Chapter 108 Strange Man City (Thanks to the lost monthly pass)

bang ~ bang ~ bang ~
"One watch drum sounds, the sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful of fire candles! God..."

In the quiet street, a hunchbacked elderly man was beating the gongs and drums in his hands, singing and reporting the time as always.

There is always a strange sense of gloom in the dark and deserted streets at night, which is why many timid people dare not walk at night.

But the old man is not afraid. After many years of fighting, he is very familiar with every plant and tree along the street, not to mention the darkness of night, even if he is blindfolded, he can walk around without any mistakes.

The old man walked unhurriedly, and suddenly saw something reflecting light on the ground in the distance.Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a brand new golden hairpin.

"Hey, which girl's hairpin is this?"

The nobile is heavy in the hand, besides the charming golden light, there is actually a bright sapphire inlaid on it.The color of the gemstone is pure, and even an uninitiated person will know that this thing is valuable after seeing it.

Gently rubbing the gold hairpin, the watchman's cloudy eyes could not help showing a hint of greed.

In the past, if the things he picked up were not valuable, he would kindly return them to the owner, in exchange for a good reputation among the neighbors.

But if it is precious silver, he will spend it without burden to support his family.It's not too much for God to give me some rewards every night, rain or shine, right?
"Go to the pawnshop tomorrow and get half a catty of good wine."

Cautiously hiding the golden hairpin close to his body, the old watchman grinned, and walked with a bit of joy in his steps, and even the singing voice raised a little unconsciously.

"Drums sound at the second watch, doors and windows are closed to prevent theft and theft..."

The voice gradually faded away as the watchman left, and the hunchback seemed to be a little more bent.

At the moment when the moonlight was covered by dark clouds, no one saw, a woman in white clothed in sackcloth and filial piety was sitting on the watchman's shoulders, with a happy smile on her lips.

After tonight, many unowned rare objects appeared in every corner of Hexi City, and I don't know how many lucky people were able to pick them up.

……

"Hurry up, Bai Yuan, the breakfast at the Jushan Building is the most delicious in Hexi City, if you go late, there will be no seats!"

Outside the small courtyard where Chai Jiangcui lived, Yuwen Fengye was lying at the door, urging him treacherously.

Some time ago, the little fox ran around in Yuwen's house, and accidentally met this talented girl from Yuwen's house.One person and one fox hit each other very well, but in just a few days, the two became good friends who talked about everything.

"Come on, come on! Keep your voice down, the master is still sleeping, so don't wake her up."

A white shadow jumped over the courtyard wall and landed precisely on Yuwen Fengye's shoulder.

After ruthlessly stroking the little fox's soft hair, Yuwen Fengye took a peek at the courtyard, and heaved a sigh of relief when he found that there was no movement.

"Can you blame me? We agreed to gather in the courtyard at Maoshi. I waited for you for a long time and didn't see a fox shadow."

Hearing Yuwen Fengye's complaint, Bai Yuan's ears drooped slightly, he rubbed his paws in embarrassment, and argued in a low voice:

"I'm just a fox, how can I know what time it is, you didn't make it clear..."

"Then why did you agree so readily before? You're obviously cheating."

"You must have heard wrong, I didn't, I don't know..."

……

One person and one fox were chattering, and had already left Yuwen's mansion without knowing it.

When she came to the street, Yuwen Fengye became much quieter immediately. It wasn't that she didn't want to make noise, but that ordinary people couldn't see the little fox, and she was easily taken as a fool by passers-by when she babbled alone.

The Jushan building is also in the center of the city, not too far from Yuwen's mansion.

Not long after leaving the mansion, Yuwen Fengye realized that something was wrong today.

Usually, during this time period, the streets are not crowded with people, but they are definitely considered lively.But now not only are there fewer hawkers out there, but even passers-by are worried.

'Is this something big? '

Yuwen Fengye was puzzled, and just wanted to ask a passerby about the situation, but saw a team of yamen servants pushing three carts covered with white cloth, struggling to come out of a large courtyard.

Behind those yamen servants, there were a few weeping female relatives. Judging from the shape of the objects under the white cloth, it seemed to be a few stacked corpses?
The owner of the compound, Yuwen Fengye, knew him. This was the residence of Mr. Chen, the largest cloth merchant in the city, and he provided Yuwen's family with high-quality fabrics every year.

Exercising the art of listening to the wind, Yuwen Fengye got a very shocking news during the conversation between the yamen servant and several female relatives.

The master of the Chen family died, not only him, but all the male members of the huge Chen family died strangely.

"The evil cultivator moved his hand?"

Yuwen Fengye immediately thought of the evil cultivator lurking in the city, and immediately looked serious, and walked straight to the gate of the Chen family without the slightest hesitation.

"I am the head of Yuwen's family. Can you let me check the condition of the corpse?"

Seeing Yuwen Fengye take out the token of Yuwen's family, the impatient attitude of several yamen servants immediately became kind.

The flower-haired catcher in the lead hugged her fists solemnly, and said politely:

"Since you are a nobleman of Yuwen's family, there is no problem, but please be prepared, the death of the Chen family is a bit unusual."

Yuwen Fengye nodded slightly when she heard the words, and then, regardless of the tangled expressions of the Chen family's women, she gently held a corner and pushed the white cloth away.

But seeing the scene under the cloth, even though she was prepared, Yuwen Fengye still lost the idea of ​​going to the dining room for breakfast in an instant, and Bai Yuan on her shoulder made a slight retching sound directly.

It's not that Bai Yuan's ability to bear is weak, but that the scene under the cloth is really exciting.

There were five corpses piled up on the cart. These corpses had no smell, but after removing the white cloth, what they saw was densely packed with maggots!

These maggots were only the size of a pinhead and no more than an inch long, but they were numerous.They crawled around inside the corpse, twisting their bodies frantically.

Looking at the body that has now become a "beehive", Yuwen Fengye slowly put down the white cloth.

She had already done a preliminary inspection just now, and there was indeed no trace of spiritual power on the corpse, but these bugs were absolutely impossible to be natural creations.

Yuwen Maple Leaf grows so big, I have never heard of parasites that can eat the host into a nest overnight in nature!
The complexions of several yamen servants are not very good at the moment. Obviously, the moment Yuwen Maple Leaf lifted the white cloth brought back some bad memories for them just now.

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Yuwen Fengye raised his head and asked the female relatives:
"When did you first find these bodies? Where did you find them?"

Facing Yuwen Fengye's questioning, an older woman with an extraordinary bearing replied with grief:

"I found it in the study early this morning. The first to die was my eldest son, and then the master and all the men in the Chen residence had worms growing on their bodies one after another..."

The woman's voice was filled with endless grief, but to the servants at the side, these words were no less than Jiuyou Hanfeng.

Earlier they saw the female family members of the Chen family crying to death one by one. Based on the principle of not causing trouble to the big family, they planned to wait for these female family members to stabilize their mood before asking for details.

But who would have imagined that this incident was so horrifying.They are also men, and they also entered the house and touched the corpse. The death conditions are all alive!

Huafa Catcher was thinking wildly in his mind, when he suddenly felt itchy in his nasal cavity, he couldn't help but use his hand to dig it out.With the little little finger gently pulling it out, what was pulled out was not booger, but a few nematodes entangled together.

The appearance of the worm was exactly the same as the one on the corpse! !
