Chapter Forty-Six: Strange Bones

"Am I that terrible? Run away when you see me? ”

Mu Jingzhu pressed her, not giving her any chance to escape.

Looking down condescendingly, a shadow fell on her petite body.

She looked up at him, and the heartbeat in her chest began to slow down after a sudden acceleration.

Like a frost wrap, even the frightened eyes slowly condensed into frost at that moment.

There is a slight chill permeating it.

"That's because—"

His voice was low, as soft as his sideburns, and the breath he exhaled sprayed on his face, carrying the scent of her.

"You're getting too close."

He pushed the person away fiercely, lowered his head and straightened his slightly messy dress, his face slightly angry.

He is Liangyi, not Qu Youying.

Because Qu Youying hit her head and fainted.

He looked up and looked around, and saw that Mu Jingzhu's horse was parked not far away, and Qu Youying's customary toolbox also fell to the ground, so he knew the general idea.

"You're looking for me?"

He didn't say much, but he asked the main point.

Mu Jingzhu stared at him, and there was not much surprise in his black and white eyes.

Because as early as when his eyes changed, Mu Jingzhu knew who this person was.

But he still didn't break it.

"Yesterday a hundred dry bones were found in the wasteland outside the city, and now they have been brought back, because the left house is too small, so another place to put it is found. I'm afraid you don't know where to go, so I'll take you with me. ”

Mu Jingzhu looked ahead, bent down, picked up the toolbox that Qu Youying had dropped on the ground, and strode forward.

Liangyi stared at his back, this person was witty and thoughtful, and many things were invisible, let alone light.

But the more such people, the more terrible they are.

Although Liangyi followed his footsteps, he always kept a certain distance from him.

The two walked a long way, one after the other, until they stopped at an abandoned house near the left house.

Because it is abandoned all year round, the site is very empty, and it is the most suitable place to put dry bones.

"Jing Candle, Miss Qu, you are here."

It was still Baiqiu who greeted them.

He was attacked on the day he went to the temple to send his son, and although he was not seriously injured, he also lost his vitality.

But he suddenly encountered hundreds of dry bones, and the yamen did not have enough manpower, so he had to take the injury to work.

When Liangyi saw him, he squinted his eyes habitually, "You? ”

Bai Qiuben took them inside, how did he know that he had doubts when he heard her voice, and looked back at her.

"What's wrong with me?"

Liangyi smiled, glanced at the wooden candle beside him, and suddenly stepped forward, reached out and put his hand on Bai Qiu's shoulder, and his slender fingers ran over his chin.

Rascals!

"It's okay, I just think you're pretty handsome."

Bai Qiu didn't expect to be teased by Qu Youying, standing in the distance, and instantly petrified.

He has five out of twenty, but he is an upright person who does not understand the amorous feelings, and he has always identified the woman who is a wooden candle when Qu Youying, so he keeps his distance.

How did you know she would do this to him?

At that moment, where is just messy in the wind.

Bai Qiu clearly felt that the cold air on his back was fluttering, and he was about to freeze a layer of frost on his body.

Mu Jingzhu passed in front of him, pursed her lips and smiled at him.

Laughing, Bai Qiu's hair stood on end, and he immediately said, "I remembered that the yamen still had something to deal with, so I went over first." ”

"Does the yamen have something to do with you? Jing Zhu is more powerful than you, you come and help me. ”

Liangyi pretended to walk in front of a dry bone, squatted down, and stopped Bai Qiu's pace of escaping without raising his head.

"However, Jing Zhu has to go to the village near the place of the incident to inquire about the situation, and it is inconvenient to run on both sides."

"Then don't go."

Liangyi easily stopped Bai Qiu's urge to escape, and lifted the human bones covered with white cloth.

His eyes narrowed, and he opened several human bones in succession, and then opened his mouth in a calm voice.

"There's no need to go, there's a situation here."

Mu Jingzhu clipped his hands, interested in seeing what he was going to do.

But suddenly I heard him say that there was a situation, and everything was the case first, so he strode over.

"What's the situation?"

The two instruments did not raise their heads and pointed at these human bones of different sizes.

"You see, these bones, all of the complete ones, the male bones have missing one rib on the left side, and the female bones have missing one rib on the right side, and the same is true for children. And judging from the traces of the fracture, it should have been cut off from birth. ”

Bai Qiu squatted down across from him and looked at him carefully, "It's really like this." In this case, it should be the same people in the same place who will have the same customs. ”

Liang Yi kept a calm face and did not respond to this, but raised the hand bones of the nearest female corpse on his side.

"Look again. The length of this man's hand bones is twice as long as that of an ordinary woman. ”

He stretched out his arm for comparison, and it did grow about half a distance of his forearm.

"But it could also be the man's hand bones, accidentally misspelled?"

"And what do you look at the bones of the man's feet? It's that big, will the average person have it? ”

Bai Qiu went up curiously, and compared his feet with the feet of the male skeleton, which was twice as big.

"It's really weird, how could anyone look so weird?"

It is recorded in the book that there is a kind of clan whose children have different degrees of deformity due to intermarriage between close relatives within the clan. In general, most of these children do not live long. ”

"No, there's a way to live."

Liang Yi interrupted Mu Jingzhu's words, and his eyes were always shining, and at this moment, he seemed to have encountered a storm and attacked, becoming like the depth and horror of the night.

Mu Jingzhu stared at him, and those eyes became extremely unfamiliar, so strange that it seemed that there was a kind of blood about to drip out of them.

"What's the solution?"

Bai Qiu just felt that Qu Youying was a little cold and terrifying today, but her words really made him curious.

Liangyi opened his mouth, and was about to speak, when he suddenly noticed a silent strong wind approaching his lower back.

He instinctively stretched out his hand to block it, but his eyes unexpectedly saw Su Tong at the gate.

He was stunned for a moment, then lowered his hand, and was hit directly in the back by the strong wind.

The whole person fell forward, and fell directly to Bai Qiu stretched out his hand, and his forehead hit the hilt of his sword impartially.

Bai Qiu sat on the ground with a crushed butt, and accidentally smashed the strange big foot bones, which shocked him into a cold sweat.

"What's going on?"

He didn't dare to help Qu Youying, he looked at Mu Jingzhu with blank eyes, for fear that if he touched Qu Youying, the latter would settle the account afterwards.

"It's fine."

Mu Jingzhu shut up Bai Qiu very fiercely, grabbed Qu Youying's back collar, and pulled the person up unceremoniously, but his eyes looked coldly at Su Tong at the gate.

The blow that attacked Liangyi just now, he found it on the side.

But he didn't move, because with Liangyi's martial arts, it was insignificant to stop it.

But Mu Jingzhu didn't know why Liangyi suddenly stopped his hand, until he saw Su Tong who shouldn't have appeared at the door.

Because of this, he didn't know that method from Liangyi's mouth.

"What are you going to do?"

Mu Jingzhu held Qu Youying in his arms, staring at the door, very cold.

Su Tong appeared generously just because they wanted them to find him.

At this moment, he was named, and he walked in directly.

"This is the house I just bought, but it was misappropriated by the yamen, and as the owner of the house, I have to come and see what the situation is."

"You bought it?" Baiqiu got up from the ground, patted his butt and said, "When did you buy it?" ”

Su Tong took out a piece of paper from his arms and politely handed it over.

"It was approved late, but it was still a little earlier than you brought in this pile of bones."

Bai Qiu looked at the seal on it, and cautiously glanced at Mu Jingzhu.

"It's true."

Mu Jingzhu glanced at it, and his dark black eyes vaguely revealed a domineering spirit that was not angry but mighty, "I will make up the requisition approval of the yamen." ”

His voice was clear and deep, like a glass of wine that had been brewed for a long time.

After a slow oscillation, the innermost allure will be revealed.

Qu Youying was awakened by this breath, she opened her eyes in confusion, felt that her head was very uncomfortable, and subconsciously rubbed in Mu Jingzhu's arms.

Then she smelled a familiar masculine scent, and her face immediately turned red.

She shoved the person out and slapped him in the face.

But...... He didn't dare to really fight, but symbolically touched his face, and then quickly shrank back, and the person retreated many distances from him.

Because she was afraid that he would settle accounts after the fall.

But this move fell in Bai Qiu's eyes, and he was stunned.

In Su Tong's eyes, it became a smile of unknown meaning, he opened the folding fan and covered his mouth and nose, revealing only a pair of dark eyes.

"What are you holding me for, rascal!"

couldn't resist the strength of his limbs, and when facing Mu Jingzhu, Qu Youying moved his mouth and nose at most.

Mu Jingzhu reached out and touched the place covered by her palm, and her eyes suddenly narrowed.

Frightened, Qu Youying was like a fried cat, and took a few steps back one after another.

"Come here."

"What, what!"

Qu Youying shrank to Bai Qiu's side as she spoke, wanting to use him as a talisman to block him, and grabbed his arm.

Bai Qiu was startled, and when he raised his head, he met the terrifying gaze of Shangmu Jingzhu, causing him to almost choke to death with saliva.

Mu Jingzhu held back his eyes and said angrily, "Bone examination." ”

Qu Youying realized that she didn't know when she came here, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.

But she quickly reacted, most likely the familiar "amnesia", right?

In order not to make Mu Jingzhu's face worse, and not wanting to think of the feeling of being too intimate with him, Qu Youying obediently took the toolbox and began to examine the bones.

"These bones, I have been reassembled yesterday, the bones are strange, different from ordinary people, and the whole one rib is missing, the male left and the female right, you can read from the fracture should have been cut off when you were a child."

She gushed endlessly, and Bai Qiu touched her head and interjected, "You just said all this, why do you have to say it again?" ”

Qu Youying was taken aback, what did she just say?

She subconsciously glanced at Mu Jingzhu, who glared at Bai Qiu and said reproachfully, "Can't you say it again?" ”

Bai Qiu shuddered and shook his head desperately.

Qu Youying breathed a sigh of relief at this time, turned around and continued to look at the white bones.

"Judging from the case of bone calcification, it should be more than twenty years. I can draw the shape of the bones according to the shape of the bones. ”

Mu Jingzhu nodded and asked, "How long will it take?" ”

"It's hard to say, after all, it has been ossified for a long time. And to know who these people are, one portrait alone is not enough, as much as possible. ”

After all, it's a needle in a haystack, so the only way is to draw more.

"Good work. Need a helper, just say. ”

Mu Jingzhu knew that it would take a long time for her to paint such a corpse, so this can be said to be a big project.

"Okay, I heard that Xie Xiaoer is coming back, so I want him."

Qu Youying smiled, and her curved eyes were full of cunning.

Xie Xiaoer, whose real name is Xie Bi'an, is a good brother of Mu Jingzhu, with a stubborn temperament, and he acts mischiefly with Qu Youying, and is a fox friend in the true sense.

Mu Jingzhu twitched the corner of his mouth, wanting to refuse.

How did Qu Youying seem to see something, suddenly pushed him away, and walked quickly towards Baiqiu.
