But in the rivers and lakes

Standing on the stairs was a young woman of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a cherry red brocade gown, and a jade hairpin inlaid with gold dots in her jet-black hair. His demeanor was as gentle as water and tender, which made the two thugs look straight.She bowed to Shen Yun and said, "Young Master, please come with me."

As soon as he came, he would be safe, Shen Yun walked up the steps, and the two thugs dared not stop him again.The woman led the way in front, her lotus steps were moving lightly, her skirts were fluttering, she was quite aura, Shen Yun smelled the faint scent of powder on her body, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.Beauties are always pleasing to the eye, and he never hesitates to look at them. He looks at them as if he is looking at a unique work of art. Even though they are not perfect, they are lively and fragrant, and they are the most beautiful scenery in the world.

The woman walked to a room with a plaque hanging "Zi Qi Dong Lai", reached out and knocked on the flower lattice door, then pushed it open, bowed and said, "Young Master, please come in."

Compared with the noisy and chaotic lobby, this place is obviously much quieter. There is a red felt carpet at the entrance, on which countless large and small blessing characters are embroidered with golden silk thread, which means "a hundred blessings and auspiciousness".A round table of mahogany inlaid with marble is placed in the hall, and a purple sand tea set should be included. Behind the table are four silk screens, each painted with different auspicious patterns. Behind the thin layer of silk cloth, a slender figure can be faintly seen.

Shen Yun's footsteps paused, and after a while, he went around the screen and walked in.

The layout inside is much simpler than the outside. The gambling table is placed in the center, Pai Gow and dice are neatly placed on it, and a soft couch is placed by the window for people to rest on. Spread out on the couch, the white brocade robe sweeps the floor, the hem is embroidered with gorgeous peach blossoms, the lapel is slightly open, revealing half of the crimson jacket, the half-smiling eyebrows have a bit of laziness and sarcasm, like sparkling water Guang Bian looked over at Shen Yun.

There was a hint of surprise in Shen Yun's expression, and he soon returned to normal, leaning on the door and smiling at the young man: "Where in life do we never meet again, Mr. Su, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Su Lianmo raised the green-glazed jug in his hand, drank the last drop of wine, raised his eyes slightly and asked, "There are restaurants everywhere, and there is always a destiny to meet each other. Brother Shen, would you like to have a drink with me?"

Shen Yun looked at the lazy young man in front of him with a faint smile, and said, "If the wine is drained, how can we drink together?"

Su Lianmo put down the jug and tapped twice on the table with her fingertips. The young girl in a cherry red brocade dress pushed the door and walked in. She bowed deeply to the inside and stood meekly outside the screen, never uttering a word. sound.Su Lianmo tapped the table again, and the girl slowly knelt down and opened her mouth to sing: "Lanling wine tulips, jade bowls filled with amber light, but make the master drunk, I don't know where is another land..." Sweet The voice lingered in the room, the beauties and singing voices were naturally very pleasing to the eye, Shen Yun didn't know what Su Lianmo's intention was, but he never interrupted the natural voice.

After the song was over, the girl was still kneeling on the ground obediently, as if waiting for a verdict.Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, blowing the girl's hair that was hanging down her shoulders, one silver thread was already wrapped around her neck, and the other end was in Su Lianmo's hand.There was a slight smile in his eyes, and he asked jokingly: "It's all right, brother Shen, why don't we make a bet?"

Shen Yun couldn't help frowning: "Young Master Su thinks I'll bet on this irrelevant person, right? If it's a play, it's time to end." After that, he stopped looking at the girl with the silver thread around her neck, and turned around to prepare After leaving, he heard the sound of "cong" in the silence, and the silver thread broke in response. He suddenly stopped in his tracks, with a hint of astonishment in his expression.

There was already bright red blood on the girl's neck, her knees were still kneeling, and only her slightly trembling body proved that she was still alive.Su Lianmo just picked up the green-glazed jug, threw it beside the woman, and said, "The matter of drinking all the world's fine wines with Brother Chen didn't work out, why did Brother Shen want to leave alone when sweetness is so close?" ?”

The girl propped up her trembling body and crawled towards the green-glazed jug, she obviously had no strength, but she gritted her teeth tightly, and put the green-glazed jug under her neck, the thick blood slowly flowed into the jug, and A few drops dripped along the green-glazed pot wall, it was Mo Ming's coquettishness.Even though Shen Yun was used to seeing life and death, he couldn't help being shocked by the scene in front of him, and he could no longer move away.

The corners of Su Lianmo's mouth rose slightly, as if he was determined that Shen Yun would not leave, and asked lightly: "Brother Shen, would you like to have a drink with me now?" After finishing speaking, he threw the unused green glaze cup on the table at Shen Yun Yun, then picked up the ordinary porcelain bowl on the side and placed it in front of him, still tapping the table twice with his fingers.

An old man with gorgeous hair pushed the door in with a cane inlaid with a dragon head inlaid with sapphires, took away the half-full celadon wine jug under the girl's neck, poured it for Shen Yun and Su Limo without changing expressions, and then Turning around to leave, his eyes never fell on the three of them.

Su Lianmo respected Shen Yun with the bloody red liquid in the porcelain bowl, and then took a sip, her eyes slightly closed, as if she was tasting the best in the world.The celadon wine cup was held in Shen Yun's hand, it was less than half a tael, but it exuded bursts of fragrance, and there was a hint of fishy sweetness, like wine but not wine, like blood but not blood.

Like a ghost, Shen Yun raised the celadon wine glass, the taste of sweet and mellow poured into his mouth, the smell of blood spread on his lips and teeth, the sweetness was slightly astringent in the aftertaste, and the aroma of the wine overflowed.A flash of understanding flashed in Su Lianmo's eyes, he put down the porcelain bowl and asked with a smile: "The wine has been drunk, Brother Shen, would you like to bet with me now?"

The girl was still kneeling on the ground, blood had stained her clothes red, her body trembled more and more, the blood on her neck fell drop by drop on the pear wood floor, Shen Yun frowned slightly, and finally said: "The bet .”

Su Lianmo didn't even look at the dying woman, but only stared at a drop of bright red on her finger, and said: "If Brother Shen wins, Su Mou is willing to send the 'Flying on the Grass' Zhu Ba's hand." Where; if Su wins by chance, please ask Brother Shen to agree to the following three things, Su can guarantee that these three things will never violate the morals of the world, how about it?"

Shen Yun was a little surprised that Su Lianmo would know the purpose of his trip, and suddenly remembered his words that there was an unexpected situation, and then he was relieved, and said with a hearty smile: "Mr. , I have never learned it before, I am afraid it will disturb Mr. Su's elegance."

The trembling figure on the ground finally couldn't hold on any longer, and fell down with a "plop". Seeing this scene, Su Lianmo's expression remained unchanged, and he only said: "Thousands of times I have been thinking about it, it is suspected that the blood and soul are in distress." If Brother Chen doesn't mind, how about betting on this woman's life and death? If she dies, Brother Shen wins, if she is intact, then I win."

Shen Yun looked at the figure curled up on the ground, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his acupoints were blackened. He was not as gentle and beautiful as when he first saw him, but seeing blood overflowing from his neck, he was already at the end of his life, how could he live again? go down?

Shen Yun respects every life, because it is unique.

He seldom kills, even if the other party puts a knife on his neck, he can save himself from danger while chatting and laughing.

His sword is a sword for saving people, that's why he is called a ranger.

A man of chivalry is righteousness, righteousness, faith, and benevolence, and never treats other people's lives as playthings on his fingertips.After listening to Su Lianmo's words, Shen Yun frowned slightly, no matter whether he wins or loses in this game, there is no winner.After a moment of silence, he only said one word: "Okay."

Su Lianmo got up slowly, and waved her hand in front of the woman seemingly casually, but in fact, she had touched dozens of acupuncture points, turned her wrist, pinched a black jade bead on the white fingertips, and put it into the woman's mouth , then raised his palm and hit her Tianling Gai forcefully, the speed was even worse than the killing move.

Shen Yun was shocked, but when he heard the woman snort, he woke up slowly and turned around.Su Lianmo raised her eyes to look at him, her peach blossom eyes were half-closed, with a bit of mischievousness and complacency: "It seems that Brother Shen lost."

Shen Yun stepped forward and clasped the woman's wrist. Although the pulse was weak, it had already slowed down. It only took a few days of rest to return to its original state.There is no shortage of people with outstanding medical skills in the rivers and lakes. The most famous ones are Xue Haohua, the immortal doctor of Guigu, and Baying, the sage of returning spring. These two Shen Yun have met several times, but there is no one who can bring death back to life like this. medicine.Shen Yun looked at Su Lianmo with more scrutiny in his eyes, but the boy still had a calm expression on his face, waiting for Shen Yun's answer.

Shen Yun lowered his eyes slightly, and sighed: "I'm willing to bet and admit defeat. If Mr. Su is useful in the future, I will make up my mind on the three things." After finishing speaking, he didn't stay any longer, turned around and left this elegant room .Su Lianmo didn't try to stop her, but only looked at the figure who disappeared at the door, her smile didn't fade, but her eyes became darker.

Changle Gambling House was still full of people, Shen Yun stayed for a while to make sure that there was no trace of Zhu Ba, and then walked out from the gate.The noon sun was dazzling, a little boy stood guard at the door, and when he saw Shen Yun, he stretched out his hand to stop him, and said respectfully: "My son has some kindness, please accept Shen Yun."

Seeing the note and the sheepskin wine pouch in his hand, Shen Yun already guessed that Su Lianmo was playing tricks again. He looked up to the direction of the second floor, hooked the corner of his mouth, and stretched out his hand to take the things.The little boy bowed to him before walking into Dufang.Shen Yun opened the sheepskin wine pouch, and an elegant aroma of wine permeated the air, it was the real apricot blossom wine.The wine worm in his stomach was aroused, he raised his head and took a sip before opening the note.

A few figures, but it is written about the whereabouts of "flying on the grass" Zhu Ba.

Is this gamble just to pass the time?

Shen Yun smiled helplessly, pinned the sheepskin wine pouch on his waist, and walked to the place written on the paper - Happy Building.
