Chapter 110 Merger

Yun Xi watched Yu Zhi leave, then turned around and returned to the widow's room, preparing to take advantage of the adults' time to do what they could do first.

Fang Lian'er has just passed her twenties, and she wears ordinary cheesecloth, which shows that her family background is ordinary.

Yun Xi observed the color of the corpse's rotting flesh while squeezing herbs into the small dish next to it.

Qingguo followed Yu Zhi out of Dali Temple, but he soon came back carrying a large basin of flour.

"Miss, please match the color first, and I will borrow some water."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Yun Xi kept adding more and more to several small dishes, twisting and stirring the medicine.

Qingguo knocked on Mr. Huang's door with a smile, as if the unpleasant episode had never happened before.

"Mr. Huang, you are an old man from Dali Temple. You must know everything, right?"

Huang Lao Heng frowned coldly, he had already made up his mind to embarrass Yun Xi's master and servant, but before he could speak, Qingguo slapped him with a high hat, and he couldn't help but choke on the unpleasant words that came to his lips.

"Looking at how knowledgeable Mr. Huang is, he must know everything."

Qingguo didn't wait for Mr. Huang to react, but blinked his dark eyes and clasped his hands together and begged: "Do you know where I can get clean warm water? Miss and I need it."

That cute look of "I can't do it without you" instantly melted Huang Lao's straight heart. He still wanted to put on airs and said firmly: "Wait."

Faced with a cute little maid who was as old as his granddaughter, he couldn't be hard-hearted after all.

After receiving a large basin of warm water, before Qingguo could say thank you, Mr. Huang slammed the door hard.

"Thank you, Mr. Huang!"

Qingguo, who had been rejected, thanked him profusely and returned to the widow's room with a large basin of warm water. He had no idea that Mr. Huang, who was leaning against the door, was beating his hand hard, secretly cursing that he was useless!

He must have been fooled by lard just now, how could he help the criminal gangsters who were trying to steal their jobs?!

Yun Xi inside the house had already begun to use several basins to pack flour. After touching the appropriate warm water, she realized that Mr. Huang was an experienced old man.

She whispered to Qingguo: "Go and leave a crack in the door."

Maybe the tsundere Huang Lao with his tough talk would want to come in and take a look?

"No, miss, what if Mr. Huang came in and saw it?" Qingguo knew the miss's habits and never liked people to disturb her during autopsies.

"I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to restore the body today, and I won't have time to examine it." Yun Xi said softly: "It doesn't hurt to let Mr. Huang see how to restore the body."

"Yes." Qingguo obeyed obediently.

Yun Xi kneaded the dough bit by bit, and added gypsum powder one by one. Using some of the knowledge she learned in the Valley of Divine Medicine, she gradually added herbs and kneaded out soft dough of different colors.

Unable to suppress his curiosity, Mr. Huang opened the door and saw dough of different colors in small basins, probably waiting to rise.

The color of the dough was similar to the skin, so he could tell at a glance which part of the human body needed repair.

"Why, how can this color be blended so well?"

"Tone with the color of special herbs."

Yun Xi didn't even raise her head, she was still kneading the dough in her hands, and explained in a warm voice: "The herbs mixed with several colors are all different, and the dosage must be compared with the corpse. Do you want to use it?"

I’ll write the recipe to you.”

Mr. Huang was startled when Yun Xi asked, "You, you want to give it to me?"

"Ah," Yun Xi raised her head, her clear eyes full of confusion: "Don't you want Mr. Huang?"

"I want it!" Huang Lao agreed excitedly, as if he had forgotten his hatred of the little girl coming to steal his job.

Blending skin color is a delicate job, and each artist has his own habits. For example, Mr. Huang will first choose the yellowest mud color, and then add flour and gypsum little by little to gradually make the color lighter and more realistic.

But Yun Xi's technique is exquisite, and the colors she blends are obviously more realistic and more similar to the skin color... The most important thing is that she doesn't mind that she is also a fake, and casually teaches Mr. Huang her special skills.

He was ashamed of his magnanimity.

"The deceased only had a thin blade wound on his neck. There is a wound map in the yamen, so why bother to go to the trouble of pinching out real wounds on the body?" Huang Lao simply refused to leave and squatted next to Yun Xi to watch her cook.

"I need to see the actual wounds."

It is not easy to completely restore the appearance of the corpse. The fatal wound on the deceased's neck was thin and fine. Only by repairing the skin texture can it be completely restored.

When Yun Xi listened to Yu Zhi's description of the wound, she had an intuition that there was indeed something hidden in this case, and it might even have something to do with the Two Swordsmen.

Guessing out of thin air was useless, so Yun Xi decided to use troublesome methods to confirm the inference.

Half an hour later, Yu Zhi, who was sweating profusely, carried something and pushed open the door of the widow's workshop.

"Miss Yun, the official is back!" After Yu Zhi finished speaking, he met the eyes of Mr. Huang who was squatting by the door. Both of them were startled.

Yu Zhi was shocked, and Huang Lao was ashamed. His old face turned red, he jumped up and was about to leave.

It’s so embarrassing!

"Thank you, sir!"

Yun Xi was focused on recovering the corpse. She was overjoyed to see Yu Zhi return. She stepped forward to take the brown paper bag from Yu Zhi's hand, then smiled and said to Huang Lao who had already walked to the door: "Senior Huang, can you help me?"

"No trouble, no trouble, that's up to you."

Huang Lao immediately performed the "Sichuan Face Changing", turned around and came close to Yun Xi, and the two of them muttered a lot of "future words" that Yu Zhi could not understand.

Yu Zhi was confused.

What happened in the short half hour he was away?!

Seeing that the adults were acting like stupid goose, Qingguo couldn't help but snicker: "Mr. Huang is impressed by my young lady's true talent and learning!"

Yu Zhi then thought about it, yes, besides this possibility, who else could make the aloof Huang Lao bow his head?

All the materials were available. Yun Xi and Huang Lao acted as the main hands, and Qing Guo and Yu Zhi served as the assistants. The four of them worked around the rotting corpses that were already flowing with corpses and repaired them bit by bit.

When most of the bones and blood were gradually filled, Yun Xi made the final and precise additions to the wounds on the face and neck of the corpse.

Huang Lao, Yu Zhi and Qingguo all held their breaths, waiting for Yun Xi to finish.

After a few breaths, Yun Xi stood up straight and exhaled a long breath: "Okay."

The three heads sighed in unison, and Yu Zhi couldn't help but exclaimed: "This, this person looks like he is not rotten!"

Mr. Huang sneered angrily: "You are worthless", but he also admired Yun Xi in his heart.

Qingguo wasn't too surprised, she knew her lady's craftsmanship best.

Since then, Fang Lian'er, who had been dead for several days, finally reappeared in her complete form. The invisible wounds finally appeared in front of Yun Xi.

Her eyes tightened, "It's a wound caused by two thin-edged swords."

They are the same thin-edged double knives used to kill Zhou Xi and stab Lu Qingfan.

"It is indeed a pair of thin-edged swords, what's wrong?" Yu Zhi didn't know why.

Yun Xi looked at Yu Zhi sharply and said seriously: "Master Yu, I'm afraid Miss Fang's case will be taken over by the Criminal Department."

[Author's digression]: Mr. Huang: How dare you, Mr. Shu? Not only do you want to steal my job, but you also want to steal the job of Dali Temple?!

Yun Xi: ...joint investigation, not robbery.

Mr. Huang: Just robbing!

Yun Xi: Fang Zi is coming again.

Mr. Huang: The double-swordsman case was originally your case, and there is nothing wrong with the merger.
