Water Margin: My 108 Heroes Come from All Heavens
Chapter 34 Baohe Hall, Unidentified Male Corpse!
……
One hour later.
Lin Daiyu strolled through three more streets.
From ink and brush shops to rouge shops, from pastry shops to porcelain shops, I saw all sorts of strange and unusual things, but I still came away empty-handed, without buying a single thing.
And Liangshan...
I was so tired I could barely lift my legs. My eyes were unfocused, and my mind was filled with thoughts like "Who am I?", "Where am I?", and "What am I supposed to do?"
"Damn system, I've almost explored all of Kaifeng, where is Tian Gu Xing?!"
His face darkened.
I mentally cursed the system's manufacturer one hundred and eight times.
坑。
This is outrageous.
Ten miles?
You call this ten miles?!
I've explored most of Kaifeng, but I haven't received a single notification that the Lone Star is nearby.
Whose system is as useless as mine?
It has the audacity to claim that it ranks among the top three of all systems.
A master of the Celestial Realm is elusive and can cover ten miles in an instant; you might have missed him.
The system, which had been feigning death, finally responded.
"???"
Upon hearing this, Liang Shan's face turned extremely grim.
What the hell is the point of playing this game?
With a single teleport, they escaped from my detection range.
He walks on his own two legs.
You can't even catch the other party's exhaust fumes.
When will we finally find the Lone Star?
With perseverance, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle.
"You should just pretend to be dead."
Liangshan had given up on communicating with the system and decisively chose to remain silent.
"County Commandant Lin, if you are tired, we can find a place to rest up ahead."
Lin Daiyu, who was ahead, noticed Liang Shan's exhausted appearance, and a hint of apology flashed in her eyes. She took the initiative to speak.
"Take a break!"
Liang Shan nodded quickly: "We must rest!"
He looked up.
Not far away, there was a pharmacy with a signboard above the door that read "Baohetang" in large characters.
There were two waiters at the entrance greeting customers.
It looks quite peaceful.
"Let's rest for a bit in front of that pharmacy and ask the clerk to pour us a bowl of water."
Liang Shan pointed to the pharmacy.
Just as he was about to take a step, he suddenly stopped.
"Baohetang?"
He squinted, feeling that the three words looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Daiyu saw him stop and glanced back at him.
"It's nothing, I just think this name... is kind of interesting."
Liang Shan shook his head.
Dragging his leaden legs, he followed Lin Daiyu into the pharmacy.
The two men at the door saw that a guest had arrived.
They hurried over to greet them.
With a forced smile, he asked, "Gentlemen, are you here to pick up medicine or for a medical consultation?"
"They neither get medicine nor see a doctor."
Liang Shan plopped down on the threshold, panting heavily, and said, "We'll just rest for a bit. Could you please pour us a bowl of water?"
The men exchanged a glance.
He looked troubled.
One of the younger men rubbed his hands together and said with a forced smile, "Sir, I'm really sorry, our shop is a bit inconvenient today. Why don't you and your companions sit at the tea stall next door?"
"inconvenient?"
Liang Shan was somewhat disappointed.
Just as he was about to turn and leave.
I happened to glance at the doctor sitting in the pharmacy and realized that he was the old man with the goatee who had treated Xiaoqiang yesterday.
"It's you?!"
Liang Shan's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected to run into an acquaintance here.
The old man with the goatee recognized Liang Shan and quickly stood up, bowing respectfully: "Lord Liang, what brings you here?"
"Let's take a break while we're passing by."
Liang Shan waved his hand and glanced around the pharmacy.
This Baohetang is quite spacious.
There are two rows of medicine cabinets on the left and right, and a long table in the middle with a pulse pillow, writing brush and inkstone on it. A plaque with the words "Hanging a gourd to save the world" hangs on the wall, making it look quite impressive.
only……
"Doctor, your shop is quiet today."
Liang Shan said casually.
The other person's expression changed slightly, and he smiled faintly, "Today... there were some things to do at the shop today, so we're not open for business."
"What is it?"
Liang Shan pressed for an answer.
"It's...it's..."
The other person stammered, sweat beading on their forehead.
At that very moment.
A muffled sob came from the back room, intermittent, like someone sobbing softly.
Liang Shan frowned.
The men's faces grew even uglier; they all lowered their heads, their eyes darting around nervously.
"What happened in the back room?"
Liang Shan stood up and walked towards the back hall.
"Lord Liang! Lord Liang, please wait!"
The goatee-bearded doctor quickly stopped him, his voice trembling slightly: "There's really nothing in the back room, it's just... my wife is crying. It's a woman's matter, you shouldn't be watching!"
"Your wife?"
Liang Shan stared at him: "You just said you had something to do today, so you weren't open for business. Now you're saying your wife is crying. What happened?"
"No...it's nothing serious..."
Sweat rolled down the other person's forehead.
"Why are you stopping me if it's nothing serious?"
Liang Shan sneered, shoved the other person aside, lifted the curtain, and went inside.
This is a small interior room.
The furnishings were simple: a table, a few chairs, and a row of medicine cabinets against the wall.
but……
But there was a person lying on the ground.
He was covered with a white sheet, and a ring of dark red blood seeped from the edge of the sheet.
Two women knelt beside the corpse.
She was dressed in a white dress, with cascading black hair and an exquisitely beautiful profile that seemed unreal. Her profile was soft and graceful, and when she cried, her shoulders trembled, making her look incredibly pitiful.
The other one, dressed in a blue skirt and looking younger, with her hair in two buns, cried even louder, pounding the ground as she sobbed and muttering things like, "Brother-in-law, how could you just die like that?"
"Who goes there?!"
The woman in the green dress raised her head, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, glaring at Liang Shan.
The woman in the white dress also looked up, her eyes blurry with tears.
Liang Shan was stunned when he saw her face clearly.
It wasn't because I was scared.
Instead, they were amazed.
The woman's skin was like jade, her eyebrows like distant mountains, and her eyes, full of affection, were now brimming with tears. The tip of her nose was slightly red, and her lips were a little pale from crying, yet she was still incredibly beautiful.
Who are you?
The woman in the blue dress stood up.
Standing in front of the woman in the white dress, he warily stared at Liang Shan. "Who let you in? Get out!"
"I am the Judicial Assistant of the Court of Judicial Review."
Liang Shan flashed his identification badge, his expression turning serious. Pointing to the corpse on the ground, he asked, "Who is this person? How did he die? Why didn't you report it to the authorities?"
The woman in the green dress's expression changed slightly.
He opened his mouth.
Speechless for a moment.
The woman in the white dress wiped away her tears, stood up, and gave a slight curtsy: "This humble woman greets Your Excellency."
"This is my husband, and also the manager of Baohetang."
"Unfortunately, he passed away today..."
Speaking of it.
She choked up again, crying so hard her eyes were streaked with tears, a sight that evoked pity in me.
Are they demons?
Liang Shan observed the two of them discreetly, then walked to Lin Daiyu's side and asked in a low voice.
"There's no trace of demonic energy about him; he must be human."
Lin Daiyu frowned slightly, her gaze fixed on the woman in the white dress.
have to say.
The other woman was so beautiful that even she, a woman herself, was somewhat tempted.
No wonder Liangshan suspected that the other party was not human.
