The Road of No Return, the Nightless Village, has come to investigate
It's dawn. The rooster of the village is ringing in high spirits, and the morning fog is about to dissipate, and a warm sun is shining on the village.
Shen Chenjing noticed that the person next to him was awake, got up in a bit of a daze, and asked what was wrong, Lin Jiafu's face was a little not good-looking, she was silent for a while, as if she was thinking, and finally said, "That beggar is gone." ”
"How so? Isn't there still a wound on his body? Shen Chenjing was stunned for a moment, he followed Lin Jiafu's line of sight, his expression instantly froze for a moment, and he saw that the place where the beggar slept yesterday was already empty, and the thin quilt was sprinkled with this little bit of blood, staining it red.
"Could it be the blood from his severed hand?" Lin Jiafu said cautiously, although this situation is impossible.
"It's not." Shen Chenjing denied, "When I saw him yesterday, his wound was already scabbed with blood, it was very thick, and it was impossible to bleed again. "It is also possible that the man who cut off the beggar's hands did it, and the remnant sin.
He recalled the scene of last night, and carefully went through it, as if there was something missing.
"Scar!" The two spoke in unison, glancing at each other in some dismay.
Lin Jiafu was in a hurry last night, but she only saw a small piece of similar traces of tattoos, and she remembered it clearly.
Shen Chenjing looked at Lin Jiafu with a little surprise and asked her to draw it on the ground, Lin Jiafu poured a little water and squatted on the ground to draw it.
The movement was a little loud, waking up Wan Tao, and Yue Rushuang held a lot of things in her arms, all of which were food. As soon as the two entered, they saw this scene and approached curiously.
After Lin Jiafu finished painting, Wan Tao frowned, feeling very familiar, he patted his drowsy head vigorously, a flash of spiritual light, and said loudly, "This is the symbol of Yujia Sword Village!" ”
Everyone looked up at Wan Tao, looking forward to his next words.
Wan Tao was a little embarrassed, it was the first time for so many people to look at her with such hot eyes, she was embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "The pattern in the middle is a fox, it is said that the most famous style of the Yu family sword style, 'Fox Said', was founded by the old owner, and the pattern of the Yu family sword village is also a fox." ”
He tilted his head, thought for a while, and said, "This pattern is generally printed on people, which means that it is the next new owner recognized by the previous owner." ”
"Doesn't it mean that there has been no owner of the Yu Family Sword Village now? So who is this new owner? Yue Rushuang asked, very puzzled.
"In everyone's eyes, in the eyes of the previous owner, shouldn't the candidate for the best owner be the eldest young master of Yu Jie?" Lin Jiafu said that Yu Jie's reputation is excellent, he has been smart and clever since he was a child, he has endured hardship, studied hard, and practiced hard, and he is a good person.
In comparison, his unlearned, irritable and useless remnant was much better.
Everyone held their breath, and one thought after another floated in their minds, making people guess.
"There are two speculations about the identity of this beggar, first, it is Yu Jie, the eldest young master of Yujia Jianzhuang, and second, it is the owner of Yujia Jianzhuang who will be enthroned." Shen Chenjing summed it up, according to these clues, it is still uncertain that the whereabouts of the two young masters of the Yu family are unknown, and the Yu sin is seriously suspected, is all this related to Buyezhuang?
Everyone was not in a good mood, and last night they met a strange beggar, who disappeared again this morning, leaving behind suspicious messages and a little irritable.
"Let's have a bite to eat, everybody." Yue Rushuang said that it would be better to change the topic, she took out the pancakes wrapped in her arms and a few wild pears that had just been picked from the tree, and distributed them to everyone.
"You went to the village today?" Shen Chenjing took the pancake, it was hot.
Yue Rushuang nodded and said, "I went to the village this morning, and the villagers were very vigilant, and I said that they came to help them find out the identity of the case, so they relaxed their vigilance and gave me a few cakes." ”
"But there's one thing that's weird." Yue Rushuang paused and glanced at Shen Chenjing.
"Say it." Shen Chenjing said.
"When the villagers asked me why I arrived last night, the person who informed them said we had only returned today." Yue Rushuang's face was very bad, especially after saying this.
One is fiercer than the other.
Wan Tao's eyelids jumped.
"Could it be that someone deliberately misplaced the message in order to ...... us? Lead here? Lin Jiafu was stunned for a moment, a light flashed quickly in her head, and she said her thoughts, but her face became weird.
"When you brought us here, you met this beggar." Shen Chenjing said Lin Jiafu's next words, and rubbed his thumb with his fingers.
"We've been led along all along?" Wan Tao said what everyone thought.
Now it's okay, the bread in my hand is no longer fragrant.
Everyone ate the cakes, stuffed the pears, packed up their things, and set off.
There are many people on the street, but it is not crowded, and it is not as prosperous as the capital.
A group of people walked on the street, their clothes and appearance were prominent, and the people who came over looked at them, Wan Tao was embarrassed and walked behind.
Lin Jiafu came to the rouge shop on the side, picked out a few boxes of rouge with a reluctant appearance at random, and motioned Shen Chenjing to pay, Shen Chenjing paid, and Lin Jiafu asked.
"Boss, whose house is that big house on this street?" Lin Jiafu asked, when they passed by just now, they saw a house, there was no door plaque, it looked like it had fallen a lot of dust, and it didn't look like it was inhabited.
"This is the former Boss Zhang's house." The proprietress looked to be in her thirties, and her face was hungry.
"Then why is no one living there?" Lin Jiafu then asked.
The proprietress looked a little displeased, but she looked at Lin Jiafu with a kind face, not like a bad person, paused, and said, "Two years ago, Boss Zhang's family was killed, and they didn't even let go of a child. After the proprietress finished speaking, a layer of fear appeared on her face, as if the scene was terrifying.
Lin Jiafu nodded, Shen Chenjing took out a silver ingot from the money bag, said thank you, and left. The woman bent down several times gratefully to show her gratitude.
Walking on the road, Lin Jiafu casually handed the rouge to Yue Rushuang, put it in the bag, and said, "Do you want to go to that house to have a look?" ”
Shen Chenjing shook his head and said, "Ask again, maybe you can know something." ”
A few people walked a short distance again, and when they found some people in front of them, they hurried forward.
According to others, this is a madman on the street, who went crazy two years ago, got drunk all day long, and then went crazy on the street, talking nonsense that was not clear.
"I didn't see it...... Peel...... Hahahaha, let me tell you, I saw someone changing into new clothes in the cemetery, it's beautiful! "The madman giggles one moment, and the next he cries wolf, and he looks crazy, and can scare the little girl.
Shen Chenjing stared at the madman and couldn't take his eyes off it.
He said peeling...... What is it? Lin Jiafu couldn't hear it very clearly, and only vaguely heard a few words.
"There is a man called 'Leather Painter' in the rivers and lakes, who can peel off the skin of a dead person, and then draw the appearance of other people, peel the skin, paint the skin and carve the bones." Wan Tao said.
"His master, 'Infant Bones', is said to be even more fantastical, bringing the skin and bones of babies into the appearance of dead people, and even the souls of the living dead." Wan Tao added very intimately.
Lin Jiafu frowned wickedly.
Shen Chenjing pinched Lin Jiafu's palm, neither light nor heavy, "It seems that this clue is very important, let's go, we have to go." ”
The crowd nodded and went to the cemetery outside the village.
