Lin Mumu looked at the frightened looks of the two, and finally felt that this boring journey was a little interesting.

By this time, it was already dark, and the team should have stopped at this time to stay overnight.

Lin Mumu lifted the curtain, but what she saw was desolate and dim, she was slightly surprised, even if it was not early and there were no pedestrians on the street, but their team of people came from Xijing anyway, why didn't they even have a magistrate to greet them?

She had been telling stories to the two of them just now, but she didn't notice the situation outside, and she looked around by the light of the torches, only to realize that this was not a town at all, and she could faintly see some farmhouse-like buildings on closer inspection.

"Ahh Xiuhe and Xiuyue lifted the curtain and came out to see the situation outside, so frightened that goosebumps stood up.

Desolate village entrance, empty village.

"County Lord, it's already dark, and it won't be safe if you dare to walk at night, so we decided to stay here tonight." The officers and soldiers responsible for escorting the team went to Lin Mumu.

Lin Mumu thought that the carriage of the messenger in front of him suddenly broke down when he was traveling during the day, because there was no adequate preparation, the team could only stop and repair, so it was delayed for a lot of time, and it was not surprising that he could not arrive at the post station at the planned time tonight.

"You just have to arrange it."

"Yes."

Lin Mumu jumped out of the carriage, and on the first night she left Xijing, she changed into a red wedding dress and wore ordinary clothes, seeing Lin Mumu get out of the carriage, Xiuhe and Xiuyue immediately came back to their senses and followed Lin Mumu.

When he was about to walk into the village, Lin Mumu suddenly slowed down and came to the two of them and said, "This village is really similar to Fengmen Village......

“！！”

The two palace goddesses were tense, and Lin Mumu laughed happily when she saw the two of them like this.

Lin Mumu was arranged in a relatively large farmhouse in the village, because the village had been vacant for a long time, and there was nothing in it except for some dusty broken bed boards and tables and chairs that had been eaten by moths and lacked arms and legs.

Xiuyue and Xiuhe lit several oil lamps in the house, and the fear in their hearts was less when the room was brightened.

Because the conditions were relatively simple, everyone including Lin Mumu fell asleep after eating dry food at night.

Lin Mumu slept in the carriage for a long time during the day, and she was not sleepy at this time, so she took out the jerky that Lan Qinzhu had packed for her and ate it.

"County Lord, it's not too early, but do you want to rest?" Xiuhe asked.

"I'm not sleepy, I can't sleep, I haven't finished today's story yet, you all sit down and I'll continue to tell you."

The two of them tightened their faces.

"County lord, you better rest early, just now the slave maid heard that because of the delay in entering the trip, I am afraid that I will not be able to arrive at the post station on time tomorrow night, so I have to get up early tomorrow morning and hurry, the slaves and maids are guarding outside the door, if the county lord wants to get up at night and call the slaves and maids." After Xiuhe quickly finished speaking, he retreated with Xiuyue.

Lin Mumu took a bite of jerky and lay on the hard bed board boredly, fortunately, she was not the original county lord, otherwise she really couldn't sleep on such a bed.

After eating a few more pieces of jerky, Lin Mumu came sleepy.

She yawned, pulled the covers, and closed her eyes.

This abandoned village was built at the foot of the mountain, and when the mountain breeze blew at night, a cool feeling rushed up from the soles of the feet, and Xiuhe and Xiuyue, who were guarding the door, were aroused goosebumps.

After all, Lin Mumu is a female dependent, and the officers and soldiers are not good at getting too close, they are all guarding outside the courtyard, and there are only Xiuhe and Xiuyue in the courtyard.

The bright moon is in the sky, and the miserable white moonlight shines in the courtyard, which looks particularly gloomy and weird.

"Xiuhe, look, there is also a well in this yard." Xiuhe looked at the well in the courtyard with some fear in his eyes.

Xiuyue glared at her. "What are you thinking about, that's just a story told by the county lord to scare us, are you serious?"

Xiuhe wrinkled his eyebrows. "This place is gloomy and scary, and I don't know what will happen after that story......"

"Okay, don't think about it, you stay here first, and I'll go to the thatched house at the back." Compared with Xiuhe, Xiuyue's courage is still greater.

"You, don't go, I'll be scared here alone."

"What are you afraid of, the officers and soldiers are guarding outside, can you still hear the people outside when you shout? My stomach hurts, so you just stand guard here and don't run around, you know? After Xiuyue finished speaking, she covered her stomach and went to the backyard.

After Xiuyue left, Xiuhe stood cramped in place, she kept telling herself that she hadn't been like this when she was keeping vigil in the palace before, and she hadn't seen anything unclean, so she relaxed a little when she thought about it, but her eyes subconsciously glanced at the well.

The night breeze was getting cooler and colder, Xiuhe pulled up his clothes, and he always felt cold on his back.

Xiuhe rubbed her arms, trying to warm her body, but she suddenly stopped rubbing her movements, staring straight at the direction of the well, and her whole person stiffened in place.

There was a "bang" sound from the well of the black hole, but soon the sound died down.

Just when Xiuhe was about to exhale, the voice sounded again, but after a while, it was gone, and after three times and twice, Xiuhe was afraid and curious about what was in it.

She mustered up her courage and picked up a stick leaning against the corner of the wall and slowly moved towards the well.

When she was only one step away from the well, Xiuhe's heart rose to her throat, and she took another half step forward, clutching the wooden stick in her hand and stretching her neck to look into the well.

At first glance, the well was pitch black, and only the rippling water could be faintly seen blown out by the wind.

"Huh...... Nothing, I really scared myself...... Belch! Xiuhe just breathed a sigh of relief, but her pupils widened, and a thick fear overflowed from the depths of her pupils, and she looked at the bottom of the well motionlessly.

A stream of black hair slowly overflowed from the well of the black hole, and the hair wrapped around Xiuhe's body as if it was alive, and before Xiuhe screamed, he strangled her neck and pulled her into the well. Bean Book City

There was a thud in the well, but in a moment it was calm again.

The officers and soldiers guarding the door heard the movement of the well, pushed open the door and glanced into the courtyard. "Did you hear anything just now?"

The companion beside him shook his head. "No, what's wrong?"

The officers and soldiers looked at the empty courtyard and shook their heads. "Nothing, maybe I misheard."

The two of them closed the courtyard door as they spoke.

Not long after the courtyard door closed, Xiuyue returned from the backyard.

"There are so many insects in the thatched house behind here, I'm about to be bitten to death, well, where is Xiuhe?" Xiuyue looked at the empty door and frowned.

"Could it be that the county lord let her into the house?" Soon Xiuyue denied this possibility, because the lights in Lin Mumu's house were dark, and it was impossible not to light the lights if Xiuhe was allowed to go in.

Xiuyue couldn't figure it out, she just said that Xiuhe went somewhere and came back after a while, but she didn't see Xiuhe until the sky was bright, she suddenly thought of something and turned around and pushed open Lin Mumu's door, but almost collided with Lin Mumu.

"Ahh

Lin Mumu rubbed her hair that was sleeping messily. "What about the rules, huh?"

Xiuyue glanced at Lin Mumu and was stunned, and then knelt down. "The slave and maid damned the county lord and asked the county lord to forgive him."

Lin Mumu yawned. "Well, clean up for me."

"Yes." Xiuyue got up from the ground and came behind Lin Mumu to comb her hair.

"The county lord...... You could see Xiuhe last night? Xiuyue combed Lin Mumu's hair and asked casually.

Lin Mumu played with the earrings in her hand and lifted her eyelids. "Didn't she stay outside the house with you last night?"

"Yes, last night, the slave maid had an uncomfortable stomach and went to the thatched house and disappeared after coming back, and she has not appeared until now."

Lin Mumu's movements on his hands paused.

"Gone?"

"Yes, I haven't seen anyone come back since last night, and the slave maid went to ask the officers and soldiers guarding the door in the morning and said that they didn't see anyone go out." Xiuyue said, her eyes swept over Lin Mumu's face very quickly, and her brows wrinkled unconsciously when she saw her calm face.

"What, you think I'm killing people?"

Xiuyue knelt down again with a shake of her hand. "Slaves don't dare."

"Do you dare to think the same way, you can see for yourself which place in this house can hide people, not to mention what good do I do to her?"

Xiuyue lowered her head, this is also what she couldn't understand, after a few days of getting along, she didn't feel that Lin Mumu had the intention of running away, if she wanted to escape, it was not impossible to kill Xiuhe and run away while she was away, but now Lin Mumu is obviously still in the house.

So where can Xiuhe go?

"Get up, hurry up and pack it up for me, and let the officers and soldiers at the door look for it."

"Yes."

After grooming Lin Mumu, Xiuyue went to find the officers and soldiers, and when she came back, she saw Lin Mumu standing in front of the well.

"The county lord wants water?"

Lin Mumu slowly looked up at her. "I found Xiuhe."

"The county lord has found it, where is she?"

Lin Mumu stretched out his hand and pointed to the bottom of the well.

Xiuyue was stunned for a moment and looked down.

"Ahh

Lin Mumu lowered her head, and looked at Xiuhe who had dilated pupils on her back again, and suddenly looked at the empty pupils, which were really a little seeping.

A quarter of an hour later, the officers and soldiers fished up Xiuhe's body.

Perhaps after soaking in the water for a long time, Xiuhe's corpse turned white.

Xiuyue was too frightened to come any closer.

Lin Mumu lifted the corner of her skirt and squatted down beside the corpse.

"County Lord......" Seeing this, the officers and soldiers wanted to speak out to stop it, but Lin Mumu waved his hand. I'll just look, and I'm curious how she died. ”

Lin Mumu looked down at Xiuhe's dilated pupils, and pulled her neck away with her hand, even though her body had been soaked white, there were faint strangulation marks on her neck.

The officers and soldiers on the side looked at Lin Mumu and checked the corpse without changing their faces, their faces changed, and they secretly said that Lin Mumu was really not an ordinary woman.

"People are strangled?"
