Chapter 5 The Intelligencer Summons the South
Seeing that the main owners of the quarrel entered the house, the onlookers dispersed in twos and threes.
A vendor carrying a burden of stinky tofu stood on the side of the road and shouted at the crowd: "Stinky tofu, three pieces of copper plate." ”
Some people watched for a long time, patronizing to see the excitement, and then remembered that their stomachs were a little empty, so they came over to eat stinky tofu.
At one end of the burden is a small coal stove, stinky tofu is fried until it is yellow and oily, three pieces are strung with a bamboo skewer, sprinkled with emerald green coriander chives, and a spoonful of chili sauce is poured on it, the red and green reveal a strange aroma. The man picked it up and ate it, the chili sauce hung red on his mouth, and there was a slight sound in his mouth, this stinky tofu was so delicious, and this chili was so spicy.
After eating and paying, the vendor pointed to the people who had dispersed: "What day is today, so many people are watching the excitement." ”
The man wiped the pepper from his mouth with the back of his hand and looked at the peddler: he was dressed in a short beat, with a cloth wrapped around his head, and he was quite tall, and he sounded like a countryman with an accent, which was really rare and strange.
"Well, Dahua Yarn Factory knows, right?"
The peddler shook his head blankly.
"Oh, you don't read the newspaper, do you?"
"We rough people, where can we recognize words?" The vendor smiled wryly.
"That one opened a yarn factory, and four wives died in ten years."
"Huh?"
The man looked at the peddler's astonished eyes and continued with a sense of superiority: "If you countrymen can marry a wife, you will burn high incense,"
"Yes, yes, yes." The peddler nodded hurriedly, and then shook his head, "Rich people are not very good, they can't keep so many wives if they marry, and we countrymen have a wife who makes a baby at home, but she is beaten and beaten, and her health is very good." ”
"Che, you know what, actually......" the man whispered, eager to show off the city's knowledgeable people in front of the peddlers, "this thing is evil." Seeing that the peddler's eyes lit up when he heard the evil nature, the man felt a sense of accomplishment, and pulled the peddler to stand in a secluded place and said, "There is a ghost." "Ghosts? Hooking souls? That's why, why don't you hook the soul of someone else's daughter, and go to hook the woman of this family? Could it be that there is some kind of injustice in this family that has attracted this god and ghost......"
When the peddler said this, he hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "Oh, look at my foul mouth. ”
The man looked at the peddler with a smile: "Okay, little brother, you really said it, why did so many people on this street look at the Wen family, I also thought about it, really, indeed, tsk." "Hmph for a long time, why the daughter of the Wen family was hooked but didn't say it, it turned out that he was just playing tricks.
The man bought another penny of stinky tofu, poured a lot of red and fresh chili sauce on it and walked away, the vendor saw his back far away, and spat on the ground: "Phew, take advantage of things that are not enough, and you are not afraid of spicy ones." ”
It turned out that this peddler was Zhao Nan pretending, as an employee of Miss Ye Da, who traverses black and white (yin and yang), and he is now tasked with being an intelligence officer, specializing in disguised as various people and others responsible for collecting information.
He had been selling stinky tofu for a long time, and he had received very little available information, and he was full of displeasure.
At this moment, two children ran over and handed a copper plate in their dirty little hands.
Zhao Nan was annoyed, he didn't bother to pay attention to these two little hairy heads, and waved his hand again and again: "If you don't sell it, you won't sell it." The little hairy head stiffened his neck and said: "You don't earn any money, I see you sneaky, hum, I'm afraid it's a kidnapper." ”
As he spoke, he shouted: "Catch ...... crutches"
Zhao Nan hurriedly covered Xiao Maotou's mouth: "Little ancestor, you want to kill people." ”
Xiao Maotou looked at him triumphantly, and the other little girl also looked up at her apple-like face, and Zhao Nan sighed: "Okay, I'm afraid of you, Yao, this is given by my brother, one person and one string, no money." Let's go, let's go, don't delay me here. As he spoke, he threw a few pieces of stinky tofu into the oil pot, and the strange fragrance spread, and the two of them stared at the pot tightly with their snot and hairy eyes.
"Eat slowly, don't burn."
Zhao Nan saw that the two hairy heads took the stinky tofu and gobbled it up, and hurriedly reminded him.
The little boy swallowed the last bite very carefully, stretched out his tongue and licked the chili sauce at the corner of his mouth, and then he leaned over and said, "This, uncle......"
"Uncle?" Zhao Nan's face was twisted into a big bun with double eyelid folds, "Call brother." ”
"Uncle, I just heard you talking to that man." The little boy said.
"Go, go, Xiao Maotou cares so much."
"Uncle is a good person, I just told you, I heard the young master of the Wen family say that he killed people."
Xiao Maotou straightened his chest and looked very serious.
"Huh? Young Master Wen? ”
Zhao Nan was startled, staring at the child in front of him who was only seven or eight years old, I don't know if he was talking and playing, they all said that children are unscrupulous, but children are also easy to talk about.
"Really, uncle, you are a good person, I just told you when you invited me to eat stinky tofu, the little young master of the Wen family said it himself."
"He's playing with you?"
Zhao Nan looked at the little boy in a coarse cloth coat dragging his nose, and felt that he was not the same as the polite young man of the Wen family.
"Hey, that guy, fake. The children in our alley are all in a gang, and the one who takes the lead is our nail brother. ”
"Yes, Brother Nail." The girl nodded her head again and again, proving that the boy was right.
"We were looking for him to get some money."
"Yes?" Zhao Nan's eyes flashed, the boy smiled embarrassedly, he stretched out the back of his black hand and wiped a handful of snot and continued, "Anyway, that's the case, the heroes of Liangshan robbed the rich and helped the poor, uncle." As a result, he said that he would not give money, and said that he was not afraid of killing people, and he was afraid of a few of us? ”
"That's what he said?" Zhao Nan was shocked.
"That's right, Brother Nail laughed at him for bragging, he said that he didn't brag, he killed all the people who died in his family, he pushed people downstairs, his eyes were terrible at the time, it must be true."
When the little boy finished speaking, he looked greedily at the oil pan again.
Zhao Nan was helpless, threw in a few pieces of stinky tofu and fried them, sprinkled them with seasonings and handed them to him with bamboo skewers.
The little boy's eyes brightened instantly, he took the bamboo skewer and held it, turned around and ran with the little girl, shouting as he ran: "Thank you, big brother." ”
Zhao Nan shook his head and smiled: "It's really naughty." ”
This little naughty doesn't seem to be a lie, it seems that the children of the Wen family really have a problem.
Zhao Nan went through the suspicions, picked up the burden and walked slowly around the courtyard of the Wen family.
I faintly heard someone inside shouting something, it was a man's voice, it should be the uncle of the Li family.
In the hall of the Wen family, Uncle Li pulled the green tendons on his neck and exposed: "Anyway, why did my sister commit suicide for no reason?" You must have been victimized by you, you lost your conscience and murdered your four wives, and heaven does not tolerate it. ”
Ye Liang sat on the side with a fan, his eyes sliding over everyone's faces one by one.
"Uncle, it's not good to talk nonsense, Peiyu was ...... back then Alas, how to say it, she was reluctant to marry, and she has been depressed for several years, and you and I know this. ”
"Depression? What can my daughter be depressed about? ”
The old lady of the Li family did not give up.
"People have been gone for so many years, and I don't want to mention these things again, my uncle knows the reason, and now it's a bit too bullying to make trouble again. You are Yaozu's relatives, if you come as a guest, I will naturally treat you as a guest, but today is the day of the clumsy soul, and it is really not suitable to stay as a guest. ”
Wen Jingrong's face was worried.
The Li family came all the way to fight the autumn wind, how could they leave without seeing the money, and there was no evidence after a few noisy words, so they simply sat there and didn't leave.
Wen Jingrong couldn't, so he could only beckon Wu's mother to call to order a table of wine and food to be sent to invite the Li family to dinner.
Ye Quan stood up and said coldly: "Today is the first seven, I don't know what my sister may be able to say when she returns to her soul in the evening, Li Qinjia, are you planning to guard this first seven together?" ”
It turned out that Chen Ying's body was only transported back from the hospital yesterday, and today was just in time for the first seven.
"Guard, guard, see if the ghost is afraid to call the door."
The Li family is bent on taking a handful of them, and they are determined to keep it to the end.
