Chapter Thirty-Seven: Strangers Are Like Jade
"Since then, people have gone missing from the manor. ”
After the disappearance, Xian Yu led people to look for them, and they were bound to find their bodies in a cauldron somewhere in the manor.
Xian Yu tried to invite monks and Taoist priests to come to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits.
As a result, the ghost was not caught, and the Taoist priest and monk all became Xian Niangzi's Chinese food.
For a time, the manor became a ghost garden in the mouths of the people of the nearby villages.
From the servants to Xian Yu's uncles and elders in the garden, all of them were terrified.
Everyone is afraid that the next person to be eaten will be themselves.
"Actually, I invite you to the garden today, firstly, to celebrate my entry into the eighth grade, and secondly, I am going to sell this manor and lead the clansmen out of this place of right and wrong, and go to Huiji County to settle down, and study by the way. ”
Xian Yu chuckled.
"I was going to sell it for a good price, but now it seems that I can't hide it. ”
"I see. The scholars were stunned.
When a gust of wind blew and it was suddenly a little cold in the daytime, they craned their necks and looked around.
I'm afraid that the Xian family lady will come out.
"Brother Xie. Xian Yu asked Xie Chang'an, "What questions do you have now?"
Xie Changan glanced at Gu Bai.
He couldn't think of anything he wanted to ask, but he didn't know why, but he still felt that this matter was evil.
Of course, this is a very evil thing.
Gu Bai pondered for a moment and asked Xian Yu, "There are two missing children in the village, and they are also in that pot?"
Xian Yu shook his head, "I don't know. ”
Naturally, he wouldn't have counted the bones.
"Are there any children missing in the manor?" Gu Bai asked again.
Xian Yu turned his head, asked the servant next to him, and nodded, "There is one." ”
Gu Bai nodded.
He asked, "I'm curious, why didn't you report to the police after all this happened? ”
Whether it is to arrest the stable woman or report the haunting of the manor to the Demon Division, you can get help from the government.
"That Wen Po has fled, and I have no evidence to prove her guilt. ”
As for reporting to the Demon Division.
He has already entered the eighth grade, and the seventh grade is just around the corner, and the small city of Yuhang can't accommodate him.
So he hid the news of the haunting and prepared to sell the manor and leave directly when the time came.
Naturally, he wouldn't report it to the Demon Suppression Division.
Gu Bai also asked, Xian Yu was unhappy in his heart, "You are a scholar, you have neither an official position, nor a fast catcher, why should you ask me?"
"It's just curious. ”
Gu Bai smiled and stopped asking.
Wang Shouyi, as a person who catches fast and is the same as the demon division of the town, naturally they can't help but ask when they encounter this matter.
They asked Wen Po where she lived, and asked Xian Yu some questions, and that's it.
At this time, the sun is setting in the west, night is approaching, and the banquet...
"Come, let's continue to drink, and we won't get drunk. Xian Yu invited everyone.
"What, I suddenly remembered that my lady was waiting for me, and if I didn't go back, she was going to steal people. ”
A young man stood up, bowed his hand to Xian Yu, and left without looking back.
said that he was like a lady.
Then, another boy stood up, "What, his wife, maybe, that, you know." ”
He also hurried away.
Another son stood up, "He's gone to find another lady, then his lady... Ha, you get the idea. ”
Soon, the scholars left the table one after another, and after saying "you know", they left with their hands.
Gu Bai was stunned on the side.
He asked Xie Changan next to him, "You don't know how to lie if you are a scumbag?"
"Nonsense, I'm terrible when I lie. ”
Xie Changan was not convinced, and bowed his hand to Xian Yu: "Their lady is waiting for me at home, and I won't be here to watch your jokes." ”
Li Fuyou hurriedly followed: "The two of us are in a group." ”
They turned and led the crowd out.
"Hey, Brother Xie, aren't you leading people to arrest the murderer?" Xian Yu shouted from behind.
Xie Changan ignored him and didn't look back.
Out of the manor, with Li Fuyou by his side, Xie Changan was not good at mentioning Guapo.
It happened to be late, so everyone rode back home in an ox cart.
When passing by the village store, Gu Bai also asked Gouzi to buy a jar of wine and cut a few catties of beef.
With the slanting sun outside the car, the farmland, sitting leisurely, a sip of wine, a sip of meat, is particularly comfortable.
Xie Changan was envious.
He couldn't help but grab a sip from the wine jar, pinch a piece of beef with his hand and eat it.
Then, Li Fuyou also stretched out his evil hand.
"Hey, this beef is really chewy. Li Fu lobbied.
He admired Gu Bai very much, "Such an unpalatable old beef, you actually eat it with relish." ”
Gu Bai took a sip of wine, "Drinking, chewing meat, flowers bloom on Mo, gentlemen are like jade, chew these with the wind, won't it taste good?"
Xie Changan nodded.
"In Li, walking slowly on the road, nibbling something in your mouth, couldn't be happier. ”
Hook: "Listen, that's the difference between reading and not reading." ”
"I'm a student, right? Xie Changan corrected him.
"Oh, that's the difference between copying a book with your brain and reading a book with your ass. "The hook is corrected.
"Hey. Xie Changan looked at the hook, "You little slave, you are too good at belittling people, no wonder you are ugly." ”
"Ugly can't stand it, someone wants to bring the hook back to warm the bed. ”
Gu Bai defends his own little slaves.
"Who?"
Li Fuyou asked, chewing on meat.
"Our son. Wang Shouyi said proudly.
"Uh..."
Surprised, Li Fuyou tore off the unchewable beef at once, "Old Xie, when did you have such a unique taste?"
Xie Changan glared at Wang Shouyi, and said angrily: "I'm blind." ”
Li Fuyou looked at the hook, "Even if you are really blind, you won't be able to take a look at the hook, right?"
Obviously, the news that Xie Changan is blind is not known to outsiders.
Also, after all, the county order has to be faced.
Xie Changan also wanted to have a face, so he skipped this stubble and asked Gu Bai, "Old Gu, what you said Xian Yu just said, is it true?"
"Barely reasonable, it sounds true, but when you look into it, there are still many mysteries and untenable places. ”
Wang Shouyi pulled Li Fuyou behind, "Old Gu, you can talk about it in detail." ”
Gu Bai chewed on the beef, "Wen Po has a problem." ”
What kind of grudge does Wen Po have with Xian Yu or his wife, and she actually kills Xian Yu's mother, and it is a corpse with two lives.
That Xian Yu is also strange, he didn't report to the official, although he has his own reasons, but that reason is too untenable.
In addition, Xian Yu would rather sell the manor than report to the government to ask the government to capture the demon, which is also very strange.
"Yes. Wang Shouyi nodded.
Fortunately, Xian Yu said the address of Wen Po, and Xian Yu's lady also has traces to follow, and they can check it.
"There's also something weird. ”
Li Fuyou chewed on the beef, "It's only been a month since Lao Xian's wife died, right? I don't remember him being sad." ”
However, after he stepped into the eighth grade, the happy look that he couldn't wait for everyone to know made Li Fuyou remember it vividly.
"Therefore, the strangest thing is not others, it is Xian Yu. Xie Changan also joined in.
"It's the same countdown, I don't know his catties and two? In the month I was away, he actually crossed two pins in a row, there must be a problem. ”
He pondered for a moment and then came to a conclusion, "There must be some crooked path." ”
He suspected that Xian Yu's mother and the child in her belly were killed by Xian Yu.
