I said, "Didn't you find someone to stay in the house with the baby?" Xu Jin was helpless: "I have thought of this method, but this county is not big, it is not small, and there are thousands of households in the county, how can I have so many people to do this?" And there are a few villages next to it, not to mention, this afternoon, it's the people from the next village. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

I took a drag on my cigarette and sighed, "That's a problem. I suddenly thought: "Babies are usually born in hospitals, and if you look for them directly from the hospital, don't you know how many babies there are in the county?" Then send someone to squat, sooner or later, you can meet it, right? “

Everyone was stunned, and Zhang Fei said, "You're talking about the medical hall, right?" Whoever gives birth to a child and goes to the hospital invites a midwife to come to the house. "I really want to slap myself, this is ancient, not modern, I've been here for so long, and I haven't gotten used to it. I said, "Yes, you ask the midwife." Statistics, at least you can know how many babies there are in the county, and then it's more convenient to squat or something like that. “

When Xu Jin heard this, his eyes lit up and said: "What Brother Tong said is indeed feasible, since I can't find clues, then I might as well do a good job of protection and find clues from these people." I said, "Yes, now you can only brake with static and take the remedial action." “

The fifth master nodded and said, "Zhongyou, this method is good. Xu Jin hurriedly said: "Come, Brother Tong, I will give you a bowl." I waved my hand and said, "You're polite, I can think of this in my mind, if Zhou Yu is here, he has a lot of ideas." “

Xu Jin was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be the Zhou Junshi who rescued you and made a detailed plan?" I smiled awkwardly: "Uh~ yes, that's it." Xu Jin asked, "Then where is he now?" Can I ask him for help? I waved my hand and said, "When I find him, you children will be able to go down to the ground and scold the streets." He's over there in Yangzhou, and I don't know where they are now. “

Xu Jin sat down helplessly and said, "Alas, I can only rely on myself." I said, "It's all right, the three stinkers are still ... Well, there's more to us than the three of us, and we can help you too. Zhang Fei said: "Yes, although we can't think of any strategy, we are still more effective when we catch them, hehe." “

I suddenly thought, "By the way, you can call my senior brother and ask, he has traveled all over the world all year round, and I don't know if he has encountered such a situation." Xu Jin hurriedly stood up and said, "Then I'll go and invite him now, where is he?" I waved my hand and said, "You sit down first, just find a random person, he is at their house in Yide." ”

Xu Jin hurriedly said, "Xu Fu, go to Yide's house and invite Brother Tong's senior brother, go quickly." After Xu Fu listened, he ran away without a trace. The fifth master said, "You're not in a hurry at this time, are you?" It's dark this day, and it's not appropriate to let people run around. Is there anything you can't talk about tomorrow? “

Xu Jin reflected that he was a little abrupt just now: "Alas, Brother Tong, it's me who is rude, it's me who is rude." I waved my hand and said, "It's okay, they're the cheap ones, and they're on call." Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Are you so old?" I smiled and said, "Who let him not be righteous and run away alone in the morning." “

Ji Lingyu said: "Actually, we still have a trick, find some people to play the role of maternity, and then confuse the real with the fake, maybe the blind cat will meet the dead mouse." Doesn't that also alleviate the problem of overstaffing? And even if the thief finds someone squatting, he will definitely not go, and will definitely go to those places where no one is squatting. You say no. “

Xu Jin hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, fishing with my ears, why am I so stupid." Zhang Siye laughed and said: "It seems that today's meal was not in vain, you are not stupid, you are just a fan of the authorities." The fifth master agreed: "Yes, what the fourth master said is reasonable, Jin'er, you have to pick yourself out if you think about problems in the future, which will definitely save a lot of effort." ”

Xu Jin nodded and said, "Fourth Master Xie, my father taught." After a while, the panting Xu Fu ran back and said, "Master, the guest has been invited." The fifth master waved his hand and motioned for Xu Fu to go down and rest. Then the two of them walked slowly behind me, and I saw that in addition to Ge Xuan, the second brother Guan also followed.

Ge Xuan came in and looked at a table of people, he was also stunned, and then looked at me and signaled what the situation was. I said, "Doctor Ge, everyone is looking for your help." Hey, Yun Chang is here too. Ge Xuan said, "Oh? If there is a patient, take me to see it. I pulled him over and said, "You don't know what to do except see a doctor, do you?" This is Xu Wuye, the father of Xu Jin, the local county commander, Xu Jin is the hair of Yide, and it is Xu Jin who is looking for you. “

Then Xu Jin saluted Ge Xuan, and after Ge Xuan returned the salute, he saluted the fourth and fifth masters. The fifth master said, "Come, sit down and talk." After the two of them sat down, Xu Jin told them what had happened and what we had just analyzed blindly.

Ge Xuan pondered for a while and said, "This thing has really happened. When everyone heard this, their spirits were lifted. Ge Xuan said slowly: "When I first practiced medicine and went to a county town called Xiangwu in Yongzhou, I heard that babies were often lost there. Zhang Fei interjected: "Then did you finally solve the case?" Ge Xuan said: "The case was solved, but the murderer was not found." Everyone was stunned. Even Zilong, who is usually calm, was anxious: "What's going on then?" “

Ge Xuan still said slowly: "At that time, when I went to Xiangwu, someone asked me to go for treatment, and when I was treating, they talked to me about the recent loss of the child. I didn't think much of it at the time, so I casually chatted with the patient to relieve his pain. I interjected, "Tell the point, I'll it!" “

Ge Xuan glared at me and said, "They also lost a lot of babies before they realized that this was a premeditated crime, not an isolated case. Finally, I heard that a villager went out of the city to herd sheep, and a sheep fell into a ravine, and he was afraid that he would go back and be scolded, so he had to go down the mountain to look for the sheep, but when he came down the mountain, there was no trace of the sheep, so he had to look around.

He was a little timid when he found the blood of a dead sheep behind a hillside, but after thinking that he would have to lose money and be beaten again, he chased after him, and he found blood at the door of a cave, and because he was so afraid, he did not dare to go in. So he went back to the county town and went to a local hunter, who told him that his sheep had been slain by a wild beast in the mountains, and begged the hunter to help him kill the wild beast, so that he could skin it and sell it for money.

When the hunter heard this, he felt that the baby was pitiful, so he went with him into the mountains to look for the beast, but they found that it was a wolf's den.

The two of them alone could not have shot the wolves, so they went back to the city and called for more men. After taking them back and killing the wolves, they found a number of non-animal bones in the cave, and some of them recognized the small skulls as infants.

Everyone was shocked, took some and went to the government to report the case, and after the medical officer verified it, it was found that it was indeed the baby's skull, and it was newly dead. At that time, the county magistrate took people to the cave again and carefully checked it. Eventually, twelve infant corpses were found in the cave. Because wolves had lived in it, they couldn't tell how the bones of the babies had died.

But in the end, the medical officer compared the bones in the cave with the bones of the babies and found that the bones of these animals were all newly dead, obviously much later than these babies. So it was concluded that someone had killed the babies here and didn't know what they were doing, and then the bodies were left inside, and the smell of blood in their burrows attracted wolves. “

We were silent. Zhang Fei was the first to say: "You talked for a long time, and you didn't say what they wanted children for." Ge Xuan waved his hand, signaling that he hadn't finished speaking, and said, "They don't know, but I know the reason." Everyone was amazed.

Xu Jin hurriedly said, "Then please ask Doctor Ge to explain in detail." Ge Xuan nodded and said: "There is an evil method in ancient times that says that you can make a spirit baby by taking the corpse of a baby, but you must sign a life and death contract with the little ghost, and after death, the soul will be returned to the little ghost, so that the little ghost can continue to be reincarnated." But the possibility of failure in making and signing contracts is one of the reasons why it is possible to use these babies, and there is also an account that says that eating fresh baby meat prolongs life and youthfulness. This is the second one. There may be other things that can be done with babies, but I don't know. ”

After listening to him, everyone's faces were a little ugly, and when he said it was so disgusting during the meal, it was estimated that Ge Xuan did it on purpose, he said in his heart, uncle, don't call me when you eat, Lao Tzu took the opportunity to disgust you to death, I think he thought so. As soon as he said this, everyone stopped and did not prepare to continue eating. Ge Xuan also saw that everyone's faces were ugly, and said embarrassedly: "I really shouldn't say this at this time, I didn't think much about it just now, so I said it and swept everyone's Yaxing." Xu Jin hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay, Doctor Ge provided me with such an important clue." It's too late for me to be grateful. Zhang Fei said: "You thank him, but we can't eat." After hearing this, the fourth master and the fifth master laughed at the same time: "Then change the place and eat again, haha." ”

Ge Xuan said: "Young Master Xu, what I just said is just to give you a reference. I can go back and check with the secretary to see if there is any record of these two techniques. If you find it, it's best. ”

Xu Jin said gratefully: "You have helped me a lot, and I have gained a lot today, although I don't know what his purpose is, but I generally have some clues, and Miss Ji also reminded me just now." Once again, I thank you all for your help to me, and I would like to toast you. ”

After everyone finished drinking, Zhang Fei turned his head and asked his second brother: "Second brother, hasn't the eldest brother come back yet?" Guan Yu, who had not spoken, said: "Well, when he left in the morning, he said that he would not come back today, and he would stay with his wife for one night, and he would be filial." Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Big brother is big brother." So did you spend a day at home today? Guan Yu said, "No, I'm going to listen to the story." He pointed at me. The crowd burst into laughter again.

The fourth master said: "Hurry up, we've been chatting for a long time, and the wine hasn't been served yet, come." "With these two here, it's really comparable to thousands of troops, and I don't even know how I got back at night.

When I woke up the next day, it was already noon, and I crawled out of bed rubbing my sleepy eyes and went out to see no one. I asked the guy who was wiping the vase next to me, "Where have they gone?" Why is it that no one is gone. Jia Ding returned: "Oh, it's Brother Tong, the eldest young master went out with Miss Ji and Zhao Gongzi early in the morning." I wondered, "What did they do?" Jia Ding recalled: "It seems to say that I went out to buy something." I sighed and said, "Damn, I'm shopping again." What about Guan Yu and Ge Xuan? Jia Ding said: "Brother Guan is in the house and has not come out, and Mr. Ge has gone on a round." "I thought to myself, this product is really dedicated, as if someone gave him a perfect attendance award, and he wandered around every day.

I slipped to Guan Yu's place, pushed open the door and went in to find Guan Yu reading, I said, "What are you looking at?" So focused? Spring palace picture? Guan Yu smiled when he heard this: "You kid doesn't have a good word, I'll look at the Warring States Policy again, anyway, it's okay." ”

I said, "Why don't you go shopping with them?" Guan Yu said: "You are stupid, can't you see that Zilong is tired and thin?" I laughed and said, "It turns out that you are the most chicken thief." Guan Yu smiled and said, "Each other, each other." ”

After a couple of conversations, he read a book, and I sat in the yard and smoked a cigarette. After a while, the shopping trio came back with big bags and small bags. I said, "Yo~ It's over so early today?" Ji Lingyu glared at me and said, "If you don't help, forget it, and still talk cool here." I retorted: "Hey, old lady, it's reasonable to go out every day to scatter money." “

Ji Lingyu put the things on the stone table beside me and said, "Who do you say, the old lady, I went to buy some things to lure the snake out of the hole." I laughed and said, "If you are louder, the whole country will hear what you say." Attract snakes and flies. “

Ji Lingyu glanced at me and said, "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, don't smoke there, hurry up and come over to help." "I stood up and pulled the things they had bought with my cigarette pouch, and saw all kinds of cloth and clothes, red paper, candles, lanterns, and so on, all of which were used for happy occasions. I said, "You two are going to have a happy event?" Congratulations, congratulations. ”

Zilong said: "How can there be, Brother Zhongyou, we are making a full moon wine for the child." "I was shocked: 'Holy? You're moving fast enough? Ji Lingyu hurriedly said: "If you have nothing to do, go back to sleep, and if you don't help, you're still making trouble here." ”

I smiled and said, "On the big day of the two of you, I will definitely help." You say, let me do something. Ji Lingyu said: "You go, Brother Guan also called, and hung up these lanterns and colored paper." Then, go and write the invitation. ”

I said, "I can't read." Ji Lingyu looked at me with an idiot look on her face and said, "You are a coolie, you go and hang the lantern and let Brother Guan write." I said, "Well, you don't know how to read, and you don't blame me." As he spoke, he walked to Guan Yu's door with his things. I kicked open the door and said, "Don't look at your broken book, practice calligraphy." With that, she threw a bunch of invitations in front of him.

Guan Yu knew what he was going to do as soon as he saw the invitation, and said with a smile: "This Lingyu is really a resolute person." I said, "If you really lift her up, you will be one or two hundred and five, and you will remember that one is one and the other." Guan Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly and began to write invitations.
