Chapter 227 His actions obviously have many traces
Hu Biaozi turned to us and said apologetically: "I am entertaining you two today. The real banquet will be held tomorrow morning. It just so happens that the Thirteenth Concubine has to take care of Old Gang Leader Cao tonight, so I apologize for the inconvenience. Please forgive me.
Brother, let me have a drink with you all."
Na Jintang and I looked at each other, but we didn't expect that the plan had changed. We didn't expect that things happened so suddenly, which caught us off guard. Are they avoiding something? Then I'll show them off. Anyway, this matter
It can be postponed until tomorrow.
Although there are no guests present, this dinner can be very rich. Each dish is accompanied by a corresponding wine. It is said that it is a 20-year-old cellar in the village, and it has been used to entertain distinguished guests.
The first dish is the famous local gourd shreds, paired with fresh mushrooms. This is a pure natural green food. Although it may seem simple, it is the most authentic farmhouse dish.
The second dish was roasted whole lamb, served with a variety of fresh vegetables, which made my mouth water.
Then the third dish is a crispy and refreshing river shrimp and crab, with various prepared sauces on the back. The soy sauce is a local specialty. It is said that just soy sauce can finish a bowl of rice.
During the banquet, Hu Biaozi accompanied Na Jin'er and drank several drinks until everyone got into the mood.
He looked at the Jintang respectfully, like a complaint or a complaint: "Little boss, you don't know something. Since the old gang leader Cao fell ill, all the big and small things in the village have become trivial.
It’s all done by my thirteenth concubine, day and night, and we can’t live without her on this mountain.”
When he said these words, his eyes wandered for a moment. The two of us who were observers reacted that he was really not a good actor. There were obviously many traces of his movements and there were too many pretentious elements.
.
Of course none of us saw any of this.
Na Jintang is a veteran of various schools in this regard. He also frowned and expressed his understanding of the current situation: "It is really the strongest among women to allow a weak woman to support such a large cottage... But I heard
Did you say that the old gang leader Cao has a son? Why can't he come out to take charge of this role? How can we let a weak woman be frightened?"
Hu Biaozi felt that Jintang had followed what he wanted, and said anxiously: "Isn't it true? The young master has also been addicted to opium and women's sex recently. His body has been paralyzed for a long time, and he can't do anything at all.
There are no Qingming people to manage such a huge village. Thinking about the foundation of our village for more than a hundred years, we can't just ruin it. Now the sun is really setting. In addition, the body of the old gang leader Cao is also gradually recovering, so
Our entire village is in seclusion, and most of us were disrespectful to the young boss yesterday. In fact, we are worried that our former enemies will find their way here, so we have to take precautions."
Na Jintang drank a glass of wine, patted him on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "This depends on you, brother, so I don't know that the second in command of Hu Biaozi is loyal to the old gang leader Cao, and to the entire village.
It's rare to be honest and sincere when you don't think about food and tea. Be a good brother and help the Thirteenth Concubine. She is a weak woman, but she can't support this. Without the support of brothers, how can she support such a big situation."
This sentence directly clicked in Biaozi's heart. He was so happy that he drank wine happily and gurgled. She had no prestige and simply regarded Na Jintang as his brother. He was red
His face was burping with wine.
I wanted to laugh when I saw how he was losing his composure. But he was very interesting, but now he still had some doubts. He leaned forward, suppressed his voice, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, little boss, for thinking so highly of my brother."
, Mrs. Thirteenth is really suffering, she is suffering in her heart, if such a big village was destroyed in her hands, how could she face the old gang leader Cao, I admire Mrs. Thirteenth the most in the world,
Such a strong woman treats herself completely like a man. My brother can't bear to see it in his heart..."
Looking at his thief-minded appearance, and the gentleness on his face when he talks about the Thirteenth Concubine, no one can be deceived by that demeanor of being addicted to feelings.
My sixth instinct told me that there must be a problem between him and his thirteenth concubine.
Na Jintang patted his shoulder mysteriously: "But we will all support you!"
When Hu Biaozi heard this, he looked at Na Jintang with admiration. He picked up the wine and drank two large cups. He looked at the two of us with great envy: "Just
I don’t envy mandarin ducks, but I see my eldest brother and his wife in law living in harmony and loving each other, which really makes others anxious. I wonder when I, Hu Biaozi, who has been single for 30 years, will find my happy little wife?”
There is obviously something in the words, and it is completely testing our feelings.
I also pretended to sigh: "A good person like you will definitely get married. Maybe your beauty is near you, but you have to cherish the person in front of you."
"The person in front of me?" Hu Biaozi suddenly woke up and looked at me blankly. His eyes seemed to have the most sincere eyes on me, and his sinister eyes flashed past, as if he was struggling with something.
I pretended to be innocent and said: "It's the people in front of me. I see that you have many good young beauties inside, and there are many good girls down the mountain. How many of them want to be worthy of someone like you?"
, this is called not being able to find someone with a lantern.” My principle is to flatter someone even though they are wearing a lantern. From the corner of my eye, I saw the corners of Na Jintang’s mouth tilted.
After hearing this, Hu Biaozi was very satisfied. He felt good about himself, as if his glorious image had become taller. He sincerely clasped his fists and said: "I really hope to find my true lover one day, regardless of whether she is married or not.
, if I am willing, if two people truly love each other, nothing is a big deal."
Wait, his key word is that a married woman can be considered his true love, the obvious answer is ready to come out.
Hu Biaozi's eyes searched my face for a long time, as if he was looking at me and I knew his secret.
I gave him a very innocent expression, took a deep breath, and looked at you for your serious answer: "What's wrong? Are there bugs on my face?"
Then he laughed again, and my troubled heart finally relaxed.
When we finished breakfast, Hu Biaozi treated us as friends. I guess he wanted to seek strength from a third party. If there was a third party to support him, his position in this cottage would be more secure.
At this time, I wanted to express my interest and a little disappointment: "I heard that your village is very beautiful, can I go out for a walk? I heard that there are high mountains and wolves, and there will be a lot of delicacies and game.
There are a lot of weird and weird things, I really want to explore them.”
Standard was relaxed at this moment, but in fact, his mentality must be strict: "You can go around, but you can't break into the highest building on the mountain. You also know that is also a restricted area for our cottage, so
It is a rule set by Mr. Hu. None of us dare to break this rule. It is clearly stipulated, and even I myself have never been there." He said very strictly.
"Oh, I see, there must be a lot of gold and silver treasures. This is the lifeblood of your copycat treasure. We will definitely not touch it. Don't worry, the more prepared you are, the better. The more it will attract the peeping of outsiders, the more outsiders will
It's like a treasure hunt as you go inside. You still have to be on guard against it. You are talking more and more absurdly. You don't know how many people in the world are going to inquire about this news." I said it as if I was jokingly discussing it with him.
A smile appeared on Hu Biao's lips: "There have been thieves trying to steal my fake treasure three times. The first one was bitten to death by our dog, the second one suffered serious self-mutilation, and the third one was caught and quartered by five horses. We
Every room in this cottage is indestructible." His words were full of confidence.
"We can rest assured about this. It will be absolutely fine with you here." She said to him confidently.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, as if I didn't realize that we knew these inside stories. This was just our guess. No one dared to be sure about this until we got more evidence.
Thinking about it, Hu Biaozi cannot only achieve this position, nor is he half a bucket of water as imagined. If he didn't have a pound and a half, he really wouldn't be able to do this.
He sent us to the door of the guest room, cupped his fists and said: "Little boss, have a good rest, and we will have a good talk tomorrow morning. We have prepared a rich game for you to eat on the road. It is getting late and the dew is heavy. What's the matter?"
If you need anything, just call."
Then he added: "Don't go out and walk around easily at night, because there are a lot of wild animals on our mountain. We have set up a lot of traps on the mountain, and these traps are deadly. Please don't go out and walk around easily.
We are thinking about your safety. If the young lady wants to go out to play tomorrow morning, I will definitely arrange for someone to accompany you. This is not a bad idea."
I looked at his smile and said, "Thank you very much for the reception from Mr. Hu Biaozi, but I may not be in the mood tomorrow morning. I usually sleep in at this time in the morning, and I will talk to you when I need it.
Can you see it?"
Hu Biaozi raised his head and laughed: "Young madam is really*, like the woman here, she prepared breakfast for her man early in the morning. I didn't expect the appellant to be so happy and envious. Our ten
Auntie Nian has to take care of Gang Leader Hu every night, so she doesn’t have that much time."
I saw the corners of Na Jintang's lips curl up.
Biaozi clasped his fists and said: "I won't disturb you anymore, have a good rest. Farewell!"
"Excuse me, please go slowly."
Watching Hu Biaozi's retreating figure, Na Jintang and I closed the door, and I couldn't wait to say: "I found out that he had been constantly inquiring about our situation last night, and I found out that he was with Aunt Thirteen
The relationship must be unusual and there must be something wrong." I analyzed the current situation like a detective.
Na Jintang snorted coldly: "I will go to inquire about the situation tomorrow. I see that until today, the thirteenth concubine and the old gang leader Cao who are the main guests have not appeared. I am very worried about their problems. I hope it is not with me.
Speculating.”
"It's possible. Should we go upstairs to the detective building tonight? Maybe this is an opportunity." I asked Na Jintang excitedly.
Na Jintang raised his lips and said with a smile: "If you want to go see it today, I will accompany you, but it is best to wait until after 12:00 in the evening for us to take action. They are watching us now, so we can just have a good time
Take a nap and regain your energy before going."
I felt a little worried: "He said there was a Tibetan Mastiff biting someone there. This is a huge problem. It doesn't mean that you can't beat the Tibetan Mastiff. I'm afraid the Tibetan Mastiff is still like a tiger, and it is still a bit dangerous to subdue it."
Na Jintang said calmly: "After you have a good sleep, this method will naturally solve the problem."
My eyes lit up: "Can you beat it to death?"
Na Jintang sometimes likes to show off in front of me: "Don't worry, my dear wife, after you have a good sleep, you will have the answer to everything."
"Okay, I'll wait for you and see what latest news you can give me."
