Chapter 216: A slight punishment
"Of course Luo, we are all spirit snakes, and our wisdom is beyond the Three Realms and not within the Five Elements. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info "Xiao Huang said triumphantly.
The brother and sister quietly followed the rich man to a village, which was lined with green trees, and there were flower beds on both sides of the bluestone road, where the flowers were blooming and fragrant.
The rich man took the housekeeper into the courtyard and instructed the two housekeepers to keep an eye on the door and not let outsiders in.
The two family members stood on both sides of the gate, cheering up, and when they encountered someone passing by the door, they had to check carefully.
Rhubarb and Rhubarb hid outside the courtyard, quietly waiting for night to fall.
Waiting is worrying, Rhubarb can't stand it, and tells Xiao Huang to turn the wind outside, turn into a big ring snake and get into it from the hole in the wall, wander in the flower garden, appreciate the fragrant fragrance, revel in the beautiful scenery, and get a little carried away.
"Snake ......" suddenly heard an exclamation.
Rhubarb came back to his senses and saw two Zhuang Ding standing next to him, looking terrified.
"Not good! Zhuang Ding found out. "Rhubarb" burrows into the flowers and plants.
"Come catch the snake—come and catch the snake—" Zhuang Ding shouted.
At once, more than a dozen Zhuang Ding came, each with a stick in his hand.
Rhubarb felt that the situation was not good, so he took advantage of Zhuang Ding's inattention and went incognito.
Xiao Huang heard the shouting "catch the snake" in the courtyard, worried about his brother's safety, and went in to snoop, and saw Zhuang Ding looking for rhubarb in the flowers and plants, and went around to deliberately expose himself.
"Over there—" A farmer ran over.
Xiao Huang "swooped" into the flowers and plants, and by the time Zhuang Ding arrived, he had already disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Huang came to the outside of the courtyard and saw that his brother was safe and sound, and let out a long breath.
"This rich man is really rich, he has invited so many Zhuang Ding, he must be let bleed tonight." Rhubarb said.
"For the rich and unkind, when you meet us, you deserve to be unlucky!" Xiao Huang said fiercely.
When night falls, the gate of the courtyard is closed, the Zhuang Ding who patrols the courtyard at night walks back and forth, and the gate of the courtyard is hung with red lanterns. There were two Zhuang Ding standing at the door, one with a black face and the other with a red face, just like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, acting as door gods.
The brother and sister did not dare to go through the main entrance, so they went around to the base of the wall of a room and hid in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity.
The courtyard was brightly lit, and there were two people talking in the room, although the voice was not loud, but the rhubarb and Xiaohuang heard it really well.
"Master, the girl I saw on the street today is good-looking, it is better to buy her back to be a maid, first, to serve the master's food, clothing, and daily life, and second, to be a concubine for the master." Wearing a green shirt and reading glasses, he said.
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so you can inquire about it tomorrow." Said in a fancy dress.
"Brother, the one in the green robe is the housekeeper, and they have a bad stomach, they are beating the idea of the street girl, why don't we teach them a lesson?" Xiao Huang whispered.
"Their master and servant are in a mess, and they should be taught a good lesson, but the purpose of our trip is treasure, so don't alarm them for the time being." Rhubarb said.
"The yard is so big, I don't know where the treasure is, it's better to start with the housekeeper and force him to explain." Xiao Huang proposed.
"Good idea." Rhubarb agreed.
It was midnight, and the lights in the other rooms in the courtyard were extinguished, and only the old man's study was still lit.
"Butler, it's not early, go back to your room and rest!" The rich man yawned.
The housekeeper left the study with interest, and Rhubarb and Little Yellow followed him, came to the corner, saw that there was no one around, and suddenly grabbed the butler, gagged him, and led him to the root of the wall.
"Butler, we are robbers, as long as you tell your master's gold and silver treasures where they are, you can be spared death, otherwise, hehe...... will make you die ugly. Rhubarb threatened.
"Who are you?" The butler came back to his senses and asked.
"We are doing the right thing for heaven, you lack virtue and smoke, and a street girl also bullies, we are just seeking justice for their grandchildren." Xiao Huang said.
The housekeeper understood, and secretly complained in his heart.
"A good man spares his life, this is all my master's idea, and it has nothing to do with me." The butler pleaded.
"Nonsense! We just heard you talking to your master, and you came up with the bad idea, and you still don't admit it? Rhubarb scolded in a low voice.
The stewards knew that they could not escape the blame, so they had to cry out for help, and the farmers who were on patrol heard the sound and struck the gong, and the people in the manor woke up and gathered at the door, and the lanterns and torches shone like day.
"You guy, I told you to shout, I beat you to death." Rhubarb threw his fist at the butler's head, causing the butler's head to bleed and he fell to the ground unable to move.
"Brother, it's not good, I've killed someone." Xiao Huang probed his snort and said in fear.
"Don't be afraid, they are ordinary people, they can't help us, come with me." Rhubarb picked up Rhubarb and ran to the backyard and set a fire.
"Not good! There's a fire in the backyard, go put out the fire. The rich man shouted anxiously.
The villagers were busy putting out the fire, and the whole yard was a mess.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Rhubarb and Xiaohuang touched into the rich man's study and rummaged through the cabinets.
There was a jumble of footsteps outside, as if they were coming this way.
Da Huang pulled Xiao Huang and was about to leave, when the study door opened, and the rich man walked in with a few family members.
"It turned out that you two stinky boys dared to beat my idea, where are you running this time? Go, get them both together. The rich man gave an order, and several family members rushed up.
Da Huang simply stood still, put on a posture, and sneered: "You guys are not afraid of death, come here, let the master greet you well." ”
A few family members did not believe in evil, and with sticks in their hands, they rushed over frantically.
Rhubarb transforms into a giant python and opens its bloody mouth.
"Ah......" The family members were so frightened that they ran out for their lives.
When the rich man saw that Zhuang Ding was gone, he also wanted to run out.
"Stop! If you want to run, it's not that easy. Xiao Huang rushed up with an arrow, grabbed the rich man, and shouted.
"A good man spares his life, just open your mouth if you want anything, and I promise." The rich man's face turned pale, and he looked at Xiao Huang with frightened eyes.
Rhubarb turned back into a handsome young man, looked at the trembling rich man, and said solemnly: "You are unkind to the rich and oppress the common people, the two of us are here to give you a piece of advice, I hope you will change your mind from now on and be a new person." ”
"Good, good, good, I promise you." The rich man said in a loud voice.
"Also, the girls who are street performers are our friends, you better not think crookedly, we are watching you in secret, if you dare to bully them, we will take your life immediately." Rhubarb said.
"Don't dare, don't dare ......," the rich man resigned.
"Also, take out the money from the family and give it to us, and we will go to the poor." Xiao Huang said.
"Two good men, I am a rich man, it is not easy to feed so many people, how can there be any spare money to help the poor, if you are tight, I can give a little." The rich man smiled bitterly.
"It seems that you want money and don't want your life, and you won't cry when you don't see the coffin." Rhubarb's eyes widened in anger and shouted.
The rich man was covered with chaff, his face was like ashes, and his mouth was shutting down.
"How? Have you thought about it? Money or death? Rhubarb asked.
"Good, good, good, I promise you." The rich man nodded repeatedly.
"Take out the money and give it to us, and we'll leave immediately." Rhubarb said.
When he met these two plague gods, the rich man was considered to have poured blood mold, and he knew that the comer was not good, so he had to take out the rest of the family's money.
"Two good men, all the family's savings are here, you can take them! I beg you not to trouble me again in the future, please. The rich man handed the jewel box to Rhubarb and said with a smile on his face.
"As long as you don't do evil again, we won't bother you, it's not too early, we should also go." Rhubarb hugged the jewelry box and walked out of the study generously, Xiao Huang was behind, glared at the rich man, and made a grimace.
The rich man was a well-known miser, and when he lost so many jewels at once, he was so distressed that he sat on the ground in a dejected manner, looking like he had lost his soul.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" The eldest lady and the family members rushed over, saw the old man sitting on the ground, and asked with concern.
"They, yes, monsters, I want to report to the official." The rich man said.
"Master, monsters are inhumane, if they report to the official, they will definitely retaliate, in my opinion, it's better to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster." The eldest lady persuaded.
The rich man remembered the terrifying scene of the python, and thought to himself: "They must be snake demons, I heard that the descendants of the Spirit Snake family are all extraordinary, and offending them is equivalent to offending the Jade Emperor." ”
"Forget it, that's the end of tonight's business, don't make any more publicity." The rich man thought about it again and again, so he had to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
After leaving the village, Rhubarb and Xiaohuang went straight to several hotels on the street with the jewelry box to inquire about the news of street vendors.
"Brother, it's better to wait until dawn before making plans." Xiao Huang said.
Rhubarb looked up at the sky, the east showed the white of the fish's belly, sat on the bluestone slab on the street and said to himself: "It's almost dawn, rest for a while." ”
Xiao Huang sat next to Rhubarb and said delicately: "Brother, I've grown so big, tonight is the happiest, open the box and let me see the treasures inside." ”
Rhubarb also wanted to see what was inside, so he opened it carefully, and was surprised when he didn't look at it.
