Chapter Eighty-Seven: Wine is Beautiful
The Song City of Jiangnan is full of the vicissitudes of time. The city wall is tall and heavy, there are twenty or thirty meters high, the city wall is enough to run more than a dozen horses side by side, and the tall city gate tower is even more magnificent and magnificent, just like the fairy que falling from the sky, simple and magnificent.
The moat is hundreds of meters wide and four or five meters deep, and the lotus flowers bloom on the surface of the river, and schools of fish swim.
The old pontoon bridge was crowded with swarthy and straightforward men sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bridge, with fresh river fish caught in the morning in front of them. During the conversation, a series of hearty laughter was heard from time to time.
Not far away, several young men and women dressed plainly but could not hide their dusty temperament were raising their eyes to look at this side.
One of the most striking is that his eyes are clear, his eyebrows and nose are trimmed, and his cheeks are slightly pear-ed, which is simply beautiful. The soft light reflected from the surface of the river shone on his face, making his complexion even more crystal clear and soft as jade.
Mu Lingxiu frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Senior brothers and sisters, you must have also seen the clues. This group of fishermen is full of vigor and vitality, which is completely different from those in the city who are weak and weak. ”
In the past two days, they observed many people in Qiancheng and found that the same symptoms as Xie Zihuai were a strange poison.
Whoever commits murder in the street because of the evil fire,
The evil fire is not allowed to vent and the body has a big problem,
The tragedies made them feel cold in their hearts.
Who is so vicious that he is competing to poison the whole city?
.......
Several senior brothers and sisters from the Valley of the Medical God chimed in: "It is indeed very different from the people in the city, those fishermen should not be poisoned. ”
Mu Ling nodded and took the lead in walking forward.
He stopped in front of a middle-aged fisherman and asked softly, "Big brother, how do you sell this fish?"
The middle-aged fisherman was chatting with a few big men next to him, and casually looked up and replied, "Ten cents and one catty." Just a momentary glance, he was stunned.
What a handsome little lady.
A few big men next to him were also stunned, and then smiled at the middle-aged fisherman with eyebrows and eyes: "Such a handsome little lady, don't use silver, just send it to eat." ”
"Yes, yes. The middle-aged fisherman looked at Mu Ling's face and sneered: "Take one and eat it, it's not in the way." ”
"..........." Mu Ling.
Fortunately, there are many such scenes, and Mu Ling is too lazy to care about the other party calling him a little lady, and said with a smile: "Do the eldest brothers live on fishing boats and drink river water?"
"Yes, the old men in that city think the river is dirty, and we are the only ones who drink it. ”
"The boat we fish on is the house, and the family eats and lives on the boat. ”
"Hey, it's good to do that thing in the boat, with the river swinging, swinging, that taste, tsk........"
.......
Mu Ling sighed secretly, and he already had a plan in his heart.
"Little lady, don't go, take a fresh grass carp to eat. ”
.......
He ignored the gossip of the fishermen and returned to his brother.
"As I expected, the fishermen drank river water, so they weren't poisoned. The moat is very large and the water area is extremely wide, and the amount of poison that thieves need to prepare to poison the river is too much, which is somewhat unrealistic. ”
"So, the source of poison is the wells in the city, and the thieves poison the people by poisoning the drinking water. So, what was their intention in poisoning, and what was in it for them, was it just to cause panic?"
Mu Ling shook his head and replied, "Think about it, where will the business be the best if the evil fire is haunting?"
The junior sister was stunned, a blush appeared on her face, and she whispered, "The medical hall ........"
"........" Mu Ling.
"It's a green building. A junior brother looked clear and said: "There is a physiological need, and the best place to go is naturally the Qinglou, where any evil fire cannot be vented." ”
Everyone looked at him with a playful look.
Mu Ling coughed lightly twice, his junior brother usually goes out to collect medicine, and he goes out the most, and it is normal to go to the Qinglou to vent his physiological needs. He avoided the topic and said to a few people, "I will try the poison and try to prepare the antidote in the shortest possible time." Otherwise, if this goes on for a long time, I am afraid that the city of piety will be in chaos. ”
Several senior brothers are secretly relieved, their disciples in the Valley of the Divine Doctor are all hanging pots to help the world, and they usually don't take a penny to see a doctor, so their lives are relatively sluggish.
It was precisely because of the shame in the pocket that he stayed at the homes of the villagers in the suburbs for the past two days, so that he was not robbed.
Unexpectedly, Mu Ling offered to test the poison.
"Senior Brother Mu, I think this matter needs to be considered in the long run. The junior sister just now suddenly seemed to think of something, and shouted: "Yesterday, I heard someone say that there will be an auction of antidote drugs in the Yanliu House in Qiancheng at noon today, and I don't know if it's true or not. Let's go there first. ”
Mu Ling glanced at the sky and felt that the junior sister's proposal was good, since someone took out the antidote and sold it, maybe the murderer of the poison could be traced. Hanging the pot to help the world, what he hates most is this kind of traitor who kills the people, no matter what, he also wants to return the people of Qiancheng to a normal life.
"Let's go, go to the Smoke Willow House. ”
Mu Ling's eyes were full of determination, beckoning a few senior brothers and sisters, and strode towards the city.
.........
.........
The sun is on the sun, and it is the hottest time of the day.
In the city, all the characters with heads and faces went out under the hot sun.
Now, their mood is no hotter than the poisonous sun in the sky, but it is not much different.
The people of the whole city are like taking aphrodisiacs, everyone has already tacitly understood this, when they go to the Qinglou, they can meet familiar faces every day, they come and go, they can't hold back their hearts, and after saying it in 1510, they found that everyone's situation is basically the same.
The whole family is up and down, old and young, all of them are full of spring.
They're fine, spend a few bucks and go to the fire.
What about the children? What about the elderly?
I feel aggrieved when I think about it.
Yesterday, I don't know who came out with the news, after the Yanliu House changed hands, there was an antidote to the auction.
No, everyone gathered here, ready to join in the fun, and they couldn't watch the family grinding foreign workers against the pillars all day long.
Almost indecent.
Outside the smoke willow house,
It was crowded with people.
Dozens of arrogant men with unscrupulous faces blocked the door, preventing people from entering.
The noise at the door was endless, and people were very dissatisfied, and they scolded the men in front of the door.
On weekdays, where did they go, weren't they shouted by the master one by one, and when they got here, they were reduced to the point of not being allowed to enter the door?
Has the world changed?
Don't treat silver as money anymore?
The customer is not your Buddha yet?
Look at their wretched, dog-like things.
