As soon as they entered, Ling Yujin and Yun Haoxi both felt that the courtyard was unusually quiet, and there was eerieness everywhere.Ling Yujin frowned, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, and signaled with her eyes that Yun Haoxi would follow behind her, be careful in everything, and began to search for the secret road along the way.

In the entire Xiao Mansion, there was no light other than the moonlight, and the two of them were like ghosts, swiftly walking in the darkness, soundlessly.At midnight, although it was indeed the time when people should have fallen asleep, the mayor's house had no servants at night and no guards to patrol, which was really unusual.

In such a tense and depressing atmosphere, both Ling Yujin and Yun Haoxi had their spirits up to 12, fearing that if they were not careful, they would startle the snake.The two carefully groped forward under the dim moonlight, and suddenly saw a figure flashing in front of them. In such a suffocating silent night, it looked even more frightening.

Ling Yujin and Yun Haoxi quickly hid in the dark, observed for a while, and found that the man had not lit the lamp, and his actions were very strange, like wandering spirits, wandering aimlessly in the courtyard.Although Ling Yujin didn't see the five girls in the cage with his own eyes, after all, after seeing Ye Si when he was unconscious and mad, and seeing the figure in front of him, he immediately thought that this person must also be hit Same poison.

Ling Yujin and Yun Haoxi looked at each other, and they both saw obvious worry in each other's eyes. They knew very well how sensitive these living corpses were to sound.If such a person existed, it would be even more difficult to find the secret way in Xiao's mansion without causing commotion.Fortunately, these people are only sensitive to sound, but they can't see people, and their perception ability is relatively poor. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the Xiao Mansion will be in a state of chaos tonight.

Ling Yujin calmed down as quickly as possible, his dark eyes gleamed under the silvery moonlight, and he signaled Yun Haoxi with his eyes that he would first use medicine to put the living corpse into a deep sleep.Ling Yujin approached the unconscious living corpse silently, and knocked him down with lightning speed.

Ling Yujin and Yun Haoxi continued to walk in the darkness by the moonlight, but they never found a clue about the secret way.When the two came to the garden, the moon was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and the Xiao Mansion, which was not illuminated by a single lamp, immediately fell into darkness. Even with the help of the sparse starlight, it was impossible to see clearly what was going on in the garden.

After a long while, the dark clouds cleared, and the cold white moonlight flooded the earth again. Ling Yujin and Yun Haoxi gradually saw the scene in front of them clearly, and their eyes widened instantly, revealing expressions of horror.In the not-so-big garden, five or six figures suddenly appeared walking around. Upon closer inspection, they were all living corpses, and they were all wearing servant clothes.

Ling Yujin narrowed her eyes slightly, recalling in her mind that the living corpse that was brought down just now was also dressed as a servant.The two of them suddenly felt a little cold sweat on their foreheads, and a creepy thought flashed through their minds. The Xiao Mansion did not light the lights, not because there were no guards, but because the guards of the Xiao Mansion were not ordinary people, and there was no need to light the lights at all.

At the same time, a question appeared in the minds of Ling Yujin and Yun Haoxi at the same time. Such guards are undoubtedly the bravest, but they have no awareness of how to control them at all.Moreover, they are too sensitive to sound, if a wild cat suddenly breaks into the mansion and makes these living corpses go berserk at the same time, how will they suppress it.

It seemed as if some god had heard what was in the hearts of the two of them. Suddenly a fat big mouse appeared in the garden and made a creaking sound.At the same time as the mouse made a sound, the living corpse closest to it moved to the mouse in an instant, and strangled the mouse without hesitation.

Ling Yujin and Yun Haoxi both stared blankly, looked at each other, just like when they came, they exited the garden without a sound.The two returned to the place where they met the first living corpse just now. The living corpse was still lying quietly on the ground. Under the night, it looked like a normal person who just fell into a deep sleep.

Ling Yujin said in a low voice: "The symptoms of these people's poisoning are different from Ye Si's. They will not scream when they hear the sound. The poisoned girls you saw in Yaojiazhai have the same symptoms as Ye Si's. Is it right?"

Yun Haoxi nodded and said: "Yes, their symptoms are the same as Ye Si's. But the few living corpses we saw just now are different from those girls except that they can't bark. When walking around, they didn't even touch a single grass or flower, as if they had perception or vision, and they would consciously avoid obstacles."

There was a strange light in Ling Yujin's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Things seem to be getting more and more interesting. It just so happens that there is a ready-made sample here. Let's see the difference between him and Ye Si first."

Ling Yujin and Yun Haochen checked the living corpse from top to bottom, from top to bottom, but found nothing unusual.Suddenly Ling Yujin's mind flashed, and he said, "Haoxi, look inside his mouth."

Yun Haoxi immediately pinched the jaw of this living corpse, and with the help of the moonlight, he could clearly see that there was nothing in his mouth.

Yun Haoxi whispered in surprise, "Uncle Ling, he has no tongue."

Ling Yujin looked at it, and said in a deep voice: "Looking at the condition of the wound, it should be that the tongue was cut off before the poisoning."

Yun Haoxi suddenly realized, and said: "No wonder the living corpses of the Xiao Mansion can't make a sound."

Ling Yujin said: "Not only that, but their perception or vision should also be better. In short, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's go back to Ye's house first, and then make other plans."

Ling Yujin and Yun Haoxi dexterously jumped out of the Xiao Mansion's wall and walked towards the direction of Ye's house, when they faintly heard some voices on the way.The closer they got to Ye's house, the louder the voice, the two quickened their pace, and the bad premonition in their hearts became stronger and stronger.As soon as they arrived at the main street where Ye's silk and satin shop was located, the two found that the street that was supposed to be immersed in darkness at this time was brightly lit everywhere, and many people gathered around the closed door of Ye's house to discuss.

Ling Yujin and Yun Haoxi nimbly avoided the crowd and leaped into Ye's house. As soon as they landed, they immediately felt a faint smell of blood floating in the air.The entire Ye family was shrouded in darkness, and it was very quiet, which made people feel a little ghostly.Ling Yujin turned pale, and immediately ran to the room where Ye Si was, followed by Yun Haoxi.

Arriving in front of Ye Si's room, what Ling Yujin and Yun Haoxi saw was the wide open door and the empty room.From the outside, the room is still very tidy, just like when Ling Yujin and Yun Haochen left.The two realized the seriousness of the situation at the same time, Ling Yujin winked at Yun Haoxi, and they separated to look for Ye's father and Ye's mother.

Fortunately, the entire Ye family was not that big, and when Ling Yujin and Yun Haoxi found the main hall at the same time, they heard heavy breathing.Ling Yujin quickly turned on the lights in the hall, and a mess suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.Mother Ye fell to the side covered in blood, Ye Si's eyes were only dead white, lying lifeless on the ground, except for the blood stains on his hands, no other injuries could be seen.Father Ye was exhausted and sat in the corner of the main hall leaning against the wall, panting heavily, his body was also stained with blood, and he didn't respond when the light suddenly came on.

According to the situation at the scene, Ling Yujin signaled Yun Haoxi to check on the situation of Ye's father and Ye's mother, while he went to check on the more dangerous Ye Si.There were no scars on Ye Si's body, but it was a pity that Ling Yujin could no longer detect her pulse. At this time, she was no longer a living corpse, but a real dead corpse.

Yun Haoxi went to Mother Ye first, stretched out his hand and found that she was not breathing, then tried her pulse and found that it had also stopped.Then, he squatted down next to Father Ye, and said softly, "Brother Ye, Brother Ye, are you all right, Brother Ye!!"

Because Ling Yujin called Father Ye Big Brother Ye, and when he first entered the rivers and lakes, he agreed that they were cousins, so Yun Haoxi could only call Father Ye Big Brother Ye at this time.Yun Haoxi yelled several times, but Father Ye didn't respond. He seemed to be overly frightened and lost his mind.

Although Father Ye was still breathing, Yun Haoxi looked at the bloodstains on his body and worried that he was also injured, so he checked carefully.In the end, it was discovered that Father Ye had no other injuries except for some scratches and abrasions on both hands, and two nails turned up.

After confirming the situation of Ye's father and Ye's mother, Yun Haoxi said: "Cousin, Mrs. Ye is dead, Brother Ye is not seriously injured, only a little injury on the hand, but it seems that he has been greatly frightened. It hasn't recovered yet."

Ling Ziyue checked Ye Si from head to toe, and found no trauma, and finally fixed her gaze on the wooden board under her head.There were bloodstains on the end of the plank, and the outline looked like a human hand. Ling Yujin froze for a moment, and then gently turned Ye Si's body over, letting her lie on the ground.The piece of wood under Ye Si's head was turned over together, and it was buckled on the back of her head.

Ling Yujin stood up in silence and walked to Father Ye, carefully looked at his injured hands, and then returned to Ye Si's body.Yun Haoxi followed Ling Yujin without knowing why, Ling Yujin raised his hand to grab the two ends of the wooden board, and lifted it up vigorously, the moment the wooden board was separated from Ye Si's head, a thick, about two inches long, was exposed. iron nails.Although the entire iron nail was dripping with blood, one could still see the gloomy coldness glowing beneath the scarlet red.

Yun Haoxi suddenly came to his senses, and said in a low voice: "Cousin, could this be?"

Ling Yujin nodded and said in a low voice: "It should be as you thought, Ye Si woke up and went crazy, killing Ye's mother, and Ye's father killed Ye Si."

Although under such circumstances, Ye's father's actions were completely self-defense, but for some reason, both Ling Yujin and Yun Haoxi felt tight in their chests.Ling Yujin recalled the amount of medicine she gave Ye Si, it stands to reason that their stay in Xiao Mansion tonight was shorter than expected, Ye Si should never have woken up so soon.Furthermore, even if Ye Si really woke up suddenly due to some circumstances, it was impossible for her to open the door and walk out of the room by herself.It seems that Father Ye is the only one who knows all the answers. The current plan is to wait for Father Ye to recover his sanity.

Ling Yujin confessed in a low voice: "Haoxi, you stay here and watch Brother Ye, I'll go to the street to check on the situation."

After coming to the street, Ling Yujin also joined the crowd whispering and talking in front of Ye's house.

I only heard a 50-year-old, short and fat woman like a ball spitting and saying: "Last night, there was a riot in the Ye family, but fortunately it only yelled a few times. Today, my family will go to the house during the day." Asked, he insisted that Madam missed her daughter and had nightmares again and again, who would have thought that there was another disturbance tonight, which was even worse than last night. In fact, everyone in the neighborhood can understand that his only daughter was sent to Yaojiazhai. Madam is too sad, and it is reasonable to have nightmares. But we can’t make such a fuss every night, we still have to sleep and rest, do you think it makes sense? If it doesn’t work, find a doctor to go to Ye’s house tomorrow to give Mrs. Ye Look, no matter how you hear this cry tonight, it doesn't sound like a nightmare, could it be that you have lost your mind?"

Ling Yujin listened for a long time, all the neighbors were talking about what happened to the Ye family, some people took the opportunity to add insult to injury, some felt pity, and some were indifferent.Just when Ling Yujin became more and more impatient, a middle-aged man suddenly said, "Tonight is also strange, even if Mrs. Ye is not making noise, the annoying sound of the flute makes it difficult to fall asleep."

Immediately afterwards, someone began to echo: "That's right, at that level, you have to blow it in the middle of the night, it's definitely for the sake of scaring people."

Ling Yujin hurriedly asked: "May I ask what kind of flute sound and tune this elder brother heard, can you tell me in detail?"

The middle-aged man took a look at Ling Yujin. Although he felt that the young man in front of him had a great temperament, but he appeared at this time, at most he was too noisy to sleep, and like everyone else, he came out to inquire about gossip.

The middle-aged man said: "I don't know what the tune is, because there is no tune at all, as if someone who doesn't know how to play the flute can only make those harsh sounds. Hey, I have never had such a thing before. Anyway, the two God is so weird."

Then someone said: "That's right, there have been a lot of weird things these days, otherwise tomorrow we will invite a monk and Taoist priest to do a practice for our street to drive away evil spirits."

The night was getting darker, and even the moon was hidden in the thick clouds, the bright lights on the street were extinguished one by one, and the people gathered near Ye's house also went home to sleep one after another.Ling Yujin, who returned to Ye's house, kept thinking about whether Ye Si's sudden awakening might be related to that weird flute sound? !

Seeing Ling Yujin's serious face, Yun Haoxi stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Ling, what's the matter, what clues did you find?"

Ling Yujin only muttered two words: "The sound of the flute."

Yun Haoxi didn't know why, so he asked, "What flute sound?"

Ling Yujin came back to her senses and said, "How is Brother Ye?"

Yun Haoxi shook his head lightly, and said, "I still haven't said a word."

Ling Yujin's eyes turned, and he walked slowly towards Father Ye, raised his hand and knocked him unconscious, and ordered: "Pick him to the bed."

Yun Haoxi was taken aback by Ling Yujin's sudden action, and then responded: "Oh, good."

Ling Yujin explained: "Let him sleep for a night first, otherwise he still won't be able to ask anything tomorrow."

After setting up Father Ye, the two returned to the main hall, and after covering Ye Mu and Ye Si with two white sheets, Ling Yujin said: "Haoxi, let's go to have a rest too, after a while It should be daylight."

Yun Haoxi said: "Okay, but what are we going to do next, Uncle Ling?"

Ling Yujin thought for a while and said: "Although we didn't find the secret path tonight, we can be sure of one thing, Xiao Shixiang is absolutely inseparable from these living corpses. Didn't you say that the people in Yaojiazhai have found the antidote?" Well, tomorrow you will go to Hao Chen and Mo Li and tell them the situation in the town. Besides, you brought five people from Yaojiazhai, right, so you don’t need to tell them about your departure.”

Yun Haoxi asked: "Does Uncle Ling suspect that there is an inner ghost in Yao's village?"

Ling Yujin frowned and said: "I don't know, I just feel that something is wrong. In short, you should tell Haochen and Moli everything that happened here first, and then come to the town to join me as soon as possible. By the way, you are alone Can you find the way to Yaojiazhai?"

Yun Haoxi smiled and said: "Of course, Haochen and I are not Lu Chi, by the way, Uncle Ling, do you know that Mo Li is also Lu Chi, just like you."

Ling Yujin smiled lightly and didn't speak, Yun Haoxi suddenly said seriously: "Uncle Ling, before going down the mountain, Haochen and I promised father to protect you well, so please be careful in everything."

Ling Yujin smiled, and said teasingly: "Brother is also really interesting. Finding two children to protect me is how worried you are about me, ha ha ha ha."

Yun Haoxi also smiled, and said: "Tomorrow I will set off to find Hao Chen and Mo Li, and we must return to the town as soon as possible to meet Uncle Ling."

In the early morning of the next day, Ling Yujin asked Yun Haoxi to leave early in the morning, but Yun Haoxi wanted to wait until Father Ye woke up before leaving, maybe he could find out something new, so Ling Yujin let him go.At Si Shi, Father Ye woke up leisurely. After opening his eyes, he saw Ling Yujin and Yun Haoxi sitting in his room, and he didn't react for a while.

Father Ye asked, "Why are the two young masters in my room?"

Ling Yujin said: "Brother Ye, don't you remember what happened last night?"

Soon the memories of last night flooded into Father Ye's mind like a tide. He sat on the bed, his face getting worse and worse, and gradually his whole body began to tremble.

Father Ye tremblingly said: "Last night, last night was a nightmare, where is my wife and my child?"

Ling Yujin said: "Madam Ye and Ye Si have passed away, please mourn."

After Father Ye heard this, he was stunned for a long time, and suddenly burst into tears, crying intermittently: "I, in my life, have never, never, never harmed anyone or done evil, why did God If you want to treat me like this, woo woo woo woo woo..."

When Father Ye was almost crying, Ling Yujin said slowly: "The dead are gone, and the living are like this. Brother Ye, can you tell me about the situation last night in detail, what was it like?"

Father Ye looked at Ling Yujin standing in front of him, suddenly seemed to go crazy, rushed over and grabbed him by the collar, and shouted: "Didn't you say that Xiaosi had been given medicine? Didn't you say that she Won’t you wake up? If it wasn’t for you, if it wasn’t for you, my wife, how could my daughter die, it’s all your fault, it’s all your fault, you murderer!!”
