It turned out that Pingping was the granddaughter adopted by Mrs. Nie, and although she was not related by blood, she still belonged to the descendants of the Nie family.

Mu Chen thought about it, maybe Pingping's death was precisely because of her identity. In this way, Mu Chen's previous thoughts make sense. Yin Qi is specially coming towards the descendants of the Nie family and the children of the Nie family. And Pingping may just be Nie Yang'er's substitute ghost.

Vaguely, Mu Chen felt that this matter was not simply yin and evil entering the body. Could it be that the Nie family has provoked a big evil and has always refused to let them go?

"Did you suddenly find anything about Pingping?" asked Old Lady Nie.

"Oh, not yet. Mu Chen continued to reply, "I think I might be able to know something from Pingping." Can you tell me where Pinkie was killed? I want to see it. ”

Old Lady Nie nodded and said to Mu Chen, "Let Yang'er take you there." I'm old, and I'm afraid that when I get there, I will remember what Pinkie looked like that day. ”

The old lady Nie turned her back with a gloomy expression, knelt on the futon in the ancestral hall and continued to chant for the dead Nie family.

Mu Chen gently withdrew from the ancestral hall, for fear of disturbing Old Lady Nie.

When Mu Chen found Nie Yang'er, she was following Wuyu in the yard to dry herbs.

These Chinese medicinal materials are all prescribed by Wuyu to Nie Yang'er to remove yin qi and replenish yang qi. But it's not a big tonic, it's just ordinary wolfberries and other things.

Nie Yang'er was very interested in these herbs, and Fei pulled Wuyu to give her a detailed introduction to the various functional uses and matching methods. Wuyu is like a curious little sister around him.

After Mu Chen explained his intentions, Nie Yang'er was suddenly depressed because she heard Sister Pingping's name. Thinking of Sister Pingping's misfortune, Nie Yang'er, who was already easily sentimental, had wet eyes again.

"Although we are not related by blood, Sister Pingping has always taken care of me as my own sister. Since I was a child, she let me do everything, she was the first to rush out to protect me when she was in danger, and when she made a mistake and was punished by her grandmother, my sister would also be by my side and punished with me. But I didn't expect my sister to ......"

Nie Yang'er was uncomfortable for a while, but she still quickly adjusted her emotions, the matter was related to the entire Nie family, Nie Yang'er naturally agreed to Mu Chen and took him to find Pingping's place.

Wuyu happened to be here, so he also followed.

The place where Pinkie is found is a deserted suburb, not far from the ancient buildings.

This suburb was originally planned to build new antique houses, and the houses in the suburbs were pushed to the ground as a result. But then, for unknown reasons, the project stopped, and the area became a wasteland, and no one ever visited.

"After Pingping's sister disappeared, we didn't think of coming here to look for her at first, but after a day of searching, we came here to find my sister. ”

"If we had found this place earlier, my sister might not have died, and we would have been able to revive her, right?"

Nie Yang'er's tone was full of self-blame, and there were two crystal tears hanging from the corners of her drooping eyes.

"Don't be sad, your sister doesn't want to see you like this because of her. Wouldn't it be better if we found a clue and gave your sister the truth?" Wu Yu comforted.

"Hmm. Ahem!ahem!ahem!"

Nie Yang'er listened to Wuyu's words and obediently wiped away her tears. But I was blown by the cold wind of winter and coughed, and my tears came out.

Seeing this, Wu Yu took off his coat and draped it on Nie Yang'er.

"Thank you, Brother Wuyu. ”

"Little things, no thanks. ”

Nie Yang'er took Mu Chen and Wuyu to the wasteland. As far as the eye can see, it is overgrown with weeds, scattered with broken walls, and the white ash wind blows dust everywhere.

"This is where my sister was found. Nie Yang'er pointed to the shallow pit in front of him and said.

The shallow pit is covered with weeds, and it is difficult for people to spot it without approaching it.

Wuyu observed the surroundings of the shallow pit, and asked Nie Yang'er suspiciously, "Didn't she have blood all over her body when you found Pingping, why is there no blood here at all?"

"Maybe it rained, and it washed the blood away. Mu Chen replied first, and when he turned around, he suddenly thought of something, and said to Wuyu: "If Bai Chen is here, he will definitely be able to smell the smell of blood." ”

Bai Chen is a 10,000-year-old zombie, and although he suppresses himself from drinking blood, he is still very sensitive to the taste of blood. Even if this place was washed by rain, Mu Chen believed that Bai Chen would still be able to smell it.

It is important that Pinkie accidentally fell into the pit or was thrown down.

Thinking of this, Mu Chen jumped directly into the shallow pit and carefully inspected the weeds on the edge of the pit.

Finally, after picking up a pile of overgrown weeds, Mu Chen found a blade of grass stained with red blood inside them.

Mu Chen tore off the blade of grass and sniffed the blood on it, one thing he was sure of was that it was human blood. As for who it is, everyone immediately thinks that it is Pingping's, but it is not certain based on speculation.

Mu Chen put the blade of grass in his bag, preparing to take it back and use the instrument to test the genes in the blood, so as to check whose blood it was.

Next, Mu Chen didn't find anything else around the wasteland. The sky gradually darkened, and although Mu Chen was a little disappointed in his heart, he still went home.

When I returned to Nie's house, it was just in time for dinner. According to the rules of the Nie family, the three meals a day are strictly controlled and eaten in full accordance with the rules set by the ancestors.

Mu Chen went back to see Yao Si first, and saw that although she didn't wake up, she was in good condition, and her breathing sound changed from rapid to much calmer. Mu Chen also sat down in the living room with confidence.

"Why are there rules everywhere, even having to eat so carefully!" "Breaking away complained to Mu Chen in a low voice.

It's only been two days since I came here, and I have heard countless different Nie family rules.

The rules of the Nie family start from the birth of the Nie family or as soon as they marry into the Nie family, and everyone must remember these items and items.

From eating, drinking, sleeping, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, to family business, each item has clear rules. The Nie family has lived by these rules for dozens of generations, passed down from generation to generation, and these rules have only increased. In the long river of the times, the Nie family's rules have become more and more set.

Let's just say that Mrs. Nie, as the main mother, has been abiding by these rules for more than forty years. And Nie Yang'er will have a lot of time to comply with it in the future.

There are so many rules, how long do you have to memorize them!

While Mu Chen felt sorry for the Nie family, he was very glad that he had not encountered this situation.

Although the master used to arrange homework for Mu Chen to recite every day, those were poems, books, rituals, and music, and the exercises were decisive. Mu Chen has been very interested in it since he was a child, and he can quickly understand the meaning in it, and it is very easy to memorize.

After Mu Chen sat down, Old Lady Nie asked, "What did you find?"

Mu Chen shook his head and replied truthfully: "I didn't find anything suspicious. But if I found a little bloodstain, I could take it to test it to see if it was Pingping's. ”

Mu Chen said and handed the leaf in the bag to Old Lady Nie.

Now Mu Chen is in Yunzhou, which they are not familiar with, and they are no more troublesome than Xunxiang Pavilion. But fortunately, there is still the prestigious Nie family, Mrs. Nie. Therefore, the test can only be handed over to Mrs. Nie to complete.

"Don't worry, I'll ask someone to do it tomorrow. "Old Lady Nie carefully placed the leaves.

After eating a meal, Mu Chen was very worried, and the fog that shrouded the Nie family was too deep.

After eating, the people did not leave. Mu Chen took advantage of this time to ask Old Lady Nie: "Because we didn't find any suspicious clues in the place where Pingping disappeared, I hope you can give me a specific description of what she looked like when you found Pingping." ”

Mu Chen finished speaking with some embarrassment, and looked at Old Lady Nie's expression cautiously. He knew that his request was rude and too cruel for an old man.

But now there is no other breakthrough in the whole thing, Mu Chen can only learn more about Pingping, hoping to make a discovery.

Old Lady Nie's expression did become uncomfortable and painful again, and her eyes were full of the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.

"Grandma, let me tell them, I'll help you back first. "The sensible Nie Yang'er can't bear the pain of grandma's memories.

Old Lady Nie pondered for a while, then nodded, and was helped back to the room by Nie Yang'er. On the way, Mrs. Nie asked Nie Yang'er a few words.

After Nie Yang'er came back, she told her grandmother and said to Mu Chen: "Grandma said that I will take you directly to see Sister Pingping." ”

"What? Isn't Pingping buried yet?" asked Mu Chen in surprise.

It's been almost half a month since Pingping's accident, even if it's winter and the corpse is decomposing slowly, but it should be buried in the ground by now!

Everyone was amazed.

Nie Yang'er nodded slightly and replied: "Sister Pingping's death is unknown, and grandma wants to give her justice, so she didn't let her sister be buried for the time being." But after a week, we didn't find the real culprit, and the whole family had to attribute the incident to yin qi again. ”

"A week ago, my grandmother decided to cremate my sister. But just as we went to see my sister for the last time, something strange happened. ”

"What's weird?" Mu Chen felt that this matter was getting more and more bizarre.

"My sister used to have her mouth and eyes closed, but when we lifted the white cloth, my sister's mouth was wide open and her eyes were very wide, and she looked very penetrating. ”

Nie Yang'er couldn't help but shudder after speaking, and now she still feels palpitations when she thinks of the scene at that time.

This change in my sister scared the whole family, and my grandmother thought it was because of my sister's resentment after her death. ”

Grandma found the presiding officer of the Yunzhou temple and sent her sister to the temple, where the monks chanted the scriptures every day, hoping to eliminate her sister's resentment. ”

"Grandma also became a lot haggard because of this. ”

After Nie Yang'er finished speaking, Mu Chen didn't know something.
