I didn't become a human today

This little bit of food only lasted for an hour, and Ji Ran was hungry again.

He didn't understand what kind of unexplainable anger his owner was making, and he didn't give him food or drink, so he could only go out with his tail drooping aggrieved, and walked himself.

It was snowing outside again, and it was so cold that splashing water turned into ice.There were fewer people on the street, and the rime on the side of the road was covered with long sword-like icicles, which swayed jinglingly when the wind blew, Ji Ran didn't dare to go under the tree for fear of being hit.

Trot all the way along the base of the wall, solved the dog's emergency, planed twice on the hind legs, buried in the snowdrift, returned along the original road, just took two steps, and heard the man behind him scolding his mother.

"It's really unlucky to step on dog shit when you go out!"

Ji Ran shrank his neck, not daring to stay for too long, fearing that the man would catch him and beat him to death, so he hurried back.

A gust of wind was blowing towards him, and as he was running, Ji Ran noticed something was wrong.

Merry has a smell of blood with a rotten smell. He has smelled this smell from the blood corpse before. Could it be that there are blood corpses here?Too bad, I have to go back and inform Young Master Liang.

He rushed back to the inn, threw open the door, the room was filled with fog, and there was even the sound of water behind the screen.

Ji Ran panted heavily, "No...it's terrible..."

Before he finished speaking, he was reprimanded by the person behind the screen, "Close the door!"

Ji Ran swallowed subconsciously, "Are you taking a bath?" The dog legs unconsciously went around behind the screen, only seeing two long legs for a while.

Liang Xingye quickly put on his clothes, his hair was a little wet, he closed the door helplessly, rolled up his sleeves subconsciously, and tied up his long hair, "What's wrong? He's in a panic."

Ji Ran faltered, his mouth felt dry all of a sudden, he dawdled for a while before talking about the serious matter.

"I smell blood corpses in the wind, this town is not safe."

Liang Xingye has already put on all his clothes at this moment, but he still looks a little thin. No one in Musong Town would wear them like him. People without cultivation will soon be frozen to death in such a bad weather environment. .

He carried a blunt sword and was about to go out to search for blood corpses. Ji Ran used his claws to slap him, "Don't you wear more?"

"No problem. How's your sense of smell?"

"After becoming a dog, my sense of smell is so good that no smell can escape my nose."

Liang Xingye said nothing, and poked his ear with the scabbard with a half-smile, "You go ahead, I'll follow you."

After leaving the inn, the smell of blood corpses was very obvious in the air.Ji Ran pressed his nose to the ground to trace the source of the smell, and led Hoshino to an abandoned dyeing workshop.

"It's here." Ji Ran was very sure.

The door of the dyeing workshop was half-closed, passers-by shrank their necks and hurried on their way with their hands in their sleeves, and some nosy ones came forward to say hello.

"Why, looking for someone? The dyeing workshop has been abandoned for a long time, and there is no one living here. It's getting dark, and it's snowing heavily tonight. I think you're dressed so thinly, so go back as soon as possible."

After the man finished speaking, he left.

Hoshino knelt down in front of the door and brushed off the layer of snow on the surface with his hands, revealing half of the bright red footprints underneath.

"This is blood." Ji Ran sniffed it, "What was left by the blood corpse must be inside. My nose can't lie."

The wooden door of the dyeing workshop was loosely closed, and the word "Fu" was pasted upside down on the door. The black characters on the red background were eroded by the years, and they looked a little pale.

Open the door and go in, the yard is full of dye vats.

The cylinder wall is black, fired with a layer of uneven glaze water, cheap but very practical.The dyeing vats were half buried by the snow, and part of them was still exposed outside. A layer of snow had accumulated around the mouth of the vats. Some were covered, and some were not. Covered with snow again.

Once inside, Ji Ran's nose didn't work much, because the dyeing workshops were full of pungent smells of dyes. Although they had been abandoned for a long time, some dyeing vats were still filled with water for dyeing cloth, and the smell was strong. Smell.

Now that the large area has been determined, they only need to find the blood corpses and get rid of them.

Ji Ran sneezed a few times and began to wander around the house, while Liang Xingye stood in the yard, checking the dye vats one by one.

There were a few bolts of fabric left in the dyeing house, all of which were chewed into strips by mice.The contents inside were basically emptied, except for a huge wooden cabinet placed in the center, which was unusually eye-catching.

Ji Ran walked towards the cabinet with full vigilance...

Outside, Liang Xingye lifted the lid of the dye vat, and saw a bright red in the vat.The outline of some fabrics can be vaguely seen inside, like a person lying in it.After breaking the ice, it was discovered that the cloth had been soaked in the red dye vat and forgot to take it out, and it was frozen into ice.

There was a loud noise in the room, and Ji Ran yelled "Oh".

Before Liang Xingye had time to think about it, he grabbed the blunt sword and rushed in.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Ji Ran shook the dog's head, "I just want to see what's inside, who knew that the cabinet was so unstable, it fell down and almost hit me."

He took a few steps forward, and the dog's paws pulled something out of the wooden block, "There is a spirit card, it's strange, who would put the spirit card in the cabinet to pay homage to?"

In addition to the spirit card, there are also a few offerings that have been frozen hard.

At this time, the person who talked to them outside the door came in, "I said that there is no one inside, what are you doing here?"

The old man, who looked about sixty or seventy years old, picked up the spirit card as soon as he came in, and wiped it again and again.

"Whose spirit card is this?" Liang Xingye asked him.

The old man wiped the tablet with his sleeve, chose a clean place, and offered the tablet, "This is my son's tablet."

He sighed deeply, "This dyeing workshop belongs to our family, and it was originally waiting for him to inherit it, but what about him... In the end, it was his fate that fell in love with the daughter of the Mayor of Cangxue City. There was a fire in the city, the daughter of the city lord was trapped, I, a foolish boy, rushed into the fire without saying anything, and lost my life in vain!"

When the old man said this, his face was full of despair, and he burst into tears.

"The only incense burner has been cut off. How can I still care about this dyeing workshop, so this property is so abandoned. Every time my wife sees my son's spiritual tablet at home, I will become crazy. I can't find a way. Enshrine the spirit of your son here."

Hearing this, Liang Xingye frowned, "Are you sure that what you enshrine here is only your son's spirit?"

Ji Ran's ears perked up, did he discover something?

Sure enough, after the old man heard it, he immediately became nervous.

"This is my family's dyeing workshop, you go!"

Liang Xingye stood where he was, and the blunt sword was drawn out of its sheath quickly.

"Bang bang bang!" Dye vats were smashed one after another...
