My movements were very fast. I thrust and turned my feet, and I saw the black shadow flicker. I was already standing in front of the woman.
Everyone around was stunned.
"The Public Security Bureau, what about the Public Security Bureau? Stop trying to scare people with this?"
"Don't you know the rules here? Besides, we haven't broken any laws."
The leading shadow hesitated, but still did not flinch.
This is what they eat. If they soften at this time, they will not be able to survive in this ghost market in the future.
"Who said you didn't break the law? His thing belongs to me, and you're still going to beat him up?"
The girl behind her supported her father and said aggrievedly.
I turned around and glared: "Okay, don't you think you've caused enough trouble?"
"Ah, you, are you little...?"
The woman looked into my eyes and asked in surprise.
"Shut up and talk about something later!"
I scolded her harshly, turned around and said.
"Brothers, I'm sorry, my friend is not sensible.
"Let's do this. You tell me the number of the jade Ruyi, and I will buy it now."
I unbuttoned my military coat, tapped my belt with my fingers, and bang, the short sword to ward off evil slipped into my palm.
Whoosh!
In the darkness, the palm of his hand slipped, and the short sword to ward off evil drew an afterimage.
Uh-huh!
The stall owner felt his eyes go dark, and the lantern he was holding was extinguished, leaving only half of it.
The people around him took a breath, and the dark figures took a step back.
"Brothers, can you give me some face?
I rushed down with the tip of my knife and punched the leader.
This is called courtesy before fighting. The rules of the ghost market must be solved by Jianghu means.
I first used the attitude of losing money and avoiding disaster to give the other party a step up, and then I showed my strength.
I believe that with my skills and my status as a member of the Public Security Bureau, the other party will definitely be wary of me.
The leading shadow and the stall owner hesitated.
"He just said that the jade Ruyi was sold to me for four hundred yuan.
The woman behind him interjected.
"Yes, I just asked for four hundred yuan, but if he didn't say six hundred yuan, wouldn't he also buy it?"
The stall owner said while holding up the small bag, his eyes always looking at me and the leader's dark figure.
The leading black figure didn't speak, just looked at me.
I nodded.
"Okay, actually you and I both know that this jade Ruyi is only worth four or five hundred yuan.
"But my friend was very offended just now and should express his feelings. Do you think this is okay?
"Brother gave us 700 yuan, 600 yuan to buy Jade Ruyi, and the rest to treat everyone to a supper, and we treated it as a friend.
"I have something to do today, so I'll excuse you now. I'll ask Zhang Lei, Zhang Zitong, and Dong Wei from the security team to apologize to you all at Dongxing Tower another day."
After saying that, I didn't wait for their reaction, put the money into the stall owner's hand, grabbed his small bag, turned around and walked out with the woman.
No one around him moved.
After walking a few steps, I heard the leader cough.
"Okay, let's all disperse. This brother is a loyal man, so everyone should give him some face."
"Little brother, walk slowly. The mountains and rivers will not change. We will still have a chance to meet in the future."
The black shadow who took the lead said a few words, but did not catch up.
Du Jun had already touched his waist and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw us coming out.
"Come on, talk to me when you get back."
I nodded to Du Jun and hurried out of the ghost market with a few people until we reached the place where there were street lights.
I turned to look at the girl behind me: "Lanyue, when did you come to Yanjing?"
"What, Lan Yue, is it really you?" Wang Man and Xiao Lian shouted in surprise and hurriedly gathered around.
"It's me, oh, I was scared to death just now. Fortunately, you are here!"
The girl took off her mask, revealing a beautiful face.
"Didn't you say you were going back to Fengtian? Why are you here?"
We all felt very strange. Before Chen Yan invited us to Yanjing, Lan Yue had already asked for leave in advance and returned to Fengtian. No one expected that she would actually appear here.
"I have returned to Fengtian, but I received a letter from my father. His work arrangements are in Yanjing. I came here specially to see him this time.
"Why are you here too?"
Lan Yue put on a mask and gave us a brief introduction to the middle-aged man behind him.
This is her father Lan Jianguo.
At this time, Lan Jianguo had not yet recovered from the shock in the ghost market, so he looked back uneasy.
I saw Wang Man and Xiaolian chatting with Lan Yue non-stop, so I simply invited them to my home first.
Lan Yue was also surprised when she heard that I had real estate in Nankai District. She didn't need to be polite and took her father back home with us.
After entering the living room, I called Liu Qingshan over. As the hostess, Xiaolian made tea with Wang Man and brought over some dried fruits.
After drinking a few cups of tea and waiting for the temperature in the living room to rise, Lan Yue formally introduced her father to us and talked about their family's situation.
After learning about her father's experience, we were in awe.
Her father, Lan Jianguo, is definitely a legend, and he turns out to be quite mysterious. Although Wang Man and Lan Yue are as close as Du Jun and I, she has never met Lan Jianguo.
Lan Jianguo is one of the earliest college students in New China. He once studied in Europe and is proficient in foreign languages, history, and archeology.
When Lan Yue was six or seven years old, Lan Jianguo responded to the organization's trust and resolutely left his wife and children to live abroad.
When the movement to destroy the four olds first started, he was learning a blank technology that was not available in China.
In order to protect his family, Lan Jianguo reluctantly divorced Lan Yue's mother and stayed abroad for nearly ten years.
When Lan Yue first went to Dajin Village to go to the countryside, her father had just returned to China, but because the situation was still unclear and it was all family privacy, Lan Yue did not mention it to everyone.
Lan Jianguo was indeed rewarded after all the hard work. After returning to China, he was assigned to the Yanjing area. He is currently working as a professor in the history department at the famous Dongsheng University in Yanjing. He also allocated a house near the school, which can be regarded as a glorious return to his hometown.
Lan Yue also told us with some melancholy that her family might move to Yanjing after the Chinese New Year, and they would not have so much time to spend time with everyone in the future.
We looked at each other but didn't say anything. Maybe this was fate, and we got together again by accident.
While we were talking, Lan Jianguo kept smiling and listening. He was 70% similar to Lan Yue in appearance. He was gentle and well-educated.
In particular, his temperament is different from ordinary people. How to describe it?
The word aristocrat is very appropriate.
Professor Lan exuded an aura of nobility, and every move he made was very rigorous, as if he had been deliberately trained.
Du Jun and I both respect this kind of learned elder very much.
Lan Yue must have often mentioned her friends in front of his father. Even though we met for the first time, we didn't feel that much of a stranger.
Professor Lan solemnly expressed his gratitude to us again, and then said with a smile.
"Zhou Quan Middle School, your names are always on our lips, especially yours.
"You are so young, but you are quite capable!
"Not only are you highly skilled in medicine, but you can also cure some difficult and complicated diseases. How about someone who can slay demons and eliminate demons? I heard he's even better than a dancing master?"
Although Professor Lan was polite, he was not rigid. Seeing that we were so close to Lan Yue, he half-joked with an elder tone.
"Dad, what are you talking about? I didn't say he was better than the dancing master? He has beaten vixens and centipedes with wings..."
Lan Yue's face turned red, and she looked at me and Xiaolian embarrassedly, feeling somewhat guilty.
Lan Jianguo's words prove that Lan Yue often mentions me at home and she is afraid that Xiaolian is too worried.
Fortunately, there was nothing unusual about Xiaolian. She just moved closer to me.
"Professor Lan, you have given me the prize, Lan Yue is joking with you.
"What kind of master are you? Those foxes and centipedes you beat... they just stayed in the mountains for a long time and have some special abilities."
"After raising cats and dogs for several years, they will understand human nature, let alone these things?"
I explained a few words. A senior intellectual like Lan Jianguo would not believe what I had practiced. At most, he was just a little curious.
"Hey, Classmate Zhou is quite humble. It seems you don't know me very well."
Professor Lan smiled.
