Chapter 38 Deaf and Mute
afternoon.

As soon as Kong Konger left and went to Tang Tianrong to show off his Rubik's Cube skills, the person Xiao Keji said arrived.

Xiao Su, Shen Yi, and Sun Chong all saw that person, and their first impression was that he was ugly, very ugly!
He is in his 40s, with an unkempt beard, sparse hair, scars all over his face, a limp right leg, a missing left ear, and a broken tongue. Not only is he ugly, but he is also deaf and mute. He has a simple face and looks like a beggar.

At first glance, Xiao Su thought he was here to cheat people with food and drinks in the name of applying for a job.

Xiao Su and Shen Yi are both kind-hearted and give out porridge every year. If they really couldn't survive, they wouldn't go without food. When Sun Chong was seriously injured, Xiao Su provided food and drink for him without any complaints, but he didn't like hanging sheep. People who sell dog meat are poor just because they are poor, and those who are in trouble are in trouble. Why bother cheating on food and drink in the name of applying for a job?This is a matter of character.

Just as Xiao Su was about to speak, he saw the deaf-mute man take out a steel awl from his sleeve and carve it on the ground: "Ma Wuji, pay my respects to the master, madam."

The calligraphy is made of iron and painted with silver hooks, and the writing is vigorous and powerful, like a spear and a halberd, with majestic momentum.

Everyone was taken aback.

This is not what a beggar can write, nor is it the aura that a "servant" should have.

Xiao Su frowned and said: "Your Excellency must have an extraordinary background. Why do you want to come to my door? Zhenyuan is just a small business, and I'm afraid that the temple is too small to accommodate the big Buddha."

At first I thought he was a beggar, so I didn't take a closer look. Then I took a closer look and found that he was breathing steadily, and his hands were covered with calluses. He was either practicing with a gun or with a stick. When he tested his innate three-level internal strength, the opponent didn't even move. Sound and appearance, his skill is only high but not low!

But the strange thing is that he has a humble attitude and a sincere look from beginning to end.

Strange...

Ma Wuji knew lip reading, and could tell what Xiao Su was talking about when he saw what he was saying, and he slowly carved out: "Donghai Penglai, secretly learned martial arts, broke his legs and cut out his tongue, and was kicked out of the house. He survived the catastrophe and is willing to be a bodyguard." If you are accepted, tie a grass ring around it."

"This……"

Xiao Su hesitated, and his intuition told him that it was not that simple. The other party was quite capable. If he just wanted a place to live and a job, and there were many places vying to take him in, why did he have to go to Zhenyuan?

He turned to Shen Yi: "Madam, what do you think?"

"It's not like it's fake."

Shen Yi mused: "If you just want a place to stay, it's very simple. Since he clearly said that he was an abandoned disciple of Penglai Island and learned martial arts secretly, it should be the truth. Since Penglai Island had his legs cut off, his tongue cut off, The punishment of being kicked out of the house is not a hidden danger anymore. Maybe, we can try it... My son has been restless recently and repeatedly asked not to leave the escort agency, just because he is worried about us. At this time, a master comes into the house, and maybe he can be pacified. Heart."

"Um……"

Xiao Su nodded, he was afraid that he would lead the wolf into the house.

"coming?"

At this moment, Xiao Jingxing walked out of the backyard wearing a white robe. He looked like he had not woken up, with his hair disheveled and a lazy expression. He looked at Ma Wuji who was squatting on the ground waiting for his resignation, and said: "Call Ma Wuji, right? I’ll call you Lao Ma from now on. Do you know sign language?”

Ma Wuji looked at Xiao Jingxing, smiled gently, showed his yellow teeth, and stretched out his hand to sign: [Understood. 】

"That's easy."

Xiao Jingxing used both hands and told him in sign language: "Don't be formal, come with me, change clothes, take a shower, stay in the house from now on, protect my parents, Xiao Jingxing is very grateful." 】

Ma Wuji hurriedly returned the gesture: [My little master’s words are serious. Ma Wuji has been favored by his master for reincarnation. Since he has received the order, he will naturally do his best. 】

Jamel Xiao nodded and waved his hand: "Follow me."

Ma Wuji saluted respectfully to Xiao Su and Shen Yi, then limped and followed him inside cautiously.

"Hey! This brat is getting more and more unscrupulous. What was he gesticulating just now?"

Xiao Su didn't understand, and the person with fast hands had an afterimage.

"Don't you understand? There is a little secret, which really makes my mother sad."

Shen Yi sighed deliberately and made a sad expression.

Xiao Jingxing shouted at the top of his lungs: "Mom, I want to drink bone soup."

Shen Yi immediately stopped being angry and sighed: "Mom, I'll cook it for you right now!"

She quickly walked to the kitchen, leaving Xiao Su standing there stupidly, staring at Sun Chong and Boss Wu.

"This kid..."

Xiao Su went back to his room angrily, I'd better go practice boxing!

Sun Chong and Mr. Wu looked at each other and smiled.

Mr. Wu smiled and said: "The escort agency is getting more and more lively."

Sun Chong nodded: "Yes."

……

The next day is the fifth day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival.

This day is very lively. Every year on this day, the "Dragon Boat Race" is held on the Jinjiang River, the mother river of Quanzhou.

The lottery is the bonus given by several major gangs. Occasionally, Prince Kang's Mansion will join in the fun and put some precious gold and jade utensils as gifts.

There were many people participating in the event, including Jianghu gangs like the Haisha Gang and the Yulong Gang, local sects like the Ziji Palace and the Jindaomen, and fleets owned by large merchants in Quanzhou, etc.

There were many onlookers, including prostitutes from Jinfeng Tower, gamblers from Happy Forest, children from aristocratic families, ordinary people, and even foreigners who had traveled across the ocean, some with blond hair, blue eyes, or sallow skin.

If there are too many people, chaos may occur during the viewing, and the government will step in to maintain order.

The more than 200 Japanese bandits have not yet been arrested, but they have been reduced to pieces, and the threat has been greatly reduced. Moreover, the existence of bandits is unknown to the people. Banning their activities will also cause panic. Goldman Sachs ordered the outside to loosen up and the inside to tighten. The officers and soldiers of Qianhu Station were ordered to wear civilian clothes and mingle with the crowd to be on guard against thieves and thieves.early morning.

At the dinner table, the family was eating rice dumplings. Xiao Jingxing coughed: "I have to go to the river."

Xiao Su: "..."

Shen Yi: "..."

Shen Daoxiu: "..."

"son."

Xiao Su put down his chopsticks and said expressionlessly: "Is it because you said it is dangerous outside and the thief has not been eliminated?"

"Yes."

"Are you saying that they are armed with Tang Sect's muskets and heavy artillery, and they will be injured if they are not careful?"

"Yes."

"Then what are you doing?"

Xiao Su said helplessly: "You know that there are tigers in the mountains, but you prefer to go to the tiger mountains? There have been so many dragon boat races in the past few years. Last year, even the Jinfenglou Courtesan... Don't glare at me, just tell him this. You None went.

It's so dangerous this year, why do you want to go suddenly?Don't tell me what to say to lure the snake out of its hole. There are so many masters in the government, is it your turn?Are they all living on dry food?No, you just stay home today! "

Shen Yi then withdrew her gaze and looked at Xiao Jingxing tenderly: "Your father is right, there are so many high-ranking officials, so many officers and soldiers, it's not your turn to take risks, it's really your turn to take risks, there are so many more of them Incompetent! Be obedient, let’s not get involved, just stay at home and wait for the limelight to pass.”

Although Shen Daoxiu said nothing, his face was full of disapproval.

Xiao Jingxing smiled, dipped his hand in wine and wrote a line on the table, and said at the same time: "I don't want to go, remember what I said, Tang Tianrong, the young master of the Tang family who came back from Tianyue Mountain and rescued him, brought On the surface, the Xishu Escort Bureau was to escort 8 taels of silver to the Tonghe Bank Head Office and seal it in the warehouse. In fact, there were still two important treasures that were secretly escorted to Prince Kang's Mansion. Now that they were robbed by thieves, Prince Kang would of course have to explain. Tangmen told him After passing this matter, this time you want to ask me to verify it. After all, I am the only one who has seen the crime scene... Mr. Tianhuang wants to see me, and I cannot tolerate my disagreement."

"..."

The three of them looked at the writing on the table. They didn't say much this time, but they were still worried.

Xiao Jingxing added: "Ask Lao Ma to come with me."

Xiao Su solemnly said: "Do you trust him so much?"

Xiao Jingxing said seriously: "Yes."

"He came from the wrong side."

"I know."

"He just entered the house."

"I know."

"then you……"

"Someone asked him to come, and I believe the person behind him."

"Knew it."

Xiao Su suddenly realized that something was wrong yesterday. Xiao Su himself had a criminal record and had made mistakes, but his son was very cautious. Logically speaking, he would only be more suspicious, but yesterday he directly introduced people into the house and specially communicated with them in sign language. The purpose was Concealing others' eyes and ears - Looking at the writing on the table, this person's arrival should be part of their plan.

That's more or less.

"You guys eat slowly and I'll be back after I reply. By the way, Dad, I'll lend you your gun."

"Be careful."

Xiao Su stretched out his hand and took the big black gun standing beside the bed and handed it to Xiao Jingxing.

This gun is the seventh-grade treasured gun [Zhongyue] that Shen Qianqiu relied on to gain fame in the past. Although it is the same seventh-grade weapon as Shen Daoxiu's [Qingmei], this gun is made of black iron and weighs 64 kilograms. It can't even be picked up, which is more suitable for the fierce style of "Overlord Soul Chasing Gun".

"don’t worry."

Xiao Jingxing looked back at Shen Daoxiu, leaned over and kissed her on the face: "I'll be back soon."

Shen Daoxiu suddenly became familiar, her face was as red as an apple, and she couldn't hold her chopsticks steady.

There are also foster parents here!

Xiao Su and Shen Yi didn't care. They were very happy when they saw this scene, smiling kindly.

Xiao Jingxing picked up the gun and walked out of the room, throwing it to Ma Wuji, who was guarding the door: "Let's go."

Ma Wuji took it and followed him step by step, like an old slave who worked hard and never complained.

The two of them walked out of the gate, and the carriage was ready. Xiao Jingxing got on, and the old horse took the reins and sat on the shaft.

A dark shadow flashed across the creek in front of the door.

Ma Wuji, the driver, looked as usual.

Xiao Jingxing’s lips curled up slightly in the car.

There are always fools who think that they are unaware of ghosts and ghosts. Today I will teach you a lesson you will never forget!
