In the evening, Butcher Xu looked at the remaining bones and meat on the stall and sighed.His daughter-in-law was sick in bed, and he thought that after selling the meat, he would go back earlier and buy some medicine for his daughter-in-law.

If he has enough time, he can turn a corner and go to the dim sum shop on West Street to buy a Huai Mi Cake.

But for some reason, the business was not good today, only a few pieces of offal were sold, and the rest of the good meat and bones were not bought.

Butcher Xu sighed again, touched his money pocket, and still planned to close the stall and go home early according to the original plan.

After making up his mind, he yelled, and the guy from the butcher stall hurried over to help him close the stall.

The young man is young, but not weak in strength. While cleaning up, he chatted: "Uncle Xu, is Auntie getting better?"

"It's much better, I was able to go to the ground yesterday!" Xu Butcher replied with a smile, and added, "Your aunt told me yesterday that she wanted to invite you to my house for dinner! Take a look, when you are free, go there? "

"Okay!" The man wiped the sweat off his face and smiled nonchalantly, "I'm free anytime, uncle, please set a time!"

Butcher Xu thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "Let's do it today. Later, you can go with me to the West Street to buy some snacks and go back to make your aunt happy. It just so happens that the good meat on our stall is not good. Little, take it home for two yuan, uncle will cook braised pork for you today!"

The buddy smiled and responded with force, working even harder.He is an orphan, and the whole family is not hungry when he is full. To meet a kind-hearted person like Xu Butcher is really a great virtue in his previous life!

Originally, he had agreed with Butcher Xu to take care of food, housing and money, but later Seeing that he was young, Butcher Xu couldn't bear it, so he paid him back three taels of silver every month.

The buddy thought happily, he had saved a small five taels of silver in the past few months, and when he went to the dim sum shop, he could buy a big bag of delicious and digestible dim sum for his aunt!

After finishing packing, the two of them hurried to West Street with a few pieces of meat.

Halfway through, Xu Butcher suddenly slapped his head: "Hey, I forgot, I have to buy medicine for your aunt!"

The waiter hurriedly said: "Then uncle, you can go, I will buy some snacks, and then I will go directly to your house."

"Okay... okay..." Butcher Xu hesitated for a moment, and agreed, "Then you should be careful on the road, and go there as soon as you buy it. It's getting late and the road is not easy to walk."

"Understood!" The man responded casually, and ran away in a hurry.

Xu Butcher stood where he was, smiled, and shook his head helplessly: "This kid..." After finishing speaking, he also hurried towards the pharmacy.

After buying the medicine, Butcher Xu returned home non-stop. Sure enough, he saw his daughter-in-law walking in the yard leaning on the wall. I can't stand still, I'm still walking..."

His daughter-in-law patted him reproachfully, and said angrily: "I lie on the bed every day, and if I lie down again, I will get bedsores, why don't you let me walk around!"

"Let's go, let's go, let's go..." Xu butcher looks big and thick, but in fact he is as careful as a hair, and he is not angry when his wife complains. He helps her to sit down, and trots to the corner to take out a small medicine stove to boil medicine. Wang Hui reported, "Today I asked the boy in the shop to come to our house for dinner, and I didn't have time to tell you in advance."

"Yeah." His wife nodded indifferently, "Damn it, I've been sick for so many days, but it's all up to him to help you."

"Business is not good today, I brought back two pieces of meat, and I'll make a good meal for you later."

Butcher Xu lit up the fire with a smile, "That kid is going to buy you some dim sum. The dim sum shop on West Street is your favorite!"

His daughter-in-law beamed with joy: "Really? Then I'll just wait!"

The husband and wife chatted and laughed, butcher Xu made the medicine and handed it to his wife, watching her drink it up and then rinsed her mouth to get rid of the bitter taste.

At this time, more than half an hour has passed, but the man is still missing.West Street was not far from his home, even if he had to turn a corner to go to the dim sum shop, he should be there by now.

Butcher Xu frowned, thinking that maybe that kid was locked up in the shop without money?

His wife was also worried, so she pushed him and said, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go find it soon?"

"Hey!" Xu Butcher agreed, touched the money bag again, and ran out in a hurry to find someone.

As soon as he ran out of the alleyway, he bumped into a man.Both of them staggered and took a few steps back. Xu Butcher, who was thick-skinned, didn't feel the pain, but the other party was dressed in brocade clothes, so he might not be a son or brother of any family.

Xu Butcher's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly bowed, nodded and bowed his head to apologize: "Yes, I'm sorry! I didn't do it on purpose..."

"It's okay." The young master shook his head, and took two steps back, "Please."

Butcher Xu said hesitantly, seeing that the other party did not pursue the matter, he thanked him again and again, but he was in a hurry to find someone, so he didn't care much, and ran away in a hurry.

After Butcher Xu left, the young man wrinkled his nose, raised his hand and sniffed his cuff, and muttered to himself, "Lard smell... a butcher?" However, the smell was not quite right?

"I didn't take a look at you, so you got lost here?"

Just as he was thinking, another person suddenly appeared behind him, stretched out his hand and pinched his face, "What are you thinking, so engrossed?"

"You said, if you killed someone and didn't want people to find the body, what would you do?" Shen Yan rubbed her cheeks, turned around and leaned against the wall, and asked casually.

Gu Zhuangcheng thought for a while, wondering: "If it's me... there's no way to do it! Yan'er, have you forgotten my identity?"

Shen Yan blinked, suddenly realized.Oh yes, the person in front of him is the leader of the transfer assassination list. He has always been responsible for killing and not burying him. If he really wants to kill someone, it is probably because the other party has offended someone, and someone will naturally collect the body.

"Then you... treat you like an ordinary person!"

"Just... Shentang, bury it in your own yard, if there is a mass grave nearby, just throw it there... something like that?" Gu Zhuangcheng scratched his head and racked his brains to come up with just a few. .

"That's right." Shen Yan rubbed the space between her eyebrows, feeling that she might be thinking too much.No matter how frenzied those people are, they still can't chop up corpses and use them as pork...to sell...

His movements froze, and he didn't know whether he was frightened by his own thought or disgusted.

He knew something was wrong... Shen Yan's face was extremely ugly, it smelled like human blood!

"Smoke?"

"Come with me, I'll tell you on the way!" Shen Yan grabbed Gu Zhuangcheng's arm, pulled him and ran towards the direction Xu Butcher left, "I ran into someone just now—don't interrupt me Finish! That man is a butcher, but besides the smell of lard, he also smells of human blood!"

"Did you smell it right?"

"That's right." Shen Yan looked for the butcher he just bumped into on the street, "Although it's all blood, you know... If it's just pig blood, I won't feel bad."

-

Butcher Xu ran all over West Street, but couldn't find the boy in his shop.The honest-looking man scratched his head and sighed regretfully: "Hey... the meat is all stewed, why is there no one around?"

He turned around a few more times without giving up, and after making sure he didn't find anyone, he sighed and went home, unaware that there were two people behind him.

When he got home, his wife had already prepared the meal and was waiting for them to eat together.He looked up and saw him alone, and couldn't help laughing: "What? Didn't find anyone?"

"No!" Xu Butcher took a few mouthfuls of rice sullenly, "Where can he go?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's a temporary repentance and I don't want to come anymore." His wife didn't care, she opened her mouth to eat more when she came, and they didn't force her if she didn't come.

Butcher Xu muttered a few words, put a piece of meat in his mouth, chewed it twice, and frowned involuntarily: "No, daughter-in-law...why is the meat so sour today? Did you put too much vinegar?"

"How do you put vinegar in braised pork, let me see if you put one in?"

His daughter-in-law stared, turned the direction of the chopsticks, and stuffed the meat into Butcher Xu's mouth again.

Butcher Xu thought about it, too, maybe the meat has gone bad?

He spat out the meat in his mouth, carefully looked at his daughter-in-law's face, and saw that she was not angry because he wasted food, so he smiled honestly and said, "Let's not eat this meat, it's sour."

"Is it very sour?"

"That's not true, but it's better not to eat." Xu Butcher scratched his head, took a few more mouthfuls of rice, and realized something was wrong, "Hey, daughter-in-law, why don't you eat?"

His daughter-in-law smiled slightly, her lips were bright red, as if she had just drank human blood: "I'm waiting for you to eat."

Butcher Xu was taken aback, for some reason, a layer of white sweat appeared on his back.He swallowed his saliva, and murmured: "Oh, oh..."

His daughter-in-law watched him with a gentle smile, watching him eat the rice in the bowl bit by bit.

If it were another day, Xu Butcher had already served his third bowl of rice, but he had an inexplicable feeling that if he finished this bowl of rice, something bad would happen.This made him dare not gobble up any more, so he could only chew grain by grain.

Fortunately, his wife didn't seem to care about his behavior, she just looked at him with a smile, her eyes were gentle, as if she was looking at a disobedient child.

Sure enough, Butcher Xu ate more and more slowly, and when he ate half of it, his wife sighed.

Xu Butcher's heart suddenly rose, and he forced a smile: "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law? I haven't finished eating yet..."

"Well, I know." The woman who looked like his wife frowned in distress, "But you eat too slowly, you were not like this before... Is it because my cooking is not delicious?"

"W-how could it be!" Xu Butcher was trembling all over, but he still tried to force a smile, "Didn't I... the doctor said that eating slowly is the only way to be healthy? I... I will listen to the doctor!"

"Then you didn't listen to it before." The woman bent her eyes and smiled, "Forget it, if you don't want to eat, then don't eat it... Anyway... it's almost the same."

almost?What about?Almost anything?

Butcher Xu froze, and found that he was still fixed and could not move.He raised his head in fear, and watched helplessly as the woman with the face of his wife slowly changed into another appearance - she was like a female ghost who was looking for her life, but she was so beautiful that people would willingly give their lives with both hands!
