Got to pack up.I won't talk to you anymore, take care! "

Wu Zonglun quickly blocked the door: "Steward Lin, I have something else to do. I haven't come these days. I'm waiting for my wife to give birth at home. A few days ago, I gave birth to a pair of twins. The mother and child are safe. This is a red egg for you. Thank you Your care these days."

Butler Lin was a little moved. He was alone and a servant, but he was just making things easier for this person. He didn't expect him to remember his favor.Seeing Wu Er picking up Chai to leave, he hurriedly said, "Twins? Don't they have two more mouths to eat?"

Wu Er raised his face and smiled, but couldn't hide his sad face: "The child's mother is still in confinement, and I took the time to go up the mountain to collect this firewood while the three of them were asleep. You see, today I specially You’re about to move out after you’ve bundled two copies, I’m sure you’ll never run out of firewood, I’d better go to another house to have a look…”

Lin Yilun felt sad, opened the door and said, "Zuo Zuo will move out tomorrow, you can put the firewood in!"

Wu Zonglun took the money, thanked the sentimental housekeeper Lin who was wiping away tears, and walked towards the fish.

When Wu Zonglun arrived at the fish store, he was ready to hand over the wedding eggs to Accountant Hu. Accountant Hu sighed: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and I was going to introduce you to a distant relative for a blind date. The baby is born."

Wu Zonglun said: "Mr. Hu is too flattering. Thank you for taking care of me these days. I will go to work."

Accountant Hu said: "No, you just came today, I'll introduce you to another distant relative..."

The corner of Wu Zonglun's mouth twitched: "No need! No need! If my wife finds out, she will kill someone with a hatchet!"

Accountant Hu laughed loudly: "Where did you think! My relative is a man!"

Wu Zonglun thought: Yes, my wife is also a man!

Accountant Hu said: "This is my nephew Hu Ge from afar. Hu Ge, this is the Wu Er I mentioned to you. He can write well and is well educated. After you become an accountant, you should take good care of him in the future." study!"

Wu Zonglun hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be! Accountant Hu, are you...?"

Hu Ge rubbed his nose with one finger, looked at Wu Zonglun, and interjected: "It's easy to say. Uncle Qi is going back to the countryside to recuperate, and he will be back in a few days. He was afraid that the boss would invite others, so he recommended me to come here to replace him." He lasts for a few days."

Accountant Hu shook his head and sighed, "Wu Er, you have to help me take care of him more these days."

Wu Zonglun hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, just tell Hu Accountant if there is anything to do."

Accountant Hu pulled him aside and lowered his voice: "Although this kid looks very clever, in fact, his brain... is lacking. You can help me keep an eye on him and don't let him cause trouble. You can help me with the accounting. If you can’t do it, just let it go and wait for me to come back.” Secretly stuffed a bag of broken money: “It’s helped me a lot.”

Wu Zonglun said: "You are too polite. I just wanted to advance my salary with you. The child's mother has no milk. You can just give me enough money to buy a ewe."

Accountant Hu gave him two taels of silver.

He moved goods at the fish store, and when he saw that there was no errand, he took the money and went to the Nanshi slaughterhouse to buy sheep. After searching around, he found that there were no ewes.

After inquiring, I found out that this place is near the sea, and most of the sheep are transported from Guangdong, Guangxi and other places.At the close of the new year, big households in the county have to prepare New Year’s goods. Goat milk is the raw material for making double-skin milk for cheese. Someone bought out the stock early on. Not to mention ewes, even live sheep are rare.

Wu Zonglun originally thought that it would be no problem to solve the money problem, who would have expected such a thing to happen.Sighing, he walked towards the shell village.

He hastily ate two steamed buns at noon. It was freezing cold, hungry and cold. Seeing that a pastry shop was still open, he walked over and asked for two steamed buns. He squinted and saw a ewe tied to the door!That sheep is grazing leisurely, milk?house?It was full, and there was a little lamb turning around beside it.

Wu Zonglun saw someone approaching to lead the sheep, but upon closer inspection, he was still an acquaintance: "Shao An?"

Shao An turned back: "Master Wu?"

The two exchanged a few words, and Wu Zonglun asked him whose ewe belonged to it.

Shao An said: "Master Yuan ordered it. My lord recently suffered from mouth sores. The doctor said to use goat's milk as a medicine primer. Half a month ago, I was asked to go to Nanshi to buy sheep. Who knows that this year's live sheep are so tight that they only arrived today. goods."

Wu Zonglun heard that it was Yuan Hong's sheep, so he gave up the idea of ​​buying a sheep, and said goodbye to Shao An with some regrets.

Just as he was about to go home, he heard someone calling Wu Er behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Hu Ge running towards him with a flushed face, "Wu Er? What a coincidence!" When he got close, he smelled of alcohol.

Wu Zonglun said with a smile: "Little accountant Hu? What a coincidence."

"You can just call me Hu Ge! I have been working as an accountant for a long time! Haha! Didn't you go to Nanshi... What? Didn't you buy sheep?"

Wu Zonglun said: "This year's sheep have been booked in advance by the big family. I am going to visit the neighboring county tomorrow."

Hu Ge frowned: "It took several days to go back and forth. Aren't your two sons going to starve to death?"

Wu Zonglun's heart sank, and he sighed: "There is no way."

Hu Ge patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, it's just a ewe. You can come to the fish store tomorrow to fetch the sheep."

Before Wu Zonglun could answer, he staggered away.

grand rogue

[-].

Wu Zonglun came home and saw that Liu Hai had cleared out a place on the gable behind the house to raise sheep.Seeing that he came back empty-handed, Liu Hai didn't ask any further questions.

After dinner, Wu Zonglun heard Nianen and Qiyuan crying with guilt, and frowned, "I should ask Shao An for some goat's milk today."

Liu Hai hurriedly asked him what was going on, Wu Zonglun said everything, and Liu Hai said: "If you ask Brother Shao An for it, and if you are discovered by Yuan County Magistrate, won't you implicate him?" He remembered what he had endured in prison. The board couldn't help shivering.

Wu Zonglun regretted it unceasingly. Before leaving, his teacher had already said that he could discuss with Yuan Hong if he wanted to borrow some goat milk, wouldn't Yuan Hong be reluctant?Had this been done then, the two children would have had enough to eat tonight.It's still my ridiculous self-esteem at fault, and I don't want to ask him!

He got up when he thought about it, and said to Liu Hai: "The child is crying so much, I'll go to the Yamen to borrow some goat's milk."

After hearing this, Liu Hai also wanted to go together, Wu Zonglun said: "When the sheep just arrived at the Yamen, I quietly asked Shao An for a loan. It is inconvenient if there are too many people."

He had thought about his speech along the way, and when he arrived at the side door of the yamen, he was about to knock on the door, but he heard a shout from inside: "There are assassins! Protect your lord!"

Wu Zonglun heard the wind blowing above his head, looked up, and saw a black shadow floating over the wall, carrying a huge black cloth bag on his hands.The man was dressed in night clothes and had good lightness skills. He stepped on the tiles on the wall and moved forward quickly without making a single movement. Wu Zonglun hurriedly stepped forward and chased him.

He wasn't sure that he would be able to catch up to the assassin who was so good at lightness kung fu, but the man ran slower and slower, ran to a bamboo forest, and suddenly fell to the ground clutching his chest.Wu Zonglun stepped forward and held him down: "You?!"

Pull down the mask, is it Hu Ge? !

"Who are you? Why did you assassinate Yuan Hong?" Wu Zonglun was shocked, but Hu Ge was also surprised when he saw him, and then smiled again: "Wu Er? I thought it was a hard idea this time, but fortunately it was you ah!"

"I'm asking why you assassinated Yuan Hong!"

Hu Ge acted like he was startled by the sudden increase in volume, and scratched his ears: "Who wants to assassinate Yuan Hong? Who is he? I just..."

"Baa baa" came two sheep calls from the cloth bag.

Wu Zonglun bowed his head speechlessly: "Are you going...to steal a sheep?"

Hu Ge patted him on the shoulder: "Wu Er, don't be so moved! Do you know that you feel uncomfortable when you misunderstand me? Ann! We chivalrous people are all heroes who donate money and steal from the rich to help the poor. You don't have to do this." Touched! Hey! What are you doing?!"

"...I'm the one who's sorry for Accountant Hu. He asked me to watch you carefully, but you...go away! If it's a misunderstanding, I'll return the sheep with you!"

"What are you doing? Go back? My Mei Xingxia never misses in righteousness, and you actually asked me to go back?!"

"A plum?!"

Hu Ge was very pleased: "So you have heard my name? Haha!"

"I'm still a habitual thief... I'll take you to surrender. For the sake of stealing sheep for me, I'll find acquaintances in the Yamen for you, and try to be lenient." Wu Zonglun calmed down completely.

"Hey!" Hu Ge yelled but couldn't pull his hand back. Of course, Wu Zonglun used his internal strength, and it was because he was injured just now.

"For the sake of the fact that I was seriously injured for stealing sheep for you, Wu Er, can you be a little humane? Send me to the Yamen now, and I will be beaten to death after two boards. How can you be lenient?! I If you die, you will pay me with your life?!"

Wu Zonglun stopped.

According to Yuan Hong's character of vengeance, it is really possible that this is the result.

"I'll help you return the sheep. You go back to the fish store tomorrow and wait for me, or I'll go to the yamen and report on you."

Hu Ge grinned: "I'm waiting for you tomorrow? What are you waiting for? How can there be a person like you who is so law-abiding in this world?! You work hard every day under the rule of the county magistrate, but you don't even have a sheep. If he can’t even afford it, it means he’s a stupid official! Even if I steal from the rich and donate to the poor, what’s wrong? Besides, I bought the sheep, and I paid for it! It will hurt others! Hmph! Why do the sheep go back? Would you rather your children starve?"

Wu Zonglun was blocked by him for a moment without saying anything, and looked at him: "Whoever said I can't afford sheep, it's not yours... Forget it, for the sake of your payment, just treat what happened tonight as if I didn't read it." Here you go!"

Hu Ge said: "Then... am I really leaving?"

He had just taken two steps when Wu Zonglun said, "Wait a minute!"

Hu Ge turned his head ferociously: "Why? This
