leave the wind on the grass

Qiu Xiaofeng came back with a sleepy look, took another bench and sat by the door, and stopped talking.The entire shop was silent, and no one dared to say hello.Li Bucai was standing behind the cabinet, holding the ledger in his hand, turning the pages back and forth, the pages were crackling, while he secretly looked at Qiu Xiaofeng, but he didn't read a single word.Yue Ci greeted those guests back and forth, but later he got annoyed and put on a cold face, and the people around stayed away from him, not daring to provoke him again.

It's just that Qiu Dian hadn't been here today, and seeing that the sky was about to darken again, the south hall of the brothel lit up the lights, and clusters of red lanterns swayed gracefully.

Qiu Xiaofeng returned to the yard, opened the door, and saw Yue Ci wearing a coat as usual, he stepped on the bench with one knee bent, shaking the cattail leaf fan vigorously in his hand.

Qiu Xiaofeng walked up to him without saying a word, "You stole it."

Yue Ci fiddled with the broken lock that blocked the keyhole, without raising his head, he said casually, "You did something wrong yourself, but you don't admit it, and blame it on me."

He was always like this, Qiu Xiaofeng couldn't see any mistakes from his expression, reached out and tapped his brain, his brows furrowed, and he grabbed the skirt of his left hand and kneaded it non-stop.

"Then, who stole that?" Qiu Xiaofeng asked him instead.

Fool.

Yue Ci couldn't help laughing out loud, Qiu Xiaofeng is too naive, he thinks of the best in everything, even if he is framed, he doesn't know how to defend himself, he really is a wonderful person in heaven and earth.

"You stole it." Yue Ci said again.

"I didn't steal it, so I will find out the truth!" Qiu Xiaofeng yelled, and he was thankful, "Fortunately, the thief only stole Jinghua, but he didn't know that Shuiyue was also in the store, otherwise the Golden Thread Clothes Pavilion would be very dangerous." No place to cry."

"There are only flowers in the mirror in this world, where is the moon in the water? I'm afraid you lost your head in a hurry and made a mistake!"

"Today the manager took me upstairs for interrogation. The door was ajar, so I heard Boss Bai talking to someone, saying that Shuiyue was still in the shop, and the manager had to keep it safe." Qiu Xiaofeng thought about it carefully, He clapped his hands, "I couldn't figure out what 'the most dangerous place is the safest', but I was reprimanded later, and I couldn't get any money, so he asked me to work here for five years to pay for the loss. "

Qiu Xiaofeng stomped his feet angrily, stretched out his hands to massage his temples, he seemed to be very tired, and he was tired from heart.After a while, he became confident again, "But this Golden Thread Clothes Pavilion can still stop me, anyway, I didn't steal it anyway, I will find a chance to escape in a few days, what can it do to me?"

"You have a good idea, you are in a hurry, and you just take out a thousand taels of gold to buy your head, and you will be killed within half a day!" Yue Ci gloated.

Qiu Xiaofeng's face turned pale immediately, as if frightened.

Yue Ci was very happy in her heart, hummed a song and went to lie down on the bed, enjoying herself leisurely.

Another day.

Qiu Xiaofeng hadn't seen Qiu Dian coming over for a long time, and Qiu Xiaofeng became more and more suspicious that he stole the mirror flower and ran away, otherwise, with his obsessive appearance, how could he not see him for a few days.

Qiu Xiaofeng greeted the person in charge, asked Li Bucai where he lived, and left the city.After walking for half the morning, I finally found the place. There were plowing fields along the way, and the green sweet potato leaves were like layers of waves, undulating. , Tears and sorrows have already been broken..."

Whether the door is closed or not, there is no way to prevent thieves, all you need to do is push it lightly.

Qiu Xiaofeng walked into the room, and the musty smell in the room made people dizzy and nauseated. When he looked up, he saw the tiles were scattered, and the sun cast mottled bright spots. Qiu Xiaofeng couldn't help but reach out to pick it up and squeeze , the light spot fell on the back of the hand again.

There is a thick spider web on the corner of the wall, and a spider the size of a child's fist crawls on the web and waits for an opportunity to move.

Qiu Xiaofeng pushed open the door of the back room, and the pungent smell became more and more obvious.

I saw Qiu Dian lying upright on the bed, wearing a decent red robe.

Qiu Xiaofeng felt apprehensive, and walked a few steps forward to the bedside.Taking a closer look, I saw Qiu Dian lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his hands flat on his legs, stiff and without a sound.Qiu Xiaofeng tremblingly stretched out his hand to check his breath, but he didn't breathe at all, so scared that he hurriedly moved three steps away and gasped for breath.

dead, dead.

Qiu Xiaofeng recalled the important smells he smelled in the past few days. Could it be that this person was seriously ill, knowing that his time was short, so he lay down here early and waited to die?

Qiu Xiaofeng froze on the spot, not daring to move at all. After calming down, he tried to poke the corpse again.Qiu Xiaofeng is very afraid of ghosts, so at this moment, he muster up his courage and exhaust his life's courage.He raised one of the man's arms, rolled up the sleeve, and saw that there were corpse spots on the lower joint of the arm. He probably died in the past few days. That time, he died after seeing the wedding dress for the last time. .

He was wearing a decent groom's suit, with a red robe added to his body, but his body was as thin as skin and bones, which didn't match him.

When Mo Yue died, he was still thinking about his wife who died young.

Qiu Xiaofeng's courage was finally overwhelmed by the last string, he turned around and ran out of the house, he was out of breath, and even forgot to use his lightness kung fu, he finally breathed a sigh of relief until he could no longer see the house.

It seems that he did not steal the mirror flower.

This thought flashed in Qiu Xiaofeng's mind.

Yet another explanation came to his mind.In case that person stole the mirror flower and hid it, and wanted to bury him with him, it was very possible.

Maybe the wedding dress was hidden somewhere in the room, or under the bed, or just under the body.

Qiu Xiaofeng was so frightened that his teeth chattered, and he was very conflicted. If he couldn't find out the whereabouts of the wedding dress, then the Golden Thread Clothes Pavilion would not give him any good fruit to eat.

He wandered around, not knowing what to do, squatting in the field to play with the red sweet potato, and the green leaves that were about to drip were torn into a mess by him.

Qiu Xiaofeng stood up, gritted his teeth, and thought, I'm going to find out why today!

He plucked up the courage to rush into the house again, and searched the house vigorously. He saw that the house was bare and there was nowhere to hide things. There was no compartment underneath, and there was no trace of breaking the ground. Below that.The only thing that needs to be searched now is the room where the corpse is lying.

Qiu Xiaofeng's heart was beating wildly, and he took off the man's clothes with trembling hands, but he saw that he was wearing a middle coat and inner clothes in a regular manner, and there was no wedding dress hidden inside.Qiu Xiaofeng was afraid that the man would sit up again with a "bang", swallowed a mouthful of saliva, trembling in his heart, he was so frightened to death.

He searched the bed first, but found nothing.I had to look under the bed again.Qiu Xiaofeng lay on the ground, bent over, opened the bed curtain and looked inside.

The light couldn't get in inside, it was pitch black and empty, Qiu Xiaofeng stretched his hand inside again, and found that there was nothing, he didn't know whether he was glad or depressed.

Not long after, he got out from under the bed again, coming out too quickly, his head hit the bed board, there was a loud "bang", and suddenly there was a bump on his head.He crawled backwards, but felt something touch his shoulder.

Qiu Xiaofeng recalled it, his face turned blue with fright, his eyes glanced at a withered hand hanging from the top of his head, and he immediately sat down on the ground, sweating profusely.

Qiu Xiaofeng stared at the corpse for a long time, and couldn't help screaming "Wow" any longer. He ran up to the beams of the house with light kung fu, and ran on the roof without looking back.

Until Qiu Xiaofeng ran back to Liuyang City, he was still in shock.

He stretched out his hand and patted his chest, finally regaining his breath.

"You've seen a ghost, you look like you're in a hurry." Seeing him coming back, Yue Ci couldn't help laughing at his stunned and stupid look.

Qiu Xiaofeng didn't know what to say, so he gritted his teeth and told a lie, "I saw a big tiger on the road in that village. It opened and shut its mouth as if it wanted to eat people, so I had to run all the way back. It was so scary. dead!"

"Really? That's bad luck."

Qiu Xiaofeng smiled again, and just prevaricated.

Li Bucai asked again, "You saw that man, I think he is not in good health, I don't know if he is getting better?"

"He was not in good health two days ago, and now he has improved after taking the medicine, and he is no longer coughing non-stop, so you can rest assured." Qiu Xiaofeng lied to him.

"If he knew that the mirror flower was stolen, he might be very sad."

"Then don't let him know, otherwise he will be sad and his condition will become serious again, it's terrible." Qiu Xiaofeng said.

"That's natural."

Li Bucai glanced at Qiu Xiaofeng cautiously again, knowing that he had suspected him at the beginning, and blamed him for the fault, but now Jin Su Yi Ge dared not drive him away, and the two were still in the same room Turning around, looking up but not seeing down, it is extremely embarrassing.It's just that Qiu Xiaofeng doesn't hold any grudges at all, and treats people just like in the past, and he doesn't necessarily feel anxious or hesitant.

Seeing that the shop was about to close again, Li Bucai locked the door and got the key to leave.

An idea flashed in Qiu Xiaofeng's mind, Li Bucai was the one who guarded the wedding dress, maybe he saw the money and stole it himself?

Seeing the figure go farther and farther, Qiu Xiaofeng couldn't think of the time to make a cup of tea, so he secretly followed.

The people around gradually became rarer and quieter.Li Bucai turned into an alley, and there were a few children playing in the alley, kicking chicken feather shuttlecocks and playing around.Li Bucai opened the door and entered the room, then closed the door again.

Qiu Xiaofeng was anxious, he went around the house again, finally he found the wall, leaped into the yard with light work, and found a place to hide beside the flower vines.

The voice from inside came.

"came back?"

"Well, where is Hua'er?"

"I went to the school to eavesdrop again, and I haven't come back yet, I'm afraid I've been fascinated by it."

"Hua'er was smart and eager to learn since he was a child, but it's a pity that I am useless as a father. I don't have the money to send him to school. I feel ashamed..."

"That school is not something we ordinary people can attend, it's just—"

"It's just that Hua'er suffers, having such a useless father..."

"I said you too, there are so many treasures in the Golden Thread Clothes Pavilion, what's wrong with picking out one or two at random! The Golden Thread Clothes Pavilion is rich and powerful, so why would it care about dozens of pieces of silver?" The woman In a fit of anger, he thought of a crooked idea and questioned Li Bucai angrily.

Thinking about it, the Golden Thread Clothes Pavilion is rich and powerful, and a few ready-made clothes randomly picked out from the whole store are worth a lot, and it would take some time to secretly resell them.Kuan and Li Bucai was also a bookkeeper, and if he made some fake accounts, it might be discovered by someone.

"This, this, don't mention this again."

"I think you are so pedantic that your brain is broken, and your mind is not open. Look at others? Who is as honest as you! People are kind and bullied! You can't learn to be smart!"

"This can't be done, can't be done..."

"Then you just watch our Hua'er fail to succeed!"

"I will always find a way to make money, and you too, don't worry about it anymore."

"I've heard for a long time that you keep a priceless piece of clothing, so you secretly exchanged it for money, and then found a random piece of clothing to prevaricate, no one will be able to find out, but our Hua'er will be able to study later. , I have learned knowledge and become a leader, so it’s okay to return this money back!”

"Then, that wedding dress was stolen two days ago."

"What? Then the Golden Thread Clothes Pavilion has trouble with you?"

"Not yet. Don't worry. I already have countermeasures."

"If you lose your job, Hua'er and I have no choice but to go to the street to beg for food, but whose face will you lose in the end, you have to decide for yourself!"

Qiu Xiaofeng squatted behind the flower branches and heard the conversation clearly.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and Li Bucai was forced to do so because he was afraid of losing his job, so he made such a bad move and took the blame on his back.

Qiu Xiaofeng thought about it for a while, and suddenly another thought came to his mind.

Why should this pot be his Qiu Xiaofeng's back!In order to seek self-interest and protect oneself, it is a matter of course to pull people's backs. This kind of person is nothing more than a selfish person with no morals at all!He, Qiu Xiaofeng, is not a fish on the drill board to be slaughtered by others, if this person insists on fighting him, then he will not be outdone, but wants to see who has more careful thoughts.

Qiu Xiaofeng took a careful breath, clenched his fists, took another look at Li Bucai, and quietly went out over the wall.

Seeing that Qiu Xiaofeng finally came back, Yue Ci had doubts about his whereabouts, so he asked, "Where have you been?"

"I just went out to look around. There is a night market in Liuyang City today, which is very rare."

"You have been shopping for so long, and you haven't seen anything?"

"There are so many things to look at," Qiu Xiaofeng counted with his fingers, and said with a sad face, "It's a pity that none of them can afford it. If no one comes to avenge me, I will have to work as a coolie for nothing. How can I do it?" What spare money to buy!"

"Hmph, I don't have a brain, so who can I blame?"

Qiu Xiaofeng patted his head, thinking that he is really a stupid person, he was deceived by all kinds of people, when will he have a better memory.

Qiu Xiaofeng was frightened and frightened all day long, and he was tortured to the point of collapse. When he boiled the water and took a shower, he didn't even bother to wipe his hair, so he lay down under the blanket and fell into a dark sleep.
