Chapter 253: Why not give it a try

Song Lingyue was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted: "That is to say, those robbers and thieves, as long as they see the customers in the money village who is followed by the dart master, they will know that person will take out at least one hundred taels of silver?" Doesn't that increase the risk? ”

Qi Mo nodded, seeing Song Lingyue's confused face, he explained:

"It does increase the risk, but the money village is generally opened in the downtown area, and there are not so many robbers who will dare to rob the street, and the security of Jizhou Mansion is really good, and there are arresters patrolling the streets every twelve hours."

As soon as Qi Mo's words fell, Song Lingyue happened to see Zhang Hu and Liu Bao patrolling the street wearing fast uniforms and carrying knives.

Zhang Hu and Liu Bao are not low in height, with a knife at their waists, but they also look majestic, and they are helping an old woman sort out the vegetables and fruits in a place at this time.

Seeing this, Song Lingyue and Qi Mo also rushed to help, and several people helped the old woman tidy up the stall, and the old woman nodded and thanked a few people, and pushed the stall towards the market.

Zhang Hu immediately smiled when he saw that it was Song Lingyue, "Isn't this Doctor Song?" I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

"Yes! Are you on patrol? It's really hard work. Song Lingyue also smiled.

Zhang Hu touched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Doctor Song, you are the only one who will say that we have worked hard, and others see us wearing this tolerance uniform and carrying a knife, and they only think that we are fierce." But we also want to be smiling all day long, but we are all happy, and the prisoner is still afraid when he sees us! ”

Song Lingyue nodded understandingly: "It's all for the safety of the people, the more powerful you look, the more the people will feel safe." ”

"If only everyone thought so with Doctor Song." Liu Bao on the side couldn't help but interject, and after speaking, he felt speechless and closed his mouth, constantly rolling the clods with cloth shoes, looking depressed.

Song Lingyue glanced at him curiously, Zhang Hu smiled, and said to Song Lingyue:

"Doctor Song, you don't know, Liu Bao's family found him a family a few days ago. He and the girl met a few times, and they had a good impression of each other, and they had talked about it well, and in a month they were going to marry the girl, and this kid was as happy as a flower every day.

"As a result, the parents of the pearl girl heard that Liu Bao was on an errand in the yamen and was another catcher, so they immediately refused, and they did not allow the pearl girl to meet him again.

"I see!" Song Lingyue smiled, saw Liu Bao's depressed face, and comforted:

"I see that Liu Chaye is a talent, upright, in fact, quite secure, that girl is unwilling to accept it, in fact, it may not be disgusted, she should also be a little worried.

"After all, you guys who do fast catching, so to speak, have your head pinned to the waistband of your trousers. It is normal for the girl's parents to have worries in their hearts, and Liu Chaye should also understand.

"However, after all, this is what the girl's parents mean, what does the girl mean, does Master Liu know?"

"I didn't dare to ask her, what is the difference between what her parents mean and what she means?" Liu Bao was a little excited.

Song Lingyue hurriedly said: "Of course it's different!" Miss Pearl is a Miss Pearl, Miss Pearl's parents are Miss Pearl's parents, and they are not the same person, how can they be the same idea? Don't you want to know what Pearl Maiden really thinks? ”

"What if you know what pearls think? Her parents don't agree, so what can I do? Liu Bao showed a painful look on his face, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said:

"Maybe I should quit my job of catching fast and find another job, maybe Pearl's parents will be willing."

"Liu Bao! Are you really going to quit for that pearl? It's not like you! Zhang Hu raised his tone and slapped his shoulder with some dissatisfaction.

"I don't want to! However, if I do this business of catching fast, I will not be able to marry pearls. Liu Bao hung his head, not wanting them to see his red eyes, and his eyes were full of reluctance to catch the profession of fast catch.

"That's ridiculous." Qi Mo, who had never spoken, spoke at this time.

Zhang Hu and Liu Bao turned their eyes to Qi Mo in unison, and Qi Mo looked at Liu Bao and said:

"Just like Ling Yue said, you don't know what Pearl Girl thinks, but because of her parents, you have to give up the errand of catching yourself, maybe this can show your heart for Pearl Girl.

"But can you guarantee that you will never regret this decision for the rest of your life? Even if you give up your job as a fast catcher and marry the pearl girl, and do a new job that can be recognized by your parents-in-law, but after a long time, you really won't complain? ”

"I, I'm ......" Liu Bao lowered his head in a dejected manner, and his whole person was like a deflated ball, unable to say a complete sentence for a long time.

He looked at Zhang Hu on the side, then at Qi Mo and Song Lingyue, with grievances and reluctance, and said:

"I've wanted to be a catcher since I was a kid! I don't understand the big principles of supporting justice, punishing evil and promoting good, the main thing for me to catch fast is that I feel that this uniform of fast hunting is really majestic!

"I really like to walk down the street and people look at me with admiration in their eyes, and that makes me feel like I can be proud of myself."

He clenched his fists and closed his eyes fiercely, as if he wanted to force all the tears in his sockets back from his eyes, and his vocal cords trembled:

"But I really like pearls! Let me give up the pearl, I can't bear it! ”

"Why can't you think of the best of both worlds?" Song Lingyue interjected, "If the pearl girl doesn't mind your identity as a fast catcher, isn't that enough?" You can work with Pearl Maiden to convince her parents to make them fulfill you. ”

"Is that okay?" Liu Bao hesitated a little, "If Pearl has the same idea as her parents, then wouldn't I ......?"

Song Lingyue's expression became serious for a moment, she looked at Liu Bao, and said word by word:

"I just know that if you don't try, you won't have a chance, and if you try, there's at least a fifty percent chance that you can have the best of both worlds, so why not give it a try?"

Liu Bao didn't speak again, just quietly savored Song Lingyue's words repeatedly, and after a while, he finally made up his mind:

"I've decided, I'll go to Pearl's house tonight, have a good talk with Pearl, and ask her what she thinks."

"It's good that you can think so, I'm really afraid that you will quit your job as a fast catcher, and you won't be able to explain to Zhao Zhutou." Zhang Hu patted Liu Bao on the shoulder and said:

"In this way, don't go at night, I'll help you take the shift at this time, you go to the pearl girl's house early, buy some gifts and carry them over, help her family do some work, and strive to leave a good impression on her parents, her parents see that you are down-to-earth and diligent, and they can rest assured that they will hand over their daughter to you."

"Brother Zhang is right!" Liu Bao gratefully bowed his hand to Zhang Hu, "That scared errand will bother Brother Zhang, I'll go to the bazaar to sell some gifts and go to Pearl's house." ”

After saying that, Liu Bao really ran out like a leopard, and when he ran, it was like a gust of wind, and the hat on his head was about to be blown off, so he hurriedly pressed it with his hand, which looked a little funny.

When Song Lingyue and Qi Mo saw him like this, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made the two of you laugh." Zhang Hu also arched his hand towards Song Lingyue and Qi Mo:

"Seriously, Liu Bao, this kid, although his temperament has always been a little frizzy, but it's the first time I've seen him so concerned about one thing, it seems that he really likes that pearl girl.

"Thanks to the two of you for helping me relieve him, otherwise I really don't know how to persuade him, if he really quits his job as a head catcher, not only Zhao Tou'er will be worried, but I'm afraid that Lord Lin will also be worried."

"Where, that's just the time to meet." Song Lingyue smiled at Zhang Hu, turned her head and said to Qi Mo, "Let's hurry up and go to the tooth shop to find the big gold tooth, the sun will go down in a little later." ”

Zhang Hu on the side heard the conversation between the two and hurriedly stopped Qi Mo and Song Lingyue, who were about to leave:

"Doctor Song is going to the dental shop to find the big gold tooth? That's unfortunate, I just patrolled from the tooth shop, the big gold tooth is not in the tooth shop, saying that I made a small profit before, and I am happy in the gentle village at this time. ”

Song Lingyue showed a look of loss on her face, and Zhang Hu said:

"Don't be in a hurry, going to the tooth shop is nothing more than buying and selling slaves, or buying houses and farms. I can't help you, slaves, but there are houses and farms to sell on that street in Jizhou Mansion, and I know better than the big gold tooth. ”

"That's great!" Song Lingyue's eyes lit up, "We just want to go to Yahang to rent or buy a courtyard, preferably near Shuangcha Lane, if there is no near Shuangcha Lane, a slightly more secluded place is fine." ”

"And how big are you going to have a courtyard?" Zhang Hu asked again.

"Well, at least two in and two out, it's better to have an open yard, four or five side rooms, and it's better to have a small kitchen where you can cook some meals."

Song Lingyue listed her requirements and looked at Zhang Hu expectantly:

"I wonder if Brother Tiger has a suitable choice?"

Zhang Hu smiled slightly, heard the compliment in Song Lingyue's mouth, and called him Brother Tiger, which made Zhang Hu feel happy in his heart, and recalled it even harder, and said after a while:

"I'm afraid that there is no near Shuangcha Lane, and the shops and courtyards near Shuangcha Lane are particularly tight, so I'm afraid there is no way.

However, there should be a courtyard on Willow Street that is one street away from Shuangcha Lane that meets your requirements, and you can go and see it if you have time, but that courtyard is not for sale, so I don't know if it will work. ”

"Willow Street, yes? Yes! Thank you, Brother Tiger! If it weren't for you, we'd have had to make a trip for nothing today. Song Lingyue smiled at Zhang Hu, and took out a white porcelain bottle from her arms:

"I see that your face is a little gray, sweating and beading, have you been thirsty and don't want to drink recently, and vomit when you eat?"
