Chapter 62: The Secret Behind the Counter
"This ...... I'm just afraid that if you run away with the money, who will pay for my brother's funeral expenses......"
The leader's words are a little weak-hearted.
"Our family has been kidnapped by you, who will take the money and escape? Oh~ I think you're afraid that if you don't take it at this time, you'll be swallowed up by your own master when you turn around~"
With a roll of his eyes, Ruoshui immediately understood their good calculations. The leader who had been exposed to his heart was annoyed and angry, walked a few steps to the side of the tall man, raised his foot and stomped it down fiercely.
"No more nonsense, I'll scrap this kid first!"
"You ......"
The injuries on Gao Dazhuang's body were not very good, and the bandages on his legs had not been removed, and after being stepped on by the man, a mouthful of blood spurted out directly, and he already looked like he was about to faint.
In order to stop his family from being abused, Ruoshui could only silence angrily.
The man who received the order to get the money finally walked to the counter triumphantly. However, Bai Sulian, who had already been pumped and groggy, suddenly shouted loudly at this moment.
"Don't go over! Can't pass! ”
Although his voice was indistinct, his anxious look was a little too much. Ruoshui was a little puzzled, according to her usual understanding, Bai Sulian was not the kind of person who didn't want to die for money, why was she suddenly so excited? There's something wrong with that!
"Ha~ You said you wouldn't let you go~ Joke~"
The man laughed, still on his feet. Seeing this, Bai Sulian became even more angry, and she had already begun to struggle to get out of control.
Wrong! There must be something hidden in this! Ruoshui thought to herself.
"Sister Bai, if he wants to go, just let him go!"
Thinking of this, I can no longer stop it, and if the water is smart, it suddenly does the opposite.
"If water, you ......"
There was no discussion beforehand, but Bai Sulian didn't know that Ruoshui had already measured it in her heart, and she was suddenly in a hurry.
"Wait!"
In fact, people are sometimes like this, they don't want to do what they do, and when they are allowed to do it, they hesitate and refuse to come forward. And Ruoshui just grasped the suspicious point in human nature, and bet that this leader is more or less a bit of a brain, so he is obviously indulgent, but in fact, he said that excitedly.
Sure enough, although Bai Sulian couldn't understand in a hurry, the other party suddenly stopped, and his eyes were even more suspicious.
"You, go get it."
One finger is like water, his face is full of defensiveness and caution, and his feet are followed by a low ** sound.
"Humph! I'll take it, I'll take it, and today is your fate! ”
muttered in his mouth, but his voice was not big enough for those present to faintly hear. Of course, Bai Sulian also heard it, but she didn't understand what it meant, but at least it wasn't the other party's person who passed, and she was secretly relieved, and finally stopped struggling.
If the water is deliberately expressed as if there is a mechanism on the counter, he sang a "empty city plan". But it finally worked, and this time everyone didn't dare to approach the counter, only Ruoshui got into the counter in full view of everyone and slowly buried his body.
Under the counter, there is a cash box specially used for the day's running water, and the loose silver that is usually used for change is in it. Ruoshui had complained to Bai Sulian before, hiding so far down, every time she got change, she had to bend down to find it, which was really inconvenient. But at this moment, she was really glad, fortunately she hadn't had time to change the cash box to another location, otherwise it would be really difficult to escape the surveillance of such people outside.
I don't know when a tall bench was stuffed in front of the cash box, which Bai Sulian usually sits on when she is settling accounts, and she usually leans against the wall during the day, so it is impossible to be squeezed into such a small place at this time, it seems that behind this bench should be something that makes Bai Sulian extremely nervous.
Pressing the chest of the heart beating wildly, Ruoshui quietly pulled out the bench, and under the narrow table with the cash box, a small figure curled up in a ball gradually revealed its true face.
Xiao Yong! How could this kid be hiding here!
Hurriedly covered his mouth, and finally swallowed the exclamation that came to his mouth, and as soon as the sailor let go, the bench fell to the ground with a "clang".
"What's going on?"
I heard a strange noise outside, and I already had the idea of going forward to take a look, but I was a little hesitant for a while because of the mechanism that might be stored in Ruoshuikou.
"It's okay~ Sister Bai, why did you stuff the key to the cash box so far inside?"
"Woo ......"
In fact, Bai Sulian didn't know what Ruoshui was doing underneath, but thinking that she had already discovered Xiao Yong who was hiding under the counter, she just responded vaguely and didn't dare to say anything.
But in the end, there was still no reluctance, Ruoshui looked at Xiao Yong who was curled up and pursed his mouth tightly, his face was full of tears and snot, but he didn't dare to say a word, his little face was wrinkled, and he was suddenly distressed. She reached out and squeezed his little hand, signaling him not to be afraid, and looked around.
There was an account book for bookkeeping on the top of the cash box, but there was no pen, Ruoshui bit his fingertips ruthlessly, and simply made a few strokes on a blank piece of paper, and then used the "clanging" sound of unlocking to cover up the "whoosh" sound of tearing off the paper.
Spread the paper in front of Xiao Yong, Ruoshui fingers clicked, and explained the meaning of the paper silently in a few clicks.
Two small figures with very simple lines are drawn on it, one with a winged cap and a large protruding belly, and the other holding a fan in his hand. These two people painted the festival envoy Zhang and Ye Fengtian who participated in the auction that day, Xiao Yong, this kid is smart, he only looked at it twice and understood who the painting was, and nodded to Ruoshui.
Ruoshui was overjoyed, and then raised his hand above the person with a protruding abdomen and drew a circle, signaling Xiao Yong to find him, and then drew a circle above the person holding the fan, indicating that this person was here.
At this moment, Xiao Yong was a little confused, and when he went to find Master Zhang, he still understood, why was this Ye Fengtian in Huadianfang? But he's obviously not there, right?
However, time did not allow the two to explain more, and the people outside were completely impatient. While scolding and greeting the eighteenth generation of Ruoshui's ancestors, he began to beat Gao Dazhuang and Bai Sulian mercilessly under his hands and feet.
Listening to the muffled snort that kept coming from outside, Ruoshui couldn't bear it anymore, held Xiao Yong's hand tightly, and then completely let go of his hand and moved out the entire cash box hidden under the counter.
"It's all here~"
Ruoshui pretended to be relaxed.
"You move the box out."
The leader squinted his eyes slightly and said cautiously.
