Because it was a cloudy day, the light in the maple forest was very dim, Yan Niang simply released Jingwei, she stroked its dark blue feathers, "I didn't find it in my right ear here last time, the blood maple forest is the first level of Chi You's transformation, and it is also the birthplace of the earth mole, Jingwei, you go and find it to see if its nest is here." ” Jingwei squeaked, spread her wings from her hand, and flew into the depths of the dense forest in the blink of an eye.
Yan Niang walked slowly in the maple forest, and everywhere she went, she raised the tip of her nose and sniffed carefully in the air and the earth, but she was disappointed, except for the smell of grass and earth, there was no peculiar smell here.
She simply sat down next to a big tree, waiting for news from Jingwei, who was a spirit bird and good at reconnaissance at high altitudes, so she might be able to find out the whereabouts of the earth mole.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the forest above to shake twice, Yan Niang raised her head, and saw Jingwei swooping down like an arrow, waving her wings lightly, and stopping on her outstretched palm, its mouth, holding something red.
"What is this?"
Yan Niang frowned, took that thing out of Jingwei's hard little mouth, she looked at the red insect between her fingers, "Moth?
No, this is Zhu Moth. ” Jingwei chirped beside her, as if she was asking for credit, and as if she was praising her quick response.
The vermilion moth was not dead yet, touching the temperature of the human body, like a hungry wolf smelling blood, its head moved twice, and suddenly the long thorn on its buttocks pierced Yan Niang's fingers and belly.
When it was about to tie it up, it only heard a "crackle" sound, its body was pinched and exploded, and the thick green juice splashed on Yan Niang's snow-white fingers.
Yan Niang took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands, "Zhu Moth is a worm in hell, like a moth and a bee, and it has toxins, but how can it appear in this blood maple forest?"
She turned to Jingwei, "Did you find it in this forest?"
” Jingwei chirped twice and replied in the affirmative.
Yan Niang shook her head puzzled, "Then did you find the trace of the earth mole?"
” Hearing this, Jingwei flapped his wings and chirped louder, as if shaking his head and sighing.
"It seems that there is," she bowed her head and mused, "I didn't find it the last time I came to my right ear, but this time I brought you here, thinking that I could find something, but it turned out to be a bamboo basket to draw water."
In this way, the beast is indeed not in this maple forest, but where will it be?
Does this vermilion moth have anything to do with it?
” She moved forward while thinking, Jingwei stood on her shoulder and closed her eyes to recuperate, and walked out of the maple forest, Yan Niang took it back into the veil, and walked on the road alone in the rain.
"Girl, this rain has drenched you, buy an umbrella, the old body of this umbrella is strong and durable, to ensure that you don't regret buying it."
A hoarse voice with vicissitudes of life came from the side, Yan Niang squinted at the side of the road, and saw an old lady sitting there with a hat in a cloak and a hat, and a bamboo basket was placed in front of her, which was full of cyan cloth umbrellas.
"I love the rain, I don't like umbrellas."
Yan Niang replied to her and continued to walk forward.
"Hey, today's young people, they are dressed quite decently, but they are stingy and tight, and they are reluctant to even buy an umbrella, so they rely on their youth to dare to spoil their bodies so much, and in a few years, they will have children, and then their legs will hurt and their arms will be sore, but you can bear it."
When she saw Yan Niang walking away, she muttered for a long time.
Yan Niang listened to all these words in her heart, but she didn't mind, but she walked a few steps, turned back again, squatted in front of the old woman, her eyes narrowed into two beautiful bends, "Mother-in-law, this rain is getting more and more urgent, I will also buy an umbrella, otherwise I will really be scolded to death by my father and mother when I go home." ” Granny Zhong suddenly had a smile on her face, and Fang Cai was already judging the two of them, "My umbrella, the quality is good, you might as well buy a few more and bring one back to your parents and brothers, it's good." ” "What my mother-in-law said is, then you can help me pick a few good ones, I'll take a handful, and wrap up the rest of the troubles."
Granny Zhong agreed with a sigh, and at the same time quickly helped Yan Niang pick up an umbrella and pack an umbrella.
Yan Niang saw that she was smiling so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and pretended not to care and asked, "Mother-in-law, have you always been selling umbrellas here?"
” Granny Zhong nodded, "I've lived here all my life, and I've sold umbrellas here for a lifetime, and my life is miserable." ” "Have you seen a strange sheep around lately?"
Granny Zhong stopped what she was doing and raised her eyes sunken into her skin, "Strange sheep?
What's the weird way?
” "For example, the one with four horns" Granny Zhong handed the umbrella to Yan Niang, "Girl, you look like a clever child, why do you say stupid things, it's not like I haven't seen sheep, but the four-horned sheep, isn't this a joke, where is this kind of monster." ” Seeing what she said firmly, Yan Niang lowered her head and smiled, "I also heard others talk about it, and I thought it was strange, so I asked casually, and my mother-in-law didn't want to laugh at me." ” Cheng Muyou raised his head from the mountain of case files and looked at Jiang Xixi and the Shi brothers who were standing solemnly next to him, "The person hasn't been found yet?"
” Jiang Xixi took a step forward, "My lord, we have been searching for several days in a row, and we have searched all over Lingyun Mountain and its vicinity, but we still haven't found the Cuiyu girl. ” Cheng Muyou bit his lip and pondered for a while, "It's a pity, you go and bring me the case before I took office in Xin'an." ” Jiang Xi was puzzled, "My lord, do you want copywriting?"
Not a case file?
” Cheng Muyou nodded at her without hesitation, Jiang Xi got the order, and hurriedly walked out of the study, and after a while, she came back with an extra blue booklet in her hand.
She put the booklet in front of Cheng Muyou and said softly, "The copywriting records of the previous ones are extremely simple, and there is only such a booklet in total, which is nothing more than some ordinary events about the changes in Xin'an City, I don't know what the adults want to do with this?"
” Cheng Muyou ignored her, he opened the booklet, carefully examined it page by page, and when he was halfway through, he stopped, frowned slightly, and carefully studied the contents of that page of records.
After about a quarter of an hour, he raised his head and looked at the three people in front of him with inexplicable faces, "This page is an account of Bulaotun, a few days ago when you said that there were only two families there, I was already suspicious, because that place has mountains and rivers, suitable for farming, why is the population getting smaller and smaller, now it seems that the reason why the people in the tun continue to move away one after another, is for a reason." ” "What is the reason?"
Jiang Xixi couldn't help it anymore and asked urgently.
Cheng Muyou pointed to the words at the bottom of the page and read them out softly, "This place is unknown. ”
