Kaifeng Cat and Mouse Detective Manuscript

"You said you went to Beishan,? Beishan is so big, if something happens to me, how will I live!"

The woman wailed, and kept wiping her red eyes with her hands. Her body was shivering from the wet clothes, and her fingers trembled towards the back of the house.

Beishan,? Just behind the village.

"Don't be in a hurry, what's your husband's name?" Zhan Zhao helped the woman onto the bench and comforted her, fetched the blanket that the village head brought earlier and handed it to her, asked her name and looked outside the house The blackened mountain,? After thinking for a while, he said to Bai Yutang, "I'll go out for a while, you stay here."

"Go out?" Bai Yutang stuck Ju Que and pressed it on the table, blocking the way in front of Zhan Zhao, unable to believe, "You want to go out in such heavy rain?" It's not that he doesn't worry about the woman's husband, but a natural disaster More terrible than man-made disasters,? If there is an accident...

"Human life is at stake, don't worry." Zhan Zhao pulled out the giant cock, and pulled Bai Yutang's arm.

"If you want to go together, you always feel that something will happen."

Zhan Zhao couldn't help it, so he suddenly reached out and tapped the acupoints while he wasn't paying attention, and said to the woman beside him, "Madam, please take care of me for a while." Then he helped Bai Yutang to sit on the chair, "A cup of tea It will be solved later, just wait for me at ease."

Bai Yutang couldn't move, he could only stare at Zhan Zhao with a pair of eyes, expressing his protest.

There was a strong wind outside, and a single paper umbrella was not as good as a decoration. Within a few tens of meters, the umbrella surface was blown to pieces, and the body was already soaked by the rain, without a piece of dry cloth.Most of the roads in the village are dirt roads, and when they are flooded by the rain, they become ditches.The sky is full of dark clouds, and the only light left is the occasional lightning.

Zhan Zhao threw away the paper umbrella and walked out of the village along the not so wide path.

The mountain road in Beishan is steep, and it is all up to the villagers to come out. Last night, many dead branches broke from the top, almost blocking the narrow path.The rain hit the hair, ran down the cheeks, and fell into the eyes, making it difficult to see.Fortunately, when we got close to Beishan, it would be better if the dense forest covered a part of it.

On this kind of mountain, it is inevitable that people often come up to chop firewood, and there is a place for people to rest on the mountainside.The mountain was steep, and Zhan Zhao was well aware of the severity of the weather, so he didn't dare to walk around on the basis of his martial arts skills.It would be better if you can find someone along the road, if you can't find it, you have to wait for the rain to stop tomorrow and then ask Yan Chasan to send people to search.

"Boom—"

Another thunderbolt fell, hitting a tall tree and splitting it in the middle instantly.Many birds and animals in the forest may have destroyed their nests and could not find a place to live. They flitted and leaped in the forest, passing Zhan Zhao from time to time.

"Li Gen! Li Gen!"

The missing person's surname was Li Minggen, and his wife only knew that he went up Beishan, and Zhan Zhao shouted all the way up the mountain, but the rain was too heavy, and most of his voice was drowned in the rumbling thunder.

People in the mountains are in panic, and the situation down the mountain is not much better.Yan Chasan was at the foot of the mountain and saw that it was raining in the first half of the night, so he secretly thought that it was not good. After midnight, Bai Yutang Zhanzhao did not come down, feeling more and more uneasy.Several officials around him forced him to evacuate to an inn a few miles away to wait.

"Has it been passed on?"

The inn was very serious, and anyone with a little vision dared not come forward. Yan Chasan sat at the table with an indifferent face and asked questions.After returning to the inn, he sent someone to send a letter back to the Kaifeng mansion, asking Mr. Bao to send more people over. If no one came out after the rain stopped tomorrow, he would go up the mountain to look for it himself.

"It has been passed on, and it is estimated that tomorrow morning, it will come."

"Go down and rest first."

Yan Cha was anxious in his heart, and he couldn't get angry at his subordinates. After waving his hand to let the officials go down first, he dared not go back to his room.

"Fifth brother, fifth brother..." The window was shaken by the wind, and a trace of coolness came from the cracks, like autumn, Yan Chasan put his hands on the table, rubbing his temples constantly, looking forward to an early day. out.

"Li Gen!"

The mountain has almost reached the end, and there is a cliff in front of it, but there is no sign of anyone.Zhan Zhao still held some hope, and simply sat on the rock and looked down through the occasional lightning flashes, but the trees were verdant, except for a large area in front of him, he couldn't see clearly.

"I'm here... here!"

He yelled several more times, and just when Zhan Zhao gave up and was about to go down the mountain, a faint yell came from the bottom of the cliff.

Zhan Zhao squatted down in front of the cliff. The place was about ten meters away from the bottom. The body of the cliff was piled up with huge rocks, and it was hard to see whether it was grass or something below.

"Li Gen?"

Zhan Zhao wanted to judge where he fell based on his echo, but unfortunately there was no response except for the sound at the beginning.The surrounding area was also completely washed away by the water, and no traces could be seen.Zhan Zhao picked up a stone and threw it down, only hearing the sound of "boom" hitting the grass, he felt relieved and used the vertical leap method.

According to Li Gen's response, there were a lot of broken stones underneath. Zhan Zhao walked along the cliff, and finally saw a figure under a tree not far away.

"Can you go?"

Zhan Zhao squatted down and smelled the pungent smell of blood, only to find that Li Gen's leg had been cut by something. He opened his clothes and saw that he had already turned white from the rain.

"Yes..." Li Gen shrank under the tree, already embracing the heart of death, never expecting that someone would come to him, and immediately answered with vigor.

"Wait a minute," if you let the blood continue to flow, you might die before you return to the village, and the two of you didn't bring any medicine with you, so Zhan Zhao had to tear off the hem of his clothes and hit his leg. Acupoints on the top of the body to relieve pain, and then tear the hem of the clothes into shreds and bandage them.

The rocky cliff was extremely smooth, and it was easy for Zhan Zhao to go up it alone, but now with him alone, it might be a lot of trouble.

Li Gen also knew that he was no different from a drag now, he supported Zhan Zhao's shoulders, panting, and said weakly: "If, if not, you can find me a place, I can't drag you down!"

How could Zhan Zhao listen to him, let Li Gen lie down on his back, found a place with a lot of bumps, the giant tower was inserted in the crevice of the stone, and climbed up step by step. worn out.

"Come on, you go up first."

Seeing that it was almost there, Zhan Zhao turned sideways, put the giant tower on it, let Li Gen grab the raised stones on it, dragged him by his thigh, and slowly sent him up.

"My lord, come up quickly!"

Li Gen crawled on the top with his whole body, stretched his arm to hold Zhan Zhao, and Zhan Zhao grabbed the stone just now with the other hand, and stepped on the stone wall, who knew that the stone suddenly loosened, and Li Gen was indifferent at this time. He lost his strength all of a sudden and made Zhan Zhao fall down.

"My lord! My lord!"

Hearing the sound of rocks falling to the ground below, Li Gen thought to himself that it was not good. He fell slowly down the half slope and landed on the grass just in time, so he only cut his leg.This time Zhan Zhao fell directly from the top, he was not prepared, he was afraid that his life would be at stake if he was not careful.

"grown ups!"

After a few calls, there was no response. Li Gen didn't dare to go down to search hastily, and hurriedly went down the mountain with Zhan Zhao's giant gate, so that the village chief could send someone over.

"Cough cough..."

When the stones loosened, Zhan Zhao quickly adjusted his posture and protected the vulnerable places with his hands. Then his back fell to the ground, and he was spitting acid water from the stones below him. There was also a burst of pain in the wrist, and I knew it must be sprained without looking.Now that he had no strength to go up, he could only put his hope on Li Gen and ask him to notify Bai Yutang to come over.

"Ho..."

I don't know how long it had been raining before Zhan Zhao got up from the ground, walked to a place under the boulder that wasn't considered a cave, at least to get some shelter from the rain, and then leaned on the rock to check his foot injury.

Or the intuition of a martial arts practitioner. Zhan Zhao felt that something was staring at him as soon as he settled down. There was no other weapon for self-defense in this place except a broken log. A tree trunk lay before him.

"Sizzling..."

The bushes shook for a while, and with the light of lightning, Zhan Zhao saw a huge triangular-shaped thing poking out, it was a snake.It seems that it was startled by the rain, and then the movement of the stone cliff just now attracted it.

Zhan Zhao secretly sighed that Bai Yutang's mouth was really powerful, as if every time he said something happened, something would happen.

The snake couldn't tell what kind it was, if Gongsun Ce and Mr. Bao were here, maybe they would discuss the species.Everything grows old and mature, and so does the snake in front of it, it just swayed under the bushes and didn't come up immediately, probably like Zhan Zhao, looking at each other, judging whether it can kill each other.

Li Gen went down the mountain in a panic, fell down several times along the way, and was discovered by the night watchman as soon as he arrived at the village.

"My lord! My lord!"

Li Gen scrambled and walked into the house, the officer saw the sword in his hand sharply, and hurried up with his companion to help him in.Li Gen was so anxious that he couldn't even speak clearly, he collapsed on the ground exhausted, pointed at Juque and Beishan, slapped his thigh, and grinned from the pain of his leg wound, "There is a lord who fell off the cliff!"

"Cliff?!" The two officials were not familiar with this place. When they heard that it was a cliff, they thought it was a high ground of several hundred meters.

"Quick, quick! Go and inform another adult!" Still older and more stable, he hurriedly ran to the village head's house with an umbrella.

Zhan Zhao has practiced martial arts for many years, and his aura is not so strong. Even without Ju Que, his eyes are still shocking.The snake was unable to resist me all the time, and slowly crawled out of the bush. It was tens of meters long, and its body was so strong that it could swallow an entire adult.It moved to the right side of Zhan Zhao and coiled up, with its head straightened, spit out bright red letters from time to time, as if it didn't intend to let go of the food in front of it, but to die with Zhan Zhao again.

"grown ups!"

The official slammed the door, Bai Yutang was already upset, seeing that Zhan Zhao hadn't come back for so long, he couldn't help thinking about it, and when he heard the noise outside, he immediately stood up and opened the door.

"My lord, someone came to report that your lord has fallen off a cliff!" The officer said as he entered the door, and Bai Yutang's hand holding the umbrella tightened in shock. He couldn't wait to enter the house, so he asked in the rain, "What cliff?! How did you fall off the cliff? ! Ju Que? Is his sword in your hand?" A few questions popped up in succession, but the official didn't know the specific situation and could only shake his head.

"Wait, take me there." Bai Yutang turned around and took Zhanlu, then Juque, and ran back with the official.
