In the front yard, several men are sweeping the ground with brooms, they are all wearing modern summer clothes like Shao Jingshi, which is incompatible with the quaint house. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Zhengyou was thinking in his heart, these people seemed to be the Shao family's family members, and the young man in front of him turned around and introduced him and the ghost servant with a smile: "These people are my family." ”

"It's not a family. Wang Zhengyou muttered in a low voice.

Shao Jingshi shook his head and smiled: "What age is this, how can there be any family." ”

Careless, forgetting that this person has amazing ear power, Wang Zhengyou laughed a few times, and greeted the Shao family members with the ghost attendant.

Shao Jingshi continued to say to the two: "When I got up early this morning, I found a few mice in the house, so I temporarily cleaned the yard and made the two of them smile. ”

"Mouse?" Wang Zhengyou was stunned.

"Well, rats. Shao Jingshi nodded, "I haven't seen you for many years." ”

It's rare, Wang Zhengyou secretly said in his heart, you are really a god in this place.

As they spoke, they had already walked into the main hall, and after the three of them sat down, Shao Jingshi made a pot of hot tea for the ghost attendant and Wang Zhengyou.

The ghost attendant took the teacup handed by Shao Jingshi, took a symbolic sip, and then put it on the table next to him, and then sat back on the main seat Shao Jingshi asked, "Mr. Shao, I don't know anything - what do you mean when you just said that my temptation is meaningless?"

Shao Jingshi was about to answer, when a young voice came: "Father, are they coming?"

Shao Jingshi smiled slightly, and scolded softly: "Shixuan, don't be rude! Come and meet the two distinguished guests!"

"Yes!" Before he could finish speaking, a young man in civilian clothes walked in through the side door of the main hall, he looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, his appearance was quite delicate, and the lines of his eyebrows were very classical.

Shao Jingshi stood up, patted the young man on the shoulder, and introduced to the two: "This is the dog Shao Shixuan. Then he said to the young man, "Shi Xuan, these two are distinguished guests from the north." ”

Shao Shi Xuan blinked, arched his hand to the two, and said crisply: "Boy Shao Shi Xuan, I have seen two distinguished guests!"

The ghost attendant and Wang Zhengyou nodded in return, and Wang Zhengyou also sighed in his heart, worthy of being a hermit, this etiquette is enough.

Shao Shi Xuan saluted, a pair of big eyes circled around Wang Zhengyou, and said with a grin: "You are the famous 'fast knife hand' Wang Dadaoke, right?

Wang Zhengyou thought to himself, although the Shao family is in seclusion, but they still know a lot about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, the father and son in front of him are a clear example, he was praised, and he was in a very good mood, so he smiled and nodded: "Why not!"

Shao Shixuan looked at the ghost waiter who was silently drinking tea, and said with a smile: "I have seen ugliness, I don't know this brother, and I ask my brother for forgiveness, but since my brother can get Uncle Wang's help, he must also be a great character, right?"

The ghost attendant and Wang Zhengyou listened to him speak in a tone and felt very interesting, they were both smiling, and Shao Jingshi smiled and reprimanded his son: "Shi Xuan, you are naughty again!" He glanced at the ghost attendant, his expression was a little solemn, "This distinguished guest can't be contemptuous!"

Shao Shi Xuan responded: "Yes," then turned to the ghost waiter, and arched his hand, "It's rude, don't be surprised by my brother." ”

The ghost attendant waved his hand, and when he looked at Shao Jing meaningfully, he was very curious in his heart, what did this person know that made him value himself so much?

Shao Jing over there asked Shao Shixuan: "How is it?"

Shao Shixuan said in a low voice: "It's still like that, one by one stupid and stupid." ”

The ghost servant and Wang Zhengyou didn't know what the father and son were talking about, so they looked at each other suspiciously.

Shao Jingshi listened to Shao Shixuan's answer, nodded, turned around, and said to the ghost attendant with a smile: "I'll tell you the answer to that question now, two, come with me." ”

As soon as he said that, he walked towards the side door, Shao Shi Xuan winked at the ghost servant and Wang Zhengyou, and followed, and when the two saw this, although they were confused, they also stood up and followed behind the Shao father and son.

Leaving the main hall, Wang Zhengyou asked the ghost attendant in a low voice: "When you were in the entrance just now, what did you mean by what you said to Mr. Shao?

After listening to Wang Zhengyou's question, the ghost attendant explained: "That 'Shao Mansion' is a cover for the Shao family to show the world, and people who don't know the inside story will not associate it with the Shao family." ”

"What do you mean?" Wang Zhengyou listened even more confused.

The ghost attendant sighed: "The young family of Wuzhen is a young man. ”

Wang Zhengyou suddenly realized, figured out the joints, patted his forehead, and said to himself: "It turned out that he was playing word games! I always thought it was the Shao family in Wuzhen...... Hey, I didn't expect there to be someone with the surname ......"

He spoke in a louder voice, so that Shao Jingshi and Shao Shi Xuan's father and son, who were walking in front, listened, the former shook his head slightly, and Shao Shi Xuan turned his head and made a grimace at Wang Zhengyou.

Wang Zhengyou grimaced.

The father and son of the Shao family led the ghost servant and Wang Zhengyou along the corridor that ran through the Shao family's mansion to the backyard.

There is an exquisitely arranged garden in the backyard, in the center is a pool, there is a small arch bridge across the water, there is a pavilion in the middle of the arch bridge, next to a craggy rockery, the pool is surrounded by a circle of flower beds, which are planted with all kinds of flowers, it is in early autumn, it is a variety of chrysanthemums competing for beauty, and the periphery of the flower bed is planted with a circle of verdant bamboo.

Seeing such a scene, Wang Zhengyou couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that there is such a place!"

This young family in Wuzhen is really living a fairy-like life, he secretly said in his heart, in this season, to be able to sit in the pavilion to drink and enjoy the flowers, wouldn't it be a great joy in life!

Hearing this, the young father and son smiled without saying a word, and took the two of them across the arch bridge, out of the corridor, there is a stone road in the flower bed, leading to the depths of the bamboo forest, everyone walked into the bamboo forest along the stone road, only to see the green bamboo under the shade, a small wooden house hidden in it, if not approached at all.

The group came to the small room, which had no windows and an old-fashioned lock hanging from the wooden door.

Shao Jingshi stopped, turned around, and said to the ghost attendant and Wang Zhengyou: "This was originally our family's warehouse, but today it is temporarily used for other purposes - I just said that there were rats in the house last night, and those rats are kept here. ”

Wang Zhengyou was stunned for a moment, and he realized that the mouse that Shao Jingshi said in his mouth might not be a real mouse.

The ghost waiter was silent, he faintly heard a voice coming from the warehouse, but he couldn't hear what was being said.

Shao Jingshi glanced at Shao Shixuan, who understood, took out the key to open the door lock, and then opened the wooden door.

The voice of the voice was amplified more than twice in an instant, and the ghost attendant's heart moved, the sound insulation effect of this small house is so good, probably not used as a warehouse itself.

Wang Zhengyou looked into the room, only to see a large area of darkness, listening to the noise was very noisy, obviously more than one person was talking, knowing that these people were the rats in Shao Jingshi's mouth, these voices were gossiping, and they couldn't hear what they were saying at all, so they couldn't help frowning secretly.

Shao Jingshi made a "please" gesture, the four of them walked into the hut together, Shao Shixuan pressed the switch next to the door, the incandescent lamp hanging on the ceiling flashed a few times, lit up, the scene under the dim light startled the ghost servant and Wang Zhengyou, only to see more than a dozen strong men were tied together firmly, sitting together on the ground, their expressions were dull, their eyes were blank, their lips were moving, the ghost waiter thought they were talking, but now they found out that this is not the case, these people are muttering to themselves.

Even though it was daytime, the eerie scene still made the two of them feel uncomfortable.

Shao Jingshi explained softly: "This is the rat that came in last night. After a pause, he added, "The rats of the Sea Sand Pie." There was a deep scorn in his tone.

"Haisha Sect?" Wang Zhengyou was stunned for a moment, carefully looked at these men, and finally fixed his gaze on one person's face, and shouted, "Cao Ding!"

"Who?" asked the ghost attendant.

Wang Zhengyou raised his hand and pointed at a man with a public face, and said to the three of them: "This person is the fifth disciple of Nian Dengshun, the head of the Haisha faction, Cao Ding!"

"Oh, that's right. The ghost waiter replied, and then asked, "What is his nickname?"

Before Wang Zhengyou could answer, Shao Shixuan interjected with a smile: "If there is, it will probably be called 'mediocre'." ”

"You're really joking," Wang Zhengyou laughed when he heard this, and said to the ghost attendant, "What the young master said is right, Cao Ding's biggest characteristic is that he has no characteristics, and his strength is not at the same level as his senior brother and second senior brother. So there is no fame in the rivers and lakes, and naturally there is no nickname. ”

Cao Ding didn't react to this, and muttered to himself in a daze.

"I really didn't expect Zhu Xing to send him to Wuzhen," Wang Zhengyou touched his chin, and turned to ask Shao Jingshi, "Mr. Shao, how did he become like this?"

"I've been drugged by rats," Shao Jingshi raised his foot and kicked the short weapons and poisonous salt sacs piled up in the corner, and replied in a flat tone, "Last night, it was he who brought these rats into the yard and wanted to do some insidious deeds. ”

Wang Zhengyouxin said what is called rat medicine, and was about to ask, when he heard Shao Jingshi say softly: "Wang Zhuangshi, in fact, what you said is right, the so-called magic is a clever deception to put it bluntly, but the world does not understand the principle, so they feel that the magic is mysterious and unpredictable." ”

When Wang Zhengyou heard this, he looked at Cao Ding and the others again, and then asked uncertainly, "Are they...... Tricked?"

Shao Jingshi nodded and continued: "In fact, the reason why I know about the visit of the two distinguished guests, as well as ...... This is the matter of Wu Yin's orphans-" he glanced at the ghost attendant, and the latter's expression changed when he heard his words, "all of them knew from their mouths, and the two of them also knew that the mouths of rats that had taken rat medicine would become very loose. ”
