Chapter 70: Retribution
The shopkeeper was startled and hurriedly put the board in the miscellaneous items on the side. 【Fengyun Reading Network. The board was covered by a pile of debris, as if covering the shopkeeper's heart.
He patted his chest, got up from the ground, and took a few steps back to the first floor.
He was indeed at a loss, and that sign told all his bad things.
This place was not his, and he got it without spending any money.
This place itself is a place called Drunkard Restaurant, and the shopkeeper at that time was not a shopkeeper. He brought his fellow townsman, Xiao Er, to this vicinity. As a result, there was a disaster in this restaurant, and the restaurant was smashed by a group of unknown people, and the former shopkeeper also died in this farce.
This matter was known to the current shopkeeper, and after the appearance of the people from the government was over, it became a public thing. The shopkeeper secretly bribed a few officers and soldiers guarding in the middle of the night, and entered the restaurant and turned out the deed. Later, he dredged up a bunch of relationships, and he brought this drunkard over without spending a penny. After the plate came over, the shopkeeper changed this into a teahouse. I usually manage it with my heart, but after a long time, no one cares about it.
In fact, the shopkeeper knew best in his heart how he got this land and how many people died for himself.
He killed the officers and soldiers in the house who found him casting the deed, and killed the disobedient ruffian. And before and after, the shopkeeper only used a few silver taels to complete all this thing. These silver taels also came from the contents of this house, and the shopkeeper did not take out a penny. Because of this, the place looks in tatters, and the good things have been taken away. But the rest of the house is the treasurer's best wealth.
The retribution of Xiao Er just now stimulated the nerves that the shopkeeper had been tense. He lost his heart in this house, and he also lost his heart to the people in that house.
The people in this room were not the last treasurer, but the officers and soldiers he had killed. After entrusting it, he also took a vicious revenge, so that the shopkeeper must live well, otherwise he would be allowed to survive and not die.
In recent days, the man in the house suddenly stopped eating or drinking, and knocked on the door without replying. The shopkeeper was afraid of the retribution, and even more afraid that the ghosts of the officers and soldiers would not be scattered in this room, so he did not dare to open the door. This time, Geng Yong came over and opened the door, which was also to help him untie the knot in his heart.
It's all so coincidental, so coincidental that it looks like someone deliberately arranged it. The door opened, and the occupants of the room were as thin as a corpse. After a while, it turned into a real corpse again.
No one knew who killed this person, the shopkeeper went out to help Geng Yong clean up his house, and Xiao Er went downstairs to get busy. While waiting for the doctor to come, the man died in his room.
Perhaps, as Xiao Er said, the shopkeeper has really suffered retribution.
Coming to the first floor, the officers and soldiers have not yet come. It's intricate, and there's not much oil and water. The county magistrate saw that it was a drunkard restaurant in the past, and there were a lot of bad things in his heart, so he didn't send anyone for a long time.
In this way, it was late at night, and the teahouse was closed. The officers and soldiers did not come, Xiao Er yawned and locked the door, ready to sleep.
There was a room on the second floor with corpses, but there were guests in other rooms besides this room. It was a lot of noise in the afternoon, but they didn't know they were on the same floor as a corpse.
It's time to sleep, so Xiao Er sleeps downstairs. One came to rest, and the other looked at the house to prevent thieves from entering. The shopkeeper went back to the second floor and closed the door to the room. I checked it carefully a few times before I was relieved.
Back in his house, Joe was still asleep. The shopkeeper had no choice but to squeeze Qiao Shi to the side and lie down in the corner.
There is something in my heart, and there is a drunk person by my side. And this drunken man is a man. In this state, you can't sleep well. The shopkeeper tossed and turned in bed for a long time, got up and prepared to make some tea.
This one got up, and as a result, didn't get up.
Qiao Shi's legs landed on his lap and hugged him tightly from behind. He muttered a name vigorously, and his hand pinched the shopkeeper's chest a few times.
The shopkeeper was startled and shrunk into a ball. A person of nearly half a hundred, like a girl who has just matured.
Qiao Shi hugged him in the back, stroking back and forth with one hand. His head was gently close to his ear and he blew slowly.
"Mom!"
This breath completely broke the shopkeeper's nerves, and he jumped from the bed to the ground at once. Qiao Shi turned over, still asleep.
Standing on the ground, the shopkeeper was stunned for a while. I was relieved that Joe didn't make the next move.
He was still asleep, asleep.
Everything was too weird just now, and the shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead. I straightened up the clothes on my chest again and walked out of the house.
Qiao Shi in the room fell asleep, and tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes.
Perhaps, he dreamed of a person who was originally his own.
The shopkeeper walked out, and Xiao Er hadn't slept yet. He was holding a candle and squinting his eyes on a book. The shopkeeper couldn't bear to disturb him, and went to the counter himself to take out some high crushes. He poured some more water from the jug. There is always hot water here during the day, and the water is still hot as the stove goes out. Poured into the tea leaves, a good smell of tea soon came out.
Some people are willing to drink good tea. For example, the nobles of the Wang family generally love to drink good tea picked from the mountains, and slowly boil it with melted snow water, which is unusually fragrant. And these rough men love to drink this high crush, the broken dust of various tea leaves together, and it is also very fragrant after brewing with tea. The mouth of this tea is full of tea foam, but it has an indescribable beauty. I like to drink high crushed but this one is good, and I can't drink a sip if I don't like it.
The shopkeeper made the high crush, turned around and took out some good tea leaves and made a cup of tea. Holding two cups, he walked to Xiao Er's side.
"Drink tea." The shopkeeper said.
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Xiao Er took the cup and took a sip.
Neither of them was sleepy until the night was deep. When you get together for tea, you will naturally talk about some strange things.
For example, what happened before and after today is enough to be a topic for the two of them for nearly a year.
However, I don't talk about people during the day, and I don't talk about ghosts at night. The two of them obviously avoided the topic on the second floor, but they were very interested in Geng Yong, who came over. Geng Yong's temperament and years of training will make people feel a sense of awe.
The two chatted and chatted, but the topic still ran to the issue of the second floor.
After all, there is no escaping this matter at all.
Xiao Er was a little scared when he mentioned this, and repeated the sentence 'retribution' again.
After all, all this is really as designed.
