The Golden Age

Before dawn, the rooster did not sound, Qin Xiao had already punched a set of punches in his house.

Bajiquan was taught by the old man when Qin Xiao was six years old. The boxing technique itself is not complicated, or even a little simple. However, the old man said that this eight-jiquan boxing strengthens the body and exercises for many years. It can enhance physical fitness and make the brain change. Be flexible.

Normally, the old man said nothing wrong, so for many years, as long as there were no special circumstances, Qin Xiao would have to get up early and hit a set of punches unstoppably.

This has become the regularity in his life like eating and sleeping.

Before the first light of dawn fell on the ground, Qin Xiao had taken a cold shower, and then placed a bowl of noodles to make breakfast for himself. After eating, this was done. He hung his own wine gourd and went out. , And took it to the courtyard door.

There are less than 30 families on both sides of the wooden lane, but less than half of them have lived here for more than five years.

Guicheng is an important city in Xiling and an important base for business travel. There are many floating populations. In addition, if you commit criminal law in Guanguan, many of them will also be sent to Xiling.

Business travelers, thieves, criminals, and rangers are among them. Among them, the three religions, the ninth class, and other people live in the city, so the turtle city can also be regarded as a mixed fish.

Some people came and walked in the wooden alley. When they came suddenly, they would walk silently.

However, there are not many people in Muxiang Lane, even if it is new, as long as they adapt to a period of time, they can get acquainted with their neighbors, and the people in Muxiang Lane will not easily cause trouble to others and guard their own doors.

The mao at the oil shop leaning on the door opens for the first time every day. The cake face of the biscuit shop only knows a smirk. The father and son of the Jin family in the coffin shop elongate their faces every day.

The city life of these people is monotonous and boring, but it repeats day after day.

"Mother early!"

When Qi Ning passed the oil shop, he saw Ma Po just came out of the inner hall and immediately smiled at Ma Po.

Mapo's oil shop has been operating in this street for many years. The business is not good, but it has persisted.

This old lady wears a thick black robe all year round, with a black headscarf on her head and rickets, perhaps because she is older and deaf, and she rarely communicates with people on weekdays. When Qin Xiao passes by every day, as long as she is seen , Will say hello.

The mother-in-law didn't seem to hear it, and she didn't take care of it. Qin Xiao was accustomed to it, watching the rickety mother-in-law went to the inner house again, and sighed in her heart, knowing that if the old woman passed away one day, the oil shop would be completely closed. .

Arriving at the Jiazi prison, Qin Xiao carried a sack in his hand, and the middle-aged jailer who guarded the gate immediately came together and whispered: "I heard that Meng Shutou came back last night. Everyone said you went to Zhen with Master Du Wei. Hou Mansion?"

"Admiral Du Wei is worried about something, so take me over so that I can report."

"Is it because of the dog?" said the middle-aged jailer with a lingering fear: "It offends the Zhen family and can come out safe and sound. That's rare."

Qin Xiao said with a smile: "It's just a little misunderstanding. There is something that can't be solved if Master Duwei comes out."

"It was said like this, but last night it was very dangerous." The middle-aged jailer sighed: "You are good, you are young and vigorous, Qin Xiao, say something that should not be said, some things are still good to hide, not Get ahead, otherwise you can only blame your upper body."

Qin Xiao knew that the middle-aged jailer had no malicious intentions, but Meng arrested his head and could not stay out of it anyway. He smiled and did not say much. He was about to go to the prison and heard the rumor. Here comes the voice: "Qin Xiao, wait a minute."

Qin Xiao turned his head and saw only two yamen escorting a man dressed in prison uniform.

Seeing that the prisoner was escorted over, Qin Xiao put the sack down, his face immediately showed a thick smile, and quickly greeted him.

"Dou Ba, thirty-six years old, the dartsman of the Four Seas Dart Bureau, accidentally wounded his life and was sentenced to six years in prison. The case has been finalized."

Qin Xiao looked at the prisoner up and down, and walked around slowly, as if checking the goods, even sniffing his nose.　　 Dou Ba couldn't help but say: "What are you doing?"

Qin Xiaogong smiled and said: "It turned out to be the Dou Dartist, I have been admiring for a long time. I would like to introduce myself. The younger surname is Qin, the single name is a Xiao character, and the Xiaoyao Xiao is responsible for delivering meals to you for three meals a day. Running errands or something. In the future, if there is a need for the Dart Dart Master, despite the opening, I will do what I can do for you, and I will do my best if I can’t do it. Anyway, it will make you live here comfortably and feel at home. Feeling." Raised his hand: "Come and come, please, please!"

Dou Ba was a little dazed.

Feel at home?

This ghost place will make Lao Tzu feel at home?

Qin Xiao had ran to open the chain of the iron gate of Jiazijian, then pushed the door open, picked up the sack, and stepped aside, still with a smile that made people feel like spring breeze: "Dou Dart, please come in, Room 8 has been empty for a while, and I clean it up every day, just waiting for you."

The two jailers then urged Dou Ba to go inside. When he entered the door, Dou Ba couldn't help but glance at Qin Xiao. He saw Qin Xiao looking at himself with a warm smile on his face. Has the service been so considerate?

Entering the iron gate is the stone steps down, there is a fairly spacious passage in front, less than twenty steps forward, facing a house with the door closed, there is a passage on the left and right , But they were all closed with iron railings. Through the iron railings, it was very dim.

"This is a shift room, where I usually work on duty, so as to facilitate your needs, you can always greet." Qin Xiao carried the sack and smiled: "There are only 16 rooms in the A-shaped prison, and there are eight on each side. , You are the eighth room, which is the innermost one on the left, come, please!" said to the two jailers: "The two brothers are working hard, I can send the Dou Dart Master into it, you can first I'm back."

The two yacha looked at each other, one yacha smiled at Qin Xiao, and did not speak, but Qin Xiao was an empathetic expression, Dou Dartist looked in his eyes, his heart was tight, secretly thinking about this They glance at each other, is there any unspeakable secret you? Is it to be harmful to yourself?

After the two jailers left, Qin Xiao went to open the iron gate on the left, and politely made a request. Dou Ba hesitated for a moment, and finally went inside.

Qin Xiao followed Dou Ba, and after Dou Ba entered, he found a row of prisoners on his right. After passing the first one, through the Mushan Bar, he saw that the prisoner was an old man in his fifties. Dou Ba was surprised that the scene in the cell was completely different from what he had previously thought.

He just thought that in the prison, the prison must be dirty and smelly.

But in the first prison, it was clean. In addition to a bed in the corner, there was even a desk with many books on the table. The old prisoner was sitting on a big chair by the table. Holding a book, reading under the oil lamp on the table and reading under the lamp, a leisurely look, not like a prison, but like it is in his own study.

Although the old prisoners were wearing prison uniforms, they were clean and even had their hair styled.

Hearing the movement, the old prisoner turned his head to look at Dou Ba, but just looked at Qin Xiaodao: "Xiao Zi, did you find the books that the old man wanted?"

Qin Xiao stopped and reverently said: "Mr. Xu, just arrived at the new guest, your book has been found, and I will send it to you later, please wait."

Old prisoner Mr. Xu whispered and continued reading, leisurely and complacent.

Dou Ba's eyes widened, and he just felt unbelievable. He had an illusion for a while. Did he really go to prison?

Going all the way, the eight cells, except for the eighth room where Dou Ba was going to stay, the seven in front were actually occupied. Every time Qin Xiao passed a cell, he didn't wait for the people inside to speak, he already said: "Wait Wait a minute, come here now!"

Going straight to the eighth room, a circle is drawn above the prison door, and there is a word "捌" written in it. This is naturally the eighth cell.

Qin Xiao opened the cell door and went to light the lamp himself. The room lit up. Dou Ba found that the cell was really clean and tidy, but compared with the furnishings in other cells, there were only corners There is a wooden bed with a toilet next to it, and nothing else.

Dou Ba frowned, and couldn't help saying: "Qin... Qin Xiao, why am I so simple inside? Why are the tables and chairs missing?"

Qin Xiao put down the sack in his hand and raised his hand: "Duo Dart Master please sit down first, you just came in. You haven't figured out many things, I'll introduce it to you." Pointing at the hand cuffing Dou Ba's hands Shaodao said: "The first three days before you came in, the dart master had to be patient. He wore this stuff first, and he could open it as soon as he arrived in three days. Room 8 has a bed and a toilet, which are provided free of charge. If the dartsman needs anything from now on, whether it is eating, drinking or playing, as long as it is within the allowable range, you can speak and I will get it to you immediately."

Dou Ba "Oh," a little surprised, "I can do anything I want?"

"Yes, Dou Dart Master..., Dart Master, I feel too rusty to call me this. I wonder if I call you Uncle Dou in the future?" Qin Xiao's sincere smile: "This will be Let our relationship be closer."

Dou Ba sat down on the wooden bed and said, "You call it whatever you want."

"Hao La." Qin Xiao is more enthusiastic: "Uncle, I said, what you want, I will do my best to get you over, and you will treat me as your junior in the future, don't be polite in everything. For example, you are You can’t wear a suit every day. If you need it, I can get another clean one immediately, so that I can change it every day. The clothes are dirty. You say, I’ll let you wash it. Clean, if you have requirements, such as embroidering a flower on your clothes, I can do it."

Dou Ba nodded and said: "Yes, a set of clothes is not enough, you help me get another set, thank you."

"You're welcome. Uncle wants a new prison uniform. I'll bring it to you later." Qin Xiao said while pulling out a small book from his arms. After opening the book, there was a charcoal in it. The thin charcoal pen was made, and it was written on the notebook with the charcoal pen, and then asked with a smile: "What does Uncle want?" Before waiting for Dou Ba to speak, he pointed to the toilet and said: "Uncle Dou Did you clean the toilet for you?"

Dou Ba immediately said: "That's natural." He looked at the empty wooden bed and frowned, "How can I sleep without this set of bedding? Can you get me a set of bedding?"

Qin Xiao nodded while remembering: "Naturally and naturally, it's still cool at night. Although Uncle Dou's body is strong, he still sleeps with bedding at night. Rest assured, I'll get you a set of warm and soft bedding. Uncle, What else do I have to write down and send it back to you once in a while.” I looked up at Dou Ba with a serious look: “What are your hobbies? Do you like calligraphy? Would you like a set of pen, ink and paper ink? Or you I like musical instruments. I'll give you a bamboo flute or something."

If you didn’t see that the people in the previous cells were really comfortable, Dou Ba thought that the teenager was making fun of herself and thought about it, saying: "I usually like fighting crickets, but it is not convenient here, then forget it So, I like to drink alcohol. If it’s convenient, get me two jars of wine, which is the ancient city roast in Wanfu Building. Also, get some wine and some beef roast duck, yes, if you can It's better to get the red oil pig ears of Yupinzhai."

"Convenient and convenient, these things can be obtained, a trivial matter." Qin Xiao asked, after writing down: "What more?"

Dou Ba thought about it for a while before shaking his head: "That's all. If I need anything, I'll talk to you."

Qin Xiao nodded and said: "Okay. Uncle Dou, you hear, you need these things, a set of bedding, a set of prison uniforms, the two ancient altars burned in the ancient city of Wanfu Building, and the red oil pig ears of Yupinzhai One serving, another catty of beef and a roast duck, and the toilet will be specially rinsed every day. Uncle Dou, is that all?"

Dou Badao: "Yes, that's all, let me trouble you."

"Uncle Dou is too polite, no trouble, I should do it." Qin Xiao smiled and said: "In addition to cleaning the toilet is paid monthly, one or two silver a month, other things add up to two or two silver, Uncle Dou, you I don’t have any money on my body. I don’t know where your family lives. You can tell me the details.
