As soon as the rice shop in Hanmen Alley opened, Alai rushed in, and like all those who are shy in his pocket, he had to ask the price carefully before buying something, so as not to embarrass the money when it was not available;

Seeing that Alai looked at this and then that with a very hesitant look, the young man from Mi Xing walked over with a sneer and asked:

"Guest officer, it's all good rice, just milled!"

Alai didn't speak, he didn't say anything like a deaf man. Finally, he suddenly reached into the bag, a bag of broken rice for five cents a pound, grabbed the rough broken rice, and the melancholy expression on his face seemed to say:

"How can you eat such broken rice dregs!"

But he did not dare to raise his head, but hooked his head and said to the young man:

"Weigh five pounds!"

The young man looked at the rice, then at the people, and finally, carelessly, grabbed a small cloth bag and weighed him five catties of broken rice. As he was paying, the young man saw that he had loosened himself from his clenched fist, and rolled out three hot pieces of money, which were placed in the palm of the young man's palm, which really disgusted the young man, as if his money, which was dirty and smelly, and with wriggling maggots, which made the young man's heart itch; he hurriedly slammed the money he had taken and threw it into the cash box on the counter, and without looking at him any more, he turned his head away, and let Alley walk out of the shop.

At this time, the sun is shining, the temperature is much warmer, the eaves along the street are flowing with melting snow, and the middle of the street is half the shadow of the house, and the sun is generally bright. Alai was very cold, but he did not dare to walk in the sun, because he felt that in the sun, his down-and-out appearance must be extremely ugly! Moreover, he felt that walking in the sun was easy for people to recognize, that he was the coachman of the former governor Wang Zhi, and that he had given the master evidence to let their family spend such a cold winter in the prison grounds!

And so, with half a sack of broken rice in one hand and a few remaining coins in the other, he walked listlessly in the dark middle of the street, when suddenly his nose smelled a smell of wine. So, he hesitated to stop his steps and turned to look at the door of the shop with a striking word for wine. At this moment, he was very embarrassed, if he bought wine, the family would no longer have money to buy vegetables! However, if he did not drink a little wine, he would not be able to lift his spirits, and his heart would only be filled with hopeless sorrow, which would make him miserable!

In the end, the heart that got rid of sorrow prevailed. So he stepped up the stone steps of the winery and said to the fat woman:

"Sister-in-law beats two corners of wine!"

"Which one?"

"Let's see through the bottle!"

It is commonly known as the fragrance of the bottle, that is, it is very heavy with water, and you can only smell some of the aroma of wine! It is also the cheapest wine in the wine shop. Three or five sips of two-horned wine were drunk by him on the spot, because he drank on an empty stomach, there was nothing in his stomach to dissolve, and in an instant, the wine came up, and he felt a little lightheaded, dizzy. In this way, his spirit is much better, and he dares to go out into the sun to bask in the sun; his heart is as if he has eaten honey, sweet and sweet, and he laughs when he meets people!

At this time, the snow on the roof also melted very quickly, and some roofs could already see the tiles under the residual snow, but the dripping water under the eaves became more urgent, which also made people feel that the house was extremely cold. So, everyone moved out of their stools in twos and threes and sat in the sun on the street.

At this moment, someone saw a young man in a white robe, holding a black sheath sword in his hand, his expression was as bright as the sun, and he walked through every shop.

Inadvertently, Alai looked up and saw that this person was walking towards him. Suddenly, his heart was shocked, and the faint drunkenness was suddenly dissipated. So he turned around and walked away, but when he turned around, he saw a big man in an ochre robe, with a big ghost-headed knife in his hand, also walking towards him!

These two people, one before the other, are Wu Shuang and She Gang. It seems that they are here to trouble him. At the moment, he had no way to escape, so he simply walked back - towards Wu Shuang, he thought, after all, he could first hand over the rice in his hand to his mother-in-law to cook, and the children were still hungry!

When Alai stepped through the house, he found the children eating rice cakes, and he knew that the family could not afford rice cakes because they had no money. When the children saw him, they all happily held up fragrant rice cakes and showed off to him, saying:

"Daddy, that uncle sold us rice cakes to eat just now, go and taste what is still on the table!"

Apparently the children were excited, but his mother-in-law was still grieving in bed for her bracelet!

Alefang put the rice bag on the table when he heard the children crying:

"Uncle, uncle!"

He turned his head in panic and saw Wu Shuang and She Gang stepping over the dripping water under the eaves and entering his door. Alai was stunned on the spot, watching the two of them walk in, but he didn't know what to do.

It was Wu Shuang who spoke first:

"The children are very cute! For their sake, you should go to the Criminal Department to tell the truth and rescue Lord Wang's father and son!"

Alai's heart was flustered, and there was only fear in his eyes, he didn't know what to do, and he even thought about going back to tell the truth to the government and rescue Master Wang, but he was afraid that Lord Wang's father and son would find trouble with him after they came out, and he was also afraid that the outsiders would send people to trouble him. Therefore, he is torn between a rock and a hard place.

I had to pretend to be confused and say:

"I don't understand what you're talking about!"

"You are still obsessed!" Wu Shuang said, "Look at how comfortable your family used to live in Governor Wang's house! And now, you framed him for no reason, and you yourself ended up like this, don't you have the heart of remorse?"

Alai looked at him in amazement, but couldn't speak, the atmosphere on the field was extremely tense, the children all looked at Wu Shuang and She Gang with frightened and frightened eyes, Wu Shuang saw this situation, so he walked forward, touched the first child's little head, smiled and said:

"Little brother, don't be afraid, I'm good friends with your father!"

As a result, the children's expressions immediately relaxed.

Wu Shuang looked at Alai again and said:

"Let's go outside and talk! Don't scare the kids. ”

So they came to a small alley, where the sun's rays barely shone in, and it was as dark as a cellar, and there were few people, and it was very quiet. Wu Shuang was holding the sword, She Gang was holding the knife, and Alai was squatting in the corner like a sick cat, shivering.

"I don't know why you are telling lies and framing us," Wu Shuang said, "If you don't want to say it, I won't force you." But, no matter what, you should go to the criminal department and tell them the truth!"

After a long time, Alai raised his head, looked at him with a very sad expression, and said:

"If I go to the Criminal Department to tell the truth, they will kill my whole family!"

"Then why don't you ask yourself, why did you kill someone else's family?" She Gang suddenly couldn't help but roar at him.

Aledon turned pale with fright.

"Brother She, don't get excited. Wu Shuang immediately stopped She Gang's anger and looked at him and said, "Are you afraid that they will trouble you now?"

"Yes. ”

"Okay, as long as you are willing to go to the Criminal Department to tell the truth, I will move your family to a safe place to live!"

After listening to Wu Shuang's words, Alai began to hesitate in his heart, he raised his head, looked up at Wu Shuang's face, and asked him tentatively with a look of not too trust:

"Where to move to, where is it safe?"

"Go to Luoyan City," Wu Shuang said, "where I have a big manor, there are five or six hundred villagers on the village, and no one wants to go into my village to spread wild!"

"Really!" asked Alai hesitantly.

"What's the point of lying to people like you!" Suddenly, She Gang couldn't help but shout at him again, "Haven't you heard of the world-famous Songshan Manor in Luoyan City?"

"I've heard of it!" said Alai, "and it used to be the owner of the farm. ”

"By the way, now our Wu Zhuang is the Zhuang Master," She Gang pointed to Wu Shuang and said to him, "He is the Wu Zhuang Master, that is, the Zhuang Master of Songshan Manor." ”

"Then when are we leaving?" asked Alai, who now fully believed that the other party had this strength, and had also decided to change his past mistakes and tell the truth to the Criminal Department.

"You can go whenever you want!"

"Alright, I'll go with you now. "What about my family?"

"Take care of a carriage and send them to Luoyan City!" Wu Shuang said.

"But I don't have any money!"

"We have. ”

"Okay, then I'll stop a carriage now. He was thrilled that he could be a decent person.

Alley got up excitedly and walked towards the mouth of the alley - he went to stop the carriage in the street. (To be continued.) )
