Chapter 32: The Wandering Girl's Skinning Incident (3)
I let out the bait: "How about I do your business?" β
"You?" She looked me up and down, "Save it, we have a master." β
"If he really is a master, this kind of thing shouldn't happen again today, right?"
Surprised, she asked, "How do you know?!" β
"Hmph." It's time to pretend, "You didn't look right when I said skinning, I think it's happened once, even several times, here, right?" β
"......" she pursed her lips, her expression obscure, and she was struggling whether to say it or not.
"That master is Wang Yuzi, you take me to see him, maybe the two of us can help you solve this skinning incident faster."
Her eyes floated, obviously shaken in her heart, looking at the girls in and out of the room, and then at the railings of the tables and chairs that were knocked over when people fled, where there was a place full of gold and jade a little bit ago.
"I, of course, hope to solve it as soon as possible."
It seems that the loss caused by this incident to her is not small, otherwise she would not have compromised so quickly.
"The slave's name is Yukihime." She told me the details as she showed me the way, "I've been taking care of this verandah for many years, and there have been some big and small things in between, but they don't really matter. β
The information in this sentence is very reminiscent, saying that it doesn't matter, probably because it didn't cause a big chaos and can be covered up, or it only happened once or twice and then returned to normal, in short, it didn't damage the fundamental interests.
"But this time, there were girls at both ends of the day who were poisoned, some died violently at night, and some were when the guests were there."
If it's in bed, then this guest is really unlucky.
"Is it all a dead state?"
"Yes, it's all skinned, especially on the face."
I can't help but think of painted skin.
"Have you ever seen anyone at the scene?"
ββ¦β¦ Yes. β
"What did they say?"
"It's all about being fine, but suddenly the skin of the body disappears, and then the person falls down and dies."
"Disappear?"
"Yes, every time there is a scream, we rush to it as soon as possible, but every time we don't find anything. If it were a human, it would not have been possible to escape so quickly and leave no trace, so we all suspect that it was a youkai who did it. β
"So you invited Wang Yuzi to come?"
"No, he came on his own."
ββ¦β¦β
Speaking of which, this room is really far enough away from the main entrance, and there is a separate courtyard, no wonder there is no movement here if something happens over there.
"Knock knock, Lord Wang Yuzi."
No one pulled the door, but the sound of musical instruments and singing came from inside, obviously immersed in the fat swallow.
It's just ridiculous, how can such an irresponsible person be a cultivator.
Listening to the two people on the mountain call him, his seniority should be quite high, so he is so willful?
I shouted into the room, "Master, the disciple has been ordered to come and ask you to go back." β
After listening to my words, the sound of silk and bamboo inside stopped, and a slightly thick voice came:
"On whose orders?"
"Naturally, the top one."
There was a sound of rustling inside, and after a while the wandering girls came out one after another with musical instruments, and when they passed me, they looked at me slightly and shyly.
"Come in."
It wasn't as messy as I imagined, but there was a square table in the center full of food. Curiously, the table was not as low as it would normally be, about eighty centimeters, and a man in his fifties sat on a chair.
As I looked at him, he looked at me.
"How come I haven't seen you."
My face was not red and my heart was not beating: "Master Ancestor has never seen me, I have seen you." β
He looked at me a few more times and asked Yukihime, "Why are you here?" β
"My lord, another girl has been killed."
Wang Yuzi's expression was very sad, "Who is it this time?" β
"It's Xiaoying."
"What?!" He slapped the table with a round eye, "I actually picked the most delicate Xiao Ying, I must find out this hateful monster!" β
ββ¦β¦β
This is a lustful old man, yes, I'll wipe it.
Yukihime tugged at her sleeves, "So, my lord, what should we do?" β
"Don't panic." Wang Yuzi handed her a talisman, "As long as you carry it with you, the monsters won't dare to come to the door." β
"But, that's what you told Xiao Ying a few days ago."
β(???? _?? Is it? Wang Yuzi took out another one, "That's because she doesn't have enough, you tell the girls not to be afraid, if you are really afraid, come to my room, monsters dare not come near me." β
I'm going to be a master of his way, and this is a swaggering and deceitful man.
He continued, "What about her body?" β
"As you instructed, I was put together with the girl from before."
"Okay, put another talisman on the corpse to keep her at rest." He took a sip of wine, and suddenly remembered something again, "By the way, such a big thing happened in the verandah, why didn't your boss come forward?" β
Xing Ji bowed slightly, "The young master is not here, and it will take a few days to come back." β
"Ang, okay, go do it."
Yukihime took the talisman and retreated, and I wanted to leave too.
"Why is the apprentice grandson leaving?"
I looked back and dismissed, "Who is your apprentice!" β
"It's really not, since you don't pretend, I won't cooperate with you in acting." He made a gesture of invitation, I was not polite to him, although he was incapable, he should know a lot.
I went to the table and sat down, and when I found that the edge of the table was no longer above my head, I had to sit on my knees and keep my back up.
As soon as he was propped up, he said, "If this matter has nothing to do with you, leave it alone." β
"You mean, you can solve it alone?" I looked at the table full of dishes, "Just because you're drunk and dreaming of death here?" β
My words silenced him. I'm not so naΓ―ve as to think that I let him know my mistake just by making a phone call.
I asked him defensively, "What are you watching me do?" β
"No, I remembered my apprentice, you are quite similar to her."
The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, with such a master, the apprentice is not much better.
"I advise you, if you don't have the ability to solve it, give up this position and let the real cultivators come."
"How do you know I'm incapable?"
Still dead and don't admit it? Hmph, don't blame me for ruthlessly exposing him.
"Aren't your powerless talismanas enough to prove it?"
"You don't understand this, I have my layout."
"Really? Let me just stay and see how clever your layout is? β
He didn't care about my sarcasm, but welcomed me: "That's great, I'm older, and it's much more efficient to have a young man to help me." β
He beckoned to me: "Little girl, please push me out." β
What do you mean? I stood up and found that he was not in a high chair, but in a wheelchair.
"Your legs?"
"Ang, this, there was a turmoil more than ten years ago, and it was interrupted by a monster."
Seeing him like this, my chest was a little blocked, and I couldn't say anything ugly, but I didn't want him to think that my attitude was soft and sympathetic to him.
"Therefore, if you take the path of cultivation, you will cultivate well and avoid coming out to deceive."
"Hehe, if you miss it."
So happy? "That apprentice of yours said it again?"
"yes, she's a great genius."
To be able to say such things means that it is not bad, much stronger than this master.
"Then why didn't you let her come with you?"
Wang Yuzi's face darkened suddenly, "She died with the monster." β
I didn't expect to poke him in pain, "I'm sorry. β
"It's all in the past, let's go, come with me to a place."
"Where?"
"Where to put the corpses."
