Chapter 19: The Line Between Life and Death
The next day, Lao Li got up early to feed the horses and pack up the carriage. After cleaning up, I went to the hall to ask for a bowl of hot tea, and waited for the two young ladies while eating breakfast. When it was dawn, no one came downstairs. Lao Li was afraid that he would delay the time to hurry, so he asked Xiao Er to go upstairs to call. Not long after Xiao Er went upstairs, there was a terrible cry, "Ah-"
The shopkeeper and Lao Li hurriedly went upstairs, walked to the door and took a look, and were also stunned. In the room, a woman fell to the ground covered in blood, not knowing whether she was dead or alive. The shopkeeper shouted at the shopkeeper in a panic: "Out, out of someone's life, out of ...... life"
The shopkeeper stepped forward and covered the mouth of the shopkeeper: "What is it called, do you want to wake up all the guests?
Lao Li trembled and stepped forward to check the situation of the woman on the ground. I found that it was one of the two people who took the car yesterday, and he was seriously injured and his breathing was very weak: "Shopkeeper, please ask a doctor, I'm afraid it's too late to ......"
The shopkeeper walked around the room for a week, did not find any baggage, groaned slightly, and said to Lao Li: "This is one of the two women who took the car yesterday?"
Lao Li nodded and said, "It's the older sister of the two sisters." ”
The shopkeeper walked up to Zhao Qin and squatted down, patting Zhao Qin's face, "Girl, girl, can you hear me?"
Zhao Qin groaned and opened his eyes slightly.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?" asked the shopkeeper, "who hurt you?"
"I, save me......" Zhao Qin forced himself to say a sentence, and then fainted again.
The shopkeeper stood up and said to Lao Li: "Look, my sister is seriously injured, but my sister is nowhere to be seen, and the baggage and luggage carried by the two are also missing, what does this mean?"
"Say, what does it mean?" asked the shopkeeper with a shudder.
The shopkeeper looked at the shopkeeper, then at Lao Li, and said, "It means that my sister is murdering for money!"
"No, I see that the two sisters have a good relationship. Lao Li said.
"Is the relationship good, can you see it on the surface?" said the shopkeeper, "Or, what do you say is going on in the current situation?"
"Oh, shopkeeper!" Lao Li said: "Don't talk about this yet, it's important to save people, let's invite a doctor!"
"Doctor?" The shopkeeper said, "What do you say when the doctor comes?" Say that this woman was killed by gangsters? Do I still want to do my business if I spread the word? Also, who will pay for the doctor? If you ask the doctor to prescribe a prescription, you must buy medicine and take medicine, and who will pay for this money?
"Then, what should I do?" Lao Li said: "You can't just let people lie on the ground and wait for her to die, right?"
"So then," said the treasurer, "carry this woman into the chariot and return her from whence to whence she came, and do not remain in my shop." ”
"What?" Lao Li was shocked, and waved his hand again and again: "This can't work, shopkeeper, move to the car, what should I do?"
"I don't care what you do, and the people you bring will naturally be at your disposal. The shopkeeper greeted the shopkeeper and said, "Come, let's move to the carriage first." After speaking, he and the shopkeeper lifted Zhao Qin and walked out. Lao Li followed step by step, anxious and helpless. Seeing that the person was carried to the car, there was still no reaction at all. I was very frightened, and said worriedly: "Shopkeeper, I, what should I do, if the person dies, I ......"
The shopkeeper waved his hand again and again: "Hurry up, hurry up, I won't accept your house money, I'll treat you as if you've never come." The shopkeeper also urged Lao Li to go on the road.
Lao Li had no choice but to drive the carriage out of the post station, walked for a while with his head covered, and when he saw the fork in the road in front of him, he didn't know which direction to go, so he stopped. What should I do? Where is this person going? Lao Li sighed, got out of the car, and went to the carriage to see Zhao Qin's situation. found that Zhao Qin's face was as dead as ashes, as if he had no breath. Lao Li trembled and stretched his fingers under Zhao Qin's nose to probe his nose. "Ah-" Lao Li retracted his hand, "It seems that he is out of breath!What should I do?" Lao Li panicked, thinking to himself, this person could not stay in the car anymore, in case he was seen, he would not be able to tell. Lao Li dragged Zhao Qin off the carriage, carried her back to the depths of the grass, and pulled some dead grass to cover her.
Lao Li touched the sweat on his face, clasped his hands together, and kept reading in his mouth, "Girl, my Lao Li can't help it, if you turn into a ghost, go find the sister who harmed you, don't come to me...... Amitabha, Amitabha......"
