Since I met you, people are dying every day

When Xia Shu walked in again, he was holding two dead rabbits in his hands.

He only wore his underwear and slept in his arms all night... Stop!Ye Sirui felt that his body, which had just calmed down, was showing signs of recovery, so he had to force himself not to think about it. "You caught it?"

Xia Shu walked into the cave. "You're lucky, you don't have to go up the tree to catch sparrows." Next, Ye Sirui witnessed another wonderful use of Xia Shu's dagger—he skillfully used the dagger to peel off the fur, cut off the head, and removed the internal organs. Twigs are strung together, and rabbit meat is roasted.

"You are so amazing." Although he couldn't find the right words, he couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart after seeing this situation.Xia Shu laughed it off.He laughed again!Ye Sirui turned his head to calm down his beating heart.I don't know if it's his illusion, Xia Shu has been laughing more and more recently. "What are you going to do?" Xia Shu asked him.

Ye Sirui sighed, "I don't know."

"I can take you out." Xia Shu said.

"Escape? How? I didn't let you run to the north, but I don't know how big Feng Hongguang's sphere of influence is. Could it be that we really want to cross mountains and ridges, and return from Lin County to He Lin?" Ye Sirui shook his head, "I I said it yesterday, and now there is no evidence, even if I escape back to the county government, I can't do anything to the Feng family." Just talking about this incident made his teeth itch, and he stood up and walked around.

Xia Shu didn't speak any more.

Xia Shu was busy, so he didn't want to be idle, so he walked into the cave and looked around, who knew that this observation made him find something. "Brother Tianshu, come here."

"What's wrong?" His tone sounded strange, and Xia Shu couldn't help asking.

"Here's—er, a human skeleton."

Xia Shu immediately left the rabbit meat and walked over.It was indeed a white bone, wrapped in a straw mat and hastily hidden among the chaotic rocks.The skeleton is still intact, and the posture before birth can be seen, a painfully twisted posture.Xia Shu moved the stone away and picked up the bone for a closer look.

Ye Sirui originally thought it was scary to be stared at by the hollow eyes of the skeleton, but after meeting Xia Shujian, he had the courage to look up, "How is it?"

"Bones are not crispy, and it's not long before they turned into white bones, about four or five years." Xia Shu took out a roll of straw mats, and picked up the fallen bones one by one, "I want to fight the bones, you wait wait."

"Here to fight bones?"

Xia Shu had already spread out the straw mat, and the rancid smell rushed over. "If you don't make bones, how do you know if there are any missing bones?" He picked out the bones one by one, put them in order, and muttered. "How do you know these things so well?" Ye Sirui finally asked the question that had puzzled him for a long time.

"I'm a killer, and a killer must know the human body well." He concentrated on distinguishing the different bones and placing them in a good place.Fortunately, the bones in the straw mat were not completely disorganized, and it was not slow to put them together. "Do you know how this man died?"

"How do I know now." Xia Shu still kept his hands on while speaking, "I need to bring back the steamed bones to the county government."

"Steamed bone?" The name sounds very ominous.

"I'll tell you more when I get back." Xia Shu said.He glanced back at Ye Sirui, and said: "You are recovering from a serious illness, don't squat for a long time. The human body costs 300 yuan, and it will take a long time."

Ye Sirui stood up according to his words, and glanced at the fire, "Brother Tianshu."

"What are you doing?" Xia Shu didn't raise his head.

"Your roast rabbit seems to be mushy."

Xia Shu left the pile of bones and went to play with rabbit meat again.Ye Sirui began to feel that he would not be able to eat today's meal.

But it's just a thought.When the aroma of the roasted rabbit meat permeated the air, his saliva, who was already so hungry, began to salivate involuntarily.Although some places were charred and black, it was oily and fragrant. Xia Shu found another kind of big leaves to wrap the meat.Ye Sirui couldn't take care of that much, tore off the rabbit's leg and started chewing. "Delicious!" There are no seasonings, only the natural aroma of barbecue.

"You like this?" Xia Shu said, "It's easy, as long as you can get wild game."

After Ye Sirui gnawed on one leg, he couldn't wait to tear off the other, "I know, you only like noodles."

Xia Shu did not deny it.

"Why do you like it so much?" Ye Sirui asked.He likes something, and he will get tired of it after eating for two or three days.In the future, simply don't try to find what you like.

Chewing slowly and methodically in Xia Tian is really different from the way of eating noodles. "I was in love with a woman."

"Pfft." After only one opening, Ye Sirui almost spit out, coughing again and again.

"What's wrong?" Xia Shu asked.

Ye Sirui kept shaking his head, "It's nothing." It's just that it seems ridiculous for him to say that he loves a woman with a blank face, not to mention, Xia Shu really doesn't look like he would love anyone.

"She lived near my house and set up a stall selling noodles."

Ye Sirui waited for a long time, but did not hear the following. "And then?" he urged.

"Then she died." Xia Shu swallowed a piece of meat, and wiped the oil on his hands with the leaves.

This answer is unexpected, but it seems reasonable.A person like Xia Shu should look carefree.Yeah?Another voice asked him in his heart, who should be born carefree? "So you often eat noodles just to reminisce about her craftsmanship?"

"No." Xia Shu said, "It's just getting used to it."

There was a silence, only the sound of chewing by the two of them. "Then you are lucky." Ye Sirui said slowly while thinking, "I once liked a woman, she was my maid."

Xia Shu was not surprised, Ye Sirui looked like an ordinary person, it was nothing to have a maid at home.

"I knew I couldn't marry her, so I told my father that I want her to be a concubine." Ye Sirui shrugged, "My father gave her to my elder brother."

"My brother and I have a good relationship, and I still don't give up. I want to ask him to get that maid back. After I went there, I found that he was drunk." His speech speed suddenly became slower, and he listened to every word. It was very clear, "I explained the purpose of coming, and he scolded me and told me that the maid was not perfect when she was sent."

Xia Shu didn't speak.Ye Sirui paused for a while before continuing: "I didn't touch her... If she hadn't died later, maybe she could have given birth to a younger brother for me."

"Your father is a bastard." Xia Shu said.He didn't ask how the maid died.

Ye Sirui swallowed the last piece of rabbit meat, "I knew he was a bastard a long time ago. But I am his seed, so I am also a little bastard. For so many years, I have never wanted to be a bastard. It is difficult to be a good person. Being a personal head office Right? But, what kind of father gives birth to what kind of seed." He looked at the oil on his hands, wondering if he should lick it off.In the end, I gave up and simply wiped it with leaves.

"You are different from him." Xia Shu finally said.

This conversation was too dull, Ye Sirui pretended to be brisk, "Brother Tianshu, almighty, I'm very thirsty now, what can you do?" Xia Shu fiddled with the pair of bones again. "I fed you water yesterday. There is a small stream nearby. Just follow the sound and look for it. Be careful."

After discovering the bones and reminiscing about the past, Ye Sirui has long forgotten the embarrassment of the morning, but when he heard him say "feed the water", his mind turned involuntarily.He hurried out of the cave.The rain had stopped long ago, and the sky was blue.The drops of water on the leaves are still glistening.Sure enough, he soon heard the turbulence of the mountain stream, following the sound, it was a thin stream, clear and bright.He threw off his arms and drank a breath, then took another handful to wash his face and hands.The stream water is cool and sweet, very comfortable.

He drank a few more sips before walking back.

Xia Shu has already completed the work, and the bones on the ground are neatly piled up in the shape of a person.He was sitting on a rock next to him, and when he saw him, he said, "There's something for you to see."

"what?"

Xia Tian stretched out his hands, it was a dilapidated piece of paper, because it was damp, moth-eaten, and rotten, and its original appearance could no longer be seen.Ye Sirui took it and unfolded it carefully, discerning the remaining few words, "Ticket...letter...this is the government ticket!"

"It seems that you are right." Xia Shu took out what was placed under the stone again. It turned out to be a knife worn by a yamen servant. The handle of the knife was also a little rotten, and the gleaming knife was covered with rust.

"This man is a yamen servant!" Ye Sirui exclaimed. "Who killed him!?"

The answer is self-evident.

"Is there evidence now?" Xia Shu asked.

Ye Sirui had long wanted to rush back to Shanli and wipe out those beastly people. "How to go back? Climb the mountain and take a detour?"

"That's too risky. We don't know how far the mountain road is, and we don't know if there are any wild animals in the mountain. We don't bring dry food and medicine, so we can't stay in the mountain for too long." Xia Shu pondered for a moment, "I think we can go back through Go back to Shanli."

"How to pass through?" The people there are probably waiting for them.

Xia Shu has already made a decision in his heart. "Not during the day, wait until night. Most people have to go to sleep at night. The rest of the stalkers can't be alert all the time. It shouldn't be difficult for me to bypass them behind your back." Xia Shu said easily, but Ye Sirui Know how much risk he is taking.But he had already made up his mind, and Ye Sirui couldn't think of a better way. "That's how it is, what about the bones?" The bones are evidence and must be brought back to the yamen.

Xia Shu walked to the place where they slept last night, took his outer robe, carefully put the bones on it, and packed it tightly. "You carry it on your back."

"Me?!" Ye Sirui gasped.

"I still want to carry you." Xia Shu's tone was unquestionable, "How is your health, can you bear it?"

Ye Sirui was still looking at the package, "It should be fine."

Xia Shu picked up the knife and played with it again, putting it together with his own sword. "Can you still use a knife?"

"Not very good at it, the knife is too domineering, I can't use it well, but if you have a weapon, try to keep it for yourself."

He added: "It's still early, you should sleep for a while and recharge your batteries."

There was no need to light a fire during the day, so Ye Sirui lay obediently on the ground and closed his eyes.
