Chapter 170: Heroes meet (2)

Lao Du's coffin shop was just a large shed, and there wasn't even a flagpole for the shop.

Some simply tied wooden strips, surrounded by a few vines, form a yard.

The stacked wood blocks the outside view. When entering this greenhouse, you have to make a detour.

There were so many guests here today, Li Qing could not have imagined.

Originally, I just wanted to ask about the red coffin in the night, but I met two strange people here. Their past was unclear to Li Qing.

But there is one thing that Li Qing can be sure of. They are two strange people, and they are also very cheerful. Li Qing likes such cheerful people and can be his friends.

Li Qing only has one point of view in his heart when dealing with such people.

They may have had a glorious moment, but it is already in their past. Maybe they are just tired of the world and want to stay here to be happy people, preferring to be forgotten by time.

The customers who come here are definitely not looking for themselves, they must be looking for the blind man and Lao Du. It seems that the business here is busy.

Li Qing only had one mentality: as long as they were not causing trouble for him, and if he could get through it, he would follow their wishes. In his friends' territory, he would never cause trouble again.

The satin clothes were quickly put back into the coffin, and the blind man now sat on the bamboo recliner.

The fast horse stopped not far from the shop, and no one broke in.

"This is Lao Dutou's coffin shop." This was a strange voice.

"Yeah!" The voice that answered was also very unfamiliar.

"I'm going to see if there's a ready-made coffin?" This was an attentive person, and his tone seemed to be fawning over someone.

"Yeah!" It was still a stranger's voice, and this person didn't want to say a word more.

Two young men wearing gray robes came in a moment later. They both held a sword in their hands, and the scabbard was inlaid with a green gem.

The appearance of the people who came in was not special, but their swords made Li Qing a little strange. Among Jianghu sects, people who like to show off always like to decorate their swords no matter how good their swordsmanship is.

It seems that the more beautifully decorated a sword you have, the better your swordsmanship will be, and the greater your reputation will be.

The two men who came in just looked at Li Qing casually. When they saw the sword in Li Qing's hand, they were a little dazed. After a while, their eyes moved to the remaining two people.

"Who is Lao Dutou?" The person who spoke was a little thin.

Shopkeeper Du is a businessman after all, and the people who come in are customers after all. He smiled apologetically and said, "Are you two going to buy a coffin?"

"If you don't buy a coffin when you come here, why do you want to drink?" The man in gray clothes who spoke was a bit fat. He held his sword in his arms, stared at the wine jar on the small wooden table, and wrinkled his nose.

"There are indeed people drinking here, and the wine seems to taste pretty good," the thin man said.

"When do you two want it?" Shopkeeper Du was still very polite.

"Now!" Li Qing could tell from the tone of his voice that the fat man was the attentive person who just spoke.

When such people meet their masters, they usually speak in a condescending manner, but as long as they turn their heads, they can be more ferocious than wild dogs wandering the streets.

"Time seems to be a little tight. It will take at least two days to do it now." Shopkeeper Du was still very polite.

"When you die, do you have to wait for your coffin to be ready before you die?" The fat man frowned, a little angry.

The blind man who liked to talk was silent at the moment. Li Qing saw that his face became ugly and he held the pole tightly in his hand.

"There are so many here, why don't you sell them to us? You are afraid that the uncle will have no money." The thin man glanced under the greenhouse and said coldly.

Shopkeeper Du pondered for a while and said: "Others have already paid a deposit for the goods here. If you need it, I can only pick it up in two days."

"Do you know who we are? I can take whatever I need whenever I want," the fat man said fiercely.

This man was not afraid of making his tongue flutter when he spoke loudly. Li Qing felt happy because he had just witnessed Shopkeeper Du's skill.

If this person hadn't been willing to endure the humiliation and bear the burden, there might have been two people lying here now.

Shopkeeper Du still smiled and said: "I'm afraid this is not good. The person who came to hand over the deposit is also an uncle, so we are very scared."

"Who is more arrogant than us? Speak up and let me listen." The thin man had three words written all over his face, he was not happy!

"This uncle has a great reputation. I'm afraid you will be scared if I tell you." Shopkeeper Du said.

The fat man and the thin man looked at each other, and their eyes drifted to Li Qing. He was the only foreign guest here.

"Did you order the goods?" The fat man looked at Li Qing and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, completely showing disdain. In his eyes, Li Qing seemed to be a wandering swordsman on the street.

"I don't need it!" Li Qing was a little disgusted with this person. To put it in the simplest sentence, this kind of person definitely deserves a beating.

"Who are the guests you are talking about?" The thin man suddenly changed his tone and said politely to Shopkeeper Du.

"It's not him. There's no need for a blind man. This uncle is a bald monk." Shopkeeper Du said.

"The monk is already a bald monk, why do you insist on saying he is a bald monk?" The thin man continued to ask, straightening his back.

Li Qing smiled immediately.

Among the friends I know, there is only one person who likes to be called the bald monk. Perhaps except for this person, no one likes the big coffin.

Maybe the sound here was too loud. People outside the yard heard the sound here, and a strong voice floated over, "You are talking about Monk Hua."

Shopkeeper Du just smiled and said nothing.

"Didn't you hear what I said?" the fat man shouted with a sullen face.

Li Qing has seen a lot of dogs that can wag their tails, but he has never seen this kind of person. He only treats his master with courtesy, but treats others like a mad dog.

In his eyes, he can only see his master, and every word of his master is an order. No matter what kind of person is in front of him, as long as he has a little resistance to his master.

The sword you hold in your arms will be drawn out immediately.

"The person who came is Monk Hua, and Lao Du really doesn't dare to give his goods to others." Shopkeeper Du raised his head and said loudly to the people outside the yard.

"Sure enough, it's this bald monk again. I guessed it right." The person outside the courtyard said.

Li Qing carefully identified the voice of this man for a long time. Although his voice was familiar to Li Qing, he was still not sure.

There are always people who don't like to show up. Li Qing thought of the masked man who always wore a mask. He came and left very quickly every time.

And always leaving some mysteries in Li Qing's heart.

Li Qing was suddenly shocked when he addressed himself this time. This was the man in black he met at night. The two words "I" sounded particularly familiar.

"Monk Hua has already used a lot of his goods. If you like it, why don't you come in and take a look?" Li Qing's sudden voice surprised the four people present. The people outside the yard were silent for a moment and said in a loud voice: "Inside

Is this Young Master Li Li Qing?"

"It's Li Qing. Don't you want to come in and talk about old times?" Li Qing said loudly.

There was silence outside the courtyard. Perhaps the people who arrived did not expect to meet Li Qing here. His silence had already told Li Qing.

After a moment of conversation, Li Qing saw the fat man and thin man in front of him, and his expressions immediately changed. Their necks seemed to have been caught by someone's hands, and their yellow faces gradually began to turn blue.

Not only did the person not say a word, but he even began to breathe thickly.

"Are you Li Qing?" The fat man stared blankly at the sword in Li Qing's hand.

"Who are you two?" Li Qing rubbed his nose with his hand.

No matter who they are, judging from their appearance, they must be from the so-called Jianghu gang. If there is a misunderstanding with them, it will definitely be another kind of trouble.

So Li Qing tried his best to be polite.

The thin man glanced sideways at Li Qing, looked at him with disbelief, and said, "You have the fastest sword in the world?"

The fat man quickly added, "We are brothers of the Hu family. You can probably tell from the swords in our hands."

Li Qing thought about it carefully. There were never these two people in his memory. Who they were, Li Qing didn't want to find out.

This kind of person is like a gambler who walks into a gambling house. There are all kinds of people who come here every day. When they walk in, they all like to be domineering.

It was the people outside the courtyard that made Li Qing curious. The moment he finished speaking, he did not enter the courtyard. He seemed to be worried about something in his heart.

Li Qing felt that he did not need to answer these two people's words, and at this moment a sentence floated in from outside the yard.

"Since Young Master Li is here, how can we disturb Young Master Li's pleasure? We will see you tomorrow." The people outside the yard suddenly said loudly again.

Li Qing laughed loudly: "Here is the best 'Shao Knife' in the Western Regions. Don't you want to come in and taste it?"

"You'd better speak in a lower voice and learn to be polite to our master." The most unpleasant words floated into Li Qing's ears.

This was the fat man talking, and he had quite a temper. The sword in his arms fell into his hand, and he became a little excited.

If it were somewhere else, Li Qing might have wanted to slap this person, but now the blind man and Shopkeeper Du are here.

They had chosen a peaceful life. If they were impulsive, the trouble would definitely involve them, so Li Qing chose to be patient.

"Why don't you answer our words? Do you look down on us?" The thin man suppressed his words.

"Li Qingjiu didn't know many friends in the gambling house. You two don't like coming to the gambling house. I really can't remember it." Li Qing said slowly.

Li Qing didn't want to compliment or offend these two people.

A person who couldn't speak told the truth, but the truth is always unpleasant to hear. Many people don't like to hear others tell the truth.

Good medicine tastes bitter, but the truth is hard to hear.

People who don't like to hear the truth changed their expression instantly. He slowly picked up the sword in his hand. This was the thin man. The thin man said: "I heard that your sword is the fastest. I would like to try it today."

Li Qing smiled lightly and said, "I don't dare! My sword is not the fastest sword."

The thin man looked at Li Qing with eyes like a mad cow and said sternly: "Do you think we are not worthy of you pulling out the sword in your hand?"

Li Qing was silent.
