Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

Liu Yu looked around carefully and found that some of the alleys were connected to the shops in front of them, and some were separated from the shops in front of them, so he walked out.

With a "squeak" sound, the courtyard door behind Liu Yu opened.

The middle-aged woman walked out with a basket and saw three strange men at the door. She looked wary. She quietly retracted one foot and held the door with one hand, as if she was ready to close the door and lock it at any time.

"Who are you and what are you doing at my door?"

"Auntie, our younger brother is a scholar and wants to rent a house in the town. Our brother came to inquire and see if there is one with a suitable price.

The woman looked at the people carefully and frowned slightly: "Then you have found the wrong place. This place is close to the building. It is noisy and noisy at night, so don't lead your young man into trouble."

The woman glanced at Liu Yu, the handsome man next to her, and spoke to dissuade him.

The three of them were shocked when they heard this: "Isn't that the house that Lin gave to others?"

"Of course not, that's the largest gold selling cave in town, the backyard of Shengfangyuan."

"Dare I ask, aunt, where did Shengfangyuan come from?" Several people secretly screamed in their hearts. The men in the village were still looking for someone in a nearby town. Who would have thought that He Xian had been brought to this dirty place in Shuangliu Town.

"Shengfangyuan and Gold and Silver Gambling House are owned by the same owner. Uncle He in the town opens them. He is the mayor's brother-in-law."

The old woman looked at the three people in front of her and said again: "Seeing that you are all honest and responsible, I would like to advise you not to get involved in these two things and leave quickly."

The old woman was about to leave after saying that. When Liu Yu saw that she kept walking in and raised her hand to knock on the door that Shui Sanmei entered through, she couldn't help but shout: "Wait a minute, ma'am."

"You still have something to do. I told you this is not a good place. Let's go quickly. I have work to do." The old woman turned around and looked over, her face already impatient.

"Auntie, to be honest, our scholar hasn't been home for a few days. The gentleman at the academy also said that he hasn't been seen for a few days. We just started to inquire carefully and deceived auntie. I apologize."

In desperation, Liu Yu made up a rhetoric, regardless of whether there were any loopholes.

"Then you should come and check again at night. This building is only open at night. The girl who picked up the guests was tired all night, and some of the guests who stayed overnight also played all night. The door is not open during the day, and it only lasts for more than an hour. You can come back then."

Among the three of them, except Liu Fan who understood the old woman's secret words, Liu Shan only knew a little bit about it, and Liu Yu was confused. I wonder what these people were doing at night, so they could rest for a whole day.

Several people came here to find someone to save someone. It was definitely impossible for them to go in through the front door to find someone. Seeing that the old woman was unable to get in, the three of them couldn't.

In the end, she had to say: "Auntie may help us brothers open the back door later and let us go in to investigate. Don't worry, auntie, we will never involve auntie."

Seeing that they really weren't looking for brothers and wanted to go in for prostitution, the old woman nodded and agreed: "Well, it's not easy for anyone to train a scholar. When the time comes, I will secretly remove the door bolt, and you guys Come in quietly after a while, don't disturb the guests."

The three of them were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked the old woman.

In order to prevent Shui Sanmei from suddenly walking out and discovering clues, the three of them took advantage of this moment to explore the nearby terrain, so that if there was a dispute, they would not run into a dead end.

Time passed bit by bit, the winter days were short, and the sky gradually darkened in less than half an hour. Except for restaurants and restaurants, most of the other shops along the street were closed. Only these two-story buildings connected together had hangings on the door. The red lanterns lit up one by one.

The young girl and her brother in light and bright clothes stood in front of the building, greeting the passing customers with smiles on their faces.

Some people ran away in panic, while more people walked directly in. Several small entrances were brightly lit, and the sound of silk music could be heard inside, including the teasing laughter of men and the coquettish sounds of girls and boys.

There are also the greetings of the madam, the passing of the maids passing menus to the guests, and the crisp sounds of recommending wines.

Inside, the clothes are fragrant and the hair is fragrant.

They came out through the open doors and windows together. The three of them hid on the corner of the street and looked over secretly, feeling heavy in their hearts.

"There are thugs in these gambling houses and buildings, we must be careful." Liu Fan carefully warned his two angry brothers, fearing that they would suffer a hidden loss if they didn't notice.

"I understand, brother."

The three of them sneaked all the way to the back door. Liu Yu pushed it gently with her hand. Sure enough, the old woman had taken off the door bolt.

"Squeak!" A very light sound was lost in the noisy backyard.

Liu Yu carefully opened the door and walked in quietly. Liu Shan was at the end and gently closed the door. Ignoring the doubtful looks of the two people, Liu Shan raised his hand and held the horizontal door bolt in his arms.

Several people were hiding behind a large water tank. This was a corner by the backyard door. There was a large water tank and several huge flower pots with green flowers and trees planted inside. This small barrier was excellent. The three figures were hidden.

Looking through the gap, I saw that the backyard was quite large. The backyards of several small buildings were connected together without any partitions.

A row of about five sitting rooms is used as a kitchen. The aroma of pot gas, the sound of stirring spatulas, the sound of the cook and the master yelling at the helper, and the sound of the girl setting the fire are all in my ears.

Liu Yu and the others could not help but touch their shriveled stomachs as they smelled the aroma of the meat and vegetables.

The three upside-down rooms on the other side were probably firewood sheds. The doors and windows were closed, and it was dark inside. Liu Yu looked at them carefully and wondered what they were used for.

There are three rooms on both sides, some with lights on, and some also dark. The noises coming from inside indicate that this is the gambling house and the place where the servants in the building stay.

"Hurry up the big kitchen, the guests can't wait."

The madam, with bright silk flowers on her hair, came to the kitchen step by step to order the dishes.

"It's almost ready, Hong Ma. Please take a rest first. I'll go there myself as soon as the food is ready."

The three of them listened carefully and felt that the voice was very familiar. A moment later, they saw a middle-aged woman in coarse clothes walking out of the large kitchen. She looked at the madam with a flattering look on her face.

"It's Third Sister Shui." Liu Shan exclaimed.

"Keep your voice down, we are not blind." Liu Fan shouted.

"It's better to say goodbye. The guests like fresh guys and girls. Looking at your old face, can you eat and drink?"

The madam looked disdainful.

Shui Sanmei's smile froze on her face, and she said nonchalantly: "That's right, that's right, we really can't compare to the young brothers and girls recruiting people, so we won't go out to embarrass the building."

"Hong Ma, look, we have also sent this debtor. When will you let my son go?" Shui Sanmei bowed and kept her posture extremely low.
