Wei Changpan, who was helped up and leaned on two stacked cotton pads, swallowed the steaming fragrant chicken soup with yellow and clear oil flowers floating in the small spoon in front of him.

The meat in a cup of chicken soup has been carefully bone-stripped, and the meat is stewed until it is soft, brought back by a woman wearing heavy makeup. After a cup of soup entered Wei Changpan's abdomen, she brought a basin of water and began to remove her makeup in front of the bronze mirror, regardless of Wei Changpan's presence.

After wiping a water-soaked cloth on her face repeatedly, the heavy fat powder made the water of the entire copper basin turbid, and the woman opened the window, picked up the copper basin and splashed it out, but the sound fell into the water.

A woman who takes off heavy makeup, in fact, her facial features are extremely attractive, and her delicate facial features are born on a small face, and the demon when applying grease and powder is gone, and it is replaced by a feeling of "a girl next door who has just grown up".

She explained to Wei Changpan: "In Wuhang City, there is a river that runs through the city, called the Longpu River, and the people in the city use this river water for their clothes. She took off the hairpin ornaments on her head, "How old am I, you can call me Sister Cui, this is a common place in Rouge Lane, you will know later." The woman named Sister Cui smiled sarcastically and said again.

This woman who is not very young is reluctant to use the finger guard of peach gum, after all, she has to play two games of pipa for more than two hours each day, and if she uses it every day, it is a lot of money. Glancing at her index finger, which had been bruised and bruised by the strings, she touched the corner of her clothes to relieve the pain coming from her fingertips.

Thinking about when to go to the street to buy a few sets of cheapest finger guards to support for a few days, Sister Cui finally removed all the bits and pieces on her head, and her long hair like a waterfall was coiled in a loose bun, and she said to Wei Changpan angrily: "Pay back the money." ”

"What's the money?"

"You really don't know or pretend you don't know. She slapped Wei Changpan on the head, but halfway remembered that the person lying on the bed had broken more than ten bones, and the gesture changed from palm to claw, kneading his hair into a chicken nest, "Please Langzhong, grab medicine, firewood, rice, oil and salt, this bed cover you sleep on, which one doesn't need money?" And the old lady is tired and tired to serve you for dozens of days, silver, silver." ”

Silver, silver, silver.

The voice that seemed to be urging his life lingered in his head, making Wei Changpan involuntarily shrink into the bed, and said with some confidence:

"The silver I had on me in front of me..."

"Do you mean the dozen taels of scattered silver? After inviting Lang Zhong, after grabbing the medicine, there will be nothing left. She shrank back with some disappointment, "I looked at your underwear before, and I thought it was the distressed son of a rich and noble family, and I thought that when your family came to the door, just like the book that Father Yan said, he took out a lot of gold and silver to thank him..."

"I'm not the youngest son of a rich family, I'm just perched...."Wei Changpan's voice stopped abruptly when he thought of something, but the change in his expression in an instant couldn't escape the eyes of Sister Cui, who was extremely familiar with human affairs, she frowned, and then asked, "Seven?

However, Wei Changpan, who remembered to go out and walk the rivers and lakes, and not easily reveal his roots, did not answer her words, but changed his head, "How was I rescued?"

As soon as I saw Wei Changpan open the conversation box and close it again, Sister Cui raised her eyebrows, and said: "There are two people who are driving the big car, seeing you lying on the side of the road, as if you are out of breath, and your body is still hot, I want to pull you to the city, I never thought that you didn't seem to be able to do it when you were at the mouth of the alley, this person who drove the big car went south and north, probably because he was afraid that you would die in the car and delay things, so he threw you at the alley and ran away, and was picked up by Mother Sun who went out to buy vegetables. ”

She said in a flat tone, took the empty cup away from Wei Changpan, sat back at the dressing table, and said: "If you want to thank you, thank Mother Sun, those medicine money and other bits and pieces are all from her, I just served you for a few days, she is an old mother who washes vegetables and cooks here." ”

"The piece of jade on your body is worth some silver, and it has not been moved, so I will put it there for you. Sister Cui pointed to the cloth bag beside Wei Changpan, "There are still some bits and pieces on your body, and the little knife is also in it, let's talk about it when you can move around." ”

"Thank you. He said softly.

"What?" Sister Cui, who didn't hear Wei Changpan's words clearly, turned her head and said.

"Thank you. ”

"Thank you, if you really want to thank you, hurry up and pay back the money you owe, and go home honestly after recuperation, don't let your family worry. The words went around and around and back to the silver, so that Wei Changpan couldn't speak for a while.

Seeing his embarrassment, Sister Cui no longer teased him, and said with a serious expression: "The old lady is willing to be burdened by serving you, and she didn't say anything about the silver or anything, but Mother Sun is lonely, and the coffin has been taken out and spent on you, so you can't help but pay back the silver." ”

There was a muffled "um" sound from the bed.

Sister Cui shook her head and walked out with the empty cup.

Although she doesn't count the crown, she has grown up in the end, and she is still so unresponsible, and her impression of Wei Changpan is jetlagged.

The young man who shrunk into the quilt tried his best to sort out what had become a mess, the wild river at the junction of Suzhou and Jiangzhou was actually only thirty or forty miles away from Wuhang City, he was chased by a man on horseback at that time, fell into a deep pit, and when he broke out, he couldn't figure out the east and west, north and south, and couldn't stand up, he could only crawl, and he was lucky enough to climb to the side of the road, and was also pulled to Wuhang City by a kind car driver.

He didn't know how many people from Yanyulou would survive after these dozens of days, and where Yu Wenzhao, who was led away by him, ran away to hide, whether he was in Jiangzhou or out of Suzhou, he didn't know anything, only a dozen places on his body that still had a faint pain and a completely unfamiliar environment reminded him that he had only killed two people and fled here.

The moment the blood splashed on his face seemed to burn his flesh and skin, Wei Changpan, who killed for the first time in his life, only then did he have time to recall the situation at that time, if it weren't for the two cavalry who completely ignored the color word as the first knife, Wei Changpan, who was in the realm of the second floor of the martial arts, would have absolutely no reason to win against the two Dayao who were skilled in archery and horses.

I couldn't help touching my face, as if I wanted to wipe off the blood stains that seemed to be on it, Wei Changpan's hand trembled slightly, in the law of Dayao, anyone who kills a soldier without permission is a felony that has to be beheaded, not to mention that he killed two people in succession, but he didn't have a second head to be cut off.

For the first time in his life, Wei Changpan had doubts about the laws of his country.

If the perpetrator is armed with a sharp weapon and is killed with a knife, he is not guilty, but if he is injured, he will also be compensated by the government and half of the perpetrator's family wealth, and the people of Dayao will be the same regardless of whether they are high or low.

When the officials of Qishan County preached the law of Dayao waded through mountains and rivers to the town, they said conclusively, but if there is any injustice, you can go to the government office to beat the drum and voice the grievances, and you will be given justice.

But what he knew was that from the former magistrate of Qishan County to the history of Jiangzhou, the elder brother of the master of Songfeng Mountain, who was the general of Jiangzhou, was a little far from the so-called "justice".

Thinking about this, Wei Changpan left all these messes behind, and the top priority was to figure out the current situation and find Wen Zhao as soon as possible.

....

"What? What can be done, officials and rich people eat and drink spicy food, and we ordinary people almost don't gnaw on bark and grass roots. Sister Cui thought in pieces, "If there is something big, it seems that there was really a case a few days ago, and a notice was posted, saying that a Jianghu sect in Li County with the name of Wen Crepe was used to killing people and buying and selling goods, and gave a nest to the officers and soldiers, and there was a Zhang family in Qishan County all the way, a nest of snakes and rats, it was not a good thing, and the Jianghu sect called Yanyulou was left with a landlord's daughter, but it was a pity that she looked at a very good girl, and she actually made those demonic methods that eat people's hearts and livers..."

"No, no, not like that!"

Wei Changpan waved one arm that could still move and shouted with one hand.

"Where can there be a mistake? It is written on the notice, and the big red seal is covered on it, how can there be a mistake?" Sister Cui hurriedly picked up the futon that he kicked to the ground and covered him again, "If you get cold again, be careful that your bones don't grow well, and you will become a cripple for the rest of your life." ”

She took a few steps in a lame pose, but she failed to frighten the half-grown boy as she had expected, and he cried out to himself:

"No! It's not...."

Sister Cui was in a hurry, for fear of disturbing the guests below, but Wei Changpan's voice lowered a little bit, but she just opened her eyes wide and looked at her stubbornly.

"Okay, okay, this mess in the rivers and lakes, where can you kid manage it, take care of your injuries, I don't know how your bones are broken, don't be beaten. Sister Cui suddenly lowered her voice, "Don't say that you have anything to do with the Yanyulou on the notice and the Zhang family's gun thieves." ”

However, those clean eyes were still staring at her, like a bull, to express their attitude in this way.

"Could it be that you have something with the girl of the Smoke and Rain Building.... But with your age, it's impossible, right?" Sister Cui, who guessed the truth in an instant, immediately denied her suspicions, and if this had something to do with the woman who asked the autumn queen, she really didn't dare to take this kid in again.

"Those things that are so far away that they have nothing to do with themselves, why do you bother with this. Sister Cui shook her head slightly, "It's better to think about how to live the next days with salty radishes." ”

The round eyes slowly appeared and slid down.

The boy has tears and doesn't flick.

That's not to the sad place.
