Sha Danju and Blind Tou Han left Yunwu Mountain and returned to Yuelai Inn, and it was already the fourth watch.

The next day, it began to drizzle in the sky.

The drizzle was carried by the mountain wind, flying everywhere, covering the land of Longshan.

After dusk, the warriors who came from Chang'an to chase Zhang Shaofei returned to the Yuelai Inn one after another. Exhausted and falling apart, they entered the room with their hands and legs spread out, lying on their backs on the bed, breathing heavily. For days there is nothing, and the most patient will lose patience.

Suddenly, the blind man hurriedly ran back from outside, gasped, and said, "Yes...... There's news......"

Sha Danju and Wei Jue, the vice captain who came with him this time, sat up from the bed reflexively.

Sha Danju was acting according to the script agreed with Blind Touhan, and asked: "Blind Touhan, what is the news of being so angry?" ”

Blind Han gasped and said, "I...... I learned about Zhang Shaofei's mother in Taizhen Village......"

Zhang Shaofei's mother has been missing for a long time in Taizhen Village for no reason, and when she heard the news of her, Sha Danju didn't wait for the blind head to finish speaking, so he interjected: "Zhang Shaofei's mother is back?" ”

Blind Man nodded: "Yes, I'm back from outside." ”

Sha Dan Juhuo jumped up from the bed and said to Wei Jue: "Okay, let's go to Taizhen Village now, catch her, and then check Zhang Shaofei's whereabouts." ”

Wei Jue picked up the machete placed at the head of the bed: "Okay!" Let's go now! ”

The blind man waved his hand: "Don't worry, listen to me finish talking first." ”

Sha Danju urged: "Tell me quickly! ”

Blind Tou Han shook his head and said, "Zhang Shaofei's mother returned to the village with illness, and I heard that she used to hide in a relative's house in the depths of Yunwu Mountain a few days ago, and died not long after she came back. ”

Sha Danju waved his hand and didn't believe it: "Zhang Shaofei's mother died as soon as she returned to the village?" How could such a coincidence occur? ”

Wei Jue's eyes were also full of doubts: "This is fake, right?" ”

"I heard from her neighbor that she was hiding in the mountains at a relative's house and was seriously ill, with a fever and headache, a limp and a pale red maculopapular rash on her skin, and she really couldn't support it and didn't want to die at her relative's house before returning to her home." Later, I also heard the cries of her younger brother, Zhang Shaofei's uncle and aunt. ”

"Blind man, let me ask you, do you know what kind of disease that old woman has?" Sha Danju asked deliberately.

The blind man's voice was still so loud: "Typhoid fever!" And it was an emergency with typhoid fever. ”

As soon as he heard that it was typhoid fever, Wei Jue couldn't help but shudder: "You heard it right, right?" ”

Blind Touhan: "You can't get it wrong. ”

Wei Jue's heart tightened: "I haven't seen typhoid fever, let alone understand it." However, I heard that the disease is very contagious. ”

Sha Danju saw that Wei Jue had already taken the bait, and added oil and vinegar to the side: "Yes, in the summer of three years ago, someone in my hometown village suffered from typhoid fever, because everyone did not pay attention to protection, the result was spread ten, ten to hundred, many people were infected, and within more than a month, the whole village died at once. ”

Wei Jue talked about typhoid fever: "Yo, such a terrible infectious disease!" ”

Sha Danju asked the blind man: "Since the old woman died of typhoid fever, have you heard that when will she be funeral?" ”

Blind Han: "I heard from the people in the village that the date of the funeral is set for the day after tomorrow. ”

Wei Jue: "So fast? Did you hear it wrong? ”

The blind man pointed to his ears: "My ears are smart, how can I hear it wrong." I asked a few people in the village. They all said that they were most afraid of delaying, afraid that the virus would spread to other villagers, and at that time, it would be too late for everyone to dodge, so the sooner the funeral day, the better. ”

"Ah, I see?!" Sha Danju slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Brothers, this is a good opportunity for us to make a contribution." ”

Wei Jue turned his head and asked Sha Danju: "Brother Sha, why do you say that?" ”

Sha Danju analyzed reasonably: "People say that Zhang Shaofei is a dutiful son, if he is really hidden in Taishan, he will definitely go back to the village to attend the funeral and send his mother on his last journey." ”

Wei Jue also had a smile on his face after hearing this: "That day, we laid a net around us, just waiting for him to come in, and then we will be caught." As he spoke, he made a grappling motion.

Sha Danju nodded: "Yes, that's what I meant." Brother Wei Jue, this time you came with me. ”

Wei Jue proudly used the question to hit back at Sha Danju: "Hmph, my brain has never been stupid, but I am prejudiced and look down on me on weekdays." ”

Sha Danju laughed: "This time we are heroes, we see the same thing!" ”

Sha Danju and Wei Jue told the warriors about the "death of Zhang Shaofei's mother" and the strategy to capture Zhang Shaofei, and told everyone to get ready.

The day after tomorrow, the drizzle is drizzling and the mountain wind is slanting. The land was shrouded in rain and mist, and it was confusing.

In Taizhen Village, the suona eight sounds of the funeral sounded, and the sound of mourning reverberated over Taizhen Village.

A group of people dressed in linen and filial piety, crying and crying, holding paper flags, walked out of the village, and sure enough, someone was at the funeral.

Zhang Shaofei's family is sparsely populated, except for a few coffin-carrying workers, only Zhang Shaofei's uncle, aunt and some friends next door, and more than a dozen people.

As they walked, they scattered the paper into the sky.

The dark paper fluttered in the wind and rain, and fell leisurely on the field, stained with mud.

Sha Danju and Wei Jue led the warriors who had already assigned their respective positions, and ambushed behind the woods and bushes around Taizhen Village, waiting for Zhang Shaofei to appear.

They stretched their necks and saw that the funeral procession had left the village and walked towards Taishan, but they couldn't see any trace of Zhang Shaofei.

Wei Jue muttered, "What's going on?" ”

Sha Danju came up with a plan to capture and indulge: "Brother Wei Jue, could it be that the people in Zhang Shaofei's family know that we are stationed near Taishan and want to arrest him." Zhang Shaofei's mother is not actually dead, but she deliberately released a rumor to confuse us? ”

"Yo, Brother Sha, you're right. Our minds should have turned a few more turns, and what should we do now? Wei Jue suddenly became enlightened.

Sha Danju has been with Wei Jue for many years, knowing that he has always been fierce and selfish, the benefits are reaped by himself first, and the bad things are borne by others, so he stretched out his finger, pointed to the coffin, and said: "Whether it is true or false, we have to go to verify and confirm." lest they be deceived and deceived. ”

Wei Jue looked serious: "Yes." ”

Sha Danju stretched out his hand to the funeral procession and said, "My brothers and I are still in ambush behind this tree, Brother Wei Jue, you go forward, open the coffin, and carefully check whether it contains the body of Zhang Shaofei's mother." But when you go forward, you have to cover your nose with a thick cloth, for fear that those typhoid germs will fly around and provoke you. ”

"You told me to go and lift the coffin to check the certification?" Sha Danju's last sentence really hit Wei Jue's death hole, he blinked his eyes and waved his hand violently, "No, no!" Joke and find the second one. Brother Sha, you better send someone else on this errand. ”

Sha Danju: "So, which do you think is the best one to send?" ”

Wei Jue looked around, his eyes fell on the blind man's body, his heart was touched, and he said, "Just call that blind man to go." You and I both know that he is an honest man, and it is only fitting to send him. ”

Sha Danju was overjoyed when he saw Wei Jue coming in according to the trap he set, but he didn't show it, and his tone was a little praised: "Brother Wei Jue, you have a point. It would indeed be the most appropriate to send this blind man there. ”

Sha Danju beckoned Blind Touhan to come to the front and said, "Brother Wei Jue and I are most afraid that they have a fraudulent plan, you go to the funeral procession over there, open the coffin, and see if there is really the body of Zhang Shaofei's mother inside." ”

"This ......" played this double reed play, and the blind head Han had already agreed with Sha Danju on the "lines", showing a very reluctant look on his face, but pointed at Wei Jue, "Brother Sha, I think it is most appropriate for Brother Wei Jue to come forward to verify." ”

Wei Jue saw that this usually clumsy blind man actually named himself, took his own army, sank his face, and scolded: "Since Brother Sha appointed you to go, it is a great trust in you, you should obey the order to go, don't ramble here anymore and bargain." ”

Sha Danju also wrenched his face, and his voice was non-negotiable: "Yes, blind man, go quickly, don't be verbose." ”

Blind Tou Han was scratched by the tigress's claws in Yunwu Mountain a few days ago, fortunately, Zhang Shaofei picked the herbs to stop bleeding on the spot and put them on him, so that his wound was saved from inflammation, and now Wei Jue ordered him with a calm face, and Sha Danju made an appointment with him to perform a double reed play, so he had to dodge out from behind the bushes, holding a big knife, and walked to the front of the funeral procession with a staggering step, and shouted: "Stop!" ”

After Zhang Shaofei made up his mind that day, he had asked someone to go down the mountain to inform his uncle Wang Ronggen of this "plan to hide from the sky and cross the sea." At this time, Wang Ronggen knew how to come forward, wiped the tears that flowed on his cheeks, and said sadly: "What's the matter, I have no relatives with you, and you also came to give my sister a ride?" ”

The blind man pretended to be menacing: "Phew! Great auspicious event. I'm asking you to stop and let me check. ”

Zhang Shaofei's uncle pretended to be stunned and said: "Our family is dead, and we still have to check, what do you want to check?" ”

"Don't salivate more than tea!" The blind man pointed to the coffin, and his voice was like thunder, "I want to check the dead people in here." ”

Zhang Shaofei's uncle saw that the comer twisted his eyebrows and raised his eyes, his voice was as loud as thunder, and the knife in his hand flashed with cold light, and said helplessly: "Master, if you insist on checking, just do whatever you want." He waved his hand and asked him to put the coffin down and lift the lid of the coffin.

The coffin was very simple, made of several bed boards improvised and nailed together. The coffin contained several large stones arranged in an arrangement, and a white cloth was placed on top of it.

The blind man stepped forward, pinched his nose tightly with his hand, and looked down a few steps away from the coffin, looking like he was looking like a whole color and water, in order to show Wei Jue and other warriors who were ambushed in the dark.

After a while, he frowned and deliberately shouted loudly, "Ouch! Then he turned around, limped away, came to Sha Danju and Wei Jue, spit on the ground again and again, and shouted: "That old woman's death is too ugly, too ugly...... Brother Sha, let's go up and take a look again. ”

"What's so good about the dead ghost who has typhoid fever, I'll leave a life to return to the court." Of course, Sha Danju cooperated with the acting, and after waving his hand, he turned his head sideways and said to Wei Jue beside him, "Brother Wei Jue, I'm most afraid that the blind man will not be careful enough, so I'd better trouble you to go up and check again." ”

"No, no. There is a saying that hearing is false, and seeing is believing. Just now, you and I both saw the blind man go up and open the coffin for verification. The whole team of us decided that Blind Man was the most honest person. As soon as Wei Jue heard that he was going to push him to the coffin over there to review, he waved his hand and retorted, and finally, he complained with a gloomy face, "Brother Sha, you, you don't introduce good things to me on weekdays, but today you use this typhoid fungus dead person to annoy me." ”

After the blind man left, he closed the lid of the coffin again and lifted the coffin. Suona and other eight-tone mourning music sounded again, and the funeral procession continued to move forward, walking in the direction of Taishan, and the mourning sound of suona gradually disappeared in the depths of Taishan.

Don't look at this blind man who is usually stupid, but he acted so well in this double reed play, Sha Danju was overjoyed in his heart, and asked Wei Jue: "I see that Zhang Shaofei did not sneak back to Taizhen in Qiu County, otherwise his mother would definitely come up if she died." If we wait here like fools any longer, will we not be wasting our lives and money? Why don't we leave tomorrow and return to the Chang'an Imperial Court. ”

Wei Jue didn't know what to do, so he nodded in agreement: "Brother Sha, you have a point, we can go back this time, and we can confidently give up with Prime Minister Guan." ”

Sha Danju moved his hand back and shouted: "Close!" ”

These warriors from Chang'an came to camp near Taishan, they couldn't get used to eating the food here, and they couldn't stand the hot and humid weather here. Some people have scabies on their skin, and the itching is unstoppable. The local people knew that they were here to hunt down Zhang Shaofei from Taizhen Village, and they were cold to them, and many people gave them blank eyes. These warriors went up the mountain and into the water, came in the wind, went in the rain, searched day and day, looked for it night and night, threw off a lot of foot hair, broke the foot bones, but Zhang Shaofei's trace was like a yellow crane, the days were long, everyone was disheartened, lost morale, and wanted to end this period of pursuit and kill for a long time, and returned to Chang'an. At this time, he heard the captain Sha Danju announce that he could embark on the journey home tomorrow, so everyone was overjoyed, eager to grow wings and fly back to Chang'an City.

This group of samurai has been stationed near Taishan for so long, and now they have to "go home" empty-handed.
