Chapter Seventy-Four: The Morning of the Sixteenth Day of the First Month
Too many things happened on the night of the fifteenth day of the first month of the fifth year of Wanli, although Wang Tong was tired, he didn't fall asleep steadily, not to mention that Zhao Jinliang next door was woken up several times in the middle of the night.
Originally, I had the habit of getting up early, lying down and irritable, when the window paper was white, the surname Suo got up and didn't sleep, the delicious restaurant should have been open on the fifteenth day of the first month, but because it was equipped with the security arrangements of the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Museum, it had to be delayed until the eighteenth day of the first month, and the delicious restaurant was not open, and Wang Tong felt empty.
With this platform, I have a channel to communicate with the palace, and I will not be in a state of single contact and semi-isolation like now.
Do you want to go to Tian Baihu's house once, Tian Bo has rich experience in dealing with the world, and he thinks that he will have guidance, Wang Tong opened the side door of the house while thinking.
When he opened the door, he was stunned, and a person was sitting there leaning against the door, but as soon as the door opened inward, the person jumped up.
"Tiger Head, why are you here?"
Li Hutou held the short spear in his hand, looked at him with some panic, and looked at Li Hutou's expression, Wang Tong asked again in surprise:
"You didn't come home last night!!"
Seeing that Li Hutou's body trembled slightly, and the abnormal face on his face was clearly frozen outside all night, these two children were strange, Li Hutou, who had always been lively and able to speak, did not speak at this time, Wang Tong didn't think much about it, and said hello and said:
"Come in, come in, and let Grandma Ma make you something hot."
Li Hutou nodded, hurriedly walked in, crossed the threshold, and said sullenly:
"Thank you, Uncle Wang."
I don't know why, Wang Tong instinctively felt that Li Hutou was particularly nervous, reached out and rubbed a few handfuls on Li Hutou's head, and joked with a smile:
"I'm older, I'm only three years older than you, what do I call uncle, brother."
In the past, Li Hutou had already come up with a hippie smile, but now he said with a sullen head:
"Thank you, Brother Wang......"
Then hurriedly walked to the room, Wang Tong shook his head, people who don't sleep all night have a foggy brain, and they have a lot of experience when they were in modern college.
The thought of going to Tian Bo's house was also put aside, and he hurriedly followed up, and checked a few old clothes from his childhood in the cage, preparing to change them for Li Hutou, and the clothes would become cold after a night of cold wind.
Ma Pozi is old, got up early, chattered a few words and went to boil water and porridge, Wang Tong found out the clothes, turned around and was about to beckon Li Hutou to change clothes, looked back, but found Li Hutou sitting on a chair, arms folded, eyes unfocused, looking at the front.
It seems that the incident of Xiao Liang from the palace last night hit him too hard, Wang Tong sighed, beckoned and said:
"Don't be in a daze, change your clothes first."
Ma Pozi was busy in the kitchen, Wang Tong went to look at Zhao Jinliang over there, there was a strange smell in the room, the smell of blood, medicine and other things mixed together.
For Zhao Jinliang lying on the bed, I don't know why, Wang Tong was a little afraid in his heart, he was so ruthless at a young age, and this ruthlessness was not for others, but for himself, what a decisive heart this is.
Zhao Jinliang's face was pale, and when he saw Wang Tong coming in, he actually turned his head and smiled at Wang Tong, and shouted very obediently:
"Uncle Wang......"
Wang Tong sighed, reached forward and touched the top of the child's head, and said in a low voice of comfort:
"Don't worry, when you're well, everything will be fine."
Zhao Jinliang nodded strongly, Wang Tong couldn't find anything to say for a while, and Ma Pozi outside shouted loudly:
"The porridge is cooked, Hutou, you come out to eat first, Xiao Liang will wait for the old woman to bring it over, Master Wang, you can also come out and eat some together!"
Wang Tong answered, and when he walked out of this side, he saw Li Hutou walking out of the house with his head down, and he could see the changed clothes being thrown on the ground behind him.
Although this child is lively, he understands the rules, why is he so lost today, and he looks like he can't keep his soul, Wang Tong didn't stop him, and went to clean it up by himself.
Li Wenyuan also had a hard time, Wang Tong has always been generous in money, and everything that has anything to do with it during the Spring Festival this year has been sent silver, and Li Wenyuan also bought a set of royal blue short jackets for Li Hutou, which is very energetic to wear, Li Hutou is very happy, he wears it carefully during the day, and folds it neatly at night.
Wang Tong also joked about Li Hutou for this, but now he saw that his precious royal blue short jacket was thrown on the ground, and he couldn't help but pick it up with some confusion.
There were dotted stains on the chest and cuffs of the short jacket, which had turned purple and black, and Wang Tong reached out and swiped it on it, it was wet, as if it was frozen outside, and it had just been scratched when he entered the house.
The color stuck to his fingers was dark red, and when he got closer, there was a strong smell of blood, how could there be blood stains on his body, Wang Tong was even more puzzled.
When she walked out of the door and was about to ask, Ma Pozi walked in with porridge and rice, and said:
"Master Wang, you can also eat something, and then talk about it when you are full of big things......"
While speaking, someone knocked on the door outside and called the door, Ma Pozi shook her head and complained:
"This big morning, how come people one after another, the sun hasn't come out yet, master, you go open the door, and the old woman feeds Xiaoliang over there."
It was called the master, but according to the attitude towards his nephew, Wang Tong also felt so comfortable, and immediately agreed, strode out to open the door, Li Hutou sat in the hall, staring blankly at the white porridge in front of him, and did not move.
walked outside to open the door, but it was Li Wenyuan who came, and asked at the door first:
"The tiger's head is on the adult's side?"
As soon as Wang Tong nodded, Li Wenyuan walked in angrily, and said as he walked:
"This little rabbit cub, used to play crazy outside, and he knew to go home and sleep at night, but now he doesn't know how thick the sky is, and he doesn't go back at night, I don't know if there is a patient to take care of here, what kind of mess, Lao Tzu has to skin him when he sees him."
Dare to love where Li Hutou went that night, Li Wenyuan didn't know, he entered the hall in a few steps, and when he saw Li Hutou sitting there in a daze, Li Wenyuan was immediately furious, walked up, slapped Li Hu's head hard, and scolded angrily:
"Wang Ba Lizi, if you don't take a rope to tie you, are you going to fly to the sky!!"
Li Hutou was stunned and was slapped here, but he was slapped off the chair, and fell to the ground dumbfounded, after Li Wenyuan slapped this slap, he was also stunned, and scolded in wonder:
"Rabbit cub, usually you flash faster than rabbits, what kind of evil disease did you commit today, and you were actually stupid to be beaten there!!"
After scolding, Li Hutou, who was sitting on the ground, called "Dad", and suddenly cried, and couldn't even say a word in tears.
Li Wenyuan stared at his palms and muttered:
"Usually the bamboo strip doesn't cry, why does this slap cry like this...... My lord, the tiger head didn't encounter anything when he came here last night!! ”
In the end, it was the father and son who were connected, and when they saw that something was wrong, they immediately asked out loud, and Wang Tong also hesitated to tell Li Wenyuan the news that Li Hutou might be outside all night, and he didn't know what happened last night.
Li Wenyuan bent down and hugged Li Hutou, muttering and scolding:
"Your father was already able to kill people when he was your age, and after only a few days of eating meat, people became pampered, and it was really useless."
Although he was scolding, his voice was much lighter, but he didn't expect to be comforted, Li Hutou cried louder, Li Wenyuan really couldn't figure it out, he didn't scold anymore, he stretched out his hand and patted Li Hutou's back, hurriedly comforting.
The boy's crying came and went quickly, and after Li Hutou cried loudly, he became a lot more normal, and sat quietly at the table and began to eat.
Li Wenyuan also sat on the side in a daze, and did not scold, from Li Hutou to Wang Tong's mansion to Li Wenyuan, it has been a long time.
The hall was quiet and quiet, and there was the sound of Ma Pozi softly persuading Zhao Jinliang to eat in the wing room, and at this time, there was a faint shouting and noise outside.
The sun has risen, presumably there are more people on the street, and it is normal for the movement to be bigger, and everyone doesn't care much, last night and this morning, there are too many frightening and weird things, and everyone is a little indifferent.
Li Hutou had just finished drinking the porridge in the bowl, and there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door of the hall, and Wang Tong remembered that he had not closed the door when he welcomed Li Wenyuan in just now.
"My lord, He Jinyin was stabbed to death in the back of the Juyi Fang, and when the little ones came over, they happened to meet the neighbors over there who were panicking and shouting, and rushed over to see, but it was He Jinyin's corpse."
Sun Dahai, who ran into the house, said breathlessly.
"He Jinyin is dead!?"
This news shook Wang Tong and Li Wenyuan, who were sitting there, Li Wenyuan's eyes turned directly to Sun Dahai who rushed in, but Wang Tong subconsciously looked at Li Hutou, who heard the news, Li Hutou's whole body trembled violently, but he lowered his head.
According to his surname, he should have jumped up from the chair excitedly, Wang Tong turned to Sun Dahai and asked:
"Tell me the hell!!"
"Then He Jinyin knelt there stiffly, the blood on the ground flowed a lot, and it was about to freeze, there was a blood hole in his waist, and a blood hole in his neck, which looked like a spear stabbed, and he was carrying a small burden on his back, no one dared to touch it, so we brought it directly."
A small bloodstained burden was sent to Wang Tong, and when he opened it, it was the thick booklet that was lost last night, and it was really interesting to find it.
Wang Tong couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, and said to Ma Sanbiao, who walked in Xingchong:
"Sanbiao, there are a few pieces of torn clothes left on the ground in my bedroom, which are stained with dirty things that can't be washed, wrap them up and burn them under the big stove of the delicious restaurant!!"
Although Ma Sanbiao didn't know why, he still agreed in a muffled voice, and just about to enter the house, Wang Tong looked at Li Hutou and added with a smile:
"There was a short gun at the door, which was broken and burned in the hearth."
