The summer heat is sad, the cicadas are singing endlessly, and the whole Yecheng seems to have been put in a blacksmith's furnace.

"I don't know what's going on this day? I've never seen it so hot in previous years, and the heat kills me......"

The pedestrians who came and went on the street changed into cool thin clothes early in the morning, but the clothes were too thin, and sometimes they would be soaked with sweat under the scorching sun before they could go out of the door for three or four hours.

Because of this ghost weather, most of the people are too lazy to go out, and the North Street Market, which used to be very lively, has now become rare, not to mention that the soldiers on duty at the North Gate are hanging shoulders and slanting their feet, half-asleep and half-asleep hiding in the shady corners, and even the few shops that have to open their doors to do business in order to make a living, the owners and men on the counters are also wilted, like dried wilted grass leaves.

However, there are exceptions, and now, the business of the tea stall is much better than in the past. There are only a handful of people coming and going, but because of their dry mouths when they come over, they will inevitably sit on this tea stall. Call a few bowls of herbal tea, pour it down, press your own heat, and then let Xiao Er take a bowl of cold tao from the well water. After eating noodles and noodles, my whole body was much cooler, and my body became more and more reluctant to move.

Not only was he too lazy to move, but he saw that there was nothing important, so he continued to ask for a few bowls of herbal tea, sat down in his position with peace of mind, and just stayed in the shade and began to talk with the people around him.

However, today's tea stalls seem to be more lively than ever. Because, there are so many guests, in the crowd, it looks particularly eye-catching. The reason for the piercing eyes was not only because they were wearing long clothes, but also because of the woman among them who would not stop talking.

When Nuwa Niangniang was a human being, she used a drop of wicker on the lips of some clay figurines to dot a drop of dew, so these clay figurines were particularly articulate, as if they had a longer tongue than others. However, now it seems that this woman was not just dropped with an extra drop of dew, but was directly splashed on a basin, otherwise how could she be "gossipy" and mouth-soothing now?

"Oh, what's going on in this city? It's hot to death old lady! ”

"What are you robbing one by one?! Starving ghosts! I don't know why my mother gave birth to these rice buckets of you! ”

"You can't hold your chopsticks!! Pay it back, pay it back! Pick them all up for me and eat them!! ”

The dominatrix-like, chattering woman's hand struck a boy of six or seven years old with some force, and then, in dismay, wringing the flesh from the boy's waist again, and through a coarse cloth garment, the woman's two fingers firmly grasped the flesh on the boy's waist as if they were usually holding dice, and swirled them almost once. The boy didn't dare to scream, so he obediently picked up all the rice grains on the table with his index finger, licked his tongue, and put all the rice grains on the side of the bowl into his mouth.

"Don't fight, it's broken, do you still want to live that good life?!" The man on the table, who was gulping herbal tea, opened his mouth roughly, and then knocked the woman's hand off with chopsticks.

Unexpectedly, the woman was unrelenting and directly grabbed the man's ears with the two fingers of Fang Cai, and the "miraculous skill" reappeared, and the man was full of begging for mercy.

"You give the old lady a little more care, you open your mouth to leak, this is Yecheng, if it weren't for me, would you rely on you to feed these debt collectors?! When you get to the place, let the old lady stay in the house honestly! ”

The man who was twisted by the woman's ears and lowered his head fiercely secretly spat under the table, cursed a few words in a low voice, and then looked up, with a smile on his face, and even the peony-like texture seemed to be visible from the fresh stubble on his chin.

"Yes, yes, thanks to ...... Madam, however, this good life is also thanks to the fact that our family has Wei'er, without him, where can you and I find such a suitable child......"

While listening to her husband's praise, the woman put a chopstick dish in the bowl of the boy who had just been beaten by her, and then put the chopsticks in her mouth and smacked it, smashing her mouth, and raised her eyebrows and wrinkled them tightly, as if she could kill all the flies flying around their family. "What kind of dish is this? This vegetable leaf is so old that it can't even be bitten, and it is far from the fairy banquet that comes from the cyclamen! Because of the weather, the woman had a poor appetite, and with chopsticks in her hand, she turned the cold tao in the bowl upside down, and fanned the surroundings with her hand.

"Haha, if you have money, go to cyclamen! Why do you want to sit here now, smelling our stinking sweat? There was a woodcutter who was collecting firewood next door, and after pouring a large bowl of herbal tea into the "Gu Dong Gu Dong", seeing the woman's disgusted appearance, he was straightforward for a while, and he was already tired of the noise in the woman's ears, and the woodcutter slapped the axe he used to chop wood on the case after saying this. Caught off guard, there was a loud "bang", which frightened the boy who was picking up rice with a big mouth, and one was unsteady and fell off the bench, and a pair of upper incisors like rat teeth in his mouth were born in his mouth, and they just hit the ground impartially. When the boy began to cry, his father, who didn't know what he was planning, turned his head to look at him sitting on the ground.

I saw that the boy's mouth was full of blood, and even the placket of his clothes had a large patch of pale red traces there, and on the ground, a few drops of bright red were a little white, nothing else, it was a pair of front teeth that he had just knocked out.

"Oops, call you disobedient, call you disobedient, sit tight for a long time, will it be okay?!" The woman was anxious and angry, but as usual, she slapped the boy indiscriminately a few times, and then the man quickly picked up the meal and reprimanded the other children to eat quickly. Reprimanded, from his mouth, there were not only sounds, but also scattered rice scraps.

Soon, amid the laughter of the tea stalls, the husband and wife scolded and left with the boy who knocked out a pair of front teeth. However, because they were in a hurry to take the boy to a medical hall to see Lang Zhong, none of them noticed that a shadow was already following behind them.

"Oops, it's really hot, why don't you see anyone in this medical hall today?!" After going around the huge North Street for a long time, the woman's words of complaining about the hot sun have been said several times, from the initial complaint to the current curse. However, the strange thing is that there is really no medical clinic open for business, and I haven't seen You Fang Langzhong on the street.

The boy's mouth was still bleeding slightly, but it wasn't as menacing as it had been at first. But he was still pulling at his throat and crying out in pain, crying miserably, snot and tears almost covered most of his face, and the ground was wet, and the woman was dirty. "What are you crying about?! Your mother, I'm not dead yet! What kind of mourning howls in broad daylight!! The woman was impatient, and as soon as she finished speaking, she twisted the boy's ear with her fingers, expecting him to have a long memory and stop crying, but it was the opposite, and the boy's crying was even more earth-shattering. On the side, several of his brothers and sisters were heartless and secretly laughed happily when they saw this.

"Alas, your son is bleeding all over his mouth, I advise you to take him to the northern suburbs to see Langzhong, ouch, teach the child not to be so heavy~ cough cough ......"

A hunchbacked old man walked slowly past the house, leaning on a bamboo cane, and was trembling towards the alley behind them. But he would not have thought that the woman would reply to him with a curse. "I teach my son, I want you to take care of it?! Go your way and be careful not to fall over! ”

Cursing Fang Xie here, the woman hurriedly pulled the boy, turned and left, and did not forget to turn around and scold the man and several older children who were a step too late and fell behind them. At the same time, his eyes subconsciously looked around, and found that the hunchbacked old man just now was gone, and he couldn't help but "tsk" twice in his mouth. "This old man, his legs and feet are quite fast! Huh! Don't hurry up yet! So slow, the sun is setting! ”

"Haha, if my dead old man is not happy, how can I send you to Hades so quickly?!"

The women walked away, and at the mouth of the alley they had just passed, a man dressed in coarse cloth and carrying a medicine box on his shoulder came out. The bamboo cane that the hunchbacked old man was holding in his hand just now was being held in his hand at the moment, and on the ground, there were a few strands of gray whiskers scattered on the ground. It turned out that the hunchbacked old man was exactly what he disguised himself.

From the time their family entered Yecheng, to the tea stall in Fangcai, and then to leaving the tea stall, he always stared at them closely along the way, like a shadow.

Now that he has led people to the northern suburbs, the next thing is much easier. However, if it weren't for the master above him who asked him to leave the woman alive for the time being, he really wanted to be the first to deal with her. Without him, he just hates noise.

Northern suburbs, riverside grass huts.

The legs and feet are fast, and they arrived a long time earlier than the big family, the so-called Langzhong, who is cooking a pot of mung bean soup unhurriedly under the grass shed that has been temporarily erected at the moment, counting the hours, and when the mung bean soup is cooked, it is slightly cold enough not to burn the mouth, and the family should also arrive.

"Huh! Is there anybody?! Is anyone there?!! As soon as "Lang Zhong", who was slowly serving mung bean soup, heard this voice, he immediately flashed a few words in his mind, shrew, dominatrix, long-tongued woman......

Rushing in, the footsteps were messy, the family swarmed into the grass shed, and the man didn't even ask, he directly picked up a bowl of mung bean soup, and only heard a few "coo dong dong", afraid that someone would rob him, and he didn't taste any taste, and poured himself a full stomach first.

"It's okay to have this child's tooth, I have a way to fix it, you go with me first and take off the medicine." Bowl after bowl, "Lang Zhong" watched with his own eyes that all the people in this family drank mung bean soup except for the women, but coincidentally, they didn't leave a single star for the woman. However, this is also in line with the meaning of "Langzhong", this mung bean soup was not originally prepared for her.

The woman's mouth was still full of broken star complaints, like a monk chanting scriptures left and right, disturbing people's hearts. Turning a corner, the woman followed "Lang Zhong" into a hut behind the straw hut. "Nurse, I don't know why you went back to Yecheng this time? Father, he should have quit you years ago......" Knowingly asked, Liu Shi, who was sitting in the hut, habitually tapped the edge of the table with a few fingers of his right hand very regularly. In fact, this family entered Yecheng, if Xuanyuan hadn't come to him today and told him about it, he wouldn't have known about it.

Thinking about it, if there was really anything important, he and Xuanyuan Jue could only make such an unprovoked killing.

Because of the handle in hand, the person in front of her was only two and a half children, so even if she retreated to the door, she found that there was no way to retreat, and even the "Lang Zhong" just now had already pulled out a slender thin blade from the bamboo cane and put it on her throat, and the nurse's arrogance did not change, but began to scold Liu Shi and Xuanyuan Jue who did not know whether they were alive or dead.

"The milk stinks before it dries, what are you two like, one is a one-eyed dragon, and the other is a wild seed that I don't know where I picked it up! I'm the nurse of your little prince, Liu Chu doesn't dare to do anything to me, what do you two rabbit cubs want to do! ......”

Without choosing a word, the two listeners changed their expressions almost at the same time. "I'll hand it over here, you go deal with those few first!" Moving forward, Xuanyuan didn't give the woman any chance to escape and fight back, while taking over the long blade, a heartwarming foot with proper strength, combined with the martial boots he was wearing on his feet today with a gold toe boot toe, the talented nurse almost fainted immediately, her chest was in sharp pain, she seemed to hear a "click" sound, thinking that her ribs were broken.

She ...... Huhu ......" exhaled and inhaled, tearing at the muscles, and the broken ribs were like a knife at the moment, poking hard into the flesh, making her miserable.

"Ahem cough ......" is probably because of the painful appearance of the nurse in front of him, Liu Shi seems to feel the same way, his hand touches his lungs, and his palm is a breath that is sometimes urgent and slow, stuffy, and his throat overflows with a trace of fishy sweetness. Liu Shi took a few deep breaths, got up, and walked down from the chair. Leaning over and lowering his head, Liu Shi brought himself close to the nurse's face, and the tips of the noses of the two almost touched.

Silence, no other sound. Yes, it's just that the two of them breathe quickly and slowly. "What are you hiding from us?" It's a deliberately low voice.

"Huhu...... Ahem...... The prince is not the prince, he is the ...... of the county."

The sharp blade rushed out, and the throat was sealed with blood. A moment later, two and a half children appeared on the bank of the Jinhe River, one after the other, walking towards the center of Yecheng, and in the distance behind them, the burning grass hut seemed to have nothing to do with them.
