Chapter 71: Huang Yi's Death
"Hey, where are you going?" Early in the morning, Meng Wuxian saw Lin Qingqing with a few students preparing to go out.
"Huang Yi is also my student no matter what he says, since he can't get out of the town, it means that he should still be here, we plan to go out and find it. β
"Those who are taken away by the gods will never come back. β
Lin Qingqing didn't speak again, in fact, she didn't agree with the existence of the gods in the boss's mouth, but she couldn't find a reasonable explanation other than that.
"Teacher, we've searched the whole town, but we haven't even seen a single figure. β
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, where did Huang Yi go? This town is so big, where else have they not looked?
"Who's to say you've searched all the places, but there's still a lot of places you haven't found. There was a sneer from behind, and I saw Meng Wutear walking over with his arms behind his head.
"What you're talking about..."Lin Qingqing glanced at the surrounding houses, they had been looking for so long, and the only thing they hadn't been to was these houses with closed doors.
"That's right, there are so many houses here, you haven't searched any of them, how can you say that you have searched them all. β
"But hereβ" The students looked timidly at the houses, having never seen anyone come out of them since they had come to the town.
"Huang Yi shouldn't be here. A student party spoke to everyone's heart.
"I think there is definitely some secret to these houses. Meng Wuxian showed a touch of confidence on his face.
"But the boss said..."
That's just his side of the story, and it's impossible to determine whether there are any inhabitants in it. β
"Do you suspect that there is something wrong with the boss?" Lin Qingqing frowned, in the past few days of being trapped here, if it weren't for the boss, I'm afraid that none of these people would be spared.
"The boss once said that the people here have been hiding in the house and not daring to come out, relying on the food he sends every day to survive. But have you ever seen the boss deliver food these days? If there were people in the room, I don't believe they would rather starve to death than come out. β
"Perhaps, they were too scared. One student said with some uncertainty.
"What could be more terrible than death?" Meng Wuxian asked rhetorically.
"It doesn't mean that the boss is behind it. Lin Qingqing shook his head and said, although what Meng Wuxian said was very reasonable, but this was just speculation, and he couldn't waste a life based on this alone;
"So, the key to solving the puzzle is in these houses that have never been opened. β
As he spoke, Meng Wuxian walked to the door of a nearby house and slowly stretched out his hand.
Behind him, Yue Ling'er and the others took a breath, their expressions indescribably nervous. Meng Wuxian's hand was getting closer and closer to the door, and he slowly put his hand on the door, as long as Meng Wuxian exerted his strength, this wooden door would be easily destroyed.
With a long sigh of relief, Meng Wuxian couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and he often had a certain sense of fear for this unknown thing.
"Find, find... We found Huang Yi. Just as Meng Wuxian was about to retreat from the door with force, a panting cry suddenly came.
Hearing the news, everyone rushed towards the source of the sound. Meng Wuxian also hurriedly followed, he desperately wanted to know where Huang Yi had gone last night.
"How... How could it be..."Huang Yi's appearance frightened everyone.
At this time, Huang Yi fell asleep on the ground, one eye bulging outward, much bigger than the other. The whole person's skin was blue, and his mouth was wide open and lifeless.
"Damn, how could this be. Jin Yang's face was full of fear, and he angrily blew the ground to express the depression in his heart.
"Let's take him back first. Standing up, Lin Qingqing calmed down and said.
"This..." The students glanced at each other, their faces were full of resistance, they didn't dare to carry Huang Yi on their backs now.
"Hey, coward. Yue Ling'er couldn't help but feel unhappy when she saw everyone's appearance, Huang Yi was also their classmate no matter what she said, many of them usually called Huang Yi to come and go, but now...
"I'll do it anyway. Meng Wuxian obviously saw that Yue Ling'er was actually still very scared, so he took the lead in carrying Huang Yi on his shoulder.
"Thank you. On the way back, Yue Ling'er whispered next to Meng Wuxian. At this time, her attitude towards Meng Wuxian has improved a lot compared to before.
Leng couldn't help but shudder, Yue Ling'er's sudden change of attitude made Meng Wuxian very uncomfortable, he was still used to the little girl who had to fight with him if he didn't agree with him.
"Teacher, you're back. β
"Did you find Huang Yi?"
As soon as he returned to the inn, more than a dozen people instantly gathered around and asked.
"Get out of the way. With a greeting, Meng Wuxian walked in with Huang Yi's corpse and threw the corpse on the ground with a snap.
"This is..."A rather bold student turned Huang Yi's body over with some curiosity, and when he saw Huang Yi's face, he was instantly frightened and sat on the ground. "This, this, this... It's..."
"That's right, this is Huang Yi. Meng Wuxian saw that he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak, and couldn't help but laugh.
"What the hell is going on?"
Meng Wuxian shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Everyone sat around, and Huang Yi's body was buried in a loess outside the inn under the guidance of Lin Qingqing. Huang Yi's death was like the last straw that crushed the camel, and everyone has now completely collapsed. They only wanted to leave quickly, if it weren't for Lin Qingqing's best efforts to stop them, I'm afraid they would have rushed towards the outside of the town desperately.
"What's wrong with you?" asked the boss, who had been out for a long time, when he finally came back and saw the appearance of everyone.
"Boss, where have you been?" Meng Wuxian asked suspiciously. He asked the people who were in the inn, and the boss disappeared shortly after they went out.
"There wasn't much food in the store, so I went out to find some ingredients. You are..."
"We found Huang Yi's body outside. Lin Qingqing said in a deep voice.
"Mourn. With a casual word of comfort, the shopkeeper slowly walked towards the kitchen.
"Have you paid attention, the boss's appearance..."After the boss walked into the kitchen, Jin Yang whispered, for fear that the boss would hear his voice.
"It's as strange as the dead Huang Yi. Meng Wuxian had an intriguing smile on his face.
As soon as they said this, everyone noticed this, and their hairs immediately rose.
"You mean...," Yue Ling'er said with a shocked expression.
"Shhhh
"Let's go back to our rooms first. "There are so many people here that it's easy to get noticed by making a random move. Lin Qingqing glanced at Meng Wuxian, and Meng Wuxian also nodded slightly in understanding.
Meng Wuxian followed Lin Qingqing to her room, and when the door was closed, there were only three people left in the room. Meng Wuxian, Lin Qingqing, and Yue Ling'er.
"Do you have something?" Yue Ling'er asked suspiciously, if she had turned her face with Meng Wuxian before, where would she ask so calmly.
"I asked him to come. Lin Qingqing explained.
"What do you want to do. Meng Wu didn't tear or twist, he went straight to find a place to sit down, and asked straight to the point.
"If the boss really has a problem, arresting him is the best thing to do. β
Shaking his head, Meng Wuxian did not agree with Lin Qingqing's opinion.
"Then what do you want to do?" Yue Ling'er asked.
"You have also seen it, the boss's appearance is exactly the same as the dead Huang Yi. He had said that he had become because of a curse, and that outsiders would not be subject to such a curse. But Huang Yi's situation is obviously not in line with what he said, which means that he is lying. β
"Then just arrest him and force him to ask. β
Meng Wuxian looked at Yue Ling'er with a look of hatred that iron could not become steel. "Why don't you understand? β
"There's definitely something wrong with the boss, but he shouldn't be the mastermind. Lin Qingqing said. The boss should be a victim like Huang Yi, but the murderer should have done something to the boss and asked him to do things for him.
