Chapter 37 (1/2)
The rain fell on the muddy ground, and the air was moist and smelly all around.
Su Muge followed the driver's eyes and saw a white swollen body lying under the wheel of their carriage!
Su Muge put on coir raincoat and jumped out of the carriage. ”Let the carriage go back.”
The coachman shook his hands and managed to pull the carriage back.
When the carriage moved, the body of the harness was exposed to the sky.
Su Muge took out the sheepskin gloves for medicine and put them on, turning the front of the body over.
As can be seen from the body's mottling and swelling, the body has been dead for at least five days.
”Yes, it's Hu, old Hu, old Hu!” The coachman shrank in the car seat. At this time, he would not even think about why a lady in the boudoir could calm down when she saw the corpse. Instead, she looked at the corpse's white face trembling after su Muge turned it over.
”You know him?” Su Muge looking at the coachman?
The driver nodded. ”Eldest lady, he is also the coachman of Su Fu. I went to Zhou county with my master not long ago.”
Su Muge frowned. ”You mean that he left the Su mansion with the master?”
”Yes, yes.”
Su Muge looked at the body. The dead man's fatal injury was in his heart. The other side's move was fatal. He was stabbed into his heart and died. There was no obvious trace left by the fight.
In other words, the person who gives the shot is likely to be an expert, so fast that there is no room for resistance.
”You wait here. I'll go around and see what the clues are.”
Su Muge went around to check the situation, but because of the rain these days, almost all traces were destroyed.
When walking back to the carriage, Su Muge looked at the dead body on the ground with heavy eyes.
”Big miss, I, let's go back. Go back.”
”You drive back to find someone to restrain the body and trace it all the way down. It is likely that my father was robbed. I will go to Zhou county myself.”
The coachman listened and looked at Su Muge in surprise.
”Big, big miss wants to go alone...”
”Well.”
Su Muge went to the carriage and drew out a dagger to cut the reins of a horse.
”Then, the lady on the way.”
Su Muge responded, pulled the body aside and covered it with branches, then jumped on the carriage and shook the whip and walked away.
The coachman turned over and rode back. If he was fast, he would return to Shunyang mansion before dark.
Su Muge walked along the official road with his carriage. The closer he was to Zhou county, the more difficult it was to walk. In many places, there were traces of being submerged.
It's getting dark. Su Muge can't see the way ahead at all. He can only camp out tonight. Fortunately, the rain is getting light.
Before dark, she found a space to tie up the carriage and sat on it.
Take out an oil lamp from the small drawer in the carriage and light it up. Su Muge takes out the dry food from the package and eats it with water.
Her visit to Zhou county is mainly to find out the situation, provide disaster relief, and look for Su Lun's whereabouts.
Whether Suellen is really gone or not, he must appear at this juncture!
”Huhu” sound hair dryer curtain, around the quiet only the sound of the rain and Su Muge chewing swallowing sound.
”Knowing the rope”
Su Muge took the kettle, took out the cloth towel to cover his face, pulled out the dagger on his leg, and leaned on the edge of the car wall vigilantly to listen to the movement outside.
The voice of ”Xi Xi Xi Suo” is off and on. It's hard to notice if Su Muge's hearing is sensitive.
In a moment, the voice is getting closer and closer. Su Muge's hand is tightening gradually.
As soon as the strong wind blows, Su Muge suddenly lifts the driving curtain and jumps out of the carriage. The dagger in his hand flashes a cold cold cold in the dark and stabs at the sound source quickly.
”Ah!” A young exclamation sounded, and the dagger on Su Mu's singer suddenly stopped. In the weak light, she could see that the child who was caught by her was only six or seven years old.
At this time, the child was looking at her with frightened eyes and trembling slightly.
”Tonger!”
The shrill cry rang out behind her. Su Muge's body suddenly let go of the child and avoided the attack. ”Ah!”
After a short exclamation, something fell to the ground heavily.
Su Muge stood still and looked back. What fell on the ground was an old woman who was over half a hundred years old.
Su Muge's eyebrows slightly twisted.
”Grandma, grandma, are you ok?” The little boy got up from the ground and went to help the old woman on the ground.
The old mother-in-law was obviously thrown, and it took a long time for her to be lifted up and sit on the ground.
”Who are you?”
”I, we escaped from Zhouxian......” The little boy looked at Su Muge warily.
Su Muge raised his eyebrows slightly. ”You are from Zhou county?”
”Yes, young master, please help us. Our grandparents and grandchildren haven't eaten for several days. We escaped all the way without even seeing a person. I just saw your carriage and wanted to come here to beg for food.” My wife and grandma gasped and spoke weakly. Looking at Su Muge, they all begged.”Only you two?”
The little boy nodded. ”Yes, people in the village have been able to run for a long time, some of them have been washed away by the flood...”
Su Muge saw that they were not faking. When he was about to put away his dagger and help others, he suddenly stopped to look at the woods behind them.
”Don't move here!”
Su Muge clenched the dagger in his hand and was on full alert when the murderous spirit in the forest suddenly disappeared.
Su Muge confirmed again and again before he took a breath to put away the dagger.
She went up to help her grandparents and grandchildren up. ”I don't know when the rain will stop. You can rest in the carriage with me tonight.”
When they heard this, they both kowtowed and thanked Su Muge.
