Chapter 1: Sleepiness
In the early morning, a soft ray of light passed through the pear blossom wood window and quietly penetrated into a delicate and elegant women's boudoir.
Outside the room, three maids dressed in light green clothes stood by the door very respectfully, as if waiting for the summons of the people in the room.
Looking closely, the three of them were communicating silently with their eyes at the moment, with a faint look of anxiety on their faces.
At the same time, another green-clothed girl came from afar.
When she walked outside the room, she saw that the three of them were still guarding outside, and her face couldn't help but show a little surprise: "The county lord hasn't gotten up yet?" ”
Seeing the visitor, the three of them were all relieved, and one of them said:
"Sister Rushi, you are here. The county lord is about to enter the palace to thank him. But now, it's going to be the second quarter of the first month! ”
As the poem said, the good-looking willow eyebrows frowned slightly: "The county lord has always been punctual and courteous, and it shouldn't be like this." ”
As she spoke, she glanced at the three of them. Seeing this, the three of them took a step back.
Rushi stepped forward and gently buckled the door, and said softly: "County Lord, have you gotten up?" ”
There was no movement in the room.
Rushi glanced at the three people behind her, and then whispered softly to the door: "County master, the slaves and maids have come in." ”
Then, she gently pushed the door open.
The four of them entered the house lightly, and the three of them waited at the curtain, and only Rushi entered the room.
Standing beside the bed, Rushi whispered through the curtain: "County Lord, are you awake?" ”
Seeing that there was not the slightest movement on the bed, Rushi was keenly aware of something unusual.
Hanging up the curtain with gentle and skillful movements, looking at the woman with her eyes closed and ruddy face on the bed, Rushi slowly approached, and once again called softly:
"County Lord, it's not too early, you should get up."
Seeing that the person on the bed was still sleeping sweetly, he said like a poem: "County Lord, please forgive the slave and maid for being rude." ”
Immediately, she reached out and gently shook the woman on the bed.
Seeing that the woman still didn't have the slightest reaction, Rushi couldn't help but increase the strength in her hand.
The woman's unconscious appearance made Rushi's heart chuckle, and she couldn't help but tremble her fingers to poke into the woman's nose.
The sound of gentle breathing made Rushi breathe a sigh of relief.
Then she got up and walked out of the inner room, and said to the three of them with a solemn face: "Take good care of the county lord." ”
Then, without much explanation, he hurriedly left the house.
The three of them looked at each other, and suddenly felt a pang in their hearts. Although they did not know what had happened, they also knew the gravity of the situation.
After a while, a rush and panicked footsteps came from far and near.
The three green-clothed maids in the room glanced at each other, and then one of them went to the door to check the situation.
The girl walked around the door, raised her eyes to look at the source of the sound, and saw a large group of people hurrying around the verandah and coming here.
Among them, the leader is a middle-aged couple dressed in gorgeous clothes. At this moment, both of them had obvious uneasiness and worry on their faces......
In March of the sixteenth year of Qinghe, the county lord of Jiahe suddenly fell asleep, and the group of doctors was helpless.
The Holy Majesty immediately issued a decree today:
Anyone who can revive the lord of Jiahe County will be given thousands of acres of fertile land and ten thousand taels of gold!
Money talks!
Since then, many doctors have been ready to do this!
......
Xiaoxiao Mountain Road is poor in autumn rain, and the wind on the bank of the river is Pu.
Lin'an County, a very remote county seat in Daye, has been rainy for more than a month.
In the past seven days, Lin'an County has been raining continuously.
Many of the people were begging the dragon king to harvest the rain quickly. Otherwise, their rice harvest this time will not be good.
They are already living a tight life, if the harvest is worse, how can they survive!
In the anticipation of the people day and night, Lin'an County finally ushered in the first sunny day in more than a month.
Heavy rains have caused the road to be covered with puddles. If pedestrians are not careful, they are very likely to get wet on their shoes and the corners of their clothes.
Some dirt roads are even more difficult, and the wet mud stains the upper is good, but I am afraid that the sole of the shoe will sink into the mud and it will be difficult to pull it out.
"Ahh Dead man! Dead man! Li Tiezhu's family is dead......"
In the early morning, in Lijia Village, the backyard of a family, a panicked scream suddenly sounded.
Nearby villagers heard the noise and poked their heads out of their houses.
I saw a fat young woman, covered in mud in many places, stumbling out of the backyard of a house.
"Li Sijia, what's going on? Where are the dead? Who's dead? ”
"Li Si's family, this early in the morning, why did you come out of Tiezhu's house?"
"Li Sijia, what did you see?"
......
The villagers who heard the sound surrounded the woman and asked questions.
"I see...... See...... Li Tiezhu's family...... Under the jujube tree...... Bury a ...... A dead man......"
The woman's face was pale and trembling, and it took a long time for her to utter a complete sentence.
"Li Sijia, do you really see it clearly? This dead man is a big deal! ”
One of the strong men looked at the woman very seriously.
The woman shook her head repeatedly: "No...... Make no mistake...... I...... I still touch...... Ran into ...... That one...... The ...... of the Dead Finger ......"
Recalling the cold touch at that time, the woman instantly shivered even more.
"Li Si's family, you take us to the place where the dead man was found. Big bull, you guys, hurry up and inform the village chief! ”
The young man who looked like a scholar stepped forward and supported the woman, telling everyone to quickly go their separate ways.
The woman's face was hesitant, but seeing that everyone was waiting for her to lead the way, she could only grit her teeth and respond......
"That's it...... It's ...... There...... "The woman led the people to the date tree, and pointed to a place tremblingly, not daring to glance there.
"Oops! What are you yelling about early in the morning! ”
At this time, a thin middle-aged woman walked out of the house. I saw that there were many obvious wrinkles on her face. At this moment, his eyebrows are upside down, and he looks snarky, which is not a good match at first glance.
One of the people in the crowd shouted at her: "Iron pillar damn, do you know that there are dead people in your house?" ”
If you listen carefully, you can hear a hint of schadenfreude in it.
When Tie Zhu heard this, his face became even more ugly, and he glared at the man who spoke fiercely:
"What nonsense! How can there be dead people in my house! Talk nonsense again, be careful that the old lady pulls out your tongue! ”
The man was not angry, and kindly pointed to a small hand exposed in the mud: "I'm really not talking nonsense, I don't believe you see for yourself!" ”
Tiezhu snorted coldly, and then looked under the jujube tree.
But the distance was too far for her to see. I couldn't help but get a little closer to the jujube tree......
After seeing that it was indeed a human hand, Tie Zhu's mother was so frightened that she sat on the ground, and she didn't care about the mud splashing all over her body, and immediately beat her chest and began to howl:
"Oh my God! What kind of thing is this lack of morality! What are you doing burying a dead man in my backyard! ”
