Three and a half women in four courtyards

Chapter 19

Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, the peddler strolled to the gate of Cong's courtyard and shook the rattle.

At first, shake it twice at intervals, and then, the intermittent time becomes shorter and shorter, and the sound of shaking the rattle becomes longer and longer.

This kind of voice can be heard by ordinary villagers. It is a person who is urging to buy flowers, so hurry up and send money.

At first, the people in Cong's compound didn't pay much attention to the voice, but then the voice became more and more urgent, and they felt that something was wrong, so the Fourth Emperor sent Cong Duo out to ask what was going on.

"Oh, flower seller, why are you always shaking your rattle in front of our house? Do you want clams?"

Seeing that it was a little boy, the peddler said, "Ang, you are a child and you have no money. You should ask your adults to come out."

"Oh! What's going on? My dad asked me to ask." Cong Duo said.

"Ang, just now, your two elder sisters took away my two pairs of flowers, saying they were going home to get money, why haven't they sent me money yet?" said the peddler.

"Oh? You made a mistake. There is only one little sister in my family. Where did the two sisters come from?" Cong Duo felt strange.

"Oh?! Obviously they came from your house. The two eldest daughters are so tall. They are about fourteen or fifteen years old. They are quite clean and handsome. After taking flowers, I saw them coming from your house. We went in through the gate!" The peddler said with certainty.

Listening to Cong Duo arguing with the peddler at the door, Bao Yixian also came out to have a look, wanting to know what was going on.

When the peddler saw Bao Yixian, he stared at her and said: "Ang, your daughter took my two pairs of flowers and won't pay me now. I don't think you are a rich family, you won't be repaying your bills because of these two coins, right? "

Bao Yixian shook his head, but he had no way to argue, so he could only go back and look for the Fourth Emperor.

From the four emperors to the gate.

At this time, many people gathered at the gate to watch the fun.Everyone chattered and muttered——

"Ang, from the fourth emperor's family, there are really no such two big girls as he said!"

"Oh?! Is this peddler delusional?"

"Hmm—from the family, do you also renege on your debts?"

……

Seeing this scene from the Four Emperors, I was also very puzzled, but on second thought, one thing more is worse than one thing less, so give them two coins and send him away.

Just as the Four Emperors were about to speak, Lai Jiehao appeared.

Xi Niehao jumped onto the horse-mounting stone at the gate of Cong's courtyard, and said, "Ah, everyone, everyone! Fellow folks! Be quiet, be quiet! Listen to me. We are from the Fourth Emperor's house, who doesn't know, There are no fourteen or fifteen-year-old daughters in the family, and it is impossible to take his flowers, let alone refuse to pay! Right! The thorny (bad) thing, we are also from the Fourth Emperor. Impossible! Isn’t it, from the Fourth Emperor.” Lai Jiehao glanced at the Fourth Emperor and nodded.

His Majesty the Four Emperors also nodded.

Lai Jiehao continued: "This is related to the reputation of the four emperors, and it is also related to the reputation of our camp. As the leader of the armor, I came up with a solution (method) to let this peddler enter the courtyard to have a look. Search for yourself to see if we are telling the truth. Let's talk, okay?"

"Oh, that's right, go in and have a look! Let him go find those two big girls by himself!"

"Chief Jia is right, we are not afraid of the shadow crooked from the top of the Fourth Emperor!"

……

When Lai Jiehao made a noise, everyone didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, so they surrounded the hawkers and entered the courtyard together.

Everyone looked at the front room and the back room, and at the wing room and the kitchen.

There are only two women in the huge courtyard: one is Bao Yixian and the other is Cong Suhua.

The peddler looked at the two and said it wasn't the two girls.

Afterwards, the peddler observed as he walked, and looked all over the corners of the courtyard, but he didn't find the two very handsome fourteen-year-old girls.

"Oh, my family never does such sneaky things!"

"Yeah, such a big family business, people rely on your two coins?"

Everyone murmured, but the peddler was still unwilling. He looked up at the blockhouses at the four corners of the yard, climbed up, looked around, and suddenly found two broom Gadas that had not been used for many years in one corner. The pair of flowers are actually stuck on the broom.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

What's going on?Could it be that the broom rattled up to perfection?Everyone was in a mess, and they gathered around to watch.

When the peddler saw it, he yelled in horror: "Oh?! Goblin, goblin!"

His Majesty the Four Emperors, Lai Naihao and others also looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do.

"Wuliang Tianzun!" At this time, a man dressed like a Taoist suddenly appeared at the door, holding a whisk and shouting, "Beast! I finally found you!"

I saw the Taoist jogging all the way up the blockhouse, pushed aside the crowd, came to the front, tied the two broomsticks together with a red string, turned around and said, "Ang, who is the master?"

The four emperors hurried forward and agreed.

"Ask someone to bring a bowl of cold water!" said the Taoist.

After a while, Bao Yixian came up with a bowl of cold water.

The Taoist took the cold water, sprinkled it on the broom, groped around his waist for a while, and took out a piece of yellow paper, which seemed to have a talisman drawn on it.

The Taoist glued the yellow paper on the broom and muttered something: "The sky is full of thunder, and the thunderbolt shakes the sky. There are 13 swordsmen and soldiers, and they are strictly controlled by this talisman. If there is any disobedience, strict orders will never be obeyed."

Saying that, he took out the peach wood sword, and pierced through two broomsticks with one sword, like piercing candied haws.

The Taoist continued to read: "Take it to the Kui Gang, and turn it into a clean wind. Be as urgent as a law."

The Taoist held the "candied haws" and walked around in front of the crowd.

At this time, everyone saw that the place where the mahogany sword passed through was gradually oozing red.

"Om?! Blood? Bleeding? Bleeding?"

"Ah?! You've really become a genius!"

……

Some of the timid ones ran down the blockhouse, while the bold ones continued to watch.

The Taoist asked Bao Yixian to pile some dry firewood on the open space in the yard and light it.

He picked up the broom Gada with a mahogany sword and threw them into the fire.

He still read in his mouth: "Li Hei Lie Yan, No. Hei Spraying Cloud. Kyushu Society Order, Dabu Fire Wheel."

Under the burning of dry firewood, the two brooms turned to ashes in a short while.

At this time, the sun has also set, and the sky is getting dark, and the sporadic sparks are like small eyes, blinking and blinking.

The Taoist took some ashes, turned and went out, without responding to the thanks from the Four Emperors.

After the Taoist left, everyone looked for the peddler again, but he had already disappeared, maybe they were scared away.

The story of becoming a master from a broom in the family compound quickly spread throughout Daxigouchuan, and even some well-informed people in the Liangchufu of Chilechuan also told this anecdote.

Some people say that the rattling of the broom came from the time when the emperor, when a housekeeper was sweeping the floor, accidentally broke his middle finger and bled a lot.

The middle finger blood was smeared on the broom, and after a long period of time, it absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, cultivated aura, became a spirit, and was able to transform into two big daughters to deceive the flower seller's hair.

Fortunately, a world-class expert passed by, took the goblin's soul, and took it away.
