I am Changsheng in Daqin

Chapter 8
The snow danced wildly in the wind, and the wind crushed the snowflakes into pieces. The two intertwined into a hazy snow mist between the sky and the earth.

The visitors in the snow are both real and illusory, if they are ordinary people, they can only vaguely see their outlines.

However, Li Qing is different——

Since he entered the class, his eyesight and hearing have been better than ordinary people.

Although it is still in the early stages, it is still enough to see clearly the appearance of the person coming——

A tall man with a beard was holding an iron rod as thick as his wrist. The other part of the iron rod was resting on the ground, making a grunting sound.

The other one is fat, has a pockmarked face, and wears a leather eyepatch over his right eye, making him look like a one-eyed dragon.

Cyclops?
Li Qing suddenly realized that it was Master Jiang!

"Master Jiang came here in the snow, and he will never do it without purpose." '

'Could it be that... he knew it was me who injured him? '

'Impossible, it's such a long distance, and I'm hiding behind a tree. Even if he sees someone here, it's impossible to identify him. '

'Besides, there was no one around at the time, and there were no other witnesses. '

'No matter why he came, it's because he came with bad intentions! '

Li Qing secretly thought to himself, feeling somewhat guilty.

But then again, Mr. Jiang was full of crimes, and his death deserved more than justification, so this punishment is insignificant at all.

At this time, Haitang came to the front bunk from the backyard carrying a bowl of hot water.

Li Qing was thoughtful and quick in thinking. Before Haitang could speak, he whispered as fast as he could:
"Hurry back to the house and ask your mother to hide all the food. No matter what method you use, try to hide the smell of meat. By the way, you have to hide it too. There is a cave under the rice vat, and there is a big wooden box inside. There’s nothing wrong with people, hurry up!”

Haitang was startled, glanced at the visitor subconsciously, and quickly turned around and returned to the house.

In a blink of an eye, the visitor was close at hand.

Li Qing put down the work in his hands and greeted him with pretended enthusiasm: "Master Jiang, it's so hard for you to come out to observe the people's sentiments in such a heavy snowfall. Hurry, please come to the shop."

"You're so thoughtful, I wish all those evil people would fucking die!"

Not only was Mr. Jiang's mouth dirty, he also kicked down the signboard at the door of the iron shop.

"Hey, who are you talking to? You're so angry!"

While Li Qing moved a stool for Master Jiang, he scolded Master Jiang's ancestors for eight generations in his heart.

Master Jiang kicked the stool aside, picked up the red chopsticks from the blacksmith's furnace, pointed them at Li Qing's right eye, and wanted to poke it in: "Follow that bastard who blinded one of my eyes!"

Looking at the slightly swaying fire chopsticks, it is like a fire snake twisting in the air, drying up the surrounding air, and every time you take a breath, it seems that a sharp knife cuts your throat.

Beads of sweat formed on Li Qing's forehead. He tried to stabilize his mind and be as calm as possible.

'Although Mr. Jiang's words have some connotations, it also shows that he does not have complete evidence. Otherwise, my right eye will be useless. '

'Since the evidence is insufficient, I can continue to deal with it in order to buy more time for Niang and Haitang. '

"Hey, these fire chopsticks are no joke. Come on, come on, drink a bowl of hot water to warm yourself up and relieve your anger."

Li Qing jokingly took the hot chopsticks from Master Jiang, served the hot water Haitang brought to Master Jiang, and continued:
"Your right eye...is really blind? Who is so capable, really good at it!"

Li Qing looked at Mr. Jiang's funny eye patch and bit his cheek, barely holding back his laughter.

"What did you fart at?"

Mr. Jiang was so angry that he raised his hand and was about to throw the bowl. The anger attacked his heart, causing an eye injury. The pain made him lose his temper.

Li Qing's words are indeed irritating. Firstly, they are to delay time; secondly, they make Master Jiang angry and hurt him even more.

Obviously, the effect he wanted was achieved.

After ordering, he quickly took the bowl and changed the subject:
"Don't get me wrong. What I mean is that unless he is a worldly expert, I will never believe that someone would dare to beat you like this."

In order to vent his anger, Mr. Jiang kicked the stool over.

He covered his blindfold with one hand, glared at Li Qing with the other eye, and said coldly: "I'm afraid this master is far away, but he is right in front of you!"

Li Qing knew it and asked: "What do you mean...?"

Master Jiang winked at the attendant on the side, who stepped forward, spread his palm, and presented the iron bead that blinded Master Jiang's right eye in front of Li Qing.

Li Qing gasped, and couldn't help taking half a step back, secretly regretting: "At that time, the situation was urgent, and the slingshot was the only weapon available. Unexpectedly... it became a real-name crime!" '

Master Jiang's eyes were sharp, watching Li Qing's reaction, and he seemed to understand everything——

This kind of iron bead is definitely not available to ordinary people, but a blacksmith can easily make it.

There were three iron shops in Xincheng County. One has closed down, and the owner of the other has been bedridden. Their homes were searched, but no similar iron beads were found.

Now, only the Li's Iron Shop is the most suspect.

Seeing that Li Qing hadn't spoken for a long time, Master Jiang asked sharply, "I heard from Wu's second son, you went out early yesterday, what did you do?"

Li Qing responded calmly: "My mother is ill, as you know. She misses her family, so I went on her behalf."

"My mother's family? Where is it?"

"Leave the county seat and go west for five miles to Dawangzhuang."

Master Jiang was full of doubts and secretly speculated: "To the west of Dawangzhuang is a deserted field, not far from the scene of my incident. At that time, I saw no one else except the young couple. Afterwards, I searched the entire Heigou Ridge and found no one else." Seeing a suspicious person, is there really a strange person in this world? '

At the same time, Li Qing also scolded Wu Laoer in his heart——

'This damn old woman is so damn talkative! '

'However, this doesn't mean anything. '

'Even if Mr. Jiang holds the iron bead in his hand, as long as I refuse to admit it... Oops! '

Li Qing secretly thought about this, and suddenly realized a huge flaw, so that his facial expression changed subtly.

Master Jiang's eyes were sharp and he caught a hint of information from Li Qing's panicked eyes. He immediately raised his hand to signal to his entourage.

The follower understood the situation and came to Li Qing with a quick step. He threw out the iron rod and held Li Qing's shoulders.

This iron rod seemed to have the strength of a thousand pounds, giving Li Qingdon a feeling of being overwhelmed by Mount Tai.

"Boy, you'd better pray to God and don't let me find the evidence."

Master Jiang had a sullen face. After speaking, he ordered his entourage to watch Li Qing, and then he turned and walked towards the backyard.

Bang!

The door of the main room was kicked open by Mr. Jiang, and a foul smell hit his face, making Mr. Jiang extremely uncomfortable and with stomach acid.

Wow... there was a burst of vomiting. If it weren't for his small throat, Mr. Jiang would definitely vomit out both intestines in his stomach.

It took him a while to recover before he recovered.

Master Jiang looked up and made sure that what he just entered was not a latrine, and said angrily:

"Everyone in the house, get out of here. This is a place where people live. It's like entering a shitty building!"

The main room really stinks like a toilet.

In order to cover up the lingering aroma left by the stew, Li Yuanshi had to invite the dung bucket into the main room, and then turned Master Jiang away.

Li Yuanshi did not forget Li Qing's advice, no matter who came, they should pretend to be recovering from a serious illness, so she applied stove ashes to her face in advance to make her complexion dull.

"Hey, Mr. Jiang is here. Please come to the house...invite me." Li Yuanshi's face was gloomy and he could not speak.

'Isn't this bitch infected?He's not dead yet! '

Master Jiang has completely lost interest in Li Yuanshi. Now he just wants to find the same iron beads in this yard.

As long as he finds him, he will definitely cut Li Qing into pieces.

However, the stench inside the house was so bad that he would suffocate to death if he stayed in there for even a while.

Master Jiang only replied in disgust: "If I enter your house, I might as well drill into a pig's nest!"

Before Mr. Jiang finished speaking, Li Qing's voice came from behind -

"A big man like Master Jiang, how can he go into a pig's nest! It's strange to say that since my cousin's funeral, there has been such an inexplicable stench in my house."

"You...how did you come in?"

Master Jiang was surprised - was the follower who followed him dead?Even a young boy can't stand it!

"The big guy who came with you has a weak kidney and needs a rest. Since you are so interested in our family, how can I neglect you? I have to come and serve you."

Li Qing pretended to be a snake and paralyzed Mr. Jiang while walking towards the snowman.

"Stop." Master Jiang shouted sternly, came to Li Qing, and said angrily:

"I'm warning you, before I find the evidence, no one can do anything. I know you are a kaleidoscope. If you really want me to find the evidence, I will squeeze out your dick!"

When Master Jiang said this, he also noticed the snowman in the yard.

The shape of the snowman is nothing more than a foreign object to people of this era.

Mr. Jiang was confused: "What is this thing? It looks like a human or a dog?"

The next second, Master Jiang was shocked——

The snowman's eyes are made of iron beads embedded in small square wooden blocks.

And the iron bead was exactly the same as the one that blinded his right eye.
