I live in Beihai Jun Nanhai [Rebirth]

When Ulanda heard it, he seemed to realize that not only did he not ask anything, but he also confessed the existence of Four Seasons Valley. He closed his mouth awkwardly, turned away his molars after licking his teeth, and stopped talking.

Ji Qinglin turned back to look at the black-robed man, pointed at Ulanda and asked, "Apart from knowing that the left deputy envoy wanted you to kill him, what else do you know?"

The man in black hesitated for a moment, then squeezed his chapped lips and said, "Where should I start..."

Xie Wuyi said, "Let's start from the beginning."

The man in black seemed to be a little afraid of Xie Wuyi, he nodded obediently when he heard what he said, and said everything he knew in a hoarse voice.

The name of this black-robed man is Xiying, he is from Qinan, he has several medicine fields in his family, and he has been doing some small business of selling medicines on weekdays.

Because of the limited quantity and types of medicinal products produced by his own medicine fields, he has often gone to surrounding villages to collect different types of medicinal materials since he was young and resell them to nearby urban Chinese medicine shops and medical centers to make a difference. He will also go to the mountains to search.

When he went up the mountain to search for medicine, he was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake in the dense forest.

The snake was very poisonous, Xiying was already covered in black and purple when she staggered down the mountain after being bitten.

A kind-hearted couple in the mountain village dragged him back to their home, and they also found a doctor to try to save him, but the doctor said that he had been poisoned deeply, and there was no way to recover.

At that time, Xiying's consciousness was intermittent and very vague, and he couldn't speak, and he didn't remember how many days passed. He felt as if he was wrapped in something and was carried for a while, and then he smelled the smell of soil, and then After coming down, there is only a gradually stronger feeling of suffocation.

He vaguely realized that he might have been buried, perhaps because his breath was weak, and the couple thought he was dead, so they buried him in the soil.

He lay there thinking that it was good, there were dying people on the left and right, and it would be a blessing to have a land of rest, without the wilderness of violent corpses.

As he thought about it, his consciousness disappeared little by little, and he no longer had any consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, he first saw a night sky with few stars and moon, and misty clouds. He vaguely thought that this was the so-called underworld.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned his head, he found that the place where he was lying was a big earth pit, and on the big rock beside the pit was a person sitting in a black robe from head to ground, like a monster.

Xiying thought it was an official from the underworld, and sat up cautiously in fear, but when the man saw him sitting up, he went to the big pit and squatted down, telling him that he saved him.

It was at that time that Xiying learned that the man in black was called "Deputy Zuo", and that he was her savior, and thanked him in every possible way.But the deputy left didn't seem to have any intention of asking for credit, so he waved his hand and left lightly.

Xiying didn't dare to go back to find the couple, fearing that her "deceived corpse" would frighten them, so she had to refill the pit by herself, and ran back to her home overnight.

After returning home, he first looked in the mirror and found that his bruised skin from the snake venom had not recovered, and there were some extremely small holes on his body.

He thought it was the trace left by the left deputy envoy for bloodletting and detoxifying him, so he didn't think much about it, but the bruise on his face was really appalling, so he found a bamboo hat and sewed a drape around it, and usually when he went out, he would Put this hat on your head.

The days returned to normal, except that the bruised cheeks often reminded him that he had really been poisoned by snakes, everything that happened that night was like a dream.

Just when Xiying thought all this was over, his body changed quietly. This change was not discovered by himself, but by the reactions of people around him.

The people he came into contact with began to stay away from him as if there was nothing, and when they had to approach him, they would often cover their noses and frown.

He didn't know what happened, until an outspoken little girl in the village asked him quietly: "Have you not bathed for a long time?"

Xiying couldn't smell his own scent. In fact, he had lost his sense of smell since the time he was poisoned by the snake, but his life was recovered, and the lack of this feeling seemed nothing.

However, he couldn't smell it, but others could smell it clearly. The girl told him that he had an unpleasant smell, as if he hadn't bathed for a long time.

This made Xiying a little embarrassed. After all, he was only a young man in his early twenties, so he couldn't stand being told that he was dirty.

After returning home, he took a serious bath, and even soaked in some herbal medicine to remove the smell. When he went out to find the girl the next day, the girl told him that although the smell was a little weaker, it was still smelly. Still very obvious.

Only then did he finally realize that maybe there was something wrong with his body.

After returning home and closing the doors and windows, he checked himself from top to bottom by candlelight naked, and found that there were wrinkles in several places on his body.

The skin at the folds was abnormally soft, the flesh and blood inside was dark in color, and a little thick and sticky liquid even leaked out from the surface, it looked like an apple that had been placed for a long time and had begun to rot.

Seeing those festering marks, Xiying felt a deep sense of panic in his heart, because he didn't feel any pain at all, as if the flesh didn't grow on his body at all.

After a few days of worrying, he seemed to feel that the folds were getting worse. He tried washing and applying medicine, but it didn't help.

At this moment, the deputy left appeared in front of him again.

The left deputy told him that although he was pulled back from the gate of hell that day, his body suffered some injuries and could not recover.

After finishing speaking, Deputy Zuo took out another pill, saying that the pill could restrain his physical condition from getting worse, but if he wanted to take the medicine, he had to do one thing for him first.

Hearing this, Ulanda rolled his eyes and interrupted: "This matter is for you to kill me?"

Unexpectedly, Xiying shook her head and said, "No, he asked me to look for the dying old man in Qinan."

Ji Qinglin was startled, and suddenly had a vague guess in his heart, and asked, "Why do you want to find the old man?"

Sure enough, Xiying's answer confirmed Ji Qinglin's guess, he said: "He asked me to pierce all the dead spots of the old man with a thin needle, and then... cut off their thumbs and take them back."

It was very difficult for Xiying to say it, so no wonder he did it, it sounded like he had no conscience, let alone let him do it himself.

"So you're the carpenter?" Ulanda asked.

This sentence was also what Ji Qinglin wanted to ask. What Xiying said about what Deputy Envoy Zuo wanted him to do was exactly the same as the symptoms of the "epidemic" in Qinan, and it was almost logical to connect the two together.

Unexpectedly, Xiying's eyes showed a trace of confusion: "Carpenter?"

His rhetorical question made Ulanda and Ji Qinglin puzzled, and Ulanda said, "Didn't you pretend to be a carpenter to do this?"

Xiying shook her head resolutely, and said: "I didn't do this at all. It's not hard to find old people who are dying, but I can't tell lies by nature. I don't know how to lie to the families of those old people. In Qinan After wandering for several days, I finally returned without success.”

Ulanda crossed his arms and stared at him, sneered and said, "According to what you say, I still have to praise you for your conscience?"

This Xiying is also a real person, and he denied it in a daze: "No, I just don't know how to lie, it's easier to kill...killing people."

Ji Qinglin watched him say this in a serious manner, almost speechless, and waved helplessly: "Okay, you continue to talk, what happened next?"

Xiying nodded, and returned to the topic: "In fact, there was not much to do after that. I told the left deputy envoy that I couldn't do it after I went back, but he still gave me the medicine, saying that it couldn't be done this time. Next time. The medicine really worked, but it only lasted for a few months. After the effect disappeared a few days ago, the left deputy came to me again, and this time what I was asked to do was... come here to kill people."

"A few days ago?" Ulanda asked strangely, "A few days ago he knew that I would be in Nanshan today?"

It's normal for Ulanda to have this question. He decided to follow Xie Wuyi and Ji Qinglin to Nanshan after they arrived last night. Not to mention the past few days, even yesterday during the day, he still didn't know what he was doing today. will come here.

"No," Xiying explained hastily, "The Deputy Zuo asked us to keep a close eye on you, and wait until you are alone before attacking."

"Oh——" Ulanda said with a long voice as if suddenly enlightened, "Then your eyes are not very good? Am I 'alone' now?"

Xiying didn't seem to realize that he was mocking, but instead said with a dejected expression, "We also wanted to wait until you were alone, but you were in that village before, surrounded by officers and soldiers, and it was hard to wait until you were alone." When you came out of that village, you still brought a large group of people with you. When we went up the mountain, we saw how many of you were there, but we didn’t dare to move. We decided to do it because we saw that there were fewer people going down the mountain..."

"Hey? Are you still wronged?" Ulanda turned his head to look at Ji Qinglin in disbelief and said, "Hearing what he said, I was not killed by them alone, but it seems that I deliberately made things difficult for them?"

For some reason, at this moment, what he was talking about was quite serious, but Ji Qinglin just wanted to laugh for some reason, thinking that it was true that Xiying said that he would not lie, he was at least a prisoner now, and he could talk It's a good thing that Ulanda is not a tyrannical person for being so unrestrained, otherwise he would have been torn to pieces already.

Xie Wuyi glanced helplessly at the two people who had been led astray, and asked Xiying, "Who are all your accomplices?"

As soon as Xiying heard that Wuyi opened his mouth, he immediately replied cautiously and seriously: "We don't know each other, and we didn't know that we were here to do the same thing until we met at the place designated by Deputy Envoy Zuo. I had a few chats with Ah Jin..."

Having said that, he pointed to the dead body on the right with a voice like a duck's voice: "It's him, he told me that they all had the same experience of being rescued as me, and they came here this time to complete the task and get the reward." medicine."

Hearing what he said, Ji Qinglin finally confirmed that these people were indeed just pawns in the hands of the left deputy envoy as he had expected. The left deputy envoy "saved" them with the technique of sealing their souls when they were about to die. Rot, and drug them to induce them to do things for themselves.

Ji Qinglin analyzed it by himself, while Xie Wuyi continued to ask: "The one who saved them was also Deputy Zuo?"

Xiying shook his head and said, "Not entirely."

Ji Qinglin was a little surprised, and saw Xiying pointing to the corpse on the left and saying, "He doesn't seem to be."

Xie Wuyi asked, "Who saved him?"

"I don't know about that," Xiying seemed to be in a bit of trouble, "I was very curious about them when I first met them, so I asked if they were also sent by the left deputy envoy, and only Ah Jin answered me 'Yes' ’, and the man shook his head, and the others ignored me.”

Ulanda sneered suddenly, and joked, "What's the matter, are they still isolating you?"

Xiying shook her head and said, "That's not true. I heard from Ah Jin that these people are either deaf or dumb, so Ah Jin is the only one who can chat with me these two days."

As soon as these words came out, Ji Qinglin and the others immediately looked at each other with surprise and doubt on their faces.

deaf?

Why did Deputy Zuo send such a person to carry out the assassination?It's okay to be dumb, but if you can't even hear your voice, how inconvenient is it to move?

It was only at this time that they recalled that from the time these black-robed men appeared in the forest, except for Ah Jin who yelled a word before he died, none of them had spoken, there was no shout of killing, and no Shouting in pain, the silence was almost eerie.

Seeing that they looked at each other with doubts on their faces, Xiying thought they didn't believe it, and said anxiously: "What I said is true, and it seems that it is not the first time for them to take on the task, so they all know more than me, even if they don't Whether you are deaf or dumb, you definitely don’t want to talk too much with me.”

Ulanda jokingly said: "You are quite self-aware."

After a moment's pause, he approached Ji Qinglin again and whispered: "Master is not very sure about getting a job, so why did you pick the one who knows the least?"
