Chapter 52 • Guan Qiu'er's karma
The night in Chu County is still relatively cool, and there are no shops still open in the county seat as soon as it gets night, and even the place of smoke and willow is closed, which is of course related to the sharp decline in the population of Chu County.
According to Liu, Chu County, under the administration of the previous county commander, was also very lively at night, and the hustle and bustle of the bright lights lasted until after midnight, and even some shops were open all night.
At that time, there was a high-end restaurant in the county town that was open all day, and it was also a famous place for smoke and willows around Chu County, and even those people in the county town had to run over, but now they are all closed, saying that the owner of the restaurant suddenly died, but the concubine of the owner later became the seventh aunt of Chu Shouren, and it turned out to be a well-known Oiran.
The husband had already begun to call for a change, and suddenly a black shadow burst out of the open window in the room where Jin Hong lived, so fast that it was almost impossible to distinguish with the naked eye, and in a few jumps it fell from the position of the inn to the top of the three-story tower.
Aside from his swaying figure, it didn't seem to bring any harm to the night.
Jin Hong, who fell on the roof, did not carry Jiwu, because he had a feeling that the thing inside should be able to sense Jiwu, so Jinhong lightly climbed over the railing outside the third floor, which was not difficult for him who was proficient in body techniques.
Looking out of the window, there was no palm lamp in the room, and nothing could be seen in the dark, so Jinhong gently leaned against the wall like this, quietly using his spiritual sense to feel the breath inside, the strange breath.
Jinhong's spiritual sense is like an ant looking for food, bumping into the room on the third floor, but he didn't find the source of the breath, so Jinhong stretched his spiritual sense and spread to the second layer, down the stairs, the breath became stronger and stronger, just when Jinhong's spiritual sense wanted to start searching for the second layer, a rather sudden and very powerful extremely martial aura was like an avalanche that drove Jinhong's spiritual sense out.
The rapid retreat of spiritual consciousness brought Jinhong a violent fluctuation in his heart, and with a sweetness in his mouth, Jinhong, who was not good at secret, hurriedly stabilized his mind and turned around and jumped into the distance.
At the moment when Jinhong's figure had just disappeared into the night, another graceful-looking shadow appeared at the top of the three-story tower, only to see this figure looking left and right, eagerly looking for something, waiting for a while and seemingly fruitless, and then snorted lightly, and gradually disappeared into the night in place.
Sensing that the person at the top of the tower had retreated, Jin Hong, who was sitting in a hidden corner, breathed a sigh of relief, secretly blaming himself for being careless, and being caught off guard by surprise.
Originally, Jin Hong just thought that the thing that exuded a special aura was an item, but he didn't expect it to be a person, and according to the situation just now, that person's extreme martial arts cultivation is quite strong, and Jin Hong doesn't know how strong it is, but at least it is much stronger than Kelie, Li Siniang and others.
So when Jin Hong left, he didn't choose to run directly to the inn, but went in the opposite direction, he was afraid that if his breath was exposed, he would not have any worries when he fought.
Is it a master of the hidden world? No, didn't Mr. Kong say before that there is no real extreme martial arts master outside the Hidden Cloud Snow Region.
But recalling the look on the old man's face when he spoke at that time, it seemed that before he said this, he hesitated, yes! It was indeed a moment of hesitation.
"This old man is endless, in order to let me buy you a roast goose, and lie to me!"
However, there is such an extremely martial arts master in this small Chu County, which has aroused the fighting spirit in Jinhong's heart, and it is rare to meet someone who can fight, of course he will not let it go.
After jumping onto the roof and making sure that no one was there, he dodged a few more times and went back to his room.
……
In a private house in the east of Chu County, a man in pajamas sat at the table of eight immortals in the room, with some fruits on the table, the man picked up an apple and nibbled on it, and Guan Qiu'er, who was neatly dressed, was standing aside and promised to accept it.
There was only one candle lit on the table in the room, so the light was not very bright, and there was a person lying on the kang behind Guan Qiu'er, to be precise, a woman, wrapped in a quilt, with her back to the two, as if she was asleep, or she could be pretending to sleep, but her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
"What do you say? Two beautiful women came to the county town today? And then Liu Daozi, that guy won't let you report? “
"Back to Young Master Chu, exactly! The slave said that he would report the matter to the young master immediately, but he was stopped by Liu Daozi without saying anything, and he also beat the minion, you see that this face is still swollen like a bun, and the front front teeth were also knocked out by him, and his speech is leaking. "The person who was called Young Master Chu by Guan Qiu'er was Chu Ruqin, the son of Chu Shouren.
After Guan Qiu'er was beaten by Liu Daozi during the day today, he had been holding a grudge, and he immediately made up his mind to report this matter to Chu Ruqin, so after getting off the duty shift, he lied that he was going to the pharmacy to see the face injured by Liu Daozi, and then ran directly to the county office.
It just so happened that Chu Ruqin was in a panic at home, and as soon as Guan Qiu'er said this, he immediately said that he wanted to make Liu Daozi look good, but when he was halfway there, Chu Ruqin changed his attention, and said that it was late and he didn't have dinner, so he was going to Guan Qiu'er's house for dinner.
Guan Qiu'er "chuckled" in her heart, and a bad premonition hit her heart, but looking at the tall guards who were following Chu Ruqin in front of her, she didn't dare to disobey, so she bought some good wine and food and led Chu Ruqin back to her home.
Sure enough, as Guan Qiu'er thought in his heart, Chu Ruqin had not taken his eyes off his mother-in-law since he entered the courtyard, Guan Qiu'er was secretly frightened, and wanted to send his own lady away, so he said to the busy lady:
"When I came back just now, I didn't bring enough money, so I didn't buy much wine, you go buy some more, and do you still have the pickled garlic from my father-in-law's house, you go get some more."
The lady of the Guan family looked at him with some doubts, and secretly said Don't you don't like to eat that pickled garlic, last time I took some back, you just ate one and didn't eat it, and her mother's house is in the west of the city, and it will take an hour to talk about it this time.
As soon as he opened his mouth to ask, he saw Guan Qiu'er secretly winking at him, and then looked at the eyes of the person who was dressed as a son's brother looking at him, and suddenly panicked, took some copper coins casually, and walked out.
"Eh..."A very flirtatious tone came from Chu Ruqin's mouth, and the two big men standing at the door at the same time moved their bodies towards the door, blocking Guan Qiu'er's way.
"The lady of the Guan family is so rude, there are distinguished guests coming to the door, so there is a reason to leave home."
Seeing this, Guan Qiu'er hurriedly approached Chu Ruqin's side with a flattering face and said: "Childe misunderstood, it's just that the villain bought a little less wine and food, so he asked my lady to buy some more, if you offend, I hope that Childe will have a lot of spare me and my wife." “
Chu Ruqin didn't eat this, and said a little gloomily: "It's enough to have these, it's a bit abrupt for this son to come to visit rashly, how dare you let Brother Guan break the bill more." “
Chu Ruqin paused, and looked at Guan Qiu'er's reaction with both eyes, "Recently, there have been a few related households in the ya, and they want to find an errand in the county, but the county is full, so my father asked me to find a way to free up a few, and I have a headache when I think about it, Brother Guan has been on an errand in the yali for several years, and I wanted to consult Brother Guan today, but now it seems that it is over." “
As he spoke, he walked towards the door, Guan Qiu'er couldn't hear the meaning of Chu Ruqin's words, if he was allowed to leave like this, it would be a trivial matter if his job was gone, mainly because he was still resentful by Chu Ruqin, and he was not sure what would happen in the future, and it was possible to lose his head, as he was closer to Chu Ruqin, it was not that he had never seen it.
So he hurriedly stepped forward to confess, so he almost knelt down and kowtowed, and then invited Chu Ruqin back to the house.
Chu Ruqin drank wine with Guan Qiu'er with a smile on his face, and boasted nonsense, which made Guan Qiu'er a little fluttery.
The two of them were almost full of wine and food, and the lady of the Guan family packed up the rest of the wine and food, came in with two cups of tea, and then stood aside like that, looking a little restrained.
Chu Ruqin moved his gaze to the Guan family lady again, and the heat in his eyes was even better than before, and he didn't name him, and said directly: "This son wants to say two words alone with the housekeeper's wife, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
Guan Qiu'er sighed in her heart, "It's still here." Instinctively wanted to refuse Chu Ruqin, but when the words came to his mouth, he was forced back by Chu Ruqin's eyes, the clenched fists under the table, and his nails were about to be cut into the flesh, he really wanted to punch Chu Ruqin in the face now, and let him get out, just like Liu Dao beating himself during the day.
But he didn't dare!
"Brother Guan?" Chu Ruqin's tone became gloomy.
"Xianggong!" Guan Qiu'er didn't look at her own lady, nor did she look at Chu Ruqin, she just lowered her head and hesitated, and then shook off the hand of the lady who was holding his sleeve, walked out quickly, and then closed the door with a "clang".
The lady of the Guan family hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to escape from the door, but just when her hand touched the door bolt, there was a "click" outside, which was the sound of locking, someone locked the door from the outside, and only he had the key to the public relations ball outside.
Chu Ruqin chuckled, and then slowly walked towards the lady of the Guan family.
Listening to the whimpering and wheezing in the house, Guan Qiu'er, who was guarding outside the house, leaned on the door in despair, and somehow recalled the words cursing Liu Daozi during the day in his mind: "Yes! I'm just a dog of Chu Gongzi, that's better than you, a coward who gave his own wife to others for waste, you're not a man! ”
Now he regrets saying these words a little, the so-called reincarnation of heaven, karma, is it that if he didn't say these words, the current thing would not have happened.
Thinking of this, Guan Qiu'er actually cried.
I don't know how long it took, after the clouds and rain stopped, Chu Ruqin inside knocked on the door, and the person who showed surprise opened the door, Guan Qiu'er didn't seem to hear it, and there was no reaction, until Chu Ruqin's knock turned into smashing the door, Guan Qiu'er stood up tremblingly and wanted to open the lock.
At this time, Chu Ruqin's family had already stepped forward, snatched the key from Guan Qiu'er's hand, and opened the lock.
Guan Qiu'er hurriedly ran into the house, only to see Chu Ruqin sitting at the table with a golden knife, holding an apple in his hand and gnawing on it, while the Guan family lady wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and turned her back to everyone.
So there is the picture that everyone saw at the beginning.
After listening to Guan Qiu'er's report, in fact, he didn't care at all about Liu Daozi's beating of Guan Qiu'er, all he cared about was the two beautiful women described in Guan Qiu'er's mouth.
Chu Ruqin Yin smiled, had a plan in his heart, put on his coat and walked to the door, Guan Qiu'er hurriedly followed, and pretended to be smiling from beginning to end, but this smile was uglier than crying.
"Oh, yes!" Chu Ruqin took a piece of silver from the family, handed it to Guan Qiu'er and said: "Your lady is good, Brother Guan is really blessed, this money is used to buy her some rouge gouache, and then pull some fine cloth to make some new clothes, women have to rely on support!"
Guan Qiu'er looked at Chu Ruqin who was far away, and wanted to smash the silver in his hand on his head, but he didn't dare, and he was a little reluctant, so he took it in his hand and checked it, which was five taels, which was his year's money.
