The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 4 Treasury Theft
"Hey--"

Hearing Second Sister Wang calling him behind his back, Lu Qian felt a "thump" in his heart, and turned to look at her.

I saw the charming and enchanting Second Sister Wang gently hooking her lower lip with a finger, leaning against the pillar of the canopy, looking at herself, her bright eyes turned, and said:
"Little brother Lu, see you on the ninth day."

The ninth day of the lunar new year is the day for the next market.

Lu Qian nodded and said, "See you on the ninth day."

After all, he turned and walked east.

Second Sister Wang was still leaning on the pillar, looking at Lu Qian's back, sneered, and said:
"Sexy brat without guts."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly felt another gaze staring at her. When she turned around, she saw the old man repairing shoes, and her face immediately pulled down:

"What are you looking at, useless old stuff."

The old shoe repair man bowed his head in shame.

……

……

Lu Qian was holding an oiled paper umbrella, and at this time he had turned from the market street into a small alley.

After leaving the market street, his pace suddenly quickened, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

His neighbor who "sells tofu" at the stall is, in all likelihood, a monster in disguise.

Lu Qian has been in this world for a month, and he has heard about some ghosts, but the villagers don't know much about it, and he has never seen it with his own eyes.

Therefore, Lu Qian, who has received compulsory education for many years, did not take these "stories" seriously.

However, today, he saw the paper-cut into a spirit, witnessed the monster transform into a human form, and set up a stall in the human market in a grand manner. Even the powerful policeman passed by without recognizing it.

In this seemingly ordinary world from the surface, not only are there ghosts and ghosts, but they are also very arrogant.

Do you want to tell these police officers about Second Sister Wang?
As soon as this idea popped up subconsciously, it was immediately rejected by Lu Qian.

No matter what this bean curd Xi Shi is, she looks like someone who is not easy to mess with.Since she didn't intend to attack her, it's better to have one thing more than one thing less.

What's more, is he sure at this moment whether these policemen really didn't see her demon body?

At least on the surface, Second Sister Wang has been maintaining a balance with the surrounding humans.

Once he goes to break this balance, God knows what will happen.

Lu Qian decided to buy some rice and go home quickly.After returning home, first upgrade the paper-cutting skills to the second level.

It is not difficult to upgrade the paper-cutting skills, just stick to the paper-cutting spirit every day.

Lu Qian walked through an alley and came to another small street in Wangjiaying.

There is a grain store on this street.

The name is very simple, it is called "Wangji Liangpu".

From a distance, outside the door of the grain shop, four sorrel horses were tied to the porch, but the passengers on the horses were gone.

Lu Qian was a little surprised. It was a coincidence that these arrests also came to Wangji Liangpu?
However, there was only this grain shop in the entire Wangjiaying, and Lu Qian had no choice but to go forward.

This room is actually a small door opened on the side of my house facing the street, and a table is placed across the door as a counter at the door, which is regarded as a storefront.

Inside is a small room, in which bags of grain are piled up.

Lu Qian came to the grain shop and looked inside, but saw that the room was empty without anyone.

The long table horizontally inside the door was also pulled away, obviously the people in the shop just went out.

The shop is open and no one is there?
Just when he was thinking about whether to call someone, another house not far from him suddenly shouted:
"Where is Wang Youcai? Tell him to come out."

Then, another woman's voice said: "My man has been away for several days, and he hasn't come back."

The man who scolded him snorted, and said, "What a coward, dare to steal money from the treasury. I'm really impatient. Search for me!"

It was only when Lu Qian heard this that he realized that someone from Wangjiaying Village actually went to the county town to steal the money from the treasury, and was arrested and chased here.

Kuyin was stolen, which was a top priority.No wonder these arresters braved the rain and traveled dozens of miles to the small Wang Family Camp.

Lu Qian moved to the door of the house that made the sound, and saw the courtyard door was wide open, and there were many local people standing inside, watching.

In the crowd, Lu Qian saw at a glance that the owner of Wangji Grain Shop was also among them.

No wonder the shop was empty, and I came here to watch the fun.

In the middle of the courtyard, a policeman in black clothes stood there.

Lu Qian had just met this man in the market street. He was tall and strong, with a powerful appearance. He was the head catcher among the ten catchers.

To be able to catch a head in a county, this person's strength is probably already at the top of the list.

In front of him stood a woman in her thirties who was dressed in plain clothes.

This woman is wearing gold and silver jewelry on her hair bun, earlobe, neck, and wrist, and her figure is quite charming.He just looked terrified, obviously frightened by these officials who suddenly broke into the door.

The rest of the police officers were not in the courtyard, apparently they went to search the room, or deployed control around the courtyard.

The catcher looked at the plain-clothed woman up and down, and asked: "You are a peasant woman, you are wearing gold and silver... and the silk clothes on your body, where did you come from?"

The woman said: "Yes...my man bought it for me."

From the looks of it, she is the hostess here, Wang Youcai's wife.

Lu Qian said in his heart: "This man's name is Wang Youcai. Looking at his wife like this, she really looks like 'Youcai'."

The head catcher snorted coldly, and said: "Even for inferior silk, it costs at least one tael of silver each. What do you do as a man, can you afford it?"

The woman had a cowardly look on her face, but she said her words very firmly: "My lord, we peasant women don't seem to break the law by wearing some jewelry and silk clothes, right?"

The head catcher glanced at her, then glanced at the villagers present at Wangjiaying, and said in a cold voice: "The officer has now found out that Wang Youcai of your village has stolen more than ten times in many places in this county in the past six months. He even sneaked into the treasury of the county government and stole 300 taels of silver from the treasury. Don’t you all know about this?”

All the villagers in Wangjiaying were startled when they heard this.

One of them immediately stood up and said, "My lord, although this Wang Youcai is from this village, he has only been married to our Wang family camp for half a year. We have never even seen his face, so we really don't know anything about him. .”

"Oh? So, what do you all know about him, and have any of you seen him?"

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

Seeing this, Lu Qian felt even more strange.In the same village, a living man has been married for half a year, but no one has seen him?

Finally, an old man in the crowd replied: "My lord, this widow Li... oh, she is Wang Youcai's wife. She was also a foreigner, and she married into our Wang family camp more than ten years ago. His husband died seven years ago." , she is the only one left in this family and has been a widow.

About half a year ago, she recruited another son-in-law called Wang Youcai.She is a widow with no relatives in the village, and she didn't even have a wedding banquet, and we only found out about her marriage later. "

Another person went on to say: "This Wang Youcai goes out early and returns late every day to work, so even my neighbor has never met him once."

Another person said: "I also heard that Wang Youcai is very capable. Widow Li's family was not rich at first, but since she recruited Wang Youcai to come to her door, her family situation has improved in a short time."

Someone echoed: "Yes, look at what she was like before. Now she is wearing gold and silver when she goes out, tsk tsk tsk... So her man is a thief, no wonder..."

"I really ate the guts to go to the treasury to steal money..."

Listening to these people overwhelmingly began to verbal criticism, Widow Li's face turned pale, she didn't know whether it was from anger or fright.

The head catcher looked at her and asked, "Don't you know anything about what your husband did?"

Widow Li trembled slightly, and said, "I... don't know..."

At this moment, a catcher came out from the main room, stood at the door, and winked at the head catcher in the yard.

When the head catcher met, he looked at Widow Li and said, "Let's go, let's go in and see your man together."

After that, he led her to the main room.

Seeing this, everyone naturally thought that Wang Youcai was in the house, so they all rushed forward, wanting to meet their "new" neighbor who had never met before.

Seeing this, Lu Qian got behind everyone and followed.

There were three policemen in the main room, standing by a bed, they only glanced at it, and then walked towards the bed.

On the bed, there was a lake-green brocade quilt, covered with a human-shaped thing, who seemed to be kneeling there, with his buttocks sticking out high, and his whole body shaking like chaff.

Seeing this, the head catcher sneered and said, "Let's take a look at Wang Youcai's real body."

A young policeman who was closest to the bed took a step forward and threw off the quilt.

The quilt was lifted, and everyone was shocked when they saw the "thing" under the quilt, and they were all stunned.

It was not a person shivering under the quilt, but a big black pig with black hair all over its body.
