Chapter 17: doorman

Views:

When Lin Shuo arrived at the scene, the old man and his donkey had already been controlled by Wei Xingshan and others.

Looking at the strong men with live ammunition beside him, the old man's face was very calm:

"Several, did I offend you?"

Wei Xingshan shook his head, pointed to Lin Shuo who happened to walk in front of the crowd, "Ask him."

The envoy of the Dragon King looked at Lin Shuo, and then at the giant recurve bow behind him, his expression changed from calm to alert.

Lin Shuo's heart moved slightly, and he asked, "Do you know who I am?"

"You are a hunter." The fear in the Dragon King's envoy's eyes flashed away.

"It seems that you are from the door, so it's easy to talk." Lin Shuo nodded, "Tell me."

The so-called family members are people who have family inheritance and engage in rare occupations.

They have abilities that ordinary people do not have, and some even have unique skills, which are considered to have crossed the threshold that ordinary people cannot see.

A hunter is a kind of person in the door.

There are high and low people in the door, bright and dark, and the thresholds they cross are not the same.

The hunting gate where Lin Shuo is located has the most hidden and highest threshold. The six families in the hunting gate only exist in legends.

And a rap artist like the old man is not actually a member of the family, he can only be said to be a member of the rivers and lakes.

Obviously, this envoy of the Dragon King is not just a simple rapper, otherwise he would not be able to guess Lin Shuo's identity.

As for which door he entered, Lin Shuo didn't know, and didn't bother to ask.

There are many thresholds in this world that ordinary people can't see, but those that can be respected by Lin Shuo, the inheritance hunter of the six families of hunting, are rare.

"The Dragon King is good!" The Dragon King's envoy's voice was a little louder, and his expression was a little excited. "The village by the river below the mountain is not done by him! You can't touch it!"

The old man seemed to have expected this day long ago. He not only saw Lin Shuo's identity, but also guessed Lin Shuo's purpose.

But this is not surprising, as long as they are in the door, they should know the existence of hunters. The reputation of the Black Water Dragon King is getting bigger and bigger, and sooner or later, hunters will come to him.

Lin Shuo said calmly, "That's not what you said in front of the villagers just now."

"Then what can I say?" The envoy of the Dragon King glared at Lin Shuo, then his momentum weakened, and he sighed, "My branch, although it has ancestral craftsmanship, is now being squeezed out of the country. Naturally, they are not as powerful as you hunters. Once the people in the sect fall into the world and don't see people talking, can they have something to eat?"

Lin Shuo looked at the four bags of flour on the donkey and said, "Okay, I believe you are talking nonsense just to make a living. Then let me ask you, how do you know that the Black Water Dragon King didn't do it?"

"When did the Dragon King do such a thing?" The envoy of the Dragon King said, "It has been here for so many years, and it only has grace for us. How can it convict us?"

Anne said at this time: "I heard people here say that you can't touch things in the water, or the Dragon Lord will punish you?"

The envoy of the Dragon King froze, looked at Lin Shuo, and said, "I lied to them. I want to make them afraid of the Dragon King. They are not afraid in their hearts, so how could they let me spread the word?" ? Where do I get any benefit from not passing on the word?"

The envoy of the Dragon King pointed to the bags of flour on the donkey while talking, with a helpless look on his face: "It's just for dinner."

"The animals that were eaten before..."

"I stole it in the middle of the night, and I used some tricks handed down from my family." The envoy of the Dragon King sighed and said, "You have to eat meat. Animals are too precious to them. alright."

Anne shook her head and said nothing more.

"Hey, girl." The envoy of the Dragon King looked at Annne and said, "You look like this, your family must be a big family in the city, I don't know that we have a hard life in the mountains.

In fact, our place is no better than Jiangnan. The government here doesn’t care about it. It’s not easy for those living in poor lands and bad waters.

People in the mountains don't want anything else but peace and safety.

I can't give them peace, but I can give them peace of mind.

It's dishonorable for me to mess with this, but they need me!

This mountain road with a radius of thousands of miles is not easy at my age!

And I don't want many things, just a long stream of water, so I can eat a lot of food. "

Speaking of this, the envoy of the Dragon King looked at Lin Shuo and said, "Lord Hunter, you are very capable. Of course, my little way of life cannot catch your eyes.

But Lord Dragon, it is indeed good. If you really killed it, it would not only be a sin, but also cut off my way of life! "

"Since you think the village at the foot of the mountain was not done by the Black Water Dragon King." Lin Shuo asked, "Who did it?"

"Where do I know where to go? To tell you the truth, I came here with trepidation. Who wouldn't be afraid if such a big thing happened

But I thought about it again, if something happened to me and I would not come, then who would trust me in the future? Wouldn't the job be smashed? This is how I came boldly. No, I didn't dare to eat, so I left as soon as the matter was over. "

The envoy of the Dragon King said these words with a bitter face, sighed heavily, and said: "Since you are here today, it's fine. Wait a day, I've waited for half my life. Everyone in the door has rumors that hunters are reliable.

I beg of you, get things straightened out. If there are other scourges, you can get rid of it, and I can feel at ease when I walk on the mountain road.

But Lord Dragon, it is absolutely impossible to do this! "

A group of people questioned the envoy of the Dragon King for a long time, but they couldn't find anything.

The old man only revealed some useful information at the beginning, and then he just talked back and forth.

Lin Shuo understood that this was the way people in the school said.

The words of the people in the door often only need a few words to make others believe him.

The threshold of Lin Shuo's family is too high, so naturally he disdains such tricks of deception, but he has learned how to prevent others from lying to him with words.

Lin Shuo didn't believe a word the old man said.

But he doesn't believe it, others still believe it.

For example, Liu Qing, who is usually a heroic woman, is now so confused by the old man's rhetoric that she not only gave him all the food in her backpack, but also asked Anne how to transfer money here.

Lin Shuo quickly released the envoy of the Dragon King. If this continues, the old man will take away not just the donkey.

Before leaving, the envoy of the Dragon King took a look at Lin Shuo:

"When the villagers throw sacrifices into the river tomorrow, don't follow. I lied to them, and the Dragon Lord never shows up at such a time.

We are all people in the family, I will not hide this matter from you, little old man, please give me a way to survive.

If you really want to go, people in the village will feel that outsiders are robbing you of luck, and then there will be chaos.

When the time comes, I will be in a hurry. If you tell me about my tricks, then I really can't live.

In fact, they threw sacrifices upstream, and I fished them downstream, and they were all meat. "

After saying this, the old man was a little embarrassed, and said with an embarrassed smile, "I'm just eating..."

Back at the temporary camp, everyone sat down and began to share information.

During this trip to the mountain village, the four of Lin Shuo did solve some of the mysteries by inquiring about the news.

But instead of making any progress, things became even more confusing.

"Right now, there are three questions we need to clarify." He Zihong looked good after resting on the mountain for a day, and analyzed: "Does the Black Water Dragon King exist? If it exists, what exactly is it? Where is it now?"

"Didn't the envoy of the Dragon King say that what happened in that village was not done by the Black Water Dragon King?" Liu Qing asked, "Then why are we looking for the Black Water Dragon King?"

"You can't believe the words of this kind of charlatan." He Zihong shook his head and said, "His words are true or false, we can only write them down first, and then verify them step by step."

"The teacher is right." Yang Tuo said, "All the current evidence points to the Blackwater Dragon King. Especially the biological characteristics are consistent with our research results. They are all huge snakes."

"Mr. Lin, what do you think?" Anne asked aloud, her beautiful eyes cast on Lin Shuo.

"The last sentence of that old liar is very strange." Lin Shuo said, "If he didn't mention it, I might not have noticed it. It is about the villagers delivering sacrifices by the river tomorrow.

He stood up for the Black Water Dragon King before and warned people not to get close to the water, in fact, it was to make it easier for him to recover sacrifices in the water.

This is his most important source of income.

But why did he explain this matter to me in the end

The most taboo thing for people in the door is trusting others. Especially if it is related to his own job, he will never reveal it easily.

The old man's last words are tantamount to handing over his job to me. As for whether to smash his job or not, it depends on my mood. "

"It's very abnormal." He Zihong nodded, "Mr. Lin, what's your opinion?"

"In fact, he just wanted me to pay attention to tomorrow's sacrifice." Lin Shuo said, "That's why he pointed it out."

"Then why did he do this?" Wei Xingshan said in a deep voice, "Does he have any motives?"

"I'm not sure about that." Lin Shuo shook his head, "However, he gave my job into my hands. This method is used among people in the door, which is worse than swearing, and it is often a last resort.

It looks like I'm going to take a walk by the river tomorrow. "
