Two hundred and fortieth eight chapters off the Yang
Yan Gao, who had been standing on the cart as a watchtower, saw the military commander leaving, and then he jumped up and beat Xu Luo's chest excitedly, and then started yelling.
"Old Man Pang, Old Man Pang, you idiot, get out of here quickly..."
In fact, there was no need for him to shout at all. As soon as the soldiers retreated, the old man Pang, who had been trapped in the house, walked out in disgrace.
He glared angrily, then walked up to Xu Luo.
"Xiao Luo, this time it's Old Man Pang who owes you a favor!"
"Haha, that meal of wine is not enough!"
Xu Luo laughed jokingly, and the old man Pang was stunned for a moment and then he started laughing too. The look of gratitude in his eyes became even stronger. This little brother is awesome!
"Tell me, since we have taken over the matter, we must get to the bottom of it, otherwise we will lose the face of the Exorcism Department. What weird thing happened?"
Xu Luoke didn't want to see old man Pang acting so coquettishly, so he changed the topic directly.
Old man Pang took the skin bag handed over by Yan Gao, drank a few sips of wine, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and spoke slowly.
Since the strange shadows on rainy nights appeared inexplicably on Shiquan Street, some idle people suddenly discovered that the old men who usually get out of breath after walking a few steps and like to sit in the streets and alleys to bask in the sun have not been seen for several days in a row.
silhouette.
The local people thought that these people were old and died quietly in the house, so they quickly brought people to the house to check one by one.
But this inspection almost made people laugh to death.
Each of these old men is either missing arms or legs, or is dying in old age, with half of their feet in the coffin, but at the same time they have a disease, or it cannot be said to be a disease, which is depletion of yang energy!
If this symptom were applied to the groom, everyone would definitely laugh it off, but if it were applied to these old men, wow, the picture in their mind is really beautiful!
Why, all men in this world have the same virtue, they will all be young until they die!
Li Zheng hurriedly invited doctors to take care of him carefully. First of all, these people had made great contributions to Dayan and had shed blood. They were indeed worthy of admiration.
Secondly, despite the fact that all of these people were in poverty and had no children or grandchildren around them, they were not someone he could offend in his humble life. Who knew which big shot the old man had blocked a gun for or received a knife for?
Although Li Zheng had never heard of the saying "the four irons of life", he understood the truth.
Not only did he receive medical treatment, but he also spent his own money to buy some high-quality medicinal materials and delivered them to his door. As for the whole story, he took care of the face of these veterans and kept it secret.
Unexpectedly, the same thing happened again half a month later.
At this moment, my claws were completely numb, and I realized something was wrong only after I reacted.
How can such a coincidence happen? Even if these veterans are not short of silver baht, they will take out the coffin book and sing a song of "Once Upon a Time", but there still needs to be a secret prostitution brothel willing to accept it!
In this line of work, who doesn’t have clear facial features?
Earning silver baht or not, not having fun is another matter, if this one is not handled well, if any one of these is lying in the building unable to move, then the Imperial Guard will have to skin them!
Fortunately, Old Man Pang's old buddies from back then happened to account for most of the old soldiers lying down.
Old man Pang noticed something strange the second time he came here. The old man, who was usually lively and energetic, couldn't even get out of bed. Damn it, did he meet a vixen?
But before Old Man Pang could find out what was going on, Li Zheng had already reported it directly to the Imperial Military Department.
Originally, if someone from the Imperial Guards Department came over to say something like this, "I will take care of this matter," Old Pang would probably just walk away in despair.
But no one expected that this time it would be Yu Tietou himself who blocked old man Pang in the room and told the exorcist department to pick him up.
This is obviously an attempt to bring shame on the Exorcist Department!
Yan Gao and Xu Luo looked at each other, lowered their eyes in unison, and never mentioned the matter again.
"Let's go! We're here, let's go to the old people's homes where the accident happened first."
Yan Gao asked Old Man Pang to lead the way, and the three of them once again got into the house that Old Man Pang had just walked out of.
The room looked very messy, with things rummaged around in a mess. Seeing the confused looks in Xu Luo's eyes, old man Pang spread his hands.
"I didn't do this. Those bastards from the Royal Military Department are like wild bulls entering the pen. Do I dare to stop them?"
Xu Luomu turned around, turned over the table that had just been pushed over, and looked around. This veteran soldier was obviously living a good life, and many of the utensils in the room did not look shabby.
The three of them were not surprised by this, because the Great Yan Dynasty was strictly benevolent to these veteran soldiers who retired due to injuries.
When you retire from the army, you will receive a large honorary pay, there will be specialized medical clinics for diagnosis and treatment of disabilities and illnesses, and there will also be specialized officials to visit you during the holidays. A large part of the achievements of the Department of Industry and Commerce are achieved through these people.
The reason why these old people look dirty and down-and-out is mostly because of a lack of family ties.
Xu Luo's eyes glowed slightly red as he looked at the furnishings in the room one by one.
But even in front of Tongyoufa, he still couldn't find any clues. Finally, he turned his attention to the only bed in the room.
Before Xu Luo got closer, he smelled a familiar yet unfamiliar faint fishy smell. He frowned and carefully looked at the skinny old man who was still sleeping on the bed.
After so many days, the old man's complexion has already turned blue and white, and there is even a faint hint of black between his eyebrows. It seems that if the cause of the accident is no longer found, these people may not live long.
But at this time, Xu Luo finally understood why those brats from the Royal Military Department left so happily just now?
I'm afraid that they had already searched all the suspicious places, but couldn't find any abnormalities, so they threw the hot mountain to Xu Luo and the others.
It would be fine if nothing happens to these old soldiers, but if something does happen, you know with your backside, the Imperial Guards Department will definitely take the opportunity to launch an attack.
Xu Luo felt heartbroken. He felt that since he walked out of Sanhe Fort, he had not seen many good people, and all of them were like foxes.
Look at this Yu Chi. When we first met, he was still ashamed because someone found out he was writing a love letter to his girl. How long did it take for him to become so scheming?
As his level of cultivation increased, Xu Luo even felt that if he hadn't been born in vain, he would have never been able to compare with these outstanding people.
Xu Luo gathered his thoughts and looked around again.
The room had obviously not been cleaned for several days, and the utensils were all covered with a thin layer of dust. An old umbrella was leaning against the wall beside the bed, with some damage on the surface and tied together with white cloth straps.
Suddenly a breeze blew up in the room, and it flowed around Yan Gao on the side as if it was spiritual.
Xu Luo took a closer look and saw a small top spinning slightly on his shoulder.
Although the top is small, it is like a small vortex growing around it, with various auras gathering around it.
Top? Companion creature!
Looking at the companion creature that closely matched Yan Gao's figure, Xu Luo was speechless for a moment.
Yan Gao waved a whip in the shape of a whisk in his hand, laughing heartily.
"Laugh whenever you want, brother, I have become accustomed to it over the years!"
When he said this, his eyes looking at the top became extremely soft.
“Since childhood, this little thing has been my most loyal partner. He will never complain or ridicule, bully or insult me, and he will never abandon me!
It’s pretty good, really!”
Xu Luo felt sad for a while. These few words contained so much bitterness and tears, and he was filled with emotion when he heard them.
People like Yan Gao who are physically disabled but not mentally disabled are truly worthy of respect. Ask yourself what would Xu Luo have been like without the help of Wu Shengzhu, and how could he have achieved what he has today?
Haha, I'm afraid it's not even worthy of Yan Gao's shoes.
At this moment, the whip in Yan Gao's hand suddenly hit the top lightly, and a phantom of the top floated out of the vortex and suddenly exploded in the air, and the gathered auras also dissipated.
He shook his head towards Xu and Luo, who were looking forward to it.
"The nine-turn gyroscope didn't find any abnormalities. Anyway, there is nothing I can do."
"Let's go! Go to the next place and have a look."
The three of them walked out of the house. At this time, there were only a few people walking on the street. Apparently, the scene where the Royal Guards broke in through the door just now left everyone a little shocked.
There were layers of clouds in the sky, as if they were about to fall. Xu Luo suddenly stopped in his steps and looked thoughtful.
"Actually, I feel that there is no need to go to the remaining families. If nothing else happens, Yu Chi and his gang would have already searched them.
There are so many people in the Royal Military Department who can't find any abnormalities, how can we find it?"
Now, Old Man Pang was completely anxious.
"Are we just going to let it go?"
"of course not!"
Xu Luo pointed to the sky: "If nothing else goes wrong, it should rain soon. We might as well wait a little longer. Isn't it true that those people can see suspicious figures appearing in rainy and foggy days?"
Old Man Pang and the other two came to their senses at this time and felt that what Xu Luo said was very reasonable. The three of them simply returned to the Exorcism Department and waited.
As midnight approached, it really started to rain lightly outside.
Xu Luo, who had never left the Exorcism Department, and Huang Chenwei all cheered up at the same time, nodded in unison and rushed into the rain.
According to the plan, Xu Luo guarded the street alone, while Huang Chenwei and his group lurked at the end of the alley.
Yan Gao's nine-turn gyroscope is not inferior to Xu Luo's Netherworld Technique in terms of searching for traces and detecting breath.
Xu Luo was wearing a raincoat and parked the green ox cart in an inconspicuous corner. The gray cart deliberately suppressed the light, as if it had completely blended into the night.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the water droplets formed a water line along the coir raincoat and rushed to the earth without hesitation.
Xu Luo leaned against the carriage with his eyes half closed to cover up the strange light in his eyes.
Fortunately, after recuperating for more than a month, the internal injuries in his body have improved to some extent. As long as he is not fighting desperately, it is not a serious problem.
But Jinu was still a little worried, so he forced Xu Luo to agree that he could only use the hatchet, instead of just rolling up his sleeves and doing it like before.
All the scenery looked a little blurry in the rain. Most of the residents on Shiquan Street went to bed late. At this time, there were still flickering lights, making the surrounding houses look like isolated islands.
"Bang, bang!"
As soon as midnight arrives, the watchman emerges from nowhere like a ghost, reminding pedestrians returning home late on the street.
