When he was walking in the morning, he walked to the old lady's garden.

In addition to burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, the evil old lady likes to decorate the garden the most, and the thousand-year-old cinnamon brought out by the court in the past is planted in the courtyard. If you have nothing to do in your daily life, you will take care of the pruning yourself. The lush vegetation, growing day by day, is very vibrant, and the ever-expanding green brings a fresh breath to this ancient yard.

Evil Bulu smelled the green fragrance of osmanthus and earth from a long distance, which made his already troubled mind a little more cheerful, he laughed at himself and walked over.

The clever little maid had already seen the evil and was about to say hello. Evil Bulu raised a hand and waved it, signaling her not to speak.

A few magnolia plants are planted by the edge of small fish ponds, half-open and half-budding. Half of the trees were shrouded in the shadows of the eaves, and the sun was not everywhere, and the flowers were still wet with dew. The old lady was bending down to pluck the dead leaves from the flowers, and her emaciated body looked a little difficult.

Looking at the old lady's back, Xie Bulu thought in a trance that it has been more than 30 years, the years are ruthlessly urging people to grow old, and the happiness of youth implies the pain of aging. In the old lady's life, too many years have been dedicated to the evil family. It's really old now.

"Why didn't you go to Wucheng today to talk about business? The old lady didn't look back, but said slowly.

"Back to the old grandmother's words, Bulu originally planned to leave for Wucheng the day after tomorrow, and just walked to the back garden. Seeing the fragrance in his eyes, he remembered that his grandmother also had a sea of flowers here, so he walked over. Evil Bulu Shi Li said: "The old grandmother is old, and you don't have to do these jobs yourself in the future, I have a gardener I know who is very famous in Jinju, and you can invite me to come." ”

The old lady straightened her back, and although her face was pale, she showed a faint smile, she turned around and said with a smile: "No need, you can't always eat and sleep when you're old, don't you eat and eat when you sleep?" ”

Evil Bulu was very ashamed in his heart, and secretly blamed himself, I haven't been here for a long time, maybe I don't remember.

The maid offered new tea and retreated knowingly.

"Xiao Qi has nothing to do after he comes back, which may cause dissatisfaction among the family elders. Evil Bulu held the teacup in one hand, looked at the old lady and said slowly.

The old lady squinted her eyes and stroked the Buddha beads, gently pursing the corners of her mouth. Compassion on his face.

"Xiao Qi's heart is not in the evil family, nor is it in Jincheng. The old lady opened her eyes, and her dark eyes were still as calm as Gu Tan: "Far away, the war is raging. There is a soaring eagle spreading its wings and flying high. Maybe in the future, that eagle will be the evil boy. ”

... The old lady's words contained an unfathomable meaning.

Evil Bulu was shocked in his heart, and felt uneasy that if he didn't speed up the process of selecting the patriarch of the family, Xiao Qi's position in the evil family would be in jeopardy in the future.

...

Evil Xiaoqi went out of the house, called for steamed buns and went straight to the pawnshop.

The old shopkeeper crossed his feet, rolled his eyelids, and looked at the face of steamed bread and bread through the high counter. The black bean-like eyes were staring at him like a dead fish, expressionless. The steamed bun opened its mouth full of yellow teeth, and a wave of disgust welled up in the heart of the old shopkeeper. Somehow, everything was so annoying, boring, uncomfortable, uncomfortable.

"The evil boy asked you to come over, if you don't have the master, you can't spend a cent of the money in the account. The old shopkeeper said coldly, threw the thick account book in front of him on the table, and the corners of his thin mouth were pursed into a line, revealing his disgust undisguisedly.

Steamed buns are not thin-skinned people, and they are still not embarrassed after being snubbed, so they grinned and said: "Uncle, you can do it, okay, if you really can't do it, you can pay for the next month's living expenses first." ”

"Next month, the second half of the year is gone, and I don't know how to explain to the master. The old shopkeeper didn't raise his head, and shouted coldly: "You better go back quickly, don't delay my business." ”

"Lean on the side...", the guy took the broom and patted the foot of the steamed bun very unceremoniously. A ray of sunlight filtered through the pane, and fine dust danced in the pale pillars of light. Even fools can see that this is an obvious rhythm that is striking.

The steamed bun snorted coldly, scolding in his heart, calling you a snobbish kid, and you will look good when you come. He winked at the old shopkeeper, and his eyes flashed with a sly light.

The steamed bun that didn't turn around stared at the old shopkeeper and walked out of the door backwards. A seven or eight-year-old boy jumped into the house and shouted when he came in: "Who is Zhang Guangcai? ”

", your house is on fire. The man looked up and scolded the yelling boy.

"I'm looking for Zhang Guangcai, it's your business. "The child was dressed in coarse cloth and soap, and his hair was divided into two halves, and each was tied in a knot on the top of his head, like two sheep's horns. The slightly immature words have some ruffian connotations unique to the alleys of the market.

"Oops, you little bunny, you're against the sky. Let's see how you clean up today. The guy waved his broom and was about to greet the boy.

"Wait, let this little guy finish talking. The old shopkeeper leaned out from behind the counter, looked at the child's dark eyes, and said, "Who told you that? In fact, the old shopkeeper could immediately think of the evil family in his heart, but he just wanted to confirm it.

The little boy straightened his back and said loudly: "You old man is really long-winded, just forget it if you don't listen." After speaking, he turned around and disappeared into the eyes of the old shopkeeper like the wind.

The old shopkeeper sighed lightly and shook his head, and before he could open the account book, he suddenly heard a shout from the street outside: "It's on fire, it's on fire in the south end of the square..."

The old shopkeeper was shocked, he lived in Nanwanfang, was it really on fire?

"Ah Ping, you watch the store carefully, I'll go back when I go. The old shopkeeper who came out of the low door on the side gave his men an order, and hurried out of the house and ran towards the south end of the square.

Today's business is deserted, and the man is happy that the old shopkeeper can still be lazy when he is not there, so he moved a bamboo stool. The ass is not yet hot. Suddenly, it was dark in front of me, and there was a bag or something on my head. The clumsy body struggled hard, in exchange for punches and kicks, which made his eyes dizzy.

Thankfully, it didn't take long for the guy to break free of the bag. There was no one in front of him, and he didn't care about the pain on his body, so he quickly opened the low door next to the counter, and when he got in, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

In the very dim light of the cabinet against the wall, small pieces of wood carved with red sandalwood are placed. On the side, there is a cloud-type rosewood frame, high and low, left and right, with the lattice, some jade antiques are furnished, and the top lattice is empty.

The guy clearly remembered that there should be a jade bracelet in good condition.

"The bracelet didn't... It's gone, report to the official..."The old shopkeeper came back and saw that the guy was trembling, and he understood at once, and sighed and said, "Forget it, it's not worth a few dollars." Let's go and tell the lord first. ”

The old shopkeeper stumbled out just now, and saw that there were indeed a few men in front of him running and shouting, and he knew that there was an alley at the intersection in front of him that led directly to the south end of the square. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned in, he was tripped from behind, and the old shopkeeper stumbled and fell. At the same time, he also secretly scolded the evil Xiaoqi in his heart, and it was this kid's ghost again.
