Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Harlequin Reappears

The ancients believed that rain is a gift from God to the world to moisten all things, less is drought, more is flood, so there is an idiom called wind and rain.

For example, my hometown used to ask for rain during the great drought, and as a descendant of the Feng family, Hongcun is not to mention.

Back at the camp on the other side, Cha Wenbin had been standing outside for a long time, only to see that it was pouring rain on the other side of the river, but there was not even a little rain star here, across the river, this thing is so strange!

Feng Qiyun asked Cha Wenbin: "How long will it take for you to ask for rain?" ”

Cha Wenbin said: "If everything is ready, it is estimated that it will take two hours to walk down a complete set, and it may not be bright, I am not very good at that thing, but this should be your strength." ”

Feng Qiyun said: "That's why I asked you, you have the ability to rain when you want to come in an instant, there is only one thing in the world that can do it." ”

"You mean the corpse of the harlequin?"

Feng Qiyun nodded and said: "I can't imagine that it has been 1,500 years since the corpse of the harlequin was able to reappear in the world, Brother Cha, this letter of yours is too timely." Anyway, he wrote a letter in a hurry, but he whistled in the air, and a snow-white owl flew into the window out of nowhere, which really startled the fat man.

Feng Qiyun rolled up the letter paper and inserted it into something like a bamboo pole tied to the owl's leg, and with a light tap the bird flapped its wings and flew away, only heard of someone using a pigeon to deliver letters, and had never seen an owl trained as a postman.

"What are you?"

"Let my family tell my family, the reappearance of the corpse of the harlequin is a major event, it is not only the supreme treasure of my clan, but also the task that my generation will always be looking for." Feng Qiyunqiu said softly: "Brother, this is also the fate of you and me!" ”

A fire actually burned the corpse of a harlequin, and now these two groups of people are separated by a river, you can see me, I can see you, from the outside, it is calm. As everyone knows, just like the underwater in this river, the undercurrent is surging.

Retaliation, soon as promised, in the second half of the night, someone first cut the wire, if it wasn't for the good preparation here, that pack of poisonous rats would probably be put into tomorrow's breakfast.

Fang Yi's move was a killer move, even if Zhang Ruoxu had such a good temper, he would never be willing to give up. So how many people are there in this imminent conflict?

According to Ye Qiu and Feng Qiyun's observations last night, there were about 30 people who were disguised as workers during the day and slept in the factory at night, and some of them disguised themselves as farmers and carried out activities in the mountains, totaling about 70 or 80 people. These people are extremely good in both quality and health, disciplined, able to calm down in the event of a riot, and there are some good players, such as the one they met before, who is neither male nor female.

And here, the two major families only brought a dozen people, and an old man who had been bored in the house all day, anyway, he had never been seen to come out for activities, plus Cha Wenbin, they barely managed to gather twenty people. If you really want to talk about the comparison of forces, it is about 4:1, and the other party is 4, so when the meeting was held, the fat man was the first to put forward his opinion: "This is fighting with people on your own territory, and you are embarrassed to say that you are a big family that has existed for thousands of years, and it is not enough to get such a little people, and it is not enough to stuff people's teeth." ”

But Ding Shengwu said: "You are wrong, this soldier is not many, it is fine." The purpose of sending the two of us here is also very clear, Mr. Zhang is good at tinkering with the organs, and I am good at opening acupoints and exploring the position, you think this is a triad fight, there are many things that can't be put on the table openly, you have to ...... secretly"

"Secretly, they're about to be poisoned!" The fat man muttered, "Then when will you do it?" ”

Zhang Ruo looked at Cha Wenbin and said: "Wait ......"

Cha Wenbin was puzzled: "Why are they all ......?"

Feng Qiyun is a smart person in the end, he immediately reacted and said: "The reason why everyone hasn't done it first now is because there is a lack of a necessary thing, that is, Brother Cha, the corpse of the child you hid, or the incense called "Immortal Drunk" has not yet been configured. ”

The fat man said: "So now we have the raw materials, and they have the formula?" ”

"That's right," Feng Qiyun said, "This is why they have to hate Brother Cha like that, I heard that you burned that corpse?" ”

Cha Wenbin smiled: "What do you think? But he also said: "In the end, the things in their hands were also stolen from the Liu family, and when we find them, they are also returned to their original owners, by the way, can anyone use the corpse of the harlequin?" ”

"No," Feng Qiyun said: "The usage of this harlequin's corpse has always been known only to my Thunderstorm Department, but in that tragedy 1,500 years ago, the Feng clan was almost wiped out, and that person has lived in my clan for more than two years, so it is very likely that he will know this usage." ”

Since everyone is waiting, Cha Wenbin might as well take the first step, this Liu family is in the town. Early in the morning, he went to visit the Liu family, the girl was wearing black silk on her arm, early in the morning to see that it was Cha Wenbin who came to be surprised, Cha Wenbin straight to the point and said: "I came to you today to make incense, I don't know who in the Liu family has this craft now?" ”

The girl's name shook her head like a rattle and said: "Don't do it, don't do it, the Liu family no longer makes incense, this is the rule set by grandpa, and no one can break it." ”

"The rules are set by people," Cha Wenbin took a step inside and said, "What about your father, can he be at home?" ”

The girl playfully said: "It's useless to look for my father, he is fiddling with flowers and plants in the garden, and I remember that my grandfather has never let him into the workshop." ”

Old man Liu has only one son under his knees, named Liu Ruchun, this person is almost a figure in the Liu family, when the old man was in the past, the old man himself Zhang Luo inside and out, but now it has been changed to that girl. Even for something as important as a funeral, it was his sons and daughters who came forward. This Liu Ruchun Buddha was born as a young master, and he wears it cleanly and spotlessly every day, either fiddling with flowers and plants or walking birds. He doesn't socialize with people, and he doesn't talk much at home, Cha Wenbin has been here a few times, but he has only seen two faces, just nodding his head and saying hello.

"Uncle Chun, where are you at home?"

Liu Ruchun glanced lightly, saw that it was Cha Wenbin, and lowered his head again and continued to fiddle with his flowers and trees. Cha Wenbin followed and stuck to him and said, "Uncle, ask you something, do you know how to make incense?" ”

Liu Ruchun was very careful to repair a pot of finch plums with scissors, and he gently moved a position and said, "Are you the one who does that work?" ”

This willow Ruchun's ten fingers are slender and white, and a man in his forties has a pair of twenty-year-old hands, which has never done heavy work, just like he himself does not look old.

Cha Wenbin said with a smile: "The hands are dexterous enough to make incense, and these ten fingers do not touch the spring water every day, I am afraid that it is to prevent a little peculiar smell from staining the spices." ”

With a "click", a branch was cut, Liu Ruchun got up slowly, this was the first time he said with a straight eye: "I don't understand what you're talking about, if there is nothing else, you can go, I'm different from my father, I don't like to be disturbed very much, Mr. Cha!" ”

"Mr. Liu!" Cha Wenbin also said in an aggravated tone: "Don't you want to find out who persecuted your Liu family to this step back then, who manipulated into this mansion behind the scenes, smashed and looted, and burned all the hard work of your ancestors for thousands of years!" ”

Cha Wenbin continued: "If you don't want to! Then I think, these people are back now, because they are drunk with immortals, how many people have been bleeding for this thing, and how many innocent lives have been lost because of it! Those people have planted the banner in front of your house, are you really in the mood to trim flowers and cut grass here? After speaking, he walked to the door while pulling Liu Ruchun, the Liu family is on high ground, and he can just see the factory.

Cha Wenbin pointed to the factory and said loudly: "It's those people, and now they're back!" You think you'll be able to stay out of it by hiding here! ”

The girl was also dumbfounded, although the father's temper was good, but he was fiddled with like this, he didn't have the slightest anger, but his face became more and more decadent. After a long time, he finally spoke: "Well, if you can get the formula, I can make an exception for you." ”

"Really?"

Liu Ruchun leaned on the threshold and said, "Really, without my hands, even if you have the recipe and raw materials, you can't make that kind of fragrance." ”

Incense making, to the highest level, not only needs the formula, but also the weather ingredients, even if you copy all of these, but there is still something that cannot be copied, that is, the human hand of incense making. It's like pickling kimchi, the same raw material and the same jar, different women pickle it by hand, and the finished product is delicious for some people, but sour and astringent.

The fat man was in a daze at the table all noon, and finally he couldn't hold back and said, "Cha Ye, what are we doing with such waste?" ”

Cha Wenbin pointed to Ding Shengwu outside and said: "You go and ask your father-in-law, if you are so blessed, what are you doing when you go to a place like us where birds don't?" ”

"Marker!" Suddenly, Ye Qiu got up and said, "I remember, when I went in with you that day, there was originally a door there, you want to open it, I won't let it." ”

"You mean that round knocker? In the middle of that circle there is a black pattern that looks like a dragon and not a dragon, and it looks like a beast but not a beast, and the head and tail of this thing are wrapped in a circle! ”

"That's right," Ye Qiu said, "I've seen the same similar mark on the third floor of the Luomen Underground Palace. ”
