Chapter 20 Chapter Nineteen

——The person who bought the salt was drinking, only this bottle of rice wine was bought for himself.He took a sip, a sip, and drank slowly. When he drank, he looked like a miser when he was paying, wanting to drink but reluctant.Because he can't get drunk.Because he must take care of his friend, the salt eater who is not afraid of salt. The bottom of the well is much wider than the mouth of the well, and there is actually a bed, a bed, and a chair inside.The lights are on a few.The person who ate salt was lying on the bed, and the person who bought salt was sitting on a chair. They sat there quietly, watching Ma Rulong slide down the well wall with gecko kung fu.His hand holding the wine bottle is huge and rough, with bald nails, no doubt he has practiced kung fu like cinnabar palms.

Next to his chair was a heavy bamboo whip, which seemed to weigh at least forty or fifty catties.But he didn't deliver a fatal blow to Ma Rulong!He just said coldly: "Boss Zhang, we knew you would come sooner or later, and you really did." "You knew I would come?" Ma Rulong couldn't figure it out: "How did you know?" The man who bought the salt took another sip of his wine.what could. "If I opened a grocery store, I would feel strange if someone came to buy two catties of salt every day." He smiled coldly: "But a person who really runs a grocery store, even if it is strange, will not care about others." It's a pity that you are not."

"I'm not?" "You are by no means a grocer," said the salt buyer, "as if I would never have bought salt in a grocer." "Can you see that?" The person who bought the salt said: "You come to check my background, and I have also checked you." The person who bought the salt slowly continued: "You should be called Zhang Rongfa, and you have been running a grocery store here for eighteen years. A sick wife, honest man, you have never liked to be troublesome in your life." He suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that you are not Zhang Rongfa, absolutely not."

Ma Rulong asked again: "How do you know I'm not Zhang Rongfa?" The person who bought the salt said: "Because your nails are too clean, your hair is too neatly combed, and you take a bath every day, because I have found out that Zhang Rongfa was never a clean person before." Ma Rulong didn't refute, and couldn't refute.Undoubtedly, this person is also a great expert in the world. Before Ma Rulong found out that he was suspicious, he had already found out that this grocery store was suspicious! "If you are not Zhang Rongfa, who are you? Why do you pretend to be Zhang Rongfa? The real Zhang Rongfa, where did you go?" The salt buyer continued, "I have thought about these questions for a long time."

Ma Rulong said: "You can figure it out?" The person who bought the salt said: "I just want to understand a little bit!" Ma Rulong said: "That point?" The person who bought the salt said: "There is definitely a careful plan for this matter, and every detail has been carefully arranged. You can pretend to be Zhang Rongfa, and you can hide the truth from your old neighbor who has been going to your grocery store every day for eighteen years. Absolutely! After a very precise disguise." He spoke with certainty: "Although there are quite a few people who are proficient in disguise in Jianghu, there is absolutely only one person in the world who can do this."

This person is of course Linglong Jade Hand Yu Linglong. The person who bought the salt went on to say: "Miss Yu has not been in charge of affairs in the Jianghu for at least twenty years, and there is only one person who can let her come out of the mountain again and show her skills again." Ma Rulong said: "There is definitely only one person?" The person who bought the salt nodded and said: "There is definitely only one, except for Jiangnan Yuwu, absolutely no one else can invite her." Ma Rulong smiled wryly.He finally understood that there is absolutely no plan that is completely flawless in the world, and there is no secret that can be kept from others forever.It's a pity that he still couldn't find Qiu Fengcheng's flaws.

The person who bought the salt said again: "You have gone through such careful arrangements and painstaking efforts to pretend to be the owner of a grocery store. It can be seen that you are also a desperate person like us, and you are also avoiding other people's hunting and hunting. , the person who wants your life must be more terrifying than our opponent." He smiled and said: "Since we are both exiled people, why should I bother to pursue your secrets? You don't have to come to investigate Mine, so I still go to your store to buy things every day." Ma Rulong sighed: "I didn't want to come either."

The person who bought the salt said, "Unfortunately, you have already come." Ma Rulong asked: "Are you trying to kill me?" The person who bought the salt said: "You can ask Jiangnan Yu Wu to do this for you, of course he is a person with background, even if I want to kill you, I may not be able to succeed." He suddenly smiled again, "If you He is really the person I guessed, as long as I make a move, maybe I will die in your hands instead." Ma Rulong said: "Who is that person you guessed?" The person who bought the salt said: "Ma Rulong, the young master of Tianma Hall, Ma Rulong, the white horse boy."

Ma Rulong's heart was beating.If it wasn't for the delicate disguise on his face, others would definitely find that his face had become ugly.But he still had to ask: "How did you think I was Ma Rulong?" The man who bought the salt said, "I have a reason." His reason was that Ma Rulong was the most urgently hunted in the arena, and Ma Rulong was the only one who could help Jiangnan Yuwu.He said: "Right now, the three major families and five sects in Jianghu have come to you with rewards of 50,000 taels of gold, and there are at least fifty or sixty first-rate masters dispatched for you. Only the disciples of the Beggar Clan have always Don’t listen, don’t ask, didn’t care about it at all.”

The disciples of the Beggar Gang have the largest number of disciples, the largest territory, the most complex eyelids, and the best news.The beggar gang spends the most, 50,000 taels of gold is quite a lot.The person who bought the salt continued: "Why do they ignore this matter? Of course it's because Fifth Master Yu has something to do with you." Ma Rulong was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "You shouldn't have said these things." The man who bought the salt asked, "Is it because after I tell you, you might want to kill me to silence me? Because you might think that I also want the fifty thousand taels of gold."

Ma Rulong said: "You don't want to?" The person who bought the salt replied simply and affirmatively: "I don't want to." Ma Rulong said: "Why?" Before the salt buyer could speak, the salt eater suddenly said, "Because of me." He was eating salt all the time, the saltiest kosher salt.No one can imagine that anyone in the world can eat so much salt.He had already eaten half of the two catties of coarse salt and ten raw eggs before he could speak with a little blood on his face. He said: "In the past twenty years, there have been no fewer people than you who wanted my head. I have also tasted what it feels like to be wronged." Although he looked weak, he still had a sense of awe when he spoke Human pride: "Although fifty thousand taels of gold is a lot, I haven't seen it yet!" Ma Rulong said: "How do you know that I was also wronged?" The person who eats salt said: "Because I trust Yu Wu, if you haven't been wronged, he would be the first person to kill you!" Ma Rulong said: "Who are you?" The person who eats salt said: "I am also like you, a person who has been wronged, a person who has a reward on his head, and a person who has to hide like a wild dog and dare not see people, because we don't want to die, even if we want to die , I have to wait until my grievances are cleared before I die." He also smiled, with a tragic and desolate smile: "As for my name, you'd better not ask." Ma Rulong looked at him for a long time, then at the salt buyer, and suddenly said, "I believe you will never betray me." The man who ate salt said, "I believe in you too." He stretched out his hand.His hand was like his friend's, rough and huge, as cold as a piece of ice.But when Ma Rulong held his hand, there was a sudden warmth in his heart. The salt eater smiled again and said, "Go, I won't stop you." Ma Rulong said: "If you come to buy salt again, I will never ask again." The man who eats salt looked at him for a long time, and suddenly heaved a long sigh: "It's a pity that we didn't meet each other so late, I was seriously injured, and I can no longer help you clear your grievances, otherwise I must make you my friend. " Ma Rulong said: "Now you can still make friends with me. To make friends, you don't have to make friends with people who can use each other." The salt eater suddenly laughed.His laughter was hoarse and short, he couldn't laugh anymore, but he was still full of pride!He said: "Whether you are Ma Rulong or not, no matter who you are, I have made you my friend!" Ma Rulong held his hand tightly. "I don't care who you are, I also made you a friend." It was not yet dawn, and the spring was cold.Ma Rulong's heart was burning hot, and his whole body was burning hot.Because he made a friend.I made a friend who didn't know the origin and didn't ask about the consequences, but who was utterly devoted. "You made him a friend!" Xie Yubao was still waiting for him. The first thing she asked was this sentence: "You don't even know who he is, so you made friends with him?" Ma Rulong said: "Even if everyone in the world regards him as an enemy and wants to dismember him, I'm still willing to make him a friend!" Xie Yubao said, "Why?" Ma Rulong said: "No reason." No reason!These four words are the true meaning of making friends.If you make friends "for what", what kind of friends can you make?What kind of friend are you? Dawn had already appeared outside the window, Ma Rulong was sitting under the window, Xie Yubao looked at him with sideways head, after a long time, he sighed softly and said: "I understand what you mean, but I can't do it." For young girls, few people can understand this kind of sentiment. Xie Yubao suddenly asked: "Do you know why your friend eats salt?" Ma Rulong didn't know, he didn't ask at all. "I know." Xie Yubao said: "He must have fallen into the hand of Sanyang Juhu!" "Sanyang's best hand?" Ma Rulong is a son of a martial arts family, but he has never heard of this name. "This kind of palm power has been handed down for a long time. People who have been hit by this kind of palm power will not only be dehydrated, their skin will be dry and cracked, and their sense of taste will be lost. They only want to eat salt. The more salt they eat and the more water they drink, the more serious their injuries will be. , when he died, the skin all over his body was dry and cracked, as if he had been roasted alive." She thought for a while, and then said: "Eating raw eggs is better than drinking water, but at most it can only last for one and a half months, and finally died without help." "Absolutely hopeless?" Xie Yubao didn't answer this question, but asked again: "What kind of person is that friend of yours? What does he look like?" "I thought, he must have been a very tall and burly person, his shoulders were at least half wider than ordinary people, and he had big hands and feet, so he must have practiced his palms very well." Ma Rulong said: "Right now, although he is seriously injured and dying, he still has an intimidating arrogance in his words and deeds." Xie Yubao's eyes seemed to suddenly light up. "I've already thought it might be him." "who is it?" "This kind of palm strength is far more domineering than the Cui family's Sanyang Juehu hand of the Yin family, and it is also more difficult to practice. It must be practiced by people who are not close to women." How many people in the world are there who have never been close to women in their lives? Xie Yubao said: "As far as I know, there is only one person willing to practice this kind of palm strength in the past fifty years." Ma Rulong immediately asked, "Who?" "Master Jue!" Xie Yubao said: "Although Master Jue is heartless and desperate to kill him, he never makes a move easily, let alone use this kind of secret martial arts! Unless his opponent's palm strength is also extremely terrifying, forcing him It’s impossible to use this kind of kung fu.” Most of the masters in the rivers and lakes have a kind of hidden martial arts stunt, and they will never let others see it unless they have to. Xie Yubao said: "If he hadn't been forced to have no other choice, Master Jue would never use the hand of Sanyang Juehu." She asked Ma Rulong again: "How many people can drive Master Jue to such a miserable state?" "Not many." "Have you ever heard of 'Tie Zhentian'?" Xie Yubao asked, "Can he be one of them?" Ma Rulong knew that his face must have changed.Of course he had heard the name before, "Turn the world upside down" Tie Zhentian.He has been rampant in Jiangdong for twenty years, killing people like nothing, and accumulating cases like a mountain. I don't know how many people want his head on his neck.It's a pity that not only his whereabouts are erratic, others can't find him at all, but also his martial arts are extremely high, and his hands are ruthless. Those who can find him are all shaken away by his pair of iron palms. Xie Yubao asked again: "Do you think your friend is Tie Zhentian?" Ma Rulong refused to answer.That person was undoubtedly Tie Zhentian. "In the past twenty years, there have been no fewer people than you who wanted my head. I haven't even considered 50,000 taels of gold." Except for Tie Zhentian, who else could say such a thing.But he has another sentence: "I have also tasted what it feels like to be wronged." Ma Rulong suddenly said loudly: "No matter what he did before, I think he must have his own reasons, and he has been forced to nowhere by those self-proclaimed chivalrous people." Xie Yubao said: "Master Jue still wronged good people?" Ma Rulong sneered: "Tie Zhentian is definitely not the only one who was wronged by him." Xie Yubao sighed: "You are really a good friend, it's great to have a friend like you, but it's a pity that you two good friends don't last long." Ma Rulong said: "Is he really hopeless?" Xie Yubao said lightly: "If I were the eldest lady of the Xie family, maybe I could save him." She sighed deliberately again: "It's a pity, now I'm just a proprietress of a grocery store, and I can't even cure my own illness, so how can I save others?" Ma Rulong didn't speak anymore. He understood what Xie Yubao meant, if he was willing to tell the truth about this matter, she might really have a way to save Tie Zhentian. But if he does this, he will feel sorry for Da Wan and Yu Wu. They are also his friends. Xie Yubao turned over and stopped looking at him: "You are tired, go to sleep!" Ma Rulong didn't sleep, he knew he would not be able to sleep. Xie Yubao didn't know if he really wanted to sleep, or he was pretending to be asleep on purpose, so he didn't mention this matter anymore. The color of fish maw had just appeared outside the window, and no human voice could be heard. Ma Rulong pushed open the door quietly and walked out slowly.
