How to work

Lu Li began to organize the internal organs of the deceased and sew them up.The deceased showed obvious metal mercury poisoning. In ancient times, mercury seemed to be called...

"mercury."

"Mercury?" The water ghost's face was stern, and his eyes rolled, as if he was filtering out any suspicious person who killed Big Brother.

Lu Li recalled what he had learned before, how was ancient mercury refined?It seems to use cinnabar...

He turned his head to look at Zhao Zhu, "Brother Zhao, do you know where the mercury came from?"

"Cinnabar, calcined in water, there are two kinds of 'congealing on the upper fire' and 'extraction on the lower fire'. The process is not complicated, and it can be extracted with cinnabar ore." However, mercury is not used much, and the amount used is extremely small. It is mostly used in anti-corrosion technology, and it is not common. Zhao Zhu asked Lu Li, "Are you sure it is mercury poisoning?"

Lu Li nodded, "[-]% sure."

Before the water ghost could come up with a clue, Lu Li simply asked him, "Water ghost, where is the cinnabar mine near Xingyuan?"

The water ghost was stunned, and suddenly gritted his teeth, "Only five miles away from here, there is a small black mountain. The mountain is red and black, and there is a cinnabar mine! There are villagers in the small black mountain who make a living by refining this, why didn't I think of it!"

He beat the stone wall hard, "The people there must have killed my elder brother!"

Lu Li shook his head, "Who is the murderer? Evidence is still needed. As far as I know, this small Black Mountain is very poor. Anyone with a certain status would not be willing to go there. Has Tu Tong been there?"

The water ghost thought about it carefully, "I've never heard of it."

"So what..."

Lu Li tidied up the corpse, carried him back into the coffin with Zhao Zhu, rubbed his lower back, "The corpse has been examined, and there is no need to look for other evidence next. I want to go down the cliff, And you?"

The water ghost took a deep look at Tu Tong, then closed the coffin, "Sir, please go ahead, I will burn some paper money for elder brother and then go down too. It is already past noon, and the second head will be in the bamboo building on the east side, sir. to find."

"So, I will take my leave."

Lu Li planned well, but when he turned around, he was worried about the two boxes.He knew how heavy his things were, anyway, he couldn't lift them by himself, but Zhao Zhu wanted to carry him down the cliff, how could he carry them?

The young man's brows and eyes were tangled, as if he was facing a huge difficulty, Zhao Zhu was amused, and pulled him into his arms, "Someone will clean up, don't worry."

Lu Li immediately remembered, "Your men?"

Zhao Zhu nodded, and walked out with the boy in his arms.

Lu Li's eyes sparkled, "Is it Hong You? No, Hong You is following the young master. Who is that? Speaking of which, I have only met one of your subordinates. Who else, please show me—"

Zhao Zhu didn't even have a warning, and jumped straight down. Lu Li screamed again and again, and subconsciously hugged Zhao Zhu hard.

The two people's chests are pressed tightly together, even if the mountain wind is howling, they can still hear each other's heartbeat.

Lu Li played another weightless stimulus and landed steadily. He was so excited that his throat was a little hoarse, but his shining eyes did not change at all, "I will do it next time!"

Zhao Zhu had a disgusted look on his face, "That's all the bumpkins ask for", "Okay."

He didn't notice it at all. He didn't know when it started, he became more and more tolerant towards Lu Li, and an emotion called 'love' gradually appeared in his eyes.

No one notices, no one reminds, it has taken root in the ocean of consciousness, grown up...

The Dragon Festival at the foot of the mountain is still going on, and the atmosphere is more enthusiastic than before, or more violent.Perhaps at a critical moment, the competition arena was covered with blood, and the men in the audience roared more, and there were even signs of fighting.

Zhao Zhu had a good ear, so he explained to Lu Li, "In the middle of the competition, some gangs have lost their qualifications, and some have entered the final duel. Everyone is very angry."

The road was blocked as usual, Lu Li felt his flat stomach, and he and Zhao Zhu simply left the crowd to buy some snacks, "Where is the young master, did you see it?"

"No." Zhao Zhu picked something he didn't like from Lu Li's bowl, and took a few pieces of meat from his own bowl, "Hong You follow, he can't throw it away."

"Yeah!" Lu Li ate with a smile on his face, thinking that Zhao Zhu's friend is simply not too caring, whoever will be happy with him in the future!

While eating, he watched the fight on the martial arts arena. After his stomach was full, Lu Li took Zhao Zhu's hand and walked towards the direction of the bamboo building, "Hold on to me, don't let me be separated again."

Zhao Zhu knew that he was worried about the accident like before, but what he said was a bit ambiguous, and he couldn't help but think inwardly, how much the little white-eyed wolf wants to occupy himself!

Sweating out of his brow, Lu Li successfully crossed the sea of ​​people and headed towards the bamboo building.

He guessed that the water ghost must have found Wu Hao one step earlier than him, and explained the situation. Maybe they still need to discuss this matter, so he was not in a hurry and walked slowly.

Unexpectedly, before he reached the bamboo tower, he first met Tu Tong's wife, Luo Shi.

Luo came from the blue stone path in Xieli with the child in his arms, and was about to walk to the bamboo building, when he turned a corner, he met Lu Li face to face.

Luo Shi nodded rather coldly, and was about to cross the body with the two, but Lu Li called her, "Madam Luo?"

Luo stopped in surprise, "My concubine's surname is Luo, may I ask your Excellency..." She didn't know Lu Li and Zhao Zhu.

Lu Li didn't say anything bluntly, and made a funny face to tease the little baby in her arms, "Madam doesn't know us, but we do know Madam. Madam is outstanding, and I admire you very much. It's such a chance meeting, I'm so excited." , then shouted out, and asked Madam not to mind."

The child in his arms smiled happily, Luo Shi tightened the corner of the child's clothes, with a slight smile on his face, "It's just luck, thanks to the blessings of the brothers."

Luo's appearance was glamorous, even though there was a smile on the corners of her mouth and brows, the defense hidden in her almond eyes was not lowered. Lu Li observed carefully, and felt that Luo was not at all like the woman in Wu Hao's description.

In Wu Hao's description, Luo's family is gentle and careless. When she first married Tu Tong, she was often jealous, and even fought with the women raised outside Tu Tong like she had no brains. He never went out except to take his son along the river to spread.

But this Luo family has a cute face, and the shrewdness in his eyes can be seen as long as he puts his heart into it...

"Madame is modest."

"Where are you going, son? My concubine makes way for you."

Lu Li was carefully looking at the child in Luo's arms, but he didn't look at Luo, when he heard Luo's voice, he suddenly understood.

The Luo family has a good voice, soft as water, like strings, tactful and soft, with a unique charm.Recalling just a few words, not looking at the person but listening to the voice, Luo's feeling is indeed gentle and watery.

And a person's voice is the best expression of her expression.For example, when Zhao Zhu speaks, no matter how proud and cold his expression is, Lu Li likes to listen to it, not for other reasons, because Zhao Zhu’s voice is so beautiful, listening is to enjoy, because of this voice, he can temporarily endure all shortcomings, and sometimes There is an illusion that this person is very gentle.

It's the same with Luo Shi, if she deliberately expresses intimacy and tenderness, and then hides the intention in her eyes a little bit, no one will think too much about it.Especially gangsters, they are all places where men gather.

Men always look down on women, and they will always be mastered by powerful women.

"This doll looks really good, with slender eyebrows and handsome eyes. I'm afraid he will be a handsome young man when he grows up. I heard that Chief Tu's thick eyebrows and big eyes are very heroic. The child probably looks like you, madam." Lu Li giggled the little doll, The voice was very casual, "Listen to the accent, isn't Madam a local?"

"It's really not. I came to Xingyuan when I was young, and I don't remember where my hometown is." Luo looked softly at Lu Li, "Growing up in Xingyuan, no one ever said that I was returning to Xingyuan. There is an accent, and I don't know it myself, this young man has a pair of good ears."

"Ma'am, thanks."

"My lord, what is my concubine's accent?" Luo's voice was slow, as if he was looking forward to it, "I'm like duckweed drifting alone, and I also want to know where my roots are."

Lu Li's eyes drooped slightly, and he raised his head after a while, smiling regretfully, "It's just a feeling in my heart, but I can't tell where Madam is from, I'm really sorry."

Luo sighed faintly, "It's the concubine who is demanding, the young master doesn't have to be like this. If the young master is fine, I will let the concubine resign."

Luo raised his foot and wanted to leave.

Lu Li suddenly asked, "Madam, have you ever been to Xiaoheishan?"

Luo Shi paused, and then asked with a smile, "What little Black Mountain?"

"It's Xiaoheishan not far from here. I heard it's very poor. Madam, have you ever been there?"

The doll in her arms turned her head to look at Lu Li, and Luo adjusted her holding position, "I've never been there before. How poor is Xiaoheishan? In the future, should we transfer some silver rice to help..." The voice behind Very low, but seems to be talking to himself.

Luo's behavior did not look like a gang leader at all, but like a very kind-hearted lady.

Afterwards, Luo Shi did not deliberately mention the matter of leaving again, and slowly left with the child in his arms.

Lu Li looked at her back, thoughtfully.

"Brother Zhao, do you think this Luo family... is a bit weird?"

Zhao Zhu raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you make a judgment?"

Lu Li smiled, "If more people approve, I will have more confidence."

Zhao Zhu took a deep look at him, "...um."

After staying for a while, the two continued to move forward.

Maybe today's Rising Dragon Club was too lively, and before they finished their journey, they met another person.

"Butler Guan?" Lu Li was very surprised, "Why haven't you gone back yet?"

Guan Shan was sweating all over his head, and his expression was very distressed, "Sister Fang is unwilling to leave, this place where gangsters gather... I don't dare to use strong methods, so I have to be careful to persuade, finally persuaded, this road is difficult Let's go, Sister Fang is a female family member, how can she shuttle among the men? I went to the people of the Water Dragon Gang, the host of the Rising Dragon Society, and used money to clear the way, and they agreed to make a way for them."

"Butler Guan has worked hard."

Guan Shan had a smile on his face, "There's nothing you can do about it. Who told you to catch up with everything?" He raised his sleeves and wiped his sweat, "Is Mr. Lu here to watch the fun or is he busy? If you want to go back now, I just cleared the way. , we can go together."

Lu Li quietly looked at Guan Shan for a moment, then declined, "Thank you for your concern, butler, but no need, the two of us still need to find a friend."
