Nie Shuyao pondered for a moment and said, "It's another group of people." ”

Nie Tianxi said: "Qingshui Village is saying that he is a subordinate of the Leopard Master, and this is all done by the Leopard Master. Originally, he thought that Xiao Peach was sent by the leopard master to connect with him, but he didn't expect that Xiao Peach was not in a group with him. The man called the leopard master, there has been no news since the new year, and the last task he received was to carry out the rumors of the water ghost to the end, and if anyone was not convinced, he could kill to vent his anger. ”

After speaking, he took a longbow from the second artilleryman and said, "Li Zheng has killed a lot of people with this bow and bladeless arrows, and for every person who dies in the village, the villagers' fear of him will be increased by one more point." So that in the end, no one dared to refute whatever he said, but waited for him with delicious food and drink, for fear of making him unhappy and suffering from the retribution of the water ghost. ”

Nie Shuyao took the bow with one hand, the bow body was close to a person's height, I don't know what kind of wood it was made of, it was polished to a black and shiny, and at a glance, he knew that this bow was often used. The bowstring is made of fine beef tendon, which looks rough but is full of toughness.

She doubted: "I heard that there is no one in Lizheng's family, and his family does not have a family background, can he afford such a good bow?" ”

Song Yunfei said: "This bow is really good, not fancy, it looks like it's been around for some years." I heard the villagers say that this is Li Dashan's father's bow, but I don't know why it came into Li Zheng's hands. When Li Dashan's father died, the bow was gone. ”

Nie Shuyao put down the bow and concluded, "Do you need to talk about this? A qiē is all done by the current Li Zheng of Qingshui Village. It's not a pity to die! ”

"Is that really the case?" The stupid girl ran over, grabbed the bow and cried, "This is my master's bow, and it is his lifeline." We thought it was something that we encountered when we went up to the mountain to hunt, but we didn't expect it, we didn't expect it to be ....... ”

"Stupid, your father went to the secret room with the old man, your mother is in confinement, you are the only adult in your family, listen to us, but don't cry loudly, save your mother from feeling sad." Nie Shuyao touched her head and said.

The stupid girl wiped a handful of tears and nodded, "I listen to Miss, I don't cry." ”

She is not pretty, thin like a bean sprout, but her eyes are not small, and she is also very energetic, which adds a little tenacity at this time.

Nie Shuyao is very pleased, the girl in adversity is the most cute. asked, "Stupid, when did your grandmother and your uncle ...... Go? Is it also because of water ghosts? ”

"Yes! It was my uncle who fell into the water first. My grandmother went back to find someone to save him, but no one dared to save him, it was Li Zheng who said that this was a water ghost who was hungry, and if he didn't eat, our whole village would suffer. The stupid girl said with tears on her face again.

"I was sensible by then. I wanted to go up the mountain to find my father and mother and my grandfather to save people, but the people in the village stopped me and didn't let me go. My grandmother went to the river alone to pull my uncle, and I don't know why, my grandmother also fell into it. I was so frightened that I didn't know what had happened, and when I woke up, there were two people missing from my house. ”

Song Yunfei slapped the table fiercely, "It's really worth killing!" I'm going to go down and slaughter that black-hearted Lizheng. ”

Nie Shuyao grabbed him and said, "Come back to me!" You don't have to worry about it. ”

"Oh!" Song Yunfei also sat down obediently, originally still tense, but this will be better than a good baby. Nie Shuyao glanced at him and said, "I still have something to ask you." Stupid, you go down the mountain with Wan'er and see if you can find your family's bones, you ...... Afraid? ”

Stupid thought of the scene when she fell into the water, and what she saw in the water were not bones? Although his face was already pale, he still shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid." Stupid girls are adults in the family, and I should go to this matter, I know them. ”

As he spoke, he began to cry.

"Xi'er, you and Brother Jiang should also follow, just in case."

"Hmm." Nie Tianxi got up, found some food from the kitchen and left.

Feng Wuya, who was on the other side, saw that Nie Shuyao seemed to have something to say to Song Yunfei alone, so he hurriedly pulled the second artillery out of the courtyard, "Second artillery, we don't have any special skills, why don't we go and set a rabbit, it's good to come back." ”

The second cannon nodded: "Well, good." It is better to cut another bundle of grass to feed the horses. ”

Feng Wuya's brows gradually furrowed, this stupid second cannon, he can't forget his horse wherever he goes. Turning his head to look at the courtyard, he also wanted to talk to Nie Shuyao alone!

After they left, Nie Shuyao asked Song Yunfei, "Brother Song, let me ask you, do you know the ...... in the imperial court Is there a bad prince? ”

"What? Bad lord? Song Yunfei's eyebrows furrowed, not understanding why Nie Shuyao asked this. looked straight at her, this look made her face blush and her heart beat, as if Shu Yao had become beautiful again.

Nie Shuyao looked at his appearance at this time, how could he have the slightest hint of smilingness, it was clearly the expression of a weak son, as if he was still a little ashamed. But why did she still think that his squirming appearance was cuter at the beginning?

The two looked at each other like this and slowly digressed.

They didn't know the helplessness of the two little guys who were standing on the side, Lengzi and Song Qing looked at each other again and again, and finally Lengzi was defeated.

"Ahem!" He coughed loudly as a reminder to the two of them to "keep out of sight."

Nie Shuyao took the lead in coming out of the proposition of why she would become a shy son, and then coughed: "Song Yunfei, what are you thinking?" ”

Song Yunfei first glared at Leng Zi fiercely, and immediately changed his smile and said, "What is Shu Yao thinking?" ”

Nie Shuyao said with a smile: "I'm thinking, how did Brother Song become different from before, he didn't look like a man." ”

"Then what does Shu Yao think is a man?"

"You used to be very good, how did you become gentle now?"

Song Yunfei frowned deeply, thinking to himself, it turns out that Shu Yao likes the way I used to be, what was it like before? It seems that everyone can't say it's good, but since Shu Yao likes it, it's good, no matter what others say.

Nie Shuyao didn't expect her unintentional words to make Song Yunfei go further and further on the road of gentleness.

"Ahem!" Lengzi coughed again, and he also felt that their speech at this time was not in accordance with the rules.

Nie Shuyao suddenly came to her senses, thinking, Song Yunfei must not think too much about it. So he coughed again and said, "That, that's all it took the day before yesterday, you are not allowed to tell anyone, understand?" ”

"The day before yesterday, the day before yesterday......, I, I didn't do anything?" Saying that, Song Yunfei's face turned red again.

"Humph!" Nie Shuyao felt that he really wanted to be crooked, and hurriedly kicked him with his foot and said, "Don't think about this in the future, and don't mention it again!" ”

"Oops!" Song Yunfei hurriedly withdrew his foot under the table, and said aggrievedly: "Got it." ”

But his heart is sweet, and he can't wait for Nie Shuyao to kick a few more times. I was afraid that she would be really annoyed, so I hurriedly said, "That, where did we talk about just now?" ”

Nie Shuyao hated the root of his teeth, this guy was really underbeaten, "Speaking of the prince, bad prince!" ”

"Oh!" Song Yunfei smacked his mouth twice, pretending to be contemplative, "It seems that there is no bad prince, those princes in Beijing are not as good as us?" You have to pay attention to the emperor's movements from time to time. If you are not in Beijing, you can't enter Beijing casually, how do you know if it's a bad prince. ”

Nie Shuyao also knew that her question was general, there was indeed a bad prince who wanted to emulate the Yongle Emperor during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, I don't know if this prince is the other prince?

While she was pondering, Song Yunfei started the boring topic again, "...... Shu Yao, I bought a restaurant in Beijing, if you go, I'll sell it to you cheaply. At that time, I will also be able to eat the food of Zhenweiju, do you think about it? ”

"Why did you buy this?" Nie Shuyao was successfully attracted by his topic, it was a matter of time before he entered Beijing, and it was okay to make plans early.

Song Yunfei said: "If there is no restaurant, I can't escape from the capital!" ”

Nie Shuyao understood what was going on as soon as she heard it, she looked up at Lengzi and Song Qing and smiled slightly, she wanted to hear their explanation.

The topic here is warm and relaxed, but there is mourning by the Qingshui River, and a skeleton is taken out of a deep well in Hanoi and placed on the bank of the river, which makes the temperature around it drop by several degrees.

This is a terrible sight, but the villagers are not afraid, there are their relatives here.

The recognizable bones were chosen, and there were family members crying on the side, while those who didn't recognize were still piled aside.

There are nearly 20 of these skeletons, most of which are wearing clothes that have not completely turned into white bones, that is, villagers who have died at the hands of the "water ghosts" in the past two years.

Nie Tianxi felt that it was fortunate that he had brought a toolbox, and he could roughly separate the bones, at least men and women could distinguish them. Stupid was also recognizing the bones, she had found her grandmother's bones, from a silver bracelet. Wan'er comforted her on the side, and even she, a chivalrous woman, felt her scalp tingle in this scene.

The stupid girl cried: "This is my milk, I recognize this bracelet." She often said that this is the heirloom of our family, the female is not the male, there are no other girls in the family, and this bracelet will be passed on to me in the future. ”

"Stupid girl......." Jiang Wan'er also cried, for the first time, she felt that what Nie Shuyao did was beneficial, if the mystery of the water ghost had not been solved, such a tragedy would still be staged. I feel that I am not wronged to follow her to do things!

Nie Tianxi was working hard to sort out the bones, and suddenly shouted, "Stupid girl, come and recognize it." ”

This is a young man's skeleton, which has long been unrecognizable, and many places have exposed the white bones, and it is extremely difficult to identify the original face.

Stupid girl is not afraid at all at this time, because these are all her relatives, if it weren't for Nie Shuyao who saved her, she would also be one of them, and she unconsciously became bolder.

The clothes of this skeleton are still there, and the stupid girl first looks at the corner of the clothes, and she recognizes it from the piece of clothes that was torn into strands, "This is my uncle!" ”

There was a bamboo tree embroidered on the corner of the clothes on his hand, and although it had been soaked in water for nearly two years, it was still vaguely recognizable.

"This is what I embroidered for my uncle! Woo, uncle! The stupid girl lay in Jiang Wan'er's arms and cried.

The bones of relatives have been found, but there is only one murderer, and this person really cannot atone for his sins.

More than one person had this idea, and the angry villagers threw the ruined Lizheng into one of the whirlpool wells, so that he too could taste what it was like to be eaten by the "water ghosts".

As the sun set, the bones that had not yet been recognized were covered with coarse cloth, and people had already lit ever-bright lanterns by the river, rushing into the sky with people's weeping. R1152
