Chapter 478 The Strange Courtyard
Xiao He and Mu Churan paid attention to the surrounding environment to prevent the killer of the dark rain from suddenly jumping out to stop the two, although this possibility was extremely unlikely, and they gently and slowly walked towards the passage on the right.
Naturally, some people were inevitably bumped into along the way, but, strangely, the descendants of the Liu family were all in a hurry, not to mention asking them, even if they dragged one person to stop, that person was not happy, and ran away from them.
"What's going on?" Xiao He was a little strange, why are all these people like this? They were busy as if something big had happened.
"Well," Mu Churan also had doubts, pondered for a while, and said, "Don't worry about it yet, let's move forward first." ”
The two continued to walk forward in the name of asking the housekeeper to get the money for the vegetables.
After a while, the passage was over, and the two came to the same passage again. But this passage is different from the one with only walls and no homes, and on both sides of this passage are large and small houses.
Looking through the crack in the door, you can see people walking back and forth in the courtyard, probably a maid or a small servant.
But just like before, these people were all anxious and moved very quickly.
Xiao He thought about it, walked to the door of the family at random, stretched out his hand and pushed, the door creaked open, and the people who were walking in the yard suddenly stopped, frowned at the two of them, and shouted, "Who is it?" ”
At the same time, the things in his hands were clenched, as if they were ready to attack at any time.
Xiao He secretly said in his heart that it was not good, isn't this a human room? Why did someone with martial arts suddenly appear? And judging from the other party's walking posture and the strange weapons in the other party's hands, this person is not a person with low martial arts.
However, this is not the time to think about this, Xiao He hurriedly pinched Mu Churan, and then pretended to be sad, and said the intention, "I originally sent food, but I don't know why, the housekeeper didn't give money." The two of us came for the first time, and we didn't know the rules and forgot to ask for them. When I got home, Lao Li Tou asked, and then I remembered that I forgot to take the money for the dishes, so I came in and asked the housekeeper to get the money. ”
"Oh?" The man on the other side was about forty or fifty years old, and his temples were already a little gray, but judging by the bulging flesh on his body, his body was still very strong.
He didn't fully believe the words of the two, but he didn't disbelieve it either, there are many Liu families, and anything can happen.
"And who's that butler you're looking for?" The man asked again.
Xiao He hurriedly replied: "It's such a tall person," he gestured on his head, and then said, "Round face, slightly fat, wearing a blue robe, a black hat on his head, small eyes, can you speak," Xiao He hesitated for a moment, and showed a peasant woman's unwillingness to offend the Liu family to the fullest, and then said, "It's very polite." ”
"Hmph," as soon as the last sentence came out, the person on the other side snorted coldly, polite? No one in the Liu family's housekeeper spoke politely. Those people are all the same in front of people and the same as in the back, which makes people look down on them.
However, looking at the looks of the two old peasants in front of them, they don't look like people from rich families, and the money for those vegetables may be their living expenses for a few days, if they are gone, they won't even have to eat.
He also suffered a lot when he was a child, and he knew the difficulty of not having money, so after listening to Xiao He's narration, he didn't feel too embarrassed, but found a little guy and asked the guy to take the two of them out to find the housekeeper, and asked the housekeeper to give money to Xiao He and Mu Churan.
The little servant respectfully agreed, and led Xiao He and Mu Churan out of this weird courtyard.
Before leaving, Xiao He glanced again, the four doors of this room were closed, and even the windows were not opened, in such a gloomy weather, even if the windows were open, they couldn't see the inside clearly, let alone not open the windows.
Moreover, the strange thing is that this person seems to have a high status, and he can also make the little guy of the Liu family, and the little guy is also very respectful, but why does he live in the courtyard of the next person?
According to the rules of the general large family, the housekeeper with a little status will not squeeze together with the people, but has a separate house outside, and there are small maids and maids waiting at home.
Xiao He's mind turned quickly, this person's behavior and actions seemed a little unreasonable, it seemed that there was something wrong with this house.
At this time, Mu Churan also discovered this problem, especially the little guy who took them out, respectfully in front of that person, and didn't dare to say a superfluous word, but after bringing them out, he began to make a lot of nonsense, as if he had saved them.
And the little guy also inadvertently revealed a message that that place is indeed important.
"Do you know what you just stumbled into?" The little servant tilted his head, looked at people with nostrils, and said, "Let me tell you, although I haven't been in there, but that person, but the old worshipper in our house, is the person who follows the master, and the fact that the master can send him here shows that the place is very important." If it weren't for his kindness, you would have died by now, and it's not a place where anyone can enter. ”
Listening to the little guy's words, Xiao He and Mu Churan glanced at each other with a smile, it seems that there is something greasy in that place.
In addition to this sentence, the other words of the little guy are nothing more than boasting about how strong their martial arts are, how they walked the rivers and lakes when they were young, how they fought all over the rivers and lakes, how they were subdued by their master, how they served in the Liu family willingly, etc., which simply revealed Zheng Xianfeng's past.
Xiao He looked at this little guy with a real pockmarked face, but he really thanked him. Originally, if he didn't say it, when they went outside in a while, they would also pull someone to ask who the person was, and inquire about his origin, but I didn't expect that in order to show off his skills, this little guy told the details of the person cleanly, but they didn't need to bother anymore.
But although he didn't have to bother anymore, Xiao He couldn't be happy, because from the mouth of the little guy, it was obvious that Zheng Xianfeng was not easy to mess with, and judging from his past achievements, that person was not a good stubble.
Even if Jiang Yufeng and Xu Moyang are here, whether they can deal with him or not is still two words.
After all, Jiang Yufeng is a person who has only become famous in the last decade or two, and Zheng Fengfeng is obviously a very famous person thirty years ago.
Thinking of this, Xiao He became more and more determined to explore the Liu family.
Maybe her parents were really arrested. Moreover, they only saw a person with strong martial arts, but whether it was the Liu family or the Dark Rain Organization, it was impossible for there to be only one such person.
Xiao He sighed secretly, it seems that Ah Hu and they are only clearing the periphery of the dark rain, the real masters inside the dark rain, and none of them have been killed.
Xiao He's mood was a little heavy, if that person was looking at that door, how would they enter?
Just when Xiao He and Mu Churan lowered their heads and pondered, the little maid took them to find the housekeeper just now, and when the housekeeper heard this, he took out dozens of dollars from his body without hesitation, threw them to them, and said, "Okay, take it, this is your money, I naturally won't rely on it." ”
It's just that because of the force when throwing it, a lot of money fell to the ground, and some of it even slipped away.
Mu Churan shook his hands, when did he suffer this kind of humiliation? Go up and make the man look good. Xiao He hurriedly grabbed him, smiled at the housekeeper first, and then persuaded: "Boss, there are still children waiting to eat at home, let's pick up the money first." ”
The housekeeper and the servant, as well as a few people from the Liu family, stood aside and laughed, watching the two of them bend over and squat on the ground to pick up the copper plates that the poor Liu family subordinates would not even look at.
Another subordinate pointed at Mu Churan and sneered: "What a stupid big man, he has grown so big, but he is afraid of his wife, and a woman's words will make him lose his temper." ”
"Haha, that's it," someone chimed in, "what can a man who is afraid of his wife do?" It's just a matter of looking at a woman's eyes. He also called Mu Churan, and sneered, "Silly big man, let me ask you, if your wife asks you to wash his feet, will you wash them?" ”
Mu Churan's anger had reached its peak, and when he saw these people chattering and insulting him, insulting Xiao He, he got up suddenly, threw the money he had picked up in his hand to the ground, and was about to step forward.
"Yo, it's still going on." When the little guys saw it, not only were they not afraid, but they rolled up their sleeves and stepped forward.
Xiao He is in a hurry, what does Mu Churan want to do when he is fighting here at this time? Doesn't he want to save the people of Weiyang Palace? Don't you want to know the whereabouts of her parents?
Really, Xiao He was helpless, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Mu Churan again, and persuaded in a low voice: "Boss, forget it, bear with it, the children at home haven't eaten yet." The second child is still waiting for the money to grab the medicine. You're comfortable here for a while, and it's time for the children of the family to suffer. ”
"No," Mu Churan's anger almost overflowed, "I can't"
"Boss, I beg you," Xiao He knelt down at Mu Churan's feet, covered his face and cried, "Even if you look at the child's face, pick up the money and go home." You can't just watch your child die. ”
After speaking, he cried, and the cry was so sad that an old cook in the kitchen couldn't bear it, holding a noodle in one hand and a basin in the other, and persuaded a few little people: "Everyone, they are all raised by their parents, and you have enough to practice them, so give them the money and tell them to leave." Haven't you heard that there are patients in their homes? You can also accumulate some virtue for yourself, although the retribution of Yin Si will come late, but it will not not come. ”
"Dead old man, what do you say?" The status of this old chef is obviously not high, and as soon as his words come out, a little guy jumps up and scolds.
The old man looked at Xiao He and Mu Churan, shook his head and sighed again and again, and was about to say a few more words, when suddenly a nice female voice came, "Why is there no one?" ”
When the little servants heard this, they immediately threw down Xiao He and Mu Churan in surprise, ran to the woman's side, and asked earnestly, "What does the girl want?" ”
