Chapter 3458 A Biao goes crazy
"If there is anything that can be of use to my mother, I can always tell her." Yang Ruoqing told Chen'er again to let Chen'er know that he was not alone in his struggle.
She is his backup.
Chen'er nodded with a smile, asked the secret guard to prepare a carriage, and the three of them left the restaurant together.
Chen'er followed the carriage on horseback, wearing a rainproof hat on her head.
Yang Ruoqing and Xiaoyu were sitting in the carriage, and Yang Ruoqing gave Xiaoyu a few more words.
Then at the intersection ahead, she stopped the carriage, got out of the carriage, and headed towards Wa City.
Chen'er and Xiaoyu first went to the Yamen and met Master Huang.
Then I went to the homes of several deceased people with the county governor Huang.
Because the cause of death of the deceased was strange, the government intervened and did not allow the family of the deceased to follow the burial procedures. Instead, they sealed the body with ice.
The crime scene was temporarily closed and officers and soldiers were sent to stay at the crime scene to guard it.
While Chen'er and Xiaoyu were busy finding out the situation one by one, Yang Ruoqing also found a lot of fresh and satisfying ingredients in Wa City.
There are fat and big mandarin fish, tender beef, crayfish, eggs...
When I was about to leave, I saw an old lady over there carrying a basket. When I buy leeks, there are a few purple-red sprouts tied with twine beside the leeks.
Yang Ruoqing’s eyes lit up, weren’t those the buds of the toon tree?
Many people in Changping Village plant toon trees in the front and back of their yards, but there are never any edible ones.
While Yang Ruoqing hesitated, several women gathered around the old lady's stall, all picking the buds of the toon tree.
Yang Ruoqing planned to give it a try, so she hurried over and asked for five cents for a small bunch.
The price is not low!
“How do you eat these toon tree buds?”
After buying a bunch and putting it in the basket, Yang Ruoqing asked the old lady.
The old lady said: "We blanch it in boiling water and eat it cold. It's good to stay up late with porridge."
A woman wearing good clothes next to her said: "Toon The young shoots of the tree are fried together with eggs. It’s so delicious. Both the head of the house and the children like to eat it. ”
Toon scrambled eggs?
Okay, I'll try frying it for Chen'er to try when I get back. If it's good, I'll pick some and fry it for Bao Bao and Dazhi when I get back to the village.
Then promote it to restaurants and add a new dish.
Just when Yang Ruoqing was thinking about it and was about to leave, several unfamiliar men suddenly rushed over there.
"Auntie, if you still want to sell vegetables here, go home quickly. Your Abiao is going crazy again. He took a kitchen knife and chopped down trees in the yard."
"The old Chinese toon tree in your yard is about to be chopped down. No one dares to stop it. Whoever stops it will chop it down!"
When the old lady heard what the visitor said, His face turned pale with fright.
I didn't even care about the food and wine in the vegetable basket and the remaining bunches of Chinese toon, I kicked my little feet and ran towards Wa City.
The people in the back circle were pointing and whispering in the direction the old lady left.
Yang Ruoqing understood the relationship between the characters after listening to a few words.
It turns out that this old lady is the man who made a fuss with his wife and her two brothers in Wa City yesterday.
That man, according to the people around him, did not know what religion he believed in, and his whole person became very talkative.
When my son was sick and had a high fever, he was not allowed to see a doctor or take medicine. He was only given talisman water and other things.
His wife persuaded him, so he beat and scolded her. The wife really couldn't bear it, so she took her son back to her parents' home. The brothers from her mother's family came to seek justice, but this man was fighting with everyone, without any fear...
Yang Ruoqing suspected that this man had also believed in the Black Lotus, so he was bewitched like this.
Because Xiaoyu said that it is popular within the Black Lotus Sect to give holy water to the believers on a regular basis and at fixed points.
Those holy waters were blessed by her, a saint, but in the final analysis, Xiaoyu herself didn't even know what the holy water was.
Because the elders brought it to her every time, she only needed to pick up the willow branch and gently stir it in the jar of water a few times, and then recite a few teachings of the Black Lotus Sect, and she was done. A blessing ceremony.
What the holy water tastes like, she has never tasted it herself, but the believers below have told her about it,
It is said that holy water can cure all diseases. Immortal water...
Thinking around, Yang Ruoqing planned to follow to see what happened. Maybe it would be helpful to Chen'er and Xiaoyu in solving the case!
Yang Ruoqing followed the old lady and the others to the back door of Wa City and entered an alley.
At first glance, this alley should be the poor man's alley in Yecheng. It is long and narrow, with bluestones on the ground, moss on the walls, and large chunks of red paint peeling off.
They are telling the world everywhere that this is really an old alley.
There is a courtyard with an open door not far ahead. The entrance of the courtyard is such a good Feng Shui treasure from a good visual angle, but no one dares to stand in front of it.
The onlookers hid in front, behind, and on the wall, peering into the yard, but no one dared to go in and take a look.
In the yard, there were men's vicious curses and the sound of trees being chopped down.
Bang bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
A toon tree, which was thick and looked quite old, made an unbearable shaking sound in the sky above the yard.
When the neighbors saw the old lady coming, they all shouted to the old lady: "Auntie, please go in and take a look. Your Abiao has been going crazy, and the old tree is about to be cut down. ! ”
The old lady hurried into the yard and saw her son, shirtless from the waist up, with a kitchen knife in his hand, chopping down the old toon tree.
While slashing and cursing, it was as if he was quarreling with someone and trying his best.
The body of the toon tree was cut with traces, and sawdust flew everywhere.
My son was splashed all over his head and face, but he remained unmoved and continued to chop with red eyes.
“Ah Biao, stop it, you can’t cut it!”
The old lady clapped her thighs with both hands, bent her knees, and cried and shouted to her son under the tree.
Abiao seemed to be unable to hear it and was still chopping.
"Ah Biao, our family has no money now, and your wife has returned to her parents' home with her son." The old lady cried and continued loudly.
"My mother can only support me and my mother by picking some toon tree buds and selling them for a few pennies. Stop it. The kitchen knife is also curled. How can my stepmother use it to chop vegetables?"< br>
Abiao remained unmoved by this.
The old lady had no idea, so she cried and asked the neighbors behind her for help.
Neighbors and neighbors are shrinking back. Decades of friendship are not worth their lives.
A Biao is obviously crazy and possessed. If he cuts it off with a kitchen knife, even the King of Hell will not be able to find anyone to judge him!
Seeing that no one wanted to help, the old lady was angry and anxious.
Bent down, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards A Biao.
"A Biao, you stupid bastard, wake up!"
The stone hit A Biao directly on the shoulder.
Maybe it was the pain that made him regain some of his consciousness.
