Chapter 49: The Body in the Box

Da Da Da ......

The three of them went up to the second floor under the leadership of Xiao Er, don't look at this post station is a little remote, but it is not small. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mo Bai counted, there were about twenty guest rooms alone, which was almost comparable to some smaller inns.

"Little brother, your post station is really not small!" Mo Bai quipped, he stared carefully at Xiao Er's reaction, as if there was something unknown in it.

The guest officer laughed, Cangzhou is one of the most important cities in the south, and this road is the only official road to Cangzhou, so business is naturally better. Xiao Er said.

When Jing Han heard this, she felt that something was wrong, and she frowned. Mo Bai smiled at her, and then stretched his brows.

"Is there no path to Cangzhou?"

What the girl said was that there were good paths, but there were correspondingly green forest guests, so most of the people didn't take the paths. Although the path can be much closer, where is the official road spacious, and no one wants to deal with that group of green forest guests!" Xiao Er also smiled, and when he mentioned the green forest guests, a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Eh, I don't know what a few guest officers do?

"Oh, a few of us are Jianghu Lang who are hanging pots to help the world, this time we are going to Cangzhou to visit an old friend" Mo Bai said, you can't tell others that you are Xianmen disciples.

"Jianghu Langzhong?" Xiao Er's eyes narrowed slightly, giving people an indescribable feeling.

"Guest officer, it's here!" Xiao Er stopped in front of the door of a room.

A total of three rooms were opened, Mo Bai lived in the middle, Jinghan was on the left, and Lin Miaomiao was on the right.

Push open the door, and the furnishings inside are also very simple. A bed, a table and four benches.

Mo Bai took off his sword, placed it on the table, and began to look at the room.

As the saying goes, it is indispensable to guard against people, Mo Bai set up a 'evil array' in the house and walked out of the door.

Mo Bai gently pushed open Jing Han's door, a glimmer of light flashed in the air, and then a sharp sword appeared on Mo Bai's neck.

"Don't get excited, it's me!" Mo Bai raised his hand, looking innocent.

Jing Han put away her sword and helped Mo Bai check the wound, although she had stopped at the last moment, there was still a shallow blood mark on Mo Bai's neck.

"Hmph, unlucky, who let you enter someone's house without knocking!" Jing Han slapped Mo Baiyan fiercely.

"Don't make a fuss, I was kind enough to come over to help you take a look, who would have thought that you would kill me!" Mo Bai quipped.

Then he stood up and walked around the room.

I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, and then I opened the window, and the strangest part was here.

The sunlight outside doesn't even shine in!

"It's really strange, there's obviously nothing to cover outside, why is there no sunlight?" Mo Bai wondered.

"It's not clear, it's better to be careful, after all, the rivers and lakes are sinister"

"By the way, Mo Bai, what do you think of that little er?" Jing Han suddenly asked.

"Hehe, if my guess is correct, he should be a bandit on the nearby hills!" Mo Bai smiled.

"You see that, too?"

"Yes, there is too much inconsistency in his words! This is the main road in Cangzhou, and the business will naturally not be bad, so what reason does the boss have for him to run? Moreover, the post station is different from the inn, the inn is privately opened, and the post station is a subordinate organization of the government. The boss of the post station is equivalent to half of the official government, he takes the emperor's money, even if the post station is making money every day, it has nothing to do with him, even if the post station can't even find a home, it has nothing to do with him. Mo Bai said.

"Wouldn't it be dangerous for us to say that, then?" Jing Han said.

"That's not true, if it's just a green forester, even a Lin Miaomiao can easily settle it, but he always gives me a feeling that it's not so simple. Mo Bai frowned, always feeling that something bad would happen.

Dada-da

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

"Knock knock, knock knock" followed by a rapid knock on the door.

"Heavenly King Cover Earth Tiger!" Mo Bai said casually.

"Chicken stewed mushrooms!" Lin Miaomiao's voice came from outside, and Jing Han hurriedly opened the door after hearing it. This is the code of the three of them, people are in the middle of the rivers and lakes, and everything has to be careful.

As soon as he opened the door, he really scared Jinghan and the others. Lin Miaomiao's face was pale, her face was bloodless, and her body collapsed straight into Jinghan's arms.

Jing Han hurriedly carried her to the bed, and Lin Miaomiao's face was weak.

Mo Bai checked her pulse, and there was no big problem.

"Frightened," Mo Bai said lightly.

Lin Miaomiao nodded weakly, with a frightened expression on her face.

"What's the matter, what scares you like this?" Jing Han said in surprise, after such a long period of contact. Jing Han is already familiar with the character of this 'Miao Miao Sister', this master who is not afraid of heaven and earth is actually scared like this by something.

If this is transmitted back to Taixuan, I am afraid that those new disciples will be able to laugh off their big teeth, and they are not less bullied by Lin Miaomiao on weekdays.

Mo Bai gave her some more true qi, and Lin Miaomiao's face slowly appeared bloody.

"How's it going?" Jinghan asked.

"Well, it's much better" Lin Miaomiao forced a smile, it seemed that the eldest sister in the sky and the second in the earth was back.

"Let's take a look?" Mo Bai suggested.

Lin Miaomiao was a little hesitant, maybe she was really scared.

"Let's go, if you are left alone here, you will definitely be afraid, and besides, with me and Mo Bai, what are you afraid of?" Jing Han said.

Just in case, Mo Bai took out his sword.

The three of them came to Lin Miaomiao's room.

Lin Miaomiao's room is in the easternmost part, and the world is dominated by the east, which means that Lin Miaomiao's room is the best among all the rooms.

But it is true that her room configuration is better than Mo Bai's.

It is worth mentioning that there is still sandalwood lit in Lin Miaomiao's room.

The whole room is filled with this scent.

"It's so fragrant!" Mo Bai sniffed lightly.

"Hmm," Lin Miaomiao said in the same way.

But Jing Han had a solemn face, because she not only smelled sandalwood, but also the rancid smell of corpses!

"Where's that thing?" Mo Bai said.

Lin Miaomiao pointed to the large box on the ground on the side, a mahogany box about the size of a bed.

It is even inlaid with jewels, and it looks extravagant.

"How can there be such a thing in a post station?" Mo Bai wondered.

"What's inside?" Mo Bai asked

"Corpses!"

Before Lin Miaomiao could speak, Jing Han replied first.

She was born in the fox clan, and her sense of smell was not comparable to theirs.

Mo Bai only smelled the sandalwood in the air, but he didn't know what kind of rancid smell was hidden under the sandalwood wrapping.

"Well, it's a corpse, it's still rotting! It's scary, it's scary!" Lin Miaomiao was still a little scared when she recalled the things inside, it was indeed too scary.

Mo Bai drew his sword and gently lifted the lid of the box, and the stench almost made the three of them vomit.

Inside lay the body of a man, who looked to have been dead for a long time.

Now the weather is also hot, and the corpse is already decomposed. I can't make out my face at all.

I can only vaguely see that it is a young man.

"Hurry up and close it!" stinks, stinks!" said the second girl, pinching her nose.

Mo Bai was also smoked by the smell, and quickly closed the lid of the box.

"I've been dead for almost half a month," Mo Bai said.

The air also smelled of corpses, and the smell was unpleasant.

"Did you see any doorways?" asked Jing Han.

"Hehe, we guessed right, that person is a robber from a nearby mountain. "If it was a guess just now, now Mo Bai can be completely sure.

Jing Han didn't ask, since Mo Bai said this, there must be a reason for him.

The reason was actually very simple, Mo Bai noticed that the clothes that the corpse was wearing were exactly the same as the ones that Xiao Er was wearing just now.

Coupled with the various flaws exposed by Xiao Er before, Mo Bai can be sure that it was the 'Xiao Er' just now who killed the original Xiao Er.

"Then what should I do now? Do you want Sister Miaomiao to go out and do him!" Lin Miaomiao made a movement to wipe her neck, which made the two of them embarrassed.

"Sister Miaomiao, let us save some snacks! now is not the time to kill him!" Mo Bai said with a smile.

"Well, the first thing to do is to find the boss here," Jing Han said.

Mo Bai smiled, "I've been with me for a long time, and I'll really get smarter."

Jing Han said that he didn't want to pay attention to him.

Knock knock knock

There was another sound of even footsteps outside the door, and the little two came in with a saucer just now.

On the plate were some fruits that they couldn't name.

"A few guest officers are here, so you don't have to run around with a small one. A few of you hurry up and taste it, this is a specialty of Cangzhou!" Xiao Er said politely.

The three of them didn't refuse, anyway, Mo Bai was here. If he dared to poison him, or do something unfavorable to the three of them, Mo Bai would directly send him a heart-to-heart cold.

"What kind of fruit is this, it's so sweet!" Lin Miaomiao tasted one and felt that it tasted good.

"This is a specialty of Cangzhou, vine fruit, which is a fruit borne on a vine tree. When it is not mature, it is highly toxic, it can be said that it seals the throat with blood, but after maturity, the toxicity disappears, and the taste is extremely sweet!" Xiao Er explained.

"Yes, in the early years, when I traveled with my master, I also went to Cangzhou, and I even tasted this thing at that time" Mo Bai also picked up a vine fruit and ate it unhurriedly.

"By the way, do you know how far away is Parrot Song Town?" Jing Han asked suddenly.

"Why are you asking this?" Xiao Er's expression was a little distorted, and he looked reluctant.

"Because the three of us are in the middle of the rivers and lakes!" Lin Miaomiao wiped her mouth and said.

"I almost forgot about it! Thirty miles south of here is the town of Parrot, but it is said that there has recently been an outbreak of a plague. I can't believe you would dare to go there!" Xiao Er said.

"Because we were supposed to save people!" Mo Bai said.

"Hey, I don't know how many Lang Zhong have been infected with the plague after arriving there! Although not a single one has died, every day is extremely painful, and life is worse than death!"
