Dragon Fate of Shan Hai Ji

More than ten years ago, for some reason, she fell in love with a merchant who came to sell cloth from out of town.As a result, the man left and never came back, and she went crazy after waiting and waiting.

Le Yue sighed deeply.

Lin Qing said angrily: "That man is really not a good guy, since you don't plan to marry her, don't lie to her in the first place!"

None of the males present expressed their opinions, and the proprietress said: "But Yuqiao is good at fortune-telling, the mother in the building is her own mother, otherwise she will become crazy like this, and she may be killed early in the morning..."

Lin Qing snorted, "I don't know where that heartbroken man is now, and whether he has been punished."

Du Ruyuan coughed, and said quietly, "Miss, restrain yourself."

The noodle stall owner smiled and said to Le Yue: "Brother, you are lucky, this time you ran into her like this, she still has a crazy way, it's really troublesome to bump into her."

Le Yue was taken aback, wasn't that scary enough just now?Half an hour later, Ying Ze finally put down the empty bowl and wiped his mouth with his sleeve. Du Ruyuan took out his money bag with a sad face, and the noodle stall owner watched them leave with a smile on his face.

Just two steps away, there was a sudden noise behind her, and it came from Niang'er Mei's direction again. Le Yue subconsciously turned her head and was shocked.

With a touch of familiar peach red, he rushed towards him with a kitchen knife, and when he looked at him with hatred, it was clearly him.

"Li Ting, you heartless man, I'm going to kill you—!"

There was a sudden pause in Le Yue's dodging footsteps, and Yuqiao's kitchen knife rushed in front of him with lightning speed.

He raised his hand, dropped the knife, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Luo Lingzhi said indifferently: "Ma'am, I'm sorry," pushing her fingers a little further towards Yuqiao's stamina, Yuqiao closed her eyes and fell backwards, just in time to be caught by the panting big man who rushed over.

The big man bowed down and apologized to them for a long time before dragging the unconscious Yuqiao away.

Zhao Yuan tugged on Le Yue's sleeve, and Lin Qing said in a small voice, "Maybe...the same name and surname may not necessarily be the same. The name Li Ting is very common in the mortal world."

Le Yue nodded thoughtfully: "Anyway, go to the inn first."

The starry night has just arrived, and when the willows are on the moon, the lanterns are hung high in front of Niang'ermei's door, and the sweet voice flows out.

Le Yue, Luo Lingzhi, and Sun Ben stepped over the gate of the hall. When the ghost slave saw the three of them clearly, he thumped in his heart, and ran to report to Mama Zhou, the bustard: "It's not good, the person who was cut by Yuqiao during the day Came to collect debts. "Mother Zhou's heart suddenly turned cold, and just as she was about to think about countermeasures, another ghost slave ran over quickly and said: "Mom, the little brother who was hacked by Yuqiao and the other two came with knives in their waists. The last name said to see you. "Mother Zhou was stunned, subconsciously looking for a place to hide. The ghost slave said: "Mom, you can hide from the first day of the junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day. I see those people, especially the oldest one inside, who is full of evil spirits. , They came tonight, but they didn't see anyone, and they definitely wouldn't give up.It's better to say a few soft words, test their tone, and stabilize them first. "Mother Zhou's face turned yellow and then pale. She gritted her teeth, forced a smile on her face, and waved her handkerchief to welcome her out. In the hall, there were three people standing prominently in the center. The son laughed wantonly, and the most handsome one stood aside coldly and defiantly. The younger brother who was cut by Yuqiao with a knife stood in the middle, his brows were frowned, and his expression was gloomy. Walking forward with slightly trembling legs, he squeezed his smiling face a little more attentively, and before he opened his mouth enthusiastically, the little brother in the middle said with a sullen face: "This mother, I have something to ask. "

Zhou's mother's eyes quickly circled the swords hanging on the waists of the three of them, and said with a stiff smile: "Young master is too polite, if you have any orders, just say it."

The little brother's frown was slightly relaxed: "I want to ask my mother about someone."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou's mother breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately, her heart stopped panicking, her legs stopped trembling, and her smiling face became more attentive several times: "Oh, it's easy to say, which one do you want to ask, sir? I must know everything. There are endless words."

But the little brother looked around and said: "Mom, there are noisy people here, can you talk in a quieter place?"

Zhou's mother quickly nodded in agreement, led him to the private room on the second floor, and then repeatedly instructed Gui Nu to prepare fragrant tea.

Sun Ben lazily said to Le Yue: "Brother Yue, I won't go up with you." He took a sip from the wine cup held by one sister, and sat down at the table with the other in his arms.

Luo Lingzhi and Le Yue followed Mother Zhou to the private room on the second floor, but they didn't go in together, they closed the door gently, and stood against the wall outside the door.

Le Yue and Zhou's mother sat down at the round table in the room, and Le Yue cut to the chase: "This mother, the person I want to ask you is Li Ting."

Mother Zhou's complexion changed dramatically.

Le Yue continued: "That's right, my grandfather has a good friend named Li Ting. This person went out to other places to run a business more than ten years ago, and he has never returned since then. My grandfather has been looking for his whereabouts. Today Suddenly I heard that the businessman I met with Miss Yuqiao more than ten years ago is called Li Ting, so the master sent me to ask my mother about it."

Zhou's mother's face was dull: "Could it be... that... Li Ting... is really dead, that's why he never came back?"

Le Yue's eyes flashed, "Mother Zhou, I wonder if you could tell me in detail what the Li Ting you know looks like, how old is it, how did you meet Miss Yuqiao, did you say where you were going when you left?"

Zhou's mother looked back, she was silent for a moment, and said: "Little brother, the person you are looking for is really called Li Ting? To tell you the truth, Li Ting has caused my Yuqiao to be like this, and I wish he could die." But, if he is really the person you are looking for... Sigh! My Yuqiao knew Li Ting 18 years ago. At that time, Yuqiao was so popular that even the magistrate came to see her in disguise. I have seen that Li Ting is a cloth seller. Among the people who like Yuqiao, I can't be ranked. I don't know why she fell in love with him... However, Li Ting is a little boy, even though he is a cloth seller , looks like a student, fair and clean, was only in his twenties at the time, had not yet grown a beard, and was handsome and refined. In short, Yuqiao was seduced by him, and he didn't pick up any customers, except Li Ting didn't see anyone, and even said that Li Ting wanted to marry her. I told her at the time that this is what men who come to shop in brothels usually say, and I can't believe it, but she just wouldn't listen..."

Speaking of this, sadness came from his heart, and he wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

Le Yue secretly clenched his fists under the table, 18 years ago, it happened to be the time when the city was covered in blood.

After a long, long, long silence, Lin Qing murmured: "So... you are here... have a friend..."

Le Yue opened his mouth like a dead fish, the pink in his arms raised his head, and touched his face with trembling hands: "Li Lang—" Le Yue was stunned again.

Although the woman hugging him was dressed as a girl, the thick makeup couldn't cover her withered face. There were deep wrinkles around her eyes and mouth, and her temples, which were full of pearls, were messy and mixed with silver threads.Only the eyes looking at Le Yue are full of girlish breath, very bright.

She is a middle-aged woman who is not young.

Le Yue stammered: "Husband... Madam... Did you recognize the wrong person..."

The woman's withered hand rubbed his face: "Li Lang, I know, you will definitely come back to me! Li Lang—" Her fingers were cold, her long nails were painted vermilion, and she was full of joy. The illusion of being hugged by a thousand-year-old zombie in an ancient tomb.

A few people came striding over from the opposite side of the street, among them two or three big men grabbed the woman's arms, peeled her off Le Yue, and dragged her backwards.

The woman screamed and struggled desperately with incredible strength: "Let go! Let me go! Li Lang! Li Lang!"

An old woman who came running together with those big men waved her hand to Le Yuefu: "My little brother, I'm sorry for frightening you. I'll match you up. Please go to our building for a drink cup..." His eyes swept around, and he half-covered his mouth with a veil and smiled, "Ah, it seems that the younger brother and the master and wife behind are together, so it is inconvenient to invite you to our building. It should be What should I do?"

Le Yue was a little taken aback, but seeing the old woman's dress and conversation, she had already guessed eighty-nine points, and said with a dry smile: "You don't have to be polite, this mother, it's nothing serious, haha, you'd better hurry this... er, This... madam, take it back."

The captured woman kept staring at Le Yue, struggling hard, and shouting louder and louder: "Li Lang! Li Lang——! Why don't you recognize Yuqiao? Let me go! Li Lang rescued me!" I!"

The expression of the old woman who was smiling with Le Yue changed, and she walked up to the woman with a few steps, and slapped her across the face: "How many times have I told you that the man surnamed Li has a wife! For more than ten years I threw you away before! Three days and two days ago, I went to the streets to mourn! Zaihao tore your mouth!"

Turning around again, his expression changed again, and he showed a courteous smile again: "My little brother, I took this crazy woman home first. I'm really sorry, your lord has a lot, don't be with a lunatic Care about it." He waved his hand and directed the three big men to drag the screaming woman away.

Le Yue stared blankly at the group of people dragging the crazy woman into a building opposite. There were gauze curtains and ribbons hanging in that building, and three large characters written on the door plaque——Eye Mei.

The owner of the noodle stall said, "Oh, little brother, that crazy woman came back to make troubles in the street every three days, today is just a coincidence for you."

Le Yue said clearly: "That woman is..."

The proprietress who was below answered, "It's the prostitute in that building who has been crazy for more than ten years."

Le Yue and the others sat down at the small table, and while waiting for the noodles, they listened to the noodle shop proprietress talk about ancient times.

The crazy woman's name is Yuqiao. When she was young, she was a well-known courtesan. It is said that even the elders of the provincial capital came to see her.

More than ten years ago, for some reason, she fell in love with a merchant who came to sell cloth from out of town.As a result, the man left and never came back, and she went crazy after waiting and waiting.

Le Yue sighed deeply.

Lin Qing said angrily: "That man is really not a good guy, since you don't plan to marry her, don't lie to her in the first place!"

None of the males present expressed their opinions, and the proprietress said: "But Yuqiao is good at fortune-telling, the mother in the building is her own mother, otherwise she will become crazy like this, and she may be killed early in the morning..."

Lin Qing snorted, "I don't know where that heartbroken man is now, and whether he has been punished."

Du Ruyuan coughed, and said quietly, "Miss, restrain yourself."

The noodle stall owner smiled and said to Le Yue: "Brother, you are lucky, this time you ran into her like this, she still has a crazy way, it's really troublesome to bump into her."

Le Yue was taken aback, wasn't that scary enough just now?Half an hour later, Ying Ze finally put down the empty bowl and wiped his mouth with his sleeve. Du Ruyuan took out his money bag with a sad face, and the noodle stall owner watched them leave with a smile on his face.

Just two steps away, there was a sudden noise behind her, and it came from Niang'er Mei's direction again. Le Yue subconsciously turned her head and was shocked.

With a touch of familiar peach red, he rushed towards him with a kitchen knife, and when he looked at him with hatred, it was clearly him.

Could it be that this person is really his father Li Ting?Mother Zhou wiped the corners of her eyes, then blew her nose again, and said in a soft voice, "I don't know if this person is right for the person Mr. Gui is looking for. Yuqiao painted his portrait before, but unfortunately I burned it. But his I'll remember her appearance all my life, tall, with thick eyebrows and high nose bridge, by the way..." Zhou's mother held a handkerchief and looked at Le Yue with a strange expression, "Old man... Tell me something... Brother, you Don't be angry. Li Ting's appearance... is somewhat similar to yours... and his stature is also similar... If you change your clothes, you will look exactly the same from the back, but the taste will be far worse. No wonder Yuqiao saw the little brother You are very crazy."

Le Yue's mind was shocked. Based on his intuition, he was almost completely sure that the person who met Yuqiao was his father, Li Ting.

He stabilized his emotions, pretended not to care and asked, "Then... when did Li Ting leave?"

Zhou's mother said: "He only stayed in the city for less than two months, and left after the cloth was sold out. When he left, he coaxed Yuqiao to say that he was going back to prepare the dowry. Hmph!"

Le Yue continued: "Does he have any acquaintances or friends in Tong County?"

Zhou's mother shook her head: "No, if there was, I would have followed the vine and dragged this grandson out of the world! When he lived and sold cloth in this city, he rented the house of old man Liu in the city. Unfortunately, the old man died a few years ago. Otherwise, little brother, you can go to him to inquire about it."

Le Yue remained silent. After a while, he took out a piece of silver from his pocket and put it on the table: "Thank you, Mom."

Zhou's mother grabbed the silver and said with a smile: "Little... uh, the young master is too polite, I just talk about things that I know are respectable, I wonder if I can help Mr. Gui."

Le Yue got up and said goodbye with fists in his arms, and Zhou's mother returned the salute with a blessing.Seeing them off attentively, as soon as they reached the door, Zhou's mother suddenly stopped and clapped her hands: "Oh, I'm confused. It's not the most convenient way to check your handwriting if you want to find someone. I still have Li Ting's handwriting." !"

After a while of incense sticks, Zhou's mother returned to the room holding a wooden box.Le Yue took a deep breath, opened the lid of the box with both hands steadily, and took out a large stack of papers.He thought these were love poems and letters written by his father to Yuqiao, but when he looked through them carefully, he found that they turned out to be a pile of receipts, which said "two liang of Huadiao wine" and "ten silver for overnight stay". At the end, they are all signed "Li Ting".Zhou's mother said: "This is the bill Li Ting left when he came here to look for Yuqiao. Hmph, I want to wait for this grandson to show up one day, so that he can pay back the principal with interest!" Then you compensated and said with a smile: But if Mr. Gui wants it, I can transfer it at a low price for only five cents."

Le Yue closed the lid of the box and shook his head: "I have to go back and report to the master first." Zhou's mother nodded clearly and said yes, and graciously sent Le Yue and others all the way outside the Damen, and waved a handkerchief to invite them next time come again.After leaving Yan'er Mei for a long time, Zhao Yuan poked his head out of Le Yue's arms and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you buy that box of bills?" When seeing the box of bills, Le Yue obviously had shortness of breath and his heart beat fast. , Le Yue's father's handwriting on the bill means a lot to Le Yue.

Le Yue said: "I'm stupid, I was slaughtered by him, 200 taels of silver, it's not enough to chop me up and fry me into meatballs to sell." He pressed on the lapel of his clothes, "Quickly shrink back, it's still on the street now It’s not good to be seen by others.” Zhaoyuan groaned, and retracted into Le Yue’s arms. In the middle of the night, after Zhou’s mother finished a supper, she went to the door and continued to greet guests, when she saw a young man wandering outside the door .

Zhou's mother hurriedly edited and pulled him in: "Young master looks very nice, come out to play for the first time, what kind of girl do you like? Do you want me to arrange a similar age for you, or do you want an older one?"

The boy's handsome face was flushed red, and the girls around him hid their stutters and giggled.One of the older sisters pinched his face, and said softly: "Mom, don't scare people. Young master, which of our sisters is more beautiful, who do you want to accompany?"

The boy stammered: "I, I, I'm looking for Zhou's mother..."

The people around, including Zhou's mother, were taken aback. The boy broke free from the clutches of the girls and stood up straight: "I'm here to buy the wooden box that Zhou's mother showed to people not long ago."

In the quiet room, the boy put a cloth bag on the table, and Zhou's mother opened it, and immediately gasped.

Several strange scales lay on the white silk cloth, and the golden light overflowed, and the whole room was filled with a faint golden light.

The young man said: "200 taels of silver is too heavy, so it's not easy to get. Now, the price of water dragon scales on the market seems to be ten taels a piece. There are twenty dragon scales here. I wonder if you would like to change that wooden box:" Zhou's mother stared at the scales for a while, and then wrapped the scales up like flying, put them into her arms, nodded like pounding garlic: "Of course!" Putting the wooden box with both hands, Zhou's mother stared at the A few scales, stunned for a while, then wrapped the scales like flying, put them in his arms, nodded like pounding garlic: "Of course!" He offered the wooden box with both hands.

Mama Zhou is familiar with the black market. Rare things like dragon scales and dragon tendons are rare in a hundred years. Mama Zhou has only seen them twice in most of her life. Moreover, the scales of water dragons have different prices according to their color. These few slices, mother Zhou affirmed with her beast-like intuition, that they are definitely rare gems!

Seeing the boy put away the wooden box, Mother Zhou hurriedly added: "Young master, the imperial court is arresting some rebel dragon monster now. Jiao, that is also a relative of the dragon, and it is a big taboo. The old man fell in love with the young master, so I exchanged it with you just now." Yes, but you must never say anything about it.”

The young man smiled: "Don't worry, I'm more afraid of trouble than you. If my father couldn't afford 200 taels of silver for a while, he wouldn't let me exchange it. I hope you can keep it a secret."

Zhou's mother smiled flatteringly: "Of course." In her mind, she quickly compared the young man in front of her eyes and the few people she met in the afternoon with the portraits on the wanted list.After confirming that it didn't seem to be the case, he sent the boy out of the door just now.

The next morning, when Le Yue woke up, he suddenly found that the wooden box that Zhou's mother took out yesterday was lying beside his pillow.He was startled, and pulled out the humanoid Shao Yuan from under the blanket: "What's going on?"

Zhao Yuan rubbed his sleepy eyes, looking confused, Le Yue frowned: "How did you get it? I know it must be you."

Zhao Yuan chuckled and didn't speak.

Le Yue stared at him closely: "How did you get it? 200 taels of silver, how can you have so much money?"

Zhao Yuan glanced around: "I stole it."

Le Yue frowned tightly: "Steal? You are not a flying pioneer."

Zhao Yuan raised his front paws and scratched his head: "I, I learned from Ying Ze, and cheated me by changing some money."

Le Yue sullenly said, "No, the silver-changing spell won't last long, and your magic power is not high. If you really cheated, then the bustard would have come to settle accounts with us long ago. Tell me, what did you get for it?"

Zhao Yuan's eyes flickered, and he smirked.

Le Yue suddenly threw off the quilt and tore Zhao Yuan's skirt.Zhao Yuan couldn't help taking a deep breath.

Le Yue's face became more and more ugly, and when he took off the clothes on his upper body, he saw that a large piece of skin on his left arm was completely gone, and the red meat with blood scabs on the outside was exposed.

Le Yue's face was instantly livid, and there was a thick black air in the cage: "You pulled out your own scales?"

Zhao Yuan could only nod his head.

The veins on Le Yue's forehead popped up, Zhao Yuan saw him so angry for the first time: "You really don't have a brain! Mind your own business! Pull out the scales and exchange for a box of broken paper!"

Zhao Yuan scratched his head: "Actually, it's nothing, a new one will grow in two days."

Le Yue's eyes were red, furious: "Long! What if the dragon scale you sent out exposed our Xingzang?! Where did you live at almost 100 years old!"

Zhao Yuan replied honestly: "I told you, I used to live in the ditch, and then came to the ground, and then..."

A mouthful of blood almost rushed out of Le Yue's throat: "You..." Put the quilt back on it, and said viciously, "Stay honestly under the quilt." He slammed the door and left.

Zhao Yuan rubbed his nose under the blanket, thinking whether he should really stay under the blanket or follow him out to have a look, when the door suddenly (? I can't read the word clearly) opened again.Le Yue held Lin Qing with his left hand and Shang Jing with his right hand and strode in. Du Ruyuan yawned and followed behind: "Brother Le, can you open the door lightly, the guests on this floor are still asleep, why are you catching Brother Gui?" Can you explain what you want to do..."

Le Yue pulled Lin Qing to stand in front of the bed, put Shang Jing on the bed, threw off the quilt, and rolled up Zhao Yuan's sleeves.

Du Ruyuan poked his head over to look: "It's a serious injury, how could it be like this?"

Lin Qing was taken aback, and was surprised: "Why are you free to pull out your own scales?"

Le Yue said roughly: "Treat it."

Shang Jing slowly squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully: "This injury should be cured quickly with the old man's method of restoring muscles and bones."

Lin Qing snapped back and said, "The great method of restoring muscles and bones? It sounds like it's for treating injured muscles and bones. Well, it's scales falling off." She lowered her head and took out a jade bottle from her bag, "We still need to use our Qilin clan Specially made secret medicine revitalizing muscle water! Pair it with this beard smoothing lotion, apply three drops externally and take three drops internally, the effect will be immediate."

Shang Jing chuckled twice: "Little unicorn, your potion seems to be a beauty product for female unicorns, are you sure you won't ruin your stomach if you drink it?"

Lin Qing shook the medicine bottle in her hand: "Old turtle, if you don't accept it, let's compare it. How about this, the upper half of the injury belongs to you, and the lower half belongs to me. I just use the medicine for external application, and see who heals first ,how?"
