When we arrived in Tieniu Town, it was already time to hold the lights.
The town is built against the mountains and rivers, with streets traversing through it. The shops and houses on the hillsides on both sides are staggered in sequence, and the lights that are gradually lit up look unique.
However, when Wujiu stood in the courtyard of Ruyi Restaurant, he was still a little depressed.
Sometimes, it is unlucky to be speechless if you can't speak clearly.
Inexplicably, he broke a jade cup and took a huge debt. It was a hundred gold coins, worth thousands of taels of silver. Even if he broke a living person, he could not afford such a price. Fortunately, Liao Cai was still generous. Although he did not complain about the preciousness of the jade cup, he did not force the compensation, but invited him to continue to walk with him. The love and scenery were really hard to refuse. So he rushed here with him.
Ruyi Restaurant is located at the east end of the town, next to the street, and has a small building with three sides and two floors, forming a large courtyard dozens of feet. There is a courtyard door open on one side, and an oil paper lantern with the words "Ruyi" written on it. Standing in the yard, the smell of urine from the stables, the smell of oil smoke from the kitchen, and the inexplicable aroma of powder are coming together, making people feel a little overwhelmed and dizzy. In a vague way, there are also the sound of silk and bamboo and the sound of swaying laughter.
Wujiu looked at the strange place and had a vague guess. He couldn't help but say, "Brother Liao, it's better for me to find another place!"
Liao Cai led people into the yard and whispered to the greeting clerk. After a while, he walked away without looking back, but raised his hand to the row of rooms in the corner of the yard and signaled: "Stay calm for now, let's make arrangements later!"
Wujiu still wanted to argue, and two stout guys ran over to stop him, and his expression was not good, so he was simply trying to force his guests.
Xing'er and Zao'er looked around, looking confused.
Wujiu was too late to leave, frowned, hesitated for a moment, reached out to protect the two girls, tightened the package on his back, took the lead in walking towards the cottage, and put it close to the head of the friend: "I didn't expect that Brother Liao was the shopkeeper of Ruyifang, it was really hard to refuse! What do you call Brother Taiwan..."
The guy called himself Wang Gui and said with a cold face: "Hmph, that's not the shopkeeper, but the housekeeper Liao of Ruyifang!"
Ruyi Restaurant became Ruyi Restaurant. Liao Cai also became Liao butler. What will happen next? I am afraid that everything will not be able to achieve success!
Wujiu disagreed and took the opportunity to chat and laugh with the three friends.
In addition to Wang Gui, the other party, the remaining two were also in their twenties, named Shunzi and Qian Wang respectively. They both sounded quite auspicious, but they were just rough and perverse virtues, and they didn't look like good people.
"Crunch"
The door of the hut opened in response to the sound, and the heat and humidity rushed towards us.
Wujiu grinned and walked into the house with his two children. The oil lamp was lit, and the door closed with a "bang".
Looking at the dim light, the small room was filled with wooden boxes, wine jars, oil tanks and other debris.
This is not a place to rest, it is clearly where the warehouse is located.
Wujiu looked at the closed door and was stunned for a moment. Then he found a wooden box to sit down and put down the package. Seeing Xing'er and Zao'er snuggling with each other, he comforted him: "Since Mr. Liao and you are relatives, they will never have any malicious intentions..."
The two girls had sweat and stains on their faces, and they were still anxious. Xing'er said timidly: "Sir, I was bought from both of them, and I am not a relative of Butler Liao..."
OK, I met a human trafficker.
However, what should Ruyifang do if I locked me up here?
Wujiu Quanwu was infatuated with unpredictable tension, but smiled at the two poor children and said, "You two shouldn't be the elders in your family! Even if life is in a difficult situation, you can't sell your children..."
Xing'er and Zao'er lowered their heads, making them even more miserable and helpless.
Wujiu said more, sighed inwardly, then searched around, stretched his nose and sniffed, got up and opened a wooden box, which contained persimmon cakes, covered with white frost, and a sweet smell. He opened the adjacent box again, which contained fried fruits. He laughed, reached out and grabbed the persimmon cakes and fruits and stuffed them into his mouth, and said, "Xing'er, jujube, don't be polite, eat it..."
The two sisters blinked their eyes and stayed there, not daring to move.
Wujiu was as unscrupulous as if he had arrived at his own home. While eating, he was rummaging through the boxes and muttering to himself: "I dare to imprison me, hum..."
This makes it easier to open the door at this time.
Liao Cai and two friends walked into the house and were stunned. Four or five boxes that were originally arranged were opened, and the food inside was thrown everywhere. Some people stepped on the boxes and climbed upwards. Judging from the situation, they would not give up until the warehouse was turned upside down.
Wujiu was able to hear the movement and slowly got off the box, without any idleness in his mouth, and said in a vague way: "I have to rest here so much... I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but I don't have tea..."
Liao Cai's face was gloomy and he suppressed his anger: "Wouldn't Mr. Wu be so arrogant, insult his kindness?"
Wujiu reached out to wipe the corner of his mouth, and his words became refreshed: "When I was a gentleman, I was always gentle and polite..." He dusted the fruit debris on his body and asked, "But I don't know why Brother Liao locked me up here?"
Liao Cai was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he reached out to take out a piece of paper and a pen, and said ruthlessly: "You ruined my jade cup, but you were unable to compensate. Please sign the document and sell yourself as a slave from now on!" He said this and couldn't help but sneer: "I think you are a scholar, so I will reward you with an accounting errand!"
This sudden change was not without cause. On the way back from the road, Liao Cai accidentally encountered Wujiu. He thought that the other party was a weak and depressed scholar, and he couldn't help but feel bad. So he designed to earn money, but he did not have any effort. You should know that the accountant in Ruyifang went home to recuperate, and at this time there was a lack of someone who knew how to read and keep accounts.
Liao Cai said proudly: "You owe a hundred gold you cannot deny, otherwise I will break your legs!" As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Gui and Qian Wang behind him took a step forward and rolled up their sleeves.
Wujiu stretched out his head and looked at the document drafted in Liao Cai's hand, then looked at the two fierce guys beside him, and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Stop... Since Brother Liao wants to hire a accountant, I'm just saying that, why bother to do this..."
Liao Cai's black face shook, and his smile became colder: "Haha! Ruyifang is a brothel, and he never invites outsiders to be the accountant. Only the slaves can be used as the driver at will!"
Under the dim oil lamp, several faces that were close to each other looked different. Xing'er and Zao'er squeezed into the corner and did not dare to say anything, while Liao Cai and the two friends became more and more arrogant.
Wujiu only felt that the warehouse was stuffy and could not help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
As expected, Ruyifang is a brothel. The so-called accountant is nothing more than a turtle slave. In this way, the two children Xing'er and Zao'er fell into the fire pit!
What a Liao Cai, butler Liao, it turns out that I have planned it for a long time. I have no grudge against you, so I dare to design and frame you like this...
Wujiu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said relievedly: "Since Brother Liao is willing to give a bowl of rice, why bother to tease me like this? I was worried that I had nowhere to settle down, just now..." He grabbed the paper and pen, waved his hand, and then returned it to the other party, and said fortunately: "I hope Brother Liao will take care of you in the future. If you have a beautiful girl, you might as well recommend it. You will get the moon first when you get close to the water, haha..."
He smiled a little excitedly, with a somewhat scattered look.
Liao Cai originally thought that he would have to do something to achieve his wish, but unexpectedly, the scholar in front of him was not only as timid as a mouse, but also a idle and romantic ghost. He raised his body to take a look, sneered, and said, "That's fine, come with me with the package..."
Seeing that Liao Cai and the other two had retreated, Wujiu reached out to grab the package and wanted to follow him, but saw Xing'er and Zao'er snuggling together, and with a panic and helpless look, he paused a moment, raised a finger to his mouth and smiled easily, and then walked out swaying. As soon as he arrived in the yard, his friend Wang Gui had closed the warehouse and locked the door latch.
Liao Cai was already leading the way. In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the eaves of the first floor of the building not far away, and signaled to a room with a vacant door: "Mr. Wu, you live with Wang Gui. After tonight, I will go to see the shopkeeper..." He finished speaking and took his friend Qian Wangyang away.
Wang Gui walked over directly, kicked open the door, and said impatiently: "Please..."
Wujiu turned around and looked at Liao Cai's back, glanced at the warehouse when he came, and turned to smile and said, "It is a great honor to live in the same room with Brother Wang!"
Wang Gui ignored others and looked arrogant.
Wujiu had to walk into the room slowly, and another strange smell came to his nose. He was so frightened that he was staggering. Wang Gui had passed by and fell directly on a wooden couch, raised his feet, pillowed his arms, and looked coldly.
There are two wooden couches in the room, which look spacious. However, with the bright candlelight on the table, the decorations are messy, dirty clothes, torn shoes, and bedding are thrown everywhere, and exuding an inexplicable sour smell.
This is not where people live, it is clearly a pig's nest!
Wujiu saw the scene inside the house and grinned secretly. Helplessly, he walked to the empty bed and put down the package, turned his head and asked, "Brother Wang, can you give me some advice on how to wash?" He had been traveling for a day and was sweating and smelly. Even if he was in a state of unpredictable condition, he had to be refreshed.
Wang Gui rolled his eyes and replied lazily: "Scholars are poor and particular. I only know where to stool and pee..."
Humph, let’s follow the local customs!
Wujiu nodded and smiled bitterly, leaned over to clean the bed for a while, but noticed that his eyes were not far away from his left and right, and clearly showed a guardian posture. He lay down to rest. In a daze, someone walked to the door and called out, "Mr. Wu, the shopkeeper wants to see you..."
It doesn’t mean that I have met the shopkeeper on the day, why did I change my mind again?
Wujiu looked at Liao Cai standing in front of the door, secretly wondered, and did not ask much, slowly walked out of the house, but he said with concern: "My package..."
Wang Gui followed him out, but he kept walking: "Only your possessions are thrown on the street, no one picks up..."
Wujiu had to shrugge and smile awkwardly at Liao Cai. The other party snorted from his nose, turned around and left with his hands behind his back. He hurriedly followed him and took the opportunity to look around.
More than ten feet ahead of the corridor, there was a turning staircase. Following the wooden ladder, "dongdong" upstairs, and then walking through the doors with lights. Suddenly, various sounds of inexplicable sounds came into my ears, making my heart pound. Wait until the movement gradually fades, and the corridor has reached the end...
