23、【10】(1/2)
Meng Jinsong came to her to talk about this.
Last night, shortly after falling asleep, he received a call from Lao Ga, saying that Jiang Lian saved a woman from the back mountain. The woman was attacked by a mysterious person and was besieged by Ma Biaozi. She was seriously injured and needed professional treatment.
Because it was too late and it was inconvenient to disturb Meng Qianzi, Meng Jinsong made his own arrangements: he sent a car to Bahanzhai to pick up people, and then transferred a few medical backgrounds from the other end of Guishanzhu, brought necessary equipment to him and temporarily set up a medical room in Yunmeng Peak. After the injured were sent, he was very busy and he was almost busy. It was already this time.
Meng Qianzi's heart moved: "Do you suspect that mysterious person, is it related to Liu Sheng's affairs?"
Meng Jinsong nodded, otherwise he would not have been so concerned: Liu Sheng was killed and the murderer ran away from the back mountain, and after that, the woman was injured by a mysterious person in the back mountain - this kind of thing is too far-fetched to say it is a coincidence.
"How was that woman hurt?"
"It's covered in blood and looks scary, but the doctor said it's okay. I woke up after sewing the needle and taking the medicine, and now I'm sleeping again," said Meng Jinsong, "When the woman woke up, I asked in person, and she said she saw the man's appearance."
The good news came a little too suddenly. Meng Qianzi was not surprised, but was suspicious: "Have you sent someone to check the place where the woman was discovered?"
No, Meng Jinsong pointed out the window: "It's useless to go. It rained heavily in the second half of last night. Whether it was blood or traces, the reference value of this erosion is not high."
"Is Ma Biaozi the kind of beast that even tigers are afraid of in the legend?"
"yes."
"Ma Biaozi has almost disappeared in recent years and cannot easily leave the cave. How could it appear so close to the village? Moreover, such beasts rarely attack people."
Meng Jinsong spread his hands and said that he could not answer: He is not an expert in studying Ma Biaozi, so how could he understand its thoughts?
"Also, if that mysterious man is really the murderer, can Liu Sheng be defeated with one knife? When he comes to her, he is just a minor injury of 'no serious'? He also encountered Ma Biaozi, who was used to suck his intestines and eat his internal organs. Are you so polite to her?"
Meng Jinsong had long expected that she would have this question: "We are lucky, so it's certainly not possible to change to an ordinary woman... But this woman was also at your banquet yesterday, named Bai Shuixiao, and she is a girl with a fallen flower cave."
Meng Qianzi didn't say anything for a while, and then murmured: "No wonder."
***
The girl of the fallen flower cave is as famous as the poison and the corpse driving away, and is also known as the "Three Evils in Xixi".
In the west of Xiang, there is a saying that "nine mountains, half water, half divided fields", which shows that there are many mountains, many caves, and the ethnic minorities living in the area have had deep-rooted concepts of gods and monsters since ancient times, believing that all things have spirits and everything is not surprising: since there are tree gods and flower gods, there will naturally be cave gods.
Those young and beautiful unmarried women cannot approach the cave at will. The beautiful bride gets married. When the sedan chair passes through the entrance of the cave, they must not set off firecrackers. If they alarm the cave god and are attracted by him, they will be crazy and stupid, and in a trance-like manner, that is, "falling into the cave."
When encountering this situation, the parents are naturally anxious and will ask Miao Laosi to go to the cave to "kill the soul", but most of them cannot shout back. Who dares to disobey God's will?
No man dares to marry a woman who is favored by the cave god. Of course, since this woman can marry a god, she naturally looks down on ordinary people and is determined to wait for the cave god to come and marry her.
It is said that after the fallen flower cave girl falls into the cave, she will become more introverted and quiet, love to clean, and love to dress herself up. Her temperament is getting better and clearer, her eyes are clearer, her face is often filled with a gentle smile, and her body exudes a strange fragrance. She feels that she is immersed in the happiness of falling in love with the cave god, and she doesn't want to look at other men. After the fallen flower cave girl falls into the cave, she will die at most three or five years, but this is not "death", but she is married to the cave god. Parents cannot be sad, but should happily put a generous dowry and burn it at the cave to wish the two a happy marriage.
Chen Congwen wrote about the woman who fell into a cave in the book, saying that "Women in western Hunan are prone to produce guwomen among the three stages of age, witches and guwomen - those who are poor and old are prone to become guwomen; those who are around 30 are prone to become witches; those who are sixteen to twenty-two to twenty-three years old, who are beautiful and those who are introverted but whose marriage is not successful, are prone to fall into a cave to death." He also analyzed that guwomen are actually a social tragedy in which women in the old era were extremely sexually suppressed. Those crazy women have a depressed love and depression in their hearts, and can only use the name of being favored by the cave god to break free from the shackles of reality by death.
More people believe that the girl from the fallen flower is a superstition in western Hunan, similar to the ancient times when using boys and girls to worship the river gods - sacrificing those poor mountain women to pay tribute to the imagined cave gods.
The truth is, outsiders have no way to know. Meng Qianzi often goes in and out of the caves in the mountains and caves, but he has never seen any cave god favored him. Maybe the cave god is only entrenched in western Hunan, or maybe her appearance is not liked by the cave god.
Meng Qianzi came out of the God of God and then remembered Jiang Lian again: "That Jiang Lian..."
"He came with the car and said he was worried about his friend and wanted to go to prison. I couldn't make a decision privately and came over to ask for your opinion." Meng Jinsong considered her expression, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Bai Shuixiao's matter is thanks to him..."
This tone was as stingy as if she would be. Meng Qianzi snorted coldly: "See, let him see me, reward merits and punishments, and I can tell you one by one."
He paused, and did not forget to boast about himself: "If I hadn't put pressure on him, could he work so hard?"
It's a bit too domineering, but there are some people in this world who are like donkeys and cannot be moved without squeezing.
***
Kuang Meiying and Wei Biao live in the same room, which is said to be what they ask for, so that they can take care of each other: modern men and women are familiar with each other since childhood, and are not so rigid. One sleeps on a bed and the other has a floor.
Kuang Meiying was in good spirits, but Wei Biao was depressed. Before entering the house, Liu Guanguo greeted Jiang Lian: After Wei Biao woke up last night, he roared and screamed. He was so upset that he gave him some medicine.
Jiang Lian was not angry at all: It would be better to let Wei Biao suffer a little, so that he would know that when he was controlled by others, it would be useless if Kong Wu was strong or roared. The tiger roared and the valley wind was limp, and the clouds in all directions were everywhere, so what? He was caught by the hunter?
He smiled and sat down on the chair opposite the sofa.
Wei Biao tilted on the sofa, his face turned pale and his domineering aura was still quite strong: "Who is this group of people? What does it mean to get people here?"
Jiang Lian glanced at the door: The door was open, and there were two people standing outside to monitor, but at this distance, if you whisper, you shouldn't be able to hear it in a low voice.
He said: "You care about it, the mountain underworld, you see, I beat me up, but fortunately, I made it clear when a misunderstanding."
Wei Biao raised his eyelids: "Is that possible to leave?"
Jiang Lianxiao: "Why do you always want to leave? Isn't this good? The scenery is pleasant, there is food, drink and accommodation, so you can just take a vacation. If you think it's crowded, you'll need a room again, no money anyway."
He asked Kuang Meiying again: "Did you eat well?"
Kuang Meiying nodded: "They are quite polite and will order you with a order."
Jiang Lian nodded and gave guidance: "Pick up the expensive ones."
Kuang Meiying wanted to laugh, but couldn't laugh: "Where are you, are you okay?"
Jiang Lian said: "What can I do? I just help them run..."
Wei Biao snorted coldly like a squirting nose of the bull. Jiang Lian sighed a little: He hummed so strongly, Liu Guanguo's medicine was still too restrained.
He looked around at the room: "You are very good here, and the accommodation is much better than Lao Ga's. The broken water heater is always unavailable... It's safe. I see that there are more than thirty guards upstairs and downstairs, so Brother Biao, since he comes, he will be at peace, and it's not too late to leave after two days."
Wei Biao sneered again, most likely not convinced. Jiang Lian ordered Kuang Meiying: "Look at him more."
Kuang Meiying nodded, looked out the door, suddenly approached him, lowered her voice, and said quickly and anxiously: "Jiang Lian, tell me the truth. If they ask you to do things, do you honestly? Are you going to secretly do something bad?"
Jiang Lian looked up at her: "Who said that? Since Master Gan taught me that people don't do secret things, I have done bad things in person."
Kuang Meiying stomped her feet anxiously: "I'm serious!"
This person is just not serious and no matter how angry he is, he always says "It's okay" or "It's good". When he asks again, he smiles lazyly, with the kind of badness that makes her angry. Kuang Meiying doesn't like him at all, which makes her never feel the bottom, and Wei Biao makes people feel at ease.
Jiang Lian still laughed, but his attitude finally became more decent: "Meiying, I ask you, if a person breaks a bead without any concern, what does this mean?"
"It means that this bead is of no value to her."
"What else?"
"Also, the beads are not good, which makes her annoyed. She doesn't like it. She has a bad temper. She uses the beads to vent her anger, and..."
Kuang Meiying couldn't think of anything more for a while.
Wei Biao said in a muffled voice: "We are rich, willful, and have many beads! People with a pot of beads don't care about breaking ten or eight."
Jiang Lian murmured, "I think so too."
He didn't know whether the Mirage Pearl is worth it or not, but if it were only one in the world, no matter how violent a person had, he wouldn't be able to destroy it if he said it was ruined, right? What's more, after Liu Sheng was killed, he could hear his self-dispute from beginning to end, Meng Qianzi's temper would be much more violent.
The mountain ghost calls the lantern painting "mountain mirage". It has professional tools to "fish mirage beads", but it can be easily destroyed after being caught...
This may mean that the mountain ghost still has more than one mirage bead in his hand, and he happens to need it urgently.
It seems unreliable to use Lao Ga's power to exaggerate the mountain ghost, steal and rob, and it seems that it is necessary to establish a good relationship with Meng Qianzi.
Just let him do things, take the initiative, be active, cooperate, and perform. If he doesn’t have a strong friendship, how can he be embarrassed to borrow it?

Meng Qianzi took Meng Jinsong and Xin to the infirmary and went down to the second floor to meet Jiang Lian.
Jiang Lian was a little surprised and soon laughed again. He raised his hand politely to say hello to her: "It's so good, Meng..."
Meng Qianzi seemed to have not seen it. Hard Bangbang walked past him, and the two behind naturally would not stop. Jiang Lian felt like a small whirlwind passed by. The corners of his eyes that were next to her were slightly squinting by the bitterness.
However, he waved his hand to the air in front of him, and closed his head slightly to greet him, just as Meng Qianzi politely gave him a greeting.
Meng Jinsong had long been accustomed to Meng Qianzi's style, but Xin Ci was a little embarrassed and forgot the pain he had on the head the night before: "Qianzi, will you seem rude to do this?"
polite?
Meng Qianzi held the corner of her mouth: "Have I ever been friendly to him?"
Xin Ci answered truthfully: "No."
"Will it be a knot? Being nice to others is mutual. I'm not good to him. The swelling on his face has not yet subsided. Why are you rushing to show kindness? You have to show your kindness if you have nothing to do, either you are a traitor or a thief."
Xin Ci wanted to say that maybe they were generous, but they swallowed it back: they supported the rewards of Qianzi and spoke to an outsider, and their position was too unclear.
...
The infirmary was at the end of the first floor, and the smell of medicine was strong. There were two patrolers in the corridor. When Meng Qianzi came over, they all stood down and stood still. After she passed, they continued again. Although they did not whisper, their expressions were rich and they could not help but deliver their eyes. They thought that they were savoring her in the silent place.
The door is open, and the unrelated decorations inside have been emptied, replaced by various medical equipment. Although the sparrow is small, it is complete with all internal organs. It is estimated that the ENT and nose and throat internal and surgical departments are squeezed together. In addition to Bai Shuixiao's lying on the hospital bed, there is another mobile operating table - it is prepared overnight. In addition to the magical power of money, the wise and capable people in Guishanzhu can also be seen.
The nursing doctor in the house quickly met the door: "I haven't woken up yet, I'm now infusion to prevent infection."
Meng Qianzi looked at Bai Shuixiao who was lying on the bed: "I heard that I woke up once, how was the situation at that time?"
"It's especially weak, weak in speaking, and it's difficult to move."
Meng Jinsong whispered: "It's fine to be able to speak. She has seen the mysterious man's face. When she wakes up, I want to arrange for a portrait."
Crime portrait? This seems to be a technical job, Meng Qianzi frowned slightly: "Do we have such professional people?"
"There are experts in simulated portraits, but they are not local and can be carried out remotely. However, he said that in-person communication is the best. He suggested that we find someone who can draw on the other end and draw it first according to Bai Shuixiao's description. He called professional software to help the other end, and the efficiency would be higher. Jiang Lian and I asked..."
"he?"
Just his line-like ghost-drawing talisman?
Meng Jinsong laughed: "In fact, you can draw very finely with the eyes of the gods, but it must be something he saw with his own eyes. Therefore, he recommended Kuang Meiying and said that the girl has been painting since she was a child and has practiced hundreds of portraits on hand, so it should be no problem."
