Besides, the little guy in Luofangyuan who is a thief is like a thief meeting a policeman, for fear that these two sharp-eyed catchers will quickly see that he is carrying a real guy, and he is entangled, and he doesn't even dare to turn his head and slips away.

The business of this tavern does not seem to be very good, the customers are very sparse, a tavern with a black beard is idle, and when he sees Ai Ye squatting outside with his shoulders in his arms, he is a little beggar.

He looked around, walked over to a table where the guests had left the bartender before he could clean up, and tossed half of the bread that the guests had left. walked to the door, threw it to Xiao Ai Ye from a distance, and shouted impatiently in his mouth: "Go and go, the little one who wants to eat, the shopkeeper's business has not been good these days, don't keep squatting here to beg for bad luck." ”

Ai Ye hurriedly stood up, refusing to take his alms, just trying to dodge a little, but his hand shrank, and the dough fell under his feet.

Blackbeard was so surprised, he stared at Ai Ye with wide eyes, hey, this little beggar is very temperamental, is it cold to beg for food? Won't ask for leftovers?

At first glance, a flash of surprise quickly appeared on his face, and he said in a lost voice: "Yo, you...... Aren't you Ai Ye, the grandson of the old plum head by the willow river? How did you get this look? Ran to the city to beg for food? What about your grandfather? ”

Ai Ye was also taken aback, and only then did he dare to raise his head to take a closer look at the tavern helper who looked a little vicious, and at first glance, tears came down unconsciously.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm Ai Ye, my grandfather is ...... It's gone. ”

It turned out that this person's surname was Zhang, in fact, he had no relatives with Ai Ye's ancestors and grandchildren, and one year this Uncle Zhang went out to the village to ask for money for him, and accidentally was bitten by a poisonous snake in the calf.

Uncle Zhang knew that in this wilderness, he should not call the earth and the earth ineffective, so he just wanted to hurry back to the city to find Langzhong, but helplessly, the more anxious he walked, the faster the poisonous gas attacked, and soon his legs were swollen and numb, and one leg seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and finally he could only sit on the side of the road and moan.

Just when Uncle Zhang was almost unconscious, it happened that Grandpa Li came back from collecting medicine from the mountains with mugwort leaves, Grandpa Li didn't say a word, first carried this Uncle Zhang back to his broken grass shed, squeezed out the poisonous blood in the wound for him, and then chewed the anti-snake venom herbs just picked from the mountain and put it on the wound for him.

Although that kind of poisonous snake is not a poisonous snake that is immediately fatal, if a person is bitten and does not get timely medical treatment, one leg will be abandoned, and the poison will reach the brain, and even if the person does not die in the future, it will be a dementia.

Uncle Zhang recuperated in Ai Ye's house for three days before he could walk on the ground, and he was unexpectedly saved by Grandpa Li, so he tried every possible way to repay him.

Helplessly, Grandpa Li is an old man with an upright temperament, thinking that he is just doing this is just a matter of effort, and the herbs are picked by himself, and he does not spend any money, and refuses to accept any gifts from Uncle Zhang.

Uncle Zhang was helpless, and later used the excuse of looking for snake medicine for others, and sent a few times of silver, but every time Grandpa Li only took the price of the medicine, and the rest did not ask for anything.

Ai Ye is young and doesn't understand what grandpa means? It's just that every time I watch my grandfather and this Uncle Zhang push back and forth for a few taels of silver, they argue endlessly.

How did Ai Ye know, it turned out that Grandpa Li felt that this Uncle Zhang was not good-looking, and he was also doing the business of exploiting the villagers for his shopkeeper, he was a dog, and the cliff was not a good bird, and Grandpa Li hated him in his heart.

Therefore, even if Grandpa Li happened to save him, it was just out of the idea of saving someone's life, and the old man really didn't want to entangle with such a person more.

Grandpa Li always felt that if he made some wrong friends, he might incur some unexpected disasters in the future.

Gradually, Grandpa Li's stubbornness and boredom also made Uncle Zhang finally put this matter away, and no longer thought about how to repay the life-saving grace, but he didn't expect to suddenly see Ai Ye at the door of this tavern today.

Although he hadn't seen Ai Ye for a long time, and the clothes on Ai Ye's body were messy, he still recognized it at a glance.

How did Ai Ye know that his grandfather used to dislike this Uncle Zhang very much, he just felt that after going through all kinds of sorrows and sufferings, he suddenly met an acquaintance he once knew, and he still had several contacts with them.

If it were someone else's child, Uncle Zhang wouldn't want to do anything else, but this child would be different.

Uncle Zhang hurriedly said to Ai Ye: "Good boy, don't cry, come on, come on, let's talk to Uncle first, what's going on?" How did you find Uncle here? Thankfully, ......"

It turned out that Uncle Zhang thought that Ai Ye had come into the city to find him, but he just squatted outside the tavern and didn't dare to come in.

He couldn't help but think to himself, this is really God's meaning.

It turned out that he didn't want to see those little beggars the most, and when he saw the beggars who came to the door begging, they either stared and shouted, or drove them away with sticks, and he didn't know what was going on today, he felt hot when he saw Ai Ye squatting outside, and he couldn't help but want to find something for him to eat.

In fact, this is not providence at all, it is just an acquaintance psychology at work.

Although Ai Ye was in rags, not like Uncle Zhang had seen before, he was a child with old but neat clothes, but he couldn't recognize it at a glance, but he had a sense of déjà vu.

Everyone has a kind of subconscious nostalgia, and it was Uncle Zhang who looked at Ai Ye's shadow and had some hot eyes, not that he suddenly had any kindness on a whim.

Ai Ye stopped crying, wiped a handful of tears, and said with a sob: "No...... Uncle Zhang, I didn't know you were here, listen to me, yesterday, my grandfather and I went back to the city and found that our family's big reed flower was missing, and then, my grandfather went out to look for it, and he hasn't come back until now. ”

Ai Ye inadvertently omitted a lot of other things, he didn't have any scheming, the key was that he felt that those things had nothing to do with him looking for his grandfather, and he couldn't say a word clearly.

"Grandpa never went back, I ran out to find grandpa, and I heard two officials saying that yesterday, they caught an old man...... I just followed them, and they ...... I entered Uncle Zhang's tavern......"

"Ai Ye, do you mean you came after Li Zhutou and Chen Zhutou?"

Uncle Zhang understood, and the child was brought over by the two head-catchers.

Ai Ye shook his head: "I don't know them, I just heard them say that they caught an old man outside the city yesterday when I was passing by......"

Ai Ye didn't dare to say it, he wasn't sure that the bad old man that the two officials said must be his grandfather.

After all, he has been away from home for a long time, maybe his grandfather has actually gone back as his brother said. He just felt that what the official was talking about must be his grandfather.

"Well, this matter is a bit troublesome, but since you met the uncle, the uncle must not sit idly by, Ai Ye, you first come in with the uncle to drink saliva, and the uncle will try to inquire for you, good boy, don't worry, you can chase those two headhunters and run to the uncle is God's meaning, if the uncle doesn't help you, you will be struck by the sky."

Well, this is the truth, the ancients were more particular about receiving the grace of dripping water when the spring reciprocates, no matter the person's nature is good or evil, in the matter of knowing the grace and repaying it, ordinary people will not be ambiguous.

Ai Ye is also lucky, and he actually met such an Uncle Zhang by chance.

……

Li Zhutou poured a full glass of wine for Chen Zhutou: "Come on, come on, Lao Chen, we brothers haven't had a drink for a long time, you don't know, only since you took leave, those bastards have no natural control, and the master doesn't want to restrain him, he blindly knows how to get silver, cough, I'll just talk to your brother, don't spread it......"

Speaking of this, Li Zhutou unconsciously closed his mouth and looked around.

Fortunately, this tavern was very deserted, and the bartender had already gone to cool down after serving the food, and the shopkeeper was not there, and the familiar steward helped the idle beard to go out to pick up the little beggar, and no one expected to hear anything.

Lao Chen, the head catcher, was still sullen: "This world is like this, anyway, officials don't rob soldiers, soldiers don't rob bandits, whoever robs it counts." ”

I picked up the wine cup and drank it all again, and I didn't eat a single dish of vegetables, and drank three full of soju in the blink of an eye.

"Lao Li, just say it quickly, Baba is looking for me, what is the matter? However, we have to talk about it in front, my arm is not neat yet, and I really can't cope with the old brother recently from the messenger in front of the master. ”

Li Zhutou immediately smiled: "That's nature, that's nature, hey, it's actually for the idea of Li Fu...... Look at it, Master Li is getting faint every day, and now he almost doesn't swallow a breath. ”

"That second aunt is so amazing, she went to the grandfather's court twice in three days, saying that Master Li didn't breathe because he was unwilling to turn a blind eye, and that Master Li died unjustly, and he must ask the grandfather to show her the real murderer."

"However, think about it, a doctor from Huairentang, who has been walking in their house for many years, even if he can't cure Gongzi's typhoid fever, he won't cure people to death, so the second aunt is too sure that someone is behind the scenes, or poisoned Gongzi's decoction, so she refuses to bury her alive or dead, and she is not allowed to close the case."

"The master was pestered by that woman, the Li family was already powerful in Wuzhou City, and they had an inextricable relationship with the court, and the master got a lot of money from her, it is difficult to refute, the Cheng Ri family asked us people to search and check outside the city, Lao Chen, think about it, what kind of bird can you check? Left and right are just a scourge to the common people. ”

"Hey, I wonder if this can't just be broken...... There is always an injury when two tigers fight, Lao Chen, you see ......"

Lao Chen nodded and sneered: "Li Xuewei has a good idea, their brothers and sisters are embarrassed to catch the thief, thinking that the current Li Mansion is all under their control, pitiful, he killed an innocent Li Gongzi alive, and he did too much evil......
