Chapter 13 of the Difficulty of Shu Road (I)
Su Zhuo watched the old woman walk away, and an unspeakable melancholy rose in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 He sighed and said, "Xiaoyi, let's spend the night in this empty house tonight." It's at least much better than sleeping in the open. ”
Duan Lihua wanted to say something, but she didn't say it after all. Su Zhuo couldn't guess her thoughts, so he comforted: "With me here, what are you afraid of!" said the lead into the house.
Duan Lihua followed behind, following in unison, not daring to stay away from a single step. The two walked into a room, which was clean. Su Zhuo lit the oil lamp, and the room was a little more popular. Su Zhuo opened the baggage and suddenly said, "Xiaoyi, can you go out first?"
Duan Lihua was stunned for a moment, but said resolutely: "No! It's so scary in this house, do you want me to go out alone?"
Su Zhuo smiled helplessly: "I want to do something, you look at it like this, I'm afraid it's not good." ”
Duan Lihua saw him put the things in the baggage on the table, a few locks of beard and hair, some gouache, etc., and couldn't help laughing: "I said what are you going to do, it turns out that you want to disguise yourself! You come to attend your sweetheart's wedding, you won't even dare to show your face, right?"
Su Zhuo was robbed by her for a while, but he smiled bitterly and said: "It's a long story, but I'm disguised and disguised, and it's not that I don't have a face." ”
Duan Lihua said: "Since this is the case, then I have to stay here even more." This disguise is the same as dressing up, you are a big man, clumsy, how can you not have my help? Say, what do you want to pretend to be?"
Su Zhuo had no way to drive her out, so he had to give up and said, "When I came out of Jinling, I had a plan. I want to pretend to be a rich merchant in southern Sichuan, named Niu Degui. This person was also invited to this wedding, so it was easy to get in if you wanted to get in. ”
Duan Lihua said worriedly: "But if the real Niu Degui also goes, won't you be exposed as a fake?"
Su Zhuo smiled: "You don't have to worry about this. Niu Degui rarely shows up outside, and he doesn't make many friends. And he will never show his face! Because he was being treated very lightly by a friend of mine a while ago, and it is better to stay at home honestly and take care of his money than to come so far for a happy drink!"
Duan Lihua casually looked through a pile of things on the table, suddenly picked up a cotton bag, and said, "It seems that you are still pretending to be a fat man." Take off your clothes!"
Su Zhuo didn't expect that she didn't shy away from it at all, so she had to take the cotton bag and untie her shirt. Duan Lihua didn't mean to avoid it at all, and couldn't help but be stunned when she watched Su Zhuo take off her shirt. It turned out that Su Zhuo's strong chest was actually scarred. Duan Lihua has never seen so many scars on a person's body. The most conspicuous of these is an arrow wound on the left chest, which is only two points higher than the atrium. If it is a little off, I am afraid that the immortals will not have the power to return to the sky.
Duan Lihua reached out and gently stroked the scar left by the arrow wound, and the cold fingers made Su Zhuo shiver. Su Zhuo's old face turned red and said, "Xiaoyi, what are you doing?"
Duan Lihua was actually a little distressed, and said, "If you see the person who left you this scar, I will definitely avenge you!"
Su thought of Wei Xiu suddenly, and felt that Duan Lihua's opening of the river was a little ridiculous for a while, and then thought that in a few days, Wei Xiu was about to marry another woman, and he was inexplicably gloomy. Duan Lihua couldn't understand Su Zhuo's complicated feelings, so she went around her back and helped him tie the cotton bag to her stomach. Changing into loose clothes, Su Zhuo did show a big belly.
Duan Lihua pressed him on the chair again and began to change his face for Su Zhuo. There was a human skin mask in the baggage, which was made by Su Shutuo Yan Linglong. Although Yan Linglong can learn the skills of her teacher Ye Shao, she also pretends to be a person that everyone is not familiar with, which is very simple. Duan Lihua put the mask on Su Zhuo's face, and filled it with some flour and cotton, and after a while, the originally handsome face became fat, big, eared, and bearded.
Su Zhuo looked at himself in the mirror and was amazed. It was his first time in disguise, and it was inevitable that there would be some novelty. Duan Lihua smiled: "If you don't have me, how can you be so fast?"
Su Zhuo touched his face and said casually: "Yes, yes, thank you!"
"Then can you do anything less of me in the future?"
"No, no, no!" replied Su Shuxin. As soon as he finished speaking, he came to his senses and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Duan Lihua said with a smile: "Since you have become a wealthy businessman Niu Degui, how can you not have a concubine to serve you? I will naturally become your little wife, and I will accompany you to drink happy wine!"
"No, no, no!" Su Zhuo shook his head repeatedly, "I'm not going to play." It's too dangerous there for you to go!"
Duan Lihua didn't care at all, and said, "I haven't seen anything dangerous, I'm not afraid!"
Su Zhuo sighed, knowing that he couldn't resist her. Suddenly, he looked up and saw that it was dark outside, and he thought about it and said, "Okay, since you are not afraid of anything, then we will take advantage of the night to do something." As long as you have the guts, I will promise to take you with me!"
Duan Lihua said loudly: "Okay! A word is decided, whoever repents is a puppy! Say, what are you going to do?"
Su Zhuo smiled slyly and said, "Do you remember that the old man said just now that the plague started after that dead man? And it turns out that Lang Zhong also went to see that person's corpse!"
Duan Lihua shuddered suddenly, suddenly regretted it, and said in a trembling voice: "You, should you be ......?"
Su Zhuo smiled: "That's right, I just want to take advantage of the night to dig up the grave and conduct an autopsy!
Duan Lihua originally didn't want to go for 10,000, but when she heard Su Zhuo say this, she was very unconvinced, suppressed her fear, and said, "Just go, I'm still afraid of you!"
Su Zhuo smiled, knowing that she was pretending to be calm, and did not say more. He lit a torch, found a hoe, took Duan Lihua with him, and walked to the edge of the woods that the old woman had said. When I walked for a short time, I saw a small grave bag on the edge of the forest, which was particularly conspicuous.
Su Zhuo stopped more than twenty steps away from the tomb bag and said in a deep voice: "You just stand here, don't get any closer!"
"Why?" Duan Lihua asked.
Su Zhuo said: "If my guess is correct, the source of the plague is this corpse. And it's quite possible that it's not an epidemic, it's poisoning!"
"Poisoning?" Duan Lihua exclaimed.
Su Zhuo nodded and said, "You stand here, if you get closer, you will be in danger." ”
"What about you?"
Su Zhuo smiled and said, "If I were so weak, I wouldn't have come here!" As he spoke, he walked to the grave, looked back again, and found that Duan Lihua was really standing in place obediently, so he was a little relieved. He put the torch aside, swung his hoe, and dug open the grave.
The body was buried shallowly and was found in a short time. Su Zhuo carefully picked up the surrounding dirt, raised the torch and approached, but his face suddenly turned pale. It turned out that he saw the corpse in the soil pit, lying in the soil for three months, not only did it not decay at all, but its face was lifelike, its face was blue and black, and it was staring at a pair of blood-red eyes, as if it was staring at Su Zhuo.
