The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 71

"Boss, don't bother with him, tie him up together, when we finish our work..." The thin man didn't continue talking, but only gestured for a vegetable-cutting bracelet, signaling to kill Zhou Tianhao.

Boss Xiao didn't dare to underestimate Zhou Tianhao. Anyone who dared to block the road like this must have expected that there was someone in the carriage early in the morning.Boss Xiao just clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Xiao Mou appreciates this brother's kindness. I will go to Xiongtai's house for tea another day. I'm afraid I won't be free today!"

As soon as the words fell, Boss Xiao stretched out his hand to his back, drew out a knife, and slashed towards Zhou Tianhao.The knife was fast and accurate, Zhou Tianhao leaned his body, and the blade whizzed past the tip of his nose.Zhou Tianhao leaned over and pulled out the horsewhip just now, and whipped it on Zhao Laosi's arm.

The fourth Zhao was in pain and let go of Mrs. Xu, who only screamed in fright and hid behind the carriage.Zhou Tianhao split the slender man with a whip, Xu only felt his waist tighten, his body was already rolled up by the whip, and thrown into the carriage.

Mrs. Xu only felt the pain all over her body. Before she could stabilize herself, Zhou Tianhao whipped the horse again. The horse neighed in pain and galloped away. The thin man hurriedly got up from the ground and quickly caught up!
At this moment, Boss Xiao and Fourth Zhao came to their senses, and they leaned forward, flanking Zhou Tianhao from left to right.

"Why does this brother meddle in his own business and cut off our money?" Boss Xiao said while fighting.

Zhou Tianhao was able to deal with two people alone, which was more than enough at first, but after a while he felt a little struggling, so he just took a deep breath and said, "My surname is love, and my name is nosy!"

Boss Xiao twisted his brows, and slashed out again. The blade slashed across Zhou Tianhao's left arm, drawing a bloodline. It is only two or three inches away from my own face.

"Your Excellency is very skilled. At this time, Dayong is using people's tricks. Instead of going to the border to kill the enemy, he hides in this safe place and deals with some old and weak women and children. What kind of hero is he?"

Boss Xiao frowned slightly, and pressed the knife in his hand down a little more. Just as he was about to speak, Zhou Tianhao, who was opposite him, suddenly softened and fell to the ground. He picked up a stone on the side of the road and knocked Zhou Tianhao unconscious.

At this time, the thin man who was chasing Mrs. Xu also came back, panting and said: "Damn, that carriage is running too fast, it disappeared in the blink of an eye." Zhou Tianhao just walked over, suddenly pulled out a dagger from his boots, and said ruthlessly: "Originally, the matter is over, and Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway, boss, why don't we kill him?"

Boss Xiao lowered his head, glanced at Zhou Tianhao's rich or expensive attire, recalled his accent just now, and only said: "Take him away, maybe we let go of a fat sheep, and a fat cow came. "

However, Xie Yujiao went to Nanshan Lake to watch the dragon boat race today, and she was full of interest. The only time she went to the street after crossing over was during the Lantern Festival this year. By this time, several months had passed, and she was already exhausted.

Housekeeper Tao ordered people to build a gazebo on the shore last night, and the Xie family is a big family, occupying a large area.Shen Shihu was dragged to be a rowing crewman again this year. Wearing a red and green competition suit, he glanced at Xie Yujiao from a distance in the crowd and felt a little shy, so he hid.

Xu Huiru was sitting in the gazebo, holding a small plate of sliced ​​peaches in her hand, and said as she ate, "Cousin, it's really lively here!"

Xie Yujiao looked at the various stalls set up by the common people around the lake, she just nodded and said, "After the game is over, we will also go there and see if there are any good things."

Xu Huiru nodded happily, poked a piece of peach with a small stick, and brought it to Xie Yujiao's lips.Xie Yujiao just ate a sip, and the housekeeper Tao came over and said, "Miss, in the past, the master gave the opening remarks, but this year the big guy said that I invite you to come over and say a few words, so as to boost morale."

Xie Yujiao swallowed the peach in a hurry, wiped the corner of her mouth with the handkerchief, frowned and said, "Boss, it must be your bad idea, why didn't you tell me this morning?"

Tao Laixi just lowered his head, with a silly smile on his brows, and said, "It's not like the common people say that they don't usually have the chance to see the eldest lady, but today is a rare opportunity, and everyone wants to meet the eldest lady."

After all, Xie Yujiao is a modern person, and she doesn't have any soft and coy attitude. Seeing what Tao Laixi said, she got up and said, "Okay then, I'll go and have a look with you."

A total of eleven dragon boat teams participated today. In addition to the eight teams from Xie's family, there are three teams from other families.Wherever Xie Yujiao went, the villagers started whispering, most of them were talking about how smart and powerful this young lady from the Xie family was.

Xie Yujiao walked among the crowd, and after greeting the wives of the other three families, she turned to the young men who were rowing boats and said, "The purpose of holding this dragon boat race today is to make everyone happy and give us a good start during the busy farming season." A good start, I wish us a good harvest this year; secondly, to commemorate my father, I hope he can see that the activities he loves are still preserved and passed down forever!"

After everyone heard this, they all cheered happily, and a few bold young men, seeing Xie Yujiao's beauty, only half-truly joked: "Miss, I heard that you will recruit a son-in-law in the future, can we do it?" ?”

Xie Yujiao glanced at the person who was speaking, and saw that it was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, who was booed by a group of people as soon as he opened his mouth.Xie Yujiao only smiled, and said, "Okay, after I have observed the filial piety for three years, you can come to Xie's mansion and recommend yourself!"

The young men blushed when they heard this, Mrs. Qi at the side only smiled and said: "Miss Xie really knows how to joke. If so, the threshold of Xie's family may be broken."

Xie Yujiao squeezed the handkerchief, covered her mouth and smiled, "Are you happy today? This is a young man from your town. If he is happy, he will work harder and win the game for your town. Our Xie family will not be happy." Do you have any silver left?"

Seeing what Xie Yujiao said, Mrs. Qi laughed even harder. The two happily sat down and waited for the dragon boat race to start.

Yun Song took Zhang's mother, and the two arrived at the village entrance of Xie's house. Only then did Zhang's mother come back to her senses a little bit, she only grabbed Yun Song's clothes and said: "Little brother, our girl is not at home, take me to Nanshan Go to the lake, she went to Nanshan Lake today."

Yun Song was even more puzzled by Monk Zhang Er. After hearing this, he only opened his mouth and said, "My old mother, where is Nanshan Lake? I don't know the way!" Now that Mingming is here, the old woman refuses to go down, so he has no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "You show me the way, I'll take you there."

Zhang's mother is now full of snot and tears. She just hoped that Mrs. Xu will be safe and sound, and she can't wait to see Xie Yujiao soon. She kept urging: "Young man, hurry up, my old bone Still worth it."

Yun Song secretly said bitterly, your old bones can stand it, but it's a pity that my small body can't stand it.

Mrs. Xu stumbled and stumbled in the carriage, and I don't know how long it took. Maybe the horse was tired from walking, so it stopped. Mrs. Xu leaned out of the carriage and took a look. The heart that had fallen in his throat finally fell, and he staggered over to knock on the door.

Seeing that it was Mrs. Xu, the old temple hurriedly welcomed her in. Mrs. Xu was overly frightened for a moment, supported the wall and took two or three steps, then passed out again.

The old temple wished Xu a good settlement, and hurriedly sent the little monk in the temple to report to Xie's house.

Gongs and drums were ringing on the shore of Nanshan Lake, obviously it was time for the competition. Xie Yujiao saw that the boys in Xie’s house were getting ready, so she went up to cheer them up and said with a smile, “I just said that, but I don’t want you to For those who lose, the Xie family can afford to pay back the land rent on the first floor, sometimes face is far more important than money, so please cheer me on, if I win the game, I will also give you a reward."

Everyone knew that this young lady was capable and generous, and hearing what she said, she became even more energetic.Shen Shihu hid at the end of the crowd, wrapping bandages around his wrists in a serious manner. Seeing Xie Yujiao approaching, he lowered his head, smiled innocently, concealed his embarrassment, and said, "Miss, don't worry, I usually bring Seeing that they have practiced a lot, this time, we, Xie Jiazhai, will definitely win."

Seeing what Shen Shihu said, Xie Yujiao smiled and said: "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, winning or losing is not important, as long as you all do your best."

Shen Shihu only nodded his head, and heard someone shouting in the distance: "Get on board, get on board!"

Shen Shihu smiled at Xie Yujiao, and followed a group of people to the dragon boat. Xie Yujiao turned around and was about to watch the battle in the gazebo, when she suddenly saw Zi Yanfei rushing over with a pale face, crying: "Girl, it's not good!" Yes! My wife was kidnapped by bandits!"

Hearing this, Xie Yujiao just lifted her skirt and ran over like flying. Seeing Mama Zhang being supported on a chair, and seeing Xie Yujiao coming, she slid off the chair tremblingly, knelt down in front of Xie Yujiao, and cried, "Miss, The wife was captured by a group of bandits, and the wife tried her best to let me escape... madam..." Zhang's mother was already sobbing.

At this time, Xie Yujiao has gradually calmed down, probably because she has watched Hong Kong police and gangster movies. Xie Yujiao can now be sure that the other party should be after the money. At this time, she should not get confused, but calm down and wait The kidnappers contacted Xie's family, made a series of plans, and then figured out how to rescue Xu.

"Mom, don't panic. Since those people are here for money, they won't hurt mother. Let's go back to Xie's house and wait for news of the kidnappers!" After Xie Yujiao finished speaking, she turned and left in a hurry. All the people followed closely behind with panicked expressions.

At this time, the sound of gongs and drums sounded, and eleven dragon boats advanced side by side, surrounded by cheering crowds.Suddenly there were screams from the crowd, and Shen Shihu suddenly stood up, dropped the paddle, jumped into the water, and swam towards the shore.
