When he came to the door, Pei Ye tapped the beast ring, and then he remembered to look down at his image, and he couldn't help laughing. But when I practiced boxing back then, there were more than this embarrassing time, and it didn't hurt to give Uncle Lin jokes.

After laughing, he raised his head and waited, but the time passed minute by minute, and no one answered the door for a long time.

Uncle Lin is good at doing everything himself, so there are no domestic servants such as porters and grooms in the house, but according to the sensitivity of his five senses, he should be able to hear.

Pei Ye knocked a few times in a row, but when he saw that there was no answer, he simply jumped over, climbed over the courtyard wall lightly, and came to Lin Lin's bedroom, but saw a candlelight shining through the heavy rain curtain.

Uncle Lin didn't sleep before? So why not answer the door?

Pei Ye frowned and walked over, but the door of the bedroom was open outward, Pei Ye knocked lightly on the door frame: "Uncle Lin?" ”

However, no one answered in the room, and Pei Ye looked at it and saw that it was empty.

His eyebrows frowned even more, Pei Ye walked into the room, saw that the quilt was lifted, the candle in front of the bed was lit, he lowered his head, and he didn't wear shoes in front of the bed.

But when he turned his head, there was only one scabbard left in the saber hanging at the head of the bed.

With a tight heart, Pei Ye looked around solemnly and found that the flint was placed far away, and the candle flame in front of the bed was obviously lit by Lin Lin with true qi.

Pei Ye could almost imagine the scene where the person suddenly woke up, snapped his fingers and ignited the fire, and then drew his knife and rushed out.

What's so urgent?

As soon as this question came to mind, an answer that made his heart skip a beat blurted out: "Lin Jue! ”

Lin Lin lost his wife at an early age and had a daughter, who was very loving. The girl's name is Lin Jue, who is about the same age as Pei Ye, quite gentle and lively, but her left arm is congenitally disabled, and there is only one ball of flesh where it should be her hand, which is very distressing.

He still remembered that Lin Lin said that if Lin Jue was not disabled, he would also be a good martial arts seedling.

Now thinking of this possibility, Pei Ye didn't care about the defense of men and women, and rushed to Lin Jue's room, but his heart sank - Lin Jue's door was also open to the outside, and there were no candles in the room.

Pei Ye lit the candle in the room, the room was empty, the girl's quilt was lifted, and her shoes were still in front of the bed.

Lin Lin may have heard something evil in the middle of the night, grabbed the knife and got up to check, but a seventeen-year-old girl who was weak and couldn't help the wind was awakened by a terrible sound in her sleep, would she lift the quilt and look for it?

So the root is here with Lin Jue, she went out for some reason, and Lin Lin had a keen sense and heard that something was wrong, so she got up to save her daughter.

So why did Lin Jue push the door out barefoot in obscene clothes?

A sense of familiarity suddenly came to mind, Pei Ye lowered his head, this is not the right ...... Is it the same yourself?

Trembling climbed all the way from the tail vertebrae to the heavenly spirit, Pei Ye shuddered.

What's going on?

Pei Ye wanted to find Lao Xiangzi to inquire carefully, and wanted to study the source of the fire talisman on his forehead, but Lin Lin's family was unpredictable, and there was no time to care about it at this time, Pei Ye ran back to Lin Lin's room, turned over a sword and came out, starting with a heavy weight, and felt a little more steady, Pei Ye tried to identify the vague traces and trace the traces of the two.

Lin Jue's footprints only extended a short distance outside the door, and then the ground became a man's boot print, apparently taken away. There were still four or five zhang away from the wall, but the man jumped up with Lin Jue on his shoulder, and jumped beyond the courtyard wall in one step, followed by Lin Lin's footprints.

Pei Ye also climbed out of the courtyard wall, but outside the wall was a field, at this time the water was turbulent, the soil was soft, and there were crops blocking the view, and it was too difficult to follow the track.

Although Pei Ye was anxious, he still tried to calm down and think carefully: Since Lin Jue and himself were sleepwalking, did they go to the same destination? He had just walked out of the north gate of the city at that time, and Lin Jue might have gone to the north of the city.

According to this general direction, little by little to search for traces, it took a long time, and finally found a path to the north, Pei Ye followed the traces, out of the field is the river beach, here the footprints are much more obvious, see the traces of both of them are flying across the river, Pei Ye has no such skills, leaning over and swimming over.

After crossing the river, there was a plain, and the traces became more and more obvious, but a phenomenon that made Pei Li's heart uneasy also came out: the captives were still walking evenly with one person, and they seemed to have spare strength. And Lin Lin cherished his daughter, and his footprints could be seen to be urgent, but he was still thrown farther and farther away despite his efforts to catch up.

Pei Li has no true qi, and he can only rely on the muscle strength of his legs to gallop in the rain and wilderness, and he is not much slower than the two of them.

Finally, when it was approaching, the rain was weaker, the rooster had begun to crow, and Pei Ye came to a wood, and the trace did not enter here.

There was silence in the forest, there was no sound of fighting, and a faint smell of blood reached the nostrils.

Pei Ye held down the hilt of the sword and walked in slowly.

The scale of the forest was not large, so it didn't leave Pei Ye more time to prepare, and a bloody corpse crashed into view.

It was Lin Lin.

The site was empty.

Pei Ye came to the corpse, and an unsheathed steel knife fell beside him, the one that Lin Lin often wears, and there is no blood on the blade.

The face that was not angry and self-righteous had turned a little white and distorted to a strange place, his eyes were red and bursting, there were two tear stains on his cheeks, and the remaining expression seemed to be anxious, like angry, like disbelief, but more of pain.

Pei Ye was silent on this face for a few breaths, pursed his lips and looked down.

Lin Lin was wearing a white bedclothes, which had been stained red with blood, and there were nine claw marks on his left and right arms, chest, abdomen, and legs, some of which were cut, some of which were stabbed, and the fatal part was in his neck, where two huge blood holes remained.

Pei Ye slowly squatted down and examined the wounds.

The claws of wolves and leopards are not so sharp and not so long. The tiger's tooth can leave this bite mark, but it is also not accustomed to fighting with its claws, these beasts are held down by their prey and bite to death, and they do not leave so many claw marks, and they do not leave any hair.

What's more, even if the five tigers come, they will not be Uncle Lin's opponents.

Maybe...... There are no wild beasts, and some strange blades in the world are claw-like and can be worn on the hand.

But Pei Ye quickly denied this speculation, not only because of the genuine bite marks on his neck, but also because of those hard-to-recognize paw prints on the ground.

Pei Ye lifted Lin Lin's clothes with a heavy face, revealing a blackened palm print on his chest and abdomen, half of which had been cut by claw marks.

Pei Ye's complexion changed, and he gently pressed the palm print, and the flesh and bones below were as soft as muddy water.

Uncle Lin was the beast he encountered after receiving this palm first. This palm broke four of his ribs, and his internal organs were almost shattered, and if he really faced the tiger at this time, he was afraid that he would not be able to fight.

A very thick and vicious palm.

But what really made Pei Lixin's heart sink was the position of this palm-right in the heart, impartial, and the whole corpse had no artificial scars except for it.
