Chapter Fifty-Six: It's All Gluttony
Chapter 56 is all the fault of gluttony
"Do me a favor."
Yu Shu looked at the masked thief's back with seven or eight small blood holes, and felt a lot of pain for him, and after a short hesitation, he stepped forward, but before his hand touched his back, he heard a low shout at the door:
"What are you doing?"
As soon as Yu Xiaoxiu entered the door, he saw that the thief had a bare back in front of his sister, and he was immediately angry, and he didn't see the injuries on the other party's body clearly, so he put down the basin, stepped forward and dragged Yu Shu away and pulled him behind him, staring at him with burning eyes, and said angrily:
"Stinky rascal, put on your clothes"
The masked thief seemed to be stunned, and he didn't know the situation clearly, Yu Shu helped the corner of his forehead, pressed Yu Xiaoxiu's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Xiaoxiu, he has an injury on his back, and he wants me to help with medicine, don't think about it." ”
Yu Xiaoxiu said angrily: "Then he can't take off his clothes in front of you, you are a girl's family, what kind of body does he become like this?"
The masked thief's shoulders moved, looked at Yu Shu, who was wearing a short robe, and his eyes were full of surprise under the light, and he met Yu Shu's surprisingly calm eyes, his eyes shrank, and he hurriedly picked up the shirt on the bench, blocked it, and lowered his head and said in embarrassment:
"Offended, I don't know you're a girl."
Yu Shu raised his eyebrows, this thief is quite polite.
"It's out of the way," she turned to Yu Xiaoxiu and said, "You go and bring the water, I'll help him pull out the sharp weapon behind his back." ”
Yu Xiaoxiu hurriedly said: "How can this work, I'll get it, you can't look at it when you turn it back." ”
As he spoke, he pushed her, stepped forward to check the back of the masked thief, and when he saw the bloody wound on his back, he took two steps back in fright, his face was a little pale, he was young after all, he had never seen blood, and no matter how bold he was, he was still a child.
Yu Shu stretched out his hand to support him, leaned into his ear, and whispered: "I'll come, hurry up and get him to let him go, otherwise we will be broken when someone searches for him, you are obedient, go and bring the water, and then get a clean hand towel, I will be angry if I don't obey again." ”
Yu Xiaoxiu hesitated for a moment, glared at the masked thief, and went to bring water.
Yu Shu stepped forward to touch the man's back, but the other party dodged, Yu Shu's hand fell into the air, and secretly sneered, this thief stole and broke into the courtyard in the middle of the night and held them hostage, and now he is embarrassed to do anything.
Thinking about it, he stretched out his hand, pressed it his shoulder, and said unhappily, "Don't move." ”
Yu Shu took the handkerchief handed by Yu Xiaoxiu, carefully wiped off the blood stains on his back, exposed the wound, pinched the edge of the hidden weapon with the handkerchief, pulled it out with a "swish", felt the shoulders under his hand vibrate, hooked the corners of his mouth with bad intentions, threw the bloody hidden weapon on the table, and was not in a hurry to take the medicine, and then "swished" pulled out several other triangular patches, without leaving his hand, and did not even give him a chance to breathe.
Finally, he sprinkled the powder on him, plugged the leaks, wrapped the wounds with the remaining strips of cloth, and took care of them, and when the masked thief put on his black shirt again, it was already white outside.
Yu Shu went outside and poured a basin of blood and water under the corner, looked outside the courtyard for a while, re-punched a basin of water into the house, handed him a wet hand towel, and came back to the thief:
"You can go through the back door while no one is searching here, and when it gets dawn, you will not be able to escape."
The masked thief wiped the sweat from his neck, washed his hands again, closed his eyes and took a breath, and said to Yu Shu:
"Trouble the girl to lead the way and send me out."
Compared to the coercion he had in the little garden, his mouth was now gentle and pleading.
Yu Shu held down Yu Xiaoxiu, who was about to protest, and said "Okay" in a low voice.
He also told Yu Xiaoxiu: "I'll send him out, you quickly clean up the house, and don't show him anything when Aunt Liu wakes up." ”
"Sister, I'll give it away, you're in the house."
"Don't mess around," Yu Shu still didn't worry about this thief, how could he let Yu Xiaoxiu follow, and murdered him twice, whether he wanted to or not, he led the masked thief away.
The main house compound
Mrs. Ji was wearing a coat and fluffy bun, sitting in the hall, her face was pale, and the second lady was standing beside her considerately serving tea and water to comfort the old man.
Ji Xiaohan, the boss of the Ji family, and Ji Xiaochun, the old 2, are arguing:
"Big brother, how did you arrange the nursing home, so that the thieves could break into your mother's bedroom, if it weren't for the mechanism that my father asked Daoist Qing Zheng to arrange in the house a few years ago, what would it be." Ji Xiaochun was full of complaints.
"If it weren't for the fact that you lent twenty people to the Liu Mansion before, where would there be a vacancy in the inner courtyard." Ji Xiaohan breathed.
Ji Xiaochun choked and said unconvinced: "It's not right for the eldest brother to say this, Star Swirl is in the capital, and the Xue family wants to take care of it, how can I not borrow it when the Liu family opens his mouth." ”
Old Madam Ji listened to their quarrel, her brows tightened, and she interrupted:
"Okay, you two are not allowed to quarrel anymore, tonight this thief is not greedy for gold and silver, I am afraid that he came to the treasury behind the main house, this person is so familiar with the inner courtyard, I am afraid that there is an internal response at home, no matter what, we must catch the person, and I can't let him escape."
As soon as the two brothers heard the word "Tibetan Library", they all cheered up and sat up straight and obeyed.
"Mother, don't worry, the third brother has sent the escort to search the garden, this person has been hit by so many hidden weapons, he must not be able to run far." Ji Xiaohan said.
Mrs. Ji said to Lao 2 uneasily: "Xiaochun, you send someone to the government to find your sister-in-law, if the person runs away, you will ask him to post a list in the city." ”
"Yes, mother, son, I'll go."
The second lady stroked Mrs. Ji's shoulder and persuaded gently: "Mother, leave these things to the eldest brother and they will do it, I will help you go in and rest." ”
Mrs. Ji was old and really couldn't stand it, and she was relieved of her sons, so she followed her words and went into the house to make up for sleep.
Yu Shu sent the man out, and walked along the root of the wall on the road, she didn't say a word, but the other party had the leisure to speak:
"Why did the girl help me?"
Yu Shu rolled his eyes secretly: Which one helped you, do you want to be so self-indulgent, I'm afraid that I will be affected by you, I am unlucky, I don't care if I am in a commotion, otherwise you try it on the side of the dead road, see if I will take a second look.
Of course, Yu Shu would not tell these truths, so she chose to remain silent.
The masked man was bored, touched the mask, and took the initiative to find words:
"Why are you fishing there in the middle of the night?"
"I'm hungry."
"Huh?"
Yu Shu thought about the fish she caught less, and she was resentful in her heart, and it happened that her hungry "grunt" screamed twice, and she could hear it before and after the sound, and she couldn't help laughing at herself:
"I can't afford to eat meat, so I have to steal fish to eat."
After a moment of silence behind him, he sighed: "That eight-treasure fragrant carp is the treasure of the Ji family, and it is difficult to find one, if someone finds out that you steal it, you catch it privately, they will not spare you if they catch it." ”
Eight treasure fragrant carp? It turns out that she is still famous for catching this fish, no wonder it is so fragrant and delicious, Yu Shu thought to himself, he didn't answer his words, and he didn't squeak again.
The two walked through the path one after the other, which was the back door, Yu Shu sent the person here, stopped at the door, and watched him go out, the masked thief stood on the deserted alley outside, and raised his hand to her to thank her:
"Thank you, girl."
In response to him, there was a "bang" sound of the door, Yu Shu's eyes disappeared at the door, he looked at the closed door, stunned, dumbfounded, his chest shook, and the wound was moved, and he coughed a few times in pain, only stayed in front of the door for a moment, then turned around and left the alley quickly.
The main house compound at dawn
When the sun rose, Yu Shu was pressed by the two guards and knelt outside the door, looking at the two ants walking on the threshold dejectedly, thinking that this was really the most unlucky morning she had come here, and what she wanted to do most now was to find the bastard thief, point at his nose and scold him for a crow's mouth.
It really made him right, she was indeed caught because of a fish.
Saying that, she sent the man away through the back door, Yu Xiaoxiu changed her clothes and went to school, she fell asleep when she was tired, and halfway through her dream, she was broken into the door and carried out.
The reason was that the nursing home searched the miscellaneous courtyard, and found a bucket with carp in it behind the door of their house, and of course a flat pole, and found some bait in her house on the spot.
The thief who broke into the main house at night was not caught, and she ran away, and she, the fish thief, was escorted to Mrs. Ji by the nursing home to spread fire to the old man.
What to say, blame her for not being greedy enough, if she put the fish back in the pond at that time, there would be no such trouble, fortunately, Yu Xiaoxiu went to school and avoided this encounter, she took this matter alone, and she insisted that it was the first time to steal the fish, even so, it made the old lady who was guarding the food angry enough.
On the hall, Mrs. Ji stretched out her hand and pointed at her, her face was full of anger, and she said sharply to Ji Laosan, who had just rushed over:
"Look, look, this is the bastard thing you recruited into the house, stealing chickens and touching dogs, even my treasure fish dare to catch, such a splashing thing, but spoiling that kind of baby, is that a blessing she can covet, my Xuan'er is reluctant to eat one every time she goes home, how did you teach it, it's angry, it's angry"
She didn't say foul language, but the scolding was ugly, Yu Shu was not happy, but she also knew that she was careless and didn't deal with the fish well.
Ji Xiaogu lowered his head, not daring to refute, but glanced sideways at Yu Shu, his eyes were a little scary.
The second master went to visit Ma County, but he was not in front of him, and the eldest master Ji Xiaohan did not help, and when the old lady scolded enough and gasped, the second lady took the opportunity to persuade him.
"Mother, these two children are just concubines in the yard of the third brother, and they have been kept in the miscellaneous yard, and they are not disciplined by their side, no wonder the third brother, you extinguish the fire and drink tea."
The old lady took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, his voice calmed down, he sighed, and said to Ji Xiaogu with cold eyes:
"I won't ask more, you can see what to do."
Ji Xiaogu bent down and said: "It was the son who lost his education and made his mother angry, so he drove people out of the country and asked his mother to calm her anger." ”
Yu Shu raised his head violently, looked at the old woman, and then looked at Ji Xiaogu who was talking, and confirmed that they were not scaring her, and his face changed slightly.
Isn't it, it's going to knock her out of the house, is it that serious? Really drive her out of the city, where will she go up and sleep on the street for a while?
Mrs. Ji put down the teacup, closed her eyes and said:
"Thirty lashes, blast out."
