Stride on the Journey (5) (https://www.clewxc.com/book/202108/23/12973.html first release)
Back on the road(5)
A skinny girl with a pretty face is out on the street, it's clear and sunny, and there aren't that many bad people. However, there are ruffians everywhere, but ruffians don't look twice at those who have not grown up and are poor enough to be so virtuous.
of.
There are many such scoundrels squatting at the gate of the city. They are naked and wearing cotton-padded jackets. There is nothing they can do about it! It’s cold, so they don’t have a jacket, and that’s it. When it’s hot, they pull open their collars and squat at the base of the wall to rub the dust off their bodies.
The cotton wool inside the torn cotton-padded jacket was exposed. It was unkempt and unkempt, and I didn’t even notice it.
Tongtong glanced at it and passed by, but he didn't know that the group behind him was discussing: "...I just came here, I don't have any foundation, but I bought a lot of things..."
It doesn’t have to be money! You can’t use clothes, bedding or anything else?!
Another said: "I'm watching. Her men in long robes and short coats are heading to the Li family. Don't have anything to do with the Li family."
"I heard that he is from Shenjia Town. He is related to the Li family!"
"Bah! They know them, do they know them?" The man snorted coldly, "Let's take advantage of my wife's absence... and take a look..."
"Wait a little longer, and wait and see when she will go out and when she will come back. Once you are sure, go ahead. See what she went out to buy, and then go back and pick up the pot."
That’s right!
Being pointed at like this, Tongtong felt very uncomfortable. It was a particularly uncomfortable feeling. She wanted to find a blind corner where she could hide at any time. She turned to the drug store not far away and took a look when she entered.
At a glance, they are still the same rogues.
Don't be targeted.
When she came in, she bought some medicine with the shopkeeper, and ordered a few things that were a little poisonous. The shopkeeper paused his hand and looked at the girl, "Girl, don't get too upset."
"Look, where are you going?" Tongtong laughed, "It's for mice."
"Do you know medicine?" The shopkeeper asked casually as he went to grab some medicine, otherwise he wouldn't be able to point out such a few uncommon things. No one has come to buy this medicine for three to five years. Occasionally, the doctor dares to prescribe strong medicine to fight poison with poison.
Just use the same thing. He has never seen anything like this.
Tongtong could only respond perfunctorily: "Literacy, I can read it in books."
I spent two copper yuan to buy a bunch of medicine that could hurt people, but I didn't dare to stay any longer. I still had a quilt and several kilograms of food at home.
When she entered the alley, she glanced at the rogues again, who stared at the medicine bags in their hands: Got it! I want to get more!
Done! If we don’t deal with these people, our family will not be able to live in peace.
That's what outsiders are like, they get bullied.
She had almost finished making the medicine at home, but she suddenly realized what was the point of secretly dealing with these people? Can she let the people around her know that she was not someone to be messed with?
No way! So, being sneaky is not the way, and it will also let others know that you can get the medicine.
It doesn’t count!
What to do?
After the medicine was put away, I had to carry it close to me to feel at ease. Then I packed up all the quilts and other things at home and knocked on the old lady’s door. “I’ll put it away in the house and take it away in the evening. Don’t come out if you hear any noise.”
.”
The woman wanted to say something, but she kept silent. As soon as Tongtong went out, she locked the door from the inside.
Hey! This old lady.
After settling in, all that was left in the house was the straw mat on the kang. She closed the door and went out directly. She passed through the alley and passed the sight of those rogues again. After turning a corner, she entered a grocery store and bought some
One pound of salt and one pound of oil. Then she came out neatly, and sure enough, there were no more rogues. Then she hurried home and came face to face with the rogues. She gave way, and these people cursed.
I guess I didn't get anything and I'm angry.
Tongtong went back, put down the salt and oil, picked up the stick and chased out, "...How dare you steal our house! Tell me! Where did you hide my things?"
This shrew's voice came out before anyone came over.
All the residents in the alley came out. They wanted to see the excitement, but they didn't dare. They shrank in and looked through the crack in the door. They were quite worried about this wife! Who knew that this wife was very aggressive and beat these people with a stick?
! And the second thing is that it was aimed at the head. If it hadn't missed and hit the shoulder, it would probably have been fatal.
This was fatal, and these people became angry. But it was an evil sect. The four big men looked like they had not had enough to eat, and they couldn't defeat an old lady. This was a good fight, and several people were stunned!
I really knelt down and said, "Auntie, we are ignorant, but we really didn't take anything from your house. There is nothing at home!"
No? "What if I don't have anything at home? I'll just go out and buy some salt. Who else enters the alley except you?"
This is hard to explain!
Several people cursed and swore, "If we find out who stole it later, we will send it to my aunt."
OK! That’s it for today. We still have to keep these people to spread our reputation.
When Si Ye came back, he felt that everyone he met nodded and bowed to him, which was extremely polite! He thought to himself, this man depends on his clothes and his horse relies on his saddle. Look, no one respects his clothes first and then others.
When I came back, my house seemed to have changed, everyone was getting organized.
There is a thicker layer of straw mat on the bed, and there is also an extra bamboo mat, which is bare, but still suitable for sitting on. There is an old kang table on the mat. Where did you get this?
There is a larger square table next to the kang, with two rickety benches. On the table are chipped teacups and teapots. There is also a new toona wood vegetable basket and a polished kitchen knife.
Tongtong used a rolling pin to roll out the dough on the wooden pillar, "Noodles are not good, but you can pull out the dough slices. Let's eat noodles today!"
"...Okay!" How much money did this cost?
Tongtong chuckled, "It didn't cost anything, it was all given by the neighbors! We said that we would come and go often in the future, and we would take care of each other. They were all things that everyone didn't use, so they were cleaned and brought to us. They had to be given.
, I’m too embarrassed not to accept it. I’ll return the favor when I get it later.”
Is that so? Hmm!
Si Ye then asked: "Did you go out wearing a long robe and mandarin jacket to be seen by everyone?" He found that he had not settled down and was willing to communicate with him?
Tongtong responded vaguely and immediately changed the subject, "...What's going on today? Is it still okay? Where can I have lunch? If not, just come back for lunch. It's not too far."
Well! It's the first day today. I'm familiar with the time. I'll come back as soon as I can.
The two of them talked about his school over there and got distracted! But Tongtong secretly thought that everyone around him knew how powerful he was, and these gangsters in their circle probably also thought of him.
Their reputation has spread. Is it necessary to keep these people?
No more! We need to ask people to drive these people away! At least we need to let them know that they can't stand here.
But who can drive them away?
Tongtong made a plan in her mind, and as soon as Si Ye was sent away the next day, she went for a walk in front of the police station.
The street is so big, people in uniforms are coming and going, and you can tell where they are at a glance. She took her time, coughing all the way, and sure enough, it was only when the sun was high that she saw the man with the mole on his face.
This guy came to work on an errand. She didn't leave, but sat at the door of a silk shop. She could see the door over there. Before noon, this guy came out again, in small groups. This was where he was going to have a drink.
Bar.
Sure enough, someone invited me. I guess he had something to ask the grandson to do. He stood waiting at the door of the restaurant, bowing his hands in a very flattering manner.
She stood opposite the restaurant for another hour, and the grandson came out with a lot of things in his hands. He must be going home, otherwise where would he put these things?
Tongtong bought a basket from the street and carried it on her back, and followed the boy all the way. He turned to a small alley full of blue brick houses and watched him go to the innermost part, and then entered a house.
She thought it was a dead end at first, but considering that a bastard like this wouldn't leave no escape route. This place couldn't be a dead end.
Sure enough, outside the walls of the two innermost courtyards, there was a small passage that could only allow one person to pass. She stayed in Xiaoli. This grandson would never go here except in case of emergency. With a block in front and behind, he had no way out.
Already.
As expected, the grandson didn't have long to go in and came out again. Then he strolled down the main alley, preferring to take a detour rather than take a shortcut.
There was no one in the alley at the moment. Maybe it was because the world was in chaos and every house was closed. Tongtong reached out and opened the door of this house. The iron wire fell from those gangsters.
As soon as the person entered, he stretched out his hand from the crack in the door to lock the lock again, and then closed the door tightly. When he walked into the house, he found that the yard was neat and tidy, and the room was neat, but everything on display was inaccessible.
.80% of the houses in this house have hidden compartments.
Her eyes fell on the square table. There were drawers behind the drawers. This kind of thing should be relatively common. She fumbled to open it, and sure enough she found more than a dozen silver dollars and a mess of gold and silver jewelry. The material was not good, but it was genuine after all.
Collected them all! There was a box next to the bed in the bedroom. When she opened the box, the copper coins in it were all loose money. She took the box with her. Then her eyes fell on the bed. There were usually dark grids on the bed. She opened it and was stunned for a moment.
, inside is not money, but the police station's seal and special paper, which should be used for issuing various certificates.
You can't take this thing away, just cover up a few and keep it for now. We'll talk about it when needed.
She placed them exactly as they were. As soon as she looked away, she found a few suspicious marks on the round table in the middle of the table. She placed the stool on the table, and the table legs fit tightly to cover the marks.
Yes! When he came back, he must have put the stool on the table to load the rafters! She also stepped on it and touched something wrapped in cloth. She took it off and took a look. She saw two gold bars, but they were small gold bars, one or two.
Heavy specifications and average quality.
Collect it! She came down and put everything in its place.
In a small county town, there was only so much he could covet. I don’t know what the gift he brought back was, but it was still in the cabinet. Tongtong put it in the basket. Let’s go now!
If he didn't go through the gate, the grandson would definitely have a way out! Go to the backyard, and under the wall of the courtyard, there is an upside-down water urn. On the side of the water urn, there is a large wooden pillar.
He put the wooden pillar on the water urn and climbed over the wall directly. Tongtong went up, but then he thought, if I am someone who is ready to run away at any time, if it is too late to take the gold and silver I have hidden,
What should we do? We must have a backup plan on the way out!
Glancing at the brick wall, there was a brick directly above the water urn that looked like the plaster had fallen off. She reached out and picked it up, and the brick came right out. It was empty and looked like a ball of rotten cotton had been stuffed inside.
The cotton dumplings were untied, and there were two small gold bars in each one and an envelope of silver dollars.
As soon as Tongtong threw it into the basket, a thought suddenly came to her mind: How can you get ahead of me in this matter?!
She was proud that the trip went very smoothly and she went home directly. It was getting late when she got home. Where was such a basket of things hidden?
She heard Si Ye greeting people outside. She was anxious and opened the kang hole. She stuffed the gold and silver inside first, and the remaining package of gifts was not opened yet. Then Si Ye opened the door and came in...
