According to the plan set on the road, the eight officials ran over from the cliffs on both sides first, lurking behind the house, Jiang Xi cherished the best light work, she climbed to the top of a spruce at the entrance of the courtyard, closely watched the situation inside, if there was an emergency, you can notify everyone in time.
The remaining few people attacked from the front, with the Shi brothers taking the lead, and Yan Niang and Cheng Muyou following behind.
Yan Niang looked at the strict layout in front of her, covered her mouth and smiled softly, "My lord, why bother so much, with me, what else are you worried about." ” "It's better to be careful, after all, the girl doesn't know what the other party's strength is" Before she finished speaking, Yan Niang had already walked to Shi Jinshi Fei's side and kicked open the door, and several people were startled by this disorderly move, looking at each other, no one knew how to deal with this completely unplanned action.
It wasn't until they saw Yan Niang flash into the courtyard that a few people came back to their senses and followed her footsteps and walked in.
Once inside, they realized that something even more unexpected was yet to come.
There is no one in the Hu family.
Yan Niang walked through one room after another, and every time she passed, she kicked the door open with her usual means, but all the rooms were pitch black, there were no lights, no figures, not to mention the monster that had been fantasized about countless times in her mind.
"My lord, could it be that the Hu family already knew that the matter was exposed, so they ran away?"
Shi Jin asked with a confused expression.
"Erxi," Cheng Muyou squeezed out these two words from between his teeth, "It must have been him who said about my visit to Shen Qing, which made the Hu family suspicious, but where has Erxi gone now?"
Was he kidnapped by the Hu family?
” While he was meditating, he suddenly heard the shouts of several officials from behind the courtyard, "My lord, come here, there is a discovery here." ” Several people hurriedly ran towards the back of the courtyard, and Jiang Xixi also slid down from the tree and followed behind them.
However, when they ran behind the courtyard wall, everyone stopped, staring at the half-staked thing on the ground in front of them, and did not move.
It was Erxi, and now, his lower body was stuck straight into the dirt, only the waist was still exposed.
His face was pale, and the half-finger-deep wound on his neck was covered with white flesh, and it was covered with ants and flies, and he had apparently been dead for several days.
"No, it's only tomorrow when the seven-day time limit is reached, and there are still a few hours left, how can he be killed?"
Jiang Xixi saw the scene in front of him, and he was so excited that he even stumbled when he spoke.
"Because he is not a sacrifice."
Yan Niang walked to the front, looked at Erxi's intact arms, and her delicate long eyebrows frowned together, "We were fooled, there must be someone else in the sacrifice, maybe we have been hooked now." ” Jiang Xixi was shocked, she rushed to Yan Niang in three or two steps, "Then what can we do, do we have to go back before dark, maybe we can stop him." ” Yan Niang shook her head, "The death gas here is so heavy, it means that the monster has not gone far, the Hu family must have divided into two ways, one way to rob the sacrifices, and the other way, they hid that thing in the mountains to prevent anyone from discovering it."
She looked at the sunset that was falling towards the mountain, and said softly, "I have to go into the mountain, find the monster before them, and cut it to the roots, so that this henchman can be completely solved." ” With that, she flashed and walked towards the door, her back disappearing into the darker and thicker night.
"My lord, let's go back quickly."
Seeing that Cheng Muyou didn't move, Jiang Xixi reminded softly behind him.
"You take Shi Jin and Shi Fei and a few of them back, and I will go to the mountains with Miss Yan to find someone."
After Cheng Muyou finished giving the order, he pulled his legs and chased after Yan Niang.
Jiang Xixi looked at the direction in which the two left, and her heart was suddenly shrouded by a trace of amazement, she shook her head, drove the slight sourness out of her heart, and turned around and shouted at Shi Jinshi Fei, "Go back to the city, you must catch the murderer tonight." ” Shen Qing staggered up the steps, his mind was dazed now, and the consequences of not sleeping for several days were finally manifested, plus the matter of Erxi came too suddenly, and he couldn't digest it for a while, so the whole person was like a soulless shell, dazed and didn't know where he was, and he didn't know what he was going to do.
The family is still the same, but just like Erxi's father and mother said, the stove is cold and not popular.
When Erxi was there, he always thought he was noisy, ignorant and verbose, but now, when he is gone, he thinks of him very much.
He lost his father and mother very early, Erxi is like his half brother, although he has never taken care of himself, but he is here, it is still like a home, and now, this Shen house is just an empty box.
"Shen Qing, do you still have food at home?"
With a burst of giggles, the two sisters of the Jiao family next door walked in, saw Shen Qing sitting on the ground, looking lonely, and hurriedly came to him, "What's wrong with you, you're not feeling well, do you want to help you invite a doctor over." ” Shen Qing shook his head blankly, stood up and staggered towards the house, "Erxi is not here, no one is cooking, you go elsewhere." ” The two sisters of the Jiao family glanced at each other, pouted and walked towards the door.
"What's wrong with this Shen Qing?
It looks like it's out of the way. ” "You don't know him yet, he comes out like this from time to time, maybe he doesn't understand what is going on, it's like losing his soul."
"Sister, I'm so hungry."
"Daddy, they haven't come back yet, let's go forward, maybe we meet someone who is cooking, and we can order something to eat."
Two thin figures walked forward along the path in front of the Shen Mansion, none of them noticed, in the shadow of the tree next to the Shen family, there was a tall figure, he saw the two sisters go out, so he followed silently, and walked with them in the direction of the setting sun.
Shen Qing slept very unsteadily, although his body was extremely tired, but there were too many things mixed in his mind, so even if he fell asleep, his mind did not get a moment of peace, in a daze, he heard someone calling his name, and then, a cold hand touched his face.
Shen Qing was startled, turned over and sat up from the bed, he gasped a few times, and then he saw clearly that the person standing by the bed was Jiang Xixi, so he got up from the bed with a bone, "Lord Jiang, Erxi has been found?"
” Jiang Xixi didn't answer, she bit her lower lip, her eyes were fleeting on his face, and she didn't dare to stay longer.
Seeing her like this, Shen Qing understood everything in his heart, "Erxi his father and mother only have such a child as him" After saying this, he couldn't hold back anymore, covered his face and cried sadly.
