Chapter 9 of the Crane Scroll
The county magistrate led the way, and Zuo Ci followed, but she was absent-minded, and she couldn't help but wonder what had fallen behind that made her so unable to guess what the person behind the curtain wanted.
Today the woman was afraid that she would not have the strength to take them to the graveyard, and they did not know which one was the grave of the two men, and she was sure that the two men must not have died of the plague.
"Young City Lord, there is a medical hall in front, you must remember to cover your mouth and nose."
Zuo Ci nodded, and followed the county official into the medical hall, the people lying down were not awake one by one, and some doctors and apprentices were feeding them medicine, and it could be seen that there was obviously not enough manpower.
The medical hall where he was being seen was sweating, but he was still writing prescriptions. Now was not the best time to ask, and Zuo Ci didn't want to delay them in treating the sick.
"Later, I'll ask about the situation here, so as not to delay their rest and treatment."
The county magistrate said goodbye to Zuo, who returned to the inn and found pen and ink from the shopkeeper, and she sat down at the table and wrote down all the recent events on a piece of paper, hoping to get some clues from them.
First of all, the bandits in Le'an City found out that the leader of the mountain bandits was not a mountain bandit, and a few days later, the urgent letterhead of Fuxian County was replaced, Zuo Ci couldn't find the common ground between the two, a piece of paper was full of words, but she couldn't figure it out.
The plague in Fuxian came strangely, and now she is not sure if it is a plague or not, if it is a plague then it should spread more rapidly, if it is not the plague then the people in Fuxian County are sick for something.
She suddenly worried about Shen Yunzhou, who was returning to Yecheng, and she really couldn't be easy in her heart.
"Yunzhou, you have to return to Yecheng safely."
——
The horse's hooves collided with the ground, but Shen Yunzhou still heard the sound of rushing up in the woods, he grabbed the reins and stopped here.
Rushing up was a group of about 20 people dressed in black, with long swords in their hands, coming straight at him.
"Dressed in black during the day, I'm really afraid that others won't know that you are killers."
Shen Yunzhou held the black sword of Xuantie in his hand, jumped off the horse's back, the sword was already unsheathed, sideways dodged the sword that rushed towards him, and slid the sword over the man's neck with his backhand.
The forest only heard the screeching sound of the sword colliding with the sword, the sound of the sword piercing the body and touching the flesh, the smell of blood permeated it, and the last sword pierced the man's chest, and after the sword was drawn out, Shen Yunzhou remembered to keep a living mouth.
"I forgot to keep my mouth alive, I originally wanted to try it, but sooner or later, the fox will come out of the hole."
Shen Yunzhou has never been a gentle man, he fought on the battlefield with one enemy and one hundred, and Xizhou, which he fought three years ago, did not dare to act rashly and recklessly to plot against the surrounding counties and towns of Yecheng.
It's just an exception to the left, who in this world can be cruel to the person who pleases him? Naturally, she is spoiled in every way, and it is best for her to be happy.
Shen Yunzhou wiped the blood from the sword, put it in the scabbard, stacked the corpses together, and broke off many branches from nearby trees. The fire in his bosom blew up a fire and set the branch on fire.
The flames were burning, and Shen Yunzhou watched, only hoping that he would not encounter another wave of such assassinations, and he was very tired from handling the corpses.
The bloodstains here will naturally disappear with the sand, but the corpse will not, and leaving the corpse will cause panic among passers-by.
"It's a fire, let's be a serious soldier in the next life."
Shen Yunzhou watched from the sidelines, the fire was like a bottomless pit of greed, wanting to eat the corpses of these people clean. I don't know how long it took, but the fire got smaller and smaller, and some of the corpses were still unburned.
But he noticed that there were still people in the woods on the side, and Shen Yunzhou touched the Xuantie Black Sword.
"Whoever hides in the woods might as well come out and fight."
The voice gradually disappeared, and Shen Yunzhou didn't want to pay attention to it, kicked the unburned corpse into the woods, turned around and got on the horse, and walked away.
If the accomplices of those killers saw him killing people and setting fire to his body, and that person was alone, he would not have come forward. If it's an ordinary city citizen, it's just that there is one more remark here about bullies killing people and setting fires.
Long after Shen Yunzhou left, a man came out of the woods and walked straight to the corpses that had been kicked into the woods. He took out a jade bottle from his bosom and poured the powder on the corpses, but in a quarter of an hour, it turned into a pool of blood.
The man put away the jade bottle and turned to leave.
Except for the blood on the land, there is little evidence that there was a fight here, which can also be said to be a one-sided torture.
The wind blew, and the smell of blood wafted deeper into the woods, disappearing.
——
A carriage in Le'an City went out of the city, surrounded by a few guards, Wen Ye's carriage was extremely stable, and the layout inside was extraordinarily thick, he was weak, but he was reluctant to the world of Yunzhou, so he specially made such an arrangement, so that he could travel in the carriage.
"If it weren't for you, I would be trapped in the Wen Mansion, and I won't be able to hold it out for a few years, and no one will know about my Wen family."
The carriage continued on its way, and Wen sat in it as safe as possible.
Rongcheng Void Mountain, Gu Changan is running around the mansion, Xu Zhinan is sitting at the door of the mansion, every time Gu Changan passes by the main gate, she will remember a lap, and now she has run eighteen laps, only two laps remain.
The two of them were already noisy, and they were even more familiar with each other, Gu Changan was running and walking, thinking about his strangeness in recent days.
The first thing to say must be that they met in the woods, Xu Zhinan sat on the branch in green clothes, signaled silence at him, and then ran around the courtyard with his master in the Void Mansion.
At that time, he didn't know why, he could always think of Xu Zhinan's bright face smiling at that time. Like the light of the mountains through the trees, it sprinkled on his heart.
Gu Changan is now eighteen years old, and the Cui family has mentioned more than once that he should set a family affair, but he is used to being free, and he has always been stubborn, and ordinary high-ranking nobles always look pretentious, he feels tacky.
When he ran through the door of the mansion, he saw Xu Zhinan sitting on the threshold and waving at him, with a smile on his face, as sweet as honey. The little girl's voice was like a sweet spring, and it made his heart move, and although the words were only ordinary words, they made him understand something.
"Gu Changan, it's the last lap, run faster, today the old man Xiahou said to go to the creek behind the mountain!"
Some people are different as soon as they appear, and once she appears, you will understand that the love at first sight that you have heard and seen in the picture book may not be fake.
There was sunlight shining through the leaves, hitting the little girl in green clothes sitting on the branches, and her eyes were shining, as if she could hold everything. Just one glance is worth 10,000 years.
With a clear mind, Gu Changan naturally felt comfortable in his heart, and his steps were much brisker, and finally stood in front of the little girl and stretched out his hand to her.
Xu Zhinan smiled sweetly, put his hand on his hand, and let him pull himself up.
On the tree on the side, Xiahou Chuan leaned against the tree, looked at the two people in front of the mansion, and threw the jujube core in his hand to the side.
"This stinky boy still runs less, add more next time."
