Mountain. The green mountain, at dusk, seems to have turned into a fantastic and gorgeous deep purple. It is dusk now, and the hillside is full of roses and roses. Two little girls with big braids are picking flowers on the hillside, humming folk songs.

  Their singing was softer than the evening wind, and they were more beautiful than flowers. When Chai Qi walked up the hill, their singing suddenly stopped, and they all stared at him with wide eyes . Fortunately, Chai Qi was often stared at by women, so his face did not turn red, but he smiled instead.

  "Hey, what are you doing here?" The little girl had big eyes and a few light freckles on her nose, and looked playful and coquettish.

  Chai Qi smiled and said, "The flowers are blooming so beautifully, can't I come and take a look?"

  "No / The freckled girl's eyes widened and she said, "This place is ours, we don't welcome men!"

  Chai Qi sighed and said, "Girls shouldn't be so fierce. Girls who are too fierce may not be able to get married!"

  "So I'm never mean!" Another girl had a round face and two dimples when she smiled. She looked gentle and sweet. She smiled sweetly and said, "Since you like flowers, how about I give you two?" Chai Qi smiled and said, "Great."

  The girl with dimples came over, smiled sweetly and reached into the basket. What she took out from the basket was not flowers, but a pair of scissors, and suddenly stabbed Chai Qi . This sweet and gentle girl, her move was fierce, fast and cruel.

  Chai Qi was startled. Fortunately, this was not the first time a woman had stabbed him with scissors. He seemed to have been on guard for a long time. He turned and withdrew seven or eight

  The freckled girl shouted, "This guy doesn't look like a good guy, don't let him go."

  She also picked up a pair of scissors and stabbed at him. Her move was not slow.

  Chai Qi smiled bitterly and said, "These scissors are for cutting flowers. How can you use them to cut people?" He dodged a few moves, but the two girls' attacks became more and more fierce. He couldn't help but want to grab the scissors. Having a big hole pierced in his body was not a fun thing.

  At this moment, a person suddenly appeared on the hillside and said with a smile: "If you want to cut, you can only cut off his two small mustaches at most, and you must not really cut him to death!" She was wearing a snow-white dress, light and soft, standing on the hillside as if she could be blown away by the wind at any time. She was looking at Chai Qi , with a smile in her eyes that no one could describe how gentle it was.

  The two girls suddenly stopped, flipped in the air, and rushed in front of her. "Girl, do you recognize this person?"

  "Um"

  "Who is this person?"

  "Can't you see he has four eyebrows?"

  " Chai Qi ? This person is Chai Qi ?" The two girls laughed together and said with a giggle: "No wonder he smiles like a thief."

  Chai Qi sighed and said with a wry smile: "Young lady is a tigress. I didn't expect that the girl is even more vicious than the young lady. If it weren't for my cleverness, there might be 17 or 18 holes on her body now."

  The young lady bit her lip and said, "Who told you not to come and see me for so long? I really want to pierce you seventeen or eighteen times. I can only borrow..." She did not say the following words. Her face was already red, as red as the sunset beyond the distant mountains. She was actually very shy.

  Chai Qi looked at her and was completely fascinated.

  The lady's face turned even redder, and she said softly, "There's nothing on my face, why are you staring at me?"

  Chai Qi sighed and murmured, "Such a shy little girl is actually the 'cold Rakshasa' Irene Adler who makes everyone in the martial arts world feel daunted . Don't you think it's strange?"

  Irene Adler said, "You also feel overwhelmed when you see me?"

  Chai Qi sighed: "Although my head is not big, my heart is beating three times faster than usual."

  The girl with dimples laughed again and whispered, "This guy obviously has a pair of thieving eyes but a mouth that is sweeter than honey."

  Another girl also laughed quietly and said, "If it weren't for his sweet talk, how could the young lady think about him all the time?"

  Irene Adler glared at them and said with a red face, "You talkative girl, who said I was thinking about that unfaithful thief?" She was both angry and smiling, as if she was shy and annoyed, and the gorgeous sunset in the sky seemed to have lost its color.

  Chai Qi sighed and murmured, "I should have come a long time ago. Why did I wait until today?"

  Irene Adler said with a smile: "I know why you are doing this."

  Chai Qi said: "Do you know?"

  Irene Adler bit her lip again and said, "When you saw me, you forgot about others. When you saw others, you forgot about me. You are a heartless and heartless thief."

  Chai Qi smiled bitterly and said, "If I had known I would be scolded for coming, I would have rather not come."

  Irene Adler sneered: "Do you think I can't guess your pettiness? If you didn't have something to ask of me, would you come?

  Chai Qi had no choice but to admit, "I do have something to do, but I'm not here to ask you for help!

  Irene Adler said with a straight face: "Tell me, who are you looking for?"

  Chai Qi said: "Looking for the old lady"

  Irene Adler (Xue Bing Adler) is weird / What are you up to? Why are you looking for her? "

  Chai Qi said: “I want to ask her something!

  Irene Adler said: "I don't allow you to bother her. If you have any questions, ask me.

  Chai Qi said: "It's a pity that you will never understand this matter."

  Irene Adler asked, "What don't I understand?"

  Chai Qi said: "Embroidery."

  Irene Adler was even more puzzled. "Embroidery? You want to learn embroidery, too? When did you become a seamstress?"

  Chai Qi asked, "Can only tailors learn embroidery?"

  Irene Adler said: "I won't believe you really want to learn embroidery even if you kill me!

  Chai Qi had no choice but to admit it. But I really have something I want to ask her, so just take me there!

  Irene Adler said: "Don't forget that I am also the descendant of Madam Xue, the Needle Goddess. Why don't you come and ask me for advice?"

  Chai Qi sighed and said, "I know you never want to touch an embroidery needle. Yes, you told me yourself that as soon as you pick up an embroidery needle, you want to fall asleep!

  Irene Adler said, "You still remember what I said?"

  Chai Qi said: "I remember every word, so you should take me to see her as soon as possible, I..."

  Irene Adler looked at him with a half-smile and said, "I just won't take you with me. Let's see what you think."

  Mrs. Xue is already 77 years old this year, and anyone can tell that she is a 77-year-old woman. In dim occasions, many people would even think that she is only 27 or 28 at most. Her attitude is always dignified and perfect, her eyes are still bright, her demeanor is still moving, especially when she sees the young people she likes, her eyes even reveal a girlish and charming demeanor.

  Chai Qi was the young man she liked. Chai Qi also liked her. He always hoped that every woman could be as beautiful as her when she reached her age. He always hoped that the world would become more lovely.

  Old Mrs. Xue was looking at him and said with a smile: "You should come to see me more often. After all, a woman of my age is no longer a danger to you. At least you don't need to worry that I will force you to marry me."

  Chai Qi deliberately sighed: "I want to come here more often, but Irene Adler always won't let me. I come..."

  Mrs. Xue said, oh?

  Chai Qi said: "She refused to bring me here today."

  Mrs. Xue asked, "Why?"

  Chai Qi blinked and said, "I don't know why she did that.

  She must be jealous."

  Old Mrs. Xue giggled, her eyes began to sparkle, and the wrinkles on her face also receded.

  Chai Qi immediately took the opportunity to hand over the piece of red satin and said, "This is something I would like you to have a look at."

  Old Mrs. Xue only glanced at it with the corner of her eye, and immediately showed disdain on her face. She shook her head and said, "What's so good about this? When I was six years old, I embroidered better than him."

  Chai Qi smiled and said, "I'm not asking you to look at the flowers embroidered on it, I'm asking you to look at this, the satin and silk thread."

  Old Madam Xue said, "I have read these things thousands and hundreds of times. Do you still want me to read them?"

  Chai Qi said: "It is because you have seen so much that I want your discerning eye to judge.

  Excuse me, where are these satin and silk threads from? Where, where are they sold?"

  Mrs. Xue took it, touched it lightly with her fingertips, and immediately said, "This satin is from Fu Ruixiang in Beijing, and the silk thread is sold by Fu Ji. The two shops have the same owner, and they are right next door to each other."

  Chai Qi said , "You can only buy this kind of goods in their main store in the capital?"

  Mrs. Xue said: "These two stores are the only ones of their kind. There is no other store like them."

  Chai Qi asked, "Have any been sold to other places?"

  Old Master Xue said: "Even if there are some in other places, they are bought by customers themselves and taken back. She explained: "The goods sold in this store are all high-quality, self-made and self-sold. The production is not large, and the storefront is small. The boss Yang Afu is a very honest person and does not want to make a fortune."

  Chai Qi asked, "Where is his shop in the capital?"

  Old Madam Xue said, "It's behind Widow Wang's Street, in a very quiet alley. It hasn't expanded for decades. Except for the real experts, few people would go there to buy." She suddenly smiled and said, "Tell me the truth, are you fascinated by this woman again, but she just avoids you, so you want to find her with this thing?"

  Chai Qi was stunned for a long time before he said in a lost voice: "Woman? Could this be embroidered by a woman?"

  Old Lady Xue said: "Of course it was embroidered by a woman."

  Chai Qi said: "You... - Could you be seeing things?"

  Mrs. Xue was a little unhappy, and said with a stern face: "Can you mistake a woman? Can you mistake an old woman for a little girl?"

  Chai Qi said: "No."

  Old Mrs. Xue said, "I am ten times more knowledgeable about this kind of thing than you are about women. If I am wrong, I would rather lose my precious granddaughter to you."

  Chai Qi smiled apologetically and said, "Even if you really lose to me, I wouldn't dare to accept it."

  Old Man Xue stared and asked, "Why don't you dare to accept her? Is she ugly?"

  Chai Qi laughed and said, "She's not ugly at all, just a little too fierce. Last time she bit me and almost bit off my ear." Irene Adler had been standing obediently by her side. Now her face flushed again and she lowered her head even lower.

  Old Mrs. Xue also laughed. You all say she is fierce, but I think she is not fierce at all. She is very well behaved.

  She took Irene Adler 's hand and said with a smile: "The only problem with you is that you are too shy. Actually, there is nothing to be ashamed of. It is natural for a woman to bite a man!"

  Irene Adler's ears turned red, and she said softly, "I won't bite him, he stinks.

  Mrs. Xue laughed and said, "If you didn't bite someone, how would you know that he stinks?

  Irene Adler moaned, turned around and ran away. Although she ran fast, she still remembered to secretly glare at Chai Qi and whispered, "Be careful!" Chai Qi looked at her, and seemed to be infatuated again.

  Old Mrs. Xue narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Do you want to go out with me? Go ahead, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." Chai Qi hesitated, his eyes fixed on the red satin in her hand.

  Old Madam Xue said with a smile: "What are you staring at? Are you afraid that I won't return it to you?" She smiled and threw the piece of red satin to Chai Qi , and said: "If there are two pieces, I can make a pair of shoes for the maid. But with only one piece..."

  Before she finished speaking, Chai Qisi asked, "What do you think this can be used for?"

  Mrs. Xue said, "Of course it's for making shoes. This is originally a shoe upper."

  Chai Qi seemed to be stunned again, and said hesitantly: "Can you make a pair of red shoes?"

  Old Mrs. Xue shook her head and laughed, "Of course they are red shoes. How can red satin make a pair of black shoes? You look smart, when did you become a fool?"

  Chai Qi sighed and said, "I was just shocked."

  Mrs. Xue asked, "What are you afraid of?"

  Chai Qi said: "I'm afraid she is hiding outside the door waiting to bite me."

  As expected, he was bitten as soon as he went out. As expected, Irene Adler was waiting outside, and the bite was really severe.

  Chai Qi touched his ear and said with a wry smile, "It seems that I am almost like Zhuge Liang, who can predict the future like a god."

  Irene Adler glared, "You're actually trying to sow discord by saying, 'I didn't bring you here. If I didn't bring you here, how could you come?' I didn't really bite off your ear. I was already very polite to you."

  Chai Qi had no choice but to shut up. When a girl is deliberately causing trouble, any smart man will shut up.

  Irene Adler suddenly snatched the red satin from his hand and said, "Let me ask you who embroidered this and why do you treat it like a treasure?"

  Chai Qi said: "Because it is a treasure."

  Irene Adler sneered: "Damn it, baby! I don't think it's worth a penny!

  Chai Qi said: "You are wrong this time. It is worth at least 18 hu of pearls, 800,000 taels of silver, and 9,000 taels of gold leaves."

  Irene Adler looked at him in surprise and asked, "Are you crazy?"

  Chai Qi said: "I don't have it."

  The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

  Irene Adler said: "If you are not crazy, why would you talk nonsense! Chai Qi sighed. He knew that even if he didn't want to tell her about this, she would force him to tell it sooner or later. It would be better for him to tell it first.

  Irene Adler listened quietly, her eyes shining, and waited until he finished before asking: "Apart from this thing, don't you have any other clues?"

  Chai Qidao: No.

  Irene Adler said: So you want to go to Fu Ruixiang in the capital and ask when this material was sold? Who bought it?

  Chai Qi said: "I just hope that not many people buy this kind of red satin recently."

  Irene Adler blinked and said, "It seems that the business in the silk shop is accounted for every year!"

  Chai Qi said: "So I have to go now."

  Irene Adler said: "Okay, we will set off early tomorrow morning."

  Chai Qi was stunned for a moment and asked, "We?"

  Irene Adler said: "We."

  Chai Qi asked: "Are you included among us?"

  Irene Adler said: "Of course"

  Chai Qi said calmly: "If it includes you, then it definitely does not include me."

  Irene Adler glared and asked, "You don't want to take me with you?"

  Chai Qi said: "I don't want to."

  Irene Adler stared at him for a long time, then suddenly rolled her eyes and said, "You seemed surprised when she mentioned the red shoes just now."

  Chai Qi said: “Well!

  Irene Adler said: "Have you ever seen someone wearing red shoes?"

  Chai Qidao : "There are many people wearing red saddles."

  Irene Adler said: "But some of them are very special. For example, some people who shouldn't wear red shoes happen to wear red shoes." Chai Qi began to be moved. He had not forgotten the red shoe that the fake King Jinpeng tightly grasped in his hand when he died.

  Irene Adler certainly wouldn’t miss the look on his face, and asked leisurely, “Do you know why these people have to wear red shoes?”

  Chai Qi said: "I don't know."

  Irene Adler said: "You might as well know who these people wearing red shoes are? Do you know what the secret of red shoes is?"

  Chai Qi said: "I don't know."

  Irene Adler said, "I know." Chai Qi took a deep breath, and his heart started beating faster again. The "secret of the red shoes" had indeed touched him. But he didn't ask. He knew that even if he asked now, Irene Adler wouldn't tell him. Irene Adler glanced at him with the corner of her eyes and asked leisurely, "Do you want to know these secrets?"

  Chai Qi said: "I want to."

  Irene Adler said: "So, do you want to take me to the capital now?"

  Chai Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I do. I miss you so much."

  Chai Qi didn't like riding in a carriage. He would rather ride a horse or even walk. But now he was sitting in a carriage because Irene Adler liked it. Irene Adler was a quiet person. She couldn't even walk with big steps. At least she always pretended to be like that.

  Fortunately, the car was moving steadily, because the road was flat, and the road to the capital was always flat. Chai Qi sat in the car and touched his chin. His chin seemed to be very sore. He suddenly realized that he had smiled bitterly too many times recently, and his chin was sore from laughing. Irene Adler was sitting opposite him, looking at him, her eyes still filled with that kind of gentle smile that no one could describe.

  Chai Qi couldn't help but said, "Now you can finally tell me the secret, right?"

  Irene Adler asked, "What secret?" She seemed to have completely forgotten about it.

  Chai Qidao : "Of course it's the secret of the red shoes"

  Irene Adler said: "Oh, this secret, it's not time to tell it yet!

  Chai Qi said: "How long do we have to wait before we can tell you?"

  Irene Adler said: "When I am happy, I am not very happy now"

  Chai Qi said: "Why are you unhappy?"

  Irene Adler said: "No one would be happy sitting across from a big fool."

  Chai Qi said: "Who is the big fool?"

  Irene Adler said: "You."

  Chai Qi suddenly found himself smiling bitterly again. "Am I a traitor? Or a fool?"

  Irene Adler said, "Both." She smiled leisurely and added, "Because if you weren't a traitor, you wouldn't be so mean to me. If you weren't a fool, you wouldn't be so eager to rush to the capital."

  Chai Qi was puzzled: Why would going to the capital make one a fool?

  Irene Adler said: "Let me ask you, what do you want to do?"

  Chai Qi said: "You clearly know it"

  Irene Adler said, "Go ask Fu Ruixiang's guy who bought this piece of satin?"

  Chai Qi said: “That’s right!

  Irene Adler said: "For such satin, they have no idea how much it will sell for. Even if they all remember it, can you still ask them one by one?"

  Chai Qi said: "But those who only buy red satin and black silk thread will not be too

  Irene Adler said: "Besides, since this person always keeps to himself, of course he bought it by himself."

  Chai Qi said: "Yes, this kind of thing is a secret, it's best not to let anyone else know."

  Irene Adler suddenly sneered and said, "But how do you know that she only buys black silk thread and red satin?"

  Chai Qi said: "Because she only used these two."

  Irene Adler said, "So she can only buy these two things. She can't buy anything else. Buy? Is there anyone who forbids her to buy more?"

  Chai Qi said: "But she only needs these two things."

  Irene Adler sneered and retreated / "She can't buy it if she doesn't need it? Does she have to buy a lot of black silk and red satin to attract other people's attention so that you can catch her? Do you think she is a big fool like you?" Chai Qi was speechless.

  Irene Adler said, "Since this matter is very secret, why would she leave such obvious clues for you to find? If she had left any clues, by the time you were looking for them, she might have already burned Fury to ashes."

  Chai Qi was stunned for a long time, then he sighed and said, "It seems that I am indeed a big fool."

  Irene Adler said: "And he is also a treacherous thief!

  Chai Qi said: "So there is no need to go to the capital!

  Irene Adler said: "It's useless to go there."

  Chai Qi said: "Since you are not going to the capital, why did you take this road just now?

  Irene Adler said with a smile, "Because I know there's a place up ahead that has some really good wine, and I also know that you're always very generous and will definitely treat me to a couple of drinks."

  Chai Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Although I am stupid and a thief, at least I have one good thing. At least I am not stingy." Irene Adler said, "As long as a man has this good thing, many girls will like him."

  When I opened the car window, I could see a small river in the distance, and in the willow forest, a green cloth wine flag was hanging diagonally.

  Irene Adler's eyes immediately lit up and she said, "This is where the wine is sold."

  Chai Qi said: "This place looks quite elegant."

  Irene Adler said: “The wine is also very good, great!

  Chai Qi looked at her shining eyes and couldn't help laughing: "When did you become an alcoholic?"

  Irene Adler said: "Recently."

  Chai Qi said: "The old lady has been forbidding me to drink recently. The more she forbids me to drink, the more I want to drink. Besides..." She glanced at Chai Qi with the corner of her eye and said bitterly: "Ever since we broke up last time, I asked you to come to me, but you didn't come. How can I be in a good mood?" Chai Qi didn't dare to answer anymore. He knew that if he continued to speak, his ear might be bitten again.

  He didn't want to become a person with only one ear. One ear is not worthy of four eyebrows.

  This place is indeed very elegant. The river is curved, and the green coconuts are shrouded in mist, especially at dusk. The green water reflects the red clouds, and the face is as red as peach blossoms. There are several thatched houses through the willow forest. The wine tables are set up on the beach outside, and there are a few vitiligo flowers planted leisurely next to them. Irene Adler suddenly realized that Chai Qi was not here for the first time. He even knew where to go to the bathroom. But just now he pretended that he had never even heard of this place.

  "This kid has learned to play dumb again recently. What should we do?" Irene Adler sighed. This man is like a fish. It is not easy to catch him. Maybe she should think of some better ways to deal with him.

  The guy has come over. He is a country guy with straight brows and rough hands and feet.

  Irene Adler said, "First, give us five or six pounds of the best bamboo leaf greens, with four dishes of cold dishes and four dishes of hot dishes, and then kill a live old hen to stew soup." In fact, she didn't eat much, but she liked to watch. When many people were drinking, the dishes were placed for viewing, and Miss Xue liked to drink while looking at the table full of delicious dishes.

  The waiter glared at her and suddenly said coldly: "You want so much food and drink for two people? You're going to be stuffed to death?" Irene Adler was stunned. She had never seen such a waiter before.

  The waiter sneered and said, "If a woman eats too much, she will never be able to get married. If you want to marry that little mustache, you'd better eat less, otherwise he won't be able to support you."

  Irene Adler was even more surprised. "Who are you? Do you recognize that mustache?"

  The waiter rolled his eyes, lowered his head, and whispered something in her ear. Irene Adler listened, her eyes widened, and suddenly she laughed, holding the waiter's arm and whispering something in his ear. The two of them looked very intimate. Of course, she was not the only guest in this place, and the other guests were all staring at her.

  How could such a quiet and elegant beauty be so friendly with this rough-handed boy? Although they were surprised, Irene Adler didn't care, and of course the boy didn't care either. Chai Qi finally cleared out the food in his stomach and walked back with a stern face, as if he was a little unhappy.

  Irene Adler's eyes flickered as she said, "There will be wine soon, and you're still not happy?"

  Chai Qi sneered and couldn't help asking, "When did you learn to put your arm around a man in public?"

  Irene Adler blinked and said, "Man? What man?"

  Chai Qi said with a straight face: "Wasn't that guy just now a man?" No one would be happy to see the woman they brought being so intimate with another man.

  Irene Adler laughed and whispered, "You are such a fool. If I get closer to him now, won't he get a better deal later when he settles the bill? Don't you understand this?" Chai Qi really didn't understand. Irene Adler was not that kind of person.

  At this time, the waiter had brought the cup and chopsticks over, and put them on the table with a "bang". He glared at Chai Qi and muttered, "Such a beautiful flower is stuck in cow dung."

  Chai Qi was also stunned. Did this guy take the wrong medicine? Irene Adler was covering her mouth and giggling.

  Chai Qi looked at the waiter's back and suddenly smiled. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a drunk man staggering over to him. He held a wine glass in one hand and patted him with the other hand, smiling and saying, "I recognize you. We've met before."

  Chai Qi could only smile. He had indeed seen this man. It seemed that he had seen him at someone's birthday party. He still remembered that this man was called Sun Zhong, and it was said that he was a very famous man in the underworld. That time, this man was just like now, not only was his eyes dizzy with alcohol, but his tongue was also enlarged.

  Chai Qi has a principle: when he is drunk, he never messes with sober people, and when he is sober, he never messes with drunk people.

  But Sun Zhong just wanted to provoke him. He actually walked over and sat down and said, "I still remember you, little mustache, but I forgot your last name?" It would be best if he forgot . Chai Qi would certainly not tell him.

  Irene Adler with his eyes wide open , and said with a smile: "The girl you brought is so pretty, like a daffodil that can be squeezed to produce water." It turned out that he came for Irene Adler . Seeing Irene Adler and the shop assistant so intimate, the boy must have been moved. Irene Adler blushed, lowered her head, and didn't even dare to raise her eyelids.

  Chai Qi sighed and said, "You seem a little drunk, why don't you find a place to rest?" He really didn't want to cause trouble, nor did he want Sun Zhong to cause trouble. No matter who messed with "Cold Rakshasa", the trouble would not be too small.

  Unexpectedly, Sun Zhong didn't hear what he said at all. He just stared at Irene Adler with his eyes wide open. Suddenly, he patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, you really have a way. If you want to come today, just come to me, Sun."

  Chai Qi was able to hold back his anger and said calmly, "Nothing will happen to me. It looks like you are about to get into trouble. I advise you..."

  Before Sun Zhong could finish, he glared at him and shouted, "I'm asking you to give way because I'm giving you face. Are you going to give way or not?"

  Chai Qi could only sigh again and said, "Why don't you ask her herself?"

  Sun Zhongren smiled and said, "I don't need to ask, I know she likes me. How am I not better than your little mustache!" Irene Adler 's face became even redder and her head hung even lower, making her look even more charming.

  Sun Zhong was drooling at what he saw and said, "Little girl, would you like to come with me over there to have a drink?" Irene Adler blushed and shook her head.

  Sun Zhongdao: "It has to be good even if it's not good! He actually reached out and held Irene Adler 's hand."

  Irene Adler lowered her head and said softly, "Can you please let go of my hand?"

  Sun Jin smiled and said, "No."

  Irene Adler 's face suddenly turned pale, and she said coldly, "You definitely won't let go?"

  Sun Zhong said: "Even if you cut off my hand, I won't let go!"

  Irene Adler said, "Okay." She suddenly reached out and took out the knife from Sun Zhong's waist.

  Chai Qi saw her face turn pale, he knew something was wrong and was about to persuade her, but the knife had already been unsheathed. Sun Zhong saw the knife flash and came to his senses. He tried to grab the knife, but the knife flashed and one of his hands was chopped off, falling to the ground in blood.

  His pupils suddenly contracted, and his eyeballs seemed to bulge out. He looked at the severed hand on the ground, and then at Irene Adler , as if he still didn't believe it was true. Just when he began to believe it, he screamed and fell down. Drunk people always react more slowly. His friends were sitting opposite him, watching with a smile, but now they rushed over with a roar.

  Chai Qi deliberately didn't look at them and frowned, "Why did you cut off his hand?"

  Irene Adler said with a straight face, "He told me to chop it off."

  Chai Qi said: "But he is drunk."

  Irene Adler said: "We are still human even when we are drunk."

  Chai Qi suddenly made a move, snatched the knife from her hand, and gently twisted it with two fingers. The steel knife immediately broke into one piece, and then broke into another piece.

  He twisted it a few times with just two fingers, and in a moment he had twisted the sharp knife made of fine steel into seven or eight pieces. He frowned and said, "Strange, how can this broken knife be able to cut off a person's hand?" The people who had already rushed over were stunned and stared at him in surprise with wide eyes.

  One of them couldn't help but ask, "What's your name, friend?"

  "My last name is Chai "

  "The road of the road?"

  " Chai Qi , Xiao Chai "

  The man who was originally stunned suddenly turned pale again: "You...you are Chai Qi ?" Chai Qi nodded.

  No one spoke anymore, they just picked up the person on the ground and left.

  "You even forgot about Chai Qi . You deserve it even if both your hands are cut off." Irene Adler smiled and said, "I didn't expect that these three words Chai Qi can ward off evil."

  Chai Qi sighed and smiled bitterly: "I knew you were a troublemaker. I really shouldn't have brought you out."

  Irene Adler asked, "Was it him who caused the trouble? Or was it me?" Chai Qi said, "You shouldn't have really cut off his hand."

  Irene Adler said: "He told me to chop it off."

  Chai Qi said: "He is drunk."

  Irene Adler said: "Does it mean you can bully others when you are drunk?"

  The waiter was carrying some wine and said coldly, "Even if he's drunk, he's still a human being. It wouldn't be unfair for him to be stabbed 180 times."

  Irene Adler said with a smile: "Yes, you are still reasonable." The waiter snorted, put the wine on the table heavily, turned around and walked away without even looking at Chai Qi !

  Chai Qi said coldly with a sullen face: "For a man like you, it's not unfair to chop you 360 times." He suddenly made a move, pinched a piece of the blade with two fingers, and stabbed the waiter's back. The waiter didn't even turn his head, and his body suddenly flew up lightly, as if he had suddenly grown wings. How could a waiter selling wine in a place like this have such a high level of Qinggong?

  Chai Qi sneered, "I think you are not a good person, you are indeed a thief." He sneered and waved his hand, and the half blade in his hand suddenly flew out and hit the waist of the guy like lightning. The guy was in mid-air. There was no place to borrow a knife, and Chai Qi 's move was too urgent and too fast, and he could not avoid it.

  Irene Adler shouted, "Are you really going to kill him?"

  Chai Qi said coldly: "Don't worry, he won't die." Before he finished his words, the guy had already somersaulted three times in the air and even grabbed the blade.

  Then it fell down lightly.

  Irene Adler looked at him, then at Chai Qi , and said with a smile, "So you already know who he is."

  Chai Qi still had a straight face and said, "I only know that he is a thief."

  The guy suddenly laughed and said, "If I were a thief, what about you?"

  Chai Qi said: "I am a thief ancestor."

  The waiter actually did not serve the dishes or wine, but sat down and said with a smile: "It's a pity that you don't even have the materials to be a thief. The best you can do is to dig for earthworms."

  Irene Adler blinked and said, "What earthworms are you digging for?"

  The guy laughed and said, "You don't know. He has no other skills, but he is an expert at digging earthworms. He actually dug 680 earthworms for me in ten days."

  Irene Adler couldn't help asking, "What do you need so many earthworms for?"

  The waiter said, "I don't even want a single earthworm. I just like watching him dig for earthworms. His movements are so beautiful and methodical, and it's even better than the famous actors in the capital performing. It's a pity that you missed it."

  Irene Adler held back her laughter and said, "It's okay. I'll have another chance next time."

  The guy asked, "Will there be a next time?"

  Irene Adler said seriously: "Of course there are. Digging earthworms is like drinking alcohol. It's addictive. Once someone digs earthworms once, he won't be able to do it again unless you tell him to!"

  Chai Qi said coldly: "Next time I dig up earthworms, I will definitely stuff them into your mouths."

  The guy who took the wrong medicine was, of course, Arsène Lupin .

  The guests who were drinking had already been scared away, so the three of them were happy to have some peace and quiet. The only one who suffered was the owner of the hotel.

  Irene Adler poured a glass of wine for Arsène Lupin and said with a smile: "You are a thief and you are doing well. Why do you want to change your career and sell wine?"

  Chai Qi said: "Because he has this disease." Of course, he has not forgotten the last time Arsène Lupin dressed up as Zhao Damazi. No one can forget that kind of thing.

  Sikong Gexing smiled and said, "I hid it from you last time, but it seems I didn't this time.

  Chai Qi stared at him and said, "It seems you don't really want to hide it from me this time." No wine seller in the world would have such a big problem. If he didn't intend to let Chai Qi see through him, why would he deliberately act so weird?

  Arsène Lupin suddenly sighed and said, "Ever since you rushed into the fire to save Zhao Damazi last time, I've discovered that you can really make friends."

  Chai Qi said: "But you still want me to dig earthworms."

  Arsène Lupin laughed again and said, "You seem to be afraid that others don't know about this, so you have to tell everyone you meet."

  Chai Qi's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Have you met Matt Murdock and Javert ?"

  Si Zhong Zhaixing said: "Yeah!"

  Chai Qi said: "They told you that I was coming to see Irene Adler ?" Arsène Lupin nodded.

  Chai Qi asked: "So you knew I was going to come here to drink?"

  Arsène Lupin said: "So I will wait here."

  Chai Qi said: "Waiting to buy me a drink?"

  Sikong Gexing sighed again and said, "You know it's not true, and I don't want to lie to you."

  Chai Qi said: "I only know that we are friends."

  Arsène Lupin said: "What's strange is that many people want me to steal your things."

  Chai Qi asked, "What do you want to steal this time?"

  Arsène Lupin asked, "Do you have a red plaque on your body?"

  Chai Qi smiled and said, "You know what I have, and I don't want to lie to you."

  Arsène Lupin asked, "Is there a black peony embroidered on the red satin?"

  Chai Qi asked, "Is this the piece of red satin you want to steal?"

  Arsène Lupin said: "Yes."

  Chai Qi said: "Since you admit that we are friends, why do you still want to steal me?"

  Arsène Lupin said: "Shem has promised me someone!

  Chai Qi said: "Why did you agree?"

  Arsène Lupin said: "I must agree to it!"

  Chai Qi asked, "Why?"

  Si Zhong Zhaixing said: "I owed this person a favor."

  Chai Qi asked, "Is this person accurate?"

  Si Zhongzhaixian smiled bitterly and said, "Since you said I wouldn't tell you, why bother..."

  Chai Qi smiled and said, "It seems like you owe me a favor. Not only did I save you, I also dug 680 earthworms for you."

  Arsène Lupin said: "That's why I'm telling you the truth now."

  Chai Qi said: "Even though you told me, you still want to steal it?"

  Arsène Lupin said: "A piece of red satin like this is not worth much."

  Chai Qi said: "You never steal anything valuable."

  Arsène Lupin said: "Since you have already seen it, there is no point in keeping it!"

  Chai Qi asked, "Do you want me to give it to you?"

  Arsène Lupin said: "I do mean that."

  Chai Qi blinked and said, "We might as well make a deal!"

  Arsène Lupin asked , "What deal?"

  Chai Qi said: "As long as you tell me who asked you to come here, I will let you steal."

  Si Zhong Zhaixing said: "This deal cannot be negotiated!"

  Chai Qi sighed again and said, "Since the deal can't be concluded, we can only gamble."

  Si Zhong Zhaixing asked: "How do we bet?"

  Chai Qi said, "Do you know how many guest rooms there are in the back of this place?"

  Arsène Lupin said, "There are six."

  Chai Qi said: "I will stay here tonight and wait for you to steal!"

  Arsène Lupin frowned and said, "Since you already knew I was going to steal, how could I still steal it?"

  Chai Qi laughed and said, "Since you are the king of thieves, and you are invincible in stealing all over the world, there must be a way."

  Si Zhong Zhaixing's eyes suddenly lit up and asked, "What if I really have a way to steal it?"

  Chai Qi said, "The thing is with me. If you can steal it, I am willing to dig another 680 earthworms for you!" Arsène Lupin said, "Whatever method I use, it doesn't matter."

  Chai Qi said: "Of course it's up to you."

  Arsène Lupin said: "There are some methods that I would rather not use on my friends."

  Chai Qi said: "You don't have to treat me as a friend tonight!

  Arsène Lupin suddenly raised his glass and drank it all, saying, "Okay, I'll make a bet with you. If I lose, I'm willing to dig earthworms for you!"

  Chai Qi said, "I don't want you to dig for earthworms."

  Arsène Lupin said, "You still want me to kneel down and call you uncle as soon as I see you?"

  Chai Qi laughed and said, "This time I'm going to call you ancestor."

  Arsène Lupin said, "It's a deal."

  Chai Qi said: "Whoever blames is a bastard." Irene Adler said with a smile: "It seems that no matter who loses this time, I will have something interesting to watch. Sikong Gexing said it is not evening yet."

  Chai Qi said: "So we want to treat you to a drink."

  Chai Qi smiled again and said, "I just hope you don't poison the wine."

  Arsène Lupin also smiled and said, "I just hope you don't get me drunk."
