072 Catch the door
A few days later, Wu Zhi was beaten from behind, and the man tied him up and threw him into the carriage, and since then, Wu Zhi's whereabouts have been unknown.
Uncle Wang was the first to find out about this, because Wu Zhi had never gone to work, he went to knock on the door next door and couldn't find anyone, and in the end he couldn't do it, he climbed over the wall and entered, and the courtyard was still empty, which is really strange.
Uncle Wang waited all night and didn't see Wu Zhi come back, and later, he went to report to the official, and after the people of the government checked, they knew that Su Wang and Wu Zhi were tenants, so they sent two arresters to go directly to Sujia Village, one surnamed Xiao, the other surnamed Wang, the one surnamed Wang was Uncle Wang's own nephew, and he also knew Su Wang.
Not only did Wang Zhukuai know Su Wang, but Xiao Zhukuai knew Su Wang, because just a few days before Wu Zhi disappeared, Su Wang also took a particularly handsome man to the yamen and asked the yamen if there were any missing persons, saying that the handsome man had amnesia and didn't know where his home was.
Naturally, such a matter was handed over to the yamen.
There are cases of missing persons in the yamen, but most of the missing people are women and children, but there are no cases of missing men, Su Wang wants to hand over people to the yamen, but where are those who are willing to take care of this idle matter, naturally Su Wang took the person back, and also persuaded: This person has lost his memory, and you can be regarded as a good fate if you help, besides, this person has strength when he looks at it, it is better to let him do some work, and it will not let him eat and drink in vain.
Of course, he said this behind the man's back, but the man was a martial artist and had a very sharp ear, and since they spoke quietly, the man could hear it as well.
After that, Su Wang took the man to the courtyard rented with Wu Zhi, and he said to the man: You can live here, I have rented this courtyard with Wu Zhi for a year, and I have lived for more than three months, and I can live here for more than eight months, you can live here with peace of mind, by the way, Uncle Wang next door has a job in his hands, and he also includes food, otherwise, I will help you tell him, you can work with Uncle Wang, so that you can also support yourself.
Su Wang said again: I can't keep feeding and calling you, or you can give yourself a name. In this way, he can have a name when he introduces people.
The man touched the silver knife on his waist and said, "Call me the silver knife."
This name is so murderous.
After Yindao finished speaking, he stopped Su Wang: I will find a job myself, you don't have to go to Uncle Wang.
When Su Wang heard this, he looked at him with some unease: Do you really know? Uncle Wang will only come back in the evening, and if he does, he will have to stay in town for one night.
Silver Knife said: I just have amnesia, and I'm not stupid.
Wu Zhi hadn't disappeared when Su Wang reported to the official, and because it was daytime, Uncle Wang and Wu Zhi were both working at Chang's house, so the two were not at home.
Later, Su Wang also told Wu Zhi about his appearance, and said: If he asks about you, you will say that I introduced you and lived here temporarily.
Su Wang saw the large swollen forehead of the silver knife, and he remembered the strength of the second girl's smashing down, and thought that this person was smashed by the second girl's head, he thought, the silver knife was penniless, let the silver knife stay alone in the town, even if he could do work, he would have to survive the first few days, so Su Wang counted twenty copper plates, handed them to the silver knife, and he told him three times: These are your rations for the past few days, don't remember, you must find a job before the money is spent, otherwise, you will starve to death.
The silver knife calmly took the twenty coins, and then nodded casually.
After doing this, Su Wang left the town with confidence and returned to Sujia Village. By the way, the carriage had already been returned at that time, and Su Wang walked back by himself.
Su Wang's good mood ended when he entered the house, because it was the door opened by the silver knife, and he smiled slightly when he saw Su Wang.
Su Wang was really dumbfounded, didn't this kid agree to live in the town, didn't this kid live in the alley when he left the town! Moreover, when he was walking on the road, he obviously turned around, and there was no figure of this kid at all, okay!
How the hell did this kid get in front of him!
Su Wang pointed to the nose of the silver knife and asked, "You, you, didn't you say that you want to find a job in the town?" How did you come back!
After that time, the silver knife was in the Su family, at first the Su family was unwilling, this person couldn't drive away, if he drove him, he didn't speak, he obediently went out, but he was guarding outside the courtyard gate of the Su family, and he kept squatting outside at night without calling him in, shrinking into a ball, very pitiful.
Su A-Niang was soft-hearted, she thought that Yindao was still a patient, so she called someone to the house and asked him to sleep in a room with Su Wang at night.
Gradually, the Su family found that Yindao was diligent and honest and could work, he went out at dawn to chop wood, carry water, cut pigweed, feed rabbits, do all the work, and did it very well! At first, he didn't know it, he just watched it when others did it, and he only watched it once, which was very powerful.
Su Daniu especially admires him.
In this way, the silver knife became a part of the Su family.
On this day, when Wang Zhukuai and Xiao Zhuai found the Su family, Yindao was helping Su Yu dry wild grapes, Su Yu was responsible for picking wild grapes, she picked out all the rotten and deflated grapes, Su A-Niang was washing grapes, Su Yu also told Su A-Niang that she couldn't rub her hands when washing.
Su Da twisted the sun-dried wild grapes into the jar, and then the fruit was squeezed.
Su Yu reminded Su Daniu while picking grapes: Don't throw this green fruit peel, you have to keep it, otherwise you won't be able to make wine.
Su Daniu looked puzzled: This green flesh is crushed, and there is only a layer of shell left in this skin, really don't throw it away?
Su Yu nodded and said: Keep it, and remember, don't fill the jar, just fill it with seventy percent.
Su Xiaobao was holding the two baby books and reading, he didn't recognize all the words in the books, but he also knew a few, and even if he didn't know it, it didn't matter, Su Yu helped Xiaobao make a sand pile on the ground, Xiaobao used a branch to write words in the sand push as long as he was free, one stroke at a time, but seriously.
As for Su Wang, someone in the village wants to dig a well, and he wants to dig a well for his own family, but he doesn't know what the charter is, so he got up early in the morning, ready to see how others dig the well, of course, he has a lot of strength, and he can also help.
Xiao Zhukuai and Wang Zhukuai were wearing official uniforms and a horizontal knife around their waists, as soon as they entered Sujia Village, they caused panic among the villagers.
The people don't fight with the officials, although the arrest is just a small official who is not even an official, but it is enough to deal with these villagers, how can they not be afraid.
Who are they here to arrest?
Uncle Su of the old Su family was playing in the house, and the stone hurriedly ran into the house and shouted: Mother, mother, the catch is coming!
Uncle Su's body trembled, and the red rope used to tie the rope in her hand fell to the ground all of a sudden, no, it wouldn't be to catch her! The second girl died, and the girl threatened her, saying that she was looking for a head catcher!
Aunt Su was in a hurry in the house, Stone, go and see again, where are they going?
The stone ran out quickly, he went to inquire about the news again, and after a while, he ran back out of breath: Mother, those two catchers are asking where the brother's house is!
Aunt Su was scared silly, but soon she comforted herself, maybe it was the family that caught Erniu, and it had nothing to do with her.
This method is useless, Aunt Su is still afraid, she closed the door tightly, bolted it, hid on the bed by herself, got into the quilt, and covered her head tightly, she was still wearing clothes, she was not too hot!
Wang Zhutou quickly stopped a villager and asked the location of the Su family, but Su Wang's family was indeed a little biased, so Wang Zhutou asked this person to take them to the Su family.
When Wang Zhukuai and Xiao Zhukuai appeared at the door of Su's house, they also scared Su Yu and them, Su Yu reacted first, the first thing she thought of was the matter of the silver knife, could it be that the relatives of the silver knife were found?
When the villagers had brought them there, they ran away as fast as they could.
Wang Zhuai quickly recognized Su Wang, his eyes swept in the courtyard, but he didn't see Su Wang's figure, so he asked out loud: Is this Su Wang's home?
Su Yuying said: Exactly, I don't know what happened to the two headhunters?
The king quickly said: I am not a head catcher, but just a small catcher in the ya, where is Su Wang, quickly call him out to reply.
Wang Zhukuai said as he walked into the Su family's courtyard with Xiao Zhukuai.
Su Dayu wiped the grape juice on her hand on her body, and then said quickly: My brother is in the village, I will call him back, and the two of you will wait for a while. After Su Daniu finished speaking, she picked up her skirt and ran out of the courtyard.
Su A-Niang hurriedly put down the work in her hand and went to the kitchen to pour two cups of hot water.
Su Yu and Yindao went to the house and moved two stools out of the house, and sat down for the two catchers, Wang Yu quickly took the hot water brought by Su Aniang, took a shallow sip, and swept his eyes on the wild grapes and the jar.
Silver Knife asked: But have you found my family?
Na Xiao quickly shook his head and said: How can it be so fast, this time it is not for your business.
Su Yu asked: What is the matter?
Wang Zhuai said: This matter has nothing to do with you, so it's better not to ask.
Su Yu shut his mouth and went to pick wild grapes again, and so did Yin, he didn't speak, but learned from Su Yu to dry grapes.
Soon, Su Daniu came back with Su Wang, and Su Wang had already heard Su Daniu say that there were two catchers at home on the way, so he didn't show a surprised look when he saw Wang Zhukuai and Xiao Zhukuai.
When Wang Zhutou saw Su Wang coming, he stood up, and he asked straight to the point: Have you seen Wu Zhi recently?
Wu Zhi?
Su Wang shook his head and said: I haven't seen him recently, and the last time I saw him was seven or eight days ago.
Xiao Yu quickly asked: When did you see it, where did you meet it, and what happened at that time?
Su Wang thought about it for a while and said: I met Uncle Wang next door, when the three of us drank together, Wu Zhi was still asleep at home when I left home the next day, and when I returned home in the afternoon, Wu Zhi had already gone out, so that night was the last time I talked to him. Did Wu Zhi have an accident?
Su Wang was a little uneasy when he asked, could it be that Wu Zhi had committed something, that kid was elusive every day, and he didn't have a proper business, could it be that it was really those three hands (thieves)?
Wang Zhutou sighed: Wu Zhi did have an accident, he was missing, and there has been no news about the case reported by Uncle Wang for four consecutive days.
Su Wang asked: Will he go home?
Wang Zhutou rubbed his temples and said: It's strange here, I can't find his family at all, I asked all the people who knew him, I didn't know where his family was, Uncle Wang also provided a message, saying that Wu Zhi had a father and stepmother, but there are so many people in the town, there are many people surnamed Wu, and there are many remarries, this line has little effect.
Xiao Zhutou also asked: Does Wu Zhi have any enemies or the like?
Su Wangzhi shook his head, Wu Zhi is very popular, and he has never heard of an enemy.
Wang Zhutou said: This is strange, it is also dignified, a good person, why is it gone?
Su Wang asked again: Where did Wu Zhi disappear, is it still a teahouse or a tavern at home?
Wang Zhukuai said: This is not clear, but it is certain that it is definitely not the Chang family who is missing.
Su Wang was puzzled: What does this have to do with the Chang family?
The king catches the head and says: What is he doing in the Chang family, of course, he must start to investigate from the Chang family, but the people who work with him have seen him leave the Chang family with their own eyes.
Su Wang was surprised: he would agree to do such a hard work! It's incredible, in his impression, Wu Zhi is not a diligent person.
The two catchers asked Wu Zhi about his usual habits, Su Wang said it, chatted and chatted and it was lunch time, these two catchers naturally stayed to eat, after eating and drinking, these two catchers left Su's house, when they left, they also carried two bags of fresh bamboo shoots and a small bag of wild grapes, the bamboo shoots were picked in the morning, and the grapes were also picked today.
When the two catchers went to Su's house, many people in the village thought that the Su family was going to be unlucky, but when they knew that the two catchers were just going around Su's house and leaving with their things, a method came to their hearts: these two catchers came to Su's house!
Su Wang said before that he knew Catch Kuai, and this thing is true!
For a while, Su Wang's image in the hearts of the people of Sujia Village suddenly became erect.
The arrest was about to leave, and the Su family regained its calm.
No one would have thought that this matter was related to the Chen Mansion, and it was simply a matter that couldn't be hit by eight poles, and the ghost could only think of it.
In the afternoon, Su Wang didn't go out, but helped Su Yu make zuò wine, Brother Su took over Su Yu's work, he was responsible for selecting wine, and Su Yu was checking Su Daniu's crushed grapes, and after she was sure that there was no problem with the flesh and skin of these broken grapes, she and the bowl buckled the mouth of the altar.
Su A-Niang saw it and said on the side: "Erniu, add water at the mouth of the altar, otherwise it will not be sealed tightly enough."
Su Yu said with a smile: It can't be sealed, grape fermentation will produce gas, but if it is sealed, the jar may explode, besides, this grape fermentation also requires oxygen...... Such. Su A-Niang and they don't know what oxygen is, and it's useless to say it.
Su A-Niang was worried: Can this work? Why doesn't this sound reliable, but can any wine really work?
Su Yu said confidently: Mother, you can rest assured.
Wild grapes filled five jars, and there were leftovers, Su Yu cleaned his hands, squeezed all the remaining grapes into juice, and filtered them again with fine yarn, because the wild grapes were a little sour, so Su Yu added a little jaggery sugar to them, this sugar was bought by Lord Su last time he went to the town with Brother Su, that is, the time he bought a book.
Because the wild grapes are a little sour and the sugar content is not enough, to make a delicious wine, you really have to add sugar, so ah, Su Yu persuaded Brother Su to buy it at that time.
When the juice is sweetened with sugar, it becomes sweet and sour.
Su Yu poured a bowl for one of her family, Su Yu took a sip herself, and everyone watched her drink, and the expression on her face did not change, so she drank it with confidence.
Xiaobao only licked a small bite at first, but later found that this thing was sweet, so he took the bowl and poured it up, and after drinking a bowl, he shouted again: Second sister, I want more!
After the others finished drinking, they also looked unsatisfied.
Silver Knife looked at this grape juice, and also felt that it tasted good, but it was a little sweet, he liked lighter things, he quietly glanced at the five jars in the yard, can this kind of thing really be made into wine?
Su Daniu picked up the bowl and poured the last drop into her stomach, she licked her mouth, and said: Erniu, I think this thing is good, it must be much better than the wine in your jar, I don't like wine, how can we girls drink! You might as well make more of this juice, and maybe you can sell it in town!
Yes, the wine is not good, and the grape juice is also okay.
Su A-Niang went to the mountain together and didn't need money to make such a delicious thing, so she couldn't help but think about it.
Su Wang saw that his family members were all excited, and said: Otherwise, let's try it in the village first, there are many villages around, if it should be good, let's go to the town again. After all, the town is far away.
Good! Su A-Niang and Su Da Niu nodded again and again.
Su Yu hesitated for a moment and said: If the villagers ask about the method, then what do they say?
Su Yu paused for a while, and said: Everyone is from the same village, this thing can't be hidden, you only need to stare at our house for two days to know that we use the fruit from the mountain, and when the time comes, they will learn from it, this thing can't be sold at all, it's better to go directly to the town to sell it.
Su Wang's is also the same reason.
If someone as close as Uncle Bolt and Aunt Bolt asked, he couldn't help but answer.
However, if you go to the town, this time it will be a four-person hour, and things won't be broken, right?
Directly bring the grapes (green fruits) to the town, the eldest brother has a place to live there, and when the time comes, he will squeeze the juice there, and sell it directly on the street, how much or as much as he wants, and the grapes can be juiced and much better.
Well, that's all!
