When the two blind old ladies left, Lao Jiang finally got angry. He pulled out half of the black knife with a clang: "To this day, this is the first time in my life that I heard someone call me an old brat!"
I couldn't help but snicker at the side, but Lao Jiang said to me angrily: "Don't forget, people still call you brat."
I didn't take this to heart, after all, I was just a bad student, but who was Lao Jiang?
Who would have thought that the most powerful black sword Qilin in the world would end up like an old boy.
After we carefully returned to the public house, the big tiger's snoring was loud. No wonder people were not wary of us. It turned out that this guy was covering up.
Thinking of this, I hugged Dahu in my arms, and Lao Jiang reminded me to think carefully about how to deal with those difficult guys tomorrow.
"The soldiers will come to block the water and the earth will cover it up. It's useless to think about it now."
I said this, but what I was thinking in my heart was that I would kill the old boy first anyway, so of course it would be up to Old Jiang to take the trouble to deal with it.
After that, I hugged the cat and fell into a sweet sleep.
Early the next morning, the blind old woman knocked on the door on time and asked us to drink some porridge and water to cushion our stomachs, and then treat us well at noon.
We smiled and agreed, but we knew in our hearts that this was a Hongmen Banquet!
This group of people no longer want to continue acting, and today is the time to see them.
Before going to the Hongmen Banquet, Lao Jiang specially took out a pill and asked me to take it, saying that it could detoxify me and prevent the other party from doing anything evil.
Lao Jiang also put on a pair of high boots and hid the black knife inside.
This time, the food and drinks were placed on the bluestone street. It was an open-air banquet, including smoked meat, white fish soup, crispy grilled fish, stir-fried beef, etc. This made me wonder if they were eating food from every household. All were looted.
Even if it’s the Chinese New Year, no one in Lei Town would be willing to eat these dishes together.
The blind mother-in-law poured wine for us, saying it was aged wine from the bottom of the box, and poured a large bowl for Lao Jiang and me.
Xiaopang kept trying to persuade us, saying that we haven’t seen each other for so many years, so we should drink more!
I drank it all in one gulp and said with a hint of melancholy: "It's a pity that I didn't see Erdan and Gousanzi. We used to have a great time."
Xiaopang laughed: "You have only been back for a few days, why are you in a hurry? You will be able to meet them soon."
I don’t know why this wine makes me feel dizzy after drinking it.
I suddenly had an idea and deliberately asked Xiaopang: "By the way, do you still remember that when we were young, we stole the strange copper box from the mayor's house and were beaten half to death by our parents? Alas! We just didn't know what was hidden in the box. ”
I deliberately pretended to be sentimental, took off my gold-rimmed glasses, and wiped my tears.
But Xiaopang's expression was extremely excited: "Copper box?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, it's that square shape with a monster's box carved on the west side."
Xiaopang couldn't hold it in any longer and grabbed my hand: "Then do you still remember where the mayor put the box?"
I first said I didn't remember, but after I caught the murderous intent in the eyes of the blind old woman next to me, I immediately changed my words and said, "Haha, I lied to you, I still remember that place fresh."
"But Fatty, didn't you steal the box with me? Why now... Ouch, why does my head hurt so much? Hey, Fatty, why do you have two heads and two noses..."
I pointed at Xiaopang, tilted his head, and fell on the table.
Lao Jiang was the same, pretending to be too drunk, talking nonsense and then falling silent.
After I fainted, Xiaopang shook my body and shouted: Master Jinglan, Master Jinglan? Li Jinglan!
Seeing that I didn't respond, he stood up and sighed: "Who gave me so much medicine? Really, I almost found out where the thing was hidden from him... But he said it was at the mayor's house." , We searched the house three times and couldn't find it. I really don't know what the mechanism is. "
The blind old woman sneered: "Since the little boy has seen the box left by Wen Tao, it means our trip was not in vain. I don't believe this box can fly out?"
There was a thump in my heart, but I didn't expect that this little test actually confirmed that they were really here for the secrets left by their ancestors.
It's just that the box was not in Lei Town, but in Xiushui Village!
Fatty and others tied me and Lao Jiang up with hemp ropes. The blind mother-in-law originally wanted to search our bodies, but Fatty said disdainfully: "These two brats are so stupid, there's no need!"
In their eyes, we were just two foreign devils who were easy to fool, and we couldn't make much trouble at all.
Lao Jiang and I pretended to be unconscious and were moved to a place.
The place was stinky, with the smell of feces and urine everywhere. It reminded me of a large shed in Lei Town dedicated to raising cattle, sheep and livestock.
The blind mother-in-law thought the place smelled bad, so she handed me and Lao Jiang over to Xiaopang and left.
Xiaopang and his parents threw us into a simple cell. He picked up a basin of cold water and poured it on us. Lao Jiang and I were so cold that we were all drunk.
It turned out that the entire greenhouse had been transformed into a prison cell. There were chaotic sounds, shouts, and figures next door. They must have held other residents of Lei Town.
I woke up in a daze, rubbed my eyes and asked, "Where is this place? Why are you standing here, little fat guy?"
Xiaopang sneered again and again: "You have already fallen into the tiger's mouth, why are you still so stupid? You have made your brain stupid by learning English."
I still wanted to pretend that I didn't understand, but Lao Jiang quickly got into the act and said pitifully: "Young Master, you have mistaken the bad guy for your brother. I just said there is something wrong with this town."
"Old man, don't interrupt!"
The fake chubby guy immediately kicked Lao Jiang, grabbed me by the collar and asked me about the whereabouts of the copper box.
I said I didn't know, and the fake chubby guy immediately winked at the two accomplices behind him.
"Hmph, it doesn't matter if you don't know. You will beg to tell us later."
One of the two men was patrolling back and forth with a whip, and the other was sitting there peeling bamboo sticks with a knife.
The fake chubby boy didn't forget to explain that later they would first beat the old ginger's skin to open the flesh, and then use slender bamboo sticks to drive into the old ginger's fingernails one by one, so that he could experience what it means: ten fingers connected to the heart!
My scalp went numb for a while, but just when the other party was about to take action, a blade suddenly slipped out of Lao Jiang's sleeve. He held the blade with two fingers and cut the hemp rope cleanly.
"not good!"
The guy with the whip realized something was wrong and whipped him with a whip.
Lao Jiang smiled and pulled out the black knife from his boots. He saw a flash of white light in the dim environment, and the guy covered his neck and fell down bleeding.
All this happened in a flash of lightning. When the fake fat man tried to escape, another of his accomplices also had his throat cut.
Lao Jiang picked him up in three steps and threw him in front of me.
Then with a flash of light, the hemp rope on my body was cut.
The fake fat man collapsed on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. He was about to ask who Lao Jiang was, but his eyes fell on the black knife that Lao Jiang had withdrawn.
"You, you are actually the Black Blade Qilin?"
Lao Jiang smiled and acquiesced.
The fake chubby knelt on the ground, not daring to move at all. At this time, he was completely shocked by Lao Jiang's powerful aura, and he no longer dared to play any tricks.
"Things were all done by those people outside. I'm just a small character. I beg you to spare my life!"
The fake chubby boy raised his head tremblingly.
Lao Jiang smiled and played with the black knife in his hand: "I'm not an adult, I'm just the old boy you call me."
Lao Jiang's appearance scared the fake chubby boy to the point of peeing.
There is a saying that goes, eat the bones and sleep on the skin, and then smile. Lao Jiang's appearance of smiling but not smiling is really scary.
Just when Fake Fat's mental defense was completely broken, Lao Jiang finally spoke: "Tell me, who are you? What is the purpose of coming to Lei Town? Where have you taken all the people in Lei Town?"
"If you miss one question, I will cut off your left ear. If you miss two questions, I will cut off your right ear. If you fail to answer three questions, I will kill you!"
After finishing speaking, Lao Jiang pointed to the two corpses on the ground and said: "They have just cooled down. You die quickly, and we can be companions on the road to hell!"
