Chapter 44: Between the Clouds and Water
The moon is shining brightly, and the night is dark.
The mountains in the distance are like beasts roaring in the night, surrounding Shuiyun Village!
Gu Changqing and Guan Shan sat under the eaves of this door for a long time, there was a slight snoring sound in the deep sleep, and there was a cool wind and moon outside, Gu Changqing was silent for a long time before he suddenly said, "Village Chief Guan, how many families are there in your village!" ”
Guan Shan didn't react for a while, and was stunned for a moment, "We have more than 20 households in Shuiyun Village, although there are mountains and land, but this is too remote, and we have moved a lot in the past ten years!" ”
"And this is a long way from the place where the dead man you said you were staying during the day?"
"It's not far, and it's only time to walk with a stick of incense?"
Gu Changqing sighed without emotion, and then fell into thought again, "Have you been working in that field today?" ”
"I went with Qinghe when the sky was bright!" Guan Shan replied.
"You were there early in the morning, and there were no strange people in the meantime, and you didn't find out until after noon, why?" Gu Changqing frowned.
"We farmers, we are no longer surprised by this scarecrow, and we are going up the mountain to do work, and we are too busy to be busy, where do we have time to pay attention to this thing?" Guan Shan sighed.
"With so many bugs and flies surrounding him, how can you not pay attention?" Gu Changqing asked again.
"What's this? Isn't there a saying that fertilizer and water do not flow into outsiders' fields, which is an urgent matter for everyone in the mountains, and it is not a strange thing to solve the problem of attracting insects and flies in this field, and no one will pay attention! Guan Shan said, unexpectedly showing a slight smile, "Master Gu, I know you want to find clues, but the two points you suspect may be doubts for you, but they are not strange to us!" ”
"I just think it's a little weird!" Gu Changqing replied with an embarrassed smile, "By the way, what about your daughter-in-law?" I heard that there is a little grandson! ”
"The daughter-in-law took her grandson back to her parents' house." Guan Shan's gaze fell on the southeast corner of the courtyard, where a simple shed was built, and inside was the deceased, "Sun Zixiao, I can't see such a thing, I fled!" ”
Gu Changqing's eyebrows lowered, and the whole person gradually merged with the night.
After the night, the rooster crows in the early morning to wake everyone up.
Yan Mu secretly leaned beside Gu Changqing and said, "You went out last night, what's the matter, did you find anything?" ”
"Found what?" Gu Changqing asked inexplicably.
"Murderer? Didn't you suspect that this family brought people in! Yan Mu took the towel and wiped his face indiscriminately, and said.
"Who said that? I didn't, I just lived here because I thought it was delicious. That's all! Gu Changqing said unashamedly, but what Yan Mu said was not wrong, he did have doubts about the two of the Guan family at first.
Or rather, there are doubts now!
After breakfast, Gu Changqing left Guan Shan a piece of silver, partly for the food and lodging of these people in the county government, and partly for the coffin of the deceased, and then walked out with Yanmu and the others, leaving Chen Gang and them to guard the body!
Shuiyun Village to a very unprosperous town, the two of them only used about half a pillar of incense, I thought that at least it had to be seen in the past, but what caught the eye was only a little better than Shuiyun Village!
"Are you sure there's an inn here?" Yan Mu asked without knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Village Chief Guan said that there is, there will be one!"
"What if he lied to you!" Yanmu scoffed at this!
"Remember what I said! Anything that can be found is generally not used to lie, but everything that is used to lie is not easy to find! Gu Changqing stood under the shadow of the tree, a very good-looking face flickering in the shadows and sunlight, "For example, there is really an inn near Shuiyun Village, and the deceased stayed overnight, since it can be checked, he will definitely not use this to lie!" Another example is the story of 30 years, such a thing is unbelievable and too far away, and it is more likely that few people know about it, so this can be made up! ”
After that, on the way to find the inn, Gu Changqing recounted the incident that Guan Shan said to Yan Mu, and Yan Mu was extremely surprised, "You mean that the person who made the aunt of the village chief Guan into a scarecrow in the past is back again?" ”
Gu Changqing glanced at it helplessly, and Yan Mu immediately waved his hand and said, "No, no, this is too incredible, how is it possible?" ”
"Nothing impossible, just things we haven't thought of yet! But I don't understand one thing, why was the body of that woman taken away and made like this? ”
"Could it be a cult? Human? Something like that? Isn't there often the kind of palace or big family that uses something to prick a rag doll with a needle, or is this just a kind of thing? Yan Mu said, and he couldn't help but shudder, "Is this a curse?" ”
"I don't know." Gu Changqing shook his head, "But I know that in the future, you will have to go to that storytelling hall in Yong'an City less!" ”
While speaking, the two had already walked to the front of a courtyard, and Yan Mu looked up incredulously, "This is the inn that the lady said just now!" ”
Gu Changqing looked at the somewhat damaged plaque at the door with a few words written "Water Cloud Room" and nodded, "It should be right!" ”
To put it bluntly, Shuiyunjian is a courtyard that looks slightly better than Guan Shan's house, and the only place that looks a little bit like an inn is that there are indeed so many more rooms here!
"Boss, is anyone there?" Gu Changqing shouted two words, but when he didn't see anyone, he heard a faint voice coming from inside, "Guests, please come in!" ”
Don't have a cave in the sky should be to describe this water and clouds, from the outside it looks unattractive, from the inside it looks elegant and exquisite, even Yan Mu, who has always been suspicious, couldn't help but drop his jaw at this time.
"Presumably the two of you are here for yesterday's scarecrow case, right? Truth be told, the deceased did stay with me for some time! ”
The sound slowly came through a veil of vines, like thunder and flashing.
"I hope Childe will come out and see him!" Gu Changqing looked at the shadow behind the vine yarn and said.
"Childe?" The man smiled sarcastically, and walked out with slender steps in laughter, and the veil was lifted, but it happened to meet Gu Changqing's eyes, "You call me Gongzi?" ”
Even Gu Changqing, who had seen a lot of wind and waves, couldn't help but tremble when he met the person's blood-devouring eyes, and he didn't even know whether to doubt his ears or his eyes.
This person is dressed in a light gauze dress, and the red plum belt tied around her waist shows her slender waist, with a gauze scarf on her face and a hairpin on her headdress! But this is indeed far from the sound just now.
The man looked at Gu Changqing's incredible face, and suddenly smiled sarcastically again, "Why, this Lord Gu who moved Yong'an City is so frightened that he can't give up like this!" ”
And what is even more soulless than Gu Changqing is Yan Mu who followed all the way.
