I want to live, get married

Chapter 21 The Dark Alley

After a while, He Qingqing and Liu Yanhan would return to the narrow alley, and they walked straight in. The alley twisted and twisted like a spider's web, and occasionally some doors and courtyards on both sides could not be closed.

The two walked and watched, but they didn't find anything special for a long time, "Ang, Aang, Aang..." Suddenly there were a few donkeys braying not far in front, He Qingqing and Liu Yanhan looked at each other, and immediately pulled their feet towards the door. Go ahead.

Turning a corner in the alley, I found a cart pulled by a donkey parked on the side of the road, and a strong man was lying on the cart. With a clear face and crossed legs, he seems to be taking a nap.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Liu Yanhan tugged He Qingqing's sleeve subconsciously, her eyes signaled her to pay attention to the man on the side of the road.

Needless to say, He Qingqing gave her a look to reassure her.

She took Liu Yanhan with her, pretending to be nonchalant, and passed by the strong man. When she got close, she deliberately raised her voice and said to herself: "Oh, brother Liu, although today is the winter solstice, it is rare The weather here is fine, today you and my brother visited this Xinggang town, it was really pleasant."

He Qingqing suddenly said such incomprehensible words, Liu Yanhan didn't know what she meant, so he forced a smile and followed her words: "Heh, heh, heh... Brother He said exactly, Exactly."

"You and I, brothers, traveled around the mountains and rivers and had fun everywhere. When we came here, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery and tasted delicious food. We had a great time. What a pity! It seems that something is missing."

"Brother He, how do you say this?"

"This trip always feels like something is missing. It's like eating without meat and feasting without wine. It makes people feel very boring. For example, it lacks a little..."

When saying this, He Qingqing deliberately paused, glanced casually at the man lying on the donkey cart by the side of the road, and said the last two words very slowly with an accentuated tone: ''... Stimulating, stimulating ..."

Just when he was about to pass by the man on the side of the road, he turned his body, stretched himself, and cursed impatiently in a noisy voice: "What are you talking about? Didn't see anyone Are you going to sleep?"

"Oh... I'm sorry..." He Qingqing stopped quickly and apologized to the man lying on the scooter. She explained calmly: "The two of us passed by here and didn't want to disturb this big brother. Rest, I hope you have a lot of adults, don't blame me."

"Ah..." The man lying on the cart finally yawned and sat up. He took off the hat covering his face, revealing a square dark face with blue-gray stubble on his chin. There was a knife scar in the corner of the left eye of this person, and the scar had wrinkled and shrunk together for a long time, making his eyelid drooping and looking a little scary.

This sturdy man looked like a practicing family boy, his eyes showed the sternness of a person who has been in the world all year round, and he still had a piece of thatch in his mouth, chewing it casually.

With sharp eyes, he looked He Qingqing and Liu Yanhan up and down, seeing how well-dressed, delicate-skinned and tender-skinned the two were, he wondered if the rich son of some family had come out to have fun. In this man's eyes, people are like two fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

"The two sons look unfamiliar! They are not locals!"

"Indeed, we are from Nanyang City, not far from here."

"Oh! Your noble son from the city! Why do you want to come to such a small place as Xinggang Town? It's a poor village and there's nothing to play here."

"Hey... this big brother's words are wrong, you don't know something! People say that Xinggang Town has good feng shui, and you can get good luck here..."

He Qingqing said it jokingly, while rubbing two fingers seriously.

She signaled to the man meaningfully: "I heard... even being lucky will make you feel better." She closed her mouth and showed a look that you understand to the man.

Speaking of this, the scarred man's face froze, his eyes dodged left and right: "What is Feng Shui, I'm not a Feng Shui master, I don't understand these vain things, I'm just a peddler."

"Pull goods!" After hearing what the man with the scar said, He Qingqing looked him around thoughtfully, and sneered weakly.

She clapped her hands together and said excitedly: "Putting goods... that's good! As the saying goes, it's better to be in time than to be in time! I just have a batch of goods to be shipped to the south, I don't know if you can take over this job or not! "

After finishing the job, He Qingqing looked like she was in control, waiting for the man with the scar to reply.

The conversation between the two of them back and forth made Liu Yanhan feel as if she was falling into the clouds and didn't know what to say, but it was difficult to ask in detail about the current situation, so she could only listen quietly from the sidelines.

The scarred man twisted the thatch in his mouth and threw it on the ground, then spat lightly on the dregs in his mouth, and said with a sinister smile, "Joke, I'm just a hauler. How can there be such a thing in this world?" Unacceptable business."

He glanced up and down at He Qingqing and asked, "That depends on how much you have."

At this time, He Qingqing stretched out his hand from the open sleeve unhurriedly, slapped the scarred man, and gestured with five fingers a few times, maybe it was some kind of gesture, anyway, standing still Liu Yanhan beside him didn't see why.

He Qingqing paused word by word, and said clearly to the man with the scar: "No more, no less, a total of 32 boxes."

The scarred man snorted: "That depends on how much you pay, young master."

"No more, no less is the same number." He Qingqing said, and made another gesture with his hand, which seemed to be exactly the same as the gesture just now.

"Deal...I'll take this order." The scarred man slapped his thigh and settled down.

Although I didn't understand what was going on, and I didn't know why He Qingqing and this scarred man were suddenly involved in the business of selling goods.

But Liu Yanhan clearly understood that since the man with the scar said that the deal was made, it must have something to do with the black gambling house.

These two people must have said some code word in the gambling shop, but they didn't understand it.

"Since the young master is sincerely doing business, let's pay a small deposit first! But there are industry regulations, and the deposit cannot be less than this amount." The man with the scar was speaking, and he gestured with his palm.

After seeing it, He Qingqing understood, she calmly took out the money bag from her bosom, and threw it over with her arms.

The "click" sound was caught by the man with the scar. He weighed the money bag in his hand, opened the bag and carefully counted the money inside, and then looked around the alley with a guilty conscience to make sure. No pedestrians passed by, so I was relieved.

Thinking about it, this man with the scar is not a kind person. Seeing that He Qingqing is very experienced in speaking and doing things, he looks like a veteran who has been in the gambling hall all year round, but the whole person looks slender and weak. Get off your horse.

He picked up the straw mat at the back of the cart, took out a small bag from the box above, and shouted: "Catch it." With a backhand lift, the bag flew towards He Qingqing like an arrow from the string.

Unexpectedly, such a sudden encounter made He Qingqing froze for a moment, seeing that the pocket was about to hit the door.

Seeing Liu Yanhan at the side, he stepped forward with lightning speed and stood in front of her. With a sweep of his hand, he took advantage of the momentum to grab the cloth bag that was flying towards him.

She took a sharp look at the man with the scar in front of her eyes, despising this kind of scum in the rivers and lakes who rely on a little bit of kung fu to make things difficult for others, and secretly glanced at He Qingqing behind her, seeing that he was fine , so he held back his anger and didn't break out.

She weighed the cloth bag in her hand, opened the bag, and took a look. It turned out to be a pack of small wooden signs, about twenty or so, carved with dense dots, neither like words nor pictures. Not knowing what it meant, she showed He Qingqing the bag in her hand, and she just nodded slightly, without saying anything.

"Brother, things are not for throwing away..." Liu Yanhan then teased in a cold tone: "After all, we paid for it, it would be bad if it was smashed .” The words closed, and she didn’t even bother to give him a look.

The man with the scar looked at his posture. The handsome man next to him who had been silent just now seemed to have some skills in his hands, and he didn't know who the other party was. He knew that his joke was a bit too much, so he hurriedly smiled: "Heh, heh...by accident, I accidentally slipped my hand, the two young masters don't want to take offense."

After finishing speaking, he put his finger in his mouth and blew a long whistle: "Whew..."

"Squeak..." With a sound, the door of a small, unremarkable room next to it opened, and a big man with a prickly beard stepped out from inside. It was just now that he and Ma Lang were whispering in the alley In the end, it was he who led Ma Langzhong to the suburbs of Xinggang Town. If there is no accident, these two people must be in the same group.

"Brother beard, these two young masters are new here, and they have already paid a deposit..." the man with the scar said, patting his bulging money pocket.

"Excuse me, please show me the way, let the two of you inspect the goods carefully, and let's do serious business when we come down." He said with an affirmative wink to the bearded man.

The bearded man quickly understood, walked to Liu Yanhan and He Qingqing, waved his big hand as a gesture of invitation, and said in a deep voice: "The place to see the goods is in the suburbs, so you have to walk a long way. Young master, please follow me."

The two of them understood, knowing that the bearded man was going to the underground casino, Liu Yanhan glanced at He Qingqing with some concern, she shook her head silently and responded with a look, indicating that there is no need to worry too much.

Therefore, Liu Yanhan said straight to the point: "I'm a quick-tempered person, so the sooner I look at the goods, the better. We have a carriage parked not far away, so it should be faster to drive there."

"It's better if you have a carriage. I will drive the horse for the two bridles. If you have trouble, the two young masters will move. Let's go." The big man with beard said with a smile.

When a group of three people left this narrow alley, the man with the scar still whistled behind him, and shouted to Liu Yanhan and He Qingqing: "Both young masters, have fun... remember next time there is a freight transaction Come again! Bao Jun is satisfied." Saying that, there was a burst of obscene and rampant laughter behind him.

Liu Yanhan cast a disgusted glance behind him, didn't bother to talk to him, pulled He Qingqing up and left.
