I opened my eyes and stared at her.

Seeing that I wasn't asleep at all, Yan Xiaoyue immediately turned into a sly smile, and handed me the pillow: "You sleep against the head of the bed like this, it's not good for your cervical spine, add another pillow."

I said: "There is something to talk about!"

Yan Xiaoyue scratched her head when she heard the words: "Then what... can you do me a favor?"

I asked, "What's busy?"

Yan Xiaoyue said: "I'm about to be killed by someone, we are also brothers in life and death, you are a knight-errant, you can't just ignore death, can't you?"

I looked at her face.

Yan Xiaoyue's expression was very nervous, mixed with a trace of panic, it didn't seem like she was telling a lie.

What happened to scare this irritable woman?

I asked: "You are the beloved daughter of Hades of East China Miscellaneous, the owner of Tongyue Antiques, the moon queen of the night show, and a bunch of friends from the Jianghu. Does anyone dare to touch you in the magic capital?"

Yan Xiaoyue frowned when she heard this, "It's Laoliang Gang who want to touch me!"

I wondered: "Who?!"

Yan Xiaoyue said: "Old Liang Gang! I lost an important item of Lao Liang Gang, and they will hold a lottery soon. If I can't get it out, it will be completely finished!"

After Yan Xiaoyue's intermittent explanations, I finally understood what was going on.

To my amazement.

Yan Xiaoyue unexpectedly except the previous identities.

There is another famous head - a dignified head of the Lao Liang Gang.

I said it before.

Although the Laoliang Gang developed from the Beggar Gang, it is not a Beggar Gang in the traditional sense.

They were probably established in the late Ming Dynasty, developed in the Qing Dynasty, and grew stronger than the Republic of China.

Back then, people's livelihood was poor, and it was not easy to make a living.

Some street beggars, vagabonds and other people who have nothing to eat organized, united and helped each other, and formed the Laoliang Gang.

The one who is always the head is called the head of the scoop.

One area is called Caikou, and the person in charge of Caikou is called Caitou.

There are also several halls under each color mouth, and the person in charge of the hall is called the hall head.

Later, relying on the mutual support of the brothers of the Laoliang Gang, some of these people began to become rich and powerful, but they would not forget their identity as the Laoliang Gang, and they would also absorb some donors into the Laoliang Gang. help.

Slowly developed so far.

Although most of the members of the Laoliang Gang are still eating their own rice, they have gradually evolved into a loose chamber of commerce organization with the nature of the old world.

At first, Yan Xiaoyue just thought it was fun to make friends with the Laoliang Gang.

But this sixth child is quite generous and forthright, quite popular in the circle of the Lao Liang Gang, and her status is very good, so she was recommended to be the leader.

The Laoliang Gang set up "One Color Three Halls" in Shanghai.

Caitou manager, under the jurisdiction of three halls.

The leader of one of the classes is Yan Xiaoyue.

This location is not too big.

But each hall has a wind pestle, which can mobilize the brothers and resources of the Laoliang Gang in the hall.

This is why every time Yan Xiaoyue dealt with me before, she would mobilize Lao Liang to help others.

Because that wind pestle was originally Yan Xiaoyue's!

The cause of the matter is.

The Laoliang Gang has an old Jianghu rule.

Every year after the autumnal equinox.

The lottery club of the Laoliang gang in Shanghai will hold a "lottery meeting" to contact the three clans and recruit new members along the way.

This is actually a routine meeting.

It was nothing more than worshiping the statue of the patriarch Fan Dan under the leadership of Caitou. Everyone ate, drank, bragged, and let the brothers who got rich lead the brothers who were still eating nothing to get rich.

Let me briefly talk about Fan Daan here.

Fan Daan is a strange man, a spokesman for the poor.

It is said that once Confucius took his disciples on a study tour in Chencai, there was a sudden heavy rain, and they had no dry food on them, and they almost died of starvation and freezing. Fan Dan, the beggar, helped Confucius and others.Confucius expressed his gratitude to Fan Dan, and said that in the future, all scholars will owe rice to beggars.

Confucius may have just said that, but Fan Dan's disciples can remember it.

Later, when beggars saw that they were from a scholarly family, they would run over to sing the lotus flower.

The lyrics are quite interesting.

"Sir, please listen carefully. The beggar shops opened by all the countries in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Confucius had no food for Chen Cai, so please come to our ancestor Fan Dan to help with food. Now I ask for no food, but I beg you not to forget the old debt. Pay it back. You pay back the rice for the clothes, and you can sleep soundly if you pay more or less!"

It was originally a beggar.

turned into debt collection.

The properties are completely different.

If a scholar knows the allusions, he will invite the beggar into his house and treat him as a guest of honor.

This can be seen.

Mixing in the rivers and lakes, always fighting and killing, it is better to learn more culture and eat well.

Talk back.

The lottery gathering held in Caikou, the magic city, is usually held after the autumnal equinox every year.

There is a ceremony in the color-gathering meeting, which is called worshiping the thousand-sewed bowl of color.

This Doucai Thousand Seam Bowl has some origins.

When the Laoliang Gang was established in the late Ming Dynasty, the chief executive at the time took a total of three bowls with thousands of seams, which meant eating thousands of meals for a living, sewing thousands of cloths to warm up, and distributing the bowls to the three colorful bowls of the Laoliang Gang. mouth.

One of the bowls with thousands of seams was given to the magic capital of that year.

It's not too expensive either.

But the old Liangbang Caikou in Shanghai has been handed down to this day, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sacred object.

There is a total of three halls set up by the Laoliang Gang in Shanghai, and this bowl of Caitou is not kept. The halls at the entrances of the three halls below take turns to keep it.

It means that everyone takes turns begging for the lottery.

The specific way is.

At the annual lottery meeting, after everyone worships the thousand-seam bowl of Doucai, the Caitou will hand over the bowl to the next Tangtou.

Last year at the lottery meeting, Yan Xiaoyue took this bowl from Caitou.

According to the rules, she will take out this bowl this year, and after everyone finishes worshiping, Caitou will hand over the bowl to other hall heads.

But just such a holy bowl.

Yan Xiaoyue was lost.

Now Yan Xiaoyue can't get it out at all.

Isn't the Laoliang Gang just trying to kill her!

I frowned and asked, "When did you lose it?"

Yan Xiaoyue said: "I don't know the exact time! I kept it in Tongyue Antiques for safekeeping before, but because there was a lottery meeting tonight, I took it out yesterday and carried it with me, but yesterday I went to the Canglang Bar to dance that night, but I lost it!"

I:"……"

Yan Xiaoyue cried and said: "After I found out that I lost my things this morning, I originally wanted to let my dad make a fake one, but when I came to join the Laoliang Gang, my dad didn't know at all. He wants to know. My legs must be broken. Secondly, there will be a lottery party tonight, and he is too late to do it even if he is a god!"

I asked: "Then what's the use of you looking for me? Where can I conjure you a Ming Doucai Thousand Seam Bowl?"

Hearing this, Yan Xiaoyue swallowed, and carefully flattered her: "You are the god in my heart, I think you will be able to save me, so I came to you early in the morning."

I'm really convinced.

I was speechless: "You say you can sing well, maybe you can become popular and become Li Jiaxin in the mainland! It's good for you, to swim in the muddy water of antiques, to swim in the muddy water of Laoliang Gang, sooner or later you will be drowned!"

Seeing that I was annoyed, Yan Xiaoyue gently took my hand and started to act like a baby: "Stop talking, it's really over if you don't help me... Besides, I joined the Laoliang Gang not only for Play, I have my own reasons."
