Chapter 113: The Murderous Mansion (4)
"Human tongue?" Xian Yi looked at her in surprise.
Shi Yong didn't speak, calmed down, slowly picked up his tongue with chopsticks, and put it under the lamp to observe.
And Zhao Yunzhen, who almost ate noodles next to him, suddenly covered his mouth.
Wow, spit.
Xian Yi saw that Shi Yong was still observing the tongue, and forced the discomfort in her stomach to approach her
"Are you sure?"
Shi Yong nodded, half-squinting, "Inform your lord." β
Xian Yi took a deep breath, turned around and went out.
Shi Yong gently threw his tongue back into the bowl, patted Zhao Yunzhen's back, and waited for his nausea to pass, then asked Xiao Bing to take him back to the room to rest.
Then, she turned her head to look at the stunned Chunxiu.
"Come with me."
Chunxiu's face turned white with fright, and she waved her hands in a panic.
"Ma'am. I don't know how, how did my tongue get into the bowl? It's not me, it's not me......"
Shi Yong didn't answer, and took her out of the main hall.
Behind him, Zhao Yunzhen suddenly exclaimed, "I won't go to sleep." β
Before Shi Yong turned around, he had already shaken off Xiao Bing's hand, ran over quickly, tightly grabbed Shi Yong's sleeve, raised his little head, and looked at her bably, under the night light, his little face was as white as a piece of paper.
"I'm afraid. You take me with you. β
Shi Yong glanced at Xiao Bing, saw that he was speechless, and nodded helplessly.
"Let's go."
A group of four people walked towards the stove room.
Pei Mansion was also a large family, and the houses in the house were very large, and there was a distance from the main hall to the kitchen.
A few years ago, the fire burned most of Pei's mansion, Pei Fu's eldest brother Pei Zheng came back to mourn, and spent money to ask someone to re-repair the mushroom, and what I see now is what it looks like after repairing the mushroom, but in the past few years, there is no one in the Pei family, and the old cousin helps take care of the house, and he didn't dare to live here before, so the house has been idle.
By the light of the oil lamp, Shi Yong could see that the lintel was full of dust, and there were cobwebs that had been hanging for a long time at the corners of the eaves, which looked gloomy.
Shi Yong had only been to the main hall and bedroom just now, where the uncle and aunt had already been cleaned, and they looked clean and tidy.
There is a feeling of walking into a murderous house.
I have burned so many people to death, and I haven't lived in them for years,
Isn't it a murderous house?
"The stove is here?"
When Chunxiu was cooking, Xian Yi led her over, she was very familiar with it, and led the way in front.
Shi Yong didn't speak, and slowly followed.
The kitchen is not very square, probably because of the problem of being close to the cousin's house, it is built into a narrow shape, and when you walk in, the long passage makes people feel frightened.
There was firewood piled up at the door outside the kitchen, and I don't know how many years, but a small door opened not far away, which led directly to the courtyard of my cousin's house, which I think was usually used by my uncle to help take care of the house, and there were some messy things piled up in front of the eaves, hoes, nails, palladium, windmills, and some other farm tools.
Shi Yong reached out and pushed the door.
A small hand reached over and grabbed her violently.
Shi Yong lowered his head and saw Zhao Yunzhen's eyes, which were pitch black,
The prince will also be insecure and afraid of ghosts?
Shi Yong laughed, grabbed him, and changed his other hand to push the door.
Didn't push it away.
She glanced back at Chunxiu strangely, "You just used the kitchen, how did you get in?" β
Chunxiu said: "Sister Xian just pushed it and opened it." β
Shi Yong glanced at her, this time she used more strength, but the door still couldn't be opened.
At this time, Xian Yi came back with two guards, she whispered to Shi Yong that she had sent someone to inform Zhao Yin, and then asked about the situation here, and glanced at the door suspiciously.
"Madame stepped back."
Shi Yong led Zhao Yunzhen to take two steps back.
Xian Yi raised his leg and kicked it.
Bang!
The door opened, and a cold wind poured in.
Zhao Yunzhen was choked by the smell in the stove room, and suddenly turned his head to hug Shi Yong.
Shi Yong patted him on the back and asked Xian Yi.
"You came here just now, did you notice anything unusual?"
Xian Yi shook her head and watched the spring show.
The little Chunxiu was already too frightened to speak.
"I went over there, the next door, I went out through that small door, I asked my uncle for noodles, and I pulled a handful of green onions outside, and when I came back, I made a fire, and below, I didn't ...... I don't know, I don't know anything. β
Shi Yong said: "When you were cooking noodles, did you go out?" β
Chunxiu nodded, "I fried the eggs, put them in that bowl and prepared them, and fished the noodles into the bowl, at this time, my uncle called me outside and asked me if I had enough eggs and if I wanted them." I'll just go out and get itβ"
Shi Yong asked, "After you came back, have you checked the noodle bowl?" β
Chunxiu was about to cry and shook her head desperately.
"I chop the eggs, sprinkle the finely minced noodles on top of the noodles, and bring them to the hall ......"
Shi Yong took a deep look at the little girl, and saw that she was so nervous that she was at a loss, and exchanged glances with Xian Yi, "Go in and have a look." β
In the stove room, which has not been used for a long time, there is a strange musty smell.
"It stinks." Zhao Yunzhen was the first to stand it.
"Then you get out." Shi Yong said.
"Don't."
In the damp house, there is a pent-up tension.
Walking inside, the air seems to freeze.
Zhao Yunzhen held on tightly, the five of them walked quietly in the stove room of the black hole under the illumination of an oil lamp, a wind blowing from nowhere, blowing on the face, cool and faint, the light of the oil lamp illuminated everyone's face with a ghostly sense of cold silence, and the picture was extremely terrifying.
"Stop."
Shi Yong suddenly raised his hand to stop everyone's pace.
Xian Yi asked, "What's wrong?" β
Shi Yong didn't answer immediately, and stood quietly in the silent space, and after a long while, she let out a long breath.
"The smell of blood. Here, there are dead people. β
"Ahh Zhao Yunzhen was the first to jump up, like a frightened rabbit, and hugged Shi Yong's waist again.
"Let's go out quickly and find Uncle Yin."
Shi Yong: "I thought you were bold. β
Dare to take Xiao Bing from Jingshi to Pingliang, which cowardly person did it?
This prince, it's time to suffer from the sins of society.
"Who said I was cowardly, but I am not afraid of ghosts. I'm ......"
I don't want to see the dead.
Zhao Yunzhen embarrassedly let go of her, putting his hands behind his back.
"My manly husband, should I be afraid? Walk. β
"Stand here and don't move." Shi Yong was afraid that they would go in and destroy the scene, so he waved his hand and told Xiao Bing to take Zhao Yunzhen out.
Zhao Yunzhen looked at her face and slowly stepped back.
"I'm standing here, and I promise not to move."
Xian Yi walked to Shi Yong's side, "How do you know that there are dead people?" β
This is a stove room that has not been used for a long time, it is natural to be a little gloomy and deserted, how can she conclude that there are dead people?
Shi Yong slowly walked towards the deepest part of the narrow stove room.
"I smell it, the smell of the dead."
Her voice was low, faint, and she heard it standing on end.
Can you still smell the dead?
Xian Yi and fox followed Shi Yong suspiciously, and Shi Yong had a wooden face, completely different from his usual lazy appearance, as if he had entered another state.
Dead people certainly have a taste.
It's just that people who have been dealing with corpses for a long time can feel it.
For Shi Yong, it's not magical, it's just professional sensitivity.
But Xian Yi felt that she was chattering, which was extremely terrifying.
Shi Yong was inconvenient to explain to Xian Yi, so he walked in slowly, squatted, and turned over the pile of firewood stored in the innermost part.
"Meowβ"
A wild cat came in from the pyre, barked sharply, and ran away.
Shi Yong straightened up, picked the last pine branch, and raised the oil lamp.
Under the firelight,
A male corpse was lying on his back in the pyre, almost naked, his face was disfigured, and he couldn't see his appearance, but he could only vaguely distinguish that it was a person and a man.
He is not like one who has been slain,
It was as if it had been attacked by a wild beast.
His face was bitten to pieces, and all the clothes on his body were bitten into rags, and they were scattered on the ground, and his hands, feet, and body were scarred by gnawing everywhere, and the most terrible thing was his mouth.
Or rather, he doesn't have a mouth anymore. The man's lips were long gone, and the position of the mouth was wide open like a bloody hole, and there was no tongue in it.
"Heavenly ......"
Xian Yi let out a long gasp.
"What did you bite?"
Shi Yong didn't say anything, lowered his head and picked up a waist card from the pyre,
His face changed.
"Envoy of the Uliang Khan?"
The person who uttered this sentence was Xianyi.
Her usual calmness was missing for a moment, her face became tense, and her voice was slightly hoarse.
"How so?"
Shi Yong didn't speak, and was bending down to look in the pyre again.
"Ma'am. The adults are back. β
The voice of the guards came from outside the stove.
When they came in just now, Shi Yong asked two guards to guard the door.
At this moment, she heard the voice of the guard, and she screamed, as if she had just come to her senses, quickly stuffed the token into Xianyi's hand, rubbed her face, and ran out in a panic.
"General, it's not good."
"There's a dead man in the pyre."
"Scared, scared to death concubine."
Xianyi: "......"
Zhao Yunzhen: "......"
Chunxiu: "??? β
------Off topic------
Sorry, but it's more after the estimated time.
Because I wanted to eat first, and then fix the typo, and then I delayed......
Then I fell asleep in the afternoon and had a dream, and the six thousand words in the dream were gone.
