Chapter 19: Two Legs
"Brother Chun, Brother Chun, wake up!"
"Let me sleep again, I'm so sleepy. ”
"Hurry up, there's a dead man in the backyard!"
Dead? Liu Jian, who was sleepy-eyed, sat up straight, and the thin quilt on his body slipped aside. His mind was still a little blank, but the word 'dead man' lingered in his mind, and he gradually came back to his senses.
Looking at the panting little mosquito in front of me. "Who died in the backyard?"
The little mosquito didn't have a problem with stammering at this time, and gestured to Liu Jian with his teeth and claws, and his speed of speech was quite fast. "I don't know who it is, but they were all eaten by the big dog in the backyard. When I watched it just now, there were only two thighs left, which was terrifying!"
"Let's go, take me there. Liu Jian jumped out of bed, put on his clothes and ran out. The death of someone in the backyard, and the fact that the body was eaten by a dog, is somewhat terrifying and eye-catching.
Looking at the round table that was pushed open at the door and the blue bricks that fell aside, Liu Jian looked at the little mosquito with some fear, and said that he was lucky.
You can pay attention in the future, but you can't use this brick as a trap. Don't prevent theft but accidentally hurt a friend, if you accidentally smash someone to death at your own door, then you must be at a loss for words, reasonable.
The little mosquito urged a few times in front, and Liu Jian kicked the cloth shoes under his feet while packing up the clothes on his body. It's just that I couldn't pay attention to why there were a few rare flies on the half of the green brick......
"Die young!"
"Who the hell is this? Why did you fall into the dog pen in a good way? ”
"Don't be killed, throw it here and destroy the corpse!"
From afar, I heard the old mother's discussion in the corner of the backyard, and the girls were watching from afar, not daring to approach the 'crime scene'. And the old mothers and nurses standing next to the kennel tried to snatch the two thighs from the mouths of the big dogs, but no one dared to step forward and grab the food.
Liu Jian walked forward with courage, his curiosity was bursting, and he couldn't stop it. But the little mosquito hid among the girls, and did not dare to follow, so he watched the excitement from afar.
"Xiao Chunzi, don't go over!" A soft call came from behind him, and Liu Jian waved his hand without looking back, and now his mind was occupied by curiosity. Butterfly Dance paused a little angrily, "Who cares about you, it's best for you to be bitten by that big dog." ”
"What did Brother Chun do in the past?" Shu Ge on the side pulled the corner of Butterfly Dance stubbornly, she only learned the concept of dead people today.
Butterfly Dance rolled her eyes angrily, "Leave him alone, you can." ”
"What are you doing here?" the old bustard's high-pitched voice was uniquely recognizable, and the girls got out of the way, and the old woman came over surrounded by several Oiran Qingyin.
"Mom, don't go there, it's scary. ”
"I don't know who was eaten by the big dogs, but those vicious dogs really can't be kept. ”
Several girls carefully reminded that their pale faces were because they had just leaned in to take a look, and they couldn't say that they would have nightmares for a long time.
"Heh, Mom, what have I been afraid of, coming in the wind and rain, what dead people haven't seen before?" the old bustard laughed, with some disapproving grace, which made the girls around her look at her with a little more fear.
The old bustard's steps moved forward, and several Oiran and Qingyin beside him glanced at each other, but each stopped. In the end, only Miss Suisi was more bold and followed Mother Wang's side.
She wanted to see why the dogs kept barking in the middle of the night last night, and there were rumors just now, whether these watchdog vicious dogs really ate people.
"Damn, it's disgusting......"
Liu Jian swallowed and foamed, but felt a tumbling in his stomach. The little face turned white, hiding behind the nursing home and didn't dare to look at it, and the scene of being eaten by the big dog on the bloody thighs shook the nerves. This kind of visual impact is much stronger than the effect of a thriller movie.
Just one glance, covered in hair, goosebumps swept to the ground. If you look at each other a few more times, then you don't need to eat the meal today and tomorrow.
"Uh-" This is the sound that comes when you don't catch your breath and take your back to breathe.
"Mother Wang, what's wrong with you?" Then came the anxious cry of the girl with casual thoughts, Liu Jian turned his head to look, and saw that there were two more figures behind him. The old bustard clutched his chest and fell into Sui Si's arms, trembling and sweating, but he was frightened by the sight and fainted.
The surrounding girls and old mothers hurriedly ran forward and surrounded Wang's mother......
The dead person was the turtle prince Li Xi, because he couldn't find his figure after searching the entire Fengmanlou, and the legs seemed to be Li Xi's, and the length and size were somewhat similar.
Liu Jian's heart sank when he heard the news, and his mind unconsciously appeared the back of Wang Liu when he came out of the blacksmith shop yesterday. It's just that I searched the entire backyard, but there was no figure of Wang Liu, didn't he kill someone and fled overnight?
The old bustard's mother was so frightened by the wreckage that she fainted, and when she woke up, she ordered the nursing home to beat the big dogs to death, and sent someone to the government to report the case.
In the afternoon, the government sent two officials with knives over, and only inquired about a few turtle princes in the same hospital, and the matter was settled. is not a serious person in a proper family, the turtle in Qinglou are all short-lived ghosts, all of them are bitten to death by dogs after drinking, and it is easy to deal with them.
Liu Jian was naturally also among the people being questioned, but the two officials were anxious about the bodies of the two girls arranged by the bustard, so they only asked hastily: "Did you hear any noise last night?" ”
"I was asleep and didn't hear anything. ”
"Go ahead, it's none of your business. ”
Liu Jian was depressed at the time, and he had thought of all kinds of rhetoric, and he wanted to 'unknowingly' lead the suspicion to Wang Liu. But he didn't think that the official had no intention of pursuing it at all, and without waiting for his guidance from the side, he sent him away directly.
I sighed a little in my heart, the land of green buildings, the land of fireworks, human life is like mustard. Liu Jian still remembers that in martial arts novels, it is said: 'Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes', then this Fengmanlou should also be regarded as a river and lake.
Wang Liu finally showed up after the official left, and the girls secretly pointed fingers at him, but no one dared to ask him where he had gone last night. And Wang Liu's spirit was a little trance, and he walked frivolously, and met Liu Jian in the side yard, but he lowered his head and quickly avoided it.
For some reason, Liu Jian suddenly had a sense of precariousness.
It seems that every exercise still can't be left behind, so that you have some capital to save your life. I don't know if the drunkard really knows how to teach himself internal strength, but it's excellent to have the opportunity to practice martial arts, at least if he has a body of force, he won't be slaughtered by others.
At dinner, there were a few more pieces of cooked dog meat, which was delicious, but Liu Jian had no appetite at all.
"Plain, how can I be eaten by dogs, this is what kind of sin I created in my previous life. Luo's mother, who was tidying up the kitchen, shook her head and sighed, eating the dog meat she made, but she was enjoying it. This is what the Bodhisattva said about retribution, retribution. ”
Liu Jian admired this old woman's psychological endurance, this fat woman's courage was amazing, and she didn't feel the two thighs during the day at all.
If a dog eats human flesh, and a person eats dog meat again, it should also be a kind of retribution for the cycle of cause and effect.
"If you see a lot, you won't be afraid," Luo's mother said, "I usually cut those beef leg bones, slaughtered pigs and sheep, and saw a lot of blood." Actually, Li Xi's legs are about the same as the thighs of a cow, and they are no different......"
Liu Jian's stomach churned again, this time he completely lost his appetite, and he could only start his night's work with an empty stomach.
The death of Li Xi had no impact on Feng Manlou's voice, and it was just that no one helped a few girls solicit customers that day. But after killing those big dogs, there was a hole in the defense system in the backyard, so that Wang's mother had to urgently recruit more than a dozen nurses.
Every night, there are night patrols in the backyard, afraid that the girls and little girls will escape, and also to guard against thieves and flower pickers who come in from outside.
But most of these guards are ordinary people who have even made a few moves of crop handles, and they can only guard against some ordinary thieves, and they have no effect at all on those who fly on the eaves and go to the wall, and they come and go high.
In the second half of the night, that figure fell on Liu Jian's roof unconsciously, and then the moonlight was bright, studying the green book in his hand. He lifted a fish-scale tile, glanced at the moonlit bed in front of the window, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
"This kid can still sleep so peacefully. ”
Liu Jian hadn't slept yet, and his mind was drowsy and wanted to strike, but his thoughts were still active, thinking back to the scene he had seen during the day, and thinking about how to mix it up in the future.
There was a question that had been bothering him all the time - where had he been?
Although there are many ugly men and impatience in Qinglou, these guests from all over the world can provide some information. After these days of observation, Liu Jian became more and more confused, and he didn't know where he was or when.
If you determine the dynasty, it will be much easier to act by yourself. He can also calculate how many years he will live to see his family again, or leave a mark and story for future generations to see.
It is somewhat difficult to pass on the name through the ages, but it is not so easy to do it after leaving a stench for thousands of years, or it is possible to find a famous place of interest and write a few big characters: 'Liu Jian visited here', but this method is somewhat feasible.
It is certain that this is not a Tang Dynasty where women regard fat as beauty and men as hair, otherwise they would not be able to be an Oiran without dozens of catties of fat.
It is impossible to judge other eras, although he studied historical and cultural knowledge in middle school, Liu Jian racked his brains and could not find obvious characteristics of the times, or found it, but could not make a correct response.
It's just that I've heard that Zhu Yuanzhang's wife is called the queen of big feet, since she is so prominent and bigfoot, then the women of the Ming and Qing dynasties should be bound by their feet, then it should be before the Ming and Song dynasties and after the Tang Dynasty.
But I didn't hear anything about the war from the mouths of the scoopers, and there didn't seem to be any nomads in the north. The singers did not sing the words and analyses he was familiar with, nor did they recite the classic of 'Bright Moonlight in front of the bed' in the market, which made him a little confused.
Let's go to bed first, and I have to get up early to run. Thinking that Li Xi was not bad to himself, what a good turtle man, he was killed by Wang Liu like this......
