Chapter 43: It's fun enough to go on a business trip
As soon as the fairy swordsman and Cheng Fei came to Yuancheng to investigate the events of the year, someone took the initiative to find them and asked Cheng Fei to meet alone. He is a child who has been begging for many years, what enemies can he have in the rivers and lakes?
Most of them were the murderers of the year, and they kept sending people to keep an eye on him.
He made a slight move, and someone was sent from there.
Cheng Fei led us to a 'village' in the city, where most of the buildings in the city were made of brick and stone, mixed with mixed mud or clay.
This village is full of straw houses, and the living conditions are extremely poor.
Cheng Fei didn't let us enter the village, but bypassed the village and walked to the mountains behind the village.
There is a forest behind the mountain, and a small river runs through the woods and flows to the village.
Cheng Fei said that the pond was next to the river in the forest, and he remembered it so clearly because there was a special tree next to the pond.
The trees in the entire forest are green, but this one is red from the bark to the branches and leaves.
It's easy to remember and easy to find.
The pool he said was still there, and there was water in it, and the water was just deep enough to reach the surface of the feet, and it was true that no one could drown unless he was lying face down.
But there were no bugs in the pond as he mentioned, only a few small fish and shrimp in it.
He's been poisoned for a few days, and if someone deliberately threw the bugs into the pool, someone might come and clean up the site after he leaves.
Cheng Fei was puzzled: "There were obviously a lot of bugs at that time, which was particularly terrifying. ”
"Look at it, there's no such thing in there." I took off the small bamboo tube and poured out the sleepy insects inside to show him.
"Yes, yes, yes! There is this! Cheng Fei said excitedly.
"That's right, someone deliberately put bugs in the pool to let them bite you."
"It must be the murderer of Jiang Nian and Shi Ying, even the children will not be spared, it is too vicious!" The fairy swordsman said angrily.
"Cheng Jiangnian and Shi Ying were both killed, and the other party obviously had a hundred chances to kill Cheng Fei, but no, I think... The problem lies with Cheng Fei. ”
"Dumbo? What can be wrong with Xiaofei? He was only six years old! ”
"Cheng Jiangnian and Shi Ying were killed, it was a human hand, if you want to kill Cheng Fei, you shouldn't need to use anything else, just a knife, why bother to transport him here, and then put it into a pool full of insects? Besides, he didn't die on the spot, so many insects, if I guessed correctly, they must all be poisonous insects, but not only was he not bitten to death, but he woke up and walked back to his residence by himself, isn't this a problem? ”
"But, too, he was bitten by a worm and almost fell asleep."
"I estimate that among the insects in that pool, this one is the gentleest, and you also know the recent serial killings, I suspect that the murderer of the murder is likely to be the person who killed Cheng Fei's parents back then."
"What? You mean...... Don't...... The other party is using the poison developed by Shi Ying to kill people? ”
"That's right." And the role that Cheng Fei plays in it is a special existence that the murderer can't kill and doesn't want to stay.
"An Shen Doctor, there is something to ask for below, even if the daughter is scattered, he will not hesitate." The fairy swordsman looked solemn.
"You say."
"Please take Xiao Fei in for a while until the murderer is captured or dead."
"Yes, but I didn't take him in, you took me in, I can't take him to Lu's house, but I can live in your house." Chasing the murderer is not something that can be done in a day or two, and since you have taken this job, you have to be serious.
If the people who harmed Cheng Fei knew that he was not dead, they would definitely come back to contact him.
Staying by his side is the easiest way to see the murderer, and the chances are better than squatting on the roof and touching the dead mouse.
The fairy swordsman sent Cheng Fei back to the small courtyard, and went to Lu's house to help me deliver the letter.
I wrote to the Lord of the Lu Alliance and the guard Jia, telling them that I was going to stay outside for a few days, and asked them to take care of Yunzhou.
Fairy Swordsman and Cheng Fei are renting a house, they came to Yuancheng in advance and rented this cheap independent courtyard, where there is a place to grow vegetables and raise some chickens and ducks.
It's just that they are not in the mood to do this, and they used to run out all day long, asking for all kinds of news.
Later, Cheng Fei was poisoned, and the fairy swordsman took him around to seek medical treatment.
After Cheng Fei fell into a complete sleep, the fairy swordsman saw the reward order of the Wulin League and started to sell the copy records.
He was originally a single and idle guest, he was drunk today, and he didn't have much savings on his body, so he emptied his family in order to treat Cheng Fei's illness.
He said frankly that if he wasn't tight-handed, he wouldn't have opened his mouth, and there was a small head in the yamen who was his old acquaintance, and he just opened the back door to take a look at the corpse and gave fifty taels.
Now that Cheng Fei's poison has been cured, their biggest expenses are gone, and the remaining silver is enough for the three of us to live in Yuancheng for a few days.
He ran out again and again, buying big fish and meat, and every day was like the New Year.
After eating for three days in a row, I told him to stop, Cheng Fei's stomach was still weak, he couldn't eat these, just me and him to eat, it was too wasteful to buy so much.
I haven't gotten rid of the habit of eating less yet, and eating more makes my stomach feel bad.
On the fourth day, the murderer didn't wait, but waited for Yunzhou and the guards Jia and Xin.
There are also several nursing homes of the Lu family behind them, although they are wearing ordinary nursing uniforms, I know that they are masters secretly cultivated by the Lu family.
"Why are you here? Something went wrong? "I'm hoeing in the yard and planning to give it a try and plant some crops that will sprout in a few days.
"Madam, Childe, he has to come, we can't stand it, we stop it ruthlessly, he is serious, you see." Guard Jia pointed to his swollen left eye, black and purple.
"Yes, if you stop your subordinates again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save your lives." The right side of the guard Xin's face was swollen and tall, and his mouth was crooked when he spoke.
I sighed deeply, secretly scolding this for being troublesome with a fart worm, but I can't ignore the lives of Jia and Xin, I know too well what level Yunzhou really is.
The small courtyard rented by the fairy sword guest is only enough for two people, and when I come, their father and son have to squeeze a bed, and now there are seven more people, and they can't squeeze it at all.
The Lu family's guardian untied the luggage behind him and said that they came with a tent, please rest assured that they could sleep in the courtyard.
They pitched tents and lit bonfires, just like camping.
The fairy swordsman asked Yun Zhou who I was, the lie had been torn out, and I could only hide it according to my fabricated identity for a short period of time, I said that I used to be Yun Zhou's secret guard, and now I am his wife.
The fairy swordsman was stunned, after all, whether it was in the rivers and lakes or in the court, no similar incident occurred.
But since Yunzhou is my lord and husband, the attitude of the fairy swordsman towards him must be respectful.
There are two rooms in the courtyard, he and Cheng Fei squeeze one, and I live in the other room.
As for the guards Jia and Xin, the two of them were very interested in not causing trouble to the fairy swordsman, and built a simple shed out of bamboo in the backyard to live.
There are ten people living in the small courtyard, and I don't know if the people hiding in the shadows dare to come out.
Ever since I moved into this yard, there have been two more people on a tree in the nearby woods.
