After settling down with Shen Shangzhi, Fang asked Uncle Ma in a low voice, "Didn't Dafu come back with you?"

Uncle Ma San smiled and said, "He and Gao Sanhu have something to do and will be back soon."

Something's wrong?

Seeing Uncle Ma smiling like an old fox, Lin Ruyu rolled her eyes and lowered her voice and said, "Did Uncle throw the jar on the water?"

Uncle Ma San's smile became even wider, "The name Dafu is really not for nothing! When he went out, he said he was looking for salt. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect him to find a wicker box floating on the water, with eight jars in it. Because the fermented bean curd was lined with straw, none of the jars were broken! I brought back a jar and hid the rest. When I went up the mountain to the temple, Dafu and Gao Sanhu threw the rest into the water."

Thinking of the scene at that time, Ma Sanshu exclaimed twice again before continuing, "I originally thought of taking back four cans and dividing them among each hospital, and hiding the remaining four cans properly. But from a distance I saw the blind man Ma Er. I was helping people hold the planks and paddle them ashore, and then I had an idea and came up with this idea."

"Uncle San is still smart!" Lin Ruyu stretched out her thumbs and gave Uncle Ma two big thumbs up.

This is a very good idea. It is summer now, and after the flood, there are delicacies and game in the mountains that can satisfy hunger, but there is no substitute for the salt that is indispensable to the human body.

Everyone wants to survive. The dozens of people who live in the Guanyin Temple are afraid of and tolerant because of the bad reputation of Ma Er Blind Man and his gang, but they will definitely not give up these six jars of fermented bean curd to Ma Er Blind Man. Can they? Most of the people who survived the flood were young and middle-aged people. As long as a few dozen people hugged each other in a group, Ma'er Blind Man's group was not enough.

The development of the matter was exactly as Uncle Ma San expected. After two sticks of incense, Gao Sanhu ran back to the temple with Dafu and gloated to everyone, "Six jars of fermented bean curd are picked up and five jars are used, and the two blind people are blind." They were used to being overbearing, so they went down and robbed one of the altars, and the people in the temple started fighting with them. Finally, someone came forward to unite, and each side got two altars."

Zhao Lu felt distressed, "If the jar floats away, no matter who picks it up, it can save lives. Why did you break the jar?"

"So everyone is annoyed," said Senior High School Tiger, "but if it is broken and can be put away, it has also been put back."

This morning, the fragrance of fermented bean curd floated everywhere in the Guanyin Temple. Everyone in the east and west courtyards and the main hall were eating contentedly and laughing happily, but the backyard was quiet. No one dared to speak loudly for fear of offending the blind man Ma Er and getting beaten. .

After dipping the snatched fermented bean curd with the snatched raw bamboo shoots to fill his stomach, Maer Blind Man still couldn't get rid of his anger.

After the flood, Blind Man Ma Er and his men hid on the second floor of the gambling house. When the water level rose, the second floor was flooded. They had to climb to the roof. They hid in fear for a day, and finally arrived carrying a piece of wood when they were hungry and thirsty. At the fire viewing platform, I robbed the people inside to eat and stayed up for two more days. Finally, it cleared up this morning, and then I hugged the plank and floated a few miles to the Guanyin Temple.

This temple has been his favorite for a long time!

If several brothers hadn't been washed away by the flood, how could he have lost face one after another!

"Second brother——" Fatty He rushed in from outside,

"If you keep making any fucking noise, I'll cut out your tongue right away!" The blind man, who was furious, picked up the porcelain bowl on the table and smashed it hard.

"Bang!" The porcelain bowl hit Fatty He's shoulder and bounced back, falling to the ground and breaking into several pieces.

He San was so fat that it didn't hurt, but he was so frightened that he shrank his neck and didn't dare to say a word.

After a long while, the blind man Ma Er solemnly commanded, "Speak!"

"Yes." He Sanpang lowered his voice and said politely, "I have inquired clearly. In addition to a few people from Wantou Village and Zhaojiawan, the two escorts from Heshun Escort Bureau, and two women in the east courtyard,

Two children, one idiot. Which little girl has a large birthmark on her right eye, just like the girl who went to Taojiazhuang the day before the flood. This little girl rescued a girl and a five or six-year-old child from Taojiazhuang.

, and also took them to Laozhuangtou’s pharmacy to get medicine and see a doctor.”

Ma Wang, who was standing next to Ma Er, took over the conversation, "The person behind Tao Village is Hu Dingcun, the owner of Siman Pawn Shop in Qixian County. Hu Dingcun is the lackey of Magistrate Dong. More than 20 people in the village were all killed.

We, the head of Haolian Village, dare not even fart. What does this mean? It means that the backers of the Dongyuan people are stronger than Magistrate Dong."

"Backer? Huh." Blind Man Ma'er snorted with his nose, staring at the head on the roof of Guanyin Hall with evil eyes, "I'm afraid of him! Send someone to explore tonight and get them in your hands.

That guy, snatched all the money and set it on fire!"

After nightfall, little A Heng, who had been practicing stick stick all day, slept soundly on the bed in the east wing. After Zhao Lu and six others moved into the east courtyard, little A Heng moved to the wing to live with his mother and sister.

The kitchen and main room were packed with people.

Because they guessed that Ma Er Blind Man would come to cause trouble tonight, Fang and Lin Ruyu were lying on the bed, but they could not sleep well. If there was any movement in the yard, they would open their eyes and look at the window of the east wing.

I don't know how much time passed, but Fang yawned and whispered, "Jiaojiao, go to sleep, I'm still busy tomorrow."

"Okay, mother, let's go to sleep." Lin Ruyu responded and glanced at the window again.

Mr. Shen speculated that the blind man in the backyard would send people to visit the east courtyard at night, and the people sent would come down from the roof in the middle of the night.

Therefore, the key point of defense tonight is the second half of the night when people are sleeping most soundly and night watchers are the most sleepy and tired. They will not be able to survive that time.

As the stars change, in the middle of the night, Guanyin Temple is completely silent, with only the sound of running water and the sound of frogs remaining between the sky and the earth.

"Click."

There was a slight sound of roof tiles, and Shen Shangzhi and Shen Ge opened their eyes at the same time and looked at the roof.

Hearing that the sound of tiles was on the roof of the east room, Shen Shangzhi used his bow to hold down Shen Ge who had raised his sword, and motioned him to open the window. Shen Ge raised his sword, silently stepped forward and opened the window, and when he came back, he helped Shen Shangzhi sit up on the bed.

, staring out the window.

Soon, one leg hung down from the roof, and it looked like he was going to jump to the east wall. Before his other leg could fall down, Shen Shang raised his hand, bent his bow, and shot a bamboo arrow with a "swish" sound, hitting the man in the middle of the room.

calf.

"Ouch——"

"Snapped!"

"who?!"

The man in the room screamed and stepped on the tiles on the roof, which alerted Uncle Ma who was on duty in the courtyard. Uncle Ma shouted and led people to rush out of the window of the east room. In the east wing, Fang and Lin Ruyu were also arrested.

I woke up with a start and stood up with my stick in hand.

After a while, Uncle Ma came to the window of the east wing and lowered his voice and said, "Sister-in-law, did you wake up with a fright? It's okay, sister-in-law, please sleep peacefully."

"Thank you for your hard work, uncle." Fang responded softly, lying back on the bed with her daughter, and whispered, "Mr. Shen's prediction is really accurate, please sleep well."

In the east room of the north courtyard, Shen Ge looked at Shen Shangzhi with burning eyes, his admiration beyond words.

Shen Shangzhi smiled and patted his shoulder, "Nothing will happen tonight. If you have anything to ask, we can lie down and talk slowly."
