After Xie Run stood up, he pretended to be quite straightforward, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, and said: "Uh... I thought about it, brother, since you have good intentions, I shouldn't refuse people thousands of miles away.
Outside, so I... might as well come over."
As he spoke, he walked over.
Others didn't think much of it, but when Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai saw this, they immediately looked at each other, their eyes seeming to say - Got it.
In the eyes of these two treacherous and cunning guys, Xie Run is a very calm person. Combined with his appearance, even if they cannot detect his inner strength, they are still 70-80% sure that he is Jiang Hu.
middle man.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you are a member of the Jianghu. As long as you don't show any obvious hostility, then you won't criticize us if you don't criticize us. We just don't offend each other.
But now Xie Run suddenly changed his attitude because of Sun Yixie's "inconvenience" and became a little "unruly", which revealed a lot of information.
How cunning are Sun and Huang? They figured it out after thinking about it for a moment: This strong man was carrying two bundles, both of which were not big. One was carried on his back and the other was held in his hand. Why is this? Even though
It is something that must be packed separately, so you can also pack it separately and put it into a large baggage? Taking a step back, you can carry the two baggage on your back at the same time according to the size...
You won't be aware of this kind of detail if you don't think about it carefully, but if you already have doubts, you can figure it out as soon as you think about it.
At that moment, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai thought almost at the same time - there must be something very valuable in the baggage in this strong man's hand.
Maybe some people will ask, no matter how expensive it is, how much is it worth? Brother Sun and Brother Huang have at least several thousand taels of banknotes in their luggage, and they are not so guarded about it, right?
But there is no comparison...
For example: For a rich man, he may not take it seriously if he loses a few taels of silver and forget about it soon, but for a poor man, a few dozen pennies can scare him to death.
Even forced to death.
The current situation is similar to this: for Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie, a few thousand taels is indeed not a small amount, and they cannot be thrown away casually. But if they really lose it, they will not do anything. At most, they will be angry for a while.
, when I figured it out, Bento learned a lot from the mistakes he made.
But for Xie Run, the escort, if the things in the bag were lost...even if it was only worth a penny, he would still be unable to deliver.
If it were an ordinary escort who lost his dart, that would be okay, but as the third person in Yiyong Escort Agency, you, Xie Run, went out personally as the "secret dart" and ended up losing it? That's not just you, Xie Run.
One person can take the blame. This is a major event that has tarnished the name of Yiyong Escort Agency.
Therefore, Xie Run had to be careful and go overboard.
"Oh... Haha, it's okay, come on, come on, sit here." Sun Yixie had no grievances against the other party, so there was no need to tell what he had guessed, so he continued to see through it.
The principle is not to tell the truth, and greet the other person as if nothing is wrong, "We are all people on the road, and we should help each other when encountering difficulties. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Hahaha."
"Hey, yes." Xie Run continued to pretend to be naive, nodded and sat down.
He sat down, but he didn't take off his clothes and didn't leave his two bundles. His state was no different from when he was sitting in the corner just now.
You can't blame him, the world is dangerous and he has to guard against it.
Who knows if the six of you are really travelers? What if the six of you and the boatman just now are all in the same group? What if you got me here through design? What if the scholar just now
Did you and the traveling businessman deliberately stage a quarrel for me to watch? What if you took advantage of the moment when I was restricted from taking off my clothes and swarmed up to attack me?
In this unfamiliar environment of isolation and helplessness, Xie Run, who was burdened with heavy responsibilities, had ten thousand possibilities in his mind, but they were not enough.
Fortunately...the dangers he expected did not happen next.
No one complained about him not taking off his clothes to warm himself by the fire. After all... he didn't have any friendship with him, so there was no need to care about him. As long as he didn't bother others, no one cared about him.
And this kind of indifference also made Xie Run relax a little - he has been in the world a lot, and he is not afraid of indifference, but afraid of enthusiasm; he is not afraid of people who show malice to you from the beginning, but afraid of people who are kind to you inexplicably.
Therefore, among the six people in front of him, the one Xie Run is most afraid of now is Sun Yixie...
Of course, as long as Brother Sun doesn't do something that makes Xie Run think there's something wrong with it first, Xie Run won't act rashly.
In this way, time passed slowly, and everyone was warming themselves by the fire and resting in a silent and depressing atmosphere.
Some of them were indeed a little tired. When they were "drifting" on the boat, everyone's body was tight. After landing, it was very tiring to brave the wind and rain all the way with wet clothes.
physical strength.
Unknowingly, the traveling businessman fell asleep on a box in his luggage.
As mentioned before, this businessman is a relatively simple and straightforward person. Although his mouth is a bit rough, his heart is not bad. This kind of person has a "big heart" and can sleep even in this environment.
.
But others are not as relaxed as him.
The scholar was narrow-minded and didn't want to sleep even though he didn't have anything of value with him; while the doctor, at his age, had seen a lot and was careful about everything and didn't dare to sleep.
I won’t explain further why Xie Run didn’t sleep.
Lei Buji, he is really not tired. After all, he is young and has high martial arts skills. Even if you let him run in the rain for two hours, he will not need to take a nap. At most, he can just exercise his martial arts and adjust his breathing for a while.
As for Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai... they originally wanted to take a nap. Since Lei Buji was awake, they were relieved. However, when they figured out that Xie Run was probably a gangster with valuables,
They couldn't sleep either.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It's not that they are worried about Xie Run's things, but that these two old bastards are like Xie Run... and start to doubt others.
What if the three guys next to me and the boatman were all in the same group? What if they got the strong man here through design and wanted to gank him? What if the scholar and the businessman just staged a quarrel on purpose?
What about showing the show to that strong man? What if they finish ganking and want to silence us too?
The rivers and lakes are dangerous, they must be on guard!
So in this silent psychological warfare, an hour passed.
Those who baked clothes also put their clothes back on.
So are the clothes completely dry? Of course not.
However, when baking clothes with fire, this time is the limit. If you continue to bake, the clothes will not feel completely dry. They will only become harder and harder, and the color will be baked more and more.
The more yellow.
At that time, except for a few extreme powerful people who did not live in the world, most people knew this kind of common sense. Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai had also lived in this universe for seventeen or eight years, so they must have known it.
After they finished putting on their clothes, they also woke up the traveling businessman and reminded him to put them on too.
By this time, everyone's condition was better; those clothes had been squeezed out before being baked, and even if they were not particularly dry after baking, they were still better than when they were first taken off. In addition, a few of them were also sitting
After staying by the fire for so long, my body became warm.
Finally, at a time when the atmosphere was quite good, Huang Donglai spoke: "Everyone, as the saying goes, meeting means fate. It is undoubtedly fate that the seven of us can gather around a fire under the same roof today. During this period,
Everyone is sitting there not talking, and I feel uncomfortable holding it in. Otherwise, how about we exchange names? If something happens later, at least everyone can call each other by their names."
As soon as he said this, the faces of the scholar, doctor, businessman and Xie Run all changed, obviously they all had their own ideas.
In order to reassure them, Huang Donglai added: "Oh, of course, I don't mean to force everyone. If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it. I can tell you first that Huang Donglai, these two are my brothers and grandchildren.
Yi Xie and Lei Buji, the three of us are all in the world."
Huang Donglai revealed his identity here for two purposes: first, he wanted to take a preemptive strike and test Xie Run's reaction; second, he also wanted to use this as an opportunity to let Xie Run understand that the three of them were not aiming for
Xie Run comes, and can even form a temporary alliance with Xie Run when there is danger.
After hearing what he said, the first person to respond was the doctor: "Well... the old man Tian Wude is a doctor who has a good reputation."
"I've met Mr. Tian." Huang Donglai seemed very polite and knowledgeable most of the time when chatting with people other than his brothers.
"Don't dare, don't dare, I'm just trying to make ends meet." Tian Wude said politely.
"Xiaosheng Kong Hengji." Seeing that someone else's name had already been announced, the scholar refused to be the last one and quickly spoke up as the second one.
Before he finished speaking, Xie Run couldn't wait to continue: "Xu Ren, he is..."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the businessman suddenly interrupted: "No, your surname is not Xu."
As soon as these words came out, the other six people were all stunned, especially Xie Run, who was so shocked that he suddenly turned around and stared at the businessman.
But I saw that the footman's eyes were completely different from those before he fell asleep. Under the firelight, his eyes were faintly glowing with green light, and his tone became very strange and confident: "
Your surname is Xie, your name is Xie Run!"
Xie Run's face darkened, and the false innocent look disappeared in an instant, replaced by a cold expression: "If I am Xie Run, then who are you?"
"Me?" When the traveler was asked this question, he suddenly laughed, "Haha...hahahaha..." His smile was extremely weird, and his words were even more creepy, "My name is Yelu Baoqi."
