Chapter Thirty-Seven: Don't Let the Thief Live
"Humph!"
Shunhua held back his anger and glared at the four of them.
"Say! Where did you sell her? ”
Shunhua threw out the four bamboo chopsticks in his hand, hit the ears of the four people, and almost stuck them in the earlobes.
The bandits were so frightened that they cried out: "Fool! What a fool! ”
"Who are you scolding?" Shun Hua's eyes widened, and he raised his bamboo chopsticks to launch another round of attacks.
"No, no, no," they quickly shook their heads, "Guest! Official! Spare your life! There was a fool in Qujia Village who wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, and her mother spent money to buy one for her. ”
"Where's their house?" Fu Mujin hurriedly asked.
"Just, less than five miles from the bazaar."
Shunhua paused, this bandit actually peed his pants and shed all over the ground.
"Brother Yan, what are you going to do now?" Fu Mujin put his index finger to his nose and looked at the urine stall on the ground.
"Report to the officer! Of course, it's the official! This group of brutes kills people and sells goods, rappers and plunder, and traffics in human beings! Wait for the execution! ”
After that, Shunhua ran to get a pen and paper in small steps and began to write hard.
"Do you want to write to the county magistrate? He is not on the same path as us, will he secretly use means to prevent us from solving the case? Fu Mujin analyzed.
"No, of course, it's written to the Qingtian Lord of Luoshui City! I don't know, is his cell full? ”
Full or not full?
Fu Mujin tilted his head, not understanding Shunhua's words.
Could it be that Luoshui City's catch thieves is more diligent? The cell is already full?
"That's it!" Shunhua picked up the letter and blew the ink that had not dried on it. "But what if you don't have pigeons?"
"Don't be afraid, use theirs." After that, Fu Muhibiscus took out a cage, and the carrier pigeons in the cage were very lively.
"Brother Fu is still smart!" Shunhua is very satisfied.
The bandits want to cry without tears, how can they catch the thief, and they use the thief's carrier pigeon to report to the government, and let the thief not live.

On the second day, when the officials of Falling Water City arrived, the people who rushed to the market had already surrounded the black shop, scolding and laughing constantly.
"Shame on you!"
"Lose your conscience! Dead shemales! ”
Finally someone couldn't help but throw something in their faces.
"Get out of the way! The official handles the case! ”
The officials shouted, and the crowd immediately gave way and put down the rotten vegetable roots in their hands.
When they looked up, all the officials were stunned, this 'Yan Hua' really gave them a big gift from the Yamen of Luoshui City.
Early in the morning, let them see such a spicy-eyed, heavy-flavored thing.
These five bandits, who are not men and women, are not only naked, but also have big characters written on Bai Huahua's belly, and the last one is still humming and singing.
Huang Zongzhe, the little brother of the servant, looked from left to right, and read word by word: "Pig, dog, no, such as..."
Wu Zhutou continued, "Phew! ”
"This Brother Yan is still as ruthless as ever! One village of people is still in prison, and now five more have been sent in. Brother Zongzhe crossed his hands on his waist and sighed.
Wu Zhutou nodded, "Don't offend, don't offend." ”
"However, thanks to the note he left before leaving, we in Luoshui City were able to find the cause of the strange disease and stop the spread of the plague in Luoshui City. I heard that the plaque given by the imperial court will be delivered in the second half of the month. ”
"Are you waiting for a plaque? You are waiting for a reward. Wu Zhutou raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly.
Brother Zongzhe put his arm around Wu Zhutou and said with a smile: "Don't know brother so well, I'm afraid my brother can't help but like you." ”
"Don't give me this! These five people are wanted, how are the bounties going to be given to Brother Yan? Wu Zhutou reminded impartially and impartially.
"Give! Mountains and rivers meet, and one day, we will definitely meet in the vast sea of people. So, leave it to me for safekeeping! ”
"Humph!" Wu Zhutou glanced at him with contempt and led the Fat Worm Five Tyrants back to the yamen.
*
It was supposed to be a quiet and comfortable afternoon, but there were frequent beatings and scolding in a certain courtyard, and the crying of the beaten woman was miserable, which was very worrying.
"Xianggong, Xianggong, please don't fight! The slave family is wrong, the slave family is wrong! ”
Fu Mujian, wearing a cloth dress, fell to the ground, crying.
Yan Shunhua raised a fist-thick wooden stick and vigorously knocked on the wooden table, "You are still hiding!" How dare you hide! It's because I marry such an unfortunate thing as you that I will cause the Sprinkle family to always lose money! If I don't beat you today, it will be difficult to dispel the unhappiness in my family's heart! ”
"Help! Help me! ”
Before the words were finished, Yan Shunhua chased after Fu Muhibiscus, waited for him to open the door, and deliberately let the neighbors who peeked nearby see the scene where Yan Shunhua forcibly pulled Fu Muhibiscus back to the house with scars on his face.
Bloody palm prints were left on the threshold, and the door was closed.
The scene was completed in one go, and the tense atmosphere filled the entire small village.
Shunhua let out a long breath and sat down on a wooden stool, rubbing his sore wrists.
"It's finally over, Fu... Lady, in fact, we suddenly moved to the neighborhood, which is suspicious enough, and now, we still spend a lot of time to play such a play, and others can't prevent us from doing it. ”
Fu Mujin got up from the ground and patiently explained: "If we take the initiative to approach, of course not, but everyone will be curious, and soon, they will take the initiative to approach us." ”
"I hope so."
"However, the words you just said are from which troupe's play, why does it sound so familiar?" Fu Mujian's face was full of doubts.
"Familiar." Shun Hua said triumphantly, "Does the tone of this Xianggong look like Lu Zhishen?" ”
"......" Fu Muhibiscus was stunned, "It turns out to be the Water Margin!" ”
"Hahahaha, we really have a talent for acting, if one day, we can't get mixed up, we two couples find a troupe to build a few plays, how about a gangster?"
We're a couple...
Two couples...
Husband and wife...
Fu Mujin turned around and didn't reply, for some reason, the roots of his ears were a little red.
"Huh? Huh? You haven't said okay yet? Wife. Shunhua asked behind him.
I saw that Fu Gongzi said shyly: "It's time to cook." ”
Shunhua really thought his reaction was so cute, and couldn't help but follow and continue to tease him.
"I didn't expect that my 'lady' is so virtuous and can cook, she is really a show of wisdom, virtuous and virtuous..."
She looked at the pot of raw rice to be cooked, and couldn't help asking, "Lady, do you cook rice without washing rice?" Don't you put water either? ”
Fu Gongzi asked cutely: "Do you need to put water in boiling rice?" Isn't that porridge? Just put it on the pot and boil it, right? ”
"......" Shunhua grabbed his wrist with a smile and held down his action of making a fire.
She looked at this good-looking face and said sincerely: "Lady, Xianggong suddenly wants to cook, he likes to cook so much, can you give the opportunity to Xianggong?"
Fu Gongzi was stunned, shook his head and said, "No, cooking will cause people to criticize, and it is easier to make others suspicious." ”
Shunhua's heart was screaming at the moment.
How hard the rice is when it is cooked without water! It seems that Fu Muhibiscus is determined not to let her eat soft rice.
She gripped his hands tightly, and seemed to use all her strength to persuade him.
"No, we're all messing around in the kitchen, and in the end we pretend that you cooked it, right?"
"Hmm...... That's fine. Suddenly, he asked, "You stay in the kitchen too, won't they be suspicious?" ”
"It's okay, Xianggong has a way!"
*
Fu Mujin watched Yan Shunhua cook intently on the side, only to know that cooking rice not only requires washing rice, but also putting water to boil.
"If you put so much water, won't it turn into porridge?" He asked curiously.
"Naturally, raw rice needs to absorb enough water during the cooking process to turn into white flowers, hot white rice. You must always stay in the medicine house and read medical books, so it's not surprising that you don't know. Shunhua closed the lid and began to add fire to the bottom of the stove.
The more Fu Mujin listened, the more she felt that Shunhua's tone was like a woman.
I couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Do you often cook on fair days?" When the lady sees you, she seems to be familiar with every step. ”
"It's not." She replied casually, and suddenly, vigilant. "I have an older sister at home, and I often follow her into the kitchen, and she taught her."
"I see." Fu Mujin nodded plausibly.
The kitchen was already smoking, and Shunhua was sweating profusely.
Has he already begun to doubt?
No, we can't talk about that anymore.
She shook her head, turned around and handed a basket of vegetables to Fu Gongzi, "You can wash vegetables, right?" Help. ”
He was stunned and said happily, "Yes!" I help wash the tea and herbs I pick on weekdays. ”
Well? Washing tea leaves and herbs?
"Then you wash it slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Shunhua took the spatula and turned to look at him squatting in front of the basin to wash vegetables.
For some reason, there was a delusion that this was not bad.
"Ahh It's time. She remembered the little trick she had just thought.
"Uh-oh." Fu Mu Hibiscus nodded innocently.
Shun Hua pretended to be fierce and shouted outside: "I've been cooking a meal for so long, I want to starve to death!" Stinky bitch! ”
Fu Mujin cooperated and shouted: "Xianggong! Please, don't fight, rice, rice, it's almost ready! ”
Hey! Shunhua couldn't help but snicker; "Poofha, lady, you acted really well!"
"Each other, each other." He laughed alongside him and began to wash the cabbage diligently.
*
Just acted in two plays, which provoked the neighbors around to stick their heads out of the window and look around, this young couple who just moved in, just don't show affection, and the husband who loves gambling money also beats his wife.
It's a terrible cry! It's terrifying to hear.
It's really pitiful, but no one dares to rush out directly to see the excitement, for fear of getting into trouble and being beaten for nothing.
I had to close the door and start gossiping.
"It's better for our family to be good and work diligently! It's like that, doesn't work, and gambles! If you lose all your money, you have to rely on your daughter-in-law! What a scumbag! ”
Sister-in-law Qu scolded with a cold face while feeding rice cereal to the child.
This family has always been the sister-in-law Qu's idea, no matter what his wife says, Qu Laohan will nod, and he will only nod and be silent.
Usually he either goes out to fish, or goes home to dry his fishing nets, and I don't see him do anything else.
"Why don't you make a sound? Don't you have anything to say? Sister-in-law Qu shouted impatiently.
"Uh-huh." Qu Laohan nodded, and then went out again.
"What a wreck!"
His wife's voice was in his ears, Qu Laohan was stunned, did not stop, and continued to walk out of the house.
*
The room where the beating and scolding sound came from in front of him, and Qu Laohan suddenly turned around and entered the next room.
In a moment the gray wooden door opened, revealing a wrinkled eye, which rolled to the side, and suddenly the eye smiled.
An old and shrill female voice said excitedly, "Son, you have a new daughter-in-law." ”
