Chapter 43 One day and one night

It was already dark when Zhao Lin saw the doctor off.

When I returned to the room, I saw my brother lying on the bed in a daze, with his father and mother taking care of him.

"How is my brother?"

Zhao Lin walked to the bed and touched his brother's forehead. He felt his hand was hot. He must have a fever.

"Your brother has a strong body and can bear it."

Father Zhao said in a low voice, then sighed, "How on earth did you get the beard?"

Zhao's mother also said: "Lin'er, please make it clear. My parents are helping me with my advice. If we really can't do it, we will sell our land and I will pay them compensation."

"This matter cannot be settled with money..."

Zhao Lin smiled bitterly and recounted the story of how he went hunting in the mountains at the beginning of the year, was robbed, and finally killed Hu Hu.

Father Zhao and Mother Zhao were stunned after hearing this. They did not expect that their youngest son, who had always been honest and honest and had never even killed a chicken, would do such a big thing.

"Father and mother, they all blame me for causing trouble and causing our whole family to be hunted down by Beard." Zhao Lin said with shame.

Father Zhao was silent for a while and said: "The matter has come to this, and there is no use regretting it. Besides, you did it just to raise money to fish your brother out. What are your plans for the future?"

Zhao Lin glanced at his unconscious brother and said: "It's safe here for the time being. There is the Yamen across the street. Huzi doesn't dare to make any big moves. But as time goes by, there is no guarantee that they won't come to our door."

Having said this, he took a deep breath and said, "I will find a way to send you away as soon as possible."

"us?"

Father Zhao was stunned and asked, "Aren't you going to leave?"

Zhao Lin shook his head gently, "I can't leave! Huzi's purpose is to arrest the four of us for revenge. As long as I am in Qinghe County, their focus will always be on me."

"But if I run away, Beard will definitely be looking for me everywhere. It will be difficult for our family of four to avoid their spies. Once we are blocked by them on the road, we will only be at the mercy of others."

"So I have to stay!"

Zhao's father and Zhao's mother opposed it at the same time.

"No, we have to go together!"

"Son, how can you deal with the beard alone?"

Zhao Lin's expression was calm, but his tone was extremely firm, "I have thought about it clearly. Only in this way can our family have a chance of survival."

In order to make his parents accept his decision, he simply made it clear: "I practice martial arts at Liuhemen, and the beard can't do anything to me, but what should I do if you fall into their hands?"

The two elders were suddenly speechless.

Zhao Lin walked out of the room, asked the waiter to bring some food in, then used a table to push the door shut, moved a chair, and sat at the door holding an iron ax.

How to survive the current crisis?

How did you find the beard?

All kinds of thoughts were flying in his mind. Zhao Lin felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. He held on until the middle of the night and finally couldn't help but close his eyes...

Early the next morning, Zhao Lin suddenly opened his eyes and saw his parents leaning on the bedside, and his brother was already awake.

"Brother, are you feeling better?" Zhao Lin tiptoed over and stretched out his hand to see that his brother's fever had gone away.

"Well, I'm thirsty." Zhao Shan said hoarsely.

Zhao Lin quickly poured a bowl of water and served his brother to drink.

After a while, the inn gradually became lively and noisy. Father Zhao and Mother Zhao also woke up.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going out for a moment, you guys wait for me in the house."

Zhao Lin gave them last night's food, "If you are hungry, eat something and don't go out."

Zhao's father and Zhao's mother knew that Zhao Lin was going out for business and told him to pay attention to his safety.

The inn was very close to the county government office, just across the street. Zhao Lin came to the county government office and stood next to the stone lion beside the door.

He had put himself in his shoes and thought that if he escaped into the county yesterday, Huzi would definitely send people to block the surrounding roads to prevent him from escaping.

Then they sent people into the city to find him.

In such a large county, it is not easy to find someone, so I and my family are safe for the time being.

He stood in front of the county government office for nearly half an hour, but Liang Song was nowhere to be seen, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

"Why aren't you here yet?"

He and Liang Song had made an appointment to meet here. If the other party didn't come, it probably meant something had happened.

Zhao Lin wandered around anxiously. On the one hand, he was worried about his parents' safety at the inn, but at the same time, he was worried that Liang Song and Zhou Paotou would not be able to find him when they arrived.

When the situation is critical, one more person means more strength. Only by working together can we tide over the difficulties.

He also considered taking his family to Liuhemen to avoid trouble, but quickly gave up the idea.

I am just an apprentice, not a formal disciple.

Beard is cruel and cunning, no matter how powerful a warrior is, he still has a family.

If you throw yourself directly into it, you may bring disaster to others.

After much hesitation, Zhao Lin decided to continue waiting.

Finally, at three o'clock in the morning, Liang Song's figure appeared on the street, trotting over.

Zhao Lin noticed that his eyes were red and swollen, and couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. He asked, "Why are you alone? Where is Zhou Paotou?"

"My cousin is dead, and so is Zhou Paotou!"

Liang Song stared with red eyes and choked up: "Beard cut out the hearts of my cousin and Zhou Paotou, disemboweled them and hung them on the tree at the head of the village."

"What?"

If Zhao Lin was struck by lightning, the voices and smiles of the two people flashed through his mind, and he clenched his fists involuntarily, "Beard!"

"Beard and I are inseparable!"

Liang Song gritted his teeth and then asked Zhao Lin with some doubts: "I've never been able to figure it out. How did you think Beard suddenly found us?"

"Speak somewhere else."

Zhao Lin took Liang Song to a secluded street corner, looked around carefully, and saw no suspicious people nearby, then said: "I thought about it all night last night and figured out what the problem was. I still remember the arsenic and aconitum we bought before hunting.

?"

"It's poison!"

Liang Song was convinced at the first glance, and he said "Oh" regretfully, stamping his feet and beating his chest.

Arsenic and Aconitum were sold in limited quantities in medicine halls. At that time, Zhou Paotou arranged for Zhu Dachun to buy these two items and went to several towns to buy them.

There were signs of poisoning in the wounds on Xiong Zhi and Hu Zi, and Hu Xi could definitely tell it. When they were looking for Xiong Zhi gall in major medicine halls, they would definitely be able to find records of people buying poison in large quantities in winter.

Most of the wild animals hunted by hunters are used for meat, so few people use poison when hunting.

It was along this breakthrough point that Hu Hu was the first to find Zhu Dachun, and the matter had a reasonable explanation.

Zhao Lin didn't have much say in the team at the time, and Zhou Paotou only listened once when he made arrangements. Now that I think about it, he ignored this important information afterwards.

Liang Song was silent for a while and said: "Huzi will definitely not let us go. What are you going to do? Should you leave or stay?"

"I'll stay and send my family away."

Zhao Lin briefly stated the reason and asked him: "What about you, are you leaving?"

Liang Song looked ferocious and shook his head slowly, "I have already escaped once, and I don't want to escape again this time."

Zhao Lin nodded and said, "Okay, let's fight them."

He made up his mind that since he couldn't hide, he could only confront it head-on. After all, he was a time traveler with a golden finger.
