Li Yu fell into deep thought. Although this memory was not much, he inferred a lot of things from it.
This big man was full of evil spirit and was holding a steel knife. He was obviously not an ordinary commoner. Moreover, the red ribbon on his wrist reminded Li Yu of a name that could make a child stop crying - the red scarf thief.
This is a group of horse bandits who commit crimes by burning, killing, and looting. Because of their bloodthirsty cruelty, they are notorious throughout Dongyang County and even Fengzhou. This is because they often have a blood-stained ribbon wrapped around their wrists.
name.
Combined with this bloody ribbon and his evil aura, this big man is obviously a red scarf thief!
And judging from his aura, it seems that he is not just an ordinary minion, but at least a leader or a minor leader.
"Since this memory is a reward for me, it means there should be some benefits hidden in this memory."
Li Yu's eyes flickered, and he had a vague guess:
"Could it be that this person is already dead?"
"Not only was this man seriously injured, his lips were purple and his wounds were black. He was obviously poisoned. Even if he was really dead, it wouldn't be surprising."
Li Yu gently covered the two dogs with a white cloth, and then came outside the door.
The sun was still quite bright at this time, and it gave me a little warmth.
Li Yu fell into deep thought.
For a long time, he looked in the direction of the mountain behind Guojiacun, his eyes deep.
"Red Scarf Thief"
In the evening, when the sky was getting dark, after dinner, Li Yu stretched his muscles and opened the door and saw that it was already snowing outside.
The sky was dark, accompanied by the howling cold wind, and pieces of snowflakes fell from the sky, falling on the trees and the ground. As far as the eye could see, the land was completely white.
The weather is obviously colder tonight.
Li Yu breathed out a white breath, shivering and closed the doors and windows. Even the gaps in the wall were plugged with straw and rags, and he was ready to go to bed.
Boom, boom, boom!
Unexpectedly, not long after he lay down on the bed, he heard someone knocking on the door.
Li Yu frowned, who would come to Yizhuang in the middle of the night?
"Who is it?" he asked loudly.
"It's me, the town's best catcher!" A man's voice came from outside the door. It sounded a little unclear because of the night wind.
The catcher's surname is Qu? Could it be that he is the old Qutou in town?
Li Yu's heart moved.
There is one catcher and two fast catchers in Qingshui Town, and Lao Qutou is one of them, and he is quite familiar with the old cripple. In the past, when the old cripple was here, he would occasionally come to the old cripple for a drink.
He put on his clothes, took the hatchet in his hand, and carefully looked out through the window.
Bandits are rampant these days, and burning, killing and looting are not uncommon, so we have to be on guard.
Through the window, he saw two vague figures standing outside. One of them was somewhat familiar. Li Yu felt relieved and went to open the door.
After opening the door, Li Yu took advantage of the moonlight outside and looked at the visitor.
There was an old man and a young man. The old man was about forty or fifty years old. His hair was a little white, and his eyes were wrinkled. He was dressed in soap clothes, with a knife hanging on his waist. He looked like a policeman. As his eyes moved, there was a trace of
Smooth and sophisticated.
The younger one was fifteen or sixteen years old, also wearing a police officer's uniform, holding a rusty broken knife in his hand, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, thick hands and thick feet, and a hint of honesty between his brows.
"I've met Lord Qu!"
Li Yu quickly saluted.
Lao Qutou waved his hand and said: "I have been friends with Lao Laizi for many years. You don't have to be polite to me. Just call me Uncle Qu."
Li Yu followed the good example and said hurriedly: "Uncle Qu!"
"Yes." Lao Qutou nodded and said: "Today we two went out for business, and we happened to encounter windy and snowy weather. Now the mountain road is slippery, so we can't go back for the time being. So I plan to stay here to avoid the wind and cold, and we will go there early tomorrow morning.
Walk!"
"Uncle Qu." Li Yu smiled and said, "You can stay here as long as you want."
Lao Qutou laughed: "What you said, kid, is that this is Yizhuang. I have nothing to do, so what should I do here with you?"
Li Yu looked at the young man again and asked curiously: "Who is this sir?"
"My surname is Guo, Guo Xiaoliu!" Before Lao Qutou could speak, the young man opened his mouth to respond.
"It turns out to be Mr. Guo!"
Li Yu also gave a salute.
Guo Xiaoliu was a little embarrassed and waved his hands: "Brother Li, you're welcome. I'm not a police officer yet."
After saying this, there was a hint of excitement on his face. Obviously, Guo Xiaoliu enjoyed this wonderful feeling of being respected and awed by others.
Seeing his behavior, Li Yu smiled, said nothing more, and said sideways: "It's windy outside, Uncle Qu and Mr. Guo, please come in!"
Lao Qutou took another look at Li Yu.
In the past, Li Yu was timid, very reserved and introverted, and did not dare to talk to others. Now this boy is naturally easy-going and has made great progress in his dealings with others. He is almost like a different person.
Could it be that because the old lame man died and had no one to rely on, supporting Yizhuang alone, he became more mature and sensible?
The two came in. Li Yu quickly closed the door, blocking out the wind and snow, found a fire stick, and lit the evergreen lamp. A dim yellow light filled the entire room.
Guo Xiaoliu shook the snow off his body and looked around curiously. When he saw the outline of a human figure under the white cloth on the wooden bed, his face froze obviously, a little unnatural.
Since this is Yizhuang, it goes without saying what is on the bed. He moved his steps and subconsciously moved closer to his master, Lao Qu.
But when he looked at Li Yu, there was obviously more admiration in his eyes.
In this wilderness, he still dares to sleep with a corpse at night. His courage alone is quite inferior.
Not long after, Li Yu moved a bench, found a brazier, lit some dry firewood, and with the light of the fire, there was a little heat in the room.
Lao Qutou and the two of them suddenly felt much more comfortable.
Guo Xiaoliu took out the dry and hard flour cake, found a branch, split it and clamped it, heated it with the water bag by the fire, and handed it to Lao Qutou.
The two of them were eating and chatting.
They talked about trivial matters, but in these words, Lao Qutou also gave a lot of advice to Guo Xiaoliu. Guo Xiaoliu was respectful and called Lao Qutou his master.
The two chatted, but they didn't avoid Li Yu.
Li Yu on the side heard clearly that Guo Xiaoliu was only a temporary catcher and a helper, and his relationship with Lao Qutou was master and apprentice.
While chatting, Guo Xiaoliu carefully took out the rusty broken knife in his hand. The broken knife was obviously rusty, but Guo Xiaoliu looked for a piece of cloth to wipe the water stains on it like a treasure, and then put it away again.
Bake it near a fire to prevent it from rusting over time.
Li Yu didn't care at all. Iron weapons were always expensive. Although Guo Xiaoliu's broken knife was not very good, it was still worth some money.
"Xiao Yu, what's going on with this guy on the bed?" After chatting for a while, Lao Qu pointed at the body on the bed.
Li Yu glanced at it and said casually: "This is the second dog from Guojia Village. He fell into the pond and drowned a few days ago."
"Pond?" Lao Qu made a move, a strange color flashed across his face, then returned to normal, nodded and said: "Not to mention this, have you seen any suspicious people in the past few days?"
