Chapter 13 Method
The night was long, but after half an hour, through the few words Xue Baoping knew, the one or two syllables he struggled to pronounce, and Li Wuxiang's patient inferences and guesses, he finally figured it out. understand your current environment.
Jinshui Town is named after the Jinshui River. But Xue Baoping has never left Jinshui, and her parents are also local residents. Therefore, she does not know where Jinshui Town is, where the Jinshui River originates from and where it flows, nor where Jinshui Town is under its jurisdiction.
The last one I don't know is not that I don't know the higher-level administrative organization of Jinshui Town, but that there is none at all.
When mentioning things like "emperor", "imperial court" and "dynasty", Xue Baoping showed considerable confusion. But fortunately, her parents were both from well-to-do families, and she was quite smart when she was a child, so she could vaguely know that a long, long time ago, two or three thousand years ago, there was a person named "Emperor", and there was also a "Ye Dynasty" ".
Today's rules and etiquette in the world, and even the names of most mountains, rivers and lakes, were also set at that time. But after the demise of the Ye Dynasty and the loss of the emperor, the world only knew that many areas in this world were under the control of the "Eight Mysterious Sects" - the greatest gods in the wonderful realm passed down their immortal methods, and those who practiced this immortal method They are called Taoist priests or Qigong practitioners. Ordinary people don't know if they have really seen gods, but they heard that the world within the jurisdiction of Xuanjiao is more prosperous than outside the sect.
After asking several times, Li Wuxiang realized that "Jiaowai" is actually a geographical concept. The Eight Mysterious Sects control many areas in the world, but there are still more areas that do not have the light of the Mystical Sect and are only controlled by the city lords and town lords in various places. It's very like the warlords in his place in the past. You come and I fight, the king's flag changes on the city wall, and Jinshui Town is such a town with outsiders.
More than thirty years ago, Jinshui Town was still very prosperous. At that time, the Jinshui River was much wider than it is now, and merchant ships would pass through the town, creating a prosperous atmosphere. But then there was an "occurrence in the Xuanjiao" - the Taoist priests of the Xuanjiao conflicted with the Qi alchemists stationed in Jinshui Town in previous years. There was a fight and many people died in the town. Since then, Jinshui River has also It gradually dried up, and gradually only small passenger boats could be used, and the town declined.
The east part of the town where the Xue family is located was originally the most prosperous area in Jinshui Town, because there used to be a small wharf here where many passenger and cargo ships had to be docked. After the Jinshui River channel was blocked and the Xuanjiao turmoil broke out, the newly moved families mostly moved to the west and east of the town because they were closer to the main road to the nearest Qingjiang City.
Therefore, as Wang Wen said before, in the houses along the river near Zhendong Bridge, only two families, Wang and Xue, live. Xue Baoping was unable to move away, but the Wang family was different. His family had been hunters for generations, and the new town owner in recent years also liked game. Since the east side of the town was closer to Bishan, his family stayed.
"So, a well-known person in the town died here tonight." Xue Baoping heard Li Wuxiang's voice in the darkness. Her hearing was very good, and she had always wanted to hear clearly where Li Wuxiang was speaking, but his voice was erratic, as if he was on the opposite side, far away, and behind him.
"And the laws of Jinshui Town are all decided by the town owner. If you are investigated, I think you will become a murderer and a criminal."
These two sentences were like a basin of cold water, calming down Xue Baoping. She just realized something: someone died in her family...and this person also had a ferocious Orion brother and father!
She took a few quick breaths, looked up into the darkness, and struggled to make a sound: "I——"
"Don't do anything." She heard Li Wuxiang say, "You don't know anything."
Xue Baoping wanted to make some more noise, or write on the dark ground with his hand, when he suddenly heard a thud from the courtyard, followed by Wang Wu's voice: "Open the door, open the door!"
Xue Baoping trembled all over, immediately turned his face to the darkness, and made two ah sounds. But she didn't hear a response, as if Li Wuxiang had disappeared.
Then a loud clang was heard. The door bolt of her house had been used for more than ten years, and it was already in a state of decay due to continuous rains in Jinshui Town. Wang Wu patted the door several times but saw no one opening it, so he simply raised his leg and kicked the door open immediately. He rushed into the yard, carrying a bow and arrow on his back, a double hunting fork in one hand, and a torch in the other. He shouted angrily: "Didn't we agree to play together? Are you doing something good behind my back? Ah? Brother? Brother!" Come out quickly, stop playing around, the Taoist priest invited by the town leader wants fresh tiger bones, and he wants them now!”
The yard was dark and no one responded, so he rushed directly to the main house. Xue Baoping panicked and didn't know that he should listen to Li Wuxiang's "Don't do anything",
It's better to close the door. But a ball of light had already filtered in through the crack in the door, and then there was another bang, and she saw Wang Wu's fleshy face illuminated by the torch.
Xue Baoping took two steps back, leaned against the wall, and closed his eyes tightly, knowing that the next moment Wang Wu would see the mess in the house, blood stains on the ground, and corpses.
But after a while, she heard Wang Wu's voice and smelled the fishy breath: "Where is my brother!? Where is he?"
Xue Baoping was stunned and opened her eyes - Wang Wu was standing in front of her. She quickly glanced to the side, and by the light of Wang Wu's torch... there was nothing on the ground, just a piece of compacted soil. The blood, corpses, and even bloody clothes were gone, as if everything that happened half an hour ago had disappeared. Just a dream. "Asking you, where is my brother?" Wang Wu grabbed her face and shook it, then glanced around the room and saw the bowl on the window sill and the meat inside.
Xue Baoping raised his arm and pointed outward.
"He left? When did he leave?"
Xue Baoping stared at him, raising his face and saying nothing.
Wang Wu frowned and looked at her, and saw that the button on her collar had fallen off and was torn open. He suddenly hummed and laughed twice: "Okay, Sister Xue, I will come and play with you after I finish this work. Hum, I want you to see who is better, me or my brother."
< br>
After he finished speaking, he swung Xue Baoping's face, picked up the hunting fork, and rushed out of the door, shouting as he rushed: "Brother! Brother! Wang Wen! Where are you? Don't you think dad will beat you to death—— ”
The courtyard door was kicked open with a clang and then fell back. Xue Baoping suddenly slid to the ground, gasping for air, tremblingly climbed to the window and grabbed the tinder on the ground. He blew it several times before it lit up, and looked at the ground carefully with the light.
Still nothing, not even the smell of blood. She gritted her teeth, suddenly raised the flame and looked up at the beam——
A few pieces of rags were hanging on the beams, and there were no blood stains, but she was sure that they were the clothes Wang Wen had been wearing before.
"Li...Li..." She tried her best to make a sound, but the extreme nervousness choked her throat. She could only write with her fingers in the dark like she did just now - "You cannibal?"
She didn't know if Li Wuxiang was still there. But after a moment, she heard a voice from behind: "I don't think so."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Xue Baoping gasped briefly and slightly, was silent for a while, and then wrote again with trembling fingers: "What should I do?"
"His brother knows that he has been here, so he will always come to ask you again in the end. If it were at my place, they might not be able to do anything to you, but here is Jinshui. Whether it is to vent his anger or something else, he will go back to I should come to you often." She heard Li Wuxiang smile behind her, "Then there are two ways. One is for us to leave quickly tonight."
Xue Baoping immediately shook his head.
"Well, that's the second one. Let's kill his whole family tonight, so no one will suspect you. Do you think that's okay?"
Xue Baoping was stunned, but after a moment, she clenched her fists and made a slight sound: "Oh..."
"Okay? Okay. Then, I need you to do me a favor. Turn around first, I will be behind you, but don't be afraid of anything you see. Are you ready?"
