who and the rivers and lakes

Zhu Tianxiang struggled to stand up from the wheelchair, but Zhan Zhao stepped forward to stop him.

Zhan Zhao smiled at Zhu Tianxiang, turned around and walked behind the wheelchair, and put his hand on the handle of the wheelchair.

Zhu Tianxiang was so panicked that beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, he put his hands on the chair and wanted to stand up, and said, "Brother Zhan... Brother Zhan, brother... I really don't dare to be my brother..."

Zhan Zhao put his hands on his thin shoulders and said, "Brother Zhu, it's okay, I'll push you into the house."

Zhu Tianxiang felt the warmth and strength of the hand on his shoulder, so he stopped struggling, sat back in the chair, and said, "Thank you...thank you, brother Zhan. It's because I was too slow to go down the mountain to get the medicine. Haven't come back yet."

The inside of the big house is as simple as the outside.There are few furnishings in the living room, only a small table and two wooden chairs.

Zhu Tianxiang looked at Zhan Zhao and the other four people, lowered his head in shame, and smiled shyly: "Please wait a moment, I'll go inside and move the stool."

Ding Yuehua couldn't see it, so he rushed forward and said, "Second Master Zhu, you are inconvenient, I'd better move the stool."

She is not polite, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so she lifted the curtain and walked into the inner room while speaking.

Ding Yuehua rushed into the inner room, and everyone else understood her temperament and didn't find it unusual.

The smile on Zhu Tianxiang's mouth suddenly disappeared, and his eyes widened.He was hated by others since he was a child, and he used to not get close to others. Suddenly seeing Ding Yuehua step into a place he regarded as private without any restraint, it was as if someone had roughly broken into his hidden heart. He was frightened for a moment, his lips trembled, Clenched hands into fists, unable to speak.

Seeing his strange expression, Zhan Zhao was about to ask, but Ding Yuehua came out excitedly with a wooden stool in one hand.

Seeing the cheerful smile on her face, Zhu Tianxiang slowly relaxed his tense body, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again, and after taking a second look, he felt that the beautiful girl in front of him was natural and refreshing, not touching.

Ding Yuehua put down the wooden stool, and with a happy face, he said to Zhu Tianxiang, "I didn't expect that Second Master Zhu's carving skills are so good."

Zhan Zhao glanced at Ding Yuehua and said, "What does Miss Ding mean?"

Hearing Zhan Zhao's question, Ding Yuehua immediately looked away from Zhu Tianxiang's face, looked at Zhan Zhao and said, "Brother Zhan, I saw a lot of small carvings on the table in the inner room, which are vivid and interesting." She finished talking to Zhan Zhao first, then looked at Zhu Tianxiang and said, "You carved them all, right?"

Zhu Tianxiang first looked at Zhan Zhao, then at Ding Yuehua, and said, "I'm ashamed, it's just some little tricks I played carelessly when I was young, and I don't do it now."

Ding Yuehua still said cheerfully: "If Second Master Zhu doesn't mind, can you give me two?"

Zhu Tianxiang was praised by her, smiled shyly, eyes sparkled, looked at Ding Yuehua and said: "It's rare that Miss Ding likes it, I'm too happy, please choose whatever you want."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Yuehua turned around and ran into the inner room, and quickly came out with two small sculptures in both hands.

Seeing how childish she is, everyone unconsciously smiled.

The two small sculptures in Ding Yuehua's hands are both carved out of hardwood, one is a little boy with two braids on his head, and the other is a puppy napping under a tree.Zhu Tianxiang himself is shy and melancholy, but these two small sculptures are full of innocence and joy, which makes people love it. No wonder Ding Yuehua can't put it down.

Ding Yuehua handed the small sculpture in front of Zhan Zhao, and said happily, "Brother Zhan, look, isn't it cute?"

Zhan Zhao looked down carefully, then looked up at Zhu Tianxiang and said, "Brother Zhu is really good at it."

Zhu Tianxiang's eyes turned back and forth on Ding Yuehua's and Zhan Zhao's faces, his pale face was red, and he gasped a little, and said, "These are just the same when I was young, when I had nothing to do and no one to talk to, just It’s just fun to do something random, I’m laughing at you.”

Ding Yuehua said: "Second Master Zhu is too humble. Your carving skills are actually somewhat better than the old Li's head carved for people in the back of my house."

Zhan Zhao said: "Brother Zhu's craftsmanship is indeed far beyond that of ordinary craftsmen. I think you made the wheelchair yourself?" "

The smile at the corner of Zhu Tianxiang's mouth split even wider, and he said, "My little brother did it, but unfortunately the technology is not good, and it has to be pushed by people, so it can't run on its own."

Zhan Zhao smiled, took out something from his bosom, put it on the small table, and said to Zhu Tianxiang: "Since brother Zhu is good at woodcarving, can you identify this thing?"

What he placed on the table was a slender wooden cylinder.After the incense ash was wiped off, the cylinder appeared to be tough and smooth, and the carving was exquisite. It was really a skillful work, and it was hard to believe that it could be a murder weapon.

Zhu Tianxiang carefully picked up the cylinder, turned it over in his palm, looked at it, and said slowly: "This is the needle cylinder that killed Big Brother? Although it is narrow, it has a precise structure. It is entirely made of wood, and only It takes an almost perfect fit of one part to produce such a powerful launch."

Zhan Zhao asked, "Brother Zhu, can't you achieve such a superb level?"

Zhu Tianxiang looked up at Zhan Zhao, with a shy expression on his face, as if he blamed himself for his incompetence, and said: "This carver's craftsmanship is much better than that of my younger brother. In comparison, those things of my younger brother are just Children's small carving skills. Don't say that my younger brother has long since given up carving. Even if he keeps working hard, he will never be able to make such a fine product. To carve such a delicate and powerful needle cylinder requires not only extremely flexible hands, but also Beyond mortal intellect."

Zhan Zhao sighed, and said, "Brother Zhu is right. It's a pity that such a talent wastes his talent on killing people. It's really heartbreaking."

Zhu Tianxiang nodded repeatedly, as if no matter what Zhan Zhao said, he would agree without hesitation.

Zhan Zhao looked around and asked, "Brother Zhu, does he live here alone?"

Zhu Tianxiang was stunned for a moment, his face darkened, and he said: "The younger brother is often alone in Nuoda's house, I'm used to it." He raised his head, looked at everyone smiling, there was self-mockery and sadness in the smile, "Of course, usually There is also my little book boy by my side, although he is more silent than me all day long, at least he is one more person."

Zhan Zhao said: "Brother Zhu and Zhu Zhuangzhu are sibling brothers, what do you think about Zhu Zhuangzhu's death?"

Zhu Tianxiang smiled again, but it was as sad as crying, and said in a low voice: "Although I and elder brother are blood brothers, we don't see each other a few times throughout the year, let alone talk in depth, so I really know about elder brother's affairs. not much."

Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone understood what he meant. Zhu Tianwei looked down upon this brother, and he just wished he could disappear out of thin air, and of course he didn't want to get close to him.

How many dark secrets are hidden under the bright appearance of Zhujiazhuang?The ugliness of the body is not terrible, what is really terrible is the ugliness of the human heart, but as long as a person is alive, who dares to pat his chest and guarantee that he has never had a single evil thought?As for the distorted human nature due to various selfish desires, Zhan Zhao has been handling cases for many years, has he seen very few of them?Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao couldn't help lowering his head and sighing secretly.

Everyone thought about each other for a while, lowered their eyes, and stopped talking.

Although the sun outside was bright, it couldn't shine into the big house, and the room was quiet and dark, and everyone's mood became a little more depressed.

A person walked in quietly outside the door, thin and thin, with disheveled hair and face, holding a large bag of herbs in both hands, it was Zhu Tianxiang's little book boy Lianji.

Lian Ji seldom saw anyone in the big house, let alone so many people, and they were sitting and talking with their master.He was stunned for a moment, then turned his eyes, and it turned out to be black and white. He glanced at everyone, but hurriedly lowered his eyelids, lowered his head, and didn't speak, like a frightened little animal, tiptoed along the wall and walked in. Inner room.After a while, the room was filled with the bitter medicinal fragrance.

Zhan Zhao stood up and said, "Brother Zhu is inconvenient, rest well, and we will leave." He thought for a while, and then said: "If brother Zhu thinks of any clues, please let me know."

Zhu Tianxiang looked at Ding Yuehua and then at Zhan Zhao, with a look of reluctance on his face, but today's income has far exceeded his expectations, so he said a few words of thank you, and did not dare to say more to persuade him to stay.

When Zhan Zhao and his party left the big house, they saw the old housekeeper's blessing coming from a distance, with anxious expressions on their faces.When he came to Bai Xinyu, he said, "Miss San, I found you, how could I never have thought that you would come here?"

Seeing his panicked expression, Bai Xinyu felt bad, and asked anxiously, "Did you ask me for something?"

Blessing quickly glanced at the big house in the distance, and said: "Yes, Madam is ill again, you should go and have a look."
