Chapter 22: The Emerald Horse

It's just that at this time, Fang Kui's brothers have arrived, and the group surrounded the two, these two people fought and retreated, and Fang Kui brothers separated with people, to break them one by one, and at this time, two more people jumped in outside, but it was these two people who responded.

As soon as he came in and saw this posture, he slashed without saying a word, and the two groups of people fought in this courtyard......

Hou Debao took this opportunity to run around the yard and returned to the firewood room to take the little beggar away.

The little beggar rolled his eyes and said,

"You've been working all night, but you've made a bamboo basket to fetch water, and you've got a fart in your hands!"

Hou Debao laughed when he heard this, but he took out something from his arms, and the little beggar borrowed the moonlight that appeared from time to time in the sky and saw that it was a jade pony.

Hou Debao smiled,

"The gang was divided into two places, and the two went into the house, while the two rummaged in the carriage parked outside......

There is also a yard outside the courtyard of the inn, and a horse shed is set up in it, and the carriages of the guests are stored here, and the horses are unloaded and fed in the shed, and the Fang brothers bring a lot of things, and they do not unload the things, but only drive the carriage into the yard, and lock the door at night.

When Hou Debao went around the yard, he turned in from the stable, and happened to meet two thieves inside, and there were many good things in the car, but the two of them didn't look at it at all, only looked down and rummaged around.

Hou Debao smiled at the two of them,

"Your method of finding things is too rude, and I don't know that the master taught it, and you have lost our faces in vain, and it is only serious to go back and study for a few more years!"

As he spoke, he fell to the ground one by one, and his own family was also found in this carriage.

Hou Debao has rich experience in the rivers and lakes, and he knows that this gang is not a general-purpose thief, so he must be looking for something in this situation.

He didn't touch the empty box at first, but now he touched the empty box and felt that he had been tricked again, and he lost face in front of the little beggar, and he met these two people sneaking around looking for things, and they must have gotten some news to get here.

Thinking like this, I want to find this thing more and more!

What the hell is it that makes these guys so nervous!

He wasn't one of those two fools, and he flipped through the stuff with his hands and feet to know that it wasn't there.

Look left and right and stare at the top of the carriage hehehe,

"No matter how tightly you hide, you can't escape grandpa's eyes!"

Stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on it, and sure enough, there was a sound of empty drums, and he drew a dagger to find a gap and gently picked it up, and the wooden board that he was holding flicked down, and something was exposed.

Hou Debao stretched out his hand and pulled it off and put it in his arms, and returned the wooden plank to its original place, and went out to see that the two were still on the ground, and after thinking about it, he held one in his left and right hands.

"That's it! I also have the things, and I will arrest these two people and send them to you, and I will be the one who will be punished! ”

I went over to the wall and threw the two of them that way, regardless of whether they landed on their heads or feet, patted their butts and hurried back to look for the little beggar.

……

The little beggar looked at the jade horse in his hand and sneered,

"What are you going to do to fool me this time!"

Hou Debao shook the jade horse in his hand,

"Don't worry, I've seen it first!"

This jade horse is finely made, with a small head and a thin neck, and a huge belly, making that long neighing shape that looks up to the sky, others can't see Hou Debao but can see it, its big belly is a little strange, and there must be goods in it!

At that moment, he turned the horse over and touched his belly, pinched the index finger and thumb of his right hand and lifted it gently, the belly was embedded in it, and a slight pull revealed what was hidden inside.

But it is a small black and slender card, neither gold nor silver, neither copper nor wood, and I don't know what it is made of.

There was also something wrapped in fine silk, and the little beggar reached out and took it out and unfolded it, but there was a small silver ring in it, and there were words on it.

The little beggar gave the silk to Hou Debao, picked up the silver ring and looked at it, but immediately stayed on the spot.

Hou Debao was looking down at the silk, and saw a line of words written on it,

"Liujiaxiang Song in Southern Henan"

Hou Debao turned his face and looked at the silver ring in the little beggar's hand and said,

"This thing is not valuable, but it should be worn by children......"

Then he bowed his head and read the line to the little beggar.

"Song ...... Liujiaxiang in southern Henan This should be an address, isn't it going to find someone with the silver ring? ”

The little beggar looked at the things in his hand for a long time and was silent, Hou Debao smiled and reached out and patted his dirty head and said,

"Stinky boy, because you haven't seen the world, this idea will make you confused, if you see the good things left by your grandfather, won't you even have to stare out of your eyes?"

The little beggar came back to his senses when he slapped him, and said astringently,

"You...... Why do you think this thing is for someone to find? ”

Hou Debao replied,

"This kind of silver ring is small and thin is a bracelet for children, it should be a pair, the family is born when the baby is born, and the family wears it, and there is an address on the silk, I am afraid that the child of the family was born and sent away, leaving a bracelet to think, and now I want to find someone with this thing and address!"

This kind of thing is not uncommon, I think that one of his junior brothers was like this, he was thrown to the side of the road by his family when he was born, and the master picked him up and raised him, and then the junior brother grew up and went down the mountain to find relatives, relying on the swaddling clothes and a letter wrapped in his body.

The little beggar listened to his words, Mu Ran nodded,

"You...... That's a good point! ”

After thinking about it, he wrapped the silver ring in silk again and put it back in the horse's belly.

"That is...... That is, if you want to find someone, you will ...... I sent it to ...... Send it back! ”

Hou Debao replied,

"It's rumors there, wait for tomorrow and I'll see the hole and put them back!"

He doesn't really want people and things, not to mention that the things in it are not valuable, the token and the silver ring should be tokens, and they can't harm people's relatives and relatives can't be reunited, it's best to put them back!

"Hmm!"

The little beggar replied in a low voice, wrapped up in his clothes and curled up in a ball with his back to him,

"I'm sleepy!"

Hou Debao saw that the little beggar had changed his arrogant and scoundrel in the past, and only surrendered in his heart, and couldn't help but be secretly proud, and he had treated him as an apprentice in his heart.

"You sleep! You sleep! I'll call you again at dawn! ”

"Hmm!"

The little beggar closed his eyes in a low voice.

At dawn on the second day, Hou Debao woke up the little beggar,

"I'll take a look into the town, you're waiting for me here!"

The little beggar nodded and watched Hou Debao's figure disappear into the dense forest, and only after a while did he reach into his arms and find a rope from his neck that was already black and could not see the original color.

There was a small silver ring hanging on the rope, which looked exactly the same as the jade horse's belly, and it was also carved with a cloud pattern, and four words were engraved on it, "rich and auspicious", and the little beggar lowered his head and looked at it carefully for a long time.

They...... Have they come to me at last?

The little beggar has been smart and cute since he was a child, and his appearance is even more like the fortune boy in front of the Guanyin Bodhisattva, not to mention how good-looking!

This neighbor is all right,

"This Song Lao Liu and his family don't know what good things they did in their previous lives to give birth to such a good-looking child!"

There are also those who know behind their backs,

"Song Lao Liu was born short and fat, and their mother-in-law was as thin as a bamboo pole, pouting and toad eyes, how could they give birth to such a good-looking baby, don't you steal it!"

The little beggar didn't know what the neighbors were talking about when he was young, and when he was five years old, he was playing outside and listening to others, so he immediately cried and came back to ask Song Lao Liu,

"Dad, did you steal it?"

Song Laoliu's face changed,

"What nonsense, you and your brother are born to me and your mother, what is stolen or not!"

The little beggar was still young at that time, and after listening to his father's words, he turned to look at his younger brother, who was still nursing.

"I'm white, my brother is also white, my brother was born to my mother, my brother is biological, I am also biological!"

Immediately his heart rejoiced, and he took his brother's hand and exclaimed,

"Dad, mother! My brother and I are both born to mothers! ”

The Song couple looked at each other and did not speak again.

Two years later, when my brother was nearly three years old, he became very sick, and he did not eat or drink, and even cried like the kitten.

The little beggar was very worried, Lin Ergouzi's sister was also like this, without eating or drinking, he was carried out of the city by his father and buried in the soil within a few days, he was afraid that his father would also bury his younger brother in the soil.

This night he was worried about his younger brother, so he couldn't sleep, so he got up and went to his father's house, and when he got out of the window, he heard his mother crying.

"Lu Langzhong on the street said that he needs to buy one or two good ginseng for him to hang, if he can survive this while, it would be good!"

Dad sighed and said,

"The family is like this now, and there is still money for treatment!"

The mother cried and scolded,

"It's all you, a few copper plates will be sent to the black cave Longli, what is it like now?"

Dad thought about it and gritted his teeth and said,

"I only got such a dear flesh and blood in my thirties, you hurt your body again and can't regenerate, if he dies, our Song family will be cut off!"

The mother cried,

"How about that?"

Dad gritted his teeth and looked up to the west, where his eldest son slept,

"Sell that kid!"

The little beggar outside the window and the mother in the window were startled, and the little beggar bit his lip and immediately had red circles in his eyes.

Father...... Father...... Dad sold me for my brother!

Thinking of his brother's yellow face, faint crying,

If...... If you sell me, you can cure my brother's illness, I ...... I would too!

Inside, Mrs. Song Liu hesitated,

"The head of the house, but the people gave the money, a hundred taels of gold......"

"Fart, that one hundred taels of gold is a fart, if it weren't for the one hundred taels of gold, Lao Tzu wouldn't have itchy hands and lost it all!"

Mrs. Song Liu glanced at her husband and said in her heart, if it weren't for the fact that your own family suddenly had money, you would have been loaded into the black hole that has no return, and a hundred taels of gold returned to the countryside to build a house, and the maid and servant didn't know how happy they were!
