Chapter 7 Eavesdropping

When he saw the cloister of the outer courtyard again, the steward in charge of leading the way also waved his hand, signaling that he could leave on his own.

Shao Manchu, who was done, did not delay, and he was not like an uninformed farmer in the village, and he still took a few more glances in this big courtyard.

He only wrapped the receipt of the work in the muslin cloth, stuffed it into his bosom, bowed his head and walked towards the corner door.

When I passed the porter, my footsteps slowed down a little, and when I looked up again, I saw that it was about to be dark, and my footsteps only paused, and I didn't stop.

Who would have thought that Shao Manchu's hand had just lifted the door frame, and the closed doorway opened from the inside.

The second son of the Liu family, Liu Erzi walked out of it, still carrying a rattan basket in his hand.

The basket is not large, and there are layers of steaming sweet potatoes in it, and the crispy outside the skin is afraid that it has just been pulled out of the ashes.

He only stuffed the basket into Shao Manchu's arms, pointed behind him, and said, "This is what my father asked me to give." ”

"I'm afraid that your injuries will not heal, and at this point, you won't be able to cook when you get home. ”

"This is the red sweet potato I just ate at night, you can take it back and fill your stomach." ”

Shao Manchu, who was stuffed all of a sudden, trembled his lips twice, he hugged the basket tighter by two points, just bowed violently to Second Brother Liu, and said thank you.

Probably afraid of crying in front of people, he turned his head and ran.

Seeing Liu Erha's joy, he smiled at the crooked figure that ran: "It's also a young man, and I still know how to be shy!"

When the young man's back completely blended into the night, the second son of Liu closed the corner gate of the compound.

The matter of the first family is over.

Stepping on the way back to the village, Shao Manchu hurriedly took out a fist-sized sweet potato from the basket, and was reluctant to peel off the skin, so he bit it with his teeth.

'Huh......'

The skin of the sweet potato is torn open, and the white heat comes out with it...... It is orange-red, sweet, soft sweet potato flesh.

The abundant sunlight on the North China Plain and the not too rainy loess have raised this high-sugar sweet potato that can be boiled into sugar.

The sticky syrup in the sweet potato pulp made Shao Manchu, who was already bitter to the bottom of the pit, squint his eyes.

The hot food was swallowed and filled into the stomach, so that the empty stomach was also steady.

waited until Shao Manchu ate the third piece and was filled, and the ...... was reflected Feelings other than hunger.

'Hiss......'

It hurts!

The places where I had been beaten were all twitching like pins and needles.

Touching the most painful braincase again, Shao Manchu's face was filled with a bit of hatred.

No matter how powerful Zhang Dengguan is, what is it!

You can't just leave it at that.

The reason why he Zhang Dengguan dared to come to the door directly was just to see that he Shao Manhoard was lonely and helpless, and he was young and could be bullied.

Although he has already found a way to find the blessing of the first family, if an old man like Zhang Dengguan doesn't want to come up with a way once and for all, I'm afraid that he will hide in the dark like a poisonous snake, and I'll give you a bite when you're not prepared.

So what can be done to clean him up?

Shao Manchu lowered his head and thought about being fascinated, but when he was about to reach the entrance of the village, he heard the voice that disgusted him.

It's that person's very unique voice of scolding!

Shao Man hoarded a ...... Raised his head.

This is?

When did you get here?

Aren't these the two rotten houses of Zhang Dengguan's family?

In the village of Qiu Village, Zhang Dengguan's house can be ranked third among the worst houses in the village.

Because of this crooked and unseemly self-built house, it has not been mentioned in his father's mouth.

At the beginning, Shao Manchu's father was the leading carpenter in the village, and when each family started a house, he would come to his house to inform him.

And this lamp official's house has been discussed by everyone in the village for a long time.

Because, the house was built by Zhang Dengguan by himself.

But what he built was really not good.

Let Shao Manho's father sigh every time he passes by here.

Shao Manho's father was afraid that this bold Zhang Dengguan would sleep too well at night and break his leg from the suddenly collapsed beam.

You just think how bad this house must be.

Now that they have come here, Shao Manchu's legs can't be pulled.

I've heard the people inside scolding, so I need to listen to it.

He looked left and right, and saw that there was no figure around, so he mustered up his courage and leaned towards the low wall outside the courtyard.

Thanks to the fact that when this lamp official built the house, he didn't pay much attention to it, and the wall was low.

Shao Manchu was full of food and drink, and with a little strength, he only used his hands to pick up and support, and quietly climbed over the wall, hid next to the firewood pile in the backyard of Zhang Dengguan, poked his head out, and put his ear to it.

Although Zhang Dengguan's house was broken, it was also burned.

The house is small, and the benefits of lighting the stove are reflected.

As soon as the kang is burned, the temperature in the house will not be low, and the weather in the north is a little dry, in order to breathe, the window panels of Zhang Dengguan's house are supported by a small pole to support a small gap.

There was some dim light spilling from the cracks, and Zhang Dengguan and Wang Shuzi, who had successfully escaped in the room, resumed their friendship again, sat cross-legged, sat on the kang, and discussed how to get this one back.

"Oops, this little cub!Oops, my face!!"

The loudest call is naturally Zhang Dengguan.

Not only did he stage a difficult cross-fork, but he was also ripped off a piece of flesh by the kid he thought was a bully.

Now, his cheeks were covered with herbs by the barefoot doctor in the village, and the bleeding was temporarily stopped.

Compared with Zhang Dengguan, Wang Shuzi's situation is much better.

When Wang Shuzi found that the situation was not good, he ran very decisively, except for a few abrasions on his body, there was no side problem.

Therefore, the words of this Wang bolt followed the scolding, and it was also a little lighter.

"Big brother, let's forget it. ”

"That kid has been taken in by the Chu family, and the first master must know what the two of us are doing. ”

"I heard that the two members of the Shao family have borrowed money from the Chu family three or four times from the time they got sick to the time they entered the soil. ”

"What else can he do in his house?"

"This rule of settling accounts with the owner before the end of the year has existed since ancient times. ”

"Shao Man's land...... Maybe it's already in the pockets of the first master. ”

"Don't look at the people in these ten miles and eight villages, they all say that the master of the first family is a great and good man, but let me say, how can this official and squire not be greedy for money. ”

"I am afraid that his huge family business was saved by the greedy people in the east and the west. ”

"Big brother, let's go to the trouble of that kid from the Shao family again, and it won't be any good. ”
