In addition, the temperature plummeted the next day, and in the evening, the wind tightened, the sky was overcast, the cold air hit people, and there were drops of rain from time to time.

  Wang Dacheng's carriage stopped on the side of the street, and from time to time he lifted the curtain to look at the fish shop, and when the door was closed and the lights were turned off, he could pass through the hall and enter the joy of fishing and water in Xiao Niangzi's room.

  Tonight, the fish line is also strange, the next family has successively closed the store, only his house is brightly lit, Zhang Gui sat in front of the shallow bucket, scooped up the fat fish and fell to the ground, the magnetic scales opened the abdomen and took out the intestines, threw it into the water to wash, put the case on the shelf, remove the bones and shreds, and into the red grains and sesame oil to spread evenly, take the urn and put it in it, seal it with mud and cover it, pick it up and put it indoors for storage, and then come out after a while, sit down and pick up another fat fish

  He's slow here, not knowing that he's in a hurry.

  It was easy to see him lift the shallow bucket and pour the residual water into the ditch, and an old woman came, raised the fire and cooked rice, and the two of them had a meal, and then they put down the door panel, and after a while, the bright light through the gap was also extinguished.

  Wang Dacheng had been waiting in the carriage for an hour, his whole body was cold and stiff and shivering, seeing that no one passed by in the dark paint of the market, he hurriedly jumped out of the car, and the coachman did not know where to hide from the wind and rain, and he had no time to take care of these, so he hurriedly walked through the hall from his feet, the two walls of the hall were high walls, the black stretched out his hand and could not see his five fingers, and the wind that blew up one after another was really violent, and the people were pushed away by the wind, and their hearts were cold, their faces were like knives, and they did not dare to light the lamp, so they had to rub their hands on the wall a little bit, find the location of the kitchen door, and walk to the center of the hall. Suddenly, his hand touched a wooden door, and he was suddenly pleasantly surprised, and with a slight push, it really opened with a creak.

  Wang Dacheng suddenly came to his senses, and his mind was full of waiting to hug Xiao Niangzi and use her to warm his body and bones to comfort him for the pain of waiting for a long time.

  There was no light in the room, so he called in a low voice: "Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao." Suddenly, the air flowed, his footsteps staggered, and an open-mouthed sack came down, and he stretched out his hand and kicked his legs and struggled, and his hands and feet were tied by ropes, and he didn't know where to drag, and someone shouted: "Finally, this fish-stealing thief has been caught, and we will squat for a few days in vain, and we must teach you a lesson today." ”

  Wang Dacheng was shocked when he heard this, and he had already lost the heart of stealing incense and jade, and suddenly there was a huge pain all over his body, it turned out that he had been beaten with a few rods on his shoulder, back, waist and legs, and couldn't help but beg for mercy loudly: "You recognize the wrong person, I am not a fish thief." ”

  "Dead duck has a hard mouth, you are not a fish thief, how can you get into the storage room where the fish is hidden?"

  "Keep him sober." There was a deep voice with a smile.

  Wang Dacheng was still about to argue, but suddenly a bucket of salty and foul-smelling cold water was splashed, and he was suddenly drenched in cold, his clothes were soaked, and the cold pierced his muscles and bones, and he couldn't stop shivering.

  "Do you want to pour another bucket?" Someone asked.

  Wang Dacheng yelled vigorously: "Don't pour it again!" I am promoting Wang Dacheng, and I came to the meeting at the invitation of Mrs. Xiao, not a fish thief, you can return my innocence if you come to her. ”

  "It doesn't seem to be sober yet." It was still the same low and smiling voice: "Keep pouring until he admits to being a fish thief." ”

  Bucket after bucket, and the noise continued.

  The window sash seemed to be wide open, and the cold wind that poured in was blowing on the sack, Wang Dacheng felt that he was the fish that the guy fished out of the shallow hugging basin, and was thrown to the ground.

  He was frightened, and shouted with all his strength: "I am a fish thief, don't kill me!" ”
