The shopkeeper smiled bitterly, "At first, only one or two people went missing, and not many. Someone reported it to the government, and the government sent people to look for them for nearly half a month but found nothing, so the matter gradually faded. But later, more and more people went missing, and even corpses began to appear. Those corpses had no faces... all had no faces, and they scared away countless people on duty. Gradually, no one dared to take care of the murder cases in our Wuxiang Town."
He choked up and said, "Immortal, I beg you... You must find out the truth, Immortal." As he said that, he was about to kneel down to Bai Xiaoxiao and Kui Ming and bowed to them.
"Good good."
Bai Xiaoxiao hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't worry, we are here to deal with the faceless corpse. We will definitely get to the bottom of the truth."
The shopkeeper bowed twice more, and then as if remembering something, he said hurriedly, "I'll go get the two immortals some Muyu wine, as well as our specialty stir-fried beef. Wait! Wait!"
This dinner was a sumptuous one.
After eating and drinking, the shop owner enthusiastically selected two high-quality private rooms side by side for Bai Xiaoxiao and Kui Ming. When they opened the windows, they could take in the scenery of Wuxiang Town, including the clear stream, the winding arch bridge, and the lush green willows lining both sides.
Bai Xiaoxiao sat at the table with her cheeks in her hands. Kui Ming knocked on the door and came in, handing her six cents.
"What do you mean?" Bai Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Kui Ming sat opposite her and said, "The shopkeeper said that he won't take our money."
Bai Xiaoxiao sighed lightly, took the money handed to her by Kui Ming but did not put it away but put it on the table first. She supported her cheek with her right hand and frowned, and drew circles on the table with her left index finger dipped in tea.
"What's wrong?" Kui Ming asked.
Bai Xiaoxiao answered him: "Big Brother, do you think there is something wrong with this shopkeeper?"
Kui Ming was puzzled: "Where?"
Bai Xiaoxiao stood up and checked the carved wooden door to make sure it was closed. Then she came close to him and lowered her voice: "Do you think the shopkeeper is too excited?" Afraid that Kui Ming would not understand, she explained in detail, "Yes, I admit that there are many faceless corpses in the town for no reason. It is normal for people to be panicked, but do you think this shopkeeper is a little too scared?"
"No, I shouldn't say I'm afraid. I should say... hope and anticipation. His desire for the truth is a little too strong. It seems... it seems that if he can't find the faceless body, he will die."
Kui Ming nodded: "You are right."
Bai Xiaoxiao: "..."
Bai Xiaoxiao: "It's not about whether I'm right or not, it's about whether you have the same feeling."
Kui Ming said seriously: "I don't know."
Bai Xiaoxiao: "..."
So what am I looking forward to?
Kui Ming looked at Bai Xiaoxiao who was holding up her forehead, lowered his eyes and was silent for a while, then said to her: "But I can know."
"You, you know what..." Bai Xiaoxiao didn't understand what Kui Ming meant, she saw Kui Ming's black robe flash, and the whole person jumped out of the carved window, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
no……
Is it great to be able to fly?
……
The night is rich.
A bright crescent moon hangs in the sky.
Bai Xiaoxiao wrapped herself up in the quilt like a cocoon and was sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard a bang from the window.
"Who?!"
Bai Xiaoxiao was startled. She turned over and saw a man standing in front of the window. He was wearing a black robe and had a high ponytail. Kui Ming was staring at her with his back to the moonlight.
"Big Brother?" Bai Xiaoxiao was confused. "What's wrong?"
Kui Ming took three or two steps to Bai Xiaoxiao, stretched out her arm without saying a word, easily lifted it to his shoulder, and jumped out of the window again.
Bai Xiaoxiao was so confused by his torment that she realized they were standing in front of a small firewood room. The small firewood room without any lights looked extremely eerie in the dark. Bai Xiaoxiao rubbed her arms and couldn't help asking, "Where is this?"
Kui Ming replied to her: "I know the place."
"what?"
Bai Xiaoxiao didn't quite understand, but the evening breeze made her feel a little cold: "Brother, next time you call me out, can you give me time to put on some clothes first?"
She only wore a white underdress for sleeping.
Although someone like her who wears miniskirts in summer would not feel embarrassed to wear only underwear like the ancient people did, it is cold after all, and she really does not have the habit of wearing short clothes in the cold wind at night.
Kui Ming was stunned: "Aren't you wearing clothes?"
"Is this the point?" Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but complain, "The point is that I'm cold."
Kui Ming understood, "Then wait, I'll go get you a robe."
Bai Xiaoxiao disappeared without a word.
Depend on……
Once she builds her foundation she will be able to fly.
Bai Xiaoxiao rubbed her arms and looked at the woodshed in front of her. The old, rough house built with thick wood looked gloomy. Bai Xiaoxiao moved close to the door, and it was so quiet that she could not hear any sound.
Logically speaking, waiting for Kui Ming to come back would be the best option, but it was too cold tonight and she didn't want to freeze to death on the roadside.
Bai Xiaoxiao prepared herself mentally, raised her hand and gently pushed open the door. The old wooden door creaked harshly as she pushed it. She pushed the door open a tiny gap, allowing the moonlight from the night sky to slowly shine into the room.
When she looked up, she was shocked.
The layout of the woodshed was not as spacious and quiet as she had imagined. At a glance, she could see that the space in the corner was less than seven meters, and in the middle there was a tied-up person sitting there quietly with his head hung.
The crack in the door opened wider, and the moonlight illuminated her more clearly.
A coarse skirt and messy, thick long hair.
Bai Xiaoxiao approached her and half squatted down, and found that the girl had a piece of rag stuffed in her mouth, and the skin on her face was loose and rough and wrinkled like the bark of a century-old tree, but judging from her figure, she didn't look like an old woman in her seventies or eighties.
Who is she?
Why are you tied here?
Could it be that she was the reason why the store owner was so excited?
So is there any connection between her and the faceless corpse?
Countless questions flashed through Bai Xiaoxiao's mind in an instant, but she didn't know how to find the answers. She stared blankly at the girl in front of her, and didn't notice that a person was gradually approaching from behind. The person held a wooden stick in his hand and hit Bai Xiaoxiao's back of the head hard.
"what!"
Bai Xiaoxiao was startled when she heard the voice. She turned her head and saw Kui Ming with his arm draped over his robe, facing her. A man in plain clothes at his feet was holding his neck and twitching. Kui Ming stepped over him and came to her, draping the robe in his hand over her.
"Thank you, senior brother."
Bai Xiaoxiao thanked him, then looked at the person lying on the ground, squatted down, reached out her hand and turned the shivering person over.
"It's you?"
He is middle-aged and looks naive. He is the owner of the inn.
Bai Xiaoxiao sneered: "Old shopkeeper, may I ask what you are up to?"
