Chapter Twenty-Six: Losing the Lucky Bag

"Brother Jing Ming, you are staring at me like this, it is easy to be misunderstood. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Hearing this, Li Jingming couldn't help laughing, "Shaobai doesn't have to be nervous, it's not good for men to be many, why don't we use women's clothes as the head?" ”

Wu Zichu understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Okay, I think this lottery is really not small, let's bet again?" ”

"You mean eyesight?"

Wu Zichu nodded, "If we lose, I will invite you to dinner, and Shaobai will pretend to be a woman and go to the Wenqu Poetry Club." If anyone recognizes him as a woman, I win! Unrecognizable, you win! What do you think? ”

"It's good, it's just that I don't know if Shaobai is willing to take the gamble?"

Yu Shaobai was listening to the clouds and mountains and fog, what kind of pretending eyesight, how could he not speak human words,

"Brother-in-law, what was our proposal just now, I have confidence in you, we can't lose."

Yu Shaobai sighed and said: "It's a shame for you to think of it, let me be a man to pretend to be a woman, since Brother Jing Ming wants to gamble, then Shaobai will naturally accompany him, Brother Zichu has his requirements, then I also have my requirements, I don't know if Jing Ming dares to play?" ”

"Tell me, what is it? As long as it's not a woman's costume, it's easy to say anything? ”

Hearing this, Yu Shaobai smiled and stretched out two fingers: "Between men dressing up as women to go to the Wenqu Poetry Club and going to the Wenqu Poetry Club without clothes, which one do you think I choose?" ”

"Ahem...... That one...... I suddenly felt that it was not a shame for a man to pretend to be a woman, since you are playing with Shaobai, how could I admit it, let's testify to each other, a gentleman's word~"

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

……

Just when the three of them were talking happily, a figure ran into the courtyard and said breathlessly: "San Lang, it's not good! ”

Yu Shaobai turned his head to see that it was Ah Fa, he quickly got up and asked, "What's wrong, Fazi, what's wrong?" ”

"Sister-in-law Guo is missing......"

"What?" Hearing this, Yu Shaobai's face changed slightly, how could she be missing.

"Where did you hear that?"

"It has spread in the village, we were not in the village yesterday, Sister-in-law Guo disappeared at that time, the people in the village searched for a day and a night and did not find it, Uncle Guo has just gone to report to the official."

Yu Shaobai was a little distressed in his heart, his confidence in the fact that this murder case could be solved was because of the witness of Sister-in-law Guo, who could deceive her confession, and their adultery crime would be confirmed, even if the case could not be overturned, Uncle Li would not be killed, and she was also an important clue, and this clue was broken at this time.

Just when he was distressed, the picture that appeared in his mind made his face sink, he just remembered the woman he had seen by the waterhole before, the place where she cried was the waterhole where Wang Daring died, and then she was burned alive, and then Sister-in-law Guo disappeared, so it seems that the woman is very likely to be Sister-in-law Guo.

After thinking about it, he turned his head to look at Li Jingming and Wu Zichu, "Two, I'm going to the waterhole, I may be out of company." ”

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing in the waterhole? Do you want to investigate the case now? ”

Yu Shaobai shook his head and said, "It's not an investigation, I just thought of some details and wanted to verify it." ”

"Then Jing Ming and I will go back to his house first, don't forget to come to the Li family's mansion tonight."

……

Sending the two away, Yu Shaobai and Ah Fa left the house, walked straight to the outside of the village, and soon entered the forest and came to the vicinity of the Qingshui River.

"San Lang, what are we doing here?" Ah Fa stood on the bank of the river and looked around, there was nothing, what did San Lang come to do.

Yu Shaobai squatted on the riverbank and turned his head to look to the right, the bushes over there were where he hid that night, and where he was now was where the woman was lying, due to the collective search of the villagers, there were footprints everywhere on the bank, destroying the first scene, but Yu Shaobai found a very strange thing.

He looked at his muddy field with grass and embers, and it was obvious that something was rubbing against it, and at the end of the trail was the Qingshui River.

His face changed slightly, could it be that the murderer went back and forth again, dragging the burned woman into the river? In addition, Yu Shaobai also had a bold guess, did the woman struggle to climb into the river by herself when she was burned by the fire?

"Shaobai, what do you think this is?"

Yu Shaobai turned his head to look and saw that Ah Fa was holding a lucky bag with Ziyou engraved on it, and he didn't pay much attention to it, maybe someone accidentally lost it when the villagers were looking for Sister-in-law Guo.

"Shaobai, don't you really remember?" Ah Fa looked at Yu Shaobai suspiciously, how could he not remember this thing?

Seeing Ah Fa's expression, Yu Shaobai picked up the lucky bag, could it be that he had seen this thing? Trying to recall those fragmentary pictures, really, this thing I have indeed seen, it is Uncle Guo's second son Guo Ziyou's personal blessing bag, sixteen years old this year, I heard that this is his father personally asked for him in Pingdu Temple, since he was a child, Yu Shaobai and this kid's most memory, is fighting, bullied by this kid since childhood, but the fights between children are just fun, and the fights between adults can not be generalized.

"Ah Fa, this is Ziyou's lucky bag, but why are you so surprised?"

"Isn't it suspicious that Ah Fa's lucky bag fell here? You take a look at the knot on it, this lucky bag is four years ago, he got seriously ill, and he is about to die, and then he asked for a lucky bag in Pingdu Temple, and he was cured in a few days, Uncle Guo said that it was the Buddha's manifestation, and Ziyou could live for a day is the gift of the Buddha, and never let it leave his body, why is it here? ”

"Maybe he passed by here yesterday when he was looking for his mother, and he accidentally fell behind."

"But the problem is that Ziyou has been bedridden since yesterday, saying that he was infected with the cold, and he didn't go out with the villagers to look for it."

Hearing this, Yu Shaobai looked down at the lucky bag, with a suspicious look in his eyes, opened the lucky bag, and took out a large string of knots, each knot was tied with a small paper roll, this is the habit that Uncle Guo asked Ziyou to develop, every day he will tie a knot on the rope, which contains the date of tomorrow, and at the end of the year, he will take it to Pingdu Temple and burn it, and the cycle repeats itself, and now it is the fourth year.

He picked up the last knot and pulled out the note in the knot, which read: Hongwu is the fourth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, which means that this note was put in by Guo Ziyou on April 13, and then it was not put in the note, and now it is the sixteenth, and the thirteenth is the day when Yu Shaobai witnessed the murder of the woman, what happened so coincidentally, could it be that Guo Ziyou also came to this riverbank?

"Ah Fa, let's go to Uncle Guo's house."

"Do you suspect that this matter has anything to do with Ziyou?"

"Maybe he happened to be on the riverbank like me at the time, let's go and ask, but we can't let him know what we are here for, just say to visit him."

……

Soon the two came to a small courtyard, and Uncle Guo opened the door for them, "It's San Lang, Ah Fa, why are you here?" ”

Yu Shaobai said softly: "Uncle Guo, we heard that Ziyou was bedridden because of Aunt Guo's affairs, so we thought about coming to see him." ”

Uncle Guo looks honest and honest, this is Yu Shaobai's impression of him in his memory, and his children also inherit his advantages, the eldest daughter was a well-known filial daughter in the village when she was unmarried, and the second son Ziyou and the third daughter Vanilla are also well-behaved and sensible.

"Second brother, look, who came to see you."

The young man lying on the bed heard his father's words and opened his eyes slightly: "San Lang, Ah Fa, it's you." ”

"Ziyou, let's come to see you, are you okay?" Ah Fa said with concern, in this Tushan Village, Yu Shaobai's only two friends are in this room.

"I'm fine, it's just that I'm infected with the cold, and my father has already grabbed the medicine for me, so it shouldn't be a big deal to fry a few servings."

Yu Shaobai nodded slightly when he heard this, but he had some doubts in his heart, why did he pretend to be sick? Yu Shaobai grabbed his hand, looked at him with concern, and quietly checked his pulse, only to find that he was not sick at all, and there was no smell of medicine in this room at all.

After thinking about it, he covered his stomach and said, "It's not good, you guys talk first, I'll go to the thatched house first." ”

Running out of the room, Yu Shaobai straightened up, looked left and right in the courtyard, and didn't see the stove for decoction at all, he raised his legs and walked into the firewood room, "Vanilla, what about cooking." ”

Vanilla, who was busy with her work, nodded and asked, "San Lang, is there something wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, I just smelled a smell of medicine, is this the medicine for your brother?" Yu Shaobai came to the medicine stove in the corner of the firewood room.

"Well, it's going to be fried soon."

Yu Shaobai looked at the medicinal materials inside, it was not to cure wind and cold, but to calm the nerves, and there was really something strange in it.

"You cook first, I'll bring this medicine in." With that, he poured a bowl of medicine and walked out of the firewood room.

When they came to Ziyou's room, the two were talking, and Yu Shaobai said, "Ziyou, your medicine is ready, I'll bring it for you." ”

Ziyou thanked him and reached out to take it.

"Ziyou, look at the black under your eyes, what's wrong? Haven't you slept well in the past two days? ”

"Ahem~" Hearing Yu Shaobai's words, Ziyou coughed violently, was choked, and couldn't help coughing. Looking at this scene, Yu Shaobai sighed in his heart, this kid really has a ghost in his heart.

"Ziyou, what's wrong with you?"

Ziyou avoided Yu Shaobai's eyes a little unnaturally, and said in a low voice: "Because my mother disappeared inexplicably, I couldn't sleep for the past two days, so my spirit was a little sluggish." ”

"Alas~ Don't worry too much, Aunt Guo has her own natural appearance, the Buddha will definitely bless her with peace and security, do you remember four years ago, you didn't see it at that time, Uncle Guo asked you for a blessing bag in Pingdu Temple, you will be fine in a few days, I want to come to your family is also a blessed person, with the blessing of the Buddha."

Hearing Yu Shaobai's words, Ah Fa naturally understood his intentions, and echoed: "That's right, this Pingdu Temple's blessing bag is really powerful, by the way, what about your blessing bag?" Why didn't I see you hanging on my body? ”
