If Lin Xianling is a cautious person, then Ning He is not a person who listens to and believes partially.

After he went out, he hid in the dark, and as soon as he saw the hurried Lin County Order come out, he followed him to the outside of the county office, and then sneaked in, lying on the roof beam to peep at what Lin County Order was doing.

Finally, as soon as Lin County's order left, he pulled out the hairpin on his head, inserted it into the keyhole of the case room and played with it a few times, the door lock opened in response, and then he also checked the records of the year at a glance.

In this way, we not only learned the causes, results and truth of the incident that year, but also indirectly verified the authenticity of Lin Zhixian's statement.

What's next? He thought of a more interesting person, and it would be much quicker to find him than to go to the fishing village to inquire about him.

The night was quiet, and Ah Hai was sleeping soundly, and his face suddenly became cold and cold, which woke him up. Then I saw a blurry face in front of me. He was so frightened that he was about to call out, but his mouth was covered, and he didn't even make the slightest sound of "hmm".

Ning Heku whispered in his ear: "It's me, one hundred taels." ”

Belch! This self-introduction, the magic seems to be very great, and it instantly made Ah Hai give up the idea of fear and struggle, and almost laughed.

Ning He let go of his hand, and Ah Hai got out of bed lightly, for fear of disturbing the other three guys in the same room.

As soon as the two of them stood in the shadow of the secluded corner, Ah Hai began to complain, "Hey, one hundred taels of sons, it's not good to be scary in the middle of the night." People are scared to death. If it weren't for your good looks, I would have thought I had seen a ghost? ”

Ning Heku was very satisfied with the title of "One Hundred and Two Sons", and smiled and smiled, "I'm sorry, I have a bad habit, I like to go out in the dark to move my muscles and bones, and find someone to chat with or something......"

In the dark, Ah Hai took a cool breath, clenched his arms and retracted back, trembling and tentative: "Childe, in addition to chatting with someone in the dark night, will you go to find something else?" For example......"

Rather than bitter: "......"

He really wanted to beat Ah Hai, just wanted to tell the difference, but after thinking about it, he smiled evilly, and smiled eerily: "Occasionally digging a grave or something......

He grabbed Ah Hai, who turned around and wanted to slip away, in time, and couldn't help but smile: "Really, I was born so good-looking, where am I like a tomb robber?" ”

Ah Hai stared at him coldly for a long time, and suddenly remembered an important question and asked, "How did you know that I live here?" ”

That night, he clearly saw Ning Heku's figure on the wall, and then disappeared under the wall before leaving.

Ning He still smiled, "I still have a bad habit, that is, I like to hide in high places and peep, climb high and look far away, everything I see is clear at a glance, and it is more trouble-free." ”

Ah Hai pursed his lips, "You have a lot of bad habits!" How did I meet you? ”

Ning He smiled dumbly and quickly answered, "Because you're funny!" Interesting people are naturally attracted to each other. ”

Ah Hai was obviously very satisfied with this answer, but he still pretended to be displeased, and snorted: "It's probably not good to look for me in the middle of the night, say it quickly." ”

Rather than bitterness, he replied slowly: "It's not a good thing, but it's not a bad thing either." The old rules, I'm still coming to you to ask about something. ”

"......" Ah Hai took a good look at Ning He in the dark, then stretched out his right hand and said coolly: "Old rules." However, one hundred taels of sons, I have to kindly remind you that if you choose this extraordinary period to inquire about the news, the price will be doubled? ”

Ning He rolled his palm into a fist and said boldly: "It's easy to say." However, Ah Hai didn't say anything at all, spread his palm again, and handed three points forward, silently looking at the person in front of him.

Looking at his appearance, if there is no money in his palm, I am afraid that he will not say a word again. But Ning He didn't retreat from the difficulty, he rolled Ah Hai's palm again, and said calmly: "The nocturnal person is light and elegant, fast and silent, and it will be cumbersome to bring so much silver taels with him, you keep the account first, and you will pay it back in the future." ”

Hai: "......"

After the expression of "why" drifted in his eyes, he turned around and wanted to leave, but was dragged by Ning He's arm.

Ning He said bitterly: "Just because you are a villager in Liantang Village, just because you are Ah Shen's brother, just because you also want to find out the truth about the repeated illnesses of the villagers in Liantang." ”

After three consecutive "It's up to you to ......", Ah Hai's footsteps and expression froze for a moment, and after a while, he slowly turned his head, faintly, "I'm not surprised when you go to Liantang Village, and I'm not surprised when you see Ah Shen, but how do you know that I am his brother?" Obviously, the two of us don't look alike at all. ”

It turned out that the young man Ning Heku and Cuibai saw in Liantang Village today was named Ah Shen, and he was also Ah Hai's younger brother.

Although the two of them are brothers, their appearances are very different. One was dark and strong, the other was pale and thin. Based on his appearance alone, no one would think that the two of them would be brothers.

Of course, Ah Hai knew that his younger brother would not casually tell others about this relationship.

He stared at Ning He and waited for an answer, his expression serious. The latter was light and light, pointing to his lower body and saying, "Because of the pants and shoes he wears." ”

Ah Hai: "?? ”

Ning Hehe continued to slowly put forward his reasoning: "You are wearing the uniform clothes, pants and shoes of the people in Jingfu. The shirt is too obvious, and you can't afford to let your brother wear it, so you give him trousers and cloth shoes that are not too obvious. He's thinner than you, and his pants are too long and too big, and so are his shoes, and his heels are empty. ”

After a pause, seeing that Ah Hai's expression was still a little frozen, he said again: "Your name is Ah Hai, his name is Ah Shen, Brother Sea Cucumber, this name is two brothers!" Hehe! It's a funny name, and it's really easy for your parents to choose a name. ”

Relying on the speculative statement that names are similar to each other to judge something is the most unreliable.

But at some point, it was inexplicably and appropriately excessive.

At this moment, Ah Hai couldn't collapse at all, and arched his hand in admiration: "I really didn't see the wrong person, Gongzi is really an extremely smart person." ”

"And of course, don't look at who I am? I'm a good-looking boy of one hundred taels! Ning He finished holding his voice arrogantly, his face changed again in an instant, and his words changed sharply, "I already know a lot about Liantang Village, but I still want you to tell me in person, after all, you are the party." ”

Ahai pulled him, limped to the small door on the side, opened the door and walked out, then leaned against the outer wall, clasped his hands on his chest, looked up at the moonless blue-gray sky, his eyes were dark, and he was silent for a long time.

Ning He knew that this would be a grief-stricken and unbearable memory, and Ah Hai needed a relatively safe and relaxed environment to recall this heartache.

"Five years ago, autumn was the time when the crabs were plump. One evening, when my father and I returned from fishing, we saw my grandfather and my nine-year-old brother lying in the hall, foaming at the mouth, weak and trembling limbs. As soon as we put them to bed, I went to the city to ask for Langzhong.

Unexpectedly, I met many neighbors on the road, all of whom were in the same situation as my family, and everyone combined to see more than 200 elderly and weak women and children from more than 100 families in the village, all of whom were not spared.

The matter became serious, and everyone suspected that someone was poisoning, so they sent someone to invite Lang Zhong here, and someone over there went to sue Li Yin, and Li Yin told the county.

Subsequently, almost all the Langzhong in the city poured out of the nest, and after a busy treatment of acupuncture, everyone was free to die, and the next day they returned to normal and moved freely.

Although no one lost their lives because of this, the incident was so important that the county magistrate at that time still sent people to investigate more than a month, but in the end nothing was found out, and nothing was done.

A month later, just when everyone thought that the incident was a thing of the past, those who had been sick before began to get sick one after another, and the symptoms were exactly the same as the first time.

Then, the Lang Zhong came to the village again, and after another tossing and turning and busy acupuncture, all the patients fell asleep and returned to normal again after waking up.

Since then, after a while, they will relapse into old diseases, and in order to treat their families and take care of the sick, they have reduced the number of times they go to sea to fish, and their income has also decreased.

Then, there was another natural disaster, and after a storm, the houses in the village collapsed nine times out of ten.

The fishermen's families were already poor, and the house leak happened to rain overnight, and after coming and going, most of the rice jars in the house had bottomed out, not only making ends meet, but also paying off the debts. Everyone in the village was panicked, prayed to God and Buddha, and worked hard to support them.

When he was desperate and helpless, Lin Xianling helped the villagers raise money, not only to help repair the collapsed village houses, but also to invite Langzhong from all over the country to come for consultation. It is said that if anyone can diagnose and cure what the cause is, the yamen will be rewarded.

Later, all the Lang Zhong who came for diagnosis and treatment were helpless and returned in a huff.

Just when everyone was desperate, there was a man named Huang Jinren in our county, who claimed that he had developed a pill called "Liuwei Yiqi Pill", which could control and slowly cure the strange diseases of the villagers.

This Huang Jinren is usually not good at medical treatment, and he is lazy to do it, so everyone didn't believe his words much.

But who knows, when he was sick in the village, he gave a free pill, and all of them were cured. After resting for a while, I immediately recovered again. ”

Ning He said bitterly: It turns out that what the weasel said turned out to be true. But...... He was originally not good at medicine, so was there a master behind him? Or did you hit it by mistake? Or ......

He looked at the heavy Ah Hai, and did not ask, but waited for him to ease up.

Ah Hai paused for a long time, his face became heavier and heavier, but he still remained silent. Ning Heku expressed the speculation in his heart: "Although this pill can immediately relieve the patient's symptoms, it cannot completely cure the pain. Moreover, this pill should still be very expensive, and if you take it for a long time, it will be a huge burden for the already poor family, so in the end, there is no way out, right? ”

Ah Hai nodded silently vigorously, his eyes were complicated, his mouth sneered, and he said bitterly: "At this moment, there is a middle-aged fisherman in the village who risked his life to catch a phoenix snail from the deep sea, and from the belly of the snail opened a colorful and huge conch bead.

Conch beads are treasures in the sea, rare and rare, and some fishermen have never seen one in their lifetimes. Therefore, the richest man in the city bought this pearl with 1,000 gold and 10 quintals of rice, which solved the fisherman's urgent need at once. 1,000 gold and 10 quintals of rice are enough for the patients in his family to buy pills for three years......"
