Chapter 22: The Family VS the Imperial Power (II)
Reading Pavilion 『 』, the full text is free to read. According to Huzi's intentions, I will go to his house tonight to block him.
Yang Hui told us the house number, in fact, there will be no problem to block him tonight, but the key is to block him now, what to do? Shall we arrest him and take him to the Public Security Bureau?
My goal is not to uphold justice, I want to make money, to make more and more money. So much so that you can buy whatever you want.
Speaking from the heart, I am greedy for money, but a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and I am never greedy for ill-gotten gains.
The best thing to do is for us to keep an eye on him, and while he is out, Huzi and I will go in and eat black. Take a few things from him and leave, God knows, except for me and Huzi, no one knows.
Urine turtle is a master, he is not easy to deal with, but it is much easier to deal with his woman. When I asked for matches for her likes and baked ya, I knew that this was just an ordinary woman. If she was a partner with the turtle, she wouldn't be able to do such a foolish thing.
Presumably it was a turtle who went out, grabbed a match and stuffed it into his pocket, and smoked a cigarette after arriving at the old house, but the match was gone, and he threw it on the ground. As soon as he walked, he kicked his foot to the bottom of the kitchen cupboard, and was blocked by the cabinet legs.
So when he cleaned up the scene later, he thought that he didn't leave anything behind, but this matchbox was left there.
If it weren't for this matchbox, I wouldn't have found him so smoothly, and maybe, I wouldn't have found him at all.
After dinner, Huzi and I sent Yang Hui away, and then walked towards the street along the Houhe River, where there were all kinds of small businesses at the mouth of the alley, and it was still very lively.
Huzi and I walked all the way forward, and after walking for more than ten minutes, we arrived outside the door.
The door was closed and deserted. There happened to be a low wall next to it, and Huzi jumped up and looked inside, and there were two small simple houses that had collapsed.
We climbed over the wall and went in, and we squatted in the low wall, quietly listening to the movement in the courtyard.
This turtle is a night owl, he basically doesn't go out during the day, and at night he can't be idle, so he should go out for a walk. Or maybe go down the sewers and go to the tomb to see what is going on. He won't give up unless he sees with his own eyes that it's indeed sealed.
The sewers were like the labyrinth, and he walked so many times that he felt that no one could catch him in them. But the last time I startled him, he must have been wary.
Huzi and I don't speak, it's too close to the turtle's house, only a wall separates.
We just leaned against the wall, clasped our hands, and sat on the floor listening.
I'm patient enough, Huzi hasn't been trained in this area.
If I want to squat, I can bring food and squat here for a month. But Huzi couldn't, and at ten o'clock in the night, he couldn't squat anymore, and said in my ear, "I'm afraid I won't go out tonight." ”
After saying that, Huzi retracted his head again.
I whispered in his ear, "Don't talk, there's a dog in the yard." ”
Huzi leaned over and said, "How do you know?" ”
I said, "I smell the dog." ”
As he spoke, the dog in the yard barked.
The two of us hurriedly shut up, this dog's nose is spiritual, but there is wind today, and we happen to be downwind. The dog barked a few times and stopped barking.
Huzi realized that he had made a mistake, and bowed to me with his hands folded, which should not be worshipping the Buddha, but should be sorry. I can't say it on my lips, so I express it in this way.
After eating enough, drinking enough, and dressing warmly, it is nothing to squat here for the night, and it is a big deal to go back to sleep after dawn. Squatting here every night, one day he will be able to squat until he goes out.
The first night we squatted in vain, and as soon as it was dawn, I heard a cart outside selling tofu. Huzi and I took the opportunity to come out and walked out of the alley with the tofu seller.
After arriving home, Huzi and I fell on the kang together, and Huzi said, "Lao Chen, whether it is a urine turtle or not, don't we go to confirm it?" What if you get it wrong? ”
I said, "You can't be wrong." This man is very well hidden, and it is difficult for us to confirm it. Even if someone comes out, I can't go up and let someone take off their gloves and take a look. Just go straight to it, if yes we earn it, if not, we don't lose anything. ”
Huzi said: "Cheng, just do it." But when will Yang Hui's money be given? ”
I said, "Two hundred dollars, give it to her today." Just tell her you've found the right person and thank her. ”
Huzi and I had breakfast and went to bed until noon. The third aunt's milk bun with donkey meat stuffing and tomato egg soup. Huzi and I didn't eat less, and we ate with round stomachs. I secretly pinched a bun and made an ecstasy bun to use against the dog at a critical time.
In the afternoon, there was nothing to do, and Huzi and I were on the little hot kang in the bookstore.
The third aunt bought a lot of honeycomb coal, and at this time the weather turned cold, and the bookstore had already begun to burn, and the house was burning very warm. Therefore, when people come here to read books, they take off their coats when they enter the house, hang them on hangers, and sit comfortably in the hall.
I've found that business is getting better and better.
It's easy to get sleepy when you read a book, and when you see more than three/o'clock, you get sleepy again, and you put the book down and squint. After waking up, he and Huzi went to the front door, Yang Hui came as promised, we gave Yang Hui 200 yuan, Yang Hui was very happy. said that if there is anything in the future, just look for her, she will definitely be able to do it.
After eating again, Yang Hui asked Huzi: "Brother Huzi, will I still come to you tomorrow?" ”
Huzi said: "Come on, as long as you are willing to come, I will take care of your dinner." ”
I said in my heart that Huzi is still very angry, and this thing is well done. Besides, it is impossible for people to eat and drink for nothing all the time, after all, Yang Hui is not stupid.
Sure enough, Yang Hui smiled and said, "Tomorrow won't work, I really have something to do tomorrow." I'm going on a blind date. ”
Huzi nodded and said, "That's it, then the day after tomorrow, you come here again to find me and your brother Chen." ”
"Let's talk about it."
After Yang Hui finished speaking, she put on a scarf and put on a woolen hat to say goodbye to us.
I know that Yang Hui will not come the day after tomorrow, unless we go to the gate of Quanjude to find her. She's still very self-aware, and I'm starting to like this girl a little bit.
Huzi said: "Lao Chen, this girl is good. ”
I hummed and said, "It's okay, it's average-looking, but the heart is quite alive." And there are no bad habits, what should be eaten, what should be taken, and what should not be touched is definitely not touched. She said that she was going on a blind date, but she was actually testing you. ”
Huzi smiled: "I'm not interested in her." That's not what I'm looking for. ”
I said, "What are you looking for?" ”
Huzi looked at me and didn't say anything. But I can see that there is someone in Huzi's heart.
It was still the same place that night, and Huzi and I continued to squat behind the low wall, unable to speak, so we just shrank at the foot of the wall and sat with our eyes closed.
This is definitely a grind for Huzi.
Huzi was much stronger than last night, and until eleven o'clock at night, he was stunned and didn't say a word.
We are afraid of urine, and we dare not drink water. Thirst is certain, just endure it.
At half-past eleven, the door to the courtyard suddenly opened. Then there were heavy footsteps.
Soon the gate of the courtyard was opened, and when the man came out, he locked it from the outside. The woman must have fallen asleep, and instead of going out to cut the door, she was locked in the courtyard, indicating that the person who went out would return before dawn.
I estimated the time, and then exchanged a look with Huzi, who climbed up the wall and threw the prepared meat bun directly to the dog.
The dog swallowed the bun when he saw it, raised his head and shook his tail twice, then lost his footing, and then began to deviate and fell sideways to the ground. Huzi said: "Lao Chen, what kind of medicine are you!" It's amazing. ”
I said, "Don't talk nonsense, go down." ”
Huzi and I went down the yard and went straight to the house.
The man went out and locked the outside door, and the door must have been unclosed. Huzi and I casually touched the edge of the kang, and the woman was sleeping soundly on the kang. I took out my handkerchief and covered her mouth directly, and the woman's head tilted and she fainted.
Huzi turned on the light at this time, and suddenly the room lit up.
The room is spacious and luxurious, and it looks like ordinary people are ordinary people outside, who would have thought that they would live the life of a local tyrant and capitalist.
The furniture of golden silk nanmu, leather sofas, high-end porcelain, and all kinds of ornaments, you can know at a glance that there are no hundreds of thousands of things in this room.
Huzi said: "Huo! Is this to the palace? Look at this porcelain, it's all gilded. ”
I said, "Looks like we've got the right person." I started searching, and it must be in this yard. ”
The two of us went out, turned off the lights in the house, and when we arrived in the yard, Huzi took a shovel and poked it on the ground, and took a step to poke it, as long as the bottom was empty, the sound immediately changed.
But I didn't think it would be in the yard, I turned my head and saw the west wing, which had a big big black lock on the main card.
I went over, took out the master key, and slowly groped for the lock, and then I waved my hand at Huzi, who came over and entered the West Wing with me.
There is a kang in the west wing, and there is a kang on the southernmost side of the kang, and there is a small kang table on this side of the kang.
I made a look, Huzi went up and moved away from the small kang table, swept the kang up, and immediately saw that there was a square iron plate on the kang, and the iron plate was locked. I went up and unlocked the lock, and when I opened it, there was a bamboo ladder stretched down. High-quality and free reading is in the Reading Pavilion.
