Inscription of Different Cases

When it comes to rich man Feng of Baochangba, everyone in the local area really knows everyone.This person is rich and powerful, and his son is a government servant in the capital, which makes him show off his power here, and ordinary people dare not offend easily.No, in early spring, he had just passed his fiftieth birthday and wanted to go for an outing in the fields.A total of ten female family members accompanied by the same company went, and more than 30 servants accompanied them. The grandeur was astonishing.

Mr. Feng and his favorite concubine, Mrs. Liu, sat alone in a big red lacquered sedan chair, traveling in the mountains and rivers all the way, very happy.At noon, he was in a good mood, and suddenly said that he wanted to leave the sedan chair and go for a walk in the field. The servants and female relatives tried to follow, but they were all blocked.

"When I was young, I traveled all over Heshan! What is the valley of no return? That's a rumor that only came out in recent years. Who dares to stop you? Do you think I'm too old!?"

Everyone was well aware of Mr. Feng's temper. When he got stubborn, he was like a donkey, and even a hundred people couldn't drag him back.Only the new Mrs. Liu, relying on her deep love, went up to persuade her delicately, but was slapped on the face by Mr. Feng, and immediately turned pale and retreated with red eyes.

This time, no one caught up with him, rich man Feng was agitated, and walked towards Linnei angrily, only a few loyal servants dared to follow him from a distance.Rich Lord Feng spent half an hour strolling around. The beautiful scenery around him was pleasant, and he gradually lost his temper.At this moment, a clear stream caught his attention. He walked too fast just now, and didn't even realize that the soles of his boots were covered with mud. This time, he stopped and wanted to go to the stream to wash off the mud with clear water.

It was very quiet in the woods, only the sound of gurgling water could be heard.Rich Mr. Feng sat on the grass, washing his boots in the water one by one.Occasionally, a few small fish swim in the stream, which are very cute.Not far away was an intoxicating fragrance of flowers, and the bright sunlight slanted down from the top of his head. Mr. Feng was fascinated by the scenery, he stopped his movements unknowingly, and took a deep breath of fresh air.

Suddenly, he felt something cold touch him.

It was soft and cool, and he thought it was a snake, so he jumped up.I turned my head and saw that it was just a green bug with countless legs, wriggling slowly on the grass.He breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that when he panicked, both legs stepped into the water.What is this?He stomped his feet, a look of resentment in his eyes.

Not a good day!

He stared at the wriggling worm, trying to crush it to death.Just a few steps away, a sticky tongue protruded out of nowhere, and the bug was swept away.Old Man Feng was taken aback, and raised his head. A strange monster was climbing on the branch in front of him. It was covered with colorful patterns, and a pair of faintly glowing snakes were staring closely at his eyes.

Mr. Feng was frightened and almost fell.At this moment, the monster suddenly rushed towards him, its icy body directly covered his face, and there was a stench, like the smell of mud that had been damp for a long time.

"Help, help--"

When the servants arrived, Mr. Feng had already fainted on the ground with a pale face, unable to wake up no matter what.

Since then, Mr. Feng has been plagued by nightmares and cannot afford to be ill.He described the monster's appearance, saying that it had a long body and short legs, colorful, and a lifelike face like a human. The yellow snake was even more frightening.The doctor couldn't understand what a human-like face was, so he hurriedly asked him to explain.Mr. Feng clutched his sweaty forehead and lamented, "It has expressions. When it looks at me, I think it is smiling."

When the doctor heard it, he was even more troubled: "This...is this a real human face?"

Mr. Feng shook his head: "No, it's long, flat, like a snake. But it's really smiling, he's looking at me, he's looking at me—"

After speaking, he couldn't hold on any longer, pushed the doctor away, staggered to the corner of the wall and vomited.

The doctor didn't believe in ghosts and gods, so he had to prescribe some shock medicine for him at the moment.Within a few days, Mr. Feng's arm began to swell and fester, causing excruciating pain.He had nightmares every night, dreaming of the same monster with teeth and claws. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the monster was no small thing, until one day he caught a glimpse of the decoration of the temple fair, and suddenly realized: "It's a dragon! It's a dragon god!"

The news that Mr. Feng offended the Dragon God spread quickly.The doctors said they didn't know how to cure it, and the witches they invited couldn't dispel the curse.After all, it is a god, and his wrath cannot be stopped by mortals.Some people even turned up the events of last year's catastrophe, saying that the earth trembled, the well water became stale, and Mr. Feng's serious illness was all related.Others said that Mr. Feng was self-inflicted, who made him show off his might and pretend to be extraordinary, look, he was condemned by God.

A few days later, Mr. Feng's illness did not improve at all, which worried the whole family.Coincidentally, a wandering doctor came to the village, who said he could cure all diseases.The Feng family quickly invited this person over, and when they entered the room, they found that it was a young man.He is tall and big, with a handsome face and a suave and unrestrained appearance.Several servants noticed something strange, this person's eyes were actually azure, when they were discussing, this person smiled modestly and said: "I am the reincarnation of the fairy fox, so I got such blue eyes."

The person who brought him over couldn't figure it out. He had clearly seen a sloppy person before, how could he go back and tidy up, and then he would completely change his appearance again?The clothes were changed, and the hair was combed, looking like a handsome young man.

After all, the Feng family lived in the countryside and had never seen the big world. Seeing the dignified appearance of this doctor, they believed his words.They invited the doctor into the back room, and the man took his pulse first, and then asked Mr. Feng carefully about the people he had seen and the places he had been to before his illness.Almost everyone in the room was interrogated by him, making it look like a case.

Later, he said that the disease can be cured, but it is difficult to cure it with medicine.The Feng family can pay him half of the deposit first, and he will go to the mountains to find medicine, and then come back to continue the treatment.Moreover, during this period of time, Mr. Feng cannot see the wind or expose himself to the sun. The Feng family must be pious, and the whole family must refrain from haste and impatience, and must not hire other doctors.

"What kind of medicine do you need?" Mrs. Feng asked nervously.

"A handful of bamboo lice, a can of children's poop."

The Feng family was dumbfounded.Tong Bian at least knew what it was, but he had never heard of this bamboo lice. Could it be that the doctor was fooling himself?

The blue-eyed doctor remained calm and calm in the face of everyone's questioning.He prescribed a pair of topical medicine for Mr. Feng, saying that he would know after trying it.

The Feng family tried it dubiously, and they saw that the swollen spots on Mr. Feng's arm showed signs of fading.They immediately believed that this doctor was really powerful, since he said he was going to the mountains to find medicine, let him go.

"What exactly is a bamboo lice?" Han Lang couldn't help asking when he heard this.

"A kind of small bug, I just said it casually. Of course, Tong Bian is too," He Yijiu replied, "This is our favorite trick in this industry. When we are not sure, we should first find a way out for ourselves. If the disease is not cured , I can say that the medicine is not in place, or that their family is not pious, in short, the deposit has been collected, so I can't rely on it."

Han Lang snorted, and said again: "What kind of prescription did you prescribe, why did it reduce the swelling?"

"It's just an ordinary cooling ointment, specially designed to treat poisonous insect bites."

"It's that simple?"

"How complicated do you think it is?" He Yijiu chuckled, "Other doctors can't cure them. First, they were fooled by the legend of the dragon god, so they dare not prescribe the medicine easily; second, the things Mr. Feng encountered were indeed strange. It's also unusual, they haven't seen it before; thirdly, in a small place like Baochangba, a rich man can hire such a brilliant doctor? His son is just a government servant in the capital, and only rural people like them can be one. Treasure."

Han Lang was left speechless by him, and finally sighed: "...you just took advantage of the loophole."

The Feng family looked forward to it a lot, and finally the doctor who had entered the mountain was looking forward to come back.When he came back, he brought bad news.He said that he tried his best, and there were no bamboo lice in the mountains, so he could only treat Mr. Feng in the absence of medicine.Whether Mr. Feng can be well or not depends entirely on his own luck.

As a result, a prescription was prescribed, and Mr. Feng miraculously opened his eyes.

"It's really a genius doctor—no, it's a fox fairy!" The Feng family almost fell to their knees in front of the doctor.

Soon, Mr. Feng was getting better day by day, the fever subsided, and the red and swollen areas were also scarred.Faced with the gratitude of the young and old, "Master Fox Fairy" smiled calmly, thanked them for the gold and silver, bowed and left.

"Really cured?" Han Lang asked.

"It's cured, and there are no sequelae," He Yijiu replied, then rolled his eyes and showed a smirk, "It's hard for them, the old man drank so much, and the smell of urine on his body is estimated to be three to five months old. Only then can it dissipate."

Han Lang didn't want to pay attention to his bad taste, and interrupted him directly: "You haven't told me what's going on."

He Yijiu blinked slyly, put a hand on Han Lang's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Have you heard of skinks?"

Han Lang shook his head.

He Yijiu showed an expression of "I know you are ignorant", and explained: "Strictly speaking, it should be regarded as a four-legged snake, also called Aunt Snake. Some individual ones can grow to be as big as three or four feet. It is generally not poisonous, but there are exceptions. Speaking of which, I saw one in southern Xinjiang five years ago. Although it would not die if bitten by a stone dragon, the wound could easily cause abscesses, but it was not fatal. Mr. Feng changed This is because he thinks wildly all day long, always feels that he is old and is not far from death, and scares himself. In the final analysis, it is just a heart disease."

After listening to him, Han Lang didn't answer for a while.He Yijiu patted him on the shoulder and asked, "What's the matter? I thought I was very powerful before, but now that I know the truth, you look down on me again?"

"Not at all," Han Lang said, "If I had some respect for you before, now I feel that you are really a bastard who only knows how to play tricks."

He Yijiu laughed loudly, and took the opportunity to slap Han Lang on the back: "That's good, my nature is so bad. If you are willing to call me brothers and sisters, I admire you."

Han Lang scolded "I want to be beautiful", turned around and kicked him.The two of them fought and walked away, and the official road became calm again.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and in the deep forest in the distance, there were occasionally one or two chirping of birds returning to their nests.Some of the calls were particularly crisp, but I couldn't tell what kind of bird it was, like an oriole or a chickadee.

Zhuzhen looked at the sunset glow in the west, and picked up the bamboo whistle in his hand again.The chirping sound resumed, causing a few birds returning to their nests to fly over him in a hurry.Missed the appointment?Zhuzhen came up with this idea.The employer this time is indeed weird, and has been unwilling to show his true colors.But giving money is a joy to give, and it doesn't look like someone who will break an appointment.

Could it be that he blamed himself for not killing the county lieutenant?

Zhu Zhen was born in a family of assassins, and now she is independent, taking on some odd jobs alone in the rivers and lakes.Zhuzhen is his code name, which is the name of a kind of emerald bamboo.In addition, he has many false names, but his real name has long been left behind.Usually he wears a mask, and his most used weapon is a poison dart, so some people in the world call him "Poison Hand" or "Faceless".

The more mysterious a person is, the more rumors there will be.Some people who don't know him think that behind his mask is actually an organization composed of many people.But he was never willing to explain, why should he care about all kinds of discussions behind his back when he was living a life of licking blood with knives.

This time the employer is not an ordinary person, he has already felt it.When the other party saw him for the first time, they said "you" instead of "you".The price he offered was considerable, and Zhuzhen had never taken such a job—he had assassinated businessmen and robbed confidential documents before, but no one had ever asked him to assassinate civilians, a total of 31.

sympathize with them?No, of course not, it just feels fresh.Now that the task was completed, although the county captain who suddenly appeared escaped, it was not in the way, since the other party was not among his targets.The employer asked him to meet here, but seeing that it was getting dark, the other party still didn't show up.

Zhuzhen suddenly had an ominous premonition.

It was getting late, and he was hesitating whether to leave first.At this moment, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps from all around, and he was stunned, and suddenly felt a sharp aura coming towards his chest. He resisted it all by instinct, and the metal collided with a "clang".

Counted!

Countless figures emerged from the darkness. It was hard to see how many, but they were all experts with excellent internal strength.Zhu Zhen felt bad, and immediately drew out the dagger from her waist to meet the enemy.The opponent obviously knew his weakness, even he was only good at long range attack but not good at melee combat.In an instant, seven or eight black shadows surrounded him, each masked with black cloth, leaving only a pair of murderous eyes.

Are you trying to kill yourself?Tsk, it seems that the remaining half of the commission is hopeless.

Zhuzhen didn't feel sorry for her own life, and after secretly complaining, she suddenly rolled to the right.The opponent's sword stuck tightly to the hem of his clothes and stabbed down, and he sprinkled a poison dart in his hand, nailing an enemy in front of him into a sieve.But suddenly two people flashed out from behind, Zhuzhen avoided one but couldn't avoid the other.Blood splattered everywhere, his shoulder and waist were hit by a sword, he stepped back half a step, and tried his best to parry the opponent's sword.Before he could catch his breath, more opponents flooded in, blocking his retreat.

"Who hired you?" Zhuzhen's tone was as cold as ice, blood dripped down her arm and fell to the ground.

No one answered him.

"I can pay ten times the price." He raised the dagger in front of him and said slowly.

The leader laughed with a "chi" and was about to open his mouth to mock his innocence.Just at this time, Zhu Zhen suddenly pulled back and hurriedly retreated, the other party was distracted by his previous words, and didn't even have time to shrink and surround her.Zhu Zhen quickly retreated two feet, a hidden weapon suddenly rolled out of her sleeve. With the sound of "Boom", the eyes were immediately blocked by black smoke.Everyone cursed and wanted to chase again, but when they rushed out of the smoke, Zhuzhen had already performed lightness kung fu and disappeared without a trace.

"He can't run away!" The leader shouted violently, "Follow the blood! Quick!"

Zhuzhen also knew that she was only able to escape for a while, and what would happen afterwards was still unknown.He hastily covered the wound on his waist and abdomen, and ordered a few acupuncture points to prevent excessive blood loss.

The coming of night and the obstruction of vision are both opportunities and troubles for him.Relying on the memory of the surrounding environment in the past few days, he groped to find a cave and dodged and hid in it.The enemy's footsteps have not yet been heard, and their breath cannot be felt.He didn't know how long he could hide here, so he immediately took out the golden sore medicine from the leather pouch on his waist, and first bandaged himself briefly.

The surrounding rocks were damp and cold.He was panting and sweating.The opponent's blade was poisoned, which was really a sinister method.Now that the venom has invaded his body, although he has been trained, he is still a little dizzy.

The entrance of the cave was not very safe, and his natural intuition reminded him that he should hide in a deeper place.The toxin made it difficult for his eyes to see in the dark, so he could only move forward step by step on his knees.Fumbling with his hand on the cold ground, he suddenly encountered a pool of cold soft objects.

He shuddered instinctively, the "cold meat" in front of him seemed to be disturbed from sleep, and moved slowly.He vaguely saw the living creature sticking out its sticky tongue like a snake, exhaling a foul-smelling and rotten cold air.Then, a body stood up, and the golden snake stared at him firmly.

He was suddenly terrified.
