Chapter 563 She put her hand into the lion's mouth
When Que Dongjin and the others entered the compound, they heard Jiang Wukui and Xie Mengqi flirting with each other, even talking about male and female dogs. He looked at Wang Xueliu and smiled, saying, "Listen, when there's no one around, girls can be so wild and loud."
"It's all because of you men." Wang Xueliu said.
"I remember when I was in the mountain village, I often heard people from the villages who came to the village say that bitches don't wag their tails and male dogs don't fight. How can you blame the men?" Que Dongjin looked at Wang Xueliu and smiled meaningfully again.
Wang Xueliu's face flushed. "I'm telling you, there are no good men. This is also the truth."
"Little Wolf, did you hear clearly what Jiang Wukui and the others said?" Qing Chunxiu asked Little Wolf.
"I didn't hear it clearly . Did you understand? I have to let them know that we are back. Otherwise, they will think that Uncle Wang is in the kitchen and his hearing is not good, so they dare to say anything." The little wolf said and coughed deliberately, like thunder.
Wang Xueliu covered her mouth and laughed.
"Jiang Wukui, did they hear what we just said?" Xie Mengqi quickly stood up from the edge of the bed and tugged at the hem of her clothes. "Get out now!"
"What's wrong with hearing it? Isn't it just talking about male dogs and female dogs?"
"Stop talking and get out quickly. They coughed on purpose just now. Didn't you hear it?" Xie Mengqi pushed Jiang Wukui.
"I heard it. That was Little Wolf coughing on purpose. He envied me, or was jealous of me!" Jiang Wukui smiled and went out.
"Jiang Wukui, you look very happy. Did you pick up a gold ingot?" Wang Xueliu looked at Jiang Wukui and asked with a smile.
"I'm happier than if I had picked up a gold ingot. Xie Mengqi is no longer angry. Don't you think this is a happy thing? Wang Xueliu, you and Captain Que deliberately left us two here, right?" Jiang Wukui didn't hide anything. He looked at Wang Xueliu and said directly.
"It's good that you know! Wu Kui, don't be so indecisive from now on."
"Wang Xueliu, you are wronging me. I have never been fickle. The two of them just misunderstood me. Am I that kind of person?" Jiang Wukui said with a smile.
"How many men are not fickle?" Wang Xueliu said, looking at Xiaolang and Que Dongjin.
"How come we were swept in with one stick?" Que Dongjin said.
"Really? We followed them in anyway." Little Wolf also said.
"Did I talk to you two? You seem to be worried about something!" Wang Xueliu said with a smile .
"Are you back? The people who went to Gewang Town at noon won't come back for lunch, right?" Uncle Wang came over.
"They won't be back for lunch or dinner. By the way, we have to eat breakfast before dinner. After dinner, we have something to do. Jiang Wukui, you and Xie Mengqi go cook, don't trouble Uncle Wang again." Que Dongjin said.
"Okay." Jiang Wukui walked towards Xie Mengqi's room.
"It's okay, I can make it, although it's not as delicious as Xie Mengqi's." Uncle Wang said.
"Uncle Wang, just take a rest!" Wang Xueliu said with a smile.
"Okay, let them cook lunch and I'll cook dinner. You have to go out after dinner and have a good rest in the afternoon." Uncle Wang said with a smile.
In Gewang Town.
Qin Shili, Wang Hanyu, Little Fox Fairy, Little Bee, and Zheng Can walked the streets. To avoid trouble and draw attention while scouting the area, all five wore makeup. Qin Shili and Little Bee were dressed as men, while Little Fox Fairy and Zheng Can became their wives. Wang Hanyu became Little Fox Fairy's younger sister. They walked the streets, familiarizing themselves with the town's terrain and looking for opportunities to learn more about Xu Dong.
Qin Shili saw a fork in the road ahead and said to Xiao Fengmei and Zheng Can, "You two go to the left and then come back to meet at the restaurant here. Do you see the restaurant? We'll have lunch here at noon."
"I understand." Little Bee said as he and Zheng Can went towards the street on the left.
Qin Shili and the other two continued to move forward. She said to the little fox fairy, "Stop swaying your waist. Walk properly and don't let others stare at your buttocks."
"What are you talking about? Are my buttocks so attractive to men?" the little fox fairy said with a smile.
"You still say! Is Jiang Wukui attracted by the way you walk?" Wang Hanyu said.
"Stop talking nonsense! This is a mission, not shopping. Look at the puppet soldiers coming in front, and compare their appearance with the Xu Dong that Uncle Wang mentioned to see if he is here." Qin Shili said in a low voice.
"clear."
The three men stood on the side of the road. They carefully identified the puppet soldiers and found that the person they were looking for was not among them.
The puppet army passed by, and Qin Shili said, "Let's find out where Xu Dong lives first! Let's go and ask someone. We can't just walk around like this without a goal!"
"That's true." said the little fox fairy.
"Let's go buy a pack of cigarettes. The person selling eyes should know." Qin Shili said as she walked towards the old man selling cigarettes. When she bought cigarettes, she pretended to ask the old man casually.
"You don't know where he lives? You must be from outsiders. No one in this town doesn't know about the Xu family compound. You've gone too far. When you came here just now, you found a fork in the road. Walk left for more than a hundred meters and you will see the compound. There are two big lions in front of the compound gate. Now you are going back, of course, take the road on the right. Do you understand?" The old man selling cigarettes took Qin Shili's money and asked for change.
"I understand, old man, thank you. No need for change." Qin Shili said, looking at Little Fox and Wang Hanyu, and motioned them to go around and take a look at Xu Dong's courtyard.
Qin Shili followed the route indicated by the old man and saw the Xu family compound. She instructed the little fox fairy and Wang Hanyu not to get close to the front door of the compound, and asked them to go in two different directions, circle the compound, and carefully observe the terrain so that they could act at night.
The little fox fairy and Wang Hanyu took the order and left, but Qin Shili walked slowly towards the main gate of the compound. She saw a pair of majestic lions in front of the gate, and two puppet soldiers with guns on their backs were standing guard in front of the gate. Qin Shili couldn't help but say in her heart, what a grand compound of traitors!
Qin Shili saw that the compound seemed to have a long history. Judging from the compound, Xu Dong's family did not seem to be a nouveau riche. Could it be that their ancestors were a wealthy family?
Qin Shili wanted to find out what was going on, so she slowly walked towards the stone lions in front of the gate. When she got in front of the lions, she looked carefully and found that one lion was stepping on a lioness, and the other lion was stepping on a pearl. She knew that the one stepping on the little lion was a lioness, and the other one was a male lion.
The lions' eyes are carved with spirit, and both lions have pearls in their mouths. These pearls are of course carved from stone and are round, but if you look closely, they are somewhat oval. The lions' mouths have been polished to a shine, and the lions are indeed quite old.
Qin Shili wanted to guess the year the compound was first built from the lion, and to infer Xu Dong's family background. She put her hand into the lion's mouth and touched the "pearl". The guard finally came over and said, "Don't take the pearl out. You are not a child anymore."
"Sir, the beads inside should not be able to be taken out. They should be carved from the big stone lion! If they can be taken out, it means they can be put in. That means someone carved them and put them in. The value of this lion will be discounted." Qin Shili said with a smile.
"You seem to know a lot! Let me tell you, this pair of lions is very old! Of course, we couldn't take them out at first, but over the years, children loved to take them out and play with them with their hands. After several generations, not to mention the stone carvings, even the steel ones have been worn down, so of course they can be taken out." The puppet soldier originally wanted to drive Qin Shili away and be done with it, but in order to show his knowledge, he talked to Qin Shili about the lions.
"You're right, sir. Why didn't I think of this? You're really knowledgeable. By the way, this stone lion and this courtyard should be of the same age!" Qin Shili saw that the puppet soldier had started chatting with her and continued to ask him questions.
"It's different. This courtyard isn't as old as the lions. When the courtyard was built, the pair of stone lions were bought from somewhere else. I heard they spent a lot of money on them. They bought the lions because a feng shui master said they could bring the owner official luck and wealth. Who knew... Alas! The feng shui master lied."
"Isn't the master doing well in his career now? Seeing that all of you superiors are standing guard for him, the master must be even more successful." Qin Shili said.
"You know shit! The old owner of this compound was in trouble a long time ago. They were accused of being communists and were scared away. What luck do you have in terms of official career, wealth, etc.? Bullshit!" The puppet soldiers couldn't stop talking once they opened their mouths.
"Xiao Sanzi, what are you talking about? If Mr. Xu sees you, do you still want to live?" The puppet soldier standing next to the gate saw Xiao Sanzi talking nonstop and reminded him.
"Got it!" Xiao Sanzi turned around and said to the puppet soldiers in front of the door, then turned back to look at Qin Shili and said, "You are not a local! Go away and stop looking at anything strange here. If you run into the master and he gets upset, you will be in big trouble!"
"Okay, I'll go. It seems that the new and old owners of this house are quite fierce!" Qin Shili was still testing.
"What are you talking about? Do you really not want to live? Go away! Don't implicate me!" The puppet soldier glared at Qin Shili. He probably realized the danger of talking to Qin Shili.
"I'm leaving, sir, I'm leaving." Qin Shili said as she left the gate of the compound.
"Xiao Sanzi, are you trying to show off? Have you forgotten that last time when Li Hai was on guard duty and was telling people about the lion, the old man saw him and broke his ribs? Really! If you don't pay attention, I will be implicated too!" Qin Shili heard the puppet soldier beside the door say to Xiao Sanzi.
"I... okay, I won't say anymore. I'll remember this. Next time, I won't do this again." Xiao Sanzi quickly took out a cigarette and handed it to the puppet soldier.
