Chapter 21: Finding the Murderer
Liu Weifeng was almost in shock, Qu Langzhong hurriedly pricked his feet three miles with a silver needle, and he really came back to his senses in a moment. He had to inhale strongly to fight the pressure of the pleural atmosphere with internal strength, and every time his lungs swelled, he blocked his chest, rested and then inhaled and let go...... Little by little, until your lungs are full.
Then wash the wound several times with a clean cloth dipped in boiling water, put the damp cloth in your mouth and bite it, press and pinch the skin and flesh of the wound with one hand, and pick up the boiled needle and thread with the other hand and sew it together. Everyone present was terrified, every stitch and thread seemed to be pierced in their hearts, and the ancient Guan Gong scraped the bones to cure the poison, right? Amazing!
After the stitching was completed, he knotted his hands, took out the cloth in his mouth and dipped it in water and wiped the blood, and then examined the "work" he had stitched, as if he was quite satisfied. He asked Lang Zhong to fetch a plaster and put it on the wound.
"Let's live!" After he put all kinds of things back in their places, he said quite weakly, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with his arm, and stretched out his hand to point to the bowl of salty water. β
An operation made Qu Langzhong impressed by him, and when he heard him say this, he hurriedly said: "Since it should be so, since it should be like this, the son can rest at will, if there is any need, just say it." β
Liu Weifeng held his hand and said, "Qu Langzhong, today is really ...... Thank you so much! β
"No, no, no, what's the point of carving insects? But the son really opened the old man's eyes! You can rest in peace. After speaking, he and everyone helped him lean on the futon, half lying, and then packed up his medical equipment, and the family here was also busy cleaning the blood, cleaning up the basins, etc......
Liu Weifeng woke up naturally after squinting for about half an hour, and found that Zhang Youyu's family of four was still guarding the house, but they were all sitting on the stool and did not dare to breathe, so as to disturb his sleep for fear of disturbing him, and only came to greet him after seeing him wake up. made him feel moved again, thinking, how can he make this family so good to him?
After he sat up in pain, he walked cross-legged around a few times, and then he was about to get out of bed and walk, the Zhang family naturally refused, and the two men supported Qu Langzhong and went out and helped a flatbed car, Zhang Chuanbao asked his father to continue to support him in the car, and he pulled the car home, and the two women wanted to help but didn't let them, and the steps of the two people were still steady......
Since then, the news of Liu Weifeng's medical injury has spread, and he has become a celebrity in several nearby villages.
After a few days, the sound of firecrackers was heard everywhere, it turned out that it was almost the New Year, and Liu Weifeng's homesickness was blazing again, and the hearty Chinese New Year's Eve rice, eating melon seeds, eating snacks, playing cards, rubbing mahjong, and collecting the New Year's money......
Now is the fishing moratorium, and Zhang Youyu's whole family is busy with the New Year: chopping firewood, making steamed buns, chopping dumpling filling, and making bacon...... Although it is completely different from the New Year of my own family, the lively atmosphere is much the same, and the whole family is full of festive smiles. He gradually became infected and participated, and his homesickness eased a lot.
Cuigu's fiancΓ© came to visit her father-in-law, drove a donkey cart, brought a lot of gifts, and was accompanied by a person who was a few years older than him, which is said to be called a New Year's gift. Aunt Cui hid in the kitchen and was busy, embarrassed to come out to meet people, and occasionally sent a dish with a red face, Liu Weifeng had a funny topic.
Of course, the Zhang family is indispensable for a table of good wine and food, most of which are made by two women, and according to their tradition, women do not serve when guests come. At this time, although Liu Weifeng had not removed the stitches, his body was fine, and he wanted to drink two sips of wine. The young man was a little restrained at first, and he slowly let go after a few glasses of wine, and the five of them pushed the glass and changed the lamp, mostly straight temperament, and the conversation was also speculative.
Liu Weifeng told them about the events of his time, their expressions were very ignorant, after all, they were people from two worlds, and later they also felt distant and unfamiliar, so they simply only participated in their chat......
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it was early spring, the ice and snow melted, everything recovered, and the fishing boats on the Wei River also resumed their operations. The so-called fishing boats of the Zhang family are actually ordinary wooden boats, which are simple and easy to collect.
Liu Weifeng followed the boat for the first time, and his injuries had healed. The long Wei River is like a white dragon, extending to the horizon that has just been white, and the fishing boat is swimming on it, his mood is very complicated, this is no longer the legendary river where Jiang Taigong fished for King Wen of Zhou, but a river that almost died, carrying his extremely painful memories.
Zhang Youyu and his grandfather told him about various fishing skills such as casting nets, fish cages, and fishing, as well as the types of fishing in the past few years, what they had seen and heard, and the words they talked about, and their eyebrows danced, and it could be seen that they loved their careers. They took care of themselves to "teach" him, but they didn't know that they were a "senior" hunter in front of them, and without any fishing gear, they had used their own way to fish in deep mountain streams and waterholes many times, compared to what they did!
Before nine o'clock, they had caught a full warehouse of fish, and then took a donkey cart to the Huayin market to sell, and Liu Weifeng naturally followed. The villagers in the mountains mostly rush to the market at this point, the fish is fresh, the price is fair, and it is the first wave of fish after the year, so it is very popular.
Liu Weifeng waited for half of the fish to be sold, and told them that he wanted to go inside to do something. The two of them were inconvenient to walk away at this time, saying that they would accompany him when they finished selling the fish, and by the way, they would buy fabrics quickly, and let Chuanbao's daughter-in-law make clothes for him, but he excused himself and said that he could come when he went, so he quickly ran away. Although the two were concerned, the treasure had not yet come to follow, and his figure had disappeared into the crowd, so he had to let him go.
In fact, he had already planned to visit his murderer.
From a distance, the gambling house is still full of people, and the dealer is still selling bets. After he entered, he walked straight to the opposite side of the dealer, and the dealer was startled at first, and then smiled and said: "Oh~ The master is really a rare guest!" How about the New Year? ββ¦β¦
After not seeing Liu Weifeng respond for a long time, a pair of big bright eyes only stared at him, and he instantly felt furious in his heart, "Master, who are you?" β¦β¦ The little ......" He had a sense of ominousness, afraid that the other party would come to make trouble.
β¦β¦
"Where were you on the fifteenth day of November?" Liu Weifeng finally asked, probably seeing that he didn't look like a murderer, so let's confirm it again. If it is a real murderer, he will inevitably be frightened and even more surprised when he sees himself, his surprise is completely just that he has met an acquaintance he has not seen for a long time, and then he panics because he is afraid of being beaten again.
"November 15? β¦β¦ I've been in the casino! Didn't go anywhere. He scratched his head and thought for a while and said, "It's all good business before and after year, how dare I walk away?" It was only the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year that the door was closed for two days. β
"Have you heard of anything happening along the Wei River?" Liu Weifeng asked deliberately in a weird way.
ββ¦β¦ No, ah...... "The dealer is more like a monk of Zhanger."
Liu Weifeng also wanted to tease him, or challenge his acting skills, to see if there were any flaws to be found, seeing the two new gamblers, the two of them underestimated since they came in, they were really bad luck just now, etc., and they dared to raise money and come to turn over the book.
He went over and stood in front of them, "You! ......" "It's you!" ......" From the expressions of the two, it can be seen that they have seen themselves that day.
"Inquire about something, on the morning of November 15 last year, you can see the dealer in this gambling house?" Liu Weifeng deliberately asked quietly, afraid that the dealer would make his eyes angry.
"......" one person can't remember clearly.
ββ¦β¦ November 15? The dealer is here, I remember that on November 15, I just sold a sheep, and I came to play with two dollars in hand, and I came in the morning, and the dealer has been there. β
Liu Weifeng nodded, turned to the dealer and said, "Excuse me!" Leave! Just as he was about to leave, the dealer hurriedly came around and asked, "Hey...... Master, master, is there something wrong with you? His curiosity was aroused upside down.
"On November 15th, I was conspired against and almost died, and I wanted to investigate." Liu Weifeng said in a low voice.
Unexpectedly, the dealer immediately jumped like thunder and shouted: "Which bastard ate the bear's heart and leopard gall?" Brother, what do you say that person looks like, there is no one in this Huayin I don't know, I'll help you clean him up! β
"I don't see it clearly, I only offended you here." Liu Weifeng glanced at him again.
"This ......," the dealer answered somehow, "it's definitely not me!" Although I am not a good person, I will not harm people's lives by giving birth to the Fa. β
"I believe it~~" Liu Weifeng chuckled, "Farewell!" "Turn around and go. As soon as he went out, the dealer chased him out again.
"What's wrong again?" Liu Weifeng stopped, quite displeased.
"Hey, hey, hey...... Brother, business is good during the Chinese New Year, I know you are not short of money, this is a little meaning, please accept it. Where it works, just ask! The dealer grabbed a handful of silver taels and sent them over.
"Thanks!" Liu Weifeng grabbed it, put it in his arms and continued on the road. Such a refreshing acceptance surprised the dealer, looking at his back and snickering: Temperament! As everyone knows, the young man is now cleaner than his face in his pocket, and he is lacking this.
Liu Weifeng's second stop was Huaxiang Inn, and the junior second recognized him after a little hesitation, "Guest officer, you are here, you are gone, please take a seat!" β
"Little second brother, I suddenly had something to do a few years ago, I didn't have time to check out, and I didn't take my luggage, so I came to pick it up, is the room still bad? By the way, I make it up. Liu Weifeng sat down and asked.
"Your luggage? ......" Xiao Er just brought up the pot of tea and looked stunned, "Wasn't it taken away by your friend?" β¦β¦ I don't owe money for the house. β
"My friend?" The question mark on Liu Weifeng's face was bigger than him, "When?" Who? β¦β¦β
"On the day you hurriedly rode out, it seemed to be going to Xizhai Ferry, right? At noon, several people came, and the person who entrusted me with the message to you was among them, saying that he was your friend, and that he had a meal here, and that he was taking your luggage by the way, and I watched...... The appearance and expression are not very similar, and they are afraid of making a mistake, so they asked the shopkeeper to ask together, but several of them lost their temper. At this time, one of them looked at it and took out a sword, saying that it was your token, and the horse outside. We saw that the one you were carrying, and I knew the horse, and the description of you was true, so we let them go to the room and take your things. Don't you know? β¦β¦ Ouch! β¦β¦ How's that good? Palm ......"
"Don't call him!" The little second was about to call the shopkeeper, but was stopped by Liu Weifeng, "Let me ask you, what do those people look like?" β
"The dress is very rude, most of them are wearing black cotton robes, and they also carry swords, all of them don't look like good stubble, so they don't look like your friends, and we can't afford to ask more. One of them wore a leather jacket like their head, and he had not heard him speak, but he had ...... It's just that he seems to be missing a hand. When they had finished eating and drinking in your room, they took your things and left, and gave them more money as they went. β
"Gao Daosong!" Liu Weifeng blurted out! A fierce god and evil man who has a festival with him, and he was cut off a hand, who else is it? hated that he hadn't killed him at the beginning, but he was so brutally killed that the killing intent suddenly rose! Yang hand down, "snap", the corner of the table in front of him was broken, and the leg that supported the corner of the table below was also broken into several pieces, but the rest of the place was intact, the strangest thing was that it was so powerful, a teacup on the table less than ten centimeters from the broken corner did not fall over!
