Chapter 45: It's still there
The night is dark and quiet, except for the lantern in front of the door, only the tofu factory in the backyard is lit up.
The lights here are non-stop every night.
After Sun Cai ordered the halogen, he used the key to open the door from the inside.
The laughing guy under the porch of the door hurriedly got up.
"Give me all my heart, and if you dare to steal wine and eat while working, I will drive you back." Sun Cai walked out of the door and looked at the two young men and said.
"Master, you say it three times a day, we have written it down, don't say it again." A hip-hop laugh.
Sun Cai snorted.
"It's useless to say ten times if you don't take it to heart!" He said, "Now that the good life is not easy, you have easily changed your luck, if anyone does not do a good job, I will drive you back to be called Hanako!" β
"Master, don't worry, Master, don't worry, even if you don't do it well, we have to do it well!" The two guys said.
Sun Cai nodded with the shelf, and then noticed that something was wrong.
was gagging, Sun Cai suddenly stopped, and turned his ear outward.
"Master? What's wrong? A fellow asked, puzzled.
"I seem to hear, a lot of footsteps?" Sun Cai said, with a little uncertainty.
The night was dark, and even the insects were extinct, and the two guys subconsciously looked at the door, and it seemed that there was really a whimpering cry, and they couldn't help but shiver.
"Not yet, half a month and a half, no, no, no," said a low voice.
Sun Cai snorted.
"Hell, your head!" He glared and said, stretching out his hand to point to the restaurant in front of him, and pointing to the tofu shop behind him, "What kind of place is this?" Taipingju, Taiping tofu. The tofu workshop used by the Buddha! Which ghost would dare to come? β
That's just as well. The two men straightened up again.
"It's hot today. I'll just lay out a mat in the courtyard and sleep. Sun Cai tilted his head and said with a swagger.
As he spoke, he walked towards the courtyard, and when he reached the courtyard, he heard the shrill and whirling cries of women outside from far and near, tearing through the silence of the night.
It's not a cry anymore, it's a laughing and shouting or a meaningless roar that passes through the ears and only makes the hairs stand on end.
What is it that makes people make such noises? Or rather. It's not human at all...
Sun Cai jumped up with a scream, and the two guys under the porch also screamed and hugged each other.
The lights in the Taiping House were lit one after another, the windows and doors were opened, footsteps rang out, and people asked.
"Sun Cai, what are you doing?"
Xu Bang mallet stared and shouted from upstairs.
In the courtyard, Sun Cai hugged his head and stretched out his hand to point outside.
"The night ghost is crying!" He said in a trembling voice.
Xu Bangmao stared outward, and at this time, there was a lot of noise around him, talking and laughing, where was crying.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Maoxiu has already come out.
Because of the special nature of the tofu factory, several of their brothers slept around. Separately around the tofu workshop, if something happens. It can be held the fastest and tightest.
"Sun Cai's hysteria." Xu Bangmao said angrily.
"I'm not hysterical, someone is crying outside!" Sun Cai hurriedly shouted.
You can't bear the name of hysteria, otherwise your job will be ruined.
Xu Maoxiu frowned and raised his hand.
"It's all quiet!" He took a breath and shouted.
The cacophony of laughter suddenly stopped.
Everyone held their breath and silenced.
A sharp, elongated cry came with the wind.
The yard was suddenly chaotic again.
"Look, there's a torch!" The man standing on the second floor shouted, reaching out and pointing outward.
Torch?
The people upstairs tiptoed, and the people downstairs rushed to the door to look through the cracks.
Sure enough, a group of people appeared in the dark night, and three or four torches were burning, like a fiery snake winding quickly towards this side.
"It's Sister-in-law Asong!"
Someone upstairs shouted.
Sister-in-law Asong? Li Dasco's daughter-in-law?
Xu Maoxiu looked up at the man and saw that it was a guy brought by Li Dascoo, who was obviously very familiar with Li Dasco's family, and his face was shocked at this time, as if he was afraid.
"Those people are from our village, carrying a person!" He shouted again.
Xu Maoxiu and Fan Jianglin glanced at each other, and their hearts chuckled.
Something happened!
The city gate of the capital is not closed by beating the drum from time to time, and the five watches are open by beating the drum, and now it is summer, and the day is early, so it is changed to four watches.
So when the third watch was called in the middle of the night, the city gate guards did not have a good face.
"What a roar!" They poked their heads out and scolded, "The night ghosts don't need to call us when they walk. β
There were more than a dozen people in front of the city gates, holding torches, and their pale faces were reflected in the black smoke of the fire, no better than ghosts.
The guards at the city gate had seen a lot of strange things, but they couldn't help but shiver at this time.
"Look." There was also a companion who clubbed his arm with his arm, "Blood." β
Everyone looked down, and sure enough, they saw that these people were stained with blood under the torches.
The gate guards suddenly shrank back.
"Poor master, we are going to the city to see a doctor!" Xu Maoxiu shouted loudly, "Save people in an emergency!" β
Exceptions may be made to open the gates of the city in the event of sickness, childbirth, and funeral.
Is it an emergency? No wonder.
The gate guard poked his head out again.
"Is there a paper?" He asked.
Xu Maoxiu hurriedly raised the document that was being opened in his hand.
The gates slowly opened, and several guards were able to see people up close, and they couldn't help but be startled.
There was a man lying on the door, his face no longer showing its original appearance, it was bruised, swollen and bloodstained.
This is clearly the result of a blow.
The gate guard shook his head meaningfully.
Xu Maoxiu stuffed a handful of money to the guards.
"Let the poor master bother, take this money to drink tea." He said.
Seeing that the man was tall, dressed simply, but acting calmly, the guards weighed the money in their hands and nodded with satisfaction.
"The nearest bone-setting hall is on this street." He pointed as he pointed as he ordered the two guards to follow.
Although there is already a document, they still have to follow them in person if they enter the city in the middle of the night.
Xu Maoxiu had already raised his feet and stepped forward, but he didn't know if he heard it or not.
"Here, come with me." He shouted. Rush to the city first.
The crowd then followed the hula and poured out. The two guards shook their heads and were about to follow. There was another person stumbling back in the back.
It was a woman, also stained with blood, holding a package in front of her, which was also stained with blood.
Under the light of the city gate lamp, the woman's face was pale and her eyes were blank, like a ghost.
"It's still there, it's still there." She muttered.
"What's still there?" The guard asked.
But the woman seemed to be lost and ignored.
"It's still there. It's still there. She muttered as she stumbled forward.
The guards who have suffered this sudden change have also seen a lot, and some of them were stunned on the spot, and some of them were crazy on the spot.
It seems that this woman is of the latter type.
"It's a difficult world." The guard sighed, for many people, a small change can turn life completely upside down.
He waved his hand and motioned for the two guards to follow.
After this delay, the group of people had already run far out of the street, and the two guards were busy chasing after them.
The sound of chaotic footsteps sounded in the streets in the middle of the night.
"No, no, the medical hall is here!"
The two guards looked at the crowd in front of them and didn't go to the bone-setting tube that had just been pointed out. Instead, he walked down the street towards the city, shouting hurriedly.
No one paid attention to them.
Even fell behind the most. The woman, who had fallen after running a few steps, did not look back, got up and stumbled, then fell, got up again, and continued to run forward again and again.
Isn't it a villain!
The two guards were startled and watched as the group of men ran down the street without a trace.
"There are a lot of them," said a shudder.
In case of murder, the two of them will not be enough to be sacrificed to the knife.
But if they really commit murder, even if they are lucky enough to avoid a life at this time, they will definitely die when they are investigated afterwards.
In a cold sweat, the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the street, and the two were immediately overjoyed.
Those who dare to walk around the street in the middle of the night are guilty of night crimes, let alone riding horses.
Naturally, the teacher is famous for being able to do this.
This is Jin Wuwei, who patrols the streets.
"Grown-ups!" They turned and ran to the sound of the horses' hooves, waving their hands and shouting, "Come on! β
Seeing that someone shouted and rushed over in the middle of the night, the street patrol pulled out the knife from the brush of more than a dozen people.
"Who?" The man at the head shouted.
"My lord, my lord, we are the guards of the city gates." The two hurriedly shouted, walked in some, and then saw the man in front of the horse, and immediately overjoyed, "It's the general Liu!" [Note 1]
Hearing this, he looked at it a few times and put away his weapon.
"If you don't defend the city, what are you doing in the streets?" Lord Liu asked.
"My lord, someone just went to the city for medical treatment, and we escorted them to inspect it, but they ran away," the two replied hurriedly.
How so? How dare any villain? It's so bold!
Lord Liu was furious, and pulled out the waist knife that had just been put away.
"Sons, follow me to catch the thief!" He shouted.
With the sound of hooves like a torrential rain, a dozen cavalry patrols rolled up a fierce wind in the streets, blowing only the two gate guards to the side.
"This is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, let's go quickly!" One stood still with his hat and shouted.
With these soldiers, it is not their turn to catch thieves and shed blood, but they are still indispensable for being loyal to their duties and being brave and fearless.
The two men chased after each other on two legs.
Xu Maoxiu and the others were stopped in front of Cheng Jianniang's door.
"We're seeing a doctor! It's not a villain! Xu Maoxiu shouted hurriedly, pointing to Li Dascoo lying on the door panel.
The people around them ran all the way, but at this time they were stopped by the armor soldiers, and they couldn't support it anymore, they all stuck out their tongues and gasped for breath, and even those who were in poor health simply fell to the ground.
It's a bit worse to be a villain like this.
General Liu had already half of the thought that it was a misunderstanding, and his gaze swept over the man on the door panel, and then frowned again.
"Then you don't look for a medical center, what are you running around?" He asked.
"My lord, it's not something that can be cured by just a medical center." Xu Maoxiu said.
General Liu had more doubts in his heart.
"This is a wound, the skin injury looks terrible, you can't die, why can't it be treated?" He shouted.
Xu Maoxiu looked at him with a sad expression.
Sometimes, it's easier to die than to live.
"Saburo-kun! Sure enough, it's you! β
The maidservant's voice came, and the door of a house not far away opened.
The maidservant Jin Ge'er ran out with a lamp.
"What's wrong? Why did this time come? The maidservant asked urgently.
Xu Maoxiu turned to that side.
"Please, sister. Help me. He said in a hoarse voice.
Younger sister?
General Liu was even more surprised. Sister help?
He looked up at the mansion. The lanterns in the courtyard have been lit, illuminating the clean and tidy courtyard.
The sound of hitting the stone made him startled, and he saw that there was water gurgling out of the bamboo bamboo on the rockery in the corner of the wall, washing the smooth mountain stone.
Is this a medical center?
His gaze turned to the porch, where the man on the door panel had been lowered, and a woman was coming out of the room, carrying the interior light. I couldn't read the description, but I saw her shake her wide sleeves and sit down on her knees.
"Is it just a skin injury?" Cheng Jianniang asked, looking at Li Dasco on the door panel.
"It's not." Xu Maoxiu said, his voice a little hoarse.
The maidservant girl and Brother Jin were all around, looking at the unrecognizable Li Dascoo, their eyes were red and crying, and they all looked at Xu Maoxiu when they heard this.
It's all been beaten like this, is there still a wound?
Cheng Jianniang didn't look at Xu Maoxiu, but at Li Dasco, her gaze gradually moved down. Then he stopped and sat up straight.
Although the expression is as blank as ever. But this kind of action is enough to show her shock at this time.
The three of them hurriedly looked at Li Dasco.
Lie flat on your back and place your hand at your side...... No, there were no hands, just the bloodied wrists that strangled the wrapped bag.
"Where's the hand?" The handmaid screamed.
Hand?
General Liu took a step forward and looked at the man on the door panel.
"It's still there, it's still there."
The woman's murmur sounded again, and General Liu's body was knocked down, and he frowned as a woman stumbled past him, holding an object in her hand.
"It's still there, it's still there." She stumbled and fell as she stepped up the steps.
The servant girl Banqin hurriedly cried and went to help.
Sister-in-law Ah Song didn't seem to notice it, she struggled to the porch, knelt beside Li Dasco, looked a little relieved, and put the cloth bag next to Li Dasco, as if she had unloaded the burden.
She carefully opened the cloth bag, revealing one of her white hands.
"It's still there, it's still there." She continued, a smile on her face.
Hand!
One hand!
Broken hand!
The maid and Banqin stood closely, and suddenly saw that they couldn't help screaming and hiding their faces and retreating, and Jin Ge'er was also so frightened that he took a few steps back.
And General Liu took a few steps forward, with a little abruptness and a little complexity.
That's right......
That's what the lady said, trouble?
Oh my God, oh my God.
The servant girl covered her mouth with a look of horror.
The cries of the maidservants in the courtyard and the dull sighs of the men, combined with the giggling laughter and the repetition of the two words, made the atmosphere almost breathless.
"I, I..."
Li Dascoo on the door panel woke up faintly, his swollen eyes slightly slit, and his broken lips squirmed.
"Help..."
His voice was small and weak, but Xu Maoxiu and the others who were close to him could still hear it clearly.
"Big brother, don't be afraid." Xu Maoxiu said in a dumb voice, reaching out to hold his arm, "Help, the thief has been beaten away, you have nothing to do." β
It's all wrong...
Li Dasco slowly turned his head.
"I, my life was saved..."He muttered, trying to open his eyes, and seeing Cheng Jianniang in front of him, he suddenly had a little more strength, "Lady, can my illness be cured?" β
"It can be cured." Cheng Jianniang said.
Diseases can be cured, but what about hands?
The maidservant and Banqin covered their mouths to hide their uncontrollable crying.
Li Dasco grinned.
"Yes, lady, healed my illness....and... My lifeβ" he said weakly, trying to lift his hand as he tried to lift it, and then he thought of something, gasping for breath, "My, my, hand..."
Xu Maoxiu turned his head and couldn't bear to look at it and listen to it again.
Sister-in-law Ah Song, who had been muttering beside her, heard this, and immediately happily held her severed hand.
"Yes, yes." She said loudly.
Banqin couldn't hold back anymore, and cried loudly.
The maidservant knelt down and hugged Ah Song's sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law Asong, sister-in-law Asong, cry out, cry quickly." She shouted, shaking Sister-in-law Asong.
Sister-in-law Ah Song looked a little panicked and helpless, as if she didn't understand why she wanted to cry for herself.
"Yes, yes." She still said, clutching the severed hand.
"Stun her." Cheng Jianniang said.
As soon as the words fell, Xu Maoxiu raised his hand without hesitation and hit the back of Ah Song's sister-in-law's neck.
Sister-in-law Ah Song fell down softly.
"Hold it down." Cheng Jianniang said.
The maidservant and Banqin hurriedly joined forces to support and retreat.
The severed hand fell to the ground, and the flickering lamp became more and more white.
Bloody water flowed from Li Dasco's face, and his voice whimpered.
"It's gone, it's gone," he whimpered.
Without hands, even if there is a life, what is the use.
Without hands, he is no longer a cook, he is a waste, and a waste.
It's like the waste that was driven away by the drunken Fenglou at the beginning, just like the waste that was lying in bed waiting to die.
He's a piece of shit.
Even if there are nobles to help him live a good life for a few days, he is still a waste, and he will become a waste after all, this is his life, this is all life.
"Lady, in fact, life cannot be cured..."Li Dasco muttered.
