"Tell me, Wen'er, what's wrong? What does it mean to be gone? What does it mean to be dead?" Pi San stared blankly at the woman in front of him.
But the woman couldn't say a word, she just knelt down and cried, and after a while she cursed heaven and earth.
Pi San stayed there for a long time, and the lost soul came back little by little. He suddenly looked stern, grabbed the woman's shoulders and shook her desperately, "What exactly happened, tell me."
The woman cried so hard that she couldn't breathe, and continued intermittently, "After you left, Wen'er fell ill. I went to beg Scar, I went to beg the guard, I asked one after another, I asked everyone, but they all didn't
Don’t save Wen’er.
I watched Wen'er die in my arms. I hate it. This world is not for human beings. Why don't they die? Why don't these people die? What did I, Wen'er, do wrong? He is still a child. What did he do wrong?"
As he talked, he began to resent and curse again.
Pi San felt a chill all over his body. He looked at the towering city wall behind him and the cold river water in front of him. His ears were full of laughter.
These refugees were struggling on the verge of death a moment ago, but now they can sing and laugh. Why, why can they be so happy? Why should they be happy? His son is so well-behaved, why should he suffer such sins?
Pi San was silent for a long time, then stood up again, his eyes as cold as ice caves.
He abandoned his wife and walked towards the city gate step by step. When he came to the city gate and looked at the closed city gate, he seemed to see the bustling city. There were people coming and going around him. He saw
When the steaming buns just came out of the oven, he thought that Wen'er wanted to eat the buns but could only swallow his saliva.
Pi San looked indifferently at Chengyang County, which was blocked by the city gate, stopped for a long time, and then walked firmly and ruthlessly in one direction step by step.
Everyone here deserves to die and should be buried with his Wen'er.

But it was said that Sun Zhixin and Zhang Cheng, brothers in distress, reported their unsatisfactory errands overnight, and then went to Gushu Hutong early the next morning, hoping to get some advice from the miracle doctor.
Originally, this was not a respectable event, so they both arrived early, hoping to leave early and return early. However, they did not expect that the waiting queue would already be waiting at the entrance of the alley at just five o'clock in the morning.
This situation is indeed a bit unexpected, but they have come here, and the tracking has encountered a bottleneck now. The two of them had no choice but to bite the bullet and pretend to be casually photographed in the queue. It was impossible to jump in line, and they could not afford to lose that
Face.
However, even though both of them were wearing casual clothes, Zhang Cheng, whose parents were officials, was quickly recognized by the people lining up in front and behind.
Now the crowd became noisy and gave way to the two adults. At the same time, there were even more enthusiastic and talkative people chatting with them, speaking straight to the soul.
"You two adults are also here to tell fortunes?"
Sun Zhixin chuckled and secretly pointed at Zhang Cheng behind Zhang Cheng's back, as if to say that he was accompanying Mr. Zhang.
Zhang Cheng didn't know yet, so he responded with a smile: "I've heard about the name of the miracle doctor a long time ago, so I came here to visit today."
Someone once again joked about the miracle doctor: "This miracle doctor is so awesome that even our parents and officials have to line up."
"How can this be possible? You two adults have a lot of things to do every day. You can't compare with us little people. You two adults, hurry up and move forward."
Zhang and Sun wanted to refuse, but when the people in line in front heard this, they all gave in. After all, the official is here, who dares not to give in, even if they don't want to in their hearts, they still have to do it in face.
Come with all due respect.
The two of them had no idea, and they both felt that it was really unseemly to queue up with a group of common people to wait for fortune telling, so they reluctantly stepped into the first place, and then... waited in the silence and cold wind.
The two of them stood with their legs numb, and there was no sign of the courtyard door being opened. After exchanging a few glances, Zhang Cheng finally gave in. He turned around and was about to ask, but saw that there was a space for two people vacant behind him, and the common people behind him
, and unconsciously drew a clear line with them.
Zhang Cheng's face felt hot, he coughed, and asked in a low voice: "When will the miracle doctor's house open?"
The common man behind him was also questioned. He was stunned for a moment, and then said in a panic: "If you tell me, sir, I will open the door in the morning."
Chen...Shi...Zhang Cheng was a little speechless, paused, and then asked again: "Then why are you here so early?"
"Sir, if you come late, you won't be able to get to the front of the queue, and you won't be able to see it."
..."Oh." Zhang Cheng nodded, and then whispered in Sun Zhixin's ear, "I have to go at Chenshi, there are still two hours."
"I heard it." Sun Zhixin scratched the ground with his toes and moved forward bit by bit, "Don't panic, everyone is the same in front of the miracle doctor."
...
After waiting for two hours that lasted like a year, the courtyard door in front of them finally opened with everyone's eager anticipation.
When Wen Yayuan opened the door, she was a little surprised to see a familiar face: "Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Cheng smiled slightly, pointed at Sun Zhixin and said: "This is Mr. Sun, the thief Cao Yushi."
Wen Ya smiled slightly, "You two adults have been waiting for a long time, inside..." Please. Before he finished speaking, the two adults rushed in from Wen Ya's side. They didn't spit out a mouthful until the courtyard door was closed.
The turbid breath that I had been holding in for a long time came.
It was the first time for both of them to come to the miracle doctor's house. When they saw the dilapidated house and courtyard in front of them, they were both surprised. They never expected that the residence of the famous miracle doctor would be so...simple.
Zhufeng came out and was a little surprised by the arrival of Zhang and Sun, but he still smiled and bowed his hands and invited them into the main room.
Qingyu took the teapot and poured a glass of water for the two of them, then sat down to play on the edge again.
"I wonder what the reason is for the two adults coming here?"
Zhang Cheng and Sun Zhixin looked at each other, not knowing how to speak for a while. Although they had unanimously decided to consult the miracle doctor last night, they used their salary to run an errand and the errand was not completed. Instead, they came to see the miracle doctor for a fortune. After all, they were a little embarrassed.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Cheng finally spoke. After all, he had met the miracle doctor several times and was considered familiar with him, "That's it... the miracle doctor should still remember Yang Jin and Fan Yi.
On that day, they were expelled from Chengyang County, and I sent five elite soldiers to escort them. Unexpectedly, these two men were poisonous and killed the escorting soldiers, and then disappeared.
These two people are now punished for their crimes. The county governor ordered me to search and arrest the whole county. However, Chengyang County is so big and has countless villages and counties. It is time-consuming and trouble-free. Let these two murderers run around, which may harm innocent people. Therefore.
I came here to ask the miracle doctor to give me some advice."
Zhufeng was a little surprised, but he didn't expect the two people to escape.
Sun Zhixin took advantage of Zhang Cheng's words and said, "I have the same question as Mr. Zhang.
Last night, we were lucky enough to get two clever tips from a miracle doctor to save Chengyang County from a catastrophic disaster, but the culprit has not yet been caught.
This man is cruel and ruthless, and he is protected by swordsmen. If he is not arrested as soon as possible, it may cause more tragedies."
They are all here to look for someone. Zhufeng nodded slightly, looked at Qingyu with a smile and said: "Lao San, come here."
Qingyu came over reluctantly and looked at the three of them, "What are you doing?"
Zhufeng suppressed his laughter, "Dad, I'm going to test you today. Can you figure out where the person these two adults are looking for is?"
Qingyu snorted softly and raised her little head, "What's so difficult about this? But it can't be in vain, you have to give money."
Zhufeng nodded inwardly, pretending to be angry, "You are so ridiculous, how can you ask for money from these two adults?"
"Isn't it more important for distinguished guests to take silver?" Qingyu clasped her little hands, "Since we are familiar with each other, it's cheaper, I'll count five taels for each of you."
Zhang Cheng and Sun Zhixin couldn't help but laugh. Zhang Cheng said: "If you can really tell it accurately, I will recognize it for five taels of silver."
He knew that those who came here to read fortune-telling only needed twenty copper coins, but as long as he could really catch someone, he would be willing to give it to him.
Sun Zhixin took out a piece of silver directly from his pocket, exactly five taels.
Zhang Cheng felt around all over, feeling a little embarrassed, and asked Sun Zhixin in a low voice if he had any extra. The latter's eyes moved and he took out another ingot of silver.
However, the two of them didn't really expect the little girl in front of them to calculate anything. They got the money for the miracle doctor. As for the little girl in front of them, they just thought it was a joke.
Unexpectedly, the little girl held two ingots of silver in her hands, one on the left and the other on the right. "Okay, I received the money, just wait." Then she walked out and came back into the room after a while, holding two pieces of paper in her hand and handed them to
Zhang and Sun.
Zhang Cheng and Sun Zhixin looked at each other for a while, and saw the direction on the paper crookedly, both of them were confused.
"Miracle doctor, this..."
Sun Zhixin unfolded the paper that looked like a ghostly drawing in his hand and showed it to Zhufeng. The implication was that this was not an answer worth fifty taels.
Zhufeng nodded, "You two adults only need to follow what my little girl said, and you will be able to catch the person you want to catch."
Zhang and Sun were very surprised. Seeing that Zhufeng didn't say anything more, they could only leave with their own answers.
Zhufeng waited for them to leave before bursting into laughter: "Junior Sister, Headmaster, how did they offend you again?"
Qingyu made a note in the book: On the fifth day of the winter lunar month, ten taels were credited to the account and ninety-eight taels were deposited.
"It is their duty as an official to catch thieves, but instead they come to ask me where I am going to catch people. I should let them think about it carefully." If it were not for the sake of money, she would not be so good-tempered.
