"What are you doing here?"

"What were you doing just now?"

Li Chengying pretended to be Huixian's brother, and took her captive to a secluded place rebelliously. Wu Beichi and Li Chengying almost spoke in unison, which made Huixian shrink back in fright.

She was so arrogant in the past, and she didn't know what happened to her so good-tempered towards Chengying and the others today.

"Last time, the fox you met last time, where is he?" Gray Immortal crumpled the clothes Li Chengying used to wrap her up, and rubbed them awkwardly in his hands.

"You mean Bailixue?" Li Chengying frowned and asked, "He's at the station, do you want to see him?"

Huixian nodded, and said shyly: "It's good to take a sneak peek. I haven't seen the white fox family for many years. I always thought that maybe I could find some shadows of old people on him."

Speaking of peeking, both Wu Beichi and Li Chengying blushed.The last time the two of them sneaked into someone's room, but they saw something good that they shouldn't have seen, and they still feel extremely ashamed when they think about it.

But since Huixian asked to see Bailixue, she always had to fulfill her wish.The two of them thought, why not just find an excuse to come and visit when they are free in the afternoon, then let the gray fairy hide in the dark, and they can be counted as seeing each other.

Gray Immortal readily agreed.

Wu Beichi asked, "We were on the street just now, were you looking for Chengying?"

Huixian was sitting in the teahouse, and the old god was eating the pastries that Wu Beichi was treating guests to, full of the joy of seeing the white fox soon, answering every question in a happy mood.

"Yes, I wanted to see Baihu but couldn't find him, so I came to Chengying."

Li Chengying keenly sensed Wu Beichi's intentions, and quickly asked, "Then how did you find me?"

The gray fairy's big almond-like eyes blinked, and he said playfully to Chengying: "I gave you all the mana, why can't I find you? I might not be able to find you if you are far away, but you are right here Liangxi, you can find it by smelling it."

"Then you can also find other squirrel spirits who have given spells!" Li Chengying said in amazement, this is just another village.

Gray Fairy rolled his eyes at his slow comprehension, and said softly, "Of course."

"But which one are you looking for? There are too many. How do I know who you are looking for?"

"That's...that's..." Li Chengying racked his brains and couldn't figure out how to explain the specific situation of this mouse spirit to Gray Fairy. The spells on it have the same origin as Chengying. Wu Beichi couldn't tell the difference, but Huixian must have a way to identify it.Wu Beichi held down Chengying who was scratching his ears and cheeks, and said, "It still has a remnant of spiritual power left on the victim's body. If you want, you can come with us."

Li Chengying quickly threw out a huge bait: "I can steal lamp oil for you again!"

The corner of Wu Beichi's mouth twitched for a moment, and he couldn't help but raised his hand and knocked Chengying violently.

"Lamp oil can no longer be stolen. If Huixian likes the food from last time, Lingyun Mountain still has two land reserves, and I can give you both." Wu Beichi said.

Huixian shook the peach blossom cake, looked at the two people in front of her, and suddenly smiled softly.That smile is completely inconsistent with a 12-year-old girl. It is a smile that has gone through the vicissitudes of life and is relieved after looking down on the love and beauty in the world.

"I don't need lamp oil, and I don't need food."

she said.

"I have long passed the age of eating sesame oil. The sesame oil in Izumo Temple is just an obsession for me. Back then, the fox fairy never returned, which made me feel uncomfortable. I always thought that I would find some clues if I went a few more times. .”

"Thinking about it carefully, if I hadn't been coquettish and savage back then, how could I have killed the fox fairy in the middle of the thunder calamity."

"Now that you have agreed to take me to see the white fox, I will look for the rat spirit for you, so it will be considered an exchange."

Wu Beichi and Li Chengying had no other choice but to bring Huixian back to the house they had been to.The little girl saw through the crack of the door that it was the two of them returning, and opened the door to welcome the guests without asking any further questions.

This time the atom was not as quiet as last time, there was a shrill cry from the room next door, and an old woman wailed, "My child—" "My son is alive_" The little girl had a wound on her face , reluctantly smiled at the three of them.She looked older than Huixian, which made several people very embarrassed for a while.

Huixian was thick-skinned, and the old monster pretended to be a child, and approached the little girl innocently.Staring at the bruise on the other person's face, he asked, "Sister, why did you hurt your face?"

Wu Beichi also quickly asked, "Is there someone coming to make trouble?"

Li Chengying is heroic and courageous, and he likes to help poor little girls the most. Of course, he can't stand by and watch, and said: "Don't be afraid, tell us what happened, and I will uphold justice for you."

The little girl shrank back a bit, and the red and swollen eye circles were immediately covered with a layer of mist.Compared with the two big men, she was obviously more willing to trust the gray fairy who was about her age, unaware that the other party was already a hundred-year-old old monster.

"Mother is crazy." She whispered to Huixian, "Mother said that brother is still alive."

She lowered her head, tears fell drop by drop, and said slowly: "Daddy said that my brother's ghost was causing trouble, and he wanted to throw him to the mass grave. Mother didn't allow it, but mother said, this is not my brother. back."

Heavy fog.

Wu Beichi's eyes darkened, as if thinking of something, he asked eagerly, "Why did your mother say that wasn't your brother?"

There is always a blood relationship between mother and child that outsiders cannot understand, and mothers can always perceive special feelings that others cannot perceive.

The heart-to-heart connection between mother and child is not just talk.

"My brother has a birthmark on his body, but my mother can't find it." The little girl explained lonely, "but the body is already damaged, so I can't see it clearly."

Gray Fairy was already lost in thought, she took the little girl's hand, like an ordinary eleven or twelve-year-old girl, intimately sharing her body temperature with her, and giving her some comfort.

"How did you find your brother's... body?" Li Chengying also felt that something was wrong, and followed the slightest clues, trying to clear the sky.

"Brother, brother picked up a beautiful sister... Later... brother was in his room." The little girl recalled the past when she lied to you, her eyes became moist and pitiful , so that both Wu Beichi and Li Chengying couldn't bear to ask.

Huixian could only pretend to be stunned by his appearance, and exclaimed, "Your brother was sucked dry by the monster? It's terrible! Have you seen the monster!"

The little girl pursed her lips, shook her head, and cried, "I didn't see any monsters. When I saw my brother, my brother already ___" Hearing Wu Beichi and Li Chengying's glances at each other, both of them felt concerned.

They seemed to have stepped into a blind spot of thinking, and all the corpses turned into mummies. Based on the scene at the time, it seemed that it was caused by monsters sucking human essence and blood.But if you think about it carefully, there are too many strange things in it.

They have never seen the corpse in Liangxi Town with their own eyes, and the mummified corpse they have seen so far is only because the family members deduced it based on the circumstances of the incident.As for whether it is his own body or not, it is really difficult to identify.

Wu Beichi asked Gray Immortal to take care of the little girl for the time being, while he and Chengying rushed to the lobby of the mortuary they had visited not long ago.

Today's weather is not hot, but the room where the corpses are kept has a rancid and unpleasant smell.Wu Beichi shielded Chengying with one arm to prevent accidents, summoned his sword with the other hand, and pushed open the coffin lid intently.

The strong stench came over the surface, which was almost suffocating.

Li Chengying covered her mouth and nose and moved behind Wu Beichi, also investigating the situation.The corpse inside had begun to rot from the state of a mummy, and large pieces of skin and bones were glued together, dripping green corpse water, which was disgusting.

This time Li Chengying stood up and didn't spit it out on the spot. 59741, who was silenced, quietly gave him a thumbs up.

Wu Beichi turned the weightless corpse to the side, and carefully searched the shrunken and deformed back for the birthmark that the girl's mother said.

Although the skin there had turned gray and was covered with colonies of rotting corpses, after Wu Beichi's careful identification, it was true that there was no trace of a birthmark on the dry and wrinkled skin.

"Birthmarks are usually blood clots from the fetus, which remain unchanged over the years, but if a human dies, will the blood flow be changed and the birthmark disappear?" Li Chengying whispered his guess.

"You're right."

Wu Beichi nodded, and closed the coffin. He already had another guess in his mind.

"But what I said today gave me another idea." Wu Beichi asked Chengying, "From the beginning to the end, we were trapped in the blind spot of thinking, and there was no direct evidence to prove that Liangxi city and town The mummy seen here is the dead man himself."

"The appearance of the mummy is the same as that of many corpses in the wilderness in the mass graves, and because of the rumor that the monster sucks blood, we all think that the monster sucked the dead snow dry to cause this situation."

"Then is there another possibility?" Cheng Ying said in shock: "The corpses staying in place are not those victims at all. These mummified corpses were stolen from mass graves!"

"The mass grave is the gray fairy's lair, if it is true or not, please ask her to find out."

"Look for me one by one?" The two of them hadn't finished speaking, Huixian happily jumped in from the door, covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve as soon as he entered, and looked like he was about to be smoked to death.

"This... vomit..." The old man has lived in the mass grave for so long and has never smelled this smell.

Li Chengying hurried over to take her away and asked by the way: "What about the little girl?"

"Taking care of children is the most tiring." Gray Fairy said frankly, "I gave him a sleeping spell and threw him to sleep in the house."

Wu Beichi and Li Chengying looked at each other helplessly, feeling that they were like a group of bullies who rushed into someone's house today, tore up his coffin, and even knocked the owner unconscious and threw him back to sleep in the room.

"Please come here mainly to see if this corpse came from a mass grave. In addition, this is the spiritual power of some squirrels left on the body. It is really difficult for me to tell the same origin as Chengying and you. .”

"understood."

Gray Fairy rolled his eyes and approached.

"What I promised, even if I am smoked to death, I have to drag my last breath to finish it."
