Jianghu Case: Female Psychologist

Chapter 7

Su Xiaopei blinked his eyes, Ran Feize blinked because of her influence,
Occasionally someone passed by on the street and looked at Su Xiaopei with surprised eyes.

She has short hair, and she is wearing a baggy men's coat with a messy belt tied on her body. She has no shoes on her feet and is covered with dirty thick cloth socks.Ran Feize knew that those who looked at her were just like himself, and they couldn't guess where such a weird-looking woman came from.

Where did she come from?He found out that Tang Lian had guarded his surroundings and there were no bandits chasing him, so he chose that place to light a fire for the night, but suddenly he heard a movement in the tree, and he thought that a master was coming, who could approach them silently.But when he looked at her in the past, she was a weird woman with no abilities. She didn't even wear a bellyband, and even by the moonlight, he could see the exquisite undulating curves of her body under the thin clothes.

How did she appear?How to get close to them?How about the tree?

Now she is looking at him seriously like this, as if she really wants to calculate how long she can live with five taels of silver.

Ran Feize wanted to laugh and sigh at the same time, he looked at her embarrassed look of being unable to stand, and knew in his heart that she had tried her best to keep up with their footsteps today, and he was afraid that she would not be able to lift her legs tomorrow.

But the nunnery might have to walk for half a day, he looked at her feet, if she was asked to walk such a long way again, she would definitely not be able to hold on.He thought of her scheming Mantou, and suddenly felt a little soft-hearted.

"Five taels of silver is nearly five thousand copper coins." He replied.

5000 copper plates.Su Xiaopei has the final say, steamed buns are not easy to count, change to steamed stuffed buns. 5 copper plates and 1 bun, 5000 copper plates equals 1000 buns, 5 buns per meal, 15 buns a day, hey, almost two months.

If we all eat steamed buns, plus the cost of clothing, housing and transportation, and save money, can 5 taels of silver last for two months?
"Girl." Ran Feize called out.Seeing her frowning and thinking, he actually felt that she was really pitiful.

"Strong man, let's catch the thief and exchange it for silver."

"The girl looks like this now, she is lucky not to be caught as a thief, how to catch a thief?"

Su Xiaopei pursed her lips, she said "we" is of course a polite way of saying, she doesn't know martial arts, she can't rush forward to catch the thief when she is alive and kicking, let alone now when she is only half dead.She was just being polite, but she was actually hoping that Ran Feize would be able to earn the five taels of silver.

Of course, the premise is that he has the ability.

The kick he kicked her off the tree was quite neat, and the move of wrapping her in clothes to the ground shouldn't be something anyone can do, right?She didn't know much about this kind of thing, but she was willing to believe that he had the ability to catch thieves.

"Girl, catching a thief is a trivial matter, but you should find a place to settle down first."

"But there are only fifteen copper coins..." She really wanted to encourage him to earn the five taels of silver.

"Miss, will you come with me?" Ran Feize obviously had little interest in catching thieves.

Su Xiaopei looked at his expression and sighed: "Fifteen coppers are better than none."

"It's true what the girl said."

Fifteen copper coins can hold her head high in front of her, she is really miserable.

Back then, in the normal world, she was also an intellectual, an expert, and she didn't dare to say what status she had, but there were still many people and things that asked her, and everyone was polite to her. There has been no worries about income.

It's good now, it's only fifteen copper coins, and five steamed buns...

Su Xiaopei had no choice but to follow Ran Feize.Ran Feize walked to a restaurant and asked Su Xiaopei to wait. He went in, came out after a while, and shook his head: "This restaurant doesn't accept short-term workers, we'll find another one."

Su Xiaopei nodded and followed him with his broken leg.Not to mention finding the next place, even if she was looking for N places, she couldn't object.After asking three families in a row, there was no good result. Su Xiaopei's heart fell to the bottom of the valley. Her leg was really going to break, and her foot must be rotten. She began to think, would she and the benefactor be two poor ghosts today? Going to sleep on the street?
After walking for a while, I couldn't help it anymore: "Strong man, you said that we should go back to Miss Tang's house and tell us about our difficulties. Her family can take us in for a while."

Ran Feize shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not easy to disturb."

Su Xiaopei sighed, planning for the worst in his heart. At this time, Ran Feize walked into a wine shop again. The owner of the wine shop chatted with him for a while, then looked at Su Xiaopei in the corner outside the door, pondered for a while, and finally nodded.

Su Xiaopei was refreshed, but she didn't dare to have too much hope. She waited and waited for a while before Ran Feize finished talking. manpower, but he has no spare room here, only a room that used to be a woodshed is vacant, would you like to live in it?"

Su Xiaopei nodded quickly: "I will go wherever the strong man goes."

Ran Feize frowned, and sighed in his heart how bold and heroic this woman was, and she was so bold and heroic in a serious manner, which I had never seen before.

In this way, Ran Feize led Su Xiaopei into the woodshed in the backyard.

The firewood room is not big, so it can’t be called clean, but there is no firewood in it, and there are some sundries piled up.The tavern owner's surname is Song. He blah blah blah blah blah about his tavern business, and he said that he took them in because he was kind-hearted, and that he would not worry about not being able to hire a handyman. It was a waste, so I built a shed in the yard to stack firewood, and made this room ready to be used as a guest room for those guests who have no money and want to stay in the hotel, but it hasn't been done yet.Now that they are looking for a place to stay, this is the only one they have.He said that he would send the bed board in a while, and let Ran Feize build the bed by himself.

When Boss Song was talking, he glanced at Su Xiaopei from time to time.Su Xiaopei hid behind Ran Feize's heavy burden, listening and observing his behavior and expression.

After Boss Song finished speaking, he told Ran Feize that his handyman hadn't been on work for two days, and the firewood hadn't been chopped yet. He asked Ran Feize to pack up and get to work quickly. He was waiting to use the firewood.

Ran Feize agreed, then Boss Song took another look at Su Xiaopei and went out.

Ran Feize waited for him to leave, and said to Su Xiaopei: "Don't mind it, he just saw you as curious, your dress is really weird."

"No, his expression is disdain and contempt. He thinks I'm disgusting."

Ran Feize didn't expect Su Xiaopei to say that, and was taken aback for a moment.Su Xiaopei didn't want to talk about it, she had something urgent to do now.

"Strong man, where is the toilet?"

"Toilet?" Ran Feize was taken aback again.

"Uh, latrine? It's called a latrine, right?"

Ran Feize continued to be dazed, he grew up so big, it was the first time a girl asked him to go to the bathroom.He cleared his cough, went out and turned around and came back: "It's in the southwest corner."

"Which corner is the southwest corner?" She was really anxious.

Ran Feize pointed in a direction, Su Xiaopei wanted to stride forward, but her leg almost twisted, the pain was getting worse and worse, she wouldn't be crippled, would she?

Ran Feize couldn't stand it anymore, so he had no choice but to support her by his elbow, sent her to the toilet, and waited for her again.

Su Xiaopei had never seen such a dirty toilet in her life. She was so disgusted, but there was nothing she could do. Her legs hurt so much that she couldn't squat down. She almost fell into the pit, but she couldn't help it. Dare to take a big breath.

Ran Feize looked at her with a strange expression, Su Xiaopei could understand it, but she could only pretend not to see it, such things as time travel were simply used to practice face.

In the second half of the day, Su Xiaopei didn't go anywhere or do anything.Ran Feize assembled the bed boards and placed them on the ground.The bed had no legs, it was really just a plank.He also got a chair for Su Xiaopei to sit on.Su Xiaopei sat down, and then her legs hurt so badly that she couldn't stand up anymore.She sat like this, watching Ran Feize work.

Ran Feize worked very quickly. He packed up the firewood house and started chopping firewood in the yard.The big ax seemed to be weightless in his hand, and he slashed through it crackling, and soon he chopped half of the firewood in the shed.

Boss Song came over in the middle, wanting to see how Ran Feize was doing.Seeing the way he chops firewood, he was dumbfounded for a while.Su Xiaopei thought, he probably didn't expect someone to cut firewood as quickly as tofu.

After chopping the firewood, Ran Feize fetched water and scrubbed it in the yard, then came in and told Su Xiaopei that he was going out for a while.

"Where are you going?" Su Xiaopei was a little nervous. Ran Feize had a history of abandoning her.

"where."

"what?"

"When talking about where to go."

"Then where are you going?"

"It's not appropriate for you to dress up like this. Go find some clothes for you."

"Can fifteen copper coins buy clothes?"

"clothes."

"Can fifteen copper coins buy clothes?"

"No."

Su Xiaopei shut his mouth, and asked him where to get clothes, isn't it inappropriate?
"Don't worry, girl, I'm not a criminal." It means that he won't steal or rob her, and he won't let her walk down the street wearing that clothes and be caught as a thief.

"En." Su Xiaopei nodded, and took the opportunity to say: "It would be great if I could earn the five taels of silver."

Ran Feize glanced at her.

"Or, the strong man will drop by to see how the five taels of silver can be earned."

"It's too little, it shouldn't be very interesting." Ran Feize actually looked disgusted.

Su Xiaopei was speechless. Fifteen copper coins are disgusting and five liang of silver is less. What's wrong with this?
"For rewards, five taels of silver is really small. It's not very interesting to offer a reward if you're not a thief or just for reporting." He glanced at Su Xiaopei, obviously not pretending to be pitiful, but his heart was soft up. "Forget it, I'll go and have a look."

"Okay, okay." Su Xiaopei had no objection at all, she had no objection to anything, only one thing. "The strong man won't leave me and not come back, will he?" The ugly words must be said first.

Ran Feize didn't say anything, he just carried his oversized baggage to Su Xiaopei's chair.

Su Xiaopei was a little relieved to have a burden pledged here. "Be careful on the road of a strong man, go back quickly."

Seeing her serious face, Ran Feize nodded, and curled the corners of his mouth when he turned around to go out. The girl's expression was really interesting.Saving people is sometimes troublesome, especially women, he has been taught a lesson.But if you leave her behind, you won't feel at ease.It turns out that when a weak person wants to pretend that I am not pitiful or afraid at all, it is the most helpless and soft-hearted.

Ran Feize went out for a walk, first to make sure that the troublemaker had indeed been lured away, and left the town, and then he went to see the reward notice, and it was indeed as he expected, the reward was for reporting the criminal without a trace, so arresting people is like Looking for a needle in a haystack, the chances of getting a silver reward are slim.Ran Feize shook his head, he wasn't very interested in this kind of thing that was purely based on luck, but thinking that Su Xiaopei was very concerned about this matter, he still received a reward notice from the official.

After that, he went to Tang Lian's house again. The Tang family was very careful, guarding against the eyes of the neighbors, and politely alienated Ran Feize.Ran Feize explained the purpose of coming, and asked for two pieces of clothing for Su Xiaopei. According to the response of the Tang family, he also confirmed what he thought. The only way.

Ran Feize was thinking about how to arrange Su Xiaopei, but Su Xiaopei's mind was empty and he didn't think about anything.Her legs hurt when she moved a little, so she couldn't do anything except sit, so she stared at Ran Feize's big burden in a daze, waiting for him to come back.

After waiting for a long time, he finally came back, carrying a small bundle and a blanket on his back.Su Xiaopei was a little surprised, he actually found the clothes.She gave him points for competence.

Su Xiaopei was about to ask what happened to the five taels of silver, but he put his things away and went out, this time to pick up dinner.Boss Song took them in and asked Ran Feize to do part-time work, but he didn't pay them, only board and lodging.

Su Xiaopei is very cooperative, eat as soon as possible, regardless of the taste is good or bad, never picky eaters.After the two of them had dinner, she finally took the opportunity to ask, "Has the strong man heard the news? How do we catch the five taels of silver thief?"

Ran Feize smiled: "It's inappropriate for a girl to speak like this. You should change it quickly, so as not to teach others to hear it and cause trouble for criticism."

"It will be changed, it will be changed." Su Xiaopei had a headache, his speech and accent could not be changed in a short while, the business is to earn some money first.

Ran Feize took out the notice and handed it to Su Xiaopei: "The thief is not easy to catch. The government has no trace of him, and they don't expect ordinary people to do anything, so they just cast a wide net and offer rewards for reporting."

He handed over the notice halfway, stopped, and asked, "Can the girl read?"

"Literacy." These two words were squeezed out between the teeth.It's too insulting to a doctoral student, but she is really not sure.

As soon as I received the notice and opened it, my heart sank.

Classical Chinese!
Fortunately, she knows all the characters. It should be said that most of them know it. It's just that the font is a bit weird, so she doesn't dare to confirm some characters. But the biggest problem is that the sentences written in this notice are fragmented and written Add crepe crepe plus crepe crepe.

Su Xiaopei has studied for nearly 20 years, with excellent grades and a high degree of education. She is fluent in English and French. Although she has learned ancient Chinese in school, she has never used it for work, so she returned it to the teacher long ago.Who would have thought that one day she would need to deal with classical Chinese?

She tried hard to think about it, and thought it said that there was a flower picker who went around to commit crimes, raped and killed several women, and now in Stone Town, if anyone who knows his whereabouts can report his whereabouts to the government and help the government successfully catch the criminal, he will be rewarded. Reward five taels of silver.

The notice wrote the characteristics of the criminal, as well as a portrait.Su Xiaopei struggled to read, so he simply asked Ran Feize if this was the meaning of the notice.

Ran Feize rubbed his chin: "Although it's not perfect, it's pretty good. It seems that the girl does know some words and has read poetry and books, but how can she speak with such an accent?"

Su Xiaopei pursed her lips, ignored his words, and asked again: "Does this person commit crimes regularly? What kind of victims are they? How was his appearance recorded? Are there any witnesses? There are witnesses? Otherwise, how can we confirm that the same person did it? What is his method of committing the crime? What is so special about it? The serial murders must have common features, what are they?"

Ran Feize raised his eyebrows, surprised.Where did this woman come from?A normal woman would be terrified when she saw this kind of thing. She actually asked a lot of questions. Her words were still weird, but he almost understood them, and he knew that the questions she asked were not bad.It's just that too many details were not written on the notice, and most people don't need to write them. Everyone just needs to know the characteristics and appearance of the criminal, and if they see him, just report him.Who would think so much like her.

Here Su Xiaopei is still pondering: "It's really hard to catch such a serial criminal. I only give a thousand buns, will it be a little less?"

steamed stuffed bun?Ran Feize stopped raising his eyebrows, but he couldn't control the corners of his mouth. How did this girl go from a murderer to a bun?
