Chapter 182: The Truth Revealed
The next day, Wu Renliang thought about it all night and still had no clue, Cui Yan saw that his face was not good-looking and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you, your face looks so bad?"
Wu Renliang said: "It's not that I'm being troubled by the case, I didn't sleep well all night last night, it seems that this brain-consuming thing is really torturous, do you have any good ideas?"
Cui Yan said: "To solve the case, you have to go out to find clues, it's not okay to do it behind closed doors at home like you, if you want me to say that this village is not big, you may be able to find some clues if you go around with dim sum." ”
Wu Renliang pondered for a moment and said: "What you said makes sense, I'll go to Brother Zhu first to understand the situation later, and ask him if he has told anyone else about the treasure buried in the backyard." ”
Cui Yan said: "That's right, come on, have some breakfast first." The two of them shared breakfast together.
After eating, Wu Renliang found Zhu Fengrong to understand the situation, Zhu Fengrong said: "Wu Shaoxia, I won't tell you, I also thought about it all night last night, as far as the money buried in my backyard is concerned, I didn't tell anyone except my family, how can you just disappear, I really can't figure it out." ”
Wu Renliang said: "When you were digging in the backyard yesterday, did you see any suspicious footprints around you?"
Zhu Fengrong said: "I didn't find anything suspicious, I think this hateful thief must have been done in the three months since we moved out of the village, even if there is anything suspicious left, I am afraid that after a few months, I am afraid that it will be gone." ”
Wu Renliang frowned and said: "Now there is no clue at all, it seems that this matter is really difficult to do, the only good thing is that the person who committed the crime is very likely to be from this village, as long as everyone in the village is there, then he can't escape, I believe that sooner or later this person can be found out." ”
Zhu Fengrong said: "Then there is a lot of trouble with Lao Wu Shaoxia, and my wife and I don't have any thoughts about what to do now." ”
Wu Renliang said: "Brother Zhu must want to open something, the money is small, if you hurt your body for this, it will be more than worth the loss." ”
The two chatted a few more words, and then Wu Renliang left under the pretext of excuse.
Wu Renliang returned home sullenly, Cui Yan saw the unhappy expression on his face, and knew that there was no progress in the case, she brought a cup of tea and said, "Let's have a cup of tea, what clues do you have to find Brother Zhu in the morning?"
Wu Renliang sighed and said: "Don't mention it, there is no useful information at all, Brother Zhu said that there is money buried in his backyard, and no third person knows about it except for the two of them, you tell me about it, I am now big." ”
Cui Yan said: "Don't worry, Brother Zhu has no clues, maybe other people in the village have, as the saying goes, you can't contain fire in paper, there are so many people in the village, maybe someone will know some useful information, as long as you search hard, you will be able to find some clues." ”
Wu Renliang said: "It's best to be as you said, speaking of which, the disciples of the medical sect have been doing things in the village for the past few months, can you help me ask them in the afternoon if they have any clues?"
Cui Yan said: "Okay, I'll ask in the afternoon." You should be hungry after a busy morning, I've already prepared a meal, let's eat. ”
Wu Renliang said with a smile on his face: "Okay, eat, I don't want to do this brain-consuming work for the time being." By the way, if the wine is hot at home, I have to drink some wine to relieve my fatigue. ”
Cui Yan smiled: "I have already prepared it for you, I have been with you for so long, and I will not understand your virtue." Saying that, the two of them laughed and ate.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, Wu Renliang walked around the village all day and didn't get any valuable clues, and Cui Yan also found nothing after asking the disciples of the medical sect, and both of them felt very frustrated in the face of such a predicament.
On this day, the two discussed countermeasures in the house again, and Wu Renliang said with a distressed face: "Damn, where is this perpetrator hiding, how can he not find any useful clues?"
Cui Yan comforted him and said: "Don't worry, this matter is not in a hurry, the more anxious you are, the more difficult your brain is." ”
Wu Renliang pulled his hair and said, "My brain is already very confused now, if I can't find this thief, my brain will have to break one day." ”
While the two were talking, a shout suddenly came from outside the house: "Wu Shaoxia, Doctor Cuiyan, are you at home?"
The two hurriedly walked out of the door, only to see the villager Liang Dachun coming over and saying: "The two of you are at home, hurry up and follow me to Lao Zhou's house, his family has an emergency, and he will be dying of pain." ”
Cui Yan said: "You wait, I'll go into the house and take down the medicine box." He hurriedly walked out of the house.
After taking the medicine box, Cui Yan and Wu Renliang rushed towards Zhou Cheng's house with Liang Dachun.
The three of them rushed to Zhou's house to take a look, only to see Zhou Cheng's wife Ma lying on the bed with a pale face and motionless, as if she was dead. Zhou Cheng, Zhou Xing's father and son gathered around the bed with red eyes and looked very painful, seeing Cui Yan and others coming, Zhou Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Doctor Cui Yan, hurry up and save my wife, she doesn't even move now, I don't have a response to calling her, if she has a good one, how can I live." Tears flowed down his cheeks.
Wu Renliang hurriedly comforted him and said, "Brother Zhou, don't be sad, Cuiyan's medical skills are excellent, and Aunt Ma will be fine." ”
Cui Yan walked to the bedside to check Ma's pulse, and after taking the pulse, she said with a solemn face: "Brother Zhou, why did my sister-in-law fall ill?"
Zhou Chengdao: "It's strange to say, when I got up in the morning, I was good at it, after eating, I was going to work in the field, she was in the kitchen with a bowl, and suddenly I heard her holding her chest and shouting pain, Xing'er and I hurriedly ran over, only to see her rolling around on the ground, cold sweat on her face, and she died of pain." Xing'er and I were frightened, and quickly carried her to the bed, she kept shouting that it hurt, and the whole person shrank like a shrimp, I saw that it didn't work, and quickly called Lao Liang next door to come and see you, and when I went back to the house, my wife had passed out. ”
Cui Yan said: "I just diagnosed the pulse, and from the pulse there is no disease, sister-in-law's disease is too incomprehensible." ”
Zhou Cheng's face was panicked and said: "What do you say, isn't it a disease, could it be that you have hit something evil, Doctor Cuiyan, I beg you, but you must make my wife better." ”
Cui Yan frowned and said, "Brother Zhou, don't worry, I'll think of a way." ”
In the next two days, Cui Yan tried his best to feed the soup and medicine, and pricked the needle and massage, but Ma's illness still did not improve at all. In desperation, Wu Renliang had no choice but to use the true qi in his body to penetrate into Ma's body, but this method was not a long-term solution, it could only be extended for some time.
On this day, Zhou Chengzheng, who was depressed, was smoking a dry cigarette in front of the house, only to see him muttering to himself with a bitter face: "What kind of evil has this created, how can a good person say no, it won't work." ”
Liang Dachun, the next-door neighbor, came over and said, "Old Zhou, my brother-in-law's illness is not getting better?"
Zhou Cheng shook his head and said: "I'm still lying on the bed, I can't cure it after I ask a few doctors, it's a matter of time before I close my eyes like this, Lao Liang, why do you say that my life is so bitter, why did my old Zhou family have such a disaster?"
Liang Dachun was also sad after hearing this, and was silent for a while, Zhou Cheng's son Zhou Xing hurriedly ran over and said: "Dad, I inquired about something, the old Uncle Zhao at the head of the village said that Zhu Fengrong's family has an ancestral treasure realm that can eliminate evil spirits and exorcise demons, and he has saved people's lives in previous years. ”
Zhou Cheng was overjoyed and said: "Really, then let's hurry up to his house and borrow this treasure realm to save people." Saying that, he hurriedly ran towards Zhu Fengrong's house with Zhou Xing.
Zhou Cheng found Zhu Fengrong and said: "Old Zhou, I heard that your family has an ancestral treasure realm that can get rid of evil and exorcise demons, my wife has fallen unconscious on the bed for some reason these days, some people in the village say that she has fallen into an evil spirit, can you lend me the treasure realm, if you save my wife, I Zhou Cheng will repay you by being a cow and a horse for the rest of my life." ”
Zhu Fengrong said: "Old Zhou, it's unfortunate that you came, my family originally had such an ancestral treasure, but a few days ago, those treasures of my family were buried in the backyard and all stolen by thieves, so where did you let me go and lend this thing to you now." ”
Zhou Chengyi was shocked: "Your treasure realm is put together with the treasure buried in the backyard, isn't it?"
Zhu Fengrong said: "No, my whereabouts are still unknown, and I haven't slept well for many days since I was worried about this." ”
Zhou Chengdao: "Then let's do it first, Lao Zhu, don't worry, your baby can't be lost." He said that he hurried back home.
At night, Zhou Cheng, Zhou Xing and his son took hoes to dig up the treasures stolen from Zhu Fengrong's house in their backyard, Zhou Cheng said: "Dad, if we find out this copper realm, won't everything be exposed before?"
Zhou Chengdao: "This is God's punishment for your father, it's all your father's fault, you shouldn't have this greed, now your mother is sick like this, if this treasure realm can save her life, your father will be willing to go to prison." He continued to dig.
Sure enough, a heavy copper realm was found in the two boxes of treasures, which was particularly eye-catching among the many treasures, and it was not ordinary at first glance. Zhou Cheng was overjoyed and hurriedly picked up the copper realm and ran back to the house, with the protection of the copper realm, Ma's illness gradually improved, and a few days later it was as intact as ever.
Saying that the paper can't contain the fire, the matter of Ma's removal of the evil spirit due to the copper realm quickly reached Zhu Fengrong's ears, Zhu Fengrong was so angry that he smoked and said: "Okay, it turns out that our family's treasure was stolen by Zhou Cheng's thousand knives, and the villagers in the township dared to use such crooked brains, see if I don't take him to report to the official." As he spoke, he shouted to his neighbors to find Zhou Cheng to reason.
Zhu Fengrong's family rushed to the door of Zhou Cheng's house with a fierce attitude, Zhou Cheng knew that he was wrong and didn't defend himself too much, he returned all the treasures he stole in his original amount, Zhu Fengrong snorted angrily and said: "Old Zhou, what kind of heart do you say you have, we have lived in a village for decades, your conscience is to let the dog eat, how can you do such a black thing?"
Zhou Cheng sighed and said with a face full of shame: "Brother, this time it's me Zhou Cheng can't stand you, I don't know if I bumped into something evil that day and started such a crooked idea, isn't this your brother and daughter-in-law suffering these days, this is God's punishment for me, I don't have anything to say, brother, you can do whatever you want, I accept it all." ”
Zhu Fengrong said angrily: "Brother can't help you in this matter, you can only let the government have the final say." So saying, he took the treasure back to his home.
The theft of the Zhu family's treasures finally came to light, and Zhou Cheng was also questioned by the government, Wu Renliang, who was very troubled by this matter, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to Cui Yan: "I never thought that this matter would be such a result, I really responded to the old saying, don't stretch out your hand, you will be arrested if you stretch out your hand, think about how confidential Zhou Cheng is in this matter, but people are not as good as heaven, who would have expected that God would be able to open his eyes." ”
Cui Yan was silent on the side, Wu Renliang was stunned for a long time and then said: "Speaking of which, Qingfeng, Qianqian, and Xiang Chen have been to the plague land for a few months, why is there no news at all, will something happen?"
Cui Yan said: "All the nonsense, don't you have nothing to think about, what can happen with their skills?"
Wu Renliang said: "Although there are few opponents with their strength, you must know that there are people outside the world. They've been gone for so long, and there's no news at all, something must have happened. I can't wait here, I'll have to go see tomorrow. ”
Cui Yan said: "Don't be busy, the plague land is so big, where are you going to find them?"
Wu Renliang said: "I have to think about this matter, you don't care." As he spoke, he walked out the door.
