Cross Eyes swung his sword to block Yu Xianwei's fatal blow. The handsome man's knife struck Yu County Lieutenant's head. Yu County Lieutenant bent down and leaned back, dodging the handsome man's sword. Cross Eyes and the handsome man teamed up to attack from left and right, and Yu Xianwei The county lieutenant blocked it for a few times and suddenly felt that it was a bit difficult to deal with it. At the critical moment, several government servants arrived and raised their knives to attack Crosseye and the two men. Crosseye was unable to avoid and was stabbed in the back. The handsome man was stabbed in the chest by the county lieutenant. Fall to the ground.
Tu Dianshi also arrived. When he saw the old man and the child lying in a pool of blood, he squatted down, felt their pulses, shook his head and sighed, "They are dead."
The cross-eyed man was tied up by the yamen, and the handsome man was stabbed to death by the county captain. Tu Dianshi took several yamen and found a thin boy sleeping soundly on the kang in another room. He looked like he was only two or three years old. .
Tu Dianshi said to the two government officials: "You two go and have a look nearby and find out if there is anyone else in this child's family?" The two agreed and went to inquire about the news.
Yuxian Lieutenant and two government officials removed two door panels, moved the bodies of the old woman and boy to the door panels, went into the house and brought two hard old quilts to cover the bodies.
Two government officials found a family not far from the house. After inquiring, they learned that the family only had three grandparents and grandchildren. The parents of the two children died one after another, one died in childbirth, and the other died less than half a year ago. Grandma sells some side dishes to make ends meet.
After hearing this, the two yamen servants sighed and went back to tell Tu Dianshi the news they had learned, saying, "Tu Dianshi, what should I do with this child?"
Tu Dianshi looked at Yu Xian and comforted him: "Master Yu, what do you think we should do about this matter?"
Yu Xianwei looked at the little boy on the kang and sighed: "Let's take him back to the county government first! Such a small child can only die in the cold weather. We will send someone to check tomorrow to see if this child is still alive." There are relatives.”
Tu Dianzhi felt that this was the only thing he could do. He nodded, gently wrapped the child in a quilt, held the child in his arms, looked at the child's sleeping face, and said softly: "Okay, do it carefully." The body will be taken back to the Yamen, and the grandfather and grandson will stop in the house first, and then send it to Yizhuang tomorrow."
Under the cover of darkness, Brother Xizuo arrived at the backyard of the county government office. He ran a few steps and jumped up. He grabbed the wall and climbed onto the wall. Then he jumped off and walked slowly along the corner to the hanging flower gate. Hearing the sound coming from the courtyard, The sound of a woman's voice was heard, and she slowly returned to the garden. She saw the greenhouse in the garden and hid in the greenhouse.
Mrs. Liu was holding a lantern and Mrs. Zhang was holding a bundle of firewood. They entered the back garden together. Mrs. Liu sighed to Mrs. Zhang: "I'm afraid it's going to snow again tonight. Is it because I'm old or because it's colder than usual this year?" , why do I feel a lot colder?"
"It's really cold this year. It didn't snow for the first time last year!" Mrs. Zhang put the firewood into the stove and closed the stove door. "Okay, let's go back and rest. We'll come back tomorrow morning. "The eldest brother hid behind the vegetable bed and watched the two of them close the moon cave door.
Yu County Lieutenant and Tu Dianshi brought people back to the county government office. Tu Hui saw that Yu County Lieutenant only returned with two details, one dead and one alive. He said to the county captain: "Sir, there are four people in their group, and there is one more person." He is taller and stronger than these two."
Yu Xianwei looked at Tu Dianshi and the others with a look of doubt on his face, "Four people? We found these two people when we arrived, but we didn't see anyone else." Tu Dianshi and several other government officials also shook their heads.
"Go back to the back office and have a look." After hearing this, Zhou Jia's face changed drastically, and he turned around and ran towards the back office.
The eldest brother put his ear against the moon cave door and listened for a while, but heard no movement. From the crack in the door, he saw only a faint and dim light in the courtyard. The light in the courtyard was dim and dim everywhere. The eldest brother took out a dagger and opened the door bolt of the moon cave door, and gently pushed the moon cave door open a crack. Through the crack in the door, he saw the government servants patrolling back and forth in the courtyard, and quickly dodged and moved towards the main room.
Li Yu leaned on the quilt and slowly knitted wool. Suddenly, he heard a faint sound of opening the door from outside. Li Yu supported the edge of the kang and turned over to get off the kang. He took out the hand crossbow from the space and hid behind the kang bed. I saw a tall, strong man entering the room with a dagger in his hand.
Li Yu raised his hand crossbow and aimed it at the tall man's knee. There was a soft sound and two arrows flew out. The tall man heard the sound of the crossbow and couldn't avoid it. The arrow hit the tall man's knee, "Ah. ! With a scream, the tall and strong man fell to the ground, reluctantly raised his head and saw Li Yu walking out from behind the kang bed with a crossbow in hand, "Bitch, I will kill you. " Shouting, he threw the dagger hard at Li Yu. Li Yu ducked sideways and touched the crossbow, and the arrow flew out and hit the man's palm.
Li Yu looked at the glaring man, sneered, stepped forward and stepped on the palm of the couch, and said softly: "My wife welcomes you to come and die."
Zhou Jia rushed back to the back office in a hurry, saw the door ajar, and shouted in fear: "Yu'er."
"Here you are!" Li Yu heard Zhou Jia's frightened cry, pushed open the door and walked out. Zhou Jia walked up to Li Yu and held Li Yu in his arms with excitement, "Yu'er, Scared me."
Yu County Lieutenant, Tu Dianshi and the government officials who followed looked at the two people hugging each other. Li Yu looked at the people standing behind Zhou Jia, pushed Zhou Jia away and said softly: "Mr. Tu and the others are here, the fine work is in the room Here, I have already injured you."
Zhou Jia supported Li Yu and said to the people behind him: "The remaining craftsman was injured in the room. Go and get him out with two people."
Tu Hui and a yamen servant bowed in agreement and walked into the room. They were surprised to see the crossbow arrows nailed to their knees and palms. They looked at each other and exclaimed: "Madam is so tough!"
Tu Dian took a step forward, bowed to Li Yu and said, "Madam, when we arrested Xizuo, we brought back a child. Please ask Mrs. Zhang or Yu Niang to help take care of the child for one night, and wait until we find the child's relatives tomorrow. Just take it away.”
Li Yu saw the child in Tu Dianshi's arms and guessed that his family might have been killed. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let Mrs. Zhang take him. When you find his relatives, you can come and take him back."
"Thank you, madam." Tu Dianchang bowed to express his thanks.
At this time, the yamen dragged Xizuo outside the house. Yuniang and Sister-in-law Zhang were carrying water and handkerchiefs, preparing to go in and clean up the blood stains left by Xizuo.
Li Yu pointed at the child in Tu Dianshi's arms and said to Sister-in-law Zhang, "Sister-in-law Zhang, please take care of that child. When you find his family, you will send him away."
"It's Madam." Mrs. Zhang put down the basin, walked up to Tu Dianshi, took the child, and carried her back to the house.
Tu Dianshi and Yu Xianwei took the people back to Qianya.
Zhou Jia waited for Lady Yu to clean the room and come out. Zhou Jia helped Li Yu back to the room and sat on the edge of the kang. He said to Li Yu: "Yu'er, I have to go back to the Yamen to handle official business. You need to rest first."
Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia's cautious look, and a sweet and sour feeling came to his heart. He shook Zhou Jia's hand and smiled softly: "Well! I'll rest first." Zhou Jia kissed Li Yu, He strode out of the room.
