Chapter 159: Broken Corpses

"It's hot Lao Tzu, I haven't come back for a few days, and I still have to queue up at the city gate on such a hot day, I really don't know how to say it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

After Shen Qiao and Gu Xuan sat down, a man in his thirties with stubble on his face came in.

He had a bag in his hand and began to shout as soon as he entered the door.

At this time, a fellow stepped forward to take his burden and said, "Boss, why didn't you take the carriage?" On such a hot day, what should you do if you have heat stroke! ”

"But no, Lao Tzu's unlucky carriage broke down, and there was a quarter of an hour in line to enter the city gate, the key is that it came to me, and the soldiers guarding the gate also looked at my boss for a long time. Didn't I just haven't come back for a few days, and I haven't shaved my beard? It made me look like a thief in the ocean. ”

This is the man who is called the owner and said angrily.

He is the owner of this teahouse.

This time I went out to a small county town to eat and drink.

It was supposed to be a carriage, but the carriage broke down when it was about to reach the city gate, and it would not be repaired for a while, and he could not ride a horse, so he had to come back on foot.

He was so hot that he almost suffered from heat stroke along the way, and he thought that it was fortunate that his wife and children didn't go, otherwise he would have to bear it again.

"Wait a minute, the little one will serve you herbal tea immediately."

The little two pulled out the bench, asked the owner to sit down, and then turned around and went inside.

"I said Hu Laoer, in the past few days since you left, something big has happened in our Fucheng! Isn't that what the city gate is for? Mr. Lee did the right thing. ”

Said a guest who had a break.

He called the owner by name, and it seemed that the two knew each other very well.

"What's the big deal? What's the big deal about getting people out in the sun? Let me tell you, when I was queuing, there was an old man who came to Fucheng to visit relatives in the back, and he fainted directly. That's it, those bastard gatekeepers still don't let go, do you think it makes sense? ”

Hu Lao Er said disapprovingly.

"Hu Lao Er, I also said that the soldier brother did nothing wrong. In the past two days, several broken corpses have been found in our city, and they are being strictly investigated every day, do you think this can let people in and out casually? ”

Seeing Hu Laoer's attitude, the man directly told the situation, lest Hu Laoer say something more ugly.

"Broken corpses? What corpses? Hu Lao Er hadn't reacted yet, but he understood in an instant, his eyes widened, and he said, "You mean, broken corpses?" ”

Crushed?

Shen Qiao and Gu Xuan glanced at each other.

That's why!

After learning the reason, Gu Xuan lost interest, but Shen Qiao was interested.

She listened intently.

"Yes. The first time I found this was an arm, and in the early morning, by the moat, in the alley to the west of the city, there was a family's well that was dry, so they took advantage of the fact that it was not hot in the morning, and went to the moat with a basin of clothes to wash. The woman's clothes were not half washed, when she saw an arm floating upstream, and it was all foaming. It is said that the woman was scared to pee at that time. ”

The man paused and smiled.

He thought it was an exaggeration.

"Scared to pee? That's an exaggeration! ”

Hu Laoer continued.

"No, but according to those who saw it at the time, the arm floated downstream, but for some reason, when it reached the place not far from the woman's laundry, it did not move, and it was probably drifted to the shore. It was possible for the woman to see clearly and be frightened. ”

The man continued.

"And what's next? Didn't you say how many there were? ”

Hu Lao Er was interested, drank a large bowl of tea brought by Xiao Er, and continued to ask.

"Boss Hu, I know what's next. Because I saw it with my own eyes. ”

At this time, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old man at the other table said.

"Well, you say, you say."

The young man said, "The second time it was found was a leg, and on the night that the woman found the arm, it was almost the end of the hour, when it was getting dark."

There was a sudden scream next door to our house, and I was returning home from work when I heard the scream and rushed straight to his house.

As a result, one leg was hung from a rope from a big pear tree in their yard.

It was the aunt next door who was scared, and when she saw me go in, she fainted.

At that time, I had to call my grandmother to come and watch the aunt, and then I went to the yamen to find the catcher.

Finally, after asking about the situation, he took the leg away. ”

"A leg? Are you sure it's a human leg? ”

Hu Lao Er felt a little unbelievable and asked.

"Of course, although the pear tree next door is a little tall, the rope with the legs hanging is very long, one end is tied to the top of the pear tree, and the other end is tied to the leg, and the kind that can land with a few fists.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have seen it as soon as I walked in.

Moreover, that leg seems to have just been cut off, bloody, not afraid of your jokes, I have had nightmares for the past two days, and I have slept with my little brother at night. ”

The young man scratched his head at the end, a little embarrassed.

"With legs and hands, what about the head? What about the body? Oh, and what about the other legs and hands? Did it come after that? ”

Hu Lao Er asked curiously.

"Hu Er, you've missed a lot in the past few days! The body appeared, but the other hand, foot, or head were not found. And the strange thing is that the body is a woman's body, but the part connected to the legs is a man's, as for the hands, I heard from the people in the yamen that the hands are soaked and can't tell whether they are men or women. ”

In the teahouse, an older old man came over and joined the chatter.

"What? It's still two people! Isn't that just two heads that haven't been found? ”

Hu Lao Er instantly felt a lot cooler.

A chill ran down my spine.

"Not really. And the identities of these two people can't be clarified, our prefect has been sad in the past few days.

Every household was checked, but there were no suspicious people, and no one was missing.

Just yesterday at noon, the vegetable market suddenly took the arm of a doll that looked like a teenager from the sky, which was also bloody, which frightened the people in the vegetable market. No, the prefect has become stricter in the inspection of entering and leaving the city.

Because there was no suspicion of the people in Fucheng, they checked the people who came in from outside and those who went out of Fucheng.

I heard that the most suspicious thing is a felony who escaped from Wuling County half a month ago and was beheaded after this autumn.

So, don't blame Master Li, he has no choice but to do this! ”

The old man sighed.

"This ......"

Hu Lao Er didn't know what to say for a while.

He has only been out for a few days, and this kind of thing has happened in Fucheng, it's terrible.

By the way, hurry home and see if your daughter-in-law and children are scared!

Hu Lao Er thought like this, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he hurried to the backyard, where his house was in the backyard of the teahouse.

Hu Lao Er left, but the chatter of the teahouse people did not disappear, you glanced at me and said your views on this matter, as well as conjectures.
