"Brother, have you seen Sister Qiaoqiao?" Looking at Ning Yuan who walked into the courtyard, Ning Xiang frowned and asked, when it was not dawn, Qiaoqiao said that he would go to the pharmacy to get medicine for Shuangshuang, but now that the sky is bright, Qiaoqiao has not come back, thinking of what happened to Shuangshuang, Ning Xiang couldn't help but be afraid. "She went to fetch medicine for Sister Shuangshuang, and she hasn't been back for almost an hour."

Ning Yuan's face became cold when he heard this. "Been there for so long?"

Ning Xiang nodded. "Yes, the distance to the pharmacy is only a quarter of an hour, and Sister Qiaoqiao should come back in two quarters of an hour at the slower, brother, you said that Sister Qiaoqiao won't have any accidents, right......?"

"Don't worry, I'll look for it, stay in the house and don't walk around."

"Okay, I'm looking at Sister Shuangshuang, brother, you have to be careful."

"Hmm."

Ning Yuan walked outside the pharmacy, and when he saw the locked door of the pharmacy, his brows were twisted into Sichuan characters.

He took out the key, opened the door, and walked in to check, but there was no Qiaoqiao figure inside.

He searched around the house again, but still didn't see Shuangshuang.

"Ning Yuan."

Ning Yuan, who was looking for someone, paused, and when he looked back, he saw that it was a stack that came out of the thatched house.

"What are you doing?" Stacked Roads.

"Qiaoqiao is gone."

Stacked and stunned. "Gone? Where did it go? ”

"I don't know, before dawn, I said that I went to the pharmacy to pick up the medicine for Shuangshuang, and I haven't come back since."

"How could it be...... Will you leave the house? ”

Ning Yuan shook his head. "All the doors are locked, and only I have the key."

"I'll look for you separately."

"Hmm."

The two continued to look in the house, but after round of searching, they still didn't see Qiaoqiao's figure.

"Where did Sister Qiaoqiao go, brother, you said that Sister Qiaoqiao would not encounter any danger." Unable to find anyone, Ning Xiang cried urgently.

"Don't worry, I'll look for it again, take this medicine and boil it first."

Ning Xiang took the medicine with red eyes.

Diedie's face was also a little heavy. "It's time for the eldest lady to wake up now, I'll go over and wait."

"Hmm."

When he stacked it into Lin Mumu's yard, Lin Mumu had just woken up.

Stacked with hot water came into the house and waited for her to wash and change.

In the process, Diedie secretly looked at Lin Mumu several times.

"Look at what? Do I have flowers on my face? ”

Stacked back to his senses, he hurriedly lowered his eyes. "Miss, Qiaoqiao is gone."

Lin Mumu took the hand of the hairpin and paused. "Gone? What does it mean to be missing? ”

"After she went to get medicine for Shuangshuang last night, she never returned, and the slave maid and Ning Yuan searched all over the house but found no trace of her."

Lin Mumu helped her sideburns and frowned. "Where can that man go? And how is Shuangshuang doing now? ”

"When the slave came, Ning Xiang had already boiled medicine and fed her."

Lin Mumu pinned the hairpin into the hairpin. "I'll go take a look."

"Yes."

When Lin Mumu and the others arrived, Ning Xiang was entering the house with hot water and preparing to wipe their bodies.

"Miss." Looking at Lin Mumu who walked into the house, Ning Xiang's eyes were red.

Lin Mumu nodded and walked to the twin beds to take a look.

Both of them were lying in bed unconscious.

"Miss, please show Sister Shuangshuang."

Lin Mumu sat down on the bed to check Shuangshuang's pulse, and the room was quiet.

After a while, Lin Mumu let go of his hand and stood up.

"Miss, how is Sister Shuangshuang?"

"The water choked into the lungs, and the situation was not good."

"Eldest Lady, save Sister Shuangshuang......" Ning Xiang knelt down in front of Lin Mumu with a red eye.

Lin Mumu's eyebrows frowned. "You go out first, and I'll give her a needle."

"Yes, yes."

Diedie hurriedly went to get Lin Mumu's medicine box, and then retreated with Ning Xiang, leaving only Lin Mumu and Shuangshuang in the room.

Lin Mumu took out the silver needle from the medicine box, and the bottom of her eyes gradually became gloomy, she came to the twin beds and looked at the eyes that were closed and narrowed.

"You are the ones who know me best, damn it!"

As soon as the silver needle in her hand moved, it was about to stab towards the Heavenly Spirit Cover of Shuangshuang!

"Miss......"

Just when the silver needle was about to fall, the door of the house was suddenly opened, and the silver needle in Lin Mumu's hand paused violently.

Lin Mumu quietly withdrew the silver needle. "What's the matter?"

"Someone came to the eldest lady's palace, saying that the wedding dress had been embroidered and sent to the eldest lady to try to see if there was anything inappropriate."

"The wedding dress is ready? Quickly bring people in. ”

"Yes."

……

By the river in Maji Village.

Lin Mumu walked to the boulder pointed out by Ma Pozi, and couldn't see anything unusual.

"Finch, do you want to look for it and see if your thing has fallen here?"

Lin Mumu looked around. "I didn't see it, maybe I fell on the road." new world

Ma Pozi was a little distressed when she heard her say this. "Since you can't find it, forget it, it's not too early, let's go back first, otherwise your father won't see you when he goes back for a while, I'm afraid I'm going to be in a hurry."

Lin Mumu nodded and followed Ma Pozi back to the village.

As soon as they came back with their front feet, the old man arrived with his hind feet, and when he came back, he carried several hares in his hands.

"The pheasant was not found, but I hunted a few hares, and in a while I skinned the rabbit, and kept the fur for the finches to make a neck ring." Ma Laohan said, and neatly peeled off the skin of the hare.

Lin Mumu moved a small stool and sat under the eaves to watch the old couple go back and forth.

At night, after eating enough, Lin Mumu simply washed and went back to the house.

Ma Laohan and Ma Pozi also packed up and entered the house.

As the night deepened, Lin Mumu carefully got up from the bed, came to the door and listened to the movement outside, the village at night was silent, she no longer opened the door like last night, but carefully opened the window and jumped out.

Lin Mumu carefully opened the fence door and walked out, all the way to the foot of the mountain, and let out a low cry of "coo, coo, coo" to the dark mountain forest.

After a while, there was movement in the mountains and forests, and a figure walked out.

"Ma Shaogang?"

"It's me."

Lin Mumu walked out of the shadows, and by the moonlight, she could see Ma Shaogang's tense side face.

"Let's go."

"Hmm."

The two stepped on the moonlight and came to the river where Ma Pozi took Lin Mumu during the day, and the silver-white moonlight shone on the river.

"I found some blood when I arrived here during the day." Lin Mumu said.

"Bloodstains?"

"Hmm."

During the day, when she went to check on the situation, she found a dark blood stain on the boulder, because the boulder was some distance from the river, and it had not rained these days, so the blood stain had not been washed away.

Lin Mumu was sure that there were no wounds on her body, so the bloodstains would not have been left by her.

Ma Shao had just lit the torch and followed the bloodstains all the way to a dark cave.

Lin Mumu picked up a wooden stick to pull the vines outside the cave, and was about to walk in, but was stopped by Ma Shaogang.

Lin Mumu looked at him suspiciously.

"I'll go in first."

I didn't expect this kid to be quite gentlemanly. "Okay, I'll wait for you outside."

"Hmm."

As soon as Ma Shao walked towards the cave with a torch, Lin Mumu stood outside the cave and waited.

Who knows, Ma Shao didn't move as soon as he entered.

"It can't be such an accident......

Lin Mumu walked to the entrance of the cave vigilantly, and from the entrance of the cave, he could clearly see the fire of the torch jumping, and Ma Shaogang stood motionless with his back to the entrance of the cave.

Lin Mumu frowned slightly, pulled away the vegetation and walked in.

"Why are you ......" Before she finished speaking, Lin Mumu smelled the smell of rotting corpses, and she looked past Ma Shaogang and saw a highly decomposed corpse in the deepest part of the cave.

"Sparrows!" Ma Shaogang's throat moved, and he knelt in front of the corpse.

Sparrows?

Lin Mumu looked at the female corpse, the corpse had been seriously decomposed, and the dress on her body had been infected with blood, so that she could barely see the original color.

Looking at Ma Shaogang's sad expression, she still couldn't help but speak: "How can you be sure that this corpse is Ma Qi'er's?" ”

"It's a finch, it's a finch, she still wears a colored rope I gave her on her hand......" Ma Shaogang painfully pointed to a blackened bracelet on the corpse's wrist, and if you look closely, you can still make out the color of the rope.

"I tied the knot of this colored rope to her, and I recognized it at a sight......

Lin Mumu looked at the corpse and sighed softly. "You mourn."

"Who is it, who killed the finch!"

Lin Mumu lowered his eyes, and suddenly looked at Ma Shao Gang's red eyes.

Lin Mumu hurriedly said: "I don't know about this, I don't even know why I am here, I can help you find out the cause of her death." ”

"Can you tell?"

"How do you know if you don't see."

Lin Mumu said and squatted down in front of the corpse.

Ma Shaogang saw her calmly looking at the corpse, and was so shocked that he forgot to be sad.

An hour later, Lin Mumu stood up.

"The person was smashed through the heavenly spirit cover by a blunt object, and judging from the temperature and humidity environment here and the degree of decomposition of the corpse, the person was probably dead for about five days." It's about the same time she's been here.

"You mean, the finch was killed?"

Lin Mumu nodded.

Ma Shaogang clenched his fists. "I must find the person who killed the finch and avenge her......"

"Shhhh Someone's coming this way! ”

Lin Mumu hurriedly extinguished the torch and covered Ma Shaogang's mouth.

Ma Shao was just silent, Lin Mumu cautiously came to the entrance of the cave, and in the dark, he only saw a figure slowly walking towards the cave.

Because it was too dark, Lin Mumu couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly for a while.

Soon, the other party came to the entrance of the cave, and Lin Mumu saw his face clearly through the moonlight.

Just when Lin Mumu was holding his breath and wanted to see what the other party was going to do, there was a "click" in his ears.

Ma Shaogang lowered his eyes and looked at the branch that he had stepped on......

In the quiet mountain forest, this sound was particularly harsh, and the people outside the cave also stopped.

Through the moonlight, Lin Mumu saw the other party grab a handful of dry vines and set it on fire, and then threw the burning vines into the hole!

Lin Mumu's expression was dazed, and he and Ma Shao just dodged and jumped out of the hole!

The other party saw that someone jumped out of the cave, and took two steps back vigilantly, and when he saw Lin Mumu and them, the expression on his face gradually sank......
