Chapter 8 The case of dumping the river of death River of the Dead

The carriage drove to the outside of the city. The outside of the city was not as crowded as the inside of the city. There were only a few families in twos and threes in the mountains next to it.There are also many stones on the winding mountain road, and the carriage is bumping non-stop on it.

"careful!"

Even though the carriage was driving as smoothly as possible, there was always a huge bump.As soon as the carriage turned a corner, it presumed that it had hit a rock, so it slanted sharply to the right, but immediately returned to its normal position.

"Sir, are you okay?" Qin Zhe asked outside.

"……nothing."

Qin Zhe breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.The scenery outside the car is very good, and the sun is shining brightly today.It is really the best time for traveling in the countryside.But for Gong Heng, it was estimated that today was another auspicious day when he was out of the house... It was just a small tilt of the carriage, and he had been trained for many years to be ready to roll over at any time in the carriage.

Unexpectedly... this Mr. Yan is quite worried about people, he must be worried that he will fall so he hugged himself so he can understand...but.

"Master Yan, you can let go."

Seeing this, Chenchen couldn't hold her anymore, and sat upright after letting go, with a satisfied expression on her face.It's not that he didn't see Gong Heng's movements when the carriage was tilted, he was just pretending to be blind in order to hug... How could he miss such an opportunity?

"Mr. Wanwan, it's Heshi Week today, where should we go first?" Chenchen opened the window of the car and asked casually, not expecting that Gong Heng would have to answer.But Gong Heng thought seriously.Seeing Gong Heng thinking about his question like this, he lowered the curtains and stared at Gong Heng with his face propped up.

Well, why is Gong Heng so good-looking?Chen Chen thought so, even though he knew that Gong Heng's eyes were covered, it didn't prevent Chen Chen from looking at Gong Heng.

"Yu Wan, you are very beautiful."

"Huh? What?"

Gong Heng didn't pay much attention to what Qing Chenchen said, he kept thinking about where should he go in Heshi Zhou?

"Oh! No, it's nothing. I mean the weather is good today." Chenchen also came back to his senses and hurriedly replied.He secretly cursed himself for being possessed just now... Seeing that Gong Heng didn't ask any more questions and didn't doubt it, he felt relieved.Fortunately, Gong Heng couldn't see it... But thinking of Gong Heng's eyes, Chen Chen became silent again.

"Mr. Guan Wan doesn't know where to go? Then it's fine if you have any friends in Heshi Zhou, we can go and stay for one night." Chen Chen said this on purpose.Because he knew that apart from Wen Feng, Gong Heng was only familiar with the Chen family and Chen Chen.Of course, there is also his cousin Qin Yi.

As expected, Gong Heng's face was not very good after speaking, and he seemed a little embarrassed...

"I... in Heshi Zhou, I have no friends."

Seeing Gong Heng's answer like this, Chenchen's heart also felt sore, and now...he can't even be friends....Quickly adjust your emotions.Let yourself stop being sad because of what Gong Heng said.

"Then, let's go to the inn. We can eat, drink, and stay at the hotel." Chenchen gave Gong Heng a good opinion.After thinking about it, Gong Heng felt that he had to go to the inn.In desperation, she still misses Wen Feng a little bit.After all, at the end of last year, people built a garden for you to live in, but you can only live in a hotel in Heshi Zhou.

"Mr. Wanwan, let's take a rest. He has driven the car for a long time, let him rest too." Chen Chen thought about it, and Gong Heng felt relieved, so he stopped the car to rest for a while.Chen Chen also got out of the car and came up after a while.

"Mr. Wanwan, this is the water by the stream, drink some." Gong Heng stepped forward to take it without disdain, and the water was held in a leather jug.After taking a sip, he stopped drinking.

"Mr. Wanwan don't drink more." Chenchen felt that Gong Heng drank too little... Gong Heng frowned and shook his head.

"There is a problem with the water."

"What's the problem?" Chen Chen also sighed for Gong Heng, and became serious when he heard Gong Heng say that.

"The smell of the dead..."

Gong Heng didn't answer euphemistically, and Chen Chen felt slightly queasy when he heard this answer.With complicated eyes, he poured the water out of the window.

"Only the smell of the dead?"

I also saw Gong Heng shaking his head.

"More than that, demons, demons, ghosts, and monsters. There are all of these."

. . . demons, ghosts, and the dead.

"Mr. Guan Wan means that someone committed a crime and blamed the upper reaches of this stream?" Gong Heng was a little surprised by Chen Chen's answer, he didn't expect Chen Chen to have the same idea as himself.After all, when ordinary people encounter such a thing, they will definitely think that it was done by someone from the upper or middle stream of the stream.On the contrary, Gong Heng didn't think so, the water in the creek was too weird, if it was really done by high-class people, it would be too flawed, but if someone blamed high-class people, it would make sense.Gong Heng smiled at Chen Chen.

"A gentleman sees the same thing."

Chen Chen also laughed, and raised her head triumphantly.He can have such a tacit understanding with Gong Heng, it's not because he stayed with Gong Heng for a long time, thinking about everything in the direction Gong Heng wanted...

"If our idea is true, then where is the upper stream of this stream?" Gong Heng couldn't remember the name of the neighbor next to Luohe City.

"The allure of the city."

Chen Chen also became worried, because Du Qingcheng is the main city of the Qin family.The head of the Qin family is Qin Yi.Gong Heng also frowned.

Yi Qing, if it's another city, he might be able to ignore it, but this is Qin Yi's main city, it seems... he has to.

"Mr. Guan Wan, what about us?"

"...Go to Yiqingcheng for now, and then go to Heshizhou after a while." Gong Heng also felt that he was not in a hurry to find Chen Yuan, so he had a look at Qin Yi first before talking.

"it is good."

Wherever you go, I will follow.Like a shadow, never leave.

After the carriage rested, it started to drive again. Their destination today is Qingcheng.Gong Heng was indeed a little worried. His mother, Qin Yao, and Qin Yi's father, Qin Ke, were brothers and sisters.Qin Yi is also his cousin.Although they are distant relatives, they grew up together and knew each other.I really can't let go.

At dusk in the afternoon, when the sun met the horizon, Gong Heng's carriage arrived at the city of Qingqing.Qin Zhe also enters after getting off the bus and paying the toll.Yiqingcheng is not as prosperous as the last time I went to Luohe.

"It's not very lively here."

Chen Chen was right, it was getting late, many shops around were closed, and the stalls around were closed early.There are very few pedestrians on the road.The highest place in Qingcheng in the distance is the Qin family's house - Qingshidian.

Fireworks were set off at the sentry post at the highest point of Qingshidian.What do you mean?

"Tsk, why are there so few people, isn't it normal?"

Gong Heng also felt abnormal when he heard the description from the side.Because if this time is the busiest time in Luohe, many people will come out and walk around at night, thousands of households, the lights are dim.Not very prosperous.

But it was a different scene in Yiqingcheng...

"Mr. Wanwan, do you have any friends in Qingcheng?" Chen Chen meant Qin Yi, and said that he could go to Qin Yi's house to borrow a night tonight.But Gong Heng didn't think so.

"Young Master Yan, we're staying out for one night today, it's too late. I'm afraid of disturbing my friend's peace."

Excuse!

I just don't want to go to Qin Yi's place.

Chenchen also knew it well and stopped talking.The carriage stopped at Yilu Inn, and because Chen Chen was there, Qin Zhe also confidently followed the waiter with the carriage to find a place to settle down.Chenchen put Gong Heng behind her and grabbed his arm.Although Gong Heng felt that it was not good, but suffering from blindness, this was the only way to go.

The name of the inn is - comer inn.It's an interesting name.A woman came out of the inn. She was plump and looked like an overhang.

"Oh! Here's a guest. It's the foolish girl who didn't take good care of her. Please don't blame the guest." The woman said courteous words.The joyful look made Chenchen who was beside him almost burst out laughing.

"The lady boss is worrying too much." Gong Heng also responded very politely.Chen Chen had no intention of blocking Gong Heng behind her. "Miss Boss, I want two good guest rooms, and I'll send you some pastries at night."

"Two rooms, don't you stay?" Gong Heng asked.

"Stay here, I..." I wanted to say that I was in the same room as you, but then I remembered that I was Yanyan...

"Ah, I live. Don't you forget that? Alas! Ma'am, add another room." The proprietress happily agreed and led Gong Heng and Chen Chen upstairs.

"Hey, son. This is room 5155, the next room is room 7111, and there is another room on the third floor, room 7112." The proprietress still looked attentive.

"It's troublesome." Gong Heng was still polite.

"My lord, you are very polite. If you have anything, you can ask me anytime. Some of us are on the night shift." The proprietress looked downstairs after she finished speaking, and she smiled even more when she saw Qin Zhe paying the money.

"Those guests will rest first, and I won't bother you."

The lady boss went down after she finished speaking.Chen Chen also placed Gong Heng in Room 5515 first.

"The room is quite clean and comfortable to live in." After speaking, he opened the door and entered.

"Mister lives in Room 5155? Naqin lives in Room 7111 next to it." Chen Chen refused to hear this.

"It's better to go to room 7112 on the third floor. I don't like high places, so let me live in room 7111." At this time, only the thick-skinned can get the benefits...

"This……"

It's not that Qin Zhe doesn't want to, he just thinks that Gong Heng is on the second floor and he is on the third floor.If something goes wrong, I'm afraid it will be too late.

"Qin Zhe, just listen to Mr. Yan and go to the third floor." Gong Heng said so out of politeness, but in his heart he scolded Chen Chen, a person who only thinks about himself, and doesn't care that Gong Heng is a man at all. blind…….Seeing this, Qin Zhe can say something.Thinking that Chenchen would also protect Gong Heng, she stopped trying to persuade her to leave.

"Young Master Yan, don't you want to leave?" Gong Heng was helpless, everyone else had left, but this Young Master Yan still stayed here?Chenchen also quickly responded with a smile, "Isn't it because you, Mr. Guan Wan, are not familiar with this place? I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient for you. I'll leave later."

"Thank you, Mr. Yan, for your kindness. There is no need. Mr. Yan, let's go back first, and I will rest now."

Seeing Gong Heng talking to him in an official tone, he smiled helplessly and had no choice but to leave.

"I'm right next door to you, call me if you need anything."

you?I?

The name really changes every 10 minutes.I haven't known each other for long, so you and I match each other.This Mr. Yan is really...too polite.He groped his way to the bed and lay down.I'm quite tired today, let's sleep for a while.

It was night and it was dark.The inn also closed the door and stopped picking up guests, and the waiter at the counter also changed.

"The proprietress closed the door so early, is she planning not to make money?" Chen Chen leaned on the guardrail on the second floor and looked at the proprietress on the first floor.Seeing that it was Chen Chen, the proprietress smiled and stopped talking.

Not answering?interesting.

"Miss Boss, my bed here seems not to be stable, can you please Madam Boss to take a look for me?"

"My lord is joking, it's for a reason."

The proprietress went up to the second floor to check the bed.

well?This bed... no problem!The proprietress also turned around and said that the bed was fine.But he saw Chenchen staring at him all the time, his gloomy look made the proprietress feel pimples all over her body...

"Ah! The guest, please rest, and the foolish girl will leave first." After finishing speaking, she left without any hesitation.

"Hey! The proprietress is leaving now? But I always feel uncomfortable in this bed. The proprietress must not have checked it carefully, why don't I ask the proprietress to go up and have a look?" Then he threw the proprietress onto the bed and strangled the proprietress's neck.The proprietress also yelled in panic.

"If the proprietress wants to get out of this door alive, she must be obedient. The questions I ask must be answered truthfully, understand?" Seeing Chen Chen's behavior, the proprietress pressed her head in fear and nodded.Chenchen also let go of her hand and stopped pinching the proprietress's neck.

"Guest...excuse me."

"Why did the night shift change just now?"

The proprietress also hesitated before making up her mind to speak out.

"The clerk in exchange is a demon. Because... In recent years, there have always been some demons and ghosts in Qingcheng every night to cause trouble. That's why I recruited a demon as a clerk. I think it's easy to talk about being a demon and ghost. At least those who cause trouble will not People were killed in my inn." The proprietress also told the story and didn't hide it.

"Provoking trouble? Why?"

"I don't know about that! Since last year, a group of merchants have come to Yiqing City. They have built shops in Yiqing, mainly buying items from Yin and Yang. Since then, many demons and ghosts have also come to Yiqing. Although we Humans don't care that they live in the same city, but recently there have been a series of murders, and many people think that those monsters are responsible. But because there is no evidence, they can't report to the head of the Qin family, so they can't get rid of those bad things!"

Chenchen also saw the helplessness of the proprietress.I thought to myself.

"Could it be that Patriarch Qin didn't notice at all?"

This is indeed what Chenchen wanted to ask, what happened to Qin Yi's own main city, how did Qin Yi, the head of the family, do it?

"I don't know either."

"Okay, lady boss, let's go out."

The proprietress also hurried out and didn't stay any longer.It was really weird for Chenchen to sit alone on the bed and think about this matter.Before I could figure out why, I heard someone talking in the next room...

Bang bang bang!

The sleepy Gong Heng heard the knock on the door, and hurriedly got up to open the door.The person who came was the clerk in the store.

"Guests, this is the pastry you just asked for."

Gong Heng thought that just now Yanyan seemed to be asking the proprietress to bring up pastries...

"It's time to work, come in."

The clerk came in and put the cakes on the table and left without stopping. Gong Heng also sent the clerk away before closing the door.

Snapped!

The door that was about to close was blocked.

"Mr. Guan Wan is really brave, let anything in at will?" The person who came was Chen Chen, who came out to have a look when he heard a noise from the next door.

"He is the clerk delivering pastries, how can he be so rude?" Gong Heng was slightly dissatisfied with Chen Chen's addressing the clerk.Of course, Chen Chen didn't entangle with Gong Heng, if Gong Heng could see it just now, he wouldn't have said that...

Chenchen closed the door and went to the table to eat pastries, but then thought of the clerk's body as dark yellow and skinny as a stick, and his eyes were about to pop out.It's really hard to swallow looking at the cakes...

"hungry?"

Gong Heng didn't say any more, after all, he thought that he and Yanyan were just acquainted.Some things are hard to say.Go to the table and sit down.Chen Chen also just swallowed the cake bit by bit.

"Well, I'm hungry."

"Then you can take it all to your room, I'm not hungry." Gong Heng meant to let Chenchen take it away if he wanted to eat.Don't bother him here.But Chenchen also knowingly did it.

"It's okay, that's it."

Well, Gong Heng really felt that he couldn't talk to him too tactfully, and was about to issue a eviction order but was intercepted by Chen Chen.

"I asked the proprietress just now, and she said that there have been many murders in this city recently, but there is no way to investigate them."

Gong Heng also became vigilant. "Why?"

"I don't know. It is said that merchants came to do business last year. They sold items from Yin and Yang. Later, many ghosts and ghosts came to stay in Yiqing City. It's the same. Many people think that the ghosts and ghosts did it. But there is no evidence."

"Do you believe those ghosts and ghosts did it?"

Gong Heng asked, he suddenly believed in the tacit understanding between them...

"I don't believe it, but I'm not sure either."

Sure enough, Chen Chen's answer was exactly what Gong Heng wanted.Can't you see such an obvious framing?Chen Chen continued to say, "Qin Yi doesn't seem to know... But, it doesn't make sense?" Gong Heng was also puzzled, and shook his head to stop thinking.

"Let's see it tomorrow, it's late at night."

Chenchen also knew that Gong Heng had also issued an order to evict the guests, so he waved his hand and left without any objection.Chen Chen left Harem Heng and didn't go to sleep, but just took out the small bottle that Chen Yin gave him from his bosom.In fact, he knew that the clerk who had just arrived was weird. After all, the weight of a human's footsteps was very different from that of a ghost, and it wasn't like he didn't notice it.Letting the clerk in is nothing more than feeling that there is no threat to him...

Touching the small bottle, I wondered if I should try it. Anyway, my eyes can't see anymore, so I might as well treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, try it...

Finally made up his mind, took off the veil and opened his eyes.The eyeballs are still red, very scary.Fumbled to get the small bottle... But, is this for him to pour it directly into the eyes?

"Mr. Wanwan, the pastries..."

Gong Heng didn't expect Chen Chen to come back again, panicked and didn't know what to do, so he could only stare at Chen Chen.It was also the first time for Chen Chen to see Gong Heng's eyes, the entire eyeballs were red, if he hadn't been familiar with Gong Heng, he might have killed him as a monster...

Gong Heng also reacted and quickly covered his eyes, but it was too late...

"Mr. Guan Wan's eye disease is really special."

Chen Chen could only pretend that he didn't know the reason why Gong Heng was blind.

"You...you, what's the matter?"

Gong Heng also picked up the ribbon and put it on quickly.

"Mr. Guan Wan doesn't have to be like this, and I don't care." Seeing everything, Gong Heng didn't stop him, and Chen Chen also stepped forward to sit and watch.

"Have you seen enough?"

how come?Can't get enough of it!

"Look at Mr. Wu Wan's eye disease is actually blinded by the rattan pattern in the corner of his eye. It seems that Mr. Wu Wan is wearing a sinful body."

No, Chen Chen didn't want to say that, but in order for Gong Heng to stop hiding himself, he had to say it.Although Gong Heng's complexion was not good, he didn't react too much.

"So? What is Mr. Yan going to do?"

Chen Chen listened to what Gong Heng said, and smiled indifferently.Looking at Gong Heng, "Of course I'm on your side, Mr. Guan Wan. Don't worry, I won't say anything, I swear."

In fact, Gong Heng doesn't care about being seen.It's good to kill, after all, the dead can't speak... But hearing Chen Chen say this, Gong Heng also gave up the idea of ​​killing.

"Young Master Yan is truly a brilliant man who knows the current affairs."

In fact, Gong Heng doesn't care whether Chen Chen is on whose side, he only cares about Chen Chen's life or death.

"Is Mr. Guan Wan taking medicine? I can help you." Chen Chen also kindly suggested.Gong Heng thought about it for a while, and felt that he was discovered anyway, so it's okay to help with the medicine.What if?Just kill it...

"It's work."

Chen Chen hurriedly got up and took the small bottle handed over and looked at it. "Mr. Wanwan, there is a drip in the cork."

Only then did Gong Heng realize that the drip was in the cork, and just now he was still thinking about how to pour it into his eyes.

Chen Chen walked up to Gong Heng and lifted his chin, his hair drooped naturally due to gravity, revealing the vine pattern at the corner of Gong Heng's left eye.Chenchen looked away and saw Gong Heng's eyes, and waited for a while before pointing the hourglass at the eyes to drip.

Although Gong Heng knew that his eye disease was special, he still had hope, and Chen Chen was also nervous.If Gong Heng could see, knowing what Chen Chen said... But I hope Gong Heng's eyes can see.

"Do you feel it?"

"no feelings……"

Gong Heng didn't speak any more, and it was obvious that his eyes were overshadowed. Sure enough, his eyes were not so easy to heal, and he didn't even feel a little bit.It seems that it is really bad.Chenchen also breathed a sigh of relief, but was disappointed afterward.

"It's okay, there will be a way later."

"It's night, let's rest."

Gong Heng went back to the bed and lay down, and Chen Chen also closed the door for him.

Chenchen stood outside the door feeling dejected.

It would be great if I could be your eyes...
