Working Emperor of the Northern and Southern Dynasties
Chapter 265: Visiting the He family again with suspicion
The woman was furious, but she didn't dare to chase her. She could only stomp her feet in place, wishing that she could crush all the stones on the ground.
It wasn't until Chen Chang's footsteps faded away that she cautiously opened her eyes and cursed fiercely in the direction in which Chen Chang was escaping: "Smelly Taoist priest, when I see you again, my aunt, I will cut you into pieces with a thousand knives.
Cramps peel off the skin, bruise the bones and scatter ashes..."
Thinking that I didn't see the other person's face clearly just now, I couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. I was afraid that I might not be able to recognize this thief if I saw him face to face.
He stamped his foot hard and kicked a piece of gravel on the ground. The chestnut-sized stone flew up quickly and broke a thin bamboo ten steps away with a click.
By the way, there is also sound!
That voice can be recognized even if it turns into ashes.
I didn't expect that this Yuanmiao Temple would be so dirty and dirty, with such a person of bad character hidden inside.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and a strong murderous intention gradually appeared in her eyes.
Xiao Yu'er had packed up her change of clothes and was sitting on the threshold holding her fragrant cheeks in a daze, when she saw Mr. Gu Du Gu Lang came back angrily, his face was wet and the water drops on his hair were still there, so he hurriedly got up to get it.
A brocade handkerchief was handed to him.
"Why are you back so early?"
"Hmm!"
Gu Du wiped his face carelessly and sat on a rattan pier, huffing and sulking.
Seeing his abnormal expression, Xiao Yu'er asked: "Isn't that hot spring not what Mr. Wang wants?"
Gu Du was very angry, but faced with the innocent little Yu'er, he couldn't get angry.
In order for everyone to enjoy the hot springs, the Taoist priests from Xuanmiao Temple spent a lot of time arranging the time. Originally, they thought that Gu Du would wash first, and then Wang Huan and the others.
This is nothing at all, but when the Taoists informed the two families, they did not introduce too much about each other's situation.
Therefore, neither Gu Du nor Wang Huan knew the order of the two parties. However, Chen Chang wanted to make a time difference, but Gu Du happened to bump into him.
Xiao Yu'er had a spirit of breaking out of the casserole and asking for the truth. He frowned and asked again: "Is it because the water is too hot or too cold? If so, Xiao Langjun should tell Xiao Yu'er earlier, and I won't
Gone!"
Gu Du turned his head to one side, but Xiao Yu'er didn't give up and followed him to the other side, saying in an almost coquettish tone: "Xiao Langjun, please tell me, how is that hot spring?"
"Oh, I haven't been to a hot spring yet, so I don't know what it feels like..."
Gu Du was really impatient with what she said, so he said: "It feels like someone else has washed it!"
"Ah?" Xiao Yu'er stared at her big black eyes, confused, "What does it feel like someone else has washed it?"
"Are there many people there?" Xiao Yu'er looked at Gu Du innocently, "Xiao Langjun, did you wash with those Taoist priests?"
Gu Du couldn't help but roll his eyes, but no, that smelly Taoist priest got there first. Fortunately, he found out early, otherwise wouldn't he have washed it with him?
I just think about this in my heart and never dare to say it out loud.
Xiao Yu'er blinked again and said: "Didn't the Taoist priest say that the spring water is living water and can flow all the way to the outside of Xuanmiao Temple? It doesn't matter even if you wash with those Taoist priests..."
Gu Du almost suffered from internal injuries.
"Xiao Langjun, they have all finished washing at this time."
Gu Du found that the more he explained, the more questions Xiao Yuer had, so he simply said: "Yeah!"
Xiao Yuer smiled and said: "In that case, I can go."
With that said, I carried a small bag with a change of clothes and headed out.
Gu Du hurriedly caught up with him, but Xiao Yuer stopped and said shyly: "Oh, I'm going to take a bath, what are you doing with me?"
Gu Du is very depressed. I follow you, of course, to protect you from being taken advantage of by lewd thieves.
However, this reason cannot be stated openly and honestly. How irritating it is for you to say...
Chen Chang unintentionally got into a big disaster. Knowing that he could no longer stay in Xuanmiao Temple, he went directly to Wang Huan. Naturally, he couldn't mention a word about what happened at the hot spring. He only said that he already knew about it.
Qingyi's whereabouts, anxious to ask Wang Huan to go with him.
Wang Huan was eager to save people, so she put aside the bathing matter for the time being, and hurried away with Chen Chang. Ma Liang heard the news and followed closely.
The three of them arrived at the home of the rescuer. Under Ma Liang's questioning, the family revealed the truth.
As Mr. He and his family described things, things became clearer and clearer.
It turned out that the person they rescued that day was Lou Qingyi. This family was also an honest family. They originally wanted to send Lou Qingyi back to Jiangling, but for some reason, before the ugly moment passed, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
There was a rapid knock on the door. Someone was banging on the door knocker outside and shouting loudly into the yard for someone to open the door.
The door was opened by He Dalang, the son of He Laozhang. He held up a light and came out to answer the door. His father He Laozhang was worried and followed him out in his clothes. He Laozhang is sixty-two this year. Because he has been living on the water all year round, the humidity is too heavy and his legs and feet are not tight.
Not very neat.
He Dalang rubbed his sleepy eyes and came to the door, and asked through the door: "Who is it, knocking on the door in the middle of the night?"
Someone outside the door said anxiously: "Is this Mr. He? I am the steward of Mr. Mo's family in Zouma Town. Mr. Mo has something urgent and needs to cross the river overnight. I searched for a boat for half the night, but no one agreed.
My husband has an extremely important business in Jiangzuo this time, so we can't delay it for a moment. My husband said that as long as Mr. He is willing to ferry us across the river, he will give us five guan for the shipping fee in advance, and there will be another 5 guan for us when we get to Jiangzuo.
Reward."
When He Dalang saw such a generous reward, he was about to agree, but was pulled by his father who was following behind him. He Laozhang cleared his throat and said to the people outside the door: "Sir, our boat is usually used for fishing.
The smell inside is terrible, I’m afraid I’ve been wronged and neglected Master Mo. Besides, my legs and feet are not very convenient, old man, so I can’t row the oar and sail the boat. You’d better go to other boat owners to check it out!”
I heard the steward outside the door pause and say: "Every boatman that can be called in this area has been invited, but no one is willing to agree. They say that you, Mr. He, are honest and open-minded. The key is that you are the safest in sailing. We
The master has taken a fancy to you!"
He Dalang pulled his father's sleeves. Ten guan of money was a very considerable income for fishermen like them. It was enough for them to buy a bigger and newer boat, pay off part of the debt, and still have some leftovers.
They spent a lot of money to support their family. The boat they have now has been launched for more than ten years, and they have only managed to survive until today.
He Dalang looked at his father with a pleading look in his eyes.
He Laozhang said to the steward outside the door: "Oh...it's not that I don't want to help Mr. Mo, it's just that our boat is in disrepair for a long time, and it can only sail on smooth water. Once it encounters a bigger storm, it will be lost in an instant."
It will overturn and leak in a short time. I really don’t dare to joke with Master Mo’s life.”
When He Dalang saw his father rejecting him again, he stamped his feet angrily. How could he still struggle with money?
