Chapter 6: Robbing the rich and giving to the poor
This person has the wrinkles of time on his face, he is upright, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but the strange thing is that his eyes are dull and dim, which does not match his whole temperament.
"Objective, whether it's a tip or a store." Ye Sheng greeted in a low voice, and the man answered, slowly stepped into the threshold and said, "Give me a first-class room." "Good!" Ye Sheng nodded, and was about to lead the way, when the shopkeeper next to him spoke, "Who's that!" Go and give this guest a treat! Didn't you see that Brother Ye Sheng did so much tiring work just now! It's really not considerate enough! ”
It's a treasure to yourself! Ye Sheng couldn't cry or laugh, "It's okay, shopkeeper, I'm not tired." "You, your lips are dry and broken, go get some water!" Who's that! Bring this iron-clad guest to the second room of Tianzi! ”
Guests need to register and pay a deposit at the hotel, standing next to the man in black, Ye Sheng saw his name written in the book, Huaying Building!
Under the guidance of another shopkeeper, the second Changsheng, Huayinglou calmly climbed the stairs to check in, looking at his back, Ye Sheng always felt that something was strange, but he just couldn't say it. For a while, the Flower Shadow Building left a deep impression on Ye Sheng.
The business of Taohualou is good, there is an endless stream of guests who come to eat during the day, and at night, there are people who keep coming to stay in the hotel. Therefore, the shopkeeper has always been on duty at night, and each person works in shifts for one day, but the shopkeeper Qian Li eliminated Ye Sheng. Just kidding, the person sent by Miss Nangong, even if it's just a shopkeeper, doesn't need to be on night duty! How can you let Ye Sheng do this hard work!
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the sky is high and cool. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the two figures sneakily left the restaurant and climbed and walked on the eaves of the houses on the street.
These two people are naturally Ye Sheng and Hou Hua. Seeing Hou Hua's hands and feet walking on the eaves bricks and tiles with agility and lightness, Ye Sheng, who was stumbling and walking unevenly behind, asked curiously, "You are obviously also a white belt, why are you so good at kung fu than me." ”
Hou Hua smiled slyly, "I've been hiding my strength, in fact, I've already become a black belt one level higher than the white belt, it's just that I haven't worn a black belt since I pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger." Ye Sheng suddenly admired the five-body throw, "People like you who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers are generally the protagonists in novels!" "Of course!" Hou Hua stopped, smiled and pointed to the spacious mansion not far away, and said, "Today, let's steal some treasures safely and come back with a full load!" ”
It was too dark, Ye Sheng didn't even see whose plaque was hanging on the door, and then followed Hou Hua clumsily into the garden of the mansion. Under the cover of flowers and green trees, the two of them quietly approached a gazebo, and the lights under the eaves in the distance were dim, but the aisle was empty, not even a patrolling servant.
"Whose mansion is this?" Ye Sheng was curious, he claimed that he was robbing the rich and helping the poor tonight, so if it was the mansion of a person with good conduct, he was unwilling to steal. Hou Hua was familiar with the road, led Ye Sheng through the pavilion, and then bent down along the dense flowers under the aisle, "I'm afraid to scare you when I say it, Ma Rulong, the noble son of Jiangnan, have you heard of it!" ”
Hou Hua kept humming and muttering, full of dissatisfaction with this Ma Rulong, "Ma Rulong's family is mainly in the silk business of exporting from the south, and he has a lot of money, but he is stingy and stingy, his father was seriously ill before he died, and this son was only willing to spend a hundred taels of silver." As a result, Ma Rulong's father Ma Biao naturally died. All over the south of the Yangtze River, everyone knows that Ma Rulong, this kid, is heavy on sex and light on friends, and forgets his righteousness when he sees profit! ”
Such a coincidence? Hearing about Ma Rulong's old story, Ye Sheng was suddenly even more annoyed by this Ma Rulong, it's really not a thing! I don't know if Nangong Wan'er has met him recently. After hinting that she was pretending to be faint and pitiful, she must have vaguely seen Ma Rulong's narrow character.
"Steal!" Ye Sheng muttered, full of courage under hatred, "We don't steal silver, we only steal gold!" "Good brother! Daring! Hou Hua smiled, and led Ye Sheng to the dark and silent outside of the house immediately. Hou Hua pointed to the closed door and said, "This is where Ma Rulong usually sleeps, but this kid often visits the Qinglou and lingers, so it is convenient for us." ”
Ye Sheng followed behind Hou Hua and secretly opened the door and sneaked in, there was really no one in the room, this bedroom was luxuriously decorated, either mahogany utensils or pearl and jade silk decorations, and the trench was inhumane.
"You've been here to steal?" Ye Sheng was a little curious about Hou Hua's skill, watching him go straight to the bottom of the bed and pull out a wooden box, Ye Sheng asked in a low voice, "As the saying goes, it's not good to steal and not be greedy for money." If you come here to steal it a second time, you'll inevitably be caught! ”
"Phew! Crow's beak! Hou Hua patted Ye Sheng's head, "The last time I came to steal a hundred taels of silver, this Ma Rulong didn't notice anything, this noble son is very rich, and he won't take the little money we stole in his eyes at all, don't worry." ”
After that, Hou Hua couldn't wait to open the wooden box, Ye Sheng looked over curiously, and sure enough, he saw the platinum and half-gold treasures inside, densely spread all over the wooden box. That's a lot of money! Ye Shengzheng was pleasantly surprised, and then only felt a strong wind blowing on his face.
What is it? Ye Sheng turned his head sideways, in the dark bedroom, the doors and windows were closed tightly, what was the origin of the gust of wind just now? Ye Sheng was a thief, and hurriedly whispered, "Quick, let's fill our pockets and withdraw quickly." "I'm afraid, I can't leave." Hou Hua's voice choked like a fish's sting in his throat, Ye Sheng frowned and pushed him, "Don't be kidding, do you still want to live here." ”
Hou Hua was lightly pushed by Ye Sheng and fell to the ground without the power to parry, Ye Sheng was shocked, and hurriedly reached out to help him, and then found that Hou Hua had a short feather arrow stuck in his chest. The wound pierced by the feather arrow had already infiltrated the clothes with unstoppable blood.
Ye Sheng was frightened, and only then did he find that there was a hidden weapon touch switch and a note lying on top of the gold and silver treasure of the wooden box, only to see a few twisted words written on it, 'Want to steal the master's money? Damn it! It seems that this is a hidden weapon laid by Ma Rulong, who has been stolen once, in order to let the thief who comes back to patronize have a lesson!
Yes, Ma Rulong is obviously a stingy person who loves money, and he was stolen by Hou Hua for a hundred taels of silver, how could he ignore it and not wait for an opportunity to retaliate? Ye Sheng's face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't take care of the gold and silver treasures, he hurriedly picked up Hou Hua and said, "Let's go, let's go see the doctor!" ”
Hou Hua groaned in pain, the feather arrow didn't sink into his chest, and he was seriously injured, and he probably wouldn't live long. Ye Sheng didn't look at the box full of gold and silver treasures, picked up Hou Hua and walked quickly to the door, but heard footsteps and laughter outside. Ma Rulong is back!
Ye Sheng was shocked, stopped and looked back, there were few hiding places in the house, so Ye Sheng hugged Hou Hua and immediately hid under the bed. At the same time, the door was pushed open, and if Ye Sheng was one step late, then he and Hou Hua would both be arrested!
Ma Rulong seemed to be drunk, and his mouth was full of slurred words, "No! I'm not drunk, I'm going to drink! Miss Wan'er, don't worry, in a few days, I will definitely eradicate the Mingjiao chaos in Jiangnan and let you enjoy the mountains and rivers comfortably! "Wan'er? Nangong Wan'er? Ye Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then secretly saddened, he didn't expect Nangong Wan'er to be such a person!
"Oops! Ma Gongzi, they all say that they are not Nangong Wan'er! Dislike! The woman's voice is not Nangong Wan'er, because every time this woman spits out words, she is so soft and charming, and her delicate tone is soft.
Ye Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, it was not Nangong Wan'er. Lying under the bed, he saw Ma Rulong's feet stumbling up and then taking off his shoes and going to bed, and then Ye Sheng heard Ma Rulong say drunken again, "It's okay!" Wait until I marry you! I'll change your name to Nangong Wan'er again! Then you dress up as Nangong Wan'er every day and let me get on it, okay! ”
"Hee-hee, Ma Gongzi hates it!" The woman's voice was charming and coquettish, "People haven't promised to marry you yet!" However, if it's the man I like, don't pretend to let me pretend to be Nangong Wan'er, even if I want to pretend to be a dog, I'm willing! Hee-hee! Listening to the words of the two people, Ye Sheng felt unfair in his heart, and secretly scolded a traitor.
Looking down at Hou Hua in his arms, his slender monkey face was already pale with too much bleeding, his lips were dry and he glanced at Ye Sheng helplessly, Hou Hua said in a low voice, "I'm too seriously injured, I'm afraid Hua Tuo can't be saved while he is alive." ”
Looking at Ye Sheng's worried look, Hou Hua pursed his lips and smiled miserably, "You are a good friend worth making, but your personality is not suitable for mixing in the rivers and lakes." Ye Sheng, do you know why I like money? Because, to be a man, you have to be like this copper plate, the outer circle and the inner square are right. ”
"If you want to make a lot of money, you have to be able to pretend. How to pretend to be forced? Simple, learn to pretend to be a grandson first, and then you will have a great day. Hou Hua covered the injury on his chest, the blood couldn't stop flowing, staining the floor red and Ye Sheng's white sleeves, Hou Hua poured out everything he wanted to say to Ye Sheng before he died, "You have to learn to be inflammatory, and see the wind to make the rudder." That way, I'll be able to see you again one day. ”
"Good!" Ye Sheng smiled reluctantly, holding Hou Hua's hand tightly and secretly regretting it, he knew that he shouldn't have come to rob the rich and help the poor. Hou Hua was physically and mentally tired, mentally sleepy, and he couldn't say anything when he was seriously injured, he shook Ye Sheng's hand hard, and then Hou Hua closed his eyes and swallowed, and his figure gradually disappeared in place.
Hou Hua died, and only dropped a few silver taels on the ground. Ye Sheng lay on the cold floor in a daze. In the first two days and one night, I witnessed several deaths, is this the rivers and lakes? Ye Sheng had mixed feelings, and at this time, he heard the laughter of Ma Rulong and the woman on the bed again, "Oops! Don't run! Let my brother hug and kiss! ”
