"Madame, do you say, are all these scarecrows pierced with living people?"

Like the pattern of Yanjiazhuang, behind the private house of the Xue family is a piece of farmland, which is in the form of irregular terraces by the mountain. These terraces were originally planted with all kinds of crops, but now, they are one scarecrow after another. The scarecrows were slightly different from the ones hanging at the door of the stockade, and the color was not the natural color of straw, but green.

When I got closer, I found that the green on the scarecrow man was all vines, and those vines came out of the straw and enchanted and wrapped around again and again. There are some small red leaves mixed in the green vines, and those leaves are the beautiful tongues that Yan Su asked them to look for on this trip.

"There are so many scarecrows, so many beautiful tongues, is it possible that this Xue Jiazhai makes a living by planting this?"

"It's not the people of Xuejiazhai who planted it, but someone turned the missing people in Xuejiazhai into scarecrows here, and turned them into fertilizer for raising beautiful tongues."

Yan Suwen ripped open the straw that had been torn apart by the vines with his hand: "Like the scarecrow found at the gate of the village, there is also a corpse here, and it is a complete female corpse. I think the people who disappeared in Xuejiazhai are probably here! ”

"So many people!" Gu Yunfei glanced at it, felt that his scalp was a little numb, and when he was looking at Yan Weilin, his face was already pale, standing there, he couldn't say a word.

"Yanqing, what do you think?"

"The fire in Xuejiazhai was man-made, but it was definitely not Xue Dingshan, or the people in Xuejiazhai. The gate of Xuejiazhai is intact, although there are traces of fire inside, the surrounding houses are basically intact. Fire and water are ruthless, have you ever seen this water and pick up a place to walk? ”

"I also found out that the houses that were burned were all covered by the streets, and the most damaged ones were on the side next to the street. This shows that the fire did not start from the inside of the house, and its main purpose was not to burn everyone inside alive. If it is an accident, the fire will not choose the way, and if it is man-made, it will be divided into several situations.

The first is that the people of Xuejiazhai set fire to themselves, so simply put it in the house and burn the entire village. Second, as people outside guessed, the people of Xuejiazhai deliberately created the illusion of a fire, and secretly left with the people in the village and disappeared. If it is the second case, it should be the same as in the first case, where after everyone has left, a fire burns the whole stockade.

The third is an accidental fire, and the fire is controlled by the people in the stockade. Since it was an accident, why did it burn down the row of houses along the main street? To sum up, I also think that this fire was not set by the people of Xuejiazhai, but someone took advantage of the middle of the night to sneak into Xuejiazhai, deliberately set fire to lure people out, and then drove them here to make a scarecrow with a beautiful tongue. ”

"That's scary, isn't it?"

"Is there one?" Yan Su asked carefully and looked at the scarecrow in front of him: "When you first passed by those houses, didn't you pay attention to them?" ”

"Observe what?" Gu Yunfei scratched his head and asked.

"The candlesticks, but all the candlesticks that can be seen, are burned out. This shows that the people of Xuejiazhai did not leave by themselves, nor did they leave in a planned way. Even if one or two families don't have the habit of blowing out candles, it's not like every family. In addition, although there are traces of fire in the village, most of the furnishings in the house remain the same, and even some people's things are neatly arranged. The eldest brother said that most of the people in Xuejiazhai are old people from the previous dynasty, and they all have status, so their personal living habits are very good, and they don't want to be as chaotic as ordinary people's homes. Moreover, it is the female corpse wrapped in this scarecrow, although this female corpse is neatly dressed, but she is not wearing a coat, such a dress, not to say that it is an unmarried girl, even if she is a woman who has become a family, she must not go out, unless the incident is sudden and there is no time to change clothes. ”

"No, the bad guys who stuffed them in the scarecrow?"

"Do you think those bad guys have the idleness? If you don't believe me, look a few more, and you should find one that is neatly dressed. If everyone had gone to bed late at night, the candlestick would not have looked like that, so the murderer must have done it before midnight, when everyone was going to sleep but had not fallen asleep. At that time, some people were already lying in bed and were about to sleep, but there were also people who had not fallen asleep, so this part of the clothes must be complete. ”

Yan Weilin turned white and pushed away the scarecrow closest to him, and sure enough, he found a well-dressed female corpse.

"What the second sister just said is right."

"Who is the person who will destroy the entire Xue family overnight?" Yan Su asked looking at the dense scarecrows in the terraces: "Such a big stroke, will it be ......?"

"No, the first emperor is benevolent and will never do such a cruel thing." Gu Changfeng said: "Besides, the royal family kills, where is the use of being so sneaky." The former courtiers only need to be charged with rebellion, and the old and young people in this village will inevitably be beheaded. This is the royal power of the royal family, and it is also something that everyone covets and wants. ”

"Everybody covets it, not necessarily, right?" Yan Su asked and looked at Gu Changfeng: "At least I know that the three men standing in front of me do not covet the imperial power, and they are not even rare." ”

"Madame is right, we are not rare in the royal power of the Narauszi. What's so good about being an emperor? What if you get the whole world? You can't even figure out if the person sleeping next to your pillow is true to you. If this is just a covet of glory and wealth, it is fine, in case it is a gap between the enemy country, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep peacefully. How good we are now, if you want to be an official, you can be an official, if you don't want to be an official, you can travel the world and live happily. ”

"Then when don't you want to be an official?" Yan Suwen tore off a straw and threw it at Gu Yunfei.

"Madame asked this, the subordinates are the master's people, and the subordinate officials also rely on the master. When the master retired from the court, his subordinates lost the official clothes and hats. ”

"Cut!" Yan Suwen glanced at him disdainfully.

"Are these beautiful tongues?" Gu Changfeng stared at the small red leaves that grew out of the scarecrow's body.

"It's a beautiful tongue, but what we see right now are beautiful tongues that haven't grown. There must be people who come to this place often and take off the mature tongue of beauty. ”

"So what to do?"

"There are so many scarecrows, there are always some that haven't been cleaned, just ......"

"Just what?"

"If we don't know that this beautiful tongue grows from the body of a dead man, we may be able to use it simply as a Chinese herbal medicine. Can ...... now Even though I knew that it was medicine and knew that it could cure the poison of the epidemic, I was always a little awkward in my heart. ”

"Madame, did you remember that she had eaten beautiful tongue herself?"

"Gu Yunfei, do you want to die?" Yan Suwen swept over with a cold look, God knows how much effort it took her to keep herself from thinking about the beauty tongue when she saw the scarecrow at the gate of the village. It's good now, Gu Yunfei actually brought it up in front of her, and let her feel disgusting when she looked at the beauty tongue again.

"Madame spares her life, her subordinates didn't mean it, and her subordinates really didn't mean it." Gu Yunfei pleaded guilty: "Brother Weilin, hurry up and help persuade your second sister." ”

"What's this, we eat a lot of things from the dead." Although Yan Weilin had a white face, his thinking was still clear: "It was recorded in ancient medical books that there was a medicine in the coffin of the deceased, which could cure all kinds of poisons and prolong life. It is not difficult to understand how the medicine in this coffin grows. ”

"That's it, this can still live forever after eating Tang monk's meat." Yan Suwen said while stroking his chest.

"What is Tang monk meat?"

"Monk meat." Yan Suwen glanced at Gu Yunfei, and explained angrily: "Tang Seng is a high-ranking monk, it is said that eating his flesh can keep him young forever and live forever." ”

"Then where is this Tang Seng?"

"Why should I tell you?"

"It doesn't matter if Madam doesn't tell her subordinates, the key is that Madame has to tell Tang Seng that she must let him hide it. If this is known to those who have ill intentions, they will definitely catch him and come back to stew and eat, steam and eat, in short, how delicious it is. By the way, how old is this Tang Seng now? Wait until he dies and then eat his meat, will the effect be the same? ”

"Do you want to eat?"

"Casual asking, casual asking. I definitely don't want to do it now, and I'll think about it in the future if I can't guarantee it. Gu Yunfei said and licked his lower lip consciously: "Although I don't know much about medicine, I have also heard stories of other people eating people." They eat both the living and the dead. On the battlefield, anything can happen. So, Madame, you can rest assured that the two pieces of beautiful tongue you ate have been repeatedly cleaned by your subordinates. ”

"Gross!" Yan Suwen, who endured extremely hard, finally couldn't help but vomit.

After resting for a while, several people split up, and after inspecting all the scarecrows on the mountain, they really picked a lot of mature beauty tongues.

"What are we going to do with the rest of the beautiful tongues?"

"Burn it!"

"That's what I meant to be. Although this beautiful tongue is the antidote to the epidemic, it is also the culprit that causes the epidemic. Keeping this thing is always a scourge. But if it is ruined, what should we do if we don't have enough beautiful tongues in our hands, and the epidemic in the city is getting more and more serious? ”

"Destroy some first, and I'll let Yunfei personally lead the troops to guard the rest."

"What if those people come back?"

"That's right, a pot is served, and they will go out to harm others again. Those who can come up with the idea of using murder to feed beautiful tongues should have cut off a thousand knives a long time ago. Gu Yunfei said, and deliberately bumped Yan Weilin with his shoulder: "Lord Yan, did you say it?" ”

"This beautiful tongue ......" Yan Weilin pinched a piece of beautiful tongue and fell into memory, "This beautiful tongue, I seem to have seen it in the Yan family, and it was very young. ”
