When I returned to the inn, it was already dawn, the golden sun pierced through the clouds and soared high in the sky, and the rays of sunlight on the horizon sprinkled down, giving the noisy town a layer of golden light, which was dazzling.

The inn's red bean porridge and meat buns have always been famous, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going, and the lobby is almost full. The two of them walked into the inn with a smile and a smile, and the shopkeeper who found it first hurriedly greeted him, and finally found an empty table in the corner, and hurriedly beckoned the two to sit down.

"Are you going out at night?" asked the shopkeeper casually.

The mountain is foggy, and it is inevitable that the mountain road will be stained with mud and dew when going down the mountain, but the clothes of Shao Huan and Si Ming are spotless, and it doesn't look like they went out at night, but they just came back from outside, and it is inevitable that the shopkeeper will ask this question.

Si Ming was obviously in a good mood, and let out a low "um", which was considered to be a response.

"No wonder Little Morning went to call the two, but no one answered. The shopkeeper poured two cups of hot tea and put them in front of the two, smiling as much as ever.

Shao Huan looked around, supported his cheek with one hand, and stared at the shopkeeper with a smile: "Little second brother, the business in this store is good, there are so many people in the morning." ”

"That's it. As soon as he heard the praise, the shopkeeper immediately came to his senses, and said that it was called an eyebrow dance, "Don't say anything else, just talk about the buns in our store, there is no one who doesn't know about ten miles and eight towns, and there are many repeat customers." ”

Although this is a bit louder, the store is also full of people. And the buns and porridge here have also been eaten, well, although it is not as good as Qiwu's craftsmanship, but it is indeed delicious.

She smiled coquettishly, and waved her slender jade arm lightly: "Then I will serve a cup of red bean porridge, a plate of meat buns and a few dishes as usual." ”

"Okay!" the shopkeeper happily responded, and hurriedly passed the word to the kitchen door.

Shao Huan and Si Ming glanced at each other, and they both smiled very tacitly.

There were many customers in the store, or groups of three or five eating at the same table, occasionally talking to each other, and then someone from the side echoed, and before they knew it, the voice became louder, and some conversation naturally came into the ears of Si Ming and Shao Huan.

"Hey, you've heard, there were dead people in West Lane last night, and I heard that there were still two young girls. A middle-aged man-like man turned his head sideways and said to one of his peers, but he didn't want to be a little loud, but he immediately got the echo of the other table.

"Yes, yes. The two who died were the girls in the pillow incense building, one was called Mei'er, and the other was called ...... Uh, by the way, it's called Yingying. ”

"I heard that it was taken away by a man who came to Pillow Xianglou to find happiness last night, but I didn't expect to come back this time. The man touched his lips and sighed, "It's a pity that the two girls are beautiful." But when he was found, he was lying naked at the mouth of the alley, with several cyan marks on his body, and he died miserably. ”

As soon as these words came out, they attracted the echo of the people around them. Everyone sighed, and they didn't know whether it was the pity of the two women, or the cruelty of the angry perpetrators.

Shao Huan listened to it word for word in his ears, and his delicate face turned white for a while. looked at Si Ming, who had just moved her mouth, but Si Ming made a silent gesture and motioned for her to continue listening.

Sure enough, someone immediately opened his mouth: "Don't say it, I don't know what evil happened to our town recently, and there are dead people one after another." No, something happened to the youngest daughter of Wu Yuanwai in Liuxiang. ”

"Wu Yuanwai's daughter also had an accident, why have you never heard anyone talk about it?" At this time, the shopkeeper also came with a pot of hot tea, and when he heard these words, he also opened his mouth in surprise.

"Not really. I saw that the man seemed to look around vigilantly, and then lowered his voice a little, "It is said that he had an accident two days ago and died in his boudoir." When he was found the next day, he didn't know an inch, and before he died, he seemed to have been insulted and then violent, and there was no good land on his body. ”

"Where did you hear about this, don't make it up to deceive people. There was a sigh, and a questioning voice sounded.

The shopkeeper also echoed: "Yes, don't stain the innocence of other girls, that's not good." ”

"How can it be made up, this is something that a little girl in Wu Yuanwai's mansion said unintentionally. Wu Yuanwai's youngest daughter is only sixteen years old this year, and she has never been married to anyone, and she was suddenly poisoned, and she died so miserably, it is not good to hear it out. That's why I have been deliberately suppressed by Wu Yuanwai. ”

After such an explanation, it is even more believable. After all, the big family pays the most attention to reputation, and a good daughter died in the boudoir after being insulted for no reason, and she has never found who is the murderer, and it is not good to spread it.

"What kind of evil has happened to our town, not long ago there has been a young man who died suddenly, and in recent days there have been flower thieves who have been haunting you, it's really ...... Alas!" the shopkeeper sighed heavily, and the tea splashed out of the cup in a distracted manner, and after waking up, he hurriedly wiped it for the guests and apologized.

"In my opinion, it doesn't look like a flower thief, but like a demon. ”

The words immediately shocked the people present.

"I think it's like, since ancient times, how can there be flower thieves who kill people after picking flowers, most of them are really monsters. If you don't believe it, isn't it strange a few days ago? Even the old gentleman on the street said that it was a vision, and I am afraid that it would be a great disaster. ”

Everyone, you say a word, and the winner even proposed to ask everyone to pool money to invite a mage to catch a demon or something, in short, there was a mess of coaxing and shouting, so it was not lively.

Shao Huan moved the stool and sat down beside Si Ming, secretly pulled his sleeve, and asked in a low voice: "Si Ming, what is a flower thief? Is it also a crime to pick flowers in the mortal world?"

Si Ming almost squirted out a mouthful of water, and he hurriedly wiped it with his sleeve: "The flower thief doesn't mean to pick flowers for crimes." ”

"What's that?"

"This ......" Si Ming was speechless, and he didn't know how to respond for a while, but after thinking about it, he organized the wording, "There are always descriptions of beautiful women like flowers in a fallen city, and flower thieves are snitches who covet the beauty of young women, steal incense and jade, and corrupt women's chastity. ”

Shao Huan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, looked at Si Ming, but said with a smile: "In short, Si Ming will not be a flower thief, right?"

Si Ming was stunned, then his face turned red, and he responded with a little embarrassment, "Yes." ”

Shao Huan smiled with satisfaction, grabbed a plate of steamed buns brought by the shopkeeper and feasted on it. Si Ming stared at her, only shaking his head helplessly.

There was a lot of talk in the inn, but Si Ming was afraid that Shao Huan would be embarrassed by listening to some nondescript words, so she only allowed her to take a few mouthfuls of porridge, and dragged her back to the room. When he was taken away, he still didn't forget to pick up a fragrant meat bun.

Si Ming pushed open the door with one hand, entered the room with Shao Yan in the other, and then closed the door with his hand.

Shao Huan was already a head shorter than him, and his strength was not as great as his, and being carried like this was like lifting a little chick. When he landed and stood firmly, he hurriedly devoured the two buns in his hand, without any ladylike image at all.

Si Ming walked to the table and sat down, his slender knuckles tapped on the table very regularly, as if he was pondering something, but he was speechless for a while.

Shao Huan on the side finally swallowed the two buns, but he almost choked because he was too dry, and he hurriedly poured a glass of water to press, which was a lot more comfortable.

Suddenly, he didn't see Si Ming's voice, Shao Xian turned his head sideways to look at him, but he didn't know what he was thinking, so he raised a jade arm and shook it in front of his eyes, and Si Ming came back to his senses.

"What's wrong?" Si Ming said blankly.

"I asked you what's wrong. What do you think about it so distractedly, even the morning meal is not delicious, really. Shao Huannunu mouthed, as if he was not very satisfied with what he had just done, and even if he lifted her up like a chick, why didn't he let people finish the meal. Shame on wasting, shame on you!

Si Ming didn't seem to be in the mood to joke with her, and he only kept repeating the conversation between those people in his ear, which really made him feel uneasy.

Shao Huan also noticed it, and after thinking about it for a while, he guessed a few points: "Are you thinking about what those people said just now?"

Si Ming nodded: "I always feel that this thing is strange. ”

They had first come to the town to recuperate from their injuries, but then decided to stay because there were hidden ghasts there. There are also many ghasts encountered along the way, but they are all neatly sucking spirits or praying for self-preservation on mortals, such as the male corpse I saw last night. If you want to talk about the ghast picking flowers...... But it is still unheard of and unseen.

It's just that they didn't expect that they went to Yizhuang last night, but they didn't expect that there would be deaths in the town, but they changed from men to women. Can be insulted and then violent...... Not quite like a murderous ghast.

"Didn't you say that it was done by the flower thief, so what's so strange?" Shao Huan turned his head to look at Si Ming, unable to understand why he cared so much about this matter. After all, there are rules in the Nine Heavens, and immortals can't interfere in the affairs of the world by themselves, let alone the immortals who live in the world or the lives of mortals, so they shouldn't interfere in it.

"I've always felt that this matter must have something to do with ghasts. Si Ming's face became extremely solemn, and he even always felt that although this was not like the ghast's technique, it must have been done by the ghast, but when it came to coming up with conclusive evidence, he couldn't come up with it at all.

"But what if it's not a ghast?" Shao Huan asked rhetorically, "Si Ming, we can't interfere with the lives of mortals, if the Nine Heavens know about it, you will be punished." ”

Xiaoyaojian is not under the jurisdiction of the Nine Heavens, and the Emperor of Heaven can't control the people in Xiaoyaojian, but he is not too worried, even if she has a big disaster, there is only the master who can really have the right to punish her and dare to punish her. But Si Ming is different, he is an immortal who is cultivating the Eight Classics, a person from the Nine Heavens.

Si Ming also knew that he did not intend to interfere in the affairs of mortals, but if this matter was done by a ghast, he could not stand idly by.

"Shao Huan, after thinking about it, I decided to find out, in case it was really a ghast. After pondering for a while, Si Ming finally made a decision.

Shao frolicked his eyes and lowered his head, but his heart inadvertently biased his life. After thinking about it, he suddenly had a plan: "Alas, we can come and lure the snake out of the hole!"
