After all, when he went home to keep filial piety, he could only wear linen, and he hadn't seen him for many years, so he naturally changed a lot, and it made people feel ten years younger.As soon as he appeared, Zeng Huting acted as a filial son, supported his right hand and invited him to take a seat, serving tea for a while and handing water for a while, an indescribable father and son filial piety.The villagers smacked their tongues, and the momentum made them dare not approach.Only Zeng Jiting stepped forward, "What trick are you doing with Uncle Zeng?"
”is so pompous and pretentious, making him insensitive."
It's just a trick, just look at it."
Zeng Fengnian's lips squirmed, he couldn't stand it, he wasn't seventy or eighty years old and couldn't walk, as for the help?
But he held back, and he absolutely stayed the course today.The three of them had their own atmosphere, and although they had many questions to ask, the villagers still didn't come forward.waited until Zeng Jiting came out, and then asked quietly, "Jiting, tell me, is Huting really developed?"
”Zeng Jiting quietly rolled his eyes, "Of course, is that fake?"
Do you know the most popular snack shops right now?
It was a business that Huting and Chen Zhixian did together, and they divided the silver every month.Do you know what it means to lift people?
There are hundreds of acres of tax-free fields, and now he is a man!
”"Wow!"
The villagers don't know what the concept of "hundreds of acres of ....." is?"
Then can you help me ask, can I hang in his name?""
I can go and ask, I don't know if I succeed or not."
After that, Zeng Huting really got up to ask, and saw Zeng Huting come over with a smile, "Uncle Seventh has something to say, I can still do this." ”He called out the ranking of the villagers accurately.Zeng Laoqi unconsciously straightened his chest, and felt that it was an honor for the old man to remember his name.They were talking happily, and the female relatives inside naturally got the news, and a fast-talking woman said: "Aunt Rong, your son is outside, I heard that he is not studying?"
There must be a lot of young people I know, why don't you ask him?
”Chen's makeup-perfect expression distorted for a moment, and then regained his composure, "Yes." ”She replied lightly.The woman who spoke was not very good at looking at her face, and was still stacking endlessly, "Scholar, I have a great future in the future, and I am your son's classmate, and my temperament and family background are clear, it is very suitable, maybe I can also be an official wife in the future....."
Before she finished speaking, she was pulled by her companion, and she didn't react, "Why are you pulling me, I'm making an idea!"
”"Thank you."
Chen said, then stood up, "It's not too early, I'll go see the bride." ”After she had gone straight away, the quick-talking woman's companion said, "Are you really a child who doesn't know what kind of pot you don't open and don't know is born to your aunt?"
The more you talk, the more heart-wrenching it becomes, and people will be annoyed with you. ”"The wife of this rich family is not having a good time, and there is an aunt."
The mouth is fast and the woman is humane."
I'll tell you a secret, don't tell anyone else."
The companion pulled her and offered the almighty golden sentence, "I heard that it was the main room that used means to pass the child out, so as not to rob her son of the family property, but now that the outside is out, her own is still a milk baby, she thinks about it and can be angry!"
”What the companion said was speculation, but it was not far from the truth.Chen kept a dignified expression and walked to the backyard, and when he reached a place where no one was, he tore off his veil with a stab.It's all his fault, it's all his fault!
Why can't he be an ordinary person and have to dangle in front of her?
Why?
Haiting, her Haiting still has hope!
Chen is like a madman, her child is almost six years old, and he will soon be able to enter school and surpass him.Thinking of this, Chen had a calm expression and walked to the bridal room.Mrs.
Quanfu has already twisted her noodles and is covering Zeng Yan'er's head.Zeng Yan'er's immature face was decorated with red and white fat powder, revealing a bit of charm.She was facing the mirror and didn't see her eldest sister's jealous expression.She's the sister!
Why is it my sister who is married!
Why?
How ugly is it for outsiders to say about her now?
Zeng Wan'er kept stirring the veil to relieve the anger in her heart.Zeng Wan'er saw her mother enter the house, so she adjusted her expression and greeted her with a smile, "Mother, how is it outside?"
”Chen patted the back of her hand and whispered, "Okay!
You tidy up your clothes and makeup, and there are young talents waiting for you to choose from. ”Zeng Wan'er pretended to be shy, "What are you talking about!"
”"If I don't say it as a mother, who will tell you?"
Chen said, "The most important thing in a woman's life is to catch the man first, and then the son."
As long as you do these two things well, you will have a safe and smooth life. ”"Yan'er, after getting married, you must be filial to your in-laws, take care of your body, and give birth to a boy as soon as possible, so that your life will be better.I heard that there is only one girl left in front of my uncle, which is not a hindrance to you, you just have a kitten and a puppy to play. ”Zeng Yan'er's mouth was full of words and was blocked, and she nodded yes.My uncle did leave only one girl, who was ten years old, and the difference between her and her was only five years old, how could she, a young stepmother, discipline her?
The mother and daughter talked in private, and they were lively, and Xi Po came in to report that the aunt's welcoming team had arrived at the entrance of the village, so that the bride could get ready.Zeng Yan'er hurriedly covered her head and sat quietly on the edge of the bed, waiting for Xi Po's command.The Cheng family's welcoming team blew into the village, and the groom sitting on the tall horse looked at the surrounding environment and frowned slightly, this place is really quite simple.If it was Cheng Zilang before, it would definitely not be eye-catching.His first wife was the only daughter of the country's priest wine, and the second wife was the daughter of the household member Wailang, if something hadn't happened later.....
He would never marry a talented second daughter.No matter how nice it sounds, that is, Xiucai's second daughter, the ancestor's connections have long been gone, and it didn't help him at all.However, at least the bride's brother is still motivated, maybe he can start to play a role, Cheng Zilang touched his chin, so that he could put away a little impatience.While speaking, the person had already arrived outside Zeng's house, he jumped down and saluted hastily to Zeng Xuanrong at the gate, "Uncle Yue, son-in-law is polite." ”"Be courteous and courteous."
Zeng Xuanrong habitually wanted to return the gift, and then he remembered that the person in front of him was a son-in-law or a junior, so he didn't need to be nervous at all, and raised his head again, "Virtuous son-in-law, please." ”Cheng Zilang twitched the corner of his mouth, according to the habit, the woman's brother wanted to come out to stop him at this time, to show that the girl Jin Gui could not easily ask for marriage, and she would always be embarrassed by the groom, Zeng Xuanrong even saved this process.The immature young man behind Zeng Xuanrong endured it, but still stood up, "Future brother-in-law, you are outstanding in learning, why don't you make a hypnotic poem to listen to it?"
”Second Uncle Zeng kept pulling his son's sleeves in the back, what was the matter of the big house mixed with!
People won't be grateful to you!
But the young man Zeng Yuanting remained motionless and stood firmly in place.Fortunately, Cheng Zilang was also prepared, he took out the poems he made back then and read them out, and passed the test smoothly.In the flower hall first, Cheng Zilang saw Zeng Huting standing on the side, with an elegant middle-aged man beside him, the two were very close, at least more like a father and son than the person in front of him.Cheng Zilang was thoughtful and looked back at Zeng Xuanrong.The author has something to say: Thank you for the thunder cast by the little angel, woo woo, moved to thank the little angel who voted for me during 2020-07-0323:06:42~2020-07-0417:24:09 Oh ~ Thank you to the little angel who threw the grenade: 1 idle girl; Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Chapter 67 Zeng Xuanrong naturally saw that scene, but his cheeks were thicker than others thought, so he turned a blind eye and asked with a smile, "Virtuous son-in-law, what's the problem?"

”"Not really."
Cheng Zilang shook his head and stepped into the door.Without one less procedure, Cheng Zilang came to the embroidery building earlier than he thought, and naturally there was no one to stop him here, so he could enter if he wanted to.Xi Po was originally guarding the door, and when she saw the groom coming in, she was stunned, why didn't anyone stop her?
She had an idea and shouted, "The groom is here, where is the person who asked for the red envelope?"
”Zeng Yan'er in the room was startled, she came so quickly, she hurriedly covered her head and sat down again.So Cheng Zilang stood outside the door, waiting for the next move, and the bride's brother carried her out and carried her to the door to give the sedan chair.The bride is not allowed to take a single step before entering her husband's house.But....
The bride's own brother is only six years old, and he definitely can't afford to carry it.Zeng Yuanting in the second room gritted his teeth and went up, this time it was useless for his father to argue, after all, it was a girl with the same surname, and she was seen as a joke on the big day, and the girl in the second room will not be easy to marry in the future.Zeng Yan'er didn't know how the family was arranged, she only stood up from the side of the embroidery bed, and then felt a thin body carrying her out of the door, under the red bead string cover, she could only see that it was the source of the second room."
Second brother, is that you?"
Zeng Yan'er asked in a low voice.Afraid of losing his strength, Zeng Yuanting snorted to show his consent, he was still young, and he carried his older sister in one breath, and when he walked outside the second gate, he was already trembling, and he was about to lose his strength.He gritted his teeth, helped up with his right hand, and was about to walk to the sedan chair in one go, when suddenly two hands held the bride, "Brother Yuan, I'll come." ”Zeng Huting stood behind him, his body was long, and his arms stronger than Zeng Yuanting took the bride and put it on his back.Zeng Yuanting was stunned for a moment, and then listened to Hu Ting say, "Let's go, what are you doing in a daze." ”Didn't you say that it was good to give a marriage?
Zeng Yuanting followed stupidly, and kept seeing his cousin, who rarely met, sending his cousin into the sedan chair steadily.Zeng Yan'er was anxious to lift the hijab, but finally pressed it and asked in a low voice, "Big brother?"
Is it Big Brother?
”"Well, it's me, let's get married with peace of mind."
Zeng Huting stood up straight and exhaled softly, after all, he couldn't bear it."
Hmm."
Zeng Yan'er had a sour nose for a while, and her wetness blurred her eyes.The bride sat down, the sedan chair got up, the blowing team restarted, and the gongs and drums were noisy.They will first send the bride to the courtyard rented by the Cheng family next door, and after the placement is completed, they will rush to the in-laws' house with the groom to visit the church, and the relatives of the woman's family do not need to follow, and can feast guests at their own house.Cheng Zilang was surrounded by the relatives of the Zeng family, and according to the custom, he had to toast with the main relatives.Zeng Xuanrong accompanied him throughout the whole process, and his attitude was not like his father-in-law, but like his son-in-law.After all, this son-in-law is more powerful than him, and he has already been promoted, and the son-in-law's father is not to mention, even more powerful.Zeng Xuanrong looked at Zeng Huting sitting in the flower hall with vague eyes, as long as his son-in-law is capable, he will be able to appear after being lifted, why bother looking at people's faces?
Thinking of the bright future and the majesty of being an official, Zeng Xuanrong's dedication is even more powerful.Cheng Zilang toasted in a circle with his relatives, but he came to Zeng Huting and Zeng Fengnian alone with a glass of wine, and called affectionately, brother-in-law.Zeng Huting didn't raise his head, "It's wrong." ”"I'm just the bride's brother.""
Brother is also an elder brother, this relationship can't be erased, right?"
Cheng Zilang affectionately stopped Zeng Huting's shoulder, and his attitude was completely different from just now, "Will my brother-in-law participate in the exam next year?"
”"It's all up to my father."
Zeng Huting respectfully stepped back, opened his eyes and said nonsense, he let Zeng Fengnian out.As soon as Zeng Fengnian's face was revealed, Cheng Zilang was surprised: "Uncle is fine." ”"Uncle is forgetful at first sight, gentle and elegant, no wonder he can teach such an aspiring talent as his brother-in-law.In the future, the little nephew will have more places to learn, and he will ask his uncle to give him advice. ”Cheng Zilang said a lot of beautiful words without money, and Zeng Fengnian laughed sullenly when he heard it.Cheng Zilang can see that Zeng Fengnian's temperament as an official for many years is completely different from others, and he has the heart to make friends, so he naturally wants to be closer.But Zeng Huting didn't want to get acquainted with him, he only felt that there was something inexplicable in Cheng Zilang's temperament, which was very uncomfortable.So it showed that he refused coldly, and Cheng Zilang was eager and polite.Zeng Xuanrong's face was about to turn blue, and the person he did to please in every possible way, turned his head to please another person he looked down on, isn't this equivalent to stepping on his face to the ground?
Besides, the entanglement between them, now that the parties are all together, the clansmen who know the inside story are about to laugh off their big teeth.There are eyes that do not know gold and jade, and mistakenly take jade for stubborn stone.But Zeng Xuanrong couldn't help it, what is cheekiness?
Can you exchange it for a tael of silver?
As long as it can be exchanged for real benefits, it is nothing.Fortunately, the toasting ceremony was completed quickly, and Cheng Zilang left regretfully, but it seemed to him that there were still many opportunities to contact him in the future.Cheng Zilang walked on the front foot, and Zeng Huting stood up on the back foot, "Uncle Rong said goodbye, no need to send it." ”He helped Zeng Fengnian, nodded politely, and then got into the carriage and drove away.Some of the clansmen could hear their conversation, gasping and exchanging glances.They originally said that the Zeng family is developed, so they have to take care of their biological father, right?
Even if these clansmen take care of them, how much benefit should my father get?
Now I see, it's not the same thing at all!
It's like a stranger's attitude, alas.If he hadn't succeeded in the first place, he would have been the one who would have been blessed.It can be seen that some people are not blessed with life, and the blessings sent to the door can be sent out.Even if Zeng Xuanrong repeatedly blocked it, such rumors still spread rapidly, and everyone felt that he was blessed.This was something Zeng Huting didn't expect, after he got married, the package was almost packed, and he was about to round with Tao Xing.Tao Xing arranged for his mother to live over, so he was naturally relieved, and the two hired two carriages and were ready to go on the road.In addition to some warm clothing, such as books, household registration and other important documents are wrapped in kraft paper and stored close to the body.Zeng Huting also taught Tao Xing his experience."
Put a dime of broken silver in the corner of the garment, and also the boots, so that even if you are separated, the silver on your body will not starve.There are also the most important documents, which are kept in the clothes and checked daily. ”"Is it necessary to be so cautious?"
Tao Xing had never been far away, and he was very puzzled."
Yes!
You may encounter bandits or bandits on the road, be careful, as long as you still have a dime of silver, at least you will not starve to death, and when you get to the yamen to take out your paperwork, you can also ask for help from the local area. ”Zeng Fengnian sighed, "This is also a benefit, and the identity of the person will attract attention." ”If someone dies for no reason, the county will also report it."
The carriage will go for a month!"
Zeng Huting sighed, "I can't read at all." ”This month is wasted."
Brother Chengyuan, I can memorize your article!"
Tao Xing smiled and hugged him, "Don't want to be lazy." ”Ever since he took the word, Tao Xing has often been referred to by the number.The two quarreled for a while, Tao Xing went out to say goodbye to his mother, and Zeng Fengnian also took out a letter sealed with fire paint and coughed dryly, "If you go to the capital, you can go to this person." ”"Father, didn't you say that your former friends didn't dare to contact you?"
Even if I wrote to inquire about the resumption before, I had to transfer the letter to Jiangnan, why did I find it now?"
This is a life-and-death friend for the father, and the relationship is not known to outsiders."
Zeng Fengnian said, "It's not okay to come to the door to ask for officials, but asking for advice is not noticeable."
Remember, this letter could only be opened in front of him and then watched as he himself destroyed it. ”"Okay."
Zeng Huting then took out the kraft paper, also wrapped it in his arms, and was very cautious."
Go ahead!
Say goodbye to their children. ”Zeng Fengnian waved his hand to let him leave, and turned his head to admire the calligraphy and painting in the study alone.He re-painted the "Daxi Mountain Hunting Map", and his skills were better than in the past, but the people who admired the paintings with him were not there."
I don't know if the people of the Qi family are still there?"
He muttered to himself.This letter was given to him by Qi Yueming, knowing that Hu Ting was going to Beijing to take the exam without reliable guidance from Mr., so he wrote a handwritten letter.Don't know if it works?
Zeng Fengnian was worried.Zeng Huting didn't know the story behind it, he packed up his salutes, and set off on a sunny day, to go to the capital, it would take a month to take a carriage, and he would need a lot of things across three states and counties.When the poor family was rich, he brought a thousand taels of silver, which he scattered in the salute, and even stuffed fifty taels on the roof of the carriage, trying to be prepared.The home has become a small black spot, and the familiar smell of dust is gradually moving away, and he can't give it up unconsciously."
I don't know when I'll be back?"
Tao Xing also muttered that if they pass the exam, they are very likely to be awarded an official, and if they don't pass the exam, they will have to stay and find another famous teacher, and Fucheng County will become a distant memory."
As long as the family is there, it is home."

Zeng Huting said firmly, "If you are reluctant, try to take them with you!"
”Tao Xing nodded heavily, yes, take it with you.The sorrow of leaving was gradually diluted by the loneliness of the journey, especially after walking through the city, they had walked many times on the official road of the city, and this time they no longer stayed but went in another direction, stepping into places they had never been to.So Tao Xing soon faced the first problem, motion sickness.Unexpectedly, he actually got motion sickness!"
Gross!"
He tugged at the window, trying to stick his head out for fresh air, and his chaotic mind cleared up a little, "I didn't get motion sickness before......" he said weakly."
I didn't get motion sickness before...."
But looking at Tao Xingtu, he felt that he was about to faint too."
Maybe it's been too long to get on the bus this time."
I have to spend a month in the car, and it's a big head to think about.The driver had tried his best to slow down, but Tao Xing was still dizzy."
No, you can't let them go so slowly, they won't be able to go to the capital for two months."
Tao Xing wiped his mouth, "Just hurry up, it will be here in twenty days."
Spit and spit out, maybe you won't faint. ”"Isn't the carriage bumpy?!
Idea. ”Zeng Huting touched the mint sachet and had an idea in his heart, "Otherwise, you go and try to catch the car?"
”"Huh?!"
What is this operation?"
It's all dizziness in the car, who has ever heard of the dizziness in the car?
And I remember you would drive a donkey cart, right?
”The first time they met, didn't Tao Xing drive a donkey cart?"
Yes, yes, but does it really work?"
Tao Xing drove the duck to the shelf, and the coachman gave up his place to teach him to catch the car.He has a foundation again, not to mention, he can get started quickly.Tao Xing was very nervous in his position, trying his best to pay attention to the direction of the carriage, and slowly he really didn't get dizzy.The author has something to say: Schrödinger's motion sickness, driving does not get dizzy.The second update of the evening ~ Chapter 68 The novice is very slow to get on the road, but Tao Xing has more time to see the surrounding scenery.Along the way, there are mostly official roads, and occasionally small roads.Of course, it is not too small, the driver said that these roads are repaired by the merchants themselves in order to save time, and if the detour can save three days."
It takes more time to take a detour, sir?"
The coachman asked.Looking at the continuous green hills in front of him, Tao Xing hesitated, and Zeng Huting leaned out, "Around!"
”He retracted his whole body, "It's better to be early." ”The more they went in the direction of the capital, the colder the weather became, and the north wind was so cold that they could only put on their coats."
It's been so early this winter."
Tao Xing thought for a while, "Let's go around and settle in the capital as soon as possible." ”Renting a yard and buying charcoal fires is a thing, and no one wants to go out on a snowy day.The driver turned the car around and walked to the other road, and sure enough, as he had said, the road was paved with gravel and charcoal ash, which could accommodate two cars side by side.And the official road has to go around a mountain, and the speed is much faster.It's a pity that there are no shops on the road, so you can only eat dry food.The sparsely populated trees became more and more numerous, and the large trees that passed in front of them were as tall as one person and one person hugging high, and the dead leaves swirled and fell, accumulating a thick layer."
There are many fallen leaves in the palmetto garden, and I know that it is autumn.I suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence. ”Zeng Huting looked at the fallen leaves and said suddenly."
I think that the dry leaves of the hearth simmer taro at night, and the bamboo bamboo and cold spring irrigate vegetables in the morning."
Tao Xing added."
I'm hungry, is there taro in the dry food?""
Just a mile."
So at the noon break, they raised the fire to roast the taro, first hot water and dry food, and then waited for the charcoal fire to extinguish the taro in the planing, roasted just right, gently tearing the skin, steaming, with a sweet smell, making people appetite greatly."
As the saying goes, set fire to the mountain, sit at the bottom of the prison, and put out the fire first."
Zeng Huting poured water from the stream to completely extinguish the flames, and then sat down to eat taro.Mars went straight up with white smoke.Freshly baked taro was much more popular than dry cakes, and they ate three in one go, before packing up and continuing on their way.The slow white smoke rose into the sky, allowing people not far away to see it."
Big brother, someone is here."
The big man with pockmarks on his face lay on the hillside, looking at the rolling carriage not far away."
Is it a convoy that has paid protection money?""
It doesn't look like it, it's only two cars, like a passerby.""
Forget it, we have dozens of brothers here, and they don't have enough to stuff their teeth."
The person who hit the head was deflated, "Go back." ”"Hey, big brother, don't worry, there is a good saying, if you have dates or not, you will hit two poles first, have you forgotten that there are our people in the inn in front of you?"
The pockmarked man smiled very meaningfully."
Okay, you can try it."
The leader laughed with the pockmarked man.If you do it here, you will have to divide the money with dozens of brothers, and if you do it in the inn, two people will divide it, which kind of money is more, and they can't figure out the account?
In the gap of waiting, three or five more carriages passed one after another, and the small money added together was more.The ambush withdrew, and the merchants passing by the trail walked out of the forest smoothly.As soon as I got out of the forest, I could see a small inn, although the scale was not large, it was neatly packed.Fresh out of the uninhabited forest, even if you don't need accommodation, you instinctively want to trim and wash.So the business of the inn is very good, and a few guys are busy with their feet not touching the ground.Tao Xing, who hadn't washed for several days, felt that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he discussed it with Zeng Huting, and both of them wanted to stay here for one night and wash up well."
I'm sorry, there's only one room left."
The guy said apologetically, "We're the only inn here, and there aren't many rooms, so there are no other rooms available." ”"One at a time, I'll sleep on it."
Tao Xing looked at the travelers who were still waiting to check in, and couldn't help but say that they settled down first.Sure enough, the people in the back wailed, and they had to sleep in the bunks.It's cheap, but who doesn't want a good night's rest?

Tao Xing, who grabbed the room, asked Xiao Er to send two buckets of hot water up, separated behind the screen, and after washing it up, he saw Zeng Huting tinkering with something in front of the door and window, he asked while wiping his hair, "What is this for?"
”"Check the switch!"
After plugging in the latch, Zeng Huting pushed, "Try to be firm." ”When you go out, you still have to be careful about it, otherwise people won't touch it in along the doors and windows?"
I didn't see you like this when I was in Fucheng."
Tao Xing was puzzled."
In the past, the inn we lived in was next to the Gongyuan, not to mention, once there was any news, the shopkeeper was more afraid than us, so the security was guaranteed, this is completely a wilderness, and there is not even a home, who to go to if something happens?"
Zeng Huting began to test the latch of the door, he looked around, and finally took the vase from the table, "When you go to bed at night, the vase is placed here, and we will know if someone pushes the door." ”He was about to move the vase when the latch of the window behind the vase leaked.The old-style latch was made of a horizontal log, and after a long time, the latch and the switch did not fit well and were loose, but this was not the reason for his attention.On the side of the latch, there are several thin marks."
Come and see!"
Zeng Huting flipped the latch down, revealing traces, Tao Xing took it and looked at it, "What is this?"
”"I'll show you how."
He took out the dagger from his boots, and Tao Xing was first startled by the dagger, and then stunned.Zeng Huting's dagger reached into the thin window gap, and with a flick, the originally inserted latch was poked open, and with another push, the person jumped in."
Damn!"
Tao Xing couldn't describe his mood, "This is a black shop?
”"I think it's black and white.If it's an ordinary customer, it's an ordinary store, and if it's a high roller..... there is no doubt that there will be petty theft and steal the customer's finances."
So, what do we do now?
Report to the officer?
”"It's far from the government, can we convict people with a bolt?"
Zeng Huting pondered, "I can only endure it for the time being and watch their actions tonight." ”"Okay."
Tao Xing said heavily, "Let's not sleep tonight." ”"Hmm."
Zeng Huting nodded, "In order to avoid startling the snake, let's move as usual, but there must always be someone who is awakened." ”Now, they have to go to the lobby to see all the guests.After washing, almost everyone gathered in the hall, and there was a burst of aroma coming from the kitchen, and the guys served the dishes in a flowing stream, although it was just a simple home-cooked meal, but the heat could make up for it.The two of them ordered two dishes and one soup, and observed all the guests in the corner of the hall, and counted before they came out, there were ten rooms in total, and all the rooms were indefinite, but in general, there were thirty or forty guests combined, and the men and shopkeepers of the inn were ten.This is an advantage.While eating, Tao Xing observed the guests, most of them were young and strong like them, only two families dragged their families and brought a few children, if they joined forces, they could resist.But Tao Xing also knows that the nature of human beings is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and if they are not bullied, they can rarely make up their minds to resist.They also expect the other party to let them go."
If something isn't right, shout it's on fire."
Zeng Huting tilted his head and said to him, "If there is no relationship of interest, create a relationship." ”The author has something to say: update!
Chapter 69 After identifying the guests at the inn, they went back to the inn.Ten guest rooms, theirs is exactly the last one, open the door to see the downstairs shop, as long as there is a noise, you can call people at any time.Tao Xing was worried, "Will they really make a move at night?"
Could it be that we have a misconception?
”Maybe it's just ordinary traces?"
Be prepared."
Zeng Huting put the futon on the collapse and used the pillow to make the illusion that a person was asleep, and he hid on the side of the mosquito net, which could not be seen from the door or the window."
Sleep for a while, and even if you have a move, you should go until midnight."
It was only dark, and it was true that they should hurry up and rest."
Okay."
Tao Xing's side pillow collapsed, and he could wake up at any time.He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.The genius of the third watch is the deepest sleep of people, and the matter of chickens and dogs and thieves is also capable at that time.Ordinary people may not wake up, but they are not scholars.I have long been accustomed to getting up early and going to bed late, and I will wake up at the slightest movement.It was noisy at first, but gradually there were fewer and fewer people, and the men cleaned up the benches, lit the lanterns at the door, and yawned and dragged their tired bodies to sleep.Before leaving, the guy said as usual, "Xiaolin, it's still your vigil today, wake up."
In case a guest asks for something, remember to send it. ”"Hey, that's good!"
The man named Xiaolin nodded and agreed."
There are many guests today, and the reward is yours.Well, I can't do such a good thing at my vigil. ”The guy shook his head as he walked.Xiao Lin gradually straightened up and snorted coldly, if it weren't for the eldest brother, how could he deign to be a handyman in the small inn that made people drink around?
Xiao Lin raised his head to look at the moonlight outside, no one here was watching, and judging the time was all based on the sky.The eldest brother said that all the guests who came today have to find out, but how can there be enough time?
Xiao Lin also has his own judgment, the two families who dragged their families had no money at first glance, while the other two businessmen must be rich but not easy to mess with, and they will bring people to the door to find fault if they lose something.If you want to talk about the last target, it is still those who are on the road alone.Passing through this place, people are unfamiliar with the place, and they don't dare to make a noise if they lose something, and they are even more confused, and they don't even know when they lost it.Xiao Lin can stay here for so long, and he has already developed some eyesight.He is confident that he will not be wrong, and he is patient and waits late at night.The moon hung high, Xiao Lin moved, his feet were silent, he went up to the second floor step by step, starting from the third room, he remembered that it was an old man and a young man, with half a cart of things.Xiao Lin stood at the door for a quarter of an hour to make sure that there was no movement inside, took out a thin knife from his sleeve, played with it lightly or heavily, and opened the latch in the blink of an eye.He did these actions dozens of times, such as probing for objects.The window hinges are oiled every day without a sound at all.Sure enough, pushing open the door, the old and the young slept really fragrantly, the old one snored like thunder on the bed, and the small one was not far behind, playing a symphony.And the package was placed at the end of the bed, and it was wrapped in hemp rope.This little trick couldn't stop Xiao Lin at all, he untied the rope quickly and well, and it didn't take long to untie it.There were a few clothes and wooden boxes in the coarse cloth package, and when I opened it, the three ingots of silver emitted a faint light, Xiao Lin immediately took it out and put it in his arms, there was a soft cloth in his arms, and there was no sound at all.He put the package back in the same way and stuffed something at the same time, exited the door, and the blade of the knife flipped over, and the latch moved again and went back as it was.If anyone can see his movements, they have to shout wonderful.After the father and son had finished stealing, he walked to the last room, quietly holding his breath and listening to the movement, the light of the hall shining behind him, and the silver stealing from the window paper.Zeng Huting woke up at night, he waited and waited, and he didn't wait for anyone to come, almost thinking that he was wrong.If only the latch is worn out with the old, he didn't wait for a night in vain?
As he thought so, the figure cast on the window, waiting quietly.The scene is a bit creepy, with people inside and outside the house listening to each other.As soon as the shadow shone, Tao Xing also woke up, he turned his head slightly, and motioned to ask Zeng Huting what to do?
Zeng Huting made a waiting gesture, Tao Xing didn't move, and reached out to touch the tea tray under the pillow.There were no weapons in the house, only tea trays that could barely fight.Wait, wait, wait, they were impatient, the bolt actually moved, Tao Xing's eyes widened, it was really what Huting guessed!
Too accurate, right?
He turned his head and didn't know whether to make a move, Zeng Huting signaled to wait again.Catch thieves and get dirty, although it is suspicious to pry the door, and it is not easy to convict of burglary.Since he wanted to catch the thief, Tao Xing could only quickly close his eyes and pretend that he was asleep.As soon as he closed his eyes, the window was pushed open.Caught off guard, the two looked at each other, Xiao Lin was startled, and then remembered that there were two people living in this room, and one of them fell asleep.This is a bit tricky, will he wake people up when he passes through the collapse?
Kobayashi flinched slightly.At this time, the jade pendant placed on the coffee table attracted Xiao Lin's attention, he didn't know what jade quality he knew, but this jade pendant was not ordinary if he didn't look at it, not to mention the crystal clear, and the handiwork was also extraordinary.Catch a big fish!
Xiao Lin's heart was horizontal, and people died for money, and he began to see where he could stay.Fortunately, the man on the couch was sleeping on his side, leaving enough space, and he stepped on the coffee table, which was completely undisturbing.Carefully stepped onto the coffee table, and then fell to the middle, the light emitted by the jade pendant made Xiao Lin's heart beat like a drum.He only dared to touch it when he touched it, the jade was warm and lubricated, and he didn't know how much he could sell?
The jade pendant is so valuable, and there may be many silver tickets in the package.He looked around the room and saw no packages, his eyes fixed on the bed, and several packages could be faintly seen through the mosquito net.How much silver is in it?
Or a silver ticket?
Kobayashi touched it, ready to reach for the package.Unexpectedly, the package was put away so well, and there was no rope to tie it up again.Under the mosquito net, a pair of bright eyes stared at him, and greeted him softly, "Good evening." ”At the same time, a dagger rested on the lower artery of his neck.
