Jianghu Daily

Chapter 47

The husband who just died is of course a widow.

Mrs. Zhang knew her identity very well, but she had to wash her face with tears.

Liu An accompanied and comforted her for a while, and Zhang gradually stopped crying.She stood up gracefully, leaned against the bedside where the engraved "Hundred Sons Around Knees" was engraved, and asked, "You two, if you want to know anything, just ask."

Liu An raised his chin to Lu Xiaofeng, motioning him to ask quickly.

Lu Xiaofeng clenched his fists and coughed, "When exactly was Zhang Qing's body found?"

Mrs. Zhang lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes: "Two hours ago, I was in the garden."

Lu Xiaofeng asked: "I wonder if you can take me to have a look?"

Mrs. Zhang was stunned and said: "If the two of you can find out the murderer of your deceased husband, of course you can."

Zhang Qing's body was still lying in the garden, covered with a layer of white cloth.

Lu Xiaofeng held a corner of the white cloth, lifted it to look at the face of the dead, he was no different from the usual ones.But Lu Xiaofeng always felt something was wrong.He turned to Zhang Shi and said, "I want to see his chest, I'm offended."

Liu An went to the side to help him lift the white cloth, Lu Xiaofeng raised his head and smiled at her.

There is also a blood-red palm print on Zhang Qing's chest.

Lu Xiaofeng stared blankly at the palm print for a while.

He suddenly asked: "When Zhang Qing died, did any other strange things happen?"

Liu An glanced at him suspiciously, but she heard Zhang continue: "It seems that there is indeed something wrong. Not long after the deceased husband died, the servants discovered that Shufangju was stolen, but only the 'cinnabar blood' was lost."

Lu Xiaofeng's heart sank, and he asked, "What is cinnabar blood?"

Zhang Shi said: "It's a kind of red pigment, it won't fade even after a hundred years. By the way, this pigment is only available in our Shufangju."

Just as Liu An felt that this matter was tricky, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly pointed to the blood-red palm print on Zhang Qing's chest, and said to Zhang, "Is this cinnabar blood?"

Mrs. Zhang took a look, opened her eyes wide, covered her mouth and said, "Exactly!"

"I understand!" Liu An had a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly said: "The murderer stole the Zhang family's paint and deliberately painted it on the chest of the deceased, just to set up a puzzle and make us think that the murderer is someone who can use palms. The peach blossoms in last autumn, so I doubt the owner of Wuzhuang!"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "The analysis is good, but you missed three points."

"Which three?"

"First, the palm prints on the chests of the deceased before Zhang Qing are genuine; second, if you look carefully, the fake palm prints are larger than the previous ones, indicating that the murderer is not the same person; A group of people are ordinary people who don’t know martial arts.”

When he said this, Liu An felt that her analysis was all wrong.Liu secretly said: "What's the use of knowing this?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Every clue is useful." At least now we know that there are two murderers, the first is the real suction of internal energy, and the second is deliberately impersonating.

Liu An pinched his arm, deliberately disdainful: "Just talk nonsense!"

Looking at the two of them, Mrs. Zhang suddenly turned her face to the side and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Liu An comforted her: "The deceased is gone, sister, don't be sad."

Mrs. Zhang shook her head and sighed: "Thank you, Sister Liu, for your kindness. It's just that I saw the two talented and beautiful women, and I remembered the days with my deceased husband. I didn't cherish the relationship with my deceased husband. Now that he's gone, I..." Zhang choked up and raised her eyes. With tears in his eyes, he said, "Sister Liu is a good girl, you must treat her kindly, Mr. Lu."

Lu Xiaofeng took Liu An's hand, and replied with a smile: "It's inevitable."

Mrs. Zhang nodded and said: "When you two get married, I hope that my widow can ask for a wedding wine."

Lu Xiaofeng obviously felt Liu An's hand shrink back, and he quickly grasped it firmly.

"Waiting for Madam at that time."

————————————————————————————————————————

Zhang's idea is not wrong at all.

She is a lady of every family with her own responsibilities, and she always listens to her parents and matchmaker when she gets married. When she met Liu An and Lu Xiaofeng, she had long believed that they were related, not just childhood sweethearts, but also betrothed.

This was a misunderstanding, Liu An wanted to clear it up but was stopped by Lu Xiaofeng.

Coming out of Zhang's house, she felt ridiculous and sad.

Talented and beautiful?Made in heaven?Come on!Liu An did not forget how the two of them got together, and had the mentality of trying to play.She didn't forget it, and neither did Lu Xiaofeng.

So Liu An was very irritable, what kind of attitude Lu Xiaofeng was in to be irritable.Deliberately hanging on to her, flirting with her, while still holding Xue Bing's letter in his arms?Liu An felt that she was almost filled with inexplicable and strange psychology.

Lu Xiaofeng followed Liu An, and said after a while: "You are very abnormal."

Liu An poohed: "You are not normal, your whole family is not normal!"

Lu Xiaofeng choked, and said, "That includes you being abnormal."

Liu An was even angrier when she heard this, she didn't know if Lu Xiaofeng did it on purpose or not, but no matter what she didn't want to hear it now!Liu An sneered and said, "What exactly did Xue Bing write in your letter?"

Lu Xiaofeng was startled, then smiled: "You have been angry because of this? Is this why you are angry?"

Liu An didn't answer.

Lu Xiaofeng hugged her shoulders, looked at the sky, sighed and laughed at the same time: "You are jealous."

Liu An still didn't answer.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I want to drink the vegetable soup you made yourself tonight."

The two happened to pass by a field, and Liu An finally spoke at this moment. She pointed to the field and said, "Don't you want vegetable soup? Go plant it!"

The two returned to the Turtle Gang, and as soon as they entered the yard, they saw a group of people surrounding them.

"Why are you cramming here when you're not doing business?"

Seeing that it was Liu An and Lu Xiaofeng, everyone hurriedly nodded and shouted "Editor Lu" and "Hello, Master", Lingxi trotted over and said, "Brother is engraving something for everyone, it's so beautiful!"

Liu An poked his head and saw that Yu Shansui was carving a piece of wood, and the upper half had already carved the figure of a graceful woman, which was very delicate.

Lu Xiaofeng also laughed and said, "I never thought there would be many capable people in the newspaper." Liu glared at him secretly: "Don't look down on people!" After saying that, he turned around and left, Lu Xiaofeng quickly went after her again.

Yu Shansui raised his head to look in the direction of the two, then lowered his head to carve.

At night, Liu An drew a picture of the relationship between the Bloody Hand Peach Blossom and held it in his hand to read.

She was thinking about why Lu Xiaofeng would tell him to go sleep outside when Lu Xiaofeng came back, but she saw Lu Xiaofeng brought a basin of water into the room with a towel on his arm.

"Come here and wash your face." Lu Xiaofeng beckoned to her.

Liu An didn't speak, but the image of him on the top of the Forbidden City appeared in front of his eyes again, with a graceful and arrogant demeanor.And this man is bringing her water to wash her face now.

Just as Liu An was in a daze, she suddenly felt a heat on her face, but it was Lu Xiaofeng who couldn't wait to wipe it with a handkerchief.

"Hey! What are you doing! I... I will do it myself!"

Lu Xiaofeng took off the veil, Liu An's face turned red, and he laughed out of joy.

Liu An wished he could spit on his face and punched him. Lu Xiaofeng had expected it a long time ago, so he easily dodged two steps and continued to laugh.Liu An missed a single hit, so she just jumped off the bed and ran around the room with her bare feet.

Lu Xiaofeng ran around the table seven or eight times, Liu An shouted "stop", he obediently stood still, and let Liu An rush over and grab his neck and shake him.

"Liu An, tell me how you are structured?" Before Lu Xiaofeng finished speaking, he suddenly picked up Liu An, let her sit on the side of the bed, and turned around to carry another basin.

Liu An rubbed her nose, and was about to say that she was made in China, but Lu Xiaofeng knelt down, grabbed her bare feet, and put them in the basin.With both feet soaked in the warm water, Liu An seemed to be stunned.

While washing her, Lu Xiaofeng said, "The floor is so dirty, you want to get on the bed without washing your feet?" He lowered his head, but Liu An knew that he was smiling, he knew it every time.

But this time Liu An felt his whole heart was suffocated, as if he was also soaked in warm water.

This time Lu Xiaofeng didn't ask Bian again if Liu An knew his goodness, it didn't matter whether he asked or not.

It was still dawn, but Liu An didn't sleep all night.

She looked at Lu Xiaofeng through the dim light, and she didn't know how long she stared at it.

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly opened one eye and said with a smile, "What do you see me doing?"

Liu An didn't smile, instead her heart became heavier.

Lu Xiaofeng wrapped her in his arms and said, "Is there anything you want to ask?"

Liu An felt a tightness in her throat, she didn't want to ask, but couldn't help but ask.She didn't know when this sentence was lingering in her mind, Liu An deliberately didn't think about it, because every word required great courage.

But what happened today, the word "marriage" is like a thorn.Liu An took a deep breath, and asked in a deep voice, "Lu Xiaofeng, will you only be with me from now on?"

She knew that Lu Xiaofeng was a prodigal son, so when she asked this question, Liu An regretted it.

A person like Lu Xiaofeng would not stay for one person, it's ridiculous that she was really moved.Forgot the three words 'try it', forgot my purpose, forgot the original intention, even though I knew it was dangerous, I still couldn't stop the fall!

But some things cannot be stopped.

Liu An was very clear, so she asked anyway.Even if Lu Xiaofeng lied to her that she would, she might... just abandon everything without hesitation.

But Lu Xiaofeng didn't.

Lu Xiaofeng would not lie to Liu An, but he could not find the words to answer.from now on?He never thought about the future.He didn't speak for a while, and the arm holding Liu An was also a little stiff.

"I understand." Liu An moved his arms away, got off the bed, and began to dress one by one.Her expression was still calm, neither angry nor sad, but it made Lu Xiaofeng feel palpitations.

Lu Xiaofeng sat up straight from the bed, frowned and said, "What do you know?"

Liu An didn't turn his head back: "None of your business!" Lu Xiaofeng just went to pull her arm, but Liu An vigorously shook her off: "Don't touch me!"

For Liu An who was covered in thorns all over, Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to stare into Liu An's eyes and said word by word: "Don't be angry." Give him some time.

Liu An suddenly laughed, but Lu Xiaofeng felt his heart twitch.

"I won't be angry, not now, nor in the future." Liu An tied up his clothes and said, "When the sun rises, I don't want to see you in the Turtle Gang again."

Lu Xiaofeng's expression suddenly changed, and he called her name in disbelief: "Liu An?!"

Liu An patted his sleeves, raised his head and said with a relaxed smile, "Lu Xiaofeng, your probationary period has ended, and you have not been able to become a full-time member." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and left without looking at him again.

Holding the clothes in his hands, Lu Xiaofeng stared at the wide open door, as if he didn't realize that he was dumped by Liu An!
