After Xie Run stood up, he pretended to be quite straightforward, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, and said: "Uh... I thought about it, brother, since you have a good intention, I shouldn't refuse it. We are thousands of miles away, so I... might as well come over."
He walked over as he spoke.
Others didn't think much of it, but when Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai saw this, they immediately looked at each other, and their eyes seemed to say - Got it.
In the eyes of these two cunning guys, Xie Run is a very calm person. Combined with his appearance, even if they can't detect the inner strength from him, there are still seven I am 80% certain that he is a member of the Jianghu.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if you are a member of the Jianghu, as long as you don’t show obvious hostility, then we won’t criticize you even if you don’t say it.
But now Xie Run suddenly changed his attitude because of Sun Yixie's "inconvenience" and became a little "unsettled", which revealed a lot of information.
How cunning are Sun and Huang? The two of them thought about it for a moment and realized: This strong man was carrying two bundles, both of which were not big. One was carried on his back and the other was held in his hand. Why is this? Even if you have to pack things separately, you can pack them separately and put them into one big baggage, right? Taking a step back, depending on the size of the two baggage, it’s okay to carry it on your back at the same time...
You won’t realize this kind of detail if you don’t think about it carefully, but now you have doubts Under the premise, it can be understood as soon as you think about it.
At that moment, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai thought almost at the same time - there must be something very valuable in the baggage in this strong man's hand.
Some people may say, no matter how expensive it is, how much is it worth? Brother Sun and Brother Huang have at least several thousand taels of banknotes in their luggage. They are not so guarded, right?
But there is no comparison...
For example: For a rich man, he may not take it seriously even if he loses a few taels of silver. Just forget it, but for a poor person, a few dozen pennies can scare him to death, or even force him to death.
The current situation is similar to this: for Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie, a few thousand taels is indeed not a small amount and cannot be thrown away casually, but if it is lost, nothing will happen to them. , at best, I will be angry for a while, and when I figure it out, I will gain wisdom from the pain.
But for Xie Run, the escort, if the things in the bag were lost...even if it was only worth a penny, he would still be unable to deliver.
It would be okay for an ordinary escort to lose his dart, but as the third person in the Yiyong Escort Bureau, you, Xie Run, went out personally as the "hidden dart" and ended up losing it? That's not just something you, Xie Run, can take the blame for. This is a major event that has tarnished the name of Yiyong Escort Agency.
So, Xie Run had to be careful and he had to go overboard.
“Oh...haha, it’s okay, it’s okay, come on, come on, sit here. "Sun Yixie has no grievances against the other party, so there is no need to tell what he guessed. Therefore, he continued to maintain the principle of seeing through but not telling the truth, and greeted the other party as if nothing was wrong, "It's all just a matter of course. People should help each other when encountering difficulties. There is nothing to be embarrassed about, hahaha. ”
“Hey, yes. "Xie Run also continued to pretend to be stupid, nodded and sat down.
He sat down, but he didn't take off his clothes, and he didn't leave his two bundles. His state was the same as before. It makes no difference when you're sitting in the corner.
You can't blame him. The world is dangerous and he has to guard against it.
Who knows if the six of you are real travelers? What if the six of you and the boatman were all in the same group? What if you got me here through design? What if the scholar and the businessman just staged a quarrel for me? What if you take advantage of the moment when I am restricted from undressing and attack me?
In this isolated and unfamiliar environment, Xie Run has a lot of things on his mind. Even if he didn't take off his clothes, he didn't think it was enough.
Fortunately... none of the dangers he expected happened.
He didn't take off his clothes to warm himself by the fire. No one complained. After all... they had no friendship with him, so there was no need to care about him. As long as he didn't bother others, no one cared about him.
And this kind of indifference made Xie Run relax a little. Take a breath - I have been in the world a lot, and I am not afraid of indifference, but afraid of enthusiasm; I am not afraid of people who show malice to you from the beginning, but I am afraid of people who are kind to you inexplicably.
So, these six people are in front of you. Here, what Xie Run is most afraid of now is Sun Yixie...
Of course, as long as Brother Sun doesn't do anything that makes Xie Run feel problematic, Xie Run will not act rashly.
In this way, time passed slowly, and everyone was warming up and resting in a silent and depressing atmosphere.
Some of them were indeed a little tired. When "drifting" on the boat, everyone's body is tense. After landing, wearing soaked clothes and braving the wind and rain all the way is also very physically demanding.
Unconsciously. , the traveling businessman fell asleep on a box in his luggage.
As mentioned before, this traveling businessman is a relatively simple and straightforward person. Although he has a bit of a bad mouth, he has a good heart. Not bad, this kind of person has a big heart and can sleep even in this environment.
But others are not as relaxed as him.
The scholar is narrow-minded and does not want to sleep even though he has nothing of value on him; as for the doctor, at his age, he has seen many things and is careful about everything, so he does not dare to sleep. .
I won’t explain why Xie Run didn’t sleep.
Lei Buji, he is really not tired. After all, he is young and has high martial arts skills. You just let him stay. He ran for two hours in the rain and didn't need to catch up on his nap., at most you can just do some exercises and adjust your breathing for a while.
As for Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai... They originally wanted to take a nap. Anyway, Lei Buji was awake, so they were relieved. However, when they speculated that Xie Run was probably a person with... They also couldn't sleep after the charlatans took away their valuables.
It's not that they are worried about Xie Run's things, but that these two old bastards, like Xie Run, are beginning to doubt others.
What if the three guys next to me and the boatman are all in the same group? What if they got the strong man here through design and wanted to gank him? What if the scholar and the businessman just staged a quarrel deliberately for the strong man to see? What if they finish ganking and want to silence us too?
The world is dangerous and they must be on guard!
So in this silent psychological warfare, an hour passed.
Those who baked clothes also put their clothes back on.
Are the clothes completely dry? Of course not.
It’s just that when baking clothes with fire, this time is the limit. If you continue to bake, the clothes will not feel completely dry, but will only become harder and harder, and The color will become more and more yellow as it bakes.
In that era, except for a few extreme powerful people who did not eat the fireworks of the world, most people knew this kind of common sense. Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai had also lived in this universe for seventeen or eight years, so they must be the same. Got it.
After they finished putting on their clothes, they also woke up the traveling businessman and reminded him to put them on too.
By this time, everyone was in better condition; those clothes had been squeezed out before being baked, and even if they were not particularly dry after baking, they were still better than when they were first taken off. They themselves had sat by the fire for so long, and their bodies had warmed up.
Finally, at a time when the atmosphere was quite good, Huang Donglai spoke: "Everyone, as the saying goes, meeting means destiny. Today, seven of us can gather around a fire together under the same roof. It is undoubtedly fate. During this period of time, everyone was sitting silently, which made me feel uncomfortable. Otherwise, how about we exchange names? If something happens later, at least everyone can call each other by their names. ."
As soon as he said this, the faces of the scholar, doctor, businessman and Xie Run all changed, obviously they all had their own ideas.
In order to reassure them, Huang Donglai added: "Oh, of course, I don't mean to force everyone. If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it. I can tell you first that Huang Donglai is here. The two are my brothers Sun Yixie and Lei Buji, and the three of us are all in the world."
Huang Donglai revealed his identity here for two purposes: First, he wanted to take a preemptive strike and test it out. Xie Run's reaction to this; secondly, he also wanted to use this as an opportunity to let Xie Run understand that the three of them were not here for Xie Run, and could even form a temporary alliance with Xie Run when there was danger.
After hearing his words, the first person to respond was the doctor: "Well... old Tian Wude is a good doctor."
"I have met Mr. Tian." Huang Donglai was there When chatting with people other than his brothers, most of the time he still appears polite and knowledgeable.
"Don't be afraid, I'm just trying to make ends meet." Tian Wude said politely.
"Xiaosheng Kong Hengji." When the scholar saw that someone had already reported his name, he refused to be the last one and quickly said the second one.
Before he finished speaking, Xie Run couldn't wait to continue: "Xu Ren, he is..."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the businessman suddenly suddenly Interrupted: "No, your surname is not Xu."
As soon as these words came out, the other six people were stunned, especially Xie Run, who was so shocked that he suddenly turned around and stared at That businessman.
However, the footman's eyes were completely different from those before he fell asleep. Under the firelight, his eyes were faintly glowing with green light, and his tone also changed. He was very strange and confident: "Your surname is Xie, your name is Xie Run!"
Xie Run's face darkened, and the false innocent look disappeared in an instant, replaced by a cold expression: "If I am Xie Run, then who are you?"
"Me?" When the traveler was asked this question, he suddenly laughed, "Haha...hahahaha..." His smile was extremely weird. , and his words were even more terrifying, "My name is Yelu Baoqi."
