Chapter 55: The Cry of the First Year of the First Year

I drank alcohol for the first time since I came to this era, although I drank less, I encountered too many things in the past few months, worked hard, and fell asleep after eating Chinese New Year's Eve.

When he woke up, it was already dawn, and the widow had cleaned the house, and even prepared tea and snacks for him to entertain the New Year's guests.

Wang Tong, who was sleeping in a quilt wrapped in a quilt on the bed, was ignorant of all this, he was too tired and too sleep-deficient, in such a nervous state of mind, only alcohol could make him relax temporarily.

A terrible cry woke Wang Tong, and his whole body bounced up from the bed, and he had already taken out the dagger under the pillow.

When I got up, I only heard the laughter of firecrackers and children on the interface, could it be an illusion, Wang Tong shook his head, thinking that it would be better not to drink in the future, after all, he had to be careful step by step, and the mistake of drinking could cause big trouble, and the disaster of killing himself was not exaggerated.

Wang Tong drank the cold tea on the table, got up to wash, there was a steamer on the stove in the house, after opening it, he saw that it was hot with the rest of the meal from last night, Aunt Ma was really worried, Wang Tong felt quite warm in his heart, and just about to eat something, he heard someone outside calling the door.

When he went out and opened the door, it was Sun Dahai and his brothers, each wearing new clothes, with joyful faces, and when they saw Wang Tong answering the door, they had no mouth to shout "Wishing you prosperity", "New Year's luck", and "step by step".

Sun Dahai is really straightforward, and his poor buddies are also similar in temper, as soon as they came, the atmosphere in the mansion suddenly improved a lot.

"My lord, my father and mother can't close their mouths for the New Year's holiday, my brother eats meat and burps with oil, and a few small flags of grandsons around him also laugh at us for coming to you on an errand, and now my eyes are as red as a rabbit!!"

Sun Dahai had a very loud voice, and after saying this, several people who came with him were laughing there, very proud.

Let him sit down in the house, Sun Dahai and others were elated, talking about the happiness of his father, mother, wife and children after taking the New Year's goods, and the envy of the neighbors.

Wang Tong listened to a few words with a smile, and interjected:

"At the beginning of the first month, the eight brothers are about to come to the upper value, and you can also see the boiling back in the back of the demolition of the house, and the street is very chaotic, and someone wants to watch!"

"My lord, don't worry, just now a few subordinates probably looked around, our hundred households under the jurisdiction of this piece is the appearance of four or five streets, our ten brothers are divided into five teams, each in charge of one side, it is enough to cross and patrol."

Hearing Sun Dahai's answer, Wang Tong couldn't help but nodded, thinking that he would have to train and train after being assigned to his subordinates, but he didn't expect Sun Dahai to know how to do things, which was an unexpected joy.

No matter how unbearable the generations of military households of Jinyiwei are, they have more or less traditions, and they are familiar with maintaining law and order and other livelihoods, but Wang Tong has too little contact and is not familiar with it at all.

Over there, Sun Dahai said that there are no small alleys on this side of South Street, there are many avenues, as long as you hold the intersections and watch them awakely, there will be no chaos after all. Wang Tong spoke again:

"Speaking of the front, our brother's errand is to maintain law and order, patrol and investigate, lack of money and things Although tell me, but if you extort money from private households, don't blame me for not following the rules!"

Listening to what Wang Tong said solemnly, Sun Dahai and the others got up from the chair together, hugged their fists and bowed in agreement, and after sitting down, a person said with a hippie smile:

"The three melons and two dates collected on the street are not more than the New Year's goods given by adults in a year, who still picks up that little bargain, it is not a donkey to catch a dog."

The words were witty, everyone laughed, Wang Tong also laughed, doing things for money, with the input of this delicious restaurant, everything is too convenient, there is no money to pay you to let the people below to abide by the rules and precepts, Wang Tong is fed and then talk about the rules, the effect is very good.

The atmosphere was relaxed, and Wang Tong laughed at himself and said:

"Somehow, before waking up this morning, I heard a cry in a trance, but when I woke up, there was none, it seems that my brother can't drink at this age, and he will be confused and hallucinated when he drinks."

I thought that after finishing speaking, others would laugh and have fun, but I didn't expect the room to be quiet, Wang Tong looked up in amazement, and Sun Dahai hesitated and said:

"My lord, when the brothers came, they did hear crying on the way."

"This street?"

"It's this street, not far from the adults......"

The world pays the most attention to the laughter and harmony of the New Year, and the big things have to wait for the New Year to pass, and the first day of the new year is to greet each other, let alone lose face on the outsider's side.

Even if I heard the cry in a half-dream and half-awake, the poignancy in the cry was impressive, and the South Street side was full of wealthy and well-off people.

Hanging the embroidered spring knife on his waist, Wang Tong got up and walked out, Sun Dahai and the others were stunned, and hurriedly followed, Sun Dahai followed with a little trepidation and explained:

"At that time, I was in a hurry to pay New Year's greetings to adults, and I thought it was someone else's private matter, so I didn't care about it."

Wang Tong waved his hand and said as he walked:

"I'm also multi-minded, I will find out when I go to see it."

As soon as he went out, Ma Sanbiao, who was wearing this new clothes, happened to walk in, and was just about to open his mouth to greet the New Year, when he saw the demeanor of these people and swallowed his words back, Wang Tong directly commanded:

"Three standards, take the guy and come with me."

Ma Sanbiao is a person who likes to be lively very much, and others are afraid of avoiding lawsuits, so he went to Wang Tong's house and carried an axe to chop wood, and followed quickly.

Walked more than 20 steps to the south, turned to the east, and entered an alley, this alley is actually a passage between two stores, Wang Tong was also stunned at the mouth of the alley, isn't this the house where the shopkeeper Zhao of the South Goods Store lives?

He turned his head and asked:

"Is this it?"

"That's right, at that time, everyone scolded a bad word, and it looked like an alley, so they didn't pay attention to it."

Wang Tong felt more and more wrong, but at this time, he remembered that when he came here to borrow paper and pencil a few years ago, the dejected appearance of the shopkeeper Zhao was strange, but now it is a bad omen.

Walking quickly into the alley, the door of Zhao's shopkeeper's house was closed, and he didn't see any couplets, nor did he paste the word Fu, and a person on the side of Sun Dahai asked in a low voice:

"It's the New Year, why can't you even see firecracker paper in front of this door and in the store......"

Firecrackers are set off in the first month of the Spring Festival, and the red crumbs are generally not cleaned before the seventh day of the first month, and there is also a sense of festive wealth, but look at the appearance of the shopkeeper Zhao in front of the store, clean and cold, without the slightest New Year's look, it is said that the old man who died at home will be like this, but on the South Street, Wang Tong and this Zhao shopkeeper are quite familiar, and I have not heard that his family has suffered such a disaster.

After a little hesitation, Wang Tong stepped forward and went to knock on the door, shouting loudly while patting:

"Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao, are you at home?"
