Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

Soon they arrived at the house where the murder took place.

The three of them walked into the room and looked around, but found no signs of a fight.

Something sticky dripped onto the ground. Yinglei noticed it with his sharp ears. He walked over, picked up some with his fingers, and found that it was bright red blood that had not yet coagulated.

His face was solemn. He stopped Nanzhi from coming over and looked up.

Nanzhi and Baijiu also looked up.

The man, fixed to the roof by silk threads, had his eyes open and died in a horrible manner.

True fear is never about shouting, but about covering your mouth and not daring to make a sound.

Bai Jiu covered his mouth and thought, this kind of tragic death is much more terrifying than that of a big monster!

……

After some trouble, Yinglei put the body down, and Bai Jiu, suppressing his fear and nausea, went forward to perform an autopsy.

After coming to the conclusion, he vomited loudly while holding the wooden barrel, and told Nanzhi and Yinglei that the deceased's heart had been dug out alive.

Nanzhi suddenly remembered: "That's where the third case might have happened. Oh no! Sister Wen Xiao and Sister Pei are in danger!"

"The mountain and sea are so vast!" Bai Jiu carried his medicine box on his back and reminded Ying Lei.

"Oh! I haven't been to that place!" Ying Lei had already rushed out the door!

Nanzhi and Baijiu looked at each other and took the lead to catch up with Yinglei. Baijiu, who was not in good physical condition and was carrying a heavy load, sighed and followed painfully.

As soon as he ran to the destination house, he heard the sound of fighting coming from inside. Yinglei pulled out the kitchen knife from his waist, told Nanzhi Baijiu to protect himself, kicked open the door and rushed in.

"Ah!!! What are you doing?!"

"Who are you?! What are you doing barging into my house?!"

"No, no, no... misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I went to the wrong place..."

"It hurts so much... Help! Ruoniang, please save me! Stop that tigress in my family!"

"What a good thing! You're secretly meeting with the widow of the Ruo family behind my back! You deserve to be killed, and you dare to run away!"

"Give me your knife! I want to kill this couple!"

"Don't be impulsive! Auntie, calm down! I use this knife to slay demons and cook, but I won't kill anyone!"

"Snapped--"

"Who is Auntie! Are you blind?!"

There was a commotion inside the door. Just by listening to the noise without seeing the scene, one could tell what Ying Lei was going through at the moment.

Bai Jiu: "..."

Nanzhi: "..."

The two people looked at each other.

Bai Jiu pointed to the house next to him: "Sister Shen, it's here."

"Yeah." Nanzhi nodded, "Let's go in."

"Hey! Xiaojiu! Nanzhi! Wait for me!" Yinglei rushed out with a kitchen knife in his hand, messy hair and a slap mark on his face.

Just as the three were about to go in, a dark shadow suddenly jumped out from the wall!

A black cloak drew a cold arc in the air, and a young man wearing black clothes and a headband, with a handsome face and exotic beauty, landed on the ground, his dark eyes looking at the three people standing outside the door.

The incident happened suddenly. Yinglei was on guard with a knife, protecting Nanzhi and Baijiu behind him!

The young man's gaze fell on Nanzhi, as if he wanted to say something to her, but he was worried that the people in the yard would chase him out, so he could only use a fake trick to deceive Yinglei and disappeared in an instant.

"Aheng?" Nanzhi asked in confusion.

Yinglei looked at Nanzhi: "Do you know him?"

At the same time, Pei Sijing, who was closest to the gate, chased out and also heard Nanzhi's words.

She walked up to Nanzhi and asked in a somewhat unstable voice, "Do you know him?"

"I know her." Nanzhi looked at Pei Sijing, who was in a bad state. "Sister Pei, are you okay?"

"How did you know him?" Pei Sijing didn't care about anything else. She just wanted to know how Nanzhi knew her weak brother who drank more medicine than water and never left the house.

Seeing that Pei Sijing was not in a good state, Ying Lei, who had sheathed his sword, stretched out his hand to block Nanzhi: "Uh... Miss Pei, calm down."

After he finished speaking, a shadow emerged in his heart, and he always felt that he would be slapped again.

"It's a long story." Nanzhi also comforted Pei Sijing: "Sister Pei, let's go back to the Monster Hunting Bureau and I'll tell you everything in detail."

Zhu Yan walked to Nanzhi's side without saying anything.

Pei Sijing calmed down and wiped the tears from her eyes: "I'm sorry, I was too excited just now."

"There's nothing to apologize for." Nanzhi took Pei Sijing's tightly clenched fist, gently spread it open, and then clasped her hands together: "Sister Pei is fine, I know."

Wen Xiao also walked to the other side of Pei Sijing and took her hand: "Let's go back."

Three girls were walking in front.

Just as Zhuo Yichen was about to follow, he was stopped by Zhu Yan.

Facing Zhuo Yichen's questioning gaze, Zhu Yan reminded him: "Let me give you a reminder, don't eavesdrop on girls' private conversations, or you will be beaten."

"Who eavesdropped?" Zhuo Yichen said with disgust: "How can I protect them if I don't follow them?"

"Guarding from a distance is also a form of protection." Zhu Yan smiled at him politely: "For example, when I protect Master Xiao Zhuo, I always advance and retreat in moderation."

Zhuo Yichen: “…”

Thinking of how Zhao Yuanzhou had taken a blow from Li Lun in order to save him, he was unable to refute it for a moment.

Ying Lei smiled, full of energy: "Then we will follow from a distance!"

"I really envy the little mountain god. He can still be so energetic even with a slap mark on his face. Master Xiao Zhuo, you should thank me, otherwise you might end up like Yinglei." Zhu Yan also followed.

Bai Jiu comforted Zhuo Yichen: "Brother Zhuo, it's okay. Sister Shen will definitely not be willing to hit you."

Zhuo Yichen: “…”

When he was a child, he was really beaten by Nanzhi, and Nanzhi's beatings were very painful.

……

Demon Hunting Department.

After Ying Lei finished chanting the sutra for the deceased in front of the statue, he saw Nanzhi standing behind him.

"Nanzhi?" He ran to Nanzhi happily, looking forward to it. "Why did you come to see me?"

Nanzhi pointed at the slap mark on his face and said, "You haven't treated this yet. I brought some medicine to reduce the swelling."

"Hehe, thank you for your concern." Ying Lei felt a little embarrassed.

Yinglei sat on the steps. With the help of the candlelight, Nanzhi scooped some ointment with a medicated wooden stick and applied it to the redness and swelling on his face.

The ointment felt cold when it touched his face, and Yinglei shrank back uncomfortably.

"What's wrong?" Nanzhi asked.

"No, nothing..." Although the ointment was very cold, Ying Lei felt that his face was burning. "It's just the medicine, it's a little cold."

After saying that, he turned aside again and let Nanzhi apply the medicine.

Nanzhi was very careful when applying the medicine. There was a little distance between the two of them. Yinglei kept a strange posture with his face turned in front of her, without urging her. With his keen sense of smell, his nose was filled with the cool scent of the ointment, as well as the faint fragrance mixed in with the medicine.

Yinglei felt dizzy and burning with fever on his face, and he didn't even realize that he had finished applying the medicine.

It was only after Nanzhi's reminder that Yinglei came back to his senses and sat up straight.

He sat upright, feeling uncomfortable everywhere, but not wanting to leave.

"Thank you, Nanzhi. You are the first person who has been so kind to me. You are number one in my heart, along with my grandfather, the first god who has been so kind to me!"

"You're welcome." Nanzhi felt that he was too easily moved: "This on your face will be gone by tomorrow morning."

"Yeah." Nodding heavily, Yinglei lowered his head and handed Nanzhi something shyly: "Here, let you touch this."

Nanzhi looked at his hand and found that it was a black and yellow tail that had been hanging from his waist.
