23 This is the nightwalker

Stepping on the wet grass, carrying a medicine basket made of bamboo, carefully searching the surrounding flowers and plants, taking out a book to compare when I saw a familiar one, and occasionally picking wild fruits and vegetables.

A sound similar to a tree branch sounded from not far away, the sound was very slight, and it was still heard by Mo'er at the tip of his ear, looking around vigilantly, listening to the surrounding movements, but only hearing the sound of the wind blowing leaves and insects and birds.

"Did I hear it wrong?" Seeing that he heard no more sounds, he continued to walk forward.

A black shadow emerged from the shade of the tree, staring at the people who were far away, and only followed from behind when the people in front of them were far away.

When the clouds on the horizon were dyed golden, Mo'er came down from the mountain, patted the medicine basket with satisfaction, there were all kinds of medicinal herbs in it, and rushed to the medicine shop while it was still dark.

After trading with the owner of the pharmacy, it was dark, every household lit oil lamps or candles, the smell of rice wafted out from it, "gurgling" touched the belly that made a sound, and quickened the pace in the direction of home, and when he was about to reach the intersection, he saw Licheng.

"Sister Mo'er, why do you always come back after dark, I didn't tell you that it's not safe for a while." Licheng basically has to say that every time he sees her.

"Got it, I'll be careful." Mo'er replied angrily.

"What do you always say, you ......"

"Are you going on patrol now?" Mo'er diverted the topic and asked, otherwise, this guy Licheng would have to talk for a long time.

"yes!"

"Then you hurry up." Mo'er said as she pushed: "Don't always talk about me, you have to be careful and safe." ”

Licheng was pushed by Mo'er, his face turned red, the moonlight was not very bright, and there was no candlelight around, and Mo'er didn't notice his abnormality at all.

"Well, then I'm leaving."

"Okay, be careful at work." Mo'er waved at him and returned home, and the black shadow that had been following him quickly disappeared.

As soon as the sun rises, the people in the houses start to get up and move, and the younger ones either go to work in the city, or do some small sales and farm work.

Grandma Zhang took a water scoop and poured it into the vegetable field, which was not big, just behind the house, planted some green vegetables that were easy to grow, and the laughter of a group of children came from the yard.

"Ahhh~" Mo'er stood outside the door and stretched comfortably to stretch her muscles.

"Morning! Sister Mo'er. "Licheng also just came back from the night shift.

"Morning, Licheng, go back early to rest after the night shift."

"Well, do you want to go up the mountain to collect medicine today?"

"That's right!"

"Remember to come back early tonight." Licheng said with a serious look in his eyes.

Mo'er frowned slightly, leaned in and asked in a low voice, "Something happened again last night?" ”

Licheng nodded: "Another victim has been found, this is the fourth, the people in the government have been scolded, more than a month has passed, and no line has been found, if it continues like this, it will definitely make a small knife on us." ”

"Do you want to fire your squid?"

Licheng looked at her suspiciously: "What squid?" What's the matter with fried squid? ”

Mo'er chuckled and said, "I mean dismissal, if the murderer hasn't done it, will he fire you?" ”

"That's right!" Licheng sighed, and said helplessly: "It is said that the people below us did not do a good job, so that the murderer succeeded again and again, to be honest, I also wanted to catch the murderer, but there was no clue at all, and the patrol every night did not even find a shadow, and the victim appeared." ”

Mo'er patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Skynet is restored and not leaked, and the murderer will definitely be punished." ”

"I hope so! Then I'll go back to rest first, and I'll have to go to work in the afternoon. ”

Bidding farewell to Licheng, Mo'er went up the mountain with a medicine basket on his back after breakfast, a book of medicinal herbs in his arms, and a cloth bag containing dry food and a kettle.

Mo'er still went up the mountain to collect medicine as usual, and brought three or four days of dry food today, planning to go deep into the mountains to see if there were any more expensive medicinal materials.

Jogging along the path, glancing around from time to time out of the corner of her eye, she could feel a strange gaze these days, and she firmly believed that she didn't feel wrong, and she also tried to shake off the other party, but it was unsuccessful. After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure out who was following me.

After a few days, I also found that the person who followed me didn't do anything, just followed behind, although there was no danger, but there were always people peeping in secret, and I was always uncomfortable.

"I'm going to get rid of you today." Mo'er secretly thought that she had forgotten that even if she got rid of the other party now, the other party knew that she lived there.

Occasionally you can meet one or two people on the side of the mountain, as you go deeper and deeper into the mountain, the surrounding people are inaccessible, there are no mountain paths, some are just dense trees and grasses, you can only take thick branches to open a path on the grass, one can beat the dangers hidden in the grass, poisonous snakes and the like, and second, it is convenient for you to walk.

There was a sound behind me that was different from the surrounding sound, a very slight sound, and if you didn't keep an eye on the tracker, it was easy to ignore it, "It seems that the difficult road can't help but affect me, even the other party." Mo'er thought proudly, "If you want to find a way not only to get rid of him, it's best to come back to follow him or catch him and ask him to understand." ”

The night in the deep mountains came quickly, the faint sunlight was blocked by the woods, and the temperature began to drop, Mo'er was lucky to find the cave, entered the cave to carefully search for any dangerous objects, and found that everything was normal, so he was relieved to pick up some firewood around, and before the last ray of sunlight fell, a fire was lit, and the surrounding area was illuminated red, and the figure on the stone rock was very long.

At that time, a black shadow passed quietly through the entrance of the cave, and then hid in the dense grass, the black shadow in the cave was still motionless, and the owner seemed to be asleep.

Soon after the fire was burned, the sky began to turn slightly white, and when the first rays of sunlight shone into the grass, a sound was found about twenty meters from the entrance of the cave, and the person standing on the branch of the tree was slightly suspicious, and there were some doubts in his heart, when did she come out? Although there were doubts, he did not stop, slid down from the tree, and followed with a light step.

The man in the grass took all this into his eyes, a smug smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the pear socket on his cheek looked mischievous and cute.

When Mo'er was collecting firewood, she made a simple trap not far from the cave, as long as there were animals passing by, there would be the sound of people stepping on the branches, and she also cut a lot of grass, and made a human shape with these and put it in front of the fire, and slipped out when people were most tired in the middle of the night, she didn't know if she would be discovered, but she just wanted to gamble once, but she didn't expect to succeed.

Mo'er followed behind, not daring to get too close, only to see that the other party was not tall, not fat or thin, and was dressed in tight clothes and tight pants, "This should be a night suit." ”
