she won't live to twenty

Seeing Nanyue chewing the steamed stuffed bun in a daze, Wuming was in a great mood. He swallowed a steamed stuffed bun and vaguely praised how delicious the stuffed buns were, which made the boss blush.

Wuming boasted several times in a row, then suddenly changed the subject, and asked with a smile: "Boss, I heard that there is a magician in your county. I happen to have something to ask the fortune-teller to take a look. Boss, do you know where he lives?" place?"

The boss who was smiling just now froze instantly, and the fear in his eyes flashed away.He managed to control his expression with great difficulty, and said in a low voice: "Girl, it's not that I don't want to tell you, brother, but that Wang Shen moved away long ago."

"That's it...it's just a coincidence." Wuming frowned regretfully, and continued to bury his head in his food.

According to Wang Liao, his family was kicked out by the county magistrate, but now that Kaiyang city has changed to a county magistrate, why didn't the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop dare to mention Mr. Wang's matter?What is he afraid of?

Wuming frowned, and then quickly relaxed it.Seeing that the buns were about to be eaten, Wuming ordered two more bowls of hot milk.

Nanyue blinked pitifully: "Wu Ming, I can't eat anymore."

The ring finger flicked her forehead, and only said one word: "Eat."

Running around on the road these days, Wuming definitely won't let Nanyue starve, on the contrary, Nanyue is full enough to eat pastries every day.But it was precisely because of eating too many pastries and snacks that Wuming was afraid that she would be malnourished, so she had to drink milk at this time.

"I really can't eat..." Nanyue said coquettishly after a long absence with tears in her eyes, "Sister."

Wuming was taken aback, his expression suddenly softened.

She sat on the chair over to Nanyue, picked up the spoon and said, "I'll feed you."

No matter how reluctant Nanyue was, she had no choice but to follow Wuming's actions and sip the milk in a grievance.

After breakfast, the two walked slowly towards the south of the city.

According to Wang Liao, his family used to live in a small courtyard in the south of the city. There was a clear stream in front of the courtyard, a peach blossom forest in the back, and a family next to it. There was a smell of wine.

The two walked out of the center of the city and walked south along the bluestone path. As expected, they smelled the strong aroma of wine within a short time.Wuming noticed on the road that there were not many young men on the street today.Further on, a brook gurgled by.

Wuming carried Nanyue across the creek, and within a few steps, he saw two small courtyards separated by a distance of about ten feet.One of the courtyards has been abandoned for a long time, the courtyard door has been smashed to pieces, and the house is not much better. It should be the home of Wang Liao and his sister.The aroma of wine came from another courtyard.

Wuming and Nanyue sneaked into the courtyard of Wang's house silently and looked around. Except for the dilapidated houses, there was nothing inside.Only then did the two leave the small courtyard of the Wang family and walk into the restaurant next door.

A middle-aged man was busy making peach blossoms in the courtyard. When he saw a beautiful and seductive foreign woman walking in with an equally beautiful and lovely girl, he couldn't help being stunned, and it took him a while to realize: "The two girls are here Buying peach blossom wine? Then you have come to the right place, our peach blossom wine here is delicious..."

The man boasted for a while, then scooped up another cup and handed it over: "You two have a try?"

Nanyue looked up at Wuming and blinked.

Wuming handed her the wine glass: "Just one sip."

Nanyue took a sip, but was choked by the strong aroma of the wine and frowned.

Wuming raised the corners of his lips, drank the rest of the wine in the cup, and exclaimed: "Good wine!"

Wuming threw a small piece of gold to the man directly: "Yes, half a catty."

The gold that Wuming gave was far more than the price of half a catty of wine. The man was overjoyed, he neatly poured the wine, wrapped it in a delicate cloth bag, and delivered the wine to Wuming respectfully.

"Shopkeeper, the dilapidated courtyard next door was calculated by the god of the king?" The Wuming fox smiled, and got straight to the point, "We sisters were famous to come to the god of the king, but we couldn't find anyone. Instead, we bought you by coincidence. Good wine... Shopkeeper, do you know where that Wang Shen is now?"

The man's expression froze, and the corners of his lips twitched in embarrassment.

Wuming hugged Nanyue's shoulders and smiled harmlessly.

The orchid in front of her smiled so beautifully that it won people's hearts away, but the man felt a chill behind him for no reason.In the end, he looked at the gold nugget in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Then Wang Shensuan...has already left."

"What's going on?" Wuming raised his eyebrows.

The man looked around and after making sure that there was no one nearby, he said in a low voice: "That Wang Shen is a very good man, he has helped many people in the city, but it is a pity that he offended the Huang landlord's family, so he was kicked out by the county magistrate. "

"That county magistrate Liu?"

"No, no, no...!" The man hurriedly waved his hands, "Magistrate Liu is a good man, the one who drove their family away was, was the former County Magistrate Jiang."

Seeing that Wuming wanted to ask more questions, the man simply explained: "That was all a year ago. There used to be a yellow landlord in our city. He... just, I dare not say more. At that time, a man named Luo His younger brother disappeared, and Sister Luo had nowhere to ask for help, so she finally found Wang Xian. Wang Xian was kind, and helped to figure out that Luo’s younger brother was in the Huang Landlord’s house. , sent someone to drive them away."

"The Huang family and Jiang county magistrate..." Wuming hit the point straight.

The man was so frightened that he shook his head again and again: "Girl, don't ask any more questions, I really don't dare to say more. If it weren't for three months ago, the landlord Huang's family moved into the capital with the county magistrate Jiang to be an official. None of these words will be spoken to you."

Wuming nodded lightly, turned around and left with Nanyue.

Coincidentally, a gust of wind blew, and Wuming's cloak was blown away, revealing the sharp point of the machete at his waist.

The man stared at the scimitar in a daze for a moment, he lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something, stomped his feet and chased after him: "Girl..."

"If you want to do the math for Wang Shen, maybe you can go to the old house of the Huang family in the east of the city to see it yourself." The man said softly, "I'm just a commoner, I dare not say anything else, but maybe you can see it yourself if you go and see it yourself." understand what."

Wuming murmured repeatedly: "The Huang family in the east of the city..."

"Yes, it's in the bamboo forest in the east of the city. The Huang family has now moved into the capital, and there is no one there except for a few guards." The man replied.

The two thanked each other and went straight to the east of the city.

This time they didn't walk over slowly, Wuming directly hugged Nanyue, and swept up quickly and silently, flying over the eaves and walls, with the sound of wind, and soon arrived at a sea of ​​bamboos.

An uninhabited house was built in the depths of the bamboo sea. The house was so big that it was almost half the size of a prince's mansion.Although there is no human voice inside, there is no sign of desertion. The trees and flowers are extremely clean, and it is obvious that they are often taken care of.

Wuming stood on the bamboo grove and carefully scanned around. After confirming that there were only four guards at the gate, he directly picked up a small stone as a hidden weapon, knocked out all the guards, and directly dragged Nanyue into the Huang family compound. .

All kinds of flowers and plants are planted in the yard. It is the time when all kinds of flowers are in full bloom, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers.But Wuming had a keen sense of smell, and under the cover of the scent of flowers, she actually smelled a very faint smell of blood.

Wuming took Nanyue into his arms: "This yard is weird."

Nanyue nodded slightly, and obediently curled up in Wuming's arms.

Wuming sniffed it carefully, and found that in addition to the fishy smell, there was also a lingering rancid smell, but these two smells were too weak, and the source could not be found at all.

The two searched the courtyard carefully, but found nothing, and walked carefully into the main hall.Although the Huang family's house was spacious, the room was empty, and all the valuable furniture and decorations had been removed. It is not known whether the Huang family moved the things to the capital, or if they were stolen.

Walked around in the main hall and found nothing, Wuming pushed the door and entered the side hall.Unexpectedly, the moment the door opened, there was a strong fishy smell coming from inside!This side hall turned out to be the source of the stench!

"Ahem..." Nanyue covered her mouth and nose and coughed twice, she did not forget to take out a silk handkerchief from her bosom, and sent it to Wuming's nose.

"It's okay, I'm used to this smell when I was in Weibei." Wuming felt warm, squeezed Nanyue's wrist, and sent her little hand back.

Wuming's nose twitched slightly, her brows furrowed, she realized that this room was not the source of the smell.

There is another mystery in the room.

Wuming led Nanyue to explore the room, and found a switch on the bookshelf!The bookshelf turned over, and a secret room appeared in front of the two of them, and there should be the real source of the smell.

Wuming walked in front, stepped in with half a foot, but suddenly stopped.

Wuming turned her head and looked at Nanyue's clear black eyes full of curiosity and inquiry, she couldn't help but smile helplessly, and rubbed her head: "Nanyue, wait for me outside, don't run around, speak up immediately if there is any danger. "

Nanyue originally wanted to follow into the secret room, but after seeing Wuming's serious expression, she also nodded seriously: "Yes! Wuming, don't worry, I also have internal strength now, and I can protect myself well."

Wuming nodded, she was sure that the entire Huang family was empty now, so she felt relieved to leave Nanyue alone in the room.

"Huh..." Wuming let out a long breath after entering the secret room, with a complicated expression on his face.

This secret room...is actually covered with countless unsightly scrolls. The walls, floor, and roof are all filled with disgusting white flowers at a glance.Although Wuming occasionally reads the Lily book, he really doesn't have much interest in it.But the second master has a wide range of hobbies and is extremely perverted. When Wuming helped him pack the books, he couldn't help but glance at them a few times. Over time, he read countless books.Even she would feel disgusted, which shows how dirty the contents of these scrolls in the room are.

And Wuming noticed that the people in the painting turned out to be handsome young men.

Unexpectedly, the landlord of the Huang family would have such a hobby.

Wuming suppressed his nausea, the short sword came out of his body, the two-foot short sword went out to sea like a dragon, and the momentum of the sword gang was like a rainbow.

In just a split second, pieces of paper flew in the secret room like snowflakes.

The picture scroll was broken into pieces, and Wuming could clearly see the layout of the secret room. Except for a desk and two strangely shaped benches, there was nothing in the secret room.Wuming cut off the bench and table with a sword gang at a distance, so as not to dirty his dagger.

But still nothing happened.

This is just an ordinary secret room, there is no secret passage, no mechanism, and even after the door of the secret room is opened, the smell of blood dissipates for a while, and it is lighter than the outside... Wait, the smell of blood!

When Wuming first discovered the secret room, he subconsciously thought that the fishy smell came from here, but now it seems that the smell in the secret room is only accumulated here because there has been no ventilation for a long time, and this is not the source of the fishy smell at all!That's the outer wing!

Wuming clenched the dagger tightly, turned his head and swept out of the secret room.

The huge side hall was still the same as before, but Nanyue disappeared, leaving only a handkerchief on the ground.

Wuming didn't even hear a sound just now.

Nameless's deep gray eyes were unmoved, and his complexion couldn't be calmer.But just like the ocean before the storm, it only needs a little thunder to detonate, and the entire ocean will turn up terrifying waves.

She clenched the hilt of her sword tightly and didn't move.

The few furniture in the room were shattered by the sword energy.

……

When Wuming walked into the secret room, Nanyue stood obediently in the side hall, tilting her head curiously to look at the layout of the room.

Just like the main hall, all the valuable furniture in the side hall has been removed, leaving only a bookshelf and a huge carpet.It is strange that there is a thick layer of dust on the carpet, but the bookshelves are clean.

Although the Huang family has moved out, the whole yard is as clean as ever. Someone is obviously taking care of it, but why didn't this carpet be cleaned?

Nanyue squatted down in front of the carpet, and removed the handkerchief covering her mouth and nose.

During the two lifetimes, she had lived among wolves for eight full years, and she had long been used to the stench of blood and carrion.But Nanyue's cough in front of Wuming just now was not faked. She had been away from the wolves for too many years, and her body was already weak, so she was indeed choked.

Nanyue's nose twitched slightly, confirming the source of the bloody smell.

Just under this rug.

She stretched out her little hand to pull up the carpet, and was about to call out to Wuming, but her body fell down unexpectedly.

"Sister——! Mmm..." It was too late.

Nanyue fell into the darkness, and there was a piercing pain in her hands, as if her fingers were accidentally scratched by the uneven wall when she fell.

Nanyue instinctively put her fingers into her mouth, licked the bleeding wound, and stood up with trembling legs.She blinked, gradually adapting to the dark environment.

She is now in a lightless space, with a long and narrow corridor in front of her, and the smell of blood around her is a hundred times stronger than that in the side hall.

Clearly this is the source of the smell.

As for the top... Nanyue raised her head and found that the place where she fell just now was closed, and no light came in.

"Nameless...!" Nanyue tried to shout a few times, but couldn't hear anything except her own echo.

There were echoes in the dark space, and a gust of wind blew from nowhere, carrying a strong smell of blood.

Nanyue shuddered, her fingers trembling slightly.

She tried to calm herself down.

Now I should find a way to find the agency and leave here, otherwise Wuming will find out that she has disappeared from above, I don't know how worried I will be!Nanyue gritted her teeth, suppressed her fear, and forced herself to walk forward while leaning on the wall.

The wall surface was very rough, making Nanyue's fingers ache.

The further they walked, the stronger the fishy and putrid smell became, making Nanyue almost breathless, and instinctively wanted to bend over and retch.

Finally came to the end of the corridor.

Turning the corner is the direction where the cold wind blows, and you should be able to find the mechanism to leave here.

However, when Nanyue saw the scene in front of her, she staggered back a few steps uncontrollably.

There was a small prison at the corner, the walls and floor were covered with mottled blood, and in the center of the prison, a rotting corpse was hung by iron chains. The strong rotten smell came from the corpse.

The bird's nest of the rotting corpse was sunken, and its face was already rotten. It was hoisted up by iron chains and forced to keep its head, staring straight ahead.

Nanyue took several steps back, covered her lips, and tried her best to restrain the urge to cry out in fear.

Suddenly a gust of wind blows.

The rotten neck finally couldn't support the weight of the corpse, and the corpse suddenly broke from the neck and fell to the ground like a pile of mud.

Nanyue's legs trembled unceasingly, and she fell backwards.

A pair of gentle hands caught her, and then the familiar cold fragrance wafted over, almost overshadowing the strong rancid stench.

"Don't be afraid." Wuming said softly.
