The Folk Song of the Qingquan Case in the Northern Song Dynasty

elder brother?

Gan Qing was startled, and stared at the sleeping dumb son bewilderedly.Her face was full of exhaustion, she was thin and weak, it was hard to imagine that she had a blood relationship with the thick-haired monster in the secret room just now.

"Look at dumb children and monsters, as brothers and sisters, how much alike are they? It is said that humans and monsters have different paths and are inseparable; and humans and animals are naturally very different. However, looking at today's events, who can make such a mistake?" Conclusion?"

Xiangquan's voice was very soft, and he said these two sentences.The lights flickered, and my clean heart seemed to be covered with a layer of dark fog.Monsters have always been hated by people, and animals cannot be treated equally.Qian Qing and Xiang Quan entered the secret room just now, and they were also prepared to "strike hard".

But Xiangquan's words made Qianqing a little confused.

He couldn't tell why he was confused, but he knew that since the werewolf was the dumb brother.The mute naturally thinks that he is a "person" and a relative.Qianqing suddenly felt as if he had become a murderer once, and Ya'er was the guardian who guarded his relatives and the opponent of the murderer.

His thoughts were a little confused, and some things still couldn't be solved, and the clues were inextricably unclear.

Xiangquan glanced at him, and continued: "Actually, it's basically clear now. If I'm not mistaken, dumb, they are a pair of twin sisters. They have been taking care of this non-human, non-beast brother for a long time. ’, and, in turn.”

Qian Qing asked in surprise, "Take turns?"

"One person lives with you on the ground, and the other person takes care of your brother underground. The two often take turns. The werewolf needs to be guarded, someone needs to cook, someone needs to clean up, and someone needs to talk to him to restore his sanity," Xiang said. The corner of Quan's mouth curled into a sneer, "But how can it be so easy to recover your sanity? Back then, the rich man sought out many people, but there was no way to recover. Now he is just doing meaningless things."

After Xiangquan finished speaking, he was also silent for a while.Maybe it is too hasty to draw a conclusion like this.

Qian Qing was shocked and said, "In other words, the mute has always been played by two people?"

"Yes. It was the same on the day of the accident. The deceased was attacked by monsters while making broth. I guess both sisters were there. The fighting scene was chaotic. The final result was that two women were killed and one injured, and the werewolf was subdued. Brought back to the Chamber of Secrets."

Qian Qing was simply astonished.

"The two of them actually subdued that grown man! He is so strong, and so powerful!"

Xiang Quan said seriously: "But they lost the life of one of them. That's why Mute's wounds are strange. Biting and trampling, causing neck injuries and dislocated arms. If werewolves are really so easy to deal with, why should I do this Be cautious? Clearly, you overlooked one point. You once told me that the wolf cub of Mushu was also in the house at that time. It is estimated that the dumb son wanted to make broth for 'brother', so he brought it in by the way, and gave some meat to eat .According to what you said later, Mushu was covered in wounds and almost died. Feng Jiuniang suspected that it attacked Mute and killed him."

Ganqing suddenly understood, and his eyes widened: "This point about Mushu is completely wrong, and it's just turning black and white. It was injured not because it took the initiative to attack and was resisted by Mute, but because——"

"Because it protects the mute. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for the two women to defeat the werewolf. Moreover, they are merciful. It is estimated that seeing the 'big brother' attacking someone, they are both frightened and stupid, and do not know how to fight back."

This thing was subversive from start to finish.One is a brother who has a human body but no human body, and the other is a wolf who has a human body but no human body.The former was guarded for several years, while the latter was wronged to death.

Qian Qing froze for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Xiang Quan shook his head and sighed: "Listen, when you were about to enter the door, the dead body blocked the door. It is estimated that the werewolf was hit on the back of the head by the mute sister with a latch or a pot, and that's why he fainted. This It doesn't depend on the strength, but on the location of the blow. As long as the location is accurate, people will faint regardless of the strength. And Mushu, I guess, is the most aggressive. Maybe the werewolf thinks that Mushu is the same kind, but the mute is a different kind. "

Ganqing broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this: "I just realized that the dead mute was attacked by a werewolf and died...she was killed by her own brother?"

Xiang Quan looked back at the mute who was asleep on the bed, and said, "Yes."

Dry face pale.

"After the fight, one man died, this living mute, dragging the werewolf back to the secret room alone. After a little cleaning of the scene - probably in a hurry, you arrived. In the days after , she was wounded and lived in the secret room watching the werewolf until Shuiyun fell asleep in front of the coffin. She came out and put a coat on Shuiyun. But she didn't want you to come, so she hurriedly hid behind the house, and It was seen by you. This is the so-called 'ghost'. I guess, since then, the ancient house has become a mysterious place, and you have to take a look when you pass by, so she dare not come out rashly."

Gan Qing looked at the mute's sleeping face: "After that, she has been living in the secret room?"

Xiangquan smiled desolately: "What kind of power is family affection? When you went back to get the broth, I found a side hole. She was inside, very weak. I told her the truth, and told her that this monster You can’t just lock it half dead like this, you always have to find a way. But, she won’t listen.”

Xiang Quan said it plainly, but with a trace of regret.

Qian Qing frowned: "So, when I went to look for you again, I found that you were gone, and I heard your voice—"

"I was persuading her, but she didn't listen, and she couldn't refute me. So you can only hear my voice. Then you tripped over the mechanism, and I came out quickly. You were not allowed to shout, but you had to Shout loudly," Xiangquan looked at Qianqing coldly, "what are you shouting about 'burning to death' and 'dosing with poison'? The sound was so loud that the mute heard it, so he let the monster go away excitedly."

Gan Qing was taken aback, and immediately said angrily: "Are you accusing me? I didn't know that monster was her brother!"

Xiangquan said contemptuously: "Anyway, you can't do anything good. After that, I rushed back to the side door and asked her to close the door. Seeing that I couldn't persuade her, I pushed her away—she was too weak, so I didn't want to It was done. But it was too late, the monster ran away, and I was also responsible."

Xiang Quan closed his eyes and folded his hands.

Ganqing paced back and forth in the room, stopped suddenly, and pointed at the dumb son: "Xiangquan, I really don't understand, why would they do this? Two young girls are so willing to do this for a person who is only related by blood. Dear brother, go and protect him for so many years!"

Xiang Quan rested his chin with both hands, squinted at the mute.

"Today's filial piety means being able to raise them. As for dogs and horses, they can raise them. The dumb child was born in the mountains since she was a child, so she naturally doesn't know much about the world, but she knows filial piety, the kindness of her parents, and the love of brothers and sisters. These principles It's very simple, they're innocent, and if they recognize it, they recognize it. Their father died early, and they probably said something to them before he died, such as finding their brother and protecting him. After death, I actually don't know this. But I think their father should have begged them in this way."

Ganqing laughed twice: "If it were me, I would never listen. Why do you have to look after a useless person in a secret room during such a good time."

"That's you, Xia Qianqing," Xiang Quan rolled his eyes, "Nvwa Empress wouldn't listen to you when she came to beg you. But dumb children are different. Some people are born to value righteousness, parents, and filial piety, and don't understand the ways of the world. Facing the same What about Feng Jiuniang? She can’t take care of Granny Meng, and she has to use extreme methods to get rid of her fate. Which one is more pathetic?"
