"What's wrong with this girl, she doesn't look right." Mrs. Chen muttered to the shopkeeper Chen in a low voice.

Shopkeeper Chen sat there, the abacus in his hand was replaced by a pair of rice paper, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, as if he hadn't heard his wife talking to him. After pondering for a long time, he wrote five big words "Home and Everything", and looked at it for a moment after writing. Shaking his head, he said, "'Home' is not good to write, and 'Gray Flying Home' is written well, and some people have praised it all over the world, but the word 'home' is not easy to write." ”

Mrs. Chen went to knock on Xi'en's door uneasily, and after a while, Xi'en came out of it with a smile. When I came to the table, I looked at my father's handwriting, and sighed, "Our family is harmonious enough, but there is an extra style to make horizontal in it, and the end makes people unhappy." ”

Shopkeeper Chen put down the pen and was about to serve the water on the table. Xi En casually picked up the residual tea and poured it, and made new tea.

"The bowl of rice we eat, and besides, Master Wang is generally passable, so you don't have to go to the back, alas, the business has just improved a little, and you can't live in vain."

Mrs. Chen also wanted to echo a few words, but she couldn't say anything.

Xi'en knew the difficulties of the second elder, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I am naturally measured, and my father and mother will be well, waiting for me and my eldest brother to make the dyeing workshop bigger and honor you." ”

In the evening, Xien delivered the food to the backyard door, handed it to Yan Rui, and went back to the room, only saying that he had eaten too much at noon, was not hungry, and went to bed early.

After Yanrui finished serving Master Wang to eat and drink, he went out to find someone to drink and chat, leaving Yanrui alone to guard the dyeing workshop.

At the third watch, Xi En groped and knocked on the door, and Yan Rui came out of the room.

"Are you ready?"

"It's all put in the haystack outside the courtyard of the Liu family, and you can use it when you go." Yanrui said honestly.

The two walked east along the street, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family lived in a single-door courtyard at the entrance of Dongjie. In the past, the Liu family was quite solid, with a red lacquered wooden door, a copper knocker clanging, and a stone lion on one side. I scolded the daughter-in-law of the Lion Liu family for this, but after all, she didn't find the narrow ghost, and she didn't have the strength to straighten it out, and she got used to it after a long time.

When the two arrived outside the gate of Liu's house, Xi'en whistled, and a black shadow burst out of the darkness.

"Brother Xiaobai, the black skin is here."

Xi En lowered his voice and said, "I know you're coming, three white-faced buns, and the old place tomorrow." ”

Heipi swallowed his saliva and sucked, "Brother knows that you are true to your word, and with my Heipi here, I can't mistake you." ”

Xi'en said 'um', and handed the gong to Heipi's hand, "Later, you will knock vigorously along this courtyard, shouting people to catch thieves, and when people come, they will quickly retreat, and they must not be discovered." ”

After instructing Heipi, Xi En took Yanrui's hand and blocked the back door of the Liu family.

Yan Rui felt a little weak in his heart, he had done such a thing before, and he couldn't help but say, "I think this is enough, or let's go back and listen to the letter." ”

Xien turned around and patted his brother on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid, I gave him food in tonight's dish, I'm afraid he won't have the strength to run if he wants to." ”

At this time, the front door remembered the sound of the gong, which was especially loud in the middle of the night. "There are thieves, come and catch them!" The black skin shouted with extra hard work.

Master Wang lifted his belt and was about to go back to the room, but tonight he ran seven or eight times to the thatched house, and he was so depressed.

The daughter-in-law of the Liu family was holding the quilt in her arms, and her mouth was pouting, "You are an old thing, you are consuming in the Chen family every day, and you eat better than the shopkeepers, I think there is too much oil and water in the stomach, and I am reluctant to give the old lady a few copper plates." ”

Master Wang kicked in the door and outside the door, just wanting to comfort this good friend. was calmed by the noise coming from outside, and he was a thief, and his brain immediately sweated, and he didn't know whether to go in or go out for a while.

"What are you doing in a daze? I didn't come to rub my mother's shoulders, I was troubled by you in the middle of the night, and the old problem of shoulder pain was frozen out. The daughter-in-law of the Liu family began to scold.

"Come on, my little liver." Master Wang couldn't hold back and entered the door.

At this time, the outside was already turned upside down by the black skin, and the neighbors left and right, especially those who had a business and a little bit of a family background, and where could they sleep, got up and came out to see the movement.

"Oh no, I have to leave tonight, and I'll come back to see you tomorrow night." Master Wang couldn't complain this time, so he put on his pants and ran out of the door. As soon as I rushed to the front door, didn't I hear the sound of the door being lively? Frightened, he turned around and ran to the back door.

Xi En was waiting impatiently, and the half-man hammered the mallet used for his clothes, raised it high, and saw a black shadow come out, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, and swept it over the next plate.

"Oops! I'm going to die! ”

Thankfully, he pulled Yanrui and ran away.

Seeing that the people were gradually gathering more, the black skin led him to the back door again. The more people gathered, the more lively they became, and the more lively they became, the more they didn't know why, and they only ran with the gong.

"The thief is here!" A man heard a cry and hurriedly beckoned the people behind him to come around.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, the black skin closed the gong early, and ran away in the dark.

"Who is this? Tell me, what did you steal? ”

"What a big boldness, we have a person like you in Hulutun, don't hide it, show it and take a look."

A few young men couldn't wait, so they stepped forward and lifted the man on the ground up.

Mrs. Chen looked out of the door anxiously, and the shopkeeper Chen in the room paced back and forth, his steps were sometimes hurried and sometimes slow, but he was also anxious.

Yan Rui ran to the door of his house, and a hanging heart fell back to its original place. But when he saw the light coming out of the crack in the door, he froze for a moment, and looked back at Xi'en in a daze.

Xi'en gently pushed the door open, "Daddy, we're back, your second elder hasn't slept yet?" The words were very calm, as if she had just wandered around and come back to say hello to her family.

"Get on your knees!" Shopkeeper Chen scolded.

Yan Rui was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Dad, you ask about the situation first, the child is small and not sensible." Mrs. Chen hurriedly stood up to explain.

Xi En took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to the shopkeeper Chen. Shopkeeper Chen raised his hand high and put it down, but the paper was opened and looked at it, and suddenly looked up at Xi En, "This, this?" ”

"If you are kind to us, we will never forget it, but the guy who doesn't know what to do is also a scourge to keep, so it's better to solve it as soon as possible." Xi En said very decisively.

Shopkeeper Chen sighed, this kind of bearing and courage may not have even when he was young. Now that he saw it in Xi'en, he couldn't help but feel emotional. "But it's a little too ruthless." Shopkeeper Chen is an honest man, although Master Wang has been in the Chen family for more than ten years like a Buddha, he still misses the benefits of others.

"When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic, Hongchang Dyeing Workshop has you and Brother Yan Rui, and then there is this recipe, we will not be able to do it in the future." Xi'en said to her father.
