Scholar is Addicted [Rebirth]

Li Lin continued: "These people are corpse-removing artisans on the western mountain side. They have a special way to keep the corpse from decomposing. Besides, they only walk in the middle of the night. Most people will stay away from this kind of situation and basically have no exposure. Possibly, so if it weren't for the internal strife between them, it would be impossible for such a thing to happen."

Yin Cheng asked: "Who owns that old house in the neighboring town?"

"Oh, it's the old house of a third-rank official who resigned. His surname is Yu. He's quite a clean official. But, three years ago, the magistrate of Qing County paid back [-] snowflakes of silver. I saved all my savings under the old house, but on the way back to my hometown, I was caught by a thief, and the whole family died. This happened about half a year ago, and there was a sensation for a while at that time, sir, have you forgotten?"

Having said that, both Yin Cheng and Yin Xing remembered that there was indeed such a thing half a year ago. At that time, the official’s property was confiscated, but no one thought that he hid gold and silver in the old house. At that time, it was said that a relative took over and could not accept it. From this point of view, that relative was Mr. Zheng.

It's no wonder that he has to use this method to transport, those things are supposed to be included in the national treasury, and he hides them like this because he stole money from the dynasty.

Yin Chengdao: "The old man of the Zheng family checked it? Is it related to Master Yu's death?"

It has to be said that Yin Cheng is keen, this coincidence is a bit too much.

Li Lin approached Yin Cheng and blinked: "You're right, it's about him. Those thieves were hired by him. He and Master Yu have been friends for many years. They grew up together. He was the one who helped out when it came to property, but in the end, this man killed seventeen of his family, big and small, just because he was greedy for the gold and silver of your lord!"

Yin Cheng looked at Yin Xing, and Yin Xing was listening with his chin on his hands. He glanced at Shu Sheng who was sitting next to him from time to time, and looked at Shu Sheng again. He clenched his hands into fists and pursed his lips tightly.

Yin Cheng vaguely felt that something was wrong with the scholar after he said that the old man of the Zheng family killed his friend for money.

Yin Cheng found out, and Yin Xing naturally found out too.

In fact, Yin Xing has always been curious about what that Jiang Han did to Shu Sheng after getting along these days, but it's hard for him to ask if Shu Sheng doesn't tell him.

All I know is that Jiang Han is playing Shu Sheng's idea.

This alone made Yin Xing very upset. Seeing Shu Sheng's performance after listening to these words, Yin Xing began to speculate again, whether Jiang Han also betrayed Shu Sheng?

Needless to say, he guessed right.

Shu Sheng felt very uncomfortable at the moment. It turned out that for the sake of those false names and things outside of the body, she really could do anything in this world. Seven lives.

And what about myself?The friendship between myself and Jiang Han for more than ten years is also not as good as a paper test.

There are always some people who give up a lot of precious things for the so-called fame and fortune, for the glory and wealth.

Shu Sheng looked up at Yin Xing, his eyes were confused, he didn't know if one day, this man who treats him so well and allows him to bully at will will also hurt himself because of some unknown factors and temptations?

Shu Sheng didn't dare to think about it, nor did she want to think about it, but those painful memories always reminded herself that people's hearts are unpredictable.

This is a kind of fear that even death cannot relieve. Shu Sheng is afraid of death. He has already died once, and he doesn't want to have a second time.

Shu Sheng didn't want to have this feeling of being reborn, but with those painful memories.

Yin Xing saw that Shu Sheng's brows were getting tighter and tighter, and the confusion in his eyes was getting more and more serious, so he knew that this nerd was thinking about something again.

Yin Xing pursed his lips, turned his head to look at Yin Cheng, nodded to him as a greeting, then stood up and hugged Shu Sheng.

Shu Sheng put his arms around Yin Xing's neck obediently, without saying a word.

Yin Xing carried Shu Sheng back to the inn.

The man's steady footsteps and the sound of a strong heartbeat are right next to Shu Sheng's ears.

"Yin Xing."

Shu Sheng shouted softly.

"I'm here." Yin Xing replied, looking down at him.

The scholar in his arms was staring at him intently, hesitated for a while, then lowered his head again: "It's nothing."

How could Yin Xing fail to guess what he was thinking?Helpless, this bookworm is so sensitive that it hurts.

Yin Xing stopped in his tracks, looked at him seriously, and said softly but firmly: "Study, there will be no such day."

The man's sharp eyes looked at him without blinking, and the dark brown pupils reflected the image of an uneasy scholar, earnestly and firmly making some kind of the simplest promise.

But surprisingly reassuring.

For a moment, Shu Sheng felt a little sunken, this man is really damn good-looking, and damn reliable.

……

Back at the inn, Shu Sheng had basically calmed down his depressed mood.

Mu Yan washed a bunch of grapes and gave him two ends to come in. Yin Xing handed it to Shu Sheng and asked Mu Yan, "Where are Mu Chen and Mu Qing?"

"Oh, he and Wei Ze are together." Mu Yan said: "Over there, they are discussing how those corpse hunters made the corpse stand up and walk. The Lord Cheng is interested, and he wanted to ask the prisoner Well, Lord Cheng said he didn't want to ask, so they are all thinking about it."

"Oh?" Yin Xing turned to look at Shu Sheng who was eating grapes, and leaned over: "Study, don't you?"

"Let the corpse follow them?" Shu Sheng raised his head and asked.

"En." Yin Xing and Mu Yan nodded together.

Shu Sheng said: "Didn't I tell you last time that it was propped up with bamboo poles? Didn't you understand?"

Yin Xing rubbed his chin, squinted at Shu Sheng for a while, then patted Shu Sheng's shoulder lightly: "Bookworm, let them see."

Shu Sheng looked at Yin Xing and blinked, then turned his head and waved at Mu Yan. Mu Yan leaned over, and Shu Sheng whispered in his ear for a while.

Yin Xing suddenly realized: "It's like this...."

Mu Yan clapped his hands happily: "Sir, what a great idea! I'll go right away!"

Yin Xing watched Mu Yan go out, picked a grape and shook it at Shu Sheng: "Come on, bookworm, open your mouth, I will reward you!"

Shu Sheng opened his mouth with a smile and asked Yin Xing to feed him.

That night, Yin Cheng was disturbed by the noise outside the window. He leaned over the window and saw a group of four people wearing loose black clothes, walking neatly on the street. The gong beat as he walked.

Yin Cheng squinted his eyes, turned to look at Li Lin next to him: "Have you figured it out?"

Li Lin also looked outside and said, "It should be."

Yin Cheng turned around and walked out the door: "Go and have a look."

In the courtyard downstairs, there were many hidden guards around, all watching the imitation corpse exorcism team.

Those people in a row of four are all in the same posture, arms outstretched, dangling in the yard.

When Yin Cheng went down, everyone got out of the way, Wei Ze came over: "Master, it's done, that's how it is."

Yin Cheng went over, and the hidden guard who was beating the gong put down the gong, and those behind him also took off their wide black clothes. Only then did Yin Cheng see clearly that there were two living people in the front and back, and the one in the middle was Two scarecrows, this scarecrow is very delicate, about the size of an ordinary person, with arms and legs, wearing clothes and hats, at first glance it is still a person.

A long bamboo pole passed under the scarecrow's armpit clothes, and when it was lifted over the shoulders of the two people in front and behind, the loose robes covered them, and they became the corpses they had seen before.

"Who came up with it?"

Yin Cheng glanced at them, Li Lin stretched out a finger and pointed upwards, looking up along Li Lin's finger.

The window of the room where Yin Xing and Shu Sheng lived was open, Yin Xing and Shu Sheng were lying on the edge of the bed watching the scene below, Shu Sheng was still eating a piece of pastry in his hand.

Yin Cheng waved at the two of them, Shu Sheng smiled embarrassedly, Yin Xing stretched out his hand and patted Shu Sheng's head - nerd, good job.

Yin Cheng squinted his eyes and touched his chin, raised his eyebrows at Yin Xing—yo, your scholar is very useful.

Yin Xing raised his chin triumphantly - that is.
