When a person makes a promise, it often means that he can't do it yet.

Xia Ming knew it herself, and Xue knew it, but she was very happy, she said, "Stupid, I will protect you, I am better than you." ”

She only dared to say this with a water mask, she had already blushed. They snuggled up to each other, and the cold night became warm and gentle.

A sigh in the darkness woke them up.

Someone in the darkness said, "If you continue to hug and hug like this, the person you are looking for will have already stopped eating." ”

Xia Ming and Xue were stunned, and a cold light shot out of the darkness, and Snow shot it down, it was a dagger. The man wandered through the darkness and disappeared towards a building in the distance.

They chased in the direction of the man, and at the end of it was the point marked by the ninety-nine.

It was an ordinary house, with a double storey and a sloping roof, the same as the one around it, but it seemed to be smaller and older than it, and the word "Green" was actually written on the door number.

This old, old house turned out to be Green's home.

"This is something left over from our ancestors, of course old and old," Xue said. ”

It was so quiet inside that they all felt a little uneasy.

"That guy was helping us just now?"

Xue said, "It's a pity that we are still late, and there is no sound of heartbeat inside." ”

Xia Ming asked, "Can you hear me?"

Xue nodded, but not because she heard, "You're disappointed, you know I'm deliberately delaying time." ”

Xia Ming shook his head, "Even if we don't do this, we won't be able to catch up." But who was that guy just now? Did he see us come out, or did we get recognized? ”

Snow said: "These people have infiltrated every place, hunters, knights, royal palaces, apostles, there are their shadows. ”

Xia Ming said: "You already knew. ”

"I knew it early on, when I was a kid," Snow said. ”

Xia Ming said: "It seems that even your family can't do anything about them, so isn't the layout of the territory in danger." ”

"You should be grateful to them, because without them, the Hunter Academy would be even more impossible," Snow said. ”

Xia Ming said: "This is also the case, but they are not good at developing and growing, and creating panic everywhere is not playing with fire and self-immolation, once they are found out, their fate will definitely be miserable." ”

Xue said: "The rumor of 'night' is not new now, and it has been found out a long time ago. The reason why the royal palace would focus on this matter was because their holy artifact mimicry was lost, and without that thing, they would never dare to step out of the wall. ”

"So you must bring this thing back, although the hunter doesn't know how to use it yet, but it's safer to take it with you. ”

"Are you two going to come in and sit down?"

The door opened, and Green stood at the mouth of the wood, like a ghost.

The pungent blood qi rushed to his face, and Xia Ming took a step back with a pale face.

"Forget it, let's not come in. Green said, too, was pale. After blocking the door, he handed them something he was holding in a piece of paper, "Give me something when the ghost doctor dies, and you can open it when you're sure no one is following." ”

"I'll be sent to Sanan's court and sentenced to death, so you'd better get out of here as soon as possible. He said.

When Green turned around, he suddenly remembered something, and said again, "That record of the master should be carefully pondered." ”

With that, he closed the door, and there was silence as if nothing had happened.

Xia Ming pinched the contents of the paper, hard and cold, like a piece of metal. He glanced at the snow, and she shook her head and told him not to open it.

A cold wind blew, and the snow fell even harder. The noise of the street in the distance gradually became weaker, and someone shouted, "This damn Sanan, it hasn't snowed in hundreds of years." I don't know if he was excited or unhappy, the shirtless man had to put on a coat, he said: "What is the snow, it's not bad if the ice doesn't fall, otherwise your head would have been smashed through.."

Under the street lamp, a strange-looking gray bird was slowly flapping its wings and flying towards Xia Ming. He was shocked, it was his puppet that was somehow related to him, and it came to indicate that the person looking for him had also arrived.

When he turned around, he saw that the snow was long gone.

Two figures walked out from the corner of the street, one uncle and the other elegant, respectively the first master and the second master. The puppet ended up on his shoulder.

"What are you doing standing here?" asked Mu Shiyu.

Xia Ming said: "Of course I am looking for the murderer." ”

"Did you find it?"

Xia Ming pointed to the house behind him, and said with some disdain: "You are still the first master and the second master, and you can lose it if you chase someone." ”

Nai Yue Qianjiu pursed her lips and smiled, and Mu Siyu said, "Young man, you are very swollen, are your bones itchy? And what are you doing with a cat?"

"Where's the cat? Excuse me—it's a fox. He took off his mask and put it in his arms.

"This is Chief Green's mansion?" Mu Siyu asked, looking at the name on the door plate.

"Yes, Chief Green has provided me with a lot of help, and by the time you have arrived, the meal will be ready. ”

Mu Shiyu didn't know why Xia Ming was so swollen tonight, and every word she said was so bad, but she still asked patiently, "Then what important clues did you get?"

Xia Ming said: "Go back and say, did you ask something?" ”

Mu Shiyu frowned and took him away directly.

Natsuki Qianjiu was shocked to see it, this posture was like carrying a pig to be slaughtered.

In the secluded wooden house, several people sat at the table, just one person on one side.

Xia Ming spread the copied records on the table.

Tian Hai held the cheap candle in his hand, the candle grease melted and dripped on the back of his hand without noticing, and he praised vigorously: "Good guy, this thing is copied, this thing is more difficult to copy than to steal it directly, how did you get it." ”

Xia Ming said: "This is indeed a secret copy of Mr. Green, they say that people who kill at night, the body will disappear for a few days, and then it will return to its original position, only the stump remains." That's what's left of Grien. ”

"I spent a few days at Green's Ranch and they didn't have a single farmer there. That's why, it's so weird and cruel. No one knows how the corpse went back, so the rumor says that the corpse went back on its own, isn't this to scare itself?"

"I've heard of a method of refining puppets. "The ghost army at that time was made up entirely of walking dead, similar to the corpses we met last night. ”

"They want these corpses to be made into puppets?"

"Not really. Natsuki said. "Refining a puppet can be done directly with poison. ”

"What did that kid say?"

"The boy said that they called their eldest 'Lord of the Shadows,' and that he had met a stranger, and that he had no memory of what had happened after that, and that when he woke up his face was in pain, and when he touched it with his hand, he found that it was all blood, and then someone rushed in and tied him to the fire. ”

"'Lord Ghost'?" Xia Ming said in a daze, "Such a resounding name." ”

Everyone was speechless. It's called horror, it's not loud.

"Don't you suspect that this name is fake?" Xia Ming asked suddenly.

Everyone was stunned, and Tian Haiyi said, "I really think it's a bit fake when you say that." He said, "What a loud name, you can remember it once you pronounce it." ”

Xia Ming said: "You attribute the matter to the ghost, I don't know what the ghost is, but maybe someone really wants to borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul." I thought someone was trying to blame the ghost, but what I got was that the ghost was already dead, and the blame was just a cover. ”

"I don't know if you feel this way, do you feel like you're being watched along the way?"

Tian Haiyi said: "If it weren't for this, do you think we have a chance to cooperate?"

"Anyway, be careful, they all have eyes in front of us. "And I can even doubt that everyone here."

Xia Ming pointed to the three of them, and did not shy away from it.

It was a short-lived collaboration, and they both knew that their collaboration could only end in the unknown. Once the information is shared, it is necessary to return to their respective teams, which may be discovered over time. It's not that knights and hunters will be carried to the fire frame if they cooperate, but since it is a secret cooperation, of course, it must be kept absolutely secret. Information can be shared after you go back, but you must not betray the other party.

Xia Ming returned to the farmer's wooden house in the ranch, and there was still the fire, Xia Ming was stunned, Lan Te hadn't slept yet? Walking further, Xia Ming smelled the fragrance wafting from inside.

Xia Ming ran in, only to find Rand roasting sweet potatoes, and a cup of hot milk on the table, using local ingredients. Thinking of eating a late-night snack with roasted sweet potatoes and milk on a cold night, how nice it would be to be like this all the time?

"Boss, come in and sit down. Rand smiled, not forgetting to swallow what was in his mouth, "It's your own home." ”

Xia Ming also sat down and gathered around the fire.

Such a lazy farmer is estimated to be driven away by the owner's family the next day.

The next day, as the sun warmed up, and while the sheep were grazing, Yudo came running and told him that the Facitral had arrested Green, and that he was the murderer of his mother. In addition, they will also move away, planning to sell the fields here, go to Qiushan to buy a new piece of land, and start a new life.

Qiu Shan is the gathering place of the Qiu Tu clan, You Duo came to ask him, and Xia Ming only vaguely coped with a few words.

A few days later, Xia Ming and his entourage happened to meet the seniors who were selling matches on the street corner, they were wrapped in black coats, their faces were covered with dust, and their beautiful hair was also knotted, and they were more beggars than beggars. Thankfully, these two are still alive.

There were still a few days before the arrival of the academy train, so there were seven or eight more beggars on Sanan's side. It is strange to say that these beggars do not accept coins of high denomination for them, but instead recognize the kind of coins that are about to be eliminated and are printed with the image of the goddess. Where to find it in these years, love or not.

On this day, Xia Ming met a bad old man, who seemed to be a storyteller, and he squatted in front of a noodle restaurant to trick children into eating candy.

The old man told an old-fashioned story: "Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess... She was captured by the dragon."

The children then said, "The valiant prince went to save the princess and went to the cave to defeat the dragon." ”

The old man rubbed his beard, thinking that these children were too clever and difficult to deceive, so he was about to slap his ass and leave, but was pulled by these naughty boys, "Give sugar to sugar, don't give sugar and don't leave." ”

Seeing that Xia Ming almost didn't squirt out the noodles in his mouth.

The old man was helpless, squatted down again, and said, "This story is not like this. ”

He said, "The prince defeated the dragon, but the prince did not come out and did not take the princess. ”

The child said, "Why?"

The old man said, "Because the prince saw the gold and jewels shining on the earth, and the beautiful princess, he was moved by his selfish thoughts, and the prince grew scales and wings, and became a dragon! ”

The child was suddenly silent.

The old man stretched out his dry hand and said, "So children can't be too selfish, selfishness is the devil, you give sugar!"

The children scattered.

Xia Ming invited the old man to come and sit down and invited him to drink a bowl of soup.

He asked the old man, "Why did the prince become a dragon?"

The old man smiled and said, "The prince is a human being, how can he become an evil dragon, that is just a means to deceive children." ”

Xia Ming thought that the prince would indeed not become an evil dragon, but there was no difference between what the prince was greedy for and what the evil dragon was greedy for.
