"Listening to what you said, it was indeed not easy all the way." Fatty Zheng Zhui said drunkenly.
"Yeah. It's not easy." After saying that, Sun Chunxu fell on the wooden table with a drunken look.
Seeing Sun Chunxu, who had not drunk much, falling on the table, the fat man Zheng Zhui smiled slightly and fell on the table together.
Seeing the two men fall on the table, Li Xiran, who was once a slave, was used to it.
"Mother." Ziyuan shouted.
After hearing the sound, Li Xiran looked at Zi Yuan aside: "What's wrong?"
"Why is Uncle Xu so happy today?" Zi Yuan said while looking towards Chun Xu.
Xi Ran looked at Chun Xu who was lying drunk on the wooden table. Looking at Chun Xu's appearance, Xi Ran smiled.
Seeing that his mother had not answered him, Ziyuan shouted again: "Mother."
At this time, Xi Ran came back to her senses and looked at Zi Yuan: "What's wrong?"
"Mother. Why is Uncle Xu so happy today?" Zi Yuan asked again.
Looking at Chun Xu's drunken appearance, he recalled Zi Yuan's words: "Your Uncle Xu always wanted to be a carefree young man in the world, but because of you, he has become a common man now."
"For me?" Zi Yuan looked questioning.
"Yes. Because of you, he gave up this wish. To protect the two of us." As he spoke, Xi Ran seemed to fall in love with Chunxu.
"Mom, Uncle Xu is so kind." Zi Yuan said with a slight smile.
Looking at Zi Yuan, who is now nine years old, Xi Ran seems to have seen his filial piety.
Looking out the window, it was getting late and there were no pedestrians on the street. Xi Ran stood up and said, "Zi Yuan, they are drunk. How about we help them back to their bedroom together?"
"Yeah." Zi Yuan stood up together.
The two walked to Chunxu's side, carefully helped Chunxu up, and carried him back to the bedroom step by step.
Chunxu was okay, but when it came to this fat man, the two of them were having a hard time.
With this figure, no strong man of three or four people would be able to lift it.
"Well, don't move." Fatty Zheng Zhui chewed in his mouth.
After hearing this, the two had no choice but to let go.
"Mom. What should we do?" Zi Yuan looked at Xi Ran.
Looking at the fat man, Xi Ran looked around: "Zi Yuan, go upstairs and get the quilt. Since you can't move it, arrange the chairs and let him sleep here."
"Okay." After responding, Ziyuan quickly ran upstairs.
While Xi Ran was lining up on the bench, Zi Yuan, who was only nine years old, came over holding the big quilt on the bed.
"Mom. The quilt is here."
"good."
After a simple arrangement, Xi Ran went upstairs with Zi Yuan holding a kerosene lamp.
The kerosene lamp was turned off, the room was dark, and everyone fell asleep.
"Coo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo!" the owl hooted.
In the middle of the night, the fat man Zheng Zhui, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes.
He looked around at the darkness, shook his head slightly, and then stood up.
It was pitch black, but fortunately there was moonlight, which allowed him to see a little clearly.
His mind was groggy and his walking behavior was abnormal.
After groping all the way, the fat man Zheng Chui walked up the stairs.
Then, a loud snoring sound was heard.
Looking at the two closed doors, the fat man Zheng Zhui pushed towards one of the doors.
They saw Zi Yuan sleeping soundly on the bed, and Li Xiran lying on his side outside.
The fat man Zheng Zhui walked forward drunkenly, looked at the wooden cabinets, and carefully opened the drawers to look for something.
After searching for a long time, the fat man Zheng Zhui looked at the two people lying on the bed, carefully opened the cushions, and looked for them. After searching for a long time, he still couldn't find them.
Fortunately, the two of them were sleeping soundly and did not notice the fat man Zheng Zhui's every move.
The fat man had no choice but to quietly leave the room and head towards another room.
After opening the door, I saw that there was only a wooden table with nothing in the room.
Seeing this, the fat man Zheng Chui thought to himself: He talked so much while drinking, how come he didn't see any silver?
Now, the fat man Zheng Zhui had no choice but to touch Chunxu's bed again.
Sure enough, all the money was hidden here.
However, seeing that there were only two pieces of silver, the fat man Zheng Chui felt a little disgusted.
Something is better than nothing. Fatty Zheng Chui stretched out his hand.
By chance, Chunxu turned over and suppressed the two pieces of silver.
"I sleep so hard, so I'm not afraid of losing my money." Zheng Chui complained in his heart.
Seeing Chunxu sleeping so soundly, the fat man Zheng Zhui had no choice but to find a way to get the two pieces of silver.
After thinking about it, the fat man Zheng Zhui cautiously reached out and tried to help Chunxu turn over.
Just when things were about to go smoothly, Chunxu said something in his sleep, which scared the fat man Zheng Zhui and stopped in a hurry.
After it was obvious that he was talking in his sleep, Zheng Zhui took another step forward.
This time, he mustered up more courage, helped Chunxu turn over with one hand, and hurriedly grabbed the two taels of silver with the other.
Fortunately, after the fat man Zheng Chui worked so hard, he finally got the money.
After receiving the money, Zheng Zhui hurriedly walked out of the bedroom and headed towards the first floor.
I don't know whether it was because the moon was blocked by clouds or for some other reason, but when Fatty Zheng Zhui reached the stairs, he planned to climb out of the window. Who knows, he accidentally lost his footing and the fat man rolled down from the top.
Because Zheng Zhui was too fat, there was a heavy layer of dust on the ground. Maybe it was because Xi Ran didn't sweep the floor seriously.
Zheng Zhui's mind immediately became refreshed after the fall. Seeing that there was no movement yet, Zheng Zhui stood up in a hurry and walked towards the window.
Perhaps the fat man's movements were too loud, which woke Xi Ran up in the bedroom.
Xi Ran stood up carefully, walked to the door, and looked at it with a sleepy look, but didn't see anything.
Suddenly Xi Ran yawned and went back to sleep.
Zheng Chui, who had no time to evacuate, saw this and was so frightened that he was sweating. Fortunately, he did not delay his actions.
Enduring the pain, Zheng Chui broke through the window and escaped.
There was no one on the street at the moment, and everything was pitch black.
Zheng Zhui ran all the way with his fat figure, but because he was too fat, he got tired after only a few steps.
When he was tired from running, he walked, and when he was not tired, he ran again. Finally, Zheng Zhui ran around the city gate.
The city gates are closed at this moment, and people are not allowed to leave without authorization.
It was still Yin Shi, and there was still an hour before the city gates opened.
Zheng Zhui had no choice but to hide in the cracks of the house and wait for the city gate to open.
It's only March now, and the wind at night is still a bit desolate.
The fat man Zheng Chui couldn't help but shudder as he slept among a pile of baskets.
After a long wait, Zheng Zhui heard the sound of the city gate opening and hurriedly woke up.
After waking up, looking at the narrow gap full of radish baskets on his back, Zheng Zhui couldn't care less.
He stood up hurriedly, stepped through it, and broke several backdrops.
Fortunately, the owner of this back-luo is not here, otherwise, Zheng Chui would not be able to leave without a reward.
Soon, Zheng Chui successfully left the city gate.
However, at this moment, the kind-hearted family members have not discovered the missing silver taels.
"Where did Zheng Chui go this morning?" Chunxu asked.
After hearing this, Li Xiran, who was busy making steamed buns, said, "You're an adult, maybe you went out to hang out somewhere, and you'll be here soon."
"Yes." Chunxu noticed something strange as soon as he finished speaking.
Seeing a few drops of blood beside the stairs, Chunxu asked hurriedly: "Xi Ran! Did you buy chicken?"
Xi Ran in the fire room was very surprised after hearing this and said: "No. What's wrong?"
Chunxu knelt down carefully, as if investigating a detective, wiped the blood with a finger and smelled it. I found that this blood was new.
"Xi Ran! Did you hear any noise last night?" Chunxu asked again.
"No." After saying that, Xi Ran walked out of the fire room and looked at Chunxu who was very focused.
"Why are you asking these questions?" Xi Ran asked.
"Look, this is blood." Chunxu had already begun to doubt the fat man Zheng Zhui.
Seeing that Chunxu wanted to find out the matter so much, Xi Ran just remembered: "Brother Chunxu. I remembered it. I heard some noise last night, and it was very loud. When I came out, I couldn't see anyone, so I went back to sleep. ”
"Could it be..." Chunxu doubted Zheng Zhui again.
"Could Chunxu suspect that the blood belongs to Zheng Chui?" Xi Ran said.
Chunxu nodded: "It's possible. From the first look at his appearance, I felt it was not simple."
After listening to Chunxu's guess, Xi Ran looked at the early morning sky outside and said, "Go and see if there is anything missing at home. If there is something missing, hurry up and chase after it!"
"Okay, I'll go take a look right now." After saying that, Chunxu stood up hurriedly, and the first thing he looked at was the silver.
Chunxu ran to his bedroom and hurriedly opened the mattress to take a look. I saw nothing.
"Bitch!" Chunxu was furious.
After saying that, Chunxu hurried downstairs.
After Xi Ran saw Chunxu's appearance, he shouted: "What did you throw away?"
"Silver!" Chunxu said while running.
"Silver." Xi Ran repeated it calmly, and then realized something was wrong: "What! Silver!"
After knowing that the money was lost, Xi Ran looked at Chunxu who had already ran out the door, and continued to make steamed buns.
Chunxu was so angry that he ran all the way, his legs running very fast.
However, at this moment, the fat man Zheng Zhui returned to his place.
"Brother, here it is." The fat man Zheng Zhui handed over the two taels of silver he had stolen.
You can see that the place where Zheng Chui is looks like a gathering place for bandits.
This guy looks very tough, with two dark teeth always exposed. He wears very fashionable clothes and a cool hairstyle, which makes him look different from the people outside.
"What! Two liang! What can two liang do! It's not even enough to feed and clothe them!" After saying that, the eldest brother looked at the dozens of subordinates around him.
"You have so much meat, why not kill you to satisfy our brothers' greed?" the eldest brother said with a smile.
For a time, everyone living in this cave was dancing.
This scene frightened Zheng Chui: "Brother! If it's not enough... I'll steal from a bigger family this time?"
"Okay! If you don't steal or the money you steal is too little, I will kill you to fill your stomach!" said the leader.
"Yes, yes, yes." After saying that, Zheng Zhui hurried down the mountain.
This place really seems to be a gathering place for bandits. They all show their teeth and claws, and everyone is afraid of them.
