"Selling steamed buns... Fresh meat buns..."

In the early morning, the shouting sound from the window woke up Mo Jue in cultivation.

Mo Jue listened to the faint noise coming from downstairs, stretched his waist, and then rolled over and jumped down from the window.

Like yesterday, Mo Jue slipped out the back door.

"Let's go... Don't get in the way..."

A familiar voice came, and Mo Jue turned his head to see that the old man he saw yesterday was walking with a swill.

"How can it be so coincidental..."

Mo Jue muttered and made way for the old man.

However, this time the old man did not continue to move forward, but stopped and said to Mo Jue: "Young man, I have met you here for two days in a row, and it is also fate, young people nowadays, it is rare to get up so early." ”

Except for Shen He, the first time someone from Hong Shoucheng accosted him, Mo Jue was stunned, and only reacted after a while, and replied:

"Uncle has won the prize..."

The old man smiled and asked, "I wonder where the young man is going when he gets up so early?"

The smile of this old man is very strange in Mo Jue's eyes, obviously his face is smiling, but his eyes have not changed in the slightest, if he has to describe it, it is the feeling of smiling and not smiling.

Thinking of this, Mo Jue smiled politely and said, "It's okay, it's just a newcomer, walking around." Uncle, you should be busy first, and the kid will go first. ”

The old man's sudden closeness made him feel very bad, so Mo Jue hurriedly said goodbye, it was still important to get down to business.

As the words fell, Mo Jue walked briskly towards the market.

The old man stood in place, looking at Mo Jue's departing figure, a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes.

When he couldn't see Mo Jue, the look in the old man's eyes suddenly disappeared, and the smiling expression on his face also changed to indifference, and he slowly walked forward with the swill.

At the bazaar, Mo Jue crowded into the crowd and walked in the direction of the ancestral hall.

He had already walked around the city several times yesterday, but he had never been to this ancestral hall, but he had only gone to the front and heard a chant and did not go in to investigate.

Therefore, Mo Jue concluded that there must be something wrong in this black ancestral hall.

It's also strange to say, it's only early in the morning, but the market is crowded, and Mo Jue is mixed in it, and he has only walked a short distance after walking for a long time.

The further north you go, the fewer people there are.

Soon, there were only a few pedestrians left around Mo Jue, and the black ancestral hall was also in sight.

A cool breeze blows in your face, bringing a hint of early morning breath, mixed with a hint of blood...

The smell of blood?

Ever since Dao Yuan Mountain, Mo was absolutely very sensitive to this smell, and for a while he felt that his hands were full of this smell.

How could there be a smell of blood in a place like the ancestral hall, let alone smell it from such a distance, it was by no means something that could be emitted by just a little bit.

It seems that the answer to all this can be found in this ancestral hall...

Mo Jue thought in his heart, and the speed under his feet suddenly increased a little, but he was unexpectedly stopped by a little girl who rushed out of the roadside.

The little girl's eyes were shining, as if tears would fall in the next moment, and she said pitifully to Mo Jue: "Big brother... My mother is lost, can you take me to find it..."

The answer was close at hand, and Mo Jue naturally didn't want to give up just like that, but the pitiful appearance of the little girl made him feel compassion, and he froze in place for a while, hesitating.

"Big brother, how are you doing..."

When Mo Jue hesitated, the little girl stepped forward and grabbed the corner of his clothes and continued.

"Okay, big brother will take you there. ”

Mo Jue first let out a puzzled sound, and then readily agreed.

Because he clearly saw that the little girl said two words with her mouth: go away.

Hearing Mo Jue's promise, the little girl happily pulled Mo Jue to the side, Mo Jue glanced around with the corner of his eye while walking, and suddenly found that those pedestrians had stopped, staring at Mo Jue with a pair of eyes with a cold expression.

Mo Jue didn't know that he had just been stared at by so many people, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Mo Jue was pulled all the way out of the city by the little girl, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

In that solemn atmosphere, Mo Jue's whole heart was raised, for fear that if he did something out of the ordinary, he would be swarmed by those people and pressed to the ground with a hammer.

The little girl pulled Mo Jue until she walked to a mountain forest before letting go of her hand, at this time her palms were already full of sweat, and her face was also scared.

"Big brother, do you know how dangerous you were just now?"

The little girl crossed her waist and complained to Mo Jue:

"A lot of people are like you, who entered the big room and came out as if they were a different person. ”

When Mo Jue heard this, his eyes lit up, and finally there was someone who knew the clue, so he hurriedly asked, "What else, what do you know, is it okay to tell the big brother?"

Perhaps Mo Jue was a little anxious, so frightened that the little girl retreated again and again, her eyes were full of fear, and she shouted timidly: "Big brother.."

Seeing the little girl's frightened appearance, Mo Jue didn't feel a good feeling in his heart, so he could only apologize with a smile: "I'm sorry, little sister." Scares you, right? Tell your big brother about it, okay?"

When the little girl heard Mo Jue's words, she hesitated for a while before she sat on the ground, buried her face in her lap, and said slowly:

"I've lived in this place since I was born, and the town is not far away, but my father and mother just won't let me enter the city, saying it's very dangerous."

The little girl sank into the memory, Mo Jue listened quietly on the side, and a picture took shape in his mind: a girl carved in pink raised her head and asked suspiciously...

But what Mo never expected was that the little girl kept talking about things when she was a child, no matter how big or small.

has been talking for a long time, and Mo Jue just knew that Hong Shoucheng was like this a long time ago.

But the little girl didn't seem to talk to anyone for a long time, so Mo Jue let her continue, and he couldn't find anything in the city anyway.

Just as the sun rose above the heads of the two of them, and Mo Jue was drowsy when he listened, the little girl finally said something important:

"Half a month ago, Ah Dad said he would go into the city to buy me new clothes, but he never came back. Ah my mother went to look for it, but she didn't come back, so I was left alone..."

Speaking of this, the little girl's body trembled slightly, as if she was very scared, Mo Jue stepped forward and gently hugged the little girl, comforting: "Big brother will help you get your father and mother back, don't be afraid, okay?"

"Really?"

The little girl raised her head, looked at Mo Jue and asked.

"Uh-huh, really. ”

After receiving Mo Jue's affirmative answer, the little girl paused for a while and continued:

"Daddy and Auntie didn't come back, so I found a chance to sneak into the city, only to find.... Discover..."

As she spoke, the little girl's body trembled even more, and she couldn't speak.

Mo Jue patted her head gently, and said softly, "What did you find? Big brother is here, don't be afraid." ”

Perhaps it was Mo Jue's comfort that worked, and the little girl finally spoke: "I found that the people in the city are doing the same thing every day..."

Mo Jue originally thought it was an important discovery, but he was a little disappointed, but Mo Jue still agreed, "Is it? ”

The little girl smiled when she heard Mo Jue's compliment: "Also, it's that big black room, many people have been caught in, and when they come out, they seem to be a different person." They still want to catch me, and it's a shame that I'm running fast..."

If the little girl's words were true, then the guess in Mo Jue's heart was confirmed: there was really something wrong with the ancestral hall.

Thinking of this, Mo Jue couldn't wait to return to the city immediately, go to the ancestral hall to find out, the little girl saw Mo Jue's thoughts, pulled the corner of his clothes and said, "Big brother... Don't go good or bad... I'm afraid..."

Mo Jue looked at the little girl's face, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly and agreed.

"Yay, that's great!"

In the past, in Yangliu Town, Mo Jue had heard someone say that children's emotions were like the weather, cloudy and uncertain.

He believed it now, the little girl looked pitiful just now, and in the blink of an eye she was elated...

At dusk, Mo Jue sat bored in the inn, holding the little girl in his arms, looking helpless.

I was going to deal with it, but the little girl was tired of playing and naturally let him go, but who knew that it hadn't been done until now.

The little girl even fell asleep, clutching Mo Jue's clothes, as if she was afraid that he would run away.

Seeing that it was almost dark, Mo Jue could only carry her back to the inn.

Qin Dang and Xu Xia looked at Mo Jue with a look of surprise on the side, but they didn't expect the latter to go out and bring back a little girl.

When the two of them saw Mo Jue, their attitudes were surprisingly consistent, and they both asked Mo Jue: Where did you come from, little girl?

For this reason, Mo Jue attracted several white eyes, if it wasn't for the little girl still in his arms, it is estimated that he would have done it directly.

"Where is Shen He?"

When Mo Jue walked into the inn, he found that Shen He, who was supposed to count the bills at the counter at this time, was gone, and the shopkeeper was nowhere to be seen, and there was only Qin Dang and Xu Xia, who had not been seen for a long time, in the lobby.

When Xu Xia heard this, he shook his head and said that he didn't know, but Qin Dang said: "I don't know, in the afternoon, he told me that he had something to go out, and then he went out with the shopkeeper, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

Mo Jue frowned, there must be a demon when something goes wrong, but he can't figure out where Shen He went, and he hasn't come back for so long.

Thinking about it, Mo Jue sighed slightly, and said to Xu Xia: "Xu Xia, this little girl will be handed over to you to take care of, I am both men, it is inconvenient." ”

"Oh, okay. ”

Xu Xia answered, took the little girl from Mo Jue's hand, and walked upstairs.

After successfully supporting Xu Xia, Qin Dang approached Mo Jue and asked softly, "Mo Jue, did you find something?"

Mo Jue nodded, picked out some key points of the little girl's words and said them to Qin Dang.
