Chapter 16: Dolls

Zhou Fu yawned.

He was in a bad mood.

As a catcher of Huanglong City, at this moment, he should have sat in the wine shop with his colleagues to drink and have fun, talk about the secrets of Hu Zhuchen, or talk about the little beauty that the county magistrate found recently, it is said that she is very popular.

But now, he had to sit on the street with a cold wind, guarding the little bastard in front of him.

A few days ago, a group of bandits attacked Huanglong City, which is actually not a too rare thing in Huanglong City, that group of bandits will come to loot every few months, but the one a few days ago was a little different, among the people who died in that disaster was a guy named Gao Ran.

He is the owner of the largest gambling house in Huanglong City, and he is also the brother of the magistrate of Huanglong City!

Gao Tan, the magistrate of the county who turned a blind eye to those bandits on weekdays, was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, but his brothers, including Zhou Fu, did not know which of the bandits in Huanglongzhai was extremely fierce, and the city also organized several defenses in the early years, although the results were considered to be victories, and many bandits were killed. But the strange thing is that those bandits seem to have practiced some evil arts, and the corpses they leave behind will always disappear within a few days, or even disappear into thin air. The city also reported this matter to Ning Xiaocheng, but there was no reply.

What Gao Tan said was just for show, how could he really provoke the group of ghosts in Huanglongzhai for his younger brother?

It is estimated that now, the magistrate is probably in the clouds and rain with the newly acquired little beauty!

In this regard, he is quite similar to his dead brother, and there have been rumors among their colleagues recently that Hu Zhuchen did not collude with anyone at all, and his wife Xun Manman did not commit suicide in shame because she could not accept Hu Lichen's collusion with the bandits. It is clear that Gao Ran, the younger brother of Gao Tan of Zhixian County, coveted Xun Manman's beauty, took advantage of Hu Zhuchen's outing, insulted him, and then killed people. And Hu Zhuchen didn't know how to know the truth, came to the door with a knife, and was killed by Gao Ran. In order to exonerate his younger brother, Gotham acted in such a drama of a martyr dying for her husband.

But as long as you think about it, you can see how much the flaws are there, after all, Hu Zhuchen is also the head catcher of this Yellow Dragon City, if he doesn't lose his mind, how can he go to the grass and become a coward?

Of course, these things are just rumors among their colleagues, whether it is for their lives or their own errands, no one will announce this matter.

Thinking of this, Zhou Fu's heart was full of anger, thinking that when the shift was changed, he would have to go to the blue and white building to find a girl to vent the fire, such a thought, Zhou Fu was a little impatient, he calculated the time, and it was time to change shifts, why didn't Lao Gu come yet?

Call.

Call.

Zhou Fu blew hot air into his hands, secretly feeling that today's Huanglong City was extremely cold and cold, but he secretly cursed Lao Gu who should have come here to change shifts a long time ago.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and Zhou Fu, who was sitting on the corner of the street, looked up, but saw two figures, a man and a woman, coming from nowhere, and the thin boy actually walked straight to the rope where the little bastard was hanging.

Zhou Fu stood up, and he didn't know if it was because he had been sitting for too long, his head was a little dizzy, he shook his head to make himself sober, and then he pointed to that place and shouted: "Alas, stinky boy, if you don't want to die, stay away from grandpa!" With his identity, this kind of drinking is enough to scare off those who don't look strange. Although he didn't understand why the magistrate had to spare this guy's life, and he had to hang him in the most conspicuous position in the city, but as the saying goes, a mouth above, a broken leg below, he didn't question the magistrate's ability, so he could only hold back his anger and take care of this guy.

And to Zhou Fu's surprise, the young man didn't seem to have long eyes, but he was much more courageous than ordinary people.

His drinking did not play any role, and the other party stepped forward on his own, not putting his words in his ears at all.

Zhou Fu, who was already piling up anger, was instantly angered by that person's actions, only to hear a crisp sound, the knife on his waist came out of the sheath, stepped forward, and said with a scolding in his mouth: "Stinky boy, look for death!"

......

Long Xiu looked at Wei Lai, who was walking with a gloomy expression, and then at the figure that was hanging high like a corpse hiding from a living person, and realized that this should be the companion in his mouth.

She didn't have time to think about how this guy's companion ended up in such a field, and at the same time as Wei Lai took a step, there was a shout and scolding not far away, and after that, the man took out the shoulder knife on his waist, looking at the menacing posture, it was obvious that the person who came was not good.

"Be careful!" Seeing this, Long Xiu's heart tightened, and he shouted at that time, and was about to pull out the rusty sword on his back to stop the other party.

Shout!

But at this moment, Wei Lai, who was in front of her, raised his hand lightly to the side, only to see his wrist under the cuff flick, and a black light flew out from under his cuff like a poisonous snake, cutting through the thick night.

Yes!

A scream rang out, a bloody light burst out, and the man who had been slaughtering violently retreated, slamming straight against the door behind him, unable to move—and a black dagger pierced his shoulder blade, nailing him to the door.

Long Xiu's sword was half drawn, and he froze in place.

It all happened so fast that she didn't react until the man's second scream rose up. She looked at the boy in front of her in disbelief, and couldn't imagine that the fierce and powerful blow was the result of this boy whom she had always regarded as harmless to humans and animals.

Her head was a little cloudy and she blinked, but by this time Wei Lai had already walked up to his companion and removed the rope that hung from him.

He gently put the flesh and blood blurred person on the ground, there was no anger or sadness in his eyes as Long Xiu imagined, he just moved his gaze calmly on that person's body, and that calmness made Long Xiu ask on the side of his mouth, and swallowed it back alive.

Suddenly, a faint golden light lit up from Wei Lai's body.

The light was soft and warm, and it poured into the other party's body along Wei Lai's body, Long Xiu saw it clearly, and was also dumbfounded, with the influx of the golden light, the breath of the body that was almost out of breath gradually became stronger, and she could clearly feel that the vitality gradually became rich and intense.

This miracle-like method made the unreality that had just risen in the heart of Long Xiufang a little stronger.

Grunt.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva in an extremely frustrated manner, and a faint premonition was born in her heart, the Wei Lai in front of her seemed to be really the Wei Lai she had been thinking about......

Sun Daren woke up slowly: "Ahhhhh

He didn't seem quite sure if the person in front of him was real or just his hallucination, and his tone was weak and uncertain.

"What's going on?" Wei Lai asked, "What happened?"

Sun Daren's body was shocked, and only then did he recover from the dizziness of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, he grabbed Wei Lai's shoulder, and used great force: "Go and save Qingyan!"

......

There are no bandits in Huanglongzhai at all, it is a scam directed and acted by Gao Tan in Zhixian County.

There is also no fact that Hu Zhuchen colluded with bandits, which is Gao Tan's rhetoric to cover up his brother in order to shield his brother.

The former was told to Wei by Miss Long, and the latter was said by the official named Zhou Fu, whose shoulder blade was pierced and coerced by Wei Lai to lead the way.

And Wei Lai was worried about Liu Qingyan's safety, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Long Xiu's angry scolding of the same enemy, or Zhou Fuqu's "heart-washing" that week.

The group went straight to the prefect of the county mansion, and during the whole process, they surprisingly did not meet any pedestrians on the street, and a strange aura spread on the streets of Huanglong City, but Wei Lai also had no idea.

The guards of the prefect's mansion were still drowsy, and the sound of Wei coming woke them up, and then after two flashes of light that was darker than the night, they fell into a deep sleep again, and this time, they could sleep forever.

The prefect's defenses were surprisingly weak, and after taking care of the two guards, the group rushed into the compound without hindrance, and from a candle-lit chamber came the heavy panting of a man, and the woman could not tell whether it was pain or comfort.

This made Wei Lai's face difficult to see to the extreme, his eyes were bloodshot, and the fists under his cuffs were clenched tightly.

He couldn't contain the murderous intent surging in his body.

He stepped forward and kicked the door open.

On the bed in the middle of the room, a fat-covered man was shirtless, stirring like a wild beast.

Wei Lai's eyes were red, the black python fell into his hand, his body jumped out, the black dagger and his body slashed through the air with a cold light, blood splattered, and one of the man's arms was cut off by Qi Gen. Wei Lai could have killed him, but he didn't kill him, obviously, death was too cheap for this guy in front of him, Wei Lai wanted to torture him, and he wanted to unload his flesh and blood one after another! This young man had such a vicious idea for the first time in his life.

The man clutched his wounds and fell to the ground, wailing in the blood spilling out.

Wei Lai didn't look at him at all, but stretched out his hand to pick up the girl who was pressed under him by the man.

His heart was filled with indescribable anger and guilt, but it was so surging that it almost drowned him, he didn't protect her, he failed ......

Wei Lai's thoughts suddenly stopped at that moment, because at that time he saw clearly what was pressed under him by the man......

It's not Qingyan......

Nor any other woman......

It's a doll made up of straw.

Wei Lai's eyes were filled with horror, and he shivered, and a question came to his mind at that time.

What was the moaning of the woman who was still there when he walked into the door just now?
