Chapter 15 Blind Date
(Please collect and recommend)
Among the adopted sons, Hu Guiqi, the sixteenth-hand man with the strongest martial arts skills, is still in a coma, while Hu Guimiao, the twenty-fourth-hand man, tells the story of the encounter with Fu.
Their group of three arrived in Taiyuan half a month ago and stayed for several days. After completing the task, they returned to Beijing. On the way, they received news that their adoptive father died and rushed back without stopping, but did not stay overnight.
Early this morning, it was a time of exhaustion. They were surrounded by a forest land more than ten miles north of Beijing, with no villages and shops in front of them, and some distance from several large military camps. They were ambushed.
There was only one ambush.
This man was wearing a mask in black, holding two swords, and first shot three arrows in the dark. He obviously knew the adopted son of the Zhao family very well and knew that Shiliulang was the strongest, so he pointed the arrow at Hu Guiqi.
Hu Guiqi was caught off guard, blocked two arrows, was shot by the third arrow, and fell to the ground.
The ambush appeared and came to fight with a knife. The other two adopted sons dismounted and tried their best to protect the Sixteenth Brother. They were injured respectively. When they were about to be unable to hold on, Wulang Hu Gui rushed over and saved the lives of the three. Seeing that there were many people, the ambush immediately fled.
The twenty-four-rogue Hu Guimiao felt that the ambush had a kind face at that time. She didn't remember who it was along the way. Suddenly, she saw Hu Guiyang, the third and sixth brother in the crowd, and her suspicion was confirmed.
"It's you!" The twenty-four Lang Hu Guimiao pointed at the third and sixth brothers, his arms trembling slightly, "It's your eyes and your laughter, I...you...why?"
"I'm bored, just be happy to kill a few brothers." Hu Guiyang showed his inappropriate smile again.
The fifth brother Hu Gui rushed to the front and said, "Brother Sanliu, don't talk nonsense. Brother Two and Fourth, you must have made a mistake. Brother Three and Six have been in the capital. I saw him yesterday. Besides, do you think he has the ability to shoot and injure Brother Sixteen, and then fight with you again?"
Twenty-four Lang Hu Guimiao was speechless for a moment. They grew up together and knew each other best. If we say that Hu Guiyang has a bad intention, some people believe it. He suddenly had a strong martial arts skills and no one believed it. Hu Guimiao thought about it carefully and couldn't believe it. "Maybe... I saw it wrong, I'm sorry..."
Hu Guiyang stopped doing it, "Second and fourth brother, think about it again, maybe it's me. The fifth brother said that I was not capable enough, but two days ago, who would have thought that the maid Xiao Mudan was a master? Maybe I also secretly became a disciple and learned a lot of kung fu, or even magic..."
"Enough, Brother Sanliu, please say a few words." The fifth brother Hu Gui said fiercely, and winked at Ambassador Hu Gui of the third brother, "Go back to your room to rest, you don't need to help here."
Hu Guiyang retreated to the door and shouted to all the brothers in the hall: "Be careful, I may turn into a demon fox at any time, killing people without blinking, and recognizing my relatives..."
Hu Guida pushed Hu Guiyang out, and when he walked to the place where no one was around, he whispered: "Brother Sanliu, what's wrong with you?"
"Tell the truth, but unfortunately no one likes to listen to the truth."
Another group of people ran in from outside the gate. The first one was the eldest brother Hu Guishen. He obviously didn't go to Chengxi Factory. He glanced at Hu Guiyang, said nothing, and went straight to the front hall to visit the injured brother.
Hu Gui advised: "The second and fourth brother said it was a bit too much. He actually said you were an assassin in front of so many people, but don't be angry, he was also confused for a moment, and everyone would not believe his words."
"If you don't believe it now, you will believe it later." Hu Guiyang walked out, "Even you, Brother Sanjiu, you will believe that I am a demon fox in the future."
"Brother Sanliu, where are you going?"
"Go out and stroll, find a secluded place, turn into a demon fox, kill someone or something."
Hu Gui stomped his feet and quickly followed, "I'll send Brother Sanliu home."
“Which home?”
"Home to the north, your own home."
"I'm going south."
The two left Zhao's house and walked silently on the quiet street. Seeing that they were almost at the entrance of the alley, Hu Gui Avenue said: "Go to the second uncle's house and sit for a while. You should always believe his words."
"Looking for him is to harm him, I won't go." Hu Guiyang kept stepping down, "Brother Sanjiu, you don't have to follow me. It's too dangerous. Maybe the next person I want to kill is you."
"Brother Sanliu, what's going on?" Hu Gui was very angry. "Since yesterday, you have been saying strange things, saying that others will treat you as a demon fox, but no one said that. Even if Brother No. 2 and Fourth, he did not mention the word "demon fox."
The two of them had already walked out of the alley, and Hu Guiyang walked south along the street, "The time has not arrived, and when the time has arrived, what happened these days is evidence. It has spread now. Is it said that I fought with the demon fox for 300 rounds? In just one step, I will become a demon fox and chase the leaker at night."
"How is that possible?" Hu Gui was extremely surprised, not understanding why Brother Sanliu had such a strange idea. "The scene at that time... I saw it with my own eyes, and Brother Wu and the others also saw it."
"You may not be able to survive until that day. Even if you live, you will not be able to resist the violent words."
The two walked side by side for a while, and Hu Guida said: "Isn't there anyone that Brother Sanliu believes?"
"I only believe in dead people." Hu Guiyang suddenly laughed a few times, which attracted passers-by to look at him. He didn't care at all, "It was me, and someone actually chose me as a demon fox. It's interesting, it's really interesting."
Hu Gui frowned and accompanied Brother Sanliu, "You are such a weird guy, Brother Sanliu."
Hu Guiyang opened his eyes and then raised his lips, "This is the reason, Brother Sanjiu, you hit a reason."
"Ah? What's the reason?"
"Why did I be chosen as a demon fox? Because I am a weird person, because I don't live in Guanyin Temple Hutong. The day before my adoptive father's name was mentioned, which was a stroke of great success. I can't even choose me."
"You even doubt your adoptive father, Brother Sanliu..."
Hu Guiyang stopped and showed a serious expression, "I don't doubt my father, but his father will be exploited. He said that behind all the incredible things, what lies hidden is not ghosts and gods, but greedy hearts."
"Who do you doubt?"
"Everyone is possible. Brother and fifth brother must be willing to sacrifice a group of brothers in order to maintain their position or to rise a few more levels. The Jinyiwei Nanshi has not found a demon for so many years. Lord Yuan wants to win the favor of His Majesty, and the East Factory and the West Factory are fighting for power and power. They all need to establish a magical achievement. Even you, Brother Sanjiu, if you can catch a demon fox, you will definitely be able to reach the top."
"Brother Sanliu, are you thinking about everyone... too bad?"
"Human greed is what my adoptive father taught us. He also said that the most failed thing in his life was that he was too successful in capturing fake demons and fairies, and he did not leave any of them behind. He cut off many people's financial paths and promotion paths, and sooner or later he would be retaliated. Sometimes I think, maybe my adoptive father chose his death date, so that his enemies had nowhere to take revenge."
After leaving Chongwenmen, the road quickly became narrower, and the alleys on both sides were even more unorganized. Although they lived in the capital for many years, they did not recognize the road and could only ask while walking.
"Brother Sanliu is going to Baoqing Hutong?" Hu Guida felt that Brother Sanliu was even more and more strange.
"Well, it is said that there is a He family living there, and I want to marry my daughter."
Hu Gui opened his mouth wide, took several steps before he came to his senses, and smiled and said, "I really thought Brother Sanliu was crazy. It turned out that you were going to see your wife. You lied to me so miserably."
Hu Guiyang just laughed, and did not express his doubts.
Baoqing Hutong is not long, and you can almost see the end at a glance. Most of the houses are low and messy, and there are no rich families. Matchmaker Zhang claims that the He family owns the entire alley, and even if it is true, it cannot be called "He Million".
There was a cake shop in front of me. Hu Guiyang was a little hungry and went in to ask for a few big cakes. The store was narrow and the tables and chairs were dirty. The two brothers stood in front of the counter and ate the cakes with a plate of pickles and two bowls of water.
After almost the meal, Hu Guiyang asked, "Shopkeeper, do you think the He family lives nearby?"
The shopkeeper is a short old man, his clothes are covered with patches, dirty, and he seems to have never washed them before, and his ears are a little uncomfortable, "Ah, who?"
"He family." Hu Guiyang raised his voice.
"There are several He families in the alley."
Hu Gui laughed and said, "The He family is about to marry her daughter."
The shopkeeper raised his eyes and glanced at the guest, shook his head and said, "No, the He family here has no daughter."
Hu Guida turned cold and said, "Old man, eat your cake, we will give you money. If you ask you, you'd better answer honestly. Otherwise, we'll ask him if you come to the village chief."
Although Hu Guida is not a Jinyiwei, he often follows his adoptive father and brothers to do business, with his own official accent, which is very useful when he is fooling people.
The shopkeeper was vague and a smile appeared on his face, "Oh, I remembered it. I walked eastward when I went out. There was a He family at the end of the alley. I heard that there seemed to be a daughter."
Hu Guida threw a handful of copper coins on the counter, "Old man, wash clothes occasionally, wash your hands, there is a smell of earth in your cake."
"Yes, the old man often washes clothes, but there is a lot of wind and dust here. There is no way, there is no way."
The two brothers walked out of the cake shop, and Hu Gui frowned and said, "Brother Sanliu, who told you about his dear, it doesn't seem like there is any good family here."
"Matchmaker Zhang."
"Hey, she still has this leisure, when I go to find her...ahem."
"Haha, it must be because you have too high demands. I didn't ask for it. I never looked for matchmaker Zhang. She came to me and said that the girl from the He family dreamed of me and would not marry me."
The more Hu Guida heard, the more something was wrong, "Brother Sanliu, are you here to go on a blind date, are you here... to catch monsters?"
"In the future, this family will be an important evidence for me to become a demon fox, so of course I will come and have a look."
"Brother Sanliu, don't you know about matchmaker Zhang's mouth? No word is credible. She probably heard that you have become a hundred households, so she deliberately pleased you."
"If you want to please me, just say that the He family is rich and the beautiful daughter is enough. Why do you have to make up this dream? Matchmaker Zhang loves to make up words, but after making up the composition, there are only a few routines. When did you learn new tricks?"
Hu Guida couldn't answer, so he had to say, "When you arrive at the He family, Brother Sanliu, don't speak first, I'll go and inquire."
"Um."
There were children playing on the street, and Hu Gui grabbed one, "Where is the He family?"
The child didn't ask which He family, and pointed, "It's that, it's not close to anyone's family. Are you here to tell fortunes?"
"No." Hu Gui was a little surprised. Their brothers specifically captured liars who pretended to be a ghost. It was not unaware that the matchmaker Zhang actually wanted Brother Sanliu to marry the daughter of a fortune teller.
"Oh, then are you looking for He Sanjie or He Wu crazy?"
"It should be... He Sanjie." Hu Gui was not sure. He just heard the name and felt that this family was not worthy of Brother Sanliu.
The child laughed and said, "Just relying on you two, you still have a chance of winning with Madman He Wu. If you look for Sister He San, you will be beaten."
