Chapter 31: The Full Moon Feast
Fangcao's face was full of sorrow: "Little ...... Sister, do we still want to buy roast chicken tonight? β
"Doesn't it taste good?"
"It's not that it's not delicious."
"Tired of eating?"
"Not really." Fangcao opened the money bag and poured out all the copper coins inside: "There are so many mouths, where is the money enough to eat, it is roast chicken, it is braised goose, there are big meat buns every day, and the Sun family doesn't have any food, so they are too lazy for the two of us...... Shameless. β
She took out a bag and poured out the contents as wellβit was the golden bean given by Li Yan.
"It's not...... How is it here? β
"Sun Da gave it to me."
Sun Da was still conscious, and on the night he came to the yard, he gave her a bag of golden beans, a lot of them.
"How do you know that one is a lot?" Fangcao smiled and picked up the golden beans back into the bag, picked up half of them and poured them out: "I'll count them carefully." β
Looking at Fangcao's money obsession, she was quite satisfied.
"Little grass girl." Looking outside, she whispered, "These golden beans, let's not use them yet." β
"Why?"
"In this small place of Nanxun, a golden bean is conspicuous."
"Then this ...... to eat and drink?"
"Lock, do you want to buy it?"
Fangcao put all the golden beans back before answering her words: "It's the same, it's still those looks, what kind of lock do you want, let's talk about it, I'll let the locksmith hit one?" β
"Then forget it."
In recent days, she and Fangcao have traveled all over Nanxun, seven locksmith shops, as long as she sees different locks, she has bought them back.
What do you buy it for?
Of course, it's to study how to pick locks.
Fangcao returned to the previous topic: "Without Jindoudou, we can eat and drink for a day at most." β
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll solve it tomorrow. Little grass girl, do you know why, I cook so well......"
Chicken, duck, fish, and a meal of mutton and venison, eat it in a different way, and you can't make it yourself, so go to the restaurant, pack it back and eat, yellow and clear rice, white and tender white rice, big meat buns, vegetarian buns, turbid rice wine......
Take Sun Xiaohou's words: "Thanks to the blessing of my eldest sister, we are celebrating the New Year every day!" β
Sun Xiaohou thinks so.
Others feel even more happy.
When they are accustomed to eating these good things, and then compare them with the previous days, after all, their mountain bandit career is not brilliant, they don't have much money in their hands, and they can't buy anything on the street except for making it themselves.
Therefore, Sun Da began to worry when he was full.
He already had serious doubts about life - should he change careers?
Fangcao quietly asked, "Why?" β
"The money I spend, you can understand as an investment."
"Investment is divided into short-term investment and long-term investment."
"No matter what kind of investment it is, we have to look farther, not just the present, for example, the hundreds of copper coins."
Fangcao said she didn't understand.
After dinner in the evening, she went out alone to eat.
Go to the river.
I found a corner and sat on the shore, the afterglow sprinkled on the river, a sparkling wave.
The sunset is infinitely better.
I got up and was about to go back, when out of the corner of my eye, I saw a pile of bamboo baskets in the corner of the wall, among which there was a basket with a few drops of dark red liquid.
The smell of blood.
Come closer, the blood doesn't clot.
Walked in a little more.
In vain opened a bamboo basket.
"Huh?" The hand paused.
The dark face under the bamboo basket was also stunned.
Taking advantage of the other party's reaction, she quickly put down the bamboo basket.
Fall back!
Retreat!
At this time, there were footsteps from behind, and there were more than two or three people in a hurry.
was supposed to flash immediately, and like a ghost, she sat on the upside-down bamboo basket.
A search team of four or five people appeared.
The leading official asked her, "Have you seen any suspicious people passing by here?" Tall and big, very dark, he should have been injured. β
"Towards that side."
The official immediately beckoned people to leave.
Several people disappeared in sight.
But before the butt left the bamboo basket, suddenly, the leading official folded back.
The servant glanced at her, and then turned his gaze to her feet.
She followed suit.
Oops - there was a drop of blood at her feet, and her skirt was stained with some blood, and the blood on the ground was probably swept away by her.
After arriving at the courtyard of Sun's house, she found a set of ordinary women's clothes, that is, the style of a long skirt, so as not to attract attention.
"What's going on?"
The official drew his sword.
He took two steps forward.
She pulled her skirt and bowed her head shyly: "This...... I ......"
"Say it louder!"
"My lord, the little woman suddenly came to menstruation, and her skirt ...... It's dirty. β
"You, stand up." The official did not continue to step forward.
She stood up honestly and pulled up some skirts: "My lord, you ...... Are you going to check? β
The official took a few steps back.
"It's getting dark, hurry back!"
"Yes, if it's dark, I'll go back......"
The servant took the men and went away.
She also hurriedly opened the bamboo basket and asked the man she had seen in Wangjiazhai to follow her.
Walk into an alley.
"Can you flip over?"
The man glanced at the courtyard wall: "This is here?" β
"It's an empty yard, no one lives, you go in first to hide, I'll send you something later." By the way, I won't come in, things will be thrown in for you from here. β
With that, she left.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Early in the morning of the second day, the whole Nanxun was shrouded in a festive atmosphere, Jia County ordered in the name of a person, free soup kitchen, distribution of steamed buns, go to the people to say goodbye, if the words are good, there will be a few rewards.
Morning.
People kept carrying cages into the house next to the county office, and by noon, things could only be placed in the courtyard in front of the hall, and the people who lined up to say goodbye had already lined up for two streets.
The back alley of Jia's house.
The porter carried two boxes full of vegetables and fruits, panting, and said to the doorkeeper: "Let's let, let me go, it's tight inside!" β
"Which? Put things down, take them out one by one and check them! β
"Rich building! I'll tell you, if you delay the hour, your county order will blame you, but you can't be lazy with your rich building! β
"Yo! How many of you have a good temper? β
The porter smiled and stuffed some copper coins over: "It's all errands, it's not easy." β
The doorkeeper was silent, and impatiently motioned for a few of them to hurry up and enter.
It didn't take long.
The housekeeper of Jia's house came to the back door, and his eyes looked straight at the mouth of the alley.
"Why hasn't the troupe come yet?"
"Don't worry, I'll take a look."
"Hurry up!"
Before the man guarding the door could go down the stairs, a group of people came from the mouth of the alley, carrying a cage behind him: "Come on, come on!" Steward, you see, the people of the troupe are here! β
A dozen or so people entered the door.
The steward asked the contact, "Why did you come?" What time is this?! β
"The steward rests the fire, the wheel of the car on this road is broken, otherwise it would have arrived a long time ago."
"Humph! Let them sing well and take out all the housekeeping efforts! We've spent a lot of money! No one can sweep away the prosperity of the prefectural order today! Did you hear that? β
"Yes, yes, don't worry, this is the number one team in Huai'an."
