Today's Qingshui Village broke out early in the morning a big news, only fifteen-year-old young village master, last night with his bare hands captured the Yamen wanted for a long time "flying thief Zhang Sanyan", this news came out, the whole Qingshui village was full of praise, and even some storytellers have now made up a "little general vs. flying thief" script.

For a while, Wang Houshao's reputation as the owner of the village was unparalleled for a while, and everyone had to give a thumbs up when they mentioned it: "It's really a tiger father without a dog!" ”

In the back house of the Yamen, Wang Zhizhai held a teacup and said to the Hun family who came out of his son's bedroom:

"Hou'er still refuses to eat?"

His wife glanced at him and said, "You know that Hou'er loves face, you still want to make such a scene, can you not make Hou'er angry?" ”

"Cough cough cough", Wang Zhizhai hurriedly picked up the tea bowl to cover it, but he didn't expect to choke on it accidentally when he drank it.

Seeing this, his wife stepped forward and patted him gently on the back, and it took him a while to recover, so she handed him the meal tray and said, "He has been refusing to eat, and his mother is also anxious, why don't you go in and persuade him?" ”

Wang Zhizhai sighed, stretched out his hand and took the meal tray and walked into his son's bedroom.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that he didn't take off his shoes, his head was in the quilt, his buttocks were exposed, and he was panting there.

"Hou'er, get up and eat!" Poor Wang Zhizhai, a big official who is in charge of thousands of people's lives, has to coax his son to eat in a low voice.

"I don't eat it!" A dull sound came from under the covers.

"Hey, Hou'er, how can you grow up without eating, how can you have the strength to practice martial arts when you are hungry, today's meal has your favorite pig ears, crispy and fragrant, and eat it quickly!"

"I don't eat, I don't eat, I don't eat!" Wang Houyi lifted the quilt, jumped out of bed, and sat on the stool in the center of the room with a puff.

When Wang Zhizhai saw this, he hurriedly followed, and put the food in the rice tray on the table the same, especially a large plate of mellow meat ears.

Wang Hou looked at the dish, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva in his throat, but his eyes suddenly saw the rattan box next to the meal, and immediately said angrily: "I don't eat, and I won't eat if I'm starving!" ”

Wang Zhizhai frowned and said, "Hou'er, are you still complaining about being a father?" ”

Wang Hou snorted and twisted his head to the side.

Wang Zhizhai sighed, stroked his beard and said, "Father is also forced to do so!" You usually cause trouble everywhere in the village, but the people in this village have a bad opinion of you, you will take my place in the future, but you can't have too many negative words, I have to take this opportunity to earn you some good reputation. ”

Listening to his father's explanation to himself, Wang Hou is no longer petty, so he exclaimed angrily: "Dad, when will you not be able to earn a good reputation, why make a fuss about this matter." ”

Wang Zhizhai laughed and said, "What's wrong with this matter? How good it is for my son to fight thieves! ”

"What's good!"

Don't mention it, as soon as he mentioned it, Wang Hou looked angry, walked to the bed, took off his shoes and got into the bed again.

Seeing this, Wang Zhizhai on the side strode over, lifted the quilt and helped him up, and said, "What's wrong, what do you say?" ”

Wang Hou closed his eyes and said: "Do you know this, obviously I was knocked unconscious by a thief with a punch, and then the thief was caught up and captured by the family's guardians, and it happened that the soldiers on patrol at night saw it and woke me up." ”

"Now it's rumored that I've caught the thief, what does it have to do with me?"

"Hahaha......"

Wang Zhizhai couldn't help laughing when he saw his son with his eyes closed and an upright appearance, and when he laughed, Wang Hou felt even more panicked and got into the quilt, and refused to come out again.

Wang Zhizhai didn't pull the quilt away, so he said to the quilt: "Son, let me ask you, are you the young master of this Qingshui Village?" ”

The king in the nest snorted sullenly.

Wang Zhizhai continued: "You don't sleep at home in the middle of the night, but you wander around the street, which is equivalent to patrolling the streets, right?" ”

Wang Hou didn't speak.

Wang Zhizhai rolled his eyes when he saw it, and then said, "Cough, Hou'er, you honestly said that thief was the first to be discovered by you?" ”

Wang Hou lifted the quilt and sat up straight and said excitedly: "Yes, the thief thought I was his accomplice, and greeted me and asked me to leave quickly, so I fell while he was not paying attention." ”

Wang Zhizhai smiled and continued: "It is precisely because you fell on him that the time for him to escape was delayed, otherwise where would the gang of nurses have the opportunity to catch up with the thief, let him escape a long time ago, right!" ”

Wang Hou said excitedly: "Yes, yes! I've been pestering him for a while! ”

Seeing that this trick worked, Wang Zhizhai hit the railroad while it was hot: "It is precisely because you are young that you are not his opponent, if you are as old as him, where can you allow him to escape." ”

"Yes, yes, he's so big, I'm only this small, if I'm as tall as him, I can definitely beat him!"

Wang Zhizhai nodded at him and tempted: "So Hou'er, the first skill of catching thieves should be recorded on your head, so what is said outside is not an exaggeration, but it is a little exaggerated, and it is also deliberately exaggerated by the villagers who like you, so Hou'er, you have to grow up quickly, and when the time comes, you will catch the thief alone, and then you will not borrow outsiders to help." ”

Hearing such encouraging words, Wang Hou jumped out of bed with a kick of his legs, sat at the table and picked up chopsticks and ate the pig ears on the plate. ”

Wang Zhizhai in the back hurriedly said: "It's not a loss, there is a reward for catching a thief!" ”

After eating, Wang Hou took an ingot of ten taels of official silver, and rushed to the camp to look for a dog, but he didn't find anyone after turning around the barracks, and ran to the school to find it.

I had to go home mournful, and I was in a bad mood and had a fight with a little baby wearing earrings, the two sides were of the same age, and they fought each other for thirty rounds, regardless of victory or defeat because lunch was coming, they dispersed with each other, and they went back to their homes on the second day.

Besides, the dog took Tang Xiaoer and Tang Xiaoqi anxiously stood on the Qingshui River pier and looked at the river.

Last night, I received a message from the third steward that his caravan had just finished raising the goods, and it would take at least two days to get to Qingshuizhai, but the pigs mentioned by the dog had already been raised, and they would be transported overnight along the Fujiang River to the Qingshui River, and they would arrive at the Qingshuizhai Wharf at noon, so that the dog could arrange for someone to pick up the goods.

There were also a few small stewards and small businessmen who would raise some more supplies near Qingshui Village, and they were deeply sorry for the delay, and had already written to Zhou Junjian to explain.

The dog doesn't care if he is late or not, as long as he doesn't miss his own business.

Why are dogs in such a hurry?

Because today is the day of the Qingshui Village big market, many villagers in the nearby villages will come to catch the market today, and the people of the village will also arrive today, such a lively day dogs do not want to miss, and the village kills pigs, shaves pigs, divides meat, is responsible for transporting pork, is responsible for selling pork, 200 people have been in place, just waiting for the pork to come.

Qingshuizhai Wharf is the largest wharf in the vicinity, so it is relatively large, consisting of two wooden plank bridges with a width of three meters and a length of 20 meters, which can hold eight boats at a time.

Today is the day of the big market, and everyone does not collect money except for the caravans, so the people who come by boat to catch the market early in the morning crowd the entire wharf.

Seeing that there are more and more people, can the dog not be in a hurry, when the Shangzhai man rowed over with more than 30 fishing boats, the dog's heart is going to die, 30 boats, how many fish must there be, and the people who bought the fish still have money to buy their own pork?

It wasn't until the group of men went ashore that the dog took a breath, it turned out that there were only fish on the largest boat in front of the head, but the next scene made the dog's face like earth, a cabin can actually hold hundreds of catties of fish, and he carried thirty baskets, okay, he has three boats on top of others.

Xue Zhizhai, who saw a group of people surrounding them, entered Qingshui Village with a melancholy face, and the dog's face was even more melancholy than theirs.

"Straight sissy thief!" The dog pointed to the Qingshui River in front of him and scolded fiercely: "The pigs swim faster than them rowing, they haven't come here for a day, and they are slow to die!" ”

It may be that the water dragon king of the Qingshui River heard the dog's cursing, a gust of wind blew, bringing up a piece of river water, and the water splashed the dog's three bodies, just as the dog opened his mouth to scold, Tang Xiaoer in the back grabbed the dog and said: "Look at the dog, there is a cabinet pole in the distance, it seems that the fleet is coming!" ”

The dog stood on tiptoe excitedly to look, but he was too low to see, so he asked Tang Xiaoer to look at it by himself in a hurry.

When the dog climbed onto Tang Xiaoer's back, the fleet was already close to him, and the dog had to jump down again.

From a distance, there are a total of fifteen or sixteen, and just the fishing boats or flat boats driven by the people of Shangzhai are different, these boats are the "pot-bellied cargo ships" that specialize in inland water, that is, the so-called trough boats, the two ends are narrow and the belly is big, one trip can load a lot of goods, look at the top and there are bamboo boards or wooden sheds, when it rains, cover it with a layer of tarpaulin, and the goods in the warehouse will not be wet.

When boating on the river, if there is wind, it will be assisted by the sail, and if there is no wind, it will be operated and propped, and the oars will be paddled on the open water surface of deep waters, and manpower will be hired to pull the fiber in the narrow and blocked river.

When the boat came, the dog was not in a hurry, looking at the water and sighing, the three things in charge of these boats actually made such a big scene, I really admired it.

Seeing that the boat was about to arrive at the dock, the dog sorted out his clothes and prepared to pick up the people.

When the man got on the trestle, the boat happened to come to the front, and the sails of the fleet stopped on the water, which made the dog stunned, and without thinking much about it, he saw a small wooden boat put down in the fleet, and two big men with knives escorted a man in a brocade robe rowed over.

The dog arched his hand and asked, "But the person sent by the third steward?" ”

The people on the boat hugged their fists and replied: "A certain merchant from Longqing Mansion is going to Wenzhou in a hurry, dare to ask where is this place?" ”

The dog was so angry, he was excited for a long time, and it turned out that he was not the one he was waiting for, so he raised his hand and said perfunctorily: "This is Longzhou Qingshui Zhizhai, and you are going to Wenzhou to go further." ”

After saying that, he got off the trestle and returned to the riverbank, and the man didn't care when he saw that the dog didn't care about it, and continued to hug his fists and said: "Dare to ask the little brother if there is a market in the village in front of him?" We have some insufficient fruits, vegetables, rice, flour and water on the ship, and I want to go in and buy some fresh ones! ”

The dog saw that the draft of the hull in the river was half full, and it must have planted a lot of goods, maybe there was also pork, what if he entered the village and found that the difference in price also sold meat?

With a roll of his eyes, he said: "Yes, yes, but I want to remind you that there happens to be a passing military supervisor in this village who said that he wants to raise food and salary for the army, and you can enter without fear of being blackmailed." ”

A handful of copper coins were thrown ashore, and the fleet disappeared in the blink of an eye.

This man is very particular, and he will give a reward before leaving!
