I Pushed Through The Weird World

Chapter 14 Investigation, old beggar

The government officials are divided into four groups. The fourth group belongs to Gu Yan. It has the smallest number of people, but it is responsible for the poorest and most troubled town in the county.

Just now that he had nothing to do, Gu Yan took a detour first, and then went to Hualou Street at the junction of the Northeast for a stroll.

Because Xiahe County Pier is in Kitamachi.

Merchant ships stop, unload, and purchase goods, and they will inevitably stop here, which promotes the commercial development here.

Therefore, Julang Gang, the only gang in the county, flower houses, restaurants, and casinos all gather here, which is considered the most prosperous place in the county.

After walking around the street twice, Gu Yan left.

On the way, Gu Yan responded with a smile to the enthusiastic greetings from neighbors.

Compared with the bustling Beicho, Dongcho is simply another extreme.

The neat and clean green brick ground has turned into a broken ground with potholes and lack of bricks and stones, and the ditches on both sides emit a foul smell.

Walking on the road, you have to keep looking at your feet, because you will step on the freshly steaming rice fields at any time.

Higashi Town occupies less than a quarter of the county seat, but is home to nearly 7,000 households. Dirty streets, sewage everywhere, and accumulation of debris are common conditions here.

In contrast, the house with a yard left to him by Gu Yan's previous parents is already very good.

"In the 132nd year of the Wei Dynasty, in the middle of the night, a woman was suddenly heard crying in an abandoned house in the 13th district of Dong Town. Some brave people heard the sound and left without returning. They searched for it during the day but found nothing, so they were banned."

This is recorded in the case file in red.

The place where Gu Yan lives is not far from the 13th District, only separated by two small alleys.

"This place has records in the case files. There was a fire more than ten years ago. Because of the narrow terrain and inconvenient access, it affected rescue operations. As a result, many people died at that time."

The last piece was basically rebuilt.

"The woman crying is heard from the Qisan House in the 13th District of that area. The original owner moved out after getting rich, and it has been vacant there.

From behind, there was a woman crying! "

Gu Yan decided to check out the spot now!

The further you go in, the more dilapidated the house looks, and there are no pedestrians in sight.

There are messy weeds everywhere in the gaps on both sides.

Occasionally, an elderly person took out a chair and lay at the door, squinting his eyes to enjoy the rare sunshine recently.

It's just that it also adds a lot of decadent taste to this place.

This area is more like being forgotten in a corner of Xiahe County.

Passing through that alley, the house in front became even more deserted.

Many are deserted and no longer inhabited.

"Seven Third Courtyard, just in front of the corner."

Gu Yan quickened his pace.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Baby, don't go forward, the front is not clean."

Gu Yan stopped, and instantly pressed the handle of the butcher's knife hidden in his waist with his right hand!

"I didn't find anyone just now!"

He took a deep breath and turned his head to the side where the voice came from.

I saw a pair of old eyes looking at me in the gap between the dense weeds!

Misery, vicissitudes.

The owner of these eyes must have experienced a lot.

Gu Yan took a few steps forward and discovered that he was an old beggar lying in a pile of weeds.

The old beggar's lower body was on a small slope, and his head was resting on the grass for comfort.

No wonder with his eyesight, he didn't notice the old beggar in front of him.

Gu Yan then remembered that many beggars in the county were hiding here.

After all, there are the most abandoned houses here, which can barely provide shelter from the wind and rain.

"Uncle, can you tell me in detail?"

A big sum of money was placed next to the old beggar by Gu Yan.

The old beggar seemed to have no strength and did not move: "Too much curiosity is not a good thing. Leave now!"

After saying that, he closed his eyes and didn't want to say more.

Eh.

Gotta play the bad guy again.

Gu Yan's face turned cold: "Sir, you'd better say it. Winter is coming. If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about other little beggars!"

Hearing these semi-threatening words, the old beggar opened his eyes and widened: "What do you mean?"

Gu Yan waved his government officer's sword: "Look at you, sir. Recently, a wanted criminal fled to Xiahe County. I suspect he is hiding here and preparing to clear this area."

The old beggar's eyes drooped, and his dark face became increasingly depressed.

He didn't expect that his kind reminder would be treated like this by the other party!

"That's all, people's hearts are extremely evil. If you want to know, I'll tell you!"

In the old beggar's feeble hoarse voice, Gu Yan learned things that were not recorded in the case file.

It turns out that the owner of Qisan House was originally just a coolie at the dock, named Song Si, and his parents died young.

Fortunately, his parents arranged a marriage for him before they passed away.

The other party is also a girl from this area. Her father died young, her mother remarried, and she has a disabled right leg, so she agreed to the marriage.

Anyway, there is finally some hope for the day.

As a result, something unexpected happened.

One day seven years ago, while carrying goods, Song Si fell off the boat and injured his back.

After spending all his savings on treatment, he still couldn't get up and became a disabled person.

One is unable to move, and the other has difficulty with his legs and feet.

Moreover, Song Si still needs decoction to maintain his body.

But where is the money!

Life can't go on at all!

"Guess how they managed to survive?"

As he spoke, the old beggar suddenly looked at Gu Yan with his cloudy eyes.

Gu Yan felt a chill rising in his heart when the old beggar stared at him.

His heart condensed, and his right hand had accidentally touched his waist, and he said tentatively: "Women do embroidery, wash clothes for support?"

Unexpectedly, the old beggar chuckled disdainfully: "A doll is just a doll. You are young and have little experience. You should still be a baby."

Gu Yan scratched his head in embarrassment: "You have such vicious eyes. In fact, I was also bluffing you earlier. I just heard that something happened here before. I was just on duty, so I came over to take a look out of curiosity."

"Master, just tell me, how did the other party survive?"

"What do you rely on? Who do you think has the most people around here? Listen to my advice, don't be so curious, so that you can live as long as the old man!"

After finishing speaking, the old beggar seemed to be tired and unwilling to say more, so he closed his eyes again and got up to rest.

Gu Yan didn't say much this time, he got up and took a long look at the Seventh Third Courtyard at the corner of the alley, then turned and left.

When he saw the pedestrian again, a sense of warmth flowed through his whole body.

"call!"

On the way back, he kept up his spirits, but now he felt very tired.

"I'm really a shadow of a snake, and now it's the sun, how could I meet those things so easily."

After smiling, Gu Yan was ready to go back and take a nap.

On the way back, a few beggars in their teens grabbed some white cloths they got from no one knew where they got them, and passed him with their heads down.

The direction to go back is exactly the direction Gu Yan came back from.

The kinder the person, the more experience they have, and the deeper their resentment towards the injustice of fate when their faith collapses and they die miserably.
