Chapter 39: The Hunting of Gods
After all, the god catcher didn't open his mouth to tell his story, after that sentence came out, the god of catching seemed to turn into a sculpture, he was speechless for a long time, his eyes were full of pain and unwillingness, and there were even some tears flashing in the corners of his eyes, and his lips were tightly pursed. Silent, but with a thousand words.
Looking at this appearance of the god catcher, Lin Ruofan's heart was a little uncomfortable, what kind of pain did this man in his forties experience? Causing him to look like this?
One was depressed, the other was confused, but for a while there was nothing to say, so he squatted on the stone steps and basked in the sun.
"Okay, Lord Liu, it's not too early, let's go in, I'll get a tan if I stay any longer."
After a long time, Lin Ruofan grinned, pulled out a smile, stood up, and pushed the god catcher into his own room, while Lin Ruofan walked out of the door with staggering steps.
Jingshi, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, in the center of the Great Sage Ming Dynasty, countless people have sharpened their heads and squeezed here, resulting in soaring land prices here, which can be described as an inch of land.
With the palace as the center, radiating outward, the closest to the palace is the residence of a group of descendants who fought the world with Taizu back then, and then the outside is the court officials, and a little outside are those rich businessmen and outsiders, and the most outside are those low-level people in the capital, who set up stalls on the street to make a living.
God Hunter, as the number one person in the Six Doors, if it weren't for those head-catching instructions, Lin Ruofan really didn't believe that the home of a dignified God Catcher was in this deep and secluded alley!
The age of this alley is very old, and you can tell from the thick moss on those mottled alleys. Lin Ruofan stood at the end of the alley, his face a little embarrassed.
I just patronized and looked for the way, and forgot to buy some things, so I came to the door empty-handed, what if I was misunderstood?
"This little brother...... You're here to ask for an account, right? Didn't you pay it back last month? Why is it here again? ”
Suddenly, a female voice suddenly sounded behind Lin Ruofan, with tiredness in her dignified words, as if the owner of this voice had not had a good rest for a long time.
Turning around, a woman in her thirties came into view.
This woman said that she was thirty years old, but Lin Ruofan guessed it based on her voice, if she hadn't heard this voice, Lin Ruofan would definitely think that this woman was forty years old!
His hair had begun to turn gray, and he was only tied with a simple wooden hairpin, and his originally delicate face was now full of tiredness, his eye sockets were a little sunken, and a simple cloth shirt had a few patches on it, and he was white. He carried a basket with only a few bundles of yellowed vegetables in it. And beside this woman, a seven or eight-year-old girl shrank timidly behind the woman, poked out a little head and looked at Lin Ruofan vigilantly, her hair was yellow, her face was also a little vegetable, her small clothes were the same as this woman, her big eyes were vigilant, and she was also a little resentful.
"This lady has misunderstood, and she is not here to collect the debt...... Under is ...... The imperial court specially sent to condolence Lord Liucheng, Lord Liucheng made great contributions to Mount Tai and his party this time, and the emperor was very happy, so he sent down to see Lord Liu. ”
Lin Ruofan opened his mouth, his face was a little red, the little girl's eyes made him uncomfortable, and he had a sense of crime, and finally held back such a sentence.
"It turned out to be an adult! Hurry, please, please...... Just excuse me......"
As soon as this woman heard Lin Ruofan's words, her tired face suddenly glowed, and her eyes, which were originally a little dim, instantly brightened, and she hurriedly introduced Lin Ruofan into the door.
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Ruofan's brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of puzzlement flashed in his eyes.
The room was small and cramped, with peeling paint on the walls, revealing the old masonry inside, and the beams and pillars that supported the room had lost their paint and looked mottled. Moreover, this room is in the depths of the alley, and the sunlight is blocked by the tall doors in the distance, so it cannot penetrate at all, and the whole room is very humid.
This is a dilapidated house!
I don't know why, looking at this house, which is considered a dangerous house even in this era, Lin Ruofan's heart suddenly flashed with the sculpture-like figure of the god catcher in the morning, and there was a pain in his heart for no reason.
"My lord, please have tea."
After the woman walked into the house, she came out not long after, still holding a cup of broken teacup in her hand, the contents said it was tea, it was better to say that it was tea dregs, densely floating on the teacup, the woman's face flashed a touch of confusion, but more importantly, it was flattering.
What the hell is going on?!
Lin Ruofan looked at this woman who was dressed simply and even difficult, looked at the surprise and flattery in her eyes, and then thought of the painful eyes of the god catcher, and her heart hurt as if she had been stabbed with a knife!
"Madame...... I'm sorry, but I'm guilty of an eye disease, so I won't bother here anymore. Madame, rest assured, Lord Liu is loyal and patriotic, and the emperor must know Lord Liu's sincerity! ”
Lin Ruofan has no face to stay any longer, if he stays any longer, he is worried that he will not be able to hold back his tears!
Ignoring the woman's retention, Lin Ruofan strode out of the room and turned to leave. He felt that this guy who was only here for prestige was out of place here, and it would be an insult to the family to be here for one more second!
"Mother, this official of the court is gone again? It's all said, these officials of the court are all the same, and they won't stay here long if they don't have money! ”
Not long after Lin Ruofan left, the little girl came out of the back room, her little face puffed out angrily, and she stretched out her little tongue fiercely towards the place where Lin Ruofan left, with a look of indignation.
"Jiao'er, don't talk nonsense. This big brother is a good guy! ”
The woman touched her daughter's head and smiled, and the whole person seemed to be much more relaxed at this moment.
There is a famous medical center in the capital, why is it famous? Because this is a medical center specializing in gynecology, what is even more surprising is that the attending physician of this medical center is a man! Now, the neighborhood has more to talk about, because a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy has just entered the hospital!
"Brother Fa, let me tell you something, can you take me into the palace to meet the emperor?"
Lin Ruofan's eyes are still a little red and swollen, and his black and white eyes are now full of bloodshots, like two red lanterns.
"Are you alright?"
Zero Hair looked Lin Ruofan up and down carefully, and found that he had nothing abnormal except for some red and swollen eyes, and he was immediately amazed.
"Don't care if I'm fine, just say, can you take me to see the emperor?"
Lin Ruofan was a little impatient, to be precise, he couldn't stand the way he stared at his eyes.
Really, I've never seen a big man cry? Who stipulates that big men can't cry? Brother Hua still has such a song!
"What are you going to do with the emperor? The last time you saw the emperor, Cheng's father-in-law reversed, what is the big deal this time? ”
Zero Hair stared at Lin Ruofan's red eyes with interest, looking like if you don't say one, two, three, I won't take you to see the emperor.
"For a person who has been loyal to the country for 20 years, but his family has been tormented by life."
Lin Ruofan also had no choice but to say his purpose to this unobtrusive guy.
"Liucheng?"
Scattered Hair's face suddenly turned pale, and he stared at Lin Ruofan deadly, as if he wanted to see him through. He knew about Liucheng's matter, and was about to talk to the emperor about it, but he didn't expect Lin Ruofan to take the lead in mentioning it, which couldn't help but make him think about it more.
"Yes! Nothing else! ”
"Good! You come with me! ”
Facing Lin Ruofan's eyes, he muttered for a moment, and finally agreed, carried the medicine box that had never been used, and took Lin Ruofan straight to the palace.
