Chapter 52: Dead Wood Springs 2
There was actually a murder case?
Dijiang found a tree, stopped, listened to the case and left.
The business of the glaze factory is not booming, and the antique collection industry has just begun to regain its vitality, because now people's wages are about the same, and the people who will come here to shop for goods are basically enthusiasts, and there are few profiteers who are rebellious and want to take advantage of the fact that the antiques are not worth much, and want to pocket them.
As far as Dijiang usually observes, there are only two or three shops selling wood carving collectibles here, mainly selling ancient collections, but also selling modern carvings.
Dijiang has heard a lot of killing methods, how does this wood carving kill people?
The old man who came to look for trouble was followed by a few sturdy men, and he counted the pockmarks on the street. "What kind of thing are you selling, my baby swallowed that ball and died before he could be sent to the hospital for rescue, can you afford to pay for this life! You murderer! β
The old man spat at Hu Mazi, and even angrily threw a big dog wood carving at Hu Mazi.
Hu Mazi's eyes widened and blocked the wood carving. He looked at the unreasonable old man, he didn't want to sell this wood carving at all, a week ago this old man with his grandson had to buy it, and now it is clear that he didn't take care of his own children, why should he count the problem on others.
"I said you keep your mouth clean, who is the murderer! Last week, you insisted on buying my tengu food day, but I didn't give it to you, and your child was almost robbed! I said earlier that the child is young, and he is not suitable to buy this wood carving back, in case he bumps into it, there will always be unhappy things, and now you blame me? It's the first time I've heard that I'm stuck eating, not to mention that I'm careless and go to the seller for trouble. β
As soon as Hu Mazi said this, the onlookers on the side also remembered who this old man was, who had come to Liulichang with his precious grandson last week.
The wood carvings sold by the Hu family are ornamental antiques and handicrafts that are not suitable for children. Mainly because this is not a special toy for children, some of the collections have sharp edges and corners, and it is easy to have accidents.
Hu Mazi is a solid-eyed shopkeeper, and he doesn't see money at all.
The old man came out to play with his grandson in his arms last week, and his child looked to be only three years old, and he fell in love with a wood carving in the store, which was a tengu eating day. It's a big dog eating a round sun. This is not an antique, it is a modern handicraft, but it is also carved very vividly, showing the very ferocious side of the tengu.
Hu Mazi couldn't understand how a three-year-old child could like such a murderous work. The image of this tengu is similar to that of a Tibetan mastiff, and the hairs on its neck are sharply erected, revealing its fangs and half-biting the big sun. Hu Mazi said that if you really like wood carving, change it to one without edges and corners, so that the child will not hurt himself by mistake, but the bear child refused, so he recognized this dog eating day.
Hu Mazi also has children at home, and he knows that the child sometimes has no judgment and everything goes well, but it hurts him. If adults can distinguish right from wrong at this time and don't be so accustomed to children, they should listen to Hu Mazi's words. However, the old man saw that his children liked this dog food day, and he said that he would buy anything.
According to the old man's statement, the sun-like ball was probably torn out of the tengu's mouth by the child, and then the child somehow swallowed it, and when it was halfway swallowed, it got stuck and died.
The people around whispered, "It's the grandfather and grandson, I remember that the kid was domineering, when Hu Mazi said that this thing was not suitable for children to play, the kid made trouble, and dropped a few things on Hu Mazi's Bogu shelf!" β
"That's him! I also heard that the child was like the little prince, and he refused to let go when he saw the things he liked, Hu Mazi said that he would not sell them, and the old man snatched the wood carving and threw a stack of money and left. This is really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs, and now something happens and comes to make trouble, how can it be so brazen. β
"Who knows, you see that this old man is still followed by thugs, should we call the police? I always feel that the person who comes is not good. β
The old man is indeed a bad comer, and he has already commanded a few big men behind him to smash the store. The people around the police called the police, and looked for the rack that went up to pull the frame.
As soon as the commotion began, within five minutes a man carrying a birdcage and a group of young people surrounded the troublemakers.
"I said which way you are on, I didn't ask before I came, who is covering this place. Last time, I bought something more than looking for you, and now I hit the door, it's really a way to heaven and you don't go! β
This scene is almost the same here, although there has been a severe crackdown in recent years, some gray forces always save zΓ i, such as paying some protection money, and then can avoid unnecessary losses caused by the police when they are disturbed.
The one who appeared with a birdcage lived in the alley behind the Liulichang, and everyone called him Starling, named after the bird he liked. A team of young people, led by Starling, is dedicated to protecting the merchants and residents here from evil forces.
When Di Jiang saw that the starling was coming, he flapped his wings and left, this matter is unreasonable for the old man, and it can't be counted on Hu Mazi's head.
Although there was a commotion at the other end of the glaze factory, the widow at the corner did not go out to watch, and the shopkeeper Zhang had already gone to watch, so he didn't need to join in the excitement.
"Knock knock!" Mu Feng heard the sound of knocking on the window, and he looked up to see Di Jiang. This sparrow still knew that he was back, and he thought that Dijiang had been abducted in Kunlun and would never come back.
Ying Wei opened the window to let Di Jiang in, and he saw that Di Jiang's bird had several bald places on its belly. Who is this bird fighting with?
Bird plucking, really well done!
"What's wrong with your stomach? I heard that there is a sale of hair growth spirit in the market recently, which is said to be pure herbal extract, and has no side effects, do you want to have a little? β
Ying asked with great concern, he didn't forget that when the bird looked at him, he always had a disgusted expression. Through the ghost cultivation notes, he somewhat understood that he had a ghost aura on his body, which made the year beast who also belonged to the Yin type of monster like it very much, but Di Jiang, a monster born in chaos, although he did not reject the yin qi, he could not say that he liked it.
Di Jiang didn't have time to stand on the table and cover his stomach with his two wings, so he grabbed the wooden seal in his hand. Mu Feng opened Di Jiang's two wings and looked at Di Jiang's belly carefully, except for baldness, there were no other scars, and the possibility of healing was not ruled out.
"What's going on? Who did you fight with? Have you found Lu Wu? He's not very friendly? β
Mu Feng asked four questions in succession, really concerned about this red-haired sparrow. Although Dijiang did not explicitly say the danger of Kunlun, Mufeng would check the information by himself, and many places there were inaccessible, who could guarantee that Dijiang would not have an accident?
Di Jiang is the first monster he encountered, although he is not too close to each other, and when it comes to the key issue, Di Jiang, who has no head, will drop the chain, but he is always a friend.
Ying Yi took advantage of Mu Feng to ask questions, and also took a closer look at the red-haired sparrow lying flat, he was just a little curious, how do birds breed? I heard that Dijiang was born chaotic, neither male nor female, so does it have that part?
Recently, I was translating ghost cultivation notes, and I happened to read a martial arts novel in my spare time, which has a sentence 'If you want to practice this skill, you must first go from the palace', I don't know what the situation of Dijiang is.
Di Jiang felt Mu Feng's concern, but at the same time, he also felt the deep malice from Ying Feng, and its sparrow face turned red (it couldn't be seen at all), as if it was being insulted, it broke free from Mu Feng's hand, and immediately covered its stomach. "What are you doing! Can't you just look at the bird's belly?! β
Mu Feng showed a helpless look, could he be frantically thinking about a sparrow, Di Jiang really didn't come to be funny?
The eyes of the disobedient are relatively red. Bare. Naked, it is clear that a bald belly is ugly.
Di Jiang looked at Ying Wei and jumped on Mu Feng's shoulder all of a sudden, how can this black be even darker, if it goes on like this, one day I am afraid that I will not even be able to see his appearance clearly. "It's dark, don't have any bad ideas, I'll sue you, I'm not afraid of you at all!"
"Alright, don't make a fuss." Mu Feng didn't let Di Jiang go off topic, "Don't avoid the question, what happened in Kunlun?" β
"Don't worry, who am I, how can I be hurt casually. This is the wood for Xiao Huang's nest, that place is hotter, Flaming Mountain has heard of it, there are some scorched hairs there, and it will grow again. β
Di Jiang understated this stubble, since he raised dragon eggs, he had to raise them with his heart, isn't it just to get some dragon perching trees, going to the crater is just a trivial matter, and it is not a big deal if he can't burn to death. This is the feeling of being a parent, and you will understand it only when you have to do it.
Mu Feng was silent for a moment after hearing this, "You went home to see the dragon egg, it still misses you." When you weren't there, there was a little year beast here, but fortunately, it played with the dragon egg for a while, and the dragon egg was not so lonely. It's good that you're back, and it can be a lot happier. β
Of course, Di Jiang knew that the dragon egg wanted it, and he had already told the dragon egg at home about the excitement of the reunion, although the excitement was not very obvious, but the egg still had a conscience. A parent's affection for a child is always different from a child's affection for a parent.
"I've gone back to see Xiao Huang, it's healthier than when I left, I think the aura of the capital has changed a little, and the yin qi is stronger than before, which is also a good thing, it can quickly come out of the shell if it absorbs more."
Dijiang is actually very tired, although it doesn't need much sleep, but after a few months of tossing, it still has to have a good rest. "I'll go sleep first, and we'll talk about the rest when I wake up."
Dijiang had a nest in the bereaved man's house, and after he finished speaking, he flew in and almost fell asleep when he lay on his side. This shows that Dijiang is actually not an ordinary sparrow, how can ordinary birds lie down and sleep.
Ying Wei looked at Mu Feng's face a little wrong, he couldn't still be worried about this sparrow, right? "Dijiang is back, he just looks tired, nothing serious."
Mu Feng said that he knew, in fact, there was no big deal, but he was a little disappointed at this moment. Dijiang went to see the dragon egg for the first time after he came back, and this time he was injured for the dragon egg's nest, and it seems that he really raised the dragon egg as a son. There is nothing wrong with this, but Mu Feng understands that the most important person in Dijiang is not himself. However, it was clear that they met first.
Ying Feng was already keen, and during this time, he was even more unconsciously concerned about Mu Feng's state, and when he saw Mu Feng's slightly changed expression, he knew what he was probably thinking.
"It's good that Dijiang is back, isn't that idiot causing us less trouble? If you like to raise obedient ones in the future, it's good. β
Mu Feng smiled at Ying Wei, he immediately thought about it, there is always the most important and the second most important. He imagined for a moment, if he came back in a hurry, I am afraid that he would be the first to inform Yingwei and then tell SΓΉ Dijiang. So deep feelings sometimes have nothing to do with first-come, first-served.
"Didn't you just say that there is a hair spirit, take me to see it." Mu Feng adjusted his mentality, and also thought about playing tricks on Di Jiang, "I don't want to be told that the sparrow raised is a natural bald." β
