"Yunying," Manager Xu cleared his throat, "You go back, I'm also tired, tomorrow is the first seven days of the young lady, and there are still a lot of things to prepare." ” Yun Ying bowed slightly, and walked out of the house gently, she came to the middle of the courtyard, took off the clothes that hung on the rope, and then hugged her to her chest and walked towards Xiao Zhen's room.
There were candles lit in the small room, Yun Ying looked inside, and found Huo Qingming lying on the table asleep, with tears on his face that had not yet dried, and the light of the candles shone on his thin face, which made her feel sad.
"Master," she gently shook Huo Qingming's arm, "Go back to your room and sleep, it's windy at night, but don't catch a cold." ” Huo Qingming rubbed his eyes and got up from the table, the lines between his eyebrows were a little deeper, as if he was blaming Yun Ying for disturbing his sweet dream, in the dream, he held Xiao Ying on his knees and gently helped her smooth the messy hair around her ears.
"Yunying, what are you holding in your hand?"
"Miss's clothes."
"What are you going to do with it?"
"I ......
When I can't sleep, I will take it out, and holding it is like holding a young lady, otherwise my heart will always be empty, and I will not be at peace. ” Huo Qingming's eyes were covered with a layer of melancholy, this melancholy was mixed with a little gratitude, he looked at Yun Ying, and his voice became much softer, "You can grieve me in this family, Miss has been served by you since she was a child, and after her mother left, you treated her more as your own, and now that she is gone, your sadness will not be less than mine, right?"
” Yun Ying pressed her clothes to her chest again, and her eyes lowered, "I just hate myself for not trying my best to stop her that day, if Miss didn't go out, she wouldn't ......
It won't ......" her voice grew weaker and weaker, until it finally turned into a mournful low sob.
Huo Qingming's eyes were red, he gently raised his hands and wrapped his arms around Yun Ying's thin shoulders, "It's not your fault, it's all me, I welcomed that vicious woman into the door, and I was blinded by her bookish breath, if I had listened to my wife's persuasion, I would have ...... you."
Yun Ying blocked Huo Qingming's lips with her palm, and the shadow of the candle flame danced gently on his face, reflecting his extraordinarily handsome and extraordinary, "Don't say that," she felt her heart skip a few beats, "Everything I do is willing, and I have never asked for anything." ” "I know, that's why I respect you so much."
His gaze and the cloud warbler's convergence were like silk threads spit out by spring silkworms, entwined, unwilling to part for a long time.
"What?
You say those kids' brains are all gone?
After Jiang Xixi put Xun'er to sleep, he came to Cheng Muyou's study, who knew that as soon as he came in, he heard the terrifying news brought by Shi Jin.
Cheng Muyou was much calmer than her, as if he had already expected this result, he got up from his chair and walked to Shi Jin's side, and asked word by word, "How do you not have a brain?"
” Shi Jin took a deep breath, "It's really weird, those children's skulls seem to have been pierced by something extremely sharp and hard, and the brain marrow has also been sucked clean," he shook his head, and said to himself, "It's definitely not something like a wild dog or a wolf, no, no, it must not be." ” "Only the brain is gone?
What about the rest of the body?
Cheng Muyou asked further.
"Hey, yes," Shi Jin slapped his head violently, "their bodies are all intact, but I was attacked by wild wolves there, and it was strange that those two beasts couldn't have eaten the dead corpses." ” "yes, why don't you attack you instead of eating corpses?"
Cheng Muyou bowed his head and pondered.
"I'm afraid I don't dare to eat it."
Jiang Xixi suddenly interjected a sentence.
"Don't dare?"
"Well, the wolf's sense of smell is extremely sensitive, or maybe it sniffs out something about these corpses that it fears, so it doesn't dare to approach them."
Cheng Muyou's eyes froze, and his voice was as cold as moonlight, "Or maybe those wild wolves have seen things that have eaten the brains of those children, so they don't dare to steal their prey casually." ” As soon as these words came out, Shi Jin and Jiang Xixi were stunned at the same time, and fear crawled all over their bodies along their backbones little by little, and finally stopped at the edge of the root of their tongues, so that they couldn't say a word.
Time seemed to have passed for a long time, and finally, Shi Jin swallowed the saliva that had accumulated in his mouth for a long time, and stammered, "Big ......
Actually, my lord, there was another incident that happened tonight that I didn't ......
Didn't figure it out. ” Cheng Muyou turned his head, "And?"
” Shi Jin wiped his sweat, his nails digging deep into his palms, "I almost died when I was attacked by a wild wolf, but at that moment, I was saved by a handkerchief." ” "Handkerchief?"
Jiang Xixi showed an unbelievable expression, and Cheng Muyou raised his hand to signal her to let Shi Jin finish speaking, but after listening to Shi Jin's incredible experience, the surprise on Jiang Xixi's face did not ease at all.
"How is that possible?
A small handkerchief can easily get rid of a hungry wolf?
Shi Jin, were you scared crazy?
” "I know you won't believe it, so," he pulled out a wet thing from the package and put it in front of Cheng Muyou, "this is the clothes I was wearing at the time, it was already soaked with the blood of that wolf, if it wasn't squeezed clean by that handkerchief, how could there be so much blood." ” Jiang Xixi stopped talking, she looked at Cheng Muyou with a little confusion, waiting for him to make a final decision.
"Can you see the handkerchief?"
It took a long time for Cheng Muyou to ask these words from his throat.
Shi Jin scratched his head and carefully recalled Fang Cai's adventure, "That veil looks very exquisite, it seems to be embroidered with silver thread with strange symbols, it looks silver, very beautiful." ” "Embroidery?"
Jiang Xixi pointed out the key point in his words, she turned her head to look at Cheng Muyou, "My lord, could it be Yan ......." ” "Why are you still so impatient," Cheng Muyou blamed Jiang Xixi, "Even if you are prejudiced against her, you have to be reasonable, don't speculate about empty things in the future, at least so far, I haven't found any connection between her and any murder in Xin'an City." ” "But my lord, don't you really think there's a problem with the Jihong Embroidery Village......"
"As long as I don't do anything wrong in Xin'an City, I don't want to make more effort to deal with her."
Cheng Muyou glanced at Jiang Xixi meaningfully, "Help me keep an eye on her, it's not too late to draw the sword out of the sheath if you really find something." ” "Yes, my lord, and" "What else?"
"Is it now certain that the cause of death of these children is not an epidemic?
What exactly is the murderer behind the scenes?
” "Whatever it is, I'm going to pull it out and break it into pieces."
