The hot summer weather is so stuffy that people can't breathe. Many people choose to go shirtless and enjoy the coolness under the trees. Only Xu Ruifeng is different from other people. He is wearing a long gown and gold-rimmed glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose. Looking from a distance,
It was like a teacher from some school entering a 'Rejuvenation Hall'.
He came to see a doctor.
"I can not sleep."
Entering the pharmacy, Xu Ruifeng sat directly in front of the consultation table and said this to a withered old Chinese doctor who was nearly sixty years old.
The old man winked at the boy in the store.
The sixteen-year-old boy was very clever. He bypassed the counter and stood guard at the door, where he intercepted people who wanted to see a doctor or buy medicine, creating an excellent chatting environment for the two of them.
"No money?"
The old man reached into his sleeve and placed a gold bar directly in front of Xu Ruifeng: "Business has been good recently. One order will be enough for you for half a month."
Xu Ruifeng didn't even look at him and turned his head away: "I'm here to see a doctor."
"Then you're in the wrong place. Isn't the Western Hospital run by the little devil right at the corner of the street? I heard that the doctors there can cut open a person's stomach and sew it back together, and the person will still be alive and kicking."
Tsk!
Xu Ruifeng smacked his lips, as if he didn't like the doctor's joking tone.
"You have nothing to say."
The old Chinese medicine doctor smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your illness is a heart disease, and I can't cure it."
Xu Ruifeng is sick, just like the world.
The old Chinese medicine doctor saw Xu Ruifeng's expression and suddenly asked: "Old Xu, didn't you really believe what that kid said?"
Xu Ruifeng was speechless.
The old Chinese medicine doctor continued: "You have been killing people for so many years, why can't you understand this? There is nothing that a person can't say before he dies!"
"When the Japanese invaders occupied the Northeast, how many people did Liu Dapiao of the police station sell?
He said that his biological father is a remnant of the Feng clan."
"Don't you still understand this?"
Xu Ruifeng refuted: "They both said different things."
"It's not all words!"
Xu Ruifeng waved his hand and replied angrily: "You don't understand what I'm talking about at all."
"That's what you said."
Xu Ruifeng took a deep breath: "He told me, 'It doesn't matter if he dies...'"
The old Chinese medicine doctor was too lazy to listen and added: "Another one pretending to be big."
After Xu Ruifeng glared at him, the old Chinese medicine doctor shut up and then continued: "They asked me if I was Chinese and if I wanted to see a Qingming world."
"In that world, we don't have to be afraid of the little devils looking at us when we walk on the road."
"When a military vehicle passes by, I won't feel uneasy at all."
"We will know clearly that no one will fire guns at night, shouting 'Search for the remnants of the Feng Clan', and there will be no people in the streets arresting the Communist Party, the Kuomintang Party, and we can all live peacefully...
"
The old Chinese medicine doctor couldn't listen anymore and interrupted directly: "How can there be such a world?"
"Ever since I was born, all I have heard about is the 'Taiping Heavenly Kingdom' and the 'Eight-Nation Allied Forces'. From then on, what I saw was 'warlords in power' and 'the Zhifeng War'. Lao Xu, we are people who live in troubled times. Don't
Can you think of something good?"
"Isn't it good to kill someone for money and then spend the day drinking and drinking?"
"Besides, you have just married a wife. Wouldn't it be nice for your wife and children to have a hot bed?"
Xu Ruifeng asked: "Is there really no such world?"
The old Chinese doctor responded: "Then open the map and take a look. Shanghai alone is divided into British Concession, French Concession, Japanese Concession and Public Concession. Look at our Northeast. Russians, Germans, and Japanese are everywhere. Where can we find them?
Where do you want to go to the world?"
"But I want to live in such a world, even if it's just a day like that, even if I don't do anything, just bask in the sun."
The medicine shop was quiet. Xu Ruifeng lowered his head and thought. The old Chinese medicine doctor didn't talk anymore. The two of them maintained the calm. It was as if Xu Ruifeng's words had frozen the entire room.
"After meeting him, I couldn't sleep."
When Xu Ruifeng spoke again, his condition was much worse: "Every night I dream about the people I killed turning into ghosts and demanding their lives."
"Are you scared?" the old Chinese doctor asked.
Xu Ruifeng shook his head: "Long-term insomnia has made my senses weaken. Once, a cat in the yard walked at my feet, and I didn't even notice."
The old Chinese medicine doctor finally realized the seriousness of the problem: "This is indeed a problem. The sensory system of the dignified No. 1 killer in Beiman has declined, which will be very dangerous when accepting transactions."
"You just can't sleep, please wait for me."
The old Chinese medicine doctor turned around and entered the inner room. When he came out again, he was carrying a pack of medicine: "Take it back and eat it. I'm sure you'll sleep until dawn."
Xu Ruifeng took the medicine package in confusion and smelled it with his nose. The moment he raised his head, his eyes widened: "This is a sweat medicine!"
"You don't care what it is, it's not harmful to your body if you eat it, and you can still fall asleep?"
The old Chinese medicine doctor continued to advise: "Also, don't think about it when you have nothing to do. Why are you always thinking about what those radicals say? Do you know why our business is still booming when the world is so chaotic recently?"
"It's all orders placed by little devils. Of those who are about to meet the King of Hell, who doesn't shout 'ideal'?"
"People in the world are going crazy. The heads of these things are more expensive than those of wealthy businessmen. There is no nursing home at home."
"Let me tell you..."
Xu Ruifeng stood up directly and said, "I won't take it." He picked up the medicine and left.
When his body is not at its peak, Xu Ruifeng doesn't want to take on any business and would rather go home and lie down.
The old Chinese medicine doctor looked at Xu Ruifeng's back and yelled the last sentence: "When you give the medicine, don't forget to prepare your wife's share as well. This woman is also a capable woman. When the time comes, she will be tricked...
"
Xu Ruifeng walked home as if he hadn't heard anything, but the last words of the old Chinese medicine doctor reminded him of that woman.
He got married and spent fifty yuan to buy a well-known girl from Lianhua Township.
A real big girl.
On the first night of the wedding, I almost scratched Xu Ruifeng's back, and he became red on the first night.
That night, Lao Xu slept soundly.
But within a few months of such good days, he discovered something was wrong.
One day, his wife went out to buy groceries. When she came back, she was acting strangely. In the middle of the night, she thought she had fallen asleep and got up to hide something. From then on, Lao Xu's insomnia started again.
Xu Ruifeng checked it the next day. He took out a loaded Colt M1873 from the gap between the bedside table and the wall, and it was still on fire.
This thing is hard to find anywhere in Beimanjianghu!
Xu Ruifeng had doubts about her identity at that time. There was no way this woman had been farming at home since she was a child, as the matchmaker said. A girl from a farmyard could never get this American gun.
From the moment he became suspicious, Xu Ruifeng searched through the house.
First, I found a stick handle, which was a Schofield revolver, in the kitchen. Then, I found a Mauser C96 in the tilted iron door panel of the door.
Who is she?
Who would risk their innocence to stay by their side?
Xu Ruifeng looked at the three guns, shook his head, and put them back to their original places, because none of the positions of the three guns were related to him.
The one placed on the bedside should be to deal with emergencies that occur while sleeping; the one placed at the door is for fear of a desperate counterattack after being caught; the one placed in the kitchen is because it is a place where I will never set foot.
If these three guns were hidden for herself, she would have fired them long ago. In the past few months, she has had countless opportunities to kill herself!
dowry!
Xu Ruifeng thought of this woman's dowry, which was something he had never touched since marrying her. Thinking of this, Xu Ruifeng immediately turned around and went upstairs to open the suitcase that his relatives had brought in when he married Wen Wan.
The suitcase is locked with a combination, but it will never stop the number one killer in North Manchuria.
After Xu Ruifeng opened the suitcase without leaving any trace, he found a medicine bottle inside. When he poured the only medicine in the bottle into the palm of his hand, its name immediately appeared in his mind - cyanide/potassium.
Xu Ruifeng does not understand medicine or what technology is, but as a killer, he has killed people with this thing!
who the hell are you?
How come the guy who kills people is more sophisticated than our old Xu?
When the old Chinese medicine doctor at the drug store got this thing, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. He was so careful that he wrapped the medicine bottle with four layers of oilcloth and warned him, "This is poison, don't touch it."
Just place it randomly like this?
"Old Xu..."
"Old Xu!"
Xu Ruifeng quickly agreed from the attic: "Oh, it's upstairs."
Immediately afterwards, he fastened the suitcase with quick eyes and hands, restored it to its original position without leaving any traces, picked up the broom and started to clean the attic.
The woman came up the stairs. Listening to the urgent footsteps, Xu Ruifeng could easily tell that she was worried.
"Why did you sweep the attic so well?"
Xu Ruifeng responded: "Isn't this just now? I was lying downstairs on the bed trying to relax for a while, and dirt started to fall along the roof of the shed. I thought the attic might be dirty, so I came up to clean it."
She never looked at Xu Ruifeng until she saw her suitcase standing in the same place with no trace of being touched before she responded with a smile: "That's because the shed is dirty. What does it have to do with the attic."
"Why are you still up here?" Xu Ruifeng took her arm and headed downstairs: "Go downstairs and wait, I'll be done here soon."
"What are you doing?"
She turned around, opened the dowry suitcase in front of Xu Ruifeng, took out the medicine bottle, and said to Xu Ruifeng, "I'll get the medicine."
Xu Ruifeng saw the woman holding cyanide/potassium in her hand, and his eyes suddenly focused: "What kind of medicine is this?"
"Ask, ask, ask, everything. Do you take women's medicine?"
Xu Ruifeng immediately shook his head.
"That's incredible."
She behaved so gracefully and generously that even Xu Ruifeng felt horrified. If there was anything wrong...
She went downstairs, deliberately looked upstairs and poured a glass of water, and took a big sip, making a sound like she was being scalded after drinking boiling water.
The water was cold and boiled, and Xu Ruifeng boiled it when he got up in the morning.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of footsteps came again. At this time, Xu Ruifeng looked towards his home along the gap in the stairs. He saw this woman opening the cabinet where medicines were kept at home. She took out a medicine bottle and took this pill that could kill people instantly.
The poison of life was put in.
Because Xu Ruifeng refused to take any of the Western medicine at home and he did not believe in Western medicine.
"Lao Xu, go downstairs and I'll tell you something."
Xu Ruifeng walked down and lay on the handrail of the stairs, looking at this woman who had almost broken her waist several times: "What's wrong?"
"I didn't come again this month."
"Hey, there aren't many things about women that are accurate."
"Bah, you have quite a lot of experience." Wen Wan spat at Xu Ruifeng from a long distance away, and said while washing her hands: "I have pushed it back seven days, and besides, I didn't come last month."
This frightened Lao Xu: "Yes?" He almost said: "How dare you touch cyanide/potassium when you are pregnant!"
Wen Wan looked at her man in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Not only are you unhappy that I'm pregnant, why are you so scared?"
"Hurry up and go to the Huichun Hall now. Hurry up. It's up to you to pass on the four generations of the old Xu family!"
Xu Ruifeng pulled Wen Wan and walked out of the house. He was worried about whether to ask the truth just now and couldn't care about anything at the moment.
