Chapter Forty-Eight: Seeing Xia Wuqi for the First Time
"Fang'er!"
The man in white shouted as he walked in the direction of Zhao Zheng.
"Daddy!"
Ah Fang heard someone shouting about himself, turned his head and saw that it was his father, and then ran over.
Seeing that Xia Wuqi was empty-handed, he looked into the willow basket through the gap in the willow basket on Xia Wuqi's shoulder, and when there was no trace of the fish, Ah Fang pouted and "questioned" dissatisfiedly: "Huh? Daddy, what about other people's fish? ”
Xia Wuqi touched Ah Fang's little face very dotingly, smiled slightly apologetically and replied, "Daddy has some things today, so he didn't fish for the side." Next time, next time Daddy will definitely give Ah Fang a big stick, okay? ”
"That's pretty much it, huh!"
Hearing Xia Wuqi say this, the extremely sensible Ah Fang naturally would not be unforgiving. made a grimace at his father, then turned around and staggered back to Zhao Zheng's side.
When Ah Fang and Xia Wuqi were talking, Zhao Zheng watched Xia Wuqi's every move intently.
"Shhh...... This is Xia Wuqi! I'll go, I'm pretty handsome! If it weren't for the huge willow basket on his back, a white-clothed scholar who was alive! Looking at Xia Wuqi with a soft face, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but exclaim.
However, amazed and amazed, as soon as he thought that Zhang Kui's death might be seen by Xia Wuqi, Zhao Zheng's heart "chuckled" again.
"Shhh...... This kid is recovering so fast! It seems that Dr. Liu's medical skills are incomparable to me, alas...... It's really 'ginger is still old and spicy'! ”
At the same time, following Ah Fang's stumbling footsteps, Xia Wuqi saw Zhao Zheng standing not far away. Xia Wuqi naturally blamed the reason on Doctor Liu's unsurpassed medical skills, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Huh...... How is Zhao Xiaoyou now? ”
Xia Wuqi didn't want to waste time on Zhao Zheng, but because he was an elder, he greeted him very politely.
Although Xia Wuqi hated the Qin people to the core, he didn't have much malice towards Zhao Zheng personally. Because in his eyes, no matter what he says, half of the blood in Zhao Zheng's bones is from Zhao, not to mention that he is still a child. The reason why he didn't come to the rescue that night, in addition to the hurdle of not being able to get over the "Battle of Changping" in his heart, was that he was extremely annoyed that Zhao Ji didn't listen to his advice at that time.
Although Zhao Zheng couldn't see anything abnormal from his appearance at this time, he was already nervous in his heart.
"Huh...... Thanks to Uncle Xia for his concern, it's already much better. Zhao Zheng bowed back with a smile.
"Hmmm......"
Seeing that Zhao Zheng was quite respectful to himself, Xia Wuqi nodded slightly and said, "You go home early, so as not to cause another incident!" ”
After Xia Wuqi said this, he didn't pay attention to Zhao Zheng's reaction, took Ah Fang's little hand and left.
"Shhh...... He didn't mention Zhang Kui! Didn't he know that it was me and Zhuang, or that he hadn't found Zhang Kui's body at all? Not...... Or are you just pretending to be stupid and pretending not to know! Hiss...... Damn, it's better to be careful! ”
Looking at Xia Wuqi's figure gradually moving away, the smile on Zhao Zheng's face was gradually replaced by a dignified color.
"Damn, don't care about him, 'the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth'!"
Zhao Zheng looked at the heavy delicate small basket in his hand, patted the dirt on his body casually, and walked in the direction of home.
At this time, Xia Wuqi's brows were tightly knit and thoughtful, and the little girl who was being led by Ah Fang couldn't catch up with his steps.
"Daddy!"
Ah Fang shouted Xia Wuqi a little angrily.
"Huh?"
"Where is Daddy going, why is he going so fast, the house can't keep up!" Ah Fang blinked her big black and shiny eyes and complained at Xia Wuqi.
"Uh...... Oh, let's go to Grandpa Liu's house. Come on, daddy hug! ”
After briefly explaining to his precious daughter, Xia Wuqi picked up Ah Fang and hurriedly walked towards Old Doctor Liu's house.
Just as Zhao Zheng was worried, Xia Wuqi, who was originally going to fish for his daughter to eat, did find Zhang Kui, who had died tragically, on the bank of the Fuyang River. At this time, it was when Zhao Zheng entered the city, so Xia Wuqi didn't know who killed Zhang Kui. Xia Wuqi was stunned by Zhang Kui's tragic situation, and when he saw the extremely familiar willow basket beside Zhang Kui, he ran towards the city gate without saying a word. After reporting the specific situation to the city gate official, he rushed to Doctor Liu's house non-stop.
"Shhh...... How could Zhang Kui, this kid, be killed by someone? Although this kid is naughty by nature, he has never heard of offending anyone! To say offended...... It seems that he is bullying the children in the neighborhood who are younger than him, but this can't reach the point of being killed, who will this be? Xia Wuqi thought as he walked.
"Could it be...... Could it be Zhao Zheng, this kid? Xia Wuqi's mind suddenly flashed Zhao Zheng's appearance.
It is no wonder that Xia Wuqi will suspect Zhao Zheng, because in Xia Wuqi's opinion, Zhao Zheng, who is often oppressed by Zhang Kui, is the most likely to have murderous intent towards Zhang Kui.
"But...... Hiss...... It's impossible! Although Zhao Zheng has a very stubborn temper, he is actually cowardly by nature, if he really has the courage to kill, then he won't be urinated by these little bastards just now!"
Thinking back to Zhao Zheng's image just now, Xia Wuqi could be sure that Zhao Zheng had just been beaten up again and had been insultingly urinated. Thinking of this, Xia Wuqi was extremely decisive in excluding Zhao Zheng.
Along the way, Xia Wuqi didn't say a word, just walked forward silently. Although Ah Fang, who was lying in Xia Wuqi's arms, wanted to know what her father was thinking, she was extremely well-behaved, but she still didn't disturb Xia Wuqi's thoughts, and just lay on Xia Wuqi's shoulder very quietly.
After walking in the streets and alleys for a while, Xia Wuqi stopped in front of a green brick and grass house. After gently placing Ah Fang on the ground, Xia Wuqi gently patted the door of Old Doctor Liu's house: "May I ask if Senior Liu is here?" The younger generation Xia Wuqi has something important to tell you! ”
Since Zhang Kui had not yet returned, Dr. Liu was about to leave for Hanshan. At this time, hearing Xia Wuqi calling the door outside, Old Doctor Liu hurriedly put down the things in his hand and went out to greet him.
"Oops! Isn't this Dr. Xia? Oops, rare guests! Hahaha......" Old Doctor Liu walked out of the door and greeted him with a smile.
Xia Wuqi saw that Old Doctor Liu went out to meet him, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "I've seen Old Doctor Liu!" Fang'er, come, kowtow to the old man! Xia Wuqi patted Ah Fang's little head and said softly.
"Fang'er has seen the old man, Fang'er kowtowed to Uncle Zhang!"
Ah Fang is an extremely obedient little girl, and what her father says is what she says. As soon as Xia Wuqi's words fell, Ah Fang's three heads really kowtowed.
"Haha...... What a well-behaved little girl! Or Doctor Xia will train the child! Haha......" Gently touching Ah Fang's pink and fair little face, Old Doctor Liu couldn't help but praise with a smile.
Xia Wuqi has always attached great importance to his daughter, which is an extremely valuable thing in the era of patriarchy. Seeing that Old Doctor Liu commented on his daughter like this, Xia Wuqi nodded to his daughter with great satisfaction.
Ah Fang saw that his father nodded at him, and the little girl who knew that she had completed the task stood up very naughtily and ran to the side to play.
Old Doctor Liu smiled and watched Ah Fang run to the side to play, then turned his head up and down to look at Xia Wuqi, who was full of worry, and asked directly: "Little brother Fang Cai said that he had something important to tell him, I don't know what it is?" ”
Xia Wuqi pondered in his mind for a moment, then took a deep breath and replied, "Senior, the kid found Zhang Kui's body by the Zhu River......
"What!"
Old Doctor Liu was extremely shocked when he heard this, and stared at Xia Wuqi with a worried face with his old eyes full of disbelief......
