(977), dilemma
- Among the people and people who know the nature of the Xiao family's medicine house, the rumors about this medicine house and the evaluation of Xiao Chung himself are actually close to mixed reviews of the medicine ghost.
The word "ghost" is preceded by the title of pharmacist Liao Shi by the secular folk, because of the rumors that although there are few people who have been treated by Liao Shi, it is rare for those few people to die well. It is also said that the purpose of Liao Shi's treatment for people is to test the medicine on the living, and the diseases he handles have generally turned into unjust ghosts, as if Liao Shi himself is also entangled in a body of resentment from the dead that is difficult to dispel.
In comparison, Xiao Chung's reputation is better, but it is only slightly better than Liao Shi.
Xiao Chung is good at using two knives, one knife cuts the skin and scrapes the poison, and has saved some patients with severe external injuries, but this one is extremely risky, and there are not a few people who die because of this treatment, it is for slaughter. In addition, Xiao Song's second knife is a relatively pure slaughtering knife. It is rumored that he transferred from a butcher to a medical profession, using a butcher's knife to save people, which in today's medical world, is really only Xiao Chung who has done it, and he does not shy away from it.
For this reason, he also caused a lot of trouble for himself, after all, this medical practice to save people is still a sideline, and the experience accumulated by his predecessors is very lacking. Today's orthodox medical Tao is actually verified with the lives of countless people, but those are all historical accumulation, unlike what Xiao Chung did in front of him, no matter what the purpose and result are, once there is the slightest problem, the person responsible can only be him.
Because Xiao Song's practice of medicine is contrary to the usual way, the treatment scene is quite cruel, and the death rate is high. This practice of medicine always gives the bystander the feeling that he is not saving people but hastening the death of patients, and the medical community often does not agree that he is qualified to be a "doctor".
As for his reputation among the people, it is generally extremely light. Xiao Chung is not without self-knowledge, he knows that the practice of medicine he adheres to is still difficult to be accepted by the public, and often brings endless trouble to himself, after squatting in a few cells and changing a few places of residence, he also understood a problem that coincides with Liao Shi's views and made a similar choice.
Therefore, in recent years, Xiao Song's whereabouts are really as "traced Xiao Xiao" as his name.
And interestingly. Although he did not meet Liao Shi in person. Instead of talking about the morality of "weird" people like them, what he is doing today is very close to Liao Shi - either he doesn't save people, and once he makes a move, he will make a lot of money. Then it disappeared for a while.
In this regard. It is slightly different from Liao Shi's practice of picking large families to cut silver bags. Xiao Chung's patients are generally high-rollers. These people are not afraid of bloodshed and pain, but they spare a lot of money, but a lot of the rich money they have is also exchanged for their lives. So there is no shortage of outlaws among such people. Xiao Chung did not have Liao Shina and other poisoning methods, and his ability to protect himself was very limited, so he chose to change places and then prescribe a medicine store after making a fortune.
If you want to keep yourself safe, if you don't use force, you must not be lacking in intelligence. Xiao Chung mostly treats ranger warriors and rogue thieves, and over the years, he has not missed a lot of time during this period, but he can still live well, even if he is not a very smart person, he has definitely refined his own set of routines.
Just a few days ago, when the sloppy groom came to the medicine house with a man in white who had been poisoned, Xiao Chung only glanced at these two faces, and the first thing he thought about was not to treat people, but to secretly say that he would move again soon.
It's only been a year since he last moved, and in fact, he still likes the capital city of Koyo, New Kyoto. It is very prosperous here, it is rare to be a big coastal city, and there is a son of heaven in charge, and the legal system is thorough and strict, which is really suitable for people like him who do not worry about no money and spend, and have already made enemies in several counties in Siye choose to live. Therefore, when he first moved here, he was already thinking about whether to stop the knife and live a plain and peaceful life with peace of mind.
But this consideration is not absolutely constant.
For example, the price offered by the sloppy groom to save people was too rich and attractive, full of 1,000 taels of silver, enough for him to spend the rest of his life without doing anything. And if he doesn't use knives anymore from now on, with his ordinary appearance and low-key lifestyle, even if he makes a special exception this time, and doesn't move after the treatment of people, and simply moves directly to live in the inner city of Kyoto, no one should recognize him.
This idea had been swirling in Xiao Song's mind when he treated the man in white who was deeply poisoned, and after sending away the man in white who was out of danger yesterday and receiving the one thousand taels of snow-colored silver ingots cashed by the sloppy coachman who accompanied him, it was only a day or two to prepare for the pack to be taken away, and the idea of collecting the knife and settling down in Xiao Song's heart also fell into place.
However, while the two people who suddenly visited today made Xiao Song feel strange and apprehensive, after observing these two uninvited guests, especially the older man among them, Xiao Song's plan to collect the knife and settle down vaguely wavered again.
Is it really just a whim at the beginning of the moment and a means of making a living after changing the knife of slaughter to a knife that cuts the skin and heals diseases? Of course, these two reasons cannot be ruled out, but at the same time, they cannot be ignored, Xiao Songgan is willing to take such a big risk and trouble, and embark on such a "divergent" path of medicine, which must also be a copy of his love for this industry.
Xiao Chung has been practicing medicine for many years, and although his usual treatment methods are not recognized by the medical community, since it is a skill to treat diseases and save people, no matter how the way it is presented changes, some knowledge points are the cornerstone. Xiao Chung can use a knife to treat diseases, it doesn't mean that he will only do this, other four tips of medical Taoism, as well as medicinal herbs are necessary to learn, and now he has accumulated a lot of experience in these aspects, since then he has closed the knife and become a local village doctor, absolutely no problem.
But he didn't choose to do so.
In his opinion, either let him follow the knife, abandon all the medicine boxes and medical canons, and completely leave the path of practicing medicine, or he will carry the knife to the end, even if this insistence will make him have to hide all day long.
It's a persistent love.
Because of this kind of attachment, this kind of love is not easy to extinguish, and even if this kind of love is forcibly restrained, it is very easy to be affected by a little bit of foreign objects and explode again. Pick up what you've left behind.
Among the two people who suddenly came to visit today, although the person who came meant to diagnose the fair-skinned young man, in Xiao Song's opinion, he was more concerned about the other - the man with a very different skin color on the left and right sides.
Xiao Chung practiced medicine with a knife and treated diseases, no matter what the process was, the purpose must be to save people's lives, of course, he would not just cut or stitch, but also because he had studied this way wholeheartedly for many years and had several successful experiences. So he just glanced at the man's face. I became suspicious.
- Half of the face seems to have been sewn up!
Most of the people who usually have the opportunity to communicate with Wu Shu would not make such a guess about the appearance that his face was different. Everyone will naturally think in their hearts that they don't need to ask, that is, a birthmark that is too large. It's just that some unfortunate ones grow on the face. It's a pity that this sturdy and powerful man has always had to live a dodgy life.
Xiao Chung is probably one of the few people in this world who can take a look at it and think about the art of skin and flesh repair.
It's just because he loves this medical skill so much. I only took one look and kept my mind, and then looked at the second time, and sure enough, there were some slight new discoveries. Half of the young man's face was of a different color. There are really traces of seams, but maybe because of a little more time, those marks now seem to be more likely to be mistaken for slight skin wrinkles.
But Xiao Chung didn't think so, and after just a few careful glances, he could have reason to confirm his conjecture. Although he had only a few dozen cases of stitching and threading on human skin, he had already made more than a thousand attempts to mend them by borrowing pigskins, sheepskins, and many animal skins -- although his methods of medical treatment looked bloody and cruel, this did not mean that he did not know how to value human life.
In any case, he is also a healer with the highest purpose of curing the sick and saving people.
And the man with a strange face who suddenly came to visit today made Xiao Chung a little disheartened by the doctor who carried the knife to save people, and his mentality came back to life.
It turns out that his choice is not lonely, and there are other people in this world who choose to practice medicine with surgery, and the method seems to be more subtle.
This discovery made Xiao Chung quite excited, although he was bold enough, but he could move a knife in the head, which he had not yet thought of, and the colleague he had never met had done it a long time ago, and he could do it so exquisitely.
It seems that there are still great deficiencies in his "medical skills", as well as the upside of excellence!
So Xiao Chung changed the decision he had made a few days ago and picked up what he was going to leave behind yesterday.
He decided to go on this "wrong path" of practicing medicine for a while, even if he might unfortunately not be able to go far on this road due to some troubles, but at least he would hold on until he could meet the fellow "godman", and the knife in his hand was not yet unfamiliar with the outline, so that he could be qualified to communicate with the fellow "godman".
If you choose to continue practicing medicine, it means that your plan to move to Kyoto in a few days will change to move out of the suburbs of Kyoto and continue to live in hiding as usual.
In order to avoid trouble, in the past, Xiao Chung would have an intermediary to greet patients in advance, and ordinary people would not be able to find out where he was even if they had heard of his name. Of course, the two people who came today were not ordinary people, and the fact that these two people could find the location of the medicine house without being introduced by an intermediary was already very vigilant to Xiao Song, and soon he recognized the origin of the horse, which made him gradually realize one thing.
About half a month ago, there was a murder in the county hall of Xiahe County, less than 100 miles west of Kyoto, and the county keeper was assassinated, but he was the only one who died, and his family and subordinates were all unharmed. It is precisely because of the strange facts presented by this murder case that it is easy to associate it with the head sale.
Unlike the murder convention, where the murder is carried out in one piece, or even the whole house, in the process of buying and selling heads, the heads become goods, and each one is clearly priced, and the hired killer will not waste his efforts to kill people who have nothing to do with the needs of the employer. The murder case of Xiahe County not only conforms to the appearance of this head transaction, but also the process is very clean, and it can also be said that it is done by an absolutely professional-level killer.
It is not difficult to see that the life of the county keeper of Xiahe County was "bought" by someone for money, and there are still killers in the world who use killing as a means of making a living, and they act very well-behaved and use extremely clever methods. However, knowing that such an organization exists and that it is happening on the edge of the border of Kyoto, it has achieved obvious good results as the first person who decided to eradicate this illegal matter more than ten years ago. The orderly and harmonious Dijing was quite shocked.
The official must bring the murderer to justice, and it is likely to completely eliminate a nest of killer groups with this matter, but when the official puts this matter on the agenda, it has to admit that this matter is quite tricky, and even weird.
Now the investigators sent by the government have all concluded that the incident was committed by the killer, and they can also determine the identity of this person, who is a white-clothed guest who was very trusted and respected by the county guard of Xiahe County during his lifetime.
This white-clothed guest has been a guest in the county guard mansion for many years, and in addition to living with the county keeper as a close friend, he was also invited by the county keeper to be his two sons, Mr. Xixi, the bishop of music. But in the blink of an eye when the county keeper was assassinated. The white-clothed guest was nowhere to be found.
From the usual point of view. Keqing's departure at this time will undoubtedly bring endless suspicion to himself. But if you think about it from a different angle, this is really normal. As a killer, it was a wise choice for Keqing to leave as soon as the assassination mission was completed. As a professional killer. The idea of living a normal life should have been suppressed a long time ago. Keqing's identity is a disguise. After the business is done, of course, there is no need to leave any excuses to protect the innocence of your identity.
It is estimated that the face of this white-clothed guest has been recognized by many people, but it cannot be ruled out that this is one of his disguises. Even if there were indeed some of the people who could recognize him with great eyesight, if he did not appear in the world in the future, those who knew him would not have the opportunity to do the same thing.
Maybe in a few years, this killer will appear in a different identity in the middle of nowhere, but who else can be sure of him?
The record of the murder in Xiahe County is already very clear, but the official official in charge of investigating the matter feels a headache, the murderer seems to be in front of him, but it seems that through a transparent wall, the doors and windows that cannot be broken through can pass through and grab him.
And the basis for this murderer to escape the punishment of the law seems to be time.
If this case is not solved as soon as possible, when the killer returns to the place where he came, it is likely that he will really fall into the sea, and it will be even more difficult to lock him up.
The killer seemed to be confident that he could master this, so after killing the warlord, he cut off his head and left, not even disposing of the corpse and the knife that cut off the head. When someone found the scene of the murder, they saw a headless corpse still wearing an official uniform and a knife in a pool of blood on the ground in the back hall of the mansion, and the killer's actions were streamlined and casual but impeccable.
But when the matter gradually spread from Xiahe County to Kyoto, although the description of the white-clothed guest became vague by word of mouth, and when he arrived in Kyoto, there was only the description of the "white-clothed man", but Xiao Chung had vaguely guessed the origin of the killer as soon as he heard about it.
A few years ago, when he was treating an injury of a Jianghu man, he heard the Jianghu man talk about a secret killer organization. Now that the land of Nanzhao has been gradually governed by the new monarch of the Wang family, the bad problem of buying and selling heads left over from the previous dynasty has been cleared up with a great deal of time, and there are many killer organizations that have been exterminated by the official and disbanded on their own for self-preservation, but under such strict laws and regulations, the killer organizations that can still survive must be extremely powerful.
The Jianghu people occasionally talked about this matter during Xiao Song's medicine house recuperation, in order to relieve the boredom time, Xiao Song listened casually, even if he didn't care about these things, but he still paid attention to the few words of the Jianghu people, just because the killer organization mentioned in those few sentences was the strongest among the killers.
This killer organization is very mysterious and low-key, but it is difficult for anyone who knows about it to ignore this understanding, because this is an organization that dares to take orders to assassinate court officials in the world.
Since the change of dynasty, the new monarch is the brain of the country, and the most strictly forbidden thing is the murder of old and new officials. In the early years, most of the murder officials were found out by the emperor, which indirectly made the killing of officials the highest risk in the eyes of the killer organization. Naturally, the official has become the most expensive commodity, and there are always people who want to do a good job.
The killer organization that the Jianghu people said has existed for a long time, and most of the people who have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time can count it, and in recent years, several unresolved officials who have made the emperor extremely angry have been killed, and the killers in that organization have done it, but like the official who is now worried about the murder in Xiahe County, even the Jianghu people who know about the killer organization do not know where the location of this organization is.
However, Xiao Chung was a few days ago. I met the killer in the killer organization, and saved the killer's life in exchange for a huge reward.
Although Xiao Song's way of practicing medicine is not recognized by the medical community, he himself is a little picky, in order to avoid trouble, he will not lightly treat others, but as long as he can find his patients through an intermediary, he will not turn his eyes to death and die. In any case, he has obligations and bottom lines as a healer.
So a few days ago, when the man in white, who was deeply poisoned, was brought to the medicine house by a coachman who was extremely sloppily dressed. Xiao Chung immediately launched treatment for him. And it is to rescue without reservation, just to save a life. At that time, Xiao Chung had actually begun to doubt the identity of the man in white as the one who committed the crime in the Xiahe County Guard's Mansion.
Even if the two arrived at the medicine house without a sharp weapon. And the one who needs to be healed is poisoned by the serpent. It's not a sword-like trauma. But perhaps because he often dealt with people from the rivers and lakes with complicated ways to earn a good reward for healing his injuries, he naturally trained Xiao Song's observation and vigilance, and he saw the man in white for the first time. It's as if I have the sensitive intuition of a woman, so I think so.
As soon as this thought is opened, the pathways in the brain suddenly become extremely smooth.
Thinking back to what happened in the medicine house a few days ago, ignoring the sloppy coachman and only observing the man in white, Xiao Song remembered that although the man's physique was abnormally weak due to poisoning, even if he later saved his life after his own treatment, he often fell into a coma intermittently, but it seemed that it affected part of his own control over himself, so that he naturally revealed a certain temperament of "Keqing".
Xiao Chung remembered the saying that came from Xiahe County, that "Keqing" had been friends with the county guard for several years, although now everyone is watching this matter, most people can be sure that it is just a killer's disguise, in order to gain the trust of the county guard, paralyze the vigilance of the county guard's guards, and get the best time to cut off the head of the county guard and take away the reward, and can quietly retreat, but this disguise has lasted for a few years, and it will more or less reverse affect part of the person's style of acting!
In addition, the man in white also showed a very careful sense of precaution in the process of receiving treatment. After living in the medicine house for a few days, he rarely said anything when he was sober, and he never mentioned half a word about his identity, and almost used the medicine house and the owner of the medicine house, Xiao Song, as a tool and a dead thing, and did not communicate. But the look in this person's eyes was unusually clear, and he glanced at the body with a staring eye on the tip of a needle, which was a hunting look.
Xiao Chung still remembered the man's gaze when he woke up for the first time from a coma, as if he had never been unconscious, the first moment he opened his eyelids, the pupils shot a faintly sharp light, and the focus of his gaze was also different from ordinary people, all the eyebrows, nose bridge, neck and other most lethal parts of the human head.
If it is said that in the past few days that this person has lived in Yaolu, most of the time the temperament revealed is still a kind of indifferent peace and respect, which is relatively close to the good image of a high-ranking guest, then the moment he just woke up, he obviously revealed the true colors of a professional killer.
Overlapping the two is indirectly equivalent to identifying this person's identity, but Xiao Chung has no intention of going to the government to report the case, first, he is not completely sure about the matter, and second, doing more harm than good to him.
There are various laws and laws in human society, and of course there are heroes and heroes who are selfless and fearless and ignore these binding forces, but Xiao Chung is obviously not this kind of person.
So even though he was very sure that the man in white was the killer who committed the crime in Xiahe County, and that he was an extremely dangerous person, he still only regarded him as an injured person who needed to be treated, did his best to treat it, and then received a payment, and that's it.
And today, two people and a horse suddenly came to the door of the medicine house, and these two uninvited guests were able to find this place without the introduction of the middleman, which really made Xiao Chung feel a kind of unkind vigilance, and because of the dark horse they brought, Xiao Chung thought about another question while re-identifying the man in white.
Perhaps for the purpose of expressing public condemnation, it spread along with the news of the assassination of the county keeper, and there was also some lace news of the county guard's mansion. Some of the deeds of how the county guard appreciated and valued the white-clothed guest secretary before his death spread, and the most ironic and the most repeated words of ordinary people was the fact that the county guard gave the white-clothed guest a black horse.
This black horse belongs to the ranks of famous horses in the south, and its posture and foot strength are actually inferior to those of the northwestern horses. But it is the favorite of the literati, because this kind of horse will recognize people, and once it is determined that the owner is very loyal. Lord County Keeper spent a lot of money to buy this horse and give it to the white-clothed guest in the house, which can be described as a profound meaning, but Lord County Keeper would never have imagined that the person he trusted so much would cut off his head and ride this horse in a few years.
People recognize people, most of them recognize faces or voices, but this kind of recognition is definitely not as good as that of animals that are very sensitive to smells, so the killer who killed the county keeper should not hesitate to kill this black horse, otherwise this horse is likely to become the strongest threat to reveal his whereabouts. It is precisely because of this consideration. Xiao Chung was in a very strange mood at the moment he recognized this dark horse.
The horse is still alive. And it was brought by two other people.
But it must disappear after all, so it's better to slaughter it yourself!
Xiao Chung was very skeptical, the two people who came with the horse could find this place without the contact of the middleman in the guò medicine house, it was very likely that they were the official comers. He'd heard about it. The current emperor has several special groups under his command. The beginning of the unification was timed. The emperor used these groups of people as blades in the shadows to find out and kill several bad ministers who wanted to rebel. Later, in order to forcefully curb the mutual assassination of officials, these groups also played a powerful role.
In a word. Although the groups of people under the emperor's hands are rumored to be extremely low-key, they are definitely good at visiting people and investigating cases, and they are a sharp sword that the emperor hides in his sleeve and never shows his handle.
Although these people have not been openly established in the administration of officials until now, it cannot be ruled out that they can temporarily participate in the investigation of cases in accordance with the emperor's dictation.
If this kind of person is eyeing the case of the murder of the county keeper of Xiahe County, as long as there is a trace of clues, it is very likely that he will do something to see the moon. And if Xiao Chung at this moment still holds on to yesterday's plan and is ready to abandon the knife and settle in Kyoto, he can completely avoid getting involved in this matter when he quickly thinks through something after seeing the dark horse.
But who told him to suddenly change his mind at this point?
If he wants to continue to be a charlatan in the future, he must dissociate himself from this matter. If he is entangled in this matter, even if he can finally get rid of the investigation of the government, it is likely that no one will be willing to be an intermediary for him in the future, and this matter will ruin his reputation.
So now he had to do something, not to help anyone, not to keep himself neutral, but to isolate himself from the matter completely.
This thing seems to be very simple, Xiao Chung has not done it before, but considering that the two parties he has to face today are not easy to mess with, one is the most powerful killer organization in the rivers and lakes, and the other is the killer weapon that the current emperor has collected in his sleeve, his hand to sharpen the knife can't help but start to tremble a little, I don't know if he is afraid, or because this knife has not been used for a long time, it is a little difficult to sharpen.
The sound of sharpening the knife lasted for a long time, and the more than one-foot-long bone cutting knife had completely sharpened off the rust on the knife body, and it was as smooth as a mirror, revealing the true color of high-quality iron. Xiao Chung glanced at the blade of the knife and felt satisfied, so he changed a whetstone and began to focus on sharpening the blade.
Generally speaking, a butcher should carry a complete set of knives when performing slaughter, and he should have different bloodletting, shaving, cutting and cutting bones. Xiao Chung was a good butcher before practicing medicine, of course he understands these common senses, but it is precisely because he is proficient in this way that he will not be satisfied with the status quo, think of pioneering and innovating, and have his current skills. Now he can slaughter an animal with a knife, and he can slaughter and cook a horse into a pile of meat pieces that he can't tell what kind of animal it is, but the set of knives that cut and treat the skin of a living person is extremely complete and delicate.
The set of knives used to heal the wounds was varied and exquisitely crafted, and as a healer, he was responsible for the patients he treated, and he could not desecrate the work, and the points of treatment that had been tried and determined could not be changed lightly because of his own preferences. And the slaughtering knife has now been reduced to a single one, which is not only because he doesn't like trouble, but also because he is confident in his slaughtering skills.
It's just that the workload of this matter today is a bit heavy, and he must be prepared to attack with a fine weapon, so as not to make a mistake with the curling blade.
Because he had been sharpening his knife for too long, the two daughters, who were used to taking a nap in the afternoon, were finally so noisy that they couldn't sleep, and walked out of the bedroom together, following the sound of rough sand grinding on the ear drums to Xiao Song's side.
The two little girls, one tall and one short, who did not look much like each other in terms of their faces, stared at their father in unison, the younger daughter looked at her father with a blank look, and the older daughter looked at the black horse in the yard that was not tied to the reins but stood obediently.
Xiao Chung nominally has two daughters, but in fact the eldest daughter is not his own. When the wife was giving birth to her little daughter. Xiao Chung is still serving his sentence in the county prison because he treated a wounded person's life.
It was also from that time that Xiao Chung's heart hardened in a cold place. Rarely go out of the knife, but out of an absolute custody to earn a year's remuneration. Except for the fact that he can exude some life-saving temperament as a doctor when he is in the treatment matters, the rest of the time he only has the image of being greedy and greedy.
The eldest daughter is the child that Xiao Chung picked up when he was picking medicine in the mountains in the second year of becoming a "rich slave", hiding in Nanshan and waiting for a new business to come to the door. The eldest daughter was a homeless child whose parents died early, and was bitten by a snake while walking on a mountain road, but fortunately she met Xiao Chung that day. And after being saved, she begged to stay, willing to be a slave to Xiao Song. I just want to have two meals during the day. At night, there is a sheltered room to sleep.
Xiao Chung didn't want to take her in, but in the process of allowing her to stay for a few days to recuperate, he found that although this girl was still just a child, she could take good care of his little daughter, who was only two years old at the time. Then I was moved by the thought. Acceded to her request.
I must admit that his eldest daughter, who picked it up, is very good at observing words and feelings. She has a very flexible brain, which may have something to do with her upbringing of losing her home at a young age and living a wandering life. has lost a qiē to rely on, and if you want to survive, you have to fight for everything by yourself. You also need to be extra careful about the dangers around you. Three years ago, her eldest daughter, who was only six years old, was already so sharp-minded, and three years later, she was able to think about adult things at the age of nine.
Fortunately, this girl adheres to Xiao Chung's very pure loyalty and respect, otherwise her little adult's state of mind is really a few terrible factors.
Two years ago, in order to avoid trouble, Xiao Chung simply accepted the girl he picked up as his adopted daughter, as long as the adopted daughter didn't cause trouble for him, it wasn't that he couldn't get the spare money to raise an extra child.
Otherwise, the butcher knife wouldn't have been covered with such a thick layer of rust.
But compared with being surprised to see her father-in-law suddenly pick up a butcher's knife, the eldest daughter was more surprised that her father-in-law Xiao Song seemed to be slaughtering a horse this time.
Xiao Chung has slaughtered chickens, sheep, pigs and cows, but it is the first time to slaughter a horse. Horses are raised to give people to travel, Xiao Chung himself does not have a horse, even if the strangers who come to the medicine house have a horse, they will definitely ride away when they leave, but like today, the horse is left in the medicine house to be slaughtered, but the owner of the horse is nowhere to be found, which is also the first time the eldest daughter has seen it.
"Daddy......" The nine-year-old eldest daughter glanced at the machete in Xiao Song's hand, which was as smooth as a mirror, and her eyes showed a hint of hesitation, "What are you going to do?" ”
The word "sharpening the knife" was missing from the words she asked, and the meaning had actually become very different, but the two words that were missing, I am afraid that only her father-in-law Xiao Song could hear it.
The work in hand slowed down a little, Xiao Chung glanced at his biological daughter who was next to his eldest daughter, and then his eyes were slightly off, and he only said: "Big girl, take my sister to the side to play, you two just wait for meat for a while." ”
The eldest daughter was about to speak, when a young voice suddenly came from beside her: "Daddy, the beef is not delicious, it is smelly!" ”
Naturally, it was Xiao Song's youngest daughter who would turn five years old this year.
has been running around with her father for a long time, living a life that is roughly equivalent to hiding, and the youngest daughter's cognitive aspect is so lacking that she still stays at about a three-year-old child, with no distinction between cattle and horses, and the smell is difficult to distinguish.
In the youngest daughter's opinion, although the sturdy animal in the yard looks a little different from a cow, as if something is missing, but the rope that ties it is also tied to its mouth, in fact, it is a cow, right? What other animal can grow so big?
As for the taste of beef, the youngest daughter pouted when she thought about it. Xiao Song's medical skills are not bad, but his cooking skills are not fine, at least he is definitely not good at taking care of children's tastes.
About a year ago, Xiao Chung treated the injuries of the first-class Kou Chief, and after the Kou Leader recovered from his injury, he couldn't pay the silver for his injuries, so he paid Xiao Chung the few cattle he had robbed. This move caused the family of three to eat beef offal for nearly half a year, and even Xiao Song, who was full of oil and relish at the beginning, was about to vomit in the end, not to mention how his two children would be uncomfortable.
And in his little daughter's cognitive concept, the kind of old beef that is several times lean and fishy than the pig is "stinky"! And she would immediately make a comment in a childish tone after seeing the horse in the yard, which to Xiao Song's ears, was obviously more disgusting than the feeling of taste.
"Xiaoxiao, Daddy didn't say he was going to kill a cow." Xiao Chung was in a hurry, too lazy to explain to his daughter the difference between cows and horses, as well as the difference between smell and smell, his eyes rolled half a circle, and he took advantage of the situation to lie again, "Daddy slaughters chickens and makes fried chicken thighs for Xiaoxiao to eat, okay?" ”――
(To be continued......)
