"Poof." The autumn color almost squirted out, and the name Ai Laohu reminded her of the modern 'Love Tiger Oil'!

Fortunately, the shopkeeper didn't notice it, and only listened to the shopkeeper continue, "The tiger master is tall and big, and his face is fierce, which makes people tremble at the sight, and he is in charge of the security on this dock, and no little thief dares to pick a thorn!" It's that three meals a day don't matter who we eat at someone's house, and if we don't give money, we don't say that we will eat some meat and wine, alas, we dare to be angry and dare not speak. ”

"Then why don't you go to the county government to sue him?" Xiao Yanqing's face was uneven.

"Who is going to cause that trouble, I heard that the tiger master is a person with a background, and even the county master has to give him some face!" The shopkeeper is quiet.

"But this is too ......" Xiao Yanqing's words were not finished, and he listened to the greeting of Xiao Er outside, "Yo, Master Tiger, are you here?" Quick, please inside. ”

"Say no more." The shopkeeper heard Xiao Er's voice, instructed Xiao Yanqing, and went out, "Master Tiger is here, what to eat today?" ”

While talking, a big man walked in from outside the store, and he shouted while striding in: "Come to a bowl of noodle soup, I drank too much wine yesterday, and my brain still hurts now!" The money is recorded in the account, and it will be given to you at the end of the month. ”

"Yo, look at what you said, where can you still ask for money to eat a bowl of noodles in a small shop? Right when I invited you. The shopkeeper smiled and went to the back kitchen.

Xiao Yanqing had already buried his face in the bowl for fear of being discovered by the tiger master, and Uncle Zhang also hung his head deeply and accelerated the speed of eating. Autumn Se picked up the bowl and drank the noodle soup, while quietly looking at him.

This Ai Tiger is nearly 1.9 meters tall, sitting there quite a big Tuo, and wearing a soap coat, it is difficult for people to ignore it, his complexion is dark, half of his face is covered by a beard, and a scar on his forehead reaches the corner of his left eye, which is really scary to look at.

The more I look at the autumn colors, the more familiar I feel, as if I have seen them somewhere. Ai Laohu Xu felt the gaze of the autumn color, and suddenly looked up at the autumn color, his expression was serious, and his gaze was sharp. Autumn was startled, and the noodles in her mouth were almost coughed up.

But this glance also reminded Qiu Se of where he had seen this tiger master, wasn't he the catcher she met on the road when she returned to Chen's Mansion after completing her identity document in Qingchuan Mansion?! At that time, the mule cart she hired almost hit him, and the coachman was scolded by him, it turned out that he was actually the catcher of the county government of Qingshui Town!

Listening to what those people said just now, it was also the last two words in "corrupt officials and corrupt officials", but this had nothing to do with himself, Qiu Se pouted, no longer paid attention to this tiger master, and concentrated on eating noodles.

Ai Laohu looked at the autumn color for a while, and made sure that he really didn't know her, didn't understand why she stared at herself, and didn't think that she would take a fancy to herself. After making sure that there would be no threat to Autumn Color, Ai Laohu also ignored Autumn Color and waited for his face intently.

After eating the noodles, Autumn Color paid the bill and left the noodle shop. On the way, I inquired about how to get to East Fourth Street, and walked towards the home that did not belong to me.

East Fourth Street is where the deity's family lives, this is still Qiu Se spent money to sell her to the Chen Mansion Ya Yu to ask, there is not much news, only know that the family's surname is Ding, Qiu Se is the eldest daughter of the family, living in East Fourth Street in Qingshui Town.

East 4th Street is located to the east of Qingshui Town, and its prosperity is much worse than that of Zhenxi, which is close to the wharf. Along the way, Autumn found that not only the shops in the east of the town were much less than those in the west of the town, but also those shops that opened their doors to do business were lazily lying behind the counters, and the occasional customers who came to the door were also ignored, and they felt quiet walking on the street.

When passing by the dim sum shop, Qiu Se hesitated and turned back, she thought that after all, this was the first time she had met the Ding family, and it was better to leave a good impression, and besides, she couldn't say that she would have to rely on the Ding family in the future, so she bought two packs of mung bean cakes for twenty yuan.

Establishing a good relationship with the Ding family was something that Qiu Shi had just thought about in the noodle shop, and it was also decided because he was frightened by the inn last night.

Although Autumn is not afraid of a person's hard work, nor is it afraid of other people's strange eyes, but it is very dangerous to be picked by someone from time to time.

The autumn color that was decided in this way spent 18 yuan to buy two catties of pork ribs when passing by the meat stall, and then walked towards Ding's house with confidence.

"Auntie, may I ask, how to get to East Fourth Street?" Autumn saw an old woman watching a stall in front of the store, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask for directions.

The old woman held the soles of her shoes and said without raising her head: "Go further east, and pass two alleys." ”

Autumn thanked her and walked on, coming to the alley where the old woman had said and stopped. The alley was very deep, and most of the houses were closed, except for a few women sitting around the door, doing needlework and chattering.

The houses on both sides of the alley are very dilapidated, the gate is also mottled with old paint, the garbage basket next to the door exudes an unbearable smell, a swarm of flies hovering on it, it may have rained two days ago, the mud in the alley has not completely dried, and I accidentally stepped on the soft dirt.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the autumn color was a little hesitant for a moment, the environment here is too bad, even the farm in the Chen Mansion is not as good. The women saw the autumn colors at the entrance of the alley, and a young daughter-in-law in her twenties asked, "Big sister, what's the matter with you?" ”

Let's go back to Ding's house first, Qiu Se listened to the little daughter-in-law's question and hurriedly replied: "Sister-in-law, I'm looking for someone, where does Lao Ding's family live?" ”

Hearing that Qiu Se was looking for Lao Ding's house, several women looked at her strangely, and the little daughter-in-law who had asked her before pointed to the alley, "Go inside, the penultimate house." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law." As the autumn colors walked forward, you could still hear the voices of several women talking behind them.

"Why are you looking for Lao Ding's family again? It can't be that the fourth child of his family is causing some trouble, right? ”

"No, look at that woman is quite decent."

"Hehe, if you are really looking for Ding Laosi, then Mrs. Ding is still crazy with joy? Pick up a daughter-in-law for nothing. ”

"Ha, can Ding Laosi's thief and gambler still marry a daughter-in-law?"

……

Standing in front of the gate of Ding's house, Qiu Se frowned, this gate is worse than those who passed by before, the door panel is put together, there is no paint, not to say, it is uneven, some of the gaps between the two boards are not small, the garbage basket at the door is overturned to the ground, and there are still scolding voices in the courtyard.

Qiu Se looked at the door panel in front of him, and was thinking about which board was safer to knock, when the courtyard door was opened with a squeak, and a woman with a big belly and gray hair stood at the door, holding a broom and a shovel in her hand and was about to go out, she was startled when she saw a person standing at the door, "Girl, who are you looking for?" ”

opened his mouth, Qiu Shi didn't know what to say, didn't know the person in front of him, and didn't know what to call, so he paused for a while before asking, "Is this Lao Ding's family?" ”

"Yes, you are?" The woman looked at the autumn colors and felt sour in her heart, a little familiar and couldn't remember when she had seen them.
