Chapter Ninety-Five: Catching the Thief
The moon was still shining, but out of nowhere a cloud floated to cover the waning moon, the lights and candles in the room flickered twice and then reappeared brightly, and the wind suddenly rose outside the window, and the wind whimpered, intermittently, as if mocking the young men and women in the room who did not understand the amorous feelings.
Zhao Yan drank the decanting soup and was about to raise his sleeve to wipe the soup stains on his lips, but Li Yun stepped forward with a smile and opened Zhao Yan's hand, took off the towel from his waist and carefully wiped it on Zhao Yan's lips.
Zhao Yan half-squinted his eyes and looked at the pretty face close at hand, starting from the slender willow eyebrows, the long and distinct eyelashes below, and a pair of crescent eyes that seemed to be talking, straightened the cherry mouth under Qiong's nose and gently sipped it, and there seemed to be a faint layer of fat powder on the lips, which made this cherry mouth look extraordinarily attractive, and then looked to both sides, the cheeks seemed to be rubbed with a thin layer of pale red gouache, on the whole, this small face was extremely delicate and lovely.
Heavy makeup is always appropriate, Zhao Yan felt that his mouth was a little dry, and he couldn't help but look away and asked, "Is there any soup?" I'm thirsty. ”
Li Yun didn't notice anything, and replied when he heard the words: "There is still a kitchen, I'll go and serve it to you." ”
Looking at the slender back of the departing lady, Zhao Yan couldn't help but secretly curse the little goblin, if he hadn't drunk some wine today, he would never have stopped with a dry mouth.
But what can I do? Zhao Yan thought in confusion, she is still a minor, just think about it yourself, once she really does something, then ...... That...... That doesn't seem to be anything, she is her own righteous child daughter-in-law, in this era of fifteen or sixteen years old marriage abounds, what kind of archway do you set up for yourself?
'Bang', a crisp slap sounded in the room, Zhao Yan rubbed his cheeks with a bitter face, why did he embarrass himself?
"Ah......" Zhao Yan was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle in his heart, when a scream suddenly came from outside, and the voice was Li Yun.
Zhao Yan was a little slow to react after drinking, and when he ran out of the house, he heard another roar from the direction of the kitchen: "Ahhhh ”
With this roar, a thin black shadow stepped on the roof of the house, and ran quickly towards the backyard, and a moment later came to the top of Zhao Yan's head.
Zhao Yan didn't think about it, and casually threw out the rouge box that he was about to give to Li Yun in his arms, only to hear the sound of 'oops', the black shadow stumbled under his feet, and fell off the room with a thud.
"Senior brother, what a secret weapon." A thunderous voice sounded, Wang Lin's tall figure came out of nowhere, he gave Zhao Yan a thumbs up, and then lifted the wailing thin man on the ground with one hand, and clenched his fist with the other hand, and hammered it on the man's face with the sound of wind and thunder.
......A mouthful of blood mixed with four or five teeth spurted out of the thin man's mouth, seeing that Wang Lin was about to fight, this person was suddenly stunned, and waved his hand again and again: "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life, you send me to the official, don't fight again, if you beat me again, I will die." ”
Zhao Yan stopped Wang Lin, and then asked Li Er, who was the first to rush to hear the sound, to find a rope to tie up the thief and put it in the front yard first, and he himself hurried to the kitchen, and walked around the kitchen before he saw Li Yun hiding in the middle of the house.
Seeing Zhao Yan's figure, Li Yun wiped his tears and said aggrievedly: "A person suddenly jumped off the roof and kicked over the decanting soup that people served you, which scared people to death." ”
"Okay, the person has been caught, you are not injured, are you?" Zhao Yan took the little hand handed over by Li Yun, and pulled it up with a strong arm.
Li Yun wiped the last few tears from the corners of his eyes with a towel and smiled: "I'm fine, it's just that the sobering soup is gone, and they will boil another pot for you later." ”
Zhao Yan was angry and moved, this stupid girl was frightened just now and almost lost her life, but now she is still thinking about making soup for herself.
Grabbing Li Yun's little hand, Zhao Yan said murderously: "Go, follow me to see that thief, he actually stole something and stole to our house, it's really bold." ”
Li Yun felt the heat in Zhao Yan's palm, his heart was slightly sweet, but he said: "People were just taken aback, and the thief didn't touch me." ”
After such a fuss, even the two neighbors next door to the left and right were alarmed, and when Zhao Yan and Li Yun felt the front yard, they saw that the courtyard was crowded with people on the third floor and the outer three floors, Wang Lin's stupid big man was boasting triumphantly: "I came to find my senior brother, Lao Zhou just opened the door for me, I saw a figure lying on the roof of the kitchen, who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night will wander around on the roof, this must be a thief." My senior brother said that every time there is a big event...... I had the spirit, I asked Lao Zhou to hurry up and call my master and brother, I quietly touched the edge of the kitchen and wanted to go to the room to catch him, who knew that his eyes were not bad, he wanted to jump into the yard to escape when he saw me, how could I let him run, and also jumped down from the house, who knew that this thief was too cunning, and when he saw that I also jumped down, he jumped up again, and ran directly on the roof, fortunately, my senior brother had a unique secret weapon, and he beat this thief down at once......"
'Ahem', what kind of secret weapon is unparalleled, Zhao Yan's face was a little feverish, he interrupted Wang Lin's words and asked, "You also know that this is the middle of the night, why can't you come to me tomorrow?" I have to come in the middle of the night. ”
Wang Lin smiled, and suddenly said with some twist: "I accidentally dropped one of my father's favorite porcelain, and I was afraid that he would beat me, so I came to find the master and senior brother to spend the night." ”
Zhao Yan was speechless, so he ignored him anymore, but looked at the thin man who was tied up in the middle of the crowd and asked, "Name, where is home?" What do you want to do when you come to my house? ”
The thin man first fell off the house, and was punched by Wang Lin, his face was swollen at the moment, and his mouth was crooked...... I just want to find a random family to borrow something to eat first. Although the villain is excusable, he did something wrong, and he didn't dare to ask Xiao Langjun and the eldest brothers to let the villain go, but only asked everyone to send the villain to the government, and it should be what it should be. ”
As he spoke, the man's eyes turned red, and a few tears flowed down his swollen cheeks.
This man said 'true love', including the neighbors on the left and right, most of the people believed it, they looked at each other a few times and didn't speak, just looked at the expression obviously very sympathetic to this man, Zhao Yan saw it in his eyes, sighed in his heart, but the family is his own cheap dad in charge, how can he give him enough face in front of everyone, so he asked Zhao Xin: "Father, what do you think this thief should do?" ”
Zhao Xin hesitated for a moment, and then looked at his neighbor before saying: "This person is also quite pitiful, if he is not desperate, he will not do this shameful thing, Xiaolang, why don't we give him something to eat and let him go." ”
The two neighbors also said: "Yes, although this person has done something wrong, he is also excusable, and letting him go can be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue." ”
As soon as Zhao Xin heard the words of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, he immediately made up his mind, and while he instructed Li Er to loosen the man's bonds, he said to Zhao Yan: "Xiaolang, it just so happens that tomorrow you are going to worship your mother, let this person go, and give him a few taels of silver, which can be regarded as a good deed, and your mother may be able to receive the aftermath of this matter underground." ”
"I can't put it." Zhao Yan stopped Li Er, then glanced around and said, "Can you hear where this thief's accent is?" ”
The housekeeper Wang An made his debut at this time: "I know, I once followed my father and Master Wang to Wen County, Henan Province, and this person's accent is similar to Wen County's accent. ”
Zhao Yan was determined in his heart, and said with a smile: "Even if this person's accent is not from Wen County, he must be a political envoy from Henan, Liaodong and Henan are thousands of miles apart, it is impossible to even have the same accent, right?" ”
Wang Lin patted his head, clenched his fists and shouted: "What a thief, if it weren't for my senior brother's shrewdness, my grandfather would have almost been deceived by you, eat my punch." ”
The thin man didn't expect his lie to be seen through at a glance, and seeing that Wang Lin was going to beat him again, he hurriedly screamed: "It's the villain who didn't make it clear, the villain's ancestral home is Liaodong, and he later grew up doing business in Henan with his parents, so the accent is Henan accent, don't fight the hero." ”
Hehe, the matter is still quibbling so far, Zhao Yan waved Wang Lin away, bent down and pointed to the thin man's face and ears, and said, "Don't say anything else, you wait and look at his face and ears." The ears and ears are black, the face is yellow and blue, the tears have a thin black atmosphere, the whites of the eyes are yellow and red, and the lips are blue and black, I remember that the famous doctor in the old state town Dr. Qian once said that this kind of physiognomy is caused by excessive indulgence, thinking of the recent major events that have caused panic inside and outside the state city, what can you think of? ”
Everyone around looked at each other, and it was only after a while that someone said: "Thousands of miles alone? ”
Li Er reacted the fastest, and he said to the housekeeper Wang An and the porter Lao Zhou: "You are optimistic about him, I will go to the government to report to the official." With that, he trotted away from the crowd.
Wang Wenyong, who was traveling alone for thousands of miles, was terrified after being told by Zhao Yan to break the line of hiding, but he still shouted with luck: "What is a thousand miles alone, what the villain said is true, the villain just wants to borrow something to eat, it's not a thousand miles alone, wronged." ”
Zhao Yan glanced at him in disgust, and then said to everyone: "If he is really a flower thief, he must have drugs and other items on his body, and I will know if I search for it." ”
