Chapter 397
It's a strange thing to say. In fact, it's not that the Bai family's oil is exhausted. Instead of waiting for the cruel prison disaster, it's better to end it first.
But what does death mean?
The specific boss Lei didn't ask. Xue tingji had to write down the matter first. If he had a chance, he had to make it clear.
After the calm, Pei Ming was supported by Xue ting to go back to the boat room to have a rest. At night, he did not dare to sleep deeply. He did not relax his vigilance after listening to the waves and the footsteps from time to time.
Suddenly, Pei Ming called him in a very low voice: "these people, what are you going to do?"
She said that although the illegal salt dealers led by boss Lei are guilty, they are not as good as the Liu family. Besides, helping them at present can make up for their mistakes.
Xue tingji thinks about it. Most of them don't accept the recruitment. They can only pay it in the future. At least, they will be punished lightly.
Pei Ming is noncommittal. She has a hunch that this trip may be useful to boss Lei, so don't expose it.
That night, I wandered through half of Yingzhou and arrived at Sanchuan before the light of the day came up.
At this time, it was the coldest time of the day. Nameless wrapped up his clothes, kept sucking his nose, and shivered down the boat. The rest of the people came back to the ground one after another. Xue tingji finally expressed his thanks to boss Lei.
"Although you don't think much of this small sum of money, you should give it as a gift of thanks. There will be a reward in the future. I will never break my promise."
Boss Lei is not polite. Maybe he's interesting. He's forthright. If there's any need in the future, just call one of his boats.
Xue tingji once again thanks, no longer delay to leave, after they left, the thunder boss's hand is particularly suspicious to scratch his head, "boss, what on earth did they come from?"
"Who knows." Boss Lei shrugged and didn't care, "it can't be the emperor."
Taking advantage of the dusk of dawn, a group of people came to the town of Sanchuan. It was not prosperous here. It was as peaceful as a paradise.
It's still early in the morning, and there is no one on the street. It's hard to find a shabby looking guest house. If it's not for the dim light from the crack in the door, it can hardly be seen that this is a place for business.
To be on the safe side, only Jin Zhan knocked on the door. After knocking for a long time, a middle-aged woman slowly opened the door. She rubbed her sleeping eyes and was about to say something. When she saw Jin Zhan's family, she said in surprise, "are you alone?"
Marigold replied, "are you the landlady? May I stay here? "
"Well Yes! Come on in
Seeing the proprietress's friendly and warm-hearted face, Jin Zhan just gave a shy smile, "then I want three rooms."
Xue tingji, Pei Ming and other talents show up in the owner's astonished eyes. The owner's wife is a little at a loss. She looks at them carefully. It doesn't look like the villain, so she has the courage to accept the house money.
"That Are you hungry now? Do you want me to make something to eat? "
"No need." Xue tingji didn't want to scare her and didn't trust the food she sent. He only asked if there was a hospital nearby.
It's really interesting. It's more winding if you don't cross the road. The landlady saw that they seemed very cautious and did not dare to go to the doctor rashly, so she took the initiative to help. Would you like her to invite the old doctor?
"I'll trouble you." Pei Ming, though he should, let Jin Zhan follow him. On the surface, he knows the way, but it's not good to trouble the landlady every time. In fact, he is monitoring, so that he doesn't have to find someone to pretend to be a doctor.
The landlady didn't think much about it. She pulled marigold out of the door with a smile, "Oh! I almost forgot that your rooms are upstairs, and the innermost three are There may be no one to live in for a long time. I'll clean it for you when I come back. "
It's said that southerners are introverted and reserved. There are also such cool people. Pei Ming can't help laughing and can't care about the dust. He lies in bed and has a rest.
After about two quarters of an hour, an old man with faltering hair was invited. Although he was dragged out of his sleep, he was still in good spirits.
Xue tingji doesn't take Qiao. She asks the landlady to get some hot water for her. Then she uncovers Pei Ming's collar. Her right shoulder injury has oozed a lot of blood. It really needs to be dealt with.
The old doctor was surprised for a moment. Then he calmed down and prepared things in an orderly way. The landlady ran with hot water, and when she saw the blood, she exclaimed, "Oh, how can a woman's home be hurt? What's the matter?"
Xue tingji and Pei Mingji looked at each other and sighed with guilt, "we are from the north. We wanted to do business, but something happened on the way and my wife was hurt."
Unexpectedly, the silent old doctor suddenly stopped his action. Although he recovered quickly, he could not escape their eyes. The landlady also changed her face, and her warmth and friendliness suddenly faded. Instead, she was alert and alienated.
"You What kind of business are you in? "
It's reasonable to say that a hostess shouldn't talk too much about this kind of problem. Pei Ming and Xue tingji just see the clue. People here Do you know something?
I don't know whether it's better to expose friends or enemies. Xue tingji continued to lie, "we are in short supply of medicinal materials and fur in the north. This is our first time to sell them in the south. As a result, we met robbers. We have no business to do. We plan to go back when my wife is well hurt."They are well dressed. The landlady is dubious. She will not be here if she can't see blood. If there is anything, just ask her.
Although the old doctor didn't say anything, he was obviously suspicious, because Pei Ming's wound was obviously cut artificially. Can ordinary businessmen know how to do this?
Seeing his doubts, Xue tingji didn't hide it. "At that time, my wife seemed to have been cut by the robber's knife, and the swelling was particularly frightening, so I gave her a blood Yes, is it wrong? "
"No The old doctor was always calm, "you've done the right thing." After that, he stopped talking. After applying the medicine to Pei Ming, he told him that he would come to change the dressing tomorrow.
Xue tingji was not at ease. After the old doctor went out, he secretly followed him. When he saw that the doctor was stopped by the boss's wife, they said a few words. Then the boss's wife looked up upstairs. He rushed back to the house and closed the door.
Marigold looked worried. They finally got out of the wolf's den, turned their head and entered the tiger's mouth. If they were in danger again, what would they do with their mother's hurt.
"Is the old doctor's medicine all right? Lady, do you think the wound is more painful
Pei Ming didn't say a word. After a moment, he shook his head and leaned on the pillow which was not soft and smelled of mildew. "It's the same everywhere. People here may know something about Kezhou. Let's wait and see what they will do."
