Chapter 25: Eating the Dead


"Miss Yan is also a good drinker."

Cheng Muyou walked over to her and sat on the stone steps together, "It's a pity that the case has not been solved, otherwise Cheng would have been able to accompany the girl to have a few drinks." ” Yan Niang smiled faintly and drank all the contents of the cup, "I'm just thinking about people through wine." ” "Thinking about people?"

"Well, Siren."

Yan Niang looked at Cheng Muyou in a daze, those eyes looked like an ancient old man for a while, and like a five- or six-year-old child for a while, with simplicity in the vicissitudes of life, and subtlety in the straightforwardness.

Seeing that Cheng Muyou was being stared at by herself, she stood up, walked under a willow tree and twisted a branch, and played with it in her hand, "Did you find anything when you searched Jing Mansion?"

” Cheng Muyou took a breath, "Except for Jing Chenjin's cabinet, there is nothing suspicious. ” "Haven't found any secret rooms or anything like that?"

"Why did the girl ask?"

"If he imprisoned so many women, he must find a place where he could hide it, or he would have been discovered long ago."

Yan Niang looked back at him.

"But my people have turned Jing Mansion upside down, and they still haven't found anything, and I now suspect that the place where Jing Chenjin imprisoned those women may not be in Jing Mansion, or maybe he found a hidden house outside, and it is unknown if he locked them inside."

"But what kind of room would have no windows and doors?"

Yan Niang said to herself.

"No windows and no doors?

Miss Yan didn't find any clues that Cheng hadn't discovered?

Cheng Muyou hurriedly stepped forward, "If there is, I hope the girl knows everything, because I am sorry that she is afraid that her life is hanging by a thread and she is in danger." ” "Don't hide it, I saw Ji Yao's soul by the Spring Lake last night......"

She was just about to say this, but was interrupted by a hurried shout.

In the distance, a sweaty official ran all the way into the courtyard with a panicked expression, covered his stomach and shouted breathlessly: "My lord, something happened, something happened." ” "What scared you like this?"

Cheng Muyou asked sharply.

"Corpse......

The corpses are ...... ...... were all eaten."

Cheng Muyou was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a while, but Yan Niang had already taken the lead, she rushed outside as if she was flying, jumped on the horse and ran towards the Shen family ancestral hall.

Outside the ancestral hall stood three or four servants, their faces pale and trembling so much that they could barely support the pillars.

Cheng Muyou stepped off his horse, and rushed to the door of the ancestral hall with a strong stride, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he finally understood why these rough men who were usually strong and powerful were scared like this: all the corpses in the courtyard were gone, replaced by a piece of crimson grease, because those corpses had been soaked in water for many days, so the blood in the body had already coagulated, mixed with fat, and turned into a frozen substance like tofu.

On top of this layer of oil, occasionally scattered a few nails and teeth, glowing eerie white in the moonlight.

Yan Niang stood in the crimson, her eyes were dignified, and her face was cold and terrifying.

"What's going on?"

Cheng Muyou felt that he was about to run out of breath, and he asked a servant beside him in a hoarse voice.

"Returning to the Great ......

My lord," said the official tremblingly, "we were ordered to guard the Shen ancestral hall, and in the middle of the night, the brothers couldn't bear it and fell asleep, but it didn't take long for us to hear a clicking sound coming from inside the ancestral hall, and when we opened our eyes, we saw a ......

A ......" he couldn't go on, and the cold sweat dried up and floated up, soaking the fabric behind him.

"What do you see?"

Cheng Muyou frowned and urged.

"See......

A child ......"

"Kid?"

"But the thing said it was a child, but it didn't look like a child, because its head was bigger than an adult, flat and wide, and it was squatting on the ground with its back to us, clutching a corpse in its hand and munching on it.

We were so frightened by the strange scene that we couldn't even speak, but at that moment, the thing seemed to hear the movement behind us and slowly turned its head.

The official was already trembling when he said this, he clenched the corners of his clothes, and stared at Cheng Muyou with red eyes, "Its mouth is very large, the corners of its mouth extend to its ears, its mouth is full of blood bubbles and flesh foam, and its eyes are redder than rabbit's eyes, big and convex like copper bells."

When it saw us, it opened its mouth and let out a threatening growl.

That big mouth was densely packed with teeth, each of which was upright, like a ......

It's like a sunflower plate......"

After listening to him, Cheng Muyou didn't respond for a long time, and the official saw that his face was gloomy and scary, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, and quietly withdrew from the courtyard and stood aside.

The clouds in the sky came and went, covering the moon in a wool-like cloud.

Cheng Muyou stood in place, his eyes were red with blood everywhere, he only felt that he had never been so frustrated, Jiang had no clue about what he regretted, and in the face of such a monster like a hungry ghost, he was even more helpless.

He didn't even want to believe that this depressed man was himself, from childhood to adulthood, he was the pride of the Cheng family, full of poetry and books, proficient in medical skills and martial arts were not wasted, he went out with the army at the age of seventeen, and captured a member of the Liao army.

But now, he is like a leopard that has fallen into a trap, even if he has eighteen kinds of martial arts, it is difficult to perform, he can only wait and grind until his strength is exhausted.

A slender figure flashed in front of his eyes, and Cheng Muyou raised his head suddenly, "Miss Yan, where are you going?"

” "Qiu Xingshan."

Her voice rolled like a jade bead, without any mud or water.

"Where is it?"

"That's right," her voice was quite disdainful, "but I see that adults want to feel sorry for themselves here, so Yan Niang is inconvenient to bother, so I will leave first."

She said as one foot stepped out of the threshold.

"Wait," Cheng Muyou stopped her, "It's dangerous on the mountain, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the girl to go alone."

Also," he added, "It is the responsibility of Xin'an Mansion not to keep the evidence, and Cheng can't let it go." ” Yan Niang raised her eyebrows, "Do you know what you are facing?"

” Cheng Muyou walked up to her, "No matter what it is, I'm going to meet him for a while, and with the girl here, Cheng doesn't feel scared." ” Yan Niang pursed her lips and smiled, grabbed the reins and jumped on the horse, she whipped the horse's buttocks fiercely, and then galloped away in the direction of Qiu Xingshan.

Cheng Muyou looked back at a servant, "You go and tell Shi Fei Shi Jin, let them continue to find Miss Jiang's whereabouts, and a few others, come with me, let's go see what that corpse eater is." ”
