Chapter 42 42 Report of Sickness

Chapter 42 42. Reporting illness

After a while, Wen Xiaoqiao came back.

The fat woman looks like a tank. She is walking in the wind and snow, followed by four handymen with swords. She is quite majestic.

"Miss Wen, how is the situation?" Li Yuan asked.

Wen Xiaoqiao paused and said, "Master Li, you don't want to see it yourself, but you ask me?"

Immediately, she smiled sweetly and said: "It's normal. This is what a live market should look like. Most of the goods are either numb or trembling, and only a small part is crying.

But as soon as they cry, the businessmen next to them will punish them, so their voices will soon calm down."

Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

This time, he was not lamenting about the world, but thinking about scenes from some horror movies in his previous life.

Places with heavy grievances and dampness are prone to being sneaky.

The black market meets both conditions.

Wen Xiaoqiao said: "Tonight, I will lead all the servants to keep vigil here. Will Mr. Li come?"

"Vigil?"

"If this case can be solved, it must be a great achievement. Mr. Li doesn't know that the Blood Knife Sect can shorten the assessment period based on merit, right?

With this great achievement, maybe we can be promoted to outer disciples in a few months. "Wen Xiaoqiao talked eloquently and continued to encourage his partner.

"This is a black market. It's right in the middle of the lake. It has a wide view. If there are foreign enemies coming, they can see it in advance.

If there is a traitor, then Mr. Li is also in charge, so what are you afraid of? "

After saying that, she glanced at Li Yuan and asked with a smile, "Little Master Li, aren't you frightened by a bad story about missing people?"

"Master Li is a high-level warrior, how could he be afraid? If word of this spreads."

Wen Xiaoqiao said one word after another, trying to get Li Yuan to tie him on the boat. After all, with one more high-level warrior to watch the night together, she could feel more at ease.

Li Yuan suddenly turned sideways, lowered his head, coughed slightly, and then his cuff slipped, and a bag the size of a fingernail slipped out.

The bag contained pig blood that he had prepared in advance.

Of course, in addition to pig blood, he also prepared lime powder, iron nails and other items in his arms.

With a flick of his finger, the bag of pig blood fell into his mouth.

Immediately, Li Yuan bit the bag and coughed violently, coughing up the blood.

The blood was shocking, red plum blossoms bloomed on the palms, and even the soil was stained with red.

Wen Xiaoqiao, who was next to him, didn't notice his little move, and was a little dazed when he saw the blood on the ground.

The tank woman suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Yuan in surprise.

The handyman next to him also looked over in shock.

There was silence in the air for a moment.

Li Yuan had another long-lasting "cough", and then gasped heavily.

He was out of breath and looked like he was going to die at any moment.

Wen Xiaoqiao asked subconsciously: "Are you okay?"

It took a long time for Li Yuan to regain his composure and said weakly: "The old injury recurred. It still happened in Xiaomo Mountain.

Ask the people in Xiaomofang about this, everyone will know

Ahem, the doctor at the Huichun Hall in the county also knows."

Wen Xiaoqiao was stunned. She thought that Mr. Li was cowardly, but she didn't expect that he was really injured.

"That"

"I'm going to tell Mr. Li to take a few days off to recuperate." Li Yuan sighed and said with some reluctance, "Hey, this is such a great achievement. Miss Wen, why don't you wait for me? After you recover, let’s watch together again.”

"You should take good care of your injuries." Wen Xiaoqiao regained her composure, her little eyes sparkling, and she thought to herself: This is fine. I thought I would respect this little Mr. Li here, but I didn't expect that he couldn't help him. Sixty handymen, so many people, plus Mr. Li is in charge. Oh, that just gives me an advantage!

After a while, Li Yuan came to the black market gate, clutching his chest.

Above the nameless pavilion, Mr. Li was lying on the rocking chair, soundly asleep.

"Master Li, the old injury has recurred, and I need to take a few days off. Ahem," Li Yuandao said.

Along the way, he had already made up many reasons.

But before he could say anything, he heard Master Li's voice coming from the small pavilion.

"In that case, then go back and rest for half a month. In half a month it will be your next duty, so you can come back then."

"Yes, cough, thank you, Mr. Li, cough."

After that, he covered his chest and turned around to leave pretending to be weak.

In the pavilion, Mr. Li on the recliner was still shaking and shaking.

The sound of the creaking wicker chair was a bit harsh in the heavy snow.

Shed area.

Li Yuan's family.

Lady Yan was stewing meat and cooking rice with Aunt Wang when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Aunt Wang leaned over, looked out from the crack in the door, hurriedly opened the door, looked at the young man in black clothes in front of the door and said, "Master."

Lady Yan also ran over and asked with concern: "Ms. sir, why are you back so soon?"

"Let's talk after we enter the house. Ahem," Li Yuandao said.

Madam Yan glanced at him worriedly, but said nothing for the time being. Instead, she said: "Aunt Wang, please add some bowls and chopsticks."

Aunt Wang responded respectfully and hurriedly went to get new bowls and chopsticks.

After a while, when the corn was cooked and the meat was stewed, she did not serve it. Instead, she took her two children outside and continued to work.

Aunt Wang is cleaning the house. This house has been lived in before, so it is impossible to cover everything when moving in in a hurry.

The two children also had shy little faces that were red from the cold, grabbing rags and wiping them everywhere.

Li Yuan sat at the table and shouted: "Aunt Wang, let's eat together."

Outside the house, Aunt Wang said: "Master, we are not hungry, you eat first."

Li Yuan was silent for a moment, and Lady Yan said, "Sir, just let her go, don't make it difficult for her.

Aunt Wang told me that since she is here to be a servant, she must behave like a servant and can't be the same as before.

She was brought to Yinxi by us, and she is grateful. If we ask her to sit at the same table to eat, she will definitely not be able to get over it."

Li Yuan looked outside the house and saw the two little ones working outside with red faces.

He said, "Then set up another table and let the three of them go to eat."

"Really?"

"Really."

Lady Yan got up and took Aunt Wang aside to talk for a long time.

Aunt Wang then led the two children to thank them, and then moved a table to the side room, served rice and meat, and ate with the two children.

In the main room, it was calm.

The young couple sat opposite each other and ate in silence.

Li Yuan suddenly said, "From today on, just treat it as a recurrence of my old injury, the one I got in Xiaomo Mountain."

Madam Yan looked up in astonishment.

Li Yuan said, "I'll stay at home for a few days to recover, and then we'll talk."

"My husband, is it... did something happen?" Madam Yan was a little nervous.

Li Yuan said, "It's something in the black market, I hope I'm overthinking it."

He had nothing to hide from his wife, so he told her about the missing case.

Madam Yan was also a little scared when she heard it, and said, "Then stay at home first, and go after the situation is clear."

After dinner.

Li Yuan took a nap, and his eyes suddenly cast on the sword issued by the Blood Knife Sect.

Before, he was busy running around, and he didn't have a fixed time and tools to try something.

Now that he is sick at home, he has this knife in his hand.

Then maybe he can try swinging the knife.

Since communicating with tigers can comprehend "beast taming skills", is it possible to comprehend "sword skills" by swinging the knife?

Although the shed is small, it has everything a sparrow needs.

The main house, the side house, the front yard and the backyard are all there.

The snow flakes are falling, and the empty space in the backyard that Aunt Wang has swept away is covered with new white.

Li Yuan came to the empty space with his sword, drew it, put it away, and waved it around for a while, but nothing happened.

He sat under the eaves to rest for a while, and then thought of his experience as a butcher in his previous life, and decided to try the "knife skills" he learned when slaughtering pigs.
