Understoodfromold manthatseveralScarlet Whale Gangsmallfootholdsandin the help/gang the personnel structurecharacteristics, Lu Shengthenleftfrom the graveyard.
从老头子那了解了几个赤鲸帮的小据点和帮中人员结构特征,路胜便从墓园离开了。
The 2nd day, Lu Shengthencame outto strollvery early in the morning, plansto search the Scarlet Whale Gangpoint.
第二日,路胜一大早便出来闲逛,打算探探赤鲸帮的点。
When passed by a High Street, in the city a bigstoreis holding the discount, herediscountwas not called the preferential benefit, butcalled the uniformritual.
路过一条繁华街道时,城里一家大商铺正在举行优惠活动,这里的优惠活动不叫优惠,而叫匀礼。A group ofchildrencollectin the shopentrance, therebuiltwooden table, abovehad the peoplesoundto speak, attractspassed by the pedestrianto wait and seemuch.
一大群小孩子们凑在店铺门口,那里搭建了一个木台子,上边有人大声说着话,吸引了不少路过行人观望。Lu Shengcast a sidelong glance, then the planleavesrapidly.路胜原本只是瞟了一眼,便打算迅速离开。But when passed by the stage, the midwayactuallynotices, surroundsin the crowd, there aremuchin ragsemaciated.
但路过高台时,中途却注意到,围观中的人群里,有不少衣衫褴褛面黄肌瘦的。„Border Mountain Citypeople's livesare always good, beforehad not seenhas had the so manyrefugeesamepeople to walkon the street, all of a suddento be how manyso manyto come?”
“沿山城一向民众生活不错,以前也没见过有这么多难民一样的人在街上行走,怎么一下子多出这么多来?”Lu Shenghas not paid attention to wooden table the storebusiness of loudspeech. Butcarefullyobservestheserefugeepeople.路胜没理会木台子上正在大声说话的商铺商家。而是仔细观察这些难民似的的民众。Theirfacial coloris dehumanizing, ineyesalsohas no chance, butstandsnear the wooden table, expected that the storesends the thing that the pointcanappease hunger.
他们面色凄苦,一个个眼睛里也没什么希望,只是站在木台边,期望商铺发点能充饥的东西。Lu Shengproceeded a distance, thenheardfrontrightonegroup of peopleto assemble, the person of assemblingalsooftenwhispered, discusses spiritedly.路胜又往前走了一段距离,便听到前面右侧处又有一群人围聚,围聚的人还不时交头接耳,议论纷纷。Heapproaches, separates the crowdto look.
他走近过去,分开人群一看。
A pairis hungriermuch the couple, in rags, is holding one 3 or 4-year-oldlittle girl, knelton the ground, on the neckhung a bark, aboveused the crookedgreycharcoal drawing a simpledesign, seemed likeappearance of onestring of good money.
一对饿得皮包骨头的夫妇,衣不蔽体,正抱着一个才三四岁的小女孩,跪在地上,脖子上挂了一块树皮,上边用歪歪扭扭的灰炭画了一个简单图案,似乎是一串大钱的样子。„Everyoneacts charitably, my daughterthis yearis onlythree years old, obedientsensible, has regular facial features, asking the person of good intentionto show mercy....Enjoys a foodto eat...” The womansorrowsound said of thatkneelingplace.
“各位行行好,我女儿今年才三岁,听话懂事,五官端正,求好心人发发慈悲....赏口饭吃...”那跪地的妇人哀声道。Standsis ignorantin her nearbygirlface, appearance that anythingdoes not know.
站在她一旁的女孩还一脸懵懂,什么也不知道的样子。Lu Shengknits the brows, squeezes out the crowd, proceeded, unexpectedlysawto sell the daughterson. Is the ageverylittlechildren.路胜皱了皱眉,挤出人群,又往前走了一段,居然又看到有卖女儿儿子的。都是年纪很小的孩子。„So manyrefugees who inthiscitywherecome?”Lu Shengcannot bearmutter.
“这城里哪来的这么多难民?”路胜忍不住喃喃道。On the road of strolling, hesawall the waymore thanfivesellsellsfemaleothers. Thismakesinhisheartsink, the heartalsoeven morehas doubts.
闲逛的路上,他一路上看到了不下五处卖儿卖女的人家。这让他心中微沉,心头也越发疑惑起来。After allbeforehearrives atthisworld, mayneverseethisgrade of tragedy, took a familyto arrivesoldsells the femalesituation, whatdegreethisneedsto meet misfortune, has tomakethisgrade of choice?
毕竟在他来到这世界之前,可从未见过这等惨事,要一个家庭到了卖儿卖女的地步,这需要落难到什么程度,才不得不做出这等选择?When the timewas up, Lu Shenglittlebuilding who returns to itselfbefore, distilleryentrancealsoyoungwomen in building, kneelon the groundunexpectedlyare selling themselves. With an outsidevoice, during the speechesalsolistens unclear.
等到时间差不多了,路胜回到自家所在的小楼前,一楼的酒坊门口居然也有一个年轻女人,跪在地上在卖自己。操着一口外地口音,说话间也听不大清楚。Lu Shenglooked at the eye, sees the distillerysmalltwoalsowatch the funin the , thenapproachedseveralstepsto ask the sentence.路胜看了眼,见酒坊的小二也在边上看热闹,便走近几步问了句。„Howinthiscity did so manyrefugeescome inrecently? Outsidewhatdisaster?”
“怎么最近这城里这么多难民进来?外面出什么灾祸了么?”Thatsmall21seeisLu Sheng, knows that thisis occupied by the honored personinownliquorFanglou, grovelsto sayhastily.
那小二一见是路胜,也知道这位住在自家酒坊楼上的贵人,连忙点头哈腰回道。„Returns to the young master, thiswas notYun Stateby the great drought, does not know that manypeoplehave not eaten, fled in all directionseverywhere, the population that the middlestarved to deathsufficed1/10 of Border Mountain Citypopulation. Thatmiserable.....”smalltwoshake the headto sighall the way, „juststarted, heard that ourcityhas not madetheserefugeescome, afterwardsaw is too miserable, the masters of yamendo not have the heart, thenorderedpassing through, makingfewrefugeesenter a city. Actuallyourcityis good, the Central Plaindirection, many citieswere pushed the grain priceto riseby the refugeecrazily.”
“回公子,这不是云州遭了大旱吗,不知道多少人没吃的,到处流窜,中间饿死的人数都够沿山城人口的十分之一了。一路上那个惨啊.....”小二摇头叹气,“刚开始,听说我们城还不让这些难民进来,后来见实在太惨,衙门的老爷也于心不忍,便下令开了通行,让为数不多的难民进城。其实我们城还好,中原方向,有不少城池都被难民挤得粮价狂涨。”„Yun State.....”Lu Shengknowsthisplace, west ofCentral Plain, is a regionis called, has not thought that placegreat droughtdisaster situationis so serious. Theseaverage people, to cometoherefrom that farplace, the midwaydoes not knowcasualtymanypeople.
“云州啊.....”路胜知道这地方,是在中原以西,是一块区域的统称,没想到那地方大旱灾情这么严重。这么些普通人,要想从那么远的地方到这里来,中途不知道死伤多少人。„Yes....Hears...”Small about twolooked, lowers the sound, „heard, that sideYun Stateby the evil spiritdisaster, you were saidon this day the air/Qi, wherehas first nexttendays of hail, thencomesseveralmonths of great drought?”
“是啊....听说...”小二左右看了看,压低声音,“听说,云州那边是遭了妖魔祸乱,您说这天气,哪有先下十天冰雹,再来几个月大旱的?”„Tendays of hail? Severalmonths of great drought?” The Lu Shengdoubtssaid.
“十天冰雹?几个月大旱?”路胜疑惑道。„It is said that thathail, having the eggis so big, lateris89months of great drought, under drop of raindoes not have....Was too miserable. Heard that had the inhumanmatterto happen.”Smalltwo are also wordsdiscusses, cannot bearopens the mouthto knowoneselfa series ofallsaid.
“据说,那冰雹啊,有鸡蛋那么大,之后就是八九个月的大旱,一滴雨也没下....啧啧,太惨了。听说都有人吃人的事发生了。”小二也是个话唠,忍不住一开口就把自己知道的一系列全说了。„The hail of eggsize, 89months of great drought....”Lu Shengwas also startled, mustknow that inhiscognition, for successive three monthsdid not rain, evendrought, 89months of great drought, no wonderentireYun Statecollapsed. The cropsestimated that diedcertainly, notnecessarilyhadto drink the water.
“鸡蛋大小的冰雹,八九个月的大旱....”路胜也是惊了下,要知道在他认知里,连续三个月不下雨,就算是旱灾了,八九个月的大旱,难怪整个云州都崩溃了。庄稼估计都死绝了,连水都不一定有喝的。„Listens to the personto pass on, whenmustrain, even the dark cloudshad, buthas the strangematterto happen immediately, probablypresentscloudQi the vortex, presents the thunderclapand so on dark clouds that the situation, thenjustappeareddid not have the shadowimmediately.”Smalltwosmallsound said.
“听人传,每当要下雨时,连黑云都有了,但是马上就有奇怪的事情发生,像是出现云气漩涡,出现雷声啊之类的情况,然后刚刚浮现的黑云马上就没影了。”小二又小声道。Inquired the news, Lu Shenggoes home, inheartalsosomeexclamation.
打听到消息,路胜回到家,心中还有些惊叹。Thistypedoes not gather the common sense the weather, first nexttendays of hail, lateron the directdrought, fullydoes not conform to the natural law.
这种不合常理的天气,先下十天冰雹,之后就直接旱灾,完全不符合自然规律。Hearrives atthisworld is so long, alreadyprobablyclear, herewas not roughly bigwith the ancient Chinadifference, exceptsomelocal conditions and social customsdifferencesdifferentoutside, the natural lawwas not different.
他来到这个世界这么久,已经大概明白,这里约莫和中国古代差别不大,除开风土人情有些差异不同外,自然规律也没什么两样。Were only manydemons and monstersand so onsupernatural.
唯独多了妖魔鬼怪之类的超自然现象。„Thistypefullydoes not conform to the natural law the weather, certainlyhas the external forceto urge.”In the Lu Shengheartguessed,hisintuitiontoldhim, thisdroughtmost likelyanddemons and monstershad the connection.
“这种完全不符合自然规律的天气,一定是有外力促使。”路胜心中猜测,他的直觉告诉他,这旱灾十有八九和妖魔鬼怪有关联。Goes home, Xiao Qiao/daintyis sewing anything, saw that on the roadpasses through the gate, hurriesto set out.
回到家,小巧正在缝补什么东西,看到路上进门,赶紧起身。„Did young masteryoucome back? Mustbathe, Xiao Qiao/daintygoes to the hot water.”
“公子您回来了?要沐浴么,小巧去热水。”„Does not use. Infamily/homealso how muchsilver money?”Lu Shengspoke thoughtlesslyto ask the sentence.
“不用。家里还有多少银钱?”路胜随口问了句。„About32.”Xiao Qiao/daintyreplied a helplessnumberquickly.
“大约二十一两。”小巧很快回答出一个无奈的数字。Lu Shengwas speechless, heevenwantsto look forSong ZhenguoandChen Jiaorongborrows, orsells outwhite jade qilin that Chen Jiaorongdelivers, thatis the thing of valuelarge sum of money, is extremely expensive. Thatamethysthairpin, Yin Qi, althoughwas absorbednot to have, but the itselfmaterial qualityis the amethyst, the price is also extremelyexpensive/noble.路胜无语了,他甚至想要找宋振国和陈焦荣借,或者把陈焦荣送的白玉麒麟卖掉,那可是价值万金的东西,极其昂贵。还有那把紫玉发簪,阴气虽然被吸收没了,但本身材质是紫玉,价格也是极贵。„Theseare onlyexpedient measure, isaccording tomybeforehandmethod, perhaps can also cause a piece of myLu FamilyfoundationinsuchBorder Mountain City.” The Lu Shengheartis calculating, startsmeal that eatsXiao Qiao/daintyto carry.
“这些都只是权宜之计,还是按照我之前的法子来,说不定还能在这样沿山城弄出一片我路家的根基。”路胜心头盘算着,开始吃小巧端上来的饭菜。
The mealbuysfrom the nearbyrestaurant, the flavoris good, Xiao Qiao/daintystandsin the one sidegivesLu Shengto pour out wine, oftenspokeseveralwordswithhim.
饭菜都是从边上的酒楼买的,味道不错,小巧站在一旁给路胜斟酒,不时的和他说几句话。„How long is announcing a list of successful candidatestime?”Lu Shengasked the sentenceat will.
“放榜时间是多久?”路胜随意问了句。„Roughlyonemonthlater, when the time comes the schoolwill have the notice, Qiao'erwill pay attentionto look.”Xiao Qiao/daintyhurriesto reply.
“约莫一个月后,到时候学院会有通知,巧儿会注意去看的。”小巧赶紧回答。„Do not forgetwell, these daysI could go to the busypointmatter, your one personathome, are more careful, the refugeeenters the city, unavoidablyhas the intentionillegalperson.”
“别忘了就好,这段时间我可能要去忙点事情,你一个人在家,小心些,难民入城,难免有心怀不轨之人。”„Qiao'erknew.”Xiao Qiao/daintycleverreply.
“巧儿知道了。”小巧乖巧回答。Has eaten meal, Lu Shenggoes out, Scarlet Whale Gangseveralselectedhimto find outin the morning.
吃过饭,路胜又出了门,赤鲸帮的几个点他都在早上摸清楚了。At noonpasses, isto look that joinedwithwhatmethod.
中午时分过去,就是要看用什么法子加入进去了。Lu Shengis leisure, rides a carriage, sluggishbefore a casinogate.路胜一路慢慢悠悠,坐上一辆马车,慢吞吞的到了一家赌场门前。Golden Seal Casino.金印赌场。
The name of thisgathering placeis very uncouth, but is also very appropriate. The entirecasinofront door, seems like the goldenseal, square, is very conspicuous.
这家场子的名字很俗气,但也很贴切。整个赌场大门,看起来就像个金色印章,四四方方,很是惹眼。Lu Shenggets out, takes out the gold threadfolding fan of putting on an act, oneopens, pushesin the crowd of passing in and outslowlyenters the casino.路胜下了车,取出一把装样子的金丝折扇,唰的一下打开,缓缓挤在进出的人群中走进赌场。Approach, the insideat sixes and sevensloud noise, the gamblingsound the front surfacewells upimmediately. Every large or smallgamblingtableis placedin the hall, neareachgamblingtableencircledcompletelygroups of gamblers, is getting angryis shouting outloudly, as if the soundenoughcanwin moneygreatlygeneral.
一进场子,里面乱七八糟的喧闹声,赌钱声顿时迎面涌来。大大小小的赌桌摆在大厅里,每一个赌桌边都围满了一群群的赌徒,一个个红着眼大声呼喝着,似乎声音够大就能赢钱一般。Lu Shengingamblingto have no interest, butisonehas swept, firstsawGolden Seal Casinostandsin a innermostred painted-facemiddle-aged man.路胜对赌钱没兴趣,而是一眼扫过,第一时间看到了金印赌场站在最里面的一个红脸中年男人。Thismancalmlystandsnear a casinogamblingtable, looks in the field the extremely busyscene, unemotional, puts onis not different from the peripheralcasinoguard.
这男人静静站在赌场最里面的一张赌桌边,看着场中热闹非凡的场景,面无表情,穿得就和周边的赌场护卫没什么两样。ButLu Shengknows,this is actually Golden Seal Casinogroup leaderRed Face Zhao Jie. Alsoisthisgathering placeusualattendant. Ifwantsto joinScarlet Whale Gang, looks forhimeasily.
但路胜知道,这位其实就是金印赌场的小头目红脸赵杰。也是这个场子平时的看管者。如果想要加入赤鲸帮,找他最容易。HeslowlystraightwalkstowardRed Face Zhao Jie.
他慢慢笔直的朝着红脸赵杰走去。
The opposite partythennoticehisbeing closequickly, the looksurpriselooks.
对方很快便注意到他的接近,眼神诧异的看过来。„Youdo not gomerrily, whatcoming to thiscornerto make?”Zhao Jiespoke thoughtlesslyto ask. Althoughhealsodepends on a gamblingtable, butherehas not opened the gambling, buttreats as the ordinarytableto use.
“兄台不去快活,来这角落里做什么?”赵杰随口问道。他虽然也靠着一张赌桌,但这里并没有开赌,只是当做普通桌子在用。„Studentis the Eastern Mountain Institutestudent, wantsto joinScarlet Whale Gang, does not know whether to recommendone or two?”Lu Shengbrings to light the goaldirectly, the smilesaid.
“学生是东山学院的学员,想要加入赤鲸帮,不知能否引荐一二?”路胜直接挑明目的,微笑道。„Eastern Mountain Institutestudent?”Zhao Jiestares.
“东山学院学生?”赵杰一愣。Heso manyyearsinhelp/gang, saw that for the first time has the schoolstudentsto joinScarlet Whale Gangon own initiative.
他在帮里这么多年,还是第一次见到有学院学生主动加入赤鲸帮。Scarlet Whale Gang that althoughhe
虽然他所在的赤鲸帮是第一大帮,但学院学生一向自命清高,除开上层一些大佬的关系加入的,或者是利用一些特殊事件关系逼迫加入的,平时里还真没见过有主动想加入帮中的书生。After all the ambitions of thesestudentsare not a factioncanfetter, person who othersmustbe an official.
毕竟这些书生的志向可不是一个帮派能束缚,人家是要当官的人。
After staringone, Zhao Jiesizes upLu Sheng.
愣了一愣后,赵杰上上下下打量起来路胜。„Your excellencysaid that oneselfis the schoolstudent, canhave the proof?”
“阁下说自己是学院学生,可有证明?”Lu Shengputs out the data plate of academywith a smile, abovehas the namesymbol of ownsurnameandschool.路胜笑着拿出自己书院的铭牌,上边有着自己的姓和学院的名字标志。
A giganticeasterncharacter, belowis a verysmallroadcharacter. The data plateis the brassmakes, someweight/quantity, the finepatterncovers, is very difficultto counterfeit.
一个硕大的东字,下面是很小的一个路字。铭牌是黄铜制成,有些分量,还有精致的花纹覆盖,很难作假。Saw that data plateZhao Jiethen believed that thisdata plateaverage man may be unable to make, even ifwantedforge is still very difficult. In the cityallartisansdo not meet the personal work, butif the artisans in some people each familycounterfeitthisthing, thatis the bigcrime, sentencesto decapitatehas the possibility.
看到铭牌赵杰便信了,这铭牌常人可弄不来,就算想要伪造也很难。城里所有的工匠都不接私活的,而一些人家家里的工匠若是私造这东西,那可是大罪,判杀头都有可能。„Why do youwantto joinus?”Zhao Jiealsoasked. Usually , to joinin the help/gang, mostlyis the bitter of lower class, oris a merchant, eitherhas the crafstmanartisan of technology, likethistype, looksat presenthas the schoolstudentyoung master of family property, but alsoreallydoes not needto join the faction.
“你为什么想加入我们?”赵杰又问。平日里要想加入帮中的,大多是社会底层的苦哈哈,或者是商人,或者是有技术的手艺人工匠,像眼前这种,一看就有家底的学院书生公子,还真没必要加入帮派。„HearingScarlet Whale GangisNorthern Landfirstgreat gang, in the help/gangnumerous strong competitors, cultivation techniqueis powerful. this Young Master, wantsto practicebestcultivation technique, thereforewantsto join.”Lu Shengsaidowngoalvery muchdirectly, hewas also disinclinedto doanythingcurvedto circle, straightforward.
“听说赤鲸帮是北地第一大帮,帮中高手如云,功法强悍.本公子,想要习练最好的功法,所以希望加入。”路胜很直接将自己的目的说出来,他也懒得搞什么弯弯绕绕,直白一点。„martial arts....”ThenZhao Jiefelt relaxed. The Scarlet Whale Gangmartial artsisNorthern Landis truly strongest, otheranythingcanwhatgate, the having no wayratio.
“武功啊....”这下赵杰释然了。赤鲸帮的武功确实是北地最强,其余什么会什么门,都没法比。„Good, pleaseregister the name, the age, excels.”Hereferred to one siderightleaf of doortoLu Shengdirectly.
“好吧,请去登记一下名字,年龄,擅长。”他直接给路胜指了指一侧右边的一扇小门。„Beforehandremindedone, Ihelped the disciplewantto practice martial art, learnedfromXuanwu Pavilion, butenteredXuanwu Pavilion, needsto evaluateyour excellencystrengthlevel, withfor the contributiondegree in the help/gangmaking.”
“事先提醒一句,我帮中弟子想要习武,都是从宣武阁中习得,而进宣武阁,需要评定阁下的实力层次,和为帮中做出的贡献程度。”
