The county magistrate came to the wedding tent tremblingly.
"Little lady, are you impatient?" He held up the candle with one hand and stepped forward to take off the bride's hijab with the other.
Following the small hole in the window paper, Guo Mo saw a girl with pear blossoms in the rain, crying helplessly.
Seeing the county master approaching, he quickly moved his body and hid in the bed.
"Haha, you little girl, you are quite anxious." As the county master spoke, he put down the candle and began to undress and take off his belt.
"Don't worry, after two days, I will let your scholar father return to the Yamen to take charge of money and food. After all, he is the cheap father-in-law of this county, so he can't treat him badly, hahaha."
Guo Mo felt that he couldn't wait any longer, so he turned around and came to the door, pushed the door open and went in.
I don't know whether it was the drunkenness that made him nervous or the lust that confused his mind. Guo Mo walked behind the county master without him even noticing.
Guo Mo playfully patted the county master on the shoulder and blew on the back of his neck.
"Well, who is it?" This fifty-eight-year-old county man was also unusually agile and stepped aside, still holding his belt tightly with both hands.
Guo Mo had nothing to say to this guy. He didn't seem to know what to do except knock him out.
Huang Rong, who followed behind, saw Guo Mo's embarrassment and said, "Brother Mo, give him to me."
Huang Rong, who took the initiative to ask for help, stepped forward, stretched out her hand and sealed the opponent's acupuncture points.
The county master found that he could not move. Just as he was about to call for help, Huang Rong grabbed the "Yumen Point" again.
"Ah, ah..." I opened my mouth, but no sound came out.
"Rong'er, you have to teach me this move someday. Isn't it very easy to use?" Guo Mo looked at Huang Rong's "Orchid Acupuncture Hand" with envy.
He seemed to have thought of something again, "I still don't want it. This is the unique martial arts of your 'Peach Blossom Island'. It would not be good to pass it on to outsiders."
"Brother Mo, what are you talking about?" Huang Rong pretended to be angry: "When one day I see that my mood is better, I will consider whether to accept you as a 'named disciple'."
This little girl never forgets to have fun no matter the occasion.
The bride, Ms. Zhou, was also frightened by what she saw. She was dumbfounded, said nothing, and hid in the bed shivering.
"Girl, don't be afraid, we are here to rescue you and go home." Guo Mo quickly explained when he saw the little girl's appearance.
Huang Rong walked forward and said, "Sister, it's okay. I will take you home in a moment." She comforted her gently.
Guo Mo was not idle either. He stepped forward, tied the county master's hands tightly behind his back with his belt, and took off his socks to stuff his mouth.
"Brother Mo, I tapped his acupuncture points, and within twelve hours, he couldn't move or speak. Are you superfluous?"
Guo Mo's old face turned red, he was despised.
Guo Mo walked around the room twice and knocked on the bed board. He saw that the tied county man was shaking in fear.
"Is there a problem?" He lifted up the quilt to reveal the solid wood bed board.
"Bang bang", Guo Mo knocked again, and there was a hollow sound under the bed board.
After looking at it for a long time, I found a very thin metal rope running along the wood grain of the bed board.
Guo Mo reached out, grabbed the rope, and opened the lid with all his strength.
The county magistrate became even more anxious and kept shaking his head, feeling like he was dying. Unfortunately, everything was in vain.
From inside, Guo Mo took out a black box that was one foot square. It was heavy and a little too long.
Regardless of the murderous look in his eyes, Guo Mo came to the table holding the box.
There was no lock on the box, so Guo Mo opened it, and instantly the room was filled with brilliance.
The yellow ones are gold and the white ones are silver. There is also a stack of one thousand taels of silver notes next to it, there are dozens of them.
In addition, there are some jade articles, jewelry and so on.
Guo Mo was a little disappointed. It was hidden so well. He thought he would find some treasure. It turned out to be some money.
But when I thought about it, this county gentleman looked like a complete money addict.
Guo Mo was not polite, pulled off a piece of bed sheet, packed the box together, and carried it on his back.
At this time, Huang Rong also comforted the little girl, extinguished the candles in the room, and threw the county master on the bed. It would probably be tomorrow if he was discovered.
The group of three people followed the original route and left the county government office.
When they got to the street, Huang Rong asked: "Sister, how do you get to your house? We will take you back."
This week the scholar's home is not far away, just to the west of the city, almost to the city gate.
Guo Mo and Huang Rong followed the little girl to Zhou Xiucai's house.
The courtyard was not big, with only three rooms. It was already midnight and the courtyard was dark with no lights on.
When the three of them approached the door, they heard a low groan in the room.
The little girl pushed the door open and went in. "Dad, Dad, are you there? Lian'er is back." It turns out that this little girl's name is Zhou Lian.
When I heard my daughter's cry, there was a sound in the room on the east side, and after a while, the lights also turned on.
A lamp was like a bean, and a slightly thin man of medium build, about thirty years old, came out holding an oil lamp.
"Lian'er, my poor child, why are you back? It's all because of my useless father."
When the man saw his daughter who had been snatched away during the day, he stepped forward to hug her and burst into tears.
After crying for a long time, Lian'er first stopped her sorrow and said, "Dad, it was these two elder brothers and sister who rescued me."
Only then did Zhou Lian remember that she had been rescued and sent home.
Zhou Xiucai looked up and saw a man and a woman at the door. The woman was handsome and the man was handsome.
"Thank you both for rescuing my little girl, otherwise..." Zhou Xiucai didn't know how to express his feelings, so he said repayment. It seemed that he had nothing to offer except these three old houses.
By the light, Guo Mo was also looking at Zhou Xiucai.
During the day, when he was at "Ke Laitou" and listened to the waiter talk about this week's scholar, he became interested.
Scholar, if you can read and write, and you are in charge of money and food in the county government, then you are not a pedantic scholar. Maybe you can really use it.
"Zhou Xiucai, there is no need to be polite. The two of us just happened to meet each other and caught up." Guo Mo replied quickly.
"It's really abominable that this county master is so ridiculous. But he is the head of this county after all. I wonder what Zhou Xiucai's next plan is?"
"Hey, to tell you the truth, my family has lived here for several generations, and now it's just me and my daughter who depend on each other. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Xingding County any longer if I encounter such a killer." Zhou Xiucai said with one hand.
He was holding his daughter, looking so helpless.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Guo Mo said: "If Zhou Xiucai and his daughter really have nowhere to go, I do have a place to go, but the journey is far away and I have to leave my hometown. I wonder if you two are willing?"
"Haha, my benefactor was joking. We have no relatives now, and we have no reason to raise our heads. We just need a place to stay, and there is no need to be picky."
Guo Mo nodded, "Okay, then you two might as well pack up tonight and set off for the desert early tomorrow morning?"
"Desert?" Zhou Xiucai's eyes burst out with surprise.
