There was no one, the rustling sound was just a piece of gold leaf brought by the paper horse, Cheng Muyou's shoes stepped on a piece of gold leaf, "click", it was trampled off, he bent down to pick up the two pieces of broken gold leaf, put it in the palm of his hand and looked carefully: thin as cicada wings, but so fragile, it cracked when he stepped on it There was a "boom" in his head, and a lot of voices gathered at the same time, which made him unable to digest for a while and had a splitting headache.
"I heard that the Han family spends a thousand taels of gold every year to tie these paper horses" "The girl exaggerated, no matter how many paper horses there are, how can you need a thousand taels of gold" "Han Zhiyuan likes to put on a show, and the walls are covered with gold sheets, which are shining" "Paper horses kill people, no one here knows, it brought something from the underworld" "The whole village asked, but no witnesses were found" "My lord, maybe the paper horse killing is just a rumor" The sound freezes here.
Rumor.
Cheng Muyou sat up from the bed suddenly, his breath was blocked in his chest, and he couldn't breathe for a long time: rumors, rumors, rumors After sitting in the dark for a long time, he suddenly laughed, and the laughter was so loud in the dead silence that it startled him.
A thousand taels of gold, this word, presumably not groundless, Han Zhiyuan, your paper horse, should not be glued to the gold foil paper, I'm afraid, with your personality, you must stick the gold sheet on the paper horse, in order to show your difference.
It's just that inside the Han house, why is it all gold leaf, if your paper horse really comes back, why don't you come back with gold flakes, but with gold leaf?
Unless he lowered his head, unless the killing of the paper horse was fake, those gold leaf papers were just deliberately left to make the scene more real, but the person ignored that Han Zhiyuan's paper horse was simply a golden horse covered with gold sheets.
Thinking of this, there was already a dense layer of sweat on his body, although all this was just an inference, but Cheng Muyou couldn't sleep anymore, he got out of bed, pushed the door and came to the courtyard, took a few deep breaths of the warm and cold air, but still couldn't suppress the half-nausea and half-irritability feeling in his heart.
With more than 200 lives, if it was really designed to be killed, then what kind of blood feud would there be between this person and Han Zhiyuan?
How could he be so brutal and wipe out the Han family overnight.
The faint light flickered on the opposite side of the courtyard wall, and Cheng Muyou unconsciously called out those three words, "Miss Yan?
” "Master Cheng, you scared me, in the middle of the night, I thought it was a terrible ghost who asked for people's souls?"
The voice was crisp, like a stream infiltrating his anxiety, Cheng Muyou suddenly felt a lot more relieved, even though the road ahead was difficult and dangerous, but it was not dark.
"How can the girl be afraid of any terrible ghosts, I am afraid that when the terrible ghosts see the girl, they will kneel on the ground and shout a few times to spare their lives."
He actually had the idea of joking, and as soon as he blurted out the words, he felt strange.
Yan Niang laughed twice, "The adults are making fun of me again, but if I don't sleep in the middle of the night, do you have anything to worry about?"
” Cheng Muyou's heart hesitated, but just for a moment, he couldn't help but tell the words in his heart, "I have a very ridiculous idea." ” "Since I can't fall asleep over and over again for a thought, it can be seen that it is by no means a ridiculous thing."
The opposite side is exquisite, and you can guess it thoroughly.
"Girl, I think that the killing of paper horses may really be a rumor deliberately planted by someone."
No one responded on the other side of the wall for a long time, Cheng Muyou waited for a while, and then asked quietly, "Miss Yan, are you still there?"
” "Let's look it up."
"What?"
"Re-screen all the suspicions, as the Xin'an County Commander, you are the only person who has this power and this responsibility."
After speaking, the light on the side of the courtyard wall disappeared, and Yan Niang went back, she didn't say goodbye, leaving only this sentence that made Cheng Muyou think about it repeatedly.
I don't know how long he stood again, he suddenly clenched his fists, and his determination was made in an instant, what about nine years, what if there was no evidence, I want to investigate, investigate the matter of Hanmen clearly, and completely confirm it.
Thinking of this, the unpleasant feeling in his heart disappeared completely, and the sky was already bright in the distance, so he simply stopped going back to the bedroom, but walked in the direction of the file room.
Yan Niang didn't sleep either, she looked at the sky outside the window getting whiter and whiter, and a smile overflowed on her lips, "It seems that I really found the right person." ” Jingwei peeked out from under the water, and although it had been diving in the river for a long time, the hair on its body was not wet at all, and under the cover of the moonlight, it was shiny like a crystal clear sapphire.
It flew to the top of a large boulder raised from the cliff, its head bobbing from side to side, searching back and forth on the dark waters.
It had been searching the place for three days, and despite being exhausted, it had not found any of them.
In the past few days, it has dived into deep water again and again, passing through every clump of aquatic weeds, every lump of silt, there are many things in the water, and there are secrets buried for thousands of years, but they are not what it is looking for.
Jingwei's gaze fell on the darkest part of the water, and underneath that, there should be a deep ravine, the water was deep enough that the color would be like now, black and red, as if stained with blood.
Wait, maybe there are other dangers in the ravines, such as the hidden vortexes, which are the deadliest, they are like huge funnels, rolling everything that comes close to the bottom of the dark hole, and it will never be able to transcend.
With a slight swing of his head, Jingwei didn't care about being tired, and flapped his wings and flew towards the deepest water, just like tens of thousands of years ago, not afraid of huge waves, not afraid of the deep sea, just for freedom and hope, forging ahead.
Suddenly, it plunged headlong into the water, its wings turned backwards, its body was like a shuttle, inserted into the deep river water, down, down, it passed through layers of blue waves, and quickly came to the top of the ravine.
The ravine was very dark, and there was no light at all, but Jingwei's eyes seemed to be condensed with a thousand years of moonlight, bright and white, and it stared at the deep ditch like black satin, and found that there seemed to be something inside, swaying up and down, a lot, and with the quiet swaying of the water waves, there seemed to be some faint light points refracted upward.
What is it?
Jingwei didn't hesitate, and didn't care about the whirlpools that might be hidden in the dark in the ravine, and plunged into it, and as soon as he dived into the ravine, the cold forced it to can't open its eyes, and a layer of hoarfrost quickly formed on its wings, and water couldn't dissolve it.
Immediately, the cry was faint, and it surrounded from all directions, surrounding the Jingwei regiment.
