Faraway Wanderers

Zhou Zishu thought that his movements were already very light, but who knew that the people in the room seemed to have already noticed it, and they raised their heads so loudly that they met his eyes.

Zhou Zishu was stunned for a moment, and seeing the man smiled at him, he was too petty, turned over and got down from the roof, knocked lightly on the window, and said loudly: "The uninvited guest came uninvited, the master forgive me."

The window was pushed open from the inside, and a man in plain clothes stood inside, holding a cup of tea in his hand, his eyes lingered on Zhou Zishu's face, then he glanced at Wen Kexing, smiled, and asked softly: "If you two want to watch together, you can knock on the door and come in. Why are you so sneaky?"

His voice seemed to be false, very soft, as if he was afraid that something would be disturbed by his loud voice, he was refined, with single eyelids and a stingy nose, but he was also very dog-like. It can't be seen that he is actually the leader of the scorpion who lacks eight lifetimes of great virtue.

Zhou Zishu naturally had a thick skin. Hearing the words, he didn't feel cramped at all, and said generously, "Thank you for your kindness—that's unnecessary. To be honest, we came here to ask for something."

The big scorpion glanced at him, and pondered: "There are probably only two things that come to me, either to let my children kill and set fire, or to ask, who made my children go Murder and arson, with the skills of the two of you, I'm afraid it's the second type, right?"

Zhou Zishu said calmly, "Not bad."

Scorpion put the teacup aside, folded his hands on his chest, and looked at him playfully: "Then what can you give me?"

Zhou Zishu said boldly, "Just mention it."

Scorpion saw that he was very bold, with a rich and confident look on his face, so he gave a slight smirk—generally speaking, people like this are either too arrogant, thinking that there is nothing they can't do by themselves Things, things that you can't get, or... just make up your mind and decide to renege on the debt.

Let you ask for the price, I will never sit still and pay back the money, just don't give the money.

Scorpion said slowly: "Could it be possible to ask you to sleep with me overnight, and you agree?"

Zhou Zishu looked critically at his face, looked around his waist, legs and buttocks, and then reluctantly agreed: "Okay."

Wen Kexing, who was listening with relish, immediately protested: "No! We have been sharing the same bed for so long, and I have never seen you promise so happily!"

Zhou Zishu rolled his eyelids at him, and asked back, "What do I want to ask, do you know the answer?"

Wen Kexing choked.

But Scorpion laughed, licked his lips, turned his eyes fiercely between the two, then took out a small jar from his bosom, shook it twice, poured out two dice from it, held it in his palm, and said softly : "How about this, you bet with me, win me a game, I will tell you something, lose me a game..."

Wen Kexing whispered to Zhou Zishu: "I finally understand why he is so anxious to make money. With this hobby, no amount of family fortune is enough for him to lose. You haven't heard of the phrase 'focus on making money, eyes are red , the three meals are tasteless, the limbs are weak, the five karmas are ruined, the six relatives are not recognized, the seven orifices produce smoke, and the eight parties borrow money...'”

Zhou Zishu stepped on him.

Scorpion chuckled lightly and said: "It makes sense for you to say that, but isn't a person's life a big gamble, many people want to kill me, if I die, they will win, if I don't die, they will feel anxious at any time." Uneasy, I don't know when the urging will come. You said, if a life is smooth and smooth, wouldn't it be too boring?"

Zhou Zishu interrupted the in-depth discussion about life between the two young people, and asked, "So what if you lose a game?"

Scorpion squinted at him, and said slowly: "Don't worry, I don't want your money, nor your life, if you lose a game, you two will play a game for me, and I will feel refreshed after seeing it." ——It’s just that the two of you weighed it up, you lost too much, but it’s not easy to end.”

Without further ado, Zhou Zishu said firmly, "There will be a period later."

At the same time, Wen Kexing exclaimed, "I think it's a good bet!"

Zhou Zishu pretended not to know him, and walked out indifferently. Scorpion said behind him: "That's scary, just now you asked me to make a price casually."

Zhou Zishu didn't stop on his feet, and he just said casually: "I'm already a man of my age, so the aggressive method is fine."

Wen Kexing laughed at the side and said, "That...Brother Xiezi, please forgive me, my family is fine with everything else, except that her face is tender and her skin is too thin..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhou Zishu turned back blankly and said to Xie Zi, "Say, what are you betting on?"

Sometimes, whether the aggressive method works or not depends on who uses it.

Just as Xiezi raised the small dice cup in his hand, Zhou Zishu sneered and said, "It's just a trick, I'm afraid we won't be able to tell the winner even if we play it all night."

Scorpion frowned, thought for a while, turned and walked into the house, Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu jumped in from the window.Seeing that the scorpion dug out a pack of tiny needles as thin as a cow's hair, Zhou Zishu frowned—he had touched the thing.

The scorpion picked up a small needle, licked it lightly with the tip of his tongue, and said, "This one hasn't had time to quench the poison, why don't we make a bet and see who eats more, okay?"

Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing looked at each other, and at that moment, they had a good understanding, thinking at the same time - why isn't Ye Baiyi here?

The scorpion narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth to bite. The needle was bitten into sections by him like noodles, and then he swallowed the needle just like that. Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing looked at each other. Unexpectedly, the big scorpion He was actually a man with iron teeth and copper teeth.

Scorpion smiled and asked, "Are you two gambling, or undressing?"

Wen Kexing seemed to want to choose the latter very much. Zhou Zishu suddenly picked up a wine glass from the table, opened his own wine pot, filled the glass, stretched out his hand and pinched two needles, and pinched them on his fingertips. The little needle turned into a pile of powder, and melted into the wine in a blink of an eye. He raised his head and glanced at the scorpion. The scorpion was quite graceful, and raised his hand to ask him to invite him first. Zhou Zishu frowned and drank the wine in the glass , Brightening the bottom of the glass, Wen Kexing watched his face coldly, thinking that the taste of the wine would probably not be better than the one with walnuts in it.

Xie Zi smiled and said: "Brother, don't blame me for not reminding you, you eat with wine like this, it takes up more space in your stomach than me dry food, do you two want to deal with me together?"

Wen Kexing hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I don't have the taste and the teeth, so you can do what you want."

Zhou Zishu suddenly smiled and said, "I ate two, and you ate one. I think it's enough to win you."

Before he could finish his sentence, he made a cheap move, slapped the table with his palm, and those hairy needles flew up in all directions, with a cold light, Scorpion only felt a strong force coming, he subconsciously let out a low cry, and bent over He flashed past, then looked back, and saw that all the needles on the table were nailed to the wall by rubbing against his body, they were several inches deep, and he couldn't get them out again.

Wen Kexing couldn't help but yelled "Hello", and said in his heart that Ah Xu's move was really shameless, it looked like his own style, and he deserved to be singing and singing.

Scorpion frowned, then slowly opened it again, and asked calmly, "What's your name, Xiongtai?"

Zhou Zishu said: "Must your surname be Zhou."

Scorpion nodded: "Brother Zhou is very skillful and thoughtful, but..."

He stretched out his palm, laying a thin needle flat on the palm, handed it to his mouth, and said with a smile: "This time, I'm afraid it's a tie."

Zhou Zishu stretched out his palm unhurriedly, and saw that he had secretly hidden a needle in his palm at some point. He didn't want to eat it, but just sent the needle to the scorpion for comparison—— Scorpion's face changed immediately, and only then did he realize that the root in his hand was actually a short piece, and he cut off half of it with his palm force at some point.

Zhou Zishu crushed the fine needles in his hand into fine powder, and said with a smile, "Two are against one and a half, what should I say?"

The scorpion stared at him fiercely, both Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu thought he was going to make trouble, but who knew that the big scorpion's personality was not very good, and his gambling skills were not bad. After a moment, he turned his eyes indifferently and said, "Okay, I hope Bet to admit defeat, what do you want to ask?"

Zhou Zishu said: "Except for Sun Ding, who paid for Zhang Chengling's life?"

Xiezi paused, looked at the two of them again, seemed to understand something, and said, "Zhang Chengling? Oh, I know who you two are... It's just that my people lost track of you in Dongting. Already found this place, it's amazing—come with me."

While speaking, he lifted the bed board and got in, followed by Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing.

The two of them followed the scorpion all the way into a secret passage - this place, outside is rouge and powder, but inside is eerie and very strange.Scorpion led the two of them around all the way, I don't know how many steps they went down, and finally reached the end. Zhou Zishu and the two looked at it, and saw that this place was a dungeon, and there was a depressing voice, which seemed human but not human. The roar sounded everywhere, and the two couldn't help being on guard.

Scorpion took down the torch on the wall, stood still in front of a cage, and said with a half-smile: "You two can come and see this thing, we must be old acquaintances."

While he was speaking, he might have been stimulated by the light, a pale shadow rushed towards the scorpion, and was blocked by the cell door, baring his teeth and claws at them with a ferocious face.Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing saw clearly that there was a monster locked inside, which was exactly the same as the human-like monster they encountered in the mysterious crypt back then!

I saw the scorpion looking at the monster tenderly, as if it was a peerless beauty, and said softly: "These are our medicine people. They were human before their first birthday, but they have been fed with medicine since their first birthday. Raised until now, he was born with copper skin and iron bones, with a murderous look, he is really a very good child...but he is not very obedient, maybe the medicine he used hurt his brain, and he will improve it in the future."

The playfulness on Wen Kexing's face disappeared, and he asked in a deep voice, "The crypt was arranged by you, and the buyer is a long-tongued ghost?"

Scorpion said: "Not bad."

Wen Kexing cut him off and said, "Fart, I have killed the long-tongued ghost, and who is the one who chased and killed Zhang Chengling in Dongting?"

A sly smile appeared on Scorpion's face, and he said: "I only said that the buyer is a gossip, but I didn't say that, and there is no one behind him."

Zhou Zishu said: "Ah, this is another question. You mean, if you want to know the answer, you have to gamble again?"

Scorpion bowed slightly, and said, "Brother Zhou, forgive me."

Zhou Zishu flicked his sleeves impatiently: "Say, what are you betting on?"

Scorpion laughed and said, "I'm not as smart as Brother Zhou and I'm not as clever as Brother Zhou when I bet on those little things. I'm afraid I'm going to lose again. Why don't we just let fate go up from here and go out to the street, one of you two Blindfolded, how about counting the stone lions at the intersection with your hands, and see if the No. 20 people passing by are male or female?"

Wen Kexing couldn't help but said: "This gamble is very meaningless, I don't see any benefit to you."

Scorpion said calmly: "It doesn't matter what you gamble on. To me, the word gamble is important. It's like others need to eat when they're hungry, and drink water when they're thirsty. If you don't let me gamble, I can't live... What do you say?" Woolen cloth?"

Wen Kexing sighed, only felt that strange things happen every year, and this year there are really many, so he pointed at Zhou Zishu and said, "Blindfold him, so that he won't think I have evil intentions."

Zhou Zishu glanced at the scorpion, but there was no objection. Wen Kexing groped from his arms for a long time, took out a sweat towel, covered Zhou Zishu's eyes, grabbed his arm, and said to the scorpion: "Please first .”

The three of them got to the ground again like this, and all the way to the entrance of Huajie Alley in this hide-and-seek style, Xiezi said: "Brother Zhou, you can meet the lion by raising your hand, guests first, please place your bets. "

Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing said in unison: "A man."

Although there are wandering warblers here, the number of pleasure-seekers is even greater. Since the big scorpion is generous, the two of them are not disrespectful. An inexplicable excitement flashed on the scorpion's face, and his eyes lit up. He licked his lips impatiently: "Okay."

The moment Zhou Zishu raised his hand, Scorpion began to count people—eighteen, nineteen...

Even Wen Kexing made him a little nervous. Zhou Zishu had already taken off the blindfold on his eyes and watched without blinking. No. 20 people passed by. He was wearing a long robe and had long hair. Crown man!

A smile slowly appeared on Zhou Zishu's face, and he was about to speak, but as the man approached, his smile froze on his face, but Xiezi glanced at the two of them contentedly, and suddenly took a step forward He stopped the passers-by, startled the passers-by, and only heard him say in a soft voice: "This is the place of fireworks, it's inconvenient for the young lady to go in, the reputation of the young lady's house is important, please go back."

That "man"'s delicate and fair face turned bright purple and red, Scorpion said "offend", and suddenly tore off the silk scarf around "his" neck like lightning, and the passer-by screamed shortly—"He "The throat is actually very smooth, with no bulge visible.

Scorpion turned around with a smile, put his hands into his sleeves, and said to Zhou Zishu slowly: "Brother Zhou, what do you say?"
