Chapter 100: The Donkey Boy
A few days ago, a mysterious artist appeared in the county seat of Changzi, and people called him a donkey boy.
The performance of the donkey boy was very special. He put himself in a donkey's skin, and landed on all fours like a donkey, carrying a basket on his back, and walked forward step by step, as if it were the real thing. No one could guess how big he was to hold the donkey's skin high.
Every day after noon, the donkey boy will come out of the Fengyuan inn swaying, shaking his head as he walks, and his mouth is also chanting, but he sings a minor tune of the river meander. The people applauded and threw money into the basket on his back. The leather donkey boy swaggered through the city, circled twice in the county seat, and then returned to the Fengyuan Inn, and never came out again.
The strange behavior of the leather donkey boy naturally attracted many people's speculation. The curious person followed quietly, only to see that after the donkey boy entered the Fengyuan Inn, he entered the room, and the door was closed. Then I went to the door and looked inside through the crack in the door, where there was a donkey, but I saw a strong offspring.
Since then, there have been rumors that the donkey was the hallucinatory of a donkey spirit. At this time, another strange thing happened in Changzi County. In the dead of night, a burst of chirping was heard, and people rumored that the cry was the cry of the donkey. Such a terrifying cry made the people panic, and the government wanted to investigate strictly, so this work naturally fell on Guo Zhutou.
Guo Zhutou ordered to come out, returned to the capture room, called a few catchers, and then gave orders one by one. When the drums sounded, he saw that the catchers had been ambushed everywhere according to his orders, and he also found a hidden street and alley to hide. He had just been hiding for a short time, but he saw a figure leisurely emerging from the Fengyuan Inn, wiping the black shadow under the wall, and quietly touching towards the south. When he reached the wall of a house, the man jumped over, rolled over, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Guo Zhutou also climbed over the wall, and after hiding it, he observed it carefully, and saw that the other party was a young man with five big and three thick, wearing a night coat and his face covered with a black cloth.
At this moment, a sound came from outside the wall, and then a loud roar suddenly sounded in my ears. The man jumped out of the wall, but heard the sound of fists and kicks. Guo Zhutou jumped out of the wall, only to see several figures hurrying away.
At noon on the second day, Guo Zhutou took a few catchers and went straight to the Fengyuan Inn.
After knocking on the door, a man with five big and three thick opened the door and was suddenly stunned: "I don't know what you are doing?" ”
Guo Zhutou showed his official document and said that he was invited to go to the yamen.
Guo Zhutou took him to the yamen and interrogated him in detail.
The man said that his name was Tong Zhaoxiang, and Zhao Zhuhai stared at him and asked, "Who is that leather donkey?" ”
Tong Zhaoxiang smiled and said, "It's me." Guo Zhutou looked Tong Zhaoxiang up and down: "You play a part for me." ”
Tong Zhaoxiang shook his head and said, "I can't act now!" Last night, there was a burglar in the inn, and the donkey skin was stolen. I'm going to make a new donkey skin, and I guess I'll be able to give you a solo performance in two days. ”
Guo Zhutou slapped the table: "Dare to lie to me, you are so bold!" ”
Tong Zhaoxiang hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Uncle, last night, I was indeed robbed in my guest room, and I didn't lose anything, except the set of leather donkeys." I think someone is jealous of me and wants to ruin my business. ”
Guo Zhutou's eyes rolled, and he had a new idea: "Then you just wait here first, I will go to the street to see if there is still a donkey boy." ”
Guo Zhutou changed his outfit and rushed to the overpass to wait.
On that day, the donkey boy did not come to the overpass.
Guo Zhutou knew that what Tong Zhaoxiang said was true, and he was about to rush back to the yamen to release Tong Zhaoxiang, but he bumped into Liu Langzhong at the door of Xiangrentang's crude medicine shop, and all the medicine in his arms fell to the ground and fell apart. He was busy helping Liu Langzhong pick up the medicines, but when he saw that the medicines were for the treatment of internal injuries, he was very surprised: "Who is this medicine for?" ”
Liu Lang said in a hurry: "It's the shopkeeper Tong who lives in the Fengyuan Inn, last night, someone stole something, and he found out and blocked him, and he was seriously injured." ”
In a short time, they had rushed to Liu Langzhong's house with their front and back feet.
Liu Langzhong came into the house, but first shouted: "What about people? What about people? ”
Guo Zhutou rushed over, but saw that the bed was empty, only a blood-stained quilt was pushed aside, and there were two pieces of money on the bedside.
Guo Zhutou hurriedly asked Liu Langzhong to tell him what was going on. Liu Langzhong told Guo Zhutou that this morning, he heard a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw the shopkeeper Tong lying on the ground, his face covered with blood, and he couldn't even say a word. He had a pulse, only to feel that the shopkeeper Tong's pulse was weak, knowing that his life was hanging by a thread, he didn't dare to delay, so he was busy carrying him to the bed and lying down, first decocting two pairs of solid medicine for him, and then applying some medicine to him to stop bleeding, and the shopkeeper Tong gradually woke up. Liu Langzhong asked him why he was injured like this, and the shopkeeper Tong told him about the beating he had been beaten last night. Saying that, he coughed for a while, and coughed up blood, and Liu Langzhong rushed to the pharmacy to buy internal injury medicine.
Guo Zhutou was secretly taken aback: "You really didn't recognize the wrong person?" ”
Liu Lang hurriedly said: "He came to me to see a doctor, and I went to his shop to buy goods, so can there be a fake?" ”
Guo Zhutou pulled him over: "I'll take you to meet someone." ”
After a short time, they rushed to the yamen. Guo Zhutou took him to see Tong Zhaoxiang. Liu Langzhong looked him up and down, so shocked that his eyes almost fell: "Shopkeeper Tong, you, why are you getting better so quickly?" ”
Tong Zhaoxiang looked at him blankly.
Guo Zhutou's heart moved: Could it be that he still has a twin brother? So, he suddenly said: "Shopkeeper Tong, your brother almost let people beat him to death." ”
Tong Zhaoxiang suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Where is he?" Who hit him? ”
After speaking, Tong Zhaoxiang knew that he had missed his mouth, so he had to sit down and speak as he was.
Tong Zhaoxiang has a twin brother named Tong Zhaorui. Their father is a martial artist in Fenyang, and he is very good at leg and foot kung fu. The two of them have been practicing martial arts with their father since they were children. Tong Zhaorui has reached the age of ten years and has rarely met opponents. He heard that the Yannei of Fenyang Zhixian was bullying and specifically harming girls from good families, so he rushed to fight unevenly. It just so happened that Na Yanei took a fancy to a village girl in the set, and she was about to commit violence when she pulled it into the private house next to her. The village girl begged hard, but Yanai still didn't let her go.
Tong Zhaorui rushed over and pressed Yanei to the ground with a punch and kick, who knew that he had beaten the man to death. His father knew that he had caused a big disaster, and escaped from Fenyang with his family overnight. Who knew that the family was separated halfway, he was with his younger brother, and fell to the eldest son county, in order to make a living, he came up with such an idea of acting in a donkey skin show to earn some money to subsidize the family.
