It was raining heavily and there were very few people on the road. Liang Qu stopped several passers-by wearing raincoats before he could get some clues about the identity of the deceased. At first, the pedestrian was frightened by the head, and he stumbled over his words. Later, his speech became smoother and smoother. "It's Old Man Zhao. He has a donkey cart. He likes to brag about his precious donkey, saying it can endure hardships better than a mule and is stronger than a strong horse. In the past, I basically made a living by delivering firewood to people every day, and it’s the same when I came to Yixing Town. I heard that he now occasionally sells a few fish. Because he doesn’t have to pay stall fees and the price is a little cheaper than others, his life is pretty good. " "are you sure?" The passerby hesitated for a while, suppressed his fear, looked at the man's head a few more times, and nodded vigorously. "I'm sure, there's nothing wrong. I used to live in the same hometown as him, and our families were separated by a street. Later, we escaped together." "Do you know where he lives now?"
"Hmm." The passerby frowned and thought hard, "We haven't met much since we came to Yixing Town. I remember it was a small earthen house next to Huangni Lane in the southeast. Oh, his house should have a small donkey shed, and it is a newly built house. The loess is very new! " "Thanks." Liang Qu took out a few coins and handed them to passers-by. "It's okay, it's okay. Thank you, Master Liang. Thank you, Master Liang." The passerby took the coin and thanked him repeatedly. He opened his mouth, hesitated and said, "Master Liang, don't blame me for talking too much. What happened to old man Zhao? He died... If it's hard to tell, I won't ask, I won't ask." That is to say, Liang Qu had a majestic appearance and a good reputation, so he dared to ask this question. If it had been anyone else, if they had been stopped to identify heads on a rainy day, they might have had their gallbladders broken, and they would have gotten seriously ill back home. "Because of my death, I accidentally implicated him. I must let his family know." The passers-by were speechless, opened their mouths, and bowed. "Master Liang is very righteous." "That's how it should be. There's no such thing as high righteousness or high righteousness." Liang Qu shook his head and pulled the reins towards Huangni Alley. Looking at the departing cart, passers-by sighed. "Hey, Old Man Zhao also has a hard life. His eldest son died at the hands of a spirit. He is destined to be a lonely ghost. It's not easy to settle down... The world is really not peaceful." Liang Qu's ears twitched slightly and he sped up the car. The trolley entered Huangni Lane in the southeast of Yixing Town and went around from house to house. A mud house with a straw hut, a food trough and a newer color comes into view. This is the closest home.
Boom, boom, boom. "I'll open the door, who is it?" The young man wearing a raincoat stepped forward in the rain and lifted the door bolt. He was extremely surprised when he saw Liang Qu. "Master Liang! Master Liang, why are you here?" … The sudden tragic news caused a large family to gather at the door. A boy of twelve or thirteen years old, an old woman over fifty, and a middle-aged woman holding a boy of four or five years old. Four mouths in total. If the eldest son and old man Zhao mentioned by passers-by had not died, the family would have been a prosperous family of four men, two strong laborers and one young strong man. Liang Qu put down the money bag in his hand, which contained all the cash he had on him, about forty taels. "My condolences, that donkey will probably never be found again. There are almost forty-two taels of silver in the purse, enough to buy a new big donkey. I can earn a lot of money by pulling goods on weekdays, which can be considered a living. Use the rest for emergencies and to get by. When someone comes to eat, they say that I gave them the money, and no one in Yixing town dares to touch it. If you are ambitious and want to learn martial arts, come to Yang's Martial Arts School to see me and learn two moves. " Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. As long as you're lazy, shameless, and strong, you can't get rid of people like Mr. Zhang. Please visit the latest address But with Liang Qu's words, such a bastard would not dare to come to the door, otherwise he would have been hanging around for so long in vain. More than forty taels is enough for the current family to overcome the difficulty of not having an adult labor force. As for learning martial arts, becoming a martial artist is unlikely. Liang Qu could tell at a glance that the boy was average, but he could learn two tricks to bluff people. Several people ignored their sorrow and thanked them repeatedly. Liang Qu was embarrassed to accept this gift. He only left a few words and hurriedly left. Carrying the body, he wandered to the river bank to change his merits. The Xinfu Yamen in Hebosuo is located along the river between Pingyang County and Yixing Town. The basic layout is similar to that of the county government office, with the exception that there is a new pier not far from the entrance, with wooden stakes inserted and full of standard boats parked by the officials of the river station. On the other side of the government office, Liang Qu also saw two big cows that he had never seen before walking nearby, gnawing grass in the rain. The cow was huge, at least one foot tall, with bulging muscles all over its body. The ground shook slightly when it walked, causing the water snake hidden in the grass to flee quickly in shock. Their pair of horns don't look like buffalo horns or ox horns, but rather like musk ox horns. Their short, dense hair is shiny and smooth under the wash of rain. They are obviously very well-bred. When they saw someone coming, the two cows raised their heads and mooed twice, waving their short tails and splashing rainwater. "River cow?"
Liang Qu thought of the introduction to the files from Hebo. The river ox has a docile personality and great natural strength. It is often used to plow fields, but it is not used to plow fields, but to create river channels. Two river oxen are enough to open a river channel from Pingyang County to Yixing Town in ten days. I have never seen this before. Could it be that all the ideas for opening up new river channels in the river were taken from elsewhere? Liang Qu made an inexplicable guess and kept walking, carrying the two corpses across the gate of the river. Many people whispered. The result of the duck water competition after the auction had already spread all over the river and lake as if it had grown wings. Whether people had seen it or not, they were still fresh in their minds. Unexpectedly, the person involved turned around and brought back two corpses. What happened? Ignoring everyone's gaze, Liang Qu quickly went to the left and found the new file room according to the plaque on the door. An acquaintance, Li Zhubu, and another colleague were sorting files. When they learned that Liang Qu had killed two masters of the Ghost Mother Cult, they hurried to inform Ran Zhongshi. "Good boy, you just finished the duck water competition and brought two heads here?" The voice came before the person arrived. Ran Zhongshi jumped down from the upstairs and squatted beside the two corpses to check their pulses. "Are they all dead? No one is left alive?" "No." Ran Zhongshi had no doubt. The strength of the remaining breath of the corpse proved that it was undoubtedly in the upper realm of running horses. It must have been a difficult battle to win two against one, and it was indeed difficult to leave anyone alive. Looking at the poisonous sore on one of them's neck, it's possible that he used some tricks, but even so, it's already very remarkable. After asking about the location and the general content, Ran Zhongshi nodded. "It's the style of the Ghost Mother Cult, and the motivation is also consistent. Are you injured?" "A little injury." "Really?" Ran Zhongshi looked Liang Qu up and down, and seeing that he was indeed fine, he gave him a higher evaluation in his heart. He waved his hand, and the two bodies were carried away. "You fought two galloping horses alone, and reported it, which is another great achievement!" "Both of them are dead. Will there be difficulties in identity verification?" "There were difficulties in the past, but now it's simple. This was discovered by Ke Wenbin recently. The blood of the Ghost Mother Cult can react with mugwort juice and change color." Mugwort?
"Why is it so?" Liang Qu knew that mugwort was just a very common plant that could be found everywhere and was very useful for repelling mosquitoes. "We guess it may be related to mugwort's ability to ward off evil spirits." "Will it ward off evil spirits?"
