Chapter 5 The Fourth Round of Ingots·Women·Dogs

Some people say: women are disasters. Some people say: Without women, it is deserted; with women, chickens and dogs are restless. These words are naturally spoken by men.But no matter what men say, women are always indispensable in this world.Among 10,000 men, at least 9,990 would rather lose ten years of life than live without women. Some people say: money can pass through the gods. Some people say: money is evil. But no matter how you say it, money is something that no one can lack.If a person has no money, he is like an empty sack, he will never be able to stand up straight. These two things can turn not only the smartest people into fools, but also the best friends into enemies.

If a woman suddenly appeared among the four bachelor men, the situation would be like a chopstick suddenly reaching into a bowl containing four raw eggs, and it would be impossible not to stir up a mess. Wang Dong, Guo Dalu, Yan Qi, and Lin Taiping, these four people were indeed living a free and unrestrained life, because they had neither money nor women. They wake up every morning feeling very happy, because the bad "yesterday" is finally over, and today is full of hope. But, all of a sudden, these two things came, do you think it's life-or-death? Wang Dong may have been awake for a long time, but he was still lying on the ground, motionless.

He first rolled a torn quilt into a cylinder, and then stretched it in bit by bit, putting his whole body into the cylinder, and it was airtight on all sides. The mice were running around beside him. At first they were a bit scrupulous and didn't dare to climb on him, but then they gradually regarded him as a dead person and almost climbed on his head. Wang Dong still didn't move. Lin Taiping had been paying attention to him for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, walked over quietly, stretched out his hand, and put it in front of his nose, trying to test if he was still breathing.

Wang Dong suddenly said, "I'm not dead yet." Lin Taiping was startled, quickly withdrew his hand, and said, "You don't care if the mouse is crawling on you?" Wang Dong said: "I have never dealt with mice, and I don't have the same knowledge as them—only cats can fight against mice." Lin Taiping was startled, and said: "There should indeed be a cat here." Wang Dong said: "There used to be a cat here, which was brought back by Yan Qi." Lin Taiping said, "Where's the cat?" Wang Dong said: "Eloped with the male cat at the foot of the mountain."

Lin Taiping widened his eyes and looked at him for a long time. The snow has stopped, and the stars and the moon have risen. The moonlight came in from the window and shone on his face.His face is very well-defined, with a broad forehead and a high and straight nose. Even if he is not a very handsome man, at least he has character. "This man doesn't look like a lunatic or an idiot. Why is he a little crazy?" Lin Taiping sighed, looked around, and said, "Where are your two friends?" He really wanted to talk to someone who wasn't crazy. Wang Dong said: "Going down the mountain to hunt."

Lin Taiping said: "Hunting? Hunting in this weather?" Wang Dong said: "Yes." Lin Taiping was speechless, he suddenly discovered a theorem: A madman's friend must be a madman too. After a while, there was a "grunt" in the darkness, and then another "grunt". Wang Dong murmured: "It's strange! Why is the rat's cry different from usual today?" Lin Taiping blushed, and murmured: "It's not a mouse, it's...it's..." Wang Dong said: "What is it?" Lin Taiping couldn't help but said loudly: "It's my stomach that is growling, don't you guys never eat?"

Wang Dong smiled and said: "Of course I have to eat when there is food, but when there is no food, I have to listen to my stomach growling." Lin Taiping was stunned again, he really didn't understand, how could a person be so happy when he didn't even have to eat? Wang Donghu said again: "You are lucky today." Lin Taiping smiled bitterly and said, "Me? Good luck?" Wang Dong said: "I have a hunch today that they must have a good hunting harvest, and what they bring back may make you eat..." He originally wanted to say "a big meal", but before he finished the sentence, he himself was "surprised".

Guo Dalu had already returned, walked in the door, and indeed he brought something back, it was something that could run, jump, climb trees, and squeak. It's a monkey. If there was a time when Wang Dong turned pale, it was now. Seeing Wang Dong's expression, Guo Dalu almost burst out laughing, panting and laughing: "You don't need to be afraid, this is a male monkey, not a female." A delicate voice sounded behind him, saying, "Your friend is afraid of female monkeys?" Guo Dalu laughed even harder, and said, "It's true that I'm a little scared, how many people in this world are not afraid of their wives?"

Wang Dong said with a straight face, "It's funny, it's so funny, how can there be such a funny person in the world, it's really strange." Lin Taiping neither knew what was so funny nor wanted to know. He only felt his eyes light up, as if thousands of hundreds of lamps suddenly lit up in the dark room. All light emanates from a single person.This man was wearing a coarse cloth, carrying two baskets in his hands, and he had already followed Guo Dalu into the room. Three more people followed her: an adult and two children.The children were all neatly dressed, but the adults only wore leopard skins.

These people have been enough to see for a long time, but not all of them.Besides them, there were two dogs, a large knife and gun, three or four gongs, and five or six bamboo poles. Wang Dong murmured: "I know he has always wanted to compete with Yan Qi to see who is more capable and who brings back more things, but at least he should save some face, and there is no need for him to lose so badly." Yan Qi leaned against the door and said with a smile: "Although I lost badly, I was convinced by the defeat. I went out twenty times and brought back as many things as he did once."

Guo Dalu said with a smile: "Although my friends have bad mouths, they are not too bad. Come on, let me introduce you first. This girl is..." The girl smiled and said: "Let me tell myself. My name is Suanmei Tang, this is my cousin 'Flying Leopard', and my two little cousins, one is 'Xiao Linglong' and the other is 'Little King Kong' .” Who is "Flying Leopard"?In fact, there is no need to introduce it at all, others will understand it at a glance. But the two children looked almost exactly the same, both had big eyes, both had braids upturned, and both had dimples when they laughed. And their dimples are not one on the left and one on the right. Both dimples are on the right. Wang Dong couldn't help asking: "Who is Little Linglong? Who is Little King Kong?" The two children said together: "Guess what." Wang Dong blinked, and said: "The one next to Little King Kong is Xiao Linglong, and the one next to Xiao Linglong is Xiao Gang. Isn't that right?" The two children laughed together, one of them ran over suddenly, leaned into Wang Dong's ear, whispered a few words, and laughed again: "This is our secret, you must not tell others." The child's laughter was like a silver bell. It turned out to be a girl. Guo Dalu took another child's hand and said, "Xiao Linglong is your sister, isn't she?" The boy shook his head and said, "No, she is my sister." Before she finished speaking, Xiao Linglong yelled and said: "Idiot! I already knew that boys are idiots, and they will come out as soon as they are deceived." Little King Kong blushed, and protested: "You are not stupid, you are smart, why do you dress up like a boy?" The child's words really hit the nail on the head - women look down on men and think men are stupid, but they want to be a man. This is the biggest problem with women. Lin Taiping had been watching the sour plum soup, and suddenly said: "Of course these are not your real names." Sour plum soup sighed, and said softly: "Those of us who go to the rivers and lakes to perform, even lose all our ancestors, how can there be any real names?" Lin Taiping also sighed, and said: "What's wrong with going to the rivers and lakes to perform? Some people want to go to the rivers and lakes and it's not enough." Sour plum soup glanced at him again, and said, "It seems that you have a lot of things on your mind..." Guo Dalu suddenly interrupted her and said, "This person looks like a girl." Lin Taiping glared at him, his expression changed a little. Sour plum soup rushed to laugh and said: "Could it be that only girls can have worries? In this way, don't all men really become heartless fools?" Lin Taiping looked at her with gratitude. Guo Dalu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Even if all men are heartless, they at least have stomachs." Sour plum soup chuckled and said, "I almost forgot if you didn't tell me..." She put down the basket, lifted the paper covering it, tore off a chicken leg first, and then smiled: "Actually, women's stomachs are not much smaller than men's, but sometimes they feel embarrassed to eat too much." Little King Kong said: "But why have you never felt embarrassed?" Sour plum soup hit him on the head with a chicken leg, Little King Kong snatched half of the chicken and ran away, the monkey kept jumping on the ground, and the two dogs barked. Wang Dong shook his head and murmured, "This place hasn't been this lively for more than ten years." Guo Dalu said: "Don't worry, this place will still be lively for several days." Wang Dong said: "How many days?" Guo Dalu looked at the slim back of Sour Plum Tang, and said: "Many days... I heard that they are looking for a house to live in, so I have already rented out the five rooms in the back row to them." Wang Dong almost choked out the sip of wine he just drank, and said, "How much is the rent?" Guo Dalu stared and said, "Who do you think I am? A cheapskate? Would you ask someone for rent? If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't even be able to invite such a guest." Wang Dong looked at him for a long time, then heaved a long sigh, and said with a wry smile: "There is something I don't understand anymore." Guo Dalu said: "What's the matter?" Wang Dong said: "Is this house yours? Or mine?" If there is anything in the world that can make a dirty and lazy man work harder, it is a woman. Early the next morning, Wang Dong was still lying in the "tube", Guo Dalu had gone to fetch water, but Lin Taiping was looking around in the house. Wang Dong couldn't help but said, "What are you looking for?" Lin Taiping said: "Washbasin, washcloth, and cup for rinsing mouth." Wang Dong laughed and said, "Not only have I not seen these things for a long time, but I have never even heard of some of them." Lin Taiping seemed to have been whipped suddenly, opened his mouth wide, and said in a stuttering voice, "You...don't you even wash your face?" Wang Dong said: "Of course I wash it. It's just a small wash every three days and a big wash every five days." Lin Taiping said: "How do you do small washing? How do you do big washing?" Wang Dong said: "Yan Qi, show him the wash." Yan Qi stretched her waist and said, "I just washed it yesterday, it's your turn today." Wang Dong sighed and said, "Then you should at least bring the guy who washes your face." Guo Dalu just came in with two buckets of water, Yan Qi scooped up half of the bowl of water with that broken bowl, and took a piece of yellow and black cloth of unknown color from the wall. Only then did Wang Dong reluctantly sit up, took a sip of water, put it in his mouth, spread out the towel with his hands, rinsed his mouth vigorously, then sprayed a sip of water on the cloth in his hand, and casually sprayed it on his face. After applying it, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, it's finished." Lin Taiping seemed to see a ghost, his face turned blue with fright, and said: "This... is this Xiao Xi?" Wang Dong said: "It's not Xiao Xi, it's Da Xi. If Xiao Xi is so troublesome, then it's okay?" Even Lin Taiping's lips were a little blue, and he looked as if he was about to faint. After a long, long time, he let out a long breath and said, "If anyone can find someone dirtier than you, I would rather kowtow to him .” Wang Dong said with a smile: "You knock now, there are people dirtier than us all over the street." Lin Taiping shook his head desperately and said, "I don't believe it." Wang Dong said indifferently: "Although our people are dirty, our hearts are not dirty. Not only are they not dirty, but they are very clean. If a person's heart is dirty, even if he boils it with soap ten times a day, he is still not clean." Lin Taiping tilted his head, thought for a long time, then suddenly slapped his hands and said: "It makes sense, it makes sense. If a person lives happily and has a clear conscience, it doesn't matter whether he eats or not, and it doesn't matter whether he washes his face or not." He laughed three times on his back, ran to the yard, rolled on the ground, laughed and said, "I figured it out, I figured it out...why haven't I figured it out before?" Wang Dong and Yan Qi looked at him with smiles, as if they were also happy for him, because they also saw that he did have a serious mind. He didn't know what he was doing right?Now I know I did nothing wrong. To live alone, one must live with a clear conscience. This is the most important thing. But Guo Dalu was washing his face, muttering in his mouth: "It doesn't matter if you don't wash your face, it doesn't matter if you wash your face, right?" After washing his face, he wiped his clothes and boots with a cloth. Yan Qi looked at him coldly, and said, "Why don't you just take off your shoes and wash your feet?" Guo Dalu smiled and said, "That's exactly what I meant, but it's a pity that time is too late." He rushed out the door suddenly and said, "They must be awake too, I'll go to the back and have a look." Lin Taiping said: "I will go too." The two rushed out at the same time, as if rushing to put out a fire. Wang Dong glanced at Yan Qi, and said with a smile, "My fair lady, you are a gentleman, why don't you go?" Yan Qi said calmly, "I'm not a gentleman." Wang Dong said: "You don't seem to like that sour plum soup girl at all." Yan Qi was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "What do you think they do?" Wang Dong rolled his eyeballs and asked, "Aren't they going around the rivers and lakes to perform?" Yan Qi said: "If you really treat them as street performers, you are also an idiot." Wang Dong said: "Why?" Yan Qi said: "Can't you see that the monkey and the dog didn't listen to them at all, they were obviously brought in temporarily to pretend. And that flying leopard deliberately dressed up strangely, but in fact he was a very well-behaved person. I don't dare to say too much, and my hands are white and thin, how can I look like someone who carries a box and leads a dog all day?" Wang Dong listened quietly, finally nodded, and said, "I didn't expect you to be so careful. But if they weren't going around the rivers and lakes, what would they be doing?" Yan Qi said: "Who knows, maybe it's a robber." Wang Dong laughed and said, "If they were really robbers, they wouldn't come here. What else is there for them to make up their minds?" Before Yan Qi could speak, she heard an exclamation from behind. It was Guo Dalu's voice. A person like Guo Dalu wouldn't cry out in surprise even if he saw a ghost. I'm afraid there are very few things in the world that can make him cry. Yan Qi was the first to rush out. Wang Dong also moved. The back yard is smaller than the front, and the yard is full of bamboo.In the past, every summer night when the wind was clear and the moon was white, the owner would lie here and listen to the sound of bamboo waves like waves. So here, like many other yards planted with bamboo, is called "Tingzhu Xiaoyuan", and the row of five rooms is called "Tingzhuxuan". But when Wang Dong became the owner, he changed its name to "You Zhu Wu Rou Xuan", because he felt that although the name "Ting Zhu" was elegant at first, it has become very vulgar now. He thought that although the first person to use "Tingzhu" as the name of his pavilion was a very elegant and smart person, the 80th person who used "Tingzhu" as his pavilion name was a vulgar fool. Now the yard is not only "no meat", even the bamboo has been almost cut down. Bamboo can be used as a bamboo pole for drying clothes, and can also be used to build a pergola, so Wang Dong often trades bamboo for meat.When a person is very hungry, he often forgets what Fengya is. Sour plum soup, Flying Leopards and the others lived here last night, but now, people, dogs and monkeys are all gone, leaving only Guo Dalu and Lin Taiping standing there in a daze. There were still a few boxes at their feet, brand new boxes. Wang Dong said: "Has your guest left without saying goodbye?" Guo Dalu nodded. Yan Qi said coldly: "Leave as soon as you leave, there is no need to make a fuss." Guo Dalu didn't speak, but handed over a note in his hand. A few words were written in charcoal on the note: "Five boxes, for rent, please accept, there will be a date later." Yan Qi said: "You have to pay rent to live in a house, it's nothing unusual." Guo Dalu sighed, and said, "It's rare, but it's just too much." Wang Dong said: "What's in the box?" Guo Dalu said: "It's nothing else, just a few boxes of copper stinky things." If money smells like copper, then these five boxes are enough to kill 38,000 people. Four of the boxes contained nothing but ingots.There are all kinds of ingots, big and small, and the smallest one weighs twelve taels. And there was a chest full of jewels, all kinds of jewels.There are pearls, emeralds, agates, and some unnamed gems. No matter which box is in it, you can buy the entire Fugui Villa. Wang Dong and Yan Qi were also stunned. After a long time, Yan Qi finally exhaled, "When they came last night, they didn't bring these five boxes." Guo Dalu said: "No." Lin Taiping said: "Then where did the box come from?" Yan Qi sneered and said, "It was either snatched or stolen." Guo Dalu said: "The stamps on the back of these ingots are all different." Yan Qi said: "Of course it's different, no one would keep so many treasures in their house, they must have stolen from many different houses." Wang Dong sighed: "To be able to steal so many people's homes in one night is quite a feat." Yan Qi said: "It's not unusual, a clever thief can go to thousands of houses every day and rob hundreds of houses at night." Guo Dalu said: "The things they stole so hard are given to us, such thieves are rare in the world." Yan Qi said: "Maybe they want to frame you." Guo Dalu said: "Framed? Why framed? We have no enmity with her." Yan Qi said leisurely: "Don't you think she really took a fancy to you and specially sent these five boxes as a dowry?" Lin Taiping said: "Leave him alone, the question is what should we do with these five boxes now?" Guo Dalu said: "What should we do? Since they sent it, we will accept it of course." Yan Qi sighed: "This person has the greatest ability. No matter how complicated things are, once he talks about them, they will immediately become simpler." Guo Dalu said: "This matter is very simple." Wang Dong said: "It's not easy." Guo Dalu said: "What's not simple?" Wang Dong said: "They will never send us so many treasures for no reason, there must be another purpose." Yan Qi said: "What's more, since these things are stolen, if we take them, wouldn't we also become thieves?" Wang Dong said: "Anything can be done, only a thief is absolutely impossible. You only need to be a thief once and taste the sweetness, then you don't want to do anything else in the future, and you have to be a thief for the rest of your life." Yan Qi said: "And the sons born in the future will also be thieves, old thieves beget big thieves, big thieves beget little thieves." Guo Dalu smiled and said: "You don't need to hate me, although I was a thief once, but not only did I not taste the sweetness, but I also lost my last sword." Wang Dong said: "Being a thief is also learned, and not everyone can do it." Lin Taiping said: "I think we'd better take these things and return them to others." Guo Dalu said: "Who will give it back to? Who knows from whom these things were stolen?" Yan Qi said: "If you don't know, you can ask." Guo Dalu said: "Where can I find out?" Yan Qi said: "At the foot of the mountain. Since they stole all these things last night, they must have stolen them at the foot of the mountain." Guo Dalu looked at the whole box of ingots and sighed: "You are right, this place is indeed not a poor place... No matter where there is so much gold, it is not a poor place." He suddenly smiled again, and said: "So this Fugui Villa is really worthy of the name, at least today." Although the time when Fugui Villa lived up to its name was not long, they were still happy. Because they made the smartest choice. They gave up wealth, but left a conscience. This may be the time when wealth is closest to them, but they are not greedy for wealth, nor do they use greedy, despicable, and deceitful methods to obtain wealth, so they are always happy, just like flowers and plants bathed in the spring sunshine. They know that happiness is much more lovely than riches. ※※※ Mai Laoguang. Mai Laoguang is the name of a small restaurant, but also a personal name. The burning incense of "Mai Laoguang" is said to be able to attract all people and dogs within ten miles to the door.Mai Laoguang is the owner, chef and waiter of this small restaurant. In addition to roast meat, Mai Laoguang only sells rice and porridge.If you want to drink, you have to buy it from the "Yan Maoyuan Liquor Shop" next door, or you can buy roast meat and go to Yan Maoyuan to drink. Someone persuaded Mai Laoguang, why not sell wine with him, wouldn't it be possible to make more money? But Mai Laoguang is a stubborn person, and most of the "Lao Guang" are very stubborn people, so if you want to drink, you have to buy it yourself. If you are not satisfied with this place, there is nowhere else to go. Because Mai Laoguang's roast meat is not only the best, but also the only one in the vicinity. People in the mountain city can't even bear to light oil lamps, so how can they be willing to spend money to eat outside.So even if someone wants to grab Lao Guang's business, it will automatically close down in a few days. Mai Laoguang has always had no bad feelings towards Wang Dong and Guo Dalu, because he knows that although these people are poor, they never pay on credit. Every time they come, they always have two handfuls of silver on them, and they eat a lot every time.No restaurant owner would be hostile to customers who eat a lot. Diagonally opposite Mai Laoguang is Wang Dong's "mother's house". Uncle's house means pawn shop. Every time they come, they will go to the uncle's house first, and they must be much more airy when they come out than when they go in. But today is an exception. When they passed by their uncle's house, they didn't even stop, and their chests were very high.Just by the way they walk, you know the pockets are never empty. Mai Laoguang was relieved, but also surprised: "Why, Brother Banqi changed his career to become a thief? Do you suddenly have a lot of money?" Qidi doesn't mean to be a curse, sometimes it's just to express intimacy. There were four people who came this time, before entering the door, Mai Laoguang went up to greet him, greeted him in his half-baked Cantonese Mandarin, and said, "You ordered so early today?" I am not afraid of the sky and the earth, but I am afraid of the Cantonese speaking official language. Fortunately, Guo Dalu is used to it, even if he doesn't understand it, he can guess it.He laughed and said: "It's not that people came early, it's that money came early, first cut us two roast geese, five catties of crispy meat, and then a fried chicken." Mai Laoguang blinked and said, "Don't drink?" Guo Dalu said: "Of course, you go and get ten catties first, and I will give it to you later." His voice was also loud, because he had a full twelve taels of gold on his body. Since the purpose is to find out who's home has been stolen, it doesn't matter to spend them ten taels of gold.How can you inquire about news when you don't even bother to talk when you are hungry? Therefore, there is not even a burden on their conscience. As the wine gradually descends in the bottle, the sense of responsibility rises in their hearts. If you drink other people's wine, you should do things for them. They are by no means free eaters. So Guo Dalu asked: "Did you hear any news in the past two days?" No. The most sensational news in the city was that Mrs. Wang, who runs a grocery store, gave birth to twins. Everyone started to feel strange. Guo Dalu said: "Maybe they didn't steal it here." Yan Qi said: "It must be." Guo Dalu said: "Then why hasn't anyone been stolen in this place? It's a big deal to steal so many people's houses in one night, and the city should have been thrown into chaos long ago." Yan Qi said: "It's not that there is no, it's that I don't say it, I dare not say it." Guo Dalu said: "Being stolen is not something to be ashamed of, why don't you dare say it?" Yan Qi said: "If a person's money comes from a wrong source, if someone steals it, he will have to be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, which is a pain in his heart." Guo Dalu smiled and said, "In that case, it's none of our business, we've tried our best anyway, haven't we?" At this time, almost all the wine was in his stomach, and his sense of responsibility was almost squeezed out.He suddenly felt very relaxed, and said loudly: "Go and get us another ten catties of wine." Before Mai Laoguang walked out the door, three people walked in suddenly. The first person is tall, wearing golden clothes, as if very gorgeous; the second person is taller and surprisingly thin.But what these two people looked like, others did not see clearly. Because everyone's eyes have been attracted by the third person. The man was all black.Black clothes, black trousers, black boots, black gloves on the hands, and a black felt hat on the head, pressed tightly on the forehead. In fact, even if he didn't wear this felt hat, no one could see his face. He even covered his head and face with a black cloth cover, only showing a pair of knife-like eyes. This is the attire of a night walker, only suitable for wearing in the middle of the night when doing shady things, but he wore it on the street openly. what does he look like What kind of person is he? No one can see, no one knows, there is not an inch of his body that can be seen by others. But for some reason, everyone felt that every inch of his body was full of danger. The most dangerous thing is of course the sword on his back. A black sheath sword four feet seven inches long. Few people use this kind of sword, because it is not an easy task to pull such a long sword out of the scabbard. It must have a very special technique, a very special skill. People who can use this kind of sword are by no means easy to deal with.Since he had difficulty pulling out the sword, he would never put it back easily. The sword was usually stained with blood when it was sheathed. Other people's blood! After these three people walked in, they occupied a table in the innermost corner, obviously unwilling to disturb others, let alone being disturbed by others. What they want is: "Whatever." That means they neither come here for "eating" nor do they pay attention to eating. If people who don't pay attention to food are not worried, they must be thinking about other things.Whatever they were thinking, it was bound to be anything but pleasant. Lin Taiping had been looking at the sword of the man in black, and murmured: "The sword has murderous aura even before it is unsheathed." Wang Dong said: "It's not the murderous aura of the sword, but the murderous aura of people." Lin Taiping said: "Do you know who this person is?" Guo Dalu sighed, and said: "I don't know, I just know that even if I'm drunk, I will never fight with this person." Yan Qi suddenly said: "I do recognize the other two." Guo Dalu said: "But they don't recognize you." Yan Qi smiled, and said lightly: "What am I, how can someone as famous as them recognize me?" Guo Dalu said: "Are they famous?" Yan Qi said: "The thin and tall person sitting on the outermost side is called Jia stick, also known as stick." Guo Dalu said: "Stick, it does look like that. The name Jia stick is a bit special." Yan Qi said: "The stick is a kind of torture tool. No matter how tricky or slippery a thief is, once he gets on the stick, he will say whatever you want him to say. If you want him to call you your ancestor, he won't dare not call you ancestor." Guo Dalu said: "He also has this ability?" Yan Qi said: "It is said that no matter who meets him, there is no way not to tell the truth, even if it is a dead person, he still has the ability to ask for a confession." Wang Dong said: "This person's methods must be very spicy." Yan Qidao: "He also has a nickname called stick, which means 'hit anyone he sees.' No matter if Huai falls into his hands, he will inevitably have his nose blue and eyes swollen first. Friends in the underworld Meeting him is like meeting a deadly ghost, the king of Hades." Wang Dong said: "What does he do?" Yan Qi said: "A headhunter in Qinghe County." Wang Dong said: "Qinghe County is not a big place, isn't it that talented people are buried?" Yan Qi said: "Because his Yu Duan is too hot, he has been unable to get promoted. But no matter where there is a big case that cannot be handled, it is inevitable to go to Qinghe County to borrow him." Guo Dalu said: "Where's that shiny gold man?" Yan Qi said: "His surname is also Jin, and he likes gold, so he is called 'Golden Lion', but people secretly call him the Golden Retriever Poodle." Guo Dalu laughed and said, "Speaking of conscience, this man is not like a poodle at all." Yan Qi said: "Have you ever seen a poodle?" Guo Dalu said: "I have seen all kinds of dogs." Yan Qi said: "What is the biggest thing on the poodle's face?" Lin Taiping rushed to say: "The nose is the biggest." Yan Qi said: "What is the smallest thing?" Lin Taiping said: "Mouth." He smiled, and explained again: "I raised several poodles when I was a child." Yan Qi said: "Look at that man's face again." Looking from this side, you can just see the face of the "Golden Poodle". No one could look at his face without seeing his nose. His nose already occupies one-third of the entire face. Every man's mouth is wider than his nose, but his nose is wider than his mouth; if you look down from his head, you cannot see his mouth, because the mouth is covered by the nose. Guo Dalu almost laughed out loud, held back his laughter and said, "It really is an extra-large nose." Wang Dong said: "His eyes must not be very clear." Guo Dalu wondered, "How do you know?" Wang Dong said: "Because his eyes are separated by the nose in the middle, the left eye can only see what is on the left, and the right eye can only see the right." Before he finished speaking, even Yan Qi couldn't help laughing. Guo Dalu said: "But I haven't found his mouth yet." Yan Qi suppressed a smile and said, "The hole under his nose is his mouth." Guo Dalu said: "Is that the mouth? I thought it was the nostrils." Lin Taiping said: "How come there are beards growing on the nostrils?" Guo Dalu said: "I thought it was nose hair." Wang Dong said: "So when he eats, others often don't know where the food came from." Although they were trying their best to hold back their laughter, they couldn't help it now. Guo Dalu laughed so hard that he almost slipped under the table. The golden poodle suddenly turned around and glanced at them. Just glanced at it, then turned around again. This glance is enough. Everyone has already felt the menacing sharpness in his eyes, which are really a bit like the eyes of a lion, even the eyeballs are yellow. Their voices, already low, were lower now. Guo Dalu said: "What does this person do?" Yan Qi said: "It's also a head arrester. Two years ago, it was the head arrester in the capital. Recently, I heard that it has been promoted to the head arrester of the nine northern provinces." Guo Dalu said: "It looks like he is dressed like a playboy, he really doesn't look like a famous arrester." Wang Dong said: "You don't look like a pauper either." Lin Taiping said: "Where is his ability?" Yan Qi said: "On the nose." Lin Taiping said: "Nose?" Yan Qi said: "Although his nose is big, it is not too big to be useless. It is said that his nose is smarter than a dog's. As long as a person is smelled by him, no matter how he disguises himself, he will not be able to escape." Lin Taiping said: "This ability is really not small." Yan Qi said: "These two people can be said to be the top experts among the six sects, if it is not some big case, they will definitely not be alarmed, so..." Wang Dong said: "So you wonder why they came to this kind of place suddenly." Yan Qi said: "I'm indeed very surprised. If it is said that they came for the case last night, how could they get news so quickly?" At this moment, a woman's scream suddenly came from the street, as if someone had stepped on a chicken's neck. Then, they saw a woman with disheveled hair rushing out of a house opposite, and a short and fat man tried his best to pull but couldn't. Later, the woman simply lay on the ground, weeping loudly, crying, and said: "I even had my coffin stolen, why can't I say it?...I just want to say it." The more she talked, the more sad she became, so she hit her head on the ground and cried loudly: "Oh my God, you bloody robber, you are so cruel, why don't you leave some for me?...a whole three thousand taels of gold , and my jewellery, if any kind-hearted person finds it for me, I am willing to give him more than half of it." The man's face turned red for a while, then turned pale for a while, and with all his strength, he finally dragged her back, took the time to turn his head, and forced a smile: "How can we have three thousand taels of gold for others to steal?" Guo Dalu and Yan Qi exchanged glances, and they were about to ask Mai Laoguang, "Who is this person?" But the stick was faster than they asked. His voice was deep and he spoke slowly, and every word seemed to be labored.That gives the feeling that you'd better pay attention to every word he says. Mai Laoguang said: "I heard that the couple came from Kaifeng. They were originally in the cotton cloth business. They saved more than a thousand taels of silver and planned to spend the rest of their lives here saving money. If their family really has three thousand taels It's really strange that two gold pieces were stolen." He was not a talkative person, but now his mouth seemed to be oiled, and he even spoke more official Chinese than usual. Clamp is listening. He speaks slowly and listens more carefully, as if he wants to chew up every word you say before swallowing it, and once swallowed, he will never spit it out. After Mai Laoguang finished speaking, he asked again: "What's their last name?" 麦老广道：“男的姓高，女的娘家好像是姓罗。” 夹棍突然站了起来，大步走了出去。 那黑衣人从头到尾都没有说一个字，此刻忽然道：“午时到了没有？” 麦老广道：“刚过午时。” 黑衣人道：“拿来。” 金狮子迟疑着，道：“这地方不方便吧。” 黑衣人道：“方便。” 金狮子好像叹息了一声，从怀里取出锭约莫有二十两重的金子，放在桌上，轻轻的推了过去。 黑衣人收下金子，再也不说一个字。 金狮子长长吐出口气，望着窗外的天色，喃喃道：“一天过得好快。” 可是在有些人看来，这一天就好像永远也熬不过去似的。
