Master Lin and Mrs.
Lin stared at each other for a long time, and then turned to look at their son at the same time, "Did you see someone stealing the silver under the tree?"
” Chengzhang nodded weakly, "Last night I slept until midnight, I felt hot and dry, after a while, my shirt was soaked with sweat, I was irritable, I simply got up and dressed, took a book and sat at the table to study, but before the lamp was lit, I saw a figure from the window "pedaling" walked over, I called, but no one answered, so I wondered, so I went out to check who it was.
He walked fast, I walked slowly, and by the time I went out, the man was gone.
In desperation, I could only look for the yard one by one, and when I came to the backyard, I saw the strangest scene in my life: a big pit was dug under the pomegranate tree, and next to the pit stood the man just now, who was carrying a cloth bag and jumping lightly to the courtyard wall.
I shouted at him, 'Who are you?'
He turned around, and his pale face was blue, and the most frightening thing was that there was only one eye on that face, one eye that came sideways, which was the size of half a face, and there was no nose, ears, and mouth.
Seeing this, I was so frightened that I sat down on the ground, and by the time I reacted, the man was long gone. ” Master Lin and Mrs.
Lin didn't close their mouths until their son finished telling the story.
After a long while, Mrs.
Lin raised her hand and touched Chengzhang's forehead, "Son, you don't have a fever, what?"
Lin Chengzhang pulled his mother's hand away, and his face turned red with anger, "I was just afraid that you would think I was talking nonsense, so I didn't tell this matter, as I expected, so tell me, where did this money go?"
Is it possible to fly with wings?
” Seeing this scene, Master Lin hurriedly stepped forward to persuade peace, "Chengzhang doesn't know about me burying the silver, he can still make up such a story with empty mouths and white teeth, in my opinion, maybe there are really thieves, hey, Ah Jun, didn't you also hear the sound last night?"
Who doesn't?
” Ah Jun came out of the crowd, "Master, although I didn't see the thief like the young master last night, I really saw a big pit dug next to the pomegranate tree. ” Master Lin nodded, and said to Mrs.
Lin, "Look at you, I don't believe my son's words, and the woman is really not assertive." ” Mrs.
Lin's stomach was so angry that her stomach was bulging, and she pointed at Master Lin, "Who said that I stole the silver just now, and now they are talking about me in reverse?"
” Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Chengzhang coughed twice, "Father, mother, there is no time to blame each other now, let's go to the government to report the case first, I see that the thief's bag is bulging, and he must have stolen a lot of silver, and if he doesn't report the case, let him run away, and the family will suffer a big loss." ” Hearing that there was a lot of silver, Mrs.
Lin's anger came up again, but seeing Chengzhang staring at herself, she didn't want to say anything more, and hurriedly ordered Ah Jun to prepare the carriage and horses, and the group hurriedly galloped away in the direction of Xin'an Mansion.
The carriage roared along the East Street, and when it passed a wine shop, a fat man who was picking vegetables inside glanced at the carriage, shrugged his shoulders, and muttered: "This Peng Yi, go to do those things of stealing chickens and dogs again, and this is how it will be for the rest of his life, sad, sad."
After speaking, he shouted at the shopkeeper again, "Little brother, I have another roast goose here, I want to burn it crispy, fat but not greasy, hurry up, I'm hungry." ” The shopkeeper agreed, but when he arrived at the stove room, he chattered with the kitchen worker: "The guest officer by the door wants to add another roast goose." ” The cook laughed out loud, "Still eating, how many plates have been stacked in front of him, and the plates in the store are going to run out for him." ” The shopkeeper was also happy, "Hey, you said he was the reincarnation of pig essence, how could he eat so much." ” The two looked towards the door while chatting, and saw that the fat man was sitting at the table, with a chicken leg in his left hand and a big steamed bun in his right hand, eating vigorously, his body was as wide as a wall, and Master Lin and Mrs.
Lin together were estimated to be less than half of him.
He finished nibbling on the chicken thighs, picked up a bowl of meatball soup, poured it all into his mouth, and when his Adam's apple moved, he swallowed all the soup into his stomach, as if he didn't need to chew at all.
"What kind of pig spirit is reincarnated, and the pig doesn't eat as much as him."
The cook shook his head in admiration and hurried to pluck the duck.
In less than half an hour, the fat man devoured a whole duck, he spit the last bone on the table, patted his stomach with satisfaction, and the two mung bean eyes narrowed into a slit, "Yes, yes, this Wangjing Tower really lives up to its reputation, and the dishes are delicious."
With that, he stood up on the table, burped triumphantly, and headed for the door.
"Guest officer, you stay," the shopkeeper chased him out and smiled at the fat man, "You haven't paid the money yet, why did you leave." ” "Oh, I have it, it's all over my pocket," he laughed as he grabbed a handful of his coat and shoved his contents onto the shopkeeper.
The little second brother was still smiling, but when he saw the things in his hand, his face suddenly changed, "Guest officer, are you deliberately looking for me to be happy, is this stone your food money?"
” Seeing that he hadn't bluffed anyone, the fat man turned around and stuck into the pile, and the shopkeeper was so shocked that he hurriedly shouted to the back kitchen, "Come on, there is a white food eater here, hurry up and arrest him." ” Four or five cooks rushed out, and several men surrounded the fat man in the middle, two grabbed his arms, and the others held him by the legs, and held him down.
The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, "You dead pig, you have eaten so many things, but you want to run away without paying, watch the master send you to the official mansion, let" Before he could finish speaking, several cooks suddenly rushed forward, several people hit each other head to head, grinning in pain, sitting on the ground for a long time and unable to get up, but the fat man who was surrounded by them was gone, and he disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a bag of stones on the ground.
Cheng Muyou looked at Master Lin who was kneeling under the hall, "How many silver taels have you buried under the tree?"
” Master Lin glanced at the lady beside him, and muttered, "Lord Hui, there are two hundred ingots in total." ” Mrs.
Lin was really angry, "You are hiding so much money, do you want to buy a house for the two of them?"
You conscienceless, I have suffered with you for so many years. ” Cheng Muyou was just about to speak out to stop the husband and wife, when he suddenly saw a servant walk in quickly, "My lord, someone from Wangjing Tower came to report to the official, saying that someone had eaten white food in the wine shop. ”
