Chapter 33: Someone gouged out his heart
After Feng Xiaobao heard Feng Tianyin say that, the longing in his eyes became even stronger.
"Mother, I want to go to the academy." Feng Xiaobao clenched his fists and said seriously.
Going to the academy and making friends is secondary, the main thing is that he can learn more.
Tonight's encounter made Feng Xiaobao understand the importance of becoming stronger.
"I'll leave it to my mother." Feng Tianyin hugged Feng Xiaobao and said with a smile, "My mother brought you here so that you can go to the academy, you wait a few more days, and after we find the house first, my mother will ask someone to sign up for you, how about it?" β
"Okay." Feng Xiaobao nodded, his expression full of longing.
It was already very late at night, and Feng Tianyin hugged Feng Xiaobao and talked for a while before taking him to wash and sleep.
The night sky outside, I don't know when, the moon was obscured by dark clouds, and the night sky, which was still a little bright, suddenly darkened and sank, and a cold wind blew through.
The prosperous emperor has no curfew, but it will not be so lively all night, and when it is ugly, it will be a lot quieter.
The old man of the watchman Wang walked slowly through the street with slow steps.
"It's dry, watch out for the candlesβ"
High-pitched voices spread all over the streets.
Old man Wang drank a little wine, his whole body exuded the smell of wine, and he shook it three times when he walked.
Suddenly-
Suddenly, a white shadow in front of him attracted his attention.
"Who's up front?" Old man Wang asked with a frown, and his pace couldn't help but slow down.
I have to say that when he saw the white shadow at first glance just now, he was taken aback.
In the middle of the night, a white shadow appeared on the dark road in front of him, and he thought he had seen a ghost.
But if you look closely, the shadow is standing on the ground with its feet on the ground, not floating in mid-air, so it can be concluded that it is not a ghost, but a person.
But who is this three watches who don't sleep in the middle of the night, wearing a white dress like a ghost, with his hair scattered, hanging around the street?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with this person, and the old man Wang magnified his courage and chased after the white shadow who was walking slower than a snail.
And the white shadow seemed to have not heard the old man Wang speak, and still walked forward with slow and heavy steps.
Walking behind the white shadow, Old Man Wang used the candlelight emitted by the lantern in his hand to see the person in front of him clearly.
It was a tall and slender woman in a long white dress.
"This girl, I'm talking to you, how dangerous it is for you to be alone outside in the middle of the night!" Seeing that the woman in the white dress still ignored him and walked forward by herself, the old man Wang felt more and more strange and weird, so he simply stretched out his hand boldly, wanting to hold the woman in the white dress and prevent her from continuing to move forward.
As soon as his hand touched the arm of the woman in the white dress, Old Man Wang was full of excitement, and he retracted his hand again like lightning!
He looked at the woman in the white dress in surprise, and his eyeballs almost popped out.
Oh, my God.
How could this girl's arms be so cold? He thought he had touched a block of ice, and the cold was scary!
At this moment, the woman in the white dress suddenly stopped.
She turned her head sharply and looked at Old Man Wang.
Her long black and messy hair covered her face, and only the red eyes on her face could be faintly seen, flashing with a mad bloodlust light.
Old man Wang was startled by her sudden movements, and let out a low cry from his mouth.
"Auntie, girl, are you uncomfortable, you ......"
Without waiting for Old Man Wang to finish speaking, the woman in the white dress suddenly stretched out her arm towards Old Man Wang.
The hand that was originally hidden in the wide sleeved robe, the pitch-black nails were more than an inch long, and directly pierced Old Man Wang's chest.
Old man Wang's eyes almost burst out of his sockets, and he glanced at the woman in front of him in disbelief, and then looked down at his chest in disbelief, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
The woman in the white dress suddenly withdrew her hand and pulled the old man's heart out of her chest.
Old man Wang's body fell heavily to the ground.
The woman in the white dress held the heart of the old man Wang and put it in front of her mouth, opened her big mouth, and bit it down.
In the quiet street, all of a sudden only the sound of a woman in a white dress munching frantically remained.
In the darkness, a black figure stood on the roof of a house on this street, silently watching the bloody and brutal scene below.
He wore a black cloak with a black hood that covered most of his face, revealing only a smooth chin and thin lips with a weird smile.
β¦β¦
The next day.
Not long after Feng Tianyin and Feng Xiaobao got up, Shen Zefeng knocked on the door.
"Yin'er, are you up?" Shen Zefeng's gentle voice sounded outside the door.
Feng Tianyin fixed the ink hair with a phoenix hairpin before getting up to open the door.
"Senior brother, it's early." Feng Tianyin greeted with a light smile.
Shen Zefeng wore a purple robe today, and his skin was fairer and his face was like a crown of jade.
Looking at Feng Tianyin, who was also wearing a purple dress and light makeup in front of him, Shen Zefeng's eyes quickly flashed with a look of surprise.
He and Yin'er have known each other for a long time, but every time he sees her, his heart still beats uncontrollably because of the amazement.
"Something happened in the city, Xiaobao went out in the middle of the night last night, right?" Shen Zefeng asked.
"Come in and talk slowly." Feng Tianyin made a way and let Shen Zefeng in.
"It just so happens that I brought you breakfast." Shen Zefeng smiled and shook the food box in his hand.
After entering the house, Shen Zefeng found that Feng Xiaobao was sitting at the table seriously practicing calligraphy.
Practicing calligraphy is a habit that Feng Xiaobao has developed in the past year, and every morning after washing, he always has to practice calligraphy alone for half an hour, and then eat breakfast.
Now, exactly half an hour has arrived, Feng Xiaobao put down the brush, and when he looked up and saw Shen Zefeng, a big smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Uncle Kaede, it's early." Greeted Shen Zefeng warmly, Feng Xiaobao jumped off the chair.
"Go wash your hands first, then come to eat." Feng Tianyin said to Feng Xiaobao, who was about to walk towards them.
"What's going on in the city?" While helping Shen Zefeng take out the food in the food box, Feng Tianyin asked.
Something must have happened, otherwise, Shen Zefeng would not have deliberately come to inform her.
"The old man Wang of the watchman in the city was gouged out of his heart in the middle of the night and died." Shen Zefeng didn't want Feng Xiaobao to hear such a bloody and brutal thing, so he lowered his voice and said to Feng Tianyin, "This is actually the third case of being cared out in the city, but the previous two deaths were all beggars and homeless, and the matter was suppressed by the imperial court, and ordinary civilians don't know about it." β
"How long has it been that there have been three incidents?" Feng Qianyin asked with a frown.
Who is so cruel that he actually gouges people's hearts?
"Half a month." Shen Zefeng replied with a solemn face, "It should be a monster." β
In the Qiantian Continent, the existence of demon clans and demon beasts is not a secret, but there is a peace contract between the demon clan and the human race, and no one can take the initiative to provoke disputes, otherwise they will be punished by heaven's punishment.
This peace contract has made the Qiantian Continent peaceful for hundreds of years, and now the demon clan finally can't bear it?
"Monsters?" Feng Tianyin's eyes were a little dark.
If it is really a monster, then this imperial capital is really unsafe.
Thinking of last night, Xiao Baosan was still wandering outside in the middle of the night and came back, Feng Tianyin's face was a little unsightly.
Looking at Feng Tianyin carefully, seeing her slightly frowning eyebrows, Shen Zefeng hurriedly said, "Yin'er, you don't have to worry, since you and Xiao Baolai are in the imperial capital, I will definitely protect you." β
"Senior brother, when have you ever seen me afraid?" Feng Tianyin raised the corners of his lips and said, his eyebrows and eyes were full of arrogant confidence, "If it is really a monster, he dares to come to harm me and Xiaobao, then I will definitely use all means to make it come and go." β
At the end of the words, a touch of coldness and ruthlessness flashed through Feng Tianyin's eyes.
She was originally such a character who was not afraid of things.
If people don't offend me, I don't offend anyone.
If anyone sins against me, he will not be spared.
It's as simple and crude as that.
"Where are the monsters?" Feng Xiaobao, who had washed his hands, shook his little hands and walked over.
"It's nothing, Xiaobao, come, the beef buns and osmanthus porridge from Xuefulou that your Uncle Feng specially bought for you. Come and eat. When he looked at Feng Xiaobao, Feng Tianyin's cold eyes were immediately filled with tenderness, and his smile was gentle and bright.
Feng Xiaobao sat next to Feng Tianyin, took the beef bun handed over by Feng Tianyin, and took a bite.
The skin of the beef buns is very thin, and when you bite into it gently, you will get a full and delicious meat filling inside.
Squinting his eyes in satisfaction, Feng Xiaobao smiled and said to Shen Zefeng, "Thank you, Uncle Feng." β
"Xiaobao, try not to go out alone to play lately, follow your mother, you know?" Shen Zefeng said softly to Feng Xiaobao.
Let's not talk about him, if something goes wrong with Xiaobao, Yin'er will definitely be unacceptable.
For Yin'er, Xiaobao is the most important existence, and this point, his senior brother and his and Yin'er's masters, are incomparable.
Feng Xiaobao vaguely guessed that something unpeaceful should have happened in the imperial capital, and he didn't ask more, but nodded obediently.
After breakfast, Shen Zefeng went to get busy.
And Feng Qianyin planned to take Feng Xiaobao to take a stroll on the street.
Today's weather is very nice, with blue skies and a gentle breeze.
Although the court deliberately suppressed the heart-digging case, it was a homeless wandering beggar who died before, which did not attract much attention, and this time it was the old man Wang who died in the imperial capital, and the old man Wang was also a well-known figure in the imperial capital, and he had a son who entered Jinyangmen.
Jinyangmen is a well-known and decent family on the Qiantian Continent, and you can't enter Jinyangmen without two brushes.
