Chapter 59: The Night Maiden
Qin Zheng looked at the steady stream of floating corpses floating in the upper reaches of the river, as well as the blood that almost dyed the river red, he frowned, he counted, there were a total of eighteen corpses, there were men and women, old and young. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
From the bloody wounds on their faces, they were all cut wounds, they were infinitely cut to death by something very thin, such a thin incision...... It's like a wind knife.
The reason why he could recognize the wind knife was because he had seen similar wounds, when Lin Xiyu and Huwei were fighting in the deserted city before, many Huwei gang's bodies were cut out of the wounds of exhaustion, and they didn't know it.
Lin Xiyu also once told him that the wind is very light and thin, and many times it hurts you, but you haven't felt it yet, it hurts people invisibly, and the wind is over there......
Qin Zheng glanced at Feng Chime, who also found out about this situation, and then drove the carriage up the river, upstream of the river, not knowing what was going on.
Not long after they marched, they saw some villagers carrying baskets on their backs, thick ropes tied around their waists, and long bamboo poles in their hands, hustling over them, one by one running out of breath, and their eyes were fixed on a few corpses on the river.
They were supposed to be here to salvage the bodies, but the water was too fast, so they chased them all the way here.
Several young people gasped and continued to chase after them, and several old men were already sitting on the ground, constantly fanning the wind with their hands, and touching the sweat with the sweat towel on their shoulders, obviously too tired to do it.
Qin Zheng stopped the car, took out the kettle from the space, got out of the car, handed the water to the old men, and asked by the way, "What's wrong?"
The old men glanced at Qin Zheng very gratefully, took the kettle and poured it violently, and then passed it to each other to drink, and one of them said, "In our village, the rich man's family of eighteen was killed, although the rich man is not very kind on weekdays, the child and the girl are innocent, aren't they? ”
Obviously, the rush of this mile is still very difficult for these old men.
"The enemy comes to the door?" Qin Zheng wondered, what kind of hatred, the old man and the child will not let go.
"No, it's the Night Maiden. ”
"Nightmaiden?"
"You don't know the night girl, I've killed several families in the city recently, all of them were destroyed, but I didn't expect to come to our village this time. ”
The old man wiped his sweat, and at this time another old man spoke again, "Although the methods are a little cruel, but the rich man's family really deserves to die, how much money did he swallow us, and he was abducted and deceived on weekdays to bring disaster to the countryside. (Just Love)"
Hearing this, Qin Zheng understood a little, it turned out that there were people who were using the method of killing people and destroying the door to do chivalrous and righteous ......
It is right to be chivalrous, but in a way that he does not approve, it is just a more sinful way to solve sin.
Qin Zheng nodded knowingly and said, "Old man, this kettle will be given to you." ”
As he spoke, he was about to leave, but at this moment, the muttering of an old man behind him made him stop in an instant, and sweat fell from his forehead at once.
I only heard the old man say, "It is said that on the night of the rich man's death, I seemed to see the girl that night, playing with a big fan, and after a few clicks, the rich man's house was silent." ”
Playing with a big fan...... Qin Zheng's face instantly turned from green to white, and then from white to blue, and then turned around and asked, "What did you just say?"
Several old men were taken aback by Qin Zheng's ugly face, and the old man who muttered just now stammered even more, "Boom, boom, ”
"Not that, before that. Qin Zheng's face became heavier and heavier, and Feng Chime's intuition was wrong, so he also stood next to Qin Zheng, and then he was also shocked by the old man's next words.
"I, I seem to have seen that night girl, playing, playing, playing with a big fan, and going down a few times, and there was no sound at the rich man's house. The old man wiped his sweat and swallowed his saliva violently, the eyes of the young man in front of him made him very frightened.
"How big is the fan?"
"Big, it's about that big. The old man jumped up at once, and then gestured, and in any case the fan seemed to be bigger than his own.
"Do you see what it looks like?"
"No, no, she covered her face. ”
"Where is your village?"
"From here, along the river, a mile or so, you can see it. ”
With that, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, for the young man who had made him feel so stressed finally turned back on the carriage and drove in the direction of their village......
In the carriage, Coco and Xiaoqiang have no idea what is going on and are playing a game of guessing boxing.
Qin Zheng and Feng Chime sat in the front of the car speechless, Qin Zheng's mood was very complicated now, when he heard the words big fan, his intuition dragged his thinking to Lin Xiyu, he wanted to see her, but he didn't want to be her.
But when he thought about it, the incisions on the eighteen corpses were so familiar, which had to make him have associations that he shouldn't have.
Maybe it's because he misses her too much? At this time, Lin Xiyu was clearly supposed to be in retreat in the Divine Domain, how could he appear here.
But there was another voice in his head saying to him, if Lin Xiyu was really in retreat in the Divine Domain, why did he untie the chain of love, why did he leave suddenly?
The thoughts and doubts that had been accumulating for months were intertwined, and finally at this moment, they suddenly exploded.
"Qin Zheng. Feng Chime stepped on the car with her legs, clasped her hands on her knees, her chin lightly slammed into her knees, and the long green silk covered half of her face, making it impossible to see her demeanor at this time.
"What's wrong?"
"You and her...... How long has it been since I saw you?"
Qin Zheng's hand holding the reins of the horse suddenly stiffened, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Four or five months." ”
"Oh. Wind Chimes lowered her eyes slightly, and her long eyelashes hid the sparkle in her eyes, "That'...... Do you believe her?"
Qin Zheng was silent for a moment, but still said, "Believe." ”
"Haha. Wind Chimes suddenly laughed, and the crisp laughter like silver bells rushed into Qin Zheng's mind, and the dark clouds that had just made up for it were suddenly washed away, turning into those question marks shining with golden light under the sun.
I saw Feng Chime laughing uncontrollably, and after a while, tears broke out of the corners of her eyes, and finally she simply buried her head in her knees, and I could vaguely hear her suppressed laughter, and see her uncontrollable trembling shoulders.
"What are you laughing at?" Qin Zheng looked confused, it was the first time he had seen Feng Chimes so "out of shape", such a hearty smile, she had never seen it.
Feng Chi'er raised her head with a smile, then wiped her eyes with a smile and said, "I just thought, if I tell Sister Yu'er that you hesitate before this question, what do you think will happen to her?"
Qin Zheng's face became a little strange, and at that moment, he seemed to see the slim girl, standing in front of him with a "sad and angry" face, her hands on her waist, and she asked him, "Qin Zheng, such a simple question, how can you think about it for so long! It's too much!"
Thinking about it, Qin Zheng also laughed, and suddenly had a feeling that he could see the moon when he cleared the clouds, since he chose to always believe in her, why was he so entangled and uneasy before?
Those who use a big fan as a weapon are not only surnamed Lin, but also those who use big fans and are also wind-based, and they are not necessarily from the Divine Domain, which must be just a coincidence.
However, he didn't just think it was a coincidence, he knew that the Lin family was not the one who used the fan and the wind, it was not him Qin Zheng alone, but the entire Soul Martial Continent, and now this night girl used this weapon and killed people in this way in such a high-profile manner, was it to achieve some kind of purpose?
And this kind of purpose is what he Qin Zheng does not allow to exist.
As a result, his gaze became more determined, but the path he chose to move forward remained unchanged.
At this moment, the sun was slowly setting from the west, and Qin Zheng's sun seemed to have just risen from his heart.
He said to the wind chimes, "Thank you." ”
Wind Chime smiled and said, "We are...... Friend. ”
What Qin Zheng didn't know was that just after Feng Chime'er finished saying this, she quietly turned her head, and the bright smile was frozen on her face like this, and the tears that were not wiped clean just now were blown to the road behind by the oncoming wind from the corner of her eyes.
Coco just poked her head out of the back window, wanting to see the beautiful scenery of the sunset, she felt a touch of salty wetness, and was blown on her face by the breeze......
Before the afterglow of the setting sun completely dissipated, Qin Zheng and the others finally came to the village in the mouth of those old men, not so much a village, this is already a small town.
The Styx, which is tens of meters wide, forcibly divides the town into two halves, and stone bridges serve as the most important link between the houses of the town.
It's a pity that there are ancient houses, stone bridges, and flowing water, but there are no boats, but with the afterglow of this sunset, it is still a beautiful scenery of a small bridge and flowing water.
But this beautiful scenery still could not be hidden, the pungent blood in the water, the blood had been taken away, but a lot of blood was stained on the stone piers by the river, not yet washed away, a few women were holding cotton cloths, bending over the river, trying to wipe the remaining blood.
As soon as Qin Zheng wanted to step forward to ask, where was the house of the rich man who had been destroyed, he heard a woman scream, and then her whole body leaned forward uncontrollably, and she was about to fall into the river Styx!
(Happy New Year, everyone!)
