Splendid Pastoral: Space farmers are good for farming

Chapter 160

The gate of the city was sealed for three days, but shopkeeper Qu was still not caught. People inside and outside the city complained endlessly, and those who were in a hurry to go to the funeral went directly to the government. Ma Xingren had no choice but to open the gate of the city, but he sent a team The soldiers strictly interrogated at the gate of the city, saying that they could not let shopkeeper Qu escape.

Hearing that the city gate was opened, Huajiao worriedly said to Jigeng; "Third sister, I wonder if we should go back. We have been out for four days. Grandma, eldest sister and second sister must be worried."

Kikyo said: "Yes, so I plan to let you go back and report to them that you are safe."

"how about you?"

"Of course I will stay here, the shop is newly opened, and there are still many things that have not been dealt with, and I have to wait for news from the government to see if I can catch Shopkeeper Qu."

Huajiao said helplessly: "Okay then, I'll go back first, otherwise maybe the eldest sister will let the eldest brother-in-law find it again!"

That afternoon, Huajiao left Linzhao County and returned to Shibantun.

It is much more convenient to leave Kikyo here alone.She didn't wait until night to come to the hut where Li Sheng and shopkeeper Qu were staying to check.Shopkeeper Qu is still hiding in the house, Li Sheng is still working in the medicine store, and now even the clerk in the medicine store doesn't know that shopkeeper Qu is still with Li Sheng.

Kikyo was afraid that shopkeeper Qu would leave at any time after hearing that the city gate was opened, so she didn't dare to leave and stood guard near the hut.

In the evening, when Li Sheng came back from the medicine shop and went into the house, the two were arguing quietly again.

Kikyo hid by the window and eavesdropped, only to hear Li Sheng talking inside: "I said shopkeeper Qu, you have been hiding here for three or four days, and now the city gate is open, you don't have to leave early, you Stay here all day long, let alone the government, even if the landlord and neighbors find out, they will sue the government, and you won’t be able to leave even if you want to!”

Shopkeeper Qu said: "Do you think I don't want to leave? Today I heard that the gate of the city was opened, so I went to see it. There were fifty or sixty soldiers at the gate of the city. The one who searched carefully had a portrait on his face. The dirty things have to be washed out, do you think I can go out?"

Li Sheng said anxiously: "Why do you have to leave in the open, why don't you hide in some kind of car!"

Shopkeeper Qu was annoyed: "What car should I hide? I don't have a car to hide! Among the people I know, only Jitong Medicine Store often travels by car, but now the medicine store can't hide from me, how can it help me!"

Li Sheng was also angry, and shouted under his breath: "You are a brain! Why do you have to tell others that you can find a convoy out of the city and sneak in by yourself!"

"You fucking fart, how can you prepare such a good convoy for me! Do you just hope that I will be picked up by the officers and soldiers and chopped to death at the gate of the city, so you can rest assured!"

"You're the one who's farting! You've been hiding here for so many days, why don't I serve you like my own father! It's wrong to help you find a way now! My mother's kindness Feed the dog!"

"Whoever you call a dog, who you call a dog! Let me tell you, Li, don't think that you will be fine if you drive me away. If I get angry, I will go directly to the government to surrender, and say that hiring bandits to kill Qiao Jijie is a crime." You pushed me to do it, and then you won't be able to eat and just walk around!" Shopkeeper Qu was already in agitated mood after being trapped for these days, but now that Li Sheng forced him like this, he roared angrily.

Li Sheng was threatened by him so that his little eyebrows raised, he gritted his teeth and stared at him. After a long time, he suppressed his anger and said, "Okay, don't make a noise! ​​I'm not going to drive you away, what are you doing so loudly? Don't be afraid." Bring in the officials!"

Boss Qu stopped yelling when he saw that he was submissive.

Li Sheng was worried that his neighbors would hear him, so he went outside to have a look.

Kikyo hid in the space when he heard the sound of him pushing the door, and came out again after he finished watching, continuing to eavesdrop.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to the movement in the house, Li Sheng went back inside again, and patiently said to Shopkeeper Qu: "Forget it, forget it, if you don't dare to leave, you can stay here first, and you can think of a way another day, and you can go out eventually. You stay at home first, I'll go out and get something to eat, let's have a drink or two, and forget about those annoying things."

After speaking, he got up and left the house, and walked down the street.

Kikyo hid in the dark and watched, seeing this guy's face was livid, thinking to himself that this guy would be so kind?Being threatened by shopkeeper Qu like this, how can you still buy him food?Could it be some trick!

After thinking about it, he followed behind.

I saw Li Sheng mumbling and cursing after he came out, and instead of going directly to buy food, he went into Jitong Medicine Store through the back door.

The clerk in the pharmacy was a little surprised to see him come back, and asked, "Li Sheng? Didn't you all go back? Why are you here again?"

Li Sheng hesitated and said: "Oh, I left something in the store, go back and pick it up."

The guy believed it and let him pass.

Li Sheng entered the drug store, searched here and there, pretending to be looking for his things, and after a while, seeing that there was no one in the store, he opened the drug drawer and quickly got out a little arsenic.

He seemed to be doing it carefully and was not seen by anyone, but Kikyo, who followed from the space, flashed out twice in the dark and saw his actions.

Although he couldn't see clearly from a distance, Kikyo knew that what he was taking was definitely not an ordinary medicine, and thought to himself, it seemed that this guy was going to make a big fuss, but if he killed Shopkeeper Qu with the medicine, what would he do with the corpse?You can't just throw it out, right?
While thinking about it, she followed Li Sheng who got the medicine out of the medicine store, and saw that Li Sheng bought another stewed duck, some side dishes and two small jars of shochu at the stewed shop on the corner of the street, and then went back to the small rented place. hospital.

Kikyo followed the yard again, hiding in the corner and listening to the movement in the house.

Li Sheng was not at home, shopkeeper Qu didn't dare to light the lamp, he didn't light the candle until Li Sheng came back.Looking at the pile of things that Li Sheng brought back, he was also a little strange, and asked, "Why are you so generous all of a sudden? Are you willing to buy these for me?"

At this time, Li Sheng's expression had recovered early, and he said with a smile: "I didn't pay you any money a few days ago, how can I have money to buy it for you, I just got paid today."

Shopkeeper Qu was still skeptical, and said, "It seems like you haven't been here for a month since you came to Jitong Medicine Store? Is this the starting salary for you?"

Li Sheng said: "You are also an old man in Jitong Medicine Store. Why do you ask such a stupid question? The whole medicine store is paying wages today. How can you pick me out alone? There will always be wages in a month's time, right?" .”

"Oh." Only then did shopkeeper Qu realize that such a rule is indeed true in the county.

So he sat down at the table.

Li Sheng put the dishes on the table, poured out the wine, and the two of them each had a glass.

Shopkeeper Qu had just finished arguing with Li Sheng, and he knew that if he asked again and again, he had doubts about Li Sheng, so he sat there and watched the food and drinks without touching it.
