Chapter 14 014: Protect yourself wisely (Thanks to the cute main girl Gao Mei +2)
Walk to the steps under the corridor, pray for good, raise your hands to take off your bamboo hat, bend down and put the clogs side by side, lift up the hem of your clothes and step on them with bare feet steps. He took off the water ladle hanging on the wooden pillar, scooped up the rainwater from the stone basin under the corridor, and washed away the mud on his feet.
Shen Tang also took off his clogs and subconsciously looked for indoor shoes. He scanned around and couldn't find any replacements. Qi Shan rolled up the dirty hem and tied it to the crook of his leg. He took out a special handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the water stains on his feet, and then handed the water ladle to Shen Tang.
The movement of the two was not slow, and the middle-aged man had already taken off his pair of wooden clogs that did not fit well and had worn soles. He stepped on the wooden steps with his bare feet, leaving a few wet footprints with muddy water. ——Although the courtyard is very clean and paved with stones in many places, muddy puddles will still accumulate when it rains heavily, and it is easy to get your feet dirty.——Seeing Shen and Tang busy, he laughed out loud.
"You two can do whatever you want, no need to go to such trouble."
When Shen Tang heard the man's words, he washed his feet with two gourds, smiled, threw the gourd into the stone basin, and stepped up the wooden steps with a clanking sound.
There is a bit of severity in the words of prayer.
"Youli, where are your etiquette?"
Shen Tang smiled and waved to him: "Don't lobbyists do as they please? Brother, you are too polite, why don't you come up and avoid it? To take shelter from the rain?”
Qi Shan took a deep breath, seemingly helpless with Shen Tang’s move, and turned to apologize to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was very well-mannered. He kept smiling and said "nothing" several times. He didn't show any displeasure on his face. Instead, he praised Shen Tang for his lively temperament.
Qishan sighed: "But my brother is already 12 this year, and he is still so unsteady and unsteady. I am worried that he will suffer big losses in the future..."
The middle-aged man's expression froze slightly.
"My younger brother? Is this a young man?"
Qishan nodded: "Yes, the youngest brother in the family. His appearance has taken after my mother's. Because of his male-female appearance, over the years, It often leads to misunderstandings.”
The middle-aged man sneered twice and said that he had made a mistake and mistook the man for the woman Jiao'e.
After saying that, he led the two of them to a side room and asked Shen Tang and the others to wait for the rain here. If the rain did not stop, they could stay there for the night.
The middle-aged man suddenly said: "Remembering that there is still a pot of ginger soup warming in the east kitchen, why don't you two drink some ginger soup to warm yourself up?"
Qishan crossed his hands and thanked him. middle-aged man.
The man said: "You two, wait for a moment."
As the footsteps gradually faded away, Shen Tang put away his cynical smile and looked serious: "This man is lying. They are all flaws, whether he goes to the East Kitchen to serve ginger soup or not, we have to be careful.”
Qishan: "Of course you have to be vigilant. Muramasa said that Ayan had a brain disease and was abandoned in Zhuangzi since he was born. He ignored her and ignored her, which caused many servants to be careless. This can also be seen from the children's clothes hanging in the courtyard. But this person said that Ayan was his son, ha!"
Shen Tang walked around the room, touching the furnishings in the room with his fingers from time to time, and twirling them, his fingertips were clean and free of dust.
There are two neatly arranged book desks, one large and one small, placed near the leaky window. The bookshelves are used as partitions to divide the room into several different areas. Shen Tang casually picked up the bamboo slips on the table, opened them and found that they were for children's enlightenment. There were both adults' handwriting and children's graffiti on them.
She said: "The cleaning is quite clean. It seems that the servants are not not working at all... It's just a rainy day. The wind and rain are so strong that it can blow the huts into the sky. No one comes out to dry the yard. It’s very unreasonable to put your clothes in.”
Qi Shan said calmly: "Also, the man was dressed as a scholar, but he had a fierce look, fierce eyes, and blood on his body. To say he is a scholar is more like recklessness, and he is full of lies - I'm afraid not I don’t want to collect it, but I can’t collect it...”
In other words, I have no life to collect it.
Shen Tang raised his eyebrows: "A bandit?"
Qi Shan said: "The current situation is turbulent, and it is not uncommon to fall into bandits and rob homes."
Not only is it not uncommon, It has even become the only means of livelihood for some people, and it will lead a whole village to "get rich".
“It seems that the odds are stacked against me.”
"It's very likely that none of them will be left alive. He's either a bandit or a thief. Anyway, he can't be the owner of this village." Looking for Ayan, he didn't find him. Instead, he ran into a murder case.
Shen Tang took a breath of air.
Qishan said funnyly: "Shen Xiaolangjun, are you afraid?"
Even he himself didn't believe what he said.
Shen Tang sat down on the mat and blinked: "I am a good citizen who abides by the law. How can I not be afraid of these criminals who are very likely to be extremely vicious and kill everyone? Mr. Qi, we are now in the wolf's den. We are hungry wolves. Meal on the plate..."
As he said, he took out the hatchet stuck in his waist.
The hatchet was hidden from the middle-aged man by his clothes.
Qi Shan’s sword was not brought out, so the only thing the two of them could rely on was this hatchet. Holding the handle of the knife, she felt somewhat safe. In fact, she can't figure it out now, why should she, a homebody painter who is content at home, experience such an exciting thing?
Although——
Although she killed an official and calmly accepted the reality afterwards, she thought it was self-defense, and the remaining factors in this body caused her to become such a nerd who could not lift it with her hands or carry it on her shoulders. A fierce and cold-blooded side.
She is very friendly in person.
After all, what bad intentions can there be in an artist who is pushed and yelled at by editors and yet dares to be angry but dare not speak out?
Qishan: "..."
"We have entered the wolf's den, but we still don't know who will be the hungry wolf on the plate." He said from Shen Tang's mouth the four principles of "obeying the law and obeying the law" As soon as he said the word, his expression became numb, and he unceremoniously undermined the situation and said with a smile, "A good citizen who abides by the law will not become a fugitive."
Unexpectedly, Shen Tang said: "Mr. Qi didn't know something, and I was wronged. If I died on the distribution road without knowing it, or on a collapsed building in the Xiaocheng Jiaofang, Mr. Qingtian would overturn the case in the future and find out that I was still there." He was an innocent person, but he had passed away by then, leaving only regrets in order to prevent this scene from happening. True, in order to defend the law and justice, I have to save my life. It is reasonable to be a fugitive."
Qi Shan: "..."
He looked at Shen Xiaolangjun who was talking eloquently. I feel that I have lived a long life, but my face is not as thick as that of a young boy.
Just as he was about to say something, the smile on Shen Tang's face suddenly disappeared. He straightened up and looked in the direction of the door. He raised his hand and put it against his lips to signal Qi Shan not to say anything. After a while, heavy footsteps came closer and closer, and the middle-aged man came over with two bowls of steaming ginger soup.
“You two have been waiting for a long time.”
Qi Shan and Shen Tang nodded in thanks.
Under the gaze of the middle-aged man, Shen and Tang held up their respective bowls, lowered their eyes to their lips, and were about to open their lips and drink.
Seeing that the two of them were not defensive at all, the middle-aged man felt happy. However, just as the corner of his lips was about to raise a hint of sarcasm, who knew the next second a bowl of steaming ginger soup splashed over his noodles. Then the low table flew up and hit the front door.
Praying for kindness and pouring soup, Shen Tang flipped the table.
Then——
Qishan quietly retreated behind Shen Tang and said calmly and calmly: "Know the male and guard the female. If you can't do anything, retreat. This is the wise way to protect yourself."
Shen Tang: "??? "
Shen Tang: "! ! "
This is the second update on the 26th, and there will be an update on the 27th.
