The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple
Chapter 261: Jumu Village is Destroyed
Chu Yuanxi had just reunited with Chu Yunxi, and now they were separated again. He was really reluctant and worried, but transporting his father's body was also a big deal. Fortunately, Chu Yunxi still had Xiao Mubei on her side. He could only ask Xiao Mubei, "Your Highness, please take good care of my little sister. I'll be waiting for you in Beijing."
Xiao Mubei patted Chu Yuanxi on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, brother-in-law. I care about Yunxi more than you do."
Chu Yuanxi laughed, and then said to Chu Yunxi: "Take care of yourself."
Chu Yunxi nodded, and Chu Zhongxi said, "When you get to Jumu Village, say hello to Father Weng and Aunt Weng, as well as Mr. He for me. I won't go this time. I'll come to see them again after some time."
Chu Yunxi agreed and said goodbye to her two brothers reluctantly. After watching the convoy go away, she and Xiao Mubei and the others set off for Jumu Village.
Hongyu and Qingmei naturally followed to serve Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei. Qingmei's heart disease had improved a lot recently and she hadn't had an attack for such a long time. She had also been getting more and more used to her new identity. Everything in the capital seemed to be a thing of her previous life. Now her eyes and heart were full of how to serve Chu Yunxi.
Naturally, Chu Yunxi treated her like a real sister. Hongyu's nursing skills had made great progress under Chu Yunxi's teaching, and acupuncture and injection were no longer a problem. This time, Chu Yunxi planned to take Qingmei with her to learn witchcraft. She felt that everyone around her should have a skill, so that even if they left her in the future, they could be completely independent.
Qingmei was extremely happy when she heard that Chu Yunxi wanted to take her to learn witchcraft. Before, at the Sun family, she didn't know anything except studying. Her father and mother loved her too much and never let her do anything. These days, following Hongyu, she also learned a lot of common sense in life.
The last time Chu Yunxi was poisoned by a Gu, she was extremely worried and hated herself for not being able to share the princess' worries. Now that she can learn the art of Gu, the people around her will no longer be afraid of being ambushed.
The carriage traveled for a day and finally returned to Jumu Village at dusk.
Arriving directly at Father Weng's and Aunt Weng's house, Chu Yunxi shouted as soon as she got off the carriage: "Father Weng and Aunt Weng, we are back."
There was no movement in the house. Xiao Mubei also got off the carriage. As a martial artist, he quickly realized that something was wrong. He grabbed Chu Yunxi who was walking into the house and said, "Something is wrong."
Chu Yunxi also realized something was wrong at this time. The surroundings were too quiet, and at this time, it should be time for dinner, but there was no smoke rising from any household. She moved her nose and there seemed to be a faint smell of blood floating in the air.
Feeling uneasy, Xiao Mubei waved his hand, and Zi Han and the purple-clothed guards immediately went up to the rooftop to be on guard, with black wooden swords in hand, slowly approaching the door.
When he arrived at the door, Hei Mu listened for a while, but there was no movement. He made a gesture to Xiao Mubei to knock on the door. Xiao Mubei nodded. Hei Mu took a deep breath, kicked the door open suddenly, and drew his sword to point it inside.
But then he was stunned, turned around, and stepped aside with a look of reluctance.
So Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi saw what was happening inside the house.
I saw that the father and the aunt were both lying on the square table at the door, facing each other. There were two plates of food on the table and spilled porridge on the ground, with rice grains scattered all over the floor. The two of them were motionless and had no breath.
"Father and Auntie!" Chu Yunxi's tears fell all at once and she squatted on the ground and cried. Although she had only been with Father and Auntie for a few short days, these two elderly people truly treated her and Chu Zhongxi as their own children. They felt at home here and felt loved by their parents. In Chu Yunxi's mind, she really wanted to be filial to these two elderly people in the future.
I wonder how sad Chu Zhongxi would be if he knew about this.
Suddenly, Chu Yunxi remembered something, stood up abruptly, and ran to the west end of the village. Xiao Mubei called her, and seeing her running madly without looking back, he immediately understood what she was going to do, so he used his Qinggong to catch up with Chu Yunxi, put his arm around her waist, and flew to Mr. He's house.
Arriving at He Lao's house, Chu Yunxi immediately shouted, "Master!" as soon as she stepped on the ground
There was no sound in the room. Chu Yunxi's heart sank. She pushed the door open suddenly, prepared to see Old He's body, but she didn't expect the room to be empty. Where was the trace of Old He?
There were fewer poisonous insects in the room, especially the four poisonous kings, which had all disappeared. Chu Yunxi stepped into the room, checked it inside and out, and breathed a sigh of relief. "Master should have left on his own. There is no sign of invasion in this room."
At this moment, a voice came from outside the house, "Yunxi, is that you?"
"Master!" Chu Yunxi recognized it was Mr. He's voice and hurried out, with Xiao Mubei following behind her.
When they arrived at the courtyard, they saw Mr. He sticking his head out of the well and looking out vigilantly. When he saw Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei, his expression relaxed and he burst into tears, "I finally waited for you, but this old man..."
Chu Yunxi also shed tears. She and Xiao Mubei hurriedly helped Mr. He out. Xiao Mubei looked down and found that there were climbable handrails installed at the bottom of the well, which led directly to the bottom of the well.
Seeing Xiao Mubei looking at the bottom of the well, He Lao sighed, "Since I was captured by Nan Di once before, I built a ladder in this well and dug a passage underneath. There is space inside for people to live. I originally just wanted to take precautions, but I didn't expect that this time it really saved my life."
Chu Yunxi wiped away her tears and asked, "Master, what happened?"
Old He sighed and said, "Yesterday morning, I had just gotten up and came to this courtyard to stretch my legs and move around, when I heard cries and fighting coming from the village. Because my courtyard is far away from other houses in the village, I hid at the door and looked into the village, and saw a dozen masked men in black clothes with great martial arts skills. They killed anyone they saw and broke into every household to kill people. I originally wanted to use Gu to save them, but this group of people came from the east of the village. I'm afraid the old man and his wife have already been killed, and it's too late. I'm the last family, and I'm afraid that most of the people in the village have died, so I took my Gu and hid in the well. The group came to my courtyard, saw that there was no one at home, and thought it was an empty house, so they left. I was lucky enough to survive and wait for you to come back."
Chu Yunxi felt a little regretful about what happened yesterday morning. If she had returned home a day earlier, her father and aunt would not have died. But how could one know the things in this world in advance?
"Master, who are those people? Did you see them clearly? Or in other words, do they have any characteristics?"
