Seeing the man walk in, Li Rengui's mind was completely clear, he remembered how he was attacked, the man had been following behind, taking advantage of the silence of the night, coldly slashed through his right face with an axe, and then, he put himself in a sack and carried it here.
Seeing the figure approaching little by little, he endured the pain, got up to run, and before his legs could stand straight, his body rolled forward heavily, and even the person with the chair hit the ground, and the hard floor touched the wound, he let out a silent moan, and the muscles of his whole body trembled in pain.
It turned out that his hands and feet had long been bound by hemp rope, and he couldn't move at all, and he shook violently, watching the man walk in front of him.
The last glimmer of hope in his heart was sucked away, and he began to cry aloud, waiting for the shadow of death to come over.
However, the man stood for a moment, and suddenly grabbed him by the hair and walked out the door, like dragging a bag of rice.
When passing by the door, Li Rengui's head hit the threshold, he heard a "clatter", and knew that his skull was broken, the man stopped and glanced at him, muttered a muttered sentence indistinctly, and immediately pulled him and pulled him into the courtyard.
He dragged Li Rengui to the middle of the courtyard, carried him to a stone table, stared at the bloody face for a while, and then walked to another house by himself.
The starlight was very bright tonight, shining on Li Rengui's broken face, transforming into a strange color.
Now he can't even moan, his ears are buzzing, he can only hear his own intermittent breathing, and nothing else.
The starlight suddenly dimmed, Li Rengui found that he was shrouded in a shadow, his eyes turned to the side, it turned out that there were a few more people beside him, they were carrying a bronze tripod more than half a person high, and carefully placed it in front of the stone table.
Li Rengui didn't know what was inside the ding, but he could hear the sound of breathing inside.
"Whew" Heavy and slow That thing seems to be sticking to the ding wall, yes, it is the ding wall facing itself, what is it doing?
Is it smelling of him?
Just when Li Rengui was about to collapse, he saw the few people holding the bronze tripod standing in a row in front of the tripod, kneeling down in unison, and saying a string of words he didn't understand.
The voices grew louder and faster, and they seemed to be chanting, and they were screaming, mixed with a few cries, as if they were grieving to the extreme.
Just as his whole heart tugged at what he heard, the sound stopped abruptly, as if it had been sucked into the night.
"Whew" The sound of Dingli's breathing became louder and louder, and the Dinglid was shaken to a "click", and the things inside seemed to be unable to hold back, struggling to get out.
Li Rengui shuddered suddenly, and he found that the person who was dragging him was already standing next to the stone table at some point, he stared at himself, and slowly raised the sharp axe in his hand that shone with cold light.
"I really read it right, when the Huofu incident happened, I thought she was a brave and resourceful woman, daring to break free from the shackles and come out of an unhappy marriage, now it seems that she has finally found her own happiness, and it is also God's reward for her."
Yan Niang chatted with Jiang Xixi while embroidering.
"No, that Shen Qing is a weirdo, and I don't know if he and Miss Qiao get along."
Jiang Xixi pulled a dog's tail grass and played with it in his hand.
"With Miss Qiao's temperament, if she doesn't want to, even if ten fathers force her, I don't think she will marry, so don't worry about her.
But you said Shen Qing was strange, what is the blame?
” "I heard Miss Qiao say that this person is not working hard in his career, but he is very interested in the wrong way, and he knows everything about astronomy and geography, fish, insects, birds and beasts.
It is said that when he was a soldier in Hebei, he did not practice the art of war every day, but wandered around, idle, and was finally driven home by his boss.
By the way, I went to Shen's house to see what kind of armillary sphere he made, it was obviously a circle made of a few bamboo strips, but he said that the broken thing can observe the sky, you say it's not funny. ” Yan Niang put down the needle in her hand, and looked at Jiang Xixi with a pair of phoenix eyes, "Are you talking about the armillary sphere?"
” "That's right, it's this thing, Miss Yan, you also know it, it turns out that it wasn't made up by Shen Qing."
"The ancients believed that the armillary sky was like a chicken, the celestial body was round like an egg ball, and the earth was like a chicken in the yellow, so they created an armillary sphere to observe the stars and predict bad luck, but the armillary sphere has been lost until now, Shen Qing used bamboo strips as a model, is to try to recreate it, I think he has some ability, no wonder Miss Qiao can look at him."
"Well, it seems that he's a weirdo, not a waste, but I'm underestimating him."
Yan Niang picked up the needle again, "Do you have a clue about that case?"
” "Is the girl talking about the murder of Yuan Qi?
I went to his house and asked, and the family said that they didn't know what Yuan Qi was going to do that day, so I went to the market and asked a few shops, not to mention, there were really people who saw him, but they only saw him drinking tea at the tea stall, and they didn't pay much attention to where the people went. ” Yan Niang frowned and pondered, "What he has to do must not be urgent, otherwise he will not have the time to drink tea, so Yuan Qi should have encountered an accident on the way back to Qiao's Mansion after finishing his own affairs, so that Chen Corpse Creek could never go home again." ” "Miss Yan, does Yuan Qi's death have anything to do with those evil crooked ways?"
Jiang Xixi asked in a low voice.
"Judging from the appearance of the corpse, I don't see anything abnormal, just like Lord Cheng said, his arms were cut off with sharp weapons, so Yuan Qi must have been killed.
But I can't figure out the reason for killing someone, why use such a troublesome method when killing someone, he obviously has a hundred easy methods to choose from, why did he choose such a difficult one.
Also, where was Yuan Qi's arm discarded?
Did he not want the stumps to be discovered, or did he simply keep them for other purposes?
These are still unsolved mysteries. ” "Shi Fei and the others have been searching the canal for a few days, but they haven't found any other parts of Yuan Qi's body," Jiang Xixi suddenly stood up, "No, I still have to go there to have a look, then maybe the murderer will leave some clues by the river." ” After speaking, she didn't even have time to say goodbye, so she hurriedly walked out of the gate of Jihong Embroidery Village.
Yan Niang shook her head faintly, "I've been out for so long, and it seems that this urgency hasn't slowed down at all." ”
