Criminal investigation in ancient times

Uncle Han and He Xiangru followed behind. After running for a while, Dr. He was out of breath and said, "I...I can't run anymore...You guys go first!"

Uncle Han stomped his feet, pulled Dr. He up and said, "Go a little further, and Xiao Bai will drive the carriage over in a while! Several people hurriedly ran again.

Suddenly the people in front stopped, and Uncle Han dragged He Xiangru to wonder, why didn't they run away?I saw the two of them stepping back frequently.

Uncle Han: "Master...why not..."

Zhang Rui tremblingly said: "I can't go ahead..."

Looking forward, I saw countless green light spots moving forward little by little.

Zhang Rui swallowed, his legs were already a little weak, if it wasn't for Zhou Yin who was beside him desperately pulling him, he might have fallen to the ground and couldn't get up.

There were dozens of wolves densely packed in front of them!

What is unlucky, there are wolves in front, and there are pursuers behind... No wonder the old man said that there are monsters eating people in Zhenzi Mountain, it turned out to be these wolves!

How could there be a pack of wolves haunting this place?Everyone didn't have time to think, so they had to back away slowly, for fear that they would accidentally startle the wolves, and Xiao Ming would not be safe.

At this moment, Xiao Bai drove the carriage and said, "Master, my lord, get in the carriage quickly...wolves!!!"

Zhang Rui turned around abruptly and said, "Run!"

How could a man with two legs outrun a beast with four legs!Duan Xiaobai hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and took a sword to fight with the wolves privately, blocking the wolves.Frightened by these wolves, Marsh dragged the carriage and ran away.

When several people saw the horse running away, they hurriedly chased after it, but got separated while running...

Because Uncle Han was worried about his young master, he kept following him. By the time Zhang Rui came back to his senses, Zhou Yin was no longer visible.

"Uncle Han, where are they!"

Uncle Han gasped and said, "I don't know, I just ran with the young master and didn't see anyone else." Zhang Rui stomped his feet and turned around and ran towards the way he came.

Uncle Han hastily pulled him back and said, "Young Master, you don't want to die! Those wolves, even Duan Xiaobai may not be able to stop them all!"

Zhang Rui's anxious eyes turned red and he said, "How can I rest assured that Zhou Yin is alone! In case he is caught up by wolves..." He shook off Uncle Han and walked over there.

"Zhou Yin, where are you, Zhou Yin?!"

Uncle Han resigned to his fate and followed him back. The two of them walked all the way without meeting Zhou Yin, and even He Xiangru and He Xiangru. They only occasionally saw the corpses of one or two wolves.

Zhang Rui's voice was a little hoarse when he shouted, and his legs were running as if they had been filled with lead.Helplessly squatting down and panting heavily, he said, "I don't know where they went, what should I do now."

The two of them were resting, when suddenly a wolf sprang out from the bushes, pounced on Uncle Han, and bit him on the shoulder.

Uncle Han said in pain: "Master, go!"

Before Zhang Rui could react, he turned his head and saw that Uncle Han was already wrestling with the wolf.The bloody sweetness made the wolf go crazy and bite Uncle Han fiercely so that he would not let go.

Zhang Rui was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, he got up and turned around in circles, what to do, what to do!Can't let Uncle Han die!He hurriedly untied his belt and walked behind the wolf, stretched out his hand to tie the belt around the wolf's neck, strangled the wolf's neck with both hands, and exhausted all his strength, only one thought in his mind, kill it, kill it !Don't let Uncle Han die...

"Young master, let go, young master, he is dead!"

Zhang Rui was still tightening his belt, his eyes were lifeless, and his whole body was frozen like a stone statue.

Uncle Han reached out to hold Zhang Rui's hand and said, "Let go, young master."

The warm palm made Zhang Rui's blood flow again. He looked up at Uncle Han and said, "Is the wolf dead?"

Uncle Han nodded.

Zhang Rui showed a smile uglier than crying and said, "That's good." After saying that, he fell to the ground unconscious.

"Young Master, Young Master..." The voice in my ear got further and further away.Zhang Rui tried hard to open his eyes, but he couldn't open them no matter what.

What would you do if the person you loved lied to you?

What would you do if someone you loved made a big mistake?

Zhang Rui smiled and said, "Since he is the one I love, he will tolerate and forgive."

Suddenly someone laughed lightly...

Zhang Rui: "Who is laughing?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Zhang Rui covered his ears with his hands and said, "Stop laughing!"

"Hehehe...what? Don't you think you're ridiculous?"

Zhang Rui let go of his hand, and said slowly, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Didn't you start to suspect him a long time ago? Why do you still pretend to be pitiful?"

Zhang Rui grabbed his hair helplessly: "No, I didn't doubt him."

"Really? You started to doubt after Feng Xuan's death, maybe even earlier, when the young master of the Sun family died..."

Zhang Rui stared blankly and asked himself: "Have I been doubting him? No, no, no...I obviously love him..."

"In the Tongzhou secret road, you can come out safe and sound, don't you have any doubts? Then the Hun prince really has such good intentions to rescue you?"

"Feng Xuan's death was really just an accident?"

"Is there really that sea keel? You are a modern person, and you clearly know that this whale bone can't cure the poison."

"Could it be that the prefect of Jiangzhou really belongs to the eldest prince?"

"Are there really so many wolves outside Jiangzhou?"

"..."

Zhang Rui said angrily: "Don't say it, please don't say it!!!"

"I'm just in your heart. These are all your own thoughts. If you are as smart as you, why are you still deceiving yourself..."

Zhang Rui: "I myself..."

"Hehehe...hahahaha, so when will you be able to face reality."

He woke up suddenly, and found himself lying in a simple hut, looking around, but there was no one in sight.Zhang Rui couldn't help shouting: "Is anyone there?" But he didn't want the voice to be as unheard as a mosquito.

Suddenly footsteps came from outside, someone opened the curtain and saw him wake up, hurriedly said: "Grandpa, you're awake!"

Zhang Rui was stunned, seeing that this person looked familiar, but he didn't know his name and why he called him benefactor.

Seeing that Zhang Rui couldn't recognize him, the man smiled and said, "Your benefactor may not remember me, but he must remember my wife. Thanks to your lord, we left Tongzhou and came here." After a while, a woman opened the door and came in.

Only then did Zhang Rui remember that it was the woman who had been tattooed.

The woman hastily put down the work in her hand and said, "Grandfather, you are awake!"

Zhang Rui nodded slightly and said, "Why am I here?"

The two looked at each other and said, "I am the son I found in a bush when I went to cut firewood in the mountains. At first I thought I was wrong, but it took me a lot of effort to get my benefactor out, but it turned out that it was really you!"

Zhang Rui coughed twice, only to feel that his throat was dry and sore.Siniang hurriedly took the cup and poured water and handed it to him.After taking a sip, I felt a lot of cooling in my throat.

"Where's the man with me?"

Zhang Maode said: "I didn't find anyone else, I only saw the young master alone."

Zhang Rui was startled: Uncle Han was with him at that time, how could he not?

"Impossible, there should be someone beside me, Uncle Han... If he can't find me, he will be in a hurry." After speaking, he lifted the quilt and got up to go out.

Zhang Maode stammered: "Master, you...this...Master, I'm afraid of you..."

Zhang Rui grabbed his collar and said, "What's the matter? Tell me!"

Zhang Maode swallowed: "I... well, I found a severed arm under a tree. If it's that Uncle Han, I'm afraid he's in dire danger."

Zhang Rui's eyes went dark when he heard the sensation, he almost passed out, climbed off the bed, dragged him and said, "Lead me to have a look!"

Zhang Maode: "Grandpa, you are not in good health, you can't go out yet."

Zhang Rui hissed and said, "Take me there!!!"

Zhang Maode had no choice but to nod helplessly, carried Zhang Rui on his back and walked towards the wilderness.

Zhang Rui looked down at the messy footprints along the road, the tracks of the carriage, but there was no corpse of a wolf... His heart sank slowly.

Going forward, when we reached the place where Zhang Rui was found, Zhang Maode pointed to the side and said, "I found a severed arm here, so I buried it underneath...

Zhang Rui slid off him, hurriedly crawled to the place, and dug up the ground with his bare hands, one...two...finally, the bloody stump came into view.Intuitive chest churned, spit out a mouthful of sour water, sour tears flowed sideways.

The familiar sleeves, the calluses on his hands, caressed his shoulders countless times, carried him to run for his life, and protected himself from being bullied...

Zhang Rui held the half of his arm in his arms, frowned and shook his head, shaking back and forth like holding a child.His chest felt like someone had stabbed him with a sword, and he trembled from the pain.Finally couldn't help crying.

Uncle Han, we are not going to Kyoto anymore, we are going home...

***

When he woke up again, he was already back in the shabby hut.Looking at his arms, Zhang Rui was still holding the amputated arm. Zhang Rui had difficulty breathing, so he stood up with difficulty, wrapped the arm with cloth, and carried it on his shoulder.

The couple outside were packing their things in the yard, when they saw him coming out, they hurriedly said: "Grandpa, you're awake, why don't you lie down for a while, it's cold outside."

Zhang Rui smiled weakly and said, "I've been bothering you for so long, and I should leave. Don't call me benefactor again. I saved you once, and you also saved me. It's repaying the kindness." Stop dragging his heavy body out of the yard.

Si Niang hesitated, chased after her and said: "Grandfather... how can you go on the road alone, my lord, why don't you go wherever you want, let my man drive you for a ride."

Zhang Rui thought for a while and nodded, "Alright, then you can send me to a nearby town."

Si Niang hurriedly called her husband, put on the bullock cart and took Zhang Rui out of the house.

Zhang Rui sat in the car thinking about something, the car ran over a rock, knocked him back to his senses, looked at the road ahead: "I remember you two are from Qingzhou, why did you come to Jiangzhou? "

Zhang Maode smiled wryly and said: "It's a long story, we took the money that Mr. Ye gave us to save money and returned to Qingzhou. I thought it was over like this, and Siniang and I lived secretly under our identities. Knowing that when Siniang and I were selling things, we were discovered by the boy from Yuanwai's mansion. The boy went back and told Yuanwai. The two of us escaped before we could pack up our things."

Zhang Rui nodded and said suddenly, "How many wolves are there?"

Zhang Maode was surprised: "Wolf? I don't know, Siniang and I have been here for almost two months, and we have never seen a wolf... I don't know who told you that there are wolves here?"

Zhang Rui: "There are no wolves?! Then why is the town in front of us deserted?"

Zhang Maode said: "It is said that there was a plague of locusts a few years ago, which destroyed all the food in this place. People had no food and had to go to other places, so there were not many people in the town. Many of the remaining people were Scared by the locust plague, there was something wrong with my head. When Siniang and I first arrived, we were also frightened by them. Later, we found out that they had no malicious intentions. However, there are few people in this place and it is far away from Qingzhou. live here."

Zhang Rui nodded thoughtfully.The bullock cart walked for a while before reaching the town, the two said goodbye, and Zhang Maode bought some things and went back to the mountain.Zhang Rui wandered around the street with his baggage on his back.

"Little boy..."

Zhang Rui turned his head abruptly, and saw the white-haired old man again.

"Young master is alone?"

Zhang Rui said blankly, "I don't know either."

The old man laughed fiercely, "I'm afraid I met that man-eating monster. That monster came along with the wind, and wherever it went, everything was reduced to ashes..."

Zhang Rui ran away in a panic, the last glimmer of hope dying out.

Unknowingly, I walked to the door of the inn where I was resting that day, looked up at the plaque that was about to fall, gently opened the door and walked in.

There are still a few packages left behind, and fortunately there are few people in this town, otherwise they would have been taken away long ago.

Zhang Rui stepped forward, picked up the package, patted off the dust on it, opened the package, and couldn't help but get red eyes when he saw the clothes inside. Uncle Han bought the clothes for him when he left Jiangzhou.Then he opened Uncle Han's thin bag, and there were only two changes of green cloth clothes inside.

Zhang Rui sniffed and put the clothes together, took out the half amputated arm from behind, dug a hole behind the inn and buried it.After standing for a long time, he lowered his head and smiled, "Uncle Han, actually, I wanted to confess to you a long time ago that I am no longer your young master, but I couldn't say it out, because I was afraid that you would think I was crazy. From the very beginning From the fear and confusion of this world, until I gradually adapted to this dynasty, you are always watching me by my side, you are like a father to me." He knelt down and kowtowed three times.

"I am promising, you are happier than me, I am sad, you can't wait to feel sad for me..."

"Uncle Han, I decided to leave... At first I fantasized that it was all my suspicion, but now I can no longer deceive myself, forgive me for not being able to avenge you..."

"In my lifetime, if I have a chance to come see you again." He said, scooping up a handful of soil and sprinkled it on the dirt bag which is not considered a grave.Leave with your bags on your back.
