Chapter Seventy-Four: Half-Explained

In order to break this strange atmosphere, Xiao Vacant glanced at Heshan several times, and finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Brother Heshan, what's wrong with your forehead?" ”

The chopsticks fell on the table with a clink, Heshan looked up at Meng Zhou, who was silently wiping the chopsticks, and said plainly: "It's nothing, it's just a knock." ”

Xiaokong stretched out his finger and pointed to the wound on Heshan's forehead, and said, "But your wound is starting to bleed again." ”

Meng Zhou interjected: "Eh, that, Xiaokong." ”

"Yes, what does Dream Master have to explain."

Meng Zhou wiped his mouth and said, "That, aren't you going to buy clothes?" Just right. Meng Zhou said as he took out the money bag and put his hands in front of Heshan, and said obediently: "You can also go and take a look, and by the way, take medicine." ”

As soon as Meng Zhou's words fell, Heshan stood up suddenly, so frightened that Meng Zhou hurriedly blocked his head, "I was wrong." ”

"Hmph, no need, Sora, let's go!" Heshan said and turned around and walked out of the inn, Meng Zhou sighed and stuffed the money bag into Xiao Kong's hand, pushed him and said, "Go ahead, follow closer." ”

After the two of them left the inn, Meng Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and sat down with peace of mind.

"Little two."

"Here, what do you want, guest officer?"

Meng Zhou nodded to the table and said, "Two more drawers of buns." ”

"Okay."

Jing Rong Momo cup said: "The wound on Heshan's head was caused by you. ”

Meng Zhou chopsticks paused, glanced at Jing Rong and said, "I said it was an accident, do you believe it?" ”

"Last night I heard voices from the high platform outside."

Meng Zhou spread his hands and said, "Look, you don't believe it." ”

"The guest officer will let me go, and the buns will come."

A fragrance hit his face, Meng Zhou picked up the chopsticks on the bowl and handed it to him: "Hurry up and eat, eat well and work." ”

"Where next?"

"I can't tell you if you ask me about this place, after all, only you can understand that ghost map."

Jing Rong said, "You're going to dig a grave." ”

"Tsk, can you please stop talking about this while I'm eating meat buns."

"Did you tell Heshan about this?"

Meng Zhou wiped his hands and said: "No, this matter doesn't seem to be easy to handle, since he didn't know it from the beginning, there is no need to know it now." Little two. ”

"Here, what else do you want to order, guest officer?"

"Pack and take it away, by the way, I'd like to ask you where your blacksmith shop is."

"On the second street to the east."

Near noon, Meng Zhou swaggered out of the blacksmith shop with tools, she looked up at the sun, turned her head and said to Jing Rong: "It seems that we have to hurry, so as not to catch up with the time." ”

Jing Rong said incredulously: "You want to dig someone's grave in broad daylight? ”

"Almost, after all, the sun is full at noon, and evil is not riddled with evil."

Jing Rong took the tool in Meng Zhou's hand and said with a smile: "You have done this, and you are still afraid of this." ”

"Just in case."

The sun was high, and the two of them followed the instructions on the map to a small mountain, and Meng Zhou looked around a few times, and wondered: "Why does this place look so familiar, we have been here?" ”

"I used to be here when I came down the mountain."

"No wonder." Meng Zhou said as he took out a talisman from his arms and put it in Jing Rong's hand, and said, "Put it away." ”

Jing Rong couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "When did you ask for this?" ”

"I painted it myself, but don't worry, I painted it according to the book, except for being ugly, there is nothing else, and it should be useful to ward off disasters and evil spirits."

“……”

After a while, Meng Zhou put down the tools in his hand and leaned against a tree, panting: "I can't do it, this is also buried too deep, and I haven't seen such a real burial of gold." ”

"If it's really like Zhang Hou said that this corpse has been eroded by Gu worms, then it is understandable that they buried it deeper."

Meng Zhou nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, it seems that all the answers are in this corpse, as long as we find him, we will have clues." Brother Huai, you are really far-sighted, since this is the case, then you continue to dig. ”

Half an hour passed, Jing Rong finally saw the corner of the coffin, he glanced at Meng Zhou who was napping under the tree, put down the tool and clapped his hands, flew over a handkerchief to cover Meng Zhou's face, stretched out his hand and lifted it from the coffin lid, and the dust suddenly fell under the force, raising a burst of dust.

Jing Rong jumped out of the coffin pit lightly, walked a few steps and squatted beside Meng Zhou, seeing that she was still sleeping with her head tilted, she was helpless, but she had a big heart.

After a while, a faint voice came from under the veil, "Are you going to kill me?" ”

Jing Rong reached out and took off the handkerchief and stuffed it back into his arms, and said, "You're awake." ”

"If you don't wake up, I'm going to go down and talk to him in person, how are you digging?"

"It's out."

Dream Monday was shocked, "What's coming out?" ”

"Coffin."

Meng Zhou sighed, "Can you finish the story at once, I thought you dug up that corpse too." ”

"Almost."

"What do you mean?"

"I've seen it, but the coffin is not sealed."

Meng Zhou took two steps forward, looked around the coffin and said: "Also, this corpse is not an ordinary corpse, what will happen if you can't say it, those people in the coffin are sparing their lives, and they will definitely not ......" Meng Zhou said for a moment.

"What's wrong?"

Meng Zhou frowned and said: "If you say so, then there is no reason for those people to spend so much effort to dig such a deep pit, isn't this a contradiction." Meng Zhou said and walked around a few more times and said, "Also, don't you think this pit is a little bigger to put this coffin?"

"What if you dig it up in advance for other use?"

"If that's the case, then there is more than one secret under our feet, come on, let's start with this tragic death of the county commander."

Within a moment, the coffin was pushed open by a wide slit, and a disgusting smell of rotten sweetness came out.

Meng Zhou only glanced at the scene in the coffin, and his heart was churning for fear of throwing up, so he hurriedly climbed out of the pit. When she calmed down and looked back, Jing Rong was still standing motionless by the coffin, not even her face changed.

Half a moment later, Jing Rong silently pushed the lid of the coffin, walked a few more laps in the pit before coming out, and turned back to dream thoughtfully; "Stand back, I'll fill in the hole."

Hearing this, Meng Zhou didn't say a word, but stood back in a daze. When Jing Rong filled the pit, he looked back and saw Meng Zhou squatting under the tree and curled into a ball, like a pitiful kitten waiting to be collected. He put down his tools and wiped his hands and walked over, squatted down and whispered, "Uncomfortable? ”

"It seems to be some."

"Let's go back."

Meng Zhou said softly: "They haven't come yet." ”

Jing Rong said helplessly: "I knew that the evil and charms you said before were just prevaricating me. ”

"Are you angry?"

"No, it won't."

Meng Zhou explained: "I just want to see what those transactions they are secretly hiding are? ”

Jing Rong nodded and said, "I know, it's just that it's too dangerous for you to do these things, now that we've seen what we want to know, we'll leave the rest to others." ”

"Zhang Xujiu?"

"Yes, it's best for him to do that now."

Meng Zhou hesitated: "But yesterday you also heard what Xiaokong said, I..."

"You have doubts about him."

"Yes."

"Leave this matter to him, maybe the answer to some things will come out naturally."

When Mengzhou and Jingrong returned to the inn, it was already the time when the sun was setting, and the two happened to meet Heshan coming out of his room on the way back to the house.

Heshan glanced at Mengzhou, who was like a frosted eggplant, and finally asked lazily: "Where have you been wandering around again, and you haven't seen anyone all day." ”

"Hanging pot helps the world."

Heshan rolled his eyes, "There are many nonsense, and you don't do anything serious when you look like this." ”

"Otherwise, you can ask your savior directly and see what we are doing."

Heshan's eyes measured Jing Rong, and he coughed lightly in embarrassment.

"Three guest officers, please let me go."

"Wait."

Hearing the voice, Xiao Er hurriedly stopped and turned around, "Guest officer, you said." ”

Meng Zhou said: "Fetch some hot water and send it to these two rooms." ”

"Okay, I'll go get ready."

After a while, Meng Zhou sat in the bathtub, her body was obviously immersed in hot water, but she felt that her body was getting colder and colder, as if it was oozing from her bones, and her head was getting more and more dizzy as the layers of mist were swirling.

Meng Zhou tore off the screen and put on her clothes hastily, staggered on the bed in a few steps, she pulled the quilt and wrapped herself tightly, but she still couldn't stop the cold air that seemed to be leaking out from her bones. Outside the door, there seemed to be the sound of Heshan and Jingrong talking, and it gradually became distant.

When Jing Rong pushed the door in, he saw Meng Zhou wrapped like a rice dumpling and shrunk silently on the inside of the bed, he put down the porridge in his hand and stepped forward a few steps, took Meng Zhou and stretched out his hand, and there was a cold sweat on her forehead.

"Crisp."

"Cold." Meng Zhou shrank into Jing Rong's arms as he spoke, clutching his sleeve tightly.

Jing Rong looked at Meng Zhou's pale face, his brows furrowed, she was wrong from the mountain, he should have noticed something, and finally he was negligent. Jing Rong put down the bed curtain, took out the jade whistle in his arms, and blew it lightly. In a few seconds, the window flickered, and a dark shadow flipped in.

"Childe."

"Go to my house and fetch the silver needle and the medicine bag."

"Yes."

The fire in the room flashed, and the black shadow knelt in front of the bed and whispered, "What else does Childe command?" ”

Jing Rong stretched out his hand to take the burden and said, "Give the things in the cabinet in my room to Yu Lao, just tell him, please ask him as soon as possible, Yu Lao will know my intentions." ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired."

The window was closed, Jing Rong opened the curtain, spread out the needle bag and picked up a silver needle and gently put it between Mengzhou's fingers, and the dark red blood beads instantly condensed between his fingers.

Meng Zhou seemed to feel the pain, his hand shrank slightly, and a soft snort escaped from his lips.

Jing Rong breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately it wasn't too deep.

At dawn on the second day, Meng Zhou slowly opened his eyes, and the figure beside the bed gradually became clear. The sun shone obliquely on the head of the bed, shining on the hands held by the side of the bed. Meng Zhou was suddenly in a trance, she stretched out her hand and gently swept Jing Rong's eyebrow bone, where have I seen you?

Seeing that the eyelashes of the person in front of him trembled slightly, Meng Zhou hurriedly retracted his hand, a little flustered, "Early." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Jing Rong's face again, and just happened to crash into the eyes that seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. She suddenly remembered that when he got up in the morning before, he was also like this, but he was afraid that he had not woken up yet. Thinking of this, Meng Zhou couldn't help but feel a little funny.

She slowly pulled out the hand that was held by Jing Rong, looked at the eyes generously, and saw that the layer of mist slowly dispersed, Meng Zhou raised a smile and said softly: "Morning." ”

"You're awake."

"Yes."

There were a few bangs outside the door, and Heshan's voice came through the door panel.

"Mengzhou, are you awake?"

Mengzhou's body stiffened, and he instantly turned over and got up, and said in a panic: "Wake up, wake up, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

"There is a Master Zhang who sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that it is for you and Brother Huai, I just went to see that Brother Huai is not in the room, do you know where he went?"

"No, I don't know, that, you wait, I'll get dressed and go down."

Outside the door, Heshan's voice gradually moved away, "Then I'll wait for you downstairs." ”

"Okay." Meng Zhou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after she finished, she turned her eyes to see Jing Rong beside the bed, and hurriedly explained: "I said this because I was afraid that Heshan would misunderstand, don't you mind." ”

"Yes."

Meng Zhou looked at Jing Rong's lonely face, and added uneasily: "Don't worry, today and those things before, I will definitely not go out and talk nonsense to ruin your reputation and block your peach blossoms." You..."

"I don't bother you."

Meng Zhou paused, looking confused.

"I'll do it myself." Jing Rong said and turned around and opened the door, said a few words to Xiao Er, and then turned back and sat quietly at the table, pointing at the corner of the table without saying a word, his eyes wandering on Meng Zhou.

Meng Zhou looked at Jing Rong's posture, his heart jumped, and he said tentatively: "What did you just say to Xiao Er?" ”

"It's nothing, I asked for a bowl of porridge for you."

Meng Zhou put on his coat and said, "Don't bother, Heshan is still waiting for us downstairs." I just told him everything, and I'll go down in a moment. Who knew that before her words fell, the door was pushed open, and Heshan rushed in with a pause, raised his eyebrows and looked at Jing Rong who was leisurely at the table, and was a little puzzled: "Brother Huai?" ”

"Here you are, sit."

Heshan took two steps tentatively, and at a glance he saw Meng Zhou, whose clothes were half-tied by the bed. He turned his head again to look at the clothes on Jing Rong's body, took a step back silently, and said, "I'd better go downstairs and wait." ”

"You wait." Meng Zhou pulled up his belt, walked a few steps to stop Heshan, scratched his head and said, "It's not what you think." ”

"Ahem, I'm a little hungry, I'll go down first, don't worry, you take your time." After Heshan finished speaking, he closed the door and left the house like the wind.

Meng Zhou turned around and bit his lip, stretched out his hand and pointed to Jing Rong and said hatefully: "You"

"I saved you last night."

Meng Zhou said angrily: "I thank you." ”

"You're welcome." Jing Rong said and got up and walked to Mengzhou's side, smiled and said softly: "This is called a misunderstanding." ”

Meng Zhou listened to the voice in his ear, and felt teased, "You, you." ”

Jing Rong looked at Meng Zhou's appearance, he felt cute in his heart, and couldn't help but smile even more in his eyes, he stretched out his hand to smooth Meng Zhou's fried hair, "Don't worry, you take your time." ”
