Poor family mother and son

Chapter 369 Dry Well Alley

Fortunately, it was almost noon now, and there were many people on the street. Zhao Qi and Qiao Wanqi followed all the way without attracting anyone's attention.

Qiao Wanqi watched the road become more and more familiar, and turned all the way into Nancheng. He had been here yesterday.

Zhao Qi wanted to follow, but Qiao Wanqi grabbed him and said, "Don't startle the snake!"

Zhao Qi waved her hand: "It's okay, there are many people now, and my family lives in that alley!"

Qiao Wanqi opened his mouth wide in surprise: "Your home?"

Before Zhao Qi could reply, the beggar had already carried Wu Shirong into the alley's second-to-last door.

This is where those two men dressed as beggars came out yesterday!

Zhao Qi was surprised that they would enter that door: "That's the back door of the former Salesian Pharmacy!"

Qiao Wanqi watched anxiously, and hurriedly said to Zhao Qi: "Go back and call for someone, it will take three or four, I'll go and watch first!" Then he jumped on the wall.

Zhao Qi grabbed him and said, "Go back and call someone, and call my brother too, just say go home."

With that said, Zhao Qi entered the first door at the entrance of the alley.

Qiao Wanqi hurried back to find someone, and couldn't help sighing.

He came to the capital with his parents when he was very young. At first, he could only rent a house in the suburbs. In less than two years, his father bought a small courtyard in a not-so-good location in the west city.

However, since he was a child, he rarely had the opportunity to go out of the yard to play, and he was not familiar with the roads in the capital.

The Blue House is in the west city, and he has no sense of familiarity with the vicinity, let alone the place where he lived back then.

Fortunately, he still remembered how to get back to Blue House, so he quickened his pace.

After Zhao Qi entered the yard, she walked straight to the front yard.

The doors in this alley are all the back doors of the courtyards.Zhao Qi entered the courtyard through the back door, and further inside, there was an abandoned well.

After removing the large stone slab on the abandoned well, Zhao Qi jumped down.

***********
Blue House.

"You entered Ganjing Hutong?" Zhao Rui asked in surprise when Qiao Wanqi said that it was next to his house, "Isn't that the back door of the pharmacy?"

Qiao Wanqi didn't care about that, and urged to find some people quickly.

Zhao Rui looked at Bai Jiaxing, Bai Jiaxing asked him to take Chu Yuan and Xiao Sining to follow, Gan Lai also followed.

On the way, Zhao Rui saw that Qiao Wanqi was anxious, so he comforted him: "You don't have to worry, since my brother is there, you can know what they are doing."

Chu Yuan didn't understand, so Zhao Rui explained: "Beside Ganjing Hutong is the abandoned children's Hutong. I heard that when the Salesian Bureau was established, wells were drilled in the Salesian Bureau for the convenience of getting water;
Wells had to be drilled even in the pharmacy courtyard for the Salesian Bureau;

Because it was a well-drilling team hired by the government, it didn’t cost money to dig a well. At that time, the residents next to the Salesian Bureau also asked to dig a well in order to take advantage of it.
The government agreed, but the well drilling team refused. They said that the Salesian Bureau belonged to the imperial court, and they made a contribution to the imperial court by digging wells. What happened to these people taking advantage of it?

As a result, the family said that they lived right next to the Salesian Bureau. If there was anything wrong with the Salesian Bureau, the neighbors should help take care of it?

In case of a fire or something, one more well can save many children. The government thought it was right, so they ordered the well-drilling team to dig a well for their family;
The well-drilling team was very angry. The family obviously took advantage of it, but the people in the government didn't have to pay anyway, and they talked generously. In the end, the only ones who lost money were the well-drilling team;

The well-drilling team naturally felt disgusted, so they dug a well for this family first;

But who is the well drilling team?Why dig a well for his house first?It's just for disgusting people!The well that was drilled for his family was a shallow well, and the family was very happy when the water came out;

But the Pharmacy Bureau and the Salesian Bureau drilled deep water wells. As a result, within a month, the Pharmacy Bureau and the Salesian Bureau had no problem with water, and the well of that family was dry! "

There is such a story about drilling wells, Chu Yuan and the others think it is very fresh.

Zhao Rui went on to say: "The family wanted to find a well-drilling team to rework, but they couldn't find it. They found another well-drilling team. They said that the wall of the well was only half-built with bricks, and the bottom of the well was full of sand. The family refused to pay for washing the well, and the well was abandoned afterwards;
Later, the Salesian Bureau was infected with an epidemic, and many children died. The surrounding residents felt that it was unlucky and moved out one after another;

The family also wanted to move out, but the house could not be sold because there was a well, and the water at the bottom of the well was connected. Who knew if it was dirty or not, after all, the neighbors were all infected and died;
Later, the family sold the house at a loss and moved away. It has been decades, and the house in that area can only be rented, and no one buys it;

In fact, even renting out can’t be rented out. They are afraid of bad luck, and even beggars are reluctant to enter the hospital;

These wells were all filled in later, for fear that the well water would be dirty. Since then, the alley at the back door of the Salesian Bureau has been called "Ganjing Alley";

Our two brothers rented this yard because the price was cheap. Anyway, we are just two big men, and we are not afraid of bad luck or bad luck, as long as it is cheap;

But we found that the well seemed to have been dug and filled.The two of us were curious, so we dug it up and found that the soil was not difficult to dig. After digging, we dug to the pharmacy next door.

My brother must have drilled through that well, don't worry, I can see it. "

Several people were dressed in short clothes similar to those of coolies on the street. They were very inconspicuous. They took a short cut and walked through the alleys, and soon arrived at "Ganjing Alley".

Zhao Rui waited for everyone to enter the yard, then locked the door and led them to the abandoned well.

Seeing the stone slab next to the mouth of the well, everyone knew that Zhao Qi really went down from here.

Several people also jumped down the abandoned well, and crawled along the tunnel that was only big enough for one person to pass through. Zhao Rui led the way, and the exit was next to the abandoned well of the pharmacy, which happened to be at the corner.

At this time, Zhao Qi was lying on the roof of the pharmacy, feeling that the sole of her shoe had been touched. Looking back, she saw that it was Zhao Rui, and motioned him to go back quickly, looking a little nervous.

Zhao Rui didn't know why, but his younger brother had warned the police, so he went back to the tunnel and waited.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Qi also entered the tunnel, pulled a few pieces of waste wood on the ground to cover the tunnel entrance, and drove everyone back to her home.

This is also called home?There is dust everywhere, and it looks like it has been inhabited for a long time.

Everyone got into the tunnel for nothing, and they were all covered in dirt, but they didn't have time to slap, because Zhao Qi said in a hurry: "Fortunately, you didn't make any noise!"

The people didn't understand, so Zhao Qi said: "There are a lot of people ambushing in the two rooms on the left and right. They are all dressed as beggars, but they are all Lianjiazi!"

This news surprised everyone.

Zhao Qi said again: "I saw that beggar Huazi and Wu entered the main room, so I climbed to the roof to peek and saw a well-dressed man sitting inside, and the beggar went in and threw Wu on the roof. ground;
Then the two men beat up Wu, and Wu pulled out the wooden hairpin from his head and handed it to them;

One end of the wooden hairpin was alive and could be unscrewed, and there were thin copper strips inside, but the two men beat him again, asking where the other one was;

The man surnamed Wu was about to be beaten out of shit, and said that there was only one, and the two discussed whether it might have been stolen;

Then the decent man asked the beggar to go out and find someone to lie in ambush, saying to see who would come here to open the box and kill him when the time came.

After the beggar went out for a while, many people followed, about twenty or so, into the east and west rooms;

Just now I saw that respectable man take a woman's hairpin and poke it around a box in the corner of the room, and then say 'no use'. "
