Chapter 25 The Sparrow Gang
In Tulun Port, the Ghost Face Storekeeper is the person who is the strongest pharmacy that Qiao knows.
If it weren't for the scary face, he would definitely be qualified to be a master of Tulun Port.
In terms of potions and some strange skills, Qiao absolutely believes in the judgment of the Ghost Face Storekeeper.
He said that the Ecstasy potion was definitely the Ecstasy potion.
He said that the extraordinary secret technique was definitely the extraordinary secret technique.
"What did they take away these girls?" Qiao leaned against the counter, a little uneasy, and knocked a dirty glass jar in front of her with his fingers.
Among the light yellow wine, a venomous snake, which was more than two feet long and was as thick as a little finger, suddenly twitched. It could be seen that it opened its mouth and a wisp of yellow venom spewed out from its sharp teeth, and the color of the wine became darker.
Qiao was so scared that she shivered all over and hurriedly pulled her hand back, and subconsciously stayed away from the counter.
"Living?" Qiao almost yelled.
"It's really rare. Of course, the medicinal wine I made secretly is all living things as medicine." The grimace shopkeeper took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on his face: "Well, this can of Sansnake wine will be completely dead in half a year."
Qiao's face twitched and didn't say anything for a long time.
So, your pharmacy business has been so dead, right?
"What are they doing to catch so many girls?" The grimace shopkeeper pulled out a stool from under the counter, sat on the stool, held his elbows on the counter with his hands and elbows, held his chin with his palms, frowned and thoughtful.
"There is no doubt that the two days after the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the entire Tulun Port was in chaos. As long as people with some means want to take the opportunity to do something illegal and disorderly, it is the easiest opportunity to take advantage of the situation."
The grimace shopkeeper took out a large blue and white porcelain bowl from the drawer at the counter. A strong smell came to his nose. In the bowl, dozens of golden-headed and green-body centipedes as thick as small fingers were soaked in marinade.
"I didn't expect you to come today, so I did less." The grimace shopkeeper pushed the big porcelain bowl forward.
Qiao Gan coughed, pulled a stool from the side, and sat opposite the grimace shopkeeper.
"I'm afraid of living, but this kind of cooking is good, you know, I always like it. The supreme delicacy is really." Qiao Gan smiled, trying to resolve the embarrassment that he was scared by the ingredients for the wine just now.
The two of them didn't use tableware and started to take action, grabbed the big centipede soaked in the bowl, skillfully stripped off the shell, revealing the white tender flesh inside, and swallowed happily.
A centipede entered his stomach, and a stream of hot air slowly spread out. Qiao felt warm all over and a layer of sweat oozing from his forehead.
"Ah?" Laplaci's sharp and thin voice rang in Qiao's mind: "You have taken the secret technique of medicine Gu more than once? No wonder, your body was severely damaged in nature and was over-added after all."
"Looking at your fat and blushing, you've been over-added."
Joe ignored Laplaci, and now he has no time to pay attention to Laplaci.
The "night snack" prepared by the Ghost Face Storekeeper is extremely terrifying, but it is extremely delicious and has a strong nourishing effect on the body.
Six years ago, when he met the Ghost Face Storekeeper, Qiao was deceived to eat the first bite of the secret "small snack", and then he couldn't stop and became a loyal fan of the Ghost Face Storekeeper's "dark cuisine".
"Uncle, you continue to say that I'm here to find you for help." Qiao quickly lifted up a big centipede, stuck out his tongue, and licked the extremely delicious juice on the shell.
"Kill these girls." The grimacing shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and said, "It's not an ordinary trafficking person. The cost is too high and the cost is too high. The secret medicines and secret techniques that can make me accidentally get rid of, are used to kidnap a few girls from ordinary families?"
"Jack, Jerry and Bourne, the family is rich." Joe added: "What if it's a kidnapping?"
"Then, why bother to deal with a few little girls with kidnapped Jack directly?" The grimacing shopkeeper swallowed three big centipedes in a row: "So, it's not ordinary trafficking, it's not ordinary kidnapping. So, what's the use of these little girls?"
A flash of inspiration in Qiao's mind, and he quickly spoke of the two strange black shadows he encountered on the night of Zhongqiu.
White mist, the erratic sound of flutes, those cruel and evil rats and moths.
"You killed one of the evil spirits of the Corrosion Spirit?" The grimacing shopkeeper widened his eyes, his face twitched violently, and looked at Qiao in extreme surprise: "No, you didn't kill him completely. He destroyed his extraordinary weapon and escaped with the power of the Corrosion Spirit."
"You destroyed his body, but failed to destroy his soul."
A chill that made Qiao feel uncomfortable in the eyes of the grimace shopkeeper. He took out a copper bell the size of a fist from the drawer at the counter and shook it hard.
With the sound of "dingding", a sound came from the second floor of the medicine shop. After a while, the sound of stairs sounded. Two boys who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old and looked crooked, rubbing their eyes and staggering out of a small door in the corner of the medicine cabinet.
"Teacher." The two teenagers respectfully saluted the grimace shopkeeper.
"Go and ask those little guys, have you found any annoying people these two days?" The grimace shopkeeper pushed the big bowl in front of Qiao, with half a bowl of big centipedes left inside.
He looked at the two teenagers and said in a deep voice: "Some people who look cold, and the Highlanders, who don't look like good people, and all the suspicious people. Or, who hears some related words, ten goldmarks, who can provide useful information, ten goldmarks."
The two teenagers suddenly became energetic. They saluted the grimace shopkeeper and then quickly rushed to the backyard.
"Be careful on the road these days." The grimacing shopkeeper muttered in a low voice: "Don't be black-skinned... Well, don't be caught."
A "black skin dog" almost said that the grimacing shopkeeper looked at Joe in a black police uniform, and then forced the slanderous words back.
Qiao laughed dryly and waved his hand proudly: "If you are accidentally caught, just say that you are going out for business under the order of the special investigation team of Zhongqiu's bloody case. If they don't believe it, let them come to me."
The two teenagers grinned, and one chuckled in a low voice: "Master Qiao, if you are caught, we will have no shame to come to see you and the teacher."
Amid laughter, the two teenagers rushed into the backyard, and then there was a slight sound of the sewer manhole cover being opened.
Joe shrugged and grimaced.
This is the main reason why he ran to find the Ghost Face Storekeeper in the middle of the night. On the way, he accidentally completed a deal with Laplacie and got a good prescription. He asked the Ghost Face Storekeeper to help him identify it. It was just a good thing.
Qiao knew that the Grim Face Storekeeper had always been, and long before he met Qiao, he had been secretly adopting orphans.
The younger ones are three or four years old, the older ones are seven or eight years old, and even eleven or eleven or eleven or eleven or eleven or eleven or eleven.
These little guys who unfortunately became orphans for various reasons were already destined to sink into the mud and become "prey" that could be ruined by others.
The Grim Face Storekeeper pulled them when they were on the verge of despair.
They can provide them with food and clothing, and even ask people to teach them how to read, read and count and calculate. When they are older and have a little ability to protect themselves, the grimace shopkeeper will let them support themselves.
I went to a restaurant to wash dishes, cleaned cars and horses, helped people repair roofs, painted exterior walls, repaired grasslands, and gardening. Some girls even helped people help me.
Because of age and their own skills, these little guys are not doing very outstanding jobs. But at least they can support themselves, and as long as they work hard, they will have the opportunity to climb up.
The grimace shopkeeper saved these little guys from the tragic fate of becoming fireflies, pickpockets, and gang thugs.
These little guys regard the Grim Face Storekeeper as their biological father and respect him extremely.
These little guys call themselves the "Sparrow Gang".
They are scattered in every corner and in every business of Tulun Port. They make friends and communicate with each other, and they form a large network that almost covers the entire Tulun Port.
Apart from the Ghostly Shopkeeper and his children, except Qiao, no one knows that even the deepest tentacles and most powerful local snakes are hidden in the secret of Tulun Port.
"What did you think of just now?" Qiao looked at the grimacing shopkeeper curiously.
The grimace shopkeeper stood up, and he took out a small iron pot, added a few pieces of charcoal to the small charcoal stove, placed the small iron pot on the small charcoal stove, and then added half a pot of oil to the iron pot.
Open the drawer at the bottom of the medicine cabinet, and the grimace shopkeeper took out a large patterned hunting spider the size of a net pocket.
Not long after, accompanied by a subtle sound of oil explosion, a very rich and extremely evil attraction made Qiao's mouth full of saliva fill the entire medicine shop.
When the first big fried hunting spider was out of the pot, the grimace shopkeeper muttered: "The worst thing I can think of is that these girls are presented as sacrifices to the corrosive spirits."
"I hope they haven't collected enough sacrifices, and I hope they don't have time to hold a ritual." The grimace shopkeeper murmured: "I'm good at potions, and I've only heard of some fur for these taboo techniques."
"Anyway, it's not good." The grimace shopkeeper shook his head and said, "It's not good. It's not good."
"If something happens to Little Mary and the others, Joe, think about how to replenish the tail." The grimace shopkeeper said in a deep voice: "The secret medicine has timeliness and can last about seven to ten days, and the power of the secret technique will also be weakened."
"Jack and the others will sooner or later remember that their daughter is missing."
"And those people have to fight for only a few days. I'm worried that by the time Jack and the others remembered that their daughter disappeared, these guys had done everything."
"When it's dawn, I'll ask someone to go and find out if the same thing happened in Yaolu Street and the surrounding neighborhoods." Qiao stuffed the last centipede in the big bowl into his mouth, and then took a small plate of big hunting spider that was squeaking and loud.
Enjoying terrible food, the night passed quickly.
Qiao's breakfast was a large bowl of scallion oil noodles cooked by the Grimma shopkeeper.
