1. The Beginning of the Matter - Kyoto Prefecture (II)

"Did the man find it?" The first thing he said when he saw Lu Qing was to ask about the whereabouts of that person, which really made Lu Qing a little overwhelmed. Because he was at a loss, Lu Qing answered a little late, so Chu Ci naturally thought that because he was in a hurry, the other party didn't hear clearly, and then he told Lu Qing again the question he said when he just entered the door.

Lu Qing only remembered the purpose of his coming here at this time, so he whispered to Chu Ci: "There is no one who the Dadu Division is looking for. ”

Lu Qing recalled the anxiety and nervousness in Chu Ci's eyes when he spoke just now, and he began to wonder who the person Chu Ci was looking for could make the leaders of the younger generation pay so much attention.

"······ not found" Chu Ci whispered what Lu Qing had said just now, as if the light suddenly flickered in his gray eyes.

"If you don't find it, you still have a chance."

Lu Qing saw that Chu Ci's expression changed and changed, and naturally he was more curious about that person. So driven by curiosity, Lu Qing still asked the question that had bothered him for a long time.

"Who is the person Dadu is looking for?"

"A friend." Chu Ci's expression was calm, but there were many expressions in his eyes that he didn't have just now, it was an expectation, as if he was looking forward to seeing the figure of a person traveling far away.

On this day in the thirty-fifth year of the calendar, it seems a little unusual to very many people, Xu San came back from the 47th lane of East Street in the early morning, and after filling his own water tank, he saw a woman coming out of the house, and Xu San remembered the story he had just thought about there after seeing the woman.

"Xiu'er, you don't know what I saw when I went to fetch water today."

Xu San put the empty bucket in his hand under the edge of the tank, and was about to tell Xiu'er what he had just seen and heard, he had already foreseen Xiu'er's shocked expression and disbelief after hearing that she was finished.

"The master, you come into the house first." Without waiting for Xu San to continue speaking, Xiu'er spoke first.

Xu San listened to the first three words of Xiu'er's words, and felt a little bad in his heart, those three words came out of Xiu'er's mouth, there were only two possibilities, either he did something wrong, or he encountered something that Xiu'er couldn't make a decision on.

I am very honest these days, and I didn't take the money to go to Yingoufang to gamble money, so it wasn't my own reason, so there was only one and only one possibility left, something happened.

The consternation and disbelief that Xu San was expecting finally appeared, but these two expressions appeared on Xu San's own face.

"This, this, this ······" Xu San was already shocked by the scene in front of him.

Xiu'er made a silent gesture to Xu San at this time, and then said to him: "I found it in the firewood pile in our backyard, I originally wanted to go to hold firewood to cook on the fire, but I saw this person, he still had a breath at that time, and I can't die without help." Xiu'er didn't continue to talk about this, but looked at the man lying on the bed covered in blood.

"And then you brought him back?" Xu San was a little messy now, and the blood-stained person in front of him always felt a little familiar, but in his current state, he couldn't remember where he had seen this person.

"People are not dead yet, so you can't see death without help, but it is not convenient for me as a woman to treat too deep wounds for him, so I simply treated the surface wounds and then bandaged them simply."

Xu San finally understood the meaning of his woman's words, he was a woman and couldn't deal with wounds, so he was the only man who came.

"I said Xiu'er." Xu San was suddenly silent, he thought of the mansion he saw when he went to fetch water just now, thought of what happened in that mansion, and then looked at Qi Lianyu who was lying on the bed, and then Xu San's still not smart brain thought of a possibility.

"It can't be that coincidental." Xu San muttered there.

Xiu'er saw that Xu San's face suddenly became a little strange, thinking that she had asked him to treat this person's wounds, which made Xu San unhappy.

"What's wrong with you, didn't you just ask you to help treat his wounds, why did you become a mother-in-law today. If you don't like it, get out of the way, and I'll take care of it. ”

As she spoke, Xiu'er was about to push Xu San in front of her, this action was obviously really planning to treat Qi Lianyu's wounds by herself.

Xu San naturally knew the character of his mother-in-law, and knew that if she said so, he would do the same, so he hurriedly grabbed her.

"I didn't say I wouldn't do it, but before I got it, I'll tell you something." So Xu San told Xiu'er what he saw at the entrance of Lane 47 of East Street and his guesses.

After listening to what Xu San said, Xiu'er was stunned for a while, and then said slowly: "You mean······ Is this man from that house? ”

"It should be." Xu San nodded in response.

"This is ······ dressed" Xiu'er looked at Qi Lianyu, who was still in a coma, "It should be the son of the mansion, is that the one you said may be the illegitimate son of a nobleman's mansion on West Street?" ”

Xu San also looked at Qi Lianyu in the same way as Xiu'er, and didn't seem to see anything, and then said: "I have seen that son, and when I went to the water shop to fetch water before, I saw it a few times occasionally. ”

"Is that him?" Xiu'er didn't wait for Xu San to finish speaking, so she hurriedly asked.

Xu San took a closer look, then shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, his face is injured and he can't recognize it." ”

"That ······" Xiu'er was worried, frowned, and asked, "Master, what are you going to do?" ”

Xu San thought for a while, and then said to Xiu'er: "He is like this now, obviously he was approached by the big house of the nobles on West Street. ”

"But why?"

"What, why?"

"Why did the big house of the nobleman on West Street kill him?"

So Xu San's brain moved again, and he seemed to give a very reasonable explanation for Xiu'er's question.

"For the sake of property," Xu San looked at Xiu'er with unquestionable eyes, "Those nobles on West Street must have a lot of money, but if they die, who will give this money to?" Of course, it's for your own offspring, and if you think that so much money is suddenly shared by one more person, who will be happy, so this is logical. ”

Xiu'er thought about it and seemed to feel that Xu San's words were not wrong, so she believed his reason.

"That'······ What now? Xiu'er brought up the previous question again.

Xu San struggled with this thorny problem.

"Why don't we see him?"

"You say, leave him here?"

"Staying at home will always cause trouble, and if that nobleman finds out that he is not dead, we will be in trouble."

Xiu'er knew that Xu San was telling the truth, and she also knew the disadvantages of leaving this person at home, but when Xiu'er thought of leaving this person alone, or throwing him on the street while it was dark, she naturally wouldn't cause trouble, but there would always be a hurdle in her heart that she couldn't get over.

Xu San saw Xiu'er hesitate, so he guessed her thoughts, and then said to her: "We are ordinary people who sell tofu on East Street, we are not heroes in the drama, we don't need to be merciful, we just need to live peacefully." ”

Xiu'er's brows furrowed even tighter, her heart was struggling, she was choosing, she knew that her choice might affect a person's life.

Xu San was still talking there, but it just passed into Xiu'er's ears, but it was like a book from heaven.

"Boss."

It was another "master", Xu San secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, or that he had already gotten the answer from her words.

"Since the people are back, I don't think I can ignore it, what you said in charge is right, we are just ordinary people, but this is a life after all, you let me ignore it, I can't do it."
