Master Xiao thinks about those years

Jinhe is not far from Luocha Mountain, so Fu Nian and his party chose to go there on foot.

Passing through the closed path with overgrown branches, after a long time, the road gradually becomes wider, the mountains recede, the eaves are low, and a small town appears in front of everyone.

There are three words engraved on the stone tablet standing at the entrance of the town: "Jinshui Town" and there is a river behind this town, which is the Jin River.

This town is not as lively as Baishui City, nor is it as closed as the villages at the foot of Luocha Mountain.

When Fu Nian and the others walked into the town, they could see that there were all wooden buildings lined up on the street, and the buildings had been exposed to the wind and sun for years, and became mottled and criss-crossed.Although it looks old, it makes the small town unpretentious.

Yan Chen's eyes swept across the wooden buildings and fell to the end, he was slightly startled.

At the end of the street, behind the overlapping wooden buildings, you can faintly see a corner of vermilion flying high, with intricate totems carved on the corner of the eaves, looking from afar, although it is not magnificent, it is in the middle of all the old wooden buildings. Against the backdrop, it is beautiful bead embroidery.

Looking at the corner of the eaves right now, one can tell that this family is of extraordinary status.

The corner of the eaves really stood out among the mottled wooden buildings, and Meng Huan and the others couldn't help but glance a few more times at the piece of vermilion.

"Brother, why don't you ask the people in this town about the Jinhe dead body first, so as to familiarize yourself with the situation?" Meng Huan suggested from the side.Fu Nian refused to answer, which was regarded as acquiescence, so the group entered a teahouse.

Under the eaves, faded flags fluttered, and the skinny shopkeeper of the teahouse was crouching at the counter, thinking about his calculations.

The errand guys with white towels on their shoulders shuttled slowly. Although there were some people sitting here and there in this teahouse, it didn't make people feel lively.

"Little brother, please come over here." Meng Huan called out to the man with the white scarf on his shoulder.

The waiter paused, and immediately came over with a tea tray: "My lord, what kind of tea do you want, here we are..."

"Just serve the tea casually. We are here to ask the young master something."

Meng Huan interrupted the buddy.

"What do you want to ask, sir?"

"It's just that there has been a lot of trouble here recently, the dead body of Jinhe. Can you talk about it in detail?"

"It turned out to be this matter. This matter has been going on for several months." The man muttered to himself, and then said: "For some reason, ten people disappear every month in our town. There were ten corpses whose blood had all been drained, and these corpses happened to be the ten people who disappeared in the town."

The guy's narration was flat, and what he said was obviously a shocking thing, but his tone was calm.

The four of them felt different in their hearts, and their expressions were different. Yan Chen raised his eyes and took a little look at this guy.But Meng Huan asked directly: "Aren't you afraid of such treacherous things like people dying one after another in the town?"

"Of course I'm scared, but we don't know what to do."

The guy answered without hesitation, but there was no trace of fear in his tone.

"then you……"

"Is there a fixed time for the appearance of these corpses?"

Fu Nian opened his mouth suddenly, Meng Huan had to close his mouth.

"Oh, yes, at the beginning of every month."

"At the beginning of the month..."

"Okay, go to the Jin River and take a look to find out what's going on."

Fu Nian's eyes darkened, intending to leave.

So before doing anything for a while, the four of them got up again.The clerk seemed to be concerned about his business, so he chased after him and said, "My lord, you don't want to drink tea anymore?"

Hearing this, Fu Nian glanced at Meng Huan, Meng Huan understood, immediately took out a blue and white money bag from his waist, took out a pea-sized gold and handed it to the man.

Fu Nian thinks money and things are cumbersome, so he has always pushed them to Meng Huan for safekeeping.

"This, it's so expensive, how can I accept it? Besides...you haven't had tea yet..."

The guy had a smirk on his face and made false excuses.

"Little brother, you don't have to be polite, just take this as a reward for asking questions just now." Meng Huan Chunche handed the gold forward again.

"This, what a shame..."

The buddy stretched out his hands tremblingly, but his mouth was still evasive.

"Since you're embarrassed, don't accept it."

Jiang Yexiu sneered and said, the clerk was taken aback, his eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he quickly snatched the gold from Meng Huan's hand: "This... I'd better accept it, don't waste your kindness."

"Heh" Jiang Yexiu snorted coldly, his eyebrows twitching in mockery.

Yan Chen stood aside, unable to understand why they were pushing back and forth, so he glanced to look elsewhere, and just raised his eyes, Yan Chen saw someone hanging red silk outside the wooden house.

Hanging red silk should be a sign of a happy event, and it is not unusual for a family to have a happy event, but Yan Chen followed the person hanging the red silk and found that most of the wooden buildings of other people's houses were also hung with this red silk.

"Is there... is there a custom of hanging red silk here?"

Yan Chen turned to look at the guy.

The clerk held the golden particles in his hands, and smiled like a flower: "It's not a custom, it's because Xu Yinyin, the daughter of Xu Shang's family, is about to get married."

"Xu Merchant? His daughter is married, why does the other family hang red silk?"

"Oh, that's right. Merchant Xu is a great benefactor of our town. You guys don't know that there was a famine in our town before. Thanks to Merchant Xu opening a warehouse to release food for relief, we will not starve to death."

"Later, we townspeople are grateful for the great kindness of Merchant Xu. As long as Merchant Xu is in need, we will try our best to help, but Merchant Xu has a lot of money, and we can't help much. You see, my lord, his family is magnificent. Hey, the roof in front is his house, isn't it grand?" The clerk took two quick steps, extended his index finger and pointed far away, so Yan Chen and the others' eyes fell on the corner of the eaves embroidered with beautiful pearls.

Yan Chen paused for a moment, only to hear the guy say again: "The townspeople can't help Xu Shang's family, so they can only do some small things. Now that his daughter is married, the townspeople have unanimously negotiated at the door. Hanging red silk on the outside means that their family is celebrating."

"It was so"

Knowing the ins and outs, Yan Chen nodded lightly, and didn't ask any more questions.

But I don't know if it's because of the gold, the clerk was so excited that he didn't stop chattering: "The daughter of merchant Xu, Xu Yinyin, is a famous beauty in our area. I bet you have never seen such a beautiful person, my lord." .”

never seen...

A purple figure can't help but appear in Yan Chen's mind, is it more beautiful than Yiru?Yan Chen can't imagine that Yiru is so overwhelmed by the country and the city. If someone is above her, I don't know how she will be so beautiful.

He was thinking about it in his mind, but he never thought about it, and a look fell on Qing Jue's soft side face.

Fu Nian leaned against the door frame, looked at the red in front of her, and couldn't help thinking of the words "the most beautiful woman in the world".

"Hey, what's rare is that Xu Yinyin is not only beautiful, but also gentle and kind. She can play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting..."

The buddy is still talking: "You really have both talents and looks..."

"You don't know, there is a folk rumor about Yinyin girl in our town..."

Fu Nian was not in the mood to listen to these vulgar rumors, he came to investigate the dead body, not to chat and listen to the show, so he took the lead in striding forward.

Jiang Yexiu didn't like this guy, so he also left.Meng Huan never dared to disobey Fu Nian, and when he saw that Fu Nian was leaving, he quickly followed.Before leaving, he didn't forget to give Yan Chen who was listening attentively to what the guy said.

Yan Chen originally wanted to hear the guy finish, but Meng Huan couldn't help but toss about it, so he could only say goodbye and leave.

Walking on the road distractedly, Yan Chen vaguely heard the sound of chanting behind him,

"And Cubic gets a daughter, the small characters are Yinyin."

…………

Clear and clear voice, distant words, it turned out that the guy was still babbling on the spot with a little paranoia.Everyone didn't bother to listen, but in the end they caught their ears vaguely.

"The Qian skirt is as red as fire, and the delicate dimple is as beautiful as a picture."

…………

"Everyone, hurry up! The merchant Xu's house is spreading candy!"

"Come here for a good fortune!"

There was a loud shout, and the surrounding townspeople ran one after another, rushing to the open space not far ahead.

The footsteps of the townspeople were hurried and chaotic. The four of them, Fu Nian, were walking on the road normally, but they were immediately dispersed by the rushing crowd.

"Meng Huan!"

Yan Chen subconsciously yelled in the crowd, staggered, and was pushed around by the crowd like duckweed.

"Why, are you so worried about that idiot?"

The sound of laughing and laughing resounded in the ears, and in the confusion, Yan Chen wrapped his waist with a thick and sharp hand.The heavy force made the hoop painful.

"My lord?" Yan Chen frowned and looked up, and caught a glimpse of Fu Nian's mocking face.

"I'm disappointed to see that?"

Disappointed?

Suspicion appeared in Yan Chen's frowning brows, what is this disappointment about?

Just now he and Meng Huan were walking together, but they were suddenly dispersed by the flow of people. He was worried that Meng Huan would be too late, so why would he be disappointed?

Yan Chen was thinking about it, when the hand around his waist suddenly exerted force.

On the next side, the pain was accompanied by sneering words, "Mo Qing...you care about him so much, and he always defends you. You are about the same age, don't you... like each other?"

"shut up!"

Hearing the words, Yan Chen suddenly changed his expression, before he had time to think about anything, he subconsciously scolded.

Where does this follow.

It's fine if you don't learn well, why bother with Meng Huan?

Yan Chen was furious in his heart, it was one thing to endure the talisman, but it was another thing to treat Meng Huan.

"You changed your face so quickly... Do you not like it, or do you not admit it?" Fu Nian's misty eyes slanted, and the hand around Yan Chen's body became more and more intense.

Of course, Fu Nian knew that Meng Huan had always been pure, and would not do things like him.But he was just annoyed, and he was inexplicably annoyed when he heard Mo Qing call out Meng Huan's name.

Although Moqing is just a sacrifice prepared for his teacher and respected students to him.

But before that, he was his plaything, a complete plaything that could only belong to him.

"You are simply unreasonable!"

Yan Chenfeng's eyes were covered with frost, and he was so angry that he broke away from the rune.

The crowd was crowded and they all moved forward. Yan Chen didn't want to see Fu Nian's face for a while, so he drifted with the crowd and moved forward with the flow of people.

"Ouch!"

While staggering, Yan Chen suddenly heard a cry under his feet.
