"Wan'er!"

"Understood." Needless to say than Nie Shuyao said, Jiang Wan'er also knew that Qingshan had to be woken up first at this time.

Not long after, Jiang Wan'er came out with Qingshan in her arms, put him on a stool, and used a small porcelain bottle to move back and forth between the wings of his nose.

Immediately after, Qingshan opened his heavy eyelids, yawned and said, "Sister Jiang, is it dawn?" ”

Nie Shuyao smiled, patted his face and said, "Qingshan, there is a bolt knocking on the door, do you want to open it for him." ”

"Brother Bolt? Where is it? Aoyama immediately came to his senses and stood up at once.

The knock on the door outside was still the same, "Aoyama! ”

Nie Shuyao said: "Did you hear that?" ”

Qingshan took a step forward and ran, "I'll open the door for Brother Bolt." ”

"Wait!" He was stopped by Nie Shuyao in time, carrying the small oil lamp and said, "It's dark outside, let's go together." ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Jiang Wan'er and Jiang Yi, who nodded slightly.

"Xi'er, Brother Song, stay in the house." After finishing the instructions, Nie Shuyao took Qingshan's hand and walked out.

Jiang Yi and Jiang Wan'er walked in the dark, Qingshan couldn't see it, he was all instructed by his sister in his heart, and thought, when he saw Brother Bolt, my sister didn't know if she had anything to say to me.

The lamp is small, the yard is big, and it feels like I have walked for a long time to get to the gate.

Before he got closer, Qingshan shouted, "Brother Bolt, are you here?" ”

Hearing this, the people outside did not knock on the door again and asked, "Are you asleep?" ”

"Well, just went to sleep."

The door creaked open, and Nie Shuyao stood quietly behind the door with a small oil lamp.

The door slowly opened, and the oil lamp was the first to appear under the bolt's gaze. The dim oil lamp illuminated Nie Shuyao's face hazy. There is a sense of unreality.

"Aoyama, let me in."

The bolt raised his foot and walked in, and as soon as his front foot crossed the threshold, just as his back foot was raised, he saw Nie Shuyao. A tremor in my heart, instinctively regarded her as a spirit.

"Who are you?" While the plug drank hard, he pulled Qingshan to the side with his backhand.

Nie Shuyao had already seen his appearance clearly. He only smiled at him and said nothing.

The bolt didn't match his voice very well. He was neither tall nor rugged. With a square face, two thick sword eyebrows made his appearance a little more domineering.

Aoyama pulled the bolt over and closed the door. said: "This is Sister Nie, she passed by our village and wanted to spend the night here, and she also promised to help me find my sister." ”

The bolt is still a little scared, and the legend of ghosts can be heard everywhere these days. When I meet such a woman in the middle of the night, I really think about it.

He once again protected Aoyama behind him. Asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?" ”

Nie Shuyao smiled slightly, just stood quietly, and said, "Do you think I'm a human or a ghost?" ”

The bolt looked her up and down, and finally his eyes stayed on Nie Shuyao's shadow. Only then did he feel relieved and said, "You are human." Why come to Locust Tree Village? Aoyama is just a child. ”

Nie Shuyao frowned lightly and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you were just passing by?" Aoyama is a good boy. Kind-hearted, if he hadn't taken us in. We might just be sleeping in the wilderness. ”

"You ...... How many people? The plug asked.

"Eight." Nie Shuyao told the truth, but he was muttering in his heart, this bolt may know a lot of things, what he said just now was to tell him that Qingshan didn't know anything, and he was just a child, please raise your hand.

The bolt didn't speak for a long time, and Nie Shuyao always smiled, trying to show a gentle and amiable image.

Qingshan completely believed Nie Shuyao, walked out from behind the bolt, and said, "Brother bolt, Sister Nie is a good person like my sister. ”

The bolt also said: "Well, good people. I don't know who I'm comforting with this.

Qingshan asked again: "Brother Bolt, do you know where my sister is?" Why didn't she come back. Aoyama misses her. ”

The bolt frowned slightly, and whispered, "Qingshan has grown up." My sister went out to do something and came back soon, is she scared to be alone at home? ”

Qingshan nodded first and then shook his head, "Don't be afraid!" Just, when will my sister come back? Did Brother Bolt bring a letter for his sister? ”

"Yes. Your sister...... It's okay! Bolt said.

Nie Shuyao has been observing his expression, but unfortunately it is too dark to see it really, only knowing that this plug seems to really know the whereabouts of Qing Dai.

"Oh." Qingshan seemed disappointed when he heard this, and whispered, "My sister has never left me. ”

The bolt touched his head and said, "Be obedient, go back and sleep obediently." Listen to this sister, your sister will be back soon, won't this let me come to see you? Knowing you're okay, she's relieved. ”

Then, the bolt strode very simply.

"Brother Bolt, Brother Bolt ......." Seeing that the bolt was gone, Qingshan whimpered and cried: "I thought Brother Bolt was here to accompany me." ”

After all, he was still scared as a ten-year-old child.

Nie Shuyao took his hand and turned around and said, "Okay, didn't your brother say that your sister is fine?" Go back to bed, and when we wake up, we'll go to your sister together. ”

"Hmm!" Aoyama wiped away tears and returned to the bedroom.

Jiang Wan'er repeated the previous small trick, returned to the hall, and said, "Who is that bolt?" I seem to have practiced. ”

Jiang Yi also said: "I'm afraid he is the hunter in this mountain, that is the prudence that he has cultivated by dealing with wild beasts for a long time." ”

Nie Shuyao said: "Everyone is tired today, so let's stop here." Rest early, tomorrow we will start investigating the case by looking for Qing Dai. ”

"Good!" Everyone said in unison.

This room is not big, Nie Shuyao and Jiang Wan'er slept in Qingshan's bedroom, anyway, there are sleeping bags, you can sleep after cleaning the ground.

The hall was the space for a few of them, but Song Yunfei followed Nie Shuyao to the door with a sleeping bag, and said, "Shuyao, I'll sleep at the door, if you have something, call me." ”

"Got it." Nie Shuyao said perfunctorily. She didn't know how she felt about Song Yunfei, obviously she didn't like this kind of hospitality, but Song Yunfei was so natural to do it, she seemed to be used to such hospitality.

Jiang Wan'er was most happy to see this scene, and said with a smile: "Oops." It's getting late, so let's talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Ahem!"

Nie Shuyao and Song Yunfei blushed as if they had been knocked out of their hearts, and they turned their heads to do their own things in an instant.

Today's journey is indeed a little tiring, no matter what strange events there are in Huaishu Village, there are so many of them who don't need to be afraid.

Nie Shuyao soon fell asleep and had no dreams all night. Slept soundly.

Early the next morning. The biological clock woke her up, and she heard that everyone in the hall had also gotten up.

woke up Jiang Wan'er, and the two put on their clothes and combed their hair. After packing up, I went out. And Qingshan was still asleep, and Nie Shuyao didn't care about him, children, they had to eat and sleep well.

Everyone washed their faces in the yard. It's late autumn, and the morning air is a little cool. People are instantly spiritual.

The old man took the bean cake and went to feed the horses first, but he counted and counted everyone's horses, and it seemed that there was one missing. At first, I thought I had counted wrong, and after I had fed each horse. It was finally determined that their horse was one less.

"Come and see, whose horse is missing?" He yelled as he took the bag of bean cakes.

"What?" Everyone couldn't believe this, and they came running.

Nie Shuyao was the first to come to his horse and looked at it. "Mine is still there."

Everyone else also led their horses, and in the end, only Song Qing was left standing alone. With a dark face, he said, "My horse is gone." ”

Then, everyone laughed, isn't it obvious?

Song Qing doesn't like to talk, but he also likes to run around with everyone, otherwise Song Yunfei wouldn't be so easy to rebel against him.

A horse is nothing to everyone, but why is his horse missing? He obviously tied his horse well yesterday.

After laughing, everyone's faces sank.

Nie Shuyao felt that the horse was stolen because someone was deliberately warning them, Huaishu Village was really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?

But Jiang Yi and Jiang Wan'er felt that they were derelict in their duties. I really didn't hear any one stealing the horses last night, and if someone came to take the lives of all of them, wouldn't it be dead!

Song Yunfei and Nie Tianxi were left looking at each other, they only felt weird, the door was obviously still closed. Looking up at the stone wall, it is two meters high, and there are plants such as tribulus terrestris on it.

The old man said, "Could it be the plug?" ”

"It's possible." Everyone was nodding.

Nie Shuyao walked to the gate from here and did not find anything suspicious.

When I opened the door, I unexpectedly didn't hear a "squeak", and then I saw that the place where the door panel connected to the door frame was smeared with oil. She crouched down and dipped her hand in a little twist, sniffing out that it was rapeseed oil.

"Uncle Nian, do you know what horses like to eat when you deal with horses all year round?" Nie Shuyao asked.

She thought about finding the stolen sow for Aunt Niu when she was still in Pear Blossom Town.

The old man frowned and said, "It's a bean cake?" But you can't give the horse too much to eat. I think my favorite thing to eat is young grass. ”

"I think so, too." Nie Shuyao was also frowning, Ma is not a pig, he eats everything.

She thinks that this is the ability of a horse thief, and it can be regarded as a unique job, in short, this is not what ordinary thieves can do.

looked at Song Qing, who was still black-faced, and said, "Xiaoqing, don't be sad. If you want to blame it, blame your horse for being greedy! ”

Quite surely, the horse was led by something. Lured away.

Then everyone started to make breakfast.

The meals were all ready, and Aoyama got up. Seeing Nie Shuyao's busy figure, he was a little confused, and shouted, "Sister, are you back?" ”

Nie Shuyao turned to look at him, "After eating, let's go find your sister." ”

Qingshan saw that it was not his own sister, so he went to eat without saying a word.

After the meal, while I was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, the door rang again.

"Qingshan, I'm Lizheng, open the door!"

As soon as they heard Lizheng, Nie Shuyao and the others cheered up. It seems that none of the Lizheng they met along the way are good people, so they don't know if the Lizheng in Huaishu Village is a good person? (To be continued) R466
