Chapter 25: The Gift of the Thrush
There is a bumpy truth in the rivers and lakes, that is, the shopkeeper is always talkative.
There is also a truth in the rivers and lakes that can't be broken, that is, the shopkeeper always knows a lot.
Feng Xiaoxiao naturally understood this principle very well, and when a bag of silver was thrown out, he knew what he wanted to know.
"It's a coincidence, our store has been happy in recent days, first the old lady did the birthday, and the big dozens of tables were lined up, so it was really a lively, ten miles and eight villages came to catch up with the people, all came in a noisy manner, for several days, the flowing water like the table from the morning to closing, it never stopped......"
“…… As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy! As soon as the old man was in good spirits, the grandmother was naturally happy, he was seriously ill and recovered, and he was obviously paralyzed for three or five years, and he was suddenly able to go to the ground, and he was really blessed by the heavens, and the boss's family has accumulated blessings and virtues, and has made good connections, so that there are these good rewards......"
“…… A few days later, the eldest lady got married again, and then the second miss, and today's third miss, in just ten days, it was a happy event......"
“…… Of course, the banquet is also going on day by day, and the only fly in the ointment is that it happens that the toilet collapses, so everyone can only squeeze that one......"
Feng Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "A small disaster and a big blessing, this is the best omen." ”
The guy even smiled and said yes, "The little one thinks the same way, hehe, eighty percent of the big guys fancy the boss's family are all blessed people, and if they take the daughter of the Wang family, they can get some blessings, right?" So everyone who got on the pole came to ask for a kiss! ”
Feng Xiaoxiao said: "It must be so, I must not have run away." ”
The guy said, "I think the guest officer is also a blessed person, otherwise he wouldn't have been in time for this good time." Isn't it possible to come to our store? ”
Feng Xiaoxiao smiled and asked, "I wonder if your boss has had any guests visiting recently?" ”
The guy said, "You really guessed it." Someone came to the boss before, saying that it was an old friend many years ago. But it's not a small reception, the small one just heard about it, and I haven't seen it with my own eyes. ”
Feng Xiaoxiao frowned and asked a few more questions, but the guy didn't know anything.
At this moment, a noisy voice came.
The fellow stretched out his head to look into the courtyard, and suddenly jumped down and shouted, "You...... Who are you, to be ...... Do what? ”
It turned out that there were more than a dozen big men in the courtyard who were busy. Someone dragged large bundles of white cotton cloth, and someone drove piles and built shelves there.
The man hurried up to meet him, and before he could speak, he was called away by the shopkeeper who had hurriedly turned around.
Feng Xiaoxiao didn't move, his hands were ambitious, and he watched coldly.
Soon, the big men built a big shed, and the large cotton cloth was overlapped, covering half of the yard. And then it came out.
Not long after, seven or eight old women with big shoulders and round waists came into the courtyard from the former store, rolling up their arms and sleeves one by one, gritting their teeth and glaring. Carrying brushes and buckets, one by one rushed to the cloth tent.
Then, there was a sound of vomiting in the tent. It took a long time to disappear.
After these old mothers are gone, under the cold moonlight. The whole courtyard suddenly seemed silent.
The guy turned back again, holding a green note in his hand. Slightly swaying as he walked.
Feng Xiaoxiao's eyes immediately gathered, and the wind flew like a fly, snatching the note into his hand.
It's just a small courtesy, and I hope to smile.
Thrush gift.
Feng Xiaoxiao's eyes burned, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where did this note come from?" ”
The guy was obviously stupefied by his ghostly figure, and he really didn't see that this young man with a gentle smile and polite speech was actually a strong man in the rivers and lakes.
He said in a trembling voice, "Yes...... It is the shopkeeper's let the small hand ...... Give it to the uncle......"
Before he finished speaking, Feng Xiaoxiao had already arrived in the front store.
It's a mess, it's all crooked tables, chairs and benches, and plates, bowls, and chopsticks scattered in all directions, but there is no one, no living or dead, and no shopkeeper.
Ying Yue didn't know when she came, standing quietly at the entrance of the courtyard, the shopkeeper just now, was curled up and fell at her feet, and she couldn't tell whether she was dead or alive.
She said coldly: "In the backyard guest room, no one knows martial arts. ”
Feng Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, what a thrush, you can play this trick under my eyelids, even if you still have some ability." ”
Needless to say, this qiē must have been deliberately designed.
It should be as early as ten days ago, the thrush was laid out here, what means did she use, she controlled the innkeeper's family, held a banquet in the hotel every day, and waited until Feng Xiaoxiao and Invite Yue arrived, attracted by the excitement here, and entered the store.
She calculated that Feng Xiaoxiao would find something strange in the latrine, and that Feng Xiaoxiao would ask some things through the guò shopkeeper, and then removed the shopkeeper who knew a little...... In fact, even if he catches this shopkeeper, it will be useless, he will not know more things.
As far as the current clues are concerned, Feng Xiaoxiao should not know anything except that he knows that this is the thrush and that the methods are particularly vicious.
Invite Yue said: "There is a living person in the tent. ”
Feng Xiaoxiao sighed and said, "You go and take a look!" I'm not going in. ”
Invite Yue walked in suspiciously, and then flashed out quickly,
Her jade-white cheeks turned pale, and she said, "How is Shi Guanyin!" You already knew that Shi Guanyin was in it? How did she become like this...... Appearance? ”
Feng Xiaoxiao approached her and said softly: "I saw it just now, but I was afraid that you didn't like to see her, so I didn't say it...... This thrush is quite cautious, and has been cleaned and taken care of before giving this gift to you, are you still satisfied? ”
Invite Yue snorted coldly: "It's pretending to be a ghost again." ”
Feng Xiaoxiao said: "Anyway, this is indeed a gift, and she also sent this gift to you." ”
Invite Yue said: "What is this thrush hiding its head and tail for?" ”
Feng Xiaoxiao said in his heart: "It's not that I'm afraid that you will be unhappy and slap her to death...... She seems to know Ying Yue very well, if she dares to give gifts directly to the door, she has been killed by Ying Yue angrily at this time. ”
He thought so in his heart, but naturally he didn't dare to say so, and said with a smile: "There are too few clues, and I can't guess what it is, but if you are courteous to others, you must ask for something." This thrush should not give a gift, and there is no follow-up, we don't have to worry, it should be her who is in a hurry. ”
Ying Yue's eyes flashed, nodded slightly, and said, "Not bad." ”
At this moment, Feng Xiaoxiao suddenly raised his head, glanced at the opposite roof, and said with a smile: "When I go to the room in the middle of the night, I am timid, either a thief or a thief!" ”
Suddenly, a figure swept away, running on the roof or running actively, and the speed was amazing, and it was obviously running between the roofs that were not connected and far apart, but it was like walking on the ground, and it was far away.
Except for Chu Liuxiang, Feng Xiaoxiao had never seen anyone run so fast and so steadily. (To be continued......)
