"Liu Fugui, tell me first, what's going on? Others don't talk for a while. "The village chief is still very prestigious, although the humming sound is inevitable for a while, but it is also much quieter, at least it does not affect the speech.

However, Lin Yu was not surprised by the prestige of this old man, not to mention his words and deeds, just looking at the fact that he arranged for the two of them to live in the lonely and widowed Granny Zhang's house, instead of letting them live in his own house, it can be seen that the village chief is still more public-minded.

Lin Yu also stood aside, listening to what Liu Fugui said, what was going on? How did you get involved with the dead. In this kind of small mountain village, life is generally very quiet, and it is generally a trivial matter of the family, and it rarely involves the dead.

That Liu Fugui was still a little timid, although he was so frightened that he sat on the ground and almost rolled down the mountain, but at this time he was quite calm and could tell what was going on more clearly, unlike the two companions who are still trembling now.

It turned out that Liu Fugui and the three of them were entrusted by Xiaobai to go up the mountain to find the seedlings of the red fruit, and they set off early in the morning, but there were no seedlings of this kind of fruit tree in that place last time. One of them said that he had seen the tree elsewhere, and the three of them searched in that direction, but they did not expect that something serious would happen.

The corpses all over the place, the blood everywhere, the broken trees and shrubs, no matter how you look at it, it is a scene after a fierce battle. Even if they had never seen such a scene, they knew that the road was by no means an ordinary situation, and in addition to being frightened, they couldn't care about looking for the seedlings, so they ran back with a crawl.

"It's better to report this matter to the government. But it's not that urgent. The village chief pondered for a moment and said, "That's it, Fugui, you lead the way." I took a few people with me to see for myself. ”

"Village chief, you're not young anymore, do you want to go up the mountain?" Objections were raised.

"Why not?" The village chief's eyes twitched, "When I was young, I was the best hunter in our village. ”

Xiao Bai and Lin Yu glanced at each other, then interjected, "Village Chief, I have studied martial arts, and I have some martial arts. Let's take a look. ”

The village chief thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's it." I'll bother you, but this girl should forget it. There is no way up the hill to walk, it is not easy to walk tightly, and the girl is just adding to the chaos with the past. And it's not a good thing. A girl's family still doesn't want to participate. ”

Lin Yu actually wanted to follow along and take a look, at this point in time, after the large-scale fierce battle, there were many corpses left, and she was inevitably a little worried, worried that Tang Jie and their team had a problem. It's just that the village chief still makes sense to say this, and if you want to follow the past, you have to have a good rhetoric.

Lin Yu groaned. was about to speak, but Xiaobai took the lead. "That's what the village chief said, but I didn't plan to let her go with me."

The village chief nodded with satisfaction, and found a few hardcover young men to prepare to go up the mountain. Xiaobai took the opportunity to turn his head to Lin Yu and whispered, "You can relax your snacks, it may not be them, wait for me to go up and have a look." ”

The words have already been spoken, and Lin Yu is not good at refusing, and although he has practiced martial arts for a few days, his movements are definitely not as sensitive as those who have been on the mountain for many years, and it is indeed just a waste of effort to go.

It was only a quarter of an hour's work, Xiaobai and they set off, although the village chief was a little older, he was indeed walking like a young man, Lin Yu looked ashamed of himself.

It's just that I'm very worried, and I can't sit still, walking around, Granny Zhang saw her like this, and couldn't help but persuade, "Girl, it's useless for you to be in a hurry, and there is no danger for them to go up the mountain, although there is no staircase road on the mountain, but there are also familiar roads, at most they are just a little frightened." You haven't eaten since you woke up in the morning, why don't I get you a bowl of noodles? ”

Lin Yu said in his heart, where do you know what I am worried about? But I can't say this, this matter is also a top secret matter, I can't say it, I am still anxious. Although I already had a bad premonition in my heart, it hasn't really happened yet, and there is still hope in the end.

But when Xiaobai came back, he nodded at Lin Yu with slightly red eyes, Lin Yu still felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, his head was buzzing, and he couldn't hear a word of what the village chief next to him said.

It took nearly a quarter of an hour for her to slowly come to her senses, and by this time the village chief and the others had dispersed and gone back to their respective homes for lunch. She asked Granny Zhang for cold water to wash her face, and Fang raised her head and said to Xiaobai.

"Are they really?" Her voice sounded quite peaceful, but she still couldn't hold back, and there was a little choked tone.

Seeing her like this, Xiaobai was even more worried, even if she cried out loud and sighed, "Yes, I've been there." ”

"Take me to see it." Lin Yu took a deep breath and said.

"You better don't go, it's really miserable, I'm afraid you'll be too sad after watching it." When he mentioned this, Xiaobai couldn't help but reddened his eyes again, "Really, don't look at it, I can't stand it as a person in the rivers and lakes who is used to killing, and no one has survived." ”

"How can you not go and see it." Lin Yu lowered his head and sighed half-loudly, "If you don't take me there, I'll ask someone else to lead the way." ”

"Okay, you're prepared." Xiaobai couldn't help it, and sighed, "But before we go, we still have something to do." ”

It turned out that after seeing the situation, the village chief thought about it for a while, and felt that there was no way to hide it, so he called someone to report to the government. According to government practice, unclaimed bodies are buried in mass graves. In any case, he couldn't watch them being buried in a mass grave, so Xiaobai gave the village chief a hundred taels of silver, asked the village chief to help find a cemetery, and then buried even a thin coffin.

Of course, I can't say it directly, so I said that one is a stranger and looks pitiful, and the other is that I heard that a friend of a distant relative near me was doing business and didn't come back, and I happened to pass by here, and I suspected that it was them. Good life was buried, in case it was really them, so that the family could identify the body.

The village chief is still good, and doing such a good deed seems to be a virtue in ancient times, so he agreed to come down. plus 100 taels of silver to buy a coffin in the cemetery and hire people to help bury it, it is more than enough, and it can always spare more than ten or twenty taels of silver.

Lin Yu and Xiaobai said goodbye to the village chief, turned their heads and walked out of the village but went around the mountain over there.

Xiaobai still wanted to persuade Lin Yu to go back, "Xiaoyu, forget it, don't look at it, you really don't look at it, you can't stand it, I can't stand it, I close my eyes now and it's that scene." ”

"I don't know if I regret whether I go or not, but I will regret if I don't go." Lin Yu looked resolute and said lightly, "My philosophy of life is to never do something that I will definitely regret." ”

Xiaobai can't either, he also knows that Lin Yu is a soft and rigid personality on the outside, and he thinks about everything very clearly, and it is difficult to shake it.

"Forget it, anyway, you have to be mentally prepared. It's just that there is another thing that is more worrying, Brother Tang encountered an accident when they came in this direction, so it means that they can't go around to the west, and they are only afraid that the inspection will be very strict. ”

Lin Yu smiled bitterly, "Where can I take care of this, it's a big deal to go to Jinyang City again, in fact, it is still very common to be dark under the lights, especially after making a scene, they feel that they may have let people go." ”

At this time in Jinyang City, Zhang Bailong was dealing with affairs, browsing the information from everywhere, etc., as the quasi-head of the Zhang family, the heir to the power, Zhang Bailong's work was very heavy.

His servant Hachi walked in and saw that he was still browsing the documents quickly, and couldn't help but say, "Childe, it's time to eat, no matter how good your body is, you can't stand it without eating." ”

"I'll wait and eat again, and then I'll read this stack of letters." Zhang Bailongtou didn't lift his head.

"Wait, I think it's going to be evening again. Since that incident, you can't sleep for two hours a day, eat one meal a day, and even those who are beaten with iron can't stand it. Hachi angrily put the tray aside on the table and said.

"I'll just eat it." Zhang Bailong saw that Xiaoba lost his temper, and said with a smile, "This is also a matter of no choice, if you want to block the news, it is not only a matter of sending people to intercept it, but also to hide from the officials at all levels who are not our Zhang family, but also to stabilize those intelligence officers, thinking that there is nothing to do, and not reporting it to Beijing." In addition, balancing the strength of all aspects of the Zhang family, and the contact with the Chen family, all aspects are my business, how can I not be busy? ”

Xiao Hachi also knew the urgency of this matter, pouted and said, "Forget it, Son, hurry up and eat and continue to work, Hengzhi I am from the moment, and I don't have to worry so much." ”

It's just that I didn't eat an Ansheng at this meal, and halfway through eating, the brothers Zhang He and Zhang Jiang came in. Zhang Bailong put down his chopsticks again and called someone in to ask.

"How's it going, did you catch those two guys?"

Zhang Jiang said with some shame, "I'm sorry son, the other party's horse is a good horse in ten thousand, and we didn't catch up with them." After chasing for a day, I lost the chase and asked my son to punish him. ”

"Good horse?" Zhang Bailong pondered for a moment and said, but he put his mind at ease, "If you lose it, you can chase it away, you go back and rest for a while, and set off for Sunjia Town in the evening, I still think that there may be fish that have slipped through the net near there." ”

"Yes, Childe." The brothers said in unison.

"Doesn't Childe suspect that it may be Yin Susu's woman's righteous sister?" Waiting for Zhang He and Zhang Jiang to leave, Xiaoba asked.

"Since it's a rare good horse, I still think it's her, but her motives are quite clear." Zhang Bailong smiled, "Just look at this letter." ”

Xiaoba took the letter from Zhang Bailong's hand, there was no secret in this letter, it was the marriage trends of some families, including the royal family, which was very common information.

"I don't see anything?"

"Didn't you see what was written on the first page, the Seventh Prince is about to marry the second lady of the Liu family as the concubine? And the list of side concubines? Zhang Bailong said with a smile.

"So what?"

"Yin Susu's righteous sister and the Seventh Prince have a paragraph, they must be unwilling, they want to work hard, and it is good to mix with a side concubine? How infatuated women are, how lucky men are, I didn't understand it at first, but now I understand it. Zhang Bailong said with a smile, "Anyway, this person doesn't have to worry, even I don't have to be such a willful little girl to pass on information." ”

"This is also true, since ancient times, there have been many infatuated women, Yin Susu's righteous sister may commit suicide for love, thinking that she is a light and heavy student, she will not be willing to give up so easily." Xiaoba and Zhang Bailong also held the same view.

It's just that at this time, the infatuated woman Lin Yu didn't know the news at all, but was climbing the mountain. (To be continued.) )
