Chapter 661 Details determine success or failure
Jiaren thought about it for a while, but did not refuse, and said: "Our family loves my sister so much, whether it is her father, the village bodyguard, or even the marquis, they all tell her a lot of stories about the rivers and lakes.
“So, when she knew we were going out this time, my sister compiled a pamphlet like this. It didn’t actually have a few sentences, but it was just some interesting stories to remind us to be wary of people’s dislike.
"You can watch it if you want, but please don't spread it outside! Although my sister is still young, she is still a woman, and her reputation is important."
“Okay, Brother Li, don’t worry, we will definitely not spread the news.” Lu Zong and Jia Xu quickly assured them.
When Brother Cat saw that his elder brother had agreed, he couldn't help showing off for a long time, so he took out the booklet he carried with him and started talking to the two of them.
Jiaren walked around the house a few times with his hands behind his back, still feeling that today's matter might not end so easily.
He wanted to take his brothers back to the fleet, but he was afraid of bringing disaster back.
What's more, I finally took my brothers to live independently for once, and I didn't want to end it so frightened.
But if you don't tell your uncle, if you are really touched by these evil people, you will suffer a big loss and there will be no regrets.
After hesitation, he asked Brother Li a few questions.
Brother Li is usually polite and gentle, and his smile is harmless to humans and animals. However, at this critical moment today, he is very reliable.
It can be seen that there is also a bit of ruthlessness in his temperament.
At this moment, Jiaren subconsciously no longer regarded him as a child.
Sure enough, after hearing his elder brother's inquiry, Brother Li turned his attention to Lu Zong and whispered: "Brother, the six of us are armed, so we are not afraid. But for safety reasons, we still need to find a few helpers."
Jiaren understood and took advantage of Brother Cat, the temporary storyteller, to drink water and asked Lu Zong, "Brother Lu, do you have anyone secretly accompanying you?"
Lu Zong was stunned for a moment, with a bit of surprise in his eyes, but he still said truthfully: "There should be four people, but they will only take action when I am in danger."
"Can you help me send the message secretly, without being followed by anyone, and send the letter back to the fleet?" Jiaren asked.
“Yes, this is easy.” Lu Zong nodded.
Jiaren quickly wrote a letter and gave it to Lu Zong, "Please ask your people to see if anyone is watching outside, and then secretly send this letter to my uncle."
Lu Zong stood up and walked to the opposite room.
Half an hour later, the young man from the Lu family brought a note and sent it over, saying: "Sir, the fleet has received a reply, and there is indeed someone watching outside."
Lu Zong frowned and handed the note directly to Jiaren without reading it.
Jiaren unfolded it and saw that it was his uncle's handwriting, with only six words written, "Don't worry, pay attention to safety."
Jiaren felt confident, so he asked Zheng Wu and Zheng Liu to prepare food.
Eat and drink enough before you can face another experience in the evening!
As night falls, everything should be completely silent, but due to the dragon boat fight tonight, people are coming and going on both sides of the inland river, making it very lively.
There are all kinds of people carrying lanterns, selling snacks, and selling river lanterns for fun.
Jiaren and others gathered near the window and could have a panoramic view of the excitement without going out.
Brother Li smiled and said, "It's really worth spending the money. You can stand high and see far without having to go down and get sweaty."
Brother Cat actually still wanted to join in the fun, but after what happened before, he was even more looking forward to another fun, so he took a piece of snack and lay on the window, eating and complaining.
“Why did you eat all the spiced melon seeds on the road? At this time, it would be more interesting to eat the melon seeds and watch the fun.”
Jiaren knocked on his younger brother and said, "You still have the nerve to say that you ate the most on the road."
Brother Cat was laughing and pretending to be stupid. Boating was boring. He was young and his brothers were reluctant to let him work.
So, most of the time, he sat on the side of the boat, staring at the scenery on both sides of the river in a daze. Of course, his mouth couldn't be idle. He ate here and there, and the box full of snacks his sister brought them was exhausted.
Lu Zong and Jia Xu stopped watching after watching it for a while. They had something on their minds and couldn't put everything down and enjoy it.
So the two of them retreated to the back, took the Jianghu Safety Manual and recited it silently.
There are some truths in the manual, and they understand them, and they even listen to the instructions from their family members.
But if it is written in black and white, easy to recite and interesting, they are more willing to learn more and imprint it in their minds.
From now on, if you encounter "traps" like Baili again, you will no longer be treated as a "pie".
Jiaren watched for a while and then came over to pour tea. Lu Zong couldn't help but ask him, "Brother Li, how did you find out that something was wrong with those people? And that woman, we really didn't find anything fishy."
Jiaren smiled faintly, "Details determine success or failure! Don't panic when something happens, observe calmly, and you will find many differences.
“For example, the old man was bent over but didn’t have a cane. He pretended to be a scholar, but there were no calluses on his wrists from writing.”
Lu Zong and Jia Xu were both surprised when they heard this. They originally thought that Jiaren had already revealed a lot of flaws in public, but they didn't expect that there were more details.
Jia Xu couldn't help but ask, "What about the woman, the one with the basket?"
Jiaren took a sip of tea and said, "This woman doesn't have many flaws, but when she came up she accused us, not just to watch the fun.
"And she is well dressed, but she only has a handful of chicken feather vegetables in the basket. Chicken feather vegetables are the cheapest vegetables here. They were sold in the market just now. They cost five handfuls for a penny, and she only had a handful. Where did they come from? You can’t just put it in casually, it’s just a show!”
These are all guesses, but it has to be said that they are indeed not consistent with common sense and are worthy of doubt.
Jia Xu blinked twice, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked dryly: "We just walked half of the market and ate some shrimp cakes. You even know the prices of vegetables here. This is amazing." ”
Jiaren didn’t think there was anything great about this, and asked instead: “We are here to experience, not to see the scenery, but more to see the food prices in various states, capitals and towns, and then the customs and customs.
"In the future, when taking exams, if the questions are related to people's livelihood, the articles you write must be meaningful. After all, the court's selection of materials is for the herdsmen, not to write more good poems and praise the scenery of Tianwu. beauty."
Lu Zong and Jia Xu looked at each other, as if they were enlightened, and suddenly felt that they had traveled all this way in vain.
The so-called experience, the real meaning is just like what Jiaren said!
Lu Zong and Jia Xu both stood up and solemnly thanked, "Thank you, Brother Li, for your advice!"
Jiaren quickly waved his hand, pushed them to sit down, and said with a smile: "We are just chatting casually, not much advice.
“Everyone has their own pursuits in life. I have seven brothers, and I am the eldest. If I want to support my family, I must take the scientific examination. Therefore, I pay more attention to people’s livelihood and the like.
“But you don’t have such pressure. It’s not a bad thing if you like to enjoy the scenery on the road.”
The three of them chatted and drank tea. From time to time, they heard Brother Li and Brother Cat shouting and cheering by the window, cheering for the dragon boat below. Then, they also smiled and stepped forward to join in the fun.
The dragon boat race lasted until the middle of the moon when it ended. The people gradually dispersed and the streets became completely quiet.
Jiaren closed the window and assigned a room to sleep.
A young man diligently came up with a bucket of hot water and went from house to house knocking on doors to ask people if they wanted hot water to wash their feet.
Everyone said they were too tired and went to sleep directly, so the boy went down too.
Actually, the boy didn’t know it at all. As soon as he came downstairs, people in the other three rooms gathered in the river view room.
Jia Xu was a little nervous and asked, "Brother Li, are you sure those evil people will definitely come tonight and enter this room first?"
