When Ye Yinan returned to Shikou Village, it was already the next morning, and he was in a very good mood, although he did not find the expected treasure this time, he broke through a great realm of soul power.

And the most important thing is that he faintly feels that the problem of his soul has been cured, perhaps, as Yun Youruo said, his yang energy far exceeds the yin energy, which will lead to the imbalance of soul yin and yang, and the fusion of the souls of the two just fills his own shortcomings.

Thinking of the face under the veil, he couldn't help but sigh a little that his glamorous fortune was not shallow, such a woman was probably a first-class existence in the Botian Holy Domain, and few people could get her favor, but he somehow slept with other people's souls?

Crunch!

Ye Yinan returned to the inn and pushed open the door, a faint smell of wine floated out, Ye Qingzheng sat at the table with a serious face, and when he saw him come in, he looked refreshed, and his eyes instantly became like a little daughter-in-law: "You didn't come back last night?"

Ye Yinan sighed, came to the table and sat down, added a cup of tea to himself, and asked casually, "Have you talked to the village chief?" ”

"It takes time to collect the herbs, and they will be available to us in about three days. Ye Qing replied, listening to his kindness so lightly, and said hatefully: "How old is Xiaolan, can you do it?"

Ye Yinan had long been immune to this guy's nonsense, and squinted his eyes and reprimanded: "A dirty head." ”

At this time, there was a soft knock on the door suddenly, and Xiaolan's slender voice like a silver bell in the wind came in: "Brother Ye Yinan, are you up?"

Ye Yinan glanced at Ye Qing, the meaning was obvious, and then said towards the door: "It's Xiaolan, you come in." ”

Ye Qing pursed his lips and looked him up and down, it seems that this guy really didn't do the thing that harmed the innocent girl.

Xiaolan was wearing a pale cyan plain skirt today, carrying a mahogany carved box and standing there prettyly, with two faint eyebrows bent: "Hey, Brother Ye Qing is also here, just so you can also try the pastries I made." ”

While speaking, she put the food box on the table, lifted the green cloth on it, and suddenly revealed a cute pastry, some of which looked like a white rabbit, some looked like a little pig, and some looked like a little tiger.

Ye Qing pinched a little white rabbit and threw it into his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up, he gave a thumbs up and praised vaguely: "Xiaolan, you are really ingenious, if anyone marries you, it will be really blessed!"

Xiaolan smiled sweetly, propped her elbows on the table, supported her cheeks with both hands, and watched the two of them eat pastries with a satisfied expression: "I'll take you to watch a shadow puppet show in a while, this is the most popular show in our village!"

Ye Qing nodded in a panic, not knowing if he really wanted to watch a shadow puppet show, or if he wanted to take the opportunity to go to the street to see something else.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the street outside the window, which sounded like it was mixed with the cry of an old woman.

The three of them looked out the window curiously, and on the street, four men dressed as villagers were carrying a stretcher made of wooden poles and linen, and a white cloth was covered on the stretcher, faintly revealing the silhouette of a woman.

Ye Yinan frowned slightly, is this a case of death? During this period of time, there have been a lot of people in Shikou Village, and there are a lot of people in Shikou Village, ranging from the high-ranking officials and the shepherds of Guizhou to the bandits of the three sects and nine rivers and lakes, although the large flow of people has brought the development of the village to a higher level, but this is also a disaster for the villagers who do not have any force.

After Xiaolan saw the old woman, her face changed, and she hurriedly ran downstairs, Ye Yinan and Ye Qing followed when they saw this.

The old woman clenched a small hand exposed under the white cloth, and wept so hard that the words in her mouth were inaudible.

For Xiaolan, this old woman is no stranger, it is Granny Zhang from the same village, her wife died at an early age, and there is now only one grandson and one granddaughter in the family, and she has a very good relationship with her granddaughter, often picking medicine and shopping together.

Seeing that Granny Zhang was so sad, Xiaolan glanced at the pale and stiff little hand on the side of the white cloth again, and a trace of panic appeared on her face. She had already guessed about the terrible truth, but she didn't know how to speak, so she tugged at the sleeve of a villager carrying a stretcher, and whispered with a hint of anticipation, "Is this ...... What's going on?"

The villager looked at Granny Zhang sympathetically, turned his head and said in a low voice: "Zhang Cuiling didn't go home all night yesterday, and today she is in the forest outside the village...... When her body was found, it should have been an outsider's interest. ”

Xiaolan staggered backwards in despair, this white cloth is really her good friend!

The backs of several people carrying stretchers gradually drifted away, until they completely disappeared at the end of the street, she reacted, wiped a handful of slightly reddened eyes, turned her head and squeezed out a reluctant smile and said, "Let's go, the shadow puppet show is about to begin." ”

Although Ye Yinan didn't deliberately listen to the conversation between Xiaolan and the villager, he also knew that the deceased under the white cloth should have a lot to do with her, so he shook his head and said, "I'll just go around with Ye Qing by ourselves, you can go get busy first." ”

Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, then glanced at him gratefully, said goodbye and left.

"Those who kill a thousand knives, not to mention the innocence of other girls, but also murder them!" Ye Qing cursed coldly on the side, thinking that Fang had just secretly listened to the conversation.

Ye Yinan sighed helplessly: "If it is a habitual offender, he can still be caught and let him pay for his life, if it is only temporary, I am afraid it will ......"

The two walked down the street in a little silence, and it didn't take long for them to see the shadow puppet show that Xiaolan was talking about, which was in an attic on East Street, and there were a lot of onlookers, and the seats were full.

But to be honest, Ye Yinan's interest in these things is not very high, and Ye Qing likes to join in the fun, the two watched the shadow puppet show for a long time, and they didn't go any further, so they returned to the inn.

At dusk, Xiaolan came to the inn with a basket of fruits, and her eyes were swollen, and she could see that she had cried sadly.

The girl, who was very fond of chattering non-stop, didn't have much interest in talking this time, but just invited the two to her house tomorrow with a haggard face, and then sat there looking at the peeled orange in her hand in a daze.

After a long time, Xiao Lan suddenly covered her mouth and sighed, only to find that it was getting dark outside, and hurriedly asked the two of them again, and ran downstairs with a click.

The sky outside the window was very dark, the black clouds were dense, not a star could be seen, only half of the moon loomed in the black clouds, like a woman holding a pipa and half covering her face.
