[Four famous arrests] Dao Wushu

Chasing life

"Yes!" The opposite was a handsome young man who was probably a servant of the mansion. He was also dressed in plain clothes at the moment, patting his chest constantly, with lingering fear on his face, "I came out to wake up last night. When I opened the door, there was obviously no one in the yard, but who would have known that when I turned around, I suddenly saw a person standing behind me!"

"It's the murderer, it must be the murderer!" The woman who was standing aside holding a handkerchief and wiping her tears suddenly changed her complexion, she turned pale in an instant, and her hands seemed to be shaking, but her voice seemed to be agitated. More and more sharply, "She must have killed it! Third Master, you and my master have been friends for so many years, you must avenge him!"

The one called "Third Master" was the man in coarse clothes who kept drinking. The man paused slightly when he heard the words, then raised his head and took a big gulp of the wine before sighing with regret. In a low tone, said in a deep voice:

"Mrs. Xiao, don't worry, it's our duty to catch the murderer. Even if you don't tell me, I will definitely find the murderer!"

The woman finally calmed down a little after hearing the comfort, and then the "Third Master" turned to look at the boy who had spoken before, and continued to ask: "Then what about this woman?"

"Third Master, you also know that the little one is always timid. Last night I thought it was a ghost in the middle of the night. How dare I watch it again! I quickly closed the door and went back to the room. I didn't even dare to go to the latrine again. I almost held back Gotta piss my pants!"

The man frowned when he heard the words, and asked: "Then have you seen her face clearly?"

"The little one just glanced at it, and was so frightened that I couldn't remember the facial features clearly," the young man scratched his head and tried to recall, "But now that I think about it, I remember that she looks really juicy, if you want It’s not that it’s weird to appear out of nowhere at night, but it’s definitely a fairy when I see it during the day!”

……

After explaining all the circumstances and clues clearly, the people in Xiao's mansion have already returned to the mansion - the master's family has just passed away, and they still have a lot of funeral affairs to take care of, but the man who is called "Third Master" by everyone He leaned casually at the door of Xiao's mansion, a straw hat on his head covered most of his face, only his chin with a little stubble was exposed.

While drinking, the man was looking thoughtfully at the imposing gate of the Xiao Mansion—the owner of the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Changkong, was a bodyguard teacher in his early years, and he was also a well-known figure in the Jianghu. The two of them a few years ago Because of a case, we got acquainted and have a good friendship.In recent years, although Xiao Changkong turned to business after washing his hands, the two of them often had contacts.Today he was passing through Cangzhou, and he wanted to drop by to have a look, but he didn't expect to see the whole family of Xiao's family wearing sackcloth and filial piety when he came here. After asking, he found out that Xiao Changkong and his concubine were killed together last night. Killed on the bed.

A beautiful woman in a blue and white Taoist robe?The man frowned slightly, took a last sip of the wine, shook the wine gourd in his hand, and casually pushed the gourd away from his waist. I didn't see how he raised his breath, and suddenly he seemed to fly up. Normally, he rose from the ground and disappeared in the blink of an eye—but this person was the life chaser of one of the "Four Famous Arresters".

The so-called "Four Famous Arresters" are none other than the four disciples of Zhuge Shenhou, the master of the Ouchi and the chief coach of the 18 Imperial Forest Army: cold-blooded, life-seeking, iron-handed, and ruthless.

As their name suggests, these four people have their own strengths, but they are all martial arts masters. They have handled countless major cases and are extremely famous in the world.

Zhuiming is over [-] this year, and he was originally the oldest among the four, but Zhuge Shenhou took the entry order in order, and Zhuiming was an art investment teacher back then. In the third place, people in the world often call him "Third Master" or "Third Brother".

Of course, chasing life is not called chasing life, but he is good at legwork, unparalleled in foot strength, and his lightness skills and tracking skills are second to none in the Jianghu. Therefore, he never misses in handling cases, and people in the Jianghu call him "chasing life" - as time goes by, This nickname got louder and louder. As for his original name, Cui Lueshang, few people remembered it.

The life-chasing tracking technique has always been a well-known stunt in Jianghu, and he chased it non-stop for a long time. At noon, he had already left the city and was far away in the suburbs.There is a rather simple tea shed beside the road, with some tables and chairs in it, there are quite a few guests, but only the grandparents and grandchildren are busy, and there is still white mist steaming in the steamer on the stove—it seems to be Sell ​​some simple tea and meals for passers-by to fill their stomachs.

Zhui Ming paused slightly, touched the wine gourd on his waist, and quickly stopped in front of the tea shed, untied the gourd on his waist and shouted: "Shopkeeper, do you have any wine?"

"Yes!" The old man in front of the stove immediately responded loudly, and the granddaughter next to him quickly wiped her hands and trotted over to Zhuiming.

"Fill up the wine," Zhuiming found an empty table, opened a chair and sat down, handed the gourd and the money he took out of his pocket to the little girl in front of him, "I want three more steamed buns!"

——To be able to kill Xiao Changkong, one must be a master.Calculated by the footsteps, if the woman left last night, she should be almost here by now.

The little girl responded, but she apologized in a low voice with some embarrassment, saying that she was too busy at the moment, and told him that if he didn't mind, he could go to the stove to get the steamed buns by himself - Zhui Ming said yes, and waved it indifferently. It doesn't matter by waving his hands, seeing the little girl holding his gourd, turning around and running to get some wine, then got up and walked to the stove, just when he looked up, he stopped in his tracks all of a sudden——

In front of the hearth, stood a woman wearing a white background and blue-patterned Taoist robe, a Taoist crown, and a long sword on her back. At this moment, she was facing him sideways. Although her entire face could not be seen clearly, only Just a side face is enough to see her exquisite and beautiful appearance.

"It's a hard journey, why don't you have some tea and something to eat before you go?" The shopkeeper raised his eyes and saw a young and beautiful Taoist nun standing in front of him, staring straight at the steamer on his stove, slightly After being stunned for a moment, he immediately smiled kindly, and opened the lid of the steamer while talking—in the steaming heat, he saw white flour steamed buns neatly stacked in the steamer. The white and clean appearance is still quite attractive.

The girl in Taoist robe blinked her eyes expressionlessly, as if she smelled the fragrance, she moved her nose almost imperceptibly, but she neither spoke nor moved, she just stared fixedly at the buns in the steamer.

The shopkeeper was stunned, and saw that although she was wearing a Taoist robe, the fabric was very delicate, so he thought she disliked the food in this wild place, so he simply reached out and took a steamed bun from the steamer, and explained with a smile: "Guest officer , you see, there are not many good things in the wilderness. But this steamed bun was made by my granddaughter and myself, it is really good!"

This time, the girl finally reacted—although her face was still expressionless, she raised her head slightly and her eyes fell on the steamed bun in his hand.

"The steamed buns are very good." The girl pursed her lips and said softly, "I don't have any money."

——Her voice is very clear, but her tone is too flat, without ups and downs, which makes people feel a little cold for no reason.

Xiyin still feels at a loss. Last night, she was still chanting sutras in her senior brother's room, but she didn't know why she suddenly arrived in a strange house. When she opened her eyes, there was someone in front of her. He wanted to ask what was going on, but the man suddenly turned around with horror on his face and left, closing the door tightly with a "bang".She didn't know what to do, so she could only leave the house first, and walked aimlessly, until this morning, she met an aunt who sold breakfast, and after asking, she realized that it was Da Song—— Don was hundreds of years ago.

She didn't know why such an unimaginable thing happened, but... since the thing has already happened, it is meaningless to regret and be afraid. To Chunyang, if you can do it, it is the best, if you can't... that's the destiny, but it doesn't matter, anyway - it's the same wherever you practice.

Xiyin planned this way, so after asking the aunt in the morning for the direction of Mount Hua, she just set out on the road, but now she immediately encountered a big problem—she hadn't eaten since last night, Now she is already hungry, but she has no money at all - in Chunyang Palace, naturally there is nothing to spend money on.What's more, she grew up in Chunyang since she was a child, and she has never been down the mountain for more than ten years. Although Luo Feng often told her some things about the mountain, she didn't understand everything, but she didn't have any money... of.

Xiyin pursed her lips again, and took a deep look at the white and attractive steamed buns. A bit of reluctance and hesitation appeared on her usually expressionless face, but it was only for a moment. But after a blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace, leaving only the same calmness as before, and turned to leave—the person beside him handed the shopkeeper another penny, while saying: "Shop, Take one more steamed bun!" While reaching out, he handed over a white and fat steamed bun.

Xiyin lowered her head and looked at the steamed buns handed to her—following the man's hand and raising her head, she saw a 30-year-old man wearing a straw hat, with a slight cyan stubble on his chin, but he was But not down and out.Even in the twelfth lunar month of winter, he was still wearing a coarse singlet with the skirt slightly open, revealing a bit of his muscular chest, and he didn't seem to feel the cold at all.

"Thank you." Xiyin nodded and thanked calmly. Although she still didn't show any expression, the coldness around her seemed to subside a little. She took a small bite of the steamed bun, feeling empty for a long time. My stomach finally felt warm again, but immediately I heard the man ask:

"Were you in the Xiao Mansion in Cangzhou last night?"

The author has something to say: Our family is so noble and glamorous! 【Huh?

PS: The case I encountered for the first time is not the plot of the original novel.

I've been thinking... following the rhythm of "Fourth Master", "Third Master" and "Second Master", is it really okay to call "Uncle" to Wu Qing?
