Old man Li smiled and came over with a piece of skin, sat down on the kang, and said proudly: "Take a look, take a look, it's good." ”

Chu Xunyu took a look, and it was really not an ordinary product, although it was nothing in the cultivation realm, but in the mortal market, it would definitely be able to sell for a good price, so he stretched out his hand and gestured: "One or two silver." ”

"Okay!" Old man Li was even more happy, "Sure enough, he is a connoisseur of knowledge, the young man is not very old, he is indeed a good hand, and I sold it." ”

Chu Xunyu directly paid the bill, and then asked, "Old man, what other good things are there?" ”

"Okay, you wait. Lao Li Tou hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice, "Old woman, quickly, quickly, quickly, take it out." ”

"Here we are. The old lady dragged a large string of mountain goods into the door, put them on the ground casually, rubbed her hands and smiled, "Look at everything, look at everything." ”

Chu Xunyu bent down and picked and chosen, there were still a few good herbs and furs, and they all bought them together, and the old Li couldn't close his mouth, at this time Chu Xunyu straightened up and nodded: "Old man, that's all." ”

Lao Li touched the silver, his face was full of red light, and he shook his hand proudly: "You still know the goods, in this way, let's make two cups, and we are walking after drinking." ”

"That's okay. Chu Xunyu pretended to look embarrassed, "There are other goods, we have to go and take a look." ”

"It's okay, listen to me. Lao Li waved his hand, "Old woman, it's noon for a few dishes, and I have two cups with a few little brothers." ”

"Uncle, don't, we have to go to someone else's house. Moon watching Xiaosheng also pretended to be embarrassed and echoed Chu Xunyu.

"What are you afraid of? Old Li Tou glared, "My surname is Li, and my son is the village chief!"

"Alright, alright. Mu Yuan couldn't see him like this the most, "I know your surname is Li, and your son is the village chief." ”

"That's it, we're not afraid, when the time comes, I'll let people tell the whole village, just say that if you want to change things, don't you come here to find you, and it's more troublesome." The old woman brought the wine and food, and Lao Li Tou took a sip and began to have the strength of wine.

Chu Xunyu made a look, Guanyue Xiaosheng and Wangchen sat up and drank with Lao Li Tou, Mu Yuan and Mei Wan sat on the side and ate some dried fruits, after three rounds of wine, Lao Li Tou's face was red, and he gestured with everyone with a big tongue, saying some short trivial things in the family, Mei Wan, as the eldest lady, naturally couldn't stand such a scene, so she gave Chu Xunyu a look again and again, hoping that he would hurry up and get down to business. Chu Xunyu saw it in his eyes, and naturally understood it in his heart, so he asked tentatively: "Uncle, do you usually have many merchants from the Central Plains?"

"That's a lot, why not much. Lao Li stammered, "It depends on what season it is, there are many summers and summers, and there are few people in winter, wax moon, and wax moon, hey, we all know that we are cold this day, and we don't want to come in winter." ”

"Oh, let's come this time?" Chu Xunyu asked with a casual look.

"Oh, yes, yes, it's you. Lao Li Tou was stunned, and then snorted.

"Grandpa, isn't there anyone else coming?" the little girl interjected very innocently on the side.

"Nonsense, unlucky child, you talk a lot!" Lao Li Tou's bull's eyes rolled, and then he murdered the female doll, so that the child didn't dare to speak out anymore, and when he turned around, he found that Chu Xunyu was staring at him, and he couldn't help but laugh wryly, "It's not that I don't tell you, no one is coming, no one is coming." ”

Guanyue Xiaosheng rolled his eyes and climbed up the pole: "Hey, uncle, what are you afraid of, we are also regular customers who go south and north, and it is not a big deal if something happens, just talk about it, listen to it as a joke, we have also done some ** business, if you really poke the basket, we will not report to the official." ”

These words relieved Lao Li Tou a lot, but he still looked distressed: "It's not that I'm ruthless, I really don't do my business, that girl has nothing to do with me, it doesn't matter." ”

Mu Yuan also learned to talk nonsense at this time, pressed all his thoughts in his heart, and pretended to be interested and asked, "Uncle, what's the matter, tell me." ”

"Hi...... What do you say, this thing is evil. Lao Li Tou chewed a peanut, and then said slowly, "Some time ago, there was a girl from the Central Plains who came here, I guess it should be in the middle of the night, why?" Because we all saw him the next morning, we saw ah, she was standing in the south of the village, the old king and his whole family's corpse, the body was full of blood, that look, old scary, and then we chased it, but the girl ran fast, as soon as she turned around, she disappeared, we didn't chase it, this matter, we wanted to report to the official at first, but then I thought about it, what if this girl is a ruthless Jiangyang thief? She must have been a ruthless character that day, we reported to the official on the front foot, and she would definitely come to us to settle accounts on the back foot, so we discussed it privately, and buried the old king's family in the mass grave in the west, and were not allowed to tell others, so as not to make a big fuss. ”

"Nonsense! She's not a Jiangyang thief!" Mu Yuan couldn't help but scream.

"Huh, how do you know?" Old Li Tou looked at Mu Yuan strangely with an excited expression.

"Oh, no, no, he drank too much. Chu Xunyu hurriedly played a round, fortunately, Lao Li Tou also drank too much, and he didn't care if Mu Yuan really drank wine, "Uncle, let me ask you, did that girl bring anything with her?"

"Something?"

"yes, piano or something?"

"Then I don't know, I ran too fast to see clearly. ”

"Oh......" There is a lot of article in this passage, and the five people are secretly speculating in their hearts, whether this woman is Shang Qian or not, and now there is a question mark, Shang Qian is a disciple of the Legalist family after all, how could a simple-hearted little girl do something to kill mortals? You must know that the local wizards don't care about killing mortals here, especially if they haven't seen clearly, whether that person is carrying a piano or not, this matter is even more strange.

Seeing that it was not too early, Chu Xunyu asked, "Uncle, is there an inn near here?" ”

"Inn? Yes, yes, in the east, in the east of the village, Lao Zhang's family, usually there are more merchants, they will let the empty house out, as the inn to earn a few small money, if no one comes in winter, it will be idle there, you go and ask, it should still be able to live." ”

After listening to Lao Li Tou, he had a plan in his heart, so after saying goodbye to Lao Li Tou, he went out directly to inquire about the method of going to the inn, and received a lot of mountain goods along the way, Mu Yuan's luck was really good, and he received a mink, but he asked him five taels of silver, and his heart was painful to death.

It was easy to inquire about the old Wang family in Dongtou, and knocked directly on the door to enter the house, the person who came was an old man with sawdust on his hands, and a son, it is estimated that they are the Wang family, as soon as they said the meaning, sure enough, they smiled and welcomed Chu Xunyu and the five people in, you know, there are too few merchants who come this winter, and there are not many opportunities to make money.

Chu Xunyu They picked two adjacent houses and told the old king, saying that they didn't stop all the way, they were very tired, and they wanted to sleep for a while, and no one was allowed to disturb them. After the old king left, the five of them didn't say a word, and directly pinched a stealth trick and flew straight to the mass grave in the west.

It's dusk now, and every household is busy cooking, so there are almost no others in the mass grave, and the five of them lowered their bodies and looked around, a pile of rubble, and the spreading corpse gas, this should be the place to bury people. Carefully observing the ground and seeing that there was a newly filled soil not far away, Mu Yuan was anxious, and raised his hand to make a soil word trick, which stretched the soil out of it, and the five of them were all taken aback when they saw it.

There were several coffins in front of him, but they were obviously not newly dead, there were rotting internal organs and bones mixed everywhere, and a stream of deposition of corpse gas went straight into the nostrils, it stands to reason that people who have just died will not be like this, especially those who have just died for a few days, the body should not rot.

"Is there a mistake?" Guanyue Xiaosheng was stunned.

"Impossible. Chu Xunyu looked up, "Only this place here is new soil, and there is no trace of groundbreaking in the rest." ”

"What do you say?" Mu Yuan pinched his nose and checked it slightly, "Obviously, it's the Legalist exercises, that person must be Senior Sister Shang Qian, should we chase it or what should we do?"

"Don't worry, it's not right. Chu Xunyu lowered his head and muttered for a while, "The situation is very strange, but it stands to reason that Senior Sister Shang Qian should not be out of danger yet, but she just doesn't know where to escape, and these corpses are also very weird, we are blindly chasing after it now, this place is so big, where to find it?" So we still press our patience and wait for two days to see if Senior Sister Shang Qian will come back, or if there is any new news." ”

It makes sense for everyone to think about it, so blindly chasing it, I don't know where Shang Qian ran to, and something must have happened here, otherwise Shang Qian would not have made such a strange move, so it would be better to stay for a day or two to figure out the beginning and end of the matter, and then it will be better to prescribe the right medicine.

The five of them quietly returned to the farmhouse inn of Lao Wang's family, rested in the room for a while, and discussed what to do next by the way, Guanyue Xiaosheng put forward a more realistic idea: "Everyone, is it possible to have something to do with the Spirit Sect? This is the territory of the Spirit Sect, and it is under their mountain gate, is it possible that Senior Sister Shang Qian was bewitched by them?"

"Although what you say is practical, I don't think it's very likely. Chu Xunyu shook his head, "Because Senior Sister Shang Qian has the mark of this Legalist, although the Spirit Sect is weird, but it is not enough to take the initiative to provoke the Legalist, think about it, they are just low-key and obscure, and they have never taken the initiative to provoke right and wrong, so they may have a relationship, but it is impossible to harm Senior Sister Shang Qian." ”

"The main thing now is the corpses. Mei Wan hit the nail on the head, "Sister Shang Qian's can't kill mortals, it's for sure, and the way those corpses died was weird, there must be a mystery in this." ”

"Don't you think there's something missing in this village?" Wangchen, who had been quiet all the time, suddenly asked this question.

"What's missing?" the crowd was momentarily confused.

"Not bad. Wangchen nodded, his expression was also serious, "We've been here for most of the day, and it's almost night, but as a result, I haven't seen a single animal except people." ”

"That's right!" everyone suddenly realized that there should be animals in the farmhouse, especially in the countryside, there must be cattle for farming, there must be domestic dogs for vigil, roosters will crow, rats and cats will be raised, and these farmhouses must have no animals, except for people, or people......

Outside the window, the sunset slowly sets, and the night slowly falls in the village, and the black night always seems to be so unpeaceful......
