Chapter 13 Climbing the Wall and Encountering Money
Shortly after Shan Xiaowu fell asleep, a masked man in a dark suit slightly stained with water vapor reappeared at the mouth of the cave. First, he looked at the barbecue on the shelf in the cave with a blank face, and then his eyes fell on the curled up Shan Xiaowu.
The diamond-shaped thin lips squeezed tightly. I wanted to raise my foot forward, but I didn't take half a step out, and suddenly thought of something to stop my body. After a long time, I shook my sleeves, turned to the open space outside the cave, and looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the air with my back.
He has made many exceptions in the past two days. Yesterday, he let the dirty woman get close to him on the street without noticing it. This morning, he picked her up nervously again, and even forced the poison needle out for her. In addition, he just unconsciously avoided it so that she could eat at ease - every time I thought of one, Hun The murderousness became stronger. He should have killed her at the beginning, but he repeatedly tolerated her existence under his own eyes. When did he start to become so kind?
"Lord."
A ghostly black figure jumped from the tree and fell silently behind the masked man.
"say."
The man in a black tights, even with only a pair of eyes on his face, bowed his head respectfully and presented a secret letter, "A letter from the left guard."
"..."
The masked man didn't say a word. He leaned sideways, took the envelope and opened it, shook the letter paper, and looked at it in the moonlight.
After a long time, he lowered his eyes. With a slight force in the palm of his hand, the secret letter kneaded into a ball in his palm instantly turned into powder.
"Tell Shuiying," the masked man raised his hand, and Ren Yefeng blew away the powder in his hand, and his tone was even colder. "I'll take over the rest of the matter and let him take care of himself, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless."
"Yes, Lord."
"Don't follow me again."
"But Lord..."
"Do you dare to rebel against what I said?" The cold eyes wandered with a raging murderous intention, but a faint git made the man in black sweat.
"I dare not." The man in black didn't dare to breathe and answered obediently with his head down.
"Get out of here."
Without unnecessary words, the masked man turned around and continued to stare at the moon in the sky.
"Yes."
The man in black nodded his head obediently, and just like the time, a few jumps melted into the darkness and disappeared.
After standing quietly in the middle of the night, the masked man finally slowly raised his feet and walked into the woods at dawn. The morning wind lifted his long black hair scattered on his back, and his clothes were stained with dew, but it still swayed slightly in the wind.
When the first light of the day penetrated the mist and was projected on the ground, the swaying black gold color was also hidden, and the sound of gurgling water was far and long.
Shan Xiaowu felt that he had had a lot of ups and downs recently. After being chased and killed, good luck also began to show signs of returning.
Last night, I secretly ate the barbecue and was sleepy when my stomach was full. When I woke up, the fire around me had long been extinguished. The masked man was not in the cave. The wild boar that she had stolen several bites of yesterday was still hanging in the original place. After going out last night, the coquettish guy never came back.
But this is also good. Shan Xiaowu thought with a smirk. Of course, it is best not to face the embarrassment after being found to steal food. She is not interested in looking at the guy's cold eyes. What's more, if he doesn't come back, it means that she can continue to do whatever she wants. How cost-effective it is.
In fact, the barbecue should not be stored for too long, so Shan Xiaowu grabbed the knife and thought that he could hit the masked man to slice the rest of the wild boar's body, leaving only the skeleton of the pig's head with a strange smile.
"Don't say that I'm not good to you. For the sake of saving me, I'll leave you some food."
Wrap the barbecue just enough for one person and put it in the skeleton with the leaves picked up this morning. Shan Xiaowu clapped his hands proudly, picked up the cowhide bag full of barbecue, and patted his buttocks and left with satisfaction.
As long as he thought of the wonderful expression on his face when the masked man returned to the cave and saw the roast pig with a skeleton left, Shan Xiaowu felt a gray mood and instantly relaxed.
Hiding in a big tree and blowing the whistle, waiting for the little donkey Kuroko to shake slowly, he turned over and jumped up, walked to the next town with a smile on his face, and finally rushed back to Yanzhou before dinner.
Before entering Yanzhou City, the guards guarding the city recognized her first. Several people greeted her with a smile, "Yo, little five girl, have you just come back?"
"Haha, yes, Brother Qiu, Brother Niu and Uncle Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Shan Xiaowu, who had changed back to women's clothing, grinned and leaned over. On the other hand, he reached out three slender porcelain bottles only the size of palms from the bag carried by the little donkey, and divided them to three people. "Come on, try the cinnamon brew I brought back. It's delicious."
In my previous life, I didn't have time to do education. I lived again once in my life. Shan Xiaowu naturally did this course by ten. When I was young, I ran in Yanzhou City. Whether I went out or came back, I always habitually brought something to these guards guarding the city, although most of them were worthless. Yes, but I received too much. After all, it is also a cannibalistic and soft-handed. Those guards will more or less give Shan Xiaowu a little face and privilege.
Seeing that there were free things to take, the three guards were not polite. They thanked and took it over. The older man even pulled out the plug and poured it into his mouth on the spot. After a long time, he smashed his mouth and took a long breath and sighed, "It's really good wine. It's fragrant and mellow enough!"
"Uncle Yang, this wine is very strong. You are still on duty now. Don't drink too much."
"I know, I won't, I won't." Although the middle-aged man patted his chest to promise, he only turned around and couldn't help looking up and taking a sip, which made the other two younger guards and Shan Xiaowu laugh unanimously.
After saying goodbye to the guards guarding the city, Shan Xiaowu turned to the miscellaneous courtyard in the west of the city to have a look, gave the novel things he had searched for on the road to the children there, and then reluctantly turned back to his home.
The door of Shanfu has been open since early in the morning. Knowing that his young lady is coming back, there are always one or two servants at the door coming out for two rounds from time to time, so that they can inform the old lady and two young masters about the news of the young lady's return as soon as possible.
But the more they are so fanciful, the more Shan Xiaowu doesn't want to do what they want. To put it bluntly, it's the rebellious factor in her bones and wants to play pranks again.
He fostered the little donkey black son in the nearby inn stable. Shan Xiaowu wore a bamboo hat, sneaked behind his house, chose the shortest courtyard wall, skillfully put his clothes in front of him and stuffed them on the belt, stepped on several empty baskets folded together, quickly climbed up with his hands and feet, and sat on the wall. After looking up and seeing that no one passed by, he immediately snickered and turned around and slid down the wall.
Who would have thought that as soon as the toes touched the ground, and there was no time to turn around, a big hand that came out of nowhere suddenly fell on her shoulder, accompanied by a negative sneer, "Yuanbao sister..."
Shan Xiaowu was so scared that the scream he blurted out was automatically swallowed back because he heard the man's voice.
He twisted his neck stiffly and was about to turn his face. The owner of the hand saw that she had something to move, so he immediately raised the index finger of the hand on her shoulder. When Shan Xiaowu turned his head, he just poked her on the cheek, which was full of threats.
"Second...Second brother."
That's right. Now standing in front of her, she is dressed in a moon-white silk gown, covered with a purple veil, and her long hair is decorated with a magpie tail. The extremely dangerous little white face with a smile is the second brother of her family, Shan Baoqian.
I really want to cry. How unlucky she is to meet the second brother who was reincarnated as soon as she climbed over the wall! Shan Xiaowu hung his head weakly and resolutely refused to admit that he had 'sadness flowed into a river' in his heart.
"Are you willing to come back?"
Shan Baoqian withdrew his hand, wrapped his chest around Shan Xiaowu, squinted at the little girl in front of him who was huddled like a little mouse, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled, but the tone was still cold and full of calculations, "It's not enough to be crazy outside, is it? You even have to climb the wall when you go home. It seems that you have gained a lot of courage..."
When Shan Xiaowu heard the words, he sighed in his heart. The expression on his face was all kinds of bitterness. He quickly bowed his head and made a confession, "I didn't..."
"No?"
Shan Baoqian snorted coldly and stretched out his hand to bounce on her forehead. He was satisfied to see Shan Xiaowu grinning with his forehead. He also raised the corners of his mouth happily and smiled happily. "What do you think if I tell my mother about you climbed the wall, what will happen to her?"
"No, second brother!" Hearing this, Shan Xiaowu finally couldn't help pretending to be a grandson. He immediately cried and hugged Shan Baoqian, who was taller than her. "Second brother, you can't be so unrighteous. I'm your little sister and not your enemy. How can you bear to hurt me!"
Shan Bao smiled even more happily. The slightly raised narrow phoenix eyes were full of narrowness, "Do I have the heart? Don't you know best, little sister?"
...Daily, it's white howling.
Knowing that Shan Baoqian is really the person who does what he said, Shan Xiaowu spit on him a hundred times with all kinds of contempt in his heart. When he looked up again, his face was already full of flattering smiles, "Second brother~~~"
"You don't have to be obedient. It's useless to scream no matter how good it is."
The corners of Shan Baoqian's mouth twitched, and he had long been used to his little sister's occasional coquettishness. He calmly opened his five fingers and pushed Shan Xiaowu's face over, directly ignoring her pleading eyes, "In a word, old rules, there is no negotiable."
Seeing that it is useless to flatter and flatter, Shan Xiaowu can only grit his teeth and ask with a heartache, "Say it, how much do you want?"
As I said before, she, the second brother of Qianjing, has no hobbies. Her biggest interest is to cheat money. So far, she has never heard of the person in her family who has not been ripped money by him. Even the mouse hiding in the cave has been forced by him to hold a string of jade bracelets stolen from somewhere as a loan fee. You can imagine what kind of talent her second brother is.
It's just that I didn't pick the almanac when I entered the door today. As soon as I entered the door, I dropped a wall-climbing handle in my second brother's hand. Now I'm really going to bleed.
"Since she is your own sister, of course, the second brother won't count you too much. That's all."
Shan Baoqian held up the golden abacus hanging around his neck with his hand, and his slender fingers quickly dialed on it, and then he came out with two fingers generously.
"Two taels?" Shan Xiaowu scratched his chin and asked sideways.
Shan Baoqian shook his head.
I knew that you were not so generous. Shan Xiaowu rolled his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Twenty taels, right? I'll go to the house to get it later..."
"Wrong, it's two hundred taels!" Shan Baoqian slowly shook his fingers and interrupted his little sister's self-speaking, "Hail fee."
"What?" Shan Xiaowu said decisively, "You might as well rob it!"
It's just a wall. Nima actually wants to blackmail her for two hundred taels of her mouth cap! Damn it!
"You won't give it, right? Well, Shan Baoqian's yin measured a row of big white teeth and suddenly turned around and walked out of the yard. "I'll tell my mother right now that you don't leave the door and climb the wall..."
"Wait, wait, don't, second brother!" Afraid of death, Shan Baoqian really ran to complain to her mother. Shan Xiaowu quickly caught up and grabbed his sleeve, and the cow compromised, "Two hundred taels, right? I'll give it to me."
Isn't it two hundred taels? OK, she gives it! Anyway, just find a chance to steal it from the second brother in the future.
It's better to lose two hundred taels than to let your mother know that she climbed over the wall.
Thinking of his tough mother, Shan Xiaowu also sweated coldly. It was said that her mother loved her and was reluctant to beat her half a time since she was a child, but no one knew that her mother was a master of spiritual torture.
When she was a child, whenever she was naughty and made trouble, her mother did not hit her. She would only call her to the ancestral hall, and then cry and hang herself to the major ancestral positions. Her mother's eyes were simply more useful than the faucet. As soon as she opened the gate, she couldn't stop. She had to drown her several times. After that, the ability to release water is comparable to that of the water god's birth, and the return of the joint work in disguise.
Now every time I think of my mother lying on the table and crying and shouting sorry for the ancestors of the single family, Shan Xiaowu still feels that the corners of his mouth are twitching and hanging on the forehead. At this time, he would rather break the money than be taken to kneel in the ancestral position.
