After eating, Xiao Mengzi cleaned up the table, and the shopkeeper and Su Jiu'er sat down at the table next to them.

"You went to see it today, did you find anything?" The shopkeeper asked.

Su Jiu'er told the shopkeeper about his discovery, and the movements in Xiao Mengzi's hands also slowed down.

"It's not a demon, it's a human?" The shopkeeper was surprised, and realized that the voice was a little loud, so he immediately covered his mouth again and asked in a low voice, "Who is so mad?" ”

Su Jiu'er shook her head and said, "Anyway, no matter what happens at night, you can't go out." ”

The shopkeeper nodded, frowning in deep thought.

After a moment, the shopkeeper asked, "Any clues?" ”

"This is for little Mencius." Su Yue replied.

The shopkeeper looked at Su Yue puzzled, and said in his heart, could it be that this guy Xiao Mencius is causing trouble again, and then his face became angry, Ouyang Keyu hurriedly said: "Little Mencius is in a place you don't know, doing things that will make you proud." ”

When Xiao Mencius, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, heard this, he stopped what he was doing, and his eyes quietly fell on the plate folded next to him.

The shopkeeper glanced at Xiao Mencius, turned his head and looked down at the table, put away his usual bad tone, and said, "Don't you just want to hear the development of things when you are slow there?" Can't get it yet? ”

Su Jiu'er lightened up when she heard the shopkeeper's voice, smiled, and said, "Little Mencius, you know a lot of things, you can't solve it alone, why don't we do it together." ”

"Is it paid?" Little Mencius asked.

"You ......" The shopkeeper opened his mouth and was about to scold again, but fortunately, Ouyang Keyu stopped him in time,

The shopkeeper and Xiao Mengzi both cared about each other, but the method was not right, maybe this was the way they felt comfortable getting along, but in the eyes of others, it was not the case.

"Of course it gets paid." Su Jiu'er said.

Xiao Mengzi continued to pack his things, not planning to sit with Su Jiu'er and them.

"The person you noticed today lives in the ruined temple, and he has been here for a while, and sometimes he doesn't go back to the ruined temple, and he doesn't know where he went, that's what I know." Little Mencius said.

"Do you have anything to say about the heads of the dead?" Su Jiu'er asked.

The shopkeeper looked at Su Jiu'er in surprise, is there any secret to the head?

"Their brains are empty." Little Mencius threw down the rag, turned around and said, "The brain marrow, the brain is all gone." ”

Su Jiu'er knew that Xiao Mengzi must know a lot of things.

"Then do you know how the other party took the marrow and brain?" Su Jiu'er asked again.

"The fatal wound of the deceased was in the neck, and the moment the murderer killed the deceased, he quickly used something to suck out the brain spinal cord, as for why the brain was gone, I don't know." Little Mencius shook his head, this was the only thing he didn't understand.

There was no big wound on the head, and little Mencius knew that the cerebral marrow was sucked out because of the round hole on the top of the head, but how did the brain pass through such a small round hole?

Su Jiu'er thought about it carefully, the feeling of the head in her hand at that time was very strange.

"Is it possible that your brain has become smaller?" Su Jiu'er asked.

Xiao Mengzi was stunned, threw down the rag and ran out, at this time it was not far from dark, Su Jiu'er quickly got up and chased after him.

Ouyang Keyu said to Su Yue: "You guys are waiting here for us to come back." ”

After finishing speaking, Ouyang Keyu also ran out, and the two of them would work lightly, so they quickly caught up with Xiao Mengzi.

Su Jiu'er glanced at the sky that was gradually darkening, grabbed Xiao Mengzi's hand and said, "Go back quickly, you can't come out at night." ”

"If you let me go, if you don't make sure tonight, you won't see it tomorrow." Little Mencius struggled and said.

"What do you mean by that?" Ouyang Keyu asked.

"There are twelve days in a row for a person to die, and there are twelve months in a year, and if the person takes one day as a month, then after twelve days is the next stage."

Xiao Mengzi's words were like a thunderbolt, Su Jiu'er had no time to think about Xiao Mencius to learn this law, and at this moment they had to figure out the problem of their brains.

Tomorrow the man's body will be cremated, at the first rays of sunlight, because the people of the village believe that this is the only way to bring peace to those who died in vain.

"Then let's go quickly, little Mencius, you lead the way in front." Su Jiu'er said.

Xiao Mencius was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you going?" ”

"yes, it's too dangerous for you to go alone." Su Jiu'er said, pulling Xiao Mengzi's arm, only to find that he was very thin.

Xiao Mengzi was not used to too intimate movements, so he took Su Jiu'er's hand away and said, "I don't like others to touch me, you just follow me." ”

Su Jiu'er smiled and expressed understanding.

On the way, Xiao Mengzi told Su Jiu'er that he had seen the man who killed him, but he lost it.

The man's body was placed in Yizhuang outside the village, and there was no one to guard it, and this place had been abandoned for many years, and if it hadn't been for the murder, this place would not have been remembered by the villagers.

This kind of death was not allowed to enter the village, so it was all put in Yizhuang.

Su Jiu'er followed Xiao Mengzi to Yizhuang, and the sky was completely dark at this time.

In the overgrown place, there is a house standing crookedly, and a tattered plaque is hung diagonally on it, with the words "Yizhuang" written on it.

Pushing the door in, there was an oncoming smell of blood, and the startled crow fluttered its wings and flew out from the top of several people's heads, its black feathers fluttering in the air, and then fell gently to the ground.

Little Mencius took out the fire fold from his bosom and blew it, and finally there was light in the darkness.

"If there was a moon tonight, it would be much safer." Xiao Mengzi said, from his breath, Su Jiu'er knew that he was nervous.

The fire fold is indeed too conspicuous, but Su Jiu'er hopes to attract a murderer.

The corpse was placed in front of it, covered with a white cloth, but now the white cloth was also dyed a large patch of bright red.

Little Mencius held the fire fold with one hand, and lifted the white cloth with the other, and the choking smell of blood made him frown.

Su Jiu'er knocked her head, then picked it up and shook it from side to side.

"How?" Ouyang Keyu asked.

"Ke Yu, do you know what martial arts are capable of making people's brains dry?" Su Jiu'er asked.

Ouyang Keyu shook his head, "I have never heard of this kind of martial arts in the rivers and lakes, if there is, it is also an evil skill." ”

"This person is too dangerous, he must be eliminated." Little Mencius said viciously.

Suddenly, the sound of stepping on broken branches sounded outside the door, Ouyang Keyu turned his head, and his figure disappeared in a flash.

Xiao Mengzi rubbed his eyes, pointed to the place where Ouyang Keyu was standing before, and asked, "What about others?" ”

"Outside, we'll check it out, too." Su Jiu'er said, stretching out her hand to grab Xiao Mengzi, but thinking of what he said before, Su Jiu'er put down her hand again, and could only walk in front of Xiao Mengzi and pay attention to the movements around him.

Xiao Mengzi followed behind Su Jiu'er, and when he walked out of Yizhuang, he took the initiative to grab Su Jiu'er's sleeve.

Outside Yizhuang, Ouyang Keyu was fighting with a man in a black cloak.

Because the night affected her vision, Su Jiu'er couldn't see the appearance of the figure clearly, and she couldn't rush up to help, otherwise Xiao Mengzi would be very dangerous.

Su Jiu'er pulled out the hairpin on his head and sent it out with internal strength, the hairpin was like a bolt of lightning, emitting a faint light when it broke away from Su Jiu'er's hand, and then the light became more and more obvious, and it seemed to carry electricity.

Su Jiu'er was stunned, could it be that this hairpin is a treasure? It's too much of a coincidence, it's as cool as dropping equipment while playing a game.

This woman is a bit of a two
