Chapter 8 Jade Pipe

I asked, "What was the situation?" Didn't the madman just give a small toy to Xiao Yuan, as for causing death? What else do you Abba say endangers the safety of the whole town, this is too alarmist, it's just a toy gun, and you're a mother, just stand by and watch, why stop me, in the end, this matter is all because of Xiao Yuan, and people are also kind. I poured my stomach full of resentment on Haruka.

The moonlight that came in through the crack in the door sprinkled on her, she lowered her head without saying a word, and I could see from her slightly trembling body that her heart was also very entangled, but the more I spoke, the more excited I became, and I continued uncontrollably: "Also, killing people kills people, why use such cruel means, use criminal law so indiscriminately, and still have heavenly principles, and there is still royal law?" ”

Chunxiang raised her head, her eyes were full of tears, and she said word by word: "Here, my Abba is Wang Fa." ”

Just this sentence, I was speechless, yes, judging from Lei Yuhao's sentence to the madman, no one raised any objections, Lei Yuhao does hold the power of life and death of the whole town, in Longchang, he is Tianli, he is Wang Fa, what can I do?

I sat down on the stool like a deflated ball, my mind back and forth with Qi Lianzhu's firm gaze and a cloud of scarlet blood mist, and I asked weakly: "What do you mean when you just said that those who should come will always come?" ”

Chunxiang wiped her tears, took out a small jade tube from her arms and put it on the table, stood up and got up and went out without saying a word, I picked up the small jade tube, and looked carefully at the moonlight, this jade tube has the thickness of a finger, slightly longer than the thumb, and it is engraved with dense patterns, and there are many red things in the gaps of the patterns, and I sniffed it carefully with my nose, it seems to be something similar to ink, and there is a red silk rope hanging on the jade tube, which seems to be usually hung around the neck.

What is this thing? Judging from the jade quality and complex workmanship, it doesn't look like an ordinary thing, what does Haruka mean by suddenly giving me this? And what does it have to do with what should come and what comes?

I held the things in my hands, and I went out of the main hall for some reason, and returned to the bedroom, Chunxiang turned her back to me, and I didn't know if I really fell asleep, I lay down quietly, put the jade tube under the pillow, and slowly fell asleep, feeling that I had only slept for a while, and I heard the sound of washing and cooking outside.

I closed my eyes and didn't want to open them, I lay on the bed until the door rang, I didn't get up lazily, after washing, I was about to go out, I suddenly remembered the jade tube under the pillow, hesitated, or the ghost sent to take it out, put it in my arms, and opened the store.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the store in the morning, and Chunxiang was busy in the back kitchen, I took out the jade tube, put it in front of me and continued to look at it, and saw the red ink on it, I dipped it in ink on a whim, and casually found a piece of waste paper, and rolled it gently on the back.

Maybe there was too much ink dipped in it, the paper was pitch black, I couldn't see anything clearly, I could only barely make out a few patterns, I was amused by my own childish behavior, shook my head, wiped it clean with paper, put it in my arms, and continued to drink tea and look out the door in a daze.

At this time, Brother Cui, who was facing the door, was like a whirlwind, and turned in unconsciously, as soon as he entered the door, he made a shushing gesture at me, and then picked up the tea bowl on my table, and then took out a piece of tobacco and a piece of white paper from his arms, and said with a bitter face: "You said that your lotus sister-in-law, just that small shop, all day long, wipe around, sweep and sweep, and always think I'm dirty, do you say that the house is spotless, or a place to live?" Huh? ”

I kept smiling and listening absentmindedly, but he suddenly picked up my black paper, I glanced at the paper in his hand, and for a moment my heart rose to my throat, only to see that the back of the paper had been soaked through, and there was a clear pattern composed of countless small patterns, which seemed to be a word, and before I could see it clearly, he put the paper on the table and continued to complain.

At this time, Chunxiang came out of the back kitchen, saw Brother Cui, and shouted cordially: "Yo, Brother Cui is here, sit down, I'll make tea." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the unique high voice of the lotus outside the door shouting: "Yo, hide here"

Brother Da Cui was immediately a spirit, and the lotus came in, smiled at me and Chunxiang, and pinched Brother Da Cui's arm fiercely and said, "Tell me about you, smoke and smoke, get cigarette ash everywhere, go, go back and clean it up for me!" ”

Brother Cui looked at the two of us with a stiff neck, Lotus hurriedly smiled awkwardly at the two of us, the two of them went out one after the other, I looked at Chunxiang, the two of them also shook their heads helplessly, she went back to her back kitchen and continued to be busy, I waited for her to go in, hurriedly flipped the paper over, and stared carefully at the figure on it, it turned out to be a seal body thunder character with runes painted next to it.

Is this Lei Yuhao's thing? Why did Haruka bring this to me? Could it be that you just want me to identify it? But what is there to distinguish this? I hurriedly took out the jade tube from my arms, held it in my hand and walked into the back kitchen, Chunxiang was washing things by the pool, I stood behind her and coughed gently, she didn't hear me come in at all, suddenly her shoulders trembled, slowly turned around, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"This is Abba's thing, what do you bring it to me, send it back to him quickly." ”

Chunxiang was stunned for a long time, stared at my face for a long time, and then sighed silently and said, "You take it first, Abba won't need it for the time being, and I'll talk about it when I go home in the evening." ”

I saw that her expression was very depressed, and I couldn't say anything, so I had to put things into my arms again, turned around and walked out of the back kitchen, at this time there were already diners coming to the door one after another, and the restaurant was the busiest time of the day, two people greeted inside and out, and after a while, Fugui walked in with a stack of papers, and I greeted: "Fugui, what's wrong?" What's the matter? ”

Fugui smiled and said, "It's not a big aunt, it's just that the notice is posted here, and I want to eat a bowl of beef noodles." ”

"Hey, sit down, sit down, wait, I'll be there soon." ”

Fugui found an unobstructed corner and sat down, I went to the back kitchen to talk to Chunxiang, she nodded, filled a bowl with a king-size bowl, and filled a large plate of cold salad and asked me to bring it out to him, Fugui looked at it, smiled, lowered his head and ate it, I saw that he ate fragrantly, and poured him a bowl of soju, and the touched Fugui thanked him repeatedly.

Taking advantage of his meal, I took out a so-called notice of his, which read: "Qi Xuanzhu, a resident of this town, died at the third watch of midnight in Stone Street in the south of the city due to an old illness late yesterday night. ”

Liar, a complete liar, I obviously saw that Qi Xuanzhu's head was smashed by the oil hammer, and the blood mist was still lingering in front of me, how can it be said that it is a disease? You Lei Yuhao can kill people casually, why bother to make up all kinds of lies to fool the villagers?

My hand holding the notice was trembling, and Fugui suddenly raised his head and asked in a cold tone that he had never seen before, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" ”

"He's fine, I drank a few more drinks last night, plus I got up early today, I'm tired" Chunxiang stood behind me at some point, took the notice from my hand, looked at it carefully and asked, "Hey, could this Qi Xuanzhu be that crazy man?" ”

Fugui quickly changed his face, sighed and said: "Isn't it him, this morning the street sweeper suddenly found that he died on the north side of Stone Street, at the door of Zhang Ji's bakery. "His eyes were fixed on me as he said this.

Chunxiang secretly pushed me, I nodded, and said: "Uh, yes, this person, he can't eat enough every day, he can't dress warmly, it's strange if he doesn't get sick, and besides, just like him, I'm afraid I don't know if I'm sick, and death is inevitable." As soon as I finished speaking, someone in front of me shouted to settle the bill, and I hurriedly ran away.

Until the departure of wealth, my heart has never been calm, a sense of oppression living under majesty, I am breathless all the time, but what can I do? In any case, if a person is dead, can he leave here because of this? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head.

In the afternoon, Sister Mei suddenly came, saying that Mr. Li planned to invite all of us to dinner here tonight, saying that it had been a long time since she had seen her and wanted to get together.

Chunxiang smiled and agreed, and when Sister Mei left, I asked Chunxiang with some dissatisfaction: "Why does he want to be here with us?" Isn't this a blatant bargain? ”

Chunxiang said with a smile: "Sister Mei is famous for not being able to cook, and besides, there are only two restaurants in the town, you don't eat at your own house or go to other people's houses to eat?" Looking back, how ugly it sounds to say, people are also thinking about us. ”

After thinking about it, it seemed to be the same reason, so I didn't say anything, and in the evening, Mr. Li and Sister Mei led Xiao Yuan to the store together, and by the way, they also called Brother Cui and Sister Lotus, three women were busy in the back kitchen, and a few of us men were in the hall, drinking tea and chatting, chatting and chatting around to the death of the madman, Mr. Li opened his head, I didn't dare to pick it up, Brother Cui opened his mouth and said: "Hey, that man, crazy every day, I told Lotus at the time, sooner or later I will go to find Lord Yama to fork the sparrow, fulfilled it?" ”

I said this I had a faint pain in my heart, but I didn't know where the pain was, and when the dishes were served, a group of people sat down, everyone poured wine, and there were only a few of us left in the store at this time.

After three rounds of drinking, Sister Mei said that she was not feeling well and wanted to go back to rest first, Chunxiang hurriedly got up, took a small lantern, and sent her back to the school, but Mr. Li walked to the big cabinet with great interest, took a pen and ink, found a piece of paper casually, wrote a few lines of words with a brush, and stood at the table and said: "Little brother has recently got a few good sentences, read them to everyone."

Men have ambitions, fight on the battlefield, kill all the widows, protect their hometown, the Qi family is mighty, they are all loyal and good, invincible, and shocking all directions. What does everyone sound like? ”

When I heard this, my heart jumped, and I hurriedly picked up the wine bowl to cover my face, pretending to be nothing, although the wine in the wine bowl kept shaking.

Brother Cui said: "You don't seem to have finished writing."

"Yes, but the sense of words has broken again, what?" Brother Cui, will you renew? ”

Lotus patted Brother Cui on the side and said with a smile: "My family, smoking and drinking to make a little money has him, and he is against poetry?" Don't have fun. ”

Brother Cui also smiled embarrassedly, waved his hand vigorously, and said, "Can't come, can't come."

Mr. Li smiled and said, "How about you listen to me?" Now I am making a mistake again, the wolf smoke is rising, I am Chinese, and the wind is thundering. What do you think? ”

The bowl in my hand suddenly fell on the table, and these words seemed to have something from the past in them, but I couldn't grasp which one.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, silent for a moment, Lotus hurriedly smiled and pulled up the second master, and said as he walked: "We drank too much, drank too much, you drink, you drink, we will invite you again." ”

I hurriedly sent him out, Mr. Li sat at the table alone, motionless, and when he arrived outside the door, Brother Cui suddenly whispered to me: "Brother, brother has been having nightmares these days, what do you say?" ”

The lotus lightly slapped him and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang is neither Langzhong nor a fortune teller, can he still interpret dreams?" ”

Brother Cui smiled and waved goodbye.
