Chapter 320
After listening to the young man's words, the old man who was driving the car showed a very complicated expression on his face, and seemed to have some desire to say something, he looked around again, and made sure that the two good men were really gone, so he let out a sigh of relief and said slowly to the young man; "What a thank you!"
Then, without waiting for the boy to react, he added; "Let's go, go to your second uncle's house and think about it in the long run."
The carriage was sparkling, passed the city gate, and arrived in front of the Chen Ji pottery shop, did not stop, but went around to the back door, knocked on the door, and drove the carriage directly into the yard, after arriving in the yard, the second uncle who came out to open the door was very vigilant and locked the back gate, and the young man got out of the car, opened the lid on the back seat, took out a small iron box wrapped in black cloth, and instantly got into the house.
This night, the back house of Chen Kee pottery shop was always lit with a light until the sky was bright, and the light did not disappear.
The county seat, the county seat, the city of a county, the city, to Sheng Min, from the soil, is because around the city of Shengmin, to build a tall and solid wall, called the city wall, an important city, often inside and outside the construction of two city walls, in order to distinguish from the outer city wall, the inner city wall is often called Guo, Guo Kuo communicates, so there is the title of the city.
Linyuan County does not seem to be such a very important city, so it is not surprising that he only has a city wall that is no more than a foot high, maybe it is to show peace, maybe it is really for the convenience of businessmen, of course, it is more of a well-designed move made by the county magistrates in order to publicize their political achievements, in order to win a good reputation, and in order to be promoted.
So, Linyuan County has not closed the city gate at night for a period of time, where did the guards and soldiers who guarded the city gate go, it is said that because the guards of the prison cells were not enough, so, they all changed careers to become jailers, of course, there is also such an explanation, the name is for the convenience of businessmen, convenience for the people, in fact, but it is for them to secretly traffic in illicit salt to open the door of convenience, just imagine, if the soldiers guarding the city gate find that the smuggler and the county commander colluded together, then how should it be?
Of course, the above is gossip, and it can also be said to be to better explain why Linyuan County does not close the city gate at night.
Having said that, when Uncle Chen entered the city gate cave with the carriage, Wen Niang and Xiaoyue sat in the carriage, and saw the young Chen Yin and the second uncle who came to pick up their heads, and took advantage of him to look outside and ask the second uncle, holding the black pearl, stealth out of the car, under their noses, along the city gate hole into the city, and looked up at the black city wall, secretly thought about what it should be like to walk on the city wall at night.
It was the first time that the two of them had the leisure to look at the city walls in the dark, and as to why, they could not say, perhaps the main reason was that they had completed a task that they had never thought of, and perhaps, they were happy because they had taken revenge, really, perhaps!
Wen Niang and Xiaoyue looked at the city wall secretly for a while, until Chen Yin and their carriage galloped away from them, and then walked along the road towards the county seat, the city with the city wall is not big, the two of them walked through two streets, looked up, in front of them was Jiang Ji live fish shop, this is home.
The two of them strode to the door of the live fish shop, in fact, from a long distance, they had already seen the light shining in the house, so when they arrived at the door, Wen Niang took the lead in raising her hand and knocking on the door; "Boom, boom," the voice is not very loud, but it is very rhythmic.
After a while, there was a sound of questioning in the room; "Who?"
The woman's voice, Wen Niang and Xiaoyue, who were standing outside the door, tried to argue, wondering if it was Jiang Bai or Qiaofeng, but until the door opened, they didn't hear who the voice was.
At the opening of the door, there was a middle-aged woman standing, Wen Niang and Xiaoyue saw clearly that it was Jiang Bai's aunt, standing in front of them, and the two of them exclaimed; "Grandma!"
Then Xiaoyue asked again; "Grandma, when did you move here?"
Aunt Jiang Bai did not answer their hurried questions, but asked with a suspicious face; "Who are you?"
Where could Aunt Jiang Bai recognize the two men standing in front of him, so she had to ask suspiciously, Aunt Jiang Bai's question reminded Wen Niang and Xiaoyue, and they carefully reported their names; "Grandma, I'm Wen Niang, I'm Xiaoyue."
"Oh, looking at your appearance, it scared Grandma, I thought it was a bad person, let's go, hurry up and enter the house."
After Grandma Jiang Bai finished speaking, she looked behind Wen Niang and Xiaoyue again, and then dragged Wen Niang and Xiaoyue into the house very nervously. "Grandma, where is Jiang Bai?"
Aunt Jiang Bai sighed first, and then said; "It's out!"
"Where's Sister Qiaofeng?" Wen Niang was busy asking again.
Aunt Jiang Bai said; "I went out with Ah Bai."
"What are they doing, we said we were going to meet here!"
"Hey, this matter is very strange, I'd better cook for you first, haven't you eaten yet?"
Wen Niang immediately took it and said; "Grandma, we're not hungry, you better tell us where Jiang Bai and Qiaofeng went first, so we can go find them!"
Otherwise, there are leftovers and salted fish at home, and I will heat the leftovers for you, and when you eat, I will tell you, so as not to starve you, and now is the time for you to grow your body. “
Aunt Jiang Bai was afraid that she would be hungry for them, so she insisted on heating the rice, and brought it to the table again, and saw Wen Niang and Xiaoyue picking up the rice bowl and eating, so she said; "When I entered the house just now, you asked me when I moved here, let me tell you, the day after you left, I came here with Abba Jiang Bai and have lived until now."
In fact, it doesn't matter when Grandma came over, so neither Wen Niang nor Xiaoyue asked in this regard, but waited for Grandma Jiang Bai to continue the topic just now, and sure enough, after Grandma Jiang Bai finished saying that inconsequential sentence, she immediately said anxiously and nervously; "It's a shame that you're back, or I don't know what to do, you say it's not sad to worry about people!"
Wen Niang was busy swallowing a mouthful of food at this time, and comforted Aunt Jiang Bai; "Grandma, you don't have to worry, everything has us, you first tell me what's going on."
Aunt Jiang Bai, after listening to Wen Niang's comforting words, said anxiously; "It's not strange to you about this, I haven't figured out what the hell is going on until now."
Xiaoyue, who was chewing rice in her mouth, hurriedly asked; "What makes Grandma so difficult?"
Aunt Jiang Bai said; "Didn't you just ask me where they went, I told you, they came back earlier than the two of you can have more than an hour, when they came back, I was busy cooking for them, frying salted fish, and when they finished eating, asked me, where did Abba go, I just remembered, early this morning, before dawn, suddenly there was a knock on the door outside, and we who were about to get up felt a little surprised, your Abba said something Could it be Jiang Bai and they came back? Then he turned over and got out of bed, walked to the front room, and did not ask who knocked on the door, but hurriedly opened the door, and after the door opened, your father saw a slender and tall woman, who looked like a water snake, and immediately sighed in surprise, and I followed to the door.
I looked carefully at the woman in front of me, and found that she drew her eyebrows and sideburns, wiped her red lips, and deliberately drew the two sideburns to be slender, the most strange thing for me was that her eyebrows seemed to be drawn, and her waist was particularly thin, and she felt soft when she stood there. 'Dare to ask if you are the owner of this fish shop? ’
Jiang Bai Abba nodded yes, and the woman immediately cracked her mouth and smiled, and then continued; 'Boss Jiang, I am the proprietress of the backstreet garment store, my family came to the two rooms of relatives last night, and my family is going to entertain my relatives with the most delicious saury in our river today, but my family knows that there are very few saury in the river, and you have to get up early to catch it, so you sent me over early in the morning to buy all the saury that Boss Jiang caught today. ’
After saying this, the tall and slender woman took out a handful of five baht coins, put them on the counter, and then, looking at us, smiled, turned around and asked again; 'Boss Jiang, when will you be able to come back from fishing in the river?' ’
Jiang Bai Abba said; 'Even if I go to Jiangli now, I won't be back until noon at the earliest, so to be on the safe side, you can come and get the saury in the afternoon.' ’
After listening to Jiang Bai's answer, the slender woman turned around and bowed to us and spoke; 'So, it's hard work! ’
I turned my head, twisted my waist, and walked towards the back street, Jiang Bai Abba and I saw that there was a business early in the morning, and we were busy starting to open up, in order to save time and catch more saury fish, Jiang Bai Abba took two dry food, a piece of salted fish and a gourd wine, and walked towards the dock with a fishing net.
I didn't think about anything at noon, I was still busy in the shop, and at ten o'clock in the afternoon, I thought his father should come back, so I went to the door to greet him several times, but although I went out several times I still didn't see his father's figure, at this time I was worried that the woman who came to order the fish early in the morning came to pick up the fish, and hurriedly went to the dock, and when I arrived at the dock, I saw that other people's boats were almost docked, so I asked a boatman, and the man told me that in the morning in the river, I also saw his father rowing a boat to catch saury, and he didn't come back at this time, Maybe I didn't catch enough, so I went to a deep place again.
