The cat demon told Nan Jinyi that the jade butterfly was snatched by Wang Xiaoer from a child, and the child picked it up from the tree pit in front of his house. As for why the jade butterfly appeared in the tree pit, it is related to the child's mother.

The child's mother was a diligent person, and every two or three days she would go to the well to fetch water, and the ones that came out would be used to water the flowers and vegetables. When my mother was fetching water, she accidentally caught the jade butterfly. It was the last bucket of water she had ever fetched that morning, and when she saw that there was a shortage of water in the tree pit at the door, she poured all the buckets into it.

The child was playing at the door, and when he saw something shiny in the pit of the tree, he scooped it up with his hands. A small jade butterfly, the child thinks it looks good, so he takes it to the street to show off with his friends. This show off was seen by Wang Xiaoer who was passing by.

Wang Xiaoer didn't know that there was a ghost hidden in this jade butterfly, he only knew that this was a jade, a thing that could be sold for money. Afraid that the jade butterfly would be lost, Wang Xiaoer found a rope and tied it to himself.

The soul in this jade butterfly has a deep resentment, and it quickly leaks out without the suppression of the cat demon. Wang Xiaoer's death is an accident, but it is not a real accident.

A man and a cat were talking, Qin Ye came, and he was still dressed as a headcatcher. He first inquired about the child's condition, and when he learned that the mother and son were safe, he told Liu Hanshan's husband about Liu Hanshan's arrangements.

Due to the attempted murder, Yurong was sentenced to prison. Liu Hanshan is a reasonable person, Nian became a mother at the beginning of Yurong, authorized her to recuperate in the Hu family, and waited for the child to be 100 days old before she was brought back to the yamen. Considering that the child still needs to be fed, Liu Hanshan also gave two solutions. The first is to ask a nursing mother to take care of the child, and the second is to ask Yurong to take the child back to the prison to raise her, and the county government will detain her alone until the child reaches the age of one.

Yurong's husband thought about it and chose the former, he would rather hire a nurse for the child than the child to grow up in prison with Yurong. As a catcher, Qin Ye respected and approved of Yurong's husband's idea.

The second thing is related to the jade butterfly.

Qin Ye told Nan Jinyi that someone reported that the remains of dozens of young girls were found in Dongze Township, forty miles away from Anping County, and that the time of death of these girls was different, but the cause of death was exactly the same, all of them drowned. What's even more weird is that when these girls died, they were all dressed as brides, and they all had a jade butterfly hanging around their necks, exactly like the one found on Yu Rong's neck.

Liu Hanshan felt that this matter was not simple, and thought that there was some kind of involvement between the jade butterfly and the jade butterfly, and he hoped that Nan Jinyi would hand over the jade butterfly to him, and he would take the jade butterfly to Dongze Township.

The jade butterfly is a relic of Aunt Hu, she has no right to call the shots, and after asking Aunt Hu's son for her opinion, she handed over the jade butterfly to Qin Ye. Seeing Qin Ye leave, the cat demon suddenly jumped on the table: "I thought you were acquaintances with that Liu County Order, but now it seems that you look like enemies." ”

"Nonsense, he and I are just strangers between the county officials and the common people, the patients and the doctors." Nan Jinyi got up, "If you have nothing to do, go to Dongze Township with them." ”

"Something!" The cat demon meowed twice: "Sanniang is dead, and the identity I used to hide myself has also been exposed by you, I have to quickly find a place to settle down." This eighth heavenly thunder, the devil knows when it will come. In case it gets scorched, I don't even have someone who can help me collect the cat's corpse. ”

"How's Bai's Gambling House?" Nan Jinyi asked, and took out a talisman casually: "Make a deal, you go to Dongze Township with them, help me investigate the matter of the jade butterfly, I will send you to the Bai family's gambling house, and let Bai Wei use this lightning talisman to help you block the eighth heavenly thunder, and leave you with one more cat's life until you achieve positive results." ”

"Do you know that white tiger spirit in the south of the city?" The cat demon cocked its tail: "You humans are the best at lying, you promise that you will tell me the truth." ”

"Believe it or not!" Nan Jinyi made a gesture to put away the lightning charm, but the cat demon quickly stretched out his claws and grabbed the lightning charm.

"Dongze Township is my hometown! It's such a good thing to go back to my hometown, how can I not go. The cat demon transformed into a little girl, sitting on the stone table and swinging her feet: "I just don't quite understand, what is your purpose for letting me follow that county magistrate?" Whether to protect him secretly, or to take advantage of his unpreparedness and instigate the unjust soul to kill him. Or are you just interested in what happened in Dongzexiang? Jade butterflies, don't you like these jade butterflies? ”

"How much do you know about Dongze Township?" Nan Jinyi asked, not planning to reply to the questions that the cat demon had just raised.

"Dongze Township!" The cat demon looked up slightly to the east: "It's a magical place." ”

Dongze Township is located in the southeast of the entire Anping County, which belongs to the place where there are mountains in the distance and water in the near distance, and the land is flat and suitable for farming. The people who live in this place cannot be said to be rich, but they are definitely not poor. What is strange is that this Dongze Township is very poor, and it is famous for its poverty.

"Why are you poor?" Nan Jinyi was puzzled: "Mo is not from there-"

"The girl is right, it's the people there." The cat demon snapped his fingers and jumped down from the stone table: "The people of Dongze Township are not only lazy and greedy, but also very superstitious. ”

A cat demon, open his mouth and close his mouth to say that others are superstitious, no matter how you look at this picture, it feels a little weird. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, and Nan Jinyi is not an ordinary person, so he quickly heard the meaning hidden behind those words.

"What are they enshrined?"

"A black river god Niangniang and a monster with a dragon head and a human body, according to them, it is the dragon lord of the river." The cat demon covered his stomach with a smile: "I have lived in Dongze Township for so long, and I have never seen any river god Niangniang, but I have seen a lot of drowned ghosts, and they are all confused." And the Dragon King, no matter what, you can't grow like that, right? Don't talk about immortals, just us demon clans, when learning the art of change, the first thing we learn is to make ourselves handsome and beautiful. Without a good-looking skin, how can you confuse people's hearts? ”

"It turns out that you don't have a good-looking skin, you can also deceive people." Nan Jinyi stretched his arm: "I want you to help me find the demon hidden in Dongze Township." A demon who is good at confusing people's hearts, using its demon heart as medicine, the effect must be very good. ”

"Can't find it." The cat demon shook his head: "Whether it is the river god Niangniang or the Dragon King, they are all hidden in the water." Although I am a cat demon, I am not good at water, how can I help you? ”

"That's fine." Nan Jinyi handed over a bead.

The beads were larger than ordinary pearls, and shone a faint blue in the sunlight. When you get closer, you can smell a smell of sea, which is not unpleasant, but it is not so easy to accept.

The cat demon stared at the bead for a while, and suddenly said, "Isn't this the legendary water-avoiding bead?" I've only heard of this stuff in the mouth of a storyteller. ”
