The road in the alley is not easy to walk, the road is very narrow, and the middle of the road is the manhole cover of those sewers, the kind of long strip, which may be old, and there is no good replacement and maintenance, from time to time there will be a lack of a piece and a piece of less, and you will have to step on the empty if you are not careful.

Not far away, the man led us to a small two-story building with an iron fence gate, a very old two-story building, and the walls outside the building were crawling with creepers.

When I saw those creepers, I thought of a text that seemed to be learned in elementary school, and I couldn't remember the content for a long time, but I only knew that it was written about creepers, and the reason why I was impressed by this was the teacher's recitation of the full text.

The lights in the house were cast into the small courtyard outside, and in the middle of the courtyard there was a stone table made of concrete, and stone benches, all of which were round, like those in the park.

We were all brought into the room, where there were two Taishi chairs in front of the door, and a row of them in the place directly facing the bottom.

This kind of decoration is really rare now, and most of them can be seen in ancient TV dramas.

On the right side of the gate sat a man with a thick beard, who looked to be in his fifties, and to his left sat a man with a mustache, with a shrewd look, and the moment I saw him, I couldn't help but think of the weasel's face, and I had secretly nicknamed him in my heart, so I called him Weasel.

The weasel is clearly not as high a status as the bearded man.

When they entered the house, they just greeted the bearded man with thick eyebrows, and they all called him: "Uncle Mao." ”

Uncle Mao's eyes were very aggressive, and when he heard the greeting, he just snorted from his nose in response.

Glancing at us and Shuyin who were standing aside, he nodded at Shuyin as a greeting.

Although his expression was clearly not interested in us, I was flattered that he was able to take the initiative to greet Shuyin.

Mao Ye didn't seem to intend to greet us, he quickly moved his gaze to the thick eyebrows: "Everything is ready?" ”

"It's all right." Thick eyebrows, speaking and doing things give people a very stable feeling.

"Hmm." Mao Ye nodded: "Okay, then you go back first, I won't entertain you." ”

Wen Yan, the sissy expressions were all stunned, and finally they opened their mouths with thick eyebrows and asked: "Then may I ask, our things?"

"Not for the time being, let's talk about it next time."

Thick eyebrows, all of them's expressions changed when they heard this: "But that's what you said last time, don't give us anything... Isn't it inappropriate for you to send us all the things we want? ”

"Not suitable?" Mao Ye's eyes froze, and his voice froze: "Why is it inappropriate?" If you don't want to send it...... You don't have to send it. ”

From his words, you can hear a strong smell of threat.

Sure enough, the thick eyebrows over there were embarrassed for a while, and then accompanied by a fake smile that couldn't be faked anymore: "What did Master Mao say, we naturally can't, but I don't know when things will be available?" We're there... It's not easy either. ”

"Who knows, just wait and see." Mao Ye leaned back in his chair and began to send people impatiently: "Okay, okay, it's late, I can't stay up like this with you young people when I'm old, I'll talk about it next time, this time I'll disperse first." ”

This is already an obvious expulsion, the thick eyebrows and face changed in a circle, and finally left with the rest of the people with a face full of unwillingness.

After they left, Shuyin stepped forward to greet Mao Ye politely, that Mao Ye obviously didn't want to deal with the look on his face, but he didn't know why he was still reluctant to deal with it, and finally listened to Shuyin put forward the meaning of repairing here for a few days, his face flashed with displeasure, he should not want a few of us to live here for nothing, and swept us up and down for a while before saying: "It's done, I know, I'll call someone to take you to live first." ”

........

When Shuyin was done, we withdrew from the house.

It didn't take long for someone to come and lead us towards where we lived.

The place where I live is quite harsh...

It hasn't been cleaned at all, and it looks like no one has come in for a few years, and the dust is so thick that it can choke people to death.

The most important thing is that there are no bedding here at all.

The moment the door opened, Shuyin's face changed, and he asked the man, "Live here?" ”

The person who brought us here also looked impatient to leave: "Of course, where else to stay?" The Forbidden City for you to live? ”

"No, how can we rest without this bed and quilt?"

When the man heard this, he turned around and left: "How do I know how you rest?" Love how to rest how to rest, well, no one is allowed to come out after eleven o'clock here, except for the guards, don't come out to wander around, and be shot to death by indiscriminate shooting, don't feel wronged. ”

After the man left, we were stunned for a long time in the filthy room.

In the end, Xiao Wu comforted: "At least it's still a separate yard, it's very comfortable, we'll clean it up tomorrow." ”

As she spoke, I saw an old broom standing in the corner, and I walked over to pick it up to see if it worked, so I went straight into the house and began to sweep the floor.

There are no lights here... Xiao Wu took a flashlight and shone it on me, and swept the ground first.

At least we'll be able to sit and sleep on the ground tonight and make it through the night.

Originally, it was almost dawn, so it was enough to take a short rest.

Actually, to be honest, when I was sweeping the floor, I thought that instead of repairing in such a place for a few days, it would be better for a few of us to go out and find a separate building to fix by ourselves.

Now I really feel that all my suspicions about Shuyin and them before were self-inflicted.

They should have encountered some difficulties that made them have to come here, and the reason why they have to be with us may be purely because they think it is profitable to get from me, Chen Wei's daughter-in-law, so they brought it.

When a few of us sat down in a row against the corner, none of us felt sleepy.

The third child muttered and scolded for a while, although we didn't say anything, we all knew who he was scolding.

I thought about it for a while, and then chose to ask Shuyin, "Shuyin, do you really plan for us to stay here for a few days?" After saying that, I also pointed to the room and emphasized: "Live here?" ”

Shuyin, of course, understood what I meant, and after a moment of silence, she said, "There are no walking corpses here, so it's suitable for resting." ”

Xiao Wu on the side said honestly what none of us said: "But I think... We weren't very welcome. ”

"No one is welcome here." The boss answered Xiao Wu's question: "They only think what is in front of them, if we come today and bring 200 catties of rice or flour, they will at least give us a quilt and a bed tonight." ”

As soon as the boss said this, Xiao Wu asked as if he suddenly understood something: "So those people just now also came to deliver things?"

"It should be."

"But... What do they mean by saying that there is nothing? And they don't seem to be planning to stay. ”

The boss couldn't answer, and looked at Shuyin with Xiao Wu, and Shuyin also shook his head: "I don't know, but I used to know that there were some small groups of more than ten people around who would send them things on time, that is, tribute, and then exchange them for bullets, guns or other things that are not easy to find." After speaking, Shuyin waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, it's late, let's talk about it tomorrow, I can't sleep, I will rest, otherwise I will be even more energetic tomorrow." ”

.............

Then no one really spoke again, and although I didn't fall asleep when I closed my eyes, I was resting.

It wasn't until the next day, when the sky was just dawning, that a few of us were a little sleepy, and just fell asleep, the door was kicked open violently.

A group of furious men entered the courtyard and kicked open the door to our room.

Several of us were awakened from our sleep by the movement.

By the time we opened our eyes, the yard was already crowded.

The weasel entered the house with his head, and before we could come to our confusion, he said angrily: "Which of you did it?!" ”

"What?" In a daze, Xiao Wu asked.

A few of us rubbed our eyes and just got up from the ground.

The weasel stared at Xiao Wu for a while with fine eyes, and then asked again: "Who of you did it?!" ”

"What's the start? What are you talking about? "The boss is a little baffled.

Not only him, but several of us will be very inexplicable.

"Pretend!" The weasel scolded angrily and said: "In the second half of last night, the daughter-in-law of Director Sun's family, who was not far from your courtyard, was killed, and we have a curfew here, except for you who came in the second half of the night, no one else has the opportunity to kill!" ”

After hearing what he said, I thought it was ridiculous, and I opened my mouth and asked, "Why did we kill her?" We don't even know who Director Sun is. ”

Hearing this, the weasel looked at Shuyin, and his tone was almost categorically asserted: "Some of you know who Director Sun is!" ”

Shuyin's face changed: "What do you mean by this?" ”

The weasel said, "What else can it mean?" What I mean isn't obvious enough? Director Sun's daughter-in-law has a holiday with you, and the only person here who might kill her... It's you! ”

"Bloody mouth!" Shuyin was a little angry: "You made such a big fuss so early in the morning just to come over and wronged me?" Since you want to wronged me, just go into the house and say no? What are you pretending to ask? According to what you said, I wrote the word murderer on my head? Speaking of playing, Shuyin sneered several times: "Master Tang is really an unpredictable prophet, if you find a dead person early in the morning, you can immediately know the specific location and specific person of the murderer." ”
