Chapter 123: Framed
The rabbit lamp couldn't be divided, and Liu Wu helplessly picked up a small bag of soap, divided it into two parts, and handed one to the old man and said: "Senior, choose this soap horn as a prize, how about half of one person?" ”
The old man shook his head and said, "The old man never washes his clothes......
Liu Wu rolled his eyes, seeing that this old man was dressed like a peacock in the open screen, with flowers and branches, and he couldn't wait to engrave the words "I have money" on his face, so he naturally wouldn't do his own laundry.
Liu Wu sneered: "You can use it to take a bath......"
The old man widened his eyes and said angrily, "You girl is cursing me!" How can the bath be washed casually, the old decay only uses three bowls of water a year, scrubs the body, drinks the filthy water, and keeps it for a long time. This is a rule handed down from our ancestors......"
The catkins stroked his forehead again, and finally knew why the old man looked at the clothes brightly decorated, and why his face was wrinkled and ravines, and between the wrinkles and wrinkles seemed to be washed by the rain, the convex places were bright, but the recesses were hidden with black mud, and they could not be washed without hot water for three days and three nights.
I really don't want to discuss with the old man how many times a year to take the bath water, whether the bath water should be drunk, the catkins glanced at the prizes, the fan and other things can not be separated, and saw a pair of red candles with the thickness of the baby's arm, the catkins thought that maybe they could be one per person, and kept for the night to illuminate.
Liu Wu was just about to hand the old man one of the red candles, but the old man's eyes were already standing up, and he scolded angrily: "You bad girl, you have been a widower for decades, and you are looking for a house to fill in, but what do you mean by giving me a red candle?" Is it a curse that I can't find a lady to match a pair? ”
Neither left nor right, Liu Fu felt that his brain was starting to hurt again.
The old man squinted at the black-clothed man who was approaching, his eyes flashed, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "The old man is hungry and wants to eat in Jiangyin Restaurant, since the prizes can be exchanged for dishes, let's go inside to eat." ”
Liu Fu originally also had the meaning of eating, and asked the little second brother, and the little second brother agreed that the old man and the four members of the Liu family could share a dish, but they could only occupy one table, not separate the table.
The family was tired and hungry, especially Liu Mao, whose face had become a bitter gourd, and the four of them squeezed out of the sea of people, and then looked for a restaurant again, not knowing that it was going to be the Year of the Monkey.
Liu Wu is not a person who is rigid about small things, but she is just sharing the table, and she is not asked to have a treat, the old man has no opinion, and she naturally readily agrees.
When I entered the inner hall, the prize was just a plate of salt-baked peanuts.
At the insistence of the old man, the second brother brought another plate and counted them one by one with chopsticks, fortunately the peanuts on the plate were even numbers, otherwise Liu Wu even suspected that the old man would divide one of them into two pieces and divide them into two families.
Liu Wu summoned the shopkeeper and ordered three more specialties in the store, white-cut chicken, fried crispy meat and comb meat.
The old man took care of himself and ordered a pot of sorghum roast and three fresh vegetables.
Fresh vegetables are not uncommon in the ordinary spring, summer and autumn, and in the frozen winter, they can be described as inches and inches of gold, which is so expensive.
Just such a simple cabbage soup, boiled water spinach and garlic radish vegetables, these three side dishes, listening to the name and price of the dish reported by the little er, roughly the minimum is twenty taels of silver, and you can buy a small house in the town.
The most important thing is that the strong man who followed specially told Xiao Er to use a separate pot to cook it, use soybean oil to fry vegetables, and not the slightest fishy star can be seen.
Liu Wu couldn't help but sigh, this old man, really is a peacock with the screen open, how high-profile and high-profile he is, but such a high-profile person, how can he bear such a face that is indignant and difficult to swallow.
One table, a total of eight dishes, one of the four dishes of the Liu family, all of which are meat of big meat;
The old man's four dishes are all simple and elegant dishes.
The two ends are really distinct, and the well water is not flooded.
The old man was very particular about eating, and the strong man tried one dish at a time with a silver needle, and when he saw that there was no change, the old man began to eat slowly with the chopsticks he was wearing.
It doesn't match his sloppy image, one by one he hands it to his mouth, I don't see how the mouth squirms, and I don't see my teeth exposed, so I swallow it incomprehensibly, and the corners of my mouth will not even have a trace of oil left, and it is very clean.
After seeing the old man eating, he felt that he was very good-looking, and he was afraid that people would dislike him for being rude.
While a few people were eating, four men in black with solemn faces leaned in and looked at the table.
Liu Wu couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, although these four black-clothed people did not cover their faces like yesterday, but Liu Wu had an intuition, and he could even be sure that today's people were in the same group as yesterday's gang, and even the clothes of these people were from the hands of an embroidery girl.
Although the catkins are not popular, but the contact with the embroidery girl is a lot, and often design patterns, the willow buds are obsessed with which to read this needle and that needle, under the influence of the ears and eyes, the female red theoretical knowledge of the catkins has grown rapidly.
The clothes of this masked man seem to be the uniform standard of the usual large families and small houses, but in fact, the workmanship is very exquisite.
The clothes are the most wear-resistant and dirt-resistant coarse fabric, and the cuffs and trouser cuffs are light and tight, and the workmanship is far more elaborate than those made by ordinary people.
Especially in the cuff closure, it is not an ordinary single-line needle, but after a single-row needle, and then use the lock needle to return an inch, habitually crossed into a cross, and then change the knot and stuff it back into the cross.
This stitching method can effectively prevent the embarrassment of opening the thread due to the fierce movement, and it is also the female red habit of this embroiderer.
Yesterday and today used exactly the same kind of needle, and there is a high probability that there is a connection.
How did these people find here? What are you searching for?
Liu Wu's heart suddenly, although he was kidnapped by Cong Nan last night, he was wearing a mask on his face, and the masked man didn't know the true appearance of Liu Wu, but the people of Yamen and Huangjia Buzhuang knew that there were not a few people who were taken away by Liu Wu, as long as they used the silver to inquire, it was not difficult to find out.
If you find out that you were "saved" by Cong Nan, even if you have a hundred mouths, you can't tell clearly, with the determination that you would rather be wrong than let go of one person, the possibility of being chopped up like a melon and vegetable and losing your life is extremely high.
Unless, unless he can prove that he and Cong Nan are hostile relations, so that the "benefactor" relationship is cleared, Liu Wu suddenly regretted it, why didn't he make meritorious service at noon and tell Cong Nan's whereabouts?
Thinking of Cong Nan's martial arts and methods, Liu Wu shuddered again, and felt that it was better not to say it, although saying that it could clear up the relationship, but it would also cause Cong Nan's hatred, Cong Nan would inevitably take revenge on his anger for betraying the clues, and the end would still be very miserable.
Liu Wu suddenly felt that his future was ----- a haze, and he fell into the abyss at any time.
Liu Fu was psychologically disturbed, the man in black had already rushed to the table, and before he could reach the table, the strong man on the side of the old man suddenly stood up, which startled everyone in the Liu family, and the four men in black were also startled, quickly drew out their swords, and stood on the four sides of the table, forming a situation of encirclement.
The strong man hurriedly touched his chest, and shouted with an exaggerated "ahhh......h
It's not a good thing to lose the silver, the shopkeeper was afraid that he would meet a master who ate the overlord's meal again, so he was busy looking at the other two little brothers, and the three of them also surrounded him.
The old man's face became darker and darker, and he said angrily: "Qian Er, you are as strong as a yak, which thief is not afraid of death to find you?" You said! Did you covet the money yourself, and instead of being greedy, you relied on the thief? ”
Qian Er knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said with a look of grievance: "Grandfather, the little one was sold to the Kang family when he was young, there is no one relative, he is a member of the Kang family in life, and he is a ghost of the Kang family in death, and the little one steals the things of the Kang family and has no place to spend it?" ”
The old man smacked his lips, feeling that what Qian Er said made some sense, and was just about to let Qian Er get up, but his eyebrows suddenly stood up again, and he said angrily: "Qian Er, what does it mean to be a person of the Kang family in life and a ghost in the Kang family in death?" Lao Tzu doesn't want people like you to be people and ghosts of the Kang family, Lao Tzu also wants to marry a tender lady to be a person and ghost of the Kang family, don't occupy the pit and don't....."
The guests at the other table who said a few words couldn't help but laugh, and their faces were red with smiles.
Seeing that the silver was indeed gone, the little second brother smiled at the old man and said, "Grandfather, it's important for you to find the lost silver, why don't you put this vegetable dish in a food box and send it to your house?" Your house is in ......."
Kang Yuanwai raised his eyebrows, untied a golden abacus on his body, slapped it on the table with a "snap", and said angrily: "Little rabbit cub, are you playing tricks with Lao Tzu?" When Lao Tzu ran the rivers and lakes to mix silver, you didn't know where to play with the mud! Where do you want to deliver food boxes, it is clear that you want Lao Tzu to settle the bill with the silver, you have a good heart! The silver and silver tickets are lost, but there are a lot of gold jewelry on Lao Tzu's body, your dog's nose smells good, is this pure gold or gilded? Get out, don't you hurry up and ask Wu to catch the head, just say that Master Kang lost the silver jacket, and there are 1,000 taels of silver silver tickets in it, which is the ...... of Master Kang's first visit to your place and is ready to honor the old man of the county "
The little second brother hurriedly bowed his head and apologized continuously, and scolded Kang Yuan in his heart, thinking that this guy was afraid that he was a dumbfounder, how could he give gifts to the county master and shout to everyone in the world?
The black-clothed man had a look of disdain on his face at the same time, and sheathed his sword.
One of the men in black stared at Qian Er for a long time, only to feel that this man's figure was inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't think of where he had seen it. A face is ordinary, like an ordinary piece of dirt, as if it can't be found when it falls to the ground.
The man in black was pondering, Qian Er suddenly slapped his head, startling everyone, and all his eyes were fixed on Qian Er, but Qian Er's eyes were staring at the catkins, and he suddenly realized: "Grandpa, this girl squeezed in with us, it is very likely that she took the opportunity to steal the silver!"
