Chapter 6 Night Exploration of Yizhuang
In the depths of the night, the blue sky shone with stars, a cold wind blew, white snowflakes fell, and the roofs were dyed with a thin layer of white, dotted with green branches on the trees, changing to pure colors, and drifting with the wind to every corner.

It was the first time I've seen snow since I grew up, a sight I had never seen in a southern winter, with falling snowflakes attached to my eyelashes, rubbing my hands back and forth, and exhaling a hot breath in my palm, this snow was falling so strangely.
Xiao Tian stood silently behind the night withered grass, and said with emotion: "This snow is really not at the right time, it seems that there is a grievance!" ”
"Shall we still rob corpses?" The night withered grass lazily asked, touching the snow on the steps with his toes, cold and cold, covering a shy expression.
Xiao Tian couldn't help but stretch out his hand, and when he helped her red face, he stopped his hand, shook his sleeve, and pretended that nothing had happened and said, "Thief, leave now." The actual action was faster than the words, dragging the night withered grass that was still looking at the snow to speed up, not daring to look at her again.
The dark and secluded path, rarely entered, overgrown with weeds, the wind whistled, with goose feathers and heavy snow, and a few puffs of hot smoke came out of his mouth from time to time. A seemingly small house, with two paper lanterns hanging in front of the door, the outer layer of oiled paper is tattered, the candlelight flickers slightly, the old broken bricks and tiles, and the upper layers of spider silk are interlaced on the beams, and the environment is dim and damp.
The humble wooden planks were placed with hundreds of corpses in Yizhuang, their uncovered arms resting on the outside, and buzzing flies surrounding the white cloth and refusing to leave, all unclaimed or unidentified.
A rancid smell hit, colliding with the taste buds, and the night withered grass, who couldn't stand the smell, pinched his nose and shook his body, forcibly restraining his urge to escape.
"We'll split up." Xiao Tian dropped the words and went to the far right to look at the corpse under the white cloth.
The night withered grass's head rumbled, as if it was struck by lightning, and said tremblingly: "Don't share ...... with me" The voice echoed in Yizhuang.
In the cold Yizhuang, there was a strange sound, as if there were many footsteps coming, and it was silent for a while.
The night withered grass hand shook uncontrollably, hesitating to uncover the corpse under the white cloth in front of him, his eyes closed, his thumb and forefinger pinched the corners of the cloth, and after turning it over, he immediately closed it in less than a second, screaming: "Ghost! Rushing to the right, hugging Xiaotian's waist tightly, like holding a life-saving straw, he resolutely refused to let go.
Xiaotian was frightened by the startled night withered grass, and helplessly tore away the hands that were holding his waist, and said seriously: "Let go, what do you say I want you to do?" Hurry up and get down to business, it's getting snowy outside. ”
Night Withered Grass looked back at him as she retreated to the left, clasped her hands together, and said silently: "Auntie, you manifest yourself!" I'm going to go crazy if you look for it like this, and if you hear what I'm saying, you'll automatically open the white cloth. As soon as the words fell, a white cloth was blown away by the wind in front of him, and the candlelight flashed in the dim lantern, like an unextinguished candle flame, and a ruined face was revealed, and the goose-yellow maid suit, this person was the one who fell into the city that day, and his heart was happy and afraid.
Excited, he came to Xiaotian's side and said ecstatically, "I found the corpse, right there!" As soon as his hand pointed to the fifth in the first row on the left, the corpse next to him began to smoke for no reason, and the raging fire seemed to be mad, scurrying around with the wind, devouring everything with impunity, and the red flames were like an arrogance, painting everything black everywhere it went.
Cough! Cough! The night dry grass choked on the smoke and was extremely uncomfortable. It's just fine, there must have been someone deliberately setting it on fire, and the body must be transported out safely, and there must be a lot of articles inside.
Seeing that things were not good, Xiao Tian picked up the corpse that was about to be spread by the fire, broke out, tapped the ground with both feet, spun around, dodged the sparks falling from the beams, kicked the wooden blocks under his feet, and transported the corpse out safely.
The night withered grass covered his nose, trapped in the middle of the fire, the roof had been in disrepair for many years, a big hole had collapsed, the tiles crackled and fell, there was no time to dodge, the tiles smashed to the back, and the pain pushed away the miscellaneous trees in front of him, and called weakly: "Help!" ”
Xiaotian found that she was missing behind him, so he put the body lightly, leaned against a big tree, and turned back to save people. The fire burned up to the roof like a fire dragon, with thick smoke and scorching heat, mixed with wanton whistling, which had covered the entire Yizhuang, and it was impossible to see the situation inside, and shouted loudly outside the door: "Where are you? He shouted as he pushed away the pile-up of miscellaneous trees.
The night withered grass replied weakly: "In this ......" used her last strength to push down the wooden strip in the middle, and took a few steps back.
Xiaotian heard it, snapped, and vaguely saw the crooked figure of the night withered grass swaying in the fire, rushing in with the fire, catching the fallen people, holding them in his arms and breaking through again, this time not so lucky, the exit was blocked by the fire, and the fire had cut off all the ways to get out.
Seeing that Yizhuang was about to be engulfed by the fire, a powerful qigong outside penetrated the left, and an invisible white light appeared in the air, and the flames gradually became smaller, clearing a way without fire, and stones and miscellaneous trees flew out a meter away, hahaha...... Hearty laughter spread throughout Yizhuang.
A familiar voice came into Xiaotian's ears, and the heart he was carrying finally fell, and he hugged the unconscious night withered grass in his arms, and easily brought it out from the fireless road.
Xiaotian jokingly said: "Jingshan, it's really time for you to come, and then one corpse and two lives later." ”
Jingshan said proudly: "I don't see you stealing a corpse for so long, don't worry about coming and seeing!" With your martial arts still embarrassed like this, this little white face has fallen again? "Pick up the corpse under the tree, and lead the way in front of you.
The night withered grass's face was stained with gray and black powder, and he struggled restlessly in Xiao Tian's arms, and pouted, "Let me go." His hands slapped his chest, and he tickled his lower back.
Xiaotian didn't move at all, hugged the person in his arms tighter, switched the way he carried the princess, and jumped up with a light footstep, no matter how the night withered grass tossed, he was indifferent.
Jingshan carried the corpse back to the mansion, according to the pre-arranged hour, carried the corpse into the rice unspecified wing, poured hot water into the large wooden barrel, and filled it with strange and strange tadpole-like species, took out a small bottle, dripped into the water, squeaked, dyed red and clear hot water, the corpse was slowly put into the wooden barrel, the rancid smell on the corpse disappeared shallowly, a smell of potion filled the corpse, and the surface of the skin showed red, yellow and white markings.
Dao has not yet shown the signs of the corpse, and analyzed: "She was poisoned before she died, this poison is very strange, only the soil of Changsco Ancient Village can cultivate mulberry flower poison, and the murderer must be inseparable from Changlao Ancient Village." ”
Jingshan gave a thumbs up, and the teachable said, "You continue to check, I'll go and see how Xiaotian and Xiaobai are doing first." ”
The noisy sound in the courtyard of the mansion, Jing Shan greeted him, and when he saw such a scene, the night withered grass hung upside down on Xiaotian's shoulder, and she bit it hard, he let go of the person hanging upside down on his shoulder, threw it directly on the snow, and hurriedly walked to the study.
Jingshan came over and picked up the night withered grass sitting on the snow, she just stood up and pushed it back to the snow, and said with satisfaction: "Xiaotian is mine." After saying that, he walked to the study.
I thought that Jingshan had a good conscience of the night withered grass, but as a result, he suffered a dumb loss, and he was so angry that he scolded: "What kind of person is this, quality!" Diathesis! Touching his back, he felt a twitching pain in his back, stumbled up from the snow, and walked to the wing.
In the study, sandalwood burns quietly, and the aroma is ethereal and gives people a calming effect. Jing Shan diligently helped Xiaotian pinch his shoulders and beat his back, and said hintly: "Don't be angry, that little white face doesn't know how to lift, isn't this still me by your side!" His left hand was placed on the palm of his right hand.
Xiao Tian sensitively withdrew his right hand, the red liquid in the palm of his hand was moist, he smelled it with his nose, the smell of blood, and asked suspiciously: "Jingshan, are you injured?" ”
Jing Shan glanced at his palm inexplicably, made sure that there was nothing on his hand before, and asked rhetorically: "I touched the blood stain on your right palm, is it left by the corpse?" ”
The blood stains were distinctly colored, showing no signs of drying, even if they were left behind by corpses. Thinking back to the incident of the uprising, could it be that she was injured, not good!
In order to avoid him, Xiaotian deliberately said: "Jingshan, you go and see if there is anything you need help with, I'll go find the dry grass." ”
The screen in the wing room is transparent and delicate, and from a distance, these clusters of flowers are blooming brightly, as if they are competing for beauty, but they don't know that there is a spring light behind; Looking at this screen closely, the carving is so detailed that people can't help but think about it. On the back of the screen, the night withered grass faded its coat, leaving only the gauze wrapped in the chest, and the medicine powder was sprinkled on the back with difficulty, crispy and numb like countless ants gnawing, itchy and painful, the whole person felt irritable, and accidentally pushed to the screen.
Bang -
Xiao Tian pushed the door in a panic and asked worriedly, "What happened?" The eyes saw her picking up her clothes in a panic and putting them on her body, her head was on fire, it's over! Retreat to the door and close it gently. With a bang, an object slammed into the door, and a roaring voice came from inside: "Damn! ”
Night withered grass scolded and cursed all kinds of anger, and this girl actually broke in without even knocking on the door. After tidying up the wound, changing clothes, pushing open the door with a probe, and finding that there was no one outside the door, he walked out with confidence.
"Where are you hurt?" A voice of concern came from overhead. Night Withered looked up, it turned out that he didn't leave, but ran on the roof, and said angrily, "You come down for me." ”
Xiaotian shrugged helplessly, jumped off the roof, and changed the subject: "Don't you want to know the result of the corpse?" I think there's an answer now. One sentence diverted the previous embarrassment.
"Really? Then don't take me with you. The voice of the night withered grass softened a lot, and she completely forgot what had just happened.
When the two came to the outside of the wing, they saw Jingshan waiting outside the door, and the night withered grass wondered, "What are you doing standing at the door?" ”
Jing Shan couldn't wait to tear the mouth of the little white face, and replied dissatisfiedly: "As far as your little white face is concerned, it is a female corpse, what am I doing with this loose clothes and untying work?" stained the eyes of this grandfather. ”
"Oh! Forget you're a man, so I'll give you a hand! How can she lift alone. After the night withered grass finished speaking, she pushed the door open and entered.
Dao has not yet seen a focused face, busy with the matter at hand, no time to care about who came in, is untying the corpse's clothes, carrying it to the prepared sack, the corpse is covered with white powder, and finally tied the rope tightly to the mouth of the sack, raised his eyes to the night withered grass and stared at the round eyes, the sides of his cheeks were red, and said embarrassedly: "You...... You can't see everything, do you? ”
Yes! A scream, the night withered grass who suddenly realized finally remembered that she was still a woman dressed as a man, except for Xiaotian, they didn't know that I was a daughter, this scene didn't seem right, consciously exited the door, gently closed the door, took a few steps back, hit Jingshan's arm, turned his head to look, his face obviously showed how perverted I am, who told me how to end.
Dao Weiming pushed open the door, gave the night withered grass a step down, and explained: "Actually, it's nothing, aren't all men investigating the case?" I haven't seen any scenes, so ......"
Before Inami finished speaking, Night Dry Grass gratefully stepped forward to hold her hand as a token of gratitude, and a happy smile was on her face.
Dao has not yet smiled awkwardly, and he doesn't know how to continue.
Jing Shan couldn't look at it, pulled away the hand of the night withered grass, calmed his face, and said with a displeased expression: "I said that your little white face has a really strong taste, and you can kill people and ghosts, right?" Is there a little difference between men and women, don't you see that other girls don't want to? ”
Xiao Tian came to the round, blocked between the two, and said politely: "It's getting late, let's rest early!" It's not too late to discuss something tomorrow. There is a lack of wings in the mansion, and the corpses are put in again, so be it! The girl lives in the dry grass room, which is relatively clean, and the girl will move in after the west wing is cleaned tomorrow, and a few of us will sleep in the inn tonight, so don't worry too much about us. ”
With a puzzled face, the night withered grass pointed to herself and asked, "Do I want it too?" ”
Jingshan hurriedly replied: "Isn't this nonsense? What are you thinking about your little white face? ”
Night Dry Grass glanced at Jing Shan, stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar, his eyes widened angrily, his eyebrows were raised, his hair stood on end, and a harsh voice erupted from his mouth: Did I mess with you? Every time you raise the bar with me, you don't talk and no one is dumb for you. ”
The more Jingshan listened, the more angry he became, his whole body trembled, his face was blue and he was holding his breath, afraid of inflicting his anger on others, and stomped his feet back and forth in place, the depression in his heart was as heavy as a mountain, and he wanted to calm down Bai Ji.
The two stood back to back, Xiao Tian stood in the middle, looked at the two of them in embarrassment, and persuaded bitterly: "You guys just made a fuss about this little thing, do you want to do tomorrow's big thing?" After speaking, he covered his forehead and sighed.
Feeling ashamed of his childish behavior, Iyama came to Xiaotian's side, looked at the ground and bowed his head silently.
Night Withered turned around embarrassedly and looked at them standing across from them. When I was at my most depressed and most in need of help, it was they who took me in, but it was really not worth it to fall out over this little thing.
Jingshan took the initiative to apologize to the night withered grass, and the two reconciled.
