Chapter 14 014: Be wise and protect yourself (thanks to the main cute girl Gaomei +2)
Walking to the steps under the corridor, Qishan raised his hand to take off the bamboo hat, bent over and put the clogs side by side, and lifted the hem of his clothes to step on the steps barefoot. Take off the water ladle hanging on the wooden post, scoop up the rainwater from the stone basin under the porch, and wash away the mud on your feet.
Shen Tang also took off his clogs, subconsciously went to look for indoor shoes, but couldn't find any replacements after searching around. Qishan rolled up the dirty clothes and tied them around the bend of the legs, took out a special handkerchief from the sleeves to wipe off the water stains on the feet, and then handed the ladle to Shen Tang.
The two of them are not too slow, and the middle-aged man has already taken off the pair of wooden clogs that don't fit well and the soles are worn out, and stepped on the wooden steps with his bare feet, leaving a few wet footprints with muddy water - although the courtyard was cleaned very clean , many places were paved with gravel, but muddy puddles would still form when the rain was heavy, and it was easy to get dirty feet—seeing that Shen Tang and the two were busy together, he laughed out loud.
"The two of you can do whatever you want, there is no need to trouble yourself."
When Shen Tang heard the man's words, he washed his feet with two ladles, smiled and threw the ladle into the stone basin, and stepped on the wooden steps with two bangs and bangs.
There is a bit of sternness in the words of prayer.
"Young Li, what's your etiquette?"
Shen Tang waved at him with a smile: "Isn't the lobbyist doing as he pleases? My brother is just too polite, why don't you come up and take shelter from the rain?"
Qi Shan took a deep breath, and seemed to have nothing to do with Shen Tang's move, and turned around to apologize to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was quite self-restraining, he kept smiling and said "nothing" several times, and he didn't show any discomfort on his face, instead he praised Shen Tang's true temperament and vivaciousness.
Qi Shan sighed: "But Brother She is twelve years old this year, and he is still so unsteady, I am worried that he will suffer a lot in the future..."
The middle-aged man froze slightly.
"Brother? Is this a young gentleman?"
Qi Shan nodded: "Yes, the youngest brother in the family. His appearance follows my mother's. Because of his male and female appearance, he has often caused misunderstandings over the years."
The middle-aged man sneered twice, saying that he had made a mistake and mistook the boy for the girl Jiao'e.
As he spoke, he led the two of them to the side room, and asked Shen Tang and the others to wait for the rain here. If the rain did not abate, they could also stay there for the night.
The middle-aged man suddenly said: "Remembering that East Chef is still warming a pot of **** soup, why don't you two drink some **** soup to warm up?"
Pray for the middle-aged man with his hands crossed.
The man said: "You two wait a moment."
As the footsteps gradually faded away, Shen Tang put away his cynical smile and looked serious and dignified: "This man is lying and full of flaws. No matter whether he is serving **** soup in Dongchu, we have to be careful."
Qishan: "Naturally, we must be vigilant. The village official said that Ah Yan has a brain disease, and he was abandoned in Zhuangzi since he was born. He ignored it, so that the servants were neglectful. This can also be seen from the children's clothes hanging in the yard. But this person said that Ah Yan is his son, heh!"
Shen Tang walked around the room, touching the decorations with his fingers from time to time, twisting his fingers, his fingertips were clean and free of dust.
There are two neatly arranged desks near the leaky window, one large and one small, and 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 it and found that it was for children's enlightenment, and there were both adult handwriting and children's graffiti on it.
She said: "The cleaning is quite clean. It seems that those servants are not completely idle... It's just that it's a heavy rainy day, and the wind and rain are so strong that they can blow the thatched hut into the sky. No one came out to collect the clothes to dry in the courtyard. It's unreasonable."
Qishan said indifferently: "Also, that man is dressed as a scholar, but he has a fierce look, fierce eyes, and blood on his body. It is more reckless to say that he is a scholar, and he is full of lies—I am worried that it is not because I don't want to accept it, but It is impossible to collect…”
In other words, no life to collect.
Shen Tang raised his eyebrows: "A bandit?"
Qi Shan said: "The current situation is turbulent, and it is not uncommon for grass to turn into bandits and rob houses."
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 is very likely that there will be no survivors. They are either bandits or thieves. Anyway, they will not be the owner of this village."
Looking for A Yan, he couldn't find it, but encountered a murder case instead.
Shen Tang took a deep breath.
Qi Shan laughed and said: "Mr. Shen, are you afraid?"
Even he himself didn't believe it when he said this.
Shen Tang sat down on the mat, blinked and said: "I am a good citizen who obeys the law. How can I not be afraid of this kind of murderer who is very likely to be extremely vicious and destroy people all over the house? Mr. Qi, we are now in the wolf's den. It is a hungry wolf. Chinese food..."
As he spoke, he took out the hatchet stuck in his waist.
The hatchet was hidden by the middle-aged man with his clothes.
Qishan’s saber was not brought out, and the only thing the two could rely on was this hatchet. Holding the handle of the knife gave her a sense of security. In fact, she can't figure it out now, why should she, a house girl painter who lives at home, go through such exciting things?
Though—
Although she killed an official, she accepted the reality calmly afterwards, but she thought it was self-defense, coupled with the residual factors of this body, which made her a house girl who couldn't lift her hands or shoulders. The fierce and cold-blooded side.
She herself is very friendly.
After all, what kind of bad intentions can a painter who dares to be angry and dare not speak out after being urged and yelled at by the editor?
Pray for goodness: "..."
"We have entered the wolf's den, but it is not known who is the food on the hungry wolf's plate." When he said the words "following the public and obeying the law" from Shen Tang's mouth, his expression became numb, and he dismantled the stage bluntly, and smiled, " Good people who obey the law will not be fugitives."
Unexpectedly, Shen Tang said: "Mr. Qi didn't know something, and I have a big grievance. If you die on the road of distribution without knowing it, or die on the collapse of a church in Xiaocheng, in the future, Master Qingtian will find out that there is still me like me." I was an innocent person, but the Sri Lankan had already passed away at that time, leaving only regrets. In order not to let this happen, and to defend the justice of the law, I have to save my life, and it is reasonable to be a fugitive.”
Pray for goodness: "..."
He looked at the eloquent Mr. Shen Xiaolang, and felt that he had lived a long time, and his skin was not as thick as a brat.
Just as he was about to say something, the smile on Shen Tang's face suddenly disappeared, he straightened up and looked towards the direction outside the door, and raised his hand to his lips to signal Qishan to keep quiet. After a while, the heavy footsteps came closer and closer, and the middle-aged man came over with two bowls of steaming **** 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, the two of Shen Tang held up their respective bowls, lowered their eyes to their lips, and were about to open their lips to drink.
Seeing that the two were undefended at all, the middle-aged man was overjoyed. However, just as the corners of his lips were about to sneer, a bowl of steaming **** soup came pouring over his noodles in the next second. Immediately following the low table, it flew up and smashed towards the front door.
Praying for goodness and pouring soup, Shen Tang lifted the table.
Then-
Qi Shan retreated behind Shen Tang quietly, and said calmly and calmly: "Know the male, guard the female, and retreat if you can't do something. This is the way to protect yourself wisely."
Shen Tang: "???"
Shen Tang: "!!"
This is the second update on the 26th, and there will be an update on the 27th.
