After that it was time to rest in the main room in the front yard.
The servants of the Zhu family were busy working enthusiastically. They were naturally happy that the matter was settled and the Zhu family was safe and sound.
I rested for a while, and Butler Zhu came to me with a tray. Lying quietly in the tray was a large yellow croaker!
After handing the tray to me, Butler Zhu thanked me again and again.
While saying it was okay, I carefully put the big yellow croaker into the big black wooden box, and also put the other important things on me into it, leaving only a few big coins in it, and I suddenly felt uneasy. few.
After the Zhu family had finished all the chores and some husbands went to the backyard to hold funerals, a banquet was set up in the front yard.
The head of the Zhu family thanked me profusely for accompanying me to dinner, and he told me that if I have any trouble in the future and he can help me, if someone comes to Gaixian County to notify the Zhu family, he will definitely help me deal with it immediately!
In addition, there was Zhu Yunyun on the table.
The head of the Zhu family arranged for Zhu Yunyun and me to apologize and make amends. Zhu Yunyun remained expressionless and lowered her head.
She will do whatever the head of the Zhu family says.
After being wronged and apologizing, I felt much better. I also warned Master Zhu with my eyes and reminded him to be careful.
But after all, the head of the Zhu family is the head of the family, and he controls such a big business. Zhu Yunyun is just a woman, so as long as he is serious about it, nothing will happen again.
After a meal, I drank two glasses and was full.
Later, the head of the Zhu family said that he would arrange for me to rest for a night and send me back tomorrow. I waved my hand and refused.
He didn't stay long, and immediately arranged for Zhu Guang to prepare a carriage to take me back to Jiuhe County.
When we got on the carriage, it was probably when we first arrived in Haishi, and Gai County and Jiuhe County were never close to each other.
When it was half past midnight, we finally returned to the dock in Jiuhe County.
Zhu Guang asked me where I lived, and I gave him directions, and the carriage headed towards the Funeral Street.
When they arrived outside the funeral street, it was obvious that both Zhu Guang and the coachman were shocked.
I got out of the car with a smile and thanked them too.
After Zhu Guang humbly returned my greeting, the coachman drove away quickly.
The cold wind blew on my face, and I felt a bit drunk, even though my face was still ironed.
But I was in a good mood. I tightened the straps of the big black wooden box and the backpack, and walked towards the street.
It's been almost two or three days since I came out, and my second uncle must be extremely worried.
But when he sees the big yellow croaker I earned, his jaw will definitely drop!
It rained during the day, but the night sky was much clearer at night, with a full moon and stars.
Just walking around makes me feel a little weird...
Logically speaking, the funeral street is very short, and I've been walking for a quarter of an hour. Why haven't I arrived at the paper shop promised by the paper man?
The air is very quiet, and under the moonlight, the sight around the street is also very clear...
My eyelids twitched wildly uncontrollably, and when I saw it clearly, I realized that I had just entered the street not far away...
I walked at most one-third of the entire street!
Am I that drunk? Running in circles? At that time, I felt excited.
The cold wind is even colder. This blow stirred up goosebumps all over my body...
Because of the strong drink, my head was still a little dizzy and even aching.
I shrank my neck and rubbed my arms. The cold silence already made me feel like I had seen a ghost.
Keeping my head down, my feet moved faster, almost jogging forward.
But as soon as I ran out more than ten meters, I saw someone squatting on the roadside.
His whole body was huddled together, his neck was crooked, his head was drooped, and I couldn't see his face.
After all, this is a man, and his upper body is still unclothed. On this cold November day, he is shivering all over from the cold...
I stopped instinctively, frowned and said to him: "Brother Laoguan, why are you squatting outside with your shirt off so late at night? I'm afraid it's necessary."
The man shrank his shoulders and shook even more violently. I even heard the sound of teeth chattering.
"No...no money...money."
"Give it to...the black-hearted...boss...is greedy." He did not raise his head, but still folded his arms and continued to tremble...
I frowned, but felt compassion for a moment.
These days, the life of the poor is as thin as paper, but the wealthy businessmen still like to exploit the workers.
It is very common for workers to be deducted from their wages.
It's just that even the clothes were stripped off, which is rare, and it's so cold in such a cold weather...
I was still a little drunk, and even felt a slight tightness in my chest, feeling that my heart was sinister.
After rummaging around in my pocket, I took out two big coins, squatted down, put them next to the man's arm, and touched them lightly.
He flipped his left hand and quickly took the money. His little finger and ring finger pressed the money tightly, while his index finger, middle finger and thumb held my cuff tightly. He trembled and said: "Reward ...a gift of clothes..."
My body stiffened, and at this moment, the man suddenly raised his head.
He stared at me with wide eyes, and his whole face turned blue...
Is this frozen too?
At that moment, I thought this was too weird.
Moreover, his face looked a little familiar, as if I had seen him before.
It's just that my head hurt a little at this time, and there was a sense of blankness in my head. I couldn't remember where I had seen him!
He held my cuff tightly, and his expression began to become ferocious.
Somehow, I couldn't control my hands. I put down the big black wooden box and the backpack and started to take off my clothes.
By now I already knew there was a problem...
My eyes widened and I tried to bite my tongue, but I couldn't control my body...
Like a puppet on strings, he took off his clothes.
The man quickly snatched it away and put it on himself.
Suddenly, his fierce and ferocious expression turned expressionless.
All of a sudden, it gave me a chill in my heart.
I recognized it immediately. Isn't this the man who came to the paper shop in the middle of the night a few days ago? !
He gave him a lot of money and said he wanted to send the skin to Shuimo Lane.
As a result, when Paperman Xu came back, he said that the dead man was so good at planning that he wanted a piece of skin for a few big bucks.
Obviously, Paperman Xu's attitude was because he felt that he was being taken advantage of...
I didn't ask much at the time, but it was obvious that the paper man Xu was not going to give anything.
Moreover, Paperman Xu even told me not to lend clothes to others!
Now that I thought about these things clearly in an instant, I felt like my heart was filled with panic.
Logically speaking, I shouldn't be so careless...
It was because he was drunk, and when he came in, the funeral street itself was a bit weird. It must have been this man's fault!
My thoughts suddenly settled, and sweat broke out on my forehead.
Because right now, despite all my efforts, I still can’t move my body...
It's just like a ghost!
The man stared at me and said abruptly: "You are a black-hearted boss and a heartless little bastard. If you cheat and don't pay back your money, you will be punished!"
"In three days, I'm going to skin you and send it to the old place, or I'll wear your skin!" After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the funeral street.
The sound of tiny footsteps gradually disappeared from my ears. The veins on my forehead were beating wildly, and my temples were shaking all the time.
When the footsteps disappeared, I suddenly felt my body go weak, staggered, and almost collapsed to the ground.
I barely managed to hold on to the big black wooden box to stand still, and looked towards the street exit with a pale face. I felt very weak.
I quickly picked up the things and walked towards the paper shop in a hurry.
At this moment, my feet were still a little weak, and I had to concentrate to walk steadily.
This time, the funeral street was much more normal. You could hear the normal sound of wind, rustling, and even a slight chirping of insects.
Half an hour later, I arrived outside the paper shop.
At this time, the paper-making shop was lit by dim candle lights. Behind the wooden table, the paper man Xu was making paper-making. There were several paper-making figures beside him, and he was still making one in his hand.
Although the paper is faceless, he did it really well.
Panting and looking shocked, I called Uncle Xu.
The paper man Xu raised his head and looked at me. There was a smile on his face that was as white as paper.
"Yin Yang? Your second uncle said you went to do something. It's only been two or three days, right? Are you back?"
Obviously, the paper man Xu looked surprised, and his voice was still high-pitched.
I pursed my lips and quickly walked into the shop. My face became even paler. I didn't answer his words, but said, "Uncle Xu... I'm in trouble..."
Paperman Xu's expression did not change, but he still said with a smile: "Go and do things by yourself, you can do it just once, don't be afraid of trouble, your second uncle just came back from his affair, and he was drinking in the backyard, call him out, you say Tell me, we two old guys can help you."
I tried not to laugh, and said in a bitter voice that it was not the trouble I encountered when I went out to do errands.
Immediately afterwards, I told what happened to the man I met on the street just now...
Before I could finish speaking, Paperman Xu’s face turned pale.
