It's these bugs again, and I'm speechless. The book says that this kind of yin insect cannot be controlled by people. That's the evil spirit.
But I can't think of what kind of evil spirit such a village can provoke, and it would kill so much. And this cat, I don't know if it's the one I've been hearing barking about.
Zhou Lan took advantage of my brainstorming moment to squat down and check the cat's corpse.
The people around her kept reminding her that it was unclean. Zhou Lan just checked without saying a word, and I knew that she must have found some clues, so she didn't stop it.
This cat should have been dead for a long time, Zhou Lan clapped her hands, stood up and said to me.
Been dead for a long time? I can't believe it, but this cat came here on its own?
Because this kind of thing happens a lot, sometimes, I go with the medical examiner to examine the body, so I have a general idea of the condition of some of the corpses. Zhou Lan told me that according to my judgment, the cat had indeed been dead for a long time.
I've been dead for at least three days, and if you don't believe me, you can get a forensic doctor to do an examination. This is the simplest case.
I believe, I replied, so you mean that cat carcasses are also used for manipulation? But what is the purpose? Just to cause panic?
Zhou Lan shook her head and replied that she didn't see what the effect was. But she suspected that the animals that had died before the accident had died before that time.
Since I don't know why, let's clean it up, it's weird and ugly to put it here. And it stinks quickly. The host came up at this time and said.
Zhou Lan nodded and walked away first. The crowd of onlookers slowly dispersed, and soon someone brought a shovel or something to clean up the cat's carcass.
It was late and the host arranged a room for us. said let's rest early, but Zhou Lan never said that she wanted to sleep. Just watching the crowds come and go.
At first I didn't understand what she was doing, but then I did. She was watching to see if she could find the next person who was about to be killed.
If the people who had accidents before were all killed by the Yin Spirit, they would definitely have some kind of characteristics on them.
Zhou Lan didn't sleep, so I didn't go to sleep, and I kept waiting with her. Because there are many accidents, almost all of the people who stay to help are related.
The neighborhoods and other things have been going back one after another.
But I'm simply accompanying her, because I can't cultivate. I can see it, but I can't help it.
When it was almost 12 o'clock in the morning, everyone except their own family members who needed to guard the mourning hall said they would go back to sleep.
When Zhou Lan saw a little girl, she said happily that she had finally found it. Before she could explain it to me, she stepped forward and took the initiative to talk to the girl. And grabbed her.
After introducing themselves to each other, I knew that this girl's name was Li Yumei. It was the cousin niece of the deceased, who turned eighteen this year.
I hadn't seen her before, and it seemed that she had been following her all along. Girls talk well to girls, so she and Zhou Lan quickly became acquainted.
Although I was next to me, I was just taken by Zhou Lan.
You've probably heard of it, right? The gentleman you asked asked for a great man to help. Zhou Lan finally got to the point.
But when she said that, I almost didn't laugh out loud. The point is that this girl is still very cute, so if she asks her, she won't be talking about herself, right? Because she also heard that it was a beautiful beauty.
Zhou Lan pushed the boat down the river and said directly. Then tell her that the reason why she was held back and didn't let her go to sleep. It's because I found something strange on her. There's a good chance she'll be next.
Li Yumei looked at Zhou Lan a little scared and asked, you can't be joking, right?
Zhou Lan just looked at her seriously and didn't reply.
Li Yumei saw her so serious, in fact, I think she already believed most of it in her heart. But she still shook her head and insisted that Zhou Lan must be teasing her, and she was going back to sleep.
If you don't want to have an accident yourself, it's best to cooperate with me. Otherwise, it's likely to be too late. Zhou Lan didn't pull her either, just told her that you yourself know when the next one has an accident.
At this time, Li Yumei was really panicked and froze in place. It took a moment before he turned to look at her. Trembling and asked her, what should I do? Why me? What am I doing wrong?
You didn't do anything wrong, and it's not your fault. I'm looking into this, and if you listen to me, it'll be fine. Zhou Lan stepped forward and took her hand and told her.
You're going to save me. Li Yumei hugged Zhou Lan and cried and said, I don't want to die yet.
I know, but you listen to me, now you go to the shower and change clothes. I can't sleep tonight, so I'll stay with you in the mourning hall. Zhou Lan told her.
Can't sleep? Li Yumei didn't understand, why couldn't she sleep?
Zhou Lan didn't say anything, just let her do it, saying that it wouldn't hurt her. So that she can rest assured.
Li Yumei finally went, and I asked Zhou Lan what she saw. She just told me mysteriously that she would see when the time came. And told me to go to sleep, saying I didn't need help.
I insisted because I also wanted to know the ins and outs of the matter.
She told me very directly that it was okay to stay, but not to hold back. I nodded, saying I understood perfectly, she was going to save people. Surely you can't take care of me.
Zhou Lan looked at me a little unexpectedly and said, why don't you get angry when I say that?
What are you angry about? I know you said that on purpose. But I decided to stay, and I wouldn't care if you said that. I replied with a smile.
Zhou Lan snorted and laughed, and said that we will go to the mourning hall first and wait.
Kneeling in the mourning hall were the deceased's son, as well as his two classmates. The age is also about sixteen or seventeen, and I don't feel as old as Li Yumei.
When we entered, we introduced ourselves, and they were very polite and exchanged a bit. knew that his name was Tao Jian, and he had two classmates, one called Wang Fu and the other Li Guang.
In the past few days, they have been accompanying Tao to stick to filial piety, and Tao Jian's mother is not in good health. So Tao Jian insisted on not letting her come.
Tao Jian asked us, why don't we go to sleep? I think it's necessary to explain this for the sake of convenience. I'm not afraid to scare them, and this matter is known to everyone anyway.
So before Zhou Lan could speak, I first introduced Zhou Lan quite grandly. And then we are here to investigate.
Can you figure out why? The king's servant looked at me suspiciously and asked.
Will it off that guy? Li Guang's question made me speechless even more.
However, Tao Jian was a little more sensible and made them quiet. Don't bother us.
Zhou Lan didn't say much, just sat quietly next to him.
Because this kid is quite sensible, I can't help but make small talk with him.
Suddenly, a gloomy wind blew. Zhou Lan stood up, and Tao Jian and I immediately closed our mouths. Li Yumei hasn't come back yet, something must have happened.
Speaking of which, I just noticed that after all this time, she hasn't even returned. Not to mention bathing, even soaking in hot springs is almost the same.
The door suddenly slammed shut, and Zhou Lan said, here.
Wang Servant and Li Guang were so frightened that they squeezed together with each other, they were on Tao Jian's left and right, and with such a dose, Tao Jian in the middle was uncomfortable.
He looked at them with a frown, expressing his displeasure. Zhou Lan glanced at these people, and the two eyebrows frowned slightly.
Following her gaze, I found that her attention was on Tao Jian. I looked at the past, there was no change just now, and now I look at Tao Jian, his eyebrows are actually shrouded in a layer of black gas.
It's uncomfortable to look at, and with his unhappy face, his whole face looks a little dark.
Could it be that Zhou Lan made a mistake, it should be him?
Li Yumei is in the coffin and must be rescued immediately. When it was too late, the body could only be found in her home. Zhou Lan suddenly said such a news that overwhelmed me.
No way! Tao Jian immediately said that the coffin had been sealed, and it would be buried at five o'clock in the morning. It can't be opened now.
If you can't open it, you have to open it, I'm responsible for what happened, and now it's a matter of human life, so I can't hesitate! Zhou Lan said quite domineeringly.
Tao Jian immediately stood up and stood in front of the coffin. Saying that he didn't let us move, his two classmates were already scared and overwhelmed, where could they take care of this?
Tao Jian's performance surprised me a little, ordinary people know this kind of thing, shouldn't they be afraid? It's okay if he's so calm, but he still has his own thoughts.
Then there is only sorry, Zhou Lan saw that the persuasion was ineffective, and slowly walked towards this kid.
Is she going to do it? I looked around and saw that there was nothing to do but sit on some stools and chairs. Otherwise, it is the best choice to knock this kid out.
Zhou Lan walked up to Tao Jian's side, raised his right hand, and pinched a strange finger. Tao Jian suddenly rolled his eyes and fell.
it! I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked at it, is this magic?
Don't be stupid, open the coffin. Zhou Lan looked at me and said, then looked at his two classmates, and said, you don't want to be like Tao Jian, so hurry up and help.
The two boys were so frightened that they immediately ran over to help, and the coffin was completely sealed with ropes, mahogany nails and other things. You can't get it done this way.
The king's servant said that there was a way, and ran out, and after a while, he came with an iron spine and an axe.
Zhou Lan threw the axe out, saying that he couldn't use a sharp weapon. We can only use the iron vertebrae, and the rope will be untied after our continuous efforts. The last few people worked together to finally pry the peach nail open.
When we moved the coffin board, we saw Li Yumei in pajamas inside.
Yes! How so? What about Uncle Tao? The royal servant was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and as for Li Guang, he was speechless for a long time.
Zhou Lan walked over and pinched a sword trick and pointed it on Li Yumei's chest. Li Yumei coughed suddenly, and then opened her eyes.
When I saw myself in the coffin, I was so scared that I yelled. The coffin was simply supported by two benches. She tossed so much that she almost didn't get the coffin to the ground.
Zhou Lan kept telling her that it was okay. Let her come out first.
We just pulled Li Yumei out, and Tao Jian's mother and uncle heard the movement. He had already rushed over, picked up Tao Jian on the ground, and took another look at the coffin.
The entire mourning hall suddenly exploded, and Zhou Lan and I became the target of everyone. They would have thought that we had stolen the body.
Except for Li Yumei, no one believed what we said. The two bastards, Wang Fu and Li Guang, testified unanimously, saying that they saw us and stunned Tao Jian. I don't know if I'll be able to live now.
I fainted to death, isn't this to save Li Yumei? But we can't explain where the bodies go. I could only look at Zhou Lan.
The body was in Li Yumei's house, she said, it was a kind of evil art. The living body will be changed tomorrow morning, but at that time, Li Yumei must be dead.
Tao Jian's mother looked at the others with big eyes and small eyes, looking like they didn't know whether they should believe us or not.
Because Zhou Lan is a person recommended by the gentleman they invited themselves, they still highly recommend it. It is also a fact that Li Yumei was rescued from the coffin.
At this time, I told them that I could let them think about it. If we were really ghosts, how could we have swapped corpses and people in an instant? It's not something that people can do.
In the end, they discussed and said that they didn't dare to say whether they wanted to believe us for the time being, so they took someone to Li Yumei's house to look for it. If we can find the body, we can prove that we are right.
I believed in Zhou Lan, so I agreed. If I do it, I'm willing to take all the responsibility.
When I said that, they said yes. Tao Jian's mother looked at us here, saying that it was just in case we did something. Tao Jian's uncles had already rushed to Li Yumei's house.
I believe in you, Li Yumei patted Zhou Lan's hand and said.
Thank you, Zhou Lan told her with a smile, but you were rescued, I don't know what will happen next. So, maybe we explain this one, and then more things will pop up that can't be explained.
This is what I admire Zhou Lan more. No matter what the situation, she seems to be able to maintain a kind of composure to think and judge.
When she said this, I also felt that our situation was not good. The most direct example is that Tao Jian has not woken up yet. But to be honest, I suspect there's something wrong with this guy.
Zhou Lan stunned him with a Dao technique, so the kind of aura he showed afterwards should be emitted by himself.
I don't know if Zhou Lan noticed this, because because of this, I always feel bad.
Zhou Lan has been closing her eyes and recuperating, maybe she is thinking of a way, and I, I have been staring at Tao Jian. It's weird, now it looks like this guy couldn't be more normal again, even in a coma.
What's the secret about him? Tao Jian's mother seemed to notice my gaze and said that I understood. The reason why she is so excited is because Tao Jian is a good boy.
Since his father's accident, he has been busy worrying about many things at home. Therefore, when we attack this child, we are tantamount to touching her bottom line. ...
