Chapter Twelve Looks Old-fashioned

As the blood stains appeared on Zhao Ran's cheek, the string suddenly lit up, but quickly returned to its original dark color. This process was so short that Zhao Ran almost thought it was an illusion.

Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment, and gradually realized that the scene just now was definitely not an illusion!

He picked up one end of the thin rope and looked at it carefully. The head of the rope was as thick as an embroidery needle before crossing - in fact, the entire thin rope was like a large embroidery needle that had been lengthened more than ten times. Zhao Ran didn't think much about it.

He gritted his teeth and poked hard on his finger!

The string pierced his finger, and then the whole body emitted a bright light again. The light gradually turned white, and the entire string became extremely transparent. Zhao Ran was horrified to see a wisp of blood entering the string along his finger, and from the string

The head has been rushing towards the end of the rope. This blood line is so clear, it is like a thermometer used in the world before traveling, no, a needle used for drawing blood!

This thing is sucking blood!

Zhao Ran's first reaction was to shake off the thin rope, but he found that he couldn't shake it off no matter what. He could only watch the blood line extending to the other end of the thin rope...

Then, as if the string had "fed its fill," the string head fell off from Zhao Ran's finger and gradually returned to its original dark, mottled color. Looking at his finger again, there was no trace of the wound.

The process was very short, and in just a moment, Zhao Ran was sweating profusely.

Recognizing the owner by dripping blood? Wouldn't it be that cliche? Zhao Ran tried to play with the string again, straightening it...rolling it into a roll...tying a buckle...as a skipping rope...there was nothing abnormal at all. He was on his arm

Twist it hard - could it be a dream?

Suddenly a wave of sleepiness came to his mind, and Zhao Ran didn't have time to do anything - such as hiding the thin rope, he fell directly on the bed and fell asleep.

This wave of sleepiness came and went in a strange way. Zhao Ran suddenly woke up. In other words, he was woken up.

"King of Earth! Heaven is high and nine! Haha, kill them all!"

"How could this be?"

"Mom, I've already been ruined. Is there any justice?"



Zhao Ran didn't understand Pai Gow, but the noise in his ears clearly indicated that he was at the gambling table. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the room was still dark, and there was no one around... Hey, why is this darkness so penetrating?

Even the gray socks of Zou Zou Baba in the corner are clearly visible?

As soon as Zhao Ran was distracted, the noise in his ears immediately disappeared, and he could only vaguely hear someone at the gambling table in the north room still cursing. He listened intently again, and the noise of the group of people echoed in his ears again. He even

I could hear Jiao Tan's fierce venting of anger mixed with it: "Your mother!"

Zhao Ran connected the thin rope with the scene in front of him, and suddenly he was so happy that he wanted to hit the wall, this damn baby!

Zhao Ran ran out of the courtyard gate happily, and came to the garden in the northwest corner of Wuji Courtyard. Beyond the wall is the Wuji Mountain. Few people come at night. It is a remote place, with rockery peaks and shady bamboos and peaches. The most beautiful place is

A perfect place to experiment with magic weapons.

Holding your breath, all the thoughts in your mind were immersed in the string, then you aimed at a peach tree, exerted your strength with your arms, and shouted "Go!" The string flew out in the direction pointed by your arm, and then...

Then it hit the peach tree trunk softly and landed quietly...

Zhao Ran inspected the part of the peach tree that was hit, and there was no trace at all.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Ran stretched out his bare hands towards the thin rope that fell under the tree, and then suddenly pulled it back in the air.

"rise!"

"receive!"

"return!"

"Your uncle!"

….

"Long! Long!..."

"Short! Short!..."

"I'll do it!..."

After a while, Zhao Ran danced the thin rope on his head, his hand speed became faster and faster, and then he started running around the rockery, his feet kept accelerating... accelerating... continuing to accelerate...

Half an hour later, a dark figure jumped down from the top of the rockery, its sleeves fluttering...

"Ouch, mud horse!"

Zhao Ran panted and looked at the inconspicuous string in his hand, his eyes filled with anger that was about to burst into flames. What kind of bullshit? You don’t know anything, so what’s the use of you! He tried to throw it away, but in the end he couldn’t.

Reluctant to give up, he spit on the ground and turned back with hatred.

Accompanied by the bright moon hanging on the treetops, Zhao Ran walked back in disgrace, thinking as he walked, how could this treasure be so miserable? Is it really that it only makes people's ears and eyesight, and the rest is useless? What if this treasure is a relic of the immortal family?

How great would it be? I can go straight up to the sky to see the bright moon. Why do I need to keep cleaning the toilet?

Just as he was regretting, there were sudden sounds of rapid footsteps outside the moon cave door. Zhao Ran felt something strange in his heart and was startled. He was inside the moon cave door at the moment and was about to step out of the garden. In order to avoid running into him head on, he had to look for someone nearby.

His figure was hidden behind a bush at the front.

However, he saw two figures flashing in in the dark night. If it were Zhao Ran before, he might only be able to vaguely see the outline of the person, but now he had a chance encounter, and he could be said to have sharp ears and eyes, and he could see the appearance of the two people at a glance.

Be clear.

The person in front of him had a deer-headed and rat-like figure and a wretched figure, while the person behind him had a handsome face, but was very feminine. Zhao Ran seemed to have seen these two people before, and after thinking about it, he probably met them while dining in the restaurant.

I just don’t know who the last name is.

The wretched man was in front and the feminine man was behind. They hurriedly came to the wall of the garden. The wretched man put his fingers under his lips and whistled. There was an immediate response from outside the wall, and a rope was thrown into the wall.

Although the distance was seventeen or eighty feet, Zhao Ran saw it very clearly and secretly muttered in his heart, "Hey, baby, isn't this the rhythm of the robbers who want to break the stronghold?"

Zhao Ran was obviously too influenced by the novel, his thoughts were as messy and erratic as the wind, and his speculations were quite unreliable. The wretched man put the rope on his arm and tightened it, and saw that someone had indeed climbed in along the rope, but he

Just one person.

This man was dressed in short clothes and looked particularly capable. He jumped into the garden, and his posture was obviously not a minute and a half better than when Zhao Ran was testing the magic weapon.

"Xue Laosi, why are you here? Where is Lao Liu?" asked the wretched man.

"Brother Jin, Lao Liu is sick, so I can only make this trip. Guan Er recognizes me, and he is afraid that something bad might happen to him by mistake, so we can only make an appointment at this place."

"I understand. This is Young Master Zhang, a good friend I made in Wuji Courtyard. You two should learn from each other more."

The feminine man and Xue Laosi nodded to each other and chatted enthusiastically for a few words. Xue Laosi took out two long rectangular wooden strips from his arms.

Although Zhao Ran was far away, he still stuck his head and tried his best to see clearly. These two things were exactly two Pai Gow.

Just listen to Xue Laosi say: "Look clearly, between the three points on the bottom, the left is longer and the right is shorter. Use this to distinguish them. Don't get confused...here, there are two protrusions on the side, you guys try...

…”

The wretched man and Mr. Zhang each took a card and slowly fumbled around, only to hear Xue Laosi continue: "Press these two protrusions at the same time, and the three points on the card will be flipped in... Press once.

Flip this point, flip this point twice, flip this point three times...this card can change three points!"

Mr. Zhang tried it and exclaimed: "It's wonderful!"

The wretched man chuckled and said, "The Xue family's craftsmanship is nothing to say!"

Xue Laosi held the rope in his hand, stepped onto the eaves of the wall in two steps, and turned around to say hello: "I wish you both great profits, Xue will take the first step!"

The wretched man nodded and said, "Don't worry, fourth, I will deliver the money when I come down from the mountain at the end of October."

Xue Laosi smiled: "Brother Jin's family has a great business, I can trust him!" After that, he climbed down the wall and left.

This matter seems to be related to the second brother Guan. It sounds like the wretched man and Mr. Zhang are setting up a trap to trick the second brother Guan. The second brother Guan has a very unfriendly attitude towards Zhao Ran, and Zhao Ran is happy to see this happen.

But even though he had nothing to do with him, he couldn't just eavesdrop on someone else's secret and then leave in a big way, so he had to wait patiently for the two of them to leave the garden before carefully returning to the west room.

The card game in the Beiwu had ended, and it was obvious that Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai had lost again. Jiao Tan kept complaining about his bad luck, while Zhou Huai sat by the bed with a cold face, saying nothing.

Jiao Tan's nagging finally ended with "I heard that Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze have an appointment with brother Guan Er to play cards tomorrow. With Guan Er's recent luck, I'm afraid he will make a fortune."

Hearing these words, Zhao Ran couldn't help but chuckle to himself, he'll be damned if Guan Er doesn't cry tomorrow!

At the beginning of the night, Zhao Ran put on ragged clothes and a short coat, and continued his depressing career as a sweeper.
