forty-one
Ren Yuanyi was not in the mansion today, and he was called out by the hall master early in the morning to deal with things.
Originally, Ren Yuanyi was unwilling, but I heard that some passers-by saw a red shadow, and others saw a scorching red sun above the victim's head before he died. Everyone thought they were dazzled at first, but they didn't care. As a result, as soon as that person died, no matter how ordinary things were, they had to pull out a flower. They all thought it was evil.
When Ren Yuanyi heard the red clothes, he immediately stopped and took the initiative to ask Ying to take care of this matter.
Ren Yuanyi tidied up his clothes, and thought as he walked, this red-clothed skull dared to come out to hang out in broad daylight, making others scared to death.
When Ren Yuanyi arrived at that house, he also saw several people surrounding the house, and some people said that they saw the victim's head bleeding, lying on the ground panting, panting for breath for two moments. When the doctor arrived, he was already dead, and it would suddenly be the same as a corpse, and the person who had not breathed a moment ago got up and gasped twice, and then he was completely dead.
Changxiang Town can also see that there is such a big thing happening now, everyone has come to watch, sympathetic, frightened, and irrelevant, everyone's faces, strange. But they didn't dare to get too close, and they all surrounded the house.
When Ren Yuanyi passed, everyone looked up at a road, Ren Yuanyi lowered his head, covered a white linen cloth in front of him, Ren Yuanyi's kind smile fell, and he opened it to see that although the person's face was distorted, it was complete.
Ren Yuanyi turned his head and asked again, "You mean that this person saw a little girl in red before he died." ”
"Yes, Childe, how dare I bluff people. The man next to him seemed to be familiar with the deceased, and he introduced him as he spoke. "I have the surname Li with him, live in his house opposite the door, grew up together, decades of friendship, he is called Li Queer, son, he is also a hard-working person, the eldest son died in the early years, the second son also died, and he has not remarried, so he is so poor that he can only support himself, and then he has no such thoughts, so he has been living alone. I see that my brother is pitiful and often helps him, and he is also very familiar with it when he comes and goes, but I didn't expect to encounter these things today, and it is really a bad fate. ”
Ren Yuanyi didn't have any expression, just said. "Condolences. ”
He filled in the scar and handed it a factual report, telling him that he had experienced him: the body was uninjured.
Ren Yuanyi originally wanted to turn over the deceased, but when he saw that the rest of the servants were in agreement, the serious people also felt that the corpse was the same, and they didn't refute it, so they recorded it indiscriminately.
It seems that it is more like a lesson for people.
I just didn't know that the man was dead, and he suddenly gasped and got up, thinking about what to say.
As soon as Ren Yuanyi came back and took a sip of tea, someone came over and told him that the deceased had many wounds out of thin air.
"Hasn't the corpse been examined?" Everyone was surprised when they heard this, and Ren Yuanyi's face was really not very good.
"How many injuries are there?" Ren Yuanyi put the teacup on the shelf, and didn't care about anything, so he hurried to the scene.
At this moment, someone rushed in in a hurry and bumped into Ren Yuanyi's body, he frowned, and heard the panicked waiter say that it was not good, "It's not good, it's not good." Li Que's head is gone!"
Ren Yuanyi was a little puzzled, what do ordinary people want that thing for?
Ren Yuanyi was walking fast enough, but when he was about to arrive, someone came to tell him that his body was gone.
First the wound, then the head is gone, that's it, now the people are gone.
"It's strange, it's useless to look into his background. "Ren Yuanyi is indifferent.
"Indeed, as he said to his family, Li Que has always been a person who keeps to himself, and it is not unusual to be a bad person in the shop under the name of the Song family in Changxiang Town. ”
Invisible in plain sight.
Ren Yuanyi stood at the door, didn't go in for a long time, and the people around the house were even more frightened when they saw this situation, and they all wanted to leave this place.
Ren Yuan was thinking about why he was picked? Just an accident?
He didn't say anything.
Li Que's matter spread, and when he heard about it on the road, he collected the footsteps he had just stepped in. Thinking that he would go out of this township in the future anyway, it would be better to leave it to the rest of the Ren family to take care of, so he retracted his feet with peace of mind.
If it was really the same little girl who did it, she would have come to her that night after all.
Ren Yuanyi sometimes reminded everyone to be more vigilant, ordinary talismans were useless.
Ren Yuanyi went back to Ren's mansion, paused at the door, turned around and asked, "How are the two of them?"
The waiter was about to speak, but Ren Yuanyi interrupted again, anyway, this place is not far from that place, it is better to go in person.
What the waiter thought was that Ren Yuanyi was not at ease with the two of them being alone, and his face was a little strange.
Ren Yuanyi's ear is very good, halfway through, he heard a familiar voice, when he approached, he raised his eyes to see Ren Yuanhang and a few of his fox friends standing at the gate of the courtyard and shouting, and when he approached, he found that there was a person kowtowing at the door.
............
Lu Xi's porcelain hand was still on his head, and he was shocked when he saw Pei Yizheng open his eyes, and hurriedly took his hand down and shrank it behind his back.
Pei Yizheng didn't say anything, his eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and he seemed to be a little unconscious.
But when Pei Yizheng raised his eyes, his gaze easily crossed her face, and after staying for a while, Lu Xici's heart sank slightly.
Lu Xici looked at him silently, pretending to be relaxed. "I heard that the Ren family's diagnosis and treatment fees are frighteningly expensive, what did you confess? Are you so rich?"
Lu Xici's obviously joking tone didn't expect Pei Yizheng to answer at all, his eyebrows were faint. "I confessed...... A very important thing went in. ”
"What is it?" Lu Xici was interested when he heard it.
Pei Yizheng said, just looking at Lu Xi porcelain.
Seeing that he was speechless, Lu Xici also looked back at him.
In the room without much light, the young man in white was lying there, his eyebrows were lowered, his eyes were dark and dull, and his green hair shook gently with the movement of the young man's raised hand, covering his beauty and bones. He was covered with a thin brocade quilt, and his white arm was exposed, which was slender and white, thin and smooth, and the skin that spit out was almost transparent, and when he looked down, it was still full of bandages.
Lu Xici was about to say something, but without warning, someone pushed the door in.
Lu Xici turned around and saw that Miss Ah Zi had come back with a few people, and the one standing at the end was the townshipless Changxiang she had just seen.
Lu Xici had just been taken by him, and when he saw that Elder Wuxiang's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to look directly, Lu Xici turned slightly sideways, and involuntarily hid in a more corner.
"Miss Lu, the elder is going to heal Pei Gongzi's injuries, do you want to stay here?" Ah Zi asked very politely.
Lu Xici originally wanted to turn his steps lightly and retire, but he looked up and saw that Pei Yizheng was still looking at him, gritted his teeth, and actually agreed.
Elder Wuxiang didn't look at Lu Xici at all, as if this person didn't exist.
The people in it, Lu Xici, didn't know any of them, but they obeyed the orders of the Township Chief, and the Township Elder didn't speak, so they naturally didn't say anything. So they got busy with their work, and before they could do it, they made an array to surround him.
Wuxiang Changxiang raised his hand and pricked a few stitches on Lu Xi's porcelain's head, and then pasted a lot of talismans, pasting Pei Yizheng's entire body.
Then the people looked solemn, put their hands together, pointed upwards, and began to sing.
Lu Xici stood far away, looking at it with some idleness, and for some reason it always felt like they were carrying out large-scale feudal activities.........
Lu Xici turned his head to look at Ah Zi, and found that Ah Zi was very serious and focused, and his eyes were motionless.
Lu Xici's eyes were floating, and she was suddenly frightened by the picture in front of her, and she directly covered her mouth. Even Ah Zi's face changed, and he suddenly got up.
Pei Yizheng's skin slowly oozed blood beads, his white clothes gradually dyed red, and even the bones under the skin and flesh came out with the sound of sour teeth, he lay there, as if his whole body and soul were bound, but the whole person trembled uncontrollably.
But Pei Yizheng endured it without saying a word, and then physically couldn't withstand the fierce washing of the aura of heaven and earth. The smell of blood spilled out of his mouth, ran down his jaw, and ran down his collarbone.
Lu Xici could feel his pain just by looking at it, and his internal organs were all displaced, twisting back alive, how painful it should be.
Pei Yizheng's face was very pale, just like he had been fished out of the water, his body was a little shaky, and then he spit out a mouthful of blood, as if he was exposing himself, and it seemed that Ling Chi had divided the corpses of five horses, and he had cut these torture protections one by one.
Lu Xici just watched and felt like she was dead a lot, it was good to be dead, it was good to be alive and scared her to death, if she was lying there, she would definitely be obediently waiting for death.
He felt that every minute and every second passed very long, and he didn't know how long the hourglass was kept little by little. Elder Wuxiang snorted, opened his eyes, and then carefully knocked Pei Yizheng again, looking at his face.
After checking like this a few times, the head of the country walked away with his sleeves and his things. The people behind him didn't stop long, packed up their things, and followed the Elder Wuxiang away.
When Pei Yizheng opened it, he saw Luxi porcelain at a glance.
Lu Xici didn't bother to say hello, so he asked him how he was.
Pei Yizheng opened his mouth dirty, as if he couldn't speak, and Lu Xici's heart tightened inexplicably.
Half-loud, Pei Yizheng only said that she could rest assured for the time being.
Ah Zi glanced left and right, and felt that he was not suitable to stay here, so he left softly, and closed the door for them by the way.
Pei Yizheng closed his eyes until he couldn't hear the footsteps, the corners of his mouth hooked, and his eyes wandered at the moment, looking Lu Xici porcelain up and down, and then he smiled and said, "I want to eat a string of sour sugar gourds." ”
Lu Xici was a little surprised and a little sad when he heard it.
The windows and doors were closed, the light was dim, and there was a bad smell in the air.
Lu Xici's eyes darkened, and he looked at him blankly, a little too incomprehensible, it turned out that he really liked to eat sour.
Life is already so bitter, why do you still like to eat sour? After suffering too much, you can still not change your face?
............
In the courtyard of Ren's house, the woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed, which is another kind of murder. Since it was the same means of committing the crime, Ren Yuanhang and the two of them were already a little stunned when they heard this, and they refused to get up no matter how they helped the woman.
The woman's husband's name was Xue Si, and today the woman got up and found that her husband, who was sleeping next to her, was out of breath. No matter how much I came to the door, there was no wound, and the person went for no reason.
Seeing this, some people even suspected that it had reached the woman's head, and they were bluffing to beat and clamp.
The woman panicked, knelt directly at the entrance of the Ren family's compound, couldn't drive away, and kowtowed vigorously. "Huang Tian is above, the little woman is bluffed to death when she sees the dead, how dare you commit a crime, you have to call the shots for me......"
Ren Yuanyi's face sank, Pei Yizheng and Lu Xici were already staying here, and it could be said that the suspicion had been ruled out, so how did this red-clothed man break into this town, and the timing of this crime was too coincidental, and his face was pale.
"What do you say? Ren Yuanhang just heard Li Que's rumors, and he asked without giving up.
"I didn't find out, and I heard the doctor say that he died of illness, but his body was healthy and he had never been sick or sick, so how could he die of illness?" said the woman, kowtowing again.
Ren Yuan thought: Oh, this time he actually died of illness.
Ren Yuanyi invited the woman into Ren's house, and soon after, the person from Ren's family came back and caught a sneaky person, named Li De, who had nothing to do with the lady's husband on weekdays, but today he made a special detour to see the victim.
The man was so flustered that he couldn't speak, and Ren Yuanyi went to see it himself.
The man saw that it was Ren Yuanyi, so he stumbled and said. said that he closed his eyes and saw Xue Si when he had a nightmare yesterday, and dreamed that he was about to end his life.
Li De didn't take this matter to heart, but for some reason he was uneasy, after all, he had never been in contact with this person before, and he dreamed of him for no reason, and even Li De saw every thing and scene in Xue Si's courtyard very clearly.
Li De couldn't help but tell the people around him about it. This suspenseful thing, everyone only felt that his dream words were not quite convinced. It just doesn't happen to be the case. But today, Li De's eyelids jumped when he got up, so he went to the victim early in the morning to make a sound.
It happened that when it came to this day, he hadn't gone in yet, and there was a lot of noise inside that Xue Si had died of illness. Li De was surprised and couldn't turn back, and it was even more strange when he heard the words, and after entering the house to see, the scene was really as shown in the dream, and he didn't leave for a while.
When the Ren family sent someone to investigate this matter, it was after the excitement was dispersed, and at that time, the figures were three or three, and Li De was particularly abrupt. After several interrogations, he easily discovered his problem and arrested him.
Li De fell to the ground, still stunned, "Childe, tell me, is this strange?"
Ren Yuanyi's eyes flashed, this clearly seemed to be reasonable, he looked at this bizarre thing and was clearly more like a person who had the luck of heaven and earth, and it was difficult for an innocent person to vent his anger.
............
Inside the house, Lu Xici chatted with Pei Yizheng with or without a match, and he didn't see much closeness on weekdays, but now he is a difficult brother, and he has a sense of sympathy for the same disease, but he also chats smoothly.
There was a strong medicinal fragrance wafting into the nose in the room, Lu Xici didn't know why she was very sleepy, her consciousness gradually became confused, the scene in front of her seemed to be covered with several layers of thick fog, and when she raised her hand slightly, she took a nap.
Just when he was half-asleep and half-awake, it seemed that he heard some strange cry from a long distance, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that there were still people everywhere, so he asked if you heard something, and you were afraid that you had heard wrong
When I came back, I had a dream.
I dreamed of a man locked in a tower, or maybe he wasn't a person, he seemed to have no limbs, only a head and a body. The flat body was full of arrow feathers, and the lower half of the body was in a kneeling position, and the blood was boiling under the head, and a brazier was burning Zhengwang.
Lu Xici felt that his spirit was floating in the air, his eyes were confused and looking at this gloomy tower, a gust of wind in Xuyi floated her outside, outside the tower was snow, the earth had no other colors, the sky was very gray, and from time to time there were crows stopping on the branches of dead trees and calling. The leaves of the wood velvet had almost fallen off, swaying sparsely in the north wind, and the sky was becoming more and more light and lofty.
She looked at it and there seemed to be no way, so she floated back, and the sky outside the window split at the right time, as if deliberately to brighten up this thrilling scene, deliberately split the person's pale cheeks, Lu Xici's blood flowed backwards all over her body, and she didn't dare to go in and take a closer look.
The congealed blood of the arrows in the tower before and after him flowed quickly, and the blood ticked and ticked as the inhuman body trickled down and into the brazier.
The time around Lu Xici was temporarily still, the posture of supporting her elbows remained unchanged, the smile on the corner of her mouth was involuntarily mixed with a faint astringency, she suddenly woke up from the fragment of this dream, breathing heavily, she couldn't care about anything, her eyes looked around in fear, but the place felt so familiar, she couldn't think of it for a long time, she was thinking in a daze, and the whole person seemed to be still trapped in that dream.
The scene was too real, as if she had actually gone there to see it, and she bowed her pale arms for a long time.
Lu Xici's eyes turned slightly, and his head fell to Pei Yizheng, who was meditating on the bed with his eyes closed, and took a closer look. It seems that Pei Yizheng has fallen into a deep sleep at some point, when he closed his eyes, there was a sluggish gloom between his eyebrows, Lu Xici got up, looked at him condescendingly for a while, and raised an uninjured hand as if he was bewitched, smoothing his brows.
Touching the cold temperature, Lu Xici saw that Pei Yizheng's eyelashes seemed to move, and Lu Xici was frightened and quickly withdrew his hand.
At this time, someone came in, and he interrupted the chaotic thoughts in Lu Xici's mind.
