Chapter 10
When he opened his eyes, he saw Lin Yu's face was as dark as water, and he was holding the net rope with both hands, trying to support his body, so as not to look too embarrassed.
Seeing his funny look, Chen Yan couldn't help laughing loudly: "Hero Lin, you sometimes miss, hahahaha——"
"At this time, you can still laugh." Lin Yu said speechlessly.
"Don't worry," Chen Yu waved his hand, "You see, most of the traps here are dark nets, and the silver needles before are not necessarily fatal, which means that the people who set up the traps don't want to kill people, they just want to prevent trespassers. "
Seeing his confident appearance, Lin Yi suddenly thought of something and asked, "Speaking of which, since Senior Min is Miss Gu's master, didn't she tell you that there is an institution here?"
"Hehehe," Chen Yu said awkwardly, "I think she forgot in a hurry."
Lin Yu looked at him suspiciously, but did not ask further.
At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps in the bamboo grove. Chen Yu poked his head out to look, and was a little dazed for a while.
The person who came was a man about 50 years old, with a well-groomed gray beard hanging down to his chest, plain clothes, and a basket with many herbs on his back.
What is somewhat surprising is that although this person has reached the age of destiny, he can vaguely see that he has excellent appearance. If he is 20 years younger, he must be a handsome young man.
"Your Excellency, Senior Min?" Lin Yan asked first.
Without raising his head, the man said: "The old man won't see a doctor for three years, so the guests can come and go wherever they come from."
Chen Yan stretched out his arms and swayed, shouting: "Senior Min, it's me, Chen Yan."
Min Bugui raised his head, not surprised at all, and said: "So it was you, Liu girl told me. How did you get up there?"
Chen Yan was speechless for a while: You have the nerve to ask me about the mechanism you set up yourself.
Min Bugui calmly went over to put the two of them down, pointed to a place outside the bamboo forest and said, "That's where the mechanism is closed. I taught you before, how did you forget?"
Chen Yu scolded his mother in his heart and said: "I came in a hurry, I was thinking about seeing Mr., I was so excited, I forgot about it, hehe."
Min Bugui gave him a strange look, then sighed, and said, "That's all, come with me."
The three entered the bamboo house, Min Bugui pointed to the small table next to him, and said concisely: "Sit."
When the two sat down, he didn't serve tea, so he asked Chen Yu to stretch out his hand.
Quietly took the pulse for him, pondered for a while and said: "Liu girl said that you have been poisoned, I looked at it, and I still can't cure the poison, let's take medicine to suppress it for now."
He said this calmly, as if he was saying that Chen Yan was just fed up, so that Chen Yan didn't know whether he should worry about his situation.
"Then, is there any hope of detoxification?" Chen Yan asked cautiously, for fear of offending the big boss.
Min Bugui's eyes were quite playful, and after a while he said: "When you find someone for me, it may be possible."
Looking for someone?Chen Yan was full of doubts, and Lin Yi had the same reaction.
Min Bugui chuckled, and said: "Miao Buxiu has been missing in the rivers and lakes for nearly 20 years, and it's really not easy to find him. Don't worry, with me here, you won't die for the time being."
Chen Yan squeezed out a forced smile, and had to thank him for these words.
It's just that he feels that his pressure is getting bigger and bigger, the previous things are not over yet, and now another Miao Buxiu pops up, who knows who this Miao Buxiu is.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Yan said: "This Miao Buxiu is senior's younger brother, the poison sage who was famous all over the world?"
Min Bugui's face changed suddenly: "Poison Saint? He also has the face to lick the word 'holy'! He is just a shameless kid who deceives his master and exterminates his ancestors!"
Chen Yu didn't expect that there would be such a deep hatred between the two, and he could already guess the general situation from his words.
Just when he and Lin Yu were panicking, Min Bugui had calmed down his anger and returned to his previous indifferent appearance, only with a little bit of indistinct sadness in his eyes.
"Aren't you going to Jinchuan to find someone, go earlier." Min Bugui waved at them as if tired, and directly issued the order to evict them.
Naturally, the two of them couldn't stay any longer, so they said goodbye and went out.
After walking a few steps away, Chen Yu leaned into Lin Yu's ear and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Min to be a handsome old man, but he's a little moody."
Listening to the strange words that popped out of his mouth, Lin Yi knew that he must be talking nonsense again, so he shook his head and said, "It's getting late, hurry up and go."
Chen Yan hurriedly nodded and said yes, halfway through the walk, he suddenly shouted regretfully: "Oh, I said I came here for lunch, but I was kicked out after only taking a sip of tea!"
The two entered the city smoothly and found a small inn to stay.
The road was full of wind and dust, and both of them were exhausted, so they rested early, and it was already bright when they woke up.
After breakfast, Lin Yi meant to go out to inquire about the news by himself, and asked Chen Yan to wait in the inn.
How could Chen Yu be free, and after he was almost assassinated in Tongzhou, he was even more convinced that Lin Daxia's side was the safest place, so he followed him out.
Lin Yi's original intention was to go directly to the fabric store. Since Liao Dajin is a silk merchant, the fabric store is the best source of information.
Chen Yan has a lazy personality, and he still has a sense of freshness about the world. Along the way, he was attracted by the colorful gadgets in the market, as if he was here to play.
Lin Yu wanted to urge her twice, but Chen Yu said, "Didn't you listen to Miss Gu, let us cover up our identities? You can easily be noticed by rushing directly to the fabric store like this."
Lin Yu thought about it, and found it reasonable, so he just calmed down and went for a walk with him.
It's just that after wandering around for a while, Chen Yan realized that he had forgotten one important thing - he had no extra money.
Lin Di was in charge of food and lodging, and the little money that Gu Liu put in his bag might only be enough for the next expenses of food and clothing. Bring some money out.
Presumably, Shen Yan should have made a lot of money.
It happened that Chen Yan walked to a rouge stall, Lin Yu saw him hesitating here, with a tangled expression on his face, so he couldn't ask clearly, so he just said to him, "Go ahead and have a look."
Chen Yan absent-mindedly agreed and walked forward, and he didn't have the mind to go shopping until he came to a fabric store.
Lin Biao went in and inquired for a while, and when he came out he was holding a bolt of bright red satin in his hand.
Chen Yan smiled and said, "You make clothes?"
Lin Biao stuffed the cloth into his arms, and said: "The shopkeeper won't open his mouth until I buy the cloth. I don't need this cloth, you can use it."
Chen Yu really accepted it, carried the cloth on his shoulders and caught up with Lin Yu, asking, "What did the shopkeeper say?"
"They say they live in the north of the city." Lin Yu hurriedly walked.
Chen Yan didn't dare to delay any longer, and the two rushed directly to the north of the city.
However, along the way, Chen Yan felt that the more he walked, the more familiar he became, and he even took Lin Yi to take a few shortcuts.
"Have you been here before?" Lynn asked curiously.
"Uh, it happened a long time ago. I didn't expect to remember the road conditions here." Chen Yan dared not deny it completely, once he really came, it would be easy to reveal his secrets later.
The two turned out of a small alley, and the narrow road suddenly became wider, and a stone road that could accommodate two carriages running side by side passed across and extended to both ends.
On the other side of the road, stands a magnificent building, with a wide plaque above the brightly painted gate, with two large characters written on it: Chen's house.
Lin Yi was slightly taken aback, and thought to himself: "Why are you here?"
Looking at Chen Yan again, he seemed unaware, staring blankly at the big house, wondering what he was thinking.
Lin Yu didn't want to attract the attention of the Chen family, so he tugged on Chen Yu's sleeve and said, "Let's go quickly."
Chen Yu seemed to be startled and shrank to the side, turned his head and looked at Lin Yu defensively, his eyes were full of hatred and unwillingness.
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Yu asked in surprise.
Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, his eyes suddenly returned to his usual clarity, he staggered for a while, and asked blankly, "What did you just say?"
Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's okay, let's go."
Chen Yan was still in a daze, nodded and followed behind blankly.
At this time, the corner door on the east side of Chen's house creaked open, and a middle-aged old man with a hunchback came out from inside, followed by two boys in Tsing Yi.
The old man climbed into a carriage which was parked by the corner door, and got in.The two boys sat on both sides, and drove the car slowly to the west.
Chen Yan stared at the carriage and left, feeling that the old man was very familiar, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
It was just an inexplicable chill that shot out from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, giving him an urge to flee immediately.
Turning his head again, Lin Yu was standing five steps away quietly waiting for him, with gentle eyes.
The chill in his body faded, his heart warmed up, and he walked towards the other party.
The two came to the Honglai inn that the shopkeeper of the fabric shop had mentioned. Lin Yi gave the clerk a tael of silver, and the clerk immediately smiled and said, "It's not a good time for you two to come. Uncle Liao just left the house. Meeting with friends. He often goes to the Four Seas Restaurant, why don't you two go there and have a look?"
Look at what this said, the logic is clear, the information is complete, and the power of money is indeed infinite.
The two went straight to the Four Seas Restaurant.
The restaurant is located in the bustling part of the market, with the gate open to the street, the lobby on the first floor is as big as several other shops, and it can be seen that the scale is extraordinary.
There are several flags on the second floor, and the characters written in strong strokes are the name of the restaurant.
As soon as he stepped through the gate, the clerk immediately greeted him and asked enthusiastically, "Do you two sit in the open hall or the private seat?"
Lin Yi quickly glanced around and said, "Just sit here."
When the clerk came to boil the tea, Lin Yi gave him a tael of silver as usual, and asked, "We are new here and want to buy some cloth here to return to our hometown. I wonder if you have a recommended shopkeeper or merchant."
Upon hearing this, the clerk hurriedly said, "You came just in time. The biggest cloth merchant here is Uncle Liao. He is meeting guests on the second floor. Why don't you two order some wine and food first, and I'll tell you when he comes down."
"Thank you so much."
The author has something to say: Chen Yan: I think a strange thing happened when I didn't know it.
Me: No, it doesn't.
Chen Yu: There must be, tell me.
Me: No, readers will see it, so there will be no surprises.
Chen Yu: ...
