At this point, the people stopped talking. After a while, Sun Li, Zhao Gan, and Xiao Linglong got together to discuss how to escape, and Xiao Linglong said: "Now there are many people, and when they fall asleep and don't pay attention, let's ......."

"Don't think about it, his grandmother," said an emaciated man, "and he'll have to suffer a lot if he's caught." ”

Sun Li and the others were taken aback at the same time, why was the voice so low that it was still heard by others.

The man said, "Don't be surprised, I'm a well-known ear, not to mention that you are in front of me, even if you are three or five hundred miles away, as long as I want to hear it, I can hear it clearly." ”

"Good ears?" Zhao Qian smiled, "Then listen to what the Jade Emperor is talking about at this moment?" ”

"Listen to it, grandma bear," said the man, stretching lazily, only to see him reach out and take two cotton balls out of his ears, and then tilt his head and tilt his ears sideways, and listen in a thoughtful voice.

Zhao Qian said: "Did you hear that?" ”

I saw that the man was not in a hurry, stuffed the cotton ball back into his ear, and then said: "I heard, the Jade Emperor said that the land next to the peach orchard should be plowed, and after plowing and planting sweet potatoes, he wants to eat sweet potatoes." His grandmother's, this old boy doesn't do anything serious all day long. ”

"The Jade Emperor doesn't eat peaches and eats sweet potatoes? Isn't it necessary to use dim sum to deceive people? General Zhao Qian was skeptical.

The man stuffed the cotton ball back and said, "Believe it or not, I, Zhang Ercong, never lie." ”

Zhao Qian stretched his neck to look at Zhang Ercong's ears and eyes: "You shouldn't be reincarnated with Shunfeng Er." ”

Uncle Lu Shuangcheng said: "The Ercong brothers' ear spirit is recognized by everyone. Brother Ercong, you tell them about your ears again, anyway, it's a rainy day to beat the child - idle is idle. ”

"Don't say it, don't say it, they don't believe it anyway." Zhang Ercong said impatiently.

Zhao Gan said: "In this way, you listen to how the cousins of the 'Wangfulou Restaurant' greet the guests, and I will believe you if you are right." ”

Zhang Ercong said: "This is not a piece of cake, wait." With that, he took off the cotton ball again, squinted his eyes and tilted his head slightly, and nodded lightly as he listened.

"This restaurant doesn't directly report the number of people entering the store, right? When a person eats closely, he shouts 'one branch is unique', two people come together and shouts 'good things come in pairs', three people are 'Sanyang Kaitai', four are 'Four Seasons Fortune', five are 'Five Blessings', six are 'Six Great Shun', seven 'Seven Stars Gather', eight 'Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea', nine 'Nine Nine to One', and ten 'Ten Perfect'. Zhang Ercong said a lot in one breath.

Zhao Qian was shocked: "Word for word, have you ever gone to eat?" Don't hide it from everyone, this set of counting methods was invented by me personally, hehe. ”

Sun Lidao: "This thing is really incredible, I don't know how Brother Zhang practiced this kind of kung fu?" ”

"I don't even believe it." Zhang Ercong seemed to say to himself, "This is a long story, when I was 20 years old, I had a strange dream, his grandmother had a leg, that day I was enjoying the shade under the big jujube tree outside the door, and I fell asleep unconsciously......"

"Didn't you say last time under the Tsubaki tree?" A person next to him asked.

"Lao Li, can you not interrupt? Do you know or do I know?" Zhang Ercong said, "I dreamed of a little old man the size of a gourd, he said that he was a big disciple of Zixu Mountain, who was dedicated to monitoring the sufferings of heaven and earth, and he was really tired of more than three thousand years, so he secretly ran down the mountain, afraid of being caught back by the master, so he wanted to hide on me." With that, he jumped on my right shoulder, and he got smaller and smaller, and 'Woo' got into my ear. ”

"Oh, this dream is interesting." Zhao Qiandao.

"It doesn't matter if he drills this drill, I have a grandmother here, but it scared me awake, I touched my ears, there was no problem, and I didn't care. Since then, my ears have become particularly sensitive, for example, when someone comes to my house, and the big yellow dog has not barked, I hear footsteps first. Zhang Ercong said.

"People say that you are deaf and clear-sighted, and this is a good thing for you." Zhao Qiandao.

"What's good, grandma's egg, in addition to the spirit, this ear always hears bad news, such as where there is fire, where there is water, it's all bad things......" Zhang Ercong complained, "I'm blocking it with cotton now, otherwise I can't live by listening to all kinds of bad news all day long." ”

"But the Ercong brothers rely on this ability, and they can go out to eat and drink every once in a while." Lao Li said enviously.

"That is, if there is a case in the county that cannot be solved, I will be asked to go out to 'assist in handling the case', as long as I hear it with my ears, I can hear everything clearly. Every time I bring something back to give everyone a tooth sacrifice. ”

"Yes, yes, I don't have to say this, it's interesting enough." Lao Li gave a thumbs up as he spoke.

"Can you hear everything? If someone is telling a lie, how can you tell the difference? Zhao Qiandao.

"Do you know why there are so few cases in Dafeng County?" Lao Li said, "On the one hand, the county master clearly determines right from wrong, and on the other hand, he knows how to make good use of people. Zhang Ercong also has an outstanding ability, that is, regardless of the plaintiff and defendant, as long as he touches Zhang Ercong's hand when confessing, it doesn't hurt to tell the truth, and he can't help laughing when he tells a lie. ”

Zhao Qian said: "I will do this too, I often hear people who come to my restaurant to eat, especially officials and businessmen, when they say something insincere, everyone laughs." ”

He turned to ask Lao Li: "You call him a brother and a brother, can't it happen to be clairvoyant?" ”

"I'm not clairvoyant, I'm unlucky," Lao Li said.

"His name is Li Shibao, and he says that he is unlucky every day, and we all call him 'Li Unlucky'," Zhang Ercong said.

"It's certainly unlucky to be caught in prison, but it's not necessarily worse than me. I'm a human, not a duck, believe it or not? Zhao Qian said indignantly.

"I believe it." "I know too well how terrible it is to not be believed. ”

"Then you are also troubled by dreaming?" Zhao Qiandao.

"That's not true, I knew I wouldn't have gone out if I got into so much trouble, it's really unlucky." Lee shook his head uncontrollably.

"I went to draw water that day, and as soon as I got to the well, a toad popped out of nowhere and landed on the upper of my shoe, and now I think about it, it was the frog god who helped me and didn't let me go forward."

"At that time, I felt unlucky, I kicked the toad away, and then began to draw water, strange to say, the bucket sank into the well water as soon as it fell, and then 'whoosh' fell down, I quickly put the well rope, it took a lot of effort to pull it, I quickly pulled it up, the bucket came up to see, guess what?"

"What else can I do, could it be that you still have a treasure?" Zhao Qiandao.

"Oh, you're such a clever duck," said Lee unluckily, "and there was a thumb-thick gold chain wrapped around the bucket, and I grabbed it and dragged it up, and dragged it for twenty or thirty feet, and guess what, the cow with a golden haired head came up." The cow didn't say a word, but spread his hooves and came to push me, and overturned me at once. Before I could stand up, it came back to me, so I grabbed its horns with both hands and leaned against the tree as hard as I could. ”

"It looked up and tried to shake me up, and I was prepared, and my legs were tightly wrapped around the trunk, so that I was evenly matched with it, and for a moment there was no difference. But I knew that I couldn't consume it, so I blew its nose, and watched its belly slowly swell, and finally floated up like a big balloon. ”

"The cow floated away, and flew away with the gold chain, and I hurriedly grabbed one of them and grabbed it hard, and at that time I wanted to shout for help, and I was afraid that people would come and take away my gold, so I held on and did not let go, and I had to have a bag of cigarettes, and I thought that sooner or later someone would pass by and see it, so I bit it with my teeth, and finally bit off the chain, and the cow floated away, leaving a piece of two feet long in my hand."

"Oh Huo" Zhao Qian exclaimed, "Others brag that they are too addicted, you have made a fortune, and you say that you are unlucky." ”

"The unfortunate ones are behind, and when I get home, I don't dare to tell my family, they will definitely not believe it, but will wonder where I got my ill-gotten gains. From that day on, I wore a gold chain around my waist to sleep," Li was unlucky enough to touch his waist with his hand, as if the gold chain was still on his body.

"And then?" Zhao Qian asked.

"Then I began to be unlucky, before I had time to buy a house and land, the government came to the door, saying that I was related to the theft of Zhao Dahu in Linxian County, and I repeated the origin of the gold many times, but it was difficult to argue, no one believed it at all, and this did not detain me here."

"I understand, the county order is to arrest and lock up all the people who are out of tune in ten miles and eight villages." Sun Li thought to himself.

"You don't seem to have spoken, are you dumb?" Zhao Qian looked forward and said to a sitting person.

Lu Chengshuang hurriedly walked over and stopped Zhao Gan: "He can't be provoked, if he opens his mouth, we can't stand it." ”

"Oh? This is strange," Zhao Qian said, "could it be that he is a chatterbox?" ”

Lu Chengshuang hurriedly said: "It's not that he can nag, it's because he has a loud voice." His name is Zhou Dasheng, and when he was born, he opened his mouth and cried, like thunder, which shocked the midwife on the spot. Usually the family is obedient to him, but he is afraid of provoking him, so he shouts loudly. ”

"Within a radius of fifty miles, everyone knows that Zhou Dasheng has a loud voice, as long as anyone has a louder voice, someone will immediately ask him, are you a relative of Zhou Dasheng?"

Zhao Gan said: "With such ability, if you quarrel with others, won't you be invincible in the world." ”

Lu Shuangcheng said: "If you quarrel and can't eat as food, it's still his son Zhou Taisheng's brainwork, giving full play to the strengths of Dasheng, and touting work everywhere." For example, picking walnuts, it turned out that people climbed the tree and hit the pole one by one, with Zhou Dasheng there was no need, under the tree lay a straw mat, he yelled at the tree, the sound shook the whole tree, walnuts no matter how big or small, all fell down. A few acres of walnut trees were not enough for him to shout. ”

"It's so powerful," Zhao Qian couldn't stop looking Zhou Dasheng up and down.

"But no, after being reminded, he changed careers and became a crying mourner, he opened his throat and cried, it was really deafening, tear-jerking, and the timid and weak did not dare to approach. It doesn't matter who dies, what matters is whether you can invite Zhou Dasheng to come to the scene to mourn, there is a popular local saying 'crying and mourning does not invite Zhou Dasheng, and it is rare to die again'. Relying on this hand, Mrs. Zhou made a fortune, ate fragrant and spicy food, and married a few little wives. Lu Shuangcheng said.

Zhao Gan said: "If you don't say 'three hundred and sixty lines, you will be the champion', but if you have a unique job, you can settle down." ”

"Mrs. Zhou gave birth to such a good son, it was really unexpected, and it was a blessing in disguise." Sun Lidao.

"What a blessing, Zhou Taisheng tossed himself to death in a few years, alas-" Lu Shuangcheng said.

"Then why did he end up in this prison?" Zhao Qian asked.

It's okay not to ask this sentence, but the question touched Zhou Dasheng's sadness, and Zhou Dasheng cried out with a "wow".

This sound was like a drum and a bell, and it rumbled and shook the sand of the cell. The jailer heard the voice and came over and said, "Shut your mouth again and close the single room." Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to comfort them, but finally stopped Zhou Dasheng from continuing to cry.

Zhou Dasheng said with a sad face: "My father died a few days ago, and when he was buried, he found that the body was missing his right foot, so I went to the county government to report to the official, but I didn't want to be arrested directly." ”

Sun Lidao: "This doesn't make sense, you reported the case, why were you still arrested?" ”

Xiao Linglong said: "We are not the same. ”

When Sun Li heard this, he paused and said: "I understand, this county order is to arrest all the informants, so as to eliminate the bad influence of the locality." ”
