Ye Xiaotian thought to himself, if I explain my identity to you, I will have to gossip for a long time, so I pushed the boat along the way, approved Mao Wenzhi's statement, and said with a smile: "Yes! But I was only locked up for more than a month."
Mao Wenzhi said excitedly: "That's no wonder. There are too many people imprisoned recently, and I can't recognize them. But I am a senior figure, so there is no one who doesn't know me. Even the new guards are looking for me. Please tell me about the prison. Little brother, you have only been out for a few days, and it looks like you are doing well."
Ye Xiaotian's heart suddenly moved: "I showed my face in Sanlizhuang, and many people watching the quarrel between the two families have seen my appearance. It may not be easy to understand the situation of Xue's family. If this person can help, he alone It's probably much easier to make a new face."
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "You don't have a place to settle down yet, do you? Well, I still have a room vacant here, so you can stay here first."
Mao Wenzhi was overjoyed when he heard that, and hurriedly thanked him: "Brother, at first glance, you are a loyal person! After all, you have been in prison together, we have a strong relationship."
In a blink of an eye, Ye Xiaotian was upgraded from "little brother" to "big brother". Mao Wenzhi looked reckless, but he also had his cunning, Ye Xiaotian just laughed it off.
Mao Wenzhi was nagging, and followed Ye Xiaotian inside. Xue Shuiwu's room has not been returned, and now she is left at home by her father, Ye Xiaotian can't let Yaoyao live alone, so he moved his luggage to her room, and gave his own room to Mao Wenzhi.
After everything was settled, Ye Xiaotian took Leyao to Mao Wenzhi's room again, and casually asked about Mao Wenzhi's background, Mao Wenzhi slapped his thigh immediately, and said with deep emotion: "It's really bitter to talk about my experience. A tear will make those who hear it sad, and those who listen will cry!"
Ye Xiaotian immediately regretted it when he heard that it meant "to tell a long story", but Mao Wenzhi didn't give him a chance to refuse, so he immediately talked about his history of blood and tears...
After Xue's father drove Ye Xiaotian away, he returned to the main room and stood still, listening carefully, and heard a burst of weeping from the daughter's room, and sometimes the voice of the old wife persuading the daughter, Xue's father frowned, turned around He walked back to the door, sat down on the threshold, and thought about things in silence.
When Ye Xiaotian said that he had two hundred taels of savings, he had indeed touched Father Xue, but he gave up the idea for just a moment. How much money can Ye Xiaotian give him? Once Shui Wu marries far away from the capital, who can the old couple rely on in the future
The young man of the Xie family is doing well now. He works as the third steward in Shui Xitian's family. Is the steward an ordinary person
Xue's father had approached Xie's family a long time ago, and wanted his son-in-law to go to Jingzhou with him to pick up his daughter, but Xie Chuanfeng kept pushing, saying that there were too many affairs in the Tian family and he wanted to regret the marriage, but Xue The father believed it was because he had never seen his daughter in what she looked like now.
A few years ago, my daughter was still a yellow-haired girl who hadn't grown up. Although her eyebrows, eyes and facial features were pretty, she was still a little girl. It is not the case now, the daughter is like a willow branch that has been pulled out, but the longer it grows, the more handsome it will be. If the Xie family sees it now, it will not fascinate him. right! This son-in-law is still lucky!
Thinking of this, Father Xue let out a long breath: "I will go to Lao Xie's house tomorrow, and ask Lao Xie to send a message to his eldest son, telling him to come back, as long as he sees my daughter If he looks like this, this son-in-law won't be able to run away from him!"
Inside the inn, Mao Wenzhi crossed his thighs and was chatting with Ye Xiaotian: "I am originally from Shenyang Wei. Shenyang Wei, do you know? It's far away, and it's outside the customs. Our house, it was originally Baozi The poorest family in the village, my parents died early, and I lived by herding sheep for Wang Laocai’s family. But later I became the richest person in our fort. Do you know why? I know you don’t know, break your head you can't think of..."
Ye Xiaotian: "..."
Mao Wenzhi said triumphantly: "One day, I was herding sheep on the mountain, and suddenly I heard a loud crack in the sky, and the valley was full of flames, which scared me so much that my calf twisted. Drifting. After waiting for a while, there was no more movement, so I went to the valley to look, and guess what, there was a big hole in the ground, it was old and deep, and it was shining inside, so I decided, this is You have a treasure! I dig it, dig it, it takes a lot of effort, and in the end, guess what I dug out? Haha, I knew you didn't know, and you wouldn't even think of breaking your head... "
Ye Xiaotian looked at Yaoyao speechlessly, Yaoyao covered her mouth and yawned, and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Brother Xiaotian, I'm going to play with Fuwaer."
There was one less audience member, and Mao Wenzhi continued to be very interested, gesticulating: "I dug out a piece of dog's head gold! Oh my god, such a big piece of dog's head gold weighs dozens of catties, but I suddenly became a piece of gold!" He is the richest person in our fort, Wang Laocai and his family are not as rich as me."
Ye Xiaotian was puzzled and said: "Then why... have you come here and ended up in such a field?"
Mao Wenzhi said: "Wind money can easily lead to misfortune, don't you know? In the area of our fortress, there is a group of scorpions, which is very noisy. Do you know the scorpions? It's beards, bandits, understand? That period of time Well, they're making a lot of noise around our fort.
I am the richest, can you not be afraid? I went through the cellar and hired bodyguards, but I thought it was unreliable. Then I came up with a clever plan: I climbed on the roof. Generally speaking, it is possible for a lock to break into your house, rummage through boxes and chests, and dig three feet into the ground, but there is no one looking for it on the house.
So, I sleep on the roof with gold in my pocket every night, you don’t know that, in the snowy and cold winter, I wore three layers of cotton-padded jackets, and an old sheepskin jacket over it, and finally put on a quilt jacket, which made me look the same Like a blind bear, he had to carry a bottle of strong wine in his arms to keep out the cold.
I slept on the roof every night for half a month, and it made me go crazy. At that time, my thoughts changed, and I thought, why don't I let the scorpion snatch it? If he snatches it, he won't come again, and I don't have to suffer this pain anymore. As a result, I waited and waited, and waited until the cockroach didn't come, and I was so worried that I couldn't eat or sleep. Why don't they come? "
Ye Xiaotian: "..."
Mao asked Zhi: "I'm almost driven crazy by them. I don't want any money, okay? So I gave all the money to the poor in the fort, and now I'm a poor man again."
Ye Xiaotian wondered and said: "Then... you can continue to herd the sheep, what are you doing in the pass?"
Mao Wenzhi replied embarrassingly: "Isn't that because I showed off when I had two bad money, offended Wang Laocai, and he didn't need me to herd his sheep, so I went south all the way as part-time workers, because outside the customs This winter is very cold, and I figured that if we go to a warmer place, will the winter be better?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Then why did you go to jail?"
Mao Wenzhi said: "Because when I arrive in Huxian County, I will graze sheep for others, and I will graze sheep for the prison boss's family. After that, his wife will hook up with me. You say I am a strong young man, and I have never had a woman. What? I can't stand her seduction, so I put her to sleep."
Ye Xiaotian nodded and said in admiration: "The hero is so capable! You slept the wife of the prison boss, and he didn't kill you in prison. He is very worthy of you."
Mao asked Zhi: "You can pull me down, why didn't he kill me? Because he got the sweetness, in order to let him calm down, his wife gave medicine to his sister, let him fall asleep. His sister-in-law is so cute. As for Shui Ling, she is much prettier than her sister, so let's go for fun..."
Ye Xiaotian's eyes straightened: "Can such a scumbag really help me find out about the Xue family's situation? Hey! There is no general in Shu, so let him try..."
Ever since he heard about Mao Wenzhi's tragic history, Ye Xiaotian didn't have much hope for this one-sided tamp, but right now there is no one available, so he can only make do with him first, in case this guy makes a mistake Hit, what did you really find out
When Mao Wenzhi heard him explain the reason, he laughed confidently. Mao Wenzhi patted his chest and assured Ye Xiaotian: "Leave this matter to me. Don't worry, I am a poor man. I understand those things best. Poor people, they have nothing to do all day long and play with their teeth, I pretend to be a beggar to ask them, the most rare thing for us country people is to live in vain, and I will definitely find out.”
Ye Xiaotian smiled wryly: "I hope!"
Mao Wenzhi is a very righteous person, he eats Ye Xiaotian's food, uses Ye Xiaotian's food, and really does things for Ye Xiaotian, after asking Ye Xiaotian about the location of Sanlizhuang, Mao Wenzhi pocketed three days' food money, and carried He picked up his dog-beating stick and went straight to Sanlizhuang.
For the time being, Ye Xiaotian pinned his hopes on Mao Wenzhi, if he couldn't find out anything, it would not be too late to find another way, anyway, Shui Wu wouldn't get married right away. After Mao Wenzhi left, Ye Xiaotian had nothing to do in the inn, so he took Leyao out to visit Tongren City. Fuwaer was naturally their follower.
Such a "three-person group" is very eye-catching, but others just look at it, a little curious, but three beggars quietly followed behind. Ye Xiaotian sent a "beggar" to Sanlizhuang, but he never expected that there were three other "beggars" staring at him.
Yang Sanshou dropped Ye Xiaotian far away, because there was such an obvious target as Fu Wa'er, so he didn't have to worry about losing him. Yang Sanshou followed for a while, and murmured: "Seeing that they are so leisurely, do they plan to live in Tongren for a long time?"
Yue Ming was already impatient with the endless pursuit, so he couldn't help but suggest, "Boss, it's too difficult for us to find a sparsely populated place, so we might as well cut through the mess quickly, and take advantage of the dense crowd on the street to get out easily, let me do it. Take her life with a flying knife, then go back to the inn, and then take Shui Wu's life, so as not to have long nights and dreams."
Yang Sanshou hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Be smarter!"
Yue Ming was excited for a while, he could finally get out of the sea of suffering, he agreed, secretly took out a flying knife and hid it in his palm, and approached Ye Xiaotian and the others...
