5. Murder case in the villa

After a short walk along the mountain road, there were stone walls and thatched houses at the end.

Since the mountain road is underneath the premises, there is no view behind the premises. Xie Jingliang told her that this was the entrance to the villa. There were trees on the left and right of the house, and I faintly saw a naked boy lying on the tree. The boy whistled, and a group of people appeared at the head of the room. This group of people, both men and women, young and old, all of them were contemptuous and Xie Jingliang's clothes, but some of the men wore crowns, some wrapped their heads in cloth, and the women all wore headscarves. They were all happy, yelling in this direction.

Scornran was a little scared, he couldn't understand what they were saying, he just thought they were screaming. Xie Jingliang smiled and waved at them, and whispered contemptuously: "You have to hold on, just pass the first level." Remember, their local dialect is not difficult to understand, as long as you listen attentively, you will understand it. ”

People didn't pay attention, halfway up the mountain next to the villa, Jin Yan was squatting in the bushes, with a vicious smile on his face, looking down. Behind him there was a loud noise, and a boy of his age and dressed in the same clothes sneaked up from among the bushes and told him, "I have informed the patrol and they are going to investigate the scene of the dead." ”

Jin Yan said: "Very good! You keep an eye on it here, and tell me the details later. I'll go back first. ”

"Yes, sir." The boy replied respectfully.

Jin Yan slipped away along the bushes.

At this time, Xie Jingliang and Contempt had already come to the head of the room. The people surrounded them and gossiped about them. After careful discernment, he finally realized that they were saying some greetings. They were very respectful to Xie Jingliang and called him the owner. Xie Jingliang introduced Contempt to them, and they surrounded Contempt again.

"Alain?" A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl directly grabbed her hand with contempt. Trembling with contempt. This girl really looks like Yoshiko, but she doesn't wear glasses and smiles sweetly. Her accent seems to be different from others, and she has some northern meanings, so she can understand it - although she is from Bashu, she usually learns Mandarin.

"My name is Masako," the girl said urgently, "can you understand me?" ”

"I can."

"Hey! You weren't a local either. You seem to be ......"

Xie Jingliang took over her words: "She is a Ba person, and she is far, far away from here. ”

Masako said: "I know the way, I know the way!" My family used to live in that area. My family also came here to escape the war. Go, go, Sister Alain, go to my house. ”

Masako was extremely excited, took Contemptuous hand and left, looked at Xie Jingliang with contempt and hesitation, Xie Jingliang said, "You can go along, so that you can see the situation in the villa." Contemptuously, he had no choice but to follow.

When I entered the villa, I realized that there were many houses inside, all of which were made of rocks and roofed with thatch. Several dogs roamed the village road, and some even stopped, looked at them, and barked a few times. Masako's home is not far away, and I arrived after more than a dozen houses, only to see that there can be four or five main houses, and a yard surrounded by branches, and on the wooden shelves inside, there are several animal skins to dry, including tiger skins and wolf skins.

Masako smiled and said, "My dad is hunting, and he has been hunting a lot these days. When he comes back in the evening, he will give you roasted wild boar to eat. ”

"And wild boars here?"

"Of course. My dad was a great hunter. He often wore tiger skins to go out of the house. Those wild boars, wolves, and so on, when they saw the tiger skin, they were scared, and obediently let my father stab them. ”

Contempt's heart trembled, could it be that her father was the one who died in the valley?

When they entered the house, they were made of wooden beds in each room, but they were covered with animal skins. Masako sat down on a bed and said it was her bed. She said that she also had a younger brother, and she didn't know where the road had gone at this time. There was a wooden box made of thick wood next to the bed, and Masako squatted in front of the box and turned it up, and took out a necklace from it, which was a necklace made of small white bone perforations, the eyelets were quite large, and the perforated rope was hemp rope.

Masako said proudly, "This is what my dad made for me personally." These little white bones were all polished by my dad himself. You put it on and take a look. ”

I don't want to wear it. These necklaces made of white bones really terrified her. Think about the necklaces made of various materials in the modern city, which one is not better than this? Her mother once bought her a white gold necklace, but she thought it was too conspicuous and kept it in the jewelry box.

"No, no, no, don't wear it!" Contemptuously refused.

"Actually, I gave it to you." Masako proudly declared, contemptuously unable to understand what she was proud of. But then I understood: "My dad will make it for me." ”

"But ......"

"Don't shirk, stay! It's not easy for you, hey! In an instant, Masako's eyes were filled with tears, and she sat down on the edge of the bed, holding her hand tightly, and said, "I know what it's like to be without a mother." My mother, when I was in Guanzhong, two groups of people fought, but my mother did not dodge, she was trapped in the chaos and trampled to death by a war horse. I miss my mom so much! ”

Masako began to cry, crying very sadly. With a burst of excitement, she couldn't help but stretch out her other hand and grab her other hand. If the man who died in the valley was really his father, what would he do?

Outside the door, a little boy of fourteen or fifteen years old ran in, with a round head and a round face, but his face was covered with dust. He looked at Contempt very boldly and said, "Sister, this is the new Sister Alain, right?" ”

"Yes, call Sister Alain. This is my younger brother, called Erdan. ”

"Sister Alain!" The second egg screamed.

Contemptuously liked this little boy very much, and also shouted: "Second egg! "Step forward and take his hand. Erdan's hands are very rough, as if he often does heavy work.

Erdan pulled out his hand vigorously: "Sister Alain, the owner of the village asked you to go, the meal is ready." ”

Masako hurriedly said: "Erdan, you little villain, why didn't you say it earlier?" Sister Alain, let's eat, I'll send you. ”

Contemptuously, he went out of the house accompanied by Masako. Erdan followed. As soon as he went out, a dog approached Erdan's side and wagged his tail. Masako frightened: "Xiaohu, this sister is my best friend, don't scare her." Do you hear that? The dog seemed to be very popular, and barked twice.

Masako, Erdan, and the dog walked along the road with contempt, crossed a few houses, and turned into an alley, and a house appeared in front of it, a very large courtyard, and the houses in it could have as many as seven or eight rooms, tall and large. Masako grabbed the second egg and said to Contempt: "This is the owner's house, you can go in!" ”

In the room, a woman of twenty-two or thirteen years of age came out, although she was dressed in linen, but she was wearing a very fancy new turban, and she looked very good. She shouted to Contemptuously: "Alain, come in, the owner is waiting for you!"

Masako whispered, "This is Sister-in-law Jiang who works at the owner's house." She is also northerner, and the accent you can understand. ”

Contemptuously took Masako's hand: "You go in too, let's eat together!" ”

"No, no, we're leaving!"

Masako pulled the second egg, took the dog, and ran away with a tom.

Contemptuously led by Sister-in-law Jiang, she entered the house. In front of the door is a large hall, in which there is a low table, Xie Jingliang is kneeling in front of the table, on the table are four pottery, like a bowl but not a bowl, very rough, but contemptuously can only be called a bowl, all containing hot food. The food was boiled pork, a large bowl of vegetable soup, a bowl of unspeakable pickles, and a bowl of roasted mutton.

Contemptuously surprised in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, and came to the opposite side of Xie Jingliang. Xie Jingliang waved at Sister-in-law Jiang very politely: "Don't you still have to sew clothes?" Go ahead! Sister-in-law Jiang nodded politely: "Miss Alain, if you find it unpalatable, tell me, I will do better next time." ”

"Thank you!" Said contemptuously.

Sister-in-law Jiang went out, but the door was not closed. She can be seen out of the yard. Contempt only then breathed a sigh of relief. She wanted to sit down, but the table was too low for her to find inconvenient. Xie Jingliang said: "Contempt, you have to learn from me, kneel and sit." ”

"Huh? I'm not used to it! ”

"I'm not used to sitting like this. Because the ancients didn't wear pants, it would be very unsightly to stretch out their legs to sit in front of them. Only by kneeling and sitting can you not expose your lower body. ”

It was very difficult for Contemptuous Ran, but he had to sit on his knees. She let out a long sigh: "Uncle Xie, what's going on, why am I dreaming?" ”

Xie Jingliang said: "You think I'm not dreaming? It's also amazing. We strayed into a time tunnel and entered here, but we were mistaken for the owner and entered the house. Isn't it strange, you say? ”

"It's weird. Besides, how can you eat this rough thing? ”

Although he was hungry, he could hardly swallow when he saw the rough utensils. Contempt was given strict discipline by his mother since he was a child, and washing his hands before meals and washing his feet before going to bed at night has become a procedure. There is a sterilizer at home, and the dishes that have been washed clean by my mother are often put into the sterilizer. Therefore, I am very careful about hygiene. Looking at the rough pottery, she felt very unhygienic. Especially the pair of chopsticks, black, I don't know what kind of wooden pole is made of, it seems that the years of use are not short.

Xie Jingliang said: "Contempt, you have to adapt." This is actually much better than in the court. The bronze ware used in the court looks high-end, but those utensils that are not very good, do you know how many elements that affect the human body? Where did the ancient people understand heavy metal poisoning? Besides, although this pottery is rough, it is made of clay after all, and it will be the main tableware of human beings in the future, and it will still be used by modern people, right? ”

Contempt had to agree with him. As soon as I thought about it, I immediately felt hungry, very hungry, and I ate it in large bites, and it tasted really good.

Xie Jingliang said in a low voice while eating: "This sister-in-law Jiang is very strange, saying that she has no children and no home, and she has been displaced here. But when I look at her, she is very beautiful, and her eyes are delicate. Contempt, I suspect, she may be a spy sent in by the Wu State. ”

"Huh?" Contemptuously choked in fright.

"You have to be calm. You should know Lu Dao, Xu was destroyed by Wu in 512 BC, the great military strategist of Wu State, do you know who Lu Dao is? It's the grandson! ”

Contempt and surprise again.

Xie Jingliang said: "Sun Tzu is like a god with soldiers, but before the war, he attached great importance to the enemy's reconnaissance. He sent spies, which should be one of his necessary methods. In the Spring and Autumn Period, although there were Zhou rites, due to the fighting of various countries, the so-called 'Spring and Autumn Unrighteous War', so unlike the later respect for the way of Confucius and Mencius, the restraint of women in various countries has its own practices, and it is also possible for women to be spies. Do you know the story of 'Ai Nu Poured Around'? It was 4,000 years from modern times, and Ai Nu should be the first female spy in the history of our country, and she has achieved a lot. I only now know that this place is only five miles away from a castle in the Xu Kingdom, called Yingcheng. If Wu wants to attack, can you not figure out the situation of the castle? ”

"So what are we going to do?"

"Don't be afraid. Contempt, there are still three years left before the destruction of the Xu Kingdom! Moreover, although the state of Xu perished, its remnants continued until the Warring States. Now that we're here, we can do a lot of things, maybe change history. Do you know what the villa we're staying in is for? It is called Nanpu Mountain Villa, and it is a mountain villa that has been hollowed out of the Dansha mine. Yanglang, the owner of the farm, is the owner of the placer mine, because the ore veins have been exhausted, so he went out to look for ore. But I know that this mine has not been exhausted, and the placer mine below can be dug for at least 30 years according to the current mining capacity. ”

"How do you know the truth?"

"I've been studying Xu Guo, of course, I know the way. Contempt, in the future, while looking for the entrance to the time tunnel, while refining dansha, we can be rich. ”

Outside the courtyard gate, there was the neighing of horses. Then the gate was violently pushed open, and a group of people entered, led by a young officer in armor on a handsome horse, also twenty-three or fourteen years old, with a bronze sword pinned to his waist, and the armor on his head glittered with jade tablets. He was followed by several sergeants on foot, all in armor and holding Changge in their hands. Later, a group of people in the village were all frightened.

The young officer stopped his horse and shouted into the house: "Is this the owner's house?" ”

His voice was rough and had the taste of a northerner, so he could hear it very clearly with contempt.

Xie Jingliang's face changed, and he hurriedly got up to greet him, and arched: "I am Yang Lang, the owner of the village." May I ask the military master, what are your orders? ”

Contempt also hurriedly followed. She looked at the young officer and felt that he was so powerful and handsome. Those eyes seem to be shining brightly and can shine into people's hearts.

The young officers were silent, their eyes only rolling over them. At the end, his eyes were fixed on the feet of contempt, and he looked attentively at the clogs of contempt. He suddenly waved his hand: "Grab her and take off her shoes!" ”

The two soldiers stepped forward at once, knocked down Contempt, and took off her clogs. Ranran howled in fright and struggled hard, but he couldn't move at all. Xie Jingliang was even more frightened, ran to the young officer, and pleaded vigorously: "Master Jun, my lord, what's going on?" She had just come to the lodge with me, and she had done nothing wrong! ”

People outside the door also poured in, pleading one after another.

Unmoved and silent, the young officer raised the clogs and observed them carefully. After a long time, he broke off and shouted: "Do you want to rebel?" "All the people were silent. The young officer said, "You may not know the way yet, do you? Changle of your village has died tragically in front of the mountain. ”

"Ah, Changle is dead? Didn't he wear a tiger skin and go hunting? Everyone immediately began to talk.

Only then did he realize that the matter of the dead had been discovered. Her heart trembled, and she looked at Xie Jingliang helplessly. Xie Jingliang gave her a fierce look, and she was a little relieved.

Due to his boxing training, he has the mental quality to maintain stability in emergency situations. Her father kept admonishing her: "The more urgent it is, the more you have to lose, and the more you grit your teeth." If you can grit your teeth, maybe you'll be the last to win. Remembering her father's words at this time, she was heartbroken, and she was born with a pride that she was not afraid of heaven and earth.

"Hey!" Although she was lying on the ground, pressed by the soldiers and unable to get up, she shouted at the young officer, "I don't know who you are!" But why are you arresting me, do I have something to do with the dead? ”

The young officer was dismissive and shouted at the soldiers: "Get the cart and take the people away!" ”
