The guy on the side quickly punched out twenty catties of soju, packed the jar of clay pottery roasted wine, and put it on the counter, almost unable to put it down.

Chen Niao touched his pocket and apologized with a red face: "Sister, the silver given by the main family is not enough. I'll ask for the money. ”

"Tsk, a fangman is a fangman, and he picks and searches when he buys wine." Liu Tainiang's eyes fell on Chen Niao, and she suddenly laughed: "Why don't you follow that guy and come to my sister's store to be a running guy?" ”

Chen Niaoyi shook his head rhetorically: "The master's family is kind to me, and it is not good for one servant to serve two masters." ”

"I didn't expect you to be loyal, Wang Debao is lucky." Liu Tainiang was sour, but she also knew that the melon was not sweet, so she waved her hand and asked Chen Niao to go back quickly.

Chen Niao nodded yes, walked out of the wine shop and walked out of a street in the direction of Wang Debao's departure, and then went back to Du Baozhu's green tent carriage: "Little lady, I can see clearly, Wang Debao bought soju, a total of twenty catties." ”

"So much?" Lu Ming couldn't help but be surprised: "Is he going to get drunk to death because he has failed in business?" ”

"He's not such a cowardly man." Du Baozhu frowned slightly, but he couldn't think of what Wang Debao was doing when he bought so much wine.

Her gaze fell on Chen Niao and she thought for a while: "This is your first test, follow Wang Debao closely and see what he wants to do." ”

Chen Niao was shocked and clenched his fists: "Yes!" ”

Wang Debao originally planned to buy some soju wine at a low price by relying on his identity as the former shopkeeper, but he met Liu Tainiang who was crooked, and was seen by Du Baozhu, so he had to change to another wine shop.

"Don't add water to it!" While paying for the wine, he stared at the guy who was drinking: "It's all about this business, don't try to bluff me." ”

He stared carefully, and the guy who was drinking was stunned that he didn't find a chance to mix water, and as soon as he left, he was scolded by the shopkeeper.

Wang Debao didn't care about this, and returned to the bond store proudly with soju. Bolt the door panel, and drink in the dark.

Chen Niao couldn't get close, so he found a hidden place to hide, waiting for Wang Debao to show up again. However, before Wang Debao could wait, he first saw a figure that should not be here.

The man, dressed in an inconspicuous gray cloth shirt with a bulging mass hidden under his wide robe, made his way into a hostage shop vigilantly.

Chen Bird Huo Ran got up and shot out like an off-string arrow.

"Zhang Gan!"

Chen Bird's five fingers were tightly embedded in the man's shoulder, and with a sudden force, the man turned around like a spinning top, revealing a dark and slender face, which was Zhang Gan, the second leader of the beggar gang.

He was caught by Chen Niao, and his face couldn't help showing a trace of panic, but after the panic, he immediately calmed down, and instead showed a mocking smile: "You don't want to be a dog slave behind the ass of a daughter, what are you doing here?" Could it be that you're waiting for me here? Who handed you the letter? ”

Chen Niao's face was dark, and he couldn't help but tear open the placket of Zhang Gan's cover, and a blue cloth bag was immediately scattered on the ground, revealing a piece of jade pendant inside.

The jade pendant is white in texture and exquisite in carving, which is obviously not something that a little beggar like Chen Niao Zhang Gan should have. When Chen Niao saw it, his eyes immediately turned red, and he smashed his fist on Zhang Gan's face: "You steal the things of the master's house!" ”

"That little lady is so stingy, she has nothing but bedding and chopsticks, what can I steal from her?" After Zhang Gan was beaten, he was not convinced, rubbed his body and fought with Chen Bird.

"Then where did this jade pendant come from?"

"......" Zhang Gan's eyes rolled, and he refused to tell the truth: "Anyway, it's not that little girl's!" ”

The two of them didn't let anyone, so they fought at the door of the quality shop. Soon, a few more beggars came out of their hiding places and dragged the two into the deep alley.

"Let go of me!" In the end, it was the boss of the beggar gang, and no one dared to oppose him. As soon as he got out, he pressed Zhang Gan against the wall: "Say, where did the jade pendant come from?" ”

Zhang Gan struggled twice and couldn't get out: "What are you doing in a daze, help." ”

The beggars hesitated and didn't dare to step forward, and one of them said boldly: "Boss, Yu Pei is really not Du Niang's, you can let us go." ”

Chen Niao didn't let go, and there was a burst of cold light in his pale eyes: "We now have a stable errand, and we don't have to worry about food and clothing, why do we still steal?" ”

"Phew!" Zhang Gan spat out: "Why do treacherous villains care about us? ”

"Boss...... We, we don't want to be tea farmers, we want to go to Fujian to join the rebels. ”

Chen Niao was stunned for a moment, and the strength in his hand gradually dissipated: "You guys are going to leave now?" ”

Zhang Gan took the opportunity to break free from his hand, and gasped: "We are not like you, greedy for life and afraid of death." We're going to Fujian now, kill the dog officer, and do big things! ”

Chen Niao clenched his fists and looked at the other beggars, but they didn't dare to look at him, and they all looked away.

Here, they were the ones who fought the most in the past, and the small tea garden of the Du family couldn't keep their ambitions.

Chen Niao opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. I had to bite my lip stubbornly: "You can go, the stolen jade pendant must be returned." ”

Zhang Gan was the first to disagree: "Why? That's my jade pendant! ”

Chen Niao took out all the silver coins that Du Baozhu had given him before, held them in his palm, and held them in his palm, a total of three taels of silver: "That was stolen by you, and you must return it." These are the things I have saved, and I will use them for my travel. ”

Zhang Gan was not his opponent, so he couldn't grab it, so he had to glare at him angrily. Seeing that he was unmoved, he reached out and grabbed the silver: "This is what you owe us!" ”

With that, turn around and leave.

"Stop!"

Zhang Gan turned around and glared at Chen Niao fiercely: "What else do you want to do?" ”

"Who the hell does this jade pendant belong to?"

A look of disappointment flashed in Zhang Gan's eyes, and he sneered and hooked the corners of his lips: "It's Ah Xuan's, take it back and ask your master for credit." Let's go! ”

A few beggars hurriedly slipped away from the deep alley over the wall, leaving Chen Niao alone.

Looking at the corner of the wall where his companions had disappeared, the light in Chen Niao's eyes slowly faded, and it took a while to take Yu Peisai back into his arms and walk out of the deep alley.

At this time, the sun has been swallowed up by the mountains, leaving only a dazzling golden thread. Chen Niao slowly returned to the door of Wang Ji Coupon Shop, put his ear on the door panel and listened carefully, but found that there was no movement in the house.

Broken! Wang Debao is gone. The shadow of his partner's departure was quickly dispelled by surprise, Chen Bird's pupils contracted suddenly, and he hurriedly went around the backyard and climbed over the wall to enter.

The Wang Kee Coupon Store was a mess, full of bones and carob shells, and wine jars. Chen Niao counted, the wine jar here is much less than the one Wang Debao brought back, where is the rest of the wine jar?

He walked around the house a few times, and suddenly thought of the fabric that the little lady had just started, and had a bad guess, so he hurriedly ran towards the villa.

The sky was getting darker, and the farther you walked to the edge of the city, the fewer pedestrians became on the road, and there were hardly any people to be seen behind. Chen Niao ran desperately, and his internal organs hurt as if they were on fire, but he didn't dare to stop, for fear that if he was one step late, he would see a terrible scene full of fire.

But to his surprise, Qujiangfang was silent, not to mention the fire, and even the lights could not be seen.

Did he guess wrong, or did Wang Debao not have time to do it?

Chen Niao tried to catch his breath and checked around the villa several times, but did not see Wang Debao. In a secluded corner, I found a string of broken jars, and the strong smell of shochu still wafted through the air.

He picked up the wine jar and looked at it, it was indeed fired in the same kiln as the wine jar left in the coupon shop, but where did Wang Debao go?

With such doubts, he quickly returned to Du Mansion and reported the incident to Du Baozhu one by one.

"Wang Debao wants to set fire to the villa?" Du Baozhu was also shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly sent someone to deliver a message to the villa, asking for more patrols.

Yet the night passed, and nothing happened.

"It's all my fault." Looking at the shadow under the little lady's eyes, Chen Niao was full of guilt.

If he hadn't been distracted on the way, he wouldn't have lost Wang Debao's traces, and he wouldn't have kept the little lady awake all night. If it weren't for him, the little lady wouldn't have attracted a group of white-eyed wolves.

He thought about it, picked up the oil lamp on the table and poured it into his hand.

"What do you do?" Lu Ming's eyes were quick, and he quickly snatched the lamp back.

However, the stirring lamp oil still fell on the back of Chen Niao's black and thin hand, and a few blisters were scalded in the blink of an eye.

"It's all my fault." He is not good at words, he will only repeat this sentence.

"That's enough." Du Baozhu rubbed the corners of his forehead tiredly, this small body is really delicate, but he didn't sleep all night, and he had a headache and a swollen brain.

She looked at Chen Niao, who was eager to apologize for her crimes, and felt like a poor junior high school homeroom teacher, and the class was full of problem children.

"It's really wrong for you to be distracted halfway, but you also recovered the loss of property for the Du family, and the merits and demerits are offset, so this matter will no longer be considered."

"As for Wang Debao...... Du Baozhu bit his lip, and couldn't think of a clue for a while: "We still have our own things to do, so we don't have time to play with him." Just strengthen the patrol of the nursing home, and nothing else. ”

Chen Bird lowered his head, like a wolf cub in the rain, and Du Baozhu could almost see two drooping pointed ears emerging from the top of his head.

"Chen Bird, you are now my helper, you have to work for me, don't think about self-harm. You're hurt, and it's my business that's delaying. ”

She didn't have much experience with problem children, so she had to dryly tell Lu Ming: "Take him back to rest...... Remember to give him some medicine for the wound. ”

"Yes." Lu Ming wrapped his arms around Chen Bird's neck and forcibly pulled him out of the Four Seasons Garden.

"Okay, didn't the little lady say that she didn't care? What are you doing with your face down? Lu Ming looked down at Chen Bird, and suddenly had the idea that this kid was more suitable than him to follow His Highness as a secret guard.

However, thinking of Hefeng's bare ears, he hurriedly threw this thought out of his mind, and instead concentrated on dealing with Chen Niao: "If you really feel that you can't live with the little lady, you should cheer up and do things well and share the worries of the little lady." ”

Chen Niao bit his lip stubbornly, and his eyes were shining.
