Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 465 Escape ([-])
Just like that, seeing Yacheng approaching, the three of them still didn't find the slightest chance.

Seeing that they were a little discouraged, the little dog couldn't help whispering in their ears, "Don't be discouraged, there must be many people around the stage, jump off, get into the crowd, and then find a place to hide. The Second King of Hades will definitely not be able to catch you."

"Us?" Simba heard the difference in his voice, and asked quickly, "Puppy, won't you run away with us?"

Cheng'er also asked, "Didn't you agree to go together? Do you still want to starve and be beaten here?"

Xiao Gouzi lowered his head and said after a long while, "I'm a juggler, and I'm a juggler in several plays. I can't be on stage with you at the same time. If I run away first, the Second Hades will watch over me very closely, and you won't have a chance." gone."

Simba and Cheng'er frowned at the same time, feeling irritable. The three of them had made an appointment to escape together, but when they suddenly heard that the puppy was going to be left behind, how could they be willing, but as the puppy said, they did We don't have a chance to be on stage together, this problem is really tricky.

Xiao Gouzi grabbed their hands with a smile, and comforted him, "I'm not in good health, I don't have much strength, running away with you will drag you down, and I don't have a home, and I have nowhere to go when I go out, unlike you who have My family is worried about it. Besides, I’ll stay here first, so it’s not like I won’t have a chance to go out. When you find your family members, you can redeem me with money.”

Simba and Cheng'er looked at each other, and they both felt that this was a good idea. As long as they could run out, find food for themselves, and ask the shopkeeper to come forward to buy the puppy back, it would be much safer than running away together. So, their The brows loosened.

While the three of them were talking, the carriage entered the city, turned onto a spacious street, and stopped in front of a cloth shop in the middle of the street. Er Yan Wang went in to exchange greetings with the shopkeeper, and was led away by a young man. After burning a stick of incense, I finally arrived at a small courtyard.

Er Hades sent the boy away, opened the door of the car, let a dozen children out, and cursed at them to quickly move the boxes to salute. Simba and Cheng'er looked around while moving their numb legs and feet to work. The wall of this small courtyard is much shorter than that of Qufeng Garden, so it must be easy to turn it over, maybe they can climb over the wall and run out tonight, without having to wait until tomorrow to take the stage.

It's a pity, they thought of this, and the second King of Hades was not stupid. As soon as they finished moving their things, he locked them in a small room again, and locked the door with a big copper lock, so angry that Simba slapped his hands. His teeth creaked loudly.No way, the only way to go is to escape when he comes to power tomorrow.

There was nothing to say all night, and early in the morning of the second day, the Eryan Wang didn't know whether it was to appease people's hearts or because he was afraid that the children would faint from hunger. In short, they were very kind, and each rewarded two bowls of very thick rice porridge, but Xinba and Cheng'er The joy is broken, and I have enough energy to eat. Of course, it is easier to escape.

In the middle of the street in front of the store, a two-meter-high and two-foot-square platform has been set up, covered with red linoleum, and surrounded by blue coarse cloth. All the people waiting to go on stage changed their costumes and painted their faces underneath.

The play was originally scheduled to start at noon, but before it arrived, many people gathered outside the stage after hearing the news. You must know that such a big play is usually only invited in when the big families celebrate birthdays or hold banquets. Go to the house to perform a few performances.

It is placed on the side of the street like today, everyone can listen to it, and there are definitely not many.Therefore, everyone had a smile on their faces, and praised this cloth shop for its benevolence and generosity. If you want to start a business, you will definitely not hide traitors. If you buy materials in the future, you must come here to have a look.

The owner of the cloth shop walked through the crowd twice, and his face lit up. The thin monkey came to him the day before yesterday, and he thought it was just borrowing a place. Even if it is not good, it is not bad for his shop. You know, this place is really not in vain, my family has really earned a lot of fame, it seems that I will invite a troupe to perform a performance every few months, and the business must be booming.

Simba and Cheng'er both put on fur clothes dyed khaki, with a strip of cloth behind the trousers as a tail, a simple red and white makeup on their faces, and khaki hair on their heads. The cloth towel was pushed away by the second King of Hades and squeezed into a corner under the stage with all the children.

On the other hand, Xiao Gouzi combed a sky-high braid, painted red cheeks, white nose bridge, and changed into a set of bright red clothes, making his appearance festive and funny.

At the end of the time, the little dog and the child who was pedaling the vat were rushed to the stage first, one folded his body and drilled back and forth in the thin wooden barrel, and the other flew up and down on a pottery vat weighing dozens of kilograms, which caused a lot of trouble. The people in the audience applauded continuously.

After they got off the stage, the owner of the cloth shop went up and said a few polite words, and the big show began. Magu offered her birthday, Romance of the Golden Boot, classic jokes, one after another, the female characters on the stage looked coquettish, Xiaosheng was suave, singing or laughing, and everyone in the audience was mesmerized and applauded frequently. Er Yan Wang stood proudly beside the stage, thinking that today's reward must be indispensable, and the corners of his mouth almost grinned to his ears.
At the end of Shenshi, the sun moved westward, and the drama was finally coming to an end. The big scene of Havoc in Heaven began. The young man who played the role of Monkey King had a great fight with two generals in armor on stage, and finally put his hand behind his head Pretending to pluck out a handful of hairs and blowing them into the air, Er Yan Wang immediately drove a group of children onto the stage. The little dog grabbed the hands of Simba and Cheng'er, his eyes were full of reluctance, and he whispered, " You must run out."

Simba and Cheng'er felt sour in their hearts, and they responded in unison, "You wait for us."

Er Hades shouted and urged in front, Simba and Cheng'er quickly ran onto the stage, followed by a group of children, turned somersaults, looked at a gap that fell on the edge of the stage, winked at each other and jumped off the stage , They both went into the crowd.

The common people were delighted to see it, thinking that it was specially arranged by the theater troupe, and some even playfully touched the furs of Simba and Cheng'er.

Er Yan Wang didn't expect that there would be children running away, he was stunned for a long time before he realized it, and shouted at the men who were taking off their makeup under the stage, "Two little bastards have escaped, hurry up and chase after me."

The men quickly dropped the objects in their hands, raised their legs and ran out, following the second king of Hades and chasing into the crowd.The big and small monkeys on the stage and the two generals also stopped, not knowing whether to help catch people or continue the show.

Relying on their small size and nimbleness, Simba and Cheng'er slipped through the crowd without being hindered at all, but Er Yan Wang and the others were squeezed to one side and struggled to move forward. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two boys passed smoothly He escaped and ran desperately towards the end of the street, trying to find a hidden place to hide.

The Second King of Hades shouted and cursed loudly while driving away the people who were watching the excitement. When they finally squeezed out, Simba and Cheng'er had already disappeared.

They chased down the street, searching the neighborhood.

Cheng'er and Simba ran into a dead-end alley in a panic, and when they wanted to go out again, they could already faintly hear the yelling and scolding of the second king of Hades. , Unfortunately, not even a tree around.

When he was anxious, a small ebony door next to him suddenly opened from the inside, and a little girl in a blue floral cotton dress came out with a basket on her shoulders, and suddenly saw two people with painted faces standing in front of her door. , a fake monkey in fur clothes, scared her so much that she was about to turn around and close the door with an ouch, Simba stepped forward and covered her mouth, dragged her into the yard, Cheng'er followed, closed the gate, and bolted it.

The little girl struggled desperately in fear, and Simba whispered in her ear, "Little sister, don't be afraid, there are bad guys chasing us, let us hide for a while, and we will leave."

Cheng'er also quickly said, "Yes, we are not bad people. We were trafficked into the troupe, and we just escaped."

The little girl stared at Cheng'er's painted face for a long while, seeing that there were begging and panic in his eyes, but there was no malice, so she gradually stopped struggling, pointed at Simba's hand covering her mouth, Cheng'er understood, and immediately said, "Simba, let her go."

Simba immediately let go, and the little girl jumped away from the two of them, took a few breaths, gave Simba a hard look, and said, "You want to smother me to death."

Simba scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, saluted and apologized, and said, "I'm sorry, little sister, I was in a hurry just now."

The little girl was about to speak when she heard a middle-aged woman's gentle voice from the main room not far away, "Tweety, who are you talking to, aren't you going to go shopping?"

The little girl named Cui'er stuck out her tongue, and quickly answered loudly, "Mother, our yard is a bit messy, I was just saying that I will come back to clean it up later, you sit in the house, I will go shopping for vegetables, and I will clean up in a while." back."

"Hey, go early and come back early." The middle-aged woman said something, and then fell silent.

Cui'er turned around and saw that Simba and Cheng'er were flustered, so she smiled and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, my mother and I live in my house. My mother's eyes are not good, so she can't see you." Pointing to a small room in the corner of the yard, he said, "That's my family's warehouse. There are two big pottery jars in it. Go in and hide for a while. I'll go shopping for vegetables. I'll take a look for you by the way. Those who chase you go away." Did not leave."

When Cheng'er and Simba heard this, they were relieved. After thanking them again, they really hid in the big pottery vat. Tweety helped cover the wooden lid, and went out again with the basket. Just as they walked to the alley, they met The Eryan Wang and others who were about to enter the alley, Eryan Wang was so angry that his eyes were red. They searched the surrounding two or three streets, and they didn't even see a ghost. After thinking about going back to Qinghe County, they couldn't Confessing to King Lin Yan, he must be beaten and scolded, and his heart became more and more angry, and his heart became ruthless over and over again. If these two little bastards were caught, they would be tortured to the point of death.

He was furious, when he saw Tweety walking out of the alley with a basket, he stopped her and asked, "Little girl, did you see two kids dressed as monkeys running over?"

"Monkey?" Cui'er blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Uncle, why are you looking for monkeys?"

"It's not a monkey, it's a child dressed as a monkey." The Eryan Wang patiently explained, and Cui'er asked again, "Why do you want to dress up as a monkey? Is it singing? Where, where, I want to go too look!"

Er Yan Wang stared angrily, and knew that there was nothing more to ask from the little girl's mouth, so he walked into the alley. He asked angrily, "Why didn't you tell me that this is a dead end?"

Tweety pretended to be angry, and pouted, "You didn't tell me where to sing, so why should I tell you." After speaking, she turned her head and left, making Er Hades jump up and down in anger.

A man persuaded, "Second steward, let's go find those two bastards quickly, they are so conspicuously dressed, they must not be far away."

Er Hades slapped the speaker on the face, and said angrily, "If you don't look for it, what are you doing here!"

The man was beaten, cursing in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, and continued to search the next street.

Cheng'er and Simba hid in the vat for more than half an hour before they finally heard Tweety'er's voice, "Come out, those bad guys are gone."

Cheng'er and Simba climbed out of the vat, rubbed their numb legs, and asked, "Have all those people left, and the stage has been closed?"

Tweety put down the vegetable basket in her hand, and said with a smile, "It's all taken away. I made a detour to see it. There is no one in front of the Buzhuang gate, and they are tearing down the table."

The two of Simba breathed a sigh of relief, Tweety led them out to sit in the yard, then turned around and went into the kitchen. After a while, a bowl of porridge and a plate of fried vegetables were brought into the main room.

When Cheng'er smelled the fragrance, his stomach started to growl. He listened to the conversation between Cui'er's mother and daughter in the main room, and said in a low voice, "After a while, it will be completely dark, so let's go eat for the sky."

Frustration flashed in Simba's eyes, and he lowered his head and said, "When we came out, we promised our mother that we would never ask for help. I didn't expect it to be so embarrassing in less than half a month. It's really embarrassing. Yes, if mom finds out, she will definitely not let us out again in the future."

Cheng'er also sighed, remained silent for a while, and said, "Otherwise, we will only ask the thirteenth shopkeeper to help buy the puppy back, and we will never take the ones from the shop, and then ask the thirteenth shopkeeper to help keep it secret, what do you say?" OK?"

"Well, it's still important to save the puppy. Even if Shopkeeper Thirteen refuses to keep it secret, we have to rescue him first."

"Who are you going to save?" The two were talking, but they didn't notice when Tweety walked up to them with two big bowls of porridge, "My family is poor and I don't have much to eat. If you don't mind, just drink A bowl of porridge, pad your stomach."

Simba and Cheng'er were overjoyed, and quickly took the porridge bowl over. After thanking them, they began to eat, and they were sometimes inhaled by the hot porridge.

Tweety looked amused, so she hugged the square pan and sat aside, "How long have you been hungry? There is still some in the pot. I'll serve it to you when you're done eating."

Simba and Cheng'er blushed, "No, no, we'll be leaving in a while."

"Let's go? Where are you going?" Cui'er remembered the ferocious appearance of the two Hades just now, and couldn't help worrying about them, "If you are caught by those chasing you again, you will be beaten."

Simba put down the bowl, looked at her gratefully and smiled, "It's okay, we have relatives in this city, as long as we run there, we won't be afraid."

Cheng'er also said, "Tweety, do you know where Shi Weitian, who makes dim sum, is?"

"Food is the sky?" Tweety's eyes widened in surprise, and asked, "Do you have any relatives who work for the sky? My family also has a distant cousin who works as a waiter there. It's really a good place. The monthly money Not to mention Gao, I send out many times a year, new clothes every season, endless snacks, and red envelopes for Chinese New Year..."
Simba and Cheng'er didn't expect to ask Cui'er such a long sentence just asking where is Shi Weitian. She must have envied her for a long time, but at this moment, they were anxious to save the puppy, so how could they listen patiently? , so interrupted her, "Tweety, we are in a hurry to find a relative to save a friend, can you first tell us how to get there?"

Cui'er stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "Ah, I really want to go to Shiweitian to do things, but unfortunately they don't want girls, so I talk too much. Shiweitian is easy to find, just go out of this alley and turn right. After walking two streets, turn left, then go straight for one street, then turn right, which is Main Street..."

Cheng'er and Simba became more and more confused, and finally they could only say, "Tweety, we are really in a hurry and the road is unfamiliar, can you lead us there?"

Seeing that it was getting dark, Cui'er was a little embarrassed, but seeing that the two of them were really anxious, she got up and went into the house and said a few words to her mother, and then she walked out quickly, saying, "I told my mother to go to the opposite door to ask for help." It looks like an embroidery, let's go and come back quickly."

Simba and Cheng'er were overjoyed, they got up and were about to go out, but Tweety stopped them, "Take off this monkey clothes first, and wash your face, or you will be arrested when you go out."

It was only then that Simba and the two remembered that they had been wearing furs and facial makeup all the time, so they hurried into the barn to take off, tidied up the cyan coarse clothes inside, washed their head and face after coming out, and then followed Tweety out the door.

The three of them cautiously observed the surrounding situation, while quickly turning around in the streets and alleys. After a long time, Cui'er led the two of them, and finally stopped outside the two black lacquered wooden doors, and said, " This is the back door of Shi Wei Tian, ​​I used to come to see my cousin, that's how I got in from here."

As she spoke, she reached out and knocked on the door, and shouted loudly, "Is anyone there? I'm Tweety. I'm here to see Cousin Shuisheng."

After a while, footsteps came from the yard, and someone asked with a smile, "Is Tweety here?"

Tweety recognized that it was her cousin's voice, so she replied, "It's me, my cousin, open the door quickly, I have something to ask you."

With a soft squeak, the two wooden doors opened from the inside, revealing a bright and handsome young guy. The guy was surprised when he saw Simba and Cheng'er behind Tweety, Frowning, he asked in a low voice, "Tweety, why did you bring two outsiders with you when you came here so late? You know our rules..."

Tweety pushed her cousin away, let Simba and Cheng'er into the yard, turned around and closed the door, and then said, "Cousin, these two friends of mine are in a hurry, that's why I sent them here so late .”

Then he asked Simba and Cheng'er, "Who are you looking for, tell me quickly."

Simba looked at the guy and said, "I am the second young master of Muxian Mansion, Mu Junyu. I have something urgent to see your thirteenth shopkeeper. Go and invite him over."

Shuisheng is 16 years old this year, seven years older than Tweety. The parents of the two families have always intended for them to get married, but because Tweety is too young, they only want to talk about it in two or three years. Tweety takes good care of her, but Tweety doesn't know much about love affairs and only treats her as a good cousin.

When Shui Sheng first saw Tweety and the two and a half children going out at night, he felt a little displeased and filled with sourness. He didn't understand the first sentence of the second young master of Muxian Mansion, but he only heard the last sentence to ask his shopkeeper to come see him. The more angry he was, he pouted, glanced at Simba's tattered clothes, and said half-sarcastically, "Tweety, where did you pick up the beggars, if you want to beg for food, let them stand outside the door." Come on, I'll just find a few steamed buns and it's over, our shopkeeper is busy, not everyone can see it."

"What are you talking about, cousin, they really have something to do, not begging for food." Tweet pouted angrily, and just as Shuisheng was about to speak, Simba couldn't wait, and shouted loudly, "Treasurer Thirteen , come out quickly, I am Mu Junyu, I have something to do with you!"

His voice was hoarse and eager, and it spread far away in the originally quiet courtyard, and soon seven or eight men and women came out of the side room in the southwest corner of the courtyard, some of them were holding white bread in their hands, obviously they I was having dinner just now.

One of the older men squinted at Simba and the others by the light at the door, and asked, "Who is looking for the thirteen shopkeepers?"

Shuisheng gave Simba an annoyed look, and replied, "Manager 46, it's a little beggar who came to ask for some food. I'll send them away immediately."

Simba pushed him away angrily, and shouted, "I am the second young master of Muxian Mansion, Mu Junyu, and the thirteenth treasurer, let him come out quickly, I have something to look for him."

Mu 46, together with the four maids behind him, all came from Kao City last year. Naturally, they are more familiar with the affairs of the master's house than the local Shuisheng and other guys. Hearing the word Mu Junyu, he hurried down the steps and approached After looking carefully for a while, they all hesitated.

Simba has been hungry and tired for the past half month, his originally white and fat round face has long been thinned into the shape of a melon seed, and it is still the kind that has not grown up, shriveled and yellow, it has changed a lot.Even those who are closest to Xiao An may not be able to recognize him at first glance, not to mention, Mu 46 and a few maids have only met him a few times before, so they dare to recognize him easily.

Simba stomped his feet anxiously, "I'm Simba, don't you all recognize me? Call shopkeeper Thirteen quickly, I have something urgent."

Mu 46 knew that his second young master's baby name was Simba, so he believed a little more in his heart, and said, "The thirteenth shopkeeper, I have gone out on business, and I won't be back for a while. Forgive the poor eyesight of the servants, if the young master can come up with When the token comes, the servants will immediately go to the shopkeeper and come back."

Simba and Cheng'er were thrown into Qufeng Garden overnight by Fan Fei. The backpacks and horses were all missing, so they couldn't get the token for a while, so they said, "I lost my token. I'm really Mr. Mu!" Yu, if you find Shopkeeper Thirteen, he will definitely recognize me."

When Mu 46 saw that he couldn't take out the token, the suspicion in his eyes became even stronger. Just as he was about to say a few perfunctory words, he heard someone from the side door not far away ask, "Who is looking for me?"

　Woohoo, the weather here has cooled down again. I am really confused. I am still wearing the thickest and longest down jacket. When will spring come? I am looking forward to it!

　　Thank you for supporting the genuine version, and continue to work hard to code words seriously!
