Chapter 185: Clue Found
Looking at this old man in front of me, I only felt that his face was kind, and there was no such horror at all.
The old man bowed to me: "I heard your master tell us our story, little old man wants you to say sorry, little old man, I definitely won't rely on the old man and sell the old like that." ”
Naturally, I understood, and nodded.
The old man said that he came to beg Liu Ruxiang to take action, and wanted to ask Liu Ruxiang or the Liu family to save his wife.
His wife is over 80 years old this year, and he has not had a few years, and he has no energy to go up the mountain to collect medicine every day.
Liu Ruxiang heard the words and thought with a frown.
After a long time, Liu Ruxiang nodded.
"It's naturally okay to save people, but our Liu family always has rules for people."
Speaking of which, the old man also understood. If he wasn't ready, how could he dare to come to Liujia Village?
However, what was laughable was that he took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, and then untied the rope on it little by little, and took out a stack of money from it.
The stack of money was all big red bills, and looking at some of the old colors, you could know how long the old man had been saving, maybe it was someone's coffin.
I looked at Liu Ruxiang and was a little curious about how to solve this.
There was a trace of embarrassment on the old man's face: "I know the rules, but the little old man can only come up with so much money, and when the New Year comes, I will go to my daughter's house to ask for some, how about it?" ”
Liu Ruxiang looked at the old man's body.
The thin clothes were already a little shabby, and there was even a tear in the pants. There is also a patch on the gown on the upper body.
In these days, patches are extremely rare.
Liu Ruxiang sighed: "Old man, is there nothing else valuable and useful?" It's not that I can't do it for you, it's just that we can't do it with less pay. ”
The old man's eyes were dizzy, and tears were about to flow from his cloudy eyes.
Liu Ruxiang looked at it like this, and felt uneasy in her heart, and when she was about to nod her head in agreement, she heard the old man say: "I don't have anything valuable at home, but my little old man heard about one thing, did your Liu family attack a beast before?" That thing is called a ghoul? ”
Liu Ruxiang's eyes lit up.
"Yes, of course, that vicious dog attacked the people in my village and almost killed them."
But seeing this little old man, he smiled and said: "That's right, I don't know if your Liu family is interested in that vicious dog, my little old man not only knows that the dog usually operates there, but even knows who the dog used to belong to and where it came from." ”
As soon as the old man said this, Liu Ruxiang smiled happily.
"The old man plans to use this news as a reward?"
The old man nodded.
"Naturally."
Liu Ruxiang was very satisfied and readily agreed.
"That vicious dog is very harmful, and I can't get rid of it for a day, but I haven't seen it since, and I don't know how to find it, so I let the beast have a chance to breathe."
The old man stroked his beard and asked, "Dare to ask, did that vicious dog break a tail, did it break in this Liujia Village?" ”
Listening to the old man's description, Liu Ruxiang was even more sure that the old man had really seen the vicious dog.
And it has been seen in the near future, otherwise, it is unlikely to say anything about the change in the dog's tail docking.
I recalled that dog, because he pretended to be my aunt, asked me a few words, and finally Liu Ruxiang saw through it and cut off his tail with a sword.
That vicious dog! I gritted my teeth because I really wanted to see the dog killed.
Soon, Liu Ruxiang and I simply packed up some things, and then called Uncle Peng and asked him to send us to the old man's house.
As soon as I got out of the car, I heard a heart-rending wail.
"Ahh
"Ahh
An old man suffers from some kind of pain and finally roars.
She howled in pain, and through the courtyard wall, I vaguely seemed to see the image of this old woman clenching her teeth, life worse than death.
The old man panicked as soon as he got out of the car, and hurriedly beckoned me and Liu Ruxiang to come over, he took out the key from a hollow brick at the door, opened the door, and then hurried into the house.
Liu Ruxiang and I didn't carry anything down, and followed closely behind.
The old couple lived in a two-room old tiled house, with two low mud houses on both sides, one of which was faintly cracked, which was considered a dilapidated house.
When I entered the house, there was a mess everywhere, and there was not much furniture, so I felt very poor.
We followed the old man's steps to the bedroom, and immediately saw a man lying on the bed.
The old woman was tied to the bed with her hands and feet tied, her hands were clenched tightly, her hair was unkempt, her gray hair was messy, and some of them were clumped and looked very sloppy.
The old lady clenched her teeth, and a lot of blood was oozing from her mouth.
"Ahh
"Uh-"
The old woman's screams reached my ears, and it felt particularly harsh.
The old man looked at his wife like this, looked apologetic, turned his head and said to Liu Ruxiang: "I've only been away from home for half a day, and it's like this, wait here, I'll go get some medicine." ”
The old man ran out quickly, and came to the little mud house opposite, which was probably the kitchen, and in a short time he saw smoke coming from the chimney.
When the old man was gone, the old woman seemed to be in even more pain, and struggled incessantly on the bed, and the red marks were strangled from her hands and feet.
Liu Ruxiang sighed, took out a pack of silver needles from her body, and then asked me to lift the clothes on the old woman's stomach.
Liu Ruxiang saw the opportunity, and after finding the right position, an afterimage appeared in her hand, and in almost a few breaths, the old woman's stomach was pierced with three silver needles.
As soon as the silver needle was pierced, the old woman stopped struggling, as if she was much more comfortable, and her mouth was panting evenly.
"Hmm-hmm-"
The old woman turned her head to look at Liu Ruxiang and looked at her deeply, and I could feel her gratitude from that gaze.
After a while, the old man returned from the kitchen, with in his hand a hot night's steaming potion of potions, pitch black, and a strong smell of herbs.
My eyes widened, and the old woman picked up the big bowl of hot potion and drank it up.
