no soul

Wan Guchuan turned his head to look for Lin Hong, looked at him with his eyes, and then at Ning Xiuyun beside him.

"What are you talking about? Come in front of me." Wan Guchuan stretched out his hand to pull him.

Lin Hong avoided his hand, "It's okay, I'm right behind, I can't walk fast."

Wan Guchuan was silent for a moment, then slowed down and walked to his side, "That's at the back."

Seeing Wan Guchuan approaching, Ning Xiuyun felt a little embarrassed, so she hurried away and went to find Dai Qingqing.

As soon as it passed, the two girls began to discuss happily.

Lin Hong rubbed his nose sourly. He thought that only the sons and daughters of the Jianghu were informal, but he didn't expect such a Xiaojiabiyu to be so straightforward.

"What were you talking about just now?" Wan Guchuan asked.

Lin Hong looked at the road ahead, not at him, "It's nothing."

Wan Guchuan looked at him for a while, felt that something was wrong with him, and wanted to ask him, "You..."

"Look ahead!" Someone in the team suddenly shouted.

Everyone saw that there was a small group of earthen houses in front of them, and the smoke was billowing from the kitchen. They should be inhabited.

"Great, there is a place to stay!"

"I'm starving to death."

"I'm so hungry too..."

"What can I eat?"

"I'm so thirsty."

"Are they eating and drinking enough?"

"What? You don't want to live here, do you?"

"Don't dislike it, it's good to have a place to live."

"..."

There are dozens of mud houses, but only a couple live there.

The appearance of this couple does not look like those of the Tasu people. The hostess's appearance is not outstanding, with a square face and nose, eyebrows are somewhat heroic, but her figure looks well-proportioned and healthy.

The male host is tall and strong, with a beard.

They have lived here for many years, and they have to travel hundreds of miles to buy food and clothing from far away places.The conditions were very difficult, but they persisted.

When people asked why, they only said that they liked the desert scenery.

Driven by Baihuahuayinzi, the couple enthusiastically accepted the twenty people.

Wan Guchuan, Lin Hong, and Cheng Jinjiu were assigned to the same room again.

The three tidied up and walked out of the hut.

Yu Tian also happened to come out of another room.

"Yo, what a coincidence." Yu Tianyi's tone was dry and not so surprised.

Lin Hong smiled and said, "I said why didn't I see the evil doctor, it turned out that we came here first."

Yu Tian also shook the wine gourd, with a hint of sarcasm, "It's Pingdan today, seeing everyone sleeping soundly on the sand, I didn't dare to bother you, so I left first."

So the city of Kavantia disappeared in Pingdan. (Note 1)

"Who is this?" Cheng Jinjiu asked, looking at the girl with Liu Meifeng and phoenix eyes opposite her.

Lin Hong introduced, "'Evil doctor' Yu Tianyi."

"'Evil doctor'!" Cheng Jinjiu was a little surprised, "Next, Cheng Jinjiu has long admired the name of 'evil doctor'."

Yu Tian also glanced at him, "I don't care who you are."

Cheng Jinjiu: "..."

"Be polite, little girl. Be careful, I'll tell your father." Lin Hong frightened her, and even patted Cheng Jinjiu, "She has such a temper, Brother Cheng, don't take it to heart."

"It's nothing." Cheng Jinjiu really didn't take it to heart.

Yutian also rolled his eyes.

Lin Hong asked her, "Where did you go last night? Why didn't I see you at the inn?"

"Whoever wants to go with you, I'm naturally in another inn, good wine and good meat." Yu Tian also opened her flagon with a smile.

"Oh, that's right." Yu Tianyi took out something from his arms and threw it to Lin Hong.

Lin Hong took it over and saw that it was a waist card.

Wan Guchuan took a look, "Kirin Sect slain."

"After the prince regent committed treason and committed a crime, the Qilin Sect was investigated and dealt with as a party member of the prince regent." Wan Guchuan added.

Lin Hong was shocked, and looked at Yu Tianyi, "Did you kill those three people last night?"

Yu Tian was also taking a sip of wine, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, "Kill one."

Therefore, the three people who stole the diamonds last night were the dead soldiers of the Qilin Sect and the regent's men.

They guessed right.

"Did you find anything else?" Lin Hong asked Yu Tianyi.

"I also found out," Yu Tian also smiled wickedly, "the couple here are killers, and they came to this desert to avoid their enemies."

Lin Hong: "..."

Wan Guchuan frowned, "How can you see that?"

"Don't you think it's strange that this couple who neither run a restaurant nor an inn live in so many houses?" Yu Tian also spread her hands and covered her precious wine gourd.

Lin Hong just felt a little strange.

Yu Tian also continued, "I went to every house and looked at it. Although the furnishings, decorations, and supplies have all been moved, it is obviously not the same style, nor is it the habit of one or two people. It is likely that they lived there before. different people."

Yu Tian also yawned, "I guess, this couple is a killer, they killed everyone, and the doves occupy the magpie's nest."

Lin Hong felt that there was a possibility of what she said, but he still wanted to find a less scary explanation, "Maybe it's just their special hobby of decorating the house. After all, they said they lived here for a long time, so they have the time and energy to do it." Build and furnish."

Yu Tian also shrugged, "I don't have any direct evidence either, let's see. Just to remind you, don't be betrayed, and—"

Yu Tian also looked at Cheng Jinjiu and glared at him, "Can you stop staring at me? Is there a flower on my face?"

"Sorry..." Cheng Jinjiu looked away.

Everyone settled down and gathered in the big house for lunch.

A group of very different and unrelated people sat around a large round table.

Lunch is not rich, only porridge and naan bread, a few dishes of pickles.

Lin Hong was about to put the naan into his mouth when Wan Guchuan, who was sitting next to him, reached out and took the naan from his hand.

"Why?" Lin Hong was still holding the naan, looking at him inexplicably.

Wan Guchuan didn't answer him, but looked around at the naan, took a bite, and put it back in his hand.

Lin Hong:? ? ? ?

Lin Hong lost his voice as he watched the missing piece of naan in his hand.

Cheng Jinjiu took the naan to witness this scene, and seeing Wan Guchuan turned his head, as if he was about to look at him, he quickly took a bite himself.

Wan Guchuan: "..."

There was not much food, and the 21 people shared a little less food. Everyone just barely packed their stomachs. After eating, they went back to the house to rest and get ready for the night's adventure.

"Here's some water, let's distribute it to everyone in the house. I don't know how you want to divide it..." The hostess knew that Fang Louxi was in charge, so she handed him the kettle and some cups. You can save a little bit."

"Thank you two benevolent people." Fang Louxi took the things.

"Let me come." Wan Guchuan said.

Lin Hong looked at Wan Guchuan, not understanding what he meant.

Yu Tian also smiled evilly and walked away.

Fang Louxi rebuffed, "That's so embarrassing."

One of Wan Guchuan's knuckle-boned hands has already grasped the object in his hand, and the strength cannot be refused, "It doesn't matter."

Fang Louxi met his eyes, seemed to understand what he meant, let go of his hand, "Then I will trouble Wan Daxia."

The hostess glanced at him.

Lin Hong followed Wan Guchuan, not knowing what he was going to do.

"Go and see every house." Wan Guchuan observed the water in the pot.

See if it is true what Yu Tianyi said.

"Thank you." A peasant woman took the water from Wan Guchuan and passed it to the other two women in the room.

Wan Guchuan glanced at the room, "You're welcome."

After walking some distance, Wan Guchuan lowered his voice and said to Lin Hong, "There are blood spots on the wall beside the bed that are about to turn black."

"What?!" Lin Hong was a little startled.

"Thank you Wan Daxia." The scholar smiled very politely.

"Thank you." The old man in the house said.

"Thank you." A ranger nodded to them.

This time, Lin Hong carefully observed the room.

"I saw that the soil on the ground has scratch marks, and the edges are a bit black." Lin Hong said.

This is true.

Wan Guchuan patted his head with his empty hands.

"Are you teasing a dog?" Lin Hong patted his hand away.

"Thank you both." The lady smiled and looked at them twice.

……

"As Yutian also said." After visiting all the houses, Lin Hong concluded.

This couple is very problematic.

Lin Hong glanced back.

In the distance, the hostess was standing at the door watching them.

"She knows martial arts." Wan Guchuan said, "There are thick calluses on the tiger's mouth on both hands, and she is used to using two knives."

"What about her husband-in-law?" Lin Hong glanced at the burly man sitting in the distant room.

"I don't know." Wan Guchuan didn't look carefully.

Lin Hong panicked, "If they killed everyone here, where are the bodies?"

"It might be right under your feet."

Lin Hong: Fuck...

"It's too exciting... They didn't poison their food and drink, did they?" Lin Hong suddenly panicked.

"I've seen it, no." Wan Guchuan said.

"Just look at it?" Lin Hong was surprised.

Wan Guchuan replied, "I still need to smell it."

"You can tell if it's poisonous by looking and smelling it?" Lin Hong squinted at him.

Wan Guchuan didn't realize the danger yet, "Yes."

"Then what else do you want?" Lin Hong asked.

Wan Guchuan turned and left.

"I'll give you back a mouthful of naan."

"How do you pay it back?"

"..."

The two returned to their hut.

"How is it?" Cheng Jinjiu asked when he saw them coming back.

"Perhaps Yu Tianyi really hit the mark." Lin Hong found a place to sit down.

"Ah?" Cheng Jinjiu was shocked, "Then I can't sleep well."

Their earthen house is not too big, just a table, a pair of stools, a bed, two desks, and some bottles and cans.

"You guys sleep on the bed, I'll make the floor." Lin Hong said.

Wan Guchuan and Cheng Jinjiu looked at Lin Hong at the same time.

"How?" Lin Hong saw their surprise and pretended not to see it, "Agreed?"

Cheng Jinjiu: "I can..."

Wan Guchuan: "No."

Cheng Jinjiu: "..."

Wan Guchuan: "You sleep on the floor with me, and he sleeps on the bed."

Lin Hong: "You sleep on the bed with him, and I sleep on the floor."

Cheng Jinjiu: "..." I guess it means that they don't want to sleep with me...

Cheng Jinjiu began to lay the floor for himself silently amidst the flames of war.

In the end, Cheng Jinjiu slept on the bed alone, feeling very embarrassed.

Lin Hong lay with his back to Wan Guchuan, full of rage.

Wan Guchuan always felt that he wanted to avoid himself intentionally or unintentionally, "What's wrong with you today?"

"It's nothing. Go to sleep." Lin Hong was decisive.

Wan Guchuan was silent, looking at Lin Hong's back.

Lin Hong's long hair slid down and curled on the pillow, revealing half of his slender and fair neck.

Wan Guchuan couldn't help stretching out his hand, he raised his two fingers and was about to touch it, then withdrew his hand...
