair of eyes, who can tell a lie! The shop clerk's legs were weakened by the look, but luckily the woman in black finally turned around, got on the horse, and beat the horse... The sound of hooves gradually receded, going faster than when it came. The shop assistant looked like he was dreaming, he suddenly lowered his head, only to see the candlestick placed on the ground in front of his feet - this is certainly not a dream, he leaned over to pick up the candlestick... The candle flame suddenly flickered again.The clerk was startled again, and the candlestick he just took fell down again. But this time the candlestick still did not fall to the ground, and the candle was still not extinguished—a hand stretched out like lightning, and happened to catch the candlestick.The store clerk turned around in shock and saw Xiao Yu'er. Xiao Yu'er held the candlestick in his hand, but looked into the distance, and murmured: "Unexpectedly...unexpectedly, it was her!" The shop clerk said, "She... who is she?" Xiao Yu'er said: "Her name is He Lu, and she is a maid of Yihua Palace... I tell you these words, you don't understand." Suddenly she jumped lightly, stretched out her hand to grab the paper that was blown up by the wind, I saw the name of the pharmacy written all over the paper. Xiao Yu'er said: "She threw this piece of paper away, obviously she has searched every pharmacy, but still can't buy those medicines..." The store clerk said, "Strange, why are they so eager to buy these strange medicines?" Xiao Yu'er smiled and said, "Naturally, it's because someone in their family has a strange disease." The shop clerk lowered his head and said, "What kind of disease could it be? To be cured by these kinds of medicines for severe cold and severe fever... I have never even heard of this kind of disease, have you?" He raised his head, Ask Xiao Yuer. The candlestick was placed on the ground again, but the little fish had disappeared.
