Chapter 1: The Women's Work
In the eighth year of Changhe of Daliang, Youhai County, Yongzhou.
The north wind was blowing, and the sky looked very dull. It was about to fall as the first snow since winter began today.
The charcoal basins in the room were burning red, and occasionally the carbon suddenly broke and made a crisp crackling sound.
Chi Shi took a handkerchief and wiped the wood-carved skeleton man standing by her window, frowned. Although he had used the best charcoal, as long as there were fireworks, the house would be covered with dust.
"My son, my son, I'm going back to your house and I'll give you winter boots. Good guy, I'm scared by this thing... I'm scared by your little brother's eyes and I'm lying on the couch for half a month..."
Na Shang Niang was Chi Shi's sister, and Xu Mi was the name Chi Shi gave this wooden skeleton man.
This Chi family in Youhai County is also well-known in Daliang.
Chi Shi's great-grandfather Chi Cheng was a famous coroner and was deeply appreciated by Emperor Taizong.
This coroner deals with corpses, which is the last of all three religions and all kinds of corpses. No official is just a small vocation. The descendants are not allowed to be admitted to the imperial examinations. Who wants to do such a thing as touching the body and tearing the bones?
Chi Cheng, who was amazing, was a stunning person who broke out from the sea of swords and fires. He was named a first-class coroner and was granted the imperial examination for descendants of coroneres, which was also considered a merit.
After Chi Cheng left, the Chi family declined all the way and retreated from the capital to his hometown Youhai. In this small place, he could barely be considered a wealthy family with background.
"The Chi family is a coroner's family. Others are playing with walnuts and bodhi skewers. Our plate is a skeleton head."
Chi Shi's mother, Yao, had a thorn in her throat when she heard this. When she looked up, she felt palpitations again.
Not to mention the scary thing standing by the bed, the people next to the bed were elegantly embroidered with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemums, and the vulgar ones were also embroidered with hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren.
It’s better to have a pond, and the top of the tent is like a hundred ghosts walking at night.
When I found my son-in-law in the future, I lay on the bed and opened my eyes so much that I was so scared that I was scattered!
"My son, my mother has specially found a good piece of material. In the future, you will go to the yamen to do coroner. I... it's all my fault. If you wrap this strip of cloth, don't let anyone see the flaws."
Yao said, looking around, his voice lowered a little.
As early as when she entered the house, she had already driven down all the people who were serving Chi Shi.
Chi Shi in front of him was wearing a royal blue long gown, with phoenix eyes raised and thin lips pursed, looking particularly heroic.
Compared with the two, I don’t know when Chi Shi was half a head taller than her. Who wouldn’t praise anyone who saw him, what a handsome little man!
Chi Shi glanced at the white cloth, patted his chest, and looked at Yao in surprise.
"My mother, I don't know that when I was a starving ghost in my previous life, I stood facing north, and if you don't look at my face, you can't tell where is ahead and where is behind. Where is the south and where is the north!"
"My brothers from the second room only reach my earlobe and my cousins in the next room cry shyly when they see me... My grandmother, for sixteen years, how many people have thought that Chi Shi was not Chi Jiuro, but that girl?"
Yao was stunned. He was speechless, but he didn't know where to start?
In this way, should she praise the girl she gave birth to, who is mighty and majestic?
"Don't worry, my mother, even if others suspect that the stone lion at the gate of the city can give birth, they will not doubt my head. My cousin will leave Youhai County tomorrow. At noon this day, I will ask me to go to Xinghualou to discuss the case. I will go first."
Chi Shi said, wiped off the last bit of dust on the skeleton man's body and stood up reluctantly.
Yao looked at it, sighed in his heart, and became a little depressed.
If it weren't for... Chi Shi's good daughter's house, she should have been born in the fragrant and beautiful pile. Why is it now that she is going to the middle of the smelly death?
The wind stopped, and the gloomy sky seemed to be higher. Chi Shi raised his head and a crystal snowflake fell on the tip of her nose. She turned over and sat on the little donkey.
In such a remote area as Yongzhou, there are very few people riding horses, most of whom ride donkeys.
When the doorman saw it, he hurriedly brought an oil-paper umbrella and respectfully handed it over, "Young Master Ninth, it's snowing. Why don't you see Jiule follow me?" Jiule is a servant from Chi Shi, and she is very clever in her daily life.
Chi Shi took the oil paper umbrella, "Today it's his grandmother's birthday, I'll tell him to go. Brother Qi is out?"
"I went out early in the morning and haven't come back yet."
Chi Shi didn't ask much, afraid of slapping the donkey's butt, so he walked slowly towards Xinghualou. Her face was covered tightly by an oil-paper umbrella, making people unable to see her expression.
In fact, Chi Shi is a person who doesn’t have too many expressions.
Even in her previous life, she was shocked by someone at the crime scene, but she was still in a state of no trouble. She just thought that the murderer was killed with a knife. She was definitely not an ordinary person, but a trainee. The direction of their investigation at that time was completely wrong.
When she woke up again, the famous female forensic doctor became the newly born lady of the Chi family in Youhai County, a female coroner who was taken as a young man.
She was thinking, a noise interrupted her thoughts.
"Go quickly and go quickly. The big insect in Dongshan asked the heroes passing by to catch it. Butcher Guo was going to slaughter the beast and peel off the bones! This is a once-in-a-lifetime show. If you go too late, you will be invisible!"
"I ran away and ran away. Xinghualou has to cook this tiger. We can't drink the soup. If we smell it, it will be considered to be a healthy body."
As the people around him spoke, they all rushed towards Xinghua Tower.
Youhai County is not big, you are a sneezing and may be able to infect your neighbor next door.
Chi Shi looked at it and couldn't help but pat the donkey's butt, speeding up his pace.
On the bluestone floor in front of Xinghua Tower, a big insect was lying. Blood was flowing from the corners of its mouth, but the fur on its body was not damaged at all. It can be seen that this tiger-beating hero is a powerful horn. He does not use a knife or a sword. He only has his fists, which will kill the tiger.
Chi Shi recognized the people in this city for eight or ninety percent.
The man closest to the tiger looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a moon-white long gown, the north wind poured into his sleeves, bulging as if he was about to blow him away.
His face was as white as a piece of paper. He felt Chi Shi's gaze. He looked over and smiled slightly. It was still snowing, Chi Shi felt inexplicably that it seemed like the flowers around him were about to bloom.
She doesn't recognize this person, and it should be the "passing tiger-beating hero" mentioned by the villagers.
Although this hero looks like a tiger breathes, he can ascend to heaven.
Chi Shi thought, and then he moved his eyes and realized that there was a black-clothed guard standing next to the hero.
Just as the eyes met, Butcher Guo had already stabbed the big worm without hesitation, and the thing in his belly flowed out.
"Ahhh! Hand! Hand! Big insects eat people! Eat people! Quickly report to the official!"
Chi Shi frowned, and a piece of manpower was added to the pool of blood on the ground.
The big worm dies and it is not her control, but when the person dies, she will take care of it.
Chapter completed!
