Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

Although the voice was a little hoarse, it was not difficult to hear the deep affection contained in it. However, after waiting for a while, there was no movement from the red coffin in front of him.

"Awan?" Dai Jia asked again hurriedly when he saw that the red coffin was motionless.

"I know you're angry that I couldn't protect you back then... but I've thought of a way to remedy the situation. As long as you can absorb the two souls in this room tonight, you'll be able to break free from the coffin and be reborn. Then I'll take you far away. We'll leave here and never come back."

It seemed that he was too excited. After saying this series of words, Dai Jia had to stop and hold the coffin to slow down his breathing.

"Please...take care of me, okay?"

Dai Jia was anxiously checking the red coffin, but he didn't notice that someone had stood behind him.

"You want the dead to speak, do you think you are the King of Hell?"

Dai Jia was startled. Shen Qiao saw him shudder all over and then turned around with a look of horror on his face, "You...you are that..."

"Remedy? Rebirth?" She approached step by step, the coldness in her eyes almost unconcealable.

"If you really feel you owe her something, why bother with all this trouble? I can send you to see her right now. You two can be a pair of desperate lovers underground, saving her the trouble of running back and forth between the underworld and the human world. How about that?"

Dai Jia was so frightened by Shen Qiao's murderous look that he was dumbfounded. How could he even think of saying anything in rebuttal? It was not until Shen Qiao pressed him against the coffin that he remembered to touch the dagger on his waist.

But just as his hand touched the handle of the dagger, he suddenly screamed "Ah" and his entire palm was pierced by a small stone.

"What a ridiculous and pathetic thing! What do you think of human life?"

Dai Jia held his bleeding right hand and looked at Shen Qiao tremblingly. For some reason, he suddenly became furious. "You know nothing! You don't even know how much I love her!"

"Okay." Shen Qiao smiled like a demon, "Then tell me how much you love her."

After he finished speaking, Dai Jia felt a gust of wind brushing past his face. Shen Qiao threw him back into the house and slammed the door shut.

After a while, Dai Jia's screams for mercy were heard from the room.

"Do we really not need to go and help? Senior Sister Shen is still young after all. Will she be unable to carry out such an interrogation?" Zhou Xian looked at the closed door and looked at the two people who were drinking tea calmly with some concern.

Mu Jiu: "This is the first time Junior Sister has taken on a mission, so it would be good for her to get some more practice."

Shang Mian also nodded, "I think so too."

The reply reached Wang Yan, who was pinching walnuts. He smiled sheepishly while picking up walnuts from the crumbs and eating them. "Me too."

Zhou Xian looked at him speechlessly.

That was in the evening, when Wang Yan, who had gone to inquire about the coffin shop, came back and said that recently only the Dai family in the neighboring village had ordered a coffin made of solid wood, and had specifically requested that it not be painted. The family did not say what they were doing, so the carpenter did not ask any more questions.

Anyway, he had to go and tell Dai Jia if something happened on the mountain, so Wang Yan took people to Dai's house again.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the news that Dai Jia had an accident on the mountain, the old man of the Dai family was so scared that his face turned pale and he kept muttering "sin, sin". Wang Yan felt something was wrong and found out about the scandal after asking.

It turned out that Mr. Dai had often felt unwell since the beginning of this year. Later, he found a charlatan from somewhere and said that the late Mrs. Dai was not living happily in the underworld and wanted to find Mr. Dai to accompany her.

The only way now is to find a suitable woman, take away her soul and spirit and send her to serve in the underworld, so that Mr. Dai can escape this disaster.

The old man surnamed Dai was almost scared to death by the words of a dead person wanting to be alive. He believed it without caring whether it was true or false. He immediately ordered people to find a suitable woman according to the date given by the sorcerer.

However, as luck would have it, while searching, he found Zhang Wan, who had just been engaged to Dai Jia.

The girl originally came from a well-off family, but unfortunately her family fell into poverty and her relatives dispersed, and now she is the only one left.

At first, when Grandpa Dai wanted to make a move on Zhang Wan, Dai Jia was absolutely against it. But after Grandpa Dai threatened to commit suicide and the sorcerer repeatedly assured him that as long as a person's soul and spirit were not fatal, Dai Jia gradually compromised.

But it all went wrong in the end.

On the wedding night, Zhang Wan woke up in the middle of the night because the sleeping drug Dai Jia had given her was not strong enough. The old man of the Dai family was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he decided to go all out and discussed with the sorcerer to take Zhang Wan's life. Afterwards, worried that her soul would be locked by an evil ghost, he followed the sorcerer's advice and poured chicken blood on the coffin and smashed iron nails.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, he asked servants to carry the body to Wanshou Mountain and bury it hastily.

As a result, Zhang Wan was killed by her fiancé's family.

Dai Jia, who had repeatedly given in, was persuaded by his father on the grounds of maintaining the family's reputation, and he just endured it and did not pursue the matter.

After Wang Yan brought the old man from the Dai family back, he found someone to examine him. It turned out that there was nothing wrong with the man's body. He just caught a cold due to his old age and the large temperature difference between seasons.

After finishing his recollection, Zhou Xian sighed and sat back in his seat. "I've ordered someone to draw a portrait of the sorcerer according to the description. If he dares to show up, he will be arrested immediately."

Shang Mian: "Don't worry, Master Zhou. Since we have accepted the mission, we will complete it to the end. We will also do our best to assist in finding the person."

Zhou Xian nodded, "That's even better."

The two chatted for a cup of tea. Zhou Xian was just considering whether to drink a cup of tea to refresh himself, but he saw that Shen Qiao had calmed down and returned.

"Dai Jia admitted that he planted silkworm seeds for Li You and a villager." After saying that, Shen Qiao placed a round glass jar on the table in the hall.

"This is the silkworm he raised. It has now split into two. One was planted on Li You, and the other was planted on the old man we met on the mountain."

"The reason for doing these things is very simple. It is to collect their souls and resurrect Zhang Wan."

Zhou Xian quickly stood up and looked inside the translucent glass jar, only to see a blood-red worm as thick as a thumb.

"Can he tell us where his silkworm seeds come from?" Mu Jiu, who had just returned from outside, asked.

"This is also not right." Shen Qiao drank a glass of water in a distracted manner.

"Dai Jia himself said that he got these silkworm seeds from the sorcerer, but when I asked him indirectly about some of the things to pay attention to when raising silkworm seeds, his answers were a mess."

"Therefore, I would like to trouble you, Junior Sister, for a favor."

Shang Mian and Shen Qiao looked at each other for a moment. "Do you suspect... that Dai Jia is being manipulated?"

Shen Qiao responded, drank the glass of water, and stood up again. "Master Zhou, can I go see Li You again?"

"Of course, after Senior Sister Shang helped him retrieve the silkworms, this man has regained his consciousness. He is still imprisoned. Junior Senior Sister can go and interrogate him at any time."
