Although the light of the white line was faint, it left a shallow light and shadow in the deep tomb. When Mu Xiaowu held the copper needle, the temperature from the needle also made her feel a lot more stable.

"Lead the way."

She whispered a command, and the copper needle flew out of her fingers, winding in front of them, slow but steady, unstopped by anything lurking in the darkness. Finally, it flew outside the door of the tomb and stopped in mid-air, its needle trembling slightly, as if beckoning the two people behind it to hurry up.

Of course, Mu Xiaowu and Mu Cripple didn't stop any longer, they ran out of the tomb in a few steps, hurriedly picked up the burden on the ground, followed behind the copper needle, and ran forward as if they were fleeing, without even looking back.

After running in the muddy and slippery forest for nearly half an hour, the two of them held on to the trunk of the tree and stopped, gasping for breath while looking at the gradually whitening sky in the distance, and calmed down a little.

"Just now...... Just now...... What do you see? Mu was so lame that he couldn't even say a complete sentence.

"I can't see clearly, it's not a good class anyway. Today, too, blame me, why don't you have a curiosity about a wild grave. Mu Xiaowu rubbed his tight stomach and said.

"Curiosity?" Hearing these three words, Mu Cripple suddenly jumped up as if he had been pricked by a needle, "Wait, are you curious or is it curious?" It can't be San, right? It won't ...... It's not going to come back, is it? ”

"Then we don't know." Mu Xiaowu pursed her lips and shrugged her shoulders, and walked forward by herself, she imagined the frightened appearance of Mu Cripple behind her, and she couldn't help but show a sly smile on her face.

When the morning sun rose completely, the two finally saw the city of Lucheng two miles away. The reason why I know that this is Lucheng is not because I saw the plaque on the city tower, but because the kites in the suburbs outside the city are dense like magpies, and there are all kinds of kites such as eagles, portraits, insects, etc., which are strange and unique, and the forms are varied. Of course, the most are the cranes, swallows, butterflies, cicadas and other simple kites, which flutter in the steady wind, some can still make out their forms, and some have turned into a black spot, as if they want to blend into the blue sky after the rain.

"Lucheng people are good at making kites, and they also love to fly kites, hey, I heard that this custom has continued for more than 2,000 years, and it seems to have been since the Spring and Autumn Period." Mu Xiaowu looked at the beautiful kites in the sky, and was in a good mood for a while, leaving behind all the strange things that happened last night.

Mu Cripple urged her to leave quickly, "Hurry up to the city to find someone to repair our car trapped in the forest, and then see if the horse has been taken away by anyone, it cost a lot of money to hire this carriage, but you can't just lose it." ”

The two of them walked slowly and hurried like this, and finally came to Lucheng in the chattering arguments.

When you enter the city gate, you will be greeted by a bustling street, with shops selling everything on both sides of the street, and of course the most common is the kite shop. The kites of Lucheng are not only sold to the locals, the door of each kite shop is crowded with merchants from outside the city and other provinces to buy goods, there are bargaining, there are picking goods and grabbing goods, the noise comes and goes, a lively and prosperous scene.

Mu Xiaowu and Mu Cripple walked along the street towards the inside, their eyes were almost dazzled by colorful kites, and their ears were almost deafened by the sound of bargaining. Mu Xiaowu's sense of novelty had already been exhausted, and now, she only felt hungry and thirsty in her stomach, and the only thing she thought in her heart was to quickly find an inn to stop and rest and rectify.

But now there are many merchants who come to Lucheng to buy, and the inn has been full. So the two had to buy a few buns casually, and while picking up a secluded alley, they walked into it and sat on the stone pier at the entrance of the alley to rest.

"I was in the middle of the night, and I ate so many steamed buns that I couldn't even drink wine, so I was bored." Mu lame nibbled off half of the hot bun in one bite, and complained angrily.

After speaking, seeing that Mu Xiaowu didn't pay attention to himself, he glanced at her, but saw that she was sitting upright, her eyes narrowed slightly, and the few buns wrapped in oiled paper in her hand did not move at all.

"Why? Don't eat steamed buns either? The beef filling is okay, if you don't eat it, I'll ......" He reached over as he spoke, but was hit on the back of his hand by Mu Xiaowu, and retracted in pain.

"Interest, what's so delicious about buns, hey, do you want to eat better and live better?" Mu Xiaowu raised his chin towards the courtyard wall next to him.

"What do you mean?" Mu lame wiped his oily mouth and leaned his head over.

"There are people talking in the wall, listen to them, the girl in this family has been missing for more than a month."

***

As Mu Xiaowu speculated, the Yuan family has a lot of money and is the richest family in Lucheng. This had already been confirmed when she and Mu Cripple stepped into the mansion of this high-gate compound. And what was even more unexpected was that the missing Miss Yuan was the only daughter of Master Yuan, and he was nearly fifty years old to get such a smart and clever daughter, so he naturally regarded it as a treasure, especially under the backdrop of the unsuccessful son above.

However, such a pampered rich lady disappeared a month ago, and the place where she disappeared turned out to be the back garden of the Yuan family.

According to Yuan Wei's personal maid Ling'er, the young lady was walking in the garden that day, and she was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she went into the house to get her a shirt. But after this effort, Yuan Wei disappeared, leaving only the clothes she was wearing in the courtyard.

"The man is gone, but the clothes are left in the courtyard?" Mu Xiaowu stroked his chin and asked Ling'er, the little girl who lowered her head.

"Belly pockets, middle clothes, shirts, shirts, shoulders, even shoes and jewelry, but there are no people...... Ling'er sobbed sullenly, and stopped answering.

"It's strange here, if it's a robber, you won't take off your clothes, isn't it a waste of time?" Master Yuan stepped forward and said his speculation with tears in his eyes.

Mu Xiaowu shook his head, but his eyes were fixed on the stack of clothes that had been folded, "Of course not, so it is useless for you to find the government in this matter." ”

"Then in your opinion, where did she go, little girl?"

Mu Xiaowu's eyes flickered, "This matter can only be answered by Miss Yuan herself." With that, she took out the wooden box in the baggage, stuffed it into Mu Cripple's hand, and nodded at him, "Grandfather, it's up to you." ”

Mu lame opened the wooden box, and was just about to take out the copper needle, but stopped, he groaned slightly, and then said to Master Yuan, "There is an ugly saying that is to be said in front, if this soul embroidery is not returned, we will never accept your silver." But if you can embroider it back, you have to be mentally prepared to leave the body, then this person is basically more than lucky. ”
