Chapter 15: The Lonely Street Fighter

In any case, the unrecognizable floating corpse, as the only "harvest" of the night, was transported back to the town's guard by the officials. After a while, the once noisy Evil Fish Pond fell silent again.

A burly middle-aged man spied that the men had left, so he walked out of his hiding place and stood alone by the waterhole staring at the water.

Suddenly, gusts of eerie cold wind blew across the water surface of the Evil Fish Pond one after another, unbelievably raising wisps of black smoke. This situation made the man standing by the pool couldn't help but feel a chill - and then goosebumps all over his body......

"Perhaps, this is providence, right?" The middle-aged man looked up to the sky and muttered to himself.

……

Early the next morning, when it was still dark, an old man stumbled outside the gate of the guardhouse, and he wept and cried silently as he walked: "Xianggong...... My father-in-law! The two soldiers guarding the door stopped him with their spears, but they heard a majestic voice behind him scolding: "Don't be rude, let his old man come in quickly!" ”

It turned out that it was Song Tuiguan, who had just gotten up, wearing a cloak and standing on the steps of the gate. As soon as the old man who came in a hurry saw Song Che, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and said in his mouth: "Lord Song, the old man begs you to redress my grievances!" ”

Song Che hurriedly stepped down the steps, helped the old man up with both hands, and said, "Old man, please get up quickly, if you have something to say, go in and speak slowly." At the same time, he recognized that this old man who had come in a hurry early was the faithful old servant of the family of Chongji.

Song Che took the hand of the old servant of the farming family, walked into the guard, and asked softly: "Dare to ask the old man, your old noble surname?" ”

"My lord, you can kill the old slave. Don't dare to ask, the little cheap surname is Pu, the name is Pugen, and everyone calls me Lao Putou on weekdays. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Uncle Gen."

When the old servant heard this, he was so panicked that he almost fell to his knees again...... He trembled and said, "How can an adult love a little one so much? Little Lao'er really can't stand it! You're still called the old slave - the old man. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a title. If it's by age, the official should call you Uncle Shengsheng - that's always right, right? As they spoke, they had already arrived in the room where the bodies were parked.

Lifting the white cloth on the floating corpse, the old man couldn't help but cry again and was overwhelmed with grief! Seeing this scene, Song Che, who accompanied him, also frowned.

After repeated and careful identification by Lao Putou, he finally determined that this floating corpse should be the seed album himself! However, the details of the case related to the series are still unknown for the time being......

In order to further dig into the secrets hidden behind the seed series, Song Che rewarded the old Pu Tou and asked him to immediately rush to Mrs. Chong's maiden house and invite Mrs. Chong to assist in the investigation. In order to clear his master's grievances and avenge his hatred as soon as possible, the faithful old Pu Tou was naturally very willing to work for this matter - so as soon as he received the order, he immediately set off.

……

Outside the south gate of Jiaxing City, under a simple roadside tea shed, there are several countrymen wearing hats, sitting around a table drinking tea.

As they talked in low voices, they glanced at the pedestrians on the road, consciously or unconsciously—as if they were waiting for someone.

Weber, the owner of the tea shed, who has read countless people, intuitively sniffed out the "goodness" of these tea guests, so he also looked at them from time to time.

After a while, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the tea shed for a while, and then, a huge man appeared in front of Weber. Webb looked up and saw that it was an old acquaintance - the big man Liu (Liu Xinghammer) came!

At this moment, Weber, who usually likes to chew the root of his tongue the most, was immediately interested, and he whispered to Liu Xinghammer in a very low voice: "Big man Liu, do you know what those few come from? ”

"What's that?" Liu Xingzhu had always been accustomed to a rough voice, so he just shouted, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.

This is the so-called "scaring the snake", and the few hatholders immediately noticed the abnormality and threw a vicious gaze here.

Liu Xinghammer was secretly annoyed that he was in too much of a hurry to go out today, and he forgot to bring a one-legged bronze man - otherwise, he really didn't pay attention to those people. However, this Da Liu is not just a reckless man, his eyes are rolling sharply at the moment, and he is thinking about it in an instant......

Da Liu threw two copper coins at Weber and glanced at him again, but at the same time he took a big stride and rushed in the direction of the suburbs.

The hat-bearers thought the big man's behavior was a little strange, and wanted to track it down—for fear that they were mistaken about their "business"; Don't chase it - it's weird in my heart!

At this time, Weber, who sold tea, began to "make a show": "God, quickly collect the bone-eating Liu who killed that day!" Is he still there—to continue to plague the people? ”

The old man was crying and making trouble, but he kept moving his body and getting closer and closer to the hatsters......

Seeing a bad old man crying with a handful of snot and tears, as if he was crying for help with the four of them, the hatholders were also a little confused for a while. And at the moment when they were a little distracted, a lean figure had already flashed vigorously, and in the blink of an eye, it had already entered the doorway of the south city gate without realizing it......

The play that Old Man Wei sang not only used his body to help block the sight of the hatholders, but also took the opportunity to get close to those people and intentionally or unintentionally touched some hidden things on them! After the old man knew what he knew, he gradually restrained his crying, and returned to the tea stove with a curse in his mouth.

……

When night was about to fall, Webber, who was closing the stall, suddenly heard a few cuckoo calls! He immediately looked up and found Liu Xinghammer squatting in the grass opposite—looking straight at him.

Webb squinted and saw that those people were not looking this way, so he immediately made a particularly exaggerated grimace at Liu Xinghammer. Liu Xinghammer immediately understood, and with the information he obtained, he quickly disappeared into the darkness in the distance in the blink of an eye......

Seeing that there were very few pedestrians passing by, the hat-takers paid for the tea and got up to leave. They hurried to the south gate, and entered the city just as it was about to close.

At this time, the deserted streets of the city began to be lit up with sporadic lights - night had quietly fallen. As they walked, the hatsters asked passers-by: How did the newly destroyed Ni family go?

Several passers-by who were asked in a row reacted unanimously: first panicked, and then surprised. There was a middle-aged woman with a rough appearance, who stared at them with disdain, and at the same time spat out the sentence "Neurotic!" ”

The hatsters who were only asking for directions in front of them didn't notice that there was always someone following them a few feet away from them. The man was draped in a wide black cloak, and if he was to be seen at this time, it would be almost all that was left—a pair of bright eyes like stars!

At this moment, the night on the streets in the south of Jiaxing is indeed a little lonely......
