The more anxious you are, the more things go wrong. Xu Ling was worried that something might happen to Xu Ping and Xu An, so he was busy looking for boats to Lingbao Town at the dock. Unexpectedly, those boats had either just departed or would not leave until late at night.
Xu Ling was so anxious that he searched for a long time at the dock. Finally he found a ship that was loaded with goods and was about to ship. He quickly paid for it and got on it.
By the time he arrived at the small courtyard, it was already getting slightly brighter. Seeing that there was no one in the alley, Xu Ling pushed the cart filled with pears out of the space and knocked on the back door of the courtyard.
"Xu Ping Xu An, I'm back, open the door for me!"
Xu Ping and Xu An didn't dare to sleep all night, clinging to each other. They heard a familiar voice coming from the backyard, and they were a little worried that it was the evil plot of Wang Zhu and his wife.
After waiting for a while, I suddenly heard Liu Niang's voice. It was she who opened the door for her eldest brother.
Just listen to Liu Niang say: "Brother Xu, why did you come back? The two children are probably still asleep at home. Let's go to the tea shop to rest and drink some hot tea."
Xu Ling didn't expect that it was Liu Niang who opened the door for him. He smiled and said, "You got up very early. How are Xu Ping and Xu An?"
Liu Niang's face looked a little unnatural. She was afraid that Xu Ling would see the injury on her face, so she applied a lot of powder on her face. She said: "It's fine."
Then he helped Xu Ling push the cart into the yard.
The morning light was dim, the bamboo shadows were whirling, and the atmosphere was a little stiff for a while.
Xu Ling felt something was wrong, but he didn't know why.
He first parked the cart in the yard and was about to knock on the door to wake up his younger brothers and sisters when Liu Niang stopped him and said, "Don't wake them up. Brother Xu, please talk to me."
It was actually a look of pleading.
At this time, Xu Ping and Xu An in the room couldn't bear it anymore. They quickly moved the things blocking the door and shouted to Xu Ling at the door: "Brother! Don't believe her! She is a bad woman. If you want to I'm trying to trick Wang Zhu into using the recipe in your hand!"
Xu Ling was startled and looked at Liu Niang not far away. His thoughts were changing in a thousand ways. He thought of many things in an instant, such as the horse dealer he met on Matou Street that day, and the day Liu Niang was beaten and he went to persuade him to do so. Shi Wangzhu's reaction.
He didn't even doubt the authenticity of what his younger brother and sister said.
Liu Niang didn't expect that the two children would actually know the truth. A bitter smile appeared on her face, and she hid her face and said: "Brother Xu..."
"Liu Niang, is it true?"
"Brother Xu, I can't help you. Don't be angry with me. I won't hide it from you. Wang Zhu insists on your recipe for making sugar. Now that things are exposed, I'm afraid he won't let it go."
Liu Niang laughed mockingly: "But don't worry, I coaxed him to eat something last night and he fell asleep. What I wanted to tell you myself was just..."
"Go quickly and take your brothers and sisters out of here."
th.
Liu Niang stayed up all night. She had already planned to fight Wang Zhuyu to death and refused to deceive Xu Ling again.
Although Xu Ping and Xu An were the first to speak, my heart felt relaxed.
Xu Ling's mood was very complicated. Isn't this just a fairy dance?
He didn't expect that one day he would meet Xianren Tiao! Oh my God, he just said that he was ordinary, how could there be beautiful women falling in love with him in any house he rented?
Turns out it was for his money!
Puxinnan is actually himself!
Xu Ling quickly figured out the joint. He couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and said, "Ms. Liu, thank you for telling me this. I will move out as soon as possible."
Liu Niang said anxiously: "No, you should leave quickly before Wang Zhu wakes up!"
Isn't this embarrassing? Wang Zhu is a liar who is setting up a trap. If he is afraid, it should be Wang Zhu who is afraid, right?
With so many things and two children, where could he go at once?
Seeing Xu Ling's confusion, Liu Niang's expression changed again and again, and finally she told the truth.
"Brother Xu, Wang Zhu has killed people before!"
Liu Niang told the truth.
It turns out that the two of them were in an acrobatic troupe. Liu Niang was favored by the class leader because of her beauty, and her classmates were jealous. Wang Zhu had been protecting her, and the two became sworn brothers and sisters. Later, when Liu Niang grew up and became more and more beautiful, the boss wanted to sell her to a brothel. He negotiated a good price with the brothel madam, and called Liu Niang to his room the first night, but he refused to tell her that she was innocent. My body is free of charge to other men.
The team leader was in his sixties, old and ugly. Liu Niang felt sorry for her, but was unable to resist. It was Wang Zhu who set fire to the team at night, broke into the room during the chaos, and stabbed the team leader to death. He took Liu Niang and ran away with the money.
They were originally traveling and performing in the south of the Yangtze River, but after this happened, they went to Lingbao Town to hide their names.
Wang Zhu was a womanizer and a gambler, so the money he stole from the class leader was quickly spent.
He and Liu Niang were originally sworn brothers and sisters, but one day when he was drunk, he raped Liu Niang and they became husband and wife.
He had no money, so he asked Liu Niang to work as a beauty bureau to make a living by defrauding men of their money. At this time, a merchant realized that he had been tricked and was unwilling to pay. He wanted to report it to the official. However, Wang Zhu violently killed him and threw his body into the wilderness. No one found him.
Liu Niang was afraid that Wang Zhu would not be able to deceive Xu Ling, so she attacked him with murderous intent.
He beat her so crazily last night and asked her to trick two children into coming out. He probably wanted to kill someone and silence them.
Liu Niang was beaten all over by him, and she was deeply afraid that he would really harm Xu Ping and Xu An, so she coaxed him to drink wine and sleep, and took the opportunity to drug him into it, so that he could calm down.
Otherwise, how could a grown man give up so easily if he only needs a few kicks to break into a room?
Xu Ping and Xu An opened the door and hid behind Xu Ling with a kitchen knife and stick in hand.
When the three brothers and sisters heard this, they were all quite shocked.
Xu Ling found it even more ridiculous.
Oh my god, living in a modern society governed by the rule of law, she had only heard of murders in the news, and she rarely even saw thieves. But she didn't expect that in time travel, any tenant would be a fugitive with a human life.
Who is not afraid of this!
When Xu Ling thought about the brush with death that he and his younger siblings had, his heartbeat was beating fast and his legs were weak.
Especially the businessman who was killed and then his body was exposed in the wilderness.
Xu Ling didn't doubt the authenticity of Liu Niang's words at all.
Compared with the densely populated cities in my previous life, this place can be described as sparsely populated.
Xu Ling was frightened every time he walked at night. Sometimes he would only encounter one or two villages after walking for a long time.
If someone had evil intentions in such an environment, not to mention killing one or two people, but even killing ten or eight people and burying them in the wasteland, no one would probably notice.
After hearing what Liu Niang said, Xu Ling quickly asked Xu Ping and Xu An to pack their things without saying a word.
"We can't live here, let's leave quickly!"
Liu Niang smiled bitterly and wanted to step forward to help Xu Ling clean up.
Xu Ling subconsciously stood in front of his younger siblings.
Liu Niang looked hurt, "Brother Xu..."
Xu Ling calmed down and said, "Ms. Liu, we can do it ourselves."
