Chapter 21 4. Startled horse

Su Changshan suddenly disappeared from Chunyu's residence.He came and left as soon as he said, before the case was clarified and Wei Shengyan's illness was not cured, he disappeared. Two days later, just when people thought he would not come back, he came back leisurely. Ma Bo came to open the door, and when he saw him, he said in amazement, "Hey...you are back. I haven't seen you for two days!" "I went to the brothel." Su Changshan said flatly. However, Uncle Ma stared at him for a while as if he had swallowed ten eggs, then scratched his head: "I see you are a serious scholar, I didn't expect that...hehe."

While talking, Uncle Ma pointed forward: "Hey! Master is back too—" Sure enough, Wei Shengyan, wearing a fox fur cloak, was walking over with the help of his servant. The streets are desolate in winter, and the morning fog has not yet cleared, but there is a sound of hurried carriages approaching from a distance. Uncle Ma anxiously shouted: "Master, be careful!" I saw a black horse galloping wildly, and the carriage galloped without slowing down at all - Wei Shengyan just walked to the middle of the road, and it was too late to dodge - the white figure was particularly eye-catching under the violent hooves of the horse.

"Oh... God!" Uncle Ma was so frightened that his face turned pale, and when he turned his head, Su Changshan was no longer around. The startled horse in front let out a hiss, as if it was in pain.It ran forward for several feet before slowly stopping. Where Wei Shengyan was originally standing, there was only a pool of blood, and there was no one. Uncle Ma was terrified and shouted: "Master, master——!" Just when Uncle Ma was panicked and helpless, a voice suddenly came from above his head: "Bring a bamboo pole." Uncle Ma looked up and almost fell to the ground.Su Changshan sat on the tree, holding the Weisheng inkstone with one hand and the servant with the other.If you look closely, one corner of his robe is hanging from a tree branch.

"Bring a bamboo pole. I've only bought my clothes for half a month, so I don't want to be torn." Su Changshan said as a matter of course. Uncle Ma was so frightened that he didn't know what to say, so he went to the door to find a bamboo pole, and pulled up the corner of Su Changshan's clothes. Feeling relieved, Su Changshan jumped off the beam with the two of them, brushed off his clothes, and said: "It seems that no one has climbed this tree for a long time, there is a lot of dust." The servant was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, trembling.

After a lot of tossing, Wei Shengyan's ice and snow face was a little tired, but he didn't seem to be injured.Uncle Ma stared at him nervously and strangely, as if to make sure that the blood was not his. "Don't worry," Su Changshan raised a handful of chestnuts in Yang's hand: "Your master is not injured. I am embarrassed to eat alone, so I tasted one for the horse just now." "You beat the horse with chestnuts?" Uncle Marble's eyes widened. "I'm not beating the horse, but inviting the horse to eat chestnuts." "Yes... what's the difference?"

"The first chestnut hit the rodent on the horse's belly, using internal strength, but the second chestnut thrown into the horse's mouth had ordinary strength and very good eyesight." Wei Shengyan said.Although he doesn't know martial arts, he can clearly see Su Changshan's moves. Uncle Ma looked at the bloodstain on the ground again, and sure enough, there was a group of dead objects the size of a mouse in the center of the bloodstain, but he was too frightened to pay attention to it. Su Changshan praised: "Good eyesight." Then, he put the remaining chestnuts into Wei Shengyan's hands: "Save these chestnuts for your self-defense."

Wei Shengyan coughed twice: "Plucking flowers and flying leaves hurts people invisible, and we need to rely on the master's own cultivation. I don't know martial arts, so it's useless to ask for it." "Having said that, if someone wants to rob sex, you can hit him on the head with a chestnut." Uncle Ma stared at Su Changshan dumbfounded. For a moment, he only felt that this person surnamed Su was not only seemingly ordinary but actually unfathomable, but also, seemingly serious but actually... very funny. A young man in Chinese clothes hurried over, his expression was a little messy, he cupped his hands in a panic and said, "The carriage was frightened just now, I don't know if anyone was hurt or not?"

Uncle Ma was frightened for a long time, and when he saw the instigator, he became furious: "How did you drive your carriage! You almost hit our master just now..." "Uncle Ma." Wei Shengyan stopped him, and said indifferently: "No one was injured." The young man in Chinese clothes looked up and was stunned at the same place, he felt that his whole body was lost, all the pores of his body were unblocked, but he didn't dare to breathe, and he rubbed his hands awkwardly after a while, as if he was a little ashamed.But a flat voice said: "Brother Lu."

Mr. Lu looked to the side, his face was full of surprise and joy: "Brother Su!——Why are you here?" Su Changshan said: "The startled horse just now has nothing to do with you, it was the horse that was tampered with." Hearing what he said, Lu Shi asked nervously: "Have you been tampered with?" "There is a rodent hanging on the horse's belly." Su Changshan pointed to a pool of blood in the middle of the road: "This rodent looks like a ground mouse, but it is best at sucking the blood of living things. When the horse runs, the meridians relax and the blood flow smoothly , is its favorite blood-sucking moment. The horse’s belly hurts from being bitten, and it naturally goes crazy.”

Lu's face turned ashen at first, and then stomped angrily: "Who is going to kill me...!" Su Changshan lowered his voice and said, "You were so generous yesterday, someone must be very jealous—" That Lu's face was red and white, and he was a little happy, he just cupped his hands repeatedly at Su Changshan and said: "Thank you, brother Su, for reminding me. I will pay more attention when I go out in the future." He looked at the Weisheng inkstone next to him, but he couldn't He dared to show a little frivolity, and only repeatedly accused him: "I offended this brother, offended."

Uncle Ma was furious: "Did you call 'Brother' too? The magistrate should respect my master when he sees my master!" Lu Shi looked at the plaque on the mansion in astonishment, and the word Chunyu was written on it.He suddenly realized the identity of this handsome man, but no matter what he didn't expect Wei Shengyan to look so young, he was so anxious that he couldn't speak: "Oh..." Wei Shengyan turned indifferently and walked towards the mansion.Uncle Ma glared at him, then hurriedly turned around and followed him. Su Changshan kindly reminded: "Brother Lu, Mrs. Zun is still waiting in the mansion." Lu Shi was still staring at the back of the white cloak, but when he heard this, he said "ah" anxiously: "Hey...brother Su, don't joke, little brother will leave now." In Chunyu's mansion, several people were walking through the corridor. Uncle Ma asked Su Changshan curiously: "That person surnamed Lu just now was a friend you met at... that place?" "I met yesterday in the brothel." Su Changshan said naturally. Uncle Ma almost spit out a mouthful of saliva, no one in the family dared to be so bold in front of Wei Shengyan, he couldn't help but said: "You are a serious scholar, but that Lu..." "Uncle Ma!" Wei Shengyan stopped in his tracks: "Go and tell the kitchen to prepare some porridge, I'm getting hungry." Uncle Ma wanted to gossip about something at first, but he had to obey his orders when he heard this. When Uncle Ma walked away, Wei Shengyan coughed softly: "...I offended you." Su Changshan said kindly: "Weisheng has a noble family background, it's rare that Mr. doesn't regard me as a friend." "You act honestly and have a wide range of friends," Weisheng Yanfeng raised his eyes slightly: "Besides, there are differences in the depth of making friends, and there are differences in deeds—" He said this, only to see Su Changshan yawn: "Today I was sleepy when I got up early, and I almost tore my clothes." He took out a piece of sapphire from his palm and said, "I'll return the jade to you." Seeing Nayu, Wei Shengyan was slightly surprised: "When—" "It fell from a tree." Su Changshan said truthfully. At that time, Su Changshan had already brought the two of them up the tree, but suddenly his body sank, as if he was fishing for something, it turned out that it was the jade that fell from Wei Shengyan's body.Perhaps it was because of this action that the corner of his clothes was hanging on the branch. "This thing is expensive, I don't want it to fall off the tree and break into pieces." Su Changshan said. "Thank you——" Wei Shengyan shook his head lightly: "It may not be expensive, but Bin'er went to Baotong Temple to ask for this protective jade, which is rare for a child." Su Changshan asked: "Did you go to Tangmen today?" "good." "How is the case going?" "No idea yet." "I'm afraid I will have to work hard again tomorrow." Su Changshan closed the folding fan gracefully: "Tomorrow, the truth of the case will be revealed."
