Chapter 104: Search for the ship's broadside check mark
Li Mi's performance is really impeccable, and he is also benevolent and righteous to the Cai family, although he was almost buried by Cai Xuzong by the river, but he still took the risk to pull Cai Xuzong back from the ghost gate, and replaced him with anyone, he should be grateful to Li Mi.
However, Li Mi's identity is too special and embarrassing, because he is a prisoner of Cai Ge Village!
Cai Jingzhen has read a book after all, although he is narrow-minded, but he still recognizes the big right and wrong, and at this time, he took his sister Cai Yu'er, together with his family, to thank Li Mi.
But then they encountered a problem again, now that Li Mi is their benefactor, how to deal with Li Mi?
Just when he was in trouble, Cai Xuzong on the bed woke up, vaguely and didn't know what to say, Cai Jingzhen hurriedly leaned down, and everyone pricked up their ears, after all, this is a person who "came back from the dead"!
However, Cai Xuzong held back for a long time, accumulated enough strength, and the words he said made everyone feel a little speechless!
He raised his hand tremblingly, pointed to his savior, grabbed his son's collar with the other hand, and said laboriously, "Catch... Catch him... Grab it! ”
Li Mi had just revived him, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to arrest Li Mi!
It is said that the Ge family is full of righteous indignation, that is, Cai's own family, they all feel that their faces are gloomy, and they hide their faces in shame and leave!
"Sting... Listen... Listen to me, quick... Catch him, don't let him... Run! ”
Cai Jing gritted his teeth, and turned his head to look at Li Mi.
Li Mi was also a little helpless, and said to Cai in surprise: "You have to think clearly, I came here this time to investigate Zhou Yu's origin, if he is above board, why should he be afraid of my investigation, if he really has any shady deeds, why should you become an accomplice?" ”
"Besides, no matter what, this is also a matter between me and Zhou Yu, he designed to bury me, the responsibility is his, it has nothing to do with you, you detain me, I can also not blame the past, but if you dare to arrest me again this time, you really have to be held accountable, but no wonder I don't tell the truth."
Li Mi said plainly, but every sentence was reasonable, at this time, when the Cai family heard it, they suddenly woke up, this matter turned out to have nothing to do with them from beginning to end!
Brainwashing this kind of thing, an old man like Cai Xuzong is stubborn and the most difficult to convince, but once they enter the school, they will become the most staunch loyalist, the more difficult it is to change people, when he transforms, the more loyal he is.
After Cai Jingzhen and others have changed their opinion of Li Mi, only Cai Xuzong is still insisting and defending Zhou Yu!
It was also difficult to disobey his father's fate, so Cai looked at Li Mi with some embarrassment, looking very entangled and contradictory.
Li Mi held down the hilt of the knife and said to Cai in shock: "I have already said what should be said, how serious the consequences of the attack are, you had better think clearly." ”
Li Mi still has the blood of chickens and ducks in his hands, a little crazy, at this time his eyes are bright and resolute, everyone has no doubt that these hands to save people actually kill people, I am afraid that it will not be much softer, not to mention that the treasure knife in Li Mi's hand is as sharp as clay!
Cai's young men were also a little scared, and they retreated one after another, for fear of being named by Cai Jingjing, and Cai Jingzheng was even more hesitant when he saw this.
At this time, the Yao family stood up and said to Cai: "This is how your Cai family treats their benefactor?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone also understood that Li Mi was not only the benefactor of the Cai family, but also the benefactor of the Ge clan!
If there is no Li Mi to solve this crisis and solve the key point, how can it be possible to clear the suspicion of Ge Laolang and others?
Seeing the firm eyes of the clansmen, the Yao clan knew that they were all on their side, and they all recognized Li Mi, so they said to Li Mi.
"This Cai family has no human taste, I really can't stay, let's go to my Ge family as a guest."
When Li Mi heard this, he let go of the handle of the knife and said to Yao: "Thank you." ”
Yao looked at Cai Jingzhen, and then looked at those Cai clan youths, and then together with the Ge family, they protected Li Mi and left the Cai family.
The Cai family's mourning hall suddenly seemed deserted, leaving only the Cai family at a loss and at a loss, full of loss and shame, this mourning hall and the empty coffin, as if they were laughing at the Cai family with their big mouths open.
Although it was Li Mi who was invited by Yao, Yao was a widow after all, and Li Mi was not easy to live in her house.
Ge Laolang is also a little famous in these ten miles and eight towns, and his family background is not bad, but he has no children under his knees, and he only lives with a blind old wife, so it is no wonder that he often teaches the young people in the clan.
Ge Laolang can be regarded as having no danger, and the Ge family is even more fortunate that the men in every household have been preserved, and everyone is also happy.
Thinking of being more lonely than the Cai family, the Ge family brought rice wine and fresh wild vegetables from the mountains and rivers from home, and gathered at Ge Laolangzhong's house to drink together.
Ge Lao Langzhong didn't expect Li Mi to recognize the rotten intestinal grass, let alone the legendary poisonous weed, which was so similar to honeysuckle, if it weren't for Li Mi, I was afraid that more people would eat it by mistake in the future, Li Mi's move not only saved Cai Ge's two families, but also benefited one party!
The so-called benevolence of the doctor, Li Mi's righteous deeds and good deeds, have also won the respect of Ge Laolang, this old man is also a mouthful, he likes to teach the younger generations in the village on weekdays, and some anecdotes during the walking period are often brought back, and they are joked around.
People are in good spirits when they are happy, so they are greedy for two more cups, and after their minds are warmed up, they talk more, and pull Li Mi to mention some of the heroic good deeds of the year.
Li Mi also couldn't ask for it, and he had nowhere to inquire about Zhou Yu, it was rare for Ge Lao Lang to open his mouth, how could he let go of this opportunity!
So the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic, and after getting drunk, these people were also open-mouthed, and they were no longer wary of Li Mi, so naturally they had some meaning to talk about nothing.
Li Mi's skills in obtaining news are extremely obscure, these country men often say that they don't know if they leak their mouths, Li Mi also has some eyebrows, at least it can prove that this Zhou Yu did not fall from the sky, but floated on the river, and there was a small broken boat that day!
After getting this clue, Li Mi didn't dare to drink anymore, although this rice wine was a little soft, and the entrance was sweet, but the stamina was actually very large, Li Mi had to investigate the broken boat at night, how could he get drunk.
Finally, on the second watch, everyone was drunk, so they packed up their things and went back to their respective homes, and Ge Laolang also fell asleep.
Although his old woman was blind, she was very kind and considerate, arranged a room for Li Mi, and brought hot water to Li Mi, so that Li Mi could sleep, and then left with peace of mind and went back to serve his old man.
After Li Mi saw the old woman leave, he got up from the bed, and quietly slipped out.
Although it was late at night, the moonlight was cold, and there was no need to touch the dark, and Li Mi came to the front of Yao's old house in a short time.
People say that there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, let alone touching the widow's house in the middle of the night.
However, Li Mi didn't have any crooked thoughts, but from Ge Laolang and others, he learned that the broken boat that floated down with Zhou Yu was dragged home by the Yao family, and he was going to burn it as firewood, but unfortunately it was a rainy day, and he couldn't dry it out, so he could only throw it in the firewood room.
After coming out of Cai's house, Yao followed Li Mi and others to Lao Langzhong's house, ate some things indiscriminately, and then hurried home before it was dark.
After all, this old house is too far away, not as good as the new yard at the foot of the mountain, thinking that the Yao family should be staying in the new courtyard, Li Mi also walked into the Yao family's old house with peace of mind.
This was the second time he had come, so he was no stranger, so he went straight to the firewood room, pushed the door and slipped in.
This firewood house is pitch black, the Yao family is not here, and the old village is only inhabited by the Yao family, and the rest of the people have moved to the new house at the foot of the mountain, Li Mi does not need to worry about this, he didn't see the lamp, so he lit a handful of firewood and threw it into the stove.
The room gradually lit up, and Li Mi began to search.
In fact, it didn't take much time, because the wrecked ship had been chopped into firewood and piled up in the corner of the firewood room.
It is said that the ship has been smashed, and it is difficult to have any clues, but Li Mi's purpose is very clear, and he already knows what he is looking for before he comes here.
Thanks to the benefits he spent and made friends with the boatmen, the knowledge he heard from the boatmen was finally put to use.
Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Suzhou and Hangzhou are all waterways criss-cross places, what is not much, that is, there are many boats, in order to facilitate identification, but also convenient management, each boat, will be engraved with the name of the owner or can be distinguished.
These marks are generally engraved on the side of the ship, which is relatively conspicuous, while the larger boats, in addition to the side of the ship, will also be engraved on the keel to prevent someone from shoveling off the mark on the side of the ship and taking the ship as their own.
What Li Mi was looking for was the board engraved with the mark, but when he was lighting a fire on the stove, he found that there were some boat wood left in the stove, and he thought that Yao couldn't wait to dry it and had already begun to burn these boat woods.
As long as you can find the mark of this ship, you can find the owner of the ship, and through the owner of the ship, you can find out more about Zhou Yu's origin!
This ship should be not small, the ship's wood is piled up, almost to Li Mi's chest, and if he wants to find it piece by piece, the workload is not small.
Fortunately, there is no lazy way, most of these boats are straight boards, different lengths, different thicknesses, but the planks on the side of the ship are pressed and baked to make a slightly curved arc, so you only need to pick out the curved planks in the pyre, which should be the part of the ship's side!
It also pays off the hard work, Li Mi picked and chose for a while, and really found a piece of gunwales with notches on the top and painted with white paint!
Li Mi was also overjoyed, when everyone gave up the investigation and chose to believe in Zhou Yu, Li Mi did not give up, although he also encountered danger in the process, but after all, he turned the danger into a disaster, the mountains and rivers were doubtful, and the willows and flowers were bright and another village, and now he finally found the clue again!
Li Mi was about to take the wooden board to the stove and take a look at the mark by the light of the fire, but suddenly there was a sound of broken footsteps outside the firewood room!
Although the footsteps were very soft, in the dead of night, Li Mi still heard it!
