Chapter 231: Hou Mansion of Lantian County
Du Hong did not react to the words "hybrid rice", and he was not even interested in rice seeds, after all, this is Guanzhong, there is less rice, and the people have a large variety of millet instead of rice.
However, when he saw that Li Hao valued these rice seeds so much, he guessed that they must be good things, and suddenly held the rice seeds like a treasure, and covered the bag with the other hand, as if he was afraid that the rice seeds would fly away.
At this moment, the ragged woman walked out of the hall, Li Hao naturally saw it, and couldn't help asking: "This is ......"
Du Hong hurriedly explained: "Back to the young master, this girl hasn't eaten for several days, she got sick again, and finally fainted in front of the mansion. ”
"Oh." Li Hao nodded, "It's a good job, save people's lives, and win seven bodhisattvas." ”
Du Hong beckoned to the girl: "Miss Xiaoqin, come here, this is the master of our family, come and thank the young master for his great kindness." "When she kowtowed to Du Hong before, she already called herself Xiaoqin, so Du Hong also called her that.
The girl named Xiaoqin hurriedly ran over, kowtowed to Li Hao, and said, "Xiaoqin, thank the young master for his kindness." ”
"Hurry up, please." Li Hao bent down and grabbed her arm, helped her up, and asked with a smile, "Your name is Xiaoqin?" ”
"Yes." The girl nodded.
Li Hao asked again: "What's your surname, where is your home, and are there other people in your family?" ”
The girl said slowly: "My surname is Yuan, I have no home, my parents died when I was very young, and I have been raised by children until now, forcing me to work every day, and I am often beaten and scolded, and now the family is forcing me to marry his son, I refuse, so I ran out." When she said this, she was already in tears, and she looked very pitiful.
"Oh, it's a child bride." Li Hao sighed when he heard this, and said, "Since you have no relatives and no reason, and you are adrift, can you think of a place to go, or what other relatives can you turn to?" ”
"Nope." Yuan Xiaoqin shook her head sadly, raised her dirty sleeves to wipe away her tears, and said pitifully, "Please also ask Gongzi to take Xiaoqin in, Xiaoqin will repay Gongzi's great kindness by being a cow and a horse." ”
Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "It's not necessary to be a cow or a horse, anyway, there is no shortage of food for you in my house, so you can stay, Du Hong, you can arrange it." ”
"Yes, young master." Du Hong was happy to accept his life when he heard this, he also felt sorry for this girl, Li Hao was able to keep her, he was very happy.
At this moment, a woman suddenly exclaimed outside the door of the house: "Dad, Dad, what's wrong with you......"
Li Hao frowned when he heard this, turned around and came to the door, only to see a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman kneeling beside an old man outside the door, calling out to the old man with an anxious expression, the old man was lying on the ground, his eyes were closed, and he didn't move.
Li Hao hurriedly took someone over and stepped forward to ask, "Girl, what's going on?" ”
The girl raised her head, showed a delicate face, and said with tears in her eyes: "My father fainted, my father suddenly fainted, what should I do, what should I do......"
"I'll take a look." Li Hao squatted down to check on the old man, and found that his pulse and breath were completely gone, his heartbeat was gone, and he was obviously dead.
He could only get up and sigh, "Girl's Day, your father has passed away. ”
"No...... It can't be ......," the girl cried out in dismay, her head shaking into a rattle, completely unwilling to believe what was in front of her, "it was fine just now, he was fine just now...... Why did you suddenly ......?"
Seeing her crying so miserably, Li Hao didn't know how to comfort her, he turned his head to look around, and sighed helplessly: "Lu Yun, go to the city to buy a coffin and help this girl bury her father." ”
"Yes." Lu Yundang took the order and left.
After Lu Yun left, Li Hao asked the girl: "Girl, what do you call it?" ”
The girl replied, "The slave's name is Minghui." ”
Li Hao nodded and asked, "Where was the girl originally going to go with her old father?" ”
Minghui said: "My hometown was flooded, my mother and my second brother's family died in the flood, my father and I fled all the way here, trying to find our long-lost eldest brother, who knew that my father happened to have a heart attack......" She said this, and couldn't help sobbing again.
Li Hao frowned slowly when he heard this, and saw that the sun was basking on his head, so he sent someone to get a parasol to shade the girl first, and then went back to the house by himself.
Li Hao took two large carts into the house, escorted by the Flying Eagle, and the people in the family all dispersed very consciously, when Li Hao lifted the curtain covering the car, the Flying Eagle team members were stunned for a while, only to see that it was all some strange things, and there were a lot of boxes, the material was so special, it seemed to be metal, and it looked like leather.
Li Hao asked them to move all their things to their rooms, and then they went into the room and didn't come out.
Lu Yun quickly bought a coffin and helped Minghui bury her father, at this time it was late, but Wang San came to Li Hao's door to call Li Hao, Li Hao opened the door very unhappily and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Wang San said: "Young master, the girl named Minghui refused to leave, knelt at the door and said that she would sell herself to our house to thank the young master for his great kindness to bury his father." ”
Li Hao frowned and waved his hand: "Let her go, just say that there is no shortage of people in our house." ”
"Yes." Wang San was ordered to retreat.
Li Hao returned to the room and continued to tinker with his new gadgets.
But after a while, Wang San came to pass the word again: "Young master, Miss Ming still refuses to leave, and is still kneeling at the door." ”
Li Hao dropped the things in his hand when he heard this, frowned and snorted coldly: "Okay, all of them can play Infernal Affairs, first a Yuan Xiaoqin, and then a Minghui, all of them find out my weakness, know that I feel sorry for women, right, treat me as a fool, special mother, okay, come, who is afraid of whom!" ”
After muttering to himself, he turned his head to the door and said, "Okay, take her!" Go to Du Hong to arrange! ”
After finishing speaking, he couldn't help sighing: "Two at once, were they sent by Li Shimin?" Hmph, sure enough, the companion is like a tiger, he doesn't trust me at all, the sorrow of the emperor. ”
That night, a thin black figure flew up to the roof of the middle courtyard, ran forward for a distance, stopped, squatted down and gently pulled out the roof tiles, which was Li Hao's room below.
As soon as she pulled out the tile, she suddenly felt a chill in her neck, and a Tang knife had rested on his shoulder, and then Lu Yun's cold voice came from behind: "Who sent you?" ”
"Ding", I saw that the black figure rotated at an extremely fast speed, and actually dodged Lu Yun's blade, Lu Yun wanted to swing the knife to cut down, but was blocked by the stainless steel dagger in his hand, and the fire was shining.
"Good kung fu!" Lu Yun couldn't help but admire, to be honest, he hadn't met such a master for a long time, and he immediately wanted to come forward and fight him.
Who knew that there was a muffled sound of "poof", and the black shadow's body shook violently, only to see that the chest was pierced by a feather arrow, and the feather arrow passed directly through the chest, leaving a blood hole, and blood suddenly gushed out.
Lu Yun was stunned when he saw this, and saw Li Hao standing in the courtyard, looking at this side with a strong crossbow in his hand.
"You...... You ......" The black-clad masked man struggled to speak, but his throat was filled with blood, and then his mouth began to bleed, his gaze glazed over, and then he collapsed on the roof.
Lu Yun stepped forward and used a Tang knife to pick open the black scarf covering his face, and when he saw his face, Li Hao asked leisurely: "Is it Minghui or Yuan Xiaoqin?" ”
Lu Yun replied: "It's Yuan Xiaoqin." ”
"Oh." Li Hao sighed lightly, didn't say anything, asked Jin Li to bring a wooden ladder, walked up to the roof, and sure enough, he saw Yuan Xiaoqin lying there in a night suit, he reached out and searched Yuan Xiaoqin's body, except for a bottle of gold sore medicine, there was nothing else.
Lu Yun asked curiously at this time: "Young Master, why can you see at a glance that she has a problem with Minghui?" ”
"It's simple." Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "She said that she was a child daughter-in-law and worked every day, but her hand skin was quite tender, indicating that she did not work every day, and I also found that her palms and tiger's mouth were cocooned, in this era, a person with this kind of cocoon on his hand must be a warrior, and these cocoons are caused by the use of swords." ”
Lu Yun couldn't help but spread out his palms when he heard this, indeed, he was an old driver with a knife, and he had a thick cocoon on his hand, and there was also a tiger's mouth, he spread out Yuan Xiaoqin's palm again, and sure enough, he found that Yuan Xiaoqin's palm and tiger's mouth also had calluses, but the cocoon on Yuan Xiaoqin's hand was very thin, Li Hao prompted: "Her cocoon is not as thick as yours, which means that she may wrap the handle or hilt of the sword with a thick cloth when she practices the sword, so there are not many cocoons." ”
"Awesome, you know that." Lu Yun sincerely admired Li Hao, and suddenly asked again, "Then why do you think that Minghui also has a problem?" ”
"It's even simpler." Li Hao smiled lightly, "Compared with Yuan Xiaoqin, Minghui's flaws are bigger, Yuan Xiaoqin's flaws are in hand, but this is also a helpless thing, she can't chop off her hands, and Minghui's flaws are in IQ, my location in the Hou Mansion is above the lonely gang, she said that she was looking for the eldest brother with the old father, passing by my door, alas, where can I go to pass by my door, this detour is too obvious, the logic doesn't make sense, when I'm stupid?" ”
"Admire, admire." Lu Yun gave Li Hao a thumbs up and praised again and again, "Young Master, when did you become so powerful, it's like a torch." ”
"Huh." Li Hao pretended to smile very much, turned around and faced the direction where the evening wind was blowing, let the wind blow his clothes and hair, and said with a pretending to be full of compulsion, "If you can't even see through this little trick, then my detective Conan with more than 800 episodes has not been watched in vain?" ”
Lu Yun didn't understand this sentence, and wanted to ask, but he felt that he was too ignorant, so he could only change his words and ask: "Young master, do you want to arrest Minghui?" ”
"Not necessarily." Li Hao waved his hand and said softly, "After all, they were sent by the emperor to give the emperor a little face, but ...... You keep an eye on me, if she dares to mess around, cut it first and then play. ”
"Yes!" Lu Yun lifted the Tang knife upside down and gave up his hand.
After Li Hao finished speaking, he went down from the wooden ladder to the roof, called Jin Li, and said, "Shopkeeper Jin, take someone up and get the corpse away, throw it away, don't frighten the villagers." "Gionee's code name in the special team is called Jin Shopkeeper.
"Yes." Jin Li took a few special combat team members to the roof, moved Yuan Xiaoqin's body down, put it into a sack, and quietly transported it out of the Hou Mansion.
Jin Li and his entourage of five threw Yuan Xiaoqin's body at the foot of a small hill twenty miles south of Shanghe Village, which was a small barren mountain where jackals occasionally appeared, and ordinary villagers did not dare to approach.
When Jin Li and the others left, more than a dozen figures suddenly appeared sneakily, went up to open the sack, untied the mouth of the sack, and after seeing Yuan Xiaoqin's body, everyone exclaimed, and then heard someone: "Unbelievable!" Hurry up and report to the young master and the national teacher, Miss Yuan has been killed! ”
