"Listening to what you said, it was indeed not easy all the way." Fatty Zheng Zhui said drunkenly.

"Yeah. It's not easy." After saying that, Sun Chunxu fell on the wooden table with a drunken look.

Seeing Sun Chunxu, who had not drunk much, falling on the table, the fat man Zheng Zhui smiled slightly and fell on the table together.

Seeing the two men fall on the table, Li Xiran, who was once a slave, was used to it.

"Mother." Ziyuan shouted.

After hearing the sound, Li Xiran looked at Zi Yuan aside: "What's wrong?"

"Why is Uncle Xu so happy today?" Zi Yuan said while looking towards Chun Xu.

Xi Ran looked at Chun Xu who was lying drunk on the wooden table. Seeing Chun Xu's appearance, Xi Ran smiled.

Seeing that his mother had not answered him, Ziyuan shouted again: "Mother."

At this time, Xi Ran came back to her senses and looked at Zi Yuan: "What's wrong?"

"Mother, why is Uncle Xu so happy today?" Zi Yuan asked again.

Looking at Chunxu's drunken appearance, he recalled Ziyuan's words: "Your Uncle Xu always wanted to be a carefree young man in the world, but because of you, he has become a common man now."

"For me?" Zi Yuan looked questioning.

"Yes. Because of you, he gave up this wish to protect the two of us." As he spoke, Xi Ran seemed to fall in love with Chunxu.

"Mother, Uncle Xu is so kind." Zi Yuan said with a slight smile.

Looking at Ziyuan, who is now nine years old, Xi Ran seems to have seen his filial piety.

Looking out the window, it was getting late and there were no pedestrians on the street. Xi Ran stood up and said, "Zi Yuan, they are drunk. How about we help them go back to their bedroom together?"

"Yeah." Ziyuan stood up together.

The two walked to Chunxu's side, carefully helped Chunxu up, and carried him back to the bedroom step by step.

Chunxu was okay, but when it came to the fat man, the two of them were having a hard time.

With this figure, no strong man of three or four people would be able to lift it.

"Well, don't move." Fatty Zheng Zhui chewed in his mouth.

After hearing this, the two had no choice but to let go.

"Mom, what should we do?" Zi Yuan looked at Xi Ran.

Looking at the fat man, Xi Ran looked around: "Zi Yuan, go upstairs and get the quilt. Since you can't move it, arrange the chairs and let him sleep here."

"Okay." After answering, Ziyuan quickly ran upstairs.

While Xi Ran was lining up on the bench, Zi Yuan, who was only nine years old, came over holding the big quilt on the bed.

"Mom, the quilt is here."

"good."

After a simple arrangement, Xi Ran went upstairs with Zi Yuan holding a kerosene lamp.

The kerosene lamp was turned off, the room was dark, and everyone fell asleep.

"Coo! Coo! Coo! Coo!" the owl hooted.

In the middle of the night, the fat man Zheng Zhui, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked around at the darkness, shook his head slightly, and then stood up.

It was pitch black, but fortunately there was moonlight, which allowed him to see a little clearly.

His mind was groggy and his walking behavior was a little abnormal.

After groping all the way, the fat man Zheng Chui walked up the stairs.

Then, a loud snoring sound was heard.

Looking at the two closed doors, the fat man Zheng Zhui pushed towards one of the doors.

They saw Zi Yuan sleeping soundly on the bed, and Li Xiran lying on his side outside.

The fat man Zheng Zhui walked forward drunkenly, looked at the wooden cabinets, and carefully opened the drawers to look for something.

After searching for a long time, the fat man Zheng Zhui looked at the two people lying on the bed, carefully opened the cushions, and looked for them. After searching for a long time, he still couldn't find them.

Fortunately, the two of them were sleeping soundly and did not notice the fat man Zheng Chui's every move.

The fat man had no choice but to quietly leave the room and go to another room.

After opening the door, I saw that there was only a wooden table with nothing in the room.

Seeing this, the fat man Zheng Chui thought to himself: He said so much when we were drinking, why didn't he see any silver?

Now, the fat man Zheng Zhui had no choice but to touch Chunxu's bed again.

Sure enough, all the money was hidden here.

However, seeing that there were only two pieces of silver, the fat man Zheng Chui felt a little disgusted.

Something is better than nothing. Fatty Zheng Chui stretched out his hand.

By chance, Chunxu turned over and suppressed the two pieces of silver.

"I sleep so hard, so I'm not afraid of losing my money." Zheng Chui complained in his heart.

Seeing Chunxu sleeping so soundly, the fat man Zheng Zhui had no choice but to find a way to get the two pieces of silver.

After thinking about it, the fat man Zheng Zhui cautiously reached out and tried to help Chunxu turn over.

Just when things were about to go smoothly, Chunxu said something in his sleep, which frightened the fat man Zheng Zhui and stopped in a hurry.

After it was obvious that he was talking in his sleep, Zheng Zhui took another step forward.

This time, he mustered up more courage, helped Chunxu turn over with one hand, and hurriedly grabbed the two taels of silver with the other.

Fortunately, after the fat man Zheng Chui worked so hard, he finally got the money.

After receiving the money, Zheng Zhui hurriedly walked out of the bedroom and headed to the first floor.

I don't know whether it was because the moon was blocked by clouds or for some other reason, but when the fat man Zheng Zhui reached the stairs, he planned to climb out of the window. Unexpectedly, he accidentally lost his footing and the fat man rolled down from the top.

Because Zheng Zhui was too fat, there was a heavy layer of dust on the ground. Maybe it was because Xi Ran didn't sweep the floor seriously.

Zheng Zhui's mind immediately became refreshed after the fall. Seeing that there was no movement yet, Zheng Zhui stood up in a hurry and walked towards the window.

Perhaps the fat man's movements were too loud, which woke Xi Ran up in the bedroom.

Xi Ran stood up carefully, walked to the door, and looked at it with a sleepy face, but didn't see anything.

Suddenly Xi Ran yawned and went back to sleep.

Zheng Chui, who had not yet had time to evacuate, saw this and was so frightened that he was sweating. Fortunately, he did not delay his actions.

Enduring the pain, Zheng Chui broke through the window and escaped.

There was no one on the street at the moment, and everything was dark.

Zheng Zhui ran all the way with his fat figure, but because he was too fat, he became tired after only a few steps.

When he was tired from running, he walked, and when he was not tired, he ran again. Finally, Zheng Chui ran around the city gate.

The city gates are now closed, and people are not allowed to leave without authorization.

It was still Yin Shi, and there was still an hour before the city gates opened.

Zheng Zhui had no choice but to hide in the cracks of the house and wait for the city gate to open.

It's only March now, and the wind at night is still a bit desolate.

The fat man Zheng Chui couldn't help shivering as he slept among a pile of baskets.

After a long wait, Zheng Zhui heard the sound of the city gate opening and hurriedly woke up.

After waking up and looking at the narrow gap filled with radish baskets, Zheng Zhui couldn't care less.

He stood up in a hurry, stepped through it, and broke several backdrops.

Fortunately, the owner of the beggar is not here, otherwise, Zheng Chui would not be able to leave without a reward.

Soon, Zheng Chui successfully left the city gate.

However, at this moment, the kind-hearted family members have not discovered the missing silver taels.

"Where did Zheng Chui go this morning?" Chunxu asked.

After hearing this, Li Xiran, who was busy making steamed buns, said: "You're an adult, maybe you went out to hang out somewhere, and you'll be back in a while."

"Yes." Chunxu noticed something strange as soon as he finished speaking.

Seeing a few drops of blood beside the stairs, Chunxu asked hurriedly: "Xi Ran! Did you buy chicken?"

Xi Ran in the fire room was very surprised after hearing this and said: "No. What's wrong?"

Chunxu squatted down carefully, as if he were investigating a detective, wiped the blood with a finger, and smelled it. He found that the blood was new.

"Xi Ran! Did you hear any noise last night?" Chunxu asked again.
