The protagonists have golden fingers

After Duan Feiqiu said this, he wiped his mouth and left.Gu Zhuangcheng drank his tea with downcast eyes, raised his head for a moment, and met the green-weary eyes of the second floor who was leaning on the railing and looking down.

I don't know if it's his illusion, but the color of these eyes seems to be lighter than the previous few days.

Gu Zhuangcheng was in a trance for a moment, and then laughed in his heart that he had fallen into a magic barrier. How could he be the one?

With a smile on his face, he looked tired and went downstairs, and sat across from him.The cold-looking girl glanced at him, tapped her finger on the table, and wrote, "What do you think?"

Gu Zhuangcheng rubbed his chin, thoughtfully said: "He spoke vaguely and did not reveal much information. But...he was right about one thing, if it keeps being so unclear, Yangui Town will become a town sooner or later. Dead city. At that time, no matter who it is, they will not be able to get out."

Yanqing withdrew her hands, tucked them in her sleeves, and frowned slightly, as if she was worried about how to solve the big trouble in the town.

The beauty frowned, no matter who saw it, it was heart-wrenching, and Gu Zhuangcheng was no exception.

He comforted: "Girls who are tired of youth don't have to worry, I will go outside to check later."

Yanqing looked at him: "How do you check?"

Gu Zhuangcheng smiled and said: "Since there are gods sacrificed in Yangui Town, there must be records of this. I'll find a way to borrow it for a look."

Oh, it turned out to be a thief.The youth-weary girl curled her lips, but she couldn't think of a better way, so she could only nod her head in agreement.

At this time, Gu Zhuangcheng said again: "But girls who are tired of youth don't have to go together."

The cold girl looked at him dissatisfied.

"Leave this kind of rough work to me. If the girl has nothing to do, she can go around the town more. When I went out this morning, I saw a lot of interesting things. I think the girl should like it." Gu Zhuang Cheng smiled.

Yanqing looked at him for a moment, lowered his eyes to think for a moment, and agreed.

The two talked for a while, and Gu Zhuangcheng left first, looking quite impatient.

Tired of waiting for him to leave, she slowly drank the tea in the pot and left the inn.To prevent trouble, she specially covered her face with a light veil.

What Gu Zhuangcheng said is true, there are quite a lot of strange gadgets in Yangui Town, many of which are not seen outside.Tired of Qing looked all the way, but was also dazzled.

"This girl, the best rouge powder! How about a box?"

A kind and kind mother-in-law is carrying a bamboo basket with a piece of floral cloth on the top of the basket, which is full of rouge and gouache.

The look of disgusting green changed slightly, but he still shook his head patiently.

She didn't buy it, and her mother-in-law didn't stop her, she still greeted the next customer with a smile.

It's a pity that the girls stopped by her either avoided her, or turned a blind eye and hurried past her.

Yanqing stopped and watched for a moment, and stroked the dust that did not exist on his body.This town is full of weirdness, but it's a pity that there is nothing wrong with it for a while.

When I was tired of youth, I came empty-handed, and when I returned to the inn, I was still empty-handed.

Gu Zhuangcheng had already returned, and asked for a private room on the second floor to wait for her.Seeing her push the door open, a smile appeared on her lips, and she raised the booklet in her hand by the way: "This trip is worthwhile."

Yanqing took off her veil and sat down.The booklet was spread out on the table, and the opened page recorded the sacrifices to the gods of Yangui Town for hundreds of years.

Hundreds of years ago, Yangui Town was just a small island, surrounded by boundless sea water, and the residents of the island worshiped the God of the Sea every year, praying for good weather.

Hundreds of years have passed, the plateau has turned into flat land, the ocean has turned into mountains and rivers, and Yangui Town has turned into a small city surrounded by mountains on three sides, but the habit of offering sacrifices to the Sea God has been preserved to this day.The sacrificial items are also changed from sea fish to pigs, cattle and sheep.

On a thin page, not much can be recorded, and there are no clues at first glance.Gu Zhuangcheng thought for a while, went out and called Xiao Er, and threw him a piece of silver: "Little Brother, I have something unclear, please ask Xiao Er to clarify."

Xiaoer smiled and said: "Guest officer, tell me, the little one must know everything and say everything!"

Gu Zhuangcheng said: "I was eating in the lobby in the morning, and I overheard someone saying that after the Sea God Festival, there will always be a few people who die, but is it true?"

"Oh, my uncle, please keep your voice down!"

Xiao Er was frightened out of his wits, he looked around suspiciously, and said in a small voice, "Guest officer, I told you, you should enjoy it, don't just talk nonsense!"

"You said."

Xiao Er swallowed, lowered his voice and said, "Actually, this matter is really evil..."

The Sea God Ceremony four years ago was as lively and crowded as ever, and it was the same situation earlier, so everyone didn't pay much attention to it.

But that day, when everyone was about to leave after offering sacrifices to the gods, a big crack suddenly opened on the ground, and the whole altar sank, and the sea water with waves was underneath. I feel relaxed all over.

Everyone thought it was a manifestation of the sea god, and they squeezed to see it, but the few people in front couldn't dodge it, so they were squeezed and fell into the water.Coincidentally, as soon as those people fell into the water, the big seam gradually closed.

After that, such incidents occurred every year at the Sea God Festival. At first, people were trembling, for fear that the gods would be angry, but later they realized that their lives were better than before, so they didn't take it seriously.

What's more, those people who died were ignorant and idle. Relying on their own strength, they almost became the scourge of the party that caused the disaster. If they can be dealt with by the gods, they can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.

It's just this matter, the evil door is here.The corpses of those people will appear on the altar in a few days, as if the gods sent them back after enjoying the sacrifices!

But when they were sent back, they were all skinny, with no flesh and blood inside!

After Gu Zhuangcheng listened, he pondered thoughtfully for a while, and when he came back to his senses, Xiao Er was still looking at him eagerly, as if waiting for his question, and couldn't help laughing: "Thank you, Brother Xiao Er, next time Understood."

"No thanks, no thanks, guest officer, you are busy!" Little Eryi heard that he had nothing to do with himself, smiled very brightly, nodded and bowed and backed out.

Seeing him as if facing a formidable enemy, Gu Zhuangcheng smiled helplessly, and looked back at Yanqing: "What do you think, Miss Yanqing?"

Yanqing: "Something is strange."

Gu Zhuang said intentionally, isn't it the same as if you didn't say it?But on the surface, he still agrees: "The girl is right."

Tired of looking at him, she could see that he was just trying to explain herself, and she didn't try to defend herself, she just wrote: "Duan Feiqiu, Chengzhi, Xiao Erge, one of them must be a fake."

Gu Zhuangcheng's eyes moved, and he asked softly: "You mean..."

Yanqing nodded slightly, and wrote: "I suspect Duan Feiqiu."

"Why is this?"

Yanqing wrote: "It's too coincidental."

Gu Zhuangcheng thought about it carefully, yes, how could they happen to hear someone talking about the Sea God Festival while they were eating?Duan Feiqiu's appearance seemed to be deliberately waiting for them.

"But it doesn't make sense. If what Duan Feiqiu said is true, why did he warn us to leave quickly?" Gu Zhuangcheng was still puzzled.

For this point, I can't figure it out even if I'm tired of green.But she still doubted Duan Feiqiu.No reason.

Because something was hidden in their hearts, the two of them went back to their rooms to rest without eating much at night.

Fortunately, they had enough time to tear apart the secrets of Yangui Town bit by bit.

Walking on the dark alley, the watchman couldn't help yawning big, and then tapped his clapper twice.

He gambled money during the day, won a lot of money, and made a lot of money!I'm a little sleepy now.

While walking, there seemed to be a person standing at the entrance of the alley.The watchman narrowed his eyes, walked over cautiously, and said, "My lord, it's already the second watch, why haven't you come home yet? But I'm—uh——"

The rest of the watchman's words were stuck in his throat. He was floating in the air, his eyes were wide open, his hands were clutching his neck, his face was flushed, and he was struggling constantly.

Within half a cup of tea, his struggling gradually weakened, and his body fell to the ground with a plop, gradually becoming cold.The figure at the alley stopped for a moment before slowly dissipating.

"what--"

Early the next morning, as soon as the residents of that alley went out, they were frightened out of their wits by the corpse in front of the door, and uttered heart-piercing shouts.

When Gu Zhuangcheng and Yanqing heard the news, they hurried over, pushed aside the crowd of onlookers, squeezed to the front, and saw the corpse——

The flesh and blood in that person's body seemed to evaporate out of thin air overnight, leaving only skin and bones!

The two looked at each other, and they both remembered what Xiaoer said yesterday.

After all, they are outsiders, and they cannot ask to see the corpse.It can only gradually disperse with the flow of people.

On the way back, Gu Zhuangcheng broke the silence: "It's finally started."

Tired of green nodded.

Gu Zhuangcheng said: "I thought that there was still a lot of time waiting for me to investigate slowly. But now it seems..." He paused, and smiled, "Actually, Duan Feiqiu is right in one sentence."

Looking at him in disbelief.

"It won't be long before Yangui Town will become a dead city." Gu Zhuangcheng repeated in a low voice, "Do you think he is reminding or prophesying?"

Regardless of the possibility, there is not much time left for them.

Gu Zhuangcheng thought of the big cloud in the sky that he saw when he first arrived, and he thought it had something to do with the Sea God Festival.

The two of them were not in a hurry to go back to the inn, they just walked around the town slowly.

"I told you that your family is going to be in disaster, why are you so ignorant?"

As he was walking, a familiar voice came from afar.Taking a closer look, it was Duan Feiqiu who was being chased and beaten with a broom by a middle-aged woman.When he saw an acquaintance, he was overjoyed, "Brother Gu, Miss Shen!"

It seems that there is no way to escape.

Gu Zhuangcheng wiped his face, and greeted him with a suspicious smile: "Brother Duan, what are you?"

"Don't mention it, I just kindly remind this aunt to be careful with fire, otherwise she will chase her for three streets for fear of bloody disasters—ouch!" As he was speaking, Duan Feiqiu was suddenly hit again, bared in pain Grinning.

Gu Zhuangcheng suppressed a smile, stopped in front of the aunt, and said with an apologetic smile: "My aunt, this friend of mine can't speak, please forgive him this time!"

The middle-aged woman put her hands on her hips, exhaled fiercely from her nose, glared at Duan Feiqiu who was hiding behind Gu Zhuangcheng and refused to show her face, and cursed: "Next time, if you dare to talk nonsense, I will take you all Skin!"

Duan Feiqiu was so frightened that he almost didn't cry!

The middle-aged woman spat again, carried a big broom, and walked away briskly.

Only then did Duan Feiqiu dare to show his head, and when he saw that the person had really gone away, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, looking as if he had escaped from the sky, which was inexplicably funny.

It's just that Gu Zhuangcheng couldn't laugh.He looked at the friend he had just met yesterday, trying to see something different in him.

But no matter how he looked at it, this person still looked like this, obviously very young, but slovenly.

Duan Feiqiu regained his breath and glanced at them: "You...haven't left yet?"

Gu Zhuangcheng was stunned for a moment, and said: "Well, yes. I planned to leave today, but someone died early in the morning. Now the gate of the city is also blocked, and no one is allowed to enter or exit, so I can't leave."

Duan Feiqiu's face suddenly became very strange, with a half-smile: "Really?"

"Let's not talk about that, brother Duan, I saw you there just now, why were you chased and beaten by the aunt just now?"

Duan Feiqiu's flustered expression flashed across: "Really? Maybe you read it wrong? I was chased by that aunt for three streets, how could I go to see the corpse?"

"I see." Gu Zhuangcheng rolled his eyes and responded with a smile.
