Chapter 17: Death
When Di Ye and Yu Xiaoyun returned to the inn, Lan Mu had been looking for them outside for most of the day, sweating profusely.
After receiving the news that they had returned to the inn safe and sound, Lan Mucai wiped the hot sweat on his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately rushed back to the inn.
After being scolded by Lan Mu, Di Ye said what they had encountered in that small courtyard, and they finally escaped back, but Xiaobai didn't know where to run and hadn't found it yet.
When Lan Mu heard this, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, and secretly swore that he would never dare to bring them out privately in the future. If these two children have a case, even if they sell him, he can't afford to lose!
As for the dirty things they saw, Lan Mu was also shocked and looked incredulous.
Listening to Di Ye's careful description of the appearance and characteristics of the man in white, Lan Mu suddenly found that he actually recognized that person.
Ao Yuan, a proud disciple of the Dongcen faction, known as "gentle as jade and humble son", how could he do such a dirty thing and attack two innocent children to kill people!
Lan Mu didn't tell Di Ye and Yu Xiaoyun what they were seeing, implying that their guess was right, it was a kind of unsightly lynching, which was extremely shameful to say, and warned them: "Okay, with the fat uncle here, that person doesn't dare to come to trouble you again." You'd better forget about it and never mention it in front of anyone. ”
Di Ye and Yu Xiaoyun nodded silently, it was both an unsightly and shameful lynching, and it was so terrible, if you forget it, forget it, and don't mention it if you don't mention it.
I don't know where Xiaobai will run, Lan Mu took Di Ye and Yu Xiaoyun out to look for a while, and only returned to the inn after dark, but still didn't find Xiaobai.
After dinner, Lan Mu asked the two children to go back to the room to sleep, and asked the groom to keep watch outside, and never let them run out again.
Lan Mu went out of the inn again, inquired around, and searched for most of the night, but there was still no trace of Xiaobai.
As for Ao Yuan's house, Lan Mu thought about it and didn't plan to settle accounts with him.
Lan Mu speculated that if Ao Yuan had nothing wrong with his brain, he should not be stupid to find two more children to kill him. Di Ye and Yu Xiaoyun are both children, and they don't recognize who he is, even if they tell people about it, others may not be able to guess that it is him. If he chased these two children and didn't let go, wouldn't he take the initiative to make his ugly things public! If Ao Yuan hadn't come to trouble these two children, he would have acted as if nothing had happened.
Unable to find Xiaobai, Yu Xiaoyun was always worried, and he didn't fall asleep after lying in bed for most of the day.
Di Ye yawned a few times in a row, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, fell into a deep sleep, turned over, and pressed Yu Xiaoyun with one hand.
The light was always on in the room, and Yu Xiaoyun carefully removed Di Ye's hand, and looked at his face with the light.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you in the future!"
Yu Xiaoyun always remembered what Di Ye said to him.
Today at a dangerous moment, Ye'er used his body to protect him twice, protecting him, looking back, he felt very relieved, he was not afraid at all.
In addition to Master, Ye'er is the best for him!
Yu Xiaoyun stretched out his hand and gently touched Di Ye's face, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
***
Lan Mu originally planned to stay in Luoyue Town for one night and return to Lingshan the next morning, but now Xiaobai is nowhere to be found, and he has to continue to look for it when he gets up in the morning.
Xiaobai may have run out of the town a long time ago and hid in the nearby mountains, but it is difficult to find.
Seeing that Yu Xiaoyun was unhappy, Lan Mu comforted: "If you can't find it this morning, let's go back to Lingshan first and notify the others to come and look for it together." Xiaobai shouldn't have run too far, and there will definitely be a lot of people to find it. ”
Lan Mu took Di Ye and Yu Xiaoyun to walk around the town to see if there was any trace of Xiaobai near the town.
After searching for a while, I heard a voice in the distance.
Early in the morning, the outside of the town was even more lively than the Lingbao Market, and I don't know what happened, the two groups of people faced each other-for-tat, drawing their swords to each other.
A group of passers-by stopped to watch the excitement, opened their eyes wide, stretched out their necks to look in the same direction, some asked what was going on, some whispered about human life, and there was a lot of commotion.
Hu Yulou, a protégé of the Dongcen faction, died tragically outside the town last night, and was killed by a sword piercing his heart. Ao Yuan, a disciple of the Dongcen Sect, suspected that the Evil Demon Dao Sect had done it, and was blocking the young valley master of the String Moon Valley, Youyun Zixing, to ask for the guilt. Youyunzi began to deny it, claiming that he hadn't seen Hu Yulou at all last night. Ao Yuan insisted that the last person Hu Yulou saw last night was Youyunzi, and when he died, he was still holding the jade pendant he was carrying, who else could he kill if he didn't kill it!
Seeing Ao Yuan take out the jade pendant that was torn off the knot, the evidence was conclusive, and Youyunzi had to admit that he had indeed seen Hu Yulou last night, but refused to admit that he had killed the person. Ao Yuan concluded that he had killed the person, drew his sword and killed him, and severely punished the murderer on the spot, asking him to take his life for his life. Youyunzi was unwilling to be captured, and waved his sword against each other, and the two of them hit one place.
When the people of the String Moon Valley saw that they were moving, they rushed up, wanting to help the young valley master get out. The other people who were on Ao Yuan's side also showed their blade magic weapons one after another, mingling with the people of Xianyue Valley.
Seeing Ao Yuan from afar, Di Ye and Yu Xiaoyun were afraid to hide behind Lan Mu.
Lan Mu wanted to take them away immediately, but when he heard the name "Hu Yulou", he was another familiar person.
Hu Yulou was not a disciple of the Dongcen faction, but a protégé who was an observer, but somehow he was kicked out of the Dongcen faction less than two years ago. It is said that Hu Yulou looks feminine and beautiful, and his piano skills are outstanding, and many elegant sons and beauties seek to see him, just to listen to him play a song.
Lan Mu remembered Di Ye's description of the man in Tsing Yi again, and guessed that the man in Tsing Yi yesterday was probably Hu Yulou.
Thinking of Ao Yuan's intention to kill people yesterday, Lan Mu couldn't help but speculate, could it be that Ao Yuan was afraid that his dirty things would be exposed, kill Hu Yulou, and then blame Youyunzi? If that's the case, wouldn't Youyunzi be very wronged? Ao Yuan, a man with a human face and a beast's heart, even killed Hu Yulou, I am afraid that he will not let go of the two innocent children! If you don't act at this time, you will leave trouble!
"Di Ye, little uncle, you don't have to be afraid, come with me."
Taking advantage of the inextricable fight between the two groups, he took Di Ye and Yu Xiaoyun to sneak to the corpse and uncover the corpse cloth, so that Di Ye was indeed not the man in Tsing Yi he saw yesterday.
Di Ye covered his eyes with his hands under Lan Mu's encouragement, and his fingers slowly opened the gap, looking at the corpse's head through the gap between his fingers. Hu Yulou's face was indeed beautiful, Di Ye recognized him after looking at his miserable white face twice, but when he saw his death, he couldn't help but shout: "It's him!" ”
Di Ye's shout immediately attracted the minds of everyone present.
"Who is it?" Yu Xiaoyun stretched out his head and leaned over, wanting to see it too.
"Uncle Junior, don't look at it." Di Ye covered his eyes and pushed him aside.
