Chapter 400 Night Wind
Tang Zhao glanced over the rows of grotesque gangsters, and when he heard Teng Liang's words, he turned his head and said, "What are you doing? One after another tonight? In such a narrow place, you still need someone to play the strings?"

Teng Liang laughed and said, "Why are you nervous? Do you think I will call you sister? I just asked the old blind man next door to come over to relieve his boredom."

Tang Zhao asked suspiciously, "Old blind man?"

Teng Liang smiled and said: "Back then, those who ran around the rivers and lakes to play string music. Those who lived in shacks at the end of the street were blind and hoarse when they were over 70. They had no children waiting to die there. But the things in their hands It’s okay, I was also a serious wanderer back then, so I’m half a senior. Anyway, when I’m bored drinking, I’ll ask him to sing a couple of verses, and I’ll give you some money. You, you.”

He ordered two gangsters, threw out a sling of money, and said, "Go and find me the old blind man, and tell me that Uncle Teng is here."

Teng Liang also knew that his identity was not enough for people to run errands, but if he went to look for it himself and lost face in front of his friends, he would use money to do the errands.Those two gangsters are the youngest, why don't they earn money?Immediately received the money and jumped out.

Tang Zhao is thoughtful—at least for now, Teng Liang still has a bit of a passion for the businessman who runs the rivers and lakes.

At this time, the limping old man came over and brought two thick porcelain bowls. The bowls were full of meat soup, and they melted into the cold night with white steam.

Tang Zhao was a little hungry, took a bowl, took a spoonful and put it in his mouth.

Very fragrant, very soft, very thick.

It is the kind of feeling that in the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month, a big spoonful is full, and it warms from the mouth to the heart.

It is the taste that can bring happiness to people.

"good to eat."

Tang Zhao sighed in admiration and ate several mouthfuls.

At this time, freshly baked scallion pancakes were served at the back, golden in color and shiny on the surface.There is a crisp "click" when it is broken open, and the inside is fragrant noodles and scallions.

Although Tang Zhao, as a swordsman, has gradually reduced his dietary needs, he is still eager to eat such a simple and warm food. He eats more than half a bowl spoonful after spoonful, and even eats two biscuits in one go.

Teng Liang smiled proudly: "How about the place I introduced? Isn't this more comfortable than a big restaurant in the city?"

In fact, he has never eaten in a big restaurant, and the big restaurants in the inner city are not places he can go to.

Tang Zhao nodded and said, "It's really comfortable to eat."

The big restaurant also has delicious dishes, delicacies from mountains and seas, and exquisite dishes, but in this weather, it is more comfortable to come to this big bowl of hot meat soup.In particular, Tang Zhao has rarely had the opportunity to eat home-cooked food cooked with care in recent years.

Seeing him burying his head in eating and drinking, Teng Liang smiled and said, "Don't eat so hard, you'll drink later. Save some meat soup to hangover. Old cripple, burn a catty of soju."

He yelled, winked again, and said, "You don't look like you've eaten before, you look like a hungry wolf, how scared did you get when you heard someone playing strings just now? You kid—hasn’t you ever tried meat?”

Although he didn't say it out loud, he didn't lower his volume. Many gangsters around him were the most excited when they heard this kind of topic. Seeing and seeing. It’s next door in Widow’s Alley..."

At this moment, Tang Zhao finished drinking the beef soup at the bottom of the bowl, and suddenly said, "Why isn't your old man playing the string here?"

His voice was incompatible with the laughter, but all the voices subconsciously quieted down.

Teng Liang was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that the time was not short, and said: "Yes, what are those two dawdling around doing? A Qiang, go and rush me." He took out half a penny from his waist and lost it. past.The kid named Ah Qiang agreed, took the money and flew out as if.

Tang Zhao glanced at his waist wallet, stuffed the last piece of cake into his mouth, got up suddenly and said, "Let's go."

Teng Liang only felt that Tang Zhao was about to go out, and asked inexplicably, "Why are you going?"

On the contrary, Tang Zhao was a little surprised and asked: "At night, there is no sound from other people outside, in a straight alley, two people went out to find someone, and they didn't come back for a long time—guess what happened?"

Teng Liang's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a trembling voice, "You...what are you talking about?"

Tang Zhao said in a deep voice, "I don't know either. So - prepare for the worst. Go out and have a look." He signaled Teng Liang to follow with his eyes.

Teng Liang's heart tightened when he heard it, and he was very conflicted, and said: "Actually, I just sent Ah Qiang to watch..."

Tang Zhaodao: "The two of them didn't come back, so send another person to watch? That's a good way. If he doesn't come back, what will you do? Calabash baby save grandpa? We just want to follow Ah Qiang to see. See if he leads What's coming?"

Teng Liang stayed with Tang Zhao for a while, but he had never heard of the stalk of "cucurbit baby", but Tang Zhao's words made his heart beat wildly, and he just felt like he was sweating.At this time, he felt that the surroundings were suddenly quiet again, and the bustling small restaurant became gloomy.

In fact, there was indeed no one talking around.

Tang Zhao didn't yell loudly, but he spoke clearly and everyone heard him.

This kind of thing can't be thought about carefully, the more I think about it, the more hairy I get, especially in such a cold night.

Outside... is there really something?
Everyone was waiting for the next moment, when those boys came back with the old blind man, playing a false alarm.

But waiting, waiting, the curtain at the door remained motionless like a heavy weight.

The air froze as if it was about to explode.

Finally, Teng Liang couldn't bear it anymore, moved his lips, and said loudly: "What the hell? Let's protect our body with blood, and there is no taboo! Brothers, copy the guy with me, let's go and see together."

……

He yelled, but the surroundings were still very quiet.

Not a single one responded.

Everyone else huddled around the table without looking at him.There was only one gangster who was close to him and said with a dry smile: "Brother Teng, shall we drink? Why are you making trouble? It's windy outside, and it's easy to get cold. In the evening, just drink some wine here and sleep, and wake up in the morning The sun came up and nothing happened."

Teng Liang's heart moved, Tang Zhao said: "Let's go. We are going too, what does it have to do with others?" He stretched out his hand at the door to signal him to come.

Teng Liang struggled in his heart, finally gritted his teeth, pointed at the gangster next to him and cursed: "You cowards, are you useless at the critical moment. Eat, eat, eat, why don't you kill you?" Finally, he chased after him.

When Tang Zhao passed by the kitchen, he threw a handful of copper coins into the money collection jar, made a jingling sound, and said, "Boss, I've given you the money."

Rao Teng Liang was beating his heart, and instinctively said angrily: "What are you doing, how could you treat me..." Tang Zhao had already dragged him out.

The old cripple waited for them to leave and stretched his head to take a look, thanking him again and again, then his expression changed slightly, suppressing his excitement, he dragged the jar back to the kitchen.

It turned out that among the copper coins in the jar, there was actually a broken silver coin hidden in white.

This is meeting a nobleman!

When the two of them went out, Teng Liang forgot for a moment the shyness just now, and said to himself: "How can you pay for it? My place allows you to treat guests, what kind of person am I?"

Tang Zhao hissed lightly, and said softly, "Don't make noise, we'll follow the person in front."

Only then did Teng Liang realize the situation. From a distance, Ah Qiang had reached the end of the alley, and there were only small black spots left. He shivered, and his body was a little shorter, and then he whispered: "You How can I pay for it?"

Tang Zhao fixed his eyes on the target and said, "It's okay, it's actually you who paid for it."

Teng Liang said "Huh?" Tang Zhao explained, "I didn't bring any money with me when I went out, so I took yours first."

Teng Liang hurriedly touched the purse, and it was indeed lighter than before. It was because of the lack of a handful of money. He couldn't help pointing at Tang Zhao and said, "Ah, you... such a grandson?"

Tang Zhao patted him and said, "I'll borrow it. Anyway, you definitely want to treat me. Can I make you embarrass yourself in your own place?"

In fact, it's not that he has no money, but he has no change at hand. His luggage is piled up in a jar, and he usually doesn't need to buy anything, only some gold and silver are pressed at the bottom of the box.That piece of silver was broken off from the smallest piece of silver ingot in his hand.

He is willing to pay more for this bowl of meat soup, but this kind of small shop is full of gangsters, big and small, so giving too much money will be a disaster.In order not to embarrass the boss, he took some copper coins from Teng Liang as a cover, mixed them with silver and put them into the piggy bank.

Teng Liang snorted and said, "I think you should learn hand lottery tricks, it's called fast! Back then, there was a thief king who said I was talented, but I didn't go to accept me as a top disciple. I think you are better, self-taught……"

Tang Zhao hissed again, pointed to the front, and said, "Where is it?"

Teng Liang saw that Ah Qiang had already approached a shack, and seemed to be wandering outside, saying: "Yes, it's the old blind man's residence. Why didn't you see those two people? This kid didn't go in either. Could it be that he found something?"

Tang Zhao said: "Follow me, and only step on the places I have stepped on." As he spoke, he walked slowly along the street.

Strange to say, the side of the street is full of sundries, even the residents who walk this street every day will inevitably step on things, but Tang Zhao is like a fish in water, shuttling among them without touching his body, and his voice is always light and light.Teng Liang followed him step by step, but didn't encounter anything.

The two of them walked halfway, and they were still a few feet away from the small shack. Tang Zhao suddenly pressed Teng Liang and said, "You wait here."

Teng Liang said, "What's the situation?"

Tang Zhao pointed to the room, and said, "There is something wrong. You are outside, I'll go in and have a look."

Although Teng Liang wanted to be brave, he felt the wind blowing, and said, "I'm outside...what if that ghost thing comes out?"

Tang Zhaodao: "It's not a ghost - Mucheng's formation is very good, there will be no phantoms or evil disasters in the city. It's just that there are things more terrifying than phantoms. Well, since you don't want to stay outside, just follow me , I should be able to protect you."

Teng Liang nodded foolishly and said, "What is scarier than ghosts..."

When he said this, he was startled suddenly, and saw a light flashing in front of his eyes, as if the sunlight came from the day.

The light flickered in front of Tang Zhao, and turned into a silk thread wrapped around Tang Zhao's collar, gradually mixed into the material of the clothes, and could no longer be seen. Tang Zhao said seriously, "That is naturally..."

"what!"

A scream came from the front!
