Chapter Twenty-Four: The Bloody Case in the Village
"You asked me what I saw?" Feng Shanyue deliberately slowed down her speech, observed Nie Laoba's expression, and saw that his usually gentle face was glowing with a hint of ruthlessness under the reflection of the firelight, and the fierce light in his eyes loomed, and he changed his tone and said, "Fortunately, I didn't see anything." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info just falling off the cliff scared me to death, where can I afford to see anything again?"
Aunt Wang said beside her: "No, this child has suffered a great sin today." If I hadn't said that my waist and legs were always sore, she wouldn't have gone up the mountain to help me pick herbs, and I wouldn't be doing this today. ”
"Are you going to pick herbs? How did you get to the top of the South Peak?"
"Because after I went up the mountain, I remembered that my mother said that there is an herb called ginseng near the top of the south peak, which can bring the dead back to life, but it is very difficult to find, and I want to try my luck. ”
"I see!" Nie Laoba smiled very kindly, "Then you must be careful in the future, don't go to a dangerous place like the South Peak." ”
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Village. ”
Nie Laoba smiled, glanced at Ah Bao meaningfully, and then said goodbye and went back. Feng Shanyue also took Po home. She bet that Nie Laoba would definitely go to the top of the South Peak overnight to check the situation of the Blood Sacrifice Cave, and then she would see the move.
Back at home, Feng Shanyue arranged a place for Ah Bao, came to the door by herself, and recited the ghost summoning mantra taught by Linghu, and soon, Lian Cui came to her.
"You called me here in such a hurry, is there any progress in saving us?" Lian Cui asked anxiously.
"It's also progress," Feng Shanyue recounted what happened in the mountains today, and asked again, "Do you know that Blood Sacrifice Cave?"
Lian Cui frowned and thought for a while, "I don't remember! I don't know what's going on, I always feel like I've forgotten a lot of things, maybe I forgot about the Blood Sacrifice Cave!"
Feng Shanyue guessed that Nie Laoba might have used some tricks on Lian Cui and them, so that they didn't have a complete memory, and they couldn't ask anything famous if they asked like this. She asked Lian Cui to come, in addition to asking about this matter, there was one more thing to discuss.
"Lian Cui, Nie Laoba will soon find out that I have entered his Blood Sacrifice Cave, and he will find a way to deal with me next. If you still want me to help you, you have to promise me one thing. ”
"What's the matter?" you say. ”
"Come here and listen to me. ”
Feng Shanyue was tired for a day, and by the time she got up the next day, it was already three poles in the sun. She finished dressing and was washing in the yard when she suddenly heard Aunt Wang's panicked voice.
"March, March, come on, something's wrong!"
Feng Shanyue hurriedly opened the courtyard door and came out to greet Aunt Wang, "Auntie, what's wrong?"
"Something happened in the village! Dead!" Aunt Wang looked very flustered.
"Dead, who died?" Feng Shanyue was also surprised.
"Lan Ye of the Nie Thirteen Family, only sixteen years old, a flower-like girl, died tragically like this. Those spies in the country are really not human. ‘”
"What's the matter? Caught the murderer? Is it a spy from Ma Fangguo?"
Aunt Wang shook her head, "Where can I catch it?" The village chief said that the spy killed someone and ran away. Our village is close to Ma Fangguo, and the mountain behind us is Ma Fangguo. In previous years, when our Fire Phoenix Kingdom had not yet turned against the Ma Fang Kingdom, a road had been opened on this mountain to facilitate the two countries' exchanges! Now that the two sides have been fighting for so many years, this road has been broken. ”
"How does the village chief know that it is a spy sent by Ma Fangguo?"
"This ......" Aunt Wang didn't seem to think about this problem, as if as soon as the village chief said that he was a spy of Ma Fangguo, everyone believed it, and no one doubted it, "The village chief is so well-informed, can he still talk nonsense?"
Feng Shanyue shook her head with a smile, said goodbye to Aunt Wang, and was about to go to wake up Ah Bao, and then go to see the murder scene together, she had a hunch that this might be the opening scene of Nie Laoba dealing with herself.
Who knew that Ah Bao was not in the room, and searched for it in front of and behind the Fengshan Yue House, but there was no one, "This kid, where did he run early in the morning?"
Suddenly, the gate of the courtyard was slammed, and someone was shouting: "Open the door, open the door, hand over the murderer!"
Feng Shanyue opened the courtyard gate and saw a group of angry villagers surrounding the door, all holding sticks, stone axes and other weapons in their hands, and their faces were full of anger. In addition to anger, Nie Shisan, who was the leader, had irrepressible grief on his face.
"Grandfathers and uncles, what's the matter?" Feng Shanyue saw this posture and hurriedly greeted enthusiastically.
Nie Shisan's eyes erupted with anger, and he leaned on the crutches in his hand, "You are embarrassed to ask, quickly hand over the murderer of my daughter! I want him to pay for his life!!"
"How can I have the murderer you said I have here?
"You just brought that werewolf back yesterday, and my daughter Lan Ye was killed last night. He is an outsider in the village, who else could he have done if he hadn't done it?" Nie Shisan was very excited, and the crutches in his hand kept crutches.
"It's just speculation, have any of you seen him kill with your own eyes?"
"What the village chief said, can it still be fake?"
"Did the village chief see it with his own eyes?"
The villagers have always been very convinced of Nie Laoba, so they never question his words, and naturally they don't know if the village chief has seen the murderer with his own eyes.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Feng Shanyue knew that Nie Laoba was behind the scenes, "In this case, you can take me to see the corpse." ”
"No, hand over the murderer first. Otherwise, what if he takes the opportunity to slip away as soon as we leave?" the villagers brandished their weapons and shouted loudly, very emotional.
Feng Shanyue opened the door of the courtyard, "I want to say that he is not here, you must not believe it." But Po is really not at home. I woke up in the morning and was gone. Go in and find it for yourselves. ”
Two villagers actually went in to look for it, and when they came back, they shook their heads at everyone. Nie 13 was even more angry, "You accomplice, let the murderer go." I want you to pay for my daughter's life!" he said, raising the cane in his hand.
Feng Shanyue's face did not change, and she stood still in place, "You have to think clearly, whether you want to use my innocent life to calm the anger in your heart, or find the real murderer of your daughter? If it is the former, I have nothing to say, and you don't keep saying that you want to avenge your daughter, because you are just venting your anger by doing this!"
When Nie Shisan heard this, he was also afraid of hurting innocent lives, and the crutches in his hand were slowly put down. He wept and cried aloud, "My poor little daughter, have you lost your life in vain?"
Nie 13 originally had three sons and two daughters, but the three sons were all killed in the war with Ma Fangguo, and the eldest daughter Orchid died a few years ago due to dystocia, leaving only the youngest daughter Orchid Ye, who was regarded as a treasure, but now she is also killed.
"Moon...... Moon?" Po's stammering voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.
