Chapter 153 Food Chain
The drunk boy passed by Yizhuang and fell down in front of the courtyard gate.
Although the surrounding area was deserted, there was not a single pedestrian, and no one usually came to this area, especially at night. But Diao Dechao felt that it was unlucky and did not want to take action here, so he waited for the other party to get up before leaving.
After waiting for a while, the boy got up, but walked close to the wall of the yard. He seemed to be looking for something at the base of the wall, and found it.
The boy first removed the straw piled in the corner of the wall, squatted down, bent over, and was about to drill into the wall.
No need to think about it, there is a hole under the wall!
But the question is, how could he get into Yizhuang? Is he a human or a ghost?
Diao Dechao was startled and couldn't help but scream.
The drunk boy was extra vigilant and turned around immediately.
Diao Dechao subconsciously wanted to run, but before he could get very far, the drunken boy caught up with him.
After all, Diao Dechao had been malnourished for a long time and was exhausted after walking so many miles. He was no match for the fat and drunk boy.
The drunken boy knocked down Diao Dechao with one fist and shouted: Since you have seen me, I can't keep you!
The translation of this is: I'm going to kill you.
Diao Dechao struggled desperately, but was suppressed by the drunken boy's absolute weight.
Under the instinct of survival, Diao Dechao groped randomly on the ground and found a stone. Then he concentrated all his strength on that arm, swung it up, and hit the drunk boy on the head.
Failure or failure, Diao Dechao knew he had no choice.
Fortunately, he succeeded.
The drunk boy fainted. Diao Dechao checked his breathing and found that the boy was still breathing.
What should we do? Again, since he saw it, he couldn't keep him. Diao Dechao seemed to have no choice.
Diao Dechao first searched the drunken boy's body and found five taels of silver. Then he quickly gnawed off a chicken leg and drank all the wine in the jug. While the wine was still strong, he used a larger stone to
, and hit the drunk boy on the head again.
Leaving the corpse lying on the street like this? That's definitely not possible. Anyway, there is Yi Zhuang next to it. If you can hide the body in Yi Zhuang and mix it among the corpses, you might be able to get away with it.
As long as the body is disfigured beyond recognition, maybe no one will be able to recognize the drunken boy.
He did what he said. After eating chicken legs and drinking wine, Diao Dechao regained some strength. He stuffed the body into the small hole at the base of the wall that could only be passed by one person, then got in himself, and finally stretched out an arm to grab the surrounding straw.
Come here and block the entrance to the cave.
The yard of Yizhuang was filled with gloomy wind, as if it was separated from the outside by a wall but belonged to two different worlds. Diao Dechao, who had just killed someone, was trembling with fear.
But after touching the five taels of silver in his pocket, he still made up his mind and began to destroy the corpse and eliminate traces.
Diao Dechao thought he could not enter the morgue, but he did not expect that there was no padlock on the door. He pushed it gently and the door opened.
After daring to drag the body in, Diao Dechao first kowtowed to the drunken boy three times, apologized and repented, and then raised a huge boulder and smashed it down with all his strength.
The corpse was unrecognizable and bloody, as if it had been bitten by a wild animal. It was enough to do this, and Diao Dechao would not be able to support it physically if he did it any more, and he would have to vomit out the delicious food and wine he had just eaten.
Diao Dechao carried the blood-stained murder weapon stone and returned the same way.
That night, Diao Dechao never closed his eyes for a moment, and was trembling with fear. The five taels of silver he had snatched were hidden with him, and turned into a branding iron, burning his skin.
After the rooster crows in the morning, he is still staring at a pair of bloodshot eyes, not sleepy at all. He, a beggar, has such a huge sum of money, how can he dare to sleep.
Suddenly, a man in rich clothes stood in front of him and threw two pennies into his broken bowl.
Diao Dechao habitually raised his head to thank him, but saw a familiar face.
Almost everyone in Linfu County knew that person. He was the famous Doctor Xue.
Divine Doctor Xue Xue Yintian looked around and after confirming that no one was around, he squatted down and asked in a low voice: Do you have the guts to kill people, but don't have the guts to sleep?
Diao Dechao was so frightened that he almost peed.
Doctor Xue said again: I saw it all last night. I know that you have dirty money that was stolen from you. Do you dare to spend this money? How do you spend it?
Yes, Diao Dechao was a beggar. He had so much extra money for no reason that he couldn't spend it at all. Silver, not copper coins.
Diao Dechao knelt down to Dr. Xue and begged him to let him go. He was just very hungry and wanted to grab the roast chicken.
Doctor Xue waved his hand and said: Now that the matter is over, what good will it do to me if I send you to the government again? And I have always sympathized with you beggars, and I don’t want to see you with no food to eat and no clothes to cover your body. The so-called rich family smells of wine and meat.
, there are bones frozen to death on the road, it’s sad and deplorable.
Diao Dechao didn't understand. Doctor Xue seemed to want to let him go.
Doctor Xue pointed to a more hidden corner, then took the lead and waved to Diao Dechao.
Diao Dechao was so confused that he followed him without any control.
Doctor Xue leaned into Diao Dechao's ear and said: I have a way to save all the beggars in Linfu County, make you all well-fed and clothed, and make you the leader of the Beggar Gang.
Next, Doctor Xue explained his plan to Diao Dechao in detail, and finally concluded:
Neither of us can come forward in this matter, we have to be passive. I know there is a monk named Jiyuan who returned to secular life. He returned to secular life for a woman. If he wants to get married, he needs money. For money, he can do whatever he wants.
"What happened next is as you know. As for Ji Yuan, although he returned to secular life, he still believed in karma and retribution and did not want to stay in this land of right and wrong for a long time. He left Linfu County with his beloved woman. Before leaving
, he also advised me to restrain my greed and stop as soon as possible.
"But, it's all my fault for being too greedy. If I had contented myself to stop and escape as soon as possible, before the ghost of the person I killed revived, my feet would not..."
The leader of the gang, a man about forty years old, hugged the quilt and cried bitterly.
The biggest question now is, who is this person who died two years ago? Why did someone disappear for no apparent reason, with no one looking for him or reporting him to the authorities?
The next second she had doubts, Yu Qingfeng suddenly understood. She already knew the identity of the deceased. But another doubt arose. If she wanted to find out the whole story, she could only find another key to the whole incident.
Person——Xue Yintian.
Yu Qingfeng felt that she was tracing back a food chain. Pan Dacai was at the bottom, Diao Dechao was the one who was the fish and meat of Pan Dacai, and Xue Yintian was the one who deceived and used Diao Dechao. I hope there is no one above Xue Yintian.
How could it happen that Xue Yintian didn't return to his place of residence, Yao Zhixian, before the curfew, wander around Yizhuang, and witness the murder? He must be the instigator.
"How is Doctor Xue doing lately?" Yu Qingfeng asked Diao Dechao, "Is his health okay?"
"I don't know. Doctor Xue has not opened any clinic since he lived in the Yao magistrate's house. He usually lives in seclusion. My brothers outside said that they rarely see him. When I see him occasionally, he doesn't look like he is sick.
"When my foot started to ulcerate, I went to see him. I told him that this was retribution, but he didn't believe me. He said that this was my illness and that there were no ghosts in the world. He prescribed medicine for me and took it.
It didn't look good, so he finally left a message: If you want to survive, you have to amputate the leg before the ulcer develops!
"Then I never saw Dr. Xue again. I went to see him, but he avoided me. I sent someone to pick him up to see me, but they didn't even come. I went to other doctors, and they also said they would ampute the leg, but
The chance of survival after amputation is only 30%. Besides, the pain of amputation is not something that ordinary people can bear."
Poor people must be hateful. Yu Qingfeng had mixed emotions towards Diao Dechao, but there were some things she couldn't say, "Even if you succeed in amputation this time to save your life, I'm afraid the other foot will rot away soon."
In the conscience of heaven and earth, Yu Qingfeng is just stating objective facts.
Diao Dechao seemed to be struck by lightning. After a moment of relief, he suddenly wanted to get out of bed and rush towards Yu Qingfeng.
Yu Qingfeng was so frightened that she stepped back.
Diao Dechao fell off the bed with a thud, and then knelt down to Yu Qingfeng with a thud.
"Help me, girl, please save me. Now I can only count on you. I don't want to die, I don't want to..."
Everyone can understand the feeling of not wanting to die. Yu Qingfeng can understand Diao Dechao's feeling of not wanting to die even more. He finally lived a different life from the past, so how could he be willing to die like this?
Yu Qingfeng waved her hand to Diao Dechao and quickly went back to bed, "I understand, I understand. There are two ways before us now. First, accept this resentful ghost who wants revenge; second, save him.
"Choose the first option. If I fail, I, you, and Doctor Xue will all die immediately. Choose the second option. Even if I fail, I can buy some time to think of another solution."
Diao Dechao was not stupid, he immediately held out two fingers and said, "Choose the second option. To save him is because I am ashamed of him and I am willing to admit my mistake."
"If you want to be saved, you must find out who he is and set up a memorial tablet for him."
"Ah? This, this... I really don't know who he is."
Yu Qingfeng waved her hand, "It doesn't matter. I'll check the identity of this resentful ghost."
"Can you find it? But time..."
"Don't worry, there's still time, it's only in these two days. Then I will go back to discuss with my brother, find out his identity, and prepare for salvation."
Diao Dechao prayed again and again with great expectation and swore that if he could survive this time, he would definitely change his past, enshrine the memorial tablet of the resentful ghost forever, eat fasting, chant Buddha's name, and do good deeds to accumulate merit.
After Yu Qingfeng left the beggar gang, Dalinzi and Lao Sun were both very hungry, so they bought some food on the street and ate while walking.
"Where should we go next?" Dalinzi asked.
"Go to Yao Zhixian's home."
"Ah? Who do you think we are? We can easily enter the magistrate's mansion?" Old Sun seemed to have heard a big joke.
"Who said we were going in? We were waiting at the door."
"What's the use of guarding?" Lao Su still disagreed, "You have to hurry up. It's been a day and a half since the three-day appointment."
"As long as I guard it, I will definitely gain something." Yu Qingfeng was full of confidence.
Now even Dalinzi showed contempt, "Why?"
