Xu Jinyu entered the house and lay down on the bed before taking off his official boots.

The daughter-in-law complained that he had made the official uniform wrinkled and tattered, and that it had to be mended, starched and washed for a long time. However, he gave her a cold look and immediately silenced her, not daring to complain again.

Xu Jinyu slept for three days in one sleep.

Mrs. Xu, with her limited financial resources, also found a three-day doctor. After taking her pulse, the visiting doctors all shook their heads and said they didn't know where the disease was. They probably contracted malaria during the storm, but when they inquired about it, they still couldn't tell the reason.

.

Three days later at night, Xu Jinyu woke up from a suffocation of bitter water. When he opened his eyes, he saw that his wife was crying at the corners of his eyes. She opened the corners of his mouth and poured a bowl of hot bitter medicine into his mouth with great effort.

"Don't bother." Xu Jinyu's voice was hoarse, as if he had just woken up from a serious illness and was very weak.

Ordinary people will suffer from various discomforts after lying down or sleeping for a long time, such as soreness, numbness and pain in the waist and legs, and muscles and bones that are as awkward as rust. Not to mention Xu Jinyu, who had been busy for a long time that day and had already carried the horse to the mountain col for more than ten miles.

It's really not easy to still be able to barely make a sound at this moment.

As soon as Mrs. Xu heard this, she immediately threw the bowl of soup and medicine on the ground, threw herself on Xu Jinyu, and cried so hard that her heart broke. It was natural for a weak woman to have her husband fall asleep for three days in a row, and she was afraid.

.Very different from his usual habit of never giving up anything. He spent almost half of his family's money on hiring a doctor, but it still didn't work. He almost had to endure his grief until Xu Jinyu woke up.

In the past three days, Mrs. Xu was as miserable as shedding her skin, so she didn't care about anything else. She hugged her husband and cried until she cried. She no longer had the arrogance and indulgence she usually had in normal days.

Poor Xu Jinyu, who had just recovered from his sleep, was overwhelmed by his plump and delicate body, and his waist and legs were almost broken, and he gasped in pain.

"Daughter-in-law, I want to practice martial arts seriously. If there is a show, I will find a mountain gate to come in." Xu Jinyu hugged his wife, looking a little unnatural. Mrs. Xu has been hardworking and hard-working since she got married.

I haven't bought a lot of cosmetics, so I've fallen into the habit of being very careful about every penny. I think so, in such a remote and unpopular area, how can the family be so well-off for a small policeman.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Xu struggled to get up from the bed, packed up her clothes and the few pieces of jewelry she had brought with her, and said nothing from the beginning to the end.

Xu Jinyu lowered his eyebrows and spoke after a long while, "If that doesn't work, you can go back to your parents' house to stay for a while. It's inconvenient on the road, and I guess the threshold of the Xian family is high, so it won't be a problem for you to go along with me."

It was said that she wanted to clean up the clothes, but there were so many clothes that could be cleaned. Three times five divided by two, Mrs. Xu had already packed everything. She wiped her tears and asked, "I must be very hungry and talking nonsense. I'll go and do it for you."

Noodles." After saying that, he turned around and left.

"It's not nonsense."

"I have a very good brother who died in the hands of my enemies." The moonlight shines through the window lattice, and Xu Jinyu's face is full of desolation at this moment. "I thought, I can't call you brother in vain. There are some things he didn't accomplish. I have to

Give it a try, just in case.”

Mrs. Xu's back stiffened.

Of course she knew who the brother Xu Jinyu was talking about. In the nearby county, the only person who could be called a brother was the skinny monkey-like Ma Si. She thought back then, the couple had a lot of troubles over him, and often

In the end, it always ends with Xu Jinyu getting beaten.

Now, Ma is dead.

In the evening of the next day, Lingyang County was missing a policeman and a woman who was usually trivial but very upright in her treatment of others.

The silver coins that Yan Siguan left beside the tomb in Qingshan became the cost of the carriage on the road. The two never said hello in advance, and even met before the heavy rain, but they knew each other tacitly. Yan Siguan must know that Xu Jinyu must

Coming to visit Ma Si, Xu Jinyu understood that the silver left on the grave must have been a gift from Yan Siguan.

"Jinyu, if you have entered the Immortal Family, and you are quite handsome with this face, you can flirt with women, what will you do then?"

"Jinyu, if you want to learn martial arts, should you learn boxing or weapons?"

"Jinyu, where can I find the sect?"

The woman chattered endlessly, staring straight at the husband beside her with a pair of bright eyes.

"The first thing is, if I mess with others, you can pour 2 taels of poisonous decoction into my mouth, and the world will be peaceful. The second thing is, of course, learning to shoot. It won't help to learn from other things."

"As for the third point." Xu Jinyu loosened the collar of his short coat and looked at Mrs. Xu with a half-smile. "The world is so big that you can always find it. If you can't find it after asking for it, I'll just take you out for a walk."

I can always stay at home and work hard on daily necessities."

"Let's just say you have spoken humanly."

The sound of car bells rang as they drove far away.

Little did he know that at the corner of the house, a martial artist slowly walked out and took out Zhang Lao's talisman from his sleeve. The fragrant wine flowed from the talisman, down his throat, and reached his internal organs.

Things are done here, and by the time the business is done, the carriage will probably have gone far away.

It was the time when the lanterns were in front of the yamen gate, and there were only two yamen servants keeping watch at the yamen gate. They opened their official uniforms and took advantage of the rare summer night breeze, which was quite comfortable. The yamen servant on the left was a little bored, so he took the initiative to talk to the nagging one on the right.

Lao Jia Chang said, "Qi San, do you think that the chief clerk of our county government has been insane recently? I heard that he recently emptied many books from his house, as if he was trying to escape, and he was also mentioned in the court.

I can’t afford to be interested in handling cases and reviewing files. If the current situation continues, in a few months, I’m afraid I’ll have to change the main bookkeeper.”

The yamen servant known as Qi San curled his lips, "Don't gossip. If you tell others to listen, you will inevitably be punished. If you lose this official uniform, how will you end up working for that woman of your family?"

"Too."

Yan Siguan's luck could be said to be quite good. He heard the conversation between the two of them as soon as he stepped out of the wall. He understood immediately and walked towards the chief registrar's house.

Ma Si once mentioned inadvertently that the Registrar's Mansion was very close to the Yamen, and there was a jujube tree in front of the door where three or four people hugged each other. In autumn, the jujube tree was filled with large and plump sweet dates. Ma Si also

I once specially climbed to the top to pick dates, which attracted a dozen children to stop at the roots of the tree, eagerly waiting for the huge dates falling from the sky. The chief clerk was a scholar in his forties, and if he had time, he would come out and look at the scene with a smile.

He holds one in his left hand and the other in his right hand. The two of them are often hanging on the hem of their clothes and trousers. Neither one is sullen or angry, with a warm smile.

It's a pity that no one will pick dates anymore this autumn.

Then there will be no need for anyone to watch.

"When the moon is dark and the wind is high, thieves are stealing." Wu Sheng, who was sitting on the wall of the chief clerk's house, somehow came up with this play.

In the early morning of the next day, the chief clerk came to the Yamen for a long time. A servant went to investigate and saw the miserable death of the chief clerk with his own eyes. He was almost scared to death.
