The pastoral concubine of space

Chapter 226
Sun Erxiao's home is in a small alley where ordinary people live in Luyuntai. There are several families living in a small courtyard. Sun Erxiao is a widow and has no other relatives. He lives in one of the courtyards. big room.

When Feng Yunxiu and others found the place, there were several people in the yard who were washing or drying the medicinal materials or other mountain products brought back by the family.

Seeing a stranger in extraordinary clothes appear at the gate of the courtyard, the female family members were a little vigilant and suspicious, and one of the fat aunts asked loudly, "Who are you looking for?"

The courtyard was small and narrow, and it was not convenient for seven or eight of them to go in together. Feng Yunxiu's family of four waited at the door. Wei Qing and Huo Qi stood up and asked, "Is Sun Er's family here?"

When the few women who were quite vigilant at first heard Sun Erxiao's name, they immediately relaxed, with a clear expression on their faces.

The fat aunt also breathed a sigh of relief, "You are also here to find Sun Erxiao to hunt for treasure on the mountain."

Treasure hunt?The expressions of the entire group could not help but move slightly, Wei Qing asked without a trace: "How did this aunt guess it?"

The fat aunt said proudly: "It's hard to guess, there were quite a few people with the same purpose as you a few days ago, you can see that they are different from ordinary people like us, you came from a rich family, if it wasn't for finding Those things in Sun Er's novels, how could they come to this alley?"

"Oh, your guess is really right." Wei Qing nodded, "We did come here to see something new after we heard about Sun Erxiao's adventure. I wonder if he is at home now?"

The fat aunt shook her head regretfully, "It's a pity that you came late. A group of people came before you yesterday and gave Sun Erxiao a lot of money and left first. It may take three to five days to come back. You go first." Wait, before these people, there was no one who was curious to pay Sun Erxiao to take them on a treasure hunt, but none of them found it, so you don't have to worry about being robbed by others."

There is one thing she didn't say, in fact, even with this group of people like Wei Qing, she didn't think she could find anything, because she didn't believe that Sun Erxiao's experience was true at all, most of it was just like what other people in the city said, it was sleeping. A stupid dream.

Huo Qi asked: "Auntie, according to what you mean, there are many people who come to see Sun Erxiao?"

Before the fat aunt could open her mouth, another younger woman next to her came up and said, "Isn't that right, that kid has been very busy for the past month or so. Although we don't believe the dream he had, we can't stand someone Believe me, many young men from rich families who have some spare money and are looking for an exciting way have come to him, gave him some money to help guide the way, and even said that if they really found the treasure, they would give him a reward of 100 taels."

100 taels!They have never seen so much silver in their life!
The other female family members came over to join in their free time and said, "Sun Erxiao has earned more than a dozen taels of silver just by guiding people, and he may not be able to earn so much silver all year round!" Feeling sour, but at the same time gloating, "However, this money is not so easy to earn. If you encounter a good temper, you may have been mentally prepared to know that you may not be able to find something. Turn around and find nothing. At most, if you don’t give him the money in the back, you won’t do anything to him, but if you encounter someone with a bad temper, you will have to be beaten.”

"Accounting, Sun Erxiao has been beaten no less than five times so far."

The four members of Feng Yunxiu's family who were listening at the door twitched the corners of their mouths at the same time, a little sympathetic to Sun Erxiao, and a little bit wanting to laugh.

"Sun Erxiao was afraid of being beaten, and he didn't dare to mention that matter anymore, but people would still come over every now and then. He, a commoner, didn't dare to confront the rich young masters, so he still had to bite the bullet and lead the way. This time I don't know if he will be beaten again, most of the money he earns is used to buy medicines, and I really can't tell whether it is a profit or a loss." The fat lady sighed.

Since Sun Erxiao was not around for the time being, and they couldn't find anyone for a while, Feng Yunxiu gave Wei Qing a wink, and the latter continued to look for the neighbors who lived in the same yard as Sun Erxiao knowingly. , specific details about that rumor.

Shen Lingzhi didn't know how many people's ears and how many "adaptations" he knew about the situation. There may be a lot of content that is very aware of the facts. The local people know the situation, especially it is likely to be the first The neighbors who have listened to Sun Erxiao's description in person should know best.

In order to let them know everything, Wei Qing also deliberately took out a sum of broken silver, which added up to more than a dozen taels of silver, and let the few families present share it equally, and each family could get two or three taels of silver.

Just casually talking about something well-known to everyone can earn a few taels of silver for free. These female relatives were so happy that they were afraid that the money would be wasted if they spoke too slowly, so they scrambled to speak without Wei Qing asking.

Facts have proved that their concerns are not wrong. There are indeed quite a few discrepancies in the information provided by Shen Lingzhi, and some important information has been missed and distorted.

The women chattered for almost a quarter of an hour before stopping, and then stared at the money bag in Wei Qing's hand. separated.

Just when Wei Qing was about to turn around and ask his master whether he should find an inn to stay in and keep an eye on the movement of the yard, or go up the mountain to find people, Xiao Yunchu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stopped the fat lady and raised a question. A problem ignored by all.

"Auntie, you said that another group of people took Sun Erxiao away yesterday. Can you tell us more about the appearance of those people, or some features that impressed you deeply?"

Um?Headed by Feng Yunxiu, the other members of Pojun heard something from this sentence, their expressions changed slightly, and they all looked at the fat aunt.

The fat aunt recalled, "It's about the same as you, isn't it? It doesn't look like you are short of money when you dress up, but you don't look as kind as you, and the tone of your speech is more rude, and I don't feel very annoying." That's why she felt that Sun The second child may still be beaten up.

The woman who said that someone wanted to give Sun Erxiao 100 taels suddenly said, "I noticed yesterday that the leader of those people had a knife on him, so he put it in his boot."

The other women who were holding up silver coins were startled, "Is it true?"

"Speaking of which, the young man from yesterday looked nothing like the rich young men we've seen before, and he didn't see Duo Siwen when he spoke. I also saw thick calluses on his palms." Generally speaking, the young men from wealthy families Who has cocoons in their hands?
The fat aunt glared at them, "Since you saw it, why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

The women looked at me and I looked at you, and laughed dryly: "Even if you see it, it doesn't prove anything, and even if you tell them, they insist on letting Sun Erxiao go with them, can we take care of him?" " Sun Erxiao is not one of them, so it's not their turn to care about this kind of business.

Anyway, every time Sun Erxiao came back safely, it is estimated that no matter how fierce those people are, they will not be able to kill them, right?So many people here have seen the appearance of those people, it is really hard to run away if they kill people, unless those people are going to turn around and silence them all.

Thinking of this, the women couldn't help shivering, not daring to think about it.

Not to mention how these women became a little uneasy after knowing it, but Feng Yunxiu and Xiao Yunchu turned cold after hearing their description, and at the same time came up with an idea.

——Being caught first!
