Chapter 47: The thief shouts to catch the thief
The seamstress saw this fine white fox skin, her cloudy eyes lit up, she has been making clothes for more than 20 years, and she has handled thousands of materials, but she rarely encounters such good materials.
She is cold and afraid of the cold, and has always longed to wear a fur dress to keep out the cold in winter, especially this warm, smooth and delicate white fox fur, which is beautiful and high-end, which is what she dreamed of.
Jiang Cheng'er said that this is for gifts, please make sure the tailor aunt is exquisite, she is in a hurry, you can add extra money, please finish it today.
The seamstress stroked the white fox skin, couldn't put it down, and greed arose in her heart.
She saw that Jiang Cheng'er was dressed shabby, her face was dark, and she looked like a peasant girl from the countryside, and she felt that Jiang Cheng'er was easy to deal with.
She was deliberately embarrassed and said: "Little girl, you are a layman at first glance, how can it be so easy to make a dress, not to mention that it takes a lot of time to make it as exquisite as you request."
It will never be completed today, and it will be the day after tomorrow at the earliest. You can take it the day after tomorrow, I promise to make you a hundred satisfied. ”
Jiang Cheng'er was worried, it was too time-consuming to come to the town for a long time. It's not that she hasn't made clothes, so she is said to make a small shoulder, and the skilled tailor will hurry up and get out today.
And the seamstress said that it would be acquired at the earliest, and it felt perfunctory.
"I'm in a hurry to use it, and besides, I can't get it the day after tomorrow. If you don't forget it, I won't do it yet, I'll trouble you, auntie. Jiang Cheng'er thought about it and put away the white fox fur.
"What? You delayed me for half a day, and finally said that you wouldn't do it, you fooled me! The seamstress suddenly raised her voice, looking very annoyed.
Jiang Cheng'er reasoned: "I apologize for disturbing you." But I've only been here for a short time, and I've only said a few words, and I haven't delayed you for long. Besides, I didn't make any orders with you, and the clothes were made here with you. You're doing business with the door open, and I'm going to come in and ask if it's okay? ”
"Little girl, you have a lot of reasons. The old lady is too lazy to grind with you, you can go if you want to, and the fox skin will stay. "The seamstress raised her eyebrows and turned into a shrew.
Jiang Cheng'er was furious, she met a scoundrel, and dared to love her because she had taken a fancy to this fox skin and wanted to take it for herself.
Jiang Cheng'er said angrily: "I've seen a lot of scoundrels, but I've never seen you like this, I don't want to quarrel with you, I only warn you, you can't ask for things that don't belong to you." Leave! ”
Jiang Cheng'er didn't stop after speaking, and walked out.
"Catch the thief, catch the thief! Someone stole something from my store! The seamstress shouted at the top of her voice, quickly squeezed out of the gap, and chased after Jiang Cheng'er.
With the shout of the seamstress, two fierce-looking stout men ran out of the shop next door and stopped Jiang Cheng'er.
"Catch her, it's this thief, she stole the fox skin from my shop." The seamstress "cries out to catch the thief".
Two vicious men grabbed Jiang Cheng'er's arm one left and one right, the white fox fur fell to the ground, and the seamstress picked it up excitedly and held it in her arms.
"Stop! In broad daylight, you have broken the law by robbing others of their property. Hurry up and give it back to me, or I'll report it to the police! Jiang Cheng'er shouted angrily.
"Nonsense, you poor sour hillbilly, where did you get such a valuable thing? This white fox fur is the treasure of my town store, and it was stolen by you, you thief, I still want to report to the official. "The seamstress hit a rake.
"Shameless, let's go to the official office now." Jiang Cheng'er turned to the two fierce men and said, "Don't listen to her lies, let me go, I won't run, I'm going to go to the official office with this female robber." ”
"We can trust her character, look at your thief, don't look like a good person, we will send you to see the official." The fierce man Wu said with a vicious voice.
The seamstress smiled triumphantly and winked at the two fierce men, "This little thief has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and looks very cunning, you should be careful, don't let her escape, lest she cause trouble." If it doesn't work, ......"
Jiang Cheng'er was shocked, there was a secret plan in the words of the thief's mother-in-law, it turned out that they were in a gang.
Jiang Cheng'er immediately shouted "help", but this was a corner, there were few pedestrians, and "no one" heard her cry for help.
"Little girl, look at what you call it." The seamstress smiled sinisterly and took out a handkerchief to block Jiang Cheng'er's mouth.
The two fierce men dragged Jiang Cheng'er to their shop and tied her to a chair with a rope.
Jiang Cheng'er couldn't shout, couldn't break free, was trapped in a den of thieves, and in the face of two vicious gangsters, her life could be in danger at any time.
It was false to say that she was not nervous or afraid, she knew that the more panicked she was, the worse it would be, and she had to stay calm and find a way to get out.
No one knew that she was locked up in a black shop by gangsters, and no one would come to save her, she could only save herself.
Wu Er glanced at Jiang Cheng'er and said to his brother Wu Da: "What should we do with this black girl, do we scare her and let her get away, or do we ...... her?"
Jiang Cheng'er's heart hung high, and she didn't know what Wu Er's unfinished sentence meant?
Wu Da frowned: "Didn't you listen to the crack next door, this black girl is not a good stubble, let's let her go, if she runs to report to the official, we will also suffer." ”
When Jiang Cheng'er heard this, she quickly changed her strategy, she pretended to be weak and timid, shrunk her shoulders, and let out a whining cry. and shook his head vigorously, saying that he would never dare to report to the official, but only to save his life.
Seeing this, Wu Er said, "Big brother, look, she's frightened. How bold can a little girl be, bluff her a few words, she doesn't dare to say anything about today's affairs. ”
Wu Da was disgusted: "Second brother, you are a fool, you are the least coaxed by women." The sewing got a fox skin for nothing, and sold it on the set, at least for a tael of silver. Our brothers worked hard to pull a few copper plates from her fingers, it was not worth it.
Since this fat sheep was bumped into by us, we should make a fortune today. ”
"Big brother, you mean to sell her to ...... Nuan Xiang Lou? Wu Er gasped and said worriedly, "Big brother, didn't we say it last time, and we will stop after finishing the ticket." Sun catches the head of the goblin, and it will be miserable if he catches it. ”
Jiang Cheng'er was taken aback, the damn gangsters were going to sell her to the Qinglou!
Wu Da pouted: "What do you know, without the cover of an official, the Qinglou can be prosperous in the town." If Sun Zhutou sees us sending a girl to Nuanxiang Building, he will also turn a blind eye.
Let's sit and eat, and if we don't get a few more money to return to our roots, we will close the shop left by my father when he died, and my father will not be able to crawl out of the grave and strangle the two of us. ”
Wu Er gritted his teeth: "Dry!" Don't do it, don't do it! But this village girl is so dark that she can't sell it for a few dollars. The white one last time was sold for two taels of silver, and later it became the top brand in the building, and the old bustard made a lot of money. ”
Wu Da scolded the old bustard a few words with swear words, and said: "We have a big loss, I will be angry if you think about it." In addition to her dark face, her facial features and figure are quite standard, she covers her white in the building, and her posture is no worse than the previous one, and she can also be worth two taels. ”
Damn, sell her as a commodity, Jiang Cheng'er suppressed her anger and panic, and stomped on the ground to make a sound, indicating that she had something to say.
Anyway, she couldn't run, and listening to what she said, Wu Da waved his hand, and Wu Er took the handkerchief out of Jiang Cheng'er's mouth.
"You sell men who are frightened, and sell them for two taels of silver. If you let me go, I can give you three taels, and you will not only earn one tael more, but also lose some risk......" Jiang Cheng'er exhaled a few times and persuaded in a sincere tone.
Wu Er was moved, Wu Da thought about it, and finally refused, he was afraid of being deceived by Jiang Cheng'er and taking greater risks.
Wu Da blocked Jiang Cheng'er's mouth with a handkerchief again, and Wu Er immediately brought a sack bag and wanted to put Jiang Cheng'er in it.
"Slow, big brother, I haven't opened meat for a month, let's vent my anger with this girl first." Wu Da looked Jiang Cheng'er up and down and let out a few lewd laughs.
Wu Er was stunned: "Big brother, it's worthless if you break your body." ”
"It's okay, the one I sold last time, the bustard didn't have a physical examination. Cut, horizontal and vertical is two taels of silver, you can't let the bustard make cheap in vain, let's try it first and then sell. Wu Da couldn't wait to untie his belt.
"Our brothers are blessed and share hardships, big brother, you come first, I'll go outside to watch the wind." Wu Er smiled and walked away.
Damn whore, you can't let him get away with it! Jiang Cheng'er secretly clenched her fists, it was a big deal to fight to the death with him.
Wu Da had already taken off his coat in a hurry, he looked at Jiang Cheng'er, who was tied tightly, and thought to himself about untying the rope first.
He expected that Jiang Cheng'er was a thin woman who couldn't escape from the palm of his hand, so he didn't take precautions.
Jiang Cheng'er was right at his careless psychology, and at the moment when the rope was just untied and her hands were free, she seized the opportunity, opened her bow left and right, and her fists came out together, smashing Wu Da's left and right eye sockets at the same time.
Wu Da let out a few muffled snorts in pain, his eyes turned black, and he was dizzy.
Jiang Cheng'er took advantage of the momentum to pursue, picked up the chair, and smashed Wu Da's head with all her strength.
Wu Da's stout body fell to the ground, and Jiang Cheng'er cooperated with the oops.
"Tsk, the battle inside is quite fierce, and the big brother is mighty." Wu Er mistakenly thought that the sound in the room was made by Wu Da doing strenuous exercise.
Jiang Cheng'er wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and temporarily solved a gangster, but how to escape from the house was a difficult problem.
Wu Er was guarding outside, she couldn't walk through the door, she could only climb the window.
Jiang Cheng'er tiptoed to the window and slowly pushed the window little by little, avoiding making a sound.
The escape channel had been opened, and when he successfully beckoned to Jiang Cheng'er, the window frame suddenly broke and fell to the ground, making a loud noise.
The windows were in disrepair and had been broken, and they were usually hidden, but Jiang Cheng'er didn't touch the situation and was betrayed by it.
Wu Er heard the unusual sound and quickly ran to the window from outside the room to check.
Jiang Cheng'er's feet had just stepped on the windowsill, and before she could escape, she was blocked by Wu Er.
Wu Eryin smiled pitifully: "Okay, you are a little thief, you have a lot of ability, and you want to jump out of the window to escape, what about my eldest brother?" ”
"He's not good, cowardly, second master, you look much stronger than him, come on." Jiang Cheng'er smiled charmingly and coaxed Wu Er first.
