The daily life of a charming girl who made a fortune in ancient times

Chapter 49 Sleeping in the same bed
After Shen Shangzhi settled down, Fang asked Ma Sanshu in a low voice, "Did Dafu come back with you?"

Ma Sanshu chuckled, "He and Gao Sanhu still have something to do, and he will be back soon."

Something?

Seeing Uncle Ma smiling like an old fox, Lin Ruyu rolled her eyes and said in a low voice, "The jar on the water was thrown by Uncle?"

Uncle Ma smiled even bigger, "The name Dafu is really not for nothing! I didn't believe it when he said he was looking for salt when he went out, but I didn't expect him to find a wicker box floating over the water. There were eight altars in it." The fermented bean curd, because it was lined with straw, didn’t break any jars! I brought back a jar and hid the rest, and when I went up the mountain to enter the temple, Dafu and Gao Sanhu threw it into the water.”

Thinking of the scene at that time, Ma Sanshu exclaimed twice before continuing, "I thought I would bring back four cans and share one point for each courtyard, and keep the remaining four cans properly hidden. But I saw Ma Er blind man from a distance. I came up with the idea to help people paddle ashore with a plank.”

"Third uncle is still smart!" Lin Ruyu stretched out both thumbs in her heart and gave Ma Sanshu two big praises.

This idea is very good.Because it is summer now, after the flood, there are delicacies and wild game on the mountain, but there is no substitute for the salt that is indispensable to the human body.

Everyone wants to live.The dozens of people who lived in the Guanyin Temple were afraid and tolerant because of the notoriety of Maer Blind, but they would definitely not give up the six cans of fermented bean curd to Maer Blind.Most of the people who survived the flood were young and middle-aged people. As long as dozens of people huddled together, Ma Er's group of blind men would not be enough to prove it.

The development of the matter was exactly as Ma Sanshu expected.After two sticks of incense, Gao Sanhu ran back to the temple with Dafu, gloated and told everyone, "Six altars of bean curd were picked up and five altars were picked up. Ma Er blind man is used to domineering, so he robbed one jar when he went down. The people in the temple fought with them, and finally someone came forward to join forces, and each side got two altars."

Zhao Lu felt distressed, "The altar that floated away could save lives no matter who picked it up, why did you break the altar?"

"So everyone is annoyed," Gao Sanhu said, "But the ones that were broken and could be put away were also taken back."

This morning, the smell of fermented bean curd was wafting everywhere in the Guanyin Temple. The people in the East and West Second Courtyard and the main hall were eating to their hearts content, laughing and laughing, but the backyard was quiet. No one dared to speak loudly, for fear of offending the blind Ma Er and beating him up .

Dip the snatched fermented bean curd into the snatched raw bamboo shoots to fill his stomach, and the anger of the blind man Ma Er still can't go away.

After the flood, Ma Er blind man and his men hid on the second floor of the gambling house. The water level rose and the second floor was flooded. They had to climb to the roof and hid for a day in fear. They were hungry and thirsty and held a wooden mallard to watch the fire. They robbed the food of the people inside and endured for another two days. Finally, it was sunny this morning, and then they carried the planks and floated a few miles to the Guanyin Temple.

This temple has long been his favorite!
If it wasn't for a few brothers who were washed away by the flood, how could he lose face one after another!

"Second brother—" Fatty He rushed in from the outside,

"If you keep making such a fucking noise, I'll cut off your tongue right away!" The blind Ma Er, who was getting angry, picked up the rough porcelain bowl on the table and smashed it at it.

"Crack!" The porcelain bowl bounced off Fatty He's shoulder and fell to the ground into several pieces.

He Sanpang didn't hurt, but he was so frightened that he shrank his neck and dared not make a sound.

After a long while, the blind man Ma Er ordered in a dark voice, "Say!"

"Yes." He Sanpang lowered his voice and said politely, "I found out, apart from the people from Wantou Village and Zhaojiawan in the East Courtyard, the two bodyguards from the Heshun Bodyguard Bureau, and two women, Two children, one fool. That little girl has a large birthmark on her right eye, just like the girl who went to Taojiazhuang the day before the flood. This little girl rescued a girl and a five- or six-year-old child from Taojiazhuang. , and took them to the pharmacy in Laozhuangtou to get medicine and see a doctor."

Ma Wang, who was standing next to the blind man Ma Er, took up the conversation, "The person behind Taojiazhuang is Hu Dingcun, the owner of Siman pawnshop in Qixian County. The village head of Hao Lianzhai didn’t even dare to let go. What does this mean? It means that the backing of the people in the East Courtyard is stronger than that of Dong County Magistrate.”

"Relying on the mountain? Humph." Blind Ma Er snorted, staring at the dome on the roof of the Guanyin Hall with dark eyes, "I'm afraid he's a ghost! The guy and the money were all snatched, and the matter was set on fire!"

After nightfall, little Aheng, who had practiced the stick all day, slept soundly on the bed in the east wing.After Zhao Lu's six people lived in the east courtyard, little Aheng moved to the wing room to live with his mother and sister, and the rest of the people crowded the kitchen and the main room to the brim.

Guessing that Ma Er's blind man will come to look for trouble tonight, although Fang and Lin Ruyu are lying on the bed, they can't sleep well. If there is any movement in the courtyard, they will open their eyes and look at the window of the east wing.

After an unknown amount of time, Fang yawned and said in a low voice, "Jiaojiao, go to sleep, I still have work to do tomorrow."

"Okay, mother will sleep too." Lin Ruyu replied, and looked at the window again.

Mr. Shen speculated that the blind man in the backyard would send people to visit the east courtyard at night, and the people sent would come down from the roof in the middle of the night.

Therefore, the focus of defense tonight is in the second half of the night, when people sleep most soundly and night watchmen are most sleepy and tired. They will not be able to last until then.

As the stars turned and the stars moved, in the middle of the night, the Guanyin Temple was completely silent, only the rushing water and the sound of frogs remained in the world.

"Crack."

There was a slight sound of the roof tiles coming through, Shen Shangzhi and Shen Ge opened their eyes at the same time, looking towards the roof.

Hearing that the sound of the tiles was on the roof of Dongli Room, Shen Shang pressed his bow on Shen Ge who raised his sword, and motioned him to open the window.Shen Ge raised his sword, stepped forward and opened the window silently, and when he came back, he supported Shen Shang to sit upright on the bed and stared out of the window.

Soon, a leg hung down from the roof, looking like it was about to jump onto the east wall.Before his other leg came down, Shen Shang raised his hand and bent his bow, and shot a bamboo arrow with a "swish", hitting the master's calf.

"Ow—"

"Snapped!"

"who?!"

The person in the room screamed, trampled down a tile on the roof, and disturbed Ma Sanshu who was on duty at night in the courtyard. Ma Sanshu yelled and led the people to rush out of the window in the east room.In the east wing, Fang Shi and Lin Ruyu were also awakened, and stood up with sticks.

Not long after, Uncle Ma came out of the window of the East Wing, and said in a low voice, "Did sister-in-law wake up? It's all right, sister-in-law, sleep peacefully."

"Thank you, Third Uncle." Mrs. Fang responded softly, lay back on the bed with her daughter, and said in a low voice, "Old Master Shen is right, go to sleep Jiaojiao."

In the east room of the north courtyard, Shen Ge looked at Shen Shangzhi with burning eyes, and his admiration was beyond words.

Shen Shang smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "I'll be fine tonight, if you want to ask anything, just lie down and let me talk slowly."

Tonight, Shen Shangzhi and Shen Ge slept on the same bed.
