Dressed as the sister of the runaway heroine

Chapter 7 The Death of Du Shi
A gust of wind blows, bringing the unique coolness of the river.

Gu Heng said with a smile: "Of course it's true, seeing is believing. If your father doesn't want you in the capital, you should report to the official. It's only natural for parents to raise their children."

Gu Heng just said casually, but Xiaodouzi remembered this in his heart.

Gu Heng continued to ask: "What's your father's name?"

Xiaodouzi said, "My father's name is Chen Shimei."

When Gu Heng heard this, he was almost choked to death by his own saliva. Chen Shimei, this name really makes people feel a little scared...

Xiaodouzi yawned, looking extremely sleepy, children are like this, they can go to sleep with peace of mind when they understand the things they can't understand in their minds.

"Are you sleepy? I'll take you to sleep in the cabin. It's so cold outside."

Gu Heng pulled up Xiaodouzi's fleshy hand and returned to the cabin.

At this time, Mrs. Chen also came back from the latrine, and the three of them went back to the cabin together.

The place where they lived was the lowest cabin, and they had to walk a long way, with sleeping coolies and low-class people on both sides, and the smell and sound were indescribable.

When they finally reached the place, they found that the door of their cabin was open, and there was a strong smell of blood coming from inside.

Gu Heng opened his eyes wide and screamed defenselessly.

Perhaps it was her movement that woke her up, and many people came out to curse.

I don't know that person lit a candle to illuminate Dushi lying on the bed with blood on his neck.

Du's blood flowed all over the floor, his eyes were wide open, and he could see that he was dying. He was holding some scattered Miao silver in his hand, and the cloth bag that contained things was also scattered. He must have been murdered by someone for money. When Xiaodouzi saw this scene, he burst into tears immediately.

There was a murder case in the lower cabin, so naturally not many people could fall asleep. The boss of the boat came in with a group of thugs from the boat, and first carried the corpse out.

The boss of the boat looked at the terrified Gu Heng, and asked impatiently: "What relationship do you have with this woman? Has she ever made any enemies?"

Gu Heng shook his head, how could she know.

"She is from Yunnan who went to Beijing to find her husband, and we are getting to know each other today."

The boss of the boat took a closer look and suddenly remembered.

"I remembered, it was the one who brought this little oil bottle. It's really pitiful. In this unintentional land, even if you die, the government will not care. You can just throw it into the river, or you can go ashore and find a place to bury it tomorrow." gone."

At this moment, Mrs. Chen looked at Gu Heng and said, "Why did she die? How did she die in the time it took to go to the latrine..."

Among the boat boss's thugs were a few who knew how to punch and kick, and one of them said: "The wound on this woman's neck, if she hadn't been a Lianjiazi for three or five years, she wouldn't be so beautiful. She should have offended people in the world. gone."

Xiaodouzi cried out of breath.

After making a fuss in the middle of the night, Du Shi's body was carried to the deck, and the three of them had to sleep in the dead man's cabin for the whole night.

This is the poor, even if people die around them, even if rat feces are spilled in the bowl, they still have to hold their noses and sleep and eat.

The person who cried for Xiaodouzi passed out.

Gu Heng was consoling at first, but the more he got to the back, the more speechless he became.

Mrs. Chen said to Gu Heng: "You said that Mrs. Du looks soft and weak, and she doesn't seem to have offended anyone."

Gu Heng said: "We just met this mother and son by chance, how do we know their details, mother, what should we do tomorrow, how should Xiaodouzi be disposed of, and how should Du Shi's body be disposed of?"

Mrs. Chen didn't speak, just looked at the fainted Xiaodouzi, now this child has no relatives in the world, if he is left behind, he will definitely die.

But she thought about it carefully, she couldn't protect herself, how could she bring another oil bottle.

The more Mrs. Chen thought about it, the more irritable she became. She sat up from the bed and crawled to Mrs. Du's bed.

The bed was already covered in blood, Xiaodouzi was pillowing Du Shi's package, and Chen Shi reached out to take it, but Xiaodouzi suddenly woke up and looked at Chen Shi fiercely.

"This is something my mother gave me!"

Xiaodouzi's eyes were blood red, and tears flowed down his cheeks.

Chen was a little embarrassed, she said: "I just want to help you see how much money your mother left for you, tomorrow we will send you ashore, find a place for your mother to bury, and help you find a good place. "

Xiaodouzi lowered his head, tears streaming down his face.

He took out a handful of broken silver from the package, and cried, "Auntie, I beg you, please take me to the capital. I have a father, and I don't want to be an orphan. I will give you all the money."

Chen took the package, which still had Du's blood on it.

She looked.

"It's not much, it's really not enough. From here to the capital, it's really not enough for food and travel expenses, and we don't know where your father is."

Xiaodouzi was still pleading with Mrs. Chen.

Gu Heng said, "Little Douzi, there is nothing we can do."

Xiaodouzi continued to plead: "My father is a scholar, he is very powerful, if you help me find my father, my father will definitely thank you."

Gu Heng let out a long sigh: "Little Douzi, your mother may have offended someone. We have to find you a safe place. When you grow up, you can find your father by yourself."

Gu Heng knew that she was lying to the child, and she was a little embarrassed.

When Xiaodouzi heard this, he fell silent immediately. He hugged Du Shi's package and lay quietly on the bed that still had bloodstains.

Both Chen Shi and Gu Heng didn't sleep all night.

The next day they arrived at a pier, where the boat only needed to be repaired for a day, so Chen and Gu Heng borrowed the boat owner's trolley and pushed the corpse under the boat.

Gu Heng originally wanted to ask the boat boss for Du's boat fare, since everyone died, the boat fee must be refunded, but the boat boss refused to refund.

This is a very prosperous port city. The place where they disembark is very prosperous. There are stalls selling candy and food everywhere. Chen teased Xiaodouzi to buy him delicious food, but Xiaodouzi lowered his head and refused to say a word. explain.

As Gu Heng pushed the cart, passers-by along the way looked sideways.

After all, the corpses in this car are a little smelly.

Mrs. Chen said from the side: "We ordinary people should always be careful when walking outside. Mrs. Du doesn't know who she has offended. It's really scary that someone who seeks money and kills her is actually targeting her."

Gu Heng frowned suddenly.

"People in the rivers and lakes, who is that?"

Mrs. Chen continued: "It is the people of all ages who walk on both sides of the canal to make a living. It is said that many of them have martial arts skills and often use some insidious killing moves. Anyway, it is best not to provoke such people."

Gu Heng was a little worried when he heard this.

Gu Heng asked Xiaodouzi: "Who did your mother offend? Do you know?"

Xiaodouzi still lowered his head and did not speak.

Gu Heng couldn't bear it, and seeing a candied haws seller, he gritted his teeth and spent three Wen to buy a bunch, and handed it to Xiaodouzi.

"Candied haws, do you want to eat?"
