Volume 2: Female Corpse in Monk's Clothes Chapter 61 This is your wife
ah……
With a scream, Xu Zun woke up from the nightmare!
call……
call……
He was sweating profusely and gasping for breath, as if the nightmare he had just experienced was real.
He dreamed that the fake Qiu Yongnian opened his sharp claws and strangled his neck, and standing next to him were the real Qiu Yongnian, Mr. Shen, Liu Zhubu, Xiao Qi and others.
These people had a cold and mysterious smile on their faces.
When he turned his gaze back to the fake Qiu Yongnian, he found that the one who was strangling him was not him, but the woman with the branding iron on her head and the long scar on her left cheek...
call……
call……
It is already bright outside the window and the warm sun is high in the sky. It should be another sunny day in winter.
Xu Zun wiped the sweat off his forehead and realized that he was also sleeping on the bed in the bedroom.
ah?
He suddenly remembered something important and looked quickly to the other side of the bed, but saw the woman he had rescued still lying there lifeless.
Xu Zun quickly got out of bed, walked around to the other side, and squatted down to check.
But the woman's eyes were still closed, her face looked peaceful and no breathing could be seen.
Xu Zun quickly checked her breathing and found that it was not much different from last night and was still very weak.
Although he didn't know how to take a pulse, he still pinched the woman's wrist and felt her pulse.
Feeling the strong pulse, he finally felt relieved.
Last night, Xu Zun had been busy for a long time. He fed the woman rice soup, wiped her body with a warm cloth, and finally put a set of ill-fitting clothes on her.
There is no way, the woman has a petite figure and her house is full of men's clothes.
I couldn’t see it clearly last night in the dark, but now when I look at it again, I feel that this woman is so real.
She was indeed very young, probably no more than 20 years old, and if she hadn't suffered this disaster, she would have been a pretty girl.
"Girl, wake up... wake up..."
After getting closer, Xu Zun gently pushed her.
However, the woman did not respond and showed no sign of waking up.
Tsk tsk…
Seeing the woman unconscious, Xu Zun smacked his lips repeatedly.
After the last fake Qiu Yongnian incident, he became more cautious. After all, this woman was tied up with four chains. Could she be... also an extremely dangerous person?
Although she looks petite, doesn't she know any unique martial arts?
If she was really an ordinary woman, why wouldn't Mr. Shen just set up a prison-like cage? Why would he use chains?
But then again, this woman had suffered from cold and hunger for many days, and had been imprisoned underground for such a long time. Even if she really knew martial arts, could she still be his opponent?
Besides, seeing this woman's fair skin, she looks more like a lady from a wealthy and noble family, right?
well……
Seeing that the woman had not woken up, Xu Zun had no choice but to stand up.
When I looked up, I saw holes in the wall of my house and it was a mess.
The house was searched by Cai Kun and others a few days ago, and the things have not been put back yet. It looks like the house has been ransacked.
Moreover, the most important thing now is how should I place this woman?
If someone came and found a woman covered in wounds in his house, there would be no way to explain it.
If this news were to reach the ears of Cai Kun and others, I'm afraid a disaster would befall them.
But if we put her back in the cellar, if no one is looking after her, her life might still be in danger.
But I have to go to the Shen Mansion to keep vigil today and cannot stay at home for a long time. What should I do?
Or... call Zhao Yu over?
no!
Xu Zun denied it immediately. It wasn't that he didn't trust Zhao Yu, but that he didn't trust him very much.
This person may seem carefree, but in fact he has many suspicious points and you must never get too close to him.
Fire Anu?
At this point, Huo Anu is the only person Xu Zun can trust.
However, Huo Anu, like herself, had great respect for Mr. Shen, and it was impossible for her not to keep vigil in front of the hall.
Calling her here at this time would surely arouse suspicion.
So……
After thinking for a long time, Xu Zun finally thought of a suitable candidate.
So he immediately went outside and used a few copper coins to call the vendors nearby, asking them to help call someone...
About half an hour later, the "good citizen" Liu Dong ran madly into Xu's house. In such a cold winter, he was sweating all over.
"Xu... County Lieutenant Xu? Did you call me?" Liu Dong shouted excitedly as he entered the room. "I heard that you want me to be your housekeeper? Is that true?"
"Yes!" Xu Zun said loudly, "Liu Dong, you have done a great service to me this time, so I want to hire you as my housekeeper. Are you willing?"
"With pleasure, with pleasure!" Liu Dong knelt down in front of Xu Zun, "I couldn't ask for more, couldn't ask for more!"
"Haha..." Xu Zun smiled and helped him up, and then said, "Liu Dong, my house is in such a mess now, what do you think we should do to clean it up?"
"Don't worry, sir, don't worry!" Liu Dong promised, "Give me some time, I promise to clean it up neatly. This is our duty as a housekeeper, haha..."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Xu Zun gestured to the door with his eyes.
Liu Dong was indeed smart. He quickly turned around and closed the door of Xu's house, and smiled smugly at the people setting up stalls outside the door...
The door closed and he followed Xu Zun into the bedroom. When Liu Dong saw that there was a person lying on Xu Zun's bed, he was very surprised.
"My Lord...who is this?"
"Come," Xu Zun pulled Liu Dong in front of the woman and said seriously, "Let me introduce you. This is your wife. Her name... um... How about I give her a name?!"
"..." Liu Dong instantly became a mess and smoke appeared on his face.
"Her life is quite bitter," Xu Zun said earnestly, "Why not just call her Ku Niang? What do you think?"
"Sir..." Liu Dong pointed at the bed and asked, "Is this a woman?"
I do!
Xu Zun almost fell down, and quickly gave a thumbs up and praised: "Nima blind!"
"Sir, sir... this..." Liu Dong was so confused that he quickly explained, "Xiwa's mother is still alive! Although I don't know which Yihongyuan she went to, what if she comes back one day?"
Xu Zun wanted to curse, but suddenly he thought of something and clapped his hands and said:
"Great!" He pointed at the woman on the bed, "She is your wife who ran away from home, Xiwa's biological mother! Because she got leprosy, she came back to find you, and you took her in! Do you understand?"
“……” No matter how smart Liu Dong is, he is still confused.
"By the way," Xu Zun asked again, "What was your original wife's name? Or should we keep her original name?"
"I... I don't know! Xiwa's mother, was she called Xiaoqian? Xiaolian? Or Xiaoling... Hey?" Liu Dong recalled seriously, "What was her name?"
"Okay!" Xu Zun wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, "Then I'll just call you bitter mother..."
…
At 9:00 am, at Shen's Mansion.
Xu Zun settled everything at home and hurried back to the Shen Mansion.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a row of soldiers in armor in front of the mourning shed!
These soldiers all looked at him with strange eyes.
oh?
Xu Zun didn't know what was going on and wanted to go into the mourning shed to ask.
Unexpectedly, two men with aggressive looks suddenly rushed out of the mourning shed and stopped Xu Zun. One of them was tall and in a battle robe, pointing at Xu Zun's nose and cursing:
"Xu Tanzi! How dare you come to the Shen residence? You are such a disaster star, you are not worthy of guarding my father's body!"
"Yes, you are not welcome here," another man in a scarlet official uniform also shouted at Xu Zun in a bossy manner, "Get out of here right now..."
