Nongmen Shenjue

When Mu Qingyan woke up, he was lying on the edge of the woods, the sky above his head was full of stars.There was a bag on the open space beside him, and when he opened it, there were a change of clothes and household registration, all of which belonged to him, and besides that, there was an extra guide that didn't exist.

Rubbing between his brows, he began to recall what happened before he fell into a coma.

Previously in Jinhe Fucheng, they were stranded because the carriage broke down, and because the Jin family's affairs became more serious, they decided to wait two more days before leaving.Anyway, the road conditions are not good, the muddy road is not only slow, but also very uncomfortable, so they don't need to be too anxious.The sun is fierce in this season, just wait for a day in the sun.

Staying in Fucheng, or drinking tea and listening to books, or watching the Jin family's farce, I don't feel bored.

On the fourth night...

He remembered going out to visit the night scene as usual, and came back to wash and sleep, and it turned out... that's right!carriage!He was in a daze like a dream, feeling like he was lying on the carriage, and the carriage had been moving forward. As soon as he opened his eyes, a scent of fragrance wafted from his nose, and his consciousness fell into a deep sleep again.

Looking at the current situation, it was not a dream, he was indeed kidnapped!

But what about Wen Jixue?Who can take him away under Wen Jixue's nose?

What about the person who took him?Just leave him in the woods?

What is here again?

Questions kept popping up one after another, and he felt a dull pain in his head. He hurriedly performed the exercises taught by Wen Jixue, and gradually felt better.Being reborn in this world, it was the first time he encountered such a thing. After all, he was a little confused. In addition, he was drugged before, and his mind was still muddled.

In addition, he felt his body was very stiff and sore when he moved.

It seemed that he had been in the carriage for a long time.

I touched my stomach, I was very hungry, and I was weak inside and out. I guess I hadn't eaten for at least a day or two.I can't complain that my mind is not clear, and it has something to do with excessive hunger.

He operated his abilities to absorb the green vitality, and after washing it over and over again, his hunger was greatly relieved, and his body also recovered a little strength.He originally planned to use his mental power to investigate the surrounding situation, at least to confirm whether there was anyone hiding around, but he thought of Wen Jixue's sensitivity to mental power, so he didn't dare to be careless for a while.What if that person is also a master and detects something abnormal...

The other party's behavior is not very friendly, he has to use as little mental power as possible.

When he had almost recovered, he stood up and planned to go to find a family to ask.

Unexpectedly, a letter suddenly fell out of his arms.

The envelope was blank, but it was stuffed on him, obviously reserved for him.

With suspicion, he opened the letter—"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Let me appreciate Mr. Mu's outstanding talent with my own eyes. What is in front of you is Guanglin Mansion. Since August last year, five people have been arrested. Kill, find the answer. Kind reminder: I'm watching you, don't offend me."

The letter was not long, and there was no male or female from the handwriting. Apart from telling him the location and mission, there was very little other information.

He had encountered such a thing, more than once or twice.

When a person becomes famous, there will always be other people who are not convinced, either challenged by peers, or provoked by criminals, no matter which one is not pleasant.Or, right now, he just rejoices that the person who kidnapped him did not commit the crime.

However, he still has doubts: this hijacking was just for playing games?

Anyway, that person won't hurt him for a while.

He decided to follow the other party's arrangement first, and Wen Jixue should find him soon.

This is the woods next to the official road. Walking forward for a while, the city gate appears in the distance.There were figures walking around on the other forked roads. They were nearby villagers, pushing carts and carrying loads, gathering towards the city gate.

It means it's almost dawn.

Mu Qingyan walked very slowly, and was already covered in sweat when he reached the gate of the city.

The gate of the city had already been opened, and he entered the city, looking for a breakfast stall to eat first.Delicious wontons, no chili peppers are added, the original taste, after eating one bowl, the whole person seems to come alive.

Guanglin Mansion is a little familiar, and I can't remember how far it is from Jinhe Mansion.

It was still early, and there were not many people eating breakfast. Mu Qingyan chatted with the stall owner, and confirmed that he would come from Jinhe Mansion and take a carriage for three or four days.However, he definitely did not stay in the carriage for as long as three or four days, otherwise he would not even have the strength to walk if there was no water or rice for three or four days.

Forget it, no matter how he got here, he is already here.

Usually when going out, as long as Chen Shiliu or Wen Jixue is with him, he rarely has the chance to spend money, but he is still used to carrying enough money.This time I went back to Jinhe Mansion to buy gold jewelry. In addition to a few pieces of silver and copper plates, there were also two silver bills in denominations of 50 taels in the purse.He himself only brought [-] taels of silver notes, and the rest was entrusted by the Jin family.

Since he has money, even if he is forced to come here, he will not wrong himself.

Find the best inn and ask for a Tianzihao room.He gave Xiao Er'er some money, and even at this time of the morning, he quickly got warm bath water.

After taking a shower, I rested for a while, and my spirits were almost recovered, so I went to the lively street.

As the sun rises, the street market begins to be noisy.

Mu Qingyan went to the teahouse. There were mixed people in the teahouse, and the news was always well-informed.

I ordered a pot of tea and a plate of pastries, and took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the table.

"I want to inquire about something."

The man who delivered the tea often encountered this kind of thing, so he didn't go to get the silver right away, and said with a smile on his face, "Excuse me, my lord."

"I'm a foreigner. I heard that several people died in Guanglin Mansion recently." Mu Qingyan asked very generally.

But the buddy understood immediately after hearing it: "Yes, there is such a thing. Originally, the dead are dead, but there will be a silk wood girl in a blue gauze skirt next to every dead person. I heard that the lips and nails are painted with blood." Yes, very scary."

"How many people died in total? Tell me in detail." Mu Qingyan pushed Yinzi over.

Only then did the clerk collect the money, and he preached in great detail: "Four, the earliest one died in August last year."

The first deceased died in August last year, the night before the Mid-Autumn Festival to be precise.The deceased was named Wang Ergou, 16 years old, a street rascal who wandered around all day, and was found dead in the back alley of Yuelao Temple in the south of the city.His hands and feet were bound, his tongue was cut off, his clothes were stripped off, and his whole body was covered with whip marks, bloody and bloody.

The second deceased was Yu Xiaofu, who was only nine years old. On the night of the Laba Festival last year, he ran out to play with his friends after dinner, and he didn't come home for a long time.The family searched everywhere, but they couldn't find it. Unexpectedly, they returned home in desperation, only to find that Yu Xiaofu was tied around his neck with a hemp rope, hanging from the door of the main room, his whole face was purple and he was out of breath.

The third deceased was the daughter-in-law of the Yang family, who died at home in broad daylight on February [-] this year, the day the dragon raised his head.The person who died of poisoning drank a bowl of decoction before his death. According to his family, the medicine was just bought by his daughter-in-law from the doctor to pray for a child, but he died after taking a dose of medicine.If it weren't for the silk wood girl with a blue gauze skirt in his family, the Yang family might not have linked the death of his daughter-in-law with the other two families.

The fourth deceased was the mother of the Fan family, who was already 55 years old, considered an elderly person nowadays.The son of the Fan family is a talented scholar with a good family background, and Fan's mother has always been in good health.The eighth day of April is the Buddha Bathing Festival. Mother Fan went to a temple outside the city to offer incense and participate in a Buddhist meeting. When the sedan chair climbed the mountain, the bearer slipped, causing the sedan chair to fall to the ground. It happened to be a gentle slope. Mother Fan rolled all the way down the steps with her head Knocked, fell to death.The crowd was alarmed at that time, and when they were packing up the sedan chair, they found the silk wood girl in the blue gauze skirt.

"Only four people?" The letter said that five died, so there must be no mistake in the number of people.

"It's four, such a weird murder, if there are other dead, it's impossible not to spread the word."

At first glance, the deceased were of different genders and identities, including men and women, young and old, and they didn't even meet each other. The only similarity in the cases was that the dates of death were all on festivals.

How did the perpetrators choose their targets?

Furthermore, the first victim, Wang Ergou, died the worst, almost to death by torture. Is there any special reason?

Then, there was the silk wood girl who stayed at the scene.

What is the special meaning?

Mu Qingyan didn't know much about Juanmu Nu, so he asked the waiter in the teahouse.

The waiter in the tea house said: "This kind of silk doll is usually used to perform puppet shows. It has a head made of wood, limbs twisted with paper, and clothes made of silk. It’s the same size, the head is not made of wood, it seems to be made of rice paper, the facial features are lifelike, and it looks like it’s alive if you look at it more.”

He also said: "If you are interested, you can go to Xinghua Alley to find old man Zhang, his family's ancestral handicraft of making silk wooden figurines. Because of this, it has been interrogated by the government. This Guanglin Mansion plus the surrounding counties and towns, But anyone who has this craft, or has this thing, has been interrogated, and it seems that there is no result."

"Help me pay attention to this convenient news, and let me know if there is anything to do." Mu Qingyan gave another tael of silver and left his address.

The man nodded again and again: "Young master, don't worry, I've made a note of this matter."

Coming out of the teahouse, Mu Qingyan didn't delay, and planned to go to a shop to see what the silk wooden figure looked like with his own eyes.Without knowing the details of the behind-the-scenes, he decided to investigate step by step, otherwise the big thorn would go straight to the scene, even if the other party didn't know that he was using the ability, it would seem a bit suspicious.

Besides, he was still thinking about the sentence in the letter.

The other party asked him to find out the answer, why not find out the murderer?Is he supercilious, or does he mean something else?

There is an old shop on the corner of the street, with a narrow front, and the inside of the shop is not well lit, a bit dim.There is a plaque on the door, "puppet show".Of course, this is not a place for puppet shows, but only for various shadow puppets and silk wooden figures.

As he wished, he saw the real silk wood figure.

The author has something to say: the silk figurine, now called "silk figurine", is a very beautiful doll.
