On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

The two servants looked aggrieved and were about to cry, but Old Madam Wu waved her hand irritably and told them to go to the yard to talk.

She didn't want to stand and listen, her old waist was about to break.

Entering the yard, the two servants were not qualified to enter the house, so they stood at the bottom of the steps and answered.

"We have arrived at the scene of the accident, but we haven't seen it clearly yet. The government officials..."

Before she could finish her words, the old lady walked into the room through the curtain. There was no light in the room, but she felt that it was different from usual. There was a sense of coolness and... emptiness.

It's like the cold feeling after everything has been moved out.

Yes, that was the feeling I had just now in the third brother’s yard.

Things were emptied?

The old lady laughed and her voice trembled a little: "Quick, turn on the lights, what are you still standing there for? Turn on the lights!"

The maidservant hurriedly lit the lamp, but took the lighter to the candlestick... Where was the candle? Where was the candlestick?

Where is the table!

The maids were obviously panicked.

"Ma'am, no."

"There are no candles, no candlesticks, not even a table."

At this time, the old lady slowly got used to the darkness in the room. In fact, it was not completely dark yet, and the moonlight came out from behind the clouds and shone weakly into the room.

The old lady stared with wide eyes—not feeling, but a vacuum.

Her lips trembled, and she held on to the old woman's arm, staggered into the inner room, and lifted the curtain.

It's a little dark in front of my eyes.

There was nothing in the inner room either.

It was completely empty. Not to mention the money and valuables she had hidden, even the dressing table, bed, and wardrobe were gone.

Old Man Wu felt uncomfortable in his heart, closed his eyes and leaned back.

The old women and maids hurried to support her.

"Ah!" The old lady took a deep breath and trembled all over. It was unclear whether she was trembling out of anger, fear or heartache.

"How could this happen? Where are my things? What are the servants in the yard doing?"

At the end she roared with all her might, then fell back and almost fainted again.

The old women and maids were unable to persuade her, as they were still confused and unable to accept it.

The timid maids were trembling slightly, whispering: "Could it be... a ghost..."

"Shut up!" the housekeeper shouted in a low voice, "What nonsense!"

The little maid didn't dare to say anything. Although the old woman said so, she was still a little uneasy.

There were so many people in and outside the yard, how come all the things were gone?

The same goes for the Third Master’s yard. How did those things get out of the house?

Crossing the courtyard, and then swaggering out of the house, this...

People really can't do it.

There was chaos in the old lady's yard. The two servants who were waiting to report the situation had no chance to speak when they saw the situation. They looked at each other and quietly slipped away.

Anyway, this matter is not a big deal. The life and death of the eldest lady is not as important as a piece of furniture in the old lady's room. It would be unlucky to talk about it now, and I might even get beaten again.

Forget it, I'd better go back and rest. My legs are numb.

The two reached a consensus that they would not mention anything about the eldest lady. They would answer whenever the old lady asked, and if she didn't ask, they would pretend that nothing had happened.

who cares!

……

Yan Ruyu was in the space and received a call from the abbot.

"Ruyu, is there any result?" The abbot's voice was a little weak.

Yan Ruyu was startled: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's nothing serious, don't worry, it's just a little... nausea..."

There was a sound of retching, followed by a gurgling sound of gargling.

Yan Ruyu suddenly remembered that when Cui Chong took the corpse out of the bag, the abbot was still there. Later, her attention was all on the corpse and she didn't notice when the abbot left.

Now hearing the sound of his vomiting, Yan Ruyu probably understood.

Holding back his laughter, he pretended not to know and asked, "What's wrong with you? Did you eat something wrong? Let me go and take a look at you."

"No, no," the abbot explained quickly, "I, it's just..."

After thinking for a long time, I couldn't find a good excuse.

"How's the situation over there?" He changed the subject abruptly.

Yan Ruyu could tell that he was really upset, so she stopped teasing him and said, "There are some clues. This is not difficult to detect."

"What's the result?"

"This corpse is not Madam Wu."

Yan Ruyu chatted with the abbot for a few words, asked him to rest, and then hung up and exited the space.

Huo Changhe was still guarding the outer room. When he saw her come out and observed her expression, he was relieved to find that she was fine. He asked, "How is it? Is there any result?"

"Yes," Yan Ruyu nodded, "Based on the pelvic age, it is about sixteen to twenty years old."

Huo Changhe frowned: "Then it's not Madam Wu, it's her maid."

"That's right," Yan Ruyu nodded. "According to Song Ping, there were also traces of dragging at the bottom of the cliff, and the remains of the maid were left on it. The one who was dragged... might be Madam Wu."

Huo Changhe nodded slowly: "This is not the most important point. What's important is whether this is a beast or not."

Yan Ruyu was silent for a moment: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Huo Changhe answered carefully: "I have been thinking about this just now. When I was in Shencheng before, there were also cases of wild animals injuring people, but not many. Most of them happened in winter. Wild animals would attack people when prey was scarce."

"However, in this case, there probably won't be such a large corpse left behind."

Yan Ruyu somehow thought of Xianglin Sao, that poor woman and her child who was eaten by wild beasts.

Thinking of the remains of the corpse just now, he hesitated a little and said, "My Lord, when wild beasts eat people, where do they usually start eating first?"

Huo Changhe thought without hesitation: "Not to mention eating people, as long as it is prey, I will first attack the throat and bite it to death, or use my claws to cut open the belly and internal organs..."

These are the two weakest places and the easiest places to attack successfully.

Huo Changhe paused as he spoke, and looked at Yan Ruyu. They understood each other.

"Yes, the internal organs of the corpse are still there."

Huo Changhe pursed his lips and frowned. After a long while, he slowly said, "So, it is just as Linlang said. It is not a beast, but... a human?"

"I checked the wound and it was definitely not caused by the sharp teeth of a large animal. The bite force of an animal's teeth is much greater than that of a human. The wound should not have been torn like this."

"But if it's a human," Yan Ruyu was also puzzled, "let's not talk about cannibalism, or eating people alive, just tearing with teeth shouldn't be like this."

If it was an animal, the wound was too small, but if it was a human, it was too big.

What will it be?

Yan Ruyu was also confused for a moment.

"Could it be a small animal without fangs?" Huo Changhe asked.

"That's a herbivorous rodent, but why would it suddenly attack people?"

Yan Ruyu shook her head: "I don't know much about animals, so I dare not jump to conclusions."

The Tibetan fox was lying on the chair, swinging its big tail back and forth.

Huo Changhe suddenly looked at it. It probably noticed it and looked at Huo Changhe with disdain in its little eyes.
