Hu Jing smiled innocently again, "You are all people with goods in your stomach, and you can understand everything, unlike me, I haven't understood what you're talking about after listening to it for a long time."
After speaking, he took out a white towel from the basin, twisted it a few times, and wiped a few handfuls on Erxi's forehead, "Do you want to pluck your ears today?"
” Erxi raised his arm impatiently to agree, and a child flashed beside him, and he took advantage of the situation to grab his arm, "Xiaoli, I just told your father for a long time, he didn't understand, do you understand?"
” The kid rubbed his nose, "I just threw a sandbag, what are you talking about?"
” Erxi was a little disappointed, he wanted to rely on this shocking secret news to attract everyone's pursuit, but he didn't think about it, he hit two soft nails in a row, and couldn't help but lose his interest, and knocked on the top of the child's head, "Don't run around with your father recently, be careful of being unarmed." ” Xiao Li grimaced at him, picked up the sandbag and ran away.
Erxi sat down on the square stool again, Hu Jing had already taken out an ear scoop from the drawer sandwiched between the legs of the stool, and gently gouged it inside and outside his ear, his hands were light, he could see accurately, and it didn't hurt to dig deep, but it made people itch just right, and the pores of Erxi's whole body were transparent.
"Are you going to play elsewhere in a while?"
Hu Jing asked this sentence angrily.
"What are you going back for?
It's not that you don't know, the young master of my family is not home all day, and I am bored alone, so I can't go out for a walk. ” "Your life is good, Young Master Shen treats you like a brother."
"What's good, the poor are like something, as soon as the bride price comes out, the family has little money.
Hey, dig it in again, yes, that's it, it's comfortable. ” Remnant Yang dyed the plaque of Xin'an Mansion dark red, and also dyed red a team of people who came out of the gate, Jiang Xixi stood at the forefront of the official team, she saw Yan Niang standing at the mouth of the alley, so she whispered a few words to Shi Jin, and walked towards Yan Niang.
"Miss Jiang is going to go on a night patrol?"
"The curfew has been lowered, and in order to ensure the safety of the people, the adults have arranged several teams of people to take turns to patrol the night."
"Where did Master Cheng go?"
"Ruzhou, after he went to see Shen Qing, he rushed there, Miss Yan, you said, Shen Qing is a god chattering, why adults value his opinions so much, I really don't understand."
"Who knows," Yan Niang glanced up at the sky that was about to darken, "I'm afraid it will rain again tonight, Miss Jiang be careful." ” Rain?
Jiang Xixi looked at the sky, the setting sun was retracting the last rays below the ground level, the color of the sky was changing from light to dark, but there was no trace of clouds to see, where did the rain come from.
Just thinking to himself, Shi Jin's voice came from behind, "Miss Jiang, the time is almost up, we should also go." ” So, she said goodbye to Yan Niang, and led the officials away with a stomach full of confusion.
When Erxi walked out of the casino, there was a thunderstorm rolling in the sky, he watched the thick clouds rolling, and the anger in his heart was not in one place, today his luck was extremely poor, not only the copper plate in his pocket was all lost, but also a few pieces of money on credit, the most important thing is that this money was handed over to him by Shen Qing and asked him to buy gifts for the Qiao family, so how can he go back to pay the errand.
What's even more unfortunate is that the manager of the gambling house threatened that if he didn't pay back the money, he would go to Shen's house in person tomorrow to ask for it, and when the time came, would Shen Qing kick himself out of the house or even sue the government?
Seeing that a rainstorm was inevitable, he hurriedly shrank back under the eaves of the gambling house, looking at the hurried passers-by in front of him.
"Dad, I earned a few more copper plates today, can you go to Qinfangzhai to buy me a pack of dim sum, I heard others say that the dim sum there is different from other places, sweet but not greasy, crispy and delicious" In the rain and mist, two figures wearing robes, one big and one small, came over, the adults carried a burden on their shoulders, a red lacquer stool hung on one end, and a long round cage on the other, and the children walked beside the adults, chattering and talking, looking excited.
"Brother Hu, Xiaoli."
Without thinking much in his mind, Erxi had already rushed into the criss-crossing rain, "What a coincidence, I met you two here." ” Hu Jing and Xiaoli were suddenly stopped by him, and they were both stunned, "The rain is so heavy, Brother Erxi, if you don't go home, what are you doing standing here?"
” Erxi rubbed his hands, and before he could speak, the tears were already like beads with broken threads, which flowed down first, mixed with the raindrops on his face, and couldn't tell each other, "My old lady is sick and in a hurry to use the money, I wanted to win a few handfuls in the gambling house and hire a doctor for her, but who thinks, the money didn't win, but I owe others a few copper plates" After finishing speaking, he cried even more, "My poor mother, who gave birth to such an unfilial son as me, will die on the couch like this." ” Xiaoli glanced at Hu Jing, and his mouth swooped a few times, "Dad, why don't we buy dim sum first, this money, give Erxi an emergency?"
” Hu Jing touched his son's head approvingly, put down the burden on his body, and took out the half-hanging copper plate from his pocket, "But, how can I ask the doctor for this little money." ” Erxi hid the surprise in his heart, and leaned forward with a broken face, "Brother Hu, if you can save my mother's life, I will repay you as a cow and a horse in the future."
So saying, he knelt down on the rain-soaked ground, and was about to kowtow.
Hu Jing hurriedly helped him up, "I have some silver saved at home, but there is a curfew tonight, and I can't send it when I go back now."
"It's okay, I'll go get it with you."
Erxi interrupted him, "Let's go, hurry up on the road, I still have time to ask for a doctor." ” After walking on the mountain road for about half an hour, Erxi finally saw the courtyard of the Hu family, he breathed a deep sigh of relief, and said to the two people in front of him who were hurrying without saying a word, "You live in a really partial place, why don't you look for a house in the city, you have to settle down here?"
” "I'm used to living here, there are few people here, and it's convenient to do anything."
Hu Jing answered angrily.
Erxi wiped the rain from his forehead and asked with a smile, "Brother Hu, do you want to rebel and seek power, or kill people and set fires, and are you afraid of being known?"
” Hu Jing smiled and didn't answer.
Several people walked to the front of the courtyard, and before they knocked on the door, the courtyard door had been opened, and a woman came out and glanced at Erxi, "Yo, there are guests today." ” Hu Jing and Xiaoli walked into the courtyard gate, and Erxi called out to the woman with a smile on her face, and followed in.
Hu Jing put the burden on the ground and glanced into the room, "Where's Dad?"
” "That thing in the circle is making trouble again, and Dad has cleaned him up."
What's in the circle?
Erxi didn't come back for a while, but at this moment, a tragic howl suddenly came from the backyard.
