The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 585

After listening to the plainclothes, he was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat.The pain all over his body intensified again, like a leech covering the skin, sucking blood so that every pore was steaming.

He drooped his head dejectedly, and begged with a mournful face:
"Two heroes, when Sergeant Liu asked, I said that the tombstone had been smashed, and I called the newspaper office. Do you have any other orders?"

Chen Xing suppressed a smile, with a serious face:

"This medicine is not enough to take once, it takes ten times to get better. You have to be obedient, tell us the information here in time, and promise to give you one every week."

He didn't dare not agree, and nodded heavily.The cold wind kept blowing and waited for the two of them to go far away before shrinking their necks and going around to the front of the police station.

After the figure disappeared from the field of vision, Qilan poured out the doubts that had been pent up for nearly an hour:

"Did you scare him just now? Baizhi never does such dangerous things. What is the 'poison' you gave? What is the 'antidote'?"

Chen Xing triumphantly took out a small bottle and shook it:

"At first, I was reluctant to take it out, but this is the Qudu Pill that Sister Baizhi specially gave you to treat your illness. As for the antidote, I think you can just use some Shujintongluo Pills to fool you."

"No matter how good the medicine is, it can't be eaten as a meal. If there is one less medicine in a bottle, it's fine."

Qilan's tone was generous, "Although I'm a young man, it's no problem coaxing the old fox. The medicine is worth it."

The two first walked in the small alley, walked for a long time, looked around, found no suspicious person followed, and finally came to the main road.

At dusk, the houses on the side of the road were all lit up.As the Chinese New Year approaches, the streets in the city center at night are quite lively despite the biting cold wind.

Some restaurants and pawn shops along the street have hung red lanterns, and the crowds under the lanterns can be seen from a distance.

Unexpectedly, at the corner of a busy street, Qilan inadvertently turned around and saw a very familiar bullock cart.

"Brother Chen, does that car seem to belong to your village?"

Chen Xing reluctantly withdrew his gaze from a nearby antique shop.

The shop area is very large, three or four times the size of ordinary shops.To have such a large antique shop in the center of the city, the boss must be strong.

Standing in front of the door was a beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a dress of an ancient lady in the cold weather, combing her hair beautifully, playing the pipa with a smile.

Probably because she is enthusiastic and courteous, the line at the door of the store is surprisingly long.

The crowds of customers seemed not to buy expensive and inedible ornamental antiques, but to wait for a table to be available for dinner.

Like those who lined up, Chen Xing was also attracted by this unique antique shop.Hearing his companion shout, he came back to his senses.

He glanced at the parked car and smiled shyly:

"This ox cart really belongs to Uncle Wang. It's a coincidence that we ran into each other for the second time today. I went to watch the excitement, but you have sharp eyes."

"Let's go and ask, why is the car parked in the city. It's easy to encounter hooligans and thugs here at night, so it's not a good place to rest."

"Uncle Wang may be taking pleasure in bitterness, but also to see what's new in the city. Since the gates of the city are only allowed to enter and not to exit, why not take a look at the bustling roadside without spending money?"

What kind of excitement can make Chen Xing, who has always been aloof, distracted?
Qilan cast a curious glance.

The winding team like a long snake is dizzying, but in an instant, the melodious pipa begins to play slowly.

He also saw the girl holding the pipa and playing it calmly.Although viewed from a distance, it can still be judged that its appearance is beautiful and its posture is elegant.

"This shop is so strange, it sells antiques, why does it want a beautiful woman playing the pipa to attract customers?"

"Is someone playing the pipa bothering you? You don't want to listen to it or watch it, it's up to you."

After Chen Xing finished speaking, he strode forward.

The ox cart stopped firmly.

The cow pulling the cart was chewing hay, the driver was eating a braised pig's trotter with relish, and watching the bustle of the antique shop.

The driver of the car met the boy's eyes, and suddenly panicked. He didn't eat the big piece of meat in his hand, and stuffed it greasy into his trouser pocket.

Qilan came to the front of the car first, and asked:
"The city is huge, why stop here?"

"Blind stop."

Chen Xing looked at the oil around his mouth and the bulging pockets of his trousers, laughed and said:
"Uncle Wang went to the city today to sell vegetables and made a fortune. He ate delicious braised pig's trotters. Why don't you treat us too?"

The driver was in a hurry, afraid that he really wanted to treat someone, so he waved his hand quickly:

"Where did I get rich? I sold all the cabbage and it's not enough to buy a pig's trotter! I took two guests to the city this morning for business, and they gave me money."

guest?

What guests can the village have that need to come to town?
Qilan's mind echoed what the old man who guarded the grave and the plainclothes in the church said, feeling a little worried.

Could it be that Zhang Wenxuan was worried about Yuexian and couldn't let go of his heart and went to the city?

He couldn't help but ask immediately:
"Is there someone who took a ride this morning wearing glasses, about 26 years old?"

"Yes," Uncle Wang didn't hide anything, "it's our Chen Ju family's temporary guest, the doctor who often treats our villagers."

"Juren?"

Qilan looked at Chen Xing in surprise, "Your father is still a Juren of the Qing Dynasty, a tiger father has no dogs."

"Hey, my father reads books and newspapers every day now. The family has a lot of land, enough rent money, and enough food, vegetables, meat and eggs. He has said goodbye to his career long ago."

"Is there a postman in your village every day?"

"My dad reads the newspaper alone in the village. He added some money for running errands, and the postman rode at dawn to deliver the newspaper from the previous afternoon."

After hearing this, Qilan's face changed slightly:

In the past few days, the news about General Hong's marriage has been published in the newspapers. If Lin Mi's father happened to read the newspaper in Chen's house and found out, would he also go to the city with Zhang Wenxuan?
"What does the other guest look like?"

"It seems to be 40 years old, quite tall, and has some coughs. I came with that doctor, probably to buy medicine?"

Before Uncle Wang finished speaking, Chen Xing also realized the seriousness of the matter, and asked hastily:
"Where did you two get off?"

"Right, right there—"

Uncle Wang couldn't recognize the streets and alleys in the city.Pointing roughly from memory.

Qilan understood.That direction is near Houhai, Zhang Wenxuan's uncle's house.

He silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.Chen Xing chatted with Uncle Wang as if nothing had happened.

Although the folk customs of Chenjia Village are simple and honest, they can't stand the crowd.

Don't let your father know that Lin Mi's father and Dr. Zhang are here to take refuge.So as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

They thanked the driver and ran towards the houses in Houhai.

Fortunately, the place where Mr. Lin and Zhang Wenxuan got off was Mr. Zhang Lao's house.If they had rushed to the cemetery immediately, they might have fallen into the trap set by Sergeant Liu.

Life and death are indeed the difference between a single thought.
The big lake in Houhai was frozen over, and the shining ice surface shone like a mirror under the moon.

Two figures stopped by the lake now, talking softly.

"You don't have to send me there, just go to my uncle's house to rest for a few days."

"Doctor Zhang, you saved my nephew and me. We, the Lin family, have not paid back the debt we owe you. Although my health is not as good as in previous years, at least I have a gun. It can protect you."
