There are three children in Kaifeng

Chapter 4 Broken Houses and Zombies

Taking the two big pears given by Aunt Zhang, Ding San finally found the legendary "broken house".When she came to the house, she looked it up and down: Well, although the house is broken, the equipment is fairly complete, with broken bowls, broken pots and broken bed boards.The indoor lighting is not bad, there are several "skylights" on the roof, but there are still places to shelter from the wind and rain, such as the corners.Walking over, she was surprised to find a broken bedding and a wooden box on the bed, which made her very happy. This is better than the prison in Kaifeng Mansion~ Simply tidy it up, this time it can be regarded as a place to stay!It’s better to have a place than nothing, and we’ll build it after we figure out the rules of life here~ Thinking about it, I fell asleep with the broken bed board~

At night, dark clouds overwhelmed the top, the sky was gloomy, the wind howled, and there was lightning and thunder in an instant, and heavy rain torrentially.

Ding San woke up from the thunder, looked at the heavy rain outside the house and light rain in the house, and sighed: Fortunately, I found such a broken house, otherwise the rain would have killed me this night, I have no money to treat my cold, and in the end Did not die of starvation or disease.Rubbing his head, he remembered that the old monk Fahai had saved him outside the Jinlong Temple. He thought that the little beggar was knocked to death, but he did not expect that he would come back to life on her behalf. This body must have suffered a lot, a girl so big I didn't get bought into the kiln, so I just relied on this "rag head" disguise. It was still difficult to live, I didn't know who she was, where she came from, and where she was going, but since the old When Tianchang came over, he had to cherish it and live a good life for her, even if he was a beggar.

While sighing, she glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw something black at the door. Just as she was about to see what it was, a big lightning accompanied by thunder made her see it clearly in an instant!

A man with disheveled hair and blood on his face raised his arms and palms, dangling on his wrists, his mouth was wide open, and he staggered towards her with roaring sounds from his throat!

Zombies! ! !

Ding San's eyes widened, she opened her mouth to shout but couldn't make a sound, she forgot to run away for a while, until the zombie was approaching, she reacted quickly and jumped off the bed, instinctively picked up a stick and pointed at the zombie He greeted the zombie with his head, and with a muffled "boom", he rushed out the door while the zombie fell to the ground.

"Boom..." There was another muffled thunder, and the torrential rain slapped her face, making her unable to open her eyes as she ran blindly in the rainstorm like a headless fly. The person holding an umbrella, behind this person is a group of servants in coir raincoats carrying a sedan chair.When I saw someone, I immediately felt saved!Staggeringly, he rushed towards this group of people and horses.Seeing that she was about to run to the sedan chair, she suddenly felt that her arm had been twisted backwards behind her. The pain caused her to yell "Oh my god", she wanted to look back but her hand was twisted backwards and she couldn't move, and then she looked at the umbrella in front of her. The person in the car has disappeared, and there is only an umbrella in place. The servants also carefully put down the sedan chair. A deep voice came from the sedan chair through the rain:

"What happened, why did you stop the sedan chair?" Then the curtain of the sedan chair was raised, and I saw a person wearing black gauze, black python robe, and dark skin. It was Mr. Bao whom I had seen during the day!Just as he was about to say hello and be courteous, the twisted arm behind him gained some strength.The yamen servant beside the sedan chair held an umbrella for Mr. Bao, and Mr. Bao looked at the situation in front of him suspiciously with his hands behind his back.

"Return to your lord, this person is coming in a menacing manner. The officials are afraid that he will be harmful to your lord, so they will arrest him and wait for your lord to deal with him." No need to look, just listen to the soul-stirring voice, and you will know that he is handsome and handsome, Yushu Linfeng's fourth-rank imperial guard with a knife Cat" Mr. Zhan Zhaozhan.Hearing him say "menacing menacing" just remembered the scenes that happened in the dilapidated house, and those horrible pictures kept popping up in his mind, his face was distorted by fear, and a scream pierced the sky:

"There are zombies!!!"

Zhan Zhao on the side picked his ears with the other hand, with a slightly disgusted expression.

"What zombie?"

"There's a zombie in the broken house ahead!"

"Guard Zhan lets go of him first, and goes with the mansion to investigate."

"Yes, my lord!"

Ding San rubbed his pinched arm, curled his lips.The rain was still falling, and he looked back at Zhan Zhao behind him, stunned:

The rain hit his face recklessly, and his red official uniform was wet by the rain, and it was tightly attached to his body, revealing his sexy figure.When I came back to my senses, I shut my mouth and shut my mouth, what is beautiful and delicious, this is it!On the other hand, I was like a drowned rat... Anyway, I was soaked through, and it didn't matter if I took an umbrella or not. I wiped the rain on my face and led everyone to the broken house.

When she arrived at the door of the dilapidated house, Ding San pointed: "It's right here." She was not so afraid when there were too many people, and she was also Master Bao, who was known as the "magic weapon to ward off evil spirits". Looking inside the room, he pointed to the middle of the room and raised his chin: "Here, it's right there!"

Master Bao signaled to Zhan Zhao with his eyes, Zhan Zhao understood, went to investigate, stretched out his hand to test his breath: "Master, this person still has aura."

Master Bao looked at Ding San next to him: "Is this the zombie you mentioned?"

Ding San also wondered, why are the zombies still angry?Zombies?Zombies are dead too.Seeing that she also looked puzzled, Master Bao ordered his servants to turn the person over. When they were turned over, everyone gasped in unison: This person had disheveled hair, was covered in blood, his clothes were torn, and his face was full of blood. Burning scars, blindness, and severed tendons in both hands, it is simply too horrible to look at!Zhan Zhao, who was used to seeing big scenes from all over the world, was also taken aback. This was the first time he had seen such a tragic situation. He didn't know what kind of deep hatred could kill a person like this.

Turning around to ask Mr. Bao for instructions, Mr. Bao was also frowning and thinking, seeing that the man was seriously injured and fearing his life would be lost, so he raised his hand and ordered: "Take the two of them back to the residence!"

Looking at the situation, anyone who is not stupid can understand what is going on. A seriously injured person may be asking for help. He broke into the dilapidated house on a thunderstorm night, but was mistaken by Ding San as a "zombie". After escaping from the dilapidated house and running around in the street, he happened to meet Mr. Bao returning home.

The "zombie" was sitting in the sedan chair, while Mrs. Bao was walking quickly outside the sedan chair with Zhan Zhao, and Ding San followed behind with an umbrella. After knowing that the "zombie" was a human being, she completely relaxed. Moreover, when Mr. Bao said that he brought the "two people" back home, he was extremely excited, which meant that he could eat and drink again!When we arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, Lord Bao ordered the servants to go and invite Mr. Gongsun immediately.After the "zombie" was placed, Mr. Gongsun came in a hurry, while Mr. Bao sat aside, looking at the "zombie" who was being treated by Mr. Gongsun, and sized up Ding San.

"Who are you? It's raining heavily in the middle of the night. Why do you panic in the rain?"

"My lord, you don't know the villain anymore? We met each other during the day~"

Master Bao frowned, he couldn't remember that he had seen such a person before.

"My lord, I am Ding San, I just passed the interrogation this morning~"

Looking carefully at this Ding San's face, the voice, figure and clothing style are indeed Ding San's, but this face?For a while, I was a little uncertain.Zhan Zhao on the side also hesitated for a while, and suddenly realized that it was the heavy rain that had washed out her original face, and it was not so clean when she went to the hall in the morning.He and Master Bao looked at each other, and the master also laughed and understood.Ding San watched these two people staring at his face, and felt strange: Is there something on my face?Thinking about it again, it's not right, this face is not my own, and I still don't know what I look like, judging by the reactions of these two people, is it extremely ugly?Thinking of this, I was a little flustered. After all, I am still a girl, and I still care about my appearance, so I hurriedly asked Mr. Bao:

"My lord, is there a mirror?"

Master Bao looked puzzled: "Why do you need a mirror?"

"Oh, my lord, please lend me the mirror!" Ding San said anxiously.Inexplicably, Mrs. Bao signaled the servant to give Ding San a mirror, and before she handed the mirror to her, she snatched it up and took a fierce picture of herself.Naturally, the brass mirror does not have as many pixels as the mercury mirror, but you can still see your own appearance clearly in the mirror: small face, regular features, average appearance, not surprising, not ugly, eyes are quite bright, black and white are distinct , not to mention that I still look a bit like my previous self~

Zhan Zhao looked at Ding San who was smirking at the mirror and narrowed his eyes.Mr. Bao couldn't stand it anymore, and interrupted Ding San, who was being smug: "How did you meet this person in the dilapidated house, this person still has aura, why do you call him a 'zombie'?"

The mirror in his hand was snatched away by Zhan Zhao, and Ding San came back to his senses, and realized that the adult was questioning, and quickly told what happened, without mentioning that he gave the "zombie" a stick.

"As you said, you don't know this person, did he appear suddenly?"

"Yeah, I just woke up, and a lightning bolt lit up the room, and I saw him walking towards me at the door, and I ran out as soon as I was scared."

"Mr. Gongsun, how is this person injured?"

Mr. Gongsun just finished treating the "zombie"'s wound, got up and replied: "My lord, I have a cold from the outside, and the heat from the inside doesn't show up. I have a high fever all over my body and my body is extremely weak."

"How serious is the condition?"

"External infection and internal heat are not serious, as long as two or three doses of medicine can be cured. However, there is no hope of recovery from external injuries. His hands were scratched by sharp objects and his tendons were broken. His head was seriously injured, his face was burned on a large area, and he was blind in both eyes."

"Then cure his cold first, so that the government can inquire in detail."

After a while, the "zombie" woke up.Because he couldn't see, he seemed extremely panicked, struggling to get up from the bed, but his hands couldn't use the strength.Seeing this, Mr. Gongsun said: "Don't worry, this is the Yamen, everything is up to Mr. Bao." Hearing this sentence, the "zombie" froze, slowly lowered his head, and stopped making a sound, everyone was surprised , I saw the shoulders of the "zombie" twitch, and there was a faint choking sound.Seeing this scene, all the people present were moved, Mr. Bao's black face could not be more serious, Zhan Zhao also had a serious face, and Mr. Gongsun was so weak that he almost wiped his tears with his sleeve. "Well, it's nothing to do with me. I'll go back first?" A timid voice was really abrupt in such an unusually serious situation. For a moment, countless angry eyes focused on Ding San's face, abruptly It made Ding San hold back the yawn he was about to yawn, and drooped his head heavily with tears in his eyes.

Ding San is not an unintentional person, he was also very shocked when he saw this situation, but... After tossing for most of the night, there is really no blood at all. It doesn't matter if you can't be more grass-roots.But Ding San's words brought everyone back to their senses, and Mr. Gongsun quickly reached out to help the "zombie" to comfort him: "Don't worry, if you have any grievances, Lord Bao will definitely give you justice." After listening to the zombie , excitedly knelt down again, and kowtowed vigorously, but the direction was directed at Ding San's position, and everyone was embarrassed again.

"Ahem, you say you have grievances, but you can't speak or write with your hands, how can the government avenge your grievances?" Master Bao coughed awkwardly, and at the same time, Ding San quietly moved away .

After hearing Master Bao's voice, the "zombie" finally identified the direction of the kowtow, and kowtowed towards Master Bao with a "woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" of his mouth.

"This..." Master Bao was helpless.Everyone was in trouble for a while.

"Doesn't he still have a mouth..." Ding San looked helplessly at a group of ancient people who were in trouble. He really didn't know how to adapt. Thinking of the era we lived in, there were many people who were physically disabled and strong enough to write calligraphy with their feet. I just don't know if the person in front of me can read or not.

"Have you ever attended a private school?" Master Bao asked, and the "zombie" nodded.

"Can you express your grievances with your mouth?" Master Bao asked again, the "zombie" nodded even more, and trembled all over, appearing extremely excited.

"Okay, I'm asking you, you can answer the question on paper with your mouth instead of pen, Mr. Gongsun, prepare pen and ink for him."

After everything was in place, Ding San found an embarrassing question: why would she go when people asked the case?Thinking of the angry eyes of everyone before, I still have lingering fears.So I found a corner and listened to their trial.

"Who and where are you from?"

After Mr. Bao asked, Mr. Gongsun guided the "zombie" to use a pen in his mouth to write on the rice paper in front of his desk. Mr. Gongsun froze when he saw what the "zombie" wrote, and looked up at Mr. Bao in a panic: "grown ups......"

Mr. Bao seldom saw Mr. Gongsun lose his composure. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, he quickly asked Mr. Gongsun, "What did he write?"

Mr. Gongsun still had a surprised look on his face, and quickly walked towards Mr. Bao holding the words written by "zombie": "Look, sir."

When Mr. Bao saw the paper handed over by Mr. Gongsun, his expression changed instantly, and he asked sharply, "Do you know what you wrote?" After hearing this, the "zombie" nodded his head excitedly.Master Bao's black face turned gray: "Do you know that this matter is of great importance?" "Zombie" nodded again, Master Bao stopped talking, and the atmosphere in Kaifeng mansion was tense for a while. Everyone looked strange, but they also thought it was important When Zhan Zhao saw this, he clasped his fists at Master Bao: "My lord?" Master Bao handed the paper to Zhan Zhao helplessly, "Guard Zhan, you can see for yourself..." Zhan Zhao turned pale with shock. : "No. [-] scholar Zhou Qin?"

"Zombie" was so excited that he shed tears after hearing this!

Ding San was as astonished as everyone else: How could the majestic number one scholar of the Song Dynasty have been harmed like this? How much money is owed to others? The change.

"How is this possible? Mr. Bao just came from the prime minister's residence to celebrate the prime minister's birthday. Didn't he see the prime minister's son-in-law, the number one scholar Zhou Qin?" Mr. Gongsun broke the deadlock.

"That's why the adults are worried. At the banquet, the adults even praised the number one scholar Zhou Qin's literary talents. In a blink of an eye...it's unbelievable." Zhan Zhao explained.

"In this case, which one?" Mr. Gongsun heard what Zhan Zhao meant.I saw the "zombie" shaking his head and nodding excitedly, with tears streaming down his eyes.Immediately wrote on the paper: "I am the real champion!" Everyone gasped again.Then there was silence again.

"Zhou Qin." The "zombie" quickly turned to the source of the sound.Seeing this, Mr. Bao nodded: "That's right, your name is Zhou Qin." Then he sighed and asked: "How did you get to know that 'Zhou Qin', and what happened, let me tell you one by one."

Mr. Gongsun waited for the "zombie" to write, and he himself read out what he had written to help Mr. Bao in the case, and also let the people present understand the whole story.Although the writing is well-written, Ding San can probably hear one, two, three.

This "zombie" Zhou Qin originally came to take part in the Beijing Examination. Due to limited financial resources, he stayed at the home of a woodcutter in the outskirts of the city. When he happened to meet Zhou Qin who was bitten by a poisonous snake on his leg, he sucked out the venom with his mouth. Saved his life.Because of the same name and surname, the two came to participate in the Beijing Examination at the same time, and admired each other's literary talents, so under the witness of the old woodcutter, they became a pair of righteous brothers with the same name and surname.

The night before the Beijing Exam, Zhou Qin, whose leg was bitten, suddenly became seriously ill. The old woodcutter hurried down the mountain to seek a doctor, but the doctor said that Qin was too sick this week to go to the examination room. In desperation, the "zombie" Zhou Qin could only take the exam alone.

As luck would have it, Zhou Qin, a "zombie" who was originally devoted to mountains and rivers and had no idea of ​​high school, won the first place instead.The other Zhou Qin pretended to be a "zombie" Zhou Qinqinghe, poisoned him with poisoned wine, splashed his face to disfigure him, and cut his hands with a sharp knife.It is a delusion to use this to replace the "zombie" Zhou Qin's position as the number one scholar.Just about to kill him, the seriously injured old woodcutter came back and used a fork to pierce the sleeve of another Zhou Qin, saving the life of the "zombie" Zhou Qin, but he was murdered for this, and when he was dying, he wanted the "zombie" Zhou Qin avenged him. The "zombie" Zhou Qin rolled into the mountain stream in confusion, and was unconscious for several days. Finally, after going through hardships, he reached the Kaifeng mansion, and there was a scene of Ding San's frightened night in the rain.

After listening to the cause and effect, everyone was stunned.If what this "zombie" Zhou Qin said is true, then the number one scholar is unpardonable.Mr. Bao stroked his beard: "Okay, my government will take over your case, if what you said is true, this government will definitely give you justice after finding out, if you maliciously slander, this government will not lightly forgive you! Do you understand?"

Hearing this, the "zombie" fell off the stool, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Get up..." Master Bao had a look of embarrassment on his face.Mr. Gongsun supported him.

"Mr. Gongsun, what do you think of this matter?"

"Pfft..." Hearing Yuan Fangti again, Ding San couldn't hold back.This move finally succeeded in attracting everyone's attention, and everyone seemed to remember that there was such a person as her.

"Ahem...well, Mr. Bao, it's nothing, I'll go back first." Ding San was very embarrassed.Zhan Zhao looked at Ding San, and then at Mr. Gongsun. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Mr. Gongsun smiled knowingly: "My lord, according to the students, this person is seriously injured and very miserable. Few people would want to frame others for the sake of framing others." And self-mutilation. If what he said is true, we might as well 'lead the snake out of its hole'."

"Oh, how to 'lead the snake out of the hole'?" Master Bao asked.

"We took this case and wronged Zhou Qin to go to another place to wait for trial. We asked someone to release the news that someone sued the current number one scholar for impostor. What Zhou Qin said is true, the other Zhou Qin must have something to do." Mr. Gongsun said.

"That's great, but the disabled Zhou Qin can't support himself, where can he go to wait for trial?" Master Bao was a little worried.

"My lord, this subordinate thinks of someone." After speaking, Zhan Zhao glanced at Ding San.

"Oh, that's very good, little brother, Zhou Qin was found in your dilapidated house this week, are you willing to help the family and take care of him?" Master Bao understood.

"Um... Master Bao, it's not that we don't want to, we really can't take care of him, we are hungry and full every day, and we still have injuries on our heads, look," he said and pointed My head said, "We can't take care of ourselves, how can we take care of others?" Ding San looked embarrassed and asked her to take care of the "zombies"?No way, not to mention you forcibly occupying your own dilapidated house, and the "zombie" is physically disabled and has limited mobility. Doesn't it mean that he has to take care of everything by himself? A cat and a dog, he is a man, he has not even had a boyfriend, and he has to wait for the man to change clothes and go to the toilet... It will kill me!No, absolutely not!

Zhan Zhao at the side saw the changing situation on Ding San's face, so he asked Mr. Gongsun, "Sir, where is Zhou Qin hurt this week?"

"External infection and internal heat, broken tendons, severe head injury, extensive burns on the face, and blindness in both eyes." Mr. Gongsun was surprised. He said that when he checked his body for this week?Mr. Zhan didn't hear?

"Oh, serious head injury." After repeating, there was no more text, and no one knew why, only Ding San's face was covered with cold sweat.Does Zhan Zhao's heart belong to briquettes? Subconsciously counterattacked, this "zombie" had a serious head injury, even if he was not the culprit, he still had his own share, and the most terrible thing was that he didn't explain it at the beginning. "

Seeing Ding San's complexion change like a revolving lantern, Mr. Bao also thought he was in trouble: "It's okay, if the little brother has difficulties, we will find another place."

"What did Mr. Bao say? Mr. Bao is upright, unyielding to the powerful, not afraid of power, and being able to serve a generation of Qingtian is the blessing of the villain for several generations. If you can't do this, how can the villain stand in the world!" Among the impassioned and righteous, this kind of heroic and righteous sentiment infected everyone in the hall.

"I didn't expect you, little brother, to be so chivalrous at such a young age that I admire you!" Master Bao was deeply moved.

Everyone looked admiring, only Ding San was crying in his heart.As the saying goes, "the people do not fight with the officials", this time I have experienced it personally.

"However, the villain still can't take care of Zhou Qin."

"Why?" Mr. Gongsun was puzzled, and Zhan Zhao also looked sideways at her.

"If you want to wait for trial in a dilapidated house, you can naturally relax the other party's attention, making the other party think that the Kaifeng government doesn't trust Zhou Qin, who has filed a complaint. The grassroots don't know kung fu, and I'm afraid they won't be able to keep Zhou Qin safe." After speaking, there was a look of grief and helplessness on his face.

"Little brother, don't worry, Zhan is willing to help secretly." Zhan Zhao smiled at Ding San.With just such a smile, Ding San was dizzy for a while.

"No, no, no, Mr. Zhan has bright eyes and white teeth. His skin is as thick as fat. His skin is as smooth as ice. , The whole Song Dynasty knows." When she came back to her senses, Ding San waved her hands again and again, she didn't want to have the slightest interaction with Zhan Zhao, all her troubles were caused by him, maybe there would be other troubles in the future.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, they all peeked at Zhan's guards out of the corners of their eyes, and secretly compared them with Ding San's adjectives.

"Your Excellency seems to have said to find someone to release the news, right?" Ding San continued disapprovingly.

"Um...that's right." It was rare to see Guard Zhan with such an expression, and when he was admiring it, he seemed a little embarrassed when he was asked suddenly.

"That villain is the perfect candidate~ Think about it, Cao Min was the first person to discover Zhou Qin, and after Zhou Qin came to complain and lived in Cao Min's dilapidated house, didn't Cao Min become Zhou Qin's agent People, to hype this kind of thing, naturally grassroots are the most suitable, besides, grassroots status is humble, it is easier to get close to the grassroots~" Ding San had a flattering face.

"Hype?" Mr. Gongsun looked puzzled.

"Ahem, it means... to release the news." Ding San's face was covered with cold sweat, and he accidentally forgot the times.

Lord Bao smiled and said, "That's right, as for taking care of Zhou Qin, let Ma Han do it!"

"Your subordinates obey!" A somewhat dull man cupped his fists to accept the order.

"Master Mahan's body is not good..."

"Why?"

"Too clean!" Ding San smiled wickedly.
