The Sick Beauty in the Republic of China

Blind Zhao was stunned for a moment when he heard the commotion outside, and then ran out with a paper man on his head, laughing and stumbling all the way without taking off his head.

"Hey hey, here's something to eat..."

Wang Luan and Qi Chensheng looked at each other, a little surprised that Blind Zhao had become so crazy, and someone would come to see him, so they followed closely and walked out of the small dark temple.

Before they stepped out the door, they heard the voice sound again, as if scolding: "Blind Zhao, what are you dawdling in here, if you do that again, I won't come."

"I don't want to come, I have to come," Blind Zhao at this meeting did not have the treachery in the pile of paper figurines. When Wang Luan looked over, he was squatting on the ground, gnawing on a roast chicken brought by a middle-aged man. Wang turned his head and pointed at Wang Luan and said, "Paper man, pretty paper man—"

"Where is such a beautiful paper figurine?" The middle-aged man obviously didn't expect that there were other people in the small temple. They ran over, still muttering:

"Qi, Er Shao Qi, why are you here?"

Wang Luan looked at him, then looked sideways at Qi Chensheng who was standing beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Does Chen Sheng recognize him?"

Unexpectedly, Qi Chensheng shook his head, and knocked the gentleman's staff on the ground boredly: "I've never seen it before." He looked at Wang Luan with doubts, and added: "In this Yunchuan City, I'm afraid there are not many people who don't recognize it." out of mine."

This was said frivolously, but Wang Luan admitted that it was true.Among other things, the scar on Qi Chensheng's eye is really recognizable.

In a blink of an eye, the man in the long gown came in front of the two of them. He first greeted Qi Chensheng flatteringly, and then his eyes fell on Wang Luan.

Wang Luan was thinking about it, now that rumors are flying all over the sky in Yunchuan City, people with a bit of reputation may not want to get involved with him, but the smile on this man's face is even heavier, calling without hesitation: "Second Young Master Madam looks pretty good today, not bad..."

What Wang Luan said made him even more puzzled, he just smiled politely at him, and secretly looked at Qi Chensheng again, is this man really not one of his subordinates?

Qi Chensheng was unmoved, shook Wang Luan's hand, and looked at the visitor coldly: "This gentleman can talk, I don't know what to call him?"

The man was not at all embarrassed by not being recognized. Instead, he looked as if it should be taken for granted. When Qi Chensheng asked, he hurriedly said: "What do you call me? My surname is Zhou. All acquaintances call me Wuqian, and Qi Ershao also That’s what it’s called.”

However, Qi Chensheng was so close to him, he didn't intend to answer the words at all, but just looked at him as before, until the man felt uncomfortable, so he continued: "Second Young Master Qi, I... I met you today. You want to rush to apologize to you, to the Second Young Madam."

Wang Luan saw that this surnamed Zhou was really unfamiliar, and somehow he had something to do with him again, so he coughed lightly and said: "Mr. Zhou's words are strange. We didn't know each other before, so why did you accept your apology for nothing? ?”

"I don't know each other," I don't know if it's hot or what, sweat was also seeping on Friday Qian's forehead, he wiped it with his sleeve, but his mouth was not as sharp as before: "But, but yesterday two distinguished guests... Been to my shabby tavern..."

Having said that, both Wang Luan and Qi Chensheng understood that this Friday Qian was the owner of the Linhedao restaurant by Yunshuibian.He happened to be away from the shop yesterday, so he rushed back at dinner time, and immediately heard about what happened in the restaurant at noon.

This Friday, Qian was almost so frightened that he didn't close his eyes for the whole night, for fear that the rumored Qi Er Shao who was unusually fierce would be implicated in him if he got upset.

He had originally planned to go to the door to apologize in person, but unexpectedly it happened just in time, so he seized the opportunity to join him.

When Qi Chensheng heard that it was because of what happened yesterday, his eyes instantly turned cold, making Qian Qian tremble all over that Friday.

"Shen Sheng." Seeing this, Wang Luan shook Qi Chensheng's hand instead, which made his gaze less scary.It's not that Wang Luan doesn't care about what happened yesterday, but seeing that Friday Qian can rush over by himself so eagerly, he understands that there should be nothing wrong with this Friday Qian's facts and rumors The relationship is purely unlucky, it happened in his shop, there is no need to embarrass him right now.

What Wang Luan could think of, Qi Chensheng couldn't think of, but in his opinion, even if this matter was to be exposed lightly, it should reveal some value.

"It turned out to be the shopkeeper Zhou of the restaurant." He embraced Wang Luan, tapped his cane, and walked past Friday Qian seemingly unintentionally: "The business of your store is good, but unfortunately there are too many flies and insects. The shop is really dirty."

"Yes, yes." Friday Qian raised his hand again to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and kept nodding his head in response, feeling that the sound of the cane falling to the ground would also hit his spine.

But in the final analysis, he has also been in the restaurant for 30 or [-] years, so how could he fail to understand the meaning of Qi Chensheng's words: "What Qi Ershao said is that I trained those guys last night. What to say and what not to say are definitely counted.”

"Keep every word sent from us, so that you can listen comfortably."

Qi Chensheng didn't want to talk too much with him, but just gave a faint "um", then continued to walk forward with Wang Luan in his arms, and stopped in front of blind Zhao who was still eating chicken.

Blind Zhao noticed their coming, and immediately turned his head with the chicken in his arms. At this moment, under the sunlight, Wang Luan suddenly realized...his eyes did not seem to be blind.

Just now in the temple, everything happened so suddenly, now that I think about it carefully, it doesn't seem like a blind person could do it.

Wang Luan was still not sure, so he just stretched out his hand and brushed in front of Blind Zhao, who knew that Blind Zhao was about to grab his hand with a grin, causing Qi Chensheng to slap his hand again.

"Ah—" Blind Zhao yelled again, fearing that he would offend Qi Chensheng on Friday, Qian Qian immediately stepped forward to stop him and said, "Qi Er Shao, Qi Er Shao, don't be as knowledgeable as a lunatic."

"Is he not blind?" Wang Luan stopped trying, and turned to Friday Qian and asked.

Friday Qian's complexion was also a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to tell lies anymore, so he could only admit, "Yes, I'm not too blind..."

"What do you mean not too blind?" Qi Chensheng couldn't hear his words, and shouted in a low voice, Friday Qian immediately changed his words: "Not blind!"

"Then why is he pretending to be blind?" Wang Luan immediately continued to ask after hearing this.

Speaking of this, Friday Qian just sighed, and said with some helplessness: "Actually, it's nothing. They just work in their line of business. Isn't it just a matter of relying on that half-immortal? Some half-immortals are lacking in five and three. In other words, if they don’t have one, they have to put one on themselves.”

"So, Mr. Zhao has no daughter-in-law alone, and blind Zhao is born blind. These are all made up?" Wang Luan frowned, really not knowing what to say about them.

"That's... let's just say it..." Wu Qian didn't have to deny it, anyway, Blind Zhao was already crazy, so there was no need for him to lie.

But Wang Luan thought of more than that, he looked at the blind Zhao on the ground, and said again: "These are fake, what about the paper car paper horse into the clouds?"

Wu Qian's eyes were averted in an instant, and his words began to be vague: "This... this is doing practice, how can there be any truth or falsehood..."

"Bang——" Qi Chensheng's cane suddenly hit the ground hard, causing Friday Qian to tremble again.

"Qi, Second Young Master Qi... I beg you for this matter," but even so, Friday Qian still didn't say anything: "Blind Zhao did some shameful things, but now he has his retribution. "

"It's all right for you to save his life, don't ask about this matter."

Seeing that Wu Qian didn't want to talk about it, Wang Luan wanted to use the canary again, but now he hesitated after hearing the embarrassment in his words.

"What if I have to ask?" Qi Chensheng didn't intend to give in, but instead clinging to his cane, he approached Wu Qian by a few points.

"Second Young Master Qi..." Wu Qian had a completely bitter face. He looked around and saw no one else, but he still lowered his voice and said, "If you really want to know, I can only show you a way... As for us Blocks of streets and alleys, shops along Yunshui, you just look under your feet..."

Qi Chensheng was also weighing Friday's money in his heart, knowing that he might have said it to the end, so he didn't continue to force him.

On Friday, Qian Qian noticed that Qi Chensheng's attitude had slowed down, and he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, looking at blind Zhao who was sitting on the ground gnawing a chicken, he also sighed a bit: "This man, he just can't do evil, no matter how much he does, sooner or later he will Come back to yourself."

Seeing him like this, Wang Luan no longer pressed him about paper carts and horses, but he talked about Zhao Blind again: "Does shopkeeper Zhou know why he is crazy?"

Friday Qian shook his head, sighed again and said, "Maybe it was retribution, maybe it was murdered by others, who knows."

"Blind Zhao has been crazy for so many years. Shopkeeper Zhou has come to see him. It can be seen that the relationship is good. Why don't you even want to know why he is crazy?"

Qian was frightened after being frightened just now on Friday, and now his spirit has weakened, and he no longer has that affectation to Qi Chensheng and Wang Luan, and said quite sincerely: "They are all old neighbors for many years, Speaking of which, we grew up wearing a pair of pants, but... I'm glad he's crazy, he's crazy."

Having said that, Blind Zhao also finished eating the chicken, and Friday Qian didn't mind the mess he caused, so he stooped to clean it up one by one.When he wanted to leave, he came to Qi Chensheng and Wang Luan again, and said after deliberation: "Second Young Master Qi, I have heard about Tianjinfang."

"If you want to investigate Yao San's death, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with Blind Zhao and what happened at the edge of Yunshui back then."

"But if you want to find out about paper carts and horses, I can only persuade you that those things have long passed, and even if you know it now, it is useless."

"We want to find out about Suxi." On Friday, Qian was still chattering, but Wang Luan rarely interrupted others, and said Suxi's name directly: "Does shopkeeper Zhou know about her?"

This next Friday Qian was also stunned, he seemed to be thinking about who Su Xi was, and then nodded suddenly after a long while: "Yes, I think back then, when Blind Zhao was doing business for the last night, was there someone in Tianjinfang?" Something happened to such a person."
