Volume 1 Chapter 274 Siege and Interception

As soon as the two of them left, Xiao Er said to Xu He: "Xiao He, you can sleep in my house for a while." ”

To be honest, Xu He is very sleepy now, and he naps like a chicken pecking rice during meals.

But the person named Tuesday just now was very weird, so he didn't dare to take it lightly, so he said to Lu Heng: "You go to sleep!" I'm not sleepy! ”

When Lu Heng heard this, he unconsciously yawned and said, "Okay, then I'll go to sleep first, what do you call me!" ”

After the girl took her to rest, Xu He looked around and said, "Little Er, I didn't expect your family to be quite good!" ”

Although there are not many rooms in the second house, only three main houses, they have surrounded a lot of courtyards with adobe, and some vegetables are planted in the courtyard, and there are silkworm houses on both sides of the courtyard and kitchens on the other.

When Xiao Er took Xu He to the backyard, he found that there were two small billet houses here, one was a pigsty and the other was hung with a curtain, which should be a dry toilet.

In the countryside, dry toilets are generally open to pigsties, to put it mildly, people finish pulling pigs to eat, this thing can't be thought, and after thinking about it, they don't want to eat pork.

However, in these days, people with status do rarely eat pork.

For example, the people in "The Book of Rites: Shaoyi" said: "A gentleman does not eat porpoise."

Of course, this sentence has been misinterpreted by later generations, and the original meaning is not to eat the internal organs of captive animals.

But it is also true that pigs were really not accepted by the ancient upper class.

Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng said: "The husband is a parasitic pig, and he is not guilty of killing!" ”

It means that this adulterer, like the pig in the pigsty, is fornicated, and even if he is killed, there is nothing wrong with him.

Therefore, pigs had the meaning of fornication at that time, and the Qin people and later people disdained to eat pork.

There is another reason, that is, the scene in front of me, the environment of the pigsty is too dirty, human manure and pig manure are mixed together, and pigs eat and drink Lazar on these feces.

Xiao Er saw that Xu He was serious and smiled: "This pigsty is still after I helped Xiao He run twice, and then used the money given by Xiao He to build Xiao Embryo and buy a pig." My father said that when he was fattened, he would sell it to a butcher every year, and he would be able to marry a daughter-in-law in less than two years! ”

Xu He laughed and said: "When the uncle comes back, you tell him, let him quickly help you find a matchmaker, you don't have enough money to find me!" ”

Xiao Er smiled honestly, and it was estimated that Xu He would make a joke.

At this time, Xu He saw that a door had also opened on the backyard wall.

Xiao Er followed his gaze and introduced, "That's where my mother washes clothes." ”

In the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River, many houses are behind the river, and women often take their clothes down the stairs and take their clothes to the river to wash.

Xu He came to the door with great interest and looked out through the firewood.

Suddenly, he noticed that there seemed to be someone on the other side of the river outside the door staring at his side.

At first, Xu He thought he was too sensitive.

After looking at it for a while, the man's eyes were always fixed on this side.

Xu He called Xiao Er and said, "Xiao Er, look at the person on the other side, do you know him?" ”

Xiao Er leaned to the door to take a look, and said in surprise: "It's Tuesday, how can he ......?"

Xu He couldn't help but think about whether there was any flaw just now.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I don't know what the problem is.

Xiao Er said: "I can't stay here, Xiaohe, I'll send you out of here now!" ”

Xu He stretched out his hand to signal him to be calm, and he still leaned on the door and looked at the other side.

It's strange to see him staring at the backyard all the time on Tuesday.

Ordinary people are staring at the front door, but he is good, staring at the back door and not saying anything, but also across the river.

Xu He analyzed it, which illustrates three points.

One is that he has accomplices who are staring at the front door at this time, but although they suspect that there is something wrong with Xiao Er's family, they are only responsible for surveillance, not for arresting people.

Otherwise, Tuesday would not be monitored across the river, but should be ambushed near Xiao Er's house, and if a stranger comes out, they can directly arrest someone.

Also, even if they were suspicious, they must have someone to inform them.

After figuring it out, Xu He said: "Little second brother, let's go, let's go back and discuss!" ”

The two came to the house with solemn expressions, and Xiao Er said to the girl: "Go, take that ...... Son-in-law wake up! ”

After a while, Lu Heng's eyes were red, and he came out yawning, and as soon as he sat down, he languished and asked, "What's wrong?" I woke people up as soon as I fell asleep! ”

Xu He said: "We are being targeted!" ”

When Lu Heng heard this, he suddenly stopped sleepy, and his face changed greatly and asked, "Who?" Is that the hall master? ”

Xu He shook his head, turned to Xiao Er and said, "Is there a way to send us away without alarming others?" ”

Xiao Er thought for a while and said, "There is a small sampan in the backyard river, walking from the river, even if you see it on Tuesday, you can't catch up with us." ”

Xu He thought about it, and it could only be like this.

A few people packed up and went to the backyard.

Xiao Er glanced at Xu He, and when he saw Xu He nodding at him, he turned around and opened the door of the backyard.

As soon as he opened the door, Xu He was obviously stunned when he saw Tuesday on the other side.

Then I was surprised when I saw the figures of the four people.

The four of them didn't have time to think about it, Xiao Er directly untied the cable of the small sampan, let the four of them get on the boat, and headed south with a penny.

Sure enough, after seeing the four of them leave, Tuesday hurriedly followed them after them.

But after about a mile or so of the waterway, the boat turned a corner and sailed into a small river.

There is no road by the river, and Tuesday looked at the yellow mud pond all over the ground, knowing that he couldn't catch up, he didn't feel annoyed at all, turned around and left.

Just when the four of them thought they were getting rid of him, they saw two boats rowing behind them.

The person sitting on it, Xu He, knew that it was the two big men who greeted the owner of the Mosquito Incense Hall on the bamboo platform last night.

Sure enough, it was exposed!

"Xu He, what should I do?" Lu Heng obviously knew those people as well, and hurriedly asked.

Xu He said to Xiao Er: "How is it." Can you get rid of them? ”

Xiao Er shook his head while nodding: "This river is narrow, and it will definitely not be able to get rid of it!" You can only keep going! ”

Xu He said: "Then don't worry about it, just draw in the direction of Hailing County, I don't believe it, these people dare to arrest people under Hailing City!" ”

Xiao Er didn't answer this time, but the frequency of the penny in his hand was faster.

The two boats behind them followed them for a while, and seemed to have discovered Xu He's intentions, and wanted to catch up with them several times in the middle.

The two big men shouted frantically behind them, threatening Xiao Er to stop the boat.

But Xiao Er didn't care about them, he was single-minded, and he only kept taking the girl to stop with a little bit of energy, and the little sampan was like an arrow, and the speed was extremely fast.

It's not always like this, Xiao Er said: "Let's turn around to the Grass River immediately, there are many salt boats and grass boats along the Grass River, and when the time comes, use more boats, let's get rid of them!" ”

But when they came to the Grass River, the hearts of the four people in the boat were cold.

It turned out that in the past, there were indeed many people in Caohe, and it went straight to Xujia Village in the east of Hailing City.

However, because of the heavy water that has just occurred, although there are many boats on the whole river, the big boats are moored on both banks, and many small boats have even been pulled ashore by the boat owners.

This is not the reason that makes the four of them cold, what really makes Xu He desperate is that the pursuers behind him just now have changed from two boats to four, and in front of them are three big boats lying across the river, and there are two people standing in the bow of the boat, it is the master of the Mosquito Coils Hall and the chief of He Liang.

"Boy, are you still running? Did You Know? This Hailing County is full of our eyes, where are you running? The Mosquito Coils Hall Master laughed wildly!
