Xie Shizi's shameless daily life

Zhao Shu's expression tightened, and her hand involuntarily clenched the water cup in front of her. She asked in a dry voice, "Where is it?"

Xie Jin looked from her hands to her face: "Halfway up the mountain in Shui Village."

Zhao Shu was startled, then frowned and asked, "Why are you there?"

Xie Jin asked back: "Is there any problem?"

Zhao Shu looked at him and said in a deep voice, "I've been there. That village gave people a bad feeling. It was lifeless."

Zhao Shu: "Besides, the people there always cover their faces with black veils, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed to look at you. It's quite creepy."

Xie Jin raised an eyebrow: "From your tone, it seems like you are quite familiar with that place?"

Zhao Shu was startled, and evaded the question by saying, "I'm not very familiar with it. I only went there once when I first came to Mi County."

Zhao Shu obviously didn't want to dwell on this topic any further: "I want to go and see it myself."

Xie Jin stared fixedly at her face, his expression calm, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Zhao Shu calmly poured a cup and sipped it slowly. Just when the cup touched her lips, she heard Xie Jin say without any emotion: "Okay."

Zhao Shu tilted her head to look at him. Xie Jin lowered his head to drink tea, his brows slightly furrowed, making it impossible to see his expression.

Xie Jin drank a cup of tea before turning to look at her again and explaining her current situation: "How are you going? Right now, the people of Mi County are staring at this house like wolves and tigers. Once you step out of this door, I'm afraid everyone in Mi County will know."

Zhao Shu was a little unwilling, but she also knew that what Xie Jin said was true, so she lowered her head and said nothing. After a while, she struggled and said, "Is there really no other way for me to get out?"

Xie Jin's gaze lingered on the aggrieved, sad, and stubborn face of the person in front of him. He frowned and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and said without allowing any argument: "No!"

If there was no plague in Mi County now, he would naturally have a way to let her go out, but there was a plague in Mi County now, so he naturally had no way to let her go out.

Xie Jin looked at Zhao Shu with a gentle but powerful expression: "I will not let go of any clues, so don't worry."

Zhao Shu's somewhat irritable mood miraculously calmed down. She looked at Xie Jin and nodded, replying in her heart, OK, I'm not worried.

Xie Jin looked at her with dim eyes, as if he heard what she said in her heart.

Xie Jin came here just to tell Zhao Shu the news. Now that the news has been revealed, he did not stay any longer. Zhao Shu followed Xie Jin and saw him out.

When Xie Jin stepped out of the door, he paused, then said, "I will tell you if there is any news." After he finished speaking, he stepped out of the door.

Xie Jin returned to his residence and called Xie Er.

Xie Er stood respectfully in the room, only to see his master sitting behind a half-hidden desk, the expression on his face unclear.

Xie Jin said in a low voice: "Go ask what happened when Shu'er first arrived in Shui Village." He paused and added: "Ask about everything, no matter how big or small!"

Xie Er bowed and clasped his fists: "Yes!"

The sound of the door closing was heard, and Xie Jin slowly leaned back on the chair, staring at the beams of the house with his eyes, then gently closed them.

The tone of the narration is as if the girl has been to the Water Village, but why would a girl want to stay in a strange little village?

Xie Er did his job efficiently and effectively, and within an hour, he had returned.

Xie Er had followed Xie Jin for many years, so he knew the difference in the prince's heart about Miss Shu'er, so he felt that the words he was about to say were a bit hot.

Xie Jin was still half hidden in the light. Although Xie Er couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, he felt an invisible pressure.

Xie Er lowered his head and said respectfully: "Miss Shu'er went to Mi County with her parents and siblings. After arriving in Mi County, they went to Shui Village, where they met a so-called "real person". With the help of that real person, an aphasic baby could speak, and later the baby's mother was grateful to the "real person"." Under the increasingly sharp gaze above his head, Xie Er's voice gradually lowered, and finally he could no longer utter a word.

Xie Er originally wanted to narrate the process slowly to avoid giving the prince a big shock, but it was obvious that the prince's patience was almost exhausted. If he continued to talk too much at this time, he would probably end up like the "real person" in Shui Village.

Although the "real person" in Shui Village is still alive and well, it may not be the case in a few days! Xie Er lowered his head very low: "The so-called "real person" said that Miss Shu'er's fate conflicts with that of Young Master Zhao, and also said that Miss Shu'er had too many grievances in her previous life, and people who get close to her will be involved in bad things. Therefore, the "real person" suggested taking a bowl of Miss Shu'er's heart blood to eliminate the disaster for Young Master Zhao!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent, deathly silent.

After a while, Xie Jin said in a low voice, "Is it that the "real person" also spread the news that Shu'er is a disaster star?"

Xie Er always knew that the prince was extremely perceptive: "Yes."

Xie Er didn't dare to look up. The hoarse voice of the person in front of him came: "Go and check where Shuicun came from and the people in Shuicun!"

Xie Er immediately responded: "Yes!"

Xie Jin stroked the teacup on the table and said, "Tomorrow, you bring a few people with me to the hillside of Shui Village."

Xie Er paused, then immediately realized what the prince meant: "Yes!"

Xie Er took the order and went out. The room became quiet again. Xie Jin kept stroking the rim of the cup, repeating the action over and over again. Suddenly, a fierce look flashed across his face. There was a "bang" sound, and the cup next to Xie Jin was thrown to the ground by him.

The hand that Xie Jin had used to throw the teacup had a small cut on the palm of his hand. It was very shallow, just enough to scrape the skin and bleed a little.

Clouds rolled across the sky, and the yellow light became darker and darker until the sky became completely silent.

The stars and the moon change, the constellations in the sky gradually disappear, and the dazzling light rises again.

The person behind the desk sat motionless as if in a trance. I don't know if he got up early or just didn't sleep at all. There wasn't a single wrinkle on his clothes, but he was still wearing the same clothes he wore yesterday.

The light came straight in through the window. Xie Jin raised his head in the floating dim light, stood up, walked out of the room.

Halfway up the mountain in Shui Village, Xie Jin stood at the edge of the soil, looking at the empty pit.

The man guarding the pit was sweating all over and kneeling in fear.

Xie Jin said calmly: "Where's the body?"

The man was shaking like a sieve: "It was here just now, but I just undressed myself for a moment and the body was gone."

Xie Er glanced at his own son's face, then kicked the man on the ground on the shoulder: "Useless! You can't even do this!"

The man fell on his back, then climbed up with a pale face, his head pressed against the ground.

Xie Er asked again: "Where is the other person?"

"After I came back, it disappeared."

Xie Jin turned his gaze towards the earth pit, and Xie Er spoke uncertainly: "Prince, could it be that the missing person took the body away?"

Xie Jin stared at the pit, and after a while, he said, "No, the corpse ran out by itself."
