"Xun'er, who are you talking to?"
A hand suddenly fell on his shoulder, which startled Xun'er, and he turned around and saw Cen Nanying holding a bowl of hot soup, looking at him with a surprised face.
"Auntie, this bean has a human face on this bean."
Xun'er hurriedly brought the mung bean to Cen Nanying and pointed out to her the weird face on it.
Cen Nanying stared at Mung Bean for a while, and then turned her gaze to Xun'er's face, but when she turned her face, Xun'er's heart was already half gray, because she looked at her with panic in her eyes, and at the same time, she also pressed a hand on his forehead, "Xun'er, do you have a fever?"
Why are you talking nonsense?
” She didn't see it.
Xun'er sighed in his heart, he was no stranger to this kind of thing now, but when he experienced it again, he was still a little disheartened.
In order not to be misunderstood by Cen Nanying, he put away the disappointment on his face and grinned reluctantly, "Xun'er is joking with Auntie, is Auntie serious?"
” Cen Nanying exhaled deeply, took his hand and walked forward, "You kid, you really scared me, let's go back quickly, the soup won't taste good if it's cold." ” Xun'er meekly followed her forward, but with the other hand, she put the human bean at the bottom of her pocket, for fear of losing it.
Yan Niang got dressed, sat up lazily from the bed, and smiled at Jiang Xixi, who was standing next to her, "Okay, you also checked my body for me according to what Master Cheng said, can you rest assured now?"
” Jiang Xixi nodded and shouted out the door, "My lord, Miss Yan is already dressed, you can come in." ” As soon as the words fell, Cheng Muyou pushed the door in, walked quickly to the bed, looked at Jiang Xixi and asked, "No external injuries?"
The texture is not red or swollen?
The bones don't hurt when pressed?
” Jiang Xixi spread her hands, "I checked it carefully according to what the adults said, but I really didn't see anything unusual, and Miss Yan herself didn't feel pain, it seems that there is no big problem." ” Yan Niang combed the hair behind her to her chest, played with her braids without a match, and muttered, "I just said it's okay, it's okay, is there really something I can't notice?"
At this point, her fingers playing with braids suddenly stopped moving, and her eyes stared at the weaker and weaker candle on the candlestick without blinking, and said in her mouth, "But that swamp is indeed a little weird, Cen Nanying said that there are many people who died in the swamp, but from ancient times to the present, there are constant wars, where can no one die?"
Why does the collar keep moving when it comes here?
” Hearing this, Cheng Muyou also frowned two thick eyebrows, "Even the girl thinks it's strange, it can be seen that the forest is really weird, but what is hidden there?"
Even the girl couldn't notice it. ” As he was talking, the candle on the table shook suddenly, and the firelight flashed from the faces of several people, so startled that Jiang Xixi grabbed his sword and ran to the window, looking down.
"Miss Jiang doesn't need to be so suspicious, it's just a gust of night wind," Yan Niang stood up, her slender body leaned on the edge of the table, but her eyes were fixed on Cheng Muyou's eyes, and she said word by word, "But the swamp is indeed very evil, in the pre-Jin Dynasty, there was a mystery in Jinyang City, two peasant brothers found a corpse when digging peat in a swamp, the deceased was a man, and it looked like he had just died."
His eyelashes, the stubble and wrinkles on his chin were still noticeable, and even his fur hat was intact, making him look like he hadn't been dead for a long time.
The two brothers then informed the government of this, and when the officials came, they dug up more than 100 corpses from the quagmire, men and women, adults and children, and each corpse was the same as the man's corpse, with skin, intestines, internal organs, nails, hair, and even stomach residues still well preserved.
So many corpses were found at once, of course, the government attached great importance to it, and even the imperial court was alarmed, and Li Keyong sent heavy troops to search Jinyang City for several days, but no suspect was found.
In the end, it was Li Keyong's son Li Cunqiao who discovered the flaws in these corpses and solved the case in one fell swoop. ” Cheng Muyou focused his gaze on Yan Niang's unfazed little face, and said softly, "Flaws?
Do all corpses have common features?
Same cause of death?
Wounded by the same blade?
Or do you have the same physical appearance?
” Yan Niang smiled, stretched out a finger and waved it at him, "The adult guessed wrong, it's not." ” Jiang Xixi was an anxious person, and when she heard this, she couldn't help it anymore, and walked over and pulled Yan Niang's hand down, "Miss Yan, don't pretend to be mysterious, say it quickly, I'm waiting." ” Yan Niang smiled again, "The flaw that Li Cunqiao found was not in the corpses, but in the clothes they were wearing." ” Jiang Xixi raised his eyebrows, "Clothes?
” "Well, the clothes that everyone is wearing are not the styles of the time, but curved deep clothes with wide sleeves."
"Curved deep clothes, tied with wide sleeves" Cheng Muyou lowered his head and muttered these words, after a while, he suddenly raised his head, his face was full of disbelief, "This is the characteristic of Han Dynasty clothing." ” Seeing that he instantly guessed the mystery, Yan Niang nodded with satisfaction, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "That's right, the representative clothing of the Han Dynasty is the deep coat, the deep coat is a straight-leg long shirt, the clothes and clothes are connected together to wrap the body, cut separately but sewn up and down.
In layman's terms, it is the top and bottom that are connected together, and the edges are made of different colors of fabric, which is characterized by hiding the body deeply. ” "But the girl just said that it was from the pre-Jin period, and the corpses are still well preserved," he gasped, and said suddenly, "Is it a swamp?"
” "It's really admirable that adults can understand it at a glance."
Yan Niang saw that Cheng Muyou seemed to have understood it, covered her mouth and yawned lightly, picked up a date from the plate on the table, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully.
"My lord, Miss Yan, what are you talking about, why didn't I understand?
What swamps, what Han Dynasty clothes, where is this, and who is the murderer?
So how did Li Cunmiao solve the case?
Seeing that one of them was bored eating dates, and the other was contemplating the broken candle, Jiang Xixi was even more confused, she couldn't understand what the relationship between these things was, but Cheng Muyou seemed to have understood everything.
"Those dead bodies are already hundreds of years old, and the reason why the corpses are well preserved is due to the swamp."
Cheng Muyou looked at Jiang Xixi and said quietly.
