Chapter 114: The Death of the Merchant

The young woman didn't finish one of the front legs, and the strong man had already eaten both of his hind legs and waist, and he still felt unfinished smacking his mouth. Then he looked at the young woman's hand and left half of her front legs. The young woman pursed her lips and smiled, handed it to him, and said, "Husband, I can't eat it, so you can eat this too." ”

"Okay, I'll eat, thank you lady." The strong man took it, and the wind and clouds quickly ate it cleanly, and even the bones were chewed and swallowed. Only then did he pat his round belly with satisfaction, and said: "Oh lady, your craftsmanship is really good, if you marry and have such delicious food every day, then my belly will be round day by day, and what kind of martial arts will I practice." ”

The young woman pursed her lips and smiled: "That's easy to do, I will give you vegetarian dishes every day, and my vegetarian dishes are also very delicious, you will know later." If you're a vegetarian, you shouldn't gain weight. ”

"It's still the lady who feels sorry for me, thank you lady."

The strong man reached out to hug the young woman, and the young woman snuggled into his arms, where the two were tired. Yunzi snorted and said to Lu Jinping: "Brother, let's go back to the room, look at their ugly and disgusting here, don't vomit all the things you just have." ”

As soon as she heard this, the young woman's face turned red with shame, and she quickly struggled to get up and do a good job, and glanced at the strong man with disgust. Although the strong man heard Yunzi say that, he didn't have any temper at all, and smiled and pretended not to hear.

The old woman said, "I'll give you a fire and bring it over, or it will be too cold in the chamber." ”

Yun Zi smiled gratefully and said, "Mother-in-law, I'll come by myself!" ”

The old woman took a stove from the kitchen, added some charcoal, and put burning charcoal in it, Yunzi carried it, pulled the door out, and suddenly a gust of wind rolled up snowflakes into the house and flew around.

Lu Jinping and Yunzi hurriedly went out to close the door, took Lu Jinping's hand, and came to the right wing.

The old woman followed, took out the key, opened the brass lock, and pushed the door in. Snowflakes poured in, and soon a layer of snowflakes was spread on the ground at the door.

The old woman helped light the oil lamp on the earthen kang in the house, and then said, "Rest early, and close the door." The snow is too big. Then he went back, and Yunzi quickly closed the door and latched it.

Lu Jinping glanced at it, this room was really small, just enough to put a bed, and there was nothing else.

Yunzi placed the stove in front of the earthen kang. Climb into bed. I touched the quilt and it felt okay, not too thin. He sat cross-legged and said with a smile: "It's a biting snowstorm outside, and we have a fire inside, this feeling is so comfortable." Especially with you, it's so good! As she spoke, she blushed and looked at Lu Jinping.

Lu Jinping looked at her with a smile and looked at herself, she was really cute, so she deliberately quipped: "Aren't you afraid that I will do something when the night is dark and the wind is high?" ”

Yun Ziqiao's face flushed. took a sip lightly, but looked up at her and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Faced with Yunzi's answer, Lu Jinping didn't know how to answer, and quickly changed the topic: "There is only one bed here, you sleep, I will sit on the side of the bed and accompany you, when the snowstorm is light, I will call you, let's go mountaineering." ”

Yunzi smiled and said, "No need, let's just sit and chat." I finally seized the opportunity to be alone with you, sir, talking and chatting, why do you want to take it to sleep. ”

Lu Jinping said: "Okay, then what to say?" ”

"Why do you want to decide on a topic to talk about? Wherever you want to go, you can talk about it. That's right. Have you ever gone hiking with someone before? ”

"Nope. I used to be so poor that I was busy earning money all day long, so I didn't have the leisure to go mountaineering. It's not like you rich children who don't have to worry about food and clothing, so they have that leisure. ”

"Liar, I don't believe it, you're a lord. How poor can you be? ”

Lu Jinping didn't want to talk about some of the past, and said: "Don't talk about this, let's talk about your Tibet, it must be fun, I haven't been there." ”

Speaking of this familiar topic, Yunzi immediately opened the conversation box, chattering, talking and laughing.

Happily, Yunzi said, "I bring wine and cooked beef, or I can eat some beef and wine while drinking." What do you think? ”

"Okay, I'll get it."

"You sit down, you don't have martial arts, you may be blown away by the wind when you go out, I'll just go and get it, it's tied to the horse, it's very tight, you can't take it off."

After that, Yunzi asked Lu Jinping to protect the oil lamp from being blown out by the wind, pulled the door out, and quickly closed the door, and asked Lu Jinping to hold the door against it, so as not to be blown open by the blizzard, and then, the cat ran to the back of the house to tie the horse, took the wine bag from the saddle, carried it back to the house, and quickly closed the door.

The sac also had a small pouch attached to it, and two wooden bowls were placed inside. He took it out and put it on the clay kang, pulled out the cork of the wine bag, poured two bowls of wine each, and said, "Come, drink." ”

Lu Jinping saw that the color of this wine was slightly yellow, and it smelled a pungent aroma, but it was different from Datang's wine. He asked, "What kind of wine is this?" ”

"Our Tibetan barley wine." Yunzi smiled and said, "My master brought it from Tubo, I am reluctant to drink it, this time because I want to play with you on the mountain, I specially brought it for you to taste." It's rare to taste it in your Tang Dynasty, so I don't know if you like it or not. ”

Lu Jinping picked up the bowl and sniffed it and said, "It's so fragrant, it must be delicious." With that, he took a big sip from the bowl. After entering the mouth, I felt slightly sour, my brows furrowed, and I swallowed it, not that hot feeling, but a bit like the sour soup taste of kimchi.

Yun saw him frowning, and couldn't help but speculate in his heart, saying, "What's wrong?" Isn't it delicious? ”

"No, no, it's delicious, it's just that it's not quite the same as our Datang, so it's a little strange. But I like it, but can this wine really get drunk? I feel like sour soup. ”

Yunzi laughed and trembled, and said: "This wine is very powerful, you just started drinking like drinking soup, it doesn't matter, drink bowl by bowl, you don't know when you get drunk, you get drunk for three days, so you have to take it easy." ”

So, the two talked and chatted while drinking.

A small half of the wine in a wine bag was drunk, and Lu Jinping already felt that the wine was coming up, fluttering, although it was slow, but it was very fierce, and he soon entered the state.

Yunzi drank happily, her face was flushed, and she looked particularly charming under the light of the soybean oil.

I was drinking happily when suddenly there was a strong wind outside the house. There was a click, and a dead branch was swept up by the wind and slammed against the window lattice, which was smashed to pieces. The wind howled in, blowing out the oil lamp at the bedside, and the room was plunged into darkness.

The branch smashed through the window lattice, and came in like the claws of the devil, appearing before them the moment the lights went out. Suddenly, Yun Zi was talking to Lu Jinping and didn't see it clearly, so he screamed in fright, and suddenly threw himself into Lu Jinping's arms. Lu Jinping hugged her little waist and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a branch, it's scary to look at." ”

The storm and snowflakes poured in through the broken window lattices, and in an instant swept away the warmth of the only fire in the house like an autumn breeze sweeping away the leaves. Snowflakes were flying everywhere in the house, Lu Jinping wanted to get up and block the window, but Yunzi hugged him and didn't let go. Lu Jinping had no choice but to comfort softly. In fact, Yun Zi has martial arts and is very smart, Lu Jinping is just a weak scholar, where is his turn to comfort the other party?

Yunzi hugged him, and his cheek was pressed against his cheek, which was cold by the cold wind, and it quickly became hot. The breathing is also rapid, and the exhalation is like an orchid, with a slight aroma of wine. It's even more intoxicating.

Lu Jinping felt the soft feeling of Yunzi's round and plump twin peaks in his chest and abdomen, and the flames in his whole body began to burn. I just feel that the cloud in my arms is so charming. couldn't help but be emotional, reached out and held the other party's face, smooth and hot.

Yunzi looked up very warmly. The star's eyes were slightly closed, his breath was short, and his bulging chest kept rising and falling. The pursed red lips showed a graceful arc in the reflection of the snow outside the window.

Lu Jinping took a deep breath and was about to kiss it, when suddenly, a mournful cry came from afar: "Someone." Someone's killed, someone is dead, come on. ”

Lu Jinping was taken aback and hurriedly let go of Yunzi.

Yunzi was in a mood and was about to meet the first kiss of her life, but she was interrupted by such a voice, and she was very annoyed, but when she heard the content of the shouting, she was taken aback and quickly stood up: "Who is calling?" ”

"It seems to be the strong man with a knife, the direction should be the thatched toilet behind the house, go and have a look."

After that, Lu Jinping opened the door, and a gust of wind swept in, making him a little unable to stand. Yunzi hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and the two stepped on the snowflakes all over the courtyard and ran to the backyard.

At this time, the people in the main house also came out and asked what was going on. While asking, he followed Lu Jinping and Yunzi to the latrine.

When I arrived in the backyard, I saw a strong man with a knife stumbling over in the dim world, panting and saying, "Dead, he's dead, there's a lot of blood, he's dead, someone killed him!" ”

Lu Jinping asked in a deep voice: "Who died?" ”

"The merchant, the merchant, is dead. Someone slit open his neck. ”

As soon as they heard this, these people couldn't help but gasp, and took a few steps back, Lu Jinping hurriedly said: "Don't disperse, everyone, if someone wants to be unfavorable to us, once they are alone, it will be bad, let's go and see what is going on." ”

Everyone felt justified, indeed, at this moment, they were afraid that they might become the target of sniping, and a few people who retreated hurriedly followed, looking around nervously. However, despite the reflection of the snow on the ground, the visibility was still very low, and in the dark, you could see a few steps away, and you could not see clearly in the distance.

Lu Jinping asked the strong man to take everyone over to check, the strong man took a few breaths, turned around and walked two steps, and then remembered that he didn't have a knife on his waist? What were you afraid of just now? Hurriedly pulled out the knife with a loud bang, slashed the void a few times, and roared: "Which thief is it?" What kind of hero is sneaky, who has the ability to come out and fight to the death with the uncle. ”

The strong man roared and swung his knife as he slowly walked back. The others followed, and came to the thatched hut dozens of paces behind the house.

Through the reflection of the snow on the ground, you can see a corpse lying in the snow, the snow on the ground is sprinkled with blood in a bright red arc, and the snow under the neck is also stained red with blood.

Lu Jinping said: "Stop, don't go over, so as not to destroy the scene and affect the investigation of the case!" ”

Everyone was taken aback, and looked at him together, and the porter said, "Could it be that Gongzi is the official of the Yamen?" ”

Yunzi said loudly: "My brother is in charge of the justice of the prison in the same state government, and he is also the baron of the founding county. Now that there is a murder case here, everyone must obey the orders of the lord, who dares not to listen, beware of my fist! ”

Lu Jinping saw that there was a murder case, of course, there was no need to hide his identity, and asked the strong man urgently: "What's going on?" ”

"Just now I came out with the merchant for convenience, originally in the ice and snow I said just find a place, no need to go to the toilet, but the merchant said that the old woman was kind enough to take us in, and we also pulled and urine everywhere in the front and back of the house, which is too unusual. I said, isn't there snow to cover it? He said that as soon as the wind blew, he left, where could he cover it? Besides, what should I do if I blow and urine onto the wall......? ”

"Keep it short!"

"Yes, yes, I will listen to him when he says so, and follow him to the latrine. But there is only one pit in the latrine, and only one person can squat. I want to poop, and he wants to poop. I told him that you were outside, and this was next to the latrine anyway, and if you wanted to fly, you would only fly to the latrine, so he was outside the latrine, and I inside. It's really a sin to shit in this blizzard, my butt is cold, but I can't help it, I'm pulling, and suddenly I hear something outside, and then there is a plop, and something falls, as if it is the position of the merchant. I felt that something was wrong, and after calling twice and no one answered, I quickly wiped the hook with a branch, lifted my trousers and came out, and saw him lying in the snow not far from the latrine. I was startled, and hurried over to take a look, only to find that his neck had been slashed, his throat and blood vessels had been cut, no wonder he didn't shout, there was blood everywhere in the snow. I was so frightened that I turned around and ran, screaming as I ran, and then you came out. ”

Lu Jinping looked up and looked around, it was a dim blizzard, so he got up and said, "Don't be separated when you are together, let's look around and see if we can find traces of the enemy." ”

At that moment, Lu Jinping took Yunzi and the strong man to search around.

The house was on a relatively flat slope on the side of the road, and beyond the gentle slope was a steep mountain wall, and the search area was not large, and I quickly searched it again, but found nothing. Lu Jinping wanted to find the footprints from the ground, but the blizzard was raging, and the footprints were covered by flying snowflakes and strong winds in a moment, and they could no longer be seen.

Lu Jinping took Yunzi and them back to the scene of the crime, and those people were immediately relieved when they saw them come back, after all, Yunzi's martial arts are very high, these people have seen it, and they still have knives on the strong man, at least it is a guarantee, the two of them are not there, these people always feel insecure.
