Chapter 2 There are thieves in small shops
Listening to the shopkeeper in turn to remind Xue Nianci, everyone guessed that the reason why the other party did not let him stay in the hotel may involve a matter between men and women.
Xue Nianci was secretly saying, Could it be that there are prostitution thieves here? Someone in the courtyard suddenly shouted loudly: "What are you talking about with them? Hurry up and close the door! Xiaofei, do you still think that there is not enough trouble in the house?"
As soon as Xiao Er heard this, he turned around and was about to close the door.
Song Yuanlan, who was standing beside Geng Qiuwen, stepped forward and pushed the door, and shouted inside: "The people inside speak politely." If it weren't for the inn, we wouldn't come, and we wouldn't have refused to have customers for no reason, and we wouldn't have said why, were we afraid that we wouldn't be able to afford the money?"
The people in the courtyard could not bear the harassment, and opened their mouths to scold: "It's great to have silver?
Song Yuanlan was furious and scolded back: "You say one more word to your aunt and grandmother, I'll tear your stinky mouth!"
Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, the four little girls squeezed out of the crowd together for fear that the world would not be chaotic.
Chunlan took Song Yuanlan's hand and said, "Third Miss, don't be angry, we can't be like a patient." ”
Xia He also said to Song Yuanlan seriously: "I don't blame the third lady for being angry, you haven't studied medicine." The four of us were different, and as soon as we heard it, we knew that the person inside was sick. ”
The people in the courtyard woke up and the two girls were scolding him, and they were so angry that they rushed to the door and asked Xia Hedao: "Who are you scolding for being sick?"
Only then did everyone see clearly that this hot-tempered and outspoken young man turned out to be a good-looking son, but at this time, his eyes were full of fire, and he had no bearing.
Qiu Ju hurriedly stopped between Xia He and the other party, and persuaded with a smile: "Don't be excited, this son is for your good, I'm afraid that you will be sick and don't know it." If Childe doesn't believe it, you can ask this little second brother, you-your mouth really stinks!" After saying that, he laughed and turned around and ran away.
When Dongmei heard this, she immediately shouted on the side and said, "Ahh
A few little brothers and sisters laughed when they heard it, and Ouyang Yu and other elders also frowned, these girls are too rude, living in a store and begging for people, where is there such a reason to speak willfully?
Ouyang Yu was just about to reprimand, when he suddenly heard a tired and old voice coming out of the courtyard: "Du Bao, what's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"
The young man named Du Bao suppressed his anger and turned around and responded, "Second uncle, it's okay." A few of the guests wanted to stay at the hotel, so I asked them to find another place. ”
"Confused!" the old man reproached, "Out of Changping Town, the nearest market will have to walk forty miles." If it's getting late today, where do you tell them to go and spend the night?" After speaking, he instructed Xiao Er: "Xiao Fei, you open a few rooms for the guest officers to live in, I hope that thief will not come again tonight!"
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Song Yuanlan hurriedly shouted: "This old man, please stay!" However, the other party did not mean to stop, and the footsteps quickly disappeared on the road leading to the backyard.
Song Yuanlan knew that she had wrongly blamed the other party just now, and suddenly got up embarrassed, and saw that Du Bao had already left angrily, so she grabbed Xiaofei and asked, "Your store is deserted, isn't business bad recently?"
Xiao Fei seemed to be an extremely honest person, and when he was dragged by Song Yuanlan's little hand, his face turned red with shame, and he couldn't speak as if he was holding his breath.
"Hey!" Song Yuanlan pushed the other party and said, "Are you a guy in the store?
Xiao Fei lowered his head and said as he stepped back: "If you get into this kind of trouble, you won't be able to do business." The usual customers were scared away, and the only guys in the store were me and Dalin. ”
"What the hell is going on here? Your master said that there is a thief, what kind of thief is so powerful?" Song Yuanlan saw that the people in the store were all looking depressed and sighing, which aroused her curiosity even more.
Song Yuanlan was already very beautiful, and she did not shy away from pulling and pulling Xiao Fei, although Xiao Fei was so ashamed that her face was flushed, but it was undeniable that it also made Xiao Fei feel a lot closer to Song Yuanlan from the bottom of her heart. So Xiao Fei boldly raised his head and stared at Song Yuanlan's pretty face, secretly admiring it, and then sighed: "Where is the thief? That kind of person has lost his conscience, and he is not as good as a beast!"
"So you know that thief?" Song Yuanlan saw that the topic of Xiao Fei was introduced, and hurriedly asked: "In this case, why don't you report to the official to arrest him and let the government make the decision for you?"
"Miss, don't ask again. Xiao Fei's eyes suddenly turned red, and he wiped his tears with his back and said: "This kind of thing, it's really inconvenient to tell outsiders, you stay for one night and leave early tomorrow." ”
Since Xiao Fei refused to say, Song Yuanlan didn't want to ask again, raised her eyes and looked, and saw that the area inside the store was not large, built on three sides, surrounded by a small courtyard, the main gate was facing south, and there was another small door at the corner on the right side of the courtyard wall leading to the inner courtyard where the main family lived.
Everyone had already arrived in the courtyard at this time, and it was really deserted, except for Xiaofei, no one came out to take care of it.
Qiu Gengwen beckoned everyone to take care of the horses and settle the carriage and horses by themselves.
Xiao Fei opened six doors in a row, lit candles, and settled everyone to move in.
Later, Xiao Fei brought food from the backyard and greeted: "The shop has encountered an incident recently, and there is no way to let the guest officers order." The lord instructed me to bring some homely meals, and to explain all the expenses for tonight, without the guest officers to pay, I just hope that the guest officers will not blame!"
When Song Yuanlan heard this, she felt even more embarrassed, and took out a piece of gold and handed it to the other party.
Xiao Fei didn't take it, Song Yuanlan simply grabbed him and forcibly stuffed the silver into Xiao Fei's arms.
Xiao Fei was so ashamed this time that she couldn't even say anything to refuse, which made Song Yuanlan laugh, full of female Ah Fei.
Ouyang Yu asked to see the shopkeeper, but Xiao Fei politely declined.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms. Although no one discussed the strange things in the store, everyone had an idea in their hearts, if there was nothing to do tonight, if there was really that blind thief who dared to make trouble, he would definitely be called back.
Ouyang Qian took four little girls in spring, summer, autumn and winter to live in one room.
Originally, there could only be a maximum of four beds in the house, Ouyang Qian wanted Xiao Fei to open an extra room, but the four little girls were worried about the safety of the young lady and refused to leave the room. Ouyang Qian had no choice but to let them. So the four little girls put the three beds together, blocking only a narrow aisle against the wall in the room.
Chunlan used a sheet to separate the big bed from the other bed placed horizontally in the back to form a simple inner and outer room, which was regarded as a boudoir for Ouyang Qian.
After everything was done, the four little girls rolled on the big bed and scratched and laughed, making a mess.
Ouyang Qian shook her head and smiled, and walked out of the house to the courtyard.
There were a group of stone tables and stone benches on the left and right sides of the courtyard against the wall, and Ouyang Qian sat down on the stone bench on the west side near the front of her house, and began to think about the origin of the thieves who might exist in the store.
Ouyang Qian's first thought might be that the Taihang group of Kou was defeated by the officers and soldiers and went to various places to harm the people, but then denied this idea.
Those thieves only dare to gather in the mountains to make trouble, but they dare not stay away from the mountains, otherwise they will definitely attract a catastrophe.
Ouyang Qian remembered that Song Yuanlan had asked Xiao Fei if he knew the thief? Although Xiao Fei did not admit it, he did not deny it, his expression was ambiguous, maybe this was a family thief, either a bad servant or a rebel.
While he was thinking wildly, there was a sudden sound of wind hanging from the wall behind him when night walkers were running, and then someone jumped on the wall.
Listening to the voice, Ouyang Qian judged that there were three people coming, and secretly said in her heart, "It turns out that you still have accomplices!" Without looking back, he propped his elbows on the table of the stone table, and raised his pretty face to admire the starry sky and moonlight.
A light sound sounded, and after the person jumped off the wall, he walked straight behind Ouyang Qian and said, "Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow will become a trio." Why is the young lady here alone looking at the moon?"
Although Ouyang Qian listened to the other party's words, although she spoke sourly, her tone was soft and generous, and she did not deliberately suppress the level of her voice, not like the behavior of a thief, so she couldn't help but look back.
The two sides looked at each other, Ouyang Qian saw three people in Tsing Yi standing behind him, the two people behind him were in their thirties, full of flesh, fierce looks, like two fierce gods, and a young man in front of him was about twenty years old, with a good face, but it was a pity that there was an evil light in his eyes, with a malicious smile, which made people know at a glance that they were not decent people.
The three thieves on the opposite side were shocked by Ouyang Qian's stunning eyes, and they stood still, forgetting to speak, and their six eyes only cared about Ouyang Qian's face and body and kept patrolling unscrupulously.
Seeing that the other party's eyes were full of lewdness, Ouyang Qian was angry in her heart, and just about to speak, Chunlan's scolding voice was already heard behind her: "Who is the thief, dare to be wild here?"
The young man standing in front first swallowed a mouthful of saliva at Ouyang Qian, and then he reluctantly turned his gaze, and saw that the four maid rings who came over were also all flowers and moons, one out of a thousand, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face, and asked Ouyang Qian: "Miss is a person who practices martial arts, why are those sisters carrying long swords in their hands?"
Xia He heard this, scratched his face and said to the other party: "Seeing that you are older than all of us, but here your sister is long and your sister is short, it's not disgusting?"
Qiu Ju pouted and said, "If he is disgusting, he will not have this pair of thief eyes." If I were him, I would throw away all the mirrors in the house, so that I wouldn't be able to eat after seeing my own appearance. ”
Dongmei said: "Third sister, you don't understand, this kind of thief's eye is the pride of the thief, I'm afraid that this thief spends more time enjoying himself every day than you put on makeup." ”
"This sister, please don't call me a thief. The young man was scolded, but he was not angry at all, and still smiled and said to Dongmei: "I am the son-in-law of the Du family." ”
"Son-in-law?" Ouyang Qian asked strangely, "Since you are a son-in-law, why don't you go through the main gate, but you have to climb over the wall in the middle of the night to enter the hospital?"
The young man's greedy gaze stared at Ouyang Qianqiao's face again and said, "Because my father-in-law is poor in the next family, he refuses to recognize me." In a fit of rage, he beat his guests away. Now he has a grudge against him, and he won't open the door even if he calls the door. ”
