Chapter 418: What are you afraid of
The rain finally stopped falling, Meng Tianchu found that Xiao Nuo was already asleep leaning on his arms, he looked at the sky, he still couldn't see his five fingers, and he didn't know where Slayer Long and Chai Meng were now.
Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone calling his name not far away, Meng Tianchu hurriedly shouted, Xiaonuo was frightened awake, hugged Meng Tianchu tightly, and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Meng Tianchu gently touched Xiaonuo's head, originally to comfort him, but he found that Xiaonuo's head was a little hot, and he was startled, and said, "Xiaonuo, are you sick, how did I find out that you have some fever?" ”
Xiaonuo himself touched his forehead and said, "It's not in the way, I had some colds when I was in your yard the day before yesterday, it's okay." ”
The voice gradually approached, and Meng Tianchu hurriedly shouted loudly.
"Hurry up, I seem to hear Master Meng's voice." Chai Meng's voice.
Meng Tianchu saw the firelight, it seemed that Chai Meng went to call someone, and someone was talking: "It can't be that you jumped into the newly repaired dung pit, right?" ”
Xiao Nuo cried out in a lost voice, followed by the voice of the dragon slayer, and said: "It seems that Miss Xiao Nuo is also inside, this is good, both of them have been found." ”
Meng Tianchu finally saw some figures coming over with torches, and he saw Chai Meng, Slaying the Dragon, and Lao Hetou.
Slaying the dragon, they also saw Meng Tianchu and Xiaonuo sitting together, snuggling together.
Dragon Slayer: "My lord, are you all right?" Meng Tianchu: "Xiaonuo and I both sprained our feet, and she still seems to have a fever." ”
Xiaonuo hurriedly said, "I didn't have a sprain." ”
Meng Tianchu was stunned and said, "Didn't you say you sprained before then?" ”
Xiao Nuo smiled weirdly and said, "If I don't say that I sprained, you will jump down to accompany me?" ”
Everyone laughed, Meng Tianchu pointed at Xiao Nuo, and said, "You really hurt your Brother Meng." There's nothing wrong with your foot, my foot is really sprained. ”
Xiao Nuo looked at Meng Tianchu in surprise. "Really? Why didn't you tell me? ”
Meng Tianchu: "Okay, let's get out of this dung pit first, let people know that the prefect of Hangzhou and Princess Fengyang fell into the dung pit, then it will be really a shame." ”
Lao He Tou smiled and said, "It's just cultivated." It doesn't matter cleanly. ”
Xiaonuo: "No, it stinks inside!" ”
Everyone laughed again, and Dragon Slayer saw that Meng Tianchu was injured. It was impossible to lower the rope, so he jumped down and saw the situation first.
Slaying the dragon stepped forward with a lantern and asked Xiao Nuo to help Meng Tianchu get up with him, Meng Tianchu tried it, but still shook his head painfully.
Slaying the dragon said to Xiao Nuo: "I'll carry the adult on my back first, and then put a rope for you, and pull you up, do you care?" ”
Xiaonuo nodded, and Meng Tianchu said, "It's better to take Xiaonuo up first, she's also sick." ”
Xiaonuo: "Don't be nervous. Your Kung Fu people have already gone up, I don't have to do anything, anyway, the dragon slaying they have already come. ”
The dragon slayer carried Meng Tianchu on his back. One jumped up and jumped up.
Dragon Slayer put Meng Tianchu away, and then found a rope for Xiao Nuo, Xiao Nuo was about to go up with a lantern, when he suddenly kicked something, turned around and looked down at the light. Immediately screamed.
Chai Meng thought that Xiaonuo had been bitten by a snake. Hurriedly flew down, Xiaonuo hurriedly hid behind Chai Meng. Meng Tianchu said: "Chai Meng, Xiaonuo, what did you see? ”
Chai Meng said: "My lord, I look like a dead man. ”
Meng Tianchu was startled when he heard this, and slaying the dragon said: "My lord is a god today, what are you talking about, when you came to find Miss Xiaonuo, you also said that fortunately there was no murder, you see, didn't you find a dead person now?" ”
Chai Meng took the lantern in Xiao Nuo's hand and whispered to Xiao Nuo: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'll take you up first, okay?" ”
Xiao Nuo nodded obediently, Chai Meng handed the rope to Xiao Nuo, he was always difficult to tie it for her, who thought that Xiao Nuo was probably frightened first, and secondly, he was also feverish, and he was a little weak and almost collapsed, Chai Meng hurriedly held on.
Meng Tianchu: "You better pick her up, she is like this now, let alone pulling, even if she drags it, she may not be able to come up." ”
Chai Meng was embarrassed, he didn't know what to do, but he heard Xiaonuo say: "Then you can carry me up." ”
Chai Meng saw that Xiao Nuo said this, so he had to obey the order, helped Xiao Nuo to his back, and flew up to send Xiao Nuo.
Meng Tianchu saw that Chai Meng was a little embarrassed, so he asked him to put Xiaonuo down, supported by the two maids, changed the topic, and asked, "Who died inside?" ”
Chai Meng: "It's a woman, and it can be seen from the clothes, because there are already signs of decay." ”
Meng Tianchu: "Slay the dragon, it's better to take a look at it after you carry me down." ”
Chai Meng: "But your lord."
Slaying Long said with a smile: "It's better for me to carry the adults down to take a look, it's useless for you to persuade you, and the adults won't be at ease if they don't go to see." ”
Meng Tianchu: "Besides, in a few hours, the corpse will still change, and some things will probably have no evidence because of the degree of corruption, so let's go down and take a look now." ”
Xiaonuo: "Then I'll go down too." ”
Meng Tianchu: "You go back to sleep obediently, and let Lao He Tou find you a Lang Zhong to see, you won't go down." ”
Xiaonuo: "No, I'm going down." ”
Meng Tianchu deliberately pretended to be angry and said, "Have you forgotten what you promised me just now?" ”
Xiaonuo: "Then..., don't you want someone to record it?" ”
Meng Tianchu: "Nothing is here, what are you recording?" It's better to hurry back, after I read it, when it is dawn, I will dictate it to you again, and it will not be too late for you to write it down. ”
Xiao Nuo had no choice but to obediently follow Lao He Tou and the others, only took two steps, stopped and said, "Slay the dragon, he has a foot injury, you must pay attention." ”
Dragon Slayer nodded solemnly, and Xiaonuo left with confidence.
The dragon slayer carried Meng Tianchu down to the dung pit again. After putting Meng Tianchu down, he whispered, "My lord." Why didn't Miss Xiaonuo call you big brother, just say what he said, hehe, there is a problem. ”
Meng Tianchu smiled bitterly. said: "There is your big-headed ghost, don't think nonsense, she is just a child." ”
Dragon Slayer sneered, "But after all, she's still a woman. ”
Meng Tianchu: "She said that I was old, and she didn't want me." ”
The dragon slayer snorted exaggeratedly. "Really? It doesn't look like ah, when we came just now, you two hugged so tightly, but it didn't look like she didn't want you at all. ”
Meng Tianchu couldn't help but smile and said, "you, I'm too lazy to explain to you, I'm serious." ”
Dragon Slayer nodded, and almost hugged Meng Tianchu to the corpse.
Dragon Slayer: "Why is this person so fat?" ”
Meng Tianchu said with a smile: "This is called the Corpse Giant View. ”
Only then did Slayer Long understand, and said, "Then isn't this person originally like this?"
Meng Tianchu said: "Generally speaking, corpses decompose the fastest in summer. You see that this person is starting to have a green ground in the lower right abdomen, which is called corpse green, and it has been more than 12 hours since he died. The appearance of the deceased as a giant indicates that he has been dead for more than 3 days. This place, the temperature is relatively high, and it has rained, and it is very humid, when dead people exist in such conditions. That will corrupt faster. Otherwise slow down or stop. ”
Dragon Slayer said, "So, how long has this person been dead?" ”
Meng Tianchu took out a handkerchief from his arms. Wrapping his hand up, he saw that Slaying Long looked at him strangely, so he said: "Don't think that I love to be clean, because the corpse spots can't be washed off the ground, and they stink, I'm afraid that you will run away when you see me, so you have to pay attention to it." ”
Slaying the dragon smiled and said, "I won't, but your wife may not dislike it." ”
Meng Tianchu also smiled, first asked the dragon slayer to pull the lantern closer, then broke the dead man's eyes and looked at it, then pointed at the corpse, and said, "The highly corrupt corpse, because its whole body is full of putrefaction gas, you come and see the dragon." ”
Holding a lantern in one hand and covering his nose with the other, the dragon slayer stepped forward to look at it and said, "This person's face is swollen, his eyes are protruding, his tongue is spitting out, and his abdomen is distended, which is really ugly and dead." ”
Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "It's quite professional, but you don't know, that is, now, if you change to your life, you may not be a big beauty!" ”
Slaying the dragon straightened up and took a breath of fresh air, there is another advantage of being tall, that is, you can breathe the air that others can't breathe, haha.
Slaying the dragon: "I really haven't seen this, you see that this person's clothes are all torn to the body, as Chai Meng said, if it weren't for the clothes, I really don't know that it was a woman." ”
Meng Tianchu: "Wrong, this person is not a woman, he is a man, and he is an adult man, and he should be under the age of twenty." ”
Slaying the dragon was stunned and said, "The clothes? ”
Meng Tianchu: "Let's not talk about the clothes for the time being, and I don't know why a man wears women's clothes, but judging from the scene, we can't just look at the clothes to determine whether the deceased is a man or a woman, we have to look at the body of the deceased." ”
Slaying Long nodded convincingly, after all, Meng Tianchu was an expert, and he still had to listen to what the expert had to say.
Meng Tianchu tore all his clothes, and then Tulong understood that it was indeed a man.
Meng Tianchu said: "The abdominal wall is tense, the scrotum is swollen and spherical, and the whole corpse is swollen and swelled into a giant, it is really difficult to recognize his appearance before his death." ”
Dragon Slayer: "I'm really a layman in this area. ”
Meng Tianchu: "Don't you Dongchang sometimes have to learn some related things?" ”
Tu Long's face seemed to be a little ugly, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and said: "I have followed the current Banzai Lord since I was eleven years old, although I am a person from Dongchang, in fact, I just have a name, and the people of Dongchang only know my name as Slaying Dragon, but they have not seen my people." ”
Meng Tianchu was surprised and said, "Then have you been in the palace all along?" ”
Tu Long nodded silently, Meng Tianchu thought, probably Tu Long didn't want to mention these things, so he didn't talk about it, and then carefully looked at the other parts of the corpse, and then said to Tu Long: "If you are looking for someone, you must transport the corpse back to the yamen in its entirety, in addition, I briefly took a look at the scene, it should not be the first scene, there is straw on the corpse's body." And the deceased should have been soaked in water before his death, perhaps by drowning. These need to be dissected to be clear. ”
Dragon Slayer: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, this matter will be handed over to Dragon Slayer." ”
Meng Tianchu nodded, and the dragon slayer hurriedly helped Meng Tianchu up, and Meng Tianchu felt that the world was spinning a little. Probably squatting on the ground for too long, he almost fell, and the dragon slayer felt holding him up, and said, "My lord." I'll carry you on my back. ”
Meng Tianchu: "I'm sorry for you." ”
Dragon Slayer: "Your Excellency doesn't have to be so polite to your subordinates, you are the master, I am a minion, these are what Dragon Slayer should do." ”
Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "You and I should be brothers, not masters and slaves, how old are you and me, you should be my brother." ”
The dragon slayer was frightened and hurriedly said, "How can this be? ”
Meng Tianchu was about to speak, and Chai Meng was talking on it. Said: "My lord, the humidity down there is heavy, if you finish the inspection." Let's come up first. ”
Dragon Slayer laughed and said loudly, "We'll come up right away." After speaking, he carefully supported Meng Tianchu on his back, and then said, "My lord, let's go up." ”
Meng Tianchu nodded.
Meng Tianchu was carried back to his study by the dragon slayer, and everything was still the same as before. It seems that the maids come to clean every day. The house was very clean and smelled of sandalwood.
Lang Zhong came and saw it, and after seeing it, he realized that it was indeed an ankle sprain. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the old injury, but Xiaonuo was really sick, and he had a high fever, Meng Tianchu's foot was injured, and he couldn't get up to see, in the second half of the night, Chai Meng had been guarding outside Xiaonuo's door, and heard the maid say that the fever had finally subsided, so he hurriedly reported to Meng Tianchu, and Meng Tianchu put his mind at ease and slept peacefully.
When Meng Tianchu woke up, he didn't even open his eyes to know who had entered his room, he smiled slightly, and said, "Jiayin, why are you here?" ”
A soft voice seemed to come from the sky, and said: "I also just came, in the morning Lao He Tou came to report that Sister Fengyi scolded her, she was originally going to come, but recently she is not very well, she eats and vomits, she is very annoyed, and she doesn't sleep very well, so I came with Feiyan and let her and Gentle at home." ”
Meng Tianchu opened his eyes and saw Zuo Jiayin looking at him with a shallow smile.
Meng Tianchu took Zuo Jiayin's hand and put it on his chest, the window was open, and it rained again, and it hit the banana leaves outside the window, cleaning the banana leaves to be green and green, which was very gratifying.
"Why is it raining again?" Meng Tianchu muttered.
Zuo Jiayin turned his head to look out the window and said, "Yes, either you don't go down, or you don't finish the next one, by the way, I heard that you have closed the case of the Zhao family and Wang Wu's case?" ”
Meng Tianchu sighed and said, "Although that Feng'er's case and Wang Wu's case are closed, the case of the Zhao family's grandson has no eyebrows, and last night..."
Meng Tianchu hadn't finished speaking, Zuo Jiayin smiled, and comforted softly: "I heard what the dragon slayer, you don't have to think too much, there are really a lot of things recently, I have already found someone to go to the place where the dead were found early in the morning to do a ritual to overtake the undead, and I don't know what kind of place that place will be built in the future, you must pay attention to it." ”
Meng Tianchu suddenly became irritable inexplicably, as if a nameless fire was pouring from the dantian into his heart, making him about to explode, he broke Zuo Jiayin's hand away, and said coldly: "Where are there so many superstitious sayings, isn't it just a dead person?" You can't die and you have to do a ritual to overdo it, I think you're idle. ”
Zuo Jiayin was a little surprised, he didn't expect Meng Tianchu to be angry with himself, and after thinking about it, it was probably because the case was annoying, so he was angry with himself, so he thought about it, and said, "I know you are upset, Tianchu..."
"Okay, you go, I don't want to talk to anyone right now." Meng Tianchu simply turned his body to the side and didn't look at Zuo Jiayin, Zuo Jiayin was stunned, Meng Tianchu had never treated himself so indifferently.
"Tianchu, you..."
"I'll tell you to get out, can't you hear?" Meng Tianchu scolded loudly.
Zuo Jiayin suddenly felt aggrieved in every way, so she had to get up, tears flowed down the corners of her eyes, she rushed out of the door, just met Xiaonuo and Feiyan who came over, the two of them were talking and laughing and walking in the direction of Meng Tianchu's study, suddenly saw Zuo Jiayin rushing into the rain, Feiyan hadn't understood yet, Xiaonuo hurriedly said to Chai Meng who was following behind: "Don't hurry up and get an umbrella for the third lady, it's amazing to get wet." ”
Chai Meng hurriedly chased after him, Feiyan was about to chase, Xiaonuo grabbed her, and said: "Sister Feiyan, don't go, you don't have an umbrella, besides, the third lady is a person who knows kung fu, if you really want to run, where can you catch up, let's go see Brother Meng, he must have run away from the third lady." ”
