Chapter 64
After the boat had been gone for a while, the boatman had cooked the food, and two men brought a table from outside and put it in the middle of the crowd.
The inside of the cabin is quite spacious, and the table is a long and large table, and everyone has food in front of them, but it takes a lot of effort to eat far enough.
The two middle-aged women were the first to pick up the chopsticks, but they did not move the dishes immediately, thinking that they were used to it at home on weekdays, and they had to wait for the man to move the chopsticks first.
Seeing that no one moved his chopsticks, the bearded merchant waited for a while, after all, there were older old people here.
The old man with leg disease didn't seem to have much appetite, and said let everyone eat first, and he would talk about it later.
Sitting by the cabin door, the little girl gave the grandfather a bowl of vegetables, and the old man took it with trembling hands, saying that the little girl should eat it too, but the little girl did not move the chopsticks again.
Seeing that someone was moving chopsticks, the couple leaning in, the man first put a bowl of food for his wife.
The scholar seemed to be asleep just now, the book was buttoned on his face, and he didn't move when the food came up. When he saw that he was asleep, no one called him.
Long Shengjing went to call the man who fell asleep in Tongpu, but what the two said was not clear to others, in short, the man still didn't move, and Long Shengjing came back by himself.
Lu Chuan and the others are good drinkers, and if they don't drink for three minutes, I'm afraid no one will have the heart to move their chopsticks.
Counting the chopsticks that the two middle-aged women picked up first, they were the last to put down the chopsticks.
Lu Chuan and Ye Wuxia had only drunk two bowls of wine, and the third bowl had just been poured, when suddenly there was an exclamation from the side, and I saw that the one of the two women leaning on the cabin door suddenly choked his neck, and his face suddenly turned purple.
Before everyone could react, the one in the back also let out an exclamation, just like her companion.
As soon as Long Shengjing pressed his hand on the table, he turned over to the two women and grabbed their wrists.
Lu Chuan hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Long Shengjing shook his head slowly, "It's dead." ”
The couple in the back screamed, the little girl at the door covered her mouth in fright, the bearded merchant's wrist trembled, the chopsticks fell on the board, and the rest of the people were surprised, only the scholar still did not move, and the patient in the shop did not move.
At this time, the boatman outside heard the movement inside and pushed the door and walked in, and before he could react, Long Shengjing went up and grabbed his wrist and sneered: "What a thief, you dare to poison the dish!"
Long Shengjing's words were heard clearly by everyone present, and those who were still holding vegetable bowls in their hands threw the bowls on the table one after another, and the bearded businessman Jia even put his hand in his mouth and picked it up.
Long Shengjing was just about to stop it, the bearded merchant's body curled up on the ground suddenly stopped moving, Long Shengjing kicked lightly with his toes, and the merchant fell on the board, under the dim light, his eyes bulged out, his mouth was wide open, and his fingers were still in his mouth, but the seven orifices were bleeding and he was already dead.
There was another scream in the cabin, and the couple in the back, as well as the old man with a leg problem, began to get up and prepare to run out.
Long Shengjing dodged to block the hatch, holding the shipowner with his body like chaff in his hand, and said: "No one is allowed to leave the hatch until I am sure who poisoned him!"
As he spoke, his eyes swept over everyone present, and everyone present suddenly fell silent, but no one had the heart to eat anymore.
Long Shengjing said to Ye Wuxia: "Senior Brother Ye, I'm tired of you looking at them, I'll go outside and take a look." ”
Lu Chuan pressed the table and jumped to the hatch, "I'll go too." ”
Long Shengjing did not object, the three of them went outside the ship together, and looked around the deck cabin, a ship owner, seven ship men, and many people on board, but in their residence, they found some blades and ropes and other things, and some medicine bottles.
It can be seen that this ship is a black ship, but the owner of the ship even kowtowed, only saying that it had nothing to do with him.
Long Shengjing waved his hand and motioned for him to go out.
Lu Chuan was a little puzzled: "You believe this?"
Long Shengjing shook his head and said: "I don't believe what he says, but my own eyes, I detained his pulse as soon as he came in, it is impossible for him to poison the bearded merchant." ”
"He didn't kill the bearded merchant, what about the poison in the dish?"
While talking to him, Long Shengjing opened those medicine bottles and checked them one by one, until he checked the last medicine bottle, he replied: "These medicines, except for the sweat medicine, are the medicine for treating red and white injuries, and there is no poison in the three people in the cabin at all. And I've seen all the pots and pans on the deck, and there is no poison in the dishes, at least except for the two aunts, there is no poison in the dishes eaten by others. ”
"Since the poisoner is in the cabin, it's easy to do. ”
Long Shengjing stood up and said with a smile: "Oh, could it be that the little northern demon already knows who the poisoner is?"
"I don't know yet, but a search will tell you. ”
"Search?hahaha, it is worthy of being the descendant of the dragon killer in a rage, and you dare to say this. The people in the cabin are all famous swordsmen, can they willingly let you search?"
"I'm sure I'll search for the others, but it's hard to say if you, Brother Long, are the only ones I can say. ”
"Are you suspicious of me?"
"Aren't you the one you should be most suspicious of?"
"I didn't poison it. ”
"But I still want to search. As he spoke, Lu Chuan's sword was lifted up half a foot.
I don't want Long Shengjing to laugh and say, "I can search for me, but I also want to search for you." ”
"Search me, okay, you just have to come and search. ”
Long Shengjing was not modest, took two steps forward, and stretched out his hand to reach into Lu Chuan's arms.
Just when he immediately touched Lu Chuan's clothes, Lu Chuan made a move, and the five fingers of his left hand turned blue, and grabbed Long Shengjing's wrist.
Long Shengjing didn't stop his hand, turned his palm, and grabbed Lu Chuan's wrist.
Lu Chuan immediately formed a fist with four fingers, raised his thumb, and pointed at Long Shengjing's Shenmen acupoint.
Long Shengjing also concocted the same method, and the two changed three or four techniques in an instant.
In the end, the two hands were held together, if it weren't for the right hand and the left hand, it would be like two old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
But this is far from the end, Lu Chuan's palm flipped, Long Shengjing also flipped over, no one broke away from the other party, but Lu Chuan's hand was below, Long Shengjing's hand was on top, and the two of them were more energetic.
Long Shengjing's eyes became more and more fierce, Lu Chuan's face began to turn from red to white, and suddenly Lu Chuan raised his hand, and his right hand holding the sword formed a fist and hit Long Shengjing in the chest.
There was a bang, and the two of them took half a step back, quickly stabilizing their figures.
After staring at each other for a long time, Long Shengjing praised: "The dragon killer in a rage is really extraordinary. ”
Lu Chuan also praised: "Brother Long is still better, but I still want to learn your whip technique." As he spoke, the sword pointed downward diagonally, showing a starting hand.
Long Shengjing's hand was pressed to his waist, he suddenly smiled, and put it down again, "Now is not the time for the two of us to fight hard, let's go find the person who poisoned us." ”
Lu Chuan smiled and said, "You can't get out." ”
Although he was smiling, his face was full of fierceness.
Long Shengjing shook his head helplessly, and suddenly, the belt spread out and turned into a long whip raised, and with a whip sound, it wrapped around Lu Chuan's neck like a python spitting out a letter.
Lu Chuan had been waiting for him to make a move, his body was short, the arrow shot out, and he went straight to Long Shengjing with a sword.
The whip is long, and he has no chance of winning outside of one zhang.
Long Shengjing's whip seemed to be able to turn, but with a flick of his wrist, he turned around and continued to come towards Lu Chuan.
Seeing that Lu Chuan's sword was about to stab Long Shengjing in the chest, he saw that the corners of Long Shengjing's mouth were slightly upturned, and with a force in his hand, Lu Chuan's sword and Lu Chuan's body stopped.
The long whip wrapped around Lu Chuan's left arm, bypassing the iron hook of the rope hanging on the boat board behind Lu Chuan, and tightly held it in Long Shengjing's hand.
At this time, Lu Chuan couldn't move, as long as Long Shengjing made a move, he would definitely die.
Long Shengjing's left hand slowly raised and nodded towards Lu Chuan's forehead.
At this moment, Lu Chuan suddenly smiled coldly, leaned forward and moved back half a foot, his left arm slammed into force, Long Shengjing stood unsteadily, and actually threw himself at the tip of the Zixiao Silver Moon Sword.
Long Shengjing was taken aback, immediately retracted his right hand, raised his body back, raised his leg and kicked Lu Chuan's right wrist.
However, this hand was also in Lu Chuan's calculations, his legs came first, and his toes were a little at the foot of Long Shengjing, Long Shengjing suddenly felt a numbness in his left leg, and all the strength on his leg was dissipated, if it wasn't for the whip in his right hand, I am afraid that he would have to stand unsteadily.
But his whip had to be let go, because Lu Chuan's sword was in front of him. As long as the moment you let go, you can dodge Lu Chuan's sword with a hard waist and a flip back.
But he didn't think that the whip was a constraint for him, and it was also for Lu Chuan. Lu Chuan suddenly moved freely, took a step forward, fought hard to hit Long Shengjing's kick, and pressed Long Shengjing's lower abdomen with his palm.
Long Shengjing raised his hand to block, but the reaction force of this block just pressed down the air he was lifting up.
Not only did he fail to turn back, but he also fell down.
His foot struck Lu Chuan's waist and abdomen, and Lu Chuan's sword was stuck in his ear, the blade of which was less than an inch from his ear.
Lu Chuan shouldn't have deviated by this inch, but he still deviated.
Long Shengjing's kick hit Lu Chuan's Guan Yuan acupoint, but the internal force couldn't penetrate the closed acupoint of the Crane Gong after all.
Lu Chuan stood up and said, "This time it's a draw." After speaking, he turned around and walked up, and his back was exposed to Long Shengjing, and he was not afraid of him behind his back, or he was expecting him to do it behind his back.
Long Shengjing muttered, "What a difficult opponent. As he spoke, he jumped up from the ground, picked up his belt and wrapped it around his waist, and then followed.
