Back at the inn, Qin Niang fetched hot water, first served Li Mao to wash, and then sent him to sit down, knelt on the ground and took off his boots and socks. Li Mao pressed her arm and said, "I'll come by myself." Qin Niang knew his temper, did not insist, took the tea bowl and gargling cups and saucers out, and when she came back, she saw Li Mao sitting barefoot on the edge of the bed in a daze, so she wiped his feet with a wet linen towel that had just been twisted, and asked casually: "When will you leave tomorrow?" ”

Li Mao said: "It's been arranged, I'll leave when the time comes." Qin Niang said: "Have you told Da Lang about this?" Li Mao said: "Say, he let me call the shots." Qin Niang thought about it, and suddenly pursed her lips and smiled: "I advise you not to leave so early, it's not too late to leave in the afternoon." Li Mao was stunned and said, "Why is this? Qin Niang wanted to speak and stopped, but her face turned red first, and she said shyly: "If you don't know, don't ask, sleep." ”

Qin Niang is only fifteen years old this year, she is still a child in Li Mao's eyes, so she has always refused to have sex with her, although Qin Niang is full of questions, but the head of the family does not say that she does not dare to ask, she is a very thoughtful person, Li Mao refuses to have sex with her The secret has been tightly hidden. In order to avoid embarrassment, Qinniang slept with the third sister and Chou'er along the way.

sent Li Mao to lie down, and Qin Niang left quietly. Although she left, the word "sleep" left behind made Li Mao think about it, and he rarely lost sleep. The third watch has passed, Li Mao still has no sleepiness at all, he is criticizing his dirty thoughts in his heart, but suddenly he heard a strange sound, listen carefully, and unconsciously blushed and heartbeat, and his blood is boiling. The sound floated down from the upper floors, filling the night sky through the thin curtains, making the cold late autumn night suddenly covered with a rosy ambiguity.

Qingmo Xiaowu is right, the couple Xue Rong and Wei's are really a little unreasonable, they don't sleep in the middle of the night, and they disturb the people.

As soon as the sky was bright, Wang Jian's little brother Xiong San knocked on the door of the inn, Li Mao hurriedly arranged to cook, Xiong San said: "Tianming has to go up, I can't afford to delay." Just leading the way in front, Li Mao and his entourage went to the dock with their luggage on their shoulders.

It was still early, the city gate was closed, the street was deserted, Xiong San called to open the city gate under the banner of Wang Jian, Li Mao sent Qingmo to lead the ten men to carry the luggage first, and went to find the city bureau official and stuffed a bunch of money over.

The city bureau refused to accept it, and said: "How dare you neglect the things that Wang Zhiya explained? Li Mao said: "It's not worth anything, please have a bowl of tea for the brothers." "The city bureau just collected the money.

The head of the boat shop knew Xiong San, and knew that it was Wang Jian's person, so he made an exception to open the small door of the boat pond, and called a few boat pond Lifu to help arrange the luggage on the boat, and went all the way unimpeded, and everything was settled and parked when the sun rose. Li Mao asked Qingmo to pay the helper at the market price, thanked the head of the boat pond, accompanied Xiong San to have breakfast in the store outside the town, and took another penny to thank him.

Leaving two men on the boat to take care of the luggage, Li Mao took the remaining eight people back to the inn to carry the belongings of Xue Rong and his wife. It is about two miles from the wharf outside the town to the inn in the town, and you have to pass the south gate of Mokedu Town back and forth, and the city bureau will go home at dawn, and the replacement has not yet arrived, and there are only two guards guarding the door, one old and one thin.

Early in the morning, they opened the door for Li Mao, and each received twenty benefits. Seeing Li Mao coming back, the old doorman held on to the gun and smiled at Li Mao: "Still wandering around here slowly, Li Mao is your parent, something happened!" offended people and made people block in the old store of the Hu family, if it weren't for the protection of the Hu family, the legs would be discounted. ”

The old shop of the Hu family is the inn where Li Mao stayed, Li Mao was stunned when he heard this, he just thought that there was something wrong with his ears, who did he offend, let people block the inn, and break his legs? After a while, he realized that something should have happened to Xue Rong!

Xue Rong is disgusted with officialdom, and has not taken the post road since he came out of Baoding, and Li Mao arranged it all by Li Mao to go through the city and town, and every time he arrives, the store has to register the name of the owner, and Li Mao reports his name. The same is true of the old store of the Hu family, Xue Rong does not go out much after living in the inn, and rarely deals with the living, the people in the inn have a great ability to observe words and looks, and they have long seen that he is the head of this line, so they mistakenly think that he is Li Mao, and Li Mao has become the "Mao Hua" in people's mouths.

Thinking through this section, Li Mao's eyebrows twisted unconsciously. The old doorman misunderstood, thinking that he didn't believe his words, pursed his lips, and said, "Hey, I'm so old, can I still coax you to believe it?" What an accident. Wen San'er led more than 20 splashes to block the door of the Hu family's old store and scolded. ”

Qingmo didn't sleep well all night last night, his eyes were red, and he asked blankly, "Why did Li Mao fight with others?" The thin doorman grinned, "You don't know what's going on?" Haha, that's weird, the whole Mo Kedu knows, don't you know? As he had said, he squeezed his eyes and smiled lewdly.

Li Mao immediately thought of something, and his heart chuckled, he arched his hand to the old man, and said in a deep voice: "Old man, please take a step to speak." The old man seemed to have this intention, the two came to a remote place, Li Mao bowed and saluted, and asked in a harmonious voice: "The boy has just arrived, I don't know the depth of the locality, and I ask the old man to give me more advice, and I will never dare to forget it." ”

At this moment, the city gate has been opened, and there are more and more people coming and going, and the old man lowered his voice and said: "Last night before and after the third watch, a small pounder in this town called Le Gui, lost a fine money in gambling outside, went home and passed by the old store of the Hu family, just heard the squeak upstairs There are men and women in the room, this is not a device to listen to the itchy climb the stairs to peek, but as a result, he fell from the upstairs and broke his leg!" ”

He gritted his teeth and crawled home, ate a stinking scolding from his mother-in-law, and swallowed his anger until dawn to find Wen San'er to help him. You are a foreigner, you must not know how powerful this Wen San'er is, that is a famous scoundrel in the town! When he was young, he stole chickens and dogs, went to the house to reveal the tiles, peeked at women taking baths and blocked people's chimneys, and when he grew up, he bullied men and women, and had long eyes on his head. His sister has a bit of a posture, in the town of Vice General Zheng's house to help cook, let Vice General Zheng to cheat, this guy is not ashamed but proud, everywhere to Vice General Zheng's brother-in-law self-style, in the town of five people six rampant domineering, Vice General Zheng saw that he could do something, but also pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't ask, this guy is even more rampant, specializing in framing business travel, blackmail money. Legui broke his leg at home, but he relied on your housewife to open the window and wave to him and seduce him, and now he asks your family for compensation. ”

Li Mao laughed angrily, and said hatefully: "This guy is so hateful, it doesn't count as ruining people's reputation, but he also blackmails money, others don't dare to mess with him, but I'm not afraid of him!" Because of the distance, Qingmo couldn't hear what the two said, but the expression on Li Mao's face had already said everything, and the little guy hated and said: "Dare to provoke Lao Tzu, look for death!" He waved his hand and said to the eight strong men, "guys!" Grandma's, what kind of bullshit cats and dogs dare to bully our family? ”

"Wait." Li Mao snorted, beckoned Qingmo, explained the truth of the matter in a few words, and explained: "You enter the store from the back door and guard Dalang every step of the way, but remember: hold back and don't do it first." Everything is waiting for me to go back. He also instructed: "Don't expose the identity of Da Lang, I will carry this black cauldron." ”

Qingmo responded, untied the money bag from his waist and stuffed it into Li Mao's hand, and whispered: "I don't think I have to go and ask Wang Zhiya for help." That little black lady is a money-loving person, so keep this one for you. ”

Li Mao scolded with a smile: "This kid ...... There is a future for cultivation. ”
