"How long has she been dead?" Ghost Cry asked.

"I don't know. Cao Qingyun shook his head: "But it must be more than two or three days, and there is no smell on the outside, so it must be maintained by some method." ”

As he spoke, he drew his sword and stabbed it at the corpse, and suddenly, blood flowed out, and a putrid stench filled the air.

"At least seven or eight days. Looking at the pus-like black blood flowing from the wound, Cao Qingyun said with a dark face: "It's hateful, if the spell is in the body, then it still needs to be so troublesome." ”

"Wait!" Ghost Cry's eyes lit up: "There have been three county seats, three county seats, the first to die is always the county lieutenant, the first to mess up is always the squad room, the other party, why do you want to do this." ”

Cao Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and the ghost cried: "The other party is afraid of them, go to the county office, and find a way to catch the head and make a fool." ”

The headhunters never came, and they couldn't come, and some of them drank too much and fell on the side of the road, and the next day they found themselves frozen to death. Some of them were sick and were not cured. Others were sneak attacked, stabbed in the kidneys, and crossed their feet.

The head catchers of the squad died one after another, and the last one was not left, which was originally a big deal, but compared to the official master, this matter undoubtedly thought a lot about it and was covered up.

It wasn't until now that Cao Qingyun noticed it, and scolded her mother in her heart. It's really a step slow, every step is slow.

But fortunately, he usually acted inconspicuously and escaped a catastrophe. At dawn, I came here trembling all over.

......

"Husband, husband......"

The ghost cry was woken up by Nangong, he got up from the bed, shook his head vigorously, took the handkerchief in Nangong's hand, thanked him, and then rubbed his face vigorously, finally sober, put on his clothes, got out of bed, and as soon as he opened the door, he was trembling.

Hey, the room was warm, and when I opened the door, the cold wind blew, and it was really cold.

followed Nangong to the hall and bumped into Cai Wei head-on.

"Big brother ghost, are you awake?"

"Hmm. The ghost cried and nodded: "Girl, wake up so early?"

"I went to bed early last night, but the ghost brother worked hard, hurry up and eat something, and sleep again later. ”

As soon as Ghost Cry and Cai Wei sat down on their front feet, Cao Qingyun came in with a yawn on his back feet, it seemed that he hadn't slept well.

"Senior brother, senior sister, senior sister-in-law......"

Cao Qingyun was the first to say hello, and then sat down, hanging his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, and it seemed that he might close at any time.

Nangong brought the food, clear porridge, sauerkraut, and fried a few fish.

It's simple, but it tastes good.

"My sister's cooking skills have grown more and more. Cai Wei commented that she also has this qualification, compared to cooking, she is still above Nangong, but it is difficult to say in the future. Now Cai Wei's cooking skills have been delayed, and Nangong's cooking skills have grown rapidly.

"You should call your sister-in-law. Nangong said with a smile.

Cai Wei also grinned and said, "I won't, sister, sister, sister, sister, sister......"

Two women are on the edge, two men are gulping porridge, one of them is afraid to join the battlefield, and the other is guilty.

"Hey!" the ghost sighed in his heart, his brain hurting.

After the meal, the old housekeeper came with the master bookkeeper and brought some fruits, which is really rare in this winter, and it can be regarded as a bloody investment.

Openly and secretly, Cao Qingyun stammered. As a human spirit, he could naturally see that Cao Qingyun was the lowest and lowest among the several people, but those three were cross-river dragons, and Cao Qingyun was the head snake of the earth, which belonged to the current management, so it was naturally more useful to tie up Cao Qingyun.

As for the bookkeeper, he stood there stunned, looking a little more stupid than last night. Presumably, the death of his father and daughter-in-law hit him a little hard.

Finally, the housekeeper took his own son-in-law away, leaving behind the fruit.

"Finally gone. Cao Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief, and then praised the old housekeeper in a low voice: "It's a loyal one." ”

The old housekeeper came, but not for anything else, but for his own son-in-law. He has an old bone, and it's hard to say whether he can survive this winter. But once he leaves, his son-in-law is a fool, and he doesn't know when he will be killed and seize the family property. Therefore, I begged Cao Qingyun to take care of it.

A few people were about to rest, and when they came, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was a little pale, and he was tired, and he arched his hand and said, "A few adults, you have found out, please move." ”

"Good work. Cao Qingyun said.

"Where, where, not hard. He hurriedly waved his hand, but in fact, he was half tired to death.

I was woken up in the middle of the night last night, and tomorrow I walked for two quarters of an hour in the snow, and I almost didn't freeze to death outside. Then I have been busy until now, it is almost noon, not a drop of water has entered, it can be said that I am tired and hungry.

And then. The sound of the ghost crying was heard, and something flew towards the ghost.

He hurriedly caught it, and found that it was a fruit that could not be named, two fists were big, white as snow, with a fragrance, and it was fat and juicy at a glance, presumably a wild fruit somewhere.

In this world, there are many wild fruits that can be eaten, and there are countless types, and it is not uncommon to not be able to name them.

The way to tell whether there is poison or not is also very simple, just look at the monkey, the monkey can eat people, and the taste will not be bad.

"Let's fill my stomach. The ghost cried, then picked one up at random, wiped it with his sleeve, and put it in his mouth and gnawed it.

He had a heartfelt smile on his face, but he didn't eat it, but took it into his arms, planning to go back and give it to his grandson.

As mentioned earlier, fruits are not common in winter. Although there are many wild fruits, it is very dangerous for people to take these fruits in the mountains, and the price is very high.

A few people followed him to a side room, where two wooden tables were spliced together, and a bloody corpse was placed on it.

Cai Wei and Nangong's cheeks twitched, and they turned their heads, they could be regarded as having killed people and opened meat, but the bits and pieces of a table, coupled with the strong stench, were really disgusting. Cao Qingyun was even more unbearable, but after enduring it for a while, he rushed out of the door and vomited.

It's normal for them to not be able to stand it, but it doesn't prevent him, at least, there is another adult with a normal expression.

"Your Excellency, please see, this corpse is very interesting. As he spoke, he put his hand into the bloody flesh and pulled out many filaments from it.

"You're in for a treat. With excitement on his face, he picked up a filament and pulled it, and then fingered it...... I guess it's a finger!

Fingers moved.

The ghost cried softly, stepped forward, and while chewing the flesh of the fruit and observing it carefully, he suddenly found that the corpse that had been cut into pieces was very regular, not cut indiscriminately, but along some kind of vein, and this vein was really criss-crossed with filaments all over the corpse.

The ghost cried a few times and saw that the fruit in his hand was only the core, then threw away the core, took the filament in his hand, and tried it one by one.

Each one corresponds to a part.

Fingers, toes, wrists, mouth, neck......

Once you can master all the filaments, you can manipulate the corpse and make it move like a normal person.

Suddenly, Ghost Cry understood everything.

He couldn't cry or laugh, he originally found the whereabouts of the murderer, but he didn't want to, and by mistake, he found out the murderer's way of committing the crime.

"This kind of craftsmanship is really ingenious. His eyes lit up, and he praised: "These silk threads all lead to the back of the head, stretching out from under the pores close to the hair, and then, like manipulating a puppet, controls the whole person, so that outsiders can't notice anything strange at all, I really can't imagine how he and his hands look like to be able to make such a puppet, to manipulate such a complex puppet." ”
