Chapter 158: It Turned Out to Be These Two 'Brothers'
The two brothers followed the man into a simple hut in the deepest part of the town, where he pushed open the wooden door and squeaked.
As soon as the door was pushed open, the dust fell, and the man who led the way coughed a few times, waved his hand in front of him a few times, and muttered a few words in his mouth, and groped into the room with familiar directions, and when he reached the corner of the house, the two brothers standing at the door heard the sound of flint grinding again, as if an oil lamp had been lit, and then a faint light lit, and the room was dim.
The man turned to the two brothers and beckoned, "Come in, don't be at the door." ”
The two glanced at each other, and walked in one after the other, and the tall brother was puzzled: "Brother, here...... Be? ”
The man said, "This is a house that I don't use for the time being, but fortunately no relatives have visited recently, so it's cheaper for your brother, but what ......about the rent."
The brother hurriedly smiled and said, "I won't lose you." As soon as the elder brother stretched out his hand, the short brother hurriedly took out another handful of copper coins and gave them to him.
The man stretched out his hand to take it, and without looking at it, he put it into a money bag hanging beside him, and the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he didn't think the money was enough.
The elder brother hurriedly said: "This is only a deposit for the house money, my brothers have come all the way, and the money is not much left, and when they find a job, they will pay the house money to the elder brother immediately." ”
The man looked at the two of them with disdain, and said, "You two settle down first, and I will find someone for you to be a guarantor, and I will come and call you later." ”
The tall brother hurriedly bowed down to thank him, and said: "My family calls me Xiao Da, my brother Xiao Er, how can I call my brother?" ”
"Li Chuyi!" When the man had finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the door, and when he reached the door, he remembered something, turned his head and said, "If anyone asks, just say that you are my distant cousin in my family." ”
The two brothers nodded hurriedly to show that they understood, and the elder brother smiled and sent Li Chuyi to the door, and when he saw him leaving, Fang turned around and entered the house, and after covering the door, he turned his head to look at his brother again.
The shorter brother had already put his baggage in a dilapidated cabinet in the corner, and took the oil lamp and looked around.
After seeing his brother close the door, Fang nodded and said, "There is finally a place to stay, these five miles seem to be chaotic, but in fact they are so tight." ”
The elder brother changed his previous smile and said apologetically: "I'm wronged, I want you to live in such a simple house!" ”
"It doesn't matter! I'm not a weak person! The short brother said.
The elder brother touched his face and praised, "Your disguise technique has been successful, and you can change people's faces so much with just medicine." ”
The short younger brother said: "I learned art from my master, and I only achieved this little success, and I am really ashamed of his old man." Then he said: "Wulitou really opens in the middle of the night, if we outsiders don't meet this Li Chuyi today, I'm afraid we won't even have a place to stay." ”
"It's such a coincidence, I don't know if it's luck or another mystery, let's explore first!" The elder brother said.
"Brother Yin is really thoughtful, if it weren't for you to accompany me, it would be quite inconvenient for me to come here alone." The brother thanked him.
Listening to the conversation between these two, isn't it Yin Ren and Zhao Xian after the disguise?
Yin Ren's eyes sparkled in the dim candlelight, looked at Zhao Xian and said slowly: "I once said that as long as you are willing, no matter what, I will support it!" ”
Zhao Xian seemed to be burned by the eyes on the other side, and hurriedly opened her eyes, her face was slightly red, but fortunately she was coated with medicine on her face, which covered the red tightly.
When she avoided her eyes, she swept to the wall, and was stunned for a moment, and then with an embarrassed look on her face, Yin Ren followed her line of sight, only to find that there was only a bed made of stones on the wall, which was not too big. He understood Zhao Xian's concerns and said, "I'll find something to sleep on the ground at that time." ”
Zhao Xian smiled apologetically again, and wanted to say more, but suddenly stopped and whispered, "Someone is here." ”
The two of them said no more, pretending to clean up the earthen bed. After a while, the sound of footsteps came, and it was obvious that it was not a person, and before the footsteps reached the door, they slowed down, and seemed to creep to the door. After coming to the door and stopping for a moment, someone coughed lightly, patted the shaking wooden door, and shouted, "Cousin! ”
Yin Ren hurriedly changed into a flattering smile, and took a few steps to open the door.
Outside the door stood Li Chuyi, and behind him was a middle-aged man, because the man was carrying the moonlight on his back and couldn't see his face clearly, and when the man saw Yin Ren open the door, he just looked at Yin Ren back and forth with his eyes.
Yin Ren still said with a smile on his face: "Cousin, are you here?" ”
Li Chuyi didn't pay attention to Yin Ren, turned his head and smiled at the man: "Bao Chang, these two brothers are my distant cousins, because the family can't live anymore, so they came to take refuge in me, and I ask you to be a guarantor and find a job for them." ”
The man retracted his gaze and said to Li Chuyi: "You also know the rules of Ludao Town, if it weren't for your cousin's face, how could I guarantee the two of them?" ”
Li Chuyi turned his head again and said: "Xiao Da, Xiao Er, still thank you for Xie Baochang?" ”
Yin Ren hurriedly pulled Zhao Xian to bow down, and the man waved his hand and asked, "Is it convenient now?" Come with me? "Let's take the lead.
Li Chuyi hurriedly whispered: "Hurry up and keep up, I have a good errand today, and it depends on the two of you." ”
Several people followed the chief and walked back to the open street along the road they came, but they did not stop, and walked into an alley on the side, and after continuing to walk along the alley, they saw a small wooden door, and the chief came to the wooden door and raised his hand and knocked on it, and after the sound of two long and one short sound, someone inside asked through the door: "Who?" ”
The chief replied, "It's me!" ”
The door was suddenly opened, and someone inside laughed: "The chief is here!" ”
The chief nodded and asked, "Is the steward here?" ”
"It's getting angry at this time!" The man inside replied.
The chief asked, "What's the matter?" The man shook his head with a sneer, pointing his finger inside.
The chief paused for a moment, then turned his head and said, "Let's go in!" Yin Ren and the others hurriedly lowered their heads and followed.
After walking about ten steps, the front suddenly opened up, and it turned out that they had arrived at a large warehouse, which was lined with bags of goods, neatly stacked against the wall, and the warehouse was lit with candles everywhere, illuminating the people inside.
At this time, a middle-aged steward was standing in the middle of the warehouse, holding a booklet in his hand, pointing to another person who seemed to be a bookkeeper and scolded: "What are you?" How can this account be full of errors? How do you ask me to hand it over? ”
The bookkeeper said: "The little guy who helped before had something at home, and suddenly he didn't do it, so he temporarily found someone to calculate it, who ......knows?"
The steward asked, "Can't you find a few people who know how to do math?" ”
The bookkeeper quietly wiped his sweat and didn't dare to squeak, thinking in his heart that these people who carried the goods were rough people, how could there be anyone who could settle accounts, so his expression was a little embarrassed.
The steward was about to ask again, when he suddenly turned his head and saw the chief of the bodyguard, he hurriedly restrained the anger on his face and said, "The chief of security! ”
Zhao Xian just watched the conversation between the steward and the bookkeeper on the side, and was secretly happy in her heart, but there was a hint of eagerness on her face.
