Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Lost and Found Sword

Another night passed, and the little fat man slept until the sun hit his buttocks, and he was still too lazy to move. Because, in order to commend the little fat man, the prefect deliberately gave him a day off. It's not easy for a little fat man these days, he has encountered too many things, and he is tired. Because of this, the little fat man knew that the sun was on his heels, so he slowly got up and washed.

By the time the little fat man really got up, it was already past midday. The little fat man touched the grunt and screamed, and the people who wanted to rebel were all visceral, and went out of the post house and went straight to the small restaurant.

People say that food and clothing think yin/desire, and the little fat man is food and food and think of loneliness. After eating and drinking, he had nothing to do, and suddenly remembered the situation when he used to laugh and play with his senior sister and everyone in Xianjian Villa, and he couldn't help but feel sad. In order to prevent others from seeing his melancholy, the little fat man came to the river alone. It's 10 o'clock in the middle of the day, the sun is scorching, and when I walk down the street, I feel that the soles of my feet are hot. So at this time, most of the people in Lianyun City are at home to enjoy the coolness. Even if you can see a figure occasionally, it is also lazy and mediocre, and you look weak. The little fat man found a willow tree and stared blankly at the river. There is a breeze blowing, and you can feel the slightest coolness.

The words of "Lang Taosha" say: The smoke willows are weeping and the river is green, the warm wind sweeps the ground, and the flowers fall. Fuqin played the accompanying song, the song was not broken, and it was already full of tears. Privately set the sea and mountain alliance, stroll on the beach, and comfort life. Listen to your words and dream back, don't forget, spend a hundred years together.

The little fat man was staring at the water in a daze, when he suddenly heard someone whispering next to him, which seemed to come from behind the low tree behind him. On this hot day, who doesn't sleep and come out here to chat? The little fat man was curious for a moment, so he listened attentively.

The little fat man quietly walked over to take a look, and saw two people sitting under the shade of the tree. The two of them are tall and short, and the tall ones are about forty years old, with small eyes and hanging foreheads. His eyes looked left and right from time to time, and at first glance he was a scheming and unscrupulous fellow. The short man was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and quite handsome. At the moment, he was submissive, looking at a loss.

"Ding Hao, I've helped you so much now. Ask you how many taels of silver you will borrow, and see what makes you embarrassed. You just give me a happy word, do you want to borrow or not to borrow?"

The young man named Ding Hao seemed to be very embarrassed, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Lao Li, you also know that my family is not rich. Well, I'll go back and figure it out......"

The person named Lao Li, after listening to Ding Hao's words, rolled his eyes a few times, then reached out and patted Ding Hao's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Ding Hao, you have to hurry up and think of a way." Haha......" After speaking, Lao Li put his hands behind his back and walked away.

Ding Hao looked at Lao Li's distant figure in a daze, until he couldn't see him at all, and then let out a long sigh. Bow your head and fall into deep thought. From his frowning brow, it could be seen that his heart was very irritable now.

It turned out to be a personal dispute, the little fat man felt bored, and was about to leave, when he accidentally suddenly saw something on Ding Hao's body, and was taken aback, the little fat man stepped in front of Ding Hao in a few steps.

Ding Hao was pondering, but suddenly his eyes were dark, and a figure stood in front of him. Ding Hao was taken aback, looked up, and saw a little fat man staring at his crotch. Ding Hao tightened his chrysanthemum for no reason, protected his crotch with both hands, and shouted angrily at the little fat man: "Dead fat man, what do you want to do?"

Seeing Ding Hao's actions, the little fat man was a little ridiculous, knowing that he might have misunderstood that he had some kind of special fetish, what a big insult to the little fat man's personality! In order to show that there was no problem with his sexual orientation, the little fat man hurriedly explained: "Brother, don't get me wrong. I just wanted to ask you, where did you get this knife on your waist?"

The reason why the little fat man asked this was because he saw that the knife on Ding Hao's waist was the same Qiushui Yanling knife that he accidentally fell off the cliff yesterday in order to save the child. At this moment, the Qiushui Yanling knife did not have a scabbard, so it hung casually on Ding Hao's waist. After the little fat man lost the treasure knife yesterday, he also had the idea of going down the cliff to find it. However, when the little fat man saw the bottomless cliff below and threw a stone down, it took a long time to hear back, and the little fat man gave up the idea of looking for it. After all, this knife has been following the little fat man for a while, and they all have feelings. Now that it's lost, the little fat man has been suffering from gains and losses for a long time. Just when the little fat man thought that he would never be able to find it again, this knife suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but make the little fat man stunned like a wooden chicken.

Hearing the little fat man's words, Ding Hao realized that he had misunderstood the little fat man's meaning, not only his face was a little embarrassed, but he said: "That's it! This knife was picked up by me in the cliff near Vulture Mountain yesterday. Why, have you ever seen this knife?"

When the little fat man heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I was on the cliff of Vulture Mountain yesterday, and I accidentally dropped this knife off the cliff." ”

Ding Hao was stunned, and he was skeptical of the little fat man's words. He only picked up the knife yesterday, and today he met the owner of the knife, and he didn't believe that there was such a coincidence. So, Ding Hao said, "What evidence do you have to prove that this knife is yours?"

The little fat man said, "Yes, you wait a minute, I'll go back and get the scabbard for you." ”

Ding Hao expressed his willingness to wait, and after a while, the little fat man took the scabbard back. Ding Hao took the scabbard, took off the knife on his waist, and inserted it into the scabbard, and sure enough, he believed that the knife was a little fat man. Ding Hao handed the knife in his hand to the little fat man along with the scabbard, and said, "Since it's your knife, then I'll give it back to you,"

The little fat man reached out and took the Qiushui Yanling knife, grateful, and after thanking Ding Hao, he hung the knife on his waist. Ding Hao saw that the knife had also been returned to its original owner, so he was about to get up and leave. But the little fat man stopped him and said, "Brother, can you talk about it?"

People say that the fat man has a good temper and good popularity, and Ding Hao also thinks that the little fat man is not so annoying, so he nodded, sat down again, and chatted with the little fat man.

The little fat man asked Ding Hao what the conversation with Lao Li just now meant, Ding Hao sighed, and then told the little fat man the whole story. It turned out that Ding Hao's family was not wealthy, and he was almost seventeen years old, and he didn't have a job to support his family. At this time, if a boy does not have a formal job, there is no matchmaker willing to come and say goodbye. Even if there is, when the woman inquires and sees that there is nothing to do, she is not very willing to date. Because of this, Ding Hao's parents asked their neighbor Lao Li to help him find a job. This old Li usually works as a handyman in a large family surnamed Song, and he listened to the request of Ding Hao's parents and agreed. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lao Li to tell Ding Hao's parents that he helped Ding Hao intercede with his owner, and the owner promised Ding Hao to come over and do some chores. Ding Hao's parents thanked him and told Ding Hao to listen to Lao Li's words and work hard. After Ding Hao arrived at the Song family, he worked under Lao Li, and found Ding Hao a few days after he came, saying that he was short of money and borrowed two taels of silver from him. Although two taels of silver is not much, it is Ding Hao's two months' salary. Ding Hao also understood that this was Lao Tzu asking for a benefit fee from himself. As for what he said, he was short of money, it was all nonsense. Yesterday, Ding Hao also saw that this Lao Li went to the restaurant alone to eat and drink. How could a person who was strapped for money be so extravagant? This made it clear that after Lao Li borrowed the money, he didn't plan to pay it back at all. Giving his hard-earned money to others in vain, Ding Hao was always a little unwilling. However, if he is not given, he will work under him every day, and maybe one day he will give himself a small shoe to wear, and the owner will drive him out of the house. At that time, there was still no work to do, and my parents would die in a hurry. It was precisely because of these considerations that Ding Hao fell into a dilemma.

The little fat man listened to Ding Hao's words and felt that it was not easy for him. not only wants to make his parents happy, but also faces the pressure from Lao Li, which really hurts this brother who is about the same age as himself. The little fat man lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Brother, I'll find you something else, will you do it?"

Ding Hao listened to the little fat man's words, but he was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?"

The little fat man said: "Catch fast inside the yamen, do you want to do it?"

Ding Hao didn't have an idea for a while, and didn't speak for a while, as if he was considering the feasibility of the little fat man's words. After a while, he seemed to have made a decision, nodded solemnly, and said, "If I can really be a fast catcher, then I will do it." Every day under Lao Li, even if you lend him money, maybe you will come to me to borrow money next time. Instead of going on like this endlessly, it's better to leave as soon as possible. ”

The little fat man saw that although Ding Hao was not very old, he could see so thoroughly, he admired him very much, and said: "Then do it, I'll go to the prefect in a while and talk to you, so that you can also do a catch." ”

"Do you know the prefect?" Ding Hao was a little surprised, the little fat man in front of him, who was not good-looking, actually had some background, and he couldn't help but be impressed.

The little fat man he, and said, "Actually, I'm also a catcher." ”

"Ah!" Ding Hao was stunned for a moment and asked, "I heard that we have a very powerful fat man in Lianyun City, who has done several things for the people, and yesterday he also helped someone rescue a child from the strongman." They're talking about you, right?"

The little fat man scratched his hair embarrassedly and said, "It's me." ”

Ding Hao heard that the little fat man was the "most beautiful catcher" who had been in the limelight recently, and said with great joy: "Cheng, big brother, I followed you!"
