Yo, lost the jade seal?

Lai Yu covered his ears, closed his eyes impatiently, and leaned against the wall, waiting for the crying to stop.

The few people sitting around seemed to have no intention of persuading the child.

Immediately afterwards, there was another chewing sound, and each mouthful directly hit Lai Yu's cochlea.

Lai Yu had never heard such a piercing chewing sound, accompanied by crying, it kept hitting Lai Yu's heart.

Ye Qiubai felt uncomfortable listening to it, but he was more patient than Lai Yu, watching the whole family.

The few people who were expressionless at first turned grim expressions when they were eating, and stretched their hands into the basin, snatching out the blood-stained flesh and blood, and swallowed, the corners of their mouths were covered with sticky flesh and blood residue, as if reincarnated of the starving ghost.

Ye Qiubai's stomach was churning when he saw it, and his face was so pale that he still waited for them to finish eating.

The eyes suddenly went dark, and the warm palms were protecting the eyes, the palms full of calluses were still slightly scratching the eyes.

Ye Qiubai subconsciously covered the hand covering his eyes, leaned back slightly, and bumped into the hard chest.

"Don't look, let's go in." Behind him, Lai Yu's breathing sounded.

His eyes lit up again, and Lai Yu was already standing in front of the door, ready to kick the door.

Ye Qiubai turned his expression around, clenched the hilt of his sword tightly, and took cover from the side.

Kicking open the door, Lai Yu rushed in.

Then, time froze.

Lai Yu looked at the dark room in astonishment, not knowing how to react.

Ye Qiubai also entered the room, and had the same reaction as Lai Yu.

The empty house seemed to have never been lived in.

Ye Qiubai opened the tinderbox, stepped forward to light the candle, the cracked candle wick crackled for a while, the flame danced and jumped up, illuminating the whole room.

Lai Yu touched the table, got dust on his hands, looked up at Ye Qiubai suspiciously.

Ye Qiubai shook his head, confused.

The two looked around the room again and found several sets of clothes in the closet.

Lai Yu picked it up and shook it vigorously, dust filled most of the room, Ye Qiubai covered his nose with a handkerchief, and moved away from Lai Yu.

In the flying dust, Lai Yujing stood still, touching the stubble that had just sprouted on her chin, staring at the disheveled clothes in a daze, murmuring something.

Ye Qiubai held back the dust, came to Lai Yu's side again, and asked, "What did you find?"

Lai Yunu pursed his lips, rubbed his stubble a few more times, and said, "There are four sets of children's robes here, but we only saw one child outside."

"Could it be the robe that this child grew up with?" Ye Qiubai speculated.

Lai Yu shook his head: "My son, you may not know that there is a shortage of materials in the desert, and a foot of cloth is torn apart and seamed, and only willing to throw it away until it is worn out. How could it be possible for these sets of robes to be left unused."

Ye Qiubai blushed for a while at Lai Yu's words, and then thought to himself that this case still depends on his daily experience, and he felt a little more trust in Lai Yu.

"Then, where did the child go?" Lai Yu couldn't figure it out, talking to himself, wandering around the room, but couldn't find any clues.

Ye Qiubai was afraid that Lai Yu would be entangled to death here, so he persuaded: "Let's stop here today, we will come to investigate again tomorrow."

Without waiting for Lai Yu's reaction, Ye Qiubai pulled Lai Yu's sleeve and walked out.

"Lao Lai, what do you think we caught?" The two met Ding Xi as soon as they left the house.

Ding Xi held a child in his hand and held it up in front of Lai Yu ostentatiously.

The child was thin and disfigured, with a dusty face and a pair of big eyes looking around in horror.

The child was neither noisy nor noisy, like a mute, obediently let Ding Xi carry him.

"You're so rude!" Mu Qing patted Ding Xi's hand, took the child from his hand, held the child in his arms and straightened the child's messy hair.

Lai Yu and Ye Qiubai looked at each other, and tacitly stepped forward to brush the child's hair to examine carefully.

"It's not the child in the house." Lai Yu and Ye Qiubai said.

"Looking at his body shape, he should not be the owner of those robes." Ye Qiubai analyzed.

"Then who is he?" Looking at each other, the two asked tacitly.

"I don't know, I was caught on the road just now." Ding Xi interjected, interrupting their train of thought, "On the way here, this kid suddenly jumped under Mr. Sandao's robe, scaring him so much that he almost lost his soul, and then I brought him here."

As soon as Ding Xi finished reporting, three dark faces came from the fork in the road.

The child who was quietly in Mu Qing's arms, after seeing San Dao, nimbly passed through Mu Qing's arm, and ran under San Dao's robe with bare feet.

With three necks and a stalk, he jumped three steps in horror, avoiding the child under his crotch.

The child persisted and burrowed under the three robes again.

Lai Yu and Ding Xi watched the three scurrying around with happy faces.

"What are you doing in a daze! Come and catch him!" San Dao shouted at Ding Xi, this time, he was really in a hurry.

Ding Xi restrained his smile, grabbed the child with his big hand, and lifted the child up again.

Sandao sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

The child's eyes were still fixed on San Dao, those big eyes were full of innocence and grievance.

Lai Yu couldn't help but come to the child, blocked the figure of San Dao, bent down and asked, "Who are you?"

The child shook his head.

"Do you recognize this house?" Lai Yu pointed to the Tsuchiya beside him.

The child shook his head.

Lai Yu forced a smile and continued to ask: "What about your parents?"

The child shook his head.

Lai Yu clenched his fists tightly, and turned to San Dao with his mouth tightly shut: "I think he likes you quite a bit, why don't you ask?"

Sandao blew his beard and stared for a while, but didn't dare to reply for a while.

While worrying, a group of footsteps came rushing here in unison.

Ye Hongtu was even more frowning than the others, and from now on, he hurriedly complained: "Our carriage is gone."

"Carriage?" Lai Yu was surprised.

Ye Hongtu brought a lot of people, and they left them outside the village. It was only after midnight, and they disappeared out of thin air! This is simply a big joke.

Seeing that Lai Yu didn't believe it, Ye Hongtu hurriedly repeated: "It's really gone, and we can't get out."

"What do you mean?" Lai Yu half-believing and half-questioning, no one would believe it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

Ye Hongtu stood upright in front of Lai Yu, showing that he was worried, his frown remained on, it seemed that the situation was not optimistic.

"In the middle of the night, the guards of the convoy came to report that our carriages and horses had suddenly disappeared. At that time, I didn't believe it as much as you did. I went to the village to check in person. There was no trace in the empty desert, so I sent someone to look for it. Guess what? .”

"How?" Lai Yuxin agreed, and knew that there was even worse news waiting for them.

"The people I sent appeared at the end of the village. I asked them why they came back. They said that they had been looking for a carriage along the main road, but they came back for some reason. Many people I sent were like this." Ye Hongtu sighed deeply. In one breath, it has reached the point where there is no other way, otherwise, he would not have come to Lai Yu.

Lai Yu's side was already having a headache, and when he heard the strange thing here, he fell silent.

This is to trap them here.

"What is this?" Ye Hongtu inquired about the child in Ding Xi's hands.

"This is a child." Ding Xi replied holding up the child.

Ye Hongtu choked, but was speechless.

"Why did a child suddenly appear here?" Ye Hongtu became cautious. It was really strange that a child suddenly appeared at this moment.

On second thought, isn't this the key to solving the case?

Ye Hongtu yelled at the child directly, "Say! Where did you come from!"

The child looked at Ye Hongtu in horror, his lips trembled in fright, and tears rolled in his eyes.

"Speak up, or I will sew your mouth shut and make you dumb for the rest of your life!" Ye Hongtu threatened fiercely.

Ye Qiubai looked at the child with a solemn expression. Ye Hongtu has always been strict in doing things, and he will definitely do what he says, no matter who is being trained.

Just as he was about to plead for mercy, Mu Qing sneered: "Even the children are not spared, they are some beasts!"

Mu Qing's high-pitched voice spread throughout the night.

Ye Hongtu turned his head and shouted at him: "If you can take me out of this damn place, I won't have to do this anymore! Don't talk if you don't have the skills!"

Mu Qing got annoyed, stood up abruptly, pinched his waist and shouted to Ye Hongtu: "Grandpa, I don't need to be an animal to go out!"

"You..." Ye Hongtu became angry, turned around and no longer entangled with Mu Qing, and directly put his sword on the child's neck, and shouted: "I will ask you one more time, where did you come from? If you don't say anything, I will directly Cut off your head!"

The child was so frightened that he froze on the spot, tears streaming down his face, his face was disfigured from crying, he bit his lip and dared not make a sound.

But his eyes shifted to the three behind him, with a face of life and death.

Feeling that gaze, San Dao's body trembled, and his whole body went limp.

Having lived such an old age and experienced countless lives, he has long seen through the parting of life and death. At this moment, San Dao has an unspeakable reluctance for life.

For some reason, the steps under my feet moved forward.

One step at a time, Lai Yu came to Ye Hongtu in front, pressed down his raised sword, and persuaded with Yan: "Governor Ye, don't be so irritable, it's not impossible to get out here."

Ye Hongtu withdrew his sword half-believingly, and asked, "What method?"

"Wait for dawn." Lai Yu said casually, trying to delay the time.

This dark night is so inconvenient, it is easy to make people irritable, maybe the road will turn around at dawn, the carriage will appear, and they set off smoothly.

Unusual things can only be found in unusual ways.

Ye Hongtu looked at Lai Yu and thought for a moment, then said: "If you still can't get out at dawn, then don't blame me for being cruel."

Lai Yu shrugged and smiled, thinking to himself: It's like you can get out if you are ruthless, barbaric!

Ye Hongtu glanced at the child again, turned around and shouted, "Let's go!"

The entourage followed Ye Hongtu and left in a sparse manner.

Ye Qiubai breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and asked, "Can we really go out at dawn?"

Lai Yu snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "It depends on your mood."

After finishing speaking, he patted Ye Qiubai's shoulder: "I'm so sleepy, go back to sleep."

Dangling, Lai Yu walked towards the fork in the road.

Ye Qiubai stood still on the spot, thinking about Lai Yu's words.

Behind him, Mu Qing and Ding Xi came with their children.

Passing by Ye Qiubai, Mu Qing stopped and said coldly: "Be prepared for the war tomorrow, I hope you will not become our enemy."

After finishing speaking, he and Ding Xi left the fork in the road.

San Dao lost his mind and left after him.

Ye Qiubai frowned, looked at the few people leaving with a vague understanding, and followed them wordlessly.
