Chapter 15 The Way Home, the Peach Blossom Tribulation
The next day, the sky gradually dawned, the pale blue sky was inlaid with a few remnant stars, and a few people on the street hurriedly walked forward carrying a few corpses on their shoulders, and suddenly stopped, only to see the door of the mansion closed, and one of the big men holding a drum in his hand kept beating and knocking.
The officer on duty was awakened, and when he opened the door, he saw several people carrying corpses and said in horror: "Brother Officer, several more people have died, you have to be the master for us." ”
The messenger motioned for them to put down the corpses and said solemnly, "We must give an explanation to the people, everyone should go back first." ”
After speaking, several people looked at each other, sighed, and left one after another.
The officials on the government inspected several corpses sent by the people, only to see that several corpses were covered with white cloths, emitting a stench of decay.
"In the past few days, a lot of people have died one after another. A rugged-looking, burly servant looked at the corpse on the ground and said.
"Yes, and the dead are all men, and the death is extremely horrible, as if someone has sucked the blood dry. The answer was Xu Zhutou from Lin'an Town, I saw that he was disheveled, and he rushed over before he was dressed, his face was ugly, and his eyes showed a little solemn look.
"Alas, I heard that the prefect who took office lost his life in order to find out about this matter, this thing is really evil!"
"Yes, no, the top sent an official again, but I didn't expect to disappear before I arrived in Lin'an Town, you said that this thing wouldn't be done by ghosts!"
"How is it possible, there can't be ghosts in this world, cranky. Xu Zhutou shook his head and spoke.
..................
Zhubai woke up early in the morning, remembering that he felt bored the night before, picked up the xylophone and played, his mind was full of Taoyao's panicked expression and the figure of running away.
The sunlight penetrated the hollow wooden window, the broken shadow was mottled on her fair face, Tao Yao opened her eyes in a daze, and vaguely heard the sound of the piano, not as ethereal as before, mixed with a little sadness, she got up and walked step by step, pushed the door open and saw this scene.
Pieces of pale green bamboo leaves were blown down by the wind, a few leaves fell next to the xylophone, a cloth can not hide his fairy-like face, the sorrow between his eyebrows is distressing, the clear eyes are staring at the xylophone, the slender hand keeps twisting the strings, and the sound of the piano gives people a feeling of silence.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, he looked up at her and stopped, and said a good morning lightly, and the warm voice came to Hua Ling's ears very well.
Thinking of the incident the night before, Tao Yao didn't dare to look him in the eyes, looked at Tuanzi lying on the xylophone and napping, and said, "I didn't expect to get up so early." ”
Zhubai put the piano away and said, "It's not early, it's time now." ”
Chenshi, why did she get up so late, she was a little embarrassed, she was originally here to help him fulfill his wish, but she was confused, Tao Yao said: "Zhubai, do you have any wishes." ”
He was stunned, remembering the episode of repaying the favor in the book, how could it be, he must have thought too much, he looked at Tao Yao and jokingly said: "I have no worries about food and clothing in the next place, only the beautiful woman is by the side." ”
The warm voice came to her ears, and her face was dyed with a layer of rouge, as gorgeous as a burning peach blossom, and she felt that her face was a little hot, and she didn't know what was wrong with her.
"Big Brother Bai, it's not good. "A girl boy barged in.
She raised her head and wiped her sweat, her dirty face revealing a piece of fair skin, and her big eyes looked particularly watery under her slotted hair.
"Something's wrong, town... A lot of people died in the town. ”
Then the little girl cried, and said in a hoarse voice: "The kind uncle who set up the stall was also killed, and no one will send hot buns to Xiaoyu for free in the future." ”
Bai Zhu watched the little girl cry, feeling a little puzzled in his heart, a few days ago he saw Uncle Li carrying a burden and selling on the street, impossible, impossible, how could Uncle Li be so good that he would be harmed, he said: "Xiaoyu, what the hell is going on." ”
"I... I....... Before he could finish speaking, the little girl threw herself into his arms and cried and said, "Uncle, you were killed by a monster." ”
The monster that the little girl said reminded Hua Ling of the last time she saw Jinse, it couldn't be her who did it!
Do you want to tell him that Jin Se is a demon? If this matter really has something to do with her, then he is not in danger, but how can I tell him?
Tao Yao was worried, looking at his frowning brows, what should she do?
Zhubai felt sad, he pushed the little girl away and said, "Xiaoyu, don't cry, I'll go and see, I will never let Uncle Li die in vain, and I will definitely catch the murderer." ”
After speaking, Zhubai looked at her and said, "I want to go to the town in the next place, if the girl doesn't want to stay here, you can go with you." ”
The little girl looked at Tao Yao and was stunned, such a beautiful young lady, she showed her head and asked curiously: "Brother Bai, is this young lady your fiancée." ”
The three words of fiancée, her face was pale with fright, spirits and demons cannot marry men in the world, and they will be expelled from the cold land at worst, and they will be abolished for thousands of years.
Seeing her pale face, her eyes became deeper and deeper, and he said lightly: "Xiaoyu, you can't talk nonsense, the young lady is not my fiancée." ”
Zhu Bai said a little indifferently: "I apologized to the girl, I just offended the girl, I hope the girl doesn't bother with her." ”
He apologized to himself again, why his tone was so cold, why he felt so uncomfortable.
Momotou looked at his indifferent expression and hurriedly spoke, "I... I've never been angry. ”
I heard him say, "That's fine." ”
Looking at the figure of him leaving, that sentence was good, which made Tao Yao feel a little painful, whether he said something wrong
With a bang, she came back to her senses, only to see the ball fall to the ground, rubbing its head, opening its eyes and looking around.
Tao Yao picked up the ball on the ground and kept running, just wanting to be closer to him.
As soon as I stepped into the town, the streets were a little deserted, the shops on both sides of the street were closed, and the wind blew the old fallen leaves floating on the streets, with a bit of gloom.
Bai Zhu saw this scene, the town used to be quiet and lively, but now it has become like this, is this still the Lin'an Town he knows?
The little girl in her arms looked a little sad when she saw the scene in front of her, and she said: "The people are too scared to come out now, Brother Bai, let's go to the Yamen, the uncle's body is parked there." ”
