"I admire you for your uncanny calculations. Since you know how to calculate, why bother asking about the injuries on your body?"
"The art of calculation is to work with Heaven to seek blessings. You must not speculate on your own, and you must not ask Heaven for everything."
The middle-aged man smiled heartily: "It's just a few jokes for you, sir. Don't worry about it. I came here today and there are a few things I want to ask you."
"But it doesn't matter." Xia Shang handed over.
The two of them were talking to each other, but they were easy-going and calm, and they couldn't tell what the other person's purpose was.
However, Qin Huairou frowned slightly.
This middle-aged man has an ordinary look on his face, with no special features except for a slight stubble. His eyes and expressions are extremely old-fashioned, and the smile at the corner of his mouth cannot be seen to be true or false. A rain cloak is also the best cover.
This person acted so ordinary that Qin Huairou realized that this person was anything but ordinary!
Sure enough, Qin Huairou quickly noticed the key point - his cloth shoes were not even stained by water!
It rains so heavily that even if you are wearing a bamboo hat or a raincoat, it is impossible to avoid getting wet on your body. No matter how careful you are, there will be no rainwater on your clothes, but at least some traces will be left on your shoes.
But not only could no rainwater be seen on the middle-aged man's slope, not even a trace of dust could be seen, and it looked as good as new.
There is only one possibility to do this.
Unless the person's internal force is so strong that even rain and dust cannot touch the uppers of the shoes, he can unconsciously keep his internal force on his feet and form a layer of invisible Qi film on his feet.
This seems to be an ordinary thing, but only a martial arts practitioner like Qin Huairou understands it. This person needs to reach at least the late stage of the Chongmai realm to be able to do it. Even his father can't do it! Qin Huairou can't do it. Huairou had only seen a similar situation in her grandfather.
This is a man whose martial arts skills are so proficient that it’s scary! What’s his purpose in coming to see your husband?
"Xiaoyue, bring out my sword."
Qin Huairou whispered to Xiaoyue.
Xiaoyue still didn't understand, Qin Huairou quickly shouted: "Hurry up and go!"
When such a dangerous person appears in your home, no matter whether there is danger or not, you have to hold a sword in your hand to feel at ease.
Xiaoyue realized that something was wrong and quietly stepped back. But how could her movements escape the middle-aged man's eyes? In this way, the middle-aged man noticed this girl at a glance.
Little maid!
It seems there is nothing wrong.
The middle-aged man's expression remained unchanged, and he still asked Xia Shang with a faint smile: "Sir, did you find anything suspicious the night before yesterday?"
"The night before yesterday?"
Xia Shang thought for a while, wasn't it the time for Shangguanchan to come two nights ago?
The other party asked, could he be the one who injured Shangguanchan?
If what happened that night had not happened, Shangguan Chan's life and death would have nothing to do with Xia Shang, but it was different now! Shangguan Chan had a one-night stand with him, and no matter what, Xia Shang would never forget it.
"This...what are you talking about? Xia doesn't understand very well."
At this time, Xiaoyue came out of the house with a sword. The middle-aged man saw it and smiled faintly: "Sir, although you are kind to me, you have to think clearly before saying this, otherwise..."
"What else do you want?"
Qin Huairou held the sword, and with some confidence, she pulled Xia Shang back to her side and took two steps forward.
Facing Qin Huairou, the middle-aged man didn't even move his eyelids. He just said calmly: "Madam, there is no need to be angry. I am just talking to Mr. in a friendly manner and do not intend to commit any murder. Moreover, I think it is not wise for Madam to be so radical." , one must act within one’s ability.”
After saying that, the middle-aged man raised his hand and gently placed it on the wall of the thatched house. It was not clear how hard he was, but there was a burning smell. When he moved his hand away, there was a dark palm print on the wall!
The whole process took only one second, and there was no sign of even the middle-aged man's luck, which shows that he didn't try his best at all!
What kind of strength is needed to do this?
Even if Xia Shang doesn't understand martial arts, he can't help but feel horrified when he sees this scene in front of him!
"Madam, come back." Xia Shang pulled Qin Huairou to his side. He could feel that Madam was no match for him, and he was afraid that something might happen.
The middle-aged man was very satisfied with the effect and smiled: "Sir, can you think about it carefully now?"
Xia Shang swallowed. To be honest, he was also very nervous.
Some people can fool you with their mouths, but some people can't!
The man in front of me is obviously not the type to listen to nonsense. You have to be careful when talking to him.
"Then... you can tell me if you want. But you have to make an agreement first. As long as I tell you, you are not allowed to mess around."
"Of course, sir, do you think I am a murderer?"
"That's good! Two nights ago, a female thief did come to my place. She put a knife on my neck and asked someone to buy medicine for her. She left after a day."
"Is it really that simple?"
"It's that simple. I just didn't buy some medicine on the way. The woman thought I was cheating her on purpose. She wanted to kill me at that time, and I was stabbed in the shoulder. If my wife hadn't been able to do something like a three-legged cat,
Save me from that woman, I'm a dead man now."
"You were stabbed in the shoulder?"
Fortunately, the scar was still there. Xia Shang quickly opened his coat and showed it to the other party: "Look."
The middle-aged man frowned and nodded: "It was indeed her Qinglan who hurt her."
"Don't worry! I swear by my Chinese heart that I will never be biased."
"Then why didn't you tell me before?"
"How do I know if you are the female thief's accomplice? Of course I can't say it casually. By the way, are you the female thief's accomplice?"
"This is not your concern. What else do you know? Do you know where she went?"
"Of course I don't know where she went, but she seems to have been poisoned and is very weak, otherwise my wife wouldn't be able to beat her. She shouldn't be able to run far, and maybe she died of the poison nearby."
The middle-aged man didn't ask any more questions, silently put on his bamboo hat and turned back into the rain.
Maybe the master really has the integrity of a master. He didn't stop at all when he left, and soon disappeared without a trace.
At this time, the rain also eased, which made the whole family feel relaxed.
Qin Huairou wiped the sweat on her forehead: "Ms., he probably won't come back."
However, Xia Shang did not relax. On the contrary, he was sweating profusely, his brows were furrowed, his face was gloomy, and he looked very scary.
"Ms. sir... what's wrong with you? There's really no need to worry. I can feel that man. He won't kill innocent people indiscriminately."
As if because of nervousness, Xia Shang was trembling when he spoke: "This, this, this... this... now... it's not a question of whether he can... kill me... it's a question of... it's... I have to... find a way to kill him.
!”
"What?!" Qin Huairou's expression changed immediately upon hearing this, "Ms. sir, are you talking nonsense?"
"I, I, I...I'm sober! That person...must die!" (To be continued)
