Chapter 9
From Kongyin Temple to Lin's Mansion, it only takes Rong Ying a blink of an eye, so in order to avoid suspicion, she purposely wandered outside until the evening before returning home.When she returned to the Lin Mansion, Rong Ying saw Lin Changjing waiting at the door.

She was overjoyed and ran forward to ask, "Are you waiting for me?"

Lin Changjing said: "I thought you would be back around this time, so I came out to have a look. How is it? Have you seen your mother?"

Rong Ying said, "I saw it, but I didn't talk to her."

Seeing the disappointment in Lin Changjing's eyes, Rong Ying said again: "But... the old lady must have forgiven you, because I heard her tell her personal maid that she would give you the jacket she made for you. You bring it here."

Lin Changjing's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Really?"

Rong Ying laughed and said, "I heard it with my own ears, so it's not true? Maybe that sister is coming soon."

As soon as the words fell, a woman came towards Lin's mansion holding something in her hand. Lin Changjing recognized that it was her mother's maid, Qiao'er.

"Qiao'er has met the Major General." Qiao'er saluted Lin Changjing, and then handed over the clothes in her hand. "This is the coat Madam made for the Major General herself. The Madam said that the weather is cold these days, and I'm afraid the Major General will freeze."

"Is your mother okay?" Lin Changjing asked.

"Madam is very good. Qiao'er thought she didn't really blame the major general. She recited scriptures these days just to bless the major general."

Lin Changjing's heart was finally relieved, he smiled and said, "Thank you, go back and take good care of your mother."

"Yes, this servant will definitely do her best to take care of Madam."

Rong Ying took the clothes from Qiao'er and watched her leave.

"Your mother treats you so well." Rong Ying said enviously.

Lin Changjing laughed: "Mothers are the same all over the world. Doesn't your mother treat you badly?"

Rong Ying felt a little disappointed: "My mother treats me well, she also makes me new clothes, and brings me some good things, but... I've never seen her before..."

Lin Changjing was taken aback when he heard the words. He saw the disappointment in Rong Ying's eyes, but he didn't intend to ask her about her privacy.He looked at her tenderly and said, "She must love you." He took the clothes from her hands with one hand, and took her hand with the other, "It's too cold outside, let's go in."

"Rongying?" Ye Chunhua couldn't remember whether she had ever seen the fire-burning girl that Ping'er mentioned, and she said disapprovingly: "It's just a servant, even if I met, I can't remember it. Why do you mention her?"

"Princess, this servant just saw... the general's hand... holding Rongying's hand!"

"What did you say?!" Ye Chunhua stood up all of a sudden, but she quickly laughed again: "What nonsense? How could the general hold the hand of a maid? You must be dazzled."

Ping'er was anxious: "No princess, this servant really saw the general holding Rong Ying's hand with my own eyes! The princess didn't know, but Rong Ying had a charming face, and she was the one who seduced the general. Although the princess is the general's Zheng wife, but there will inevitably be some flowers and plants outside the house, so we have to guard against it."

Ye Chunhua lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said: "Okay, this princess has her own discretion, you can go down."

Rong Ying walked into the kitchen humming a little tune, and Tong Bo looked at her strangely: "What makes you so happy?"

"I won't tell you!" Rong Ying continued humming her little song after finishing speaking.

"Ghost girl!" Tong Bo squinted at her, then lowered his head and continued to sharpen his knife.While sharpening the knife, he murmured to himself: "It's strange, why isn't Awang here today?"

Hearing what he said, Rong Ying also realized that today's firewood hadn't been delivered yet. The firewood for Lin's residence was brought by Awang every day. He was always on time, so why didn't he come today?
"It's not good, it's not good!"

A young man hurried over. Seeing his reckless appearance, Tong Bo couldn't help frowning, and said, "What are you making such a fuss about? You look like a reckless ghost."

The boy looked terrified: "It's not good! Something happened to Awang!"

Both Tong Bo and Rong Ying were shocked.

"What happened to Awang? What happened?" Rong Ying asked.

"A horrible mummy appeared by the pond near Awang's house. That mummy...that mummy was wearing clothes that seemed to be Awang's! Go and have a look!"

Tong Bo was startled, he and Rong Ying looked at each other, put down the knife in his hand and ran out.Rong Ying followed closely behind.

When Rong Ying followed Tong Bo all the way to the pond, the place was already surrounded by officers and soldiers, and the surrounding people were talking about it.Tong Bo stepped forward and said to an officer: "This officer, I am the cook of General Lin's mansion. This person seems to be Awang who brought us firewood."

The official said: "Go in and have a look, is it Awang?"

"Yes, sir."

The officers and soldiers made way for Tong Bo, and Rong Ying followed suit, but was stopped by the officer: "Who are you, why are you crowded?"

"I'm also from the General's Mansion!" Rong Ying said.

Only then did Tong Bo realize that Rong Ying had also followed, and he said to her, "What are you doing here? It's scary."

Rong Ying said: "No matter how scary it is, isn't it still Awang? Awang is a good person, even if he dies, he won't harm me."

Tong Bo thought for a while and said, "Okay, if you're really not afraid, come here together." After finishing speaking, he said to the officer again: "Master, she also recognizes Awang, let her go in to identify him too. Shall we take a moment?"

The officer glanced at Rongying, nodded after thinking about it, and let the two of them in.

I saw a horrible mummy lying by the pond, its lower body was naked, and its upper body was covered with a piece of clothes messily.Even an old man like Tong Bo, who has seen the world, couldn't help feeling apprehensive and twitching in his stomach. When he remembered that this dry bone was the living Awang, he felt sad again.

"My lord, it's true that this dress belongs to Awang, and his left foot is missing a toe." Tong Bo said sadly.

The officer lowered his head and saw that the corpse's left foot was indeed missing a toe.He said: "Since he is someone you know, do you know any other relatives in his family?"

Tong Bo said: "Awang's parents have been dead for a long time, he has been living alone, only one aunt lives in another village, far away from here."

"Since this is the case, then you can help him clean up the bones. At least he knows someone."

Tong Bo said with tears in his eyes: "Awang treated me like a grandfather when he was alive, and his funeral was naturally left to me. It's just that the old man doesn't know one thing. How did this Awang become like this so well? "

"Is there any need to ask? Of course it was done by monsters."

A sweet female voice suddenly sounded, and a girl in red came out from the crowd.The girl was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but when she came to see the mummy on the ground, she didn't show any fear, instead she knelt down to examine it carefully.

"Hmph, as expected, it's exactly the same!"

"Who are you? What is exactly the same?" the official asked.

The girl stood up and said, "Who am I? Have you heard of Shenmu Valley?"

"Shenmu Valley?" The officials looked at each other, and Tong Bo also looked puzzled.

"I've heard of it." Rong Ying stood up and said with a smile, "Everyone in the Shenmugu faction is good at catching monsters. Just the word 'Shenmu Valley' is enough to make the demons turn pale."

The girl praised: "Unexpectedly, you, a little girl, know a lot, unlike them, who are ignorant and ignorant!"

Rong Ying laughed: "I heard that there are not many female disciples in Shenmu Valley. The girl must be the famous descendant of Shenmu Valley—Shui Jingshen, Miss Shui?"

"That's my senior sister, I'm another famous female disciple of Shenmu Valley——Song Chuchu!"

Rong Ying burst out laughing, such a famous female disciple, she didn't even recognize a demon standing in front of her.

Song Chuchu was dissatisfied: "Why are you laughing? You don't believe it?"

"I believe it, I believe it." Rong Ying laughed, "Miss Song, I wonder what monster killed this Awang?"

Tong Bo also said: "Yes, this girl, what kind of monster did Awang get into this way?"

Song Chuchu said: "Well, I don't know yet. But don't worry, this girl is here to take down that evil monster."

"Hmph, it's up to you?" The officer looked at her with disdain.

Song Chuchu's eyes widened and said: "It's not up to me, do you rely on you officials who don't do anything? Two days ago, a mummy exactly like this corpse appeared in the forest in the west of the city. Instead of investigating, you deliberately blocked it." News, what is the result? Now there is a second body! Could it be that you want to wait until the third and fourth homicide cases appear, and you can't hide them before solving the case?"

After Song Chuchu said this, the scene immediately boiled over. Everyone just found out that someone was killed in the forest in the west of the city, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

The officer couldn't hold back anymore, and he cursed at Song Chuchu: "It's an order from the superior to block the news, so as not to panic the people in the city, but you are good, you will cause a mess when you come! I think you are deliberately causing trouble , Come on, grab her for me!"

The officers and soldiers immediately surrounded Song Chuchu, and Song Chuchu exclaimed, "What are you doing? Don't touch me!"

"General Lin is here!"

In the confusion, Rong Ying caught sight of Lin Changjing's figure and hurriedly yelled out.When the officers and soldiers heard this, they stopped immediately and stepped aside to wait for Lin Changjing's arrival.

"See General Lin!"

The officers, soldiers and common people saluted one after another.

"Folks don't need to be too polite." Lin Changjing saw Rongying and walked towards her, and asked, "Why are you here too? I heard that Awang, who delivered the firewood, had an accident, aren't you afraid?"

Rong Ying pointed at Song Chuchu with a smile and said, "This girl is not afraid, why should I be afraid?"

Lin Changjing looked at Song Chuchu, and said, "Looking at this girl's attire, she must be a demon descendant, right?"

Song Chuchu said: "Seeing that you are also a discerning person, how did you teach your subordinates to be so rude?"

Rong Ying laughed again: "They were not taught by my general."

Lin Changjing asked, "What's going on here?"

Rong Ying leaned into Lin Changjing's ear and said something, Lin Changjing nodded, and said, "So it's Miss Song from Shenmu Valley, I'm rude. These brothers are also for the stability of the city. Strange."

"Seeing that you are a reasonable person, I have a lot of adults, so I don't care about you. Since you have nothing to do, then don't hinder this girl from tracking down the murderer!" Song Chuchu looked at the sky and said: "The sky It's getting late, and I have to hurry to find a place to sharpen."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out, and the bell hanging around her waist rang with the swing of her body.Lin Changjing's eyes fell on the bell beside Song Chuchu's waist, and he frowned unconsciously.When Song Chuchu was about to leave, Lin Changjing suddenly called out to her: "Miss Song, please wait!"
