In the dead of night, the moon and stars are scarce.

The breeze whipped up, the flames jumped, and the town's burning brazier illuminated the outline of the town, like a creeping beast in the darkness.

The sound of insects and frogs, and the occasional barking of dogs, were the loudest sounds of the night.

In the night sky, the oblique moon hangs high, the black clouds flutter slowly, and the moonlight shines through, which looks strangely colorful.

The streets of the town were dusty and closed, but the burning brazier placed at the doorway intermittently lit up the criss-crossing streets.

The jagged trees, illuminated by the moonlight or firelight, trembled slightly and swayed back and forth on the ground and walls.

Click!

The sudden sound was very clear in the night, and a figure swayed down the street.

"Wang ...... Woof...... Woo ......"

In the courtyard on the side, a big yellow dog kept barking, and if it wasn't tightly tied by a rope, it was suspected that it would pounce on it in the next moment.

"Scream, scream, scream, scream...... I don't care about you. ”

The man looked at the big yellow dog barking at him, and immediately became dissatisfied, cursed, picked up a fist-sized stone from the side of the road, and threw it fiercely.

"Woohoo......"

Although it missed, the big yellow dog stopped barking and turned and ran back to the wooden nest.

"Hehe, I'm scared...... Dare to be crazy with your third master...... Sooner or later, I'll stew you and eat it......"

Yan San grinned proudly, now he was happy in his heart, he had just won two taels of silver in a bet, and he drank half a catty of wine, and he looked a little excited.

After scolding a few words, Yan San continued to walk home.

Today during the day, I was busy all day for the river god festival, and I didn't rest much, although it was like this every year, but the procedure was really tedious and boring, and it was not interesting.

Hmph! The river god blesses, bless a fart, if it really works, why don't you bless yourself to make a fortune, why are you still living a poor life of hunger and fullness......

Of course, it's okay to think about this in your own heart, but you can't say it with your mouth, and it will save some trouble.

But I didn't expect my luck to be so good tonight, I won five or six in a row, but I went back to the previous few times, and I remembered that Song Nan's expression was full of unwillingness after losing, not to mention how comfortable it was.

Humming a little song and walking back, it was already not far from home, and there was a brazier on the road, so I quickly walked home.

Two dilapidated houses, with low walls made of simple stones, this is Yan San's home.

closed the door, didn't take off his clothes, turned his head and lay on the bed, casually pulled the quilt at the head of the bed and covered his body, and soon fell asleep.

"Hmph...... Call...... Humph......"

Soon, there was a snoring sound, and the whole person fell asleep holding the quilt.

"Bang Bang ......"

A loud noise came from outside, as if something had fallen, waking up Yan San, who was sleeping soundly.

However, Yan San only opened his eyes slightly, he was too sleepy, he didn't think much about it, and continued to fall asleep.

"Bang ......"

There was another loud bang, and Yan San, who was about to fall asleep again, completely woke up.

"Hemp, what's that...... Noisy your grandfather's dreams. ”

Yan San was confused, dragged his shoes, and yawned to the door, but he didn't open the door, but looked out through the crack in the door.

It was dark outside, and with the appearance in my memory, I could vaguely see some outlines in the moonlight.

Strange, I remember that the brazier at the door was supposed to be burning, and now how is it extinguished.

Thinking of the noise just now, could it be that the beast from where it knocked over the brazier, Yan Sanxian was still a little confused in his mind, and he didn't think much about it, so he opened the door.

was blown by the cold wind, and I couldn't help but feel excited, my head was a little sober, and I tightened the clothes on my body, it was really unlucky, it was really cold on this big night.

Enduring the cold wind, Yan San walked to the gate, and sure enough, the brazier had already turned on its side and spilled on the ground, but fortunately it didn't burn, otherwise he wouldn't have set his house on fire.

Yan San was secretly glad that he wanted to extinguish the carbon fire, but hesitated, after all, according to local customs, this brazier should be burned overnight.

Don't look at Yan San's own disdain for gods and ghosts on weekdays, but now on this big night, there is no one around, and it is really a bit infiltrating.

After thinking about it, I still had to light the brazier again, and while I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt that there seemed to be some movement behind me.

"Huh? something......

As soon as he turned his head, he felt a numbness on his head, a stream of heat came out, and the whole person was unsteady on his feet and fell to the ground.

Through the blurred vision, a figure walked behind him at some point, still holding something in his hand, and was about to struggle to get up.

"You ......"

Before he could speak, the figure raised his hand again, and then struck down hard......

One time, two times......

I don't know how long it took, I don't know how many times I swung, Yan San finally stopped twitching, the blood flowed on the ground, and Yan San had already died of his breath.

The figure sat on the ground, his chest heaving violently, and it was clear that his heart was not at peace.

In the end, he stumbled to his feet, and walked to the side of the path without caring about Yan San's body, and finally disappeared at the end of the darkness.

............

"Bell Bell Bell ......"

Early in the morning, the sound of gongs sounded in the streets outside, the noisy voices of people went back and forth, and the footsteps of people could be heard, but the time that should have been deserted had already begun to be lively.

Squeak.

As soon as Nantian opened the door, Mei Ziyu had just opened the door, and the two happened to go downstairs together.

When I went downstairs, I saw that Xiao Er was standing at the door and looking, and he pulled someone who might be an acquaintance and said something excitedly, and he couldn't stop gesturing twice in his hand.

However, the man didn't stay long, he didn't want to leave, and after saying a few more words to Xiao Er, he hurriedly followed the flow of people in one direction.

The shopkeeper looked a little flustered, shook his head and sighed from time to time, and turned back to the store just in time to see Nan Tianyi and two people going downstairs.

"Hey, the two guest officers got up so early, but do you want to prepare some meals?"

"I don't need to eat, but it's so noisy outside, and it's hard to remember if you beat gongs and drums like this early in the morning, is this also one of the river god sacrifices?" Nan Tianyi asked.

Xiao Er shook his head, and said with a complicated expression: "No, the River God Sacrifice has been presided over yesterday, and these two days are just to make up for an auspicious time, as for the outside......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Er's face deteriorated a little, and then he continued: "It's someone who died in the town last night, just at the west end of the town, I heard that the scene is miserable, and I don't know who did it, hey, it's really unfortunate to catch up with this kind of thing these days." ”

Nan Tian heard that it was a homicide case, and he was a little interested, but he wanted to go over and have a look, and maybe he could help solve the case.

may have seen Nan Tianyi's intentions, Xiao Er couldn't help but dissuade him: "Guest officer, don't think about going to see the excitement, the things in the town generally don't like to involve outsiders, and now most of the people in the town have gone, and the shopkeeper of my house has just gone to see the situation, and the small one is staying to see the store." ”

Mei Ziyu also agreed: "Yes, more things are better than less, our reckless past may also cause unnecessary misunderstandings, and these things are handled by the government." ”

Nan Tianyi sighed rather regretfully: "Then don't go, presumably this kind of case will be closed soon." ”

At this time, Shen Luo'er and Ye Qingwu also went downstairs, and when they heard Nan Tianyi's words, they didn't understand what was going on, they only felt that there was something lively to see.

"What's wrong, what's wrong, but what's going on?"

Seeing Shen Luo'er's extremely excited appearance, Nan Tianyi was speechless and told her what had happened, letting her die of that heart.

Hearing that a murder had occurred, Shen Luo'er's little face, which was full of interest, darkened, and suddenly lost her enthusiasm just now.

Nantian smiled and said, "By the way, why did you come out?"

In fact, as soon as Nan Tian went out, he sensed the sound in their room, almost at the same time, but he didn't know why he was only going out now.

Ye Qingwu smiled lightly and said, "Of course, it's a little bit of dressing up, of course the girls should be more delicate." ”

Shen Luo'er also nodded heavily and said, "Yes, girls must learn to take care of themselves since childhood." ”

Don't you think it's troublesome, Nan Tianyi secretly complained, but naturally he wouldn't say it, he just nodded as if he didn't understand.
