Chapter 79: Who is it
Seeing the woman in the water, one of the guards exclaimed, "Miss Yokoba, you are really still in the lake!" ”
Another guard asked, "Why didn't you respond when we called you?" ”
Transverse wave's teeth chattered, "I...... I don't dare ......."
"Why?"
Yokoba hugged himself, very frightened, "There's a monster in the water, if I make a sound, it will attack me immediately!" ”
The chief guard said, "As soon as you speak out, we will naturally come to save you!" ”
Hengbo shook his head, "It's too close to me, I'm afraid I'll die before you arrive!" ”
Seeing Hengbo's embarrassed and pitiful look, a young guard was about to reach out to pull her up, Ye Qinghuan snorted lightly, "Don't touch her yet!" ”
The young guard paused, then withdrew his hand with hindsight, "She won't be ......"
Hengbo looked at Ye Qinghuan pitifully, "Immortal Master, I'm Hengbo!" ”
"I ask you, why is Ginhime in the water?"
Speaking of this, Yokoba was angry and cried.
"I followed the little maid along the lake to the antechamber, and I was walking well, when suddenly a man came out from behind the tree, and before I could see clearly, he pushed me into the lake. I instinctively grabbed it and pulled the person who pushed me into the water.
Only then did I realize that the person who pushed me was Yinhime.
I grew up in a water town, and the whole Huanxilou knows that I can water, and I really don't know why Bai Yinji pushed me into the water, which can't cause me any harm except to make me embarrassed. ”
Ye Qinghuan twitched the corner of his mouth, Yinji is angry and has nowhere to spill.
"I was about to question Ginhime, but I found that something grabbed her feet, and Ginhime also found out, and she was immediately pulled into the water. I was afraid that there would be water ghosts in the water, so I desperately shouted for help, but before I could touch the shore, I was also pulled into the water.
It was dark in the water, and I couldn't see what was in the water, but I saw a black one in a trance, like a person but not like a person.
Yinhime is not as good as me, she was entangled in that thing, so I took the opportunity to escape. But before I could swim far, the thing caught up with me, and followed me all the time, and I hid in the water and grass, and I found that as long as I kept silent, it would not find me, even if it passed me several times.
So, when I heard that you were looking for me, I was happy and anxious, but I didn't dare to take any chances, that thing kept going around me, and it should know that I was here, but it wasn't sure where I was. ”
Yokoba asked cautiously, "Einhime, she...... Is she still alive? ”
"Ginhime is fine, just fainted, that thing's target should be you, Ginhime is just unlucky."
As soon as he heard that the target was her, Hengbo trembled even more, "What is that thing, is it a water ghost?" Did it cut Ginhime's nose? ”
Ye Qinghuan put away his sword and fell to Wan Qijue's side, leaned closer and whispered, "Do you think she looks like a leather corpse?" ”
Wan Qijue hooked his lips, "I can't see this, once the skin corpse is put on human skin, it will inherit all the memories of the original owner, not to mention, that painting has been serving by Hengbo's side for many years, and he is familiar with everything about Hengbo, if it really pretends to be Hengbo, I'm afraid even Hengbo himself can't tell it." ”
Hengbo suddenly showed pain on his face, "Immortal Master, can you pull me up first, my feet are cramping......"
Ye Qinghuan raised his chin at the guard, and the guard hurriedly pulled Hengbo up.
Ye Qinghuan hooked his finger at the surface of the lake, and a fireball rushed out of the water and returned to Ye Qinghuan's palm.
"There's nothing left in the lake." She said, "Let's go back to the hall first and see if Mother Xing is here." ”
…………
The guards hugged Yinji and Hengbo, and followed Ye Qinghuan and Wan Qijue back to the hall, but they didn't expect that Xing's mother was already there, and she looked groggy.
Ye Qinghuan pushed Lin Qingyu's arm, and raised his chin at Xing's mother's reassurance, "When did she come?" ”
"A little earlier than you, and it didn't take long to arrive."
"Do you say why it's so late?"
"Said that she had not slept well recently, and drank a bowl of soothing medicine before going to bed, and when she heard the sound outside, she couldn't get up in a groggy state, and the little maid who was waiting for her didn't run by herself, and she didn't go to serve her, she stumbled, and as a result, she fell on the road, sprained her foot, and there was no one around, so she could only wait for someone to save her."
Ye Qinghuan found that Xing's mother was rubbing her ankles, and there was a little girl standing not far from her, who was squirting from time to time with red eyes, as if she had been scolded.
Ye Qinghuan nodded, "Sounds like a perfect reason." ”
Lin Qingyu lowered his voice, "You suspect her ......"
Ye Qinghuan tugged at the corners of his mouth, "I doubt everyone." ”
Lin Qingyu: ......
"But at the moment, it's basically locked in two people."
"Who?" Lin Qingyu was a little inexplicably excited.
Ye Qinghuan showed a meaningful smile, then turned his head and asked Wan Qijue, "What do you think?" ”
Wan Qijue walked up to her, his gaze paused somewhere for a moment, "I trust your judgment. ”
…………
Xing's mother had just finished scolding the little girl, and she was rubbing her feet angrily, and when she saw Hengbo who was reported in, she didn't care about her foot injury, and immediately screamed heartily.
"Good daughter, I heard that you fell into the water, how are you? Did you hurt anything? Saying that, he glared at the little maid who came to report the news viciously, "These little girls can't serve well personally, it's useless to keep them, and the personal work is not good, so go and do rough work!" ”
The two little maids immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Mom is gracious, mom is gracious!" ”
Li Yuanwai rubbed the plaster on his temples, "Is it time to teach the little girl a lesson?" I also want to ask you how to be the butty bustard's mother, and manage my Huanxi Building into a miasma, if you don't do it well, let the virtuous as soon as possible! ”
Xing's mother put out the fire all of a sudden, and shrunk as if she had a turtle shell.
…………
Ye Qinghuan walked over and whispered a few words in Li Yuanwai's ear, Li Yuanwai's eyes slowly widened, and he turned his head incredulously and asked, "Really?" ”
Ye Qinghuan: "Eight or nine is not far from ten!" ”
Li Yuanwai pondered for a moment, "Okay." ”
He ordered someone to carry Xing's mother and Hengbo to the flower hall next to him.
Ye Qinghuan walked into the flower hall, waved her hand to let the servant out, and she closed the door with her backhand.
"What is this doing?" Xing's mother was puzzled.
Hengbo suddenly thought of something, and his face was a little ugly, "Does the immortal master still doubt me?" ”
"Suspect what?"
"Honestly, what I'm going to arrest tonight is a leather corpse, and you two are the last and most suspicious. I really can't tell which of you is the leather corpse, so ......"
"What kind of leather corpse," Mother Xing said in a panic: "Immortal Master, what are you talking about?" How could I be a corpse, I don't even know what this thing is. Oh my God! I really died unjustly, I shouldn't have drunk that bowl of tranquilizer before going to bed! ”
Hengbo was calmer, "How does the immortal master want to tell the difference?" ”
"It's very simple," Ye Qinghuan smiled, turning his hand to reveal a dagger, "As long as I cut your back with a knife, the one who sees the bones and does not see the blood is a leather corpse!" ”
