"Xiao Han!" In the inn of Honghu City, Chu Qiuli looked at Xu Han seriously, and said with a solemn face: "I think that old man is weird. ”

"What do you say?" Xu Han, who was holding Xuan'er in his arms, raised his eyes and glanced at the other party and asked.

"You think, these things are clearly only known to you, and he is the only one who walks with us along the way, and only he has the opportunity to transfer the bag!" Chu Qiuli said very firmly, saying that a flame ignited in the eyes of the middle-aged man.

To rob him of his money is to rob him of his wine, which is tantamount to the hatred of killing his wife and taking his children.

"This old thing, we were kind enough to help him, but he calculated us, I said why he was so precious to his wooden box, it seems that our things are placed there!" Chu Qiuli stood up and said indignantly.

It's just that he's full of our stuff, and he may have forgotten where those things came from.

"But you don't always carry those things with you, so how can the old gentleman have the opportunity to transfer the bag?" Xu Han raised his own question at this time.

"This..."The middle-aged man was speechless.

"Then why did you say this thing is gone, but you have seen it, it was full of treasures before!" Chu Qiuli, who couldn't figure it out, simply threw the question to Xu Han.

Xu Han, who heard this, also frowned, indeed as Chu Qiuli said, those things he had seen before, but now they were weirdly replaced with stones, and they were happening under their noses, such a thing was really weird, and Xu Han couldn't figure it out.

"Look, you can't say it, right!" Seeing that Xu Han couldn't say why, Chu Qiuli slapped his thigh and said, "I think it's the old man who replaced him, we have to hurry up and find him, otherwise the old boy will run away!"

After saying this, Chu Qiuli stood up in a hurry, pulled Xu Han up and was about to go out, his aggressive appearance looked like he was going to devour the old man alive.

Xu Han couldn't resist him, so he could only follow Chu Qiuli out of the inn.

......

"What?" In the hall of the inn, Chu Qiuli widened his eyes and looked at the inn junior in front of him who was so frightened that he lost his three souls.

Xiao Er, who couldn't figure out the situation, shrank his body and said cautiously: "That old gentleman only stayed in the room for a while and then left alone with the box on his back..."

"This old man!" Chu Qiuli rubbed his fists, his teeth clenched.

Xu Han's brows also wrinkled, in his opinion, the old gentleman had given them a tael of silver before, how could he not look like a greedy person, but some things were as Chu Qiuli said, only the old gentleman had the opportunity to do this thing, thinking of this, Xu Han couldn't help but hesitate.

"I'll just say it!" the old man is uneasy and kind!" Chu Qiuli rushed to the door of the old man's room, opened the door and saw that the room was empty.

"Run. Chu Daxia made a conclusion about the coffin.

"That..." At this moment, Xiao Er on the side leaned over cautiously again, and tiptoed to say: "I just saw him leave and asked him if he still wanted housing, and he said that he went to the west of the city to set up a stall under the pretext of ... I'm going to come back in the evening, if you're in a hurry... You can go and find out..."

seems to be frightened by Chu Qiuli's big-waisted and round image, but Xiao Er knows everything and says everything.

Hearing this, Chu Qiuli had a new judgment, he touched his chin and said again solemnly: "That old boy must feel that it is not good to travel with these things, and he must be selling stolen goods at this moment, let's say sooner if we can find him." ”

With that, the big man took a step forward and killed the inn regardless of it.

Seeing this, Xu Han could only shake his head with a wry smile, and chased after Xuan'er with a blank face.

......

Yangliu Street in the west of the city is the most prosperous downtown in Honghu City, and even at night, the streets are still crowded with people and vendors.

The fiery Chu Qiu was full of firepower, and kept nagging: "The old thing must have run away!" "The sea of people is vast, how can I find this!" "When I find him, I have to break his two legs, and dare to beat your Grandpa Chu's idea!"

Xu Han was silent about this, he didn't have much feeling about things like money, and the old man had indeed helped them before, even if this matter was really done by him today, Xu Han didn't mean to be embarrassed. And in his opinion, if something is lost, it will be lost, and if it is a big deal, let Chu Qiu leave and come back smoothly, and it will be over, so that it will not be such an exaggeration of shouting and killing.

However, he also understood that Chu Qiuli was angry now, and it was useless to persuade him, so he simply let him go, and when the time came, he would watch from the sidelines, and there would be no major incident after all.

It's just that all the way from the street to the end of the street, Chu Qiuli has found nothing.

That anger suddenly turned into depression and frustration, Xu Han saw him like this, and was about to step forward to persuade a few words.

But before the words could be spoken, there was a burst of cheers and applause from the corner of the street.

The two of them turned their eyes to see an old man squinting his eyes and smiling and nodding to the pedestrians around him in thanks, and the passers-by did not hesitate to hand copper coins to his bowl. Obviously, this old man is the old man who was on the same road as Xu Han and the others before.

"Good guy, you still dare to swagger and deceive here!" Seeing this scene, Chu Qiuli's anger surged into his heart again. He lifted his sleeve and was about to step forward with a curse in his mouth.

Fortunately, Xu Han's eyes were quick and he grabbed the big man who stepped forward.

"Xiao Han, what are you doing, be careful that old man is running!" Chu Qiuli's voice suddenly became a little louder.

"If he wanted to run, he would have run away a long time ago, and he would still set up a stall here?" Xu Han said with a blank look. "Wait. ”

"But..."Chu Qiuli had to say more, but it could be seen that Xu Han was indifferent, and the big man knew that it was useless to continue, so he could only shut up, and looked at the old man with wide eyes, lest the other party take advantage of the chaos to escape.

The two of them stood on the side of the road for a full quarter of an hour, and the old man finished the reward, and then he collected everything from the stall, put it into his inseparable wooden box, carried it on his back, and staggered in the direction where they were.

He didn't seem to shy away from the two of them at all, and when he walked up to them, he waved to them very enthusiastically: "Are you two also here to go shopping?" ”

"Hmph, old guy, don't come here like this, let's say, where did you put our things?" Chu Qiuli was a straight man, and immediately stared at the old man and said viciously.

"Hmm, what does this big brother mean?" the old man looked at Chu Qiuli with a puzzled expression.

"Don't put garlic in it, did you change my bag of treasures for stones?"

"Brother Chu, what you said is to underestimate the old man. The old man also heard Chu Qiuli's meaning at this time, his face changed, and he said: "Although the old man has fallen a little, he has never done this trick of stealing chickens and dogs..."

"I will take what is mine, and I will take what is not mine. ”

"Then where did my stuff go?" Chu Qiuli shouted loudly, and that appearance was quite a bit of a scoundrel.

The old man's eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile: "Aren't all your things there? Could it be that Brother Chu really lost something of his own today?"

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the old man bit the accent on the five words "his own things".

Chu Qiuli and Xu Han were both stunned at that time when they heard this, perhaps because of the weakness of being a thief, Chu Qiuli's momentum suddenly weakened a little, but he still said unrelentingly: "Then why is it not my thing, I rely on my own ability to steal... Oh no, what you earned, why isn't it mine?"

Chu Qiu left these words, and the smile on the old man's face suddenly became even worse, and he said: "According to Brother Chu's logic, the old man really took your things, and he also relied on his own ability to take them, you say, right?"

Hearing this, Chu Qiuli was immediately dumbfounded.

However, Chu Daxia has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for so many years, relying on not the rules, but the skill of this hand to make jokes.

Seeing that he couldn't say anything about the other party, Chu Qiuli waved his big hand and said: "Chu someone doesn't want to have a fearless battle of words with you, the rules of the road, half of the meeting, how can I say that I have also contributed to this thing, you can't eat bone broth and give us a sip, right?"

"Brother Chu, I misunderstood the old man again, I mean if I took it, but the fact is that I really didn't take it. The old man didn't show half a bit of annoyance at Chu Qiuli's extremely bad attitude, and still explained with a smile.

"Come, it's not that you can have anyone, I'll just say why don't you want to see that wooden box for me today, I see that thing is in your wooden box. Chu Qiuli said loudly.

"Brother Chu said this. The old man smiled again when he heard this, he pointed to the huge wooden box on his back and said: "You misunderstand the old man again, the old man is not a thief, but this box is filled with the old man's family wealth over the years, it doesn't look big, but it sinks to death, the old man has been carrying it for so many years, and his waist has been crushed, so he doesn't dare to bother Brother Chu." ”

"Hmph, how much can such a big wooden box weigh? Chu Qiuli naturally wouldn't believe him, so he sneered and said immediately.

"Brother Chu doesn't believe it?" the old man asked.

"Naturally, I don't believe it. Chu Qiuli raised his head in response.

"Hmm. The old man tilted his head and thought slightly, then squatted down, slowly put the wooden box on his back on the ground, and retreated to the side, "Then please give it a try to Brother Chu." ”

Seeing the old man's compromise, Chu Qiuli suddenly had excitement on his face, and it seemed to him that as long as he mentioned this box, the old man's lies would be self-defeating, and he would be able to recover his huge losses.

With such a thought, Chu Qiuli came to the box, stretched out his hands, surrounded the wooden box, and was about to lift it up with force.

But at that moment, the face of the middle-aged man, who was still full of smugness, suddenly changed, and he found that he had used all his strength, and he couldn't shake the box in the slightest.

Chu Qiuli didn't believe in evil, stood up, took a deep breath, and squatted down again, trying to do it again. But the results obtained this time are no different from the last time.

The wooden box in front of him was like a big mountain, and Chu Qiuli tried his best to blush, and he had no way to take it.

As a result, a very peculiar scene appeared on this willow street.

A wooden box one person high was placed at the corner of the street.

A big man with a big shoulder and a round waist was hugging and lifting, and he couldn't move the wooden box by all means.

In the end, the big man was in a hurry, retreated more than a hundred steps, inhaled, exhaled, and then ran away, crashing into the box like a fly.

In the distance, Xuan'er and Woo looked at the man who was struggling with the box with wide eyes, not knowing why.

After a few breaths, only a thud was heard.

The wooden box did not move, but the big man's body was knocked out of his wail several feet away.

Cats and dogs hide their faces and can't bear to look at them directly.
