Chapter 20: Frequent Disappearances
There was another thunderclap, and a drizzling rain fell from the sky.
The wild man was wet with rain, and the weeds on his body could no longer play a role in sheltering his body, revealing a thin, sallow arm.
It's really personal.
Xia Yunting narrowed his eyes and looked carefully.
Previously received information that there were often wild people here, and it seemed to be related to the case.
As soon as the savage turned around, he revealed an extremely thin face, his cheeks sunken, his eyes bulging, which looked very terrifying, his nose and mouth were small, so thin that he could barely see it, and his two lips turned into a line, which was tightly pursed.
When it saw Xia Yunting, its big eyes burst out with excitement, and it screamed strangely, and jumped over with a jump.
Xia Yunting dodged to the side, but when he lowered his head, he disappeared from the wild man, but instead carried an extra weight on his back.
A pair of skinny arms wrapped around Xia Yunting's neck, and Xia Yunting felt a chill on the back of his neck, and something was rubbing around.
The wild man was intoxicated against Xia Yunting, and his mouth couldn't stop making strange sounds, as if his throat had been cut by a knife.
"Woooooooooo......oo Ulawawa Wow......"
The wet and slippery cold feeling made Xia Yunting feel extremely disgusting.
"Go down!"
His expression froze, and he raised his hand and grabbed the wild man's arm and threw it out.
"Ah......hh I'm afraid ......"
The wild man fell to the ground and rolled in the mud.
The rain fell more and more rapidly, and the hair of the wild man was beaten into locks.
It trembled and looked up at Xia Yunting, with a look of fear in its eyes.
Xia Yunting frowned, and after a while, he asked tentatively.
"You...... Can you speak? ”
The wild man tilted his head, and when he saw that Xia Yunting didn't make a move, he opened his mouth wide and let out a strange tone.
"Woooooooooo......oo Wow wow......"
It was as if the mute had just learned to speak and could not find a tone.
Could it be that its throat is bad?
I don't know if that girl can be healed.
As soon as he had the idea of bringing the wild man back, the other party seemed to have noticed it, and with a strange scream, he climbed to the top of the tree in three or two.
The flexible movements and swift body movements were even faster than monkeys, but Xia Yunting didn't catch up.
He looked at the top of the tree in some surprise.
The savage grabbed two leaves and blocked them in front of him, thinking that he would not be discovered, but he stared at Xia Yunting with two big round eyes, and there was a light in his eyes that could not be concealed.
"Guanguan...... In the river, the state, the lady, the gentleman ......"
Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, fair lady, gentleman.
Although the wild man only uttered a few broken syllables, Xia Yunting's mind automatically filled in the rest.
"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman ......"
He read it again, and it was a poem about love.
Suddenly, the wild man's figure flashed, and he was gone.
Haunted house.
"You mean, I just need to collect medicine and sell it to Jishitang?"
Rong Zhi clasped her fingers on the tabletop, thoughtful.
Ji Shitang was the pharmacy where she took Xia Yunting to grab medicine for the first time, and it was also the guy named Anping who told her that Chu Tian was a disciple of the Medicine King Valley.
Could it be that there is something between them?
She was thinking about it, but Chu Tian misunderstood.
"What? Don't want to do it? Do you still want to go to the doctor? ”
He clutched his chest and had a "you don't want to get an inch" expression.
"Let me tell you, the people of Changping County only recognize me as a doctor, they will not easily trust others, and only Zhang Yajing, a fool, will be deceived by you so easily! The business is like this, you can help me by providing medicinal materials to Jishitang, I can help you negotiate a good price, as for the rest, don't talk about it! ”
"Okay, that's it."
She's not here to make money anyway.
The words fell, and Rong Zhi suddenly changed the topic.
"What are you doing so far away from me?"
Her gaze fell on Chu Tianze's hand, which was clenched into a fist.
He seems to ...... Very nervous.
Chu Tian's face stiffened, and his mouth was stiff.
"I can't beat you."
"That's not right......"
Rong Zhi held her chin and seemed to recall something.
"The last time you saw me, you scared away."
"I, Chu, have never been close to women."
As he spoke, he moved himself back again, though there was no room behind him.
"I've heard of women who aren't close to women, but I'm scared when I see a woman like you, it's the first time I've seen it, you're sick, you have to be cured!"
Rong Zhi said and began to approach Chu Tianze.
"What are you doing? Don't come here! ”
Chu Tian clutched his chest and retreated, but this room was so big that he was quickly forced into a corner.
Rong Zhi grabbed his pulse.
"For the sake of acquaintance, I can help you treat it for free, you're welcome."
"No, no, no...... I don't need you to be nosy! ”
Chu Tian shook it off, and his face began to turn pale.
"You...... Get away from me! ”
Rong Zhi didn't move, it didn't look like pretending.
There was no such illness in my memory, but I suddenly found out, which really made Rong Zhi a little interested.
"Why are you so nervous, I'm here to help you."
Chu Tian glared at her.
"If you touch me again, I'll bite my tongue and kill myself!"
Chu Tian looked like he was at home, and he caught a glimpse of the approaching figure outside the door, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he raised his voice.
"Girl, how can you do this? You are a married woman, are you worthy of your husband like this? ”
Rong Zhi was stunned, why did she suddenly start acting?
She realized something, turned her head, and saw Xia Yunting pushing the door in, bringing a clammy and cold wind.
He was already soaking wet, his face was calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Hey! You came back just in time, look at your daughter-in-law, don't keep the way of women...... Hey, what are you doing? ”
Halfway through his words, Chu Tian suddenly rose into the air and flew out in a graceful arc.
"Bang!"
Xia Yunting closed the door suddenly.
There was a burst of angry scolding outside.
"It's not a good thing for both of them, the whole one is male and female! Oops, it hurts me......"
The sound of pain faded away.
The corners of Rong Zhi's mouth twitched, looked at the man in front of him who was taking off his wet clothes, and asked, "Have you caught up, are you an assassin?" ”
Xia Yunting didn't speak, and after quickly taking off his wet clothes, he went into the kitchen.
Rong Zhi looked at the closed door, inexplicable.
Could it be that he was really angry?
No way? They are not really husband and wife, and this should be a tacit thing.
Actually, Rong Zhi really misunderstood.
Xia Yunting just remembered that case.
Two years ago, he sent a secret report in the eyes of the imperial court, saying that there were many cases of human trafficking in Changping County, and after investigation, it was found that he was the mastermind behind the scenes!
Xia Yunting asked himself that he had never done anything hurtful, not to mention that before that, he had never heard of the name Changping County.
In order to find out the truth, he sent several people here to find out the news, but they all ...... in the end Died here.
This courtyard is the temporary shelter of his subordinates when they come here to investigate, and there must be other evidence in it, and he can't leave until the investigation is clear.
As for that little girl, since she said that she would help herself, it shouldn't matter to her whether she can go back to the imperial city now, right?
Xia Yunting soaked himself in the bathtub and thought like this.
There was suddenly an unhappy figure in front of him.
"Hey, I'm just treating him, you're not really angry, are you?"
Rong Zhi waved her hand at Xia Yunting, recalling Xia Yunting's thoughts.
Rong Zhi looked helpless, as if she was thinking about how to explain.
Seeing that she had misunderstood, Xia Yunting suddenly felt funny, and he didn't break it, but turned his head to the other side according to her meaning, pretending to be angry.
Rong Zhi: "......"
I'm really angry!
Is he addicted to playing? Could it be that you still plan to let yourself coax him?
There are no doors!
She cleared her throat and began to talk nonsense: "Xia Yunting, you once said that even if I find someone else in the future, you won't be angry." ”
This time it was Xia Yunting's turn to be stunned, was she relying on her "amnesia", did she just make it up?
"I have amnesia, I don't remember saying that."
“……”
"I'm out in the rain, and you're pulling and pulling with other men."
Well, he was still panting when he was fat.
The final result was, of course, Rong Zhi coaxing him...... What a fart!
Rong Zhi suddenly realized that Xia Yunting was playing tricks on her!
She had to explain when she was kicked in the head by a donkey.
At night, lightning and thunder roared, so noisy that Rong Zhi couldn't sleep.
Xia Yunting was still recalling what the wild man said.
"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the River Island, My Fair Lady, Good Gentleman."
It was obviously a wild man, but it was able to recite these two lines of poetry, which shows that it was once a normal person, and it was very likely that it had read books.
This village is not peaceful, and there are often traffickers, could it be that it was trafficked?
He was so engrossed in his mind that he read it out unconsciously.
Suddenly, a faint voice sounded in the night.
"Xia Yunting."
"Huh?"
"Do you have a crush on that monkey?"
“……”
The rain continued overnight until the next morning.
In the morning, Rong Zhi and Xia Yunting talked about cooperating with Chu Tianze.
Xia Yunting doesn't have any opinions, after all, he is now "amnesia", so naturally Rong Zhi can say whatever he wants, as long as he can stay here to investigate the case.
The sun was shining outside, and Rong Zhi was originally going to go up the mountain to collect medicine today, but suddenly heard a quick knock on the door.
"What about the people inside? Come out! ”
is a middle-aged male voice with vicissitudes of life, and his voice is very impatient.
Rong Zhi opened the door, and outside was a group of people dressed as villagers, both men and women.
The strange thing is that their faces are all very weird, more or less distorted, although not as exaggerated as Yu Cheng, but also very terrifying, like dried old bark.
Rong Zhi was shocked, could it be that they were all poisoned?
At this time, a middle-aged man at the front spoke.
"Where did you come from? Why do you live here? ”
Although his voice was a little loud, Rong Zhi could see that he had no malicious intent, looking at this posture, the one who spoke should be the village chief.
"Hello uncle, we are from out of town, and we have settled here temporarily."
Rong Zhi said very sincerely.
"From out of town?"
Yu Rong's face showed a little suspicion.
"Our village is not peaceful, people will go missing every three or five days, you are here, but it is very dangerous."
"Thank you for the reminder, but we're only staying temporarily, so we'll be fine."
Yu Rong saw that Rong Zhi said this, and it was difficult to say anything, although he still wanted to remind them that this house was often haunted, but seeing this girl like this, it shouldn't be like being afraid.
"Since you plan to live here, you have to go and register, and if there is an accident at that time, it has nothing to do with the people in the village."
It turned out that they were just asked to register.
It's not a big deal.
"Let's go, then."
When the two of them were talking, the people around them were also curiously looking inside.
"This is a haunted house, I think it's pretty good, if only my family had such a big house."
"I'm afraid that you have a life to go in and not to go out!"
"Oh, look, what a handsome young man!"
An exclamation caught everyone's attention, and everyone's eyes fell on the kitchen door.
Xia Yunting wore an apron around his waist and gave Rong Zhi an inquiring look.
This is...... What's wrong?
