"Old man, edamame is gone again?"

"Hmm."

"When did he get out?"

"Just now."

"Where can he go in the middle of the night?"

"I don't know."

"When he goes out at night, he comes back early in the morning, and when he comes back, he only knows how to sleep, what's wrong with him." Old Madam Feng's voice trembled, with a crying tone.

"Why don't we go out and look for it?" Old man Feng proposed.

"Go out and find it?" Old Mrs. Feng felt numb when she remembered that there were all cemeteries outside. "I don't dare!"

"Don't dare? What if Edamame learns from his father, what do you say we should do? ”

"Learn from his father? You mean - tomb robbing? Old Mrs. Feng thought of her two sons, and her heart panicked. No, no, Edamame is only eight years old, how could he go to rob the grave. ”

"Didn't you look at his hands? His nails are full of mud, and there are graveyards all around here, so he can't use his hands..."

"Pure nonsense! The soil is so hard, he is a little child, digging graves with his hands? ”

"There's such a disease in the roots!" Old Man Feng sighed. "I've got to go check it out!" Old man Feng picked up the wooden stick at the head of the bed, pushed open the door and walked out.

"Be careful, old man." Old Madam Feng hesitated again and again, and finally did not dare to go out.

Fortunately, this fashion is in mid-September, the moon is bright outside, the stars are bright, although there is a breeze, but it is warm, which makes Old Man Feng's heart feel a lot more steady.

Old man Feng walked out of the courtyard gate and raised his eyes to look at the cemetery.

Under the moonlight, everything in the graveyard seemed to be able to be seen clearly.

The cemetery is overgrown with weeds, graves, and tombstones. Because of the hot weather, the phosphorus fire is fluttering, the insects are chirping, and there are occasionally a few wild dog barks.

Old man Feng was originally quite timid, but his heart trembled a little at this time, but when he thought of his two sons and the beloved edamame, he gritted his teeth and walked towards the cemetery with a stick.

There were many shadows in the cemetery, with its own shadows, the shadows of artemisia, the shadows of tombstones, the occasional crackling sound, and the sound of something scratching the planks.

Old Man Feng kept his brain empty, didn't think about anything, just walked briskly between the graves.

"Edamame, edamame, good grandson, where are you?" Old Man Feng muttered silently, trying to concentrate all his energy on this one thing. However, after turning around for more than ten minutes, Old Man Feng still failed to find Edamame's figure.

Could it be that I guessed wrong? Impossible.

It's been five days since Edamame came back. From the first day, I would sneak out in the second half of the night every day and come back at dawn. Ever since Old Man Feng found out, he had been muttering in his heart, and now he couldn't sit idly by no matter what.

I still have such a hope left, and I can't take a detour again.

Old Man Feng pondered as he continued to walk deeper into the graveyard.

There are more than 3,000 graves that can still be seen in this cemetery. In the middle of all the burial mounds, there is a huge burial bag. It is said that during the plague five years ago, because there were so many people who died, all the homes of those who had no body were buried.

Old man Feng walked and walked to this grave bag. Old Man Feng raised his eyes to look at the tomb bag, and vaguely saw a cloud of black gas in the sky above the tomb bag, a black shadow in the shape of a baby rolling in the black gas, a pair of blood-red eyes shining, looking particularly bewitching in the moonlight.

Old man Feng was so frightened that his legs became weak, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down, and he walked on the ground with his buttocks.

The baby seemed to have spotted Old Man Feng and turned his head to look at him, the red light in his eyes was brighter, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

Old man Feng only felt that the blood was gushing up, his scalp was numb for a while, and his throat and eyes seemed to be blocked by something, he wanted to scream, but he only made a uh-uh sound.

Run!

This was Old Man Feng's only thought. He tried to turn around, using his hands and feet together, and crawled forward as if he were deadly as he looked back. In a panic, Old Man Feng felt that the little baby seemed to be getting closer and closer to him, getting closer and closer, and he opened his mouth, as if he was telling himself something. However, all Old Man Feng could see was his mouth full of black, sharp and fine broken teeth.

"Ahh Old Man Feng couldn't help but let out a shout, stood up in a panic, and ran forward lifelessly.

"Hah!" There was a heavy breathing sound from the direction of the large grave bag.

Old man Feng looked back and found that the baby just now was flying higher and seemed to be flying towards him. "Don't come here! Stay back! Old man Feng shouted as he ran forward lifelessly.

Bang!

In a panic, Old Man Feng hit his head on a tombstone, blood suddenly gushed out, and he fainted for a while.

Oh! Oh!

A moment later, several dark shadows surrounded Old Man Feng.

Dog, or wolf?

It should be a dog! However, these dogs had red eyes, were skinny, clamped their tails, bared their teeth, and slowly approached Old Man Feng.

The wild dogs in the cemetery have eaten human flesh, so naturally they will not let go of the fresh meat that Old Man Feng sent to the door, especially under the stimulation of fresh blood.

Ha!

Just as the wild dogs came to Old Man Feng's approach, a small figure suddenly appeared in front of Old Man Feng and shouted intimidating at the wild dogs.

Oh! Oh!

The wild dogs were stunned for a moment, then bared their teeth and barked menacingly.

The small figure smiled eerily, then opened its mouth wide, and a cloud of black gas gushed out of his mouth. The wild dogs immediately looked frightened, turned around and tried to flee, but staggered under their feet, and in a moment they all fell to the ground.

The small figure looked at these wild dogs, then looked back at Old Man Feng on the ground, and finally reached out to pick up Old Man Feng, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"It's finally a success."

Not long after the small figure disappeared, a black mist appeared above the wild dog's corpse, and a pair of red eyes shone in the black mist.

Early the next morning, Old Man Feng found himself lying in his yard. He hurriedly got up and ran back to the house in three steps and two steps, but there was only Mrs. Feng in the house, and Edamame was still nowhere to be found.

………

"Master, what do you need Miao'er to do for you?"

"Just do what you have to do."

"What should be done?"

"Dispensing medicine." Sun Kui's face was expressionless. "This is where you work. Food, clothing, shelter, and use are all available here, and you are not allowed to step out of this room without my permission. ”

"Otherwise, do you think I'll cut your father first, or that lizard first?" Sun Kui showed a hint of a smile.

"I know." Wei Miao'er ignored Sun Kui's threat. "Master, you also know Miao'er, if you push Miao'er too hard, Miao'er is not a person who is greedy for affection."

After Wei Miao'er said this, she turned around and walked into the room.

The room was big and spacious. There are all the equipment for dispensing medicines, and there is a bed in the corner, a wardrobe next to the bed, and then a desk, table and chair. All the utensils and supplies are very exquisite, and you can see that they are worth a lot of money at a glance. At the door and around the corner, there are even flowers and plants such as Wenzhu and Fugui bamboo.

In addition to the lack of windows, it can really be called a top-of-the-line configuration for a doctor.

Although Wei Miao'er was a little tired, she had no intention of resting at all, and her mind was full of the safety of her father and long tongue. Therefore, she simply picked up the prescription left by Sun Kui and tried to find some clues from the prescription.

Polygonum multiflori, eleutherococcus senticosus, Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, wolfberry... It is all a great tonic medicinal material, and He Shou Wu is more than a hundred years old, Ganoderma lucidum is actually blood Ganoderma lucidum, and ginseng is a thousand-year-old ginseng!

All of them are rare and precious medicinal herbs, and they require fifty compresses at a time!

Where did Sun Kui get so much money? If this is the case day after day, even if Sun Kui is the king of medicine, it is impossible for him to have such huge financial resources, and even a local official will not be able to bear it.

Unless!!

When Wei Miao'er thought of this, her heart felt sad.

This is probably the only possibility.

"Hey!" Wei Miao'er couldn't help but sigh.

"Little sister, why are you sighing?" An eleven or twelve-year-old boy suddenly appeared behind Wei Miao'er.

"Because I'm not happy." Because of the relationship between the long tongue, Wei Miaoer has long been used to this kind of thing. "Who are you?"

"Me? My name is Mo... Black line. "The ink line is the ink line, the descendants of the Mo family are amazing." Wei Miao'er glared at Mo Xing angrily. "I can't get out of this room, so you don't have to lie to me."

"Hey, young lady, you're so smart." Mo Xing scratched his head. "Why can't you get out of this room?"

"Because of Sun..."Wei Miao'er was about to complain, but she didn't think it was interesting. Because I'm lazy. "Wei Miao'er is too lazy to take care of Mo Xing." I'm going to work, you go away. After Wei Miao'er finished speaking, she picked up the copper scale and began to weigh the medicinal herbs.

Sun Kui is worthy of being the king of medicine, not only accurately marking the dosage of each herb, but also marking the order of decoction, and even the time has clear requirements. What Wei Miao'er has to do is to weigh each herb, wrap it into small packets in order, and then hand it over to the boy to decoction.

Mo Xing stood behind Wei Miao'er and stared blankly for more than half an hour. Wei Miao'er weighed the weight of one medicinal herb, then put in a small packet, then weighed another, and then put it in a small packet, and so on, there was no fun at all. "Little sister, you..."

"Shut up!" Wei Miao'er stared at the copper scale tightly and spoke unceremoniously. "The dosage is related to the severity of the efficacy, there is no room for mistakes, and I will talk about it later!"

Mo Xing was choked by Wei Miao'er's words, his face flushed, and his eyebrows were locked. From childhood to adulthood, who dared to talk to him like this! Mo Xing wanted to have an attack immediately, but when he saw Wei Miao'er's focused eyes, he was completely immersed in his own world, and for some reason, the anger in his stomach disappeared cleanly, and he just stood in place, staring blankly at Wei Miao'er after dispensing fifty dressings.

"It's finally done." Wei Miao'er stretched her waist and moved her neck left and right, only to find that Mo Xing was still beside her.

"Hey, why do you have a hobby with a long tongue." Wei Miao'er glanced at Mo Xing, turned around and walked to the door, and pulled down the rope on the side of the door.

"Dingding!"

A bell rang, and two boys ran out of the opposite room. The two boys were all fourteen or fifteen years old, with the same dress and the same dull expressions.

"The medicine is ready." Wei Miao'er glanced at the two boys, and then pointed to the medicine bag on the table.

The two boys ran over in a panic, but when they saw Mo Xing standing in front of the table, they immediately stopped in place, with a look of fear on their faces.

"What's wrong?" Wei Miao'er frowned.

The two boys shook their heads, but they still stood still, not daring to move.

"Ink line! What did you do to them? Wei Miao'er glared at Mo Xing, and Mo Xing hurriedly waved his hand. I didn't do anything this time. ”

"This time? Just look at you and torture them a lot! Wei Miao'er glared at Mo Xing again. They are just a bunch of children who have been frightened by Master, so why should you embarrass them. Wei Miao'er's expression was gloomy, and a trace of pity flashed in her eyes.

"I..." Mo Xing also knew that it was not easy for these boys, but he was usually too boring, so he often teased them, and he thought it was no big deal, but in front of Wei Miao'er, he actually felt that he had made a big mistake. I'm not going to play tricks on them again. Mo Xing whispered.

"That's pretty much it." Wei Miaoer's face looked much better. "I thought you were a complete nasty ghost, but I didn't expect that it would be the same as a long tongue, and a man who knows his mistakes and changes them."

"Really?" Hearing Wei Miao'er's words, Mo Xing was overjoyed.

"As long as you can walk the talk!"

"I swear by Mo Xing, I will do what I say!" Mo Xing stretched out two fingers and really swore an oath.

"Okay, I trust you." Wei Miao'er nodded at Mo Xing. "You two hurry up and work, if Mo Xing dares to tease you in the future, you will come and tell me, and I will ignore him in the future."

The two boys nodded vigorously at Wei Miao'er, picked up the medicine on the table, and hurriedly ran out.

"Little sister, what's your name?"

"My name is Wei Miao'er."

"Wei Miao'er, your name is so nice." Mo Xing looked at Wei Miao'er flatteringly. "I'll call you Sister Miao'er in the future, is it okay?"

"Yes! Who made you earn my trust that. Wei Miao'er said casually, which made Mo Xing overjoyed again.

"Hmmm! Sister Miao'er! ”

"Hmm." Wei Miao'er nodded at Mo Xing, and then turned her head to look away, a hint of cunning light flashed in her eyes.

………

Li You sat in front of the bookcase and looked through Liu Bao's file.

Flawless, couldn't find any loopholes!

Studying since childhood, encountering wars, fleeing to Shengtang County, being recommended for filial piety, and finally approved by the Ministry of Officials, he was appointed as the county lieutenant of Shengtang County.

Li You believes that his resume will not be so perfect.

What is too perfect also explains the problem.

Li You looked at the unified handwriting in the file and couldn't help but sigh.

After all, this Shengtang County is an important place, and within a small county office, it is actually Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Could it be that in Shengtang County, there are still secrets that he doesn't know?

Thinking of a series of abnormal events that had occurred recently, Li You had to affirm his inference.

The cat demon, the fox demon, Dongfang Bai, Ouyang Jian, Ouyang Yan, Granny Jin, and the recent ghouls, as well as the warrior monks mentioned by Wang Miao, these people are not ordinary people.

In the two years since his arrival, Shengtang County has been calm. However, within this year, strange people and strange things kept appearing, and I had reached the point where I was about to be overwhelmed.

What is the secret behind Shengtang County after all? Does the case of ghouls eating people have anything to do with this secret?

"Master, it's not good! Oh no! Just when Li You was deep in thought, Liu Zhong ran in in a panic again.

"What's wrong again?" Li You has become accustomed to Liu Zhong's style.

"Dead again, dead man."

"Dead again?" Li You frowned. "Who?"

"Liu Da and her daughter-in-law Liu Wang."

"Liu Da?" Li You seems to have seen this name somewhere.

That's right! Archives!

Li You hurriedly opened Liu Bao's file, and in the relatives column, the name of "Liu Da" was clearly written, and Li You's heart couldn't help but move.

Could it be that this Liu Da is the person he is looking for?
