Chapter 44: Danger Happens at Home
"Where is the Night Fragrance Walk?
Why do you want to come to my house to collect travel fees? ”
On the first day of moving in, someone came to collect the money, and the nine girls felt a little excessive.
This rickety old man with a vicissitudes of life has long been prepared in his heart, there are often people in this city who move from the countryside to the city, and they don't understand that it is not easy to live in the city, and some rules that must be followed, such as pouring night incense.
So, I just wanted to explain with a smile.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a young man next to him opened his mouth to explain for him: "This little lady doesn't know, it's not easy to live in this city, and it costs money for food, clothing, housing and transportation."
For example, this night incense, that is, the thing that people drown, is naturally a good thing for farming and fertilizing fields in the countryside.
But in the city, it is a pickled thing that costs money to be processed outside the city.
Otherwise, if you fall in the streets and alleys, it won't take long, and there will be feces and urine everywhere in this county.
So, some people came up with a way to find a few special people to collect the feces of each household and go outside the city to dispose of them.
This money is spent to ask people to send these pickled things outside the city to be processed and poured out, which is called pouring night incense. ”
The ninth girl was a little confused, although she had studied, she had never lived in the city, and she had never thought that one day they would need to pay someone to dispose of the feces and urine in the house.
If you are in a country village, the feces and drownings will be piled up and fermented and then fertilized.
The old man first thanked the young man, and the bad guy explained it to him.
The ninth girl also looked at this young man, who should be eighteen or nineteen years old, thin and tall, with a white face, and even her clothes were extremely plain.
So he gave a salute: "Thank you for solving your doubts!" ”
Then he asked the old man: "The little woman has just come down from the countryside, she doesn't know the rules of this city, and she doesn't know the old man, how to charge for this poured night incense?" ”
The old man hurriedly said: "The travel fee is not much, the travel fee is not much, and the monthly five cents can be paid!" ”
The five cents of the month are indeed not much, and when they heard this amount, the nine girls were also relieved.
But then I felt distressed, and I could buy two catties of food for five cents.
But he still said to the old man: "Wait a minute, old man, I'll go to the house to get the money!" ”
After saying that, he turned and walked inside, forgetting to close the door.
When she entered, the tall, thin young man in plain clothes went up to the door and looked in.
The old man who poured the night incense hurriedly stopped: "Childe, how can you spy on a little woman like this, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of others by doing this!" ”
Unexpectedly, the tall and thin young man turned his head sharply, and glared at the old man with sharp eyes: "Don't be nosy, be careful of your flesh and skin, you must know that your old bone stick can't stand the toss!" ”
The old man was so frightened by this sudden sharp gaze that he took two steps back, his lips trembled twice, and he no longer dared to speak.
The tall and thin young man looked in from the side of the doorway, and could vaguely see from the doorway that there was no one else inside except for a six or seven-year-old child, and he did not hear a man's voice inside.
After glaring at the old man twice, he said, "If you dare to talk more and make your lips and tongues, be careful of suffering from the flesh and skin!" ”
After saying that, he left.
At this time, the Nine Girls walked out again, but this time he was followed by Old Man Zuo.
"Let the old man wait for a long time!"
Seeing the ninth girl again, the old man's lips moved but he didn't seem to dare to say anything.
After the old man Zuo came out, he saw the old man pouring the night incense, so he asked: "Old brother, you said that you are from the night incense shop, do you have a certificate to collect the money?" ”
The old man who poured the night incense hurriedly replied: "Naturally, there is!" ”
After that, he lifted the placket of his clothes, and a wooden sign hung on the belt around his waist, with the words "night fragrance" on it.
"This is the voucher of the night incense line, five in January, every family is, no matter the size of a family of ten!
But if it's more than 10 people, it will cost more! ”
Old man Zuo looked at it and nodded: "Give it!" ”
The ninth girl gave five cents, and the old man told her what time in the morning she would come to collect the feces and there would be a rattle.
Looking at the figure of the old man in the distance, the ninth girl sighed a little: "It turns out that in this county, it is really different from the countryside!" ”
Old man Zuo nodded and said, "Naturally, it should be like this, otherwise everyone will live in the county seat."
If the poor live in the county, what do they do to make a living?
Rich people live in the county seat, so they naturally have to throw some money out and let the poor work for them, so that they can enjoy their lives.
However, don't give it to a person who comes and asks for money, you have to ask what the reason is, but there is a certificate!
After all, there are many rich people in this city, and there are many scammers!
Therefore, you need to keep your eyes open to live in this county! ”
The ninth girl nodded, feeling that what Ah Gong said was reasonable, for example, the old man just now, if he was a liar and he was easily cheated out of money, then other liars would feel that they were easy to bully, and they also flocked to him.
Wouldn't he be deceived and bankrupt?
Although you may not be able to cheat many copper coins by going bankrupt, it is not good to be deceived after all, isn't it?
"Ah Gong, come in and teach me how to practice guns!"
Running out with the pier of the lance, he pulled the old man Zuo and walked into the door.
Thirty paces away from the alley, around the corner, the tall and thin young man leaned lightly against the wall, his eyes glancing at this side.
"An old, a small, a woman, hey, hey, hey, hey......"
When the old man was pulled in by the child at the door, the woman followed and closed the door.
The tall and thin young man stood up straight, patted his plain clothes, and left leisurely.
Chen Yun didn't know about this, he was busy now.
Luo Dutou sent him 10 militiamen to cooperate with Li Zhutou to search and interrogate.
What Chen Yun has to do is very simple, he just follows all the way, and every time he goes to a home where a child is lost, he uses the evil qi on his body to sense whether there are some strange things in this house, such as the evil aura of monsters and ghosts.
To be honest, not really.
Li Zhutou took him to eight houses in a row, and he didn't feel any evil energy, whether it was a monster or a ghost.
After running to eight places in the city in a row, Li Zhutou still couldn't find any clues in the family's inquiries, so he had to withdraw his troops for the time being and talk about it tomorrow.
There's no way, head-catching is not a fairy.
"I'm afraid that it was taken away by some flower shooters, and the female baby is generally sent to other places to be sold to Qinglou, and before she grows up, there are still a few years to live in peace.
The boy is miserable!
Harvesting and cutting, breaking hands and feet, bending them into strange shapes, and then throwing them on the street to beg for people to look strange.
The rarer it is, the more money it makes!
Some time ago, Fucheng caught a beggar gang, they abducted the child, broke his hands and feet and raised him in the jar, and came out with his head exposed.
There was a girl who had grown to sixteen, and her head was very beautiful, but she had only one head sticking out of the jar.
Those people treated her as a beautiful snake, and put her on the street to make money, just because she was too rare to make countless money every day!
Later, someone broke the jar and tried to rescue her, but found that the body inside the jar had already curled up and did not look like a human form, like a worm.
It's unbearable to look at directly!
In the end, the girl saw her body and begged someone to kill her, she didn't even have hands and feet, someone handed her a knife, she couldn't die by herself. ”
On the way back to the county office, Li Zhutou talked to Chen Yun about his guess with a heavy face.
His words also made Chen Yun feel bad at all.
"Alright, I'll just say that, if we can find these people quickly, we can save these children!
But that's going to have to wait until dawn, and you'll be busy until dark on your first day on duty today.
Go back early so that your siblings don't worry! ”
Chen Yun didn't know that at this time, not far from their house, someone was staring at their door.
"From this afternoon to this time, is there an omission in between?"
The tall, thin young man was asking a man carefully.
The man was a beggar, who had been hiding here since the afternoon, but had never been to a lively place, and he did not expect that he was actually an eyeliner.
"There was no omission, there were no men in and out of the house, but the old man took the six or seven-year-old boy out for a walk and came back!
At this time, there should be an old man, a young woman and a woman in the courtyard! ”
