This year's monsters are super fierce [75]

Chapter 52

Yan Buzhou glanced at the black cloak that fit well in both length and size, lowered his eyebrows and shook his head with a slight smile, "Brother Zhan is so thoughtful, of course I couldn't be more satisfied, how could I not like it.

But aren't you cold?If we go out of the city together like this, it seems like I have neglected you.If you have any extra cloaks, put them on as well. "

People who practice martial arts have internal strength to protect themselves and are not afraid of cold and heat.

But Zhan Zhao swallowed this sentence back, obediently returned to his room and put on a white cloak.

When the two went out, Uncle Zhong and Lao Huai gave Yan Buzhou a relieved look.

That seemed to say that after years of hard work persuading Zhan Zhaodong to add an extra dress, the kid kept refusing with a smile, and finally saw him put on a cloak today.Finally, there is someone who can make him obedient, not bad, not bad!

Yan Buzhou was slightly uncomfortable being watched by Uncle Zhong.Maybe because Zhan Zhao didn't have much time to go back to his hometown, it was too deserted for Uncle Zhong to guard the old house by himself.From the moment she stepped into Zhan's house yesterday, Uncle Zhong seemed to want to dedicate all of his enthusiasm for hospitality that he had accumulated for more than ten years to her—however, Uncle Zhong pretended to be ordinary.

"Brother Zhan, will Uncle Zhong be bored alone in Jiangnan?"

Yan Buzhou didn't hold back and asked a question after going out, she wanted to say that she must not get sick from boredom.Like Uncle Zhong, a fifty-year-old man whose wife died early and has no children may become a lonely old man.

Zhan Zhao knew very well that Uncle Zhong couldn't be bored at all.In the correspondence every three months, Uncle Zhong wrote that he and his old friends in Jiangnan went fishing, drank tea, plowed the fields and listened to music, and their lives were more colorful than his.This time, if he hadn't written a letter in advance saying that he would come back for the New Year, maybe Uncle Zhong would watch the night with which family he went to.

As for Uncle Zhong's enthusiasm, Zhan Zhao knew it well, but the Buddha said, "I was negligent, and I will make good arrangements."

All right.As long as you have arrangements.

Yan Buzhou thought that Zhan Zhao had always been reliable, so she settled down to get down to business, about the arrangements after the second year of junior high school.

The induction compass given by Feng Huang changed after it was brought to the south of the Yangtze River. The color representing the distance on it changed from light gray to dark gray.The darker the color, the closer it is to Buzhen, and until it is pitch black, it means it is within a radius of three miles.

Now we have to try our best to catch Buzhen without making any surprises. On the one hand, we have issued an official document to assist in the investigation of the secret arrest;

This requires walking back to the empty island.

Bao Zheng said that he had talked with the Five Rats in Shangjing, intending to invite them to serve in the public office.

Although the invitation was rejected, it can be seen that the Five Rats are people who are anxious and righteous. As long as the method is appropriate, it is not difficult to ask them to help.

I don't know how to understand the word 'proper'.Before Bai Yutang left the capital, he personally invited Zhan Zhao, saying that Zhan Zhao might as well go to Xingkong Island as a guest if he is free, so this Chinese New Year visit should be considered appropriate, right?The two shouldn't fight, right?

Zhan Zhao felt the eyes of the people around him, could it be that Ah Yan noticed that the color of the cloak he chose matched well.The so-called one black and one white have always appeared in pairs since ancient times.

The two looked at each other and smiled, the content of the smile was no longer important.

Trapped island.

Bai Yutang stared at a post, almost wanting to see a cat in it.

"Fifth brother, is there any flowers in Zhan Zhao's post?"

Lu Fang looked at Bai Yutang puzzled, why his expression was so troubled, as if he was forced to let the cat eat his favorite fish. "In Bianjing, you said you welcome Zhan Zhao as a guest. This year, Zhan Zhao returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, so he did as you said, and you are not happy."

This is really a needle in the bottom of a man's heart.

"Brother, you don't understand."

Bai Yutang opened his mouth but couldn't explain clearly, he was not an invitation, but a provocation at all, and it was certain that Zhan Zhao would not come.At that time, he was holding a document, and Zhan Zhao's expression was not good.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Zhao is not only coming, but also coming alone. The sincerity in the post is like visiting relatives and friends during the Spring Festival.

Lu Fang took a sip of tea and didn't say much.He doesn't need to understand too much, as long as he understands people respect me and I respect others, tomorrow he should treat Zhan Zhao and his friends politely.

On the next day, Yan Buzhou and Zhan Zhao set off from Changzhou early in the morning, and arrived at the shore of the ferry to Xingkong Island in the afternoon.

Bai Yutang arrived a stick of incense early, wasted his time swimming by the river, heard the faint sound of horseshoes behind him, turned his head and almost fell into the river in shock.

Could it be that his perception of the climate in the south of the Yangtze River is extremely biased?This level of snow should add clothes?So where is the built-in power?If it wasn't for him feeling abnormal, why did he see Zhan Zhao wearing a cloak?The cat also imitated him in wearing white.

Bai Yutang was just about to move, trying to throw a series of questions at Zhan Zhao's head.

Another one came riding Juechen.

After all, Lu Fang was not at ease with Bai Yutang's way of welcoming guests.In the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, it is not suitable to stage a martial arts performance, one must invite Bai Jintang to do it.

"Looks like I've come just in time."

Bai Jintang smiled and got off his horse and greeted Zhan Zhao first, ignoring his younger brother's eyes for the time being, and exchanged greetings with Yan Buzhou.

The reputation of Praise Not Lost Flower Shop spread to the south of the Yangtze River because of Ying Wangdong's miraculous flower cultivation skills, which made Bai Jintang, who is involved in some garden construction industries, very eager to get acquainted with him and ask for advice.

It is possible to expand the business of flowers and trees to the south of the Yangtze River, so why push such a good thing outside.

Yan Buzhou smiled and invited Bai Jintang to go to Bianjing to play when he was free, and in a few words, it was already decided that he would send a letter to Ying Wangdong to sweep the couch to welcome him.

As for why it wasn't Yan Buzhou himself who entertained him, this is the reason why he came to Jiangnan.

"There are rumors in the world that the five rats are highly skilled, and Mr. Bao also admires the chivalrous heart of the five rats. The tattoos are unpredictable, and the arrest through the official document sea may scare the snake. This time, I only hope that the five heroes of Trapped Island can help , secretly looking for traces of Bu Zhen."

After Yan Buzhou finished speaking, he looked at Bai Yutang sincerely, as long as Chinchilla was invited, the other four would basically not refuse.

Bai Yutang tilted his head slightly uncomfortably in the face of such an expectant Buzhou, don't think that throwing compliments at him would be effective.

At that moment, he turned his head to look at Zhan Zhao, and said that the cat was uneasy and kind in wishing the mouse a new year.If you really didn't just come here to be a guest, hurry up, before you say a few nice words, admit that the cat is begging for a mouse.

"What Ah Yan wishes is what I wish."

Zhan Zhao smiled back at Bai Yutang, "Brother Bai Gao Yi must have the same wish, and hope to catch the person involved in the case as soon as possible. Isn't it?"

There was an eerie silence.

Bai Yutang thinks that the silly cat has evolved and has mastered the skills of how to piss him off. Could it be possible that the cat will not blow its hair in the future?

"There is still such a thing. Don't worry, you two, Brother Lu is anxious and righteous, and he will not refuse to help."

Bai Jintang first made a promise, "I will definitely help, and I will try my best to cast a net for you to find someone. As long as that person is in the south of the Yangtze River, there will be clues within a few months."

Finding Buzhen is not a matter of one day, and we will continue to celebrate the Spring Festival without delay.Especially on the fifth day of the fifth day, welcoming the God of Wealth is particularly lively.

Songjiang Mansion, Wangzhu Fireworks Shop.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the shops selling fireworks and firecrackers are still open in the afternoon, just for the convenience of customers who missed buying firecrackers.

Shopkeeper Qian kept knocking on the counter. In fact, he really wanted to go home earlier, because there were not many customers who bought fireworks and firecrackers temporarily, but he couldn't violate the working hours set by his boss.

He was in a bad mood, looked back, and found that Xue An, who was in charge of cleaning, was actually sitting on the saddle, "Xiao Xue, why are you being lazy! The warehouse in the back has already been cleaned?"

Xue An shrugged his shoulders and nodded obsequiously.

The warehouse has been cleaned back and forth many times.Not only the warehouse, but also the yard, walkways, windows, etc., can almost be described as spotless.

Shopkeeper Qian didn't let him waste firewood, and he dug well water to scrub everywhere in winter. His hands were completely frozen into carrots.

"It's all cleaned up." Xue An spoke in a very soft voice. I have been busy for three hours and wanted to take a break, but I finally stayed in my stomach and didn't say it.

Shopkeeper Qian sneered and walked out of the counter, looked around for a long time, and finally found a trace of dust on the crack of the door near the ground.Therefore, brushing the dust with his fingers, he wiped Xue An's face with one finger, and poked his forehead fiercely.

"What is this? You can't do the work well, and you can't clean it after a few days. How can you be more lazy! Deduct money, and another fifty copper coins will be deducted this month."

Xue An suddenly raised his head when he heard that, his salary was not much in the first place, and he was deducted every now and then, so he might not even be able to pay the rent.

"Boss, I'm going to wipe it now, please don't deduct wages. Don't deduct wages."

In a word, Xue An said it in a tearful tone, and his eyes were red.

Shopkeeper Qian just sneered and turned back to the counter, without any intention of raising his hand.A beautiful woman cries because of pear blossoms and rain, which makes people feel distressed, but how dare an ugly ghost cry aggrievedly?

Xue An didn't know how disgusting his face was.It was a black birthmark on half the face, with some black hair on it, and one leg was limped from birth.Such a useless person, the boss really shouldn't accept him as a buddy.

Seeing Shopkeeper Qian walking back to the front hall, Xue An hurriedly followed him to intercede again, but he was fooled.

"You're going to die! Repeated orders tell you that you can't come to the front. Scaring the guests and making them suffer from bad luck for a year, can you afford it?"

Shopkeeper Qian threw out his abacus and scolded without hesitation.It didn't matter whether Xue An really ran back to the backyard crying, his mood improved a lot after cursing, it didn't seem like he felt bored working overtime just now.

Backyard, by the well.

Xue An stretched out his hand that was swollen with cold, poured another bucket of well water, and looked down at the reflection on the water surface.

Suddenly, the face reflected in the black birthmark on the water spoke.

"Coward, you are worse than being a white worker when you are being deducted from your wages every day. Drive out the surname Qian, and your good life will come. The surname Qian is greedy for cheap, and he will definitely walk away from the shop. A box of firecrackers, give him the box I made."

"No, I can't. I can't." Xue An hurriedly shook his head, "I can't give the problematic firecrackers to Shopkeeper Qian."

Reflection smiled evilly, "Really? The surname Qian is not disabled, and you still have money to pay the rent? I'm afraid eating steamed buns for three meals a day is enough. Don't come again when you can't miss this opportunity."

Xue An's head was more like a rattle, shaking his head even more violently.

At this time, if someone broke into the courtyard, it was bound to send a chill down the spine.

—— Xue An's left and right faces showed completely different expressions, the left side was hesitant, and the right side was vicious.Listen again, he is actually asking and answering himself.

**

crackling-

In the early morning of the fifth day of the first lunar month, there were firecrackers everywhere in Songjiang Mansion.

Bai Yutang also lit the fuse of the firecrackers according to the occasion, but there was no familiar sound of fireworks.

'boom! '

Without warning, the firecrackers on the open space exploded like thunder.

How could it be so unlucky?

While darting to dodge it, Bai Yutang couldn't help but wonder if he really followed the old saying that when a cat and a mouse meet, there will be injuries?Can you get hurt in other ways even if you don't fight?
