Chapter 51: Two Feet More
Song Tao was preoccupied, and walked home.
Like Hua Eryi cadres have been evil in Zichuan City for a long time, but they belong to the officers and soldiers, even the county commander Wang Shunying has nothing to do with them, these officers and soldiers in the city are arrogant and domineering, ordinary people can only suffer from this, today these officers and soldiers died together, it is a great thing for the entire Zichuan.
And these soldiers died for no reason, and there were no injuries on their bodies, and the people saw with their own eyes that they took the road to Yinsi, and these words were said together, Wang Shunying did not hold the people next to him accountable after reading the handwriting.
It's just that after being delayed by this, Song Tao's idea of following behind Su Yang to solve his confusion stopped, and the sea of people was vast, and he didn't know where to go to find Su Yang again.
When he was on the road, Song Tao saw a person in the corner of his eye, his scalp was numb in an instant, and there was a chill behind him, but he stood solemnly, looked at this person and looked at him, and said deeply, "Sir." ”
The person called Mr. by Song Tao had a pale face, a pale beard and dry hair, and after seeing Song Tao, he just nodded slightly, did not speak, and walked over.
Song Tao kept looking at this person until this person left him, and then he took a heavy breath.
When he saw him lately, he always had an indescribable fear in his heart.
"So this dead man is your husband. ”
Su Yang's voice came from behind Song Tao.
Song Tao suddenly turned around, only to see Su Yang wearing a thin shirt and holding a world-honored demon fan in his hand, and beside Su Yang was the bright girl.
"Hades!"
Song Tao bowed deeply to Su Yang, raised his head and shouted, "Hades save me!"
Su Yang nodded lightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to a tea stall in the distance, and went with Song Tao, and when he arrived at the tea stall, Su Yang and Song Tao sat down separately, while Shangguan Xiang'er did not sit at the same table with the man, took the Shizun Demon Removal Fan in his hand, stood beside Su Yang, and gently fanned the fan.
The two sat down, Song Tao drank a bowl of hot tea first, and then felt a little more warmth in his chest, and told Su Yang about his recent dream.
"Mr. named Liu Zhu, is a Jinshi background, once had a prominent official position, just because of greed for money, did a few greedy for money, after being exposed, was the first emperor to go to the official position, demoted to ordinary people, back to our Zichuan, on the teaching of Mr., although a lot of money, but Mr. after all has real talent and learning, we follow Mr., there are many benefits. ”
Song Tao said to Su Yang: "Mr. in the past was not so indifferent, although Mr. he had the shortcomings of greedy for small gains, but he was kind, entertaining, and soft-hearted, even if they lived poorly, and they were eager to learn, although Mr. never admitted them to the study, but often instructed them in private...... It wasn't until nine days ago that the gentleman's temperament changed. ”
Cold sweat appeared on Song Tao's forehead, and he said: "Now sir, he is very indifferent, he doesn't agree with a word in the school, and he often beats people, just like yesterday, Guo Hao only remembered one word wrong, and his hands and face were swollen, and his mouth was even more swollen, which was never done before." ”
"The gentleman's eyes were dark, and the spots on his hands were the ones I had seen in my dead father. ”
After Song Tao's father died, he was buried in the house for a long time because he watched the day, and Song Tao kept a vigil in front of him every night and saw many things.
It's like the corpse spots that appear on the hands of people after they die, and the dark and dull eyes.
These left an extremely deep impression on Song Tao.
And these are now seen in the body of "Liu Zhu".
Su Yang nodded, that's right, Liu Zhu is already a dead man now, and he sees this very clearly.
"Just nine days ago, I dreamed that my husband was looking for me to collect my debts. ”
Song Tao shrunk his shoulders, as if he felt a chill down his spine, and said: "The gentleman in the dream broke his head and bled out, glared at Tao and said, if it weren't for Tao, he would never let him stumble to death, and he would have asked Tao to burn 20,000 paper money for him, and invite the monk to overdo it, but he was only a white-clothed showman, this collar covered the front and couldn't take care of the back, how could he burn 20,000 paper money? ”
Su Yang smiled and nodded.
Song Tao's problems are two, that is, his "living" teacher and his dead teacher.
Every night when he sleeps, Song Tao will dream of his dead teacher, this teacher will ask him for paper money, and when Song Tao goes to school, he will meet this "living" teacher, according to Song Tao, after hearing the paper money, the teacher directly slapped him, screaming nonsense.
"How did you cause your husband to stumble to death?"
Su Yang asked Song Taodao.
Song Tao shook his head when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "It would be good if Tao understood this reason, I don't know how to make him stumble to death." ”
Su Yang thought for a while, and then asked, "When was the last time you saw that ordinary Liu Zhu?"
Song Tao heard this, thought about it, and replied after a while: "It should be ten days ago, at the door of Brother Zhang's grocery store, Brother Zhang is my neighbor, our two families are good, I don't charge him money for the couplets of the New Year's Festival, and I go to Brother Zhang's grocery store to get some daily necessities, Brother Zhang often doesn't charge me money, that day I got a rolling pin from Brother Zhang, and when I paid, the two of us pushed each other for a while, and Brother Zhang collected the money." ”
"When I got out, I ran into Mr. ”
Song Tao recalled: "At that time, the gentleman was very happy, after seeing me, he also talked a lot to me, encouraged me to study hard, work hard, and wait until this autumn to get ahead, we talked for a while, I was in a hurry to go home, so I said goodbye, since then Mr. has changed, and in my dreams will be like I want to account." ”
Su Yang nodded, stood up, and said to Song Tao, "Let's go, let's go to the grocery store and see what your teacher bought that day." ”
Su Yang already knew that Liu Zhu was dead, and saw that Liu Zhu at this time was possessed by ghosts, and he was unjustly entangled, and now Song Tao happened to ask Su Yang again, and Su Yang wanted to find out where Liu Zhu's original soul was.
Song Tao immediately got up and took Su Yang and Shangguan Xiang'er towards the grocery store.
Shangguan Xiang'er followed Su Yang's side, and it was in a strange and remote place like Zichuan, sticking to Su Yang's left and right.
"Brother Su, is Liu Zhu really dead now?"
Shangguan Xiang'er doesn't practice deeply, so she can't recognize these yet, but she saw a lot of things in the Taoist scriptures of the Yuan Dao people, and said: "It's the yin soul, if you want to manifest in the daytime, you need great ability and great obsession, and if the yin soul is possessed, let the body walk arbitrarily in the daytime, like a living person, this is either a yang god, or there are rare treasures......"
Shangguan Xiang'er, who had just practiced for a short time, regarded the Yang God as an unattainable goal.
Realizing that the ghost thing in Shicai might be a yang god, Shangguan Xiang'er shuddered.
"He's not a yang god. ”
Su Yang whispered to Shangguan Xiang'er.
When Shangguan Xiang'er heard this, she put her mind at ease, this is not a yang god, that is a rare treasure, Shangguan Xiang'er looked at Su Yang again, this glance can tell whether the other party is a yang god or not, doesn't it mean that her prince brother is much stronger than others?
The three of them walked on the side of Zichuan, and soon arrived at the Zhang family's grocery store as Song Tao said.
Zhang's grocery store is not small, full of five rooms, some of these rooms are generally placed in paper, the rest are mostly some daily things, some bits and pieces, the shopkeeper who was selling the goods in his forties, with a beard on his face, saw Song Tao bring people here, and hurriedly welcomed in, the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, Song Tao asked Zhang about the situation that day.
"I remember it vividly. ”
When the shopkeeper Zhang heard this, he smiled and said: "Your husband is really a person who likes to take advantage of small things, and he stopped you from talking so much outside that day, it turned out that it was all for me to see." ”
Shopkeeper Zhang didn't know what was going on between Song Tao and Mr., and now he talked about the situation that day with a smile.
It turned out that after Liu Zhu and Song Tao were out to greet each other that day, Liu Zhu walked into the grocery store, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked for a thick rope of three feet and two feet.
The shopkeeper Zhang said: "This three-foot and two-foot thick rope was bought not long ago, and our Wu Xiucai from Zichuan also bought it, and I was deeply impressed, so I asked more [Wu Xiucai should be your student, this three-foot and two-foot rope went to him to ask for it, and he will be able to borrow you], but no, Mr. Liu had to buy another one. ”
Su Yang nodded, feeling puzzled, and asked, "What does Wu Xiucai want this rope for?"
Shopkeeper Zhang shook his head and said, "Wu Xiucai said that he went down the well and tied this rope to his waist so that he would not fall to his death." ”
A three-foot-two-foot well?
"What does Liu Zhu want this rope for?"
Su Yang asked.
The shopkeeper shook his head lightly and said: "Although Mr. is vague, most of it is the same as what Wu Xiucai did, measured the rope, and when he was about to settle the bill, Liu Zhu kept saying that he had pointed out Song Tao's article, and he was Song Tao's teacher, hoping that the price would be cheaper, so I gave it to him, but he still didn't follow, it had to be cheaper, I really couldn't give it, so I refused to say that he wouldn't do this business, so I looked at me seriously, and Mr. Liu paid the money. ”
Song Tao shook his head on the side, it turned out that the greetings that day were just to ask for a low price.
"And that's not all. ”
The shopkeeper Zhang said: "When I was cutting the rope, my husband insisted that I give him another cut, and I really didn't want to be entangled, so I gave him two more feet of rope." ”
“......”
Su Yang felt that he had solved the case.
Wu Xiucai asked for a rope of three feet and two feet, and he had to go down the well to avoid falling to his death.
Liu Zhu also wants this rope of three feet and two feet, there must be a reason, and he gave Song Tao a dream, saying that he fell to his death, probably because his safety rope was two feet more......
