Chapter 130: Conflict
On the central street of Wucai Town, there are two large groups of people gathered, men, women and children, facing each other from afar, everyone is indignant, full of righteous indignation, insulting all kinds of ugly words with local accents, looking at it from afar, crowded, only afraid that there are no less than two hundred people, even all the residents of the whole town have come.
On the left is the Zhou family's procession, led by an elderly man with a hunched back. The old man was almost old, his hair was sparse and snow-white, he had no beard, his face was covered with age spots and wrinkles like tree bark, his eyes were deep-set, his face was sallow, he was on crutches, and beside him was a feminine-looking young woman with a beautiful mole under her left eye.
On the right, there is the team of the Bai family, headed by the patriarch Bai Xu, and the Hua brothers and sisters are standing on his side during the day, one left and one right, and there are nearly 100 people behind him, Li Changjing and Lu Li are also among them.
At this moment, in the middle of the two lineups, a stretcher was parked, and there was a dead man lying on the stretcher, who looked similar to Bai Xu, also in his fifties, his hair was already a little gray, but he was very thin and short, lying on the stretcher like a child.
"Brother Li, I heard from the Bai family that the dead man on the stretcher is the patriarch of the Zhou family, named Zhou Shixuan, fifty-two years old."
In the crowd, Li Changjing and Lu Li gathered together and whispered.
"Then it seems that the old man headed by the Zhou family is Zhou Shixuan's father, Zhou Shitian." Li Changjing said thoughtfully: "It turned out that the patriarch died, no wonder the Zhou family was so enthusiastic and shouted out everyone, looking like they were going to die to the end." ”
Lu Li said worriedly: "I hope things can be resolved peacefully, there are so many old people, women and children here, once there is a conflict...... I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties. ”
Li Changjing nodded, the two of them are outsiders, they don't know much about the grievances of the Bai family this week, although they are barely the guests of the Bai family, but at the same time they have no grudges with the Zhou family, once the fight starts, can they really do it to the Zhou family?
"Bai Xu, you are so vicious! Relying on his relatively high strength, he actually killed my father! ”
A twenty-six or seventeen-year-old young man came out of the Zhou family, not tall, but with a very stocky figure, a Chinese face, dark skin, I don't know if he was born or sunburned, his expression was sad and angry, pointing at Bai Xu and scolding, asking him to pay for his life.
Bai Xu sneered, and didn't answer, there was a faint sneer on his sallow face, but he just gave Bai Baihua a look, Bai Baihua immediately understood, walked out from behind, came to the man with the Chinese face, and said coldly: "Zhou Yuan, you don't spray people here with blood!" On the twenty-ninth day of your father's new year, he came to my father to spread wildness, my father just exchanged injuries with him, and he was still fine when he went back, why did he die in just a few days? ”
Zhou Yuan said angrily: "My father has always been in good health, no illness and no pain, it must be that your Bai family has made some tricks to kill him!" Now that people are lying here, am I still lying!? ”
Bai Yueling also stood up at this time, clasped her hands, and sneered: "If you want me to say, your father deserves to die!" You must know that your fists and feet have no eyes, if it weren't for your father who improved his strength and came to my house to show off his might, would he have ended up like this? ”
That Zhou Yuan was a little jealous of Bai Yueling for some reason, knowing that Yueling's words were very ugly, he didn't refute, just snorted lightly and turned his face away.
The old man of the Zhou family coughed, and the young woman who supported him walked out understandingly, and said to Bai Yueling: "We gathered everyone this time, not to quarrel, but to solve the problem. My father's death is already a fact, and he has never gone out since he returned home except for being injured by the Bai patriarch, and his diet has always been normal, so his death must be related to the Bai patriarch, otherwise it can't be explained. ”
"Even if you Zhou Min is reasonable, it can only prove that my father is suspicious, and you want to ask the teacher indiscriminately, isn't it a bit too domineering? Is it really easy for me to bully the Bai family! ”
The soft woman known as Zhou Min was stopped by Bai Yueling for a while, she frowned, and glanced at Bai Tianhua without a trace, Bai Baihua's body stiffened, hesitated for a while, and then walked up and said to Bai Yueling in a low voice: "Little sister, why don't we take a step back alone, if we really want to conflict, it will not be beneficial to both sides, and seeking a neutralization method is the most important thing." ”
Bai Yueling has always listened to her brother's words, after thinking about it, her face finally softened a little, and said to that Zhou Min: "Forget it, the death of Patriarch Zhou is not something we want to see." In this way, you let us find out the cause of Patriarch Zhou's death, if it really died at the hands of my father, I will definitely give you a reasonable explanation at that time, how about it? ”
Zhou Min thought about it and couldn't make up his mind, so he looked back at the old man on crutches, and the old man coughed and said a word in a hoarse voice: "Yes." ”
Bai Yueling also looked back at Bai Xu and asked, "Dad, what do you think?" ”
Bai Xu hummed and nodded slightly, indicating that there was no problem.
Bai Yueling breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and shouted, "Brother Li, Lu Li!" ”
Lu Li poked his head out of the crowd and pointed at himself, "You called us?" ”
Bai Yueling nodded immediately.
"Let's go, maybe let's go and check the cause of the death of that Zhou patriarch." Li Changjing did not hesitate, walked out of the crowd, and walked towards the stretcher, and Lu Li had no choice but to follow.
"Why do you call Brother Li the eldest brother, and call me the name?" Lu Li walked to Bai Yueling's side, looking unhappy.
"He's him, you're you, can you compare?" Bai Yueling snorted proudly and whispered, "If you are like him and save me twice regardless of your life, then I will definitely call you big brother." ”
Lu Li shook his head, didn't care about this, and squatted down with Li Changjing to check the dead man on the stretcher.
"Bai Yueling, what do you mean, let the two hairy children identify the cause of death of our patriarch, is it to bully our Zhou family for not having a doctor?" Someone from the Zhou family shouted dissatisfied.
"That's it, these two juniors are just in their early twenties, where did they get their experience at such a young age?" Immediately someone began to chim.
"Even the doctors of our Zhou family can't find out the reason, what can these two children do?"
The noisy questioning voice made Bai Yueling very angry, her apricot eyes widened, and she said arrogantly: "Shut up for me!" These two are alchemists, alchemists who can even refine second-order pills! Who do you look down upon? ”
"What, alchemist? Such a young alchemist, is it really fake? ”
"The alchemist is said to be able to refine the elixir of immortality, is there such a thing?"
"I really can't see it, the one who grows a little taller gives people a very unfathomable feeling, and the white-haired boy with his hair in a bun is full of books...... At first glance, it comes out of a large family, but it has an elegant temperament and indifferent demeanor, giving people a very reliable feeling...... It's really unseemly. ”
Words like these are disturbing and irritating.
Li Changjing and Lu Li had no choice but to eat a Tongtianxiao each, stabilize their minds, and then began to carefully examine the dead man on the stretcher in full view of everyone.
I saw this patriarch of Zhou, his whole body was red, as if he had been scalded by boiling water; The face is sallow, the face is haggard, it looks like it has just recovered from a serious illness, and at the same time, it is bleeding from all seven orifices, and the whole body has a virtual sense of expansion, which gives people a very strange feeling.
Li Changjing and Lu Li examined carefully, opened the eyelids of the deceased from time to time to see, and sniffed a little blood flowing from the seven orifices from time to time, and after seven or eight minutes, the two looked at each other, and they had a plan in their hearts.
"Everyone, the cause of Patriarch Zhou's death has been investigated." Li Changjing stood up, his face was calm, and he said word by word: "He died at the hands of others." ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
Among them, Zhou Yuan, who was stout, was especially excited, his face was distorted, his eyes were hateful, and he roared, "Bai Xu, sure enough, you killed my father, hurry up and take my life!" He pounced on Bai Yueling and her father.
