Chapter 00021 brings Niu Meng
"Do you remember that you went to Jinling City?" Uncle Shi asked me.
I nodded affirmatively, "They will forget about it when they say it, but I haven't." ”
"This is normal, and Nan Ya has not forgotten it. Speaking of Jinling, I haven't been to it for a long time. Uncle Shi looked up to the sky and sighed.
"Have both Uncle Shi and Nan Ya been to Jinling?"
"Nan Ya has been there more than once, it's just that there are some things that can't be hidden. However, I can't tell you that you have to find out a lot for yourself. ”
Why is that? Is there a difference between someone telling me and me discovering it myself? "I was puzzled.
Uncle Shi shook his head, "The difference is big, in fact, over the years, it's not that your grandfather hasn't told you anything. It's that you don't have that curiosity. You are not like Nanya, he is a stubborn person, and he has to find out everything. Jiu'er, if you want to understand the world, it is useless to rely on hearsay, you must discover and understand it yourself.
Know, it's also a good thing, don't talk about this, look at these three corpses, they were just killed in the afternoon. After Uncle Shi finished speaking, he tore off the white cloth from the other two corpses.
I was speechless, and the answer was almost similar. Wouldn't it be good to tell me such a big thing? I'm going to figure it out myself.
However, seeing that Uncle Shi didn't mean to say any more, I didn't ask any more, even if I did, he still prevaricated like an old man.
I had to start examining the three bodies.
Two males and one female.
It looks like a family of three, the man and the woman are husband and wife, and the other is the old man.
The wounds of both husband and wife are on the neck, and the wounds of the old man are on the back.
Judging by the shape and depth of the wound, it should be a cat demon, but it is much smaller than Yao Xiaomei in terms of physique.
There was nothing abnormal in the woman's abdomen, and the reason for the rancid smell was that the corpse poison had spread to the internal organs.
The time of death was about two hours ago.
The couple seemed to have been attacked suddenly and unsuspectingly, and the old man had different degrees of scratches on his arms and legs in addition to the fatal wounds on his back.
This monster should have been wrestled with.
Uncle Shi told me that the government visited the area around the house, and no one found anything unusual.
The body was found by a neighbor who went to pick up a hoe, and there were only three of them in the family.
"What do you think?" Uncle Shi asked me.
"The demon beast committed the crime, but left behind the corpse, the body was intact, and the original intention was not to eat them. Either this family has some connection with the Cheng Mansion, or the demon beast is out of control and kills innocents indiscriminately.
However, the probability of losing control is smaller, and if it is out of control, the surrounding neighbors are safe and sound. So, I feel like it's a purposeful attack. Uncle Shi, what did you say over there at Six Doors? ”
"As always, under attack by wild beasts, six gates have been patrolled with additional personnel, and a curfew will be imposed from tomorrow night. Jiu'er, this case is not simple. I have the same opinion as you, this family must have something to do with the Cheng Mansion.
Cheng Mansion is a large family, with many side branches, and also has relatives in the capital and Jiangnan. Previously, when the government searched for Cheng's mansion, it was found that the study had been turned over, although I didn't know what books were lost, but some people speculated that Cheng's genealogy was taken away. ”
"Uncle Shi means that someone killed people according to the Cheng family tree?"
Uncle Shi shook his head slightly, "It's just a guess, and the identity of this family hasn't been confirmed yet." However, if this is the case, eighty percent of them are looking for something in Cheng Mansion. ”
Hearing what Uncle Shi said, I decided to tell him about going to Chengfu at night.
"Master, Master Yao said that I should go to the well in Chengfu with her at night, what do you think?"
Uncle Shi stroked his beard and pondered for a while, "There is a tomb under the well, right?" ”
"There should be."
"Do you remember what your grandfather taught you?"
"Yes."
"Then go ahead, remember to bring Niu Meng."
I was a little puzzled because tomb robbing is a very dangerous thing. Not to mention the poisonous gas in the ancient tomb, what if you encounter zongzi? Zongzi is a zombie, I didn't believe in this thing before.
But now that I believe it, Yao Xiaomei can become a cat, what else is impossible?
I heard that some powerful zongzi can make people bleed to death with a glance at them, I am different from ordinary people, and it is easy to say that I have the ability to do it.
But Niu Meng is a mortal, mortal in the flesh, if something happens, I can't protect him.
So I asked my uncle, "Uncle, it's too dangerous to take Niu Meng, right?" ”
"Isn't there Yao mocking? Bring it, it's always good to have more than one person. ”
I think about it, Yao is a nine-life cat demon, tearing zongzi or something with his bare hands, it should be no problem.
I don't think about why Yao is already so powerful, why do you want to pull me up. Anyway, I'm quite curious about the ancient tombs, and now that I have the opportunity, I naturally can't resist the urge to go.
As for the door rules set by my grandfather, I am his own grandson, and it doesn't hurt to break the door rules occasionally.
I chatted with my uncle for a while, and then went back to find Niu Meng.
On the way, I knocked on the doors of several shops and bought the items needed for tomb robbing.
When I returned to Yishui Pavilion, I saw Tang Jinghong sitting in the main hall, Niu Meng sitting in the corner smoking, and the left side of his face seemed to be swollen.
I put my things down and bowed to Tang Jinghong, "Miss Tang, you're back." ”
Tang Jinghong frowned slightly, "Are you going to rob the tomb with these things?" ”
Don't guess, another cold Tang Jinghong is back.
I'm very curious now, how did Tang Jinghong's different personalities change? You can't just get up and change your personality, right? Or is there something needed to stimulate it?
I didn't plan to hide the matter of robbing the tomb, so I nodded back to her, "Well, Master Yao asked me to go to Cheng's Mansion to go to the well with her when I was a child." ”
"Which Lord Yao?" Tang Jinghong's brows tightened.
"Six doors demon hunting, Yao is mocking."
Tang Jinghong's expression suddenly became a little complicated, he moved his mouth, but he didn't speak.
After a while, he said softly, "I'll go with me, I'll go to the bath first, dare to approach my room, and ask you to look good." ”
I shrugged my shoulders slightly, and spread my hands helplessly, "The hot water boils by itself." ”
Tang Jinghong glared at me, turned around and walked towards the backyard.
I walked up to Niu Meng, confirmed that his face was indeed swollen, and asked him, "What's wrong with your face?" Got into a fight? ”
Niu Meng snorted, "Don't mention it, I just asked her if she likes you." She gave me a slap when she started her hand, the little girl's family, how did I know she was so strong. ”
"The ...... Who let you talk nonsense, she was originally a nine-tailed demon fox. ”
"Really?"
I just remembered that Niu Meng didn't remember the matter of Jinling City, and quickly nodded, "I just went to Uncle Shi, and Uncle Shi told me the truth, Miss Tang is the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, don't talk nonsense about this, no one is allowed to say it!" ”
"I'm full of food and say, what are you doing here? Besides, people might think I'm crazy. ”
"Okay, come with me to rob the tomb at night, and if you see what Yao Xiaomei has become, don't be surprised."
Niu Meng glared at me with big eyes like copper bells and asked, "What else can she become?" ”
"Anyway...... She's not human, so it's good to be mentally prepared in advance. ”
Niu Meng nodded, "Okay, I won't rob the tomb if it's not for it." ”
"Follow me."
"It's okay, it's a good thing to have multiple crafts, anyway, I don't have a father or a mother before, and I'm not afraid of retribution for damaging yin virtue."
“…………”
Niu Meng has always been like this, with big nerves, and few things can surprise him. When ordinary people heard that Yao Xiaomei and Tang Jinghong were monsters, they were probably scared away by this time.
