Chapter Seventy-Two: Lost in Entanglement
Bian Xiaoxia was happy in his heart, only pretended to have diarrhea, and went out two or three more times. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Du Shenfei had something in his heart, and he didn't need to sleep, so he smiled secretly in his heart: "Let me earn you fifty taels of silver for the road." Pretending to toss and turn and couldn't sleep, he turned over and over in bed, and turned over again, half-squinting at this little man who went out and came in, came in and went out. When he got to Yin, he pretended to be asleep again, and he didn't snore, but pretended to snore softly, and clearly told Bian Xiaoxia that he had slept.
The little man over there stayed up for most of the night, wearing a coat, going in and out, it was originally a fake cold, and he was blown by the cold wind in the middle of the night for most of the night, and he really had a runny nose and coughed. Bian Xiaoxia scolded in his heart: "This ghost surnamed Du looks old and stable, but he is actually a fool, and he still drinks my footwashing water?" It's just that I didn't expect him to be young and insomnia, and he didn't fall asleep until now, so I didn't sleep with him either, and I caught a cold." ”
Bian Xiaoxia turned over and jumped out of bed, put on his burden, came to touch the box, and found that the original chain was not on it, and he was overjoyed, and said in his heart: "These three fools, the lock is also here." I'm too lazy to carry all these rags and clothes for you. It's still the silver of this white flower. He gently lifted the lid of the box, reached in with one hand and felt a heavy, hard pack, thinking that it must be a silver tael, and brought it up, and gently closed the lid of the box, and slowly walked out of the door, and closed the door again, and ran out of the little inn with a puff of smoke.
Du Shenfei squinted his eyes on the bed, and when he saw Bian Xiaoxia go out for the last time, he never came back, and he couldn't help laughing, laughing until his stomach hurt.
Early the next morning, everyone got up to brush their teeth and cough, Xie Youlong saw that Bian Xiaoxia was empty in the nest, and said strangely: "Little goldfish, this old Bian, why did you go to the pit for so long, and you didn't see it back, was it so careless that you fell into the pit again?"
The calf had already woken up and said, "In this weather, you will die of cold if you fall into the pit, so I'll go to the pit to take a look." ”
Xie Youlong said: "You put on your clothes and go again, don't catch a cold like him, it's not convenient to have diarrhea on the boat." ”
Du Shenfei couldn't help it, and said with a smile: "Calf, you don't have to look at it, this old man is not a good person." ”
Xie Youlong was surprised: "Little goldfish, how can you say that he is not a good person." This man is a poor talent, just like me, who went to the spring exam. ”
The calf said first: "If you have diarrhea, of course you are not a good person. ”
Du Shenfei smiled: "I don't mean that, I mean that this person is a thief, pretending to be a showman, just a disguise, but in fact, he is an expert in swaggering and cheating." ”
Xie Youlong was surprised: "How can you see that he is a thief?"
Du Shenfei said: "Do you just see if the bag of silver in our box is still there?"
The calf went to open it first, and the burden was gone.
Xie Youlong said: "Little goldfish, wasn't the silver hidden in your bed yesterday?"
Du Shenfei said: "Exactly, so this silver has not been lost." ”
The calf said first: "Big brother, since the silver has not been lost, how can you accuse people of being thieves." ”
Du Shenfei said: "You stupid melon, if I don't hide the silver and replace it with broken bricks, then what he stole is our coil." ”
Xie Youlong said: "Then how did you tell that he was a thief?"
Du Shenfei said: "He is 'trying to get his aunt' plan, he accosted you from the beginning, pretending to be a fellow villager, but he doesn't have a Tanzhou accent." He also pretended to be a scholar and a gift, and said that he was also going to Lin'an to take the exam, deceived our favor, and then tried every possible way to find out how much money we had, and put his money in our box, so that he would know where we hid our money. Later, he pretended to have diarrhea, and kept opening and closing the door and running in and out, so that we would not suspect him. ”
Xie Youlong said: "In this way, this old man is really a thief. I also find two oddities. ”
Du Shenfei said: "What does Mr. think is strange?"
Xie Youlong said: "First, his plate is wrapped too little, only fifty taels of silver, how dare he go? Why does he know nothing about this? Second, the "Su Shen Good Prescription" on psyllium to treat diarrhea, I have tried it many times, and it is effective, but he has no effect at all. ”
The calf said first: "Sir, it doesn't matter if he is effective or not." We also earned fifty taels, and we will buy a bottle of wine to drink on the ship. It's just that I have to finish washing and run away. ”
Xie Youlong said: "How did the calf say that he should run away quickly?"
The calf said first: "Don't run away, the thief has come to the door again to ask for money?"
Du Shenfei said: "I haven't seen a thief dare to come to the door in broad daylight to ask for something, then it is a robbery, and the crime will be increased, ask him to set up." ”
Xie Youlong laughed.
Before dawn, the ship had already started again, and it was not until the next day that it came to Wuzikou. This Wuzikou is a precipitous place, where thieves are rampant, and it is the key point of the rivers and lakes on Jiangnan West Road. Fan Chengda's "Luan Luan" said: "Wu Zi, Poyang Lake tail." It is called a thief area, and it is not allowed to sail in the wind, and there is a boat companion. ”
The boat only came here, and Du Shenfei and the three of them had to change boats again. At that time, I had to get off the boat first, and I was going to find an inn here to stay for one night, and find another boat to sit on. I saw hundreds of boats of all sizes lined up on the riverside.
One by one, people were heading to the shore.
Du Shenfei said to Xie Youlong: "Sir, you and the calf are waiting on the shore for a while, watching the horses and luggage. I went ashore to see where there was an inn, so as not to carry my luggage around. ”
Xie Youlong said: "Okay, you go and come back quickly." ”
Du Shenfei jumped ashore and looked for an inn. Xie Youlong and the calf also carried all the cage luggage ashore first, put them in a pile, sat on a stone, looked at the shore, and waited for Du Shenfei to come back.
At this time, I saw a person on the shore carrying a load of white radish covered with mud, coming to the river to clean, presumably washing this load of radish and going back to chop and cook and feed the pigs.
The man looked at Xie Youlong and Niu Lixian, put down the load of turnips, greeted the two, and said, "Hello, two friends!"
Xie Youlong also replied politely: "This friend, you are good!"
The man said, "Friends from afar, you should be careful when you come to our place, there are many liars and robbers here." ”
Xie Youlong said: "Thank you for your kind reminder, we will be careful." ”
The man said: "I am a farmer in the neighborhood and I raise pigs for a living, so I often see this kind of thing. Be careful and careful, the thief here is quite cunning, and if you are not careful, he will take your belongings. ”
Xie Youlong was curious: "These thieves, how are they cunning?"
The man said: "Seeing that you are far away, so as not to be deceived, I am a good person, so I will show you." ”
Xie Youlong felt very strange and didn't reply yet.
Then the man said, "Yesterday I saw a boat stop here, and many guests came down, and two people like you sat on this rock, and put their luggage in the same way, and the horses stood by it like this. And then a thief came over like that. ”
The man suddenly ran to Xie Youlong and Niu Calf Xian, looked at Xie Youlong and Niu Calf Xian, and said, "Then he opened the box like this." ”
I saw that this man only touched his hand on the brass lock, and the lock ghost caused it to fall to the ground.
The man lifted the lid of the box, and as he took the bag of silver, he said, "And so he took out the taels, and then jumped on the horse, and then struck the horse, and ran away." ”
Before the words were finished, this person had already jumped on the horse that Xie Youlong had newly bought, and ran away in a puff of smoke.
Xie Youlong thought to himself: "This person is too enthusiastic, but it's not easy to refuse his kindness." ”
The calf said first: "The thief here is really powerful, thanks to this little brother's reminder." ”
Xie Youlong looked at the man's distant back and said in surprise: "Although this person has good intentions, why didn't he go back?"
The calf stared at the direction of the man's departure and said, "This birdman is really good, and he doesn't want a load of turnips." I happen to be thirsty, so let's take one of his turnips and eat them to quench my thirst. ”
Xie Youlong thought for a while, and suddenly came to his senses: "Ahhh You hurry up and chase him. ”
The calf first suddenly sobered up, lifted the wheel Buddha light axe, jumped on his horse, and chased away.
