Chapter 36 Bottleneck
Zhenxing suddenly frowned. Qi Boxong gently raised Zhenxing's hand and asked softly, "Do you hurt?" Zhen Xing nodded, and a burst of warmth wrapped her.
If he can stay with her all day and live a peaceful and beautiful life every day, what else does she want? Isn't this life the process from plain to brilliant and then from brilliant to plain?
Isn't it the most perfect ending to have a lover who can finally get married? But when will she wait for such an ending? She could see that Qi Boxong also liked her secretly. However, he always thought that she would leave one day. At that time, won't it hurt more deeply?
"Just now, I asked the doctor. You may have to avoid it recently. You can't eat anything that is harmful to your health. Especially seafood. Eat more meat. When I was learning martial arts, the teacher always said, "What you eat to eat to make up for it." Qi Bosong said.
Zhen Xing nodded, and Qi Boxong stared at Zhen Xing's arm. What does it look like?" Qi Bosong asked.
"I don't know. I'm afraid and dare not look at it. Do you think it will become a black bone with no meat around it? Zhen Xing suddenly said.
The two coincidentally thought of the scene described by Zhen Xing. After that, whenever Zhen Xing stretched out her left arm, a black skin wrapped in thin bones. One end of the bone is still connected to the arm, and the other part is connected to the upper arm. The part with only the little arm is black and terrible.
Zhen Xing couldn't help fighting a cold war, and Qi Bosong quickly woke up from his hallucination.
"Don't worry, it won't be like that. You haven't burned in the fire for long. I think it should have just burned a layer of skin outside. By the way, when I was in the capital, I heard that Xuelian seemed to be able to cure such burns. Qi Bosong said.
Zhen Xing glanced at her mouth. Xuelian is not omnipotent. How can it cure burns? Zhen Xing said.
Qi Bosong smiled and stopped answering, but he secretly calculated that tomorrow, he should buy a snow lotus to try.
Zhen Xing looked down at her arm and suddenly remembered Amaranta, who had been lonely for a hundred years. She burned her palm in order to atone for her sins. From then on, her hands were wrapped in a piece of black gauze. Zhen Xing had a cold war. What would it look like under the gauze? Shouldn't it be? Only bones without meat, right? Zhen Xing didn't dare to think about it anymore.
On the second day, when the patrol of Yamen went to work, he saw the person hanging under the eaves. Several patrols first appreciated and mocked him before they let him down.
Qi Bosong calculated that it was time for the patrol to go to work, so he left home and went straight to the government office. Just as Qi Bosong was still on the way, the two patrols began to interrogate the man who had been hanging under the eaves all night.
"What's your name?" The patrolman asked.
"Li Si." The man answered.
"Why was it hung under the eaves of the government building all night? Did you do something bad?" The patrolman asked.
At this time, another patrolman interrupted with a smile and said, "It should have been an affair last night, right? Look at his virtue. He should have been caught and raped."
Li Si suddenly knelt down with a sad face.
"Two adults, you'd better arrest me. To be honest, last night, I was instructed by the big faction to burn the Qiji supermarket. Who knows, not long after the fire started, it was discovered by the Qi family. I didn't escape at first, but mixed in the crowd. He also pushed their boss's wife into the fire. Later, when there were fewer and fewer people, I found an opportunity to escape. Unexpectedly, it was discovered by their boss again. Well, he hung me here all night. Two adults, I beg you, don't let me go back!" Li Si said.
The two patrolmen couldn't help looking at each other. What's the reason? The two of them have been fighting for half of their lives. The prisoners they see have always thought about how to escape. How can they desperately want to come in?
"What you said is true?" A patrolman asked.
"The sentence is true. Please arrest me!" Li Si said.
A patrolman finally couldn't help but be curious and said gently, "The Qi family hasn't come to report the case yet. If you don't confess now, we won't arrest you."
Li Si suddenly kowtowed desperately to the two patrol officers as if he had seen a ghost. Please, two adults, you'd better arrest me!" Li Si shouted.
The two patrolmen looked at each other. This is really unique in the world. If the prisoners are all of this quality, what else do they have to patrol? They have done a bad thing. They just need to go to prison by themselves. How leisure is it for the patrol to beat the horse at home?
"You have committed a crime, of course we will arrest you. But why do you desperately want to go to prison? A patrolman asked.
As soon as he heard that he was going to catch himself, Li Si immediately smiled.
"If I go back to you, to tell you the truth, if I don't go in and be known by the boss of the Qi family, I will definitely not be able to forgive me. He can hang me on the beam of the government building, and he can hang me on the chimney. If I tell the truth, Yu Dapai can't let me live. He will definitely try his best to kill me. Therefore, the safest place now is the prison. Li Si said.
The two patrolmen nodded and ordered Li Si to be put into prison. However, another problem is in front of them. Yu Dapai is the brother-in-law of the county magistrate. Who has a few black gauze hats that can be picked by the county magistrate? Who is not a family and depends on salary to support the family?
If you offend the county magistrate, what good fruit can you eat?
He just doesn't remove your position immediately, and he will also find a way to put small shoes on you. It's okay. Why are you looking for that unhappy?
As soon as the two discussed, they simply put the blame on Li Si. In this way, the Yu faction will also be exempted from the criminal law and will not offend the county magistrate.
Qiji Supermarket is closed today, and Zhen Xing is distressed to hold an abacus. Xiao Fuzi carefully counted the goods, and Zhen Xing was counting the loss while holding the account book.
After about an hour, Xiao Fuzi finished the inventory of all the goods. This time, even the burned goods and the water were flooded. It also counts the burned shelves. Fortunately, she asked Xiaofuzi to move the wine to the end yesterday. The fire did not burn the wine, otherwise, the whole house would be gone.
Calculated by calculation, all the losses in the house totaled 50 taels of silver. However, the signboard and the gate have burned down and need to be reinstalled. I'm afraid these two items will cost 20 or 30 taels of silver. In addition, the store has been blackened by the fire, and it must be repainted. I'm afraid these losses add up to more than 100 taels of silver.
As soon as Zhen Xing sighed and was worried about the lost silver, Widow Li walked into Qiji Supermarket.
"Ouch, Aunt Li, why are you here?" Zhenxing panicked and almost fell off the chair. As soon as she stretched out her hand and stretched out the wound, she almost cried in pain.
Widow Li looked at Zhen Xing's store inside and outside and said strangely, "Oh, why can't I come? Anyway, this house is also mine. Even if you burned it for me, it's also surnamed Li!"
As soon as Zhen Xing heard this, she knew that Widow Li was not satisfied with the house on fire.
"Xiao Fuzi, go and pour a cup of good tea for Aunt Li. In addition, there is pine candy in my room that they sent yesterday. It's from Fangji Pastry Farm. It tastes the best. Zhen Xing said with a smile.
Widow Li glanced at Zhen Xing and reached out without hitting the smiling face. She laughed with her. She just didn't want to and can't pick out her problems. It's like Mei Chaofeng raised the Jiuyin white bone palm, but the palm disappeared.
"Age Aunt Li, please sit down. By the way, we just bought some satin in our store yesterday. It's very soft, and it's great to make underwear. Would you like to have a look in a moment? Zhen Xing said with a smile.
Widow Li's face suddenly changed. She looked at Zhen Xing and said, "Let's not beat around the bush. You burned down our house. What do you think we should do? You have to give me a reasonable explanation, right? You can't say it's burned, right?
Zhen Xing gradually calmed down, with a sweet smile on her face.
"Aunuch Li, the saddest thing for this to happen is us. The store was burned down, and we lost a lot. Even I was hurt. However, the burn has been burned. We will pay for all the repair costs. Zhen Xing said.
"You should have put it out, but can't you let me out? I mean, you burned my house. Don't you have any compensation for me?" Widow Li said.
Zhen Xing was stunned. She had never experienced such a thing. Has this been written in the rental contract? Besides, it's compensation. How can it be compensated?
"Oh, Aunt Li, I really didn't think about it. Well, can I wait for my man to come back and discuss with him? Zhen Xing said in embarrassment.
Widow Li couldn't help but be furious when she heard the word "man". When something happened, there was a man to discuss, and he didn't even have a negotiable person! Why is life so different?
"No, I don't have so much time to wait for your reply. If you want to pay, you can pay it now." Widow Li said.
Zhen Xing took a deep breath and suppressed the irritability caused by the pain.
"Aunuch Li, how about this? You make a price and I'll buy your house. Do you think it's okay?" Zhen Xing said.
"What should I eat if you buy it? I have relied on the house to support me for the rest of my life!" Widow Li said angrily. Half of her house was burned, and the other half was purely jealous of women with men.
Zhenxing is a little embarrassed. What should I do when I encounter this kind of thing? If it is a hundred years later, she can consult a lawyer, but now, she has to ask who to inquire.
"Hurry up, a hundred taels of silver." Aunt Li suddenly said.
Zhen Xing was shocked. Unexpectedly, this old widow was really a lion who opened her mouth and was not afraid of swallowing and choking.
