Chapter 1437 Repaying Virtue with Evil
After passing through the alley, his eyes suddenly opened up. A street appeared in front of Fatty Jiangcheng, and the liveliness was comparable to the previous street.
The fat man was stunned for a moment, no, no, this street is the same street just now, "What happened? Why...why are you back again?"
Jiang Cheng half-turned around and looked behind him. , I saw that the alley behind me had long since disappeared, but was replaced by a solid blue brick wall.
A large signboard hangs near the brick wall, with the words Tianfuzhai Tea House written on it, with white characters on a black background and a dragon-snake style of writing. It looks quite impressive.
"It's not that we are back, but that we have always been here."
After saying this, Jiang Cheng went straight to the teahouse. Several beggars in ragged clothes were squatting in front of the teahouse to bask in the sun. When they saw someone approaching, they immediately He picked up the broken bowl in his hand, grinned, revealing his yellow teeth, and the wrinkles on his face were all gathered together, "Master, please do a good job, I haven't eaten in several days."
Nope. nonsense , Jiang Cheng took out a small piece of broken silver from his arms and threw it into the beggar's broken bowl with a clang. "Let me ask you, have you been here just now?"
The beggar stared at the bowl. His eyes were straightened, and he nodded frantically for a long time, "Yes, that's right, sir, the young ones have always been here."
"Then have you noticed me?"
The leader of the beggars dug out some silver and carefully stuffed it into his clothes. Then he smiled and said auspicious words, "Of course I noticed you, old man. Your good fortune shines brightly. I noticed you even though you were so far away. You are so graceful." Pianpian shows talent and is radiant Damn it, I’m afraid there won’t be a few handsome men in Luo’an City who are more outstanding than you. If you go to Yanliu Alley in the south of the city, the oirans will have to pay a lot of money to accompany you.”
The beggar thought that his words were perfect, but when he saw The young man's face suddenly turned cold, "Tell me something! What did you see me like just now?"
"You...you and your fat boy walked across the street. Come here, and then somehow the two of you stopped moving and stood there for a while. Finally, I don’t know what kind of disease that fat boy has, but he dares to pull you.”
“As a domestic slave, you can’t get used to this problem.” Another beggar had a flattering look. He said that he seemed to be hoping to get some benefits from Jiang Cheng.
There were noisy voices along the street. Everything looked the same as before, but Jiang Cheng knew clearly that the street he experienced just now definitely did not belong to this world, and facing the scene just now, he actually felt to a familiarity.
It was that strange sense of familiarity that reminded him that he was able to realize in a short time that he had stepped into a trap, and he also found the source of the familiarity, which was the street where Yamamoto's ancestors were on their mission.
The scene just now was like pulling him back into his memories and experiencing it all over again, but the risk was even greater. If Fatty hadn't pulled him out at the last moment, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Tianfuzhai Teahouse is famous throughout Loan City, especially the frozen top oolong tea brewed with the morning dew, which is the best tea. Now in the private room on the third floor of the teahouse facing the street, it is There were two tea drinkers sitting by the window, mist rising from the fragrant tea in their hands, and the tea leaves swirling in the bright tea soup.
“Failed?” Looking at the retreating figure of Fatty Jiangcheng, Lu Qin’s face showed no expression.
Shao Tong, who was sitting opposite her, was much miserable. Cold sweat covered his forehead. His whole body was trembling slightly due to lack of strength. He was so weak that he could hardly lift a teacup. "He was beaten at the last moment. Broken.”
"It's a pity, it was just a little bit close." Lu Qin took a sip of tea, put the tea bowl back on the table, and looked at Shaotong calmly.
Shaotong felt uncomfortable looking at her and couldn't help but shake his head: "Don't think too much, it's not a little bit worse, it's a lot worse. It seems like it was interrupted at the last moment, but in fact Jiang Cheng was very early. I found something was wrong. I read part of his memory, and there was something wrong in his memory. There is such a disaster, I just visualized this disaster."
"I told you before, this is too hasty, and the probability of success is very slim." Shaotong seemed unwilling to accept it. He defended himself again, "They have guessed that something is being modified. Their memories are evidenced by the paper in Jiang Cheng's arms, and I think they have probably locked onto us."
"The fact that they can suspect us, not the ghosts in the mission, is enough to show their strength. The degree of difficulty, now we can say that it is the target of public criticism "
"You don't need to lecture me, you just need to follow the command, but..." Lu Qin leaned forward, her fat face close to Shaotong, staring closely at him. Eyes, "Have you really tried your best? Or...are you perfunctory with me?"
Shaotong was shocked when he heard this. He immediately raised three fingers and swore to the sky: "Oh my god, doctor, please listen to what you are saying? You treat me like a second parent, and you promised me to heal me." How could I not try my best to repay kindness with evil? "
" Clean up, let's go." Lu Qin stood up and walked out.
Shaotong drank the hot tea in one gulp and followed him hurriedly.
After working hard all day, when we returned to the Hou Mansion, it was already dark. Everyone was sharing today’s harvest. After all, tonight and tomorrow night are the highlights, so everyone was relatively well prepared.
Li Bai used his expertise and went to the pharmacy to prepare many kinds of herbs, most of which were used to stop bleeding and analgesia, and some were used for detoxification. At this time, he divided them into small packages and placed them on the table. superior.
Tang Qisheng seemed to have thought of something. He leaned over and sniffed gently, then reached out to take out a packet of medicinal powder and opened it. He couldn't help but nodded his head the next second, "It's amazing. I didn't expect Miss Li Bai to have such knowledge. She even removed the corpse." We can find prescriptions for poisons."
"The prescriptions are all dead, but I didn't expect that such a border city could have so many medicinal materials. It seems that we are pretty lucky," Li Bai replied.
Yao and Shunyu brought back a book, which was full of local customs and customs. The most important thing was that there was a incomplete map in it. Yao and Shunyu carefully spread out the map and pointed to one of the places. Position said: "This is Spring God Lake." Then he moved his finger to another place, "This is probably where we are." Today’s location is Zhennan Hou Mansion.”
From the map, the distance between the two places is not close, dozens of miles, and they are all rugged and difficult mountain roads, but what really surprised everyone was What's more, Chunshen Lake occupies a very high proportion on the map, almost as big as two Luo'an cities. At first glance, it looks more like a sea.
There are three points marked near the center of Spring God Lake. The three points are connected with each other by dotted lines to form an irregular triangle. (End of chapter)
