Since I met you, people are dying every day

Ye Sirui was suddenly glad that the children had gone out to watch the fireworks, and the rest of the adults in the house were much calmer.Even the female relatives were no exception, Mrs. Ye was used to life and death, and even Mrs. Ma, after experiencing the death of her ex-husband, just let out a small "ah" and covered her mouth with a veil.

Ye Fu stood up from the banquet as soon as he heard it. "Human life is at stake. It's not a trivial matter. I have to go with him."

Ma Lu said: "Lord Ye, you can't go alone, you should bring the little one with you."

As a result, all the male guests left.Ye Sirui said: "Both of you don't know how to do an autopsy, so what's the use of going?" He hesitated, "Brother Tianshu..."

"I'll go with them." Xia Shu immediately agreed.

But Ye Sirui didn't want to make such a decision, all the men left at once, why should he wait here with a few women? "In this case, we will all go together, so that we can take care of each other."

When they travel together like this, it is necessary to order people to prepare, "Tea tea, prepare hand stoves for everyone!" The cloaks that everyone took off were dried and put on warmly. "Nurse Wang, I will leave the house to you."

"Master, don't worry." Nanny Wang led the two wives to sit down and continued eating and drinking. "Ladies, don't worry. The gentlemen are only out on business and will be back soon. Madams, let's continue playing cards after eating and drinking."

In the county government office, except for the janitor, the rest of the people went home, and Ye Fu asked the boy to come to the door to find the coordinator and the yamen servant.Ye Sirui secretly called Wang Momo aside, "If we don't see us back before the shift, we will take the wife and children home in a carriage. If the carriage is not enough, we will send them one by one. Be sure to ensure safety." There is no hostess, and the men of the two ladies are not around, so they can't be rashly kept here overnight.

Grandma Wang understood.

The four of them couldn't ride horses even when it was snowing, so they went out by car, and the farmer who came to report the crime sat in front with the boy who drove the car to lead the way.On the way, he talked about the situation. It turned out that he was indeed a farmer. His nickname was Wang Wu. He lived in a remote alley. The adults were busy in the house, preparing for the stove and the New Year's Eve. The children of several families were outside. After firing the cannon, he ran back after a while, saying that he saw an uncle lying on the road.How can I survive lying on the road in this world of ice and snow?He thought it was a homeless refugee, so he hurried over to have a look, who knew that the person was lying on the ground, half buried in the snow, he checked his nose, only to find that he had died.

This kind of thing happened on the New Year's Eve, everyone felt unlucky, Wang Wu also thought twice before deciding to go to the government office to report the case in person, who knew that the door said that the county government had already closed the pen, and pointed out where the county magistrate lived, it was hard for him After touching it, the servant told him that the magistrate went to drink with another adult!Now he was also dazed, he only remembered that human life was at stake, and after running around for a long time, he finally found someone.

Ye Sirui opened the curtain, and the snowflakes outside kept falling. The bamboo hat on Wang Wu's head was covered with a layer of snow, but it melted a little while talking at the door, and now it has accumulated again.He ran away for a stranger on the New Year's Eve, which is really precious, and his conversation can be regarded as simple and honest.Ye Sirui put down the curtain and said to Ye Fu: "This man is honest, give him some silver, or report to a righteous citizen."

Ye Fu naturally nodded in response.

In order to save carriages, the four of them squeezed into one car.Both Ye Fu and Ma Lu vacated Ye Sirui carefully, but Ye Sirui didn't want them to huddle together, so he leaned on Xia Shu by himself. , and he can take advantage of it openly, and he can keep warm, he is quite contented.Suddenly being poked by Xia Shu, he asked in a low voice, "Hand stove, have you got it?"

Ye Sirui shrank his neck.Chaming prepared a hand stove for him, but he found it troublesome when he went out, so he put it aside.

Xia Shu sighed, and the breath pulled out the white mist.He carefully pulled Ye Sirui's hand into his sleeve.They were sitting close to each other, covered by their sleeves, Ye Fu and Ma Lu didn't notice anything.

"Here we are." Wang Wu called to stop the carriage.Xia Shu jumped down first, and helped Ye Sirui get out of the car.Chaming was already waiting with an umbrella.The snow kept falling, and as soon as he got out of the car, a thin layer of snow fell on Ye Sirui's hat. "Where?" he asked.

"My lord, come with me." Wang Wu led the way ahead, turned twice and saw a child squatting there with an umbrella in his hand, "Okay, go back!" The boy shook off the thick snow accumulated on the umbrella, and ran away in two or three steps. "I'm afraid that Xue will bury that person, so I asked their brothers to take turns watching." Wang Wu explained.

Ye Sirui thought it was true, if his child hadn't found out, the heavy snow was falling non-stop, and he would definitely be buried. When the body is found, it might be completely melted by the snow, then it is unknown when it will be.

Xia Shu went up first, and Ye Sirui quickly took the umbrella from Cha Ming's hand and followed, shielding Xia Shu from the snow.The corpse was lying on the ground, hands and feet curled up, and there was a wound on the back of the neck, the blood had already congealed.Xia Shu helped his right hand, the palm was covered with blood, and the fingernails were full of dirt. "He was crawling outside, and it started not long after the snow fell." After a long time, it won't be stained with dirt.Ye Sirui was counting the time when Xia Shu suddenly exerted force on his hand and turned over the corpse while holding it.Ye Fu was used to seeing Ye Sirui indulge Xia Shu, but Ma Lu jumped out and said, "Wu Zuo hasn't arrived yet, how can we destroy the corpse scene?" Xia Shu ignored him and wiped the snow off his robe.Ma Lu made fun of himself, so he had no choice but to shut up.

The wound was exposed when the snow was wiped off, and Ye Sirui was terrified when he saw it: there was a deep scar on the chest of the corpse, there was a tear in Yuebai's robe, and there was blood all around, and a large pool of blood on the ground had frozen into red crystals. Little by little, extending into the depths of the snow.The deceased was very young, no more than 35 years old, with dark temple hair and closed eyes.

"So it was him!" Wang Wu exclaimed.

"You know him?" Ye Fu asked immediately.

Wang Wu said: "His name is Shen Tang. He is a strange man. He is a student. He doesn't have much contact with us. He lives alone, and his family lives nearby."

That probably crawled out of the house.Xia Shu gestured on the corpse's chest with his hands, and said, "This is a knife wound. The technique is very professional. It can be regarded as a one-shot death."

"Since he was killed with a single knife, how did he climb so far?" Ye Sirui asked.

"The knife was not as deep as expected, and something blocked his chest." Xia Shu immediately unbuttoned the corpse's clothes, opened the front of the clothes, and reached in with one hand to fumble.Ye Sirui looked at the exposed pale skin, reached out to touch it, was shocked by the coolness, and quickly shrank back.It's really cool, like the dead things around it, it doesn't seem to have ever been alive at all.

"I found it." Xia Shu said, his hand was already slowly moving out, as if he was pulling something, "It's a book." As soon as he finished speaking, the book was pulled out, and it was caught by a sharp weapon in the middle. It was pierced through, and the broken pages rattled with the wind.Now not only Ye Sirui, but also Ye Fu who was standing far away with Wang Wu, and Ma Lu, who was a little sad just now, all came up to see what kind of book it was. "Luanfeng Ji?" Ye Sirui read out these three words, "What kind of book is this? Why have I never heard of it?" It was signed by Nanshan Xianke, which is also unheard of.

"I probably know what it is." Ye Fu took the book into his hand, opened it casually, looked at it, and said, "This is a storybook."

He thought he had reached the end of the point here, but seeing that Ye Sirui was still confused, and even Xia Shu and Ma Lu didn't know what was going on, he could only say vaguely: "It's just writing about fairy swordsmen, Xunshan Those who visit the water." At this point, several people were still at a loss, so Ye Fu gritted his teeth and said with a blushing face, "There are also some men and women, but they are just down-and-out literati who write anonymously about things that will not be published. "

Ye Sirui finally realized suddenly that he had indeed heard of such things before, but at the beginning the young man was ignorant, and when he was interested, he was strictly controlled, let alone even saw it.Later, even though he was free, he was already past the grade where he was easily moved by the love between men and women. Even after watching a few plays, he would laugh at the characters in the plays, so he went to watch them specially.

It's just that no, Ye Fu, who was born and grew up in the border and looks serious, would read such things.

"Then what is written in this book?" Ma Lu asked impatiently.

Ye Fu didn't want to talk anymore, he stuffed the book into Ye Sirui's hand, "My lord will know it after reading it."

Ye Sirui packed up the book to prevent it from being blown apart, and handed the handle of the umbrella to his left hand, "Brother Tian Shu, what else do you need to read?" I can't stand the cold.

"I need to check again." Xia Shu stared at the corpse intently, and Ye Sirui couldn't help sighing.Xia Shu glanced at him, then changed his words: "You can also take it back for inspection."

Only then did Ye Sirui cheer up.Cha Ming had already stuffed broken silver into Wang Wu and several nearby men, and told them to wait, and upon hearing the order, carried the body to Shen Tang's house, and asked someone to carry it to the yamen when the wind and snow subsided.

As soon as she stood up, Xia Shu snatched the umbrella from Ye Sirui's hand, and gave him the hand stove she was carrying. "I don't even have a hand stove, and I've always been cold, what can I do?"

Ye Sirui sneered and remained silent.When everyone saw Ye Sirui being scolded, they all pretended not to see it. Only Ma Lu stood up and said, "Mr. Xia, my lord held an umbrella for you in order to cooperate with your autopsy, but you didn't want to be grateful. Instead, you blamed your lord. What's the point?"

The scene was deadlocked for a while.Xia Shu stretched out his umbrella, and walked into the house. His steps were big, but he completely covered the people beside him. The words he threw were also hard: "He held the umbrella for me. I blame him. It's us What's the matter with you?"
