Chapter 45
Although Zhang Carpenter may be a drunkard, he is not stupid after all. After several days of rat trouble, he felt something was wrong. There had been rats in the past, but never so many and so rampant.
He is a carpenter and sells his craftsmanship. The wood for the tables, chairs and cabinets in the yard has been prepared by his employer, and there are many fine mahogany, pear wood, etc. among them.
If this is damaged, what compensation will he get?
During the day, while he was awake, he walked around a few times in and outside his courtyard, and he was actually asked to find some clues. There was food, both raw and cooked, at the gate and in front of the tables, chairs and cupboards.
This shows that someone did it on purpose.
So he deliberately didn't sleep that night. He heard some movement at the gate in the middle of the night. He quietly came out and found out that he was caught in the act.
"I thought it was some kid who was causing trouble. It was you, the little brat, who caused the trouble for a long time. I caught you today. Do you want me to pull out your teeth one by one?" Carpenter Zhang was going crazy.
I didn't expect that such a small child could be so bad that his head was smoking and his feet were bleeding. He had suffered heavy losses in the past few days. The other tables and chairs that were damaged by rats were nothing. One of the cabinets was made of mahogany, and the wood alone cost more than ten taels of silver.
.
Now that the cabinet was completely ruined, he had to take more than ten taels of silver out of his pocket, and now he could find the owner of the money.
Adi was also frightened. He couldn't stand and fell to the ground. He huddled in the shadow of the corner. Seeing Zhang Carpenter approaching step by step, he tightened his grip on the Lotus Sword in his hand.
The other party is an adult man after all, and he is not stupid enough to pounce on him.
Seeing that the opponent was within range, he aimed at Zhang Carpenter and pressed the spring, and a silver needle came out silently.
Hard work pays off, he started practicing Lotus Sword at the age of five, and after more than four years he was quite accurate. Silver Needle defeated Carpenter Zhang without any surprise.
Adi didn't forget not to leave any evidence, so he ran over and put the silver needle away before disappearing into the night.
If you look closely, you will find that his legs and feet are a bit unbalanced. This is not only caused by the fall just now, but also caused by old injuries.
Erxi Goudan and others were beaten so badly, how could he not be injured at all?
It was just hidden under the clothes. The only flaw was the two scratches on the back of the neck, otherwise Sister Qingyou would not have discovered it. Adi endured the pain all over his body and limped back.
He has been so obedient these days. Firstly, it's because Sister Qingyou doesn't let him go out. Secondly, it's also because his body hurts so much that he needs a good rest for a few days.
After returning home, he quietly entered the house and saw Li Qingyou still sleeping soundly under the moonlight. Adi breathed a sigh of relief and found some medicinal wine to apply to the wounds on his body.
There were bruises all over my body and I had to rub them hard.
Adi grimaced in pain while rubbing it. This was much more painful than when fighting. At that time, I was holding my breath and didn't even know it hurt. Now it really hurts.
The master of cavalry and archery has said that practice will tell the truth, no matter how exquisite the moves are, they have to be shot through real fights.
In the past, the soldiers who trained with him didn't dare to do anything serious, and they were more like coaxing children to play. It wasn't until they had a fight that day that he had a deep understanding.
After finishing all this, Adi tiptoed and was about to get into the bed to rest. Who knows, he bumped into something under his feet. There was a bang, which also woke up Li Qingyou.
"Why does it smell like alcohol?" Li Qingyou opened his eyes in a daze from sleep, looked at his brother again, and opened his eyes in shock, "Are you injured?"
Adi's heart skipped a beat and he quickly said that he accidentally sprained his foot when he went to the hut. He avoided Li Qingyou's extended hand and said, "It's okay. I've already rubbed the medicinal wine and it will be fine tomorrow morning."
Li Qingyou saw that he said it easily, and it was probably nothing serious, so she mumbled and turned over to sleep.
Adi breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes.
The next day, Li Qingyou thought that he had almost enough money in his hand and it was time to go to the Yamen to register his brother's residence. Just as he was about to go out, Carpenter Zhang came.
"That little girl of yours drove all the rats into our house in the middle of the night and broke all the tables, chairs, and cabinets. You have to pay for the money." Carpenter Zhang blocked the door aggressively and asked for money.
He lay at the door of the yard for most of the night last night, and it was not until his wife found him missing at night that he found him. The early spring in the north was warm and cold at first, and the night was no worse than winter. If it were later, he might freeze to death in front of his house.
Li Qingyou laughed angrily at him, "According to what you say, my sister can still control rats? If she really has this ability, is she still hanging around here? Wouldn't it be better to go into battle and help my Liang army against the enemy? I think you are drunk and blinded.
Bar?"
Everyone around him burst into laughter after what he said. Isn’t it too mysterious?
Carpenter Zhang blushed and said, "I saw it with my own eyes, how can I be wrong?"
"Then you probably saw a ghost. My sister is so young, so quiet and honest. She slept with me at home last night, so why did she come to your house?" Li Qingyou refused to give in, "You are so poor and crazy that you came here to blackmail someone.
Are you here? Do you want to bully others when there are no adults in our house?"
What Li Qingyou said was reasonable, and everyone onlookers nodded in agreement. Some even thought that the Li family was really lively, having fun every three days, which was even better than a big show.
Zhang Carpenter repeatedly said that he had seen it with his own eyes, so Li Qingyou asked him to provide evidence, "The government's judgment of the case is about catching thieves and catching women with stolen goods. I can't admit that you are cheating on us as soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip."
"
evidence?
He really does.
Carpenter Zhang took out a handful of minced cereal cakes and soybean cereals and spread them in front of Li Qingyou, "This is the evidence. These were scattered by your little bitch at the door of my house, and there are also some in the yard."
Li Qingyou was even more amused, "You said this belongs to our family? I also said you sprinkled it yourself. Who doesn't have these things? If everyone were like you, wouldn't all the food in the world belong to our family?
"
Everyone laughed again.
Carpenter Zhang made a big fuss over the roasted chicken. He wished that the little bastard had escaped last night, and now there was nothing he could do.
But he didn't want to leave just like that. The mahogany cabinet was worth more than ten taels of silver. How could he pay for it?
Carpenter Zhang had no evidence and was unwilling to give in. Li Qingyou's patience finally ran out, "You can either use the evidence to speak out, or you can just stay somewhere cool. I'm very busy and I don't have time to chat with you here."
Teeth, get out."
As he spoke, he picked up a broom and started blasting people outside.
Carpenter Zhang originally came to claim compensation but ended up being kicked out. His old face was completely humiliated. When he turned around, he glanced at Zhao Xiaoshan who had come in from the crowd, and his eyes suddenly widened.
No wonder he just saw a guy doing carpentry work in the yard, and he was half-finished the carpentry, and he felt that this little bastard was eating the whole thing.
If he can't touch the witch, why can't she touch him?
