Chapter 18 Seeking Wealth and Danger

"You still remember this."

Qiu Yan sighed and said: "I went down the mountain to buy vegetables this morning, and I heard that the old lady in the Lu Mansion made a big fuss last night and killed a subordinate in the house. ”

"Spooky? Could it be haunted? ”

Wen Tiantian felt chills all over her body, feeling that the temperature around her had dropped a few points suddenly, she had been afraid of ghosts since she was a child, and she didn't even dare to watch ghost movies. If you go to Lu Mansion to manage people's affairs according to what the dead ghost said, what should you do if you meet a real ghost?

I'm dying!

"I don't know, there are rumors that it is haunted, and there are also rumors that the woman is insane, but I didn't inquire into the details."

Qiu Yan said as she did the work at hand, her slender fingers running over the edge of the table, checking the rough spots, and then carefully polishing them with a file.

He oiled this batch of furniture twice, and the chairs, benches and small cabinets made in front of him had been dried for seven or eight days, and the pungent smell of oil had dissipated a lot. Next, after polishing the buns, the small bed will oil the remaining two. I don't know if it will rain again in a few days, so he is very neat in his hands, trying to apply the clear oil before sunset today, and then apply a second coat tomorrow for a day of drying.

By finishing it early, he also frees up a lot of time for other chores.

Wen Tiantian sat on the new bench, crossed her legs, and thought quickly in her head.

"Qiu Yan, if I want to go to Lu Mansion, will you also come with me?"

Normally, Qiu Yan at this time must have nodded yes, but with Wen Tiantian's understanding of him, this guy will definitely not be so refreshing.

Sure enough, Qiu Yan blew the polished sawdust, and replied indifferently: "It's all right." ”

Put down the file, got up and moved the table aside, changed the small bed with a bun and continued to grind, and said casually: "If you can solve it yourself, I will cook at home and wait for you to come back, if you need someone to help you move and lift, I can also accompany you and listen to you." ”

He really doesn't care! Judging from the current situation, the small changes in Lu Mansion will not affect anything, Su Zihe will return to Beijing in a few days, and his main energy should also be put on the situation in the capital, this remote small town can only be regarded as his temporary hiding place at most, and has nothing to do with the overall situation.

Of course, Wen Tiantian didn't know this, raised her hand and poked her face, seriously thinking about the words of the dead ghost, and finally made a decision.

"Qiu Yan, I've thought about it! Rich and dangerous, let's go and uncover the notice in the afternoon, and set off to Lufu in the evening! ”

"Are you sure? If this matter can be solved, you will be famous in the town, and it is naturally impossible to live in seclusion in the mountains. ”

The so-called people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, Wen Tiantian made this decision, and he may not have a peaceful birthday in the future.

"Don't be afraid! With you and Baozi here, nothing matters! ”

Make money! The most important thing is to make money!

In the future, with a lot of silver in hand, where can their family of three live? Does seclusion have to be in this barren mountain range?

Qiu Yan saw her patting her chest with high morale, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, the little girl really regarded him as a family.

Before the work was finished, he put away his tools and stood up, patting the sawdust on his clothes, "Without further ado, let's go early and return early." ”

The Lu family's affairs are spread very evilly, so it is safer to pass during the day.

Wen Tiantian smiled sweetly, and ran back to the house to carry his small medicine box.

Too lazy to change clothes, the two of them hurried out one after the other, leaving two chicken legs and half a bowl of water for the bun before leaving, and the little guy was hungry when he came back late.

The matter of the Lu family is spreading, so no one dares to ask about his family's reward notice. The passers-by quickened their pace without even raising their heads, as if the words on the paper would be unlucky at a glance.

Seeing this, Wen Tiantian touched her nose and said, "I'm going over!" ”

"Go ahead! Come on! Qiu Yan clasped her hands around her chest and encouraged her with a smile, "Fifty taels of gold can still be put down by our family, Dr. Wen has to work hard!" ”

Nodding with a firm look in her eyes, Wen Tiantian vaguely felt that Qiu Yan actually had a little drama potential in her, and she was really a promising young man!

Without further ado, she walked over with her head held high, stood on tiptoe in front of everyone, and tore off the notice!

"Phew!"

With her chic movements, the passers-by around gasped, and Qiu Yan, who was waiting with her chest hugging her chest not far away, was also stunned for a moment, and then chuckled.

Wen Tiantian grabbed the notice in her hand and looked at the other half that was torn off the wall, her head clouded.

Cha! Height is a hard injury!

The notice was sticker, she was short, and she reached out and tore it from the side and tore it in half.

Ahem, as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's someone else who is embarrassed!

Wen Tiantian stood on the stage with a blushing face, and dared to speak: "I took this job, Mrs. Lu's illness is wrapped in me!" ”

Make a military order in public!

After two sentences, there were a lot of people around to watch the excitement, and everyone whispered underneath. In their opinion, this girl is not tall and courageous, but the affairs of the Lu family are so evil, if you are not careful, you will take your life. Those fifty taels of gold are a lot, but no matter how much money you have, you have to spend your life, and life is better than anything else!

While everyone was talking, a tall figure walked through the crowd to the stage, stretched out his hand to take down the remaining half of the notice and handed it to Wen Tiantian.

The noisy voices and eyes around seemed to be non-existent, Qiu Yan hooked the corners of her mouth and stood with her, and the shadows of the two people overlapped and overlapped in the sun.

"Let's go, go to Lu Mansion."

Striding forward, a large and a small back fell in his eyes, and Su Zihe, who was standing in the corner, was silent. He often looks forward to having a woman by Qiu Yan's side, so that he can rest at ease for a while in the days of swords and swords, so that he will not be so tired that his eyes are bloodshot and he will hold on all night to calculate.

Brother Qiu Yan, you have to go back one day, will you bear to let go of such a beautiful girl?

Turn away and disappear into the shadows of the alley.

No matter how warm the sun is, there is always darkness that can't shine. Qiu Yan stood in the light and withstood all the open guns and arrows, so he firmly guarded the darkness and was his most reliable backing.

Brother, I'm waiting for you in the capital!

The Lu family is the richest family in the town, and it is also the leader of many merchants, and the relationship between the Lu family can be found behind the shops that can be seen on the street, even if it is a small street vendor on the roadside, they have to pay some protection money to the Lu family in order to do business safely.

It can be seen that Lu Jiaming does not participate in politics on the surface, but has actually extended his hand to every corner of the town, and controls the lifeblood of the entire town, so the mansion built by Master Lu is far more gorgeous and flamboyant than the mayor and other officials, and no one dares to say a word.

Such a landmark building, Wen Tiantian noticed it on the first day of going down the mountain to shop, and every time she passed by, she couldn't help but sigh, and now standing in front of the gorgeous and tall main gate, looking up at the huge plaque above, she couldn't help but beat a drum in her heart.

"Qiu Yan, are we a little reckless? People are so rich, what kind of master can't be invited, or we should withdraw? ”

It's not that she's afraid of the rich and powerful, but when she stands here and sees the door of other people, she instantly feels unnecessary, why should she make trouble for herself?

"It's all here, what are you afraid of?" Qiu Yan stood behind with his hands on his chest, didn't even bother to look carefully, looked at the sun and said lightly, "It's still early, we still have time to buy some food and cook home after we finish our work." ”

"Or let the master of the Lu family invite us to have a meal, so that you don't have to go home and do trouble."

The corners of Wen Tiantian's eyebrows twitched, it seems that Qiu Yan has been really worried about what to eat for three meals a day recently, and he is really a little bored after his carpenter work is done.

"You're still thinking about eating?"

"Why, you shouldn't be afraid of this moment after the notice is revealed?" Qiu Yan sighed and strode up to knock on the door. "Is there anyone? Let's open the door! ”

Arrogant!

Wen Tiantian was dumbfounded, why didn't she find out that this man had such a side that he was not afraid of?

"It's coming, it's coming!" An annoyed voice came from inside, the door opened with a bang, and a strong man with a big mole on the corner of his mouth roared fiercely, "What are you shouting, calling the soul!" ”

Although the gatekeeper is strong, his height still has no advantage in front of Qiu Yan, and he is straight, but he has just reached the bridge of Qiu Yan's nose and cannot be at eye level.

Qiu Yan didn't pay attention to the other party's momentum at all, and said without humility or arrogance: "Our head of the house has unveiled the notice, come to the house to do something, and please help inform it." ”

The strong man at the gate looked behind the man and saw Wen Tiantian holding two pieces of paper in his hand, "Just you?" Is the little girl literate, and she dares to take it if she knows what we write on this notice? It's not a small amount of courage! ”

Wen Tiantian opened her mouth, she always stayed away from such a big man with a face that was not easy to mess with, and when she talked to others face-to-face at this time, she was even more panicked.

"What are you yelling at?" Qiu Yan saw that Wen Tiantian seemed to be taken aback, walked over and half-blocked her behind her, and said impatiently, "If we dare to take this matter, we must have very comparable abilities, you just need to report it, what so much nonsense!" ”

He has seen a lot of gangsters, and it is a complete waste of time to entangle with these miscellaneous things, so why do you want to do other people's business, Qiu Yan's momentum does not fall behind, but his tone is not a little provocative.

The gatekeeper glanced at the two of them, reached out and snatched the notice Wen Tiantian was holding, took a closer look, and turned sideways to give way, "Come in and wait, don't run around." ”

Qiu Yan escorted Wen Tiantian and was surrounded by four housekeepers with sticks as soon as she entered the door, Wen Tiantian sighed, there are many rules in big families, it seems that you have to be more careful in the back.

looked up at Qiu Yan beside him, just to meet his gaze: "Are you afraid?" ”

"Afraid of what?"

"If you don't do this job well, you're going to be burdened by me. Looking at this situation, the master of the house is definitely not a good talker, maybe he will pull us out and beat us to death, and then we will not eat food, but eat knives, sticks, and bricks......"

Qiu Yan poked her forehead with her finger and said with a smile: "What kind of mess are you thinking about all day long, can you eat bricks?" Return knives and sticks, you see what they have in their hands, take a bite and taste it! ”

"Go, go, I'm just making an analogy! Don't complain if you want to be affected by me, I didn't let you come! ”

After getting along for a few months, of course he knew the little girl's duplicitous character, and held her cold little hand with his backhand, and the warmth of his palm came, which made Wen Tiantian's hanging heart rely on a little.

"We're just here to help, you just have to do it, it doesn't matter what the outcome is." The mere Lu Mansion is not worthy of letting him take it seriously.

didn't say anything in the second half of the sentence, after all, all the people present were the descendants of the Lu family, which would inevitably make people think that they were too arrogant.

The gatekeeper came back quickly, waved a few family members to retreat, and led the two to see a middle-aged man in a gray robe, and then Qiu Yan and Wen Tiantian followed the middle-aged man and came to the gate of a courtyard.

Standing in front of the door, the middle-aged man didn't say much and asked the two little guys at the door to unlock it, "Go in, knock on the door and come out after the lady is cured, the consultation fee written on the notice will not be less than you." ”

The middle-aged man is completely routine, he has sent more than a dozen people who swear to accept this matter one after another, Mo said that he will cure his wife's illness, and not even one can come out alive, this pair of men and women is just another pair of outlaws who are obsessed with money in his opinion.

As soon as he stood at the door, Wen Tiantian suddenly frowned. Wisps of black gas surged above the courtyard, and even seeped out through the cracks in the closed door, as if the door was closed in a deserted mass grave, full of yin qi and lifeless.

The small door opened, a faint yin qi rushed to his face, the surrounding temperature dropped instantly, and the curious voice of the dead ghost sounded in his ears.

"Huh? This thing is not small, it seems that it is the sin of Lu Fu again. Hey, let's go, let's go take a look! ”
