Chapter 55: Mother-in-law
On the second day, Nanxing got up early in the morning.
After sending Nanyun, she wanted to go to the address given by Qin Zheng to have a look. By the way, inquire about the cause of the death of the old blacksmith.
Taking advantage of the fact that Jinli hadn't come in yet, he brewed a cup of coffee in the cloud realm, mentioning his trance-like spirit.
"Miss, when will you and Mu Cui leave the house? The subordinates just saw Mama Li go out again, "Mu Bi came back from practicing swords on the platform.
"It's out again, Jinli!" Nanxing remembered to inquire about Sister-in-law Wu and called Jinli.
"Miss, what do you command?"
"You go home and ask your mother to help me ask what kind of person Sister-in-law Wu is in the big kitchen? Lately, Mama Li has been going to look for her. People say that she has a gambler son who doesn't want to approach her, why is she? ā
"Yes, the slave will go," Jinli hurried downstairs.
Mu Cui came up with a tray and happened to meet her, "What are you going to do?" ā
"Ask my mother about something. That venison, I want to give the lady two slices, and then go out of the house after eating, "Jinli said uneasy as he walked.
Mu Cui stopped and looked at her, and smiled faintly, "What a babbling girl,"
At the end of the day, Nanxing and Mu Cui packed up and went to the south of the city.
The two walked around the street for a long time, but they didn't find the address.
She was a little exhausted, so she told Mu Cui to rest in a nearby tea stall.
The murder of the old blacksmith yesterday afternoon was still circulating in the wine shop and teahouse, and it was also on the tabloids.
"I heard that the old blacksmith died a terrible death, and his hands and feet were broken."
"Really? He doesn't usually have any enemies, so how could he encounter such a thing?"
"My cousin in my seventh aunt's family works as an errand in the yamen. According to him, the murderer must have asked him something or what he was looking for? Why don't you torture him, a poor blacksmith with no money and no power? ā
"That makes sense. Maybe the old blacksmith knew something he shouldn't know."
"In these days, it's important to live honestly."
Nanxing listened to their words, looked at the Tianzhao tabloid in his hand, and felt bored in his heart.
The murderer must have tormented him in order to find out the whereabouts of the hilt of the sword. The old blacksmith, in order to protect her, did not say it.
"Mu Cui, go to the old blacksmith's house and have a look," she put down the tabloid and got up to leave.
"Okay," Mu Cui just drank a cup of tea and followed closely.
Outside the old blacksmith's house, surrounded by neighbors who were helping, there was a lot of crying inside the hall.
His son, Master Xiao Liu, had already rushed back and was busy setting up a mourning hall and doing funerals.
She didn't want to be recognized by him, so she just stood in the crowd and motioned for Mu Cui to put down five hundred taels of silver as a sign of comfort.
As soon as I turned around, I saw an old woman's crutches carved with a cockroach pattern!
The old woman, with white hair, was of medium stature, and was dressed in a coarse gray shortshirt that was very ordinary and coarse, and stood in the crowd and looked inside from time to time.
If it weren't for the cocktail stripes, she wouldn't have been able to spot her in the crowd.
Nanxing thought to himself for a while, slowly walked to the old woman's side, wiped his tears and said sadly, "The old blacksmith master is a good man, and he often helps us make some farm tools. But good people don't live long, and they don't know who they offended, so they were poisoned? ā
"Yes, it's the one who has been stabbed with a thousand knives and doesn't have long eyes. If the old man was here, he wouldn't have died like this."
"Look at my mother-in-law's age. If you were there, you would just add another corpse. Nanxing looked at her in disbelief, "I heard that the old blacksmith was sinful when he died, and his hands and feet were broken. The people in the yamen said that the murderer should be a strong man. If you meet him, you will probably suffer. ā
"I'm going to be afraid of him? Joke, my wife is not as easy to deal with as the old blacksmith,"
The old woman turned her head to look at Nanxing and muttered unhappily, "If this had been thirty years ago, I would have been terrible, forget it, I told you little doll, you don't know,"
Nanxing smiled slightly.
She could see that this old woman had a smooth breath, a steady body, and good martial arts. Signaling Mu Cui not to make a sound, she said with some disdain, "Listening to my mother-in-law's tone, it seems that she is not convinced of the old?" Could it be that you can still fight the murderer? Although I am young, I also know that you are afraid."
"Where did you come from, little girl? Go, go home, don't bother the old woman and me," the old woman saw her say this, and did not bother to explain, but glared at her and drove her away.
"Okay, it's upsetting my mother-in-law. I'm sorry," Nanxing smiled very well-behaved and turned to leave.
When he walked up to Mu Cui, he motioned for her to follow the old woman.
Mu Cui nodded knowingly.
Nanxing returned to the tea stall alone, took out two pills from his small pocket, and put them in his mouth.
These are two comfort pills, which Master Wuchen has prepared for her since she was a child.
He once said that the injured part of the left chest was only a palm's distance from the heart.
The young heart is squeezed strongly, and there are already sequelae. In the future, you may have palpitations and palpitations. If you feel unwell, take two comfort pills.
When she came down from Danxia Mountain, she hadn't taken it for a long time.
But since last night, I felt uncomfortable, and I thought it would be good to take a break from overwork. But now,
Her face was pale and she was holding the medicine, and she held her elbows and looked at the figure on the street from time to time.
"Miss, my subordinates know where she lives. Let'sā" Mu Cui hurriedly ran back.
Seeing Nanxing's uncomfortable appearance, his heart tightened, "What's wrong with you?" My subordinates will carry you back to the palace."
"No, I'm fine." Nanxing waved his hand, "It's an old problem, just take a break after taking medicine." ā
When the bitter taste in her mouth gradually dissipated, she took a sip of tea and rinsed her mouth, and slowly stood up.
"Let's go, lead the way."
Mu Cui helped her worriedly, "I must have been tired for the past few days, if I let the master know, I will definitely feel distressed." ā
"Don't tell him yet, let him rest assured."
Two streets were crossed, and the old woman's house was reached.
Nanxing looked around, the old woman's home was very simple, with a wooden door, a fence wall, and a few chickens in the yard.
It's just a street away from the address written on the note. They didn't find out?
Mu Cui stood outside the courtyard and shouted, "Is there anyone in the house?" We're tired of walking and want to beg for a glass of water."
"Who?" The old woman came out on crutches.
When I saw them, I was stunned, "Why are you?" Why do you follow the old woman? ā
"I didn't follow you, I just wanted to go to the east of the city, and I took the wrong way," Nanxing said naturally.
"Mother-in-law, our young lady has an old illness and can't walk anymore, can I rest here with you?" Mu Cui helped her and said very pitiful.
At this time, Nanxing's face was slightly pale, and he was indeed uncomfortable.
"Look at the way you look, you know that you have a heart disease. Look at this white-faced one, come in quickly," the old woman raised her hand and motioned for them to enter the courtyard.
Nanxing was shocked, this old woman had some skills, and she could see that she had a heart disease just by her face.
"Mother-in-law is amazing! I really have a heart problem. It's been brought since childhood, it's not easy to treat," Nanxing sat at the small table in the courtyard and smiled helplessly.
"Just because others can't cure it doesn't mean I can't cure it. Come, stretch out your hand," the old woman motioned for her to stretch out.
Nanxing smiled bitterly, he was already a doctor and took the medical space cloud realm. At this time, he became a patient and let others diagnose and treat him.
Touching her pulse, the old woman's face became very solemn, and the more Mu Cui looked at it, the more worried she became.
"Mother-in-law, our young lady,"
"Meeting me is your creation, and I can take care of your heart disease! But," said the old woman, smiling meaningfully.
"But what? Tell me about it."
The old woman's eyes flashed, and she drank tea slowly, "It's very strange that you didn't lie down when you got the 'heartless powder'." If I heal you, you will be my disciple and inherit my mantle. ā
"'Heartless powder'?" Nanxing was taken aback.
She knew it was a violent poison.
"Have you heard? This 'heartless powder' was invented by the old man," the old woman smiled proudly.
"Mother-in-law is the 'ghost poison' of the holy doctor's ghost poison?"
"Do you know the name of the old man? "The old woman smiled, "the old man is a ghost. ā
Mu Cui looked at Nanxing curiously, "Miss, what kind of poison is this mother-in-law?" Isn't it amazing? ā
"It's amazing." Nanxing stood up and saluted slightly, "Nanxing has seen Mother-in-law Wushi,"
"Well, you already have a heart disease, and you're so tired because of the 'heartless powder'. Fortunately, the powder in you is not deep, and there is a solution. ā
The old woman nodded slightly. "If you think about it, come to the old body every day to see a doctor."
"Nanxing will come on time," she felt slightly relaxed.
I heard the master say that this mother-in-law's poison technique is very powerful, maybe I will have to consult her in the future to solve the seven mysteries. Now, first agree to her request and solve the 'heartless powder'!
Looking at the crutches in her hand, the cockroach pattern is so obvious.
Nanxing's eyes wandered, "Mother-in-law, the ornament on your crutch is really beautiful, can you show me?" ā
"I showed you that you don't know either," Granny Wushi glanced at the ornament, and raised her cane without letting go, "It's just a decoration." If you have a chance in the future, the old body will show you."
"I have a sword hilt here, and there is such a pattern on the hilt, please look at it, mother-in-law," Nanxing took it out of his arms without concealment. "I wonder if my mother-in-law knows the owner of this sword?"
"Feng Kuanjian?" Mother-in-law exclaimed.
"Exactly, Nanxing has been looking for him again. Does his mother-in-law know his whereabouts? ā
"I haven't met him since I met him 10 years ago." Mother-in-law Wushi touched the hilt of the sword with some sadness.
Suddenly, her eyes became fierce, "How did you get this hilt?" Did you kill the old blacksmith? ā
"It's not me, it's the old blacksmith who gave it to me," Nanxing was a little sad, "If it weren't for the hilt of the sword given to me, he wouldn't have been killed."
"It seems that the people of the year refused to let go of Feng Kuanjian."
Mother-in-law Wushi put the hilt of the sword on the table and poured a cup of tea, "Back then, he was instigated by gangsters and had to do something hurtful!" Afterwards, he felt remorseful in his heart, and in a fit of anger, he destroyed his broadsword and disappeared. The old blacksmith saw that the ornament on the hilt of the sword was very similar to mine, and secretly left it to tell me about it. It was I who asked him to hide quietly, if Feng Kuanjian's daughter came to find him, there would be a memorial! ā
"You're not going to be his daughter, are you?" Mother-in-law looked at her suspiciously.
"I just," Nanxing did not admit or deny.
After all, the last time I went to the blacksmith shop, I told the old blacksmith and the little blacksmith under the pretext that the daughter was looking for her father. Now, people have lost their lives because of this, and she can't explain it.
But what she didn't expect was that Feng Kuanjian really had a daughter.
But where is this daughter?
