Chapter 91: The Truth of the Twists and Turns (I)
Everyone froze in place, looking at the hidden weapon that fell to the ground. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The second child of the info shop let out a cold snort very unpleasantly, and then took advantage of the fact that the people around him had not reacted for the time being. One turned and jumped from the stairs.
Yan Huiqi was surprised at the same time, waved her hand and prepared to catch up, but who knew that she was stopped by Ming Fan. "It's useless, rely on your feet!" After that, Ming Fan turned his head to look at the innkeeper who was covering his forehead, "Now, can you tell us the facts?" ”
Seeing the escape of the shopkeeper, and Ming Fan's threatening eyes. The innkeeper finally nodded silently. Some of them slowly stood up, moved their bodies and walked to the room and sat down.
"Liar!" When he sat on the chair, the little boy who had been squatting in the corner suddenly raised his head slowly, and said with disgust and hatred.
The innkeeper's body trembled, and finally, he nodded as if he had figured it out, "Yes...... I'm a liar! ”
The onlookers gradually dispersed, but there were still some people left who wanted to know the truth. They kept gathering around Yan Huiqi and shouting to know the truth.
Yan Huiqi noticed the first person in the crowd to leave. He covered his head with a snow-white trench coat, though he didn't see the man's face. However, Yan Huiqi said that she could feel the difference in aura, and this aura was ...... Only for the killers. It is an aura that only a killer can have, cold, ruthless, cruel, and can freeze all the objects around him.
Ming Fan obviously noticed the person as well, however, he just clenched the sword in his hand. Now, he wants to protect not the master. It's just Yan Huiqi, it's just her.
After persuading the crowd to disperse, Yan Huiqi walked into the room. In the room, the light of the candle jumped slightly with the door that Yan Huiqi had closed. The orange circle of light projected on the wall always gives people a sense of ending when the spring silkworm is dead and the wax torch turns to ash and tears begin to dry. The innkeeper looked at the orange aperture and sighed softly.
Ming Fan stood against the wall with his hands crossed, while the little boy continued to squat in the corner, holding himself with both hands, burying his entire head in his arms. There was silence in the room.
Yan Huiqi walked out of the window and opened the window. Suddenly, a gust of wind poured into the room, feeling the coolness of the wind, and the innkeeper raised his head slightly.
After taking a few deep breaths, Yan Huiqi closed the window again, "Just let this room be ventilated, so that it won't be silent and make people feel breathless!" She said lightly, her eyes full of seriousness.
The innkeeper noticed Yan Huiqi's eyes, lowered his head slightly, and sighed again, "What I said is the truth. But it's only partially hidden! ”
Yan Huiqi walked to the innkeeper and sat down, and beckoned to the little boy who was squatting in the corner by the way, asking him to come over.
Picking up the little boy, Yan Huiqi whispered softly in the little boy's ear, "If you are tired, if you want to go to sleep, don't hold on!" The little boy looked at Yan Huiqi and nodded slightly, which was an answer.
The innkeeper looked at Yan Huiqi and the little boy, and turned his head weakly, "People like you who are not afraid of death, it is estimated that there are not many people in the whole Wenzhou, no, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are all gone." There are not a few people who have abandoned their children because of rumors. However, most of the children did not die...... But it fell into the hands of human traffickers! ”
Yan Huiqi looked up at the innkeeper who was staring at the candle in a daze, as if he was atoning for his sins to the gods...... What is it? ”
Blinking, the innkeeper continued to stare at the candle in a daze. "A year ago, there was a fire in the Yamen Mansion. Everyone thought it was strange, saying that it was God's punishment for the Yamen Mansion. But a group of children didn't think so, and yes, I can still remember the scene when the group of children collectively appealed to us. ”
…… The raging fire burned half of the sky red. The children who were playing were also frightened and stood in a corner and did not dare to move. People were fighting the fire, and they were busy passing in front of the children, but no one noticed the child's strange appearance and the fear in the child's eyes. The adults just said to the children and went home!
After the fire was extinguished, the remaining ruins made the crowd standing in place feel a sense of loss. Although I usually hate the Yamen Mansion and taxes. But once the Yamen Mansion was burned, they became six gods and no masters.
That's right, people always don't know how to cherish and don't know how to be grateful. After the real loss, he began to look forward to the emergence of someone who could control his own destiny. The cause of one agitation is gone, and the search for the next one begins.
And all this is just the beginning. The mood of the children is very low, but they only dare to talk around themselves. Then one day, a little girl came to the innkeeper and asked the innkeeper if she knew the truth but didn't tell it, she would be punished! The innkeeper didn't know who said this to the little girl, maybe it was just that her parents wanted to cultivate her good character.
However, if the innkeeper had been chosen, he would rather the little girl never know about it, and not worry about being punished for concealing the facts.
The innkeeper still remembers the little girl's red face and big bright eyes, and the children thought that the innkeeper, who opened an inn on the border and greeted guests from different classes and even different countries every day, would be more knowledgeable and could help them with ideas.
In fact, the innkeeper also helped the children with ideas. At that moment, afterwards, the innkeeper really wished that his throat would burst directly and he would not be able to make a sound. However, it is irreparable.
That's right, if you hide the truth, you will be punished. The punishment will be severe!
So what if I don't have the courage to say it?
Call your buddies, don't you have a lot of buddies? Let everyone accompany you, and when you admit your mistakes, your family will get in the way of everyone's affection and spare you!
The little girl blinked, then laughed briskly.
Well! Thank you, Uncle is so smart! So, I'll go first! ……
……
Really...... Let's go first! Looking at the red-hot candle in front of him, the innkeeper suddenly realized that he couldn't shed even a tear now. Is it drained? At that moment, let's drain it!
The children collectively told their parents that they had seen the people who set fire to the Yamen Mansion. But the adults didn't believe it. At that time, news had already come from the capital that it was a ghost and a god, and every few days, the capital would send some mages to exorcise the ghosts.
However, the children insisted that the fire was set by people, not ghosts! Nine children, nine children huddled together, and shouted and cried in unison not far from the inn, mingling with the scolding and beating of the adults.
In the end, the innkeeper couldn't look at it, so he sent a guy over and asked everyone to come and sit in his inn and calm down. However, taking advantage of this gap, the children who were not trusted by adults and wanted to run away from home angrily held hands and went to the back mountain.
The argument in the shop continued for a long time, and although the innkeeper believed in the children, there were still people who insisted that they should not believe the children......
It wasn't until the smell of burnt trees came from the back mountain that everyone stopped arguing and stood up and walked towards the back mountain.
Another sea of fire...... The red one is desperate, just like the bewitching flowers on the other side of the River Styx are blooming.
The fire claimed the lives of nine children, none of whom survived. When they were found, their bodies were burned so that even their parents could not recognize them. Parents of nine children began to become delirious after the loss of their children.
Every day, there are ghosts, ghosts are haunting. Any child who sees a fire will die!
The people who came to Beijing to exorcise ghosts were not seen for a long time, and the people in Wenzhou City couldn't help but become endangered. When going out, adults will hold the child tightly, and some people even directly place a grounding order on the child.
However, the disaster did not end. Soon, another family was killed in the fire. That's right, everyone, including the newborn babies in the family. A fire, nothing left.
Then, one child after another dies, sometimes along with the child's parents. Everyone began to believe that at this time, the child was unlucky. Some people who are afraid of death even begin to drive away defective children in their own homes. Others took their children directly and flew away.
A large number of traffickers have come to the city, and the innkeeper can clearly realize how many children have fallen into the hands of the traffickers every day when he sits by the window.
He had thought of intimidating traffickers into not approaching the children, but it was useless. The traffickers said that they were born to go to hell, so it was better to enjoy the blessings while they were still on earth.
Although children are accepted every day, the space in the store is limited. Moreover, with the children's inn, people rarely come.
Just when the innkeeper was at a loss, a man appeared like a godsend. He was willing to adopt the group of children, only relatively, in exchange. The innkeeper must be the right and left hand of the man. Help him and let him know all the things he wants to know. At the same time, it also helps him to do all the things he wants to do.
Relieved, the innkeeper went out at night to find the abandoned children, hoping to save them. It's just that this search also made him see unimaginable things.
Child...... It was killed, and after the killing, the killer set a fire and pretended to be a fire. In the darkness of the night, the innkeeper, who was terrified to the extreme, had no way to run out to protect the child, but he had no way to see the man's face.
He told the god-given man the news. However, the man didn't take any action, just told him to remember to keep it a secret. (To be continued.) )
