Chapter 37: Humiliation
Xu Chunshu impatiently explained a few short sentences, and the three of them were relieved. However, after pouring a belly of wine, after a night of wind, they were disturbed early in the morning to make up for sleep, and their faces could not see anywhere, all of them were blue and white. However, everyone knows that if this clue is missed, the three-day period will come in an instant, and it is ironclad that the time will not be delivered. Thinking of a few people leading the messenger but wandering outside like this, I can't help but feel worried.
A few turtle slaves who were napping downstairs were a little puzzled when they saw Xu Chunshu and the four of them in disheveled clothes and hurriedly came down from upstairs. You must know that none of the frequent visitors to the Qinglou in the world left before noon, and they rushed or ran errands early in the morning, which of the bitter haha's lives, which one of them came here is not the gold owner? In the eyes of the turtle slave at the head, these people were undoubtedly similar to fools, and he couldn't help but squint again.
But this unlucky man still didn't expect Xu Chunshu to find him first. "Where was the turtle slave who served us last night?" Xu Chunshu grabbed his collar and asked viciously.
A few turtle slaves next to them couldn't help but be dumbfounded, feeling that these liver fires are so strong for this? The anger that these people were still coming out of just now is gone, and they all know that the turtle slave camp is cheap, but in a place like Zuixianglou, if anyone dares to make the guests unhappy, or steal the guests' things, then Cui Niang has only one way to deal with it, broke her hands and legs and threw them out, thinking of this, they couldn't help but shudder, but there was still some schadenfreude in the subconscious, and there was another good show to watch.
"Xu, Lord Xu, the little one just came to change shifts in the morning, I don't know which one didn't serve several adults last night, you, can you let go first, the little one will invite Mrs. to come." The turtle slave who was being dragged finally saw that it was Xu Chunshu, and secretly complained in his heart, only to see him cautiously looking at the face of the man in front of him, and said tremblingly.
Then there was naturally a burst of chickens and dogs, and when Cui Niang came, Xu Chunshu almost turned over all the turtle slaves in Zuixianglou, but he didn't find the person last night, so angry that he stomped his feet.
"Lord Xu, early in the morning, are you copying and inspecting our Zuixiang Building or what?" Cui Niang didn't roll her eyelids, "If you want to say who offended you, I don't have anything to say, I'll peel off his skin and give you wine!" Cui Niang's cruel gaze swept to those people below, and the turtle slaves were suddenly silent, everyone knew that the proprietress did what she said, even if she fed the dogs with their corpses, Shuntianfu would only pretend not to see it. However, you just made a fuss and shocked my guests, how should this be calculated, you should always explain to the pavilion, right, Lord Xu? She then added unhurriedly.
"Cui Niang, you also know that my Xu Chunshu has no wind and no waves, and that turtle slave didn't offend me anything, it's just that he knows what I want to know and wants him to lead the way. It's my fault to make such a big fuss, I can't be empty today, and I will come to apologize another day! Xu Chunshu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Cui Niang glanced at him with a slight disgust, and then turned to the middle-aged man who was standing respectfully beside him, "Old Lu, since Lord Xu has spoken, you brought someone for me, I want to see which little cub made Lord Xu remember it so much!" Lao Lu agreed, and immediately a group of subordinates began to investigate.
In the end, Lao Lu repelled a group of subordinates and walked to Cui Niang's side, with a look of prophecy and stopping. Xu Chunshu secretly said that it was not good, and sure enough, Lao Lu's mouth spit out a very bad news. It turned out that among the musicians and dancers last night, there were some women who were self-assured, among them, Qixia and Luo Yun thought that they had always only served high-ranking officials and nobles, and they had a lot of dissatisfaction with the fact that such a lowly person as Fan Ming could go to Nanfeng Pavilion, but later saw him looking at himself with that kind of intoxicated eyes, and the disgust in his heart was needless to say. By the time Fan Ming withdrew from the South Wind Pavilion, he had already been taught a lesson by the thugs who had been instructed by the two, and finally knocked him unconscious and threw him into the capital.
Knowing such an arrogant behavior of the girl in the building, Cui Niang's face was naturally not good-looking, but in front of Xu Chunshu and others, she still had to maintain her own face. "Lord Xu, in this way, I will let you take you to find it, a big living person, it is impossible to be tossed and lost like this. Don't worry, I'll give you an explanation for today's events. Last night's head-wrapping fee, even if I asked! She made a casual move, and a few thugs who had just beaten a cabbage like frost immediately nodded and came over, "Listen, I won't pursue today's matter for the time being, you take Lord Xu, be sure to find that Fan Ming." If you can't find anyone, hum! There was a cold glint in her eyes, and there was a majesty of her own.
Now, Xu Chunshu didn't want to completely sweep Cui Niang's face, but after thinking about it for a while, he happily arched his hand and said, "Then it's tiring." The three people next to him couldn't help but be a little strange, just looking at Xu Chunshu's angry appearance just now, the liver fire subsided so quickly, and they all muttered in their hearts, of course, some people even maliciously guessed that he was leaving a way back for himself, otherwise he would definitely be beaten out by Zhu Ying next time.
A few thugs accompanied the smiling faces to lead a few people to the place where Fan Ming was thrown down last night, but there was not even a ghost around, not to mention the human figure. Without Cui Niang by his side, how could Xu Chunshu be polite, "Aren't you guaranteed to find someone?" ”
The thug looked at the four masters who were about to make a fortune and their obviously unkind eyes, his legs and stomach couldn't help cramping, and he scolded Qixia and Luo Yun in his heart I don't know how many times, if it weren't for those two women pretending to be gold and jade, how could there be such a drudgery today? He almost knelt down, "Four adults, we did leave people here last night. I think he woke up and walked away. ”
"Okay, you take a few of us to his house, if you can't find anyone again, then you all go back to Zuixiang Building!" Ling Renjie said impatiently.
When Fan Ming returned home with one foot deep and one foot shallow, it was already dawn. He never imagined that what would have been a smooth day would turn out like this. He will never forget the scene when the hideous-looking thug stepped on his face, as well as the heart-wrenching words, "Boy, you don't pee and take pictures, and you don't want to think about your identity, but the toad wants to eat swan meat?" The girl in the building is something you can see, just your life of being poor, no wonder your wife ran away with others! ”
Fan Ming suddenly pushed open the door as if sleepwalking, and the old lady, who was as thin as chopping wood, woke up immediately, only to hear her groping for a while, and then said in a trembling voice: "Ah Ming, is Ah Ming back?" ”
Fan Ming agreed and glanced at his son who was lying on the bed in a daze, knowing that the child was hungry for another night, and the sorrow in his heart could not be held back anymore, this kind of life like a dog, he could no longer live it, it was better to die clean! The thoughts that had been haunting him for a long time finally made Fan Ming make up his mind.
He turned over the broken straw on the bed, and finally found a dozen or so black coppers, and couldn't help but let out a wry smile in his heart, after living for decades, but the family only had such a little property, as a man, probably no one would fail more than him. He carefully took the copper into his arms, turned around and instructed, "Mother, you and Xiaohu are waiting, I'll go buy some food and come back." ”
Holding a few steaming steamed buns, as soon as Fan Ming entered the door, his son Xiaohu got up as soon as he stood, grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth. Fan Ming didn't care about him, and took a steamed bun and carefully fed his wife, until he saw the old lady eat a whole steamed bun, he picked one up and ate it in small bites. He knew that the toxicity of rat poison was about to kick in.
Sure enough, the corner of his son Xiaohu's mouth was the first to overflow with blood, and he was seen clutching his chest in pain, his eyes full of horror. Immediately afterwards, the old lady also seemed to feel something, the dry bark-like face first spasmed, and then became extremely peaceful, the old man was already weak, and the rat poison was so tossed, the first to go west. Fan Ming saw that Xiaohu was still struggling there, so he casually took another steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, "Go ahead, being a full ghost is better than freezing and starving in the world!" He muttered to himself.
