Strengthening starts from the county magistrate

Chapter 119 Please Tell Your Story!
In the courtyard under heavy snow.

The woman Yuxiuer still looked haggard with a sallow face.

In my impression, it seems that she was like this when she came to report to the official before, with a gray coarse cotton coat, and her hands locked tightly all the time.

It's just compared to the calloused hands I saw last time.

This time her hands were a little softer.

"Master County Magistrate." Yu Xiu'er bowed her head nervously and called out weakly.

Shen Mu smiled and walked in, the courtyard was already covered with thick snow, and the aisle in the middle was covered.

When he came in front of the woman, he took a look: "Last time you came to report to the police, because the case was urgent, so you forgot to come and take a look. Are you the only one in your family?"

The desolation in Yu Xiuer's eyes disappeared in a flash, and she forced a smile on her face.

"More adults care about it. The old man in Minnv's family has long been buried. The man in the family went out to work many years ago and never came back. So I am the only one left in the family."

Shen Mu nodded when he heard the words, what Yu Xiuer said was basically consistent with the household registration records, and most of the people in Fengjiang actually had this situation.

Some of the strong men in the family went out to make money, and even if they were just doing it, they might earn more than staying in Fengjiang.

However, many of those who went out really left, and did not expect to come back one day.

What is left will always be left behind, day by day is counted as a day.

People are old and poor, birth, old age, sickness and death, most of them just let nature take its course.

Of course, it's different now, sealing borders is much more interesting than other counties.

"People died in your courtyard before, aren't you afraid?" Shen Mu asked again.

The woman greeted Shen Mu to enter the living room and take a seat. Inside was a small brazier with a pot of hot water boiling on it, as if there was no tea at home.

It's just that Yu Xiu'er didn't seem to have any intention of pouring a bowl for Shen Mu, she sat opposite and said calmly.

"Before Fengjiang, people often died. If you see more, you won't be afraid."

"Oh, it's a bit bitter. If your man comes back, maybe the future will be better than now."

Yu Xiu'er chuckled: "I'll just treat him as dead. I've lived a good life these years too. I chop firewood, cook by myself, and go to the grave by myself every year. There's nothing hard or hard, just living."

Shen Mu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and looked at the paper money that had been prepared underground.

"Are you going to go to the grave to burn paper?"

"Yes, I was going to go, but my lord is here."

Shen Mu looked at Yu Xiu'er's eyes, and slowly got up: "That's really unfortunate, it's okay, then I'll go to the grave with you."

"Are you coming with me?" Yu Xiu'er was a little surprised: "The cemetery is in the back hill of the county town, and the road is not easy to walk, so I don't want it anymore, my lord."

Most of the women are like this, if you don't want it, you just want it, Shen Mu waved his hand: "It's okay, as a county magistrate, I should care about the people. It just so happens that I will go to the back mountain of the county town, just take a casual walk to relax."

"..." Yuxiu was stunned.

This sounds a bit wrong, people are going to pay respects to their ancestors at the grave, you said you go there to relax?No matter how it sounds, it feels a bit frenzied.

"grown ups."

"Ok?"

"The folk girl is not young anymore, and she is not as beautiful as before. Please don't move other thoughts..."

Shen Mu's eyelids twitched, his whole body was not well.

What do you say?What do you mean?Shouldn't you be thinking wrong?He is a gentleman!
"Cough, you misunderstood. I don't mean anything else. I really just drop in."

"..." Yu Xiuer's eyes were strange.

It's just that seeing Shen Mu's insistence on this, it seems that there is no reason to refuse, so he can only nod and acquiesce.

Shen Mu looked at her eyes, and couldn't help complaining, is he so wretched?This can be misunderstood, as if it will really do something to her.

I'm not those two people outside!
After making simple preparations, Shen Mu and others followed Yu Xiuer to the back mountain.

Go out of the city gate and go around the fields.

Follow the path all the way to the back.

Shenmu is still very familiar with this road, because the last [mutation/amplification] field is at the foot of the back mountain.

But he is not worried, because there is a cover of the home system there, no one can use that field except himself, and it is almost the same as an ordinary field when seen by others.

The heavy snow was messy, and the road was a bit difficult to walk.

Yu Xiu'er carried a basket full of paper money and walked slowly ahead.

By the time we reached the foot of the mountain, the sky was already dark.

In the middle of the trip, Cao Zhengxiang and Zhao Taiji parted ways, saying they had something to do temporarily.

Yu Xiu'er pointed to the graves on the mountainside.

"My lord, will you go up with me?"

Shen Mu looked at it, then nodded and said: "Since I'm here, I will accompany you to have a look."

Yu Xiu'er blinked, and suddenly smiled.

The smile appeared suddenly, as if it was the first time she had such an expression on her face.

The cold wind was blowing, the sky was dark, and the surroundings were extremely quiet.

Along the snow-covered mountain road, Shen Mu followed Yu Xiuer up the mountain one after the other, and the only sound of feet stepping on the snow could be heard along the way.

Just walking, Shen Mu found something strange!

Walking through the snow should have footprints, there were before, but as you walk, the higher you climb, the shallower Yu Xiuer's footprints seem to be in front of you.

Until the end even the footprints are gone.

The sound fell silent.

No more footsteps.

The wind and snow seemed to be isolated from the outside, which could be seen but not heard.

next moment!
The woman, Yu Xiu'er, left her feet off the ground, and turned her head to reveal a creepy smile!

"Master County Magistrate~."

Shen Mu lowered his head and raised his sleeves, without looking up at her.

The heat in his sleeves maintained the warmth of his hands, and he shook his head slightly with a smile on his lips.

"Why don't you go?"

Yu Xiu'er in front looked at Shen Mu strangely, answered the irrelevant question, and opened her mouth lightly.

"How did you find me? If you knew it in advance, why did you wait until today?"

Shen Mu thought for a while, and finally raised his head and said: "At first, I just felt that something was wrong, or I was just suspicious. In fact, there was no reason, it was pure intuition. In addition, I had to deal with Liu Songren before, so let's put it aside."

while talking.

Shen Mu picked up a piece of paper money that was blown down by the wind, and smiled: "But I went to your house today, and then I confirmed it. You said that you cut firewood and cook by yourself, but in your yard, there is no Footprints coming in and out, no firewood, no food, isn't that too strange?"

Yuxiuer dropped the basket in her hand.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and gradually became deep and narrow, and the arc of the corner of her mouth was extremely terrifying, even a little distorted!

"Magistrate Shen, why don't you keep pretending you didn't see it? Hahaha, your yang energy is very good. I like it very much. I wanted to keep you."

Yu Xiu'er's voice has changed a little, becoming more delicate and sharp, as if replaced by a young woman.

It's just that her appearance at the moment can't make people have other associations at all.

Shen Mu looked at her expressionlessly, feeling a little cold in his heart.

So, back then, the ghost press was just such a thing that pressed on top of me?

No, why did he remember that it was a female ghost in red?
The body is getting better, the skin is delicate, not enchanting, but now this...

He was somewhat unable to accept it.

Having said that, in fact, his explanation just now was not comprehensive. The reason why he was able to discover and doubt it was because of another detail.

At that time, he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't remember it for a while, but he found the answer later.

That's when this Yuxiuer appeared in front of him.

[Happiness Index] is not displayed at all!
The problem is here.

But for all the people in the frontier, Shen Mu can remind the [happiness index] information displayed on the top of the opponent's head.

But this Yuxiuer did not.

But her name is on the household registration register in Fengjiang.

Then there is only one possibility, this person is not the real Yu Xiuer.

Or, this Yu Xiu'er in front of her is not a human being at all, but a monster, a monster!
Shen Mu looked up at the extra red moon in the sky, and asked with some doubts:
"It stands to reason that you should have been well hidden in Fengjiang, and you haven't committed any crimes before. If there are no accidents, I might not be able to find you, but why couldn't you help but kill those foreign monks that day? I don't understand."

at this time!

Yu Xiuer above unexpectedly changed another appearance at some point!
The coarse cotton coat on his body has long since disappeared, replaced by white bones.

But only the head was replaced by a young woman with red lips, coquettish and sexy.

Yu Xiu'er smiled coldly, seeming to be angry.

"Because they are damned!"

"Damn? Why should you die?" Shen Mu looked at the beautiful Yu Xiuer, and suddenly remembered a scene, he stretched out his hand to her, and said loudly: "Friend, please tell your story!"
