Now the Hua Dynasty seems to be prosperous and peaceful. But the people know that the new power is in power now. The Hua Dynasty has been established for more than 70 years. It seems that a generation of change has been experienced, but in the long river, 70 years is too short.
The foundation of the Hua Dynasty is unknown, the struggle between the princes has surfaced, the civil forces are waiting for an opportunity, and the foreign tribes are eyeing it covetously. It can be said that there are internal and external troubles.
Under such a premise, it is common for one or two thieves to appear in the folk. Not to mention Yangzhou City, even the wanted posters outside the Yulin County Yamen are posted all over the wall.
It is not surprising that the officers and soldiers suddenly broke in and sent a message that there was another imperial prisoner. It was just that I didn't expect that the imperial prisoner this time was a woman, but the level of the Yamen painter was a little poor. In addition to being able to see that it was a woman, there were no other characteristics.
The officer may also know that the portrait is not very reliable, so he added: "This fugitive has a most obvious characteristic, she never shows her face to anyone, and anyone who has seen her face has their eyes gouged out. The action is extremely cruel, and fellow villagers should be extra careful."
After the officers and soldiers left, Xia Shang turned back and said to his family with a smile: "It's also strange, anyone who has seen her appearance has their eyes gouged out, and who painted the portrait?"
The incident of the female thief passed quickly.
Tonight's meal was very comfortable, and the bill was two hundred and thirty taels of silver, which made Qin Huairou feel painful for a long time.
After returning home, Xia Shang assigned tasks to everyone.
Xia Shang will go to class as usual tomorrow, and Qin Huairou, Yazhi, Xiaoyue, and Zhongbo will all go to buy things separately. Now that there is money, there are too many things to replace and buy at home, and they must be replaced from beginning to end.
Others felt that Xia Shang's decision was a bit sudden, but they were also very much looking forward to it. Who doesn't want to see the days getting better day by day?
At three o'clock in the morning, the whole family was preparing for tomorrow and clearing out some unwanted things in advance.
At this moment, the night sky was clear and the colorful stars were desolate and quiet.
In ancient times, there were no tall buildings blocking the night. Standing in the courtyard, you could easily see the end of the sky. It was vast and boundless, which made people excited.
Xia Shang liked such scenery. He was a lazy man. When his wife was busy, he leisurely held a handful of fennel beans, strolled in the courtyard step by step, looked at the sky, and felt the ancient wind. It was a good taste.
In the courtyard, the wall of the new house was about to be completed. It was all made of the best blue bricks. After completion, the thatched house would definitely be much more comfortable to live in.
Besides, the old thatched house that was collapsed by Qin Huairou had been placed here for a long time and no one had moved it.
Xia Shang thought that it was meaningless to repair it. It would be rebuilt anyway, so why bother?
After walking for a while, he came to the collapsed thatched house. A cold wind blew and Xia Shang shivered. Then he felt like peeing.
He didn't know where the idea came from. Xia Shang went around the thatched house and prepared to solve it on the spot.
Xia Shang was in the most remote place in the house. There was a collapsed thatched house as a cover. No one would notice him under the moonlight.
Once the urge to pee came, he couldn't stop it. Xia Shang took off his pants in a hurry. When he was about to open the gate to release water, a cold voice suddenly appeared behind him like a ghost.
"Don't move!"
Before he finished speaking, a cold long knife stretched out from behind Xia Shang's neck.
The eerie blade reflected the moonlight, and its sharpness was beyond description. With just a little force, Xia Shang would be dead.
In the middle of the night, when he was about to urinate, a steel knife suddenly rested on his neck from behind. His lower body was frightened, and he was scared back halfway through urinating.
Xia Shang quickly raised his hand, not daring to move, and said tremblingly: "Let's talk, let's talk, I'm a sensible person, I must stay calm."
"Don't talk nonsense!" The voice behind him seemed a little impatient, but he could also hear her female voice, low but very clear, "Turn around slowly, don't play tricks."
Hearing this, Xia Shang immediately thought of the female thief mentioned by the officers and soldiers today.
"No, no, no... If I see your face, I will definitely have my eyes gouged out, so it's better not to look back."
"What nonsense... ahem... I told you to look back, so turn around. I won't gouge out your eyes."
Xia Shang's mind flashed with many masked female warriors in TV dramas, who were also determined to kill you or marry you after seeing your face.
The woman behind him was probably the same...
"Not going to dig out your eyes? Are you going to marry me?"
"You!"
"Lady, don't get excited! I'm just kidding."
Xia Shang hurriedly turned back. On the one hand, the previous words were a joke, and on the other hand, they were also to reduce his nervousness at the moment.
The night light was dim, and the woman's appearance was not clear. I could only see a pointed chin and skin as moist as a night pearl. The white silk jacket covered her shoulders and dropped to her knees, covering part of her chest-wrapped skirt and the exposed neck, pubic bone, and the natural ups and downs, which were tight and moderate, but slightly hazy in the dark.
Xia Shang had never seen such perfect lines in his life. He said it was a pity to appear in ancient times, and he was so lucky to meet it.
He was distracted for a moment, and suddenly his shoulder hurt. The cold blade was pressed on his shoulder!
"Look at it again, I will dig out your eyes."
"Lady, you just said you wouldn't dig it out!"
"I... I didn't let you look."
"But I didn't say you couldn't look."
"Say it again!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say it. I'll close my eyes, okay?"
It was really uncomfortable to have a knife on my neck. There was blood on my shoulder, and I really didn't dare to move.
But I haven't pulled up my pants yet, and the night wind is blowing outside.
It's so cold that I have goose bumps. This is a serious problem.
With my eyes closed, I don't know what the woman's expression is. What is she going to do? I feel depressed and aggrieved.
"Lady, we are good people. Please don't make things difficult for good people, right? Please be kind and leave quickly. I will pretend that nothing happened."
There was no response, and the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Xia Shang couldn't help but squint a little, wanting to see what the woman was doing.
In the blur, I saw that the woman was very close to me, lowering her head as if she was looking at something.
Seeing this scene, Xia Shang had a bad idea in his mind - what would happen if an ancient woman saw a grown man standing outside without pants, with everything he should and shouldn't see exposed?
At this moment, a scream came out!
"Ah! You lecher! I'll kill you!"
"It's over!"
Any woman in this situation would impulsively do anything impossible!
She would really kill herself!
Thinking of this, Xia Shang shivered with shock, and an uncontrollable feeling came from his lower body...
Xia Shang was so scared that he peed, and peed very high!
