Chapter 50: Jing Candle is Eaten
In the barren land, hundreds of dry bones were found, and the stakes were high.
Mu Jingzhu immediately ordered to block the surroundings and mobilized a large number of people to help.
Qu Youying was not idle, identifying and putting together those white bones one by one, and was busy until dawn, without stopping.
The heat of summer turned into sweat and wet the hair on the back.
She was busy for several hours in a row, but she didn't have time to take a sip of water.
Mu Jingzhu walked up to her with a water bladder and squatted down.
"It's almost done, you've been busy all night, go back and rest!"
"No, I can't sleep."
Qu Youying sat on the ground without fear of being dirty, took the water bladder, and took a sip of water to relieve the dryness of her throat.
"It's the first time I've seen so many human bones when I've grown so big. Moreover, these white bones, some of which died from knife wounds, and some of the bones, the bones of the hands and bones were bent on the back, and judging from the posture, they should have been burned alive. I've never heard of such a massacre around Xiangling Town, who are these people? β
"No matter who it is, there will always be a day when the truth will come out."
"But don't you think it's strange?"
Qu Youying looked up at him, her eyes were black and white, the sun was shining in, she lowered her head uncomfortably and blinked.
Mu Jingzhu shielded her from most of the sunlight and asked, "What's strange?" β
"Wang's accomplice, the person pretending to be Wang Shule, since he intends to escape, why does he still use Wang Shule's face? Wouldn't it be better to do something else? β
Qu Youying fought for a night, and her brain didn't rest.
"Besides, he wants to escape from Xiangling Town, why did he choose this path? There is a deep mountain in front of this road, and it will take more time to go around the deep mountains, but it is not as good as the other road. Third, who was the one who killed him? Why use the white bones here? Is it to allow us to discover the existence of white bones? What is the reason for this? I don't understand. β
"What else do you need me to do if you want your brain to understand these things?"
"You're going to be a foil!" Qu Youying's words continued, "In the future, in this Xiangling Town, I will be the god catcher." β
Without saying a word, Mu Jingzhu pinched her nose fiercely and narrowed her eyes dangerously.
"Then Qu Shen Arrest, if you want to solve the case, you must first know what these people look like, so that you can find out who they are. Soβ"
"So?"
"So all you have to do now is go back to sleep right away."
Qu Youying pursed her lips, rubbed her poor nose, and got up from the ground, muttering in her mouth.
"I'll just say it if I'm worried! What do you do every time you are so fierce! Wood Little King Eight! β
Mu Jingzhu's ears moved, "What did you say?" β
Qu Youying suddenly shuddered, turned around and ran.
Unexpectedly, her ankle twisted, and the whole person fell to the ground on her back, screaming in pain.
Mu Jingzhu was funny and angry, and helplessly walked to her side, helped the person up, and patted the dust off her body.
"Mu Jingzhu, you didn't even pull me! You did it on purpose! β
She protested, but he beat her and picked her up.
"Yes. Because I suddenly want to hug you. β
In the face of his direct teasing, Qu Youying's face turned red, and her heartbeat accelerated a little.
"Put me down, I'm going back."
"Well, I want to go back too." He led a horse, said a few words, and jumped on the horse with the man in his arms. "Together."
Qu Youying pursed her lips and smiled happily, with a hint of sneering.
Her back was resting in his arms, and the warm sunlight on her head enveloped her whole body, and she was very comfortable.
With a yawn, she grew sleepy.
By the time Mu Jingzhu sent people to the gate of Qufu, she was already asleep.
"It's really a pig."
Mu Jingzhu was very helpless, so he could only hold her in.
Yun Shu waited in Meiyuan all night and didn't see Qu Youying come back, and he was in a hurry at the moment, when he saw someone coming back.
She immediately greeted her and asked in a low voice, "Young Master Jing Candle, what's wrong with Miss?" β
"I was busy all night and fell asleep."
Yun Shu breathed a sigh of relief, but heard a gurgling sound.
She blinked in astonishment, and after a while she heard another sound, and then looked at the person in Mu Jingzhu's arms very embarrassed.
Mu Jingzhu saw her embarrassment in her eyes and tightened the person in her arms.
"I'll carry her in, and you go and get some food."
"Yes."
Yun Shu was very embarrassed, her young lady was still hungry in her sleep, it was really embarrassing.
"Fortunately, it's Young Master Jing Zhu, anyway, he knows all the embarrassing things that Miss has been doing since she was a child."
Yun Shu defended his reputation as a young lady so much, so he went to the kitchen to prepare food.
After Mu Jingzhu carried the person back to the room, he was about to leave, but he was grabbed by the wrist.
Qu Youying turned over, her facial features were wrinkled, she was dragging his hand tightly, her cherry mouth was small, and her sharp tiger teeth bit the back of his hand.
The stomach gurgled at the same time.
The corners of Mu Jingzhu's mouth twitched, and her face was full of disgust, but she still let her bite.
"Phew, these chicken feet are so hard."
She dreamed of delicious food in her dreams, but when she bit it, her teeth were about to fall out.
"Chicken feet?" Mu Jingzhu glanced at her sleeve-length fingers, reached out and flicked her head hard, "You really dare to say it!" β
Withdrawing his hand, he turned to leave.
"Chicken legs, don't go!"
How did you know that Qu Youying screamed and grabbed his arm.
Mu Jingzhu didn't expect her to have so much strength, and she didn't pay attention, and was directly dragged down by her on the edge of the bed.
As soon as he looked up, he faced her facial features.
Qu Youying pouted, tugged at his arm in a difficult way, and then slowly touched it up, until it reached his head, holding it with both hands.
"Wow, that's a big chicken here."
She closed her eyes, crooked her eyes with a smile, licked her mouth with a smile, and then took a bite out of the chicken of her dreams.
With a grunt, Mu Jing Candle's Adam's apple slid slightly.
"Huh? It's soft, why can't you bite it? β
She looked puzzled and licked his lips, puzzled.
A fiery aura lingered between the two of them, and Mu Jingzhu remained in that position.
Qu Youying was puzzled for a while, and then blew at him again.
This time, she didn't bite directly, but gnawed with her teeth little by little like a chicken pecking rice.
Mu Jing Candle's Adam's apple slid again, and the hands placed on both sides were slowly clenched.
He closed his eyes and let her tickle like a kitten, then opened his mouth slightly, and turned against him.
"It's not good, I can't bite it, I won't eat it."
Qu Youying suddenly pushed him away, closed her eyes and muttered, and threw it to the side angrily.
Smacking her lips, she curled up, buried her face under the covers, and didn't move.
Mu Jingzhu slowly turned around, and the starlight appeared faintly under his dark eyes.
Like a canopy of night, after a long silence, the stars finally lit up.
His slender fingers slowly caressed her cheeks, the tenderness of the fingertips touching like her soft lips.
With a hint of sweetness, it is unforgettable.
"Xiaoying, when will you-"
"Master Jing Candle."
Before Mu Jingzhu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yun Shu who came in.
He withdrew his hand, tucked the corner of the quilt for Qu Youying with an indifferent face, and stood up.
"Good life to take care of her."
Mu Jingzhu turned to leave.
Yun Shu nodded, and when he went out, he stepped forward to close the door.
"He's gone?"
Yun Shu was startled by the sudden sound, and when he turned his head, he saw Qu Youying half-up sideways, her eyes wide open, and her cheeks red.
"Just go. Is Mademoiselle looking for him? The slave went to call him back? β
"Don't, don't!"
Qu Youying said three times in a row, looking a little flustered.
Seeing that Yun Shu didn't call, she went to the bed and exhaled heavily.
She looked at the bed curtain, and the heat in her cheeks did not recede.
"I'm really crazy!"
She hid her face with her hands, embarrassed.
She actually gave Mu Jingzhu as a roast chicken...... Nibbled!
Even though she is always heartless by Mu Jingzhu's side, she also has some limb touches from time to time.
And the last time he tricked her into kissing him, but that was just a wipe.
Like today, there has never been one.
She pursed her lips, his breath still lingering on her soft lips.
It's supposed to be light, but it's still so obvious.
"What should I do? Shame on the dead! β
She covered her face and rolled on the bed, and Yun Shu looked inexplicable.
"Miss, what's wrong with you and Young Master Jing Candle? When the slave saw him leave, her ears still seemed to be a little red? β
"Red fart!" Qu Youying jumped up from the bed, pouted and said, "He's clearly a duffle!" β
"Huh?"
"I'll tell you."
Qu Youying sat on the edge of the bed, tapping her right index finger on her thigh, warning Yun Shu word by word.
"Whenever anyone asks you about today, you have to tell the outside world that after he left, I slept until dusk, understand?"
"Forβ"
"There is no why!" Qu Youying was upset, pulled her neckline, and fanned the wind, "Go get some food, I'm hungry." β
"Okay!"
Yun Shu always felt that in the short time they got along, something must have happened between her young lady and Mu Jingzhu.
She had a thought in her mind and went out.
Qu Youying rested at home all day.
The next day, an official letter from the yamen came down asking her to examine the bones of hundreds of dry bones.
As soon as this news came out, the entire town of Xiangling was blown up.
In just one day, everyone was discussing this matter after dinner.
Some people have dug up different anecdotes from decades ago, and they don't know whether they are true or false, and they are all blown to the sky.
Qu Youying yawned while listening to the mess and walked towards the left room.
Who knows, she didn't go far, she saw the wooden candle coming from afar, and suddenly remembered yesterday's events.
The flush stained her cheeks, she reached out and touched her hot cheeks, and without thinking about it, she turned around and ran.
"Xiaoying, where are you going?"
Mu Jingzhu didn't put the bones in the left room this time, because the place was small, so he looked elsewhere.
And he was going to go out of town to find out the news around the place of the incident, but he was worried that she didn't know where the bones had moved.
Thinking that he would have to pass through Qufu anyway, he wanted to come and tell her.
How did she see herself and run away?
Mu Jingzhu had a greasy instinct, squinted his eyes, and quickly followed.
"Don't chase me, don't chase me."
Qu Youying went out at this time when he heard that he went outside to investigate the dry bones, how did he know that he would encounter it as soon as he went out?
She didn't want to be embarrassed, so she had to run away.
In a panic, she accidentally hit a wall around the corner, causing her to feel dizzy.
Coincidentally, at this time, Mu Jingzhu also caught up, put his hands on her shoulders, and turned her around.
"What are you running?"
Qu Youying staggered, leaned against the wall, and when her head was dizzy and looked up, it happened that Mu Jingzhu lowered her head.
Suddenly, the four eyes met, and the tip of the nose touched the tip of the nose!
She gasped, and the heartbeat in her body accelerated in an instant!
