Zhou Qing recalled the past, his expression was quite heavy, and he sighed heavily, but he couldn't soothe the uneasiness in his heart.

"That's all there is to it. In fact, as early as after Ruyun was found out of the coffin, I felt that something was faintly wrong, maybe she was not dead at the time, but fainted from hunger. If I had persevered, I might have been able to save her, and what happened after this wouldn't have happened, right? ”

"Master Zhou doesn't have to blame himself, some things are destined by heaven, and no one can change them." Qu Youying comforted.

Zhou Qing sighed again, Mu Jingzhu stared at him, his eyes were dark, "Master Zhou, I want to know, after Ruyun was found dead, no one has examined the body?" ”

"Nope." Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "My sister didn't let outsiders get close at all, and I just felt her pulse at the time, and when I found that she didn't move, I thought she was dead." After all, Ruyun is locked in the door, without eating or drinking for seven days, he shouldn't be able to live, right? ”

"Not necessarily!" Qu Youying grinned, "Maybe the food you see hasn't moved, but it's actually moved, but it's just that every meal has moved very little, so you can't see it." And if the person is not dead, then in the coffin, it is very likely to come out. ”

Qu Youying never believed that the dead would be resurrected.

Zhou Qing was shocked, "Is this really the case?" ”

"Yes." Mu Jingzhu also agreed with Qu Youying's words, "Eating less, for a long time, will only make the body in a weak state, fainting, weak breath, not easy to detect, it is also possible." ”

"Then, isn't that sister killed, killed—"

The word murderer, he never had the courage to say it, and only left infinite sorrow.

Qu Youying turned her head to look at Mu Jingzhu, meaning that there was something else to ask, but Mu Jingzhu shook his head, got up and left.

Out of the Liang family's house, Qu Youying opened her hands, stretched her waist, stretched her body, and asked lazily, "The corpse has been experienced, the Liang family has been here, so where are we going next?" Go to the county government to find Zhao Fu, or go to Liuxiangkou to find Ruyun? ”

The two most critical deceased in this case have all been cremated, even if Qu Youying has the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to find any clues from the corpse.

So only Zhao Fu, who received the "death invitation", and Ruyun, the suspect in this case, can ask for clues.

"Let's go around Liuxiangkou."

Qu Youying smiled slightly and strode forward.

The mouth of the willow lane behind the east street is actually very easy to find, because the more you go there, the fewer people there are, and as far as the eye can see, in addition to the houses, there are only the big willow trees at the mouth of the willow lane.

It was the only big tree at the mouth of the willow lane, and it fell on the edge of the river, and the slender willow was like the ribbon of the dancing queen, waving the most beautiful gesture in the breeze.

The golden sunlight shone from the head, blocked by the willow trees, only a little through the willows, penetrated down, and projected on the ground, like a chessboard pattern, accompanied by a rustling sound.

"The shopkeeper said that the west side of Liushukou is Ruyun's house." Qu Youying stood under the willow tree and looked to the west, where there were surprisingly only two houses, all empty on all sides, in stark contrast to the east. "It should be that one, right?"

She saw smoke wafting out of the chimney of the house, and at that time, the shopkeeper said that his relatives had also moved away because they were afraid, so there would be no one else living in the place where the clouds appeared, right?

"Let's go."

Mu Jingzhu took a step, walked on the exquisite arch bridge, and walked towards Ruyun's house with a firm gaze.

Qu Youying followed closely, and she hid behind Mu Jingzhu, waiting for him to knock on the door.

But Mu Jingzhu's hand was stretched out, and before he could touch the door, the people inside opened the door from the inside as if they knew.

Ruyun was wearing a white dress today, plain white and white, lining her already pale and thin face, which became more and more pale.

But she has a pair of big black eyes, delicate and clear, very beautiful.

"Y-Why are you different from yesterday?"

Qu Youying said something different, not referring to her appearance, but the feeling she gave people.

Yesterday, she was in pitch black, with a weird expression, and deliberately scared others.

And today, she is elegant and simple, with a smart look, and there is no doubt about ordinary people.

Ruyun saw Qu Youying's surprised appearance, and smiled, when she laughed, there was a pair of shallow pear vortices at the corner of her mouth, and she said, "Since the two of you are here, please come in!" ”

She said and leaned sideways, made an inviting posture, and was thoughtful, just like the demeanor of everyone's ladies, and even Qu Youying, the real ladies, was ashamed.

Mu Jingzhu didn't say a word and took the lead in walking in. Qu Youying hesitated for a moment, and then followed.

As soon as she walked to the door, she heard the sound of the door closing behind her, which made her tremble and lean towards Mu Jingzhu.

"Don't be afraid, girl, I won't hurt you."

Ruyun closed the door, walked over to her, took out the fire fold from his arms, and lit the candle on the table.

The room is not large, and there are no extra furnishings except for the necessary tables and chairs. And the windows were sealed with wooden bars, and as soon as the doors were closed, the house was plunged into darkness.

The candle flame slowly lit up, gradually illuminating the small room.

Ruyun extinguished the fire, picked up the teapot on the table, poured two cups of water, and handed them to the two of them.

"There is no tea at home, only boiled water, I hope you don't mind."

So she was boiling water just now?

Qu Youying stared at the teacup on the table, and didn't drink it, but just sat down on the stool opposite Ruyun like Mu Jingzhu.

Mu Jingzhu didn't speak, Qu Youying was curious about what Ruyun said just now, and couldn't help asking, "How do you know that I am a woman?" If I'm not mistaken, we've only met, right? ”

"I've met once, and the girl's disguise is very powerful. So I didn't know you were a woman by your appearance. ”

Qu Youying became more and more curious when she heard it, "Where did that come from?" ”

"We came to Yunyang Township on this trip, and in Xiangling Town, apart from my father, only Bai Qiu and Li Zhu and Zhang Ning, who happened to come to look for me at that time, knew. Bai Qiu naturally didn't say much, and among Li Zhu and Zhang Ning, Zhang Ning was from Jiangnan, and Anhe Village was his hometown. So she must know Zhang Ning, and through his mouth, she will know who will come to Yunyang Township when. ”

Qu Youying heard Mu Jingzhu's words, and suddenly realized, and Ruyun smiled even deeper.

"It is worthy of being the first god of Xiangling Town, Lord Mu Catcher, so-" Ruyun suddenly knelt down straight in front of Mu Jingzhu, she had a smile on her face, but her eyes were extremely firm, "Lord Mu, please also wash away the grievances of the people's daughter." Everything was done by Zhou Qing. ”

"Zhou Qing?" Qu Youying was taken aback, she didn't think there was a problem with Zhou Qing's words just now, not to mention, when Zhou Qing recalled, her expression didn't seem to be pretending, "Are you sure?" ”

"Sure. Everything was done by him to persecute the people's daughters. ”

"What did he threaten you with for the sake of persecution?"

"The life of a folk girl."

Ruyun stood up from the ground, stretched out his hand and untied his clothes without hesitation, Qu Youying saw this, and immediately reached out to block Mu Jingzhu's eyes, "I'll help you see it." ”

For this instinctive move, Mu Jingzhu did not pull it away, but he liked her very much to have this self-awareness.

The corners of his lips lifted slightly, and he suppressed a smile and said in a low voice, "Okay." ”

Qu Youying stretched out her hand to cover Mu Jingzhu's eyes while watching Ruyun take off her coat.

"How, how can this be?" Qu Youying was shocked, but she didn't forget to explain to Mu Jingzhu, "Her body is covered with cord-like red lines, and there seem to be insects under her skin...... Walk? ”

"This is Gu poison." Ruyun stood straight, his expression was bitter, but in the bitterness, he was full of hatred, "In order to make me obedient, he poisoned me, and controlled the actions of the Gu worms, as long as the Gu worms don't eat my internal organs, I won't die, but if I don't obey, he will let the Gu worms bite my flesh and blood." ”

She said with her back to her body, took off the gauze on her back, and on her back, there was a large patch of skin, which began to break down from the inside, and even after taking medicine, it did not get better.

This was the first time Qu Youying had seen a Gu poison attack, so she didn't know how to react, she glanced at Mu Jingzhu beside her, and she said to Ruyun, "You get dressed first." ”

"Okay."

After Ruyun was dressed neatly, Qu Youying removed the hand that was blocking Mu Jingzhu's eyes and sat on the stool. In my mind, I didn't know how to think back to the last time Yang Wan'er wanted to poison her with snake bones, which was also said to be a kind of Gu poison.

"Miao Jiang's Gu poison is indeed domineering." Mu Jingzhu's face didn't have any waves, his expression was still calm as water, and his voice didn't fluctuate at all, "But if Zhou Qing is such a domineering Gu poison, wouldn't it be easier to kill someone?" ”

When Ruyun heard this, he snorted and laughed.

She smiled and said, "Lord Mu doesn't believe the words of the people's daughter?" If he really kills people with Gu poison, he can't push everything to the Yin Spirit, and once it is confirmed that it is a human murderer, it will be a capital crime in prison. If it is for the Yin Spirit to kill people, my existence is the best way to say, and it has nothing to do with him, so why wouldn't he do it? ”

"But he never said you were -" Qu Youying originally wanted to say that she was the murderer, but in this matter, Ruyun had an alibi, at most she was a suspect, so she changed her word, "The culprit." ”

"Yes, he must be defending me everywhere, or he doesn't say a word about my return, and he won't blame me for Liang's death." When she said this, she raised her eyes and looked at Mu Jingzhu, with a smile in her eyes, "I don't know if what I said is right?" ”

Mu Jingzhu's gaze slowly rose from Ruyun's body, facing her eyes, dark to dark, and did not provoke any cremation, both sides were so calm.

However, Mu Jingzhu said, "But you are hiding the cause of the homeless man's death." That black paint, you painted it for him. ”

He ended without any doubts, and this was a complete affirmation.

Ruyun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
