Chapter 357: The Thing on the Beam

It is said that it is just a kiln, and it is not a livelihood, and there is no food in less than a day. But why didn't Jiao En arrive when the time came, and Huzi was so anxious to leave? All because, when he came out this time, Huzi took Zhao Shankun with him.

Huzi also considered what would happen if Jiao En didn't go to Chunfeng Garden, and what would happen when he arrived at Chunfeng Garden. After sleeping enough during the day, the two brothers were divided into two heads. Huzi went to Chunfeng Garden, and Zhao Shankun guarded Jiao En's house from a high place. If Jiao En arrives at Chunfeng Yuan, Huzi tries to take Jiao En down, and Zhao Shankun goes to his house to see if he can find something else, such as a magic weapon to drive away ghosts. If Jiao En didn't arrive at Chunfeng Garden, Huzi's side would be empty. can say that Zhao Shankun's side, Huzi told him not to act rashly, but Zhao Shankun is really not the timid little fat man in the early years, his mind is wild, and he may not be suitable for being honest and obedient.

The words are divided into two ends. said that Zhao Shankun was lying on the roof of a nearby household, monitoring the courtyard of Jiao En's house. It seems that although this named Jiao En eats black rice, he has not reached the point where the grass and trees are all soldiers, and he is still very loose in his own house, and he has no protection, nothing more than two or three domestic slave garden workers, a cook, and two concubines who are active here.

When it was time to turn on the lamp, Jiao En returned home after finishing his business affairs, and the two concubines came out, first took off their robes with him, and then followed him into the house.

Zhao Shankun is indeed able to climb high and see everything, but after all, he can't learn to have a sharp eye that penetrates the wall, and if there is anything in the house, then he doesn't know anything. According to the previous leader, Jiao En would go to Chunfeng Garden every night to spend the night, and when he returned home, he would just have dinner, rest for a while, and estimate that he would not be able to leave for long.

Zhao Shankun was also patient, lying motionless on the backbone of the house next to him, just waiting for this Jiao En to go out. When the time came, he turned over and went into the courtyard, and went inside the house to see if he could gather some other clues. Zhao Shankun is still very confident in his skills, Jiao En, he is not simple, but the other people in the courtyard are very ordinary, there is nothing surprising, with his ability to go in and out of it, to be a gentleman on the beam, I am afraid that no one will find out.

The night was getting thicker and thicker, and the night watch in the distance first rang once, and then knocked four times briefly, which was almost the second watch. At this time, there was another noise in the courtyard of Jiao En's house, and a concubine put a coat on Jiao En, and the other carried a lamp and handed it to him, instructing him to let him go out if there was ice on the ground, and to be careful and slow down.

Zhao Shankun knew that this was his opportunity. But he was not in a hurry, and when Jiao En walked around the corner, Zhao Shankun waited a little longer, and when the lights in each room in the courtyard were turned off, he got off the beam and turned over to the courtyard of Jiao's house.

It's not like a big cross courtyard, it's a small courtyard with a few rooms, and the interior layout is very simple. He had seen clearly from the high place just now that the two rooms next to each other in the west chamber were lived by the two concubines. Next to the kitchen lived the three male slave garden workers, and a separate hut not far from the south of the room was the cook's room.

Zhao Shankun didn't want to disturb them, so he quietly arrived at the main hall, pushed the door in, and turned around and closed the door. With Song Xiongfang's ability, Zhao Shankun can still see things at night, there is no need to hold the lamp, just grope here. The layout here is very ordinary, no different from ordinary people.

Zhao Shankun remembered the case of Master Tong's family, so he moved all kinds of ornaments, all kinds of tables, chairs and benches, and wanted to find a secret door to come out. Unfortunately, nothing was found. Since he had searched for such a circle and found nothing in the main hall, Zhao Shankun set his sights on the east chamber where Jiao En lived.

said that it was Jiao En's living place, but he rarely lived at home, it was just cleaned and lacked some "human touch". Although this room is facing the sun, because there has been no fire to burn the kang for a long time, it looks cold and cold.

Compared with the main hall, there is nothing to see in the east wing. But where things could be hidden, Zhao Shankun rummaged through them lightly, but he didn't see anything. It's nothing more than some clothes and miscellaneous items, piled up in the alleys and cabinets, and more than some gold and silver.

Zhao Shankun didn't really plan to be a thief, so he put those things back in their original form.

In this way, Zhao Shankun felt puzzled: Could it be that this Jiao En is really nothing strange, but he is just an ordinary eater of black rice?

No way! Zhao Shankun decided from the first time he saw Jiao En that there was definitely something wrong with this person. At that time, he just glanced at it through the rocking table, but the hairs on his body stood up - it was Song Xiongfang warning him!

A person who makes Song Xiongfang feel jealous is definitely not a good stubble. What's more, Huzi also said conclusively, saying that this should be a dead man.

In this way, Jiao En is a very careful person, he handles the environment he lives in very cleanly, and he does not leave any handle in front of his family. The ease with which he came from his own family was all made by money. You must know that a year ago, he was still a thug on the streets, where did he get these family businesses? It must be that you can't communicate with them, so it's so clean.

Zhao Shankun was sad in his heart, he said in his heart that this search was fruitless, and when he went back, Huzi took Jiao En, and it must be all over him. This made Zhao Shankun feel very uncomfortable.

He was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a faint cat meow behind him. In the cold winter, in such a solar term, how can a cat call spring? What's more, when Zhao Shankun was looking at a high place, he didn't see Jiao En's family with cats and dogs. He turned around slowly and looked up, but saw a person squatting on the beam!

Zhao Shankun was startled at first, and immediately opened his posture and guard, and when he saw it clearly, he let out a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "Senior brother, people are scary and scared to death!" You're trying to scare me to death. "Speaking of which, if someone else approaches, Song Xiongfang will inevitably warn and will not let the living lurk to this extent. Then Zhao Shankun was amazed in his heart that Huzi's light body exercises had been practiced at home, and when he opened the door and entered the house, he didn't hear any movement at all.

Huzi asked Zhao Shankun: "Don't talk about this, what about Jiao En?" ”

Zhao Shankun was stunned: "Jiao En went out when he was about to reach the second watch, what?" Didn't you go to Chunfeng Garden? ”

Huzi frowned and said, "Gotcha!" Let's look at each other, or let him get away, he didn't go to Chunfeng Garden, and he didn't stay at home to sleep, who knows what he did? It's a good thing now, it's a loss of adults. ”

"So what do we do?" Zhao Shankun asked.

"What else can I do, go find someone," Huzi gritted his teeth and said, "No matter how you say that Jiao En is a living dead, and it must be nothing good for him to wander out on the third shift at night, we still have to watch him closer." It's best to be able to hold him without alarming others. But don't worry, we don't know where he's gone, we can't spin around like a fly without a head, you can come up and see. ”

Although Zhao Shankun was puzzled, he still followed Huzi's words and hugged the pillar on the beam. When he came up, he realized that something was wrong. Ordinary people, even if they love to be clean, places that are not easy to clean, such as house beams, except for any festival days to be cleaned, there will usually be a layer of floating ash on it. But the beams are so clean that there is no dirt at all.

Even more suspicious is what is on the beams. What is the pressure on the beams? Generally, people will press copper coins on the beams of the house. This thing is more than 10,000 hands, the yang is strong, when the new house is completed, take a copper coin and press it on the beam, one has the meaning of driving away evil and avoiding disasters, and the other is that the silver coin does not see the world and does not touch the ground, seeking a rich and auspicious family to attract wealth and enter the treasure.

In some special cases, a gossip mirror will be nailed to the beam. For example, if there is a murder in this house, and if there is something unclean in this house, nail a gossip mirror to the beam of the house to give it a deterrent meaning.

There is also a less common method, which is only available in Kanto, and will put "galaha" on the beams of the house. The crutches of pigs, sheep, and roe deer, after being cleaned up, are painted with a beautiful color, and this thing is called galaha. In the early years, it was used by shamans for divination, and it is no more than a toy to this day. The reason why this thing is placed on the beam of the house is to pray for a good harvest, and the vision of praying for the continuous consumption of meat in the house has also become a custom.

But no matter which household it is, I have never seen a catalogue of talisman seals pressed on the beams of the house. After looking at it carefully and making sure that there was no problem, Huzi picked up the book and flipped through two pages. Zhao Shankun also came here, wanting to see what was written in the book.

Huzi was generous, and directly stuffed the book into Zhao Shankun's hand, and asked: "You read more books than me, do you know the words on this?" ”

Zhao Shankun picked it up and looked at it twice, only to feel that it was all like ghost painting talismans, and threw it back to Huzi, saying: "I'm not from the magic sect, there are some patterns of formation runes on it, which are obviously your research things, how can you not understand it?" ”

"This thing is familiar, it's like what I know......" Huzi hesitated a little in his words, "But ...... But it's not! I don't know the words on it, huh? ”

Zhao Shankun scratched his head and asked, "Senior brother, you said Jiao En, what are you hiding this book for?" ”

As soon as Zhao Shankun asked, Hu Zi woke up immediately: "That's right, what does Jiao En want a book for?" ”

Jiao En, who is ruthless and does not accumulate virtue, did not learn it in the academy, it was mixed up on the street. As far as Huzi knows, this product doesn't know a lot of big characters, and it is not easy to recognize what is written on the stall. Zhao Shankun searched for such a circle, and saw a lot of things, but he was stunned that he had never seen pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and books. With a character like this, why do you want a book? What's more, this book is the same as a book from heaven for the literate Zhao Shankun and Huzi, so it is even more impossible for Jiao En to know.

"It doesn't matter what he's doing, let's take it away first," Huzi took the book out of Zhao Shankun's hand and picked it up, "Go back and show my father, he should be able to see what is famous." Our top priority now is to find Jiao En first. ”
