Cheng Muyou stopped lifting his boots, turned back to find the source of the voice, and shouted at Shi Fei, "Come back, I heard someone near here." ” Shi Fei's steps froze, and he hurriedly shone the fire fold in his hand behind Cheng Muyou, but wherever the firelight went, there was nothing except a dense tree trunk.
Shi Fei walked to Cheng Muyou's side, helped him pull his boots out of the mud, and whispered, "My lord, my subordinates haven't seen anyone." ” Cheng Muyou took the fire fold and shook it behind him, and sure enough, as Shi Fei said, there was not even half a human shadow in the dense forest, only bare tree trunks, like ghost shadows, standing behind him.
But just now, he clearly heard a low sob, less than three feet away from him, full of pain and unwillingness.
Thinking of this, he swept the fire fold downward, and the light of the fire swept by, illuminating the earth below a bright brownish red, as if mixed with blood.
He looked at the dirt where his boots had been glued, and his arms suddenly froze, like dead branches above his head.
Seeing that he froze, Shi Fei hurriedly came over, looked at the muddy field illuminated by the firelight, and muttered, "My lord, what have you discovered?"
Before he finished speaking, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his mouth opened into a big circle, which he did not close for a long time.
When he spoke again, his voice was a little more vibrato, "My lord, why is this soil so soft and the color is different from other places, is there something buried underneath?"
” Cheng Muyou ignored Shi Fei, he held the fire fold in one hand, squatted down and began to dig up on the ground with the other hand, Shi Fei came back to his senses, hurriedly walked over, and also desperately dug in the land, throwing the damp soil behind him.
Suddenly, his hand touched something cold, and it was frozen a little, but he could still feel a little elastic when he touched it.
Shi Fei subconsciously retracted his hand, and the next moment, he reached in and grabbed it and pulled it out hard.
But he used too much force, and while pulling the thing out of the dirt, his body couldn't help but fall backwards, and fell on his back on the cold ground.
"Adult" Shi Fei looked at the thing that was held tightly in the palm of his hand, and his lips trembled and shouted these two words.
Cheng Muyou hurriedly ran towards him and helped him up with one hand, but when he saw the thing that was still being grabbed by Shi Fei, his heart trembled slightly, and the light of the fire fold also trembled.
In Shi Fei's hand, there was an arm, gray and blue, covered with mud, and there was a flat incision at the top of the big arm, although it was also covered with a layer of mud, it was still oozing blood, dripping and dripping, staining Shi Fei's robe.
"My lord, it's a broken corpse."
Hearing this, Cheng Muyou's heart tightened suddenly, he held the fire fold and carefully looked at it several times, and finally exhaled, "It's okay, it's not her." ” Shi Fei also breathed a sigh of relief, but he quickly dropped his arm and threw himself into the mud puddle again, digging desperately in the ground with both hands, and after a few strokes, he stopped again, looked at Cheng Muyou who was lighting himself, and nodded at him with a serious face.
Fresh pieces of the body were dug up by the two men one after another, and there were six pieces in total: in addition to the two arms and two legs, the man's upper abdomen and lower waist were cut into two pieces.
However, Dudu's head was gone, and Cheng Muyou and Shi Fei dug all the vicinity, but they didn't find the person's head.
Shi Fei gasped, looked at the corpses a few times, and said to Cheng Muyou, "My lord, these corpses are still very fresh, they should have been killed for less than two days, but his head is missing, and we have no way of knowing his true identity." ” Cheng Muyou also looked at the bloody corpse like him, his ten fingers crossed under his nose, the light at the bottom of his eyes flickered and dimmed, and after a long time, he whispered, "Shi Fei, I have a feeling that the barnacle is not far away, she is here, in this Yushan Village." ” Shi Fei was taken aback, "What do you mean, these bloody cases are all caused by barnacles?"
If so, she is hiding too deeply, and we have been to this village several times, but we have not found her. ” "She's hiding herself too well" Speaking of this, his words suddenly broke from the middle, and a white light flashed in his head, and with a "boom", his mind was blown apart.
"She may be in a particularly conspicuous place, but because she is so common and familiar, she is overlooked."
Yan Niang's words were like a sharp chisel smashing open a hard corner of his heart, and he vaguely saw a ray of light, but when he wanted to chase it, the light passed away quietly, making it difficult for him to find it again.
"What are you thinking, sir?"
Shi Fei's voice pulled Cheng Muyou back from his thoughts, he staggered to his feet, turned his head to look at Shi Jin's slightly confused face, and said softly, "Take off your robe and drag these corpses out." ” The blood-drenched corpse quickly attracted the onlookers of the villagers, and the crowd circled around the corpse in a circle with a huge diameter, not daring to approach, but they were all attracted by the curiosity, and couldn't help but want to take a few more looks.
Cheng Muyou whispered in Shi Fei's ear: "You go and check to see who is short of people, and also, take a look at who hasn't come here to watch, and after finding out, quickly return the results to me." ” Shi Fei got the order and took a few officials who had been guarding Yushan Village to go down, Cheng Muyou straightened up, looked at the impenetrable crowd, and said loudly, "There have been murders in Yushan Village, and even the officials of my Xin'an Mansion have disappeared here, fellow villagers, if you find anything unusual, please be sure to inform the government, if the information is true, there will be a heavy reward."
On the contrary, anyone who does not report the information will be found by the government and will be severely punished. ” Hearing him say this, there was a lot of talk in the crowd, and Cheng Muyou's eyes swept over the rows of people's heads one by one, familiar and unfamiliar, he was carefully observing, hoping to see the shadow of barnacles on a certain person's face.
She must be here, all these years, she has tried her best to finally get revenge, but why, she can't find her?
Where the hell is she hiding?
Who did she incarnate become?
Coldly, Cheng Muyou met a pair of eyes, those innocent eyes were looking at him timidly, and gently hit a soft place in his heart.
