Chapter 323: A Strange Bloody Case
"Otherwise, I'll ask my dad to do a hexagram for you."
My eyes lit up suddenly, I had long heard that the art of fortune-telling could peek into the heavens and the earth, and it would be great if I could really figure out why there were so many things in our village.
Luo Zhiqiu did not refuse his son's request, took out a turtle shell from his black coat, put six coins in the turtle shell, and began to shake slowly.
I know that this is sixty-four hexagram money, which is said to have been invented by King Wen of Zhou.
Luo Zhiqiu shook for a while, and then slowly discharged the six coins inside.
I just knew that there was this kind of hexagram, but I didn't know how to look at it, so I could only stare at Luo Zhiqiu expectantly and wait for him to finally answer.
But Luo Zhiqiu just frowned and looked at the six copper coins.
"Master Luo, what happened to the result?"
He shook his head: "It's not like that, this is the Fenghuo family hexagram, this is a hexagram that you can't meet people, the disease doesn't disappear, the name is not allowed, and everything goes wrong, I'm afraid that the things in this village won't end like this." ”
"Is there a way to crack that?"
"I can't think of it for the time being, but Lord Bai Wuchang, you don't need to worry too much, whenever you encounter a second hexagram, the proportion of turning over from the bottom is also very large."
I knew that this was Luo Zhiqiu's words to comfort me, and I just smiled at him gratefully.
After quickly laying out the quilt, I said goodbye to them, walked downstairs, and continued to play with the children, but now, all I could remember was what Luo Zhiqiu had just said.
Things in the village are definitely not so simple to end, and the most important thing now is to catch this blood-drinking monster first.
Thinking of this, I didn't have time to play with the children, so I went upstairs early to draw talismans.
Halfway through the painting, there was a knock at the door, I thought it was Xiangrui, otherwise it was Yunyi, but I didn't expect that the person who knocked on the door turned out to be Liu Ruoxue.
You know, she never comes into the room when I'm drawing.
"Xiaoxue, why are you here?"
"Thirteen......" she looked at me, as if there was something unspeakable.
I looked at her puzzled: "Xiaoxue, what's wrong?" ”
I looked at Liu Ruoxue and waited for her to say something next, but in the end, she walked into the room and picked up the chair in the room: "It's nothing, I'm just coming back to get a chair, the light bulb in the kitchen is broken, and the chair downstairs is not high enough." ”
Blinked his eyes: "It's okay, I'll fix the light bulb in a while, Xiaoxue, do you have something to tell me?" ”
Xiaoxue glanced at me, and I even felt that in the next second, she was about to say it, but in the end, she still shook her head: "It's nothing, you remember to fix the kitchen lamp for a while, I still have a lot of things, I'm going to get busy first." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.
Although there should be no secrets between husband and wife, I also understand that I should give each other a little personal space, Xiaoxue is kind, and I believe that she has a sense of proportion in everything.
There are many things that I should not force her to say, but wait for her.
Thinking of this, I lowered my head and continued to draw the talisman seriously.
In the evening, when a child called me to eat, I stopped the paintbrush in my hand and went downstairs to eat a little food.
Then, I went back to my room and started tidying up.
There was a knock on the door and they walked in.
I turned around and found that it was Liu Ruoxue, and she also held a cup in her hand.
"Thirteen, let's take a sip of water."
"Thank you, Xiaoxue." I took the water, drank it down, and put the rune paper in my bag.
Liu Ruoxue stared blankly at my movements: "Are you going to leave now?" ”
Looking at the current time: "It's still early, I'm just preparing first." ”
"Since it's still early, you can sleep for a while, you have to stay up late, you have to recuperate."
There seems to be some truth in what this said, and a thick sleepiness suddenly came to my head without knowing what was going on, I nodded and looked at my phone: "Okay, I'll take a nap first, Xiaoxue, at ten o'clock in a while, please wake me up." ”
"Okay, you can sleep for a while."
Liu Ruoxue hurriedly helped me lay out the quilt, I lay on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.
I don't know how long I slept, halfway through, I remember that Liu Ruoxue seemed to have come to call me, and I wanted to answer him, but the strong sleepiness drowned me like a tide, and I fell asleep again.
By the time I woke up, it was already dawn, and my bones were weak from sleep, but my mental strength was very sufficient.
Ah! It's over, I remember last night I was going out to see what kind of youkai it was! How can you just fall asleep!
I secretly blamed myself in my heart, why was I so sleepy.
After getting dressed, I went downstairs, Liu Ruoxue, as usual, showed a faint smile when she saw me: "Thirteen, you wake up, hurry up and wash up, you will have breakfast in a while." ”
I nodded and went to the bathroom for a quick wash.
As I was about to go out, I heard a voice shouting for me outside, and I hurriedly walked out to find that it was someone from the village who was looking for me.
"Thirteen! You're finally awake, and you're going to save us this time! I don't know what's going on in this village, the beasts we raised recently are all dead, and there are still traces of bites on their bodies, we think that this must not be done by people, and we really have no choice, Thirteen, you can give us a trick. ”
"Yes, last night, our pig kept barking, and when I went out to look, I found a very thin man lying on my pig's body eating my pig's meat! My pigs are dead! ”
The villagers are all talking about the recent losses in their homes, which is very noisy, so noisy that the children inside are poking out to see the excitement.
I drove them all in and said to the villagers outside: "Don't worry, everyone, I'll help you see what kind of monster it is tonight, give me three days, and I will definitely help you find out what kind of monster it is!" ”
Anyway, I am also the junior brother of the Ninth Master, and I have been in the village for so long, and I also have a certain prestige, so when everyone heard my words, they were relieved and dispersed.
Back in the house, Yun Yi raised an eyebrow at me: "Boy, didn't you say yesterday that you were going to solve this matter?" Why didn't you take action and drowned in Gentle Township? ”
Looking at Yun Yi's lewd face, I was not polite, made a big roll of my eyes, returned to the table, and ate my breakfast.
Luoyun and Luo Zhiqiu like Xiaozi very much, and often surround her to promote their relationship with her, and it can be seen that they are really good to Xiaozi.
After breakfast, I went back to the room, planning to clean up my things and go to the villagers' pigsty to have a look, but found that the garbage cans were full in the room, and there was no way, so I had better take out the garbage first.
But I found that in the trash can, there were several pieces of paper, and there were blood stains.
When I saw this blood, I was stunned for a moment, I haven't bled recently, that means the blood is Liu Ruoxue's, is she injured?
Thinking of this, I was a little nervous and hurried downstairs.
Liu Ruoxue was washing the dishes, and suddenly I grabbed her hand and was startled: "Thirteen, what's wrong with you?" ”
"When I was throwing out the garbage just now, I saw a few pieces of bloody paper in the trash can, are you injured? Where is the wound? Does it still hurt? ”
Liu Ruoxue's face became a little unnatural at that moment, and she hurriedly withdrew her hand: "I'm fine, maybe I accidentally scratched my hand when I was moving things a few days ago, and the wound has long been healed, it's okay." ”
I looked at her suspiciously: "Really? ”
"Of course, don't worry, by the way, aren't you going to the pigsty to see, hurry up, don't waste time."
In the past few days, I always feel that Liu Ruoxue is weird, so I said earnestly: "Daughter-in-law, I am your husband, if there is really something, you must tell me, no matter what happens, I will definitely face it with you, you know?" ”
I could clearly see a hint of surprise in his eyes, and his lips moved, and she smiled and nodded, "I know." ”
I said I knew, but she was obviously not ready to tell me what was in my heart, I sighed, and I was not ready to force it, touched her hair, and turned to leave.
Many of the villagers' pigs in the village were mutilated.
But the strange thing is that when I walked in, there was not a trace of demonic energy in the pigsty.
Didn't you do this?
I frowned, stood in the middle of the pigsty, opened my yin and yang eyes, and looked carefully, not letting go of any place.
"Thirteen, why do you think I'm so unlucky, I bought a little piglet, and I worked hard to raise them, but I was bitten to death by that bad thing! You say, how can I sell it for money! ”
The pig was bitten to death by Zhang Xinda, we all called him Uncle Da, an honest man in the village, when I went door-to-door to ask for rice for the welfare home, only he gave us half of the family's rice.
Uncle Da has never married a daughter-in-law in his life because of his poor family, according to his words, don't find a poor person to accompany him to be poor, but Uncle Da has a good heart, and often sends us vegetables and meat, and now I see him crying like this, I feel a little uncomfortable.
took out his wallet from his pocket, counted five red tickets and handed it to Uncle Da: "Uncle Da, you take the money first." ”
Uncle Da saw the money in my hand and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, now the entire welfare home depends on you alone, you gave me this money, what about those children?" ”
"Don't worry, I still have some savings on hand, besides, you often send us meat and vegetables, and we don't have anything to honor you, this money, you should buy you a little piglet, but when you grow up, you have to send us pork."
