Chapter 031: Returning a Girl to a Virgin (3)
Qing Wei, the daughter of the shopkeeper of Tofu Fang, fell to her death in the middle of the night, but at the scene of the fall, no evidence of a misstep was found. Liu Sheng glanced at the sky with his eyebrows, and asked Lin Hu, "Do you know that Qing Wei fell that day?" ”
Lin Hu thought for a while and said, "I received a letter from my uncle yesterday, and the person who delivered the letter said that it was delayed for a while on the road, and it was delivered late, and he urged me to come back quickly." I have seen the shoes he called, the upper is new, but the upper is slightly worn, from Hutaozhai to Yangjiaji, there is only a mountain road, under normal circumstances, if you start early, you can arrive at night. If you go to the county office, the time will be later. I received the letter in the afternoon, and the person who delivered it was about a day and a half away. ”
"In other words, Qing Wei is very likely to have fallen from the building the night before yesterday."
"Are you addicted to catching fast and have to analyze this problem on the spot?" Xing Ruyi pointed to the wing: "Take two steps and ask Lin Hu's uncle, Qingwei's father, don't you know if you know the shopkeeper Liu of this tofu shop." ”
"Oh, look at my elm pimple head, it's still Ruyi right, I'll ask my uncle if I know."
Lin Hu slapped his head with his big hand and walked quickly towards the wing. As soon as he took a breath, he ran out again with a panicked face.
"Oh no, no, my uncle is out of breath."
"What did you say?" Yanagi's face changed.
"My uncle, my uncle, he seems to be out of breath. I just went in and called him, and I didn't react at all. Lin Hu was so anxious that he only turned around: "By the way, doctor, I have to go to the doctor." ”
"What kind of doctor are you looking for, I'm half a doctor, let me go in and have a look first."
Xing Ruyi pushed Lin Hu and carried his skirt into the wing. I don't know if it's because there is an extra coffin in this room, which looks dark and cold. Fortunately, Xing Ruyi was a person who had been to the underworld, so he only rubbed his hands and went to the bed of the shopkeeper Liu.
When he was admitted to the hospital, Xing Ruyi had taken a look at this wing room and heard the coughing sound of the shopkeeper Liu. The voice was not loud, but it seemed a little rapid, and there seemed to be a congestion in the throat. thought it was caused by the old man's loss of his beloved daughter and sadness, so she didn't take it to heart. Looking at it now, this shopkeeper Liu is not only sad, but really sick.
At this time, Shopkeeper Liu's eyes were closed, and his reaction to the outside world was weak, but his pulse and heartbeat were still there. When I opened the eyelids of the shopkeeper Liu, I found that my eyes were red, which was also a sign of illness.
"Ruyi, do you really know how to see a doctor?"
Lin Hu stood at the door and looked inside.
"Move to the side, you're in front of me."
Xing Ruyi said, opened the quilt on Shopkeeper Liu's body, and found that he was swollen from his waist. So, he turned around and said to Lin Hu: "There are many neighbors outside the door who are shopkeepers of Liu, please go out and ask, see what is the situation before Shopkeeper Liu is sick, but someone came to help take care of it." ”
"My uncle is sick?"
"Of course I'm sick, but I'm not dead yet."
Xing Ruyi pulled the quilt up again: "Hurry up and ask, if it's a little later, even Hua Tuo can't do anything if I'm afraid." ”
Lin Hu answered and ran out quickly. It didn't take long for someone to come back.
"This is my uncle's guy from the tofu shop, Ruyi, if you have any questions, just ask him directly. Well, my uncle really didn't die. ”
"Not dead, not dead, really not dead. At least I'm here, and no one has dared to seduce him with his life. ”
The ghost card is in his body, and it was given by the Immortal Monarch himself, Xing Ruyi's words are not bragging. As long as she is still in the courtyard of the Liu family, those soul seduction messengers, even if they come, they have to wait outside.
"Are you a buddy of Shopkeeper Liu?"
"Well, yes."
The young man looked pretty neat. Probably because Fang was frightened by Lin Hu, his face was slightly pale, and his expression was a little nervous, and even when he replied, he couldn't help but glance at Lin Hu from the corner of his eye.
"You don't have to be afraid of him, just reply to my words. I'm just asking you about Shopkeeper Liu's condition. ”
The young man nodded.
"When did your shopkeeper get sick?"
"It's been a while. The shopkeeper is strong, and he is also very diligent and thrifty on weekdays, even if he is sick, he refuses to let people know, and he is even more reluctant to spend money on medicine. ”
"When did his illness worsen, and what was the situation at that time?"
"I don't know exactly when it got worse. Although I am a shop man, I am out to help, and if I don't have the call of the shopkeeper on weekdays, I rarely come to the yard. All I know is that just a few days before the young lady died, the shopkeeper's legs and feet had become unstable, his eyes were red, he was always panting when he spoke, and he occasionally coughed.
The person who bought tofu didn't know how hard it was to make tofu, we often had to work until the middle of the night, and several times, I heard the shopkeeper coughing, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. In those days, the young lady was also worried, saying that she should help him hire a doctor, but the shopkeeper refused. Because of this incident, the young lady also had a dispute with the shopkeeper. ”
"Then when did your young lady, that is, Qing Wei, happen, happen?"
"Yes, but I didn't know until later." The young man was anxious to clear himself first: "Miss fell from the stairs in the middle of the night five days ago. Because the shopkeeper was sick, the tofu shop didn't open for several days, so the young lady asked me to go home first. I have an old lady at home, and I need to take care of it in the past. However, I take the time to come over during the day and help take care of the tools for grinding tofu. When I came, the young lady had already had an accident, and she was lying there, her body was hard. The shopkeeper collapsed at the door, and I poured him several mouthfuls of water before he woke up.
Oh yes. I said that I was going to report to the Yamen, but I was stopped by the shopkeeper. He said that the young lady fell to her death by falling from the stairs by herself, and the yamen didn't care about these things, so I asked me to carry the young lady to the house first, and then find someone to help clean it up, and then go and order a coffin by the way. ”
"Then, when your young lady died, did she wear that black veil on her face?"
"Yes!" The young man nodded: "That black yarn, Miss has been wearing it for a while." Listening to the shopkeeper, the young lady didn't know what she had used wrongly, and she had a large rash on her face. It was inevitable to frighten the guests, so they temporarily covered it with a black veil. ”
"Have you ever seen Miss's face with a rash?"
The young man shook his head: "What's so nice about the face of the rash, but the face of the young lady before the rash is still very good." ”
"In this way, Qing Wei is still a beauty."
Xing Ruyi glanced towards the coffin.
The young man lowered his head and touched the back of his head, and replied with some embarrassment: "Miss is a beauty, I don't know." Anyway, in our Hutaozhai, there are not many people who are better looking than Miss. ”
"Oh, upper-average beauty." Xing Ruyi sighed softly and came to a conclusion.
On the side, Liu Sheng frowned and said, "This place is not far from the government, and the climate is not much different." Four or five days ago, it was a cloudy day, the moonlight was dim, and if you went out late at night, if you didn't hold the lamp and candle, you couldn't even see the things in front of you clearly. ”
"No, late at night five days ago, I still led a few officials to catch the thief, don't say that the thing in front of me is the opposite door, I can see it really."
"You are a martial arts practitioner, and your eyesight is naturally better than ordinary people. Besides, you catch the thief in the county town, although it is late at night, there are many shops around, and only the lanterns hanging in front of the store are enough. If I'm not mistaken, the place where you caught the thief that day was still next to the Qinglou. ”
"Hey, hey." Lin Hu laughed dryly: "If you don't say it, I forgot, it's indeed next to Xinghualou." That kid is a habitual thief, who specializes in stealing guests who go for pleasure. If you have good luck, this night, wait to catch up with our year's fortune. ”
"Does Qing Wei know martial arts?"
"No, it won't." Lin Hu shook his head: "She is a girl's family, how can she learn that." ”
According to his neighbors, Qing Wei has been learning how to make tofu since he was a child. Over the years, the eyes are bound to suffer some damage. Moreover, the young man also said that the black veil on Qing Wei's face was not only after death, but was already worn before death. Even if you're traveling at night with a black cloth over your eyes, you can't see clearly. ”
"If this is outside, it will definitely be a little difficult, if it is in your own home, all aspects are familiar to you, don't say that you cover a black veil in front of you, even if you are blindfolded, I can still cook on the fire."
"Well, what Lin Hu said also has some truth." Xing Ruyi handed the paper he had just written to Lin Hu: "Miss Qingwei's matter, let's talk about it later, can I trouble you now, go and help your uncle get the medicine first." This matter of the dead can wait for a while, but the matter of the living cannot wait. ”
"In the blink of an eye, Ruyi has prescribed all the prescriptions. But what kind of illness did my uncle have? ”
"Well, I just carefully diagnosed it again, if the guess is good, his illness should be feng shui disease, which is caused by the wind after the illness. It wasn't that serious, but he dragged it like this. As for you, just follow the prescription I wrote, and take it for a month. ”
"A month? So long? Lin Hu was speechless: "Ruyi, is your prescription reliable?" ”
"Why don't you take a look at another doctor?" Xing Ruyi clasped his hands around his chest and raised his eyes to look at Lin Hu: "You can change doctors, but I can say this ugly thing in front." If you change doctors and fail to cure your uncle's illness, you will have to bear the consequences. ”
"This ......" Lin Hu was suddenly embarrassed: "Okay, who called us old people, I have to believe you first." ”
"When you get to the pharmacy, you tell the shopkeeper there that this medicine is enough for fifteen days."
"Only fifteen days?"
"Or do you have fifty days?" Xing Ruyi poked the flavor of ginseng in the prescription: "Although this ordinary ginseng is not sky-high, it can be eaten for fifteen days in a row, and it has to be so long." Do you have enough money in your purse? ”
Lin Hu shook his head quickly, grabbed the prescription and went out.
