Chapter 60: The Nameless Dead
Rong Hua, who was the referee next to him, looked surprised, stared at the beggar, and muttered in a barely audible voice: "Good boy! Keep this hand! ”
"I didn't expect you to be so good at mental arithmetic, okay, I just need someone to manage the accounts in the future, you, I'll accept it!"
Ruan Ge pointed to the beggar in front of him and said happily.
The beggar bowed down and said in a deep voice: "Thank you girl for her success, from now on, I will live up to expectations and follow the girl for life."
The fat boss of Chu Yuelou stood aside without saying a word, his face flushed into the color of pork liver.
Xiao Er'er snorted on the side: "Shopkeeper, you are known as the golden abacus in the capital, and you also lost to a beggar, I see our Chu Yuelou seeing this face...... I'm afraid I can't keep it. ”
The shopkeeper was angry when he lost and couldn't get off the stage, but when he heard that the guy was also mocking him, he was so angry that he jumped like thunder.
grabbed Xiao Er's ears vigorously, and scolded while dragging them out of the box: "You stinky boy, I'll let you say cool things!" Our Chu Yuelou is also embarrassed because of you fools. I didn't eat dinner today, I didn't have the strength, so I lost to the stinky begging for food. ”
Xiao Er was pinched by the ear, wailing, and didn't forget to return the mouth: "I obviously saw that you just ate two bowls of white rice, and you also ate a big chicken leg ......"
"I'm telling you nonsense, if I hadn't listened to your dead dad, I wouldn't have asked you to ......"
The voices of the shopkeeper and Xiao Er'er gradually went from high to low.
Ruan Ge covered his mouth and smiled, his eyes bent into a beautiful crescent shape.
Ruan Ge kept his promise, ignored Ronghua's eyes, and took the beggar back to Ronghua's courtyard.
It was not too early to return to the courtyard, Ruan Ge asked Ronghua to ask his subordinates to take the beggar to freshen up, change the dirty and tattered clothes, and then help arrange a place to rest for him.
In the dead of night, the voices of people in the courtyard gradually quieted down, and the whole courtyard slowly fell into the deep night.
I don't know how long later, suddenly a terrifying and terrifying woman's scream resounded throughout the courtyard.
The sound pierced through the night like a sharp blade, striking everyone's eardrums with unusually sharp intensity.
Almost all the people in the house were awakened, and the lights came on one after another, and in a few moments, the entire courtyard was brightly lit.
There was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the backyard, and then the maids and women ran out, asking each other in horror, but they all wondered what was going on.
Ruan Gegang was a little drowsy in a daze, but the noisy voices outside disturbed her sleepiness. Reluctantly got up, summoned the maid in and asked.
"Sakura, what's going on outside? Why is it so noisy? Ruan Ge shouted outside the house.
After a while, Sakura, the little maid who served her, ran in in a panic, her face pale and trembling.
"Sakura, what's wrong with you?" Ruan Ge asked.
Sakura was frightened, and stammered, "Girl, out, something happened." Xiao Ling, the fire girl in the kitchen, got up in the middle of the night and wanted to go to the thatched house, but when she heard someone knocking on the back corner door, she went to open the door to check, and when she opened the door, she found a corpse with an extremely terrifying death in front of the door. She was so frightened that she fainted. Mama Liu and the others all went to see it, and said that it was really terrifying, the flesh and blood on her face were blurred, and there was no one at all. ”
When Ruan Ge heard this, he hurriedly asked, "How can this be?" Is it confirmed that the person is dead? ”
Sakura said: "The slave didn't dare to come forward to see, I just listened to what they said, but I heard that the prince was also alarmed, and he was taking someone over to check it." ”
Ruan Ge lifted the quilt, stumbled up from the bed, and said to Ying'er: "Ying'er, go, lead the way, take me to see." ”
When Ying'er saw that Ruan Ge was going, she hurriedly stopped her, and said in horror: "Girl, don't go, you are not in good health, if you are frightened, how can you get it?" If the prince blames him, the slave and maid can't afford it. Please, don't go. ”
Ruan Ge smiled and said: "How can I be so delicate, don't worry, I am mentally prepared, hurry up and lead the way." If you are afraid, then hide behind me, and I will protect you. ”
Sakura couldn't resist her at first glance, so she could only listen to Ruan Ge's words and lead the way for her. Before going out, I put on some thicker clothes and robes for her to prevent cold.
The courtyard was already brightly lit, and many families were rushing to the backyard with lanterns and torches.
Still some distance away from the accident site, I saw a large group of people gathered at the back corner door of the courtyard, and there seemed to be something surrounding in the middle, and everyone was whispering eagerly.
Some shook their heads and sighed, while others said to the people next to them, "Who is this?" How did you end up here? It's such a tragic death. ”
Ruan Ge had already seen Ronghua, obviously he had just arrived at the accident site, she hurriedly walked forward, shouting as she walked: "Ronghua!" What's going on? ”
Ronghua heard that it was Ruan Ge's voice, and hurriedly turned around to block in front of Ruan Ge.
"Nothing, don't look at it. Sakura, what did I tell you? Hurry up and take Miss Ruan back to rest. Ronghua said in a deep voice.
Ying'er lowered her head in fear, hurried to Ruan Ge's side, and said pitifully: "Girl, listen to the son, let's go back first." This is not the place we should be. ”
Ruan Ge patted the back of Ying'er's hand to show comfort, and smiled at Ronghua: "What's all the fuss, how can my spirit be so fragile." Isn't it just a dead body? It's not like I've never seen it. Look at how scared Sakura. ”
Saying that, Ruan Ge couldn't help but say, pushed away Ronghua, and walked straight into the crowd.
After entering, Ruan Ge saw a person lying in the middle of the crowd. Under the light of the lamp, you can see the face rushing down, and the face is invisible. His hair was scattered, his body was scarred, and the blood had formed a brown scab on his clothes.
Ruan Ge asked, "Are you sure this person is dead?" Has anyone checked to see if there is still breathing? ”
One of the family members replied, "Girl, this man has been injured like this, and he must be completely dead." ”
Ruan Ge said: "That is, no one has checked it?" ”
After speaking, Ruan Ge made a gesture to squat down to check, but was pulled by Ronghua: "What are you doing?" It's just a nameless corpse, and I'll hand it over to the government tomorrow, so you don't care. ”
Ruan Ge's face sank: "If you don't confirm whether the person is dead, you should treat it as a corpse, which is not appropriate." ”
Ronghua opened his mouth and didn't say anything.
Ruan Ge ignored him and continued to squat down to check. Ronghua was helpless, pulled Ruan Ge up, and said in a deep voice: "I really can't help you, you better step aside in this matter." I'll take a look. ”
As he spoke, he pulled her aside, then crouched down to examine the body on the ground.
Ronghua gently turned the corpse's face around.
Everyone suddenly gasped, some people screamed, and even Ruan Ge, who was calm and composed, not only felt nervous. Ying'er was even more trembling and hid behind Ruan Ge and didn't dare to come out.
The man's face was poked with bloody holes, and the corners of his mouth were cut off, extending to his cheeks, and in the firelight, he looked like a grinning ghost.
