Chapter 175: A cat barks

Yun Jiao looked at the door of the shop and said, "This signboard is a little too old and inconspicuous, when Mr. Wu comes back, let's get a new one." ”

"Do you want to change the name of the shop?" Pu Jia asked.

"We'll talk about it then." Yun Jiao pondered for a moment: "I haven't thought of a good name yet, let's go and take a look." ”

The two entered the shop one after the other.

The shop has changed greatly from the first time they came, the things are very neat, the mottled table of the Eight Immortals and the high stool have also been repainted, and the tea set on the table is also new.

Because of the Chinese New Year, the tea and tea cakes are all put into the jar, and the counter looks a little empty.

The shelves behind the counter have fallen a lot of dust because they have not been taken care of recently.

"Girl, do you want to tidy up?" Pu Jia touched the ash on the counter, raised her hand to look, and then couldn't help but shake her hand.

Yun Jiao shook her head: "No need, I will collect it when Mr. Wu comes back, the God of Wealth is not good at sprinkling and sweeping a few days ago, and I have not to sweep away my wealth." ”

The fifth day of the first lunar month is the day of the God of Wealth handed down by the people of the Dayuan Dynasty.

On this day, the God of Wealth descends to earth, and the people who do business always have to worship incense and set off cannons to welcome the God of Wealth into the house, so that the business will be prosperous and the wealth will be extensive.

Generally, people do not sprinkle and sweep on the first day of the first month, and they can't move the broom, for fear of sweeping the wealth of the family.

People who do business are more particular, and they only sweep until the God of Wealth Day, just to get a good omen.

Yun Jiao doesn't have to act according to the rules, but she doesn't open the door to welcome guests today, and she is not in a hurry to sweep at this time.

"Let's take a look at the back." Yun Jiao raised her feet and went to the backyard.

I saw that in the backyard, it was tidy, and the original weeds had gone out, leaving a bare small yard.

"Girl, now that the beginning of spring has passed, when the weather is warm, move some flowers and plants to come and plant, and it is estimated that they will bloom soon." Pu Jia looked left and right.

"Hmm." Yun Jiao nodded.

"Woo ......"

Yun Jiao frowned, as if she heard a cat barking.

Pu Jia also looked around.

"Did you hear that, too?" Yun Jiao asked her.

"Girl, what is the voice?" Pu Jia tentatively took two steps inside.

"It's like a cat, but it's not like it." Yun Jiao frowned.

"I don't dare to go, girl, I'm going to call Wan Nianqing, right?" Pu Jia was timid, took two steps and retreated.

"A cat is terrible." Yun Jiao disagreed.

As soon as the words ended, the voice appeared again, this time not like a cat meowing, but like a sob.

Pu Jia covered her chest in fear and looked at Yun Jiao.

Yun Jiao froze and asked in a low voice, "Who is there?" ”

In the corner of the wall was a haystack that was used for cooking.

The sound seemed to come from behind the haystack.

Yun Jiao waited for a while, but no one responded, and then said, "If you don't speak, I'll come over?" ”

There was still no movement in that place, except for the faint sound of sobbing, which could be heard from time to time.

Yun Jiao boldly moved forward.

Pu Jia pulled out a branch at the end of the haystack and blocked Yun Jiao in front of her: "Girl, let's come as a slave." ”

Yun Jiao saw that she was trembling with fright, but she still protected her, and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart: "It's not in the way, let's take a look at it from a distance." ”

Listening to the movement, if someone is really hiding there, it is estimated that he is not very old, otherwise it would not be such a movement.

"Girl, be careful." Pu Jia is still not at ease.

Yun Jiao nodded and walked over in one go.

Then I saw a girl squatting in the corner of the wall, looking no more than six or seven years old, her clothes were ragged, her clothes were shabby, she was so dirty that she could barely see a cloth eye, and one of her shoes had fallen off her feet.

Look at her messy hair, hugging her knees and curled up in a ball, I don't know if she is afraid or too cold, she has been shivering.

Not far from her, there was a dog hole that was not big or small, and Yun Jiao knew that this girl had come in from the dog hole.

"Little sister." Yun Jiao walked up to her: "Why are you here, your family?" ”

The girl just looked at her timidly, her face was dirty, and only the remaining two eyes were extremely clear, but they were full of fear, staring at Yun Jiao.

"What about my girl?" Pu Jia half-crouched down and looked at her.

The little girl ducked back, still not speaking.

Yun Jiao said again: "Don't be afraid, what do you say to your sister?" ”

She was so young, and she was hiding here in great fright, she must have been greatly frightened.

"A traitor has taken me, and my sister has saved me......" the little girl began to cry as she spoke.

Adulterers are abductors, who specialize in human trafficking for a living, which is not uncommon in the Dayuan Dynasty.

Yun Jiao has also heard of the crimes of traitors, but most of them are from other places, and she has never heard of such a terrible thing at the feet of officials in the imperial capital.

"Where is the adulterer?" Yun Jiao frowned and looked at the dog hole.

If this little girl had come into the yard, the traitor would have been outside, and he would have come to the door in no time.

"Pu Jia, you told Wan Nianqing to go and find my brother and Qin Nanfeng quickly." Yun Jiao didn't wait for the girl to speak.

"Okay." Pu Jia was busy going out.

"Wait a minute." Yun Jiao stopped her again.

"Girl, what else do you command?" Pu Jia asked her.

"Wan Nianqing is gone, you will bolt the door of the shop, and wait for my brother and them to come." She said one more thing.

"Yes." Pu Jia turned around and wanted to leave, so she heard a movement in the shop.

She paused and looked back at Yun Jiao.

Yun Jiao's heart moved, knowing that it was too late.

"I said it all, there are only my girls and maidservants in it, no one else, go out quickly, get out!" Wan Nianqing's voice sounded a little impatient.

"Little brother, let's make it convenient!" The middle-aged man's voice: "Anyone who loses their daughter is in a hurry, so let's just go in and take a look." ”

"Please, little brother!" It was a woman pleading.

Yun Jiao was about to check, and saw that the little girl by the wall was shaking even more, and she was almost paralyzed in fright.

"Don't ...... Do not hand me over to them, they are traitors......"

The little girl's tears fell from her eyes.

Yun Jiao comforted her: "You are hiding here, I'll take a look." ”

"Please." The little girl suddenly knelt down in front of her and kowtowed repeatedly: "If you think I'm troublesome here, please help me report to the official, please......"

Yun Jiao looked extremely unbearable, waved her hand and said, "You can rest assured, I'll take a look." ”

If he is really a traitor, he really has to report to the official.

As she spoke, she took Pujia back to the shop.

In the shop, Wan Nianqing stopped the two: "There is only my girl in it, please leave quickly!" I said I didn't have your daughter here. ”

"You're ......," the woman said, as if she wanted to sprinkle.

"Wan Nianqing, what's wrong?" Yun Jiao walked in.

"Girl, you're just in time." Wan Nianqing pointed to a man and a woman at the door: "These two people didn't say that their daughter was lost behind the shop, but they wanted to go in to check." ”
