20. No Return (First Shift)

The next day, morning.

Heaven and earth seem to be wet.

The quilt was also a little wet, and there was a fishy smell wafting from the sheets.

The little sparrow was used to serving the eldest lady, but now she gets up early in the morning, and is busy diligently, serving tea and pouring water, and combing Bai Yan's hair, it seems... She wants to use the set of "serving the young lady" to "serve the father-in-law".

In the past, Miss was her closest person, but now she has a husband.

Bai Yan originally shirked and asked her not to do this.

However, the original spirit bird suddenly got angry, "Don't you treat me as your lady?" ”

Bai Yan could only let her.

Sure enough, with the little sparrow's makeup, Bai Yan's whole person was also much more energetic and tidy.

He grabbed the knife hanging on the wall and decided to continue his practice.

The stronger the strength, the more you may be able to control yourself when the demon blood gets out of control.

The little sparrow looked at him with its mouth wide open, secretly shocked in his heart: Yan Yan is so powerful...

This morning, her legs were sore when she stood and walked, but Yan Yan was fine.

"Xianggong, do you have any spare energy?" She asked angrily.

Bai Yan asked softly, "Do you go all out, will you be happier?" ”

The little sparrow's face flushed with shame, and the charm of a little woman was suddenly revealed.

But immediately, she took a deep breath and said spicily: "Come on, come, who's afraid of whom?!" ”

Bai Yan didn't fight with her at all, and said directly: "I'm afraid of you." ”

The little sparrow was triumphant and said sweetly: "Let's practice your knife!" I... I'm not going to practice today. Don't get me wrong, I'm not lazy, I... I'm just a little bit tired. ”

Bai Yan smiled: "Well, it's so resting, lady." ”

A lady made the little sparrow sweet to her heart, and she went to do things happily.

Bai Yan held the knife and walked towards Guiyun Lake.

The martial arts hall was not rented, and the plan to open the martial arts hall was naturally put on hold for the time being, but... He didn't mind.

After a while, he came to the lake.

Draw a knife, swing a knife, chop a knife...

In the slow movement, there is a power that gradually mysteries.

A cold wind swept across the lake and came to the shore, blowing his hair.

Bai Yan frowned suddenly.

Why is today's wind so cold and biting?

...

...

The tragic clouds of sorrow hovered above the Tang Mansion.

In an attic, Tang Huang was pushing a wheelchair and looking at the lake, while Zhu Bafan and Tang Xianzhi were beside him.

Tang Huang glanced at Bai Yan, who was wielding a knife in the distance, and said with a smile: "This kid is really diligent, he just got married yesterday, and he came to practice martial arts today, no wonder he can cultivate the Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers to the tenth layer." ”

"The tenth floor?"

Zhu Bahan was shocked.

The tenth layer of "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers", isn't this a grandmaster?

He immediately clenched his fists and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the head of the family, there is a successor to the master of this family." ”

Tang Huang was also very satisfied, this was the only thing that could make him a little happier from last night to today.

Last night...

The six gates in the city were almost fully dispatched, and hundreds of people rode big horses to patrol around Guiyun Lake in the autumn rain, and he, the Tang family, was naturally involved.

Why Patrol?

Because... Last night, there were cries for help from the shore of Guiyun Lake from time to time, which were very poignant and extremely numerous.

What's more, these cries for help are from men and women, old to young.

Although there are casualties in Jianshan City on weekdays, this kind of large-scale call for help has never been there.

This directly alarmed six doors.

The six gates on duty immediately went to inspect, but found nothing, so they hurriedly reported to the big catcher.

After the big catcher inspected the scene, he led the six doors of the entire Jianshan City to go out, and mobilized all the rich and noble families around Guiyun Lake, and asked them to send their families to assist in the operation.

But after a night of tossing, only one man in black was caught.

The man in black was brought back by the six doors and tortured...

At that time, Zhu Bafan was also present.

"The man in black... It looks like there is nothing to fear. "Zhu Bafan is an old man, and he can see something strange at a glance," When he was arrested, he didn't resist at all.

Still clutching an empty sack in his hand... Looks like pretending to be human.

However, there was no smell of blood or rancid dead people. ”

Tang Xianzhi said: "The sack that holds people? Could it be that he killed someone and then abandoned his body in the lake? ”

Zhu Bafan said: "So many people were asking for help last night, did they kill so many people?"

The point is... Why didn't they just kill these people, and then put them in sacks with stones, and then sink their corpses?

Even if it's too late, drugs can be used. Last night was so big, and the scale must be huge...

With such a large-scale organization, can't it even be worthy of drugs, right?

The smell of blood and the rancid smell of the dead can be eliminated by freezing it in an ice cellar in advance.

But there doesn't seem to be an ice cellar in the entire Sword Mountain City, at least I don't know.

No, no, no... Since they have asked for help, they are living people, and there are no frozen corpses.

Wow, it's getting more and more bizarre. ”

Apparently... The pig monk is very familiar with the business of "killing people and abandoning corpses", and raised questions at this time.

Tang Huang is also thinking...

However, no one could have imagined why.

Late at night, a group of men in black with sacks containing people threw the living into the lake?

However, no trace of a living person was found at the scene.

Why is that?

Tang Huang said: "If someone in Jianshan City is missing, it will soon be known." ”

Zhu Bafan said: "What the eldest brother said is right, we are waiting for the news of the government..."

Immediately, he narrowed his eyes again and said, "I always feel that something is wrong with Guiyun Lake. Do you remember the second king that night? Why did he jump into the lake? What is the white-clothed female ghost and the blue light that he is talking about? At that time, he didn't even see that his eldest brother was wrong... Could what he said be true? ”

He looked sideways at Tang Xianzhi and said, "Niece, I think, it's okay these days, it's best to restrain your subordinates and don't get close to Guiyun Lake...... This lake is starting to become evil. ”

...

...

The lake breeze is overcast and cold.

Even if the weather clears, it's still bitterly cold.

In the evening, the little lingque prepared a plate of spicy chicken, a plate of spicy shredded beef, a plate of mapo tofu, a jar of wine, and two bowls of rice, and happily waited for Yan Yan to come back for dinner.

Because of Bai Yan, she actually didn't have to serve the eldest lady for a long time, and was raised as a sister of the eldest lady.

Originally, because she was used to doing it, she continued to serve as a child, but since she got married, the eldest lady didn't allow her to do the work of an ordinary maid, and only let her be Bai Yan's lady well.

After waiting for a long time, she didn't wait for Bai Yan to come back, the little sparrow couldn't help but puff out her cheeks, and sneered angrily: "Dead Yan Yan, Stinky Yan ~~~"

...

...

She is not the only lady waiting for her family to return home.

In the south of Guiyun Lake, in a house, a woman also made dinner, waiting for the return of the fisherman.

But she waited left and right, but she couldn't wait.

Until twilight, the sky is dark and gloomy...

didn't wait for the return of Xianggong.

"What's going on?

Lao Qu should have returned from fishing in Guiyun Lake...

He also said this morning that Guiyun Lake was a little uneven and would come back early.

But why haven't you come back yet? ”

The woman became more and more anxious, seeing that it was getting darker and darker, she hesitated, changed her clothes, hurried out, and walked towards Guiyun Lake.

When she arrived at the lakeside, she shouted, "Old song? Old songs? ”

But the wind by the lake whimpered, and through the trees and through the stone gaps, it was like someone screaming and crying at the top of his throat.

Women are not delicate and are not afraid of this.

She moved closer to the lake, and suddenly... There was an eerie commotion behind her.

Women are not afraid, because there are not many fish that break through the water in the lake, and if they are afraid of anything, they should not work outside.

She just subconsciously looked back...

But at this glance, she was stunned, and saw two huge hands poking out of the deep lake water, speeding up to the shore, grabbing her legs like lightning.

"Ahhh

The woman was so frightened that she couldn't react at all.

Seeing that she was about to be caught, a figure swept through the sky faster, grabbed her by the collar, and threw it into the distance.

Bai Yan's figure settled, glanced at the fisherwoman who landed steadily, and said, "This lake is a little weird, don't get any closer." ”

The fisherwoman glanced at the lake, but saw that it was wet, but the hand was missing, apparently retracted into the water.

She couldn't help but kneel on the ground and cried and begged: "Hero... I... My husband didn't come back. He's a fisherman on this lake..."

Bai Yan sighed lightly and said, "Let's go back first..."
