Qiu Se looked at it, and it was really the big man who received the small stone copper coin at noon, so he nodded and said, "That's right, it's him!" ”

Ai Laohu stood with a calm face for a while, and finally cursed fiercely.

"That, Master Tiger, could it be Zhang Mazi's ghost?"

"Who else but him! But he really hates you, and even when you move away, he hires someone to keep an eye on you. Ai Laohu looked at the autumn colors with some schadenfreude.

"What are you afraid of, isn't there still a tiger master here!"

Ai Laohu shook his head, "I can't follow you all the time, I guess now they are staring at you alone!" ”

Qiuse thought for a while and asked worriedly: "It's easy to be alone, I try not to go out alone." But will they break into the teahouse in the middle of the night? It's not good to stop bothering Qing Niang. ”

Ai Laohu's face became more and more gloomy, "Can't let them scare Qing Niang!" It seems that this pockmark really can't be kept. ”

"You're so nervous!" Qiu Se blurted out such a sentence, and after saying it, he regretted it a little, it sounded a little sour, and hurriedly asked, "Didn't you just say yesterday that you were going to clean up that pockmark?" Why do you still let him jump? ”

"Doesn't it take me time to step on the layout?" Ai Laohu snorted angrily, "It's all done now, just wait for that pockmark to be hooked." ”

"So when will he take the bait? Do you need my help? Autumn color couldn't help but ask, it's really uncomfortable to make people stare at it with bad intentions all the time.

"You? Cut, can you ......" Ai Laohu suddenly stopped in the middle of his striking words, and turned his head to stare at the autumn colors.

"Y-Do I have something on my face?" Autumn color was a little hairy, and subconsciously touched his face.

Ai Laohu came back to his senses and asked Qiushi, "Are you bold?" ”

"How dare you do it? What about being timid? ”

"If you're daring, help me fish out that pockmarked seed, and I'll think of a trick to get him in jail sooner; If you are timid, the cat will not go out at home every day, and I can guarantee that Zhang Mazi will not dare to mess around on the dock. Ai Laohu asked.

Autumn looked up, "You want to use me as bait?" ”

Ai Laohu squinted at her, "What's the matter, do you dare?" ”

Qiu Se snorted, "I dare to stab people with a knife, what else don't I dare." However, you have to keep me safe, or I'll tell you if someone dies! By the way, where's my dagger? Give me back. ”

Ai Laohu laughed, "Don't worry, I'll make sure you won't even hurt a single hair." He took out a small dagger with autumn colors from his bosom and asked Qiu Color, "Where did you get this dagger, the steel mouth is good." ”

"That's it, it cost nearly a tael of silver!" Qiu Se took the dagger and asked Ai Laohu, "Let me do it, say it." ”

"You ...... like that," Ai Laohu elaborated on what to pay attention to, until Autumn Colors said he fully understood.

Ai Laohu straightened his waist and rubbed the stubble on his chin, "Okay, then don't do anything else tomorrow, I'll ask someone to send the clothes in the morning, and you can change them and do as you say." ”

"Okay." Qiu Se nodded, knowing that Zhang Mazi was really going to be unlucky, he felt a lot more relieved, and asked happily, "What do you want to eat at night?" I'll do it for you. ”

"Don't eat it, I have to arrange this matter again, you tell Qing Niang." After speaking, Ai Laohu walked out of the teahouse and strode away.

Autumn closed the door and walked back to the backyard.

"Huh? Qingniang, why are you standing in the courtyard? "The autumn color can't help but be strange, she didn't come out when she was called out before, saying that she was afraid of tanning, why is she and Granny Cai both in the courtyard this time?

Qing Niang was a little uncomfortable, and laughed twice, "It's okay." ”

It turned out that Qiu Se pulled Ai Laohu aside to talk before Ai Laohu entered the house, which made Qingniang feel unhappy, and Granny Cai was gossiping on the side.

"Lady, have you seen it, Qiu Niangzi rushed up directly as soon as she saw someone, and she was about to catch up with that pink sister, which man suffered it? If you want me to say that you shouldn't be soft-hearted and let her live in, it's not you who sulk in the end. ”

"Maybe she really has something to do with Ah Shan!" What Qing Niang said was extremely unconfident.

"Cut, can't I tell you something?" Granny Cai sneered.

Qing Niang also stood up, thought about it and sat down again.

Granny Cai couldn't help but say when she saw the discomfort she endured: "Since the lady is not at ease, just follow to see it, is she shameless and afraid that others will know?" ”

So, the master and servant secretly came to the back door of the teahouse in front and looked in through the curtain. But I found that Ai Laohu and Qiu Se were just standing together and talking, and there was no overstepping action, and after watching it for a while, Qing Niang left the back door to complain about Granny Cai.

"It's all my mother-in-law's nonsense all day long, and I'm starting to be suspicious."

"The lady is really easy to deceive, they haven't done anything embarrassing now, who knows in the future! Besides, what do lonely men and widows have to say behind their backs, they are still so close! There is a widow in our village who is also regular on weekdays, at most she will meet and say hello, who knows that she is an authentic prodigal, and it is good to be in the grass with a wild man, and the white flesh and skin are called the man who herds the cattle to see enough. Granny Cai didn't believe that the two of them were innocent.

Qing Niang frowned, "Mother-in-law don't say these meaty words!" ”

Granny Cai tapped her mouth, "Hey, didn't I make that indecent woman angry?" ”

It just so happened that at this time, Qiu Se came back, and listened to the words of the master and servant, and after Qing Niang said that it was okay, she asked Granny Cai, "What did Granny Cai say just now?" What's not serious? ”

"Oh, I'll tell my lady about our village! There is a widow in our village who is not serious, and always mutters to the men in the village and talks behind people's backs. If you want me to say, this woman has to be serious, and she can't pounce on a man when she sees it! Granny Cai looked at the autumn color meaningfully and said.

"Huh." Qiuse didn't expect the two to say these words, and they had nothing to say for a while, only smiled awkwardly, and after thinking about it, there was something wrong, and the man muttered behind his back to talk, didn't he say himself and Ai Laohu? Could it be that Qing Niang misunderstood?

"I saw Zhang Mazi's person outside at noon, and I told Master Hu just now." Autumn color hurriedly explained.

Granny Cai screamed out, "Qiu Niangzi, that Zhang Mazi is here to find you, right?" Don't bother my lady! ”

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, there is Ah Shan!" Qing Niang reprimanded Granny Cai lightly.

Qiu Se also said: "Yes, Master Hu said that I would help clean up Zhang Mazi tomorrow, and Qing Niang and Granny Cai will not go out in the past two days." ”

"Huh? How can Ahsan ask you to help? How dangerous that is! Qing Niang said nervously.

"It's okay, Master Tiger has arranged everything." Seeing that Qingniang and the two really didn't mention anything serious or not, Qiu Se knew that her own explanation had played a role, and said secretly in her heart: It seems that you should pay more attention to talking to Ai Laohu in the future, she doesn't want to be treated as a third party! But these two are also strange, they are not young, why don't they get married? If they become relatives, they will naturally pay attention.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, the three women in the backyard of the teahouse were a little restless, until the hour came, and someone knocked on the door of the teahouse.

"Could it be that scoundrel Zhang Mazi?" Qing Niang nervously asked about the autumn colors.

"Granny Cai and Qing Niang will stay in the house first, I'll take a look." Qiu Se also played a drum in his heart, but he was afraid that it was someone arranged by Ai Laohu, so he quietly came to the teahouse in front, looked out through the gap in the grille, and found that there was a man in his thirties outside, with very bright eyes and a burden in his hand.

Maybe it's not Brother Ma's person, Qiu Ze pondered, and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

The man heard someone answer, and hurriedly said, "It was Master Tiger who asked me to send something." The voice was deliberately low, so that it would hardly be heard if it weren't for the autumn colors standing on this side of the door panel.

Qiu Se was sure that it was someone sent by Ai Laohu, and opened a fence plate to take over the burden, and the man handed over the burden and left without speaking, Qiu Se returned to the backyard and put the clothes directly outside, and then instructed Qing Niang and the two to lock the door and walk out of the teahouse alone.

"Qiu Niangzi really looks like a different person when she wears that smoky-colored clothes, and the tiger master is quite good at buying clothes for women." Granny Cai closed the fence and gossiped with Qing Niang.

Qing Niang stiffened her face, "If Granny Cai likes it, she will also go and ask Ah Shan!" Hum! With that, he turned around and entered the house.

"I ......" Granny Cai was stunned for a long time and couldn't help but slap herself in the mouth, why did she owe it so much, the tiger master had never bought a single dress for the lady, no wonder the lady was angry!

Autumn Color's gauze robe with wide sleeves and long skirts walked away in the wind, which was simply elegant, and the people on the dock were stunned. The big man who was staring at the autumn color also noticed it, so he followed the autumn color from a distance.

Out of the dock, there are not so many people next to her, and the autumn color can clearly hear the footsteps not far behind her, she walks fast, the footsteps behind are urgent, she walks slowly, and the footsteps behind are also slow. Qiu's heart was beating like a drum, and the hand holding the dagger was oozing sweat, and I don't know if what Ai Laohu arranged could be done? At this time, the autumn colors suddenly gave birth to a trace of remorse.

According to Ai Laohu's pre-agreement, Qiu Shi walked all the way to Chahua Street, walked forward slowly, and found that there was a person standing there at the corner of an alley carrying a rock sugar gourd and shouting, so he turned into the alley, walked in about three hundred meters, and there was a pot of red flowers outside a gate next to it, and Qiu Ze stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly, and the man who gave Autumn Colors clothes appeared in the door, he nodded slightly, and Autumn Colors hurriedly flashed in, and the door was then closed.

The big man who followed the autumn color saw that the target entered a house and stared not far away, and waited for half an hour and no one came out, so he was a little impatient, thinking that this place was close to Ma Ge's jujube courtyard anyway, and passed the letter to Ma Ge to let him tie people up when he went back in the autumn color, and handed over this work earlier to himself to gamble twice, so he picked up a stone from the ground and made a mark at the corner of the gate.
