Before dawn and the rooster cried, Qin Xiao had already punched a set of punches in his house.

Bajiquan was taught by the old man when Qin Xiao was six years old. The boxing technique itself is not complicated or even simple. However, the old man said that the Bajiquan strengthens the body and exercises for many years. The brain becomes flexible.

Usually, what the old man said is not wrong, so for many years, as long as there is no special situation, Qin Xiao must get up early and punch a set of punches rain or shine.

This has become a rule in his life like eating and sleeping.

Before the first rays of dawn fell on the earth, Qin Xiao had already taken a cold bath, and then made a bowl of noodles to make breakfast for himself. After eating, he cleaned up and hung up his own wine gourd. Go to the door, and take the courtyard door.

There are less than 30 families on both sides of Muxiang Lane, but less than half have lived here for more than five years.

Gueicheng is the city of Xiling, an important stronghold for business travel, with a large floating population, and if criminal laws are violated in the pass, many of them will be sent to Xiling.

Business travelers, thieves, criminals, and rangers mingled among them. Three religions and nine streams of people of all colors live in the city, so Turtle City can be considered a mixed bag.

There are people coming and some people walking in Muzhu Alley. If they come suddenly, they will walk silently.

However, there are not many people in Mutou Lane. Even if you are a newcomer, you can get acquainted with your neighbors as long as you get used to it for a period of time, and the people in Mutou Lane will not easily cause trouble to others. door.

The Ma Po, who is diagonally opposite the oil shop, opens the door first every day. The pie face of the biscuits shop only knows to smile, and the Jin family father and son in the coffin shop stretch their faces every day, like impermanent ghosts.

The city life of these people is monotonous and boring, but it repeats day by day.

"Ma Po early!"

When Qin Xiao passed the oil shop, he saw Ma Po just coming out of the inner hall, and immediately smiled at Ma Po.

The oil shop in Mapo has been operating on this street for many years, and the business is not good, but it has persisted.

This old woman wears a thick black robe all year round, with a black turban on her head, and her body rickets, perhaps because she is old, deaf and dazzled, and rarely communicates with others on weekdays. When Qin Xiao passes by, she only I would say hello when I saw her.

Ma Po didn’t seem to hear, and didn’t respond. Qin Xiao was used to it. He watched the crouched Ma Po go to the inner room again, and sighed in his heart, knowing that if one day this old lady dies, this oil shop will also It is completely closed.

When I arrived at the Jiazi Supervisor, Qin Xiao was carrying a sack in his hand, and the middle-aged jailer who guarded the gate immediately leaned in and said in a low voice, "I heard that Meng Tautou came back last night. Everyone said it was you and Master Du Wei Go to Zhenhou Mansion?"

"My lord Captain is worried about what's going on, and take me over so that I can confide in the news."

"Is the Zhenhou mansion because of that dog?" The middle-aged jailer said with lingering fear: "If you have offended the Zhen family, you can still come out unscathed. That's rare."

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "It's just a small misunderstanding. If the Chief Lieutenant has come out, there is nothing that can't be solved."

"I said so, but last night was very dangerous." The middle-aged jailer sighed: "You are good at everything, you are young and vigorous, Qin Xiao, to say something that shouldn't be said, some things still hide Okay, don’t force your head, otherwise it will only cause trouble to your upper body."

Qin Xiao knew that the middle-aged jailer's remarks were not malicious, but Meng caught his head and couldn't get out of the matter anyway. He smiled and didn't say much. He was about to go to prison and just listened. A voice came from behind: "Qin Xiao, wait a minute."

Qin Xiao turned his head and saw only two yamen escorting a man in prison uniforms over.

Seeing a prisoner escorted over, Qin Xiao put the sacks down, a thick smile appeared on his face, and he walked up quickly.

"Dou Ba, thirty-six years old, the guardian of the Four Seas Escort, accidentally wounded his life and was sentenced to six years in jail. The case has been finalized." Yachai said to Qin Xiao: "You will be taken into custody first."

Qin Xiao looked at the prisoners up and down, and walked around slowly, as if inspecting the goods, even holding his nose to sniff.

Dou Ba couldn't help but said: "What are you doing?"

Qin Xiao clasped his hands and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Master Dou Biao, who has been admiring for a long time. Introduce myself, my little surname Qin, a single name, Xiaoyao Xiao, responsible for serving you three meals a day, and then helping you do it Some chores, running errands and so on. In the future, if Master Dou has any needs, even if he speaks, I will do what I can do for you, and I will do my best for what I can’t. Anyway, I will make you stay comfortable here. Feel at home." Raised his hand and said: "Come on, please, please!"

Dou Ba is a little confused.

Home away from home?

Is this ghost place making Lao Tzu feel at home?

Qin Xiao has already ran to open the chain of the iron door of Jiazi prison, then opened the door, picked up the sack, and stepped aside, still with a spring-like smile: "Master Dou, hurry up Please come in. Room 8 has been vacant for a long time, and I clean up every day, just waiting for you to come."

The two jailers escorted Dou Ba inside. When entering the door, Dou Ba couldn't help but glance at Qin Xiao. Seeing Qin Xiao looking at himself with a warm smile on his face, he was a little puzzled, thinking to himself now Is Da Prison's service already so considerate and considerate?

Entering the iron gate, it is the stone steps down. In front of it is a fairly spacious passage. It takes less than twenty steps to go forward. It is facing a room with the door closed. There is a passage, but they are all closed with iron gates. Through the iron gates, you can see that it is very dark inside.

"This is the class room, where I usually perform duties, so that you can greet you at any time if you have any needs." Qin Xiao carried the sack and said with a smile: "The Jiazi Supervisor has only 16 rooms, each on the left and right. There are eight rooms. You are room eight. That is the one on the innermost on the left. Come on, please!" said to the two jailers: "The two brothers have worked hard. I can send Master Dou in. You can go back first."

The two government officials glanced at each other. One of the government officials smiled at Qin Xiao and did not speak. Qin Xiao had a comprehensible expression. Master Dou watched it, his heart tightened. Secretly thinking that these two people winked at each other, is there any hidden secret to you? Is it to disadvantage yourself?

Wait for the two jailers to leave, Qin Xiao went to open the iron gate on the left, and made another gesture very politely. Dou Ba hesitated, and finally went inside first.

Qin Xiao followed Dou Ba. After Dou Ba entered, he realized that there was a row of prisons on the right. After passing the first one, through the wooden fence, I saw that the prisoner inside was a 50-year-old. The old man, what surprised Dou Ba was that the scene in the cell was completely different from what he had thought before.

He only thought that in the big prison, the prison must be dirty, and it will smell sour.

But in the first prison, it was clean. Except for a bed in the corner, there was a desk. There were many books on the desk. The old prisoner was sitting on a big chair by the table. With a book in his hand, he was reading the book under the lamp with the oil lamp on the table, looking at ease, not like being in a big prison, but like being in his own study.

Although the old prisoners are wearing prison uniforms, they are still clean and even their hair is well combed.

Hearing the movement, the old prisoner turned his head, not looking at Dou Ba, but at Qin Xiao said, "Xiaozi, did you find the books that the old man asked for?" /

Qin Xiao stopped and said respectfully inside: "Mr. Xu, just arrived a new guest. Your book has been found. I will send it to you later. Please wait a moment."

The old prisoner, Mr. Xu, gave a soft hum, and continued to read, taking care of himself.

Dou Ba opened his eyes wide, only to find it unbelievable. He had an illusion for a while, did he really go to prison?

Along the way, there are eight cells. Except for the eighth room that Dou Ba is going to stay in, the seven in front are actually occupied by people. Every time Qin Xiao passes by a cell, before the people inside speak, he speaks: "Wait a minute, come here now!"

Walk straight to the eighth room. There is a circle drawn above the cell door with the word "捌" written inside. This is naturally cell eight.

Qin Xiao opened the cell door, went in first to light the lamp, and the room lit up. Dou Ba realized that the cell was really clean and tidy, but compared with the furnishings in other cells, this room Only here

A wooden bed in the corner, with a toilet next to it, and nothing else.

Dou Ba frowned and couldn't help but said: "Qin...Qin Xiao, why am I so simple in this? Why are the tables and chairs missing?"

Qin Xiao put down the sack in his hand and raised his hand and said, "Master Dou, please sit down. You have just come in. You haven't figured out many things. I will introduce you to you." Fetters with both hands said: "Three days before entering, the **** has to be patient. Wear this thing first. Once it arrives in three days, you can open it. This room No. 8 has a bed and a toilet. Provided for free. If the dart teacher needs anything from now on, whether it’s for food, drink or play, as long as it is within the allowable range, if you ask, I will get it for you immediately."

Dou Ba said "Oh", a little surprised: "Whatever I want?"

"Yes, yes, Master Dou..., Master Dou, this name feels too rusty for me. I wonder if I will call you Uncle Dou in the future?" Qin Xiao said with a sincere smile: "This will make our relationship closer."

Dou Ba sat down on the wooden bed and said, "You call it whatever you want."

"Good." Qin Xiao is even more enthusiastic: "Uncle, I said, I will do my best to get you what you want. From now on, you will treat me as your junior. Don't be polite. For example. You can’t wear one set every day in your prison uniform. If you need it, I can get you another clean set immediately, so that you can change it every day. If the clothes are dirty, you say, I will let someone give it. You wash it clean, if you have a request, such as embroidering a flower on your clothes, I can do it."

Dou Ba nodded and said: "Yes, one set of clothes is not enough, you help me get another one, thank you."

"You are polite, uncle wants a new set of prison uniforms, I'll send it to you later." Qin Xiao spoke while taking out a small notebook from his arms. After opening the notebook, there was still one inside. A fine charcoal pen made of only charcoal, took the charcoal pen and wrote it down in the notebook, and then asked with a smile, "What else do you want?" Without waiting for Dou Ba to speak, he pointed to the toilet and said: "Uncle Dou every day Do you want someone to clean the toilet for you?"

Dou Ba immediately said: "That's natural." Looking at the empty wooden bed, he frowned and said: "This doesn't even have a set of bedding. How can I sleep? Can you get me a set of bedding."

Qin Xiao nodded repeatedly while remembering: "Naturally, it's still a bit cold at night. Although Uncle Dou is strong, he should still fall asleep on the bedding at night. Don't worry, I will get you a set of warm and soft bedding. . Uncle, what else is needed, I’ll write it down and I will send it to you when I look back." He looked up at Dou Ba with a serious face: "What are your hobbies? Do you like calligraphy? Would you like to use pen, ink, paper and inkstone? Or if you like musical instruments, I will give you a bamboo flute or something."

If it weren’t for seeing the people in the first few cells, it’s really comfortable, Dou Ba thought this boy was teasing himself, thought for a moment, and said: "I usually like to fight crickets, but it’s not very convenient here. That’s it. Let’s go. I like to drink. If it’s convenient for you, you can get me two jars of wine, which is the ancient city roast in Wanfulou. Also, you can get some snacks or beef roast duck. , If you can get Yupinzhai’s red oiled pork ears, it would be great."

"Convenient and convenient. You can get all these things. It's a trivial matter." Qin Xiao wrote down and asked, "What more?"

Dou Ba thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Let's just leave it here. If I need anything, I can talk to you again."

Qin Xiao nodded and said: "Okay, okay. Uncle Dou, just listen. You need a set of quilts, a set of prison uniforms, two burning altars in the ancient city of Wanfu Tower, and red from Yupinzhai. One portion of oily pork ears, another one catty of beef and one roast duck. In addition, the toilet will be flushed every day. Uncle Dou, is that all?"

Dou domineering: "Yes, that's all, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Uncle Dou is too polite, it's not troublesome, it's all I should do." Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Except for cleaning the toilet, which is a monthly payment, one tael a month, other things add up to 80 taels of silver, Dou Uncle, you definitely don’t have any money with you. I don’t know where your home lives. You can tell me the details, and I will be able to receive it at home!"
