Chapter 58: Qingji Village

On this day, Chao Huan, who was about to continue taking a nap, was suddenly invited to the hall by a subordinate, she looked at the servant leading the way in front of her, and guessed that there was something urgent about her.

The servant took her to the door of the hall and retreated, Chao Huan walked in, only He Xiu and Pei Ziyan were in the hall, the two of them sat high and low, as if they were saying something, and stopped communicating when they saw Chao Huan coming.

Chao Huan looked at the two of them, his brows jumped sharply, but he still had an indifferent look on his face.

"What is the Pavilion Master looking for me?"

I haven't seen him for a few days, and Xiu's face is a little tired, and the continuous little things in the Fuyue Pavilion are so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, obviously there has never been such a thing before, but this time it suddenly broke out... And Xiu only thought that it was because he was attacked and made the people under him unstable, and he was busy until today and did not have a good rest.

Compared with him, Pei Ziyan on the other side can be said to be bright, she is an idler like Chao Huan, but recently Chao Huan will bask in the sun and read books in the yard, but she has been nesting in the room, and her skin is as white as jade.

And Xiu frowned, he subconsciously looked at Pei Ziyan when he saw Chao Huan, but the other party just drank tea indifferently with a teacup, and he didn't look like a thief at all.

Seeing this, Ji Xiu knew that the matter was irreparable, he looked at Chao Huan and sighed: "Actually, there is something I want to ask you for help." ”

And Xiu said that there was an accident in a village near Fuliu City, and the village chief asked the city lord for help, but the city lord has always been idle, so the matter was pushed to the side of Ji Xiu. But Ji Xiu has been too busy recently, and Pei Ziyan recommended herself to check it out, but the request was for Chao Huan to be with her.

"Ziyan heard that Zhu girl's medical skills are good, I don't know how many casualties there are when I go to the mortal village this time, and I will ask Zhu girl to show her skills at that time." Pei Ziyan said kindly, as the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person, the beauty begged each other, probably few people can refuse.

"But I'm just a mortal." Chao Huan frowned, obviously refusing.

Pei Ziyan said: "I wish the girl rest assured, I will definitely ensure that the girl is safe and sound on this trip." ”

When she said this, Chao Huan couldn't say anything to refuse, she looked at and Xiu for help, but she obviously couldn't take Pei Ziyan.

And Xiu tried to refuse, he didn't want Chao Huan to have too much to do with Pei Ziyan, but he didn't expect Pei Ziyan to call Chao Huan on his own initiative, he and Pei Ziyan have been together for many years, so he naturally knows that this person's character has always been the same.

In this way, it is a sure thing that Chao Huan and Pei Ziyan will go together.

Faced with Chao Huan's request for help, and Xiu could only say: "Well, this time I will trouble Miss Zhu, and after this matter, the deity will definitely compensate Miss Zhu." ”

Who wants your compensation? Chao Huan shouted in her heart, the biggest problem now is not whether she has compensation, but that she doesn't know any medical skills at all.

Just relying on her half-baked medical skills to save people, is it because those people don't die fast enough?

She's studying poison!

No matter what Chao Huan thought in her heart, in the afternoon, she went out with Pei Ziyan, the carriage pulled by the spirit beast slowly walked on the street, Chao Huan and Pei Ziyan sat in the carriage, relatively speechless.

It wasn't until the carriage left the city and walked on the country road that Pei Ziyan spoke first.

"I've read the letter from the village chief..."

"Well, what's going on." Chao Huan pretended to be calm and asked, only hoping that there would be no disability.

Pei Ziyan said that the village is called Qingji Village, fifty miles north of Fuliucheng, which happens to be the most marginal of the jurisdiction of Fuliucheng, and it is precisely the case that the situation in Fuliucheng is not very clear, but according to the registration in the past few years, it is a village with a large population.

According to the village chief, there are demons and evil spirits in the village, and now dozens of people are missing, but the specific situation is not clear, the person who wrote the letter has no culture, but reluctantly explained the idea of asking for help, and the rest have to go to the village to see.

"Evil spirits?" Chao Huan was a little surprised, but he didn't know what kind of demon was causing trouble.

"Yes, but the specific situation can only be known after going to see it, isn't it just in case that I invited Miss Zhu to accompany me." As she spoke, Pei Ziyan showed her signature smile, and Chao Huan found that she was like a fox when she laughed, or the kind of fox with nine tails that wanted to become a sperm, maybe it was because of this that she always felt that Pei Ziyan smiled beautifully and with bad intentions.

However, this time he went to solve the incident with Pei Ziyan, although Chao Huan was very jealous of her, but thinking of some of the words he said to her when he left, he also let go of some of his feelings for Pei Ziyan.

And Xiu said that although Pei Ziyan's reputation is not very good, she is dedicated to helping mortals, perhaps due to her previous encounters, even if she is now a good person, but she still has a trace of pity for ordinary mortals.

Chao Huan felt a little unbelievable, Pei Ziyan's image was not good for her, but such a person would help mortals... No matter how you think about it, it feels wrong, but this time Chao Huan walked with the other party, so I can see if this person is as He Xiu said.

When she left, she asked Lian Yunlan to spread the news to the sky, on the one hand, to prevent her from revealing her stuff, and on the other hand... It's to confirm something.

After a few words, neither of them spoke, Pei Ziyan looked at the mood that seemed to be in a good mood, Chao Huan took a book to relieve boredom and read it, the two of them read a book and looked at the scenery, but it was unusually harmonious.

The spirit beast pulled the cart and walked strangely, even if it was not suitable for taking care of Chaohuan's mortal body, it only took an hour to rush from Fuliu City to Naqingji Village. When he came, Pei Ziyan went to investigate the situation nearby, except for a Qingji village, there were no villages nearby.

I lifted the curtain and looked at the village not far away, the village looked ordinary, not rich but full of food, large and small houses were scattered, and there were at least a hundred or so households at a cursory glance.

Chao Huan said suddenly: "There are not many people in this village, how can they think of asking for help when more than ten people are missing." ”

Pei Ziyan heard her question, and also thought of something, they watched from a distance for a while, obviously it was broad daylight, but there were few people walking around in the village, one by one in their own houses, and the village was very quiet at the moment.

"Go and ask about the situation." Pei Ziyan said, Chao Huan also nodded, and after the two got out of the carriage, Pei Ziyan put away the spirit beast cart with a wave of his hand.

What she took was not an ordinary storage bag, but a spirit beast card that could hold spirit beasts, and there was space inside, but it could be used for spirit beasts to survive, and of course the price was much more expensive than ordinary storage bags. Chao Huan also has one, but she doesn't have a spirit animal, so she just throws it in the corner of the storage bag and falls into the dust.

The two walked from the path to the village, and when they reached the entrance of the village, there was a large stone there, the stone was round and smooth, and it looked like it had been carefully cared for, and the word "Qingji Village" was engraved on the stone.

Pei Ziyan said: "Let's go to the village chief first, and find him to understand the situation." ”

Chao Huan also wanted to see Pei Ziyan's methods, so he just nodded yes and followed the other party into the village.

Although there were not many people walking outside, the villagers here were obviously always paying attention to the situation outside, and as soon as they entered the village, Chao Huan and Pei Ziyan noticed that someone was watching them. The gaze that looked secretly was not malicious, it seemed to be just pure curiosity.

Chao Huan was a little uncomfortable, but she thought that she was a mortal, so she didn't react and followed Pei Ziyan indifferently.

As they walked, they met a young man, who did not hide in his house, but went to the field with a hoe, and saw someone enter the village from a distance, and hurried back.

"Who are you? What are you doing in our village? The young man looked at the two of them vigilantly, clutching the hoe in his hand tightly, looking like he would do it if the two were bad guys.

I want to mention here that because Pei Ziyan's appearance is so eye-catching, she disguised herself when she came and turned into an ordinary and delicate woman. As for Chao Huan, she is not pretending, after all, she is now Zhu Shu's beautiful face.

Chao Huan didn't say anything, just quietly watched Pei Ziyan's performance.

Pei Ziyan glanced at him, but he didn't have that kind of tenderness, and took out the village chief's simple letter of help with a businesslike attitude, and said: "We are people sent by Fuliucheng, and we have received a request from the head of your Qingji Village to investigate the disappearance case here. ”

When the young man heard that he was here to investigate the disappearance, his face suddenly changed, and Chao Huan looked at him with a look that felt a little strange.

Hearing that they were here to help them, the young man was not only overjoyed, but showed a look of worry, was he worried about them?

The young man put down the hoe in his hand, looked at the two of them deeply, and sighed: "I know, come with me, I'll take you to see the village chief." ”

The two followed the young man to the depths of the village, and as Chao Huan walked, he found that the further he went, the better the houses seemed to be, and the outside of the village were all grass houses and mud tile houses, but the inside were all brick houses.

On the way, the young man introduced himself and apologized for what had just happened.

"I'm sorry, it's not been peaceful in the village lately, and we're also nervous when outsiders come suddenly, by the way, my name is Liu Qin, if there's anything I can help with, just ask."

Although the first meeting was not very good, Liu Qin was upright and cheerful, but asked Pei Ziyan to chat with him a few more words, and everything else was fine, but when it came to the disappearance case, he kept silent.

Pei Ziyan saw that there was something strange in it, so she didn't ask any more, and planned to go directly to the village chief to understand the situation when the time came.

After walking for a while, the two of them walked to a blue brick house under the leadership of Liu Qin, this house and the others were obviously better, and it could be seen that the owner of the house had some money.

Liu Qin stepped forward, knocked on the door, and shouted inside: "Grandpa the village chief, the people from the city are here, saying that they are here to help investigate the disappearance." ”

A few seconds later, a hurried footstep sounded from behind the door, and someone pulled open the door, sixty or seventy years old, with gray hair and wrinkled faces, and looked kind.

This person was Liu Fangzheng, the village chief of Qingji Village, and when he saw Liu Qin followed by two women he had never seen before, he immediately said with a smile: "I have seen two girls, dare to ask if the two girls are sent by the city lord to help our village?" ”

Seeing that the two of them nodded yes, and took out the letter for help he wrote and the token of the city lord, Liu Fangzheng smiled even deeper, and hurriedly invited the two into the house, Liu Qin followed in, and Liu Fangzheng didn't say anything.

Liu Fangzheng invited the two to the table, and immediately called his wife to serve tea and pour water, and after a while of busy work, the three of them sat at the table.

"The letter said that dozens of people are missing in Qingji Village, what is the specific situation?" Pei Ziyan still has a businesslike attitude, and she can't help but take a few more glances from Chaohuan.

She had a cold attitude, and Liu Fangzheng didn't dare to say anything, but felt that the person sent by the city lord should be like this, and respectfully answered Pei Ziyan's question.
