Xu Shou came back from the dead, and the next day it spread throughout Lirenfang.

The morning drum had just beaten, and the neighbors on the street had not left the door, but they all came straight to Xu Shou's house to see this strange person who did not die.

"Brother Xu, tell everyone, how did you survive?" The cloth merchant at the head of the shop shouted loudly, his naturally loud voice.

Everyone stared at Xu Shou with their eyes in unison, they all came to incense yesterday. Some people even helped to collect the corpses, which were completely dead at the time, and there was no possibility of life at all, they were quite sure.

But many things are just unexpected, and people are still alive and well.

Now the streets and alleys are talking about this, and the creator of the topic is squatting in the corner blankly at the moment, holding a bowl of noodles in his hand, slowly devouring it, ignoring the words next to him.

"Could it be that you have become stupid?" Someone pondered.

An elderly old man raised his fingers and swore that "Xu Shou must have gone to the underworld, and when he walked the Nai He Bridge, he escaped the ghost mission, and he was fortunate to return with his soul, so he came back to life." But his soul was damaged along the way, and he became like this. ”

When the Xu family, who was standing on the side, heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Old Lin, how should this be?" ”

The old man shook his head and was about to talk nonsense, when suddenly a voice came from behind him: "Storyteller, if you dare to make up nonsense, be careful that we will put you in Jin Wuwei's prison!" ”

The old man hurriedly turned his head, and saw two sergeants dressed in Jinwuwei armor coming over, quickly shrank his head, and arched his hand: "The little one is talking nonsense, and the little one is leaving." ”

Seeing this, the rest of the neighbors present also dispersed, and suddenly the two sergeants were left.

Xu recognized the two of them, and hurriedly said, "The concubine has seen two uncles. ”

An elderly sergeant waved his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm here to see Brother Xu, you go and get busy first." ”

Xu knew that this was to discuss some confidential matters with her husband, so she left and returned to her house with a sense of humor. The two sergeants glanced at each other and walked up to Xu Shou.

"Brother Xu, I'm Ding Sen, do you remember me?" The sergeant said.

Xu Shou raised his head blankly, his eyes swept over the faces of the two sergeants, and then his gaze fell back to the face he was holding in his hand, and he began to bury his head in eating again.

Ding Sen's brows furrowed suddenly: "Brother Xu, it doesn't matter if you can't remember me." Wesley did an investigation into the place where you had an accident, and guess what he found? ”

The sergeant next to him touched him: "When is it, you still haven't changed your problem of selling guanzi." ”

Ding Sen sighed and said, "Brother Xu, the willow tree where you had an accident didn't find any signs of anyone else next to it at that time. Because at the time of your accident, although we were not with you, there happened to be a group of martial artists walking across the street from that alley. If there are any thieves, they will be the first to find out.

So we later went to Shendu Mansion to investigate the owner of the nearby house, only to find out that this person turned out to be the residence of a merchant from the Western Regions. However, this merchant from the Western Regions has not returned to his house for a long time, and the courtyard here is gradually deserted. Later, we went to Sixing Temple again, only to find out that this merchant from the Western Regions was implicated in the Northern Wilderness spies who entered Beijing a few years ago, and died not long after being put into prison. We suspect that this house is now being used by other people who have the intention to use it, and perhaps there are people from the Northern Wilderness interfering in it.

This matter was already clear to the Lord of the Left Street, and we were strictly forbidden to speak out. You are an old man in Weili, and the adults have allowed you to rest at home for three days, and then report back to Weili after three days. Brother Xu, you pay more attention to rest, and if you find anything wrong, you must notify us as soon as possible. ”

Xu Shi boiled two cups of tea and brought them to the two sergeants. Ding Sen picked up the tea and drank it all, and said, "Sister-in-law, has Brother Xu been in this state since he woke up?" ”

Xu sighed: "Not really. When the concubine first found him, he was lying on the ground, very weak, and it was difficult to even stand up. finally recovered, but it became what it is now. But if he can wake up, the concubine body is already thankful. ”

Speaking of this, Xu couldn't help but feel a little sad, and she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. The changes in the past few days have hit a woman like her too hard.

"Mother!" Xu Xin'er ran over and hugged Xu.

Ding Sen touched Xu Xin'er's little head and sighed; "Sister-in-law, it's not easy for you to take care of the children at home alone. Brother Xu is also like this now, if anything happens, you must tell me earlier. ”

"The concubine is a thank you for your husband." Xu Shi gave a blessing.

The two left, and silence returned to the courtyard.

Xu Shi had to prepare tea at noon and go to the teahouse to sell it. The tea leaves that are just picked out in the morning are sent to the market in the workshop at noon. Make tea sounds, and the profit is very low. But at the moment, the weather is hot, and passers-by want to beg for a bowl of tea, so there is a way to do business.

Xu couldn't go to the tea stall today, she wanted to take Xu Shou to see Langzhong.

In the medical hall in the workshop, Lang Zhong had long expected that Xu Shou would come over, and when he saw Xu Shou coming, he hurried to catch up.

"Here, let me take a closer look!" Before Xu could speak, Lang Zhong had already asked Xu Shou to sit down and give him a pulse.

That Lang Zhong frowned, his eyes were closed, as if he was thinking about something, and after a full time of incense, Lang Zhong opened his eyes and said in surprise: "Strange things, strange things." The old man has been practicing medicine for many years, but he has never seen such a strange pulse. ”

Xu Shi was startled, and hurriedly said, "But what's the important problem?" ”

Lang Zhong hurriedly smiled and said, "Lady of the Xu family, don't panic." I'm just saying it's strange, this Xu Shou's heart is more calm and powerful than ordinary people. This is strange, to say that your husband is also a martial artist, but this is not a use of force, this heart is inevitably a little too fast. ”

"The concubine doesn't understand, and I hope Mr. will make it clear."

"Your family Langjun is not a big deal, but you must not let him be angry on weekdays. As for his sanity, he should have been frightened after staying in the coffin for a long time, and he would be fine after a while. Wait for me to prescribe a few prescriptions to calm the mind and stabilize the pulse, and let him go back and rest for a few days, and he will be fine. Lang Zhong said.

Xu thanked him for his kindness, took Xu Shou out of the hospital, and put him back at home.

At the end of the alley where they were, there was a butcher's shop.

The butcher shop is a butcher, and they are all neighbors, so they are naturally familiar with each other. Xu stopped in front of the butcher shop, gritted his teeth and said, "Cut me a pound of pork ribs!" ”

The butcher glanced at Xu Shou, who was supported by the Xu family, and naturally understood what was going on. I picked a pound of bones and meat and wrapped it in a lotus leaf, picked a piece of chicken and put it in, and said with a smile: "This is what I sent, to make up for Brother Xu's body." ”

Xu thanked him and hurriedly rushed home with the meat.

From this alley, you can see exactly where they are.

Xu put the meat in the kitchen and asked Xin'er to take care of her father, and then hurriedly packed up the tea and rushed to the market.

For people like them, their income is actually very thin. A few days ago, I said that I received a lot of bereavement benefits because of Xu Shou's death, although I don't have to pay them back, but the favors I owe still have to be repaid, and I still need a lot of silver taels.

Xu used to sell tea in the bazaar, and was introduced to marry Xu Shou, the head of Jinwuwei's gang, but she only stayed at home when Xin'er was young, and most of the rest of the time she sold tea outside for a living.

Back then, when the world was still under the control of Qingguo, there were many rules, and women were not allowed to show their heads.

It's just that with the rebellion of the pre-Qin Dynasty and the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the end, the world is already a martial arts and a declining culture. Many rules have long been broken, and girls everywhere on the street dress themselves up in a fancy way. As long as it's not too much of a dress, everyone will only look at it with appreciative eyes.

This was unimaginable back then.

Xu carried a basket of new tea on his back and rushed to his shop. There is a spice mill in the back, and it is easier to fetch water because there is a well in front of the door.

Xu boiled the water and brewed a pot of tea, and suddenly the thick fragrance of tea was wanton.

After doing all this, Xu Shi breathed a long sigh of relief, and his heart relaxed a little. As long as the husband is still around, the pillars of the family will still exist.

Xu suddenly noticed that there was a dark shadow in front of her, and she couldn't help but raise her head.

"Lady of the Xu family, I've been looking forward to it, you're finally here."

A sinister smile came, and with a strange face, a man stood in front of Xu and said with a strange smile.

Xu's heart was beating wildly, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back.

This is a well-known pimp in the bazaar, who once came to harass the Xu family, but was later taught a lesson by Xu Shou.

This time, Xu could clearly see the unscrupulousness in his skinny eyes.

……

Xu family.

When Xu Shou returned home, he squatted in the corner in a daze. His daughter Xu Xin'er is still young, but she is very sensible, and she has been holding the corner of her father's clothes and refusing to let go.

After a cup of tea, Xu Shou suddenly said, "Xin'er, you go back to the house first." ”

"No, my mother asked me to watch my father!" Xu Xin'er shook her head, her horns dangling.

Xu Shou said: "Obedient, Daddy is at home, and he won't go out." ”

Xu Xin'er hesitated, but obediently returned to her room.

When Xu Xin'er returned to her room, Xu Shou suddenly stood up, and a strange light appeared in her eyes.

He quietly walked to the kitchen, took out the piece of meat, opened the lotus leaf, and the blood in it suddenly flowed out.

In the bottom of his heart, there was a trace of longing.

Once this desire arises, it never lingers.

He took out the piece of chicken from the lotus leaf, and the wings and legs of the chicken had been dragged off, and the head had been removed, except for a chicken rack.

This is raw meat.

There was blood on it.

Xu Shou took the chicken to the main hall and swallowed.

The smell of blood fills the tip of the nose, but for Xu Shou, it is full of aroma.

He picked it up with a trembling hand and bit it down, and blood immediately flowed out.

The blood stimulated his taste buds, and his eyes suddenly turned scarlet.

Xu Shou used to believe in Buddhism, often ate fasting, and although he was not opposed to eating meat, he rarely ate it.

But at this moment, he was like a glutton, gobbling it up, the corners of his mouth were full of blood, and every trace of blood on the lotus leaf was sucked into his mouth.

He opened his eyes suddenly, his pupils contracted, and then he took a deep breath, revealing a hint of ruddy on his face.
