Lin Lan narrowed her eyes and asked with a big brain: "Doctor, this burn can't be lit with gunpowder, right?" ”

If it had been burned with a burning copper wire, there would not have been such crooked streaks, and it was obvious that this abuser was extremely cruel, since he thought of torturing a person in such a way. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The old doctor nodded, put the fur back on, and said, "And the degree of healing of the wounds varies, it seems that they are caused by long-term imprisonment and violence." It is unimaginable that such a prisoner can survive. ”

Pile up the powdered gunpowder into a line, and then use fire to ignite it, then once it burns, it will inevitably leave indelible burns on the skin, such cruelty, Lin Lan can't imagine what kind of crime it is to be tortured like this.

"Hot ...... Hot water came. ”

The old doctor frowned and said, "Put it under the bamboo couch and go get a few more pots." The burns and frostbite on his body should not be touched with hot water, otherwise once the blood flow accelerates, it will erode. Now it can only be heated like this. Mingfeng, you go with me to adjust some external ointment, now that he is so weak, it depends on whether Lord Yan can accept him. This son, after applying the ointment, there is nothing I can do. ”

"Well, thank you, doctor." Lin Lan still didn't have much expectations. When Shunyo tripped over the young man, Lin Lan almost thought that it was a dead corpse that was about to be reported to the authorities.

As a result, the "dead corpse" with a very low body temperature actually said a word to save me, which allowed Lin Lan to be sent to Hu Xingtang.

Shunyo frowned and said, "Young master, it's too unlucky." We can't get him home, can we? "This is the New Year, don't stay at home, it is estimated that the old man and the lady will not scold people during the New Year, for the sake of good luck, let go of the master and servant, but to carry a "dead corpse" back, it is estimated that Lin Lan and the two will not be able to return home tonight.

The old doctor adjusted the ointment, put it in two boxes, and said: "One box for burns, one box for frostbite, life and death are fate, he is angry, he really can't use decoction to regulate, otherwise it will only get worse." ”

Lin Lan paid the money, and asked Hu Xingtang's two men to help carry the dying man back to the bamboo forest building.

"Young master, we haven't known him before, so we don't need to work so hard to save him. If he dies, the county master will still trouble us. ”

Lin Lan frowned, and saw that the man's hand was always clenched, so he said, "Shunyo, go and cook some rice soup, he is so weak, he can only eat this." I helped him with the dressing. ”

"Young master, you are too kind-hearted, if you meet someone who can't afford to eat on the road every time, what a big injustice you have to make."

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up!"

"Oh."

Lin Lan lifted the fur fur and began to apply the medicine. Every time he touched a new wound, the man's body would twitch, as if he had been stimulated by something.

"Don't, don't......" The man seemed relieved, his mouth filled with fear.

"I was wrong...... Never run away again...... Put...... Leave me alone......"

Lin Lan was smeared with medicine, listening to the man's frightened voice, it was hard to imagine how this kid survived such a devastation. He counted it carefully, and there were seventeen scalded "centipede scars" on his arms alone, not counting those that grew new flesh and healed. The feet were even more sore, bloody and bloody.

Lin Lan pulled out the thing he was holding tightly from the man's hand and looked closer under the candlelight.

"Salt cakes?"

In ancient times, salt was the top priority of taxation, and there were not only special officials to supervise the tax on salt sales, but also to legislate to severely punish those who bought and sold illegal salt. According to the "Dajing Law", those who buy and sell illegal salt up to 100 catties will be sentenced to hanging.

In other words, if there is no money inspection issued by the government in person, and you are found to have more than 100 catties of illicit salt, and there is a business behavior, you can be sentenced to hanging.

Lin Lan touched the color of the salt cakes, which were a little black and yellow, and at first glance, they were very different from the salt cakes they were buying on the market. He muttered to himself, "Could it be ...... This tenacious Xiaoqiang escaped from the private salt marketing den? ”

He suddenly felt that things were a little complicated. It doesn't seem to be an isolated case. In Yangzhou City, there must be a huge and terrifying den for making and selling smuggled salt. The fact that taxes are falling year after year does not seem to be groundless.

Shunyo fed the unbeatable Xiaoqiang some rice soup and looked enviously at the fireworks lit outside the window. Now he can only use Lin Lan's comic thinking that he handed over to him, looking at the fireworks set off by others, and feeling that he has saved a sum of money. Thinking about it like this, his heart felt much better.

Lin Lan took the time to rush home.

The four of the three aunts and their own mothers are already loyal friends. Keeping the New Year, for them, is one circle after another. Lin Ruhai was drinking and chatting with a few uncles and distant relatives, and he was staggered, so he naturally had no effort to care about Lin Lan.

On this festive Chinese New Year's Eve when adults were talking and laughing and children were playing crazy, Lin Lan gradually smelled a bad smell. A dark force full of evil, viciousness, and inhumanity, as if it were the gravedigger of the empire, is unscrupulously selling illicit salt, evading taxes.

And what can he do?

A young man who doesn't even have a reputation doesn't seem to be able to do anything.

The cold wind blew, and a cloak was draped on Lin Lan's shoulders, and Wang yawned and said, "Where's the fur?" On such a cold day, wearing such a thin outfit, I was worried about freezing. ”

"Thank you, mother." Lin Lan smiled slightly.

If you can't see the darkness, the world is still peaceful and beautiful.

The old year is over, and the new year is coming.

Halfway through the hour, the sky, which had been quiet, once again bloomed with brilliant colors. Yangzhou never sleeps for hundreds of miles, and the sound of fireworks resounded in the sky.

Lin Lan bowed her hand to the elders in the family to greet the New Year and received a lot of New Year's money. The year was over, and he went to the cook again to get a lot of food, and sneaked out the back door.

In the bamboo forest building, Shun looked at the half-dead man, curled up his body, cried, and whimpered: "Young master, why haven't you come back yet!" ”

……

……

Far away in the Jiafu of Jingshi, it is also very lively.

Yingchun, Xichun and other Miss Jiafu watched the gorgeous scene of fireworks with Daiyu. Unlike other men, Bao Erye is not interested in fireworks, and with many sisters, he lies on the railing and frolicks.

"Sister Daiyu, you are alone, can you live in Jiafu with peace of mind? Brothers and sisters here are not outsiders, if someone bullies you, tell me, and I will teach them a lesson. ”

Lin Daiyu looked at her slightly from afar, and she didn't know why she had a complicated emotion when she heard Avon praise her eldest brother so much, which made her unconsciously want to avoid the family that belonged to her, as if she was a burden in the Lin family, a person who shouldn't exist.

Seeing Daiyu's melancholy eyes, Bao Erye's body got closer.

In the dark, I want to protect her well.
