Chapter 214: Enchantress
Gu Fengmian was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was calling himself, and couldn't help glaring at Situ Jingheng, but he still obediently poured the tea and handed it over. Situ Jingheng handed the water to Shu Weiliang and fed it to his lips himself.
In the ups and downs of her chest, Situ Jingheng clearly saw her exposed collarbone, and was shocked to realize that she had lost some weight again, and there was a pain in her heart.
Shu Weiliang drank the water, only to feel dizzy. Although I'm used to it these days, I can't help but frown.
"Uncomfortable?" Situ Jingheng asked.
Shu Weiliang nodded slightly.
"He'll leave you with an antidote, you're getting more and more poisoned." Situ Jingheng said.
Shu Wei said coldly: "I don't need to eat yet."
"We'll leave tomorrow to find Xi Zhijun, so we don't need to save this antidote so much. Eat when it's time to eat." Situ Jingheng sighed when he said this, "It's strange, I asked so many doctors, but they couldn't match him with such an antidote. There is always one or two flavors of medicine, what do you say this Xi Zhijun uses as a medicine?"
Shu Weiliang shook his head and said, "Although I have learned so much from him, I can't figure it out."
Gu Fengmian took the cup handed over by Shu Weiliang, and replied casually: "When you see him, just ask?"
Situ Jingheng was about to speak again, but suddenly heard a commotion outside, followed by a large number of footsteps. He raised his eyebrows vigilantly and said to Gu Fengmian, "Go outside and see what's going on."
Gu Fengmian walked out quickly, and came back after a while. Said: "What do you say about burning the demon girl, many people go to see the fun."
"Enchantress?"
"That's right."
Situ Jingheng pondered for a moment and said, "We don't care about these idle things."
But Shu Weiliang asked, "What kind of demon girl?"
Gu Fengmian replied, "I didn't see it, it's on the west side of the city. All rushed to see the excitement."
"Burning a girl tonight?" Shu Weiliang frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Jing Heng, let's go and have a look."
Situ Jingheng said: "You are still sick, it's windy outside, don't go."
"I'm not going to you to go, it's too unkind to burn one alive. Besides, you're still a girl, so you're going to see what's going on?" Shu Weiliang persuaded.
"Then you can go and have a look, I'll look at my sister." Gu Fengmian said.
Situ Jingheng glanced at Shu Weiliang, took off the sword on the wall, and said, "Then I'll go back when I go."
"If you really want to burn her, you can help save her." Shu Wei said coolly, and then shrunk her body back to the bed, and said softly, "We ......"
"I'll take a look." Situ Jingheng nodded, and opened the door and walked out without waiting for Shu Weiliang to finish speaking.
There were indeed many people on the road who hurriedly walked towards West Street, and Situ Jingheng stepped down from the upper floor and followed everyone forward.
The place of execution was not far away, Situ Jingheng was squeezed forward by the crowd, and only saw a large square with a young girl tied to it, with her head lowered, and her face covered by her thick hair, so she couldn't see her face clearly.
Her body was already full of firewood and flammable materials, and the ground was drenched with fire oil.
"Daughter...... Daughter ......" The crowd that had been discussing softly was suddenly broken by a terrible voice. Situ Jingheng turned his head, only to see a pair of middle-aged men and women rushing up from behind, crying and squeezing into the crowd.
Everyone gave them a way, and the couple cried and cried to go to the execution table, but was stopped. I could only sit on the ground and cry and say, "Don't burn my daughter, she is innocent, don't burn her."
The girl, who was originally tied to the torture table without moving, slowly raised her head. Situ Jingheng only glanced at it, and then raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.
"Don't burn her, she's innocent." The parents who sat on the ground had already begun to kowtow indiscriminately.
Situ Jingheng asked the people around him softly: "What happened to this girl?" Why burn her?"
"Childe is a foreigner, right? This woman's name is Bai Lian, she is not from our place, she only came here a few years ago. She was originally singing in the inn, singing a few little songs. Later, I don't know why, that inn is our Zhongyuan Inn here. Since this woman sings in this inn, one person will die every full moon night in Xinghua County......"
Situ Jingheng wondered: "Every full moon night?"
"Yes, in the middle of the month, one person dies. And that way to die, ouch ......" Speaking of this, the middle-aged man next to him even showed a frightened expression on his face, and further explained, "The blood quilt in the whole body is gone, so it's ...... like that."
Situ Jingheng raised his hand and touched his eyebrows, and then asked, "So, you think that this woman did it?"
"There is no evidence, and we can't talk nonsense, just have suspicions. But last month, someone saw her appear at the scene of the crime with blood all over her body. Isn't this a catch?"
Situ Jingheng listened, pondered for a while, and his eyes fell on the girl who was tied to the torture table again. This girl looked seventeen or eighteen years old, and her face was blocked by most of the black hair, and she couldn't see it very clearly. Situ Jingheng crossed his hands around his chest and asked casually, "Did you see that?"
"What?" The middle-aged uncle didn't react.
"I mean, did you see her at the scene of the crime?" Situ Jinghengdao.
The middle-aged uncle shook his head and said, "It's not me, but several people have seen it. The county lord also checked it and determined that this woman was a demon. [,! Strange, specialized in sucking human blood."
Seeing the horror and mystery on the middle-aged uncle's face, Situ Jingheng couldn't help but shake his head gently. Seeing that the fire on the torture table was on fire, he pointed his toes on the ground and flew up quickly. With a beautiful sword flower, the rope that the girl tied to her hand was cut off, and the whole person slipped down like a boneless.
Situ Jingheng quickly caught her, and then landed on the torture table. Reaching out and gently closing her jaw, the dislocated jaw was knotted.
The girl wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and said weakly, "Thank you, Engong."
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman was tied to the stake on charges of being a demon girl, and her chin was dropped and she couldn't speak, which really caused a strange thing. Situ Jingheng took advantage of the fact that everyone hadn't reacted yet, and said softly: "I'll take you away first, and they won't believe anything if you explain it now."
The girl nodded obediently and looked at Situ Jingheng.
Situ Jingheng grabbed her waist, jumped over, and disappeared in front of everyone. It is difficult for ordinary people to see such a supernatural light skill, and they are dumbfounded for a while. When he reacted in the middle of the morning and shouted to arrest someone, where could he still see the shadow of Situ Jingheng and the girl?
Situ Jingheng quickly returned to the inn, walked into Su Weiliang's room, and quickly closed the door again.
Shu Weiliang sat up from the bed wrapped in the quilt and asked, "Rescued?"
"White Lotus, thank you hero for saving your life, thank you......" was already waiting to be burned to death, but at the last moment, a miracle appeared, and the girl was grateful, and tears flowed down her face.
Situ Jingheng said expressionlessly: "Don't thank me, I don't want to save you. It was my wife who heard that a girl was going to be burned and begged me to go. If you want to thank her, thank her."
Bai Lian then changed the direction of the kowtow and solemnly kowtowed to Su Weiliang. Bai Lian, thank Madame for saving her life."
Shu Weiliang said softly: "It's okay......"
"Why did they burn you?" Before Su Wei finished speaking, Gu Fengmian couldn't help but ask curiously.
Bai Lian bit her lip and said, "They...... I thought I was a witch, so ...... You're going to burn me."
Gu Fengmian then asked, "Then why do they think you are a demon girl?"
Bai Lian lowered her head and said softly, "Say that I suck human blood......"
When Gu Fengmian heard that he was sucking human blood, he couldn't help but take a step back. The child's mind is simple, and at this time there is already confusion in his eyes, "Sister, she sucks human blood......"
Su Wei Liang sneered: "Stupid, have you ever seen someone who sucks human blood?" Not to mention human blood, how can a normal person suck blood? Not even the blood of small animals."
"That's why it's a witch." Gu Fengmian said.
Bai Lian hurriedly spoke: "It's not me, I really didn't suck human blood."
Situ Jingheng only spoke at this time: "But I heard that someone saw you appear at the scene of the crime with your own eyes, covered in blood."
When Bai Lian heard this, her face suddenly turned gray again.
Shu Weiliang still felt that sucking human blood was too weird, so she asked softly, "What's going on?"
Bai Lian has explained this matter to many people, but she has never been trusted. She could already carry this evil on her back, and at this time she only heard her repeat mechanically: "That night, I saw that the moonlight was very good, and I couldn't sleep, so I planned to go out for a walk. When I walked to the corner of West Street, I suddenly saw a man covered in blood. He is not dead, he is crying for help. I walked over, but when I did, he was dead in a few moments. I was scared and realized that this person was the same as in the previous cases, so I decided to leave."
"So when you were leaving, you were seen and mistaken for a murderer?" Gu Fengmian asked.
White Lotus nodded.
Situ Jingheng thought about it, looked at the girl again, and said, "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, you go with us, go to live in other cities, and come back when the limelight passes."
"No, my mom and dad are still here, and if I'm gone, I don't know what people will do to them. I can't go." Bai Lian said busily.
"Since you're still worried about your parents, you should tell us the truth." Situ Jingheng said coldly, "At this time, you still have to deceive people?"
Bai Lian was stunned and said, "I don't understand what Engong means."
"Don't understand?" Situ Jingheng sneered and said, "You are a girl, you can't sleep in the middle of the night, will you run so far?" Normally, you only walk around your own yard, right? And you know that every full moon night there will be murders, and you will go out?" (No pop-ups.)
