chance world

The warm smile and patient comfort made Yun Yi's fear and worry fade away a lot. She was startled by her embarrassing action at the moment, and immediately let go of her hand. However, someone behind couldn't back away, so she had to bow her head and blushed no longer. When speaking, annoyance, embarrassment, shyness, and all kinds of emotions came out for a while.

Lu Weixi took Ding Qiyu's gentle comfort into his eyes, and felt sore in his heart. He lowered his eyes and unconsciously tightened his clothes on his chest. Ding Qiyu felt the movement of her little hands, and turned his head to see that Xi'er was still in his arms. , had no choice but to pat Lu Weixi on the shoulder and comfort her softly: "Xi...Weixi, it's okay, don't worry. I'll be right back."

Wei Xi pouted her cherry lips subconsciously when she heard the words, feeling uncomfortable and worried, but she couldn't stop it anymore, so she had to get out of Ding Qiyu's arms a little, leaving a place for her to leave.

"Don't wander around, I'll go back as soon as I go." Ding Qiyu squeezed out from the people on both sides, pulled out the impermanence around his waist, stretched out a long sword, and walked towards the two weird phosphorous fires.

"Wait, bring the lamp!" Lu Weixi took the lantern from the frightened Qing'er beside him and handed it to Ding Qiyu.

Ding Qiyu took the lantern, and as soon as he took two steps, the two will-o'-the-wisps went out one after another, as if two cunning ghosts had discovered Ding Qiyu's approach and hid, causing the girls behind them to scream again, some People didn't dare to look at it anymore, and some people were so frightened that they hugged the people around them and cried.But no one dared to run away, fearing that they would be eaten by ghosts if they were left alone.

"Qi Yu!" Lu Weixi called out again, worried.Yun Yi also squeezed her handkerchief tightly, thin sweat had already soaked through her clothes.

"It's okay! It's just that the phosphorous fire has gone out, everyone, don't be afraid!" Ding Qiyu said so, but he was actually quite flustered, and the closer he got, the more frightened he became.The sky was already very dark, and after the phosphorous fire was extinguished, there was a choking smell at the tip of his nose, which made even Ding Qiyu, who knew that the phosphorous fire was a natural phenomenon, not dare to approach it.

Stopping, Ding Qiyu took a deep breath, raised Wuchang sword, raised the lantern in his hand and whispered: "Wuchang Xie Bi'an knows me, I'm afraid you little devils will fail?!" Give yourself a dose of strength After the white smoke from the phosphorous fire dissipated, and there was almost no possibility of re-ignition, he quickly stepped forward and found the place where the will-o’-the-wisp appeared just now. He raised the lamp with one hand, and tried a few times with the tip of Wuchang’s sword with the other. , found traces of soil loosening, if there is no will-o'-the-wisp to investigate, it would not be visible at all.

Ding Qiyu frowned, feeling a bad premonition in his heart, put the lantern on the ground, looked at the Wuchang sword in his hand, reluctant to damage the blade, harvested it into a dagger shape, put it on the scabbard, and then Start digging up.The more you dig, the heavier the bad feeling, because the soil in this place has obviously been touched.After digging dozens of times, a piece of light blue embroidered fabric appeared in the soil. Ding Qiyu's eyes widened, and he dug up the soil next to the fabric with his hands, revealing a piece of rotten flesh. Ding Qiyu was startled, biting Gritting his teeth and digging a few more times, he finally recognized that it was a rotten arm. The bones had rotted in many places, and the unpleasant smell rushed into his nostrils. Ding Qiyu's scalp was numb, and he didn't dare to dig any more. , Subconsciously took two steps back, nausea and fear surged.

Seeing her fierce reaction, Lu Weixi hurriedly asked, "Qiyu? What's the matter?" She took a step and wanted to go there, but was held back by Qing'er and Qu Ruochen beside her.In Yun Yi's heart, she was more worried than afraid, but it was a pity that with Qi Yu's true love by her side, she, a "friend", couldn't do anything.

Ding Qiyu held his chest to gather his mind, suppressed the desire to vomit, turned around and glanced at the female students in light blue jackets and skirts, confirmed his guess, and then said to the crowd: "Quickly, inform the imperial envoy, Wu, Miss Wu, I found it!"

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and everyone was stunned.A moment later there was a commotion of panic.

"What did you say?" Zhao Tianran squeezed out from the crowd and found it in the soil. Isn't that dead? !Zhao Tianran didn't believe what Ding Qiyu said, and ran up quickly, wanting to prove that this man was talking nonsense.

Ding Qiyu quickly stopped her: "Don't, don't look, you can't bear it!"

"Get out of the way!" Zhao Tianran yelled, her eyes were red and her emotions were out of control. Miss Wu was her close friend in her boudoir who had played with her since she was a child. She really couldn't accept this kind of blow.

"Calm down, calm down!" Ding Qiyu forcibly controlled her, fearing that this person would collapse when he saw the scene behind him.Although she is not familiar with Ms. Wu at all, when she was a classmate, she felt extremely uncomfortable when she saw the arm in the dirt, let alone this princess?

"Go away, I'll tell you to go away!" With tears streaming down Zhao Tianran's eyes, she cried ferociously, "Let me go, let me go!" She couldn't stand the blow, and her body went limp , fainted.

Ding Qiyu could only catch her fallen body, and said to the crowd: "Who are you, go and call someone!" Then he said anxiously to Zhao Tianran's servant girl, "You, quickly help your princess! She passed out It's gone!" The servant girl who was fierce and savage before was also frightened at the moment, and she came to her senses only after hearing Ding Qiyu's shout, and hurried to help Zhao Tianran who had fainted.

Seeing this, Lu Weixi turned to Qing'er and said, "Qing'er, follow me to find someone!" No one responded to Qi Yu's words, and she didn't know how to call out the two female guards. People will not take the initiative to come out, so she can only respond to Qi Yu herself.

When Ding Qiyu heard this, he suddenly felt that his arrangement in a hurry was not right. She couldn't bear to see Xi'er and the two of them looking for someone. What if they encountered bad people along the way, he quickly said: "Looking at the situation, Miss Wu was killed by a bad person. It's dead, it's not a ghost, everyone, please don't leave alone, wait for me here, I'll find someone!" After saying that, he picked up the lantern and ran to the south area of ​​the academy, and after running for a short distance, he happened to meet a patrol officers and soldiers.

After explaining the reason, he brought the officers and soldiers back to Tupo as quickly as possible. As expected, everyone did not leave after hearing her words. Ding Qiyu led the people to the location of the ghost fire, took a glance and dared not look again: "It's here .”

The officers and soldiers looked into the soil and were terrified. The leader immediately ordered one of his subordinates: "Go and invite your lord to come here!"

"I, can we go back..." A female student asked, and several people immediately echoed. When something like this happened to a classmate, each of them was very scared in their hearts, and they dared not stay here anymore to bury the body It's always safer to go back to your lodgings in the woods.

The leader clasped his fists at these famous ladies and saluted: "Yes, ladies and gentlemen can go back." Then he turned to Ding Qiyu and said, "But I beg you, sir, to stay and cooperate with us in investigating the case."

As the person who found the body, it is also appropriate to stay and cooperate with the officers and soldiers in the investigation. Ding Qiyu nodded: "Okay. The villains are still at large, please send some people to escort them back."

The leader sent several officers and soldiers to escort the female students, but Lu Weixi refused to leave, and walked over to Ding Qiyu and said, "Qiyu, I will accompany you."

Ding Qiyu couldn't bear to let her suffer: "I don't know how long it will be here, Xi'er should go back and rest first."

Lu Weixi shook her head, determined to stay: "No, I want to stay with you."

Ding Qiyu's heart was soft, and he couldn't resist her, so he had no choice but to agree with her to stay.Seeing that Qing'er, who had always been timid, was terrified, Lu Weixi said to her, "Qing'er will go back with everyone first."

Although Qing'er is afraid, but nothing is more important than the young lady: "No, no, Qing'er will follow the young lady."

Lu Weixi couldn't bear it, she was obviously terribly scared and insisted: "I'm fine, Qi Yu is here."

Ding Qiyu also persuaded her: "Well, Qing'er, go back, I will protect Wei Xi." Qing'er struggled for a moment before finally deciding to leave.

Not far away, Yun Yi watched the interaction of the few people, remained silent for a while, and finally followed everyone back without saying or doing anything.With Ms. Lu by his side, I will only be the one in need...

The Imperial Envoy Wang brought a lot of people to rush there, and when he saw the scene in the soil, he immediately arranged for people to dig out the corpse.Ding Qiyu hugged Lu Weixi sideways, blocked her gaze with his body, and said softly, "Don't look at it, Xi'er."

Lu Weixi was in a very depressed mood, ignoring his usual shyness, and softly rested his forehead on Ding Qiyu's shoulder, raised his hand to gather the clothes on Ding Qiyu's chest, let Qiyu's smell wrap himself, closed his eyes and sighed: "In the academy, why does such a thing happen?" I was very sad because of the death of my classmate.

Ding Qiyu, who had never experienced such a thing, looked at the officers and soldiers carefully digging up the corpse, and sighed: "I hope the truth can be found out as soon as possible, the criminals will be brought to justice, and justice will be given to the deceased." Thinking of the assassination that Xi'er encountered on the painting boat, he tightened his arms, "Don't worry, Xi'er, I will definitely protect you."

Lu Weixi nodded slightly, thinking of something, suddenly opened his lips and said: "After going back..." After a pause, he continued in a low voice, "Just tell Dad about us..." Maybe it was a sad mood It touched the fragility in her heart, and she just wanted to quickly settle down with her sweetheart, blossom and bear fruit, so she mustered up the courage to say these words.

Ding Qiyu's body froze, bitterness spread from his heart, he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.

Lu Weixi didn't wait for the expected response, so she raised her head from Ding Qiyu's arms, her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, she carefully looked at her sweetheart in front of her and called out, "Qiyu?"Don't want to marry yourself?

Ding Qiyu didn't dare to look her directly in the eyes, so he hugged her back into his arms, pretending to be happy and said: "Xi'er, I, I'm just too happy, I didn't realize it for a while. Okay, I'll say as soon as I get back. Everything, make it clear..."

Lu Weixi didn't think much about it, and then her anxious heart fell back to its original place, leaning on Ding Qiyu's shoulder, reaching out to hug her waist, and said softly: "Yes."

The officers and soldiers had already dug out the corpses. Under the slope, there were not only the corpses of Ms. Wu, but also the corpses of the servant girl beside her. Ding Qiyu, who was thinking wildly, put aside the pain in his heart for the time being. The corpse regretted it with just one glance, and the hairs all over its body stood on end.The clothes on the corpse were in a mess, and the exposed large pieces of flesh were rotten and tattered, emitting a foul smell.When Lu Weixi heard the movement, she also wanted to look up, but was immediately pushed back by Ding Qiyu: "Don't, Xi'er, don't look at it!"
