Gu Bai helped the shopkeeper come out.

The streets are sparsely populated, except for the candle lights hanging from the shops along the street swaying in the wind.

On the river, boats drift with the waves, with only a few fishing lights on.

"Whoever dares to laugh at me, who dares to laugh at me!"

The shopkeeper yelled at the wine, breaking the silence on the street.

"What a noise!"

A beggar nested beside the stone bridge, and was disturbed by the shopkeeper of the year, and replied.

Syllable!

The wine jar of the shopkeeper was finally thrown out, scaring the beggar.

"Drunk, drunk. ”

Gu Bai confessed to the beggar and dragged the shopkeeper away.

The beggar muttered a few dirty words, rolled over, put a broken sack over his body, and went back to sleep.

"The shopkeeper of the year, his mouth grows on other people's faces, and he can't let others not speak. Gu Bai persuaded him.

"Phew, a bunch of tongue-chewing things. ”

The shopkeeper scolded and scolded.

Hook couldn't help but say next to him: "You don't do this authentically, and you don't allow others to say it?"

"You know..."

The shopkeeper turned his head, didn't wait for the scolding, and after seeing the hook with drunken eyes, his body trembled in fright.

"Hell, hell!"

He howled.

"Where the hell are!"

Without waiting for the hook to get angry, the beggar covered with the sack jumped up and looked left and right in a panic.

The hook turned around and waved his hand, "No..."

"Hell!"

When he saw the hook under the lamp, the beggar screamed and "swished" into the wine bar.

"Hell, uncle. "The hook was furious.

It's just that her master changed the law and said that she was ugly, and the drunkard and beggar actually changed their tricks to say that she was ugly.

The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, not to mention her hook.

The hook pointed at the culprit and showed his little tiger teeth, "Beware of me biting you!"

Thump!

Without waiting for the hook to take action, the shopkeeper knelt down towards the hook.

"Don't eat me, don't eat me. ”

The drunken shopkeeper wept bitterly.

"I give you all the money, and spare me, beseech you. ”

"What?"

The hook is inexplicable.

Did the shopkeeper really treat her as a ghost this year?

"Old age. Gu Bai Funian shopkeeper, "You recognize the wrong person, no, you recognize the wrong ghost." ”

The hook rolls its eyes.

The drunken shopkeeper was unmoved, still kneeling on the ground and praying.

"I, I broke my oath, but my son is still young, and raising them to marry is also part of the oath, you can't kill me. ”

"You guys?"

Gu Bai was thoughtful.

This is interesting, it seems that the old lady died for another hidden reason.

He was about to ask the hook to ask, when the beggar, who had just been scared away, poked his head out of the wine bar.

"I said shopkeeper Gu, it's scary for you to put a hook out at night, it's a bit unkind. ”

The beggar waved his hand and continued back to the bridge, covering himself with a sack and sleeping.

That's right, it's not very kind to bring the hook out at night, and let the old shopkeeper cry on the street.

He helped up the shopkeeper, "Old man, don't worry, we won't kill you." ”

He glanced at Hook, who nodded helplessly, "Yes, I'll let you go for now." ”

"Let go, let me go?"

The old shopkeeper stood up happily, "Great." ”

One moment crying, one moment laughing, this year's shopkeeper is now a drunken maniac.

Gu Bai was ready to send him home.

Just after the bookstore, the shopkeeper started to drink again.

He didn't go back to his house, saying that there were ghosts in the house who wanted to kill him.

In order not to go home, he even sat on the ground and used the means of splashing and rolling and grabbing the ground with his head.

At the corner of the street in front of the bookstore, Old Man Chen's stall was still standing, and the roasting pans on it made a sizzling sound.

Roasted pork is the breast meat of pigs, cows, and sheep.

There are a lot of roasted dumplings in Yuhang City, but there are only a handful of them that can be as delicious as Old Man Chen.

It's an ancestral barbecue technique.

Usually, when Gu Bai was tired of copying books, he had to eat a few skewers.

I'm afraid it won't work today.

At this time, several people were sitting in front of Old Man Chen's stall and feasting, and after hearing the movement here, they got up and walked over.

"Yo, Lao Gu, what's going on?"

Wang Shouyi asked while chewing on a roasted dough.

"Drunkard. ”

Gu Bai was helpless.

"Forget it, for your sake, for the sake of taking care of my business during the day, I'll be reluctant to do it. ”

Gu Bai decided to take the shopkeeper to the library to rest.

He asked Hook to go to the shopkeeper's house last year and told his little lady that the shopkeeper was in the bookstore.

Hook reluctantly, "Why let me go, I heard that his house is haunted." ”

The appearance of the shopkeeper also proves that the rumors are true.

"Don't be afraid, it's not certain that any of you will scare whom. Gu Bai told the hook to go with confidence.

Hook thought, "That's right, too." ”

Both of them have one advantage, that is, they are self-aware.

She boldly went to the shopkeeper's house in previous years.

Gu Bai beckoned Wang Shouyi to help the handle, and together with a few errands, he carried the crazy shopkeeper to the library.

threw the shopkeeper on the mat, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Bai poured tea for them, "How is it, has the tomb been found?"

Wang Shouyi shook his head. "Don't mention it, we turned the West Lake Pagoda all around, not to mention the missing people, and the cemetery has not been found. ”

Gu Bai was surprised, "Nothing at all?"

"Not really. ”

Wang Shouyi took out some pieces of cloth from his arms, "There are some of these things scattered." ”

Gu Bai took a look.

The cloth is a coarse cloth of linen clothes, clothes often worn by ordinary people, and it is not famous.

It's the shape of this piece of cloth...

"These cloths were torn to shreds, and judging by the broken shape, they must have been torn apart by sharp claws. ”

Gu Bai raised his eyes to look at Wang Shouyi, "The place where these pieces of cloth are located, and I haven't found a tomb." ”

Wang Shouyi shook his head.

They were about to dig out the water, but they still didn't see the tomb.

"In my opinion, it was the snake demon and Fahai who joined forces and ate those people. ”

In terms of stubbornness, Wang Shouyi has always been very stubborn.

Gu Bai shook his head, "What Fahai said makes sense now." ”

Wang Shouyi was confused, "What makes sense?"

When Fahai kidnapped Xie Chang'an, he once shouted, "The tomb can't be found, and I can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River."

"So, it's no wonder you can't find the tomb, and neither can Fahai himself. Gu Bai returned the cloth to Wang Shouyi.

"What about the tomb?"

"I flew on my own feet. Gu Bai's words were chiseled.

Wang Shouyi had an expression of "you tease me".

This is the only explanation. ”

Gu Bai couldn't find any other reasonable explanation.

"When you say that, I still think it's more reliable for the snake demon and Fahai to be in cahoots. Wang Shouyi returned to square one.

"What do you explain by these rags?"

Gu Bai didn't think that the snake demon would tear their clothes before eating people.

It doesn't have the ability to do that either.

Wang Shouyi really couldn't find any other explanation, but his guess was more reliable than the cemetery disappeared.

"Actually, there is another way to know the murderer. ”

"What way?" Wang Shouyi looked at Gu Bai.

He hasn't solved the case for a long time, and the county magistrate has the intention of finding someone to replace him.

Although Wang Shouyi doesn't think that there are anyone smarter than him in the catch, it is better not to change it.

As a result, he is very attentive to recent cases.
