Chapter 010: The night is dark and the wind is high
It was between nine and eleven o'clock in the evening, and it was probably past ten o'clock when they set out. In Pear Blossom Town, the only person who hasn't slept at this point in time may be a husband.
Nie and his two children floated like the wind through the town's avenue towards the city gate. All three of them wore night clothes, and they were all dressed in black to blend into the night.
No one wandered the streets, and they passed by the yawning groomer, and brought a gust of wind to pick up the groom's clothes.
"Oh, that's a gust of wind."
Only then did the husband open his eyes, which had been closed by yawning. It's a pity that he didn't see anything at this moment, muttered two words that no one could understand, and continued to beat him.
"Don't be dry, watch out for the candles...... Bang! Bang! ”
The city gate of Ewha Town is very broken, and there are only two veterans guarding it, and they don't close the city gate on weekdays. Now it is a peaceful year, and only two broken doors are closed at night, and this door is very broken, even if the two doors are closed, there is a half-person-high hole in the middle.
Three figures slipped through the hole, but fortunately they were all petite, and even the old gatekeeper who was napping in the small rest room with a spear did not notice.
After leaving the city, their bodies were slightly different. It's no longer so cautious, and you can let go of the speed.
Nie Shi was in the center and said softly: "Xi'er is slow, the training will be strengthened next month!" ”
"Yes, stepmother." Nie Tianxi, who was on her right, hit a spirit, and he was busy adjusting his state.
Nie Shuyao asked, "Stepmother, is it almost there?" ”
"At the ancestral tomb of the Li family, there is still a quarter of an hour, speed up!"
"The ancestral tomb of the Li family!?" The two siblings exclaimed at the same time.
Could it be the ancestral tomb of the landlord's family surnamed Li in the town? Did someone from their family just be buried? This is not a grave on a mass grave. To dig up someone's ancestral grave, no matter how you say it, is a very immoral thing!
Nie Shi replied as if he hadn't heard it, keeping his speed unchanged: "That's it." I heard that the old lady still has a certain status in the Li family, and she can only enter the ancestral grave after her death. But...... I also heard that the old lady was still in good health two days ago, but today she has been buried, which is really confusing. ”
The two siblings glanced at each other and felt something: I see, my stepmother wants us to find out the cause of this old lady's death.
Nie Shuyao is not disgusted by this, as a qualified detective, he must have at least some forensic knowledge to be able to preliminarily investigate the cause of death of the deceased.
As for Nie Tianxi, it's different, he will definitely be an official in the future, in case someone knows that when he was young, he actually dug up a grave and dug up a corpse, then the sin will be great.
What's more, in his opinion, these autopsy work is done in a bad way, how can it be said that he, an official and master, does such work.
He thought so, but before he knew it, he said it.
The Nie clan and Shu Yao, who were on the tip of their ears, heard it, and the Nie clan raised his hand slightly, and an invisible whip hit Nie Tianxi's back.
"Ouch, it hurts!" Nie Tianxi subconsciously hid behind his sister.
Nie Shuyao didn't intercede for him this time, and he also wanted his stepmother to kill him. Since he entered the school, there have been all kinds of problems, these are the problems of the feudal scholars, even if the stepmother doesn't care, she will find a way to cure it.
Nie's footsteps stopped, and he said coldly through the face towel: "Just because you look down on the autopsy work so much, you still want to be an official?" I think it's better for you not to study, so as to save another corrupt official and harm the people! ”
As soon as he heard Nie said that he would be a corrupt official, Nie Tianxi quit, took a step forward by his neck and said, "I will definitely be a good official when I grow up!" ”
"Humph!" Nie sneered, "Good officer? Would a good officer look down on the work of an autopsy? ”
Nie Tianxi said in a humble heart: "But, that, that is a pariah ......." ”
"Smack!" Another whip fell.
"Sister, help!" Nie Tianxi jumped up and down and hid behind Nie Shuyao again.
At this time, it has reached the small forest outside the city, and after going out of this forest, it is the ancestral tomb of the Li family and then over a mountain.
"Quack!" In the distance, the cries of night owls can be heard, and the sound of flapping wings can be heard. The night was already deep, and the cold wind blowing up also made people's hearts chill.
After this calm, Nie Tianxi felt cold all over his body, and he didn't know whether it was cold in his body or in his heart.
Nie silently played with her little leather whip, which, according to her, was made of special cowhide, strong and flexible, and struck people with pain. If you dip it in some water and make it a little harder, the skin and flesh are not for fun.
Nie Shuyao pulled Nie Tianxi and rolled up his sleeve in half, the place where the whip tail was swept was already red, and blood marks could be faintly seen.
She took out the medicinal wine and wiped his wound, and whispered, "Xi'er, my stepmother is right. Those who are officials do not seek to be proficient in everything, but they must also be able to carry everything clearly. For example, if a murder case is placed in front of you, and the murder is bought by the murderer, and what is said is inconsistent with the facts, what should you do? If all the clues are denied, will you judge the unjust case? ”
"I ......."
Nie Shuyao finished rubbing his arm for him, took off his shirt again, looked at her distressed with two red whip marks on his back, poured the medicinal wine into his palm, and rubbed it for him neatly, dissolving the bruising of this piece. In this way, in a few days, with the child's new metabolic ability, it will soon be fully healed.
Although Nie Tianxi also felt pain, he didn't scream, gritted his teeth and held back. It's just that for a while, I still can't accept that I am always being taken out by my stepmother to dig a grave, and squeaked: "But the parents who suffer from the skin of the body must not be injured, let alone after death." Why don't you let people live in peace? ”
Nie Shuyao sighed and shook her head uncontrollably: "Xi'er, I think my stepmother is right, don't go to the school in the future." ”
"Sister! Why? Xi'er likes to read, Xi'er still has to be an official, so that her sister and stepmother can live a good life in the future. Nie Tianxi pleaded, and her big pretty eyes immediately filled with tears.
"Alright, let's get dressed. Don't catch a cold! ”
After packing the medicine and wine, Nie Shuyao picked up the backpack that he had modified, there were a lot of bags in this bag, all of which were rare medicines and tools for going out.
Although Nie Tianxi didn't understand what he was wrong, he also knew that his stepmother and sister were angry, so he knew that he must be wrong. hurriedly apologized to them: "Mother-in-law, sister, it's Xi'er's mistake." Don't let Xi'er study! ”
Nie Shi stopped coughing at this time, walked vigorously, glanced at them, and said softly: "Rest in place for a quarter of an hour, and then leave after the qi of the medicine and wine dissipates." ”
"Yes!" The three of them sat on the floor.
Nie Shuyao said: "Parents who suffer from the skin of the body, don't hurt it, that's right." That's for us not to hurt our own bodies, because it's not yours, it's your parents and your wife and children. That means being good to yourself and not harming yourself. But what about a person who died unjustly, his body is the first clue, which is the silent accusation of the deceased, and it is also a powerful evidence to find the real murderer. Do you want the unjustly killed to see their relatives underground? ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Nie Tianxi realized. Even the Nie family looked at her twice, this righteous girl is getting older, the more surprises she will give her, maybe she can really do it.
