"Dates?" Ma Sanniang threw one into her mouth. "Not bad. You grew them in your own yard?"
Li Pingan took a sip of tea. "This is the first basket in my yard."
Ma San Niang raised eyebrow, "Calculate you the boy still has a bit of conscience, not in vain old mother so take care of you."
"What's the commission this time?"
"Do you know Monk Silence?"
Ma Sanniang did not answer Li Pingan's question, but for himself lit the pipe, slowly said.
Li Pingan shook his head.
Ma Sanniang said, "He is a senior monk in the western regions. He has a deep dharma and is said to be a practitioner.".
Travel around the world to promote his ideas.
He was last seen deep in the desert, where he is rumored to have died.
Can find a lifetime of gold and silver treasure, as well as the best kung fu.
It is also rumored that he died into the sarira, with"Birth and disability, fill the gap" of the energy.
Can restore sight to the blind and regenerate the mutilated, you know."
Li Ping 'an raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Ma San Niang a smile, "How, have interest, don't say elder sister doesn't take care of you.".
This commission, several people rushed to rush to want, sister is forcibly withheld down to you."
Ma San Niang exhales a smoke to face, continue to say.
"Over the years, many people have tried and failed to find a place where the dead have died.
Until five years ago, a group of people found this mysterious treasure in the depths of the desert.
Then they quarreled among themselves, each trying to take possession of the treasure and killing each other.
Only one man survived and gained the treasure.
From then on, he disappeared without a trace.
But... we found him.
A father-in-law in the palace commissioned us to get this magical relic."
Li Ping 'an said, "Do you want me to take the Sarira for myself while I carry out the Commission?"
"How can I do that? The reputation of Lichun courtyard has finally been accumulated. I don't want to ruin it."
Ma San Niang body back, she was wearing less, chest out.
"So... I didn't take the Commission for your sake.
It's not so bad. Get your hands fixed and then get back to work."
Li Ping 'an was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you."
Ma San Niang said easily, but one of the twists and turns do not have to think can also guess.
"That old eunuch won't give up. After I refused him, I heard that he went to look for the killer of Listening Wind Pavilion.
....
The streets were as lively as ever.
The sound of buying and selling, the sound of shouting, the sound of bargaining... ... one after another.
The roadside bar small two carry food and wine to shuttle quickly.
In the brothels there were fist-fights, laughter and clinking glasses.
Li Ping 'an led the old cow along slowly.
Pass by the square city, feel a familiar atmosphere.
It was my neighbor Doha, the sister of Alia.
Doha with other western women, wearing a short-sleeved double-breasted blouse.
No ties, only in the chest with the lapel of the belt tied.
Long jet-black hair with a hairpin.
But at this time, that handsome face is rare a few minutes more sullen.
Several loafers jostled and jostled around Doha's stall.
"Fuck off!"
Since his father disappeared five years ago, Doha and his sister have been making a living in this area.
I don't know how many times this has happened.
The girl, who looked gentle and elegant, was forced to behave like a shrew and scold people in the street.
"Go home and drink your mother's Milk!" Doha cut her machete hard on the table.
Those few loafers not only are not afraid, on the contrary, they laugh.
"If you don't Drink Mine, can you drink yours?"
Doha with the body behind his sister, but the boys are not give up.
Rudely pushing Doha, from time to time issued unbridled laughter.
"Ah! Let me hold you."
The head of the juvenile body
The child suddenly stiffened and his arm was held down by a large hand.
Look at the muscles in the other person's arms, and then look at your own baby-like arms.
Young Leng for a moment, looked up, on a slightly scary face.
"Our Master says he doesn't want to see you in ANBEI."
The boy swallowed and looked away.
I saw an expensive carriage parked on the street, followed by several guards.
Master Meng of Nancheng, the murderer,
The rest of the boys were too scared to say a word and left quickly.
"Thank you," Doha said stiffly.
The guard said nothing more, but picked up a few items at random from the booth, dropped the money and left.
Li Ping 'an stood not far away, waiting for the South City Meng Ye left, before walking forward.
"Uncle! Beefy!"
Aliya a XI, ran to Niu Niu in front.
"Well, you go home with uncle, don't forget to heat up yesterday's dishes, or it will spoil."
Sister Doha quickly cleaned up the stall.
Every day after Doha closed her stall, she would go to the old house and stay there for half an hour.
More than half a year after his father left, his old house was taken away.
Doha was afraid that his father could not find a new home when he came back. When he was free, he wandered around the old house, hoping to meet his father.
Not A Day has gone by in the last five years.
"Uncle, I made a lot of money today."
On the way to protect the small hand in the arms of the money, a face of excitement.
"Aria can buy a lot of candied gourds."
Li Pingan smiled: "So many candied gourd a person to eat it?"
"I have to give it to my sister, uncle and Niu Niu. If My dad comes back..."
Aliya hesitated. "Well... Don't give it to Daddy."
"Why?"
"Because my dad is a bad guy, he didn't come back to see my sister for so long. My sister cries every night."
Li Pingan wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.
Just touched Aria's head.
Just returned home, found a few young men in short shirts sitting in the courtyard door.
"You're back? It's time to pay your monthly interest."
These youths are all members of the Fire Bears gang.
There are many gangs like the fire bears in the four towns of Anbei. The bigger ones manage an area and the smaller ones manage a street.
In anbei four towns have formed a complete process.
The government gang, the gang control law and order.
Of course not free, monthly interest.
There are some festivals of the flow of money, are inevitable.
Li Ping 'an paid the monthly interest of the month and took out some extra money.
"Thank you, second brother. This money is for a cup of tea."
Liu two nods, "Good say, these days harvest how."
"Thanks to my second brother, the harvest was good."
Liu Two patted Li Pingan's shoulder: "OK, someone is looking for trouble to mention the second brother's name."
Then they took the brothers away, but also to go to the next month to collect it.
This kind of thing, usually do not encounter any trouble.
In anbei four towns, compared with the government.
People are also more willing to trust the gangs.
Because most of the time, gangs are more reliable than the government.
Although it is for their own benefit, but also know the water long flow of the truth.
