Just as people were talking, suddenly a figure rushed to Hao Laosi, who was setting up a stall, first the vegetable seller aunt exclaimed, and when Hao Laosi turned around, he saw the blade flashing in front of him, and he was startled.

Only then did Ziyun and Zhuge Leng see clearly that it was a woman who rushed out just now, only to see that her clothes were tattered and her hair was scattered, there were many small wounds on her body, she was holding a blood-stained knife in her hand, and then looked at the scar on the palm of her other hand, it seemed that she had scratched herself.

The woman's eyes were bloodshot, and her face was hideous and continued to slash at the fourth child, Hao Laosi was also frightened, and the cat's body even pounced and crawled away. The woman instantly changed her target and rushed towards the woman who had just held the baby.

The scene suddenly boiled, and people kept screaming: "That crazy woman ran out again!"

"Murder! Murder!"

"Catch her!"

The two attendants, who didn't know what was going on, saw the crazy woman rushing towards the woman holding the child, Zhuge quickly pressed the crazy woman to the ground in an instant, and the woman holding the child just now was frightened, and she held the child and retreated again and again.

Zhuge Leng suppressed the crazy woman, although this woman had some strength because of her madness, but after all, she was still in the category of ordinary people, and she couldn't move when she was suppressed by a master like Zhuge Leng, so she could only stare at the woman viciously.

didn't know the reason yet, Ziyun shouted first: "Xiao Leng, don't hurt her." Zhuge Leng naturally knew that she couldn't kill indiscriminately, with her skills, this crazy woman who had no cultivation couldn't resist at all. Lifted the madwoman up, dropped the knife and clasped her hands behind her back.

Seeing that the crazy woman was controlled, the people around her also breathed a sigh of relief, and Hao Laosi, who was very frightened, also got up: "Lao Tzu almost died, what about the people of the Chen family!?

There are also many people who are resentful in their hearts, holding small stones, or vegetable leaves and garbage on the market floor and throwing them at the crazy woman, and a wave of throwing hits, and the crazy woman is smashed so that she can't open her eyes. Su Fang immediately went over to stop him: "Don't be like this, she is Chen Yao, don't fight." ”

Seeing Su Fang standing in front of the crazy woman, someone shouted: "Su girl, you dodge, this crazy woman is not a normal person for a long time." ”

"That's it, how many times have she run out to cut in the past year, and the people of the Chen family say that they are optimistic about her, but what !! the result?"

"Alas, if Uncle Seven is still here, maybe I can show her, don't have anything unclean!?"

"Hey, anyway, Uncle Seven just went out not long after she went crazy, and she hasn't been able to come back until now. ”

"Hey, there's nothing else going on here!?"

While he was talking, a short and fat middle-aged man hurried over, and everyone gathered around him as soon as they saw her: "Okay, you old man Chen, didn't you say last time that you locked her in the house and was guarded by her family? Why did she run out again?"

The woman who was holding the child also said, "She came at me with a knife, and you can see how frightened my child." ”

"No, it's been a three-day mess, you have to give us an explanation today, I don't believe you anymore!"

The middle-aged man apologized to the neighbors again and again, and called two sturdy workers to tie up the madwoman with a rope and take it away. The people around them no longer looked lively and warm just now, either scolding and walking away, or gathering together and muttering quietly.

Because of protecting the crazy woman just now, Su Fang's vegetable basket was also knocked over, and some garbage was smashed on her body, only to see her cleaning up with a melancholy face, Ziyun and Zhuge Leng stepped forward to help. Although they didn't know what was going on, the two waiters obviously felt the change in everyone, and they didn't say anything, and accompanied Su Fang back to the old store.

Halfway through, Ziyun asked, "Miss Su, what happened just now?" Uh, is that girl also from the town?"

Su Fang said softly: "Her name is Chen Yao, and we grew up together...... In fact, the children in the town all grew up together. ”

Ziyun nodded, this town is not very big, the locals are basically related to each other, and the relationship between young people is only good or bad, and there is nothing that they don't know or are not familiar with.

At this time, Zhuge Leng asked, "Then how did she become like this?"

Su Fang was silent for a while, and Ziyun was busy: "If it's inconvenient......

"It's not inconvenient, everyone in the town knows that almost a year ago, Chen Yao fell from the mountain and was injured, but she still walked home slowly by herself, and then she began to scream and make a fuss, like crazy. In the end, he even injured himself with a knife and ran out into the street to cut people indiscriminately. Uncle Chen had no choice but to tie her up at home. ”

"Uncle Chen, is that the person just now?"

"Well, Uncle Chen opened a grain store in the town, and she tried her best to treat Chen Yao in the past year, but there was still no improvement, so she could only be tied up at home. ”

Zhuge Leng said strangely: "If you hurt your head, I've seen someone who has become stupid and has lost her memory, and it's the first time I'll go crazy when I see it." ”

Seeing that the maid was speechless, Ziyun immediately scolded: "Xiao Leng, don't say it." "Don't look at the atmosphere, and say in front of people that her friends don't pay attention.

Zhuge flattened her mouth coldly and didn't refute, but she still thought that there was a problem here, but in today's world, there are more people who live and die, and there are more disasters in vain, and a crazy woman in a secluded town doesn't have to pay too much attention, and then she doesn't say anything more.

Back at the old Su family's store, several children were playing a game of beating stones outside the door, Ziyun knew that the little boy who was throwing stones now was Su Fang's younger brother Su Cheng, but at the age of six or seven years old, it was the time to recruit cats and dogs to dislike people, and he didn't need his help in the inn, it all relied on his father and sister Zhang Luo.

Originally, the two didn't care, but they didn't expect Su Fang to shout: "Su Cheng! Who let you flip that burden!!"

On weekdays, my father and mother are very fond of my youngest son, but when my sister teaches me a lesson, she is not soft at all, and now Xiao Sucheng thinks that her sister should marry out as soon as possible. This time he was yelled at by his sister, whether he knew that he was wrong or not, Su Cheng shrank his neck first.

And Su Fang took a small black object from his hand, but Ziyun's eyes swept over but he was stunned: "Miss Su, can you show me this thing?"

Su Fang handed over the small object in confusion: "Guest officer, do you know this?"

Ziyun took it, this is a diamond-shaped black token, the middle of the token is written with the word 'Feng', and the word 'Wang' in the middle of this Feng is red. The two, who had been up and down in the rivers and lakes for several years, immediately recognized that this was the token of the Fengdu royal family.

Speaking of the Wang family, people in the rivers and lakes must be no strangers, especially when Mo whispered to guide them in Huadu, he also talked about the two sisters and brothers in Binzhou when they were young, and they helped the spirits for thousands of miles.

Ziyun hurriedly asked, "Miss Su, where did you get this thing from?"

Su Yi recalled that one night about a year ago, two people with cloaks and pockets came to the inn, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, but they only knew that they were a man and a woman, and the man seemed to be sick. They didn't say what the relationship was, but they only had a room and left a large piece of silver.

Early the next morning, Daddy Su prepared breakfast, knocked on the guest room for a long time but no one responded, and waited for another day and still no one came out, and the window of the guest room was open from the outside. Later, I really couldn't help it, so I cut the latch from the outside, only to find that the whole room was empty and the windows were wide open. Although the bed has folds that have been laid, there are no signs of movement except for a burden on the table in the guest room.

This is the Bawang store? No, not to mention that there is still a balance of broken silver left at the counter at the beginning, even the silver taels in this burden are enough to live in this small shop for a year and a half.

The honest and responsible old couple of the Su family were afraid that something would happen in it, so they opened the baggage first and took a look, except for two pieces of clothing and a little broken silver, there was only this black token. They didn't dare to move, so they had to put away the whole baggage and close the doors and windows. There is still a quota of broken silver left at the counter, and when the store runs out of money, when the guest room is open to the public, so that the money is not a shame.

As for this burden, the old couple received it into the cabinet, and the silver in it did not move, and told the children that if the guests returned, the burden must be returned completely, and the two should not turn it over. Unexpectedly, today Su Cheng actually took out the black pieces in the burden to play with stones, no wonder Su Fang was so angry.

Ziyun rubbed the token, and things began to get interesting: "So these two never came back?" Su Fang nodded.

After the payment was settled, the room was rented out again, and there was no news of the two of them for a year.

……

At night, Ziyun and Zhuge Leng sat in the room, and Ziyun looked at the token in his hand: "This town is not big, and life is usually very peaceful, but a year ago, a girl was injured in the mountains and went crazy." Also a year ago, two people suspected of being from the Wang family came here, and then disappeared mysteriously, and even the family token was dropped. Xiao Leng, it seems that we won't be able to leave for a while. ”

The two of them traveled along the way, and also killed some bandits and thieves, rebels, and even killed a monster, which was to hone themselves and travel the rivers and lakes, I thought that this town was quite peaceful, but I just wanted to take a break for three or five days and leave, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Zhuge Leng said: "Could it be a defector from the Wang family?"

Since Huangquan lost the ghost spirit bead, the Wang family seems to have lost its containment, and many children of the Wang family who have other ideas in their hearts have secretly defected, and I heard that the defectors have also established an organization called 'Ren Na He'.

Ziyun nodded: "If it is really an apostate, it will explain why you have to hide your appearance with a hat, the pair of yin and yang purple pupils of the Wang family are too conspicuous." ”

"Well, also, that man may not be sick, he should be injured. ”

"If you say so, it is very likely that the Wang family defector who was hunted down and killed came to this town to stay because he was injured. ”

Zhuge Leng continued: "Maybe there was a change in his injuries after that, or maybe it was the chasing soldiers who arrived, so he left in a hurry?"

"It stands to reason that the pursuit of the defectors of the Wang family should not be so quiet, if it really reaches the point where you are forced to leave immediately, it means that the pursuers are not far away, and there should be a battle at such a distance. ”

"Maybe they escaped quickly and didn't meet them?"

"But this burden hasn't been dispersed, you can carry it easily, if you don't encounter a battle, then this means that time is not too tight, it shouldn't be. Forget Xiao Leng, it's useless to just think so, tomorrow we will divide into two ways and ask in the town. ”

Zhuge Leng said: "Then what if it really just escaped, and that woman's madness is also a coincidence?"

"It doesn't matter, it's really okay to be busy in vain, but if there is a follow-up to the things that make Miss Chen go crazy, won't it add more victims?

Just as the two servants were discussing, Su Fang, who had fallen asleep, woke up with a scream, she picked up the quilt, and couldn't stop her tears: "Chen Yao, I'm sorry...... It's all because of me...... I hurt you......"

The sobbing continued all night.

……

Early in the morning of the second day, after the morning exercise, Ziyun and Zhuge Leng acted separately. Ziyun went to the tavern and Zhuge Leng went to the market.

The tavern in Shiqiao Town is built near the lake, where you can not only enjoy the lake view while drinking, but also eat fresh yusheng. Business wasn't too good early in the morning, but some older people passed by and ordered some steamed dumplings with millet porridge.

Ziyun is a fresh face, and the little second brother said enthusiastically: "The guest officer looked at Yansheng, he just came to Shiqiao Town." ”

Ziyun said with a smile: "I was a scholar who traveled to study, and I was only going to rest for one night with my domestic servants, but seeing the pleasant scenery here, I wanted to stay for a few more days." ”

Ziyun's dress is not very luxurious, but it is also clean and tidy, plus he carries a long sword. Don't say that the world is chaotic now, even in the past, carrying a long sword was also the standard for the children of the family, they may not really use it, but there must always be style.

As soon as he heard the praise of the outsiders, the second brother immediately became honored: "Guest officer, you are right, who doesn't know that our Lingjing Lake has beautiful scenery and delicious fish......

Ziyun just listened at first, and then he suddenly asked, "Little second brother, I heard that there was a disaster in the local area this year ago?"

"No, where did you hear about it?"

"A classmate once told me that the scenery here is good, but a year ago there seemed to be a lot of noise, it seems that I made a mistake, I should ask him when I go back. ”

"Oh, I remember, if it's a movement, there seems to have been an earthquake in the mountains a year ago, but the town didn't have much impact, so people didn't care. But if you think that since it can affect the town, no matter how small the movement is, the earthquake on the mountain is also huge, and this is not false. Maybe your classmate really caught up. ”

"Perhaps, the earthquake didn't seem to be big. Seeing that this little second brother didn't take this matter to heart at all, it can be seen that even if there is an earthquake, the impact on the town is minimal, maybe everyone is about to forget about it.

"It's really not big, many of us here don't feel it, but the people who are keeping vigil and playing the watch outside vaguely feel shaking. Later, everyone went into the mountain and found a few landslides, and nothing else. ”

"Oh, that's right. By the way, I still want to ask one more thing, little second brother. ”

"Guest, you ask. ”

"That's right...... My classmate didn't tell me before, you still have this kind of thing here!" Ziyun pretended to be scared and told the crazy woman about the slashing of people yesterday.

The little second brother sighed and said, "It seems that the guest officer's classmate did come a year ago, and this is a long story......

Ziyun smiled: "It's okay, anyway, I'm free at this time, you can give me something to eat first, I want to hear it too." "Let's throw out a dozen big bucks.

The little second brother smiled: "Okay, wait a minute, the guest officer, I'll give it to you." ”
