Husband is a soft girl

After driving the thin yamen servant out, Zheng Butou and the fat yamen servant came back with drooping heads, their faces not looking good.Ruan Xuan didn't care about them, and continued to explain the next arrangement, but instead of finishing with his head down, he knocked on the table after a while and asked a few questions.

After all this tossing, plus the lesson learned from the thin yamen servant being swept out of the house, Zheng Butou and the fat yamen servant did not dare to lose their minds no matter how tired they were, and even borrowed a pen and paper to find a way to write it down. The fat yamen servant couldn't read much, so he drew a picture that he could understand.

Seeing that they were serious, although Ruan Xuan had a straight face, he didn't care if they poked the brushes indiscriminately.

The front hall was so quiet that only the sound of rubbing paper and pen was left. Xu Yuning hadn't seen Ruan Xuan for a few days. He missed Ruan Xuan a lot at first, but seeing the quietness, he didn't dare to go out to disturb him rashly. He pursed his lips and looked at Ruan Xuan reluctantly. Xuan turned and left with a glance.

After a while, Ruan Xuan came back and confessed: "I'll go to Sun's house to guard the spirit, you don't have to wait for me after you close the door."

"Okay." Xu Yuning agreed, and asked in a low voice, "How about...shall I go too?"

Ruan Xuan shook his head, "You don't really believe this, do you?"

"..." Xu Yuning couldn't deny it.

"It's said that sincerity is the only way to be smart, it's good for Xiao Xing to go."

Xu Yuning pursed her lips, "Zheng Butou seems to be dishonest..."

Ruan Xuan answered another matter, "I can drive away the yamen servants, but I can't drive away Zheng Butou."

"Oh." Xu Yuning was thoughtful.

Ruan Xuan bowed his head, "It's really not possible, I will let him go."

"Ok."

Regarding the vigil, let's talk about the traditions of this county.According to the custom, a generous burial is not just a matter of spending more money casually. The master and servant of the Sun family died unexpectedly early, all without relatives and no reason. In the eyes of the locals, it is a disaster that will be killed by ghosts and will be embarrassing on the road to Huangquan. Therefore, people are asked to keep watch, burn more paper money, and light incense that lasts overnight. If the ghosts see it, they may give them some noodles so that they can have a good pregnancy.When buying the coffin, the boss saw that Ruan Xuan asked a lot, so he told about this custom. Ruan Xuan kept it in his heart, and dragged Butou Zheng along. Accompanying the vigil, still hesitated.

Dead people are always unlucky.

"This..." He thought about how to refuse.

"There is no one in the Sun family," Ruan Xuan frowned, "You said just now that if you don't guard your spirit, you will lose your soul, and the road to hell is difficult, isn't it?"

Zheng Butou laughed dryly, "The sayings are different in every place, and... we are not the Sun family."

"You don't want to?" Ruan Xuan was unhappy in his heart, but there was a sarcastic smile on Ruan Xuan's face, seemingly gentle and gentle, with his eyes staring at people all over the place.

Zheng Butou suddenly recalled the viciousness of the county magistrate's smashing of the wine jar, and felt that his eyes were like knives, and they were extremely sharp at the beginning.Although he has done a lot of stupid things, he has never been involved in a murder case. Now that the master and servant of the Sun family has passed away, his death is horrific. When he was drunk and confused, he said something he shouldn't have said. Shivering, the words of refusal choked in his throat, strangling him out of breath.

For peace of mind, he gritted his teeth and agreed. "Okay! Just keep it!

So that night, even though Ruan Xuan and Zheng Butou were tired, they still stayed in the Sun family mourning hall, lit a lamp, burned a stick of incense, and got cold in the dark night.

Unfortunately, the wind was very strong at night, passing through the hall in waves. The custom here is that the incense cannot be extinguished. Ruan Xuan, Xiao Xing, and Zheng Butou took turns to block it. .

"Alas." Zheng Butou was miserable, and couldn't help but miss the side dishes and wine in the tavern. He wanted to turn around and ask Xiao Xing to help him, but when he turned around, he was facing the spirit tablets lined up side by side, painted with golden paint and shining brightly.

He was in a trance, his eyes blurred, and he vaguely remembered the heart-piercing cries of his daughter's family.

Weird.

"Xiao Xing." He lowered his head and stared at the floor, and said in a rough voice, "Come here, I'll rest for a while."

Xiao Xing heard it, but looked at Ruan Xuan first, Ruan Xuan frowned dissatisfied, seeing Zheng Butou's sloppy look, he didn't have the slightest remorse, snorted coldly, "Go back."

"Hey." Catcher Zheng hurriedly responded and ran away.

The strange thing was that he had gone to Sun's house several times, but this time he was dizzy and lost direction, and he couldn't find the gate after going around several times.He felt a little regretful, thinking about whether he should turn back to the mourning hall, but a flash of thought gave him a flash of light, and he immediately distinguished the east, west, north, south, and went out smoothly.

When I got home, I ate my wife's hot meals and coaxed my little daughter who was so noisy that she didn't want to sleep.

Catcher Zheng planned this way, but when he thought about his daughter, he was overjoyed and suddenly felt a little bit of pity--he has been on the job for so long, he has met people who died of accidents, died of old age, and fought for death. He was troubled, there are plenty of helpers in the county, and this time, he personally accompanied the adults to buy the coffin, paying for the money still felt sorry for his own wine money, and almost forgot that the two once beautiful girls were also other people's daughters ...

He turned around and walked back.

-

Xu Yuning, who was waiting in the room, also had a sleepless night.

Obviously the back hall was quiet and silent, she washed up early, lay down and warmed the quilt to sleep, everything was as usual.However, she didn't know the inside story, but she couldn't forget Miss Sun's appearance before she died, and even saw Ruan Xuan's restlessness in the past few days.

She couldn't explain why, her heart was heavy, she wandered around the room for a few times, she just sat at the table in a daze, looking out the window with her chin resting and waiting for dawn.

It was dawn, and when she was tired for the first time, there was a sound from the small door in the back hall, Xiao Xing's light steps sounded, and Ruan Xuan's soft voice "you rest", she was most familiar with.

Ruan Xuan is back.

Xu Yunning immediately stood up and was about to meet her, then stretched out his hand, the door in front of him opened, Ruan Xuan walked with his head drooping, and stopped when he saw her shoes, looked up in surprise, "Yunning? You are so early... "

As he said that, Ruan Xuan glanced at the room, found that the bedding was neat and changed his words, "Uh, didn't you sleep?"

If you say you don’t want to sleep, Ruan Xuan’s head will definitely ask why. A few words back and forth are enough to eat a bowl of noodles. Xu Yuning is too troublesome if he can’t say it. He only cares, "Are you tired? Come and squat in the room In a while, I'll make hot porridge for you to eat."

She said she was going to go out, Ruan Xuan hurriedly pulled her, "No, I'm going to Beixiang, I just want to see you, otherwise don't worry."

Beixiang is not far from here, but Ruan Xuan is on an errand, and it may take a whole day to go back and forth.Xu Yuning glanced at Ruan Xuan's dark circles, worried about what might happen in the short distance, "Are you going by yourself? No, I'll accompany you..."

"No~" Ruan Xuan waved his hand, "Bootou Zheng will go with you."

"Huh!?" Xu Yuning thought of Zheng Butou's daring to speak out yesterday, and became even more worried: Zheng Butou held his breath a long time ago, what if he stabbed the knife secretly in private.

Ruan Xuan saw what she was thinking, and explained, "Catcher Zheng has changed. Yesterday he stayed on guard obediently all night, and he was not too tired. He dragged me to Beixiang to deal with the theft case. Uh, it's strange. , at least I changed my temper..."

The subordinate was disobedient, Xu Yunning was puzzled, the subordinate was so proactive in cooperating, Xu Yuning was still puzzled, he really couldn't figure it out and muttered in a low voice, "He must be possessed by evil spirits... no, I will go with you, in case he takes the You snap a knife..."

Ruan Xuan was stunned, "If you kill someone, you have to pay with your life. There are seniors and juniors on him, no way."

"Just in case." Xu Yuning patted Ruan Xuan's shoulder and said solemnly, "I'm staying at home, don't you worry?"

Ruan Xuan pouted, and said honestly, "I didn't think so much, I was just worried that you wouldn't cover yourself with the quilt."

"..."

Choked, Xu Yuning collected himself, still felt that she was reasonable, so she decided loudly, "Anyway, I'll go with you." After finishing speaking, she turned and went into the room to change clothes, and shook off the coat she was wearing before reaching the screen. opened.Ruan Xuan was at a loss, so he quickly closed the door, picked up his clothes and carefully placed them on the screen, lowered his head and said weakly, "Don't worry, it would be bad if people saw it... Zheng Butou came back with us, he You know there are no rules, if you suddenly break in..."

Busy changing clothes, Xu Yuning didn't answer, she chose men's clothing on her own, and when she came out, she saw a Ruan sister who was huddled beside the screen and was thinking.

"What did you say?" Xu Yuning squatted down.

Ruan Xuan was taken aback when she went in as a daughter and came out as a man, "Hey! Oh... Yunning, you scared me to death."

"Let's go." Xu Yuning thought of a quick battle, and pulled Ruan Xuan out, "Headmaster Zheng is here."

"Wait in the front hall."

Xu Yuning curled his lips, quite satisfied, "It's still plausible."

After explaining to Xiao Xing, they went to the front hall, and the first thing they saw was Catcher Zheng pacing back and forth with a knife in his hand.Ruan Xuan thought he was in a hurry, so he stepped forward and said, "Captain Zheng, don't turn around, let's go."

"Ah?" Zheng Butou was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "So fast?"

"Yes, don't you want to go?" Xu Yuning raised his hand to answer.

Swallowing, Zheng Butou said shyly, "It's raining outside, why don't we go tomorrow?"

"Captain Zheng!" Ruan Xuan lowered his face and accused him heartbroken, "Why are you still like this! Don't forget it!"

Boss Zheng stood in front of them, "Don't go out! Boss Zhang is blocking the way!"

Hearing this, Ruan Xuan frowned and stopped, and Xu Yuning saw that one of them looked dignified and the other thoughtful, and asked curiously, "Boss Zhang? Who?"

"A famous bully, and it's..." Zheng Butou wept.

Ruan Xuan sighed, and continued, "Big brother of the thin yamen servant."
