Chapter 63: Doubts
"What's wrong with you?"
Mu Jingzhu looked at her sudden vigilant look, quite unclear.
"Every time you let me come close to you, nothing good. I'm definitely not fooled this time, if you have something to say, I can hear it. β
Qu Youying pouted, looking like I wouldn't be fooled.
Every time she is deceived by him into rubbing oil or something, she won't be stupid enough to be fooled every time!
Mu Jingzhu wanted to whisper a few words to her, but she was wary of him.
And the reason for his vigilance made him cry and laugh a little.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes were frivolous, "Do you think that at this distance, I can't help you?" β
Qu Youying visually measured the distance between the two and nodded reassuringly.
"Now that you're hurt, I'm certainly not afraidβahβ"
Before she finished speaking, she saw Mu Jingzhu get out of bed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he came to her, grabbed her wrist, and dragged the person onto the bed suddenly, pressing it under her body, and her head was also pressed down at the same moment, approaching.
Breathe in close proximity!
Qu Youying closed her eyes nervously, paying no attention to the uncontrollable acceleration of her heartbeat.
But what I had in my mind didn't happen.
She quietly opened her eyes, and at a glance fell into those eyes that were as dark as obsidian in the night.
Those eyes were dark, but every time I looked at her, they sparkled with crystal.
At this moment, there is a smile that is so rich that people can't ignore it.
He was laughing.
Explain that he did it on purpose!
Qu Youying's face suddenly turned red, and she felt ashamed when she remembered that she was stupidly waiting for him to kiss him just now.
"You-"
"Actually, I want to kiss you, but I'm afraid you'll be upset."
Mu Jingzhu interrupted her words and looked at her from a very close distance, hiding all the subtle changes in her eyes.
"But you look like you're looking forward to it?"
"Expectation, anticipationβ"
He interrupted her again, confidently, "Look! I'll just say you're looking forward to it. β
Qu Youying suddenly became angry, she obviously wanted to say that she was looking forward to a fart!
She pushed him out with both hands, and regardless of whether or not she would hurt him, she got up from the bed angrily and turned her back to him.
"I've written down this account, and I'll settle it with you later!"
"But I want you to settle it with me now, what should I do?"
Mu Jingzhu wrapped around her like an octopus and wrapped his arms around her waist.
He sat with a golden knife, and Qu Youying, who was hugged by the waist, sat in his arms, as if he had the aura of an emperor embracing his wife.
He bit her ear and said something that made her heart bumble.
This is something that outsiders have never had a chance to see.
"You, you, you let go of me!"
Qu Youying couldn't do anything except scold him for letting go, and was held by him like this.
The broad chest behind her can give her infinite courage and strength.
"Don't you want to know why I want you to do this?"
Qu Youying was still immersed in his gentle township, and it took a while to react when she heard him change the topic.
"Why?"
"To see if he will burn the bones. If he really ordered it to be burned, then it means that there is really a relationship between him and the white bones. If not, it means that he knows the origin of these white bones, and he can't burn them. Either way, it is certain that he will pass through Xiangling Town at this time, it is not a coincidence, it is a premeditated plan early on! If necessary, tell the lieutenant something we already knew. β
Qu Youying was shocked, she had never thought of this.
At that time, she heard Xie Xiaoer say about Taiwei, and she also listened to it as a joke, but Mu Jingzhu was different, since he said so, it meant that he must have found something.
"And-"
Mu Jingzhu suddenly approached her ear and opened her mouth to take it in one gulp.
Qu Youying's whole body seemed to have been struck by lightning, her whole body stiffened, and a blazing heat after the electric current spread throughout her body from there.
So much so that she went out of Qufu for a long time, and she was in a trance.
"Xiaoying, Xiaoying!"
Far away, Xie Xiaoer found her, quickly rushed towards her, and put one hand on her shoulder.
"How can you say that you are sick!"
He looked suspicious, but Qu Youying pulled down his hand and said unhappily, "It's not that I inherited your stunt!" β
Xie Xiaoer twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and he often used the trick of pretending to be sick to shirk a lot of things.
"But we made an appointment yesterday to discuss things in the Purple Pavilion! But you didn't come, really! β
"I just can't get out anyway."
Qu Youying didn't want them to know that Mu Jingzhu was back because he was injured.
At least for a few days, the most important thing is to let him rest well.
She shook her head, and when she saw Su Tong coming in front of her, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she remembered what Mu Jingzhu told her when she bit her ear.
"If necessary, expose Su Tong's existence to the captain."
His words made Qu Youying sure that he also knew Su Tong's identity, and he was also very clear about the relationship between Su Tong and Taiwei.
So Su Tong, what is the origin, she looked at him, puzzled, and just asked, "Taiwei also looked for you?" β
"Yes." Xie Xiaoer hurriedly said, "It seems that there is a new clue for us to all go over." β
"So what are you doing out there? Isn't the Captain at your house? β
"Nope." Xie Xiaoer shook his head, "He's in the abandoned house on Fengling Street." β
Qu Youying narrowed her eyes, "There?" β
Xie Xiaoer didn't explain much, and the three of them went to the abandoned house on Fengling Street.
It was still heavily guarded, but it was obvious that half of the manpower had been drawn out in order to find Yang Wan'er.
So the thirteen rivers really came to transfer people that day?
Qu Youying walked into the abandoned house with a stomach full of doubts.
Xu got the order of the captain early in the morning, and when those people saw them, they didn't say anything, so they turned sideways and let them in.
The wooden door was babbling open, and at a glance, I could see the white bones lining the yard on the ground.
It hadn't rained for a few days, and the bones were covered with things, so it wasn't affected too much.
And the captain stood on the passage in the center of the bones on both sides, standing with his hands in his hands, looking at the big trees and wooden houses in the courtyard, as if thinking about something.
"See Captain."
Several people saluted one after another, and the captain came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.
But when Qu Youying saw him turn around, she raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes.
This made her doubts even greater.
She looked over there, and where was there?
"Captain, you are looking for us, but what do you want to tell us?"
"It's good that you're here."
Taiwei beckoned to Thirteen Chuan, and Thirteen Chuan took out a box from his body and opened it in front of them.
This time, the box was no longer filled with a tail finger, but a piece of paper.
The three of them looked at each other, and finally Su Tong went to get it.
Thirteen Chuan stared at his hand, the pitch black in his eyes was as black as before, and when he saw him take out the paper, he put away the box and stood aside.
Qu Youying always felt that Taiwei and Thirteen Chuanshen were mysterious, so she observed their actions very carefully, and did not miss Thirteen Chuan's deliberate eyes staring at Su Yun's hand.
Her heart was beating like a drum, but she was still silent.
Su Tong unfolded the note, and only three sentences were written on it - Yue Lao Tree, Xilin White Bone, twenty-five years ago.
These three sentences are all too familiar to Qu Youying.
She suddenly thought of what the innkeeper said twenty-five years ago when she went to Baixiang Village, and what the woman who pretended to be Yang Wan'er said that night.
All of them are pointing out that the old moon tree, and the white bones that appear now, are all related to an incident twenty-five years ago.
But what exactly is that thing?
Qu Youying felt the need to check it out.
"This note was left with the severed finger when Wan'er disappeared at that time."
The lieutenant spoke, and no one asked him why he didn't take it out at that time, but just quietly listened to what he said next.
"I didn't take it out at the time, but I sent someone to check the meaning of the words, and then I learned that there is a Baixiang Village near Xiangling Town, and there is a moon-old tree in Baixiang Village, and I want you to investigate whether my daughter was arrested there."
Indeed, according to the information left on this paper, the target turned to the Yuelao Tree, and it was indeed in Baixiang Village.
But the problem was everything above that reminded her of what Mu Jingzhu had just said to her, telling her to tell the captain something they knew before if necessary.
She thought about it, and it was the Yuelao Tree Festival in Baixiang Village.
Despite the doubts in her heart, she was still willing to believe Mu Jingzhu.
Therefore, she stepped forward, stood directly in front of the captain, and said to the captain.
"Taiwei, in fact, I went to Baixiang Village with Jing Zhu to investigate, and I just wanted to know if the residents there knew about Xilin Baigu. But that matter was not investigated, but another incident happened, which was related to Ling Qianjin. β
Taiwei's eyes were shocked, "Tell me specifically, what is it?" β
"On the day we went to Baixiang Village, they were holding the Yuelao Tree Festival, and when the festival was held, we met a woman who pretended to be Miss Yang and came out to make trouble, and finally scared away on the grounds that she was punished by the Yuelao Tree. I haven't met Miss Yang, so I don't know what she looks like, and I know that her identity is also her self-reported home. But afterwards, Jing Zhu told me that she was not the real Miss Yang. So we hurried back to town, and when Bi'an's yard caught fire, we asked him to pay attention to Miss Yang's actions, but after a few days, there was nothing unusual. Unexpectedly, they were casting a long line to catch big fish, and a few days later, they still kidnapped Miss Yang. β
She thought that when the Taiwei found out about this, he would definitely be furious with his concern for his daughter.
However, although the Taiwei looked solemn after hearing this, he was not worried about his daughter's safety.
It's like I'm thinking, or I've noticed something.
It's complicated.
"You guys set off immediately, be sure to investigate all the secrets there, and bring Wan'er back!"
The three of them looked at each other and said, "Yes." β
"Wait, no, no. You don't go first. β
The captain didn't know what else he thought, and suddenly told them not to go first.
The three of them looked at each other, really not knowing what he was doing?
The captain lowered his eyes and frowned, his expression solemn with a hint of paleness.
He held his chin and thought for a long time, and finally asked them to leave first, and said that they were not allowed to go to Baixiang Village without his order.
After all, he was a lieutenant, and it was not good to protest in person, so the three of them quickly left from there.
Before leaving, Qu Youying looked under the tree again, thoughtful.
Xie Xiaoer called her several times in a row, and she woke up like a dream.
"What are you doing in a daze, what are we going to do next? From yesterday to today, the people of the entire Yamen have searched all over Xiangling Town, but they have not found anyone, so they can't search again, right? β
In fact, this has nothing to do with him, he is just idle and has nothing to do.
Su Tong glanced at Qu Youying thoughtfully, and suddenly said, "I remember that among the several corpses placed between the tree and the wooden house, there was the bones of a pregnant woman. β
Qu Youying was shocked, and raised her eyes to meet him.
"The stillborn woman?"
Su Tong smiled slightly and nodded.
