Chapter 53: Bafang Attack (4)
"Do you need a reason to get drunk? When do you want to wait until you get drunk?" Shadow asked. He wanted to know this reason, and this reason aroused Shadow's curiosity.
"I want to wait for someone, and I can't get drunk until this person comes," Li Qing said his reason, which was very unique.
"Is there anyone else coming here?" Shadow looked around, but he didn't find the person he wanted to see.
"He is actually very tired. He probably doesn't want to sleep on the roof alone. Besides, there is the best wine in the Western Regions here," Li Qing looked at the skylight of the living room.
Shadow remembered that he fell from this skylight. He didn't like to go through Liu Dazi's door. He now kind of hates this door. This door has betrayed him. The person coming through this door now should be the enemy.
"Young Master Li is Young Master Li, you have a good nose, your nose is as sensitive as a hunting dog," a voice now came from the sky window.
"I drank Liu Mazi's wine, but I smelled 'burning knives'. You smell like 'burning knives'," Li Qing looked at the skylight.
Li Qing knew that someone would definitely fall out of this skylight. This person liked to drink Shao Dao Zi, and he smelled of wine.
The shadow laughed when he heard the voice. He said to the skylight, "Do you want to hang in the sky? There is a bright moon in the sky now."
"There shouldn't be a crescent moon hanging in the sky now. This moon is not good," Li Qing said with a smile.
Ning'er heard a strange name again and saw this strange person. This person was an old man she was familiar with. He also fell from the skylight. Ning'er felt that these people didn't like to take the main entrance.
"I also want to hang in the sky, but it's a pity that no one gave me this opportunity," Zhang Fan said with a smile as he fell down. When he saw Ning'er, he showed curiosity.
Ning'er just nodded her head as a greeting. She immediately remembered the old man's words, 'You once married with your own fingers.' This sentence was deeply ingrained in Ning'er's heart.
"What hangs in the sky is not just the crescent moon, but also the stars. It is also a beautiful scenery," Li Qing said.
"It's a pity that tonight is very unlucky. I don't have the heart to see this scenery," Zhang Fan stopped laughing and sighed.
"What did you see? So unlucky," Li Qing asked. Li Qing wanted to know the answer, but when he heard Zhang Fan's words, he felt that it was unlucky. These words would become a nightmare tonight.
"I saw a man hanging on a tree at the entrance of the village. There was a man standing in front of him. He seemed to be waiting to collect this man's body," Zhang Fan said with sadness.
"This scenery just doesn't look good, and I don't want to see it." Li Qing felt that he had asked too many questions, and he did not expect this result.
The person who hanged himself must be Liu Mazi, and the one who stands has his arm broken. Liu Mazi did not die under his opponent's sword, nor did he die under his opponent's sword, but died in his own greed for fame and wealth.
"You already know the result?" Shadow asked.
"I don't know, but I can think of it. If a person lives so hard that he doesn't even bother to kill his friends, his life is meaningless," Li Qing replied.
This may be the sadness of living. Li Qing did not want to think about such a result, but it had already happened. He did not expect that Liu Mazi would choose such a way to die.
"Actually, this is good. There is still someone willing to collect the body for him. This is also the best destination for him in life," Shadow said and took another sip of wine.
Li Qing felt that this was the sorrow of Jianghu! This sorrow may continue forever. He looked at the sword in his hand, could this sword be fame and fortune?
"This story is not good to hear. The ending of this story is a tragedy," Li Qing glanced at Ning'er. Ning'er's eyebrows began to condense and she sighed softly.
She is still a sentimental girl! Li Qing discovered another side of Ning'er, which is a personality rather than a cold-faced person.
Ning'er stood up, walked to the candle in the room, and carefully fiddled with the candle. The living room suddenly became brighter.
The time began to become quiet, and the air in the room was filled with silence.
"You came just in time, you remind me of an old friend," Shadow was still sitting on the bed, holding the second wine skin in his hand. Shadow's words broke the silence for a moment.
"Who are you thinking of at this late hour?" It was Li Qing who spoke this time.
"A friend who likes to hide wine. He has a lot of 'shao knives' and he only drinks for his friends, but he is also a stingy person," Shadow said and took a sip of wine.
"I know this friend. He is a fair-weather friend. You can pay back the money by drinking his wine," Li Qing looked at Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan didn't have the 'burning knife' he wanted in his hand, but the smell of alcohol on his body was very strong, as if this man had just walked out of a brewing workshop.
"A person always has his own habits, and his habits are not very good," Zhang Fan said.
"Do you also know this person?" Li Qing asked back.
"He should change his name. He should be called 'Jianghu Yijiajiu'. This name is also nice," Zhang Fan said in a regretful tone.
"You have a habit of drinking. You smell of alcohol on your body, but you didn't drink today." Shadow put down the wine bag in his hand and slowly turned his head.
His eyes looked at Zhang Fan, and he understood what Li Qing said. This Zhang Fan did not drink, but he smelled of wine, which came from his friend's wine cellar.
The smell of this wine was very familiar to Li Qing. He had tasted this wine in a very peculiar wine cellar. In this wine cellar, he also learned a story that no one else knew.
"Isn't it the first time you met in the private room of Zuixian Tower? Maybe you have known each other before?" Zhang Fan's smile began to shrink.
He felt that the Li Qing in front of him was too mysterious. Everything was as expected. This young man was a bit scary. What was scary was the sword in his hand.
"Your blacksmith shop is in the West Village. Didn't you know Liu Mazi before?" Li Qing asked again.
"I know him, but he doesn't know me," Zhang Fan answered quickly.
"I forgot that he is a person who values fame and fortune. All he values are people with status."
"I'm just an ordinary blacksmith. He doesn't see a little person like me in his eyes."
"He didn't realize that you are actually a big shot."
"I'm just a little person. My identity is just a blacksmith in Xicunkou."
"Did you make the iron shoes for him?"
"I also made a pair of murderous scissors for Mr. Ma of the tailor shop."
"It's a pity that he didn't think that you were the Crescent Moon when he died." After Li Qing finished asking these questions, he looked at the shadow. He knew that the shadow had many problems.
"We just know each other. I didn't go looking for you when I came to Guzhou. I hid in the home of this friend who likes to store wine. His wine cellar is very deep. I have been living in his home. I know this wine cellar." Shadow.
Standing up, he jumped out of bed, holding the sword that belonged to him in his hand.
Li Qing thought of Su Hai's painting studio, which was very cozy. It turned out that the shadow lived in this painting studio, but the shadow did not smell like the wine in the cellar.
Zhang Fan didn't answer the shadow's words. He just looked at the shadow that jumped out of bed and the sword in his hand. The scabbard of the sword was made of gold and shone with golden light under the candlelight.
"Do you think I am a traitor like Liu Mazi?" Zhang Fan asked Shadow, and he asked very directly.
"Lonely shadow, heartbroken scimitar, one of us has betrayed the sect master. I want to know who this person is?" Li Qing was very surprised by the shadow's words.
Li Qing had already seen these four people. They all appeared in Guzhou City. Together they killed the 'Scissors' couple and a guy who used a small kitchen knife. This guy was hiding in Zuixian Tower.
"Now you suspect that I am a traitor?" Zhang Fan's tone began to change. His eyes looked at the shadow holding the sword. Zhang Fan knew that the shadow's sword was very fast.
"I just know that there is a traitor in the West Village. You happen to live in the West Village, and you made an iron foot for Liu Mazi." Shadow's words were cold. He looked at Zhang Fan's hand, and there was no scimitar in his hand.
"He is not a traitor. He is my drinking buddy today. We should drink first," Li Qing suddenly interrupted their conversation.
"You want to get involved in our affairs? If so, you are a big fool," Zhang Fan turned his eyes to Li Qing, who was also very fast with his sword.
This man's sword is known as the fastest sword in the world!
"I'm not a fool, and I can't be such a fool. It's not autumn tonight, but I feel like it's a troubled autumn." After Li Qing finished speaking, he picked up a wine skin and handed it to Zhang Fan.
"Do you want to try my sword?" Shadow seemed unwilling to give up his pursuit. He was a little unhappy when he heard Li Qing's words.
"I don't want to," Li Qing shook his head.
"You are just an idiot!" Shadow's sword suddenly struck out. His sword had already been unsheathed, and his sword suddenly stabbed Li Qing on the bed.
Ning'er's eyes widened. She didn't understand why Shadow suddenly wanted to kill Li Qing. But she saw Shadow's sword stabbing Li Qing who was sitting on the bed.
Li Qing held his sword in his hand. His sword was not unsheathed, and his figure did not float out. He was still sitting on the bed, and he saw the sword thrust by the shadow.
The sword was very fast, but it did not stab Li Qing's throat. The moment Shadow's sword was thrust out, his wrist turned and Shadow's sword was inserted straight into the wine skin on the bed.
, his sword turned in a circle on the wine skin so viciously.
The rich and fragrant wine suddenly gushes out, and the room is once again filled with the smell of this Western wine, which has a refreshing fragrance.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Shadow suddenly retracted his sword.
"Not afraid!" Li Qing still shook his head.
"We are two ignorant old men, and you are just an ignorant idiot," Zhang Fan suddenly laughed when he saw Shadow's sword, and he said this with a smile.
Zhang Fan walked out of the living room with a smile. He looked up at the moon in the sky. His laughter was under the bright moon. He smiled very happily.
