Chapter 4 The Crane Clothes

Through his inner wavering, "Even if I'm not such a pedantic person, it's hard to accept it immediately. But don't worry, I won't stop your communication. I just want to tell you that you need to be cautious in everything. Once you start, you can’t go back.”

"I..." He couldn't believe that Mu Yixuan didn't scold him severely.

"You can go back."

The words liberated him.He walked quickly to the door, and suddenly heard the other party calling his name.

"Xue Zhi."

He stopped, turned his head, and looked at Mu Yixuan who was still sitting there, "Do you have anything else to do?"

"If one day you find that many things are not what I told you, will you resent me?"

He is just not very sensitive to other emotions such as joy and anger, but he is by no means stupid, and he immediately understood what Mu Yixuan meant.

But what can this person hide from himself?As for resentment?He never thought that this word could be associated with someone like Mu Yixuan.

Regarding what kind of person Mu Yixuan is, many people have their conclusions. Xue Zhi himself didn't have much contact with him, but no matter what, he never thought that he would hate him.After all, many times even blood relatives are unable to adopt a lonely and helpless boy. For more than ten years, he treats him like his own son and treats him the same as his own son. Mu Yixuan not only did it, but he didn't even complain.

"What do you mean?"

Maybe it was because he looked at Mu Yixuan with too much surprise, Mu Yixuan actually turned his eyes away, "Don't rush to answer."

The red leaves outside the courtyard reveal the bleakness of autumn, just as he feels at this moment, "One day you will know the answer."

……

When Xue Zhi woke up, the sky outside was gray.Compared with him who had been dreaming all night, Mu Liya next to him was in a deep sleep. If it wasn't for the soft breath blowing on his shoulder, Xue Zhi would have worried about whether there was something wrong with him.

For Mu Liya, who was usually woken up by the slightest noise, and then couldn't fall back asleep with his eyes open, this kind of sleep was extremely rare.

Xue Zhi stretched out his hand to touch the black eyes under his eyes, but finally withdrew his hand, not daring to disturb him.

"Let's forget it." He covered his face and let out a breath of stale air.

After getting up, he touched the white porcelain bottle, poured out the bloody pill and swallowed it whole.

Originally, this medicine was to be used together with Yaoyin, but it doesn't matter if there is no Yaoyin once or twice.In contrast, he was even more reluctant to wake up the person who finally had a good night's sleep.

As soon as he went out, he bumped into Mao Mason who came out of the room. Seeing him, Mao Mason smiled guiltyly, "I am born to work hard, and I can't sleep when the rooster crows outside. It's okay to sit in the room." Easy to do, get up and see if there is anything to eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mason Mao's stomach growled twice in response to the occasion, as if he wasn't the one who ate hazel last night, a meal that could match the appetite of three middle-aged men.

"Ah."

Xue Zhi and him went downstairs. The breakfast provided in the inn was clear porridge and pickles. Mason Mao took a look at his face and pulled it down, muttering in his mouth that he didn't know what he was talking about.

The shop waiter was still talking sarcasticly, "Old man, it's not bad to have something to eat."

"Not a bad fart! Do you have the strength to work after eating this?"

Co-authored In the eyes of a craftsman like Mason Mao who has worked hard all his life, he should eat hard vegetables such as braised pork and rice with rice in the morning, otherwise he would be so hungry that his chest would stick to his back .

Mason Mao had lost his temper enough, so he turned his head and yelled at Xue Zhi, relying on his status as a lifesaver, "How can this be done? Young boy, I saw it last night. There is a steamed stuffed bun shop across the street, go buy it for me." Come back with some meat buns." At the end, he scrambled and added, "Ten starts! Don't come back if you buy less!"

Xue Zhi glanced at him, then turned around and went to the bun shop on the corner to buy him ten big meat buns.

Mason Mao saw Baozi's face turned pale, so Baozi only pickled vegetables, drank the gruel to the brim, and the waiter in the shop was amazed.

"Old man, don't you think you've become a fool out of nothing?"

"Don't speak if you can't speak."

Mason Mao was almost full, so he wiped his mouth and started talking to Xue Zhi again, "How was your night last night?"

Xue Zhiji was hanging on Mu Liya who was asleep above him, listening very absent-mindedly.

"he……"

"It's hard, isn't it? Your friend's state is really wrong. It's as if a ghost has possessed him. Someone needs to lead him to the right path."

This hard work is not the same hard work. Mao Mason, who didn't know what happened last night, continued to brag about how sharp his eyes are, "Your friend, I can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person. Let me guess, his ancestor and the monster passed through marriage, right?"

"Ah."

Now that Mason Mao had seen it, Xue Zhi nodded in admission.He only admitted this, and more things, such as the real body of the old lady of the Mu family.

Some things, the more secretive they are, the better for them.

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Mason Mao shook his head, "You just think that I was bitten by a snake yesterday and afraid of well ropes for ten years. I was killed when I was young, and I am still a little afraid of monsters. Even if he Not a complete monster, and I can hardly trust him. In contrast, I trust you more."

"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I'm really scared. After I saved you, I noticed that you smell like a monster, so I insisted on seeing your companion."

Mao Shijiang rarely showed the vicissitudes of his age, "Now that I have seen it, I should tell you everything I know."

"Wang Yong?" Xue Zhi uttered the name again, and saw Mason Mao flinch obviously.

"Let's put it this way, if you want to know Wang Yong, you can find me. He and I are brothers. I have been learning stone carving skills from a master since I wore crotch pants. To be honest, he is here. He is much more talented than me in one line... He is the most suitable person I have ever met. You have seen me at what level, Wang Yong, that is, I am a senior brother, and he is even better than me , It’s like I can’t catch up with a horse in my life.”

Xue Zhi had already seen how powerful Mason Mao was in the ghostly rain yesterday, but when he thought of the densely packed stone carvings under the water and the creepy gaze, he could understand him a little bit.

"I know."

Mason Mao's mouth widened and then closed abruptly, "You know? That's right, you all found him, how could you not know."

He beckoned to Xue Zhi mysteriously, "Come here, I'll only tell you one person, be careful that walls have ears."

Xue Zhi leaned over, and Mason Mao quickly glanced left and right, and after making sure that no one was overhearing, he said quickly, "My brother has been very evil since he was a child..."

After he finished speaking, Mason Mao sat back on his seat, and resumed his grandpa style again, "Are you going to Jiang's clothing store?"

"Yes."

Mao Shijiang's expression was very indescribable, "I don't know anything else about this Jiang family. I only know one thing, that is, their family members have a demonic aura about them. I took a closer look and found that the evil aura came from them. from his clothes. Well, that's all I know."

Mu Liya couldn't even remember how long he hadn't slept so deeply.Probably since the death of his father and Ah Xiang and the others.He always has a lot of things to think about, and he often wakes up from his sleep in the middle of the night because of shapeless panic.

He couldn't tell what he was afraid of, was it the cruel way of heaven, the secret truth, or those things that were staring at them?He only knew that he had to follow the dragon's veins to complete this trip, and perhaps the answer to everything lay in the distant Tianjing.

It's like being in a coma, completely losing the ability to perceive the outside world, and also closing all his senses.He always felt like he was missing something important, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember it.

Until a certain moment, he seemed to hear someone sighing softly in his ear.What's so sad about it?He belatedly thought, can even being sad change the outcome of some things?

When he opened his eyes and saw Xue Zhi sitting in front of his bed, when the sun outside was about to set, his profile was illuminated by the afterglow, and his handsome features were a little warmer than usual.

"You're awake." Xue Zhi noticed the movement here immediately.

"Is there any water?" His throat was so thirsty that it seemed to be on fire.

Xue Zhi handed him some tea, and he sat up with his forehead pressed. He didn't care if the sheets slipped off his body, and took a few sips to feel better.

"What time is it now?"

"It's almost two quarters."

"It's so late." He frowned in frustration.

I didn't feel it when I fell asleep last night, but now I wake up and feel a lot of pain when I move a little.

He always felt that he had missed something very important, until he saw the small white porcelain bottle standing on the table.

"Your medicine..." The most important part of the medicine is the medicine. If there is no medicine, the effect will be light in half. Over the years, first his father and grandmother, and then himself, except for Xue During the time when Zhi went out to learn swords, there was rarely a break.

But Xue Zhi blocked his question, "It's okay once or twice."

His attitude was extremely resolute, and it didn't look like something was wrong, so Mu Liya gave up the idea of ​​continuing.

"Don't do that again."

He sat on the bed and waited for the headache to subside, then looked at Xue Zhi's attire, and noticed that the corners of his clothes were stained with dust, and there was yellow mud on the edges of his boots, his whole body was a bit dusty.

"Have you been out?" Although it was a question, his attitude was quite determined.

"Yes." Xue Zhi didn't need to hide it from him, and told the truth about his morning itinerary, "I went to Songzipo, and stopped by Jiang's clothes shop."

These were the things they were going to do today, but it was done by Xue Zhi alone without him.

Mu Liya asked him in a low voice, "Why didn't you call me?"

"It's not necessary."

Mass burial mounds like Songzipo where the dead are piled up are the easiest to gather dirty things. Generally, you go there when the sun is high in the daytime. If you go at night, there may be something wrong.

No matter how much you care about the past, nothing can be changed. Mu Liya thought for a while, and then asked him the result of this trip, "What did you find?"

Xue Zhi said that he looked for the innkeeper again before he went, and asked him where he picked up the umbrella from Songzipo, and why he appeared there.

The shopkeeper, Yue Mo, was very frightened by Mu Liya the day before, and today he was greeted like this by Xue Zhi, and he said everything before he really forced a confession.

"That day was my old lady's memorial day, and I went to the mass grave to burn paper for her old man... You don't know, my son, my little one used to be too poor to open the pot, and my old lady died of illness and had no money to buy a coffin, so I had to roll a straw mat to the mass grave Lost, later I got rich and wanted to dig a grave for my old lady, but I couldn’t find the bones, so I could only burn the paper on time every year. I hope my miserable old lady will live better underground. I really just wanted to burn a piece of paper for my old lady that day. I just came back, but unexpectedly I ran into a group of people. After I recognized the boss of the Jiang family, I was so scared that I quickly found a place to hide, not daring to let them see me. Finally, after they left , I was also blinded by lard, so I went over and looked boldly, and then I saw this umbrella lying on the mound of dirt. If I had a chance, I would never be cheap again, but at that time I It’s like being possessed by a ghost, just pick up the umbrella and leave.” After the shopkeeper finished crying, he swore to the sky that he didn’t intend to harm them.

"You are indeed possessed by a ghost." You were still possessed by the ghost of the umbrella man.After Xue Zhi said this, the shopkeeper cried like a butcher, "Give me the exact location."

The shopkeeper hurriedly told Xue Zhi the exact location of the umbrella he had picked up. Xue Zhi didn't bother him and went straight to Songzipo, leaving him alone.

Mu Liya also became interested in Xue Zhi's later discovery, "Who was buried there?"

"No one."

Even though he thought of ten thousand answers in his mind, Xue Zhi's answer still surprised him, "No one?"

No matter who is buried here, they should be able to deduce the relationship between this person and the boss of the Jiang family, and find out the crux of the problem, but if there is no one...

Xue Zhi nodded, and continued, "They are all women's utensils."

Except for the umbrella, the rest were some rouge, gouache and clothes, which looked huge in a sack. No wonder the innkeeper at the time thought that the group of people came to throw the corpse.

"Is there a name on it?"

Xue Zhi said that he searched all over but couldn't find the woman's name on it, "I found...these are the things of the woman in white I saw at that time."

While searching for his identity information, he noticed a snow-white dress that looked more and more familiar, and when he looked carefully, he found that it was actually worn by the woman who was melted into blood in the illusion.

Mu Liya didn't show any surprise, "It's about the same as I thought, that woman is from the Jiang family. The Jiang family's clothing shop is still closed?"

"It's still closed. I'll go to the place where Jiang's family lives later to have a look."

Xue Zhi also said that the Jiang's clothing store in the illusion should be the mansion where the Jiang family lived, not the shop he saw in the daytime.

"I'll go with you this time."

After talking about going out, Mu Liya rested for a while and took medicine by the way.He knew that the effect of the medicine was better than nothing, but in order to reassure Xue Zhi, he took it twice a day on time.

"Where is Mason Mao?" The medicine has no other use, it only tastes sour and bitter. He didn't like to take medicine since he was a child, and he felt a little uncomfortable at the moment, so he didn't want Xue Zhi to see it, so he brought up the topic again.

"He's gone back." What Xue Zhi didn't say was that before the mason left, he ordered two catties of pork belly as a reward for going out.

The waiter in the shop was a little shocked at first, but gradually he became numb to the old man's appetite, and gave him whatever he wanted, and then charged Xue Zhi with the account.

Mu Liya didn't care much about these trivial matters, "What did you say to that old man? Did it have something to do with Wang Yong?"

After finishing speaking, Xue Zhi looked at him, and he rarely turned his eyes away in embarrassment, "He is guarding against me, I can see that he doesn't trust people like me, so as long as I'm there he will. Now that he's gone, then He should have told you what he knew before he left."

Sure enough, he couldn't hide anything from him, Xue Zhi couldn't tell what it was like.

His identity is probably a stone that has been hanging in his heart, and it has not fallen for a long time.

"He told me that Wang Yong is his senior brother..."

Earlier, Mason Mao had spoken to him.

He could understand every sentence, but just because he could understand, even a dull person like him felt the thrilling terror and fear.

Afterwards, he felt a little lucky, fortunately, Mason Mao was still alive and could tell them about these things, otherwise they would just continue to pursue them like headless chickens.

"My senior brother has been very evil since he was a child. When the master was alive, there were still people who could control him and not let him go astray. I can see that he is actually very disobedient. Sometimes I think , he may hate Master and me very much, because we stopped him. After Master went... because no one can control him, and we are really not on the same road, and he has less contact with me. I heard that he seems to go to the South I stayed there for a while, and I don’t know where to go to learn some sorcery. In short, they are some bad things, but because of his good craftsmanship, his reputation is getting bigger and bigger. The last time I saw him was fifteen or sixteen years ago. The winter before... It was like this. I am too old to remember. He took the initiative to come to me, saying that he wanted to offer incense to the master and fulfill the filial piety of a disciple. He kept covering his hands during the whole process. I thought he I accidentally hurt my hand while working, so I wanted to show him. I lifted his sleeve,...it was a lotus flower brand, it should not have been long since it was branded on, and the new flesh growing next to it was still a little red. He His complexion changed on the spot, and he quickly pulled down his sleeves, scolding me for being incompetent. "This is what people like you can see." That's what he said. Said that I was hopeless, said that I wanted to follow the big man to do big things, from now on we will go back to the road, and then rushed out. My temper comes and goes quickly. After sitting and thinking about it for a while, I feel that his There was something wrong with his appearance, and he saw that his hat was still on the stool, it was so cold outside. I was afraid that his ears would freeze, so I followed him out."

In the ten years that followed, he couldn't say whether he regretted chasing him out.

"I remember very clearly that the chariot waiting for him outside was very luxurious, and even if the servants beside him deliberately disguised their identities, they could still be seen as people from the palace. How did you tell? Will there be eunuchs serving the chariot in ordinary families? It should be a woman in it. She stretched out a hand towards my senior brother. She has long red nails and scarlet sleeves. It would be nice if there were only these, but I was stuck in place by that terrible breath. No. I found out that she was a monster... a very scary big monster. She must have found out that I was peeping, otherwise I wouldn't have been forced to change a dozen places in a row. By the way, I don't know if it's appropriate to say that , but the feeling she gives me is somewhat similar to that friend of yours."

"There should be some kind of connection between them." Mason Mason's breath was wet and cold, "Take it as the little old man provoking, you'd better be careful."

After the curfew time, there was no trace of pedestrians on the street, only watchmen carrying lanterns and patrolling officers and soldiers. When they passed by, they could occasionally hear a few rapid barking dogs.

The busiest street in Suizhou is no exception. The rouge shops, teahouses and wine shops are all closed, except for the lights of the counting room behind a few windows, everything that can be seen is silent.In the deepest shadow of the night, two figures quietly floated past, and on the other side, the patrolling officers and soldiers turned their heads knowingly, but only saw an empty alley.

"It's coming soon."

Xue Zhi originally wanted to go to Jiang's house in the southwest by himself, but he couldn't resist another person's insistence, so he had to take him with him.

"you……"

"I'm fine." Mu Liya covered his mouth and coughed. Fortunately, there was no black bruise on his palm this time. "I'm fine. The wind is a bit strong. I'm cold. I'll be fine in a while."

On weekdays, the journey took less than a quarter of an hour and they had to walk for almost half an hour. Several times they were almost found by the officers and soldiers. Mu Liya had to use blindfolds and other ecstasy techniques to get away with it.

Xue Zhi knew that he couldn't hold him back, "Then remember to take the medicine when you go back."

Before Jiang made his fortune, he lived in a dark alley in the suburbs, eating and living with poor villagers. Later, his business gradually expanded, and he accumulated some wealth and moved to a big house in Nancheng District.

In the cold gray winter night, tiny frost falls, and the Jiang's mansion in the night does not see the beauty of the spring in the illusion, but it looks colder and more terrifying, like a giant beast dormant in the night, It may open its mouth to swallow all intruders at any time.

Mu Liya looked up at the heavy ebony plaque, on which was written "Shoutian Zhihu" instead of "Jiang's Clothes Shop".

"Are you sure it's here?" He turned to Xue Zhi to confirm.

Seeing the difference between the two plaques, Xue Zhi couldn't help feeling somewhat puzzled.

Looking at the scenery on both sides, although the rows of blood-colored lanterns are missing, there is no doubt that it looks like he has seen in the illusion.Thinking of this, he felt very sure again, "I'm sure."

Mu Liya got his answer and nodded, "I guess I know the reason, please look carefully at this plaque."

Xue Zhi looked at the plaque carefully following his words, and after a while he understood what he meant, "New."

Generally, the plaques at the front gates of people are replaced with the move-in. The Jiang family has lived here for more than ten years. Normally, even if someone cleans it every year before the new year, there should be traces of time on the plaques, but this ebony plaque and Compared with the surrounding door lintels, it looks brand new, and it seems that it has just been replaced not long ago.

"What you see should be what it used to be like here."

As for why the plaque was deliberately replaced, it may have something to do with what happened to the Jiang family.

Mu Liya withdrew his gaze and was facing the closed main entrance of the mansion.He didn't move the copper ring carved in the shape of a beast's head, but put his hand on the cold wooden door, as if he was sensing the movement on the other side.

Because of his blood, he has been able to perceive evil and yin energy since he was a child, but now his mortal half is infinitely weak, and the blood of monsters has the upper hand, making him even more sensitive.As soon as he put his hand on it, something on the other side of the main door actively moved forward.

"It seems to be too late." He lowered his eyes coldly, and there was not much regret and regret in his words, "It's too late."

"The smell of the dead." Xue Zhi added for him.

Although he was just an ordinary mortal, affected by the ghost's soul, he was still sensitive to the breath of death, "At least five people died."

The cold, rancid smell lingered in his breath, Mu Liya looked at him indifferently, "Go in and have a look."

"How do I get in?"

The door was closed tightly, Xue Zhi meant that he could break the latch with a single sword, but Mu Liya denied his proposal.

"Just go in through the front door."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bearings that lacked lubrication creaked and rubbed, and the closed door of the house opened little by little.

Xue Zhi glanced inside, and with just one glance, he could recognize that the scenery in the courtyard was exactly the same as what he had seen in the ghost rain illusion.

"Let's go."

……

The courtyard is deep, and everything you see is luxurious.

The Yong Dynasty prospered with a clean and honest government, and the salaries of officials were extremely poor compared with those of the previous dynasty. The difference was as much as three or four times. Many lower-level officials barely lived with their salaries.

"Do you find it strange?"

Mu Liya asked knowingly, and Xue Zhi naturally understood what he meant, "It's too quiet."

Ordinary large households have guard maids, even a place like the Mu family where the maids are full of monsters and ghosts will not be so quiet at night, but this Jiang's mansion not only cannot hear the servants' whispers, nor can they see a single scene. The lit lamps, and even the chirping of insects among the flowers and trees were all suppressed, so quiet that one could feel hairy, which obviously had a problem.

"Yeah, it's too quiet." Mu Liya pointed to the empty gazebo in the yard. Behind the gazebo was a two-story wooden attic. The windows were open, and it was so dark that nothing could be seen. Yes, the Jiang family claims to be sick and see no customers, even the shops outside are closed, and there is no sound at home, where do you think they all went? Could it be that they are all dead?"

When they were outside the door before, they had come to the conclusion that someone had died in the house, and now that they have walked for so long without seeing any trace of anyone, it is not so strange to think so.

Xue Zhi didn't express any opinion on this, "You still have that umbrella with you."

"I forgot, there is someone ready to ask." Mu Liya said oh, and he didn't seem to have forgotten at all, "San Lang, come out, I have something to ask you."

He opened the umbrella in his hand, and turned half a circle towards the dim crescent moon above his head.

The silhouette of the umbrella man floated in mid-air, vaguely as if covered by a layer of paper, but it was clearer than before in the inn.

He looked to be in his twenties, and his clothes seemed to have been brought from the coast, especially the way he tied his hair. Compared with the Yong Dynasty, it was more like the style popular among men in the previous Dynasty.

"May I ask what you want from me?" He stretched out his tone lazily, his eyes rolled slyly, "But I'm not sure I know..."

Mu Liya didn't have time to be polite to him, so he went straight to the point, "What did you do to the Jiang family?"

"What did I do to them?" Shan Lang asked back very uncooperatively, "What does the Jiang family have to do with me? What can a little monster like me do to them?"

"You know what happened to them?"

"Do I know? I've been under the umbrella all year round, how could I know."

This umbrella man is obviously a person who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time. His speech and behavior are as slippery as a loach. There is no useful information.

"Forget it." Just as the umbrella man was talking, Mu Liya interrupted him coldly, "You don't have to say it now."

Shan Lang glared at him, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, "I just said I don't know..."

Xue Zhi glanced at Mu Liya.Based on his understanding of him, he is not such a person who gives up easily, let alone being used by others.

Sure enough, the umbrella man hadn't recovered for a while, when he saw a green flame ignited in Mu Liya's hand.

"You don't need to say it if you don't want to." His voice was not loud, but his sternness made the eccentric umbrella dare not disobey him, "I don't want to hear it anyway."

Shanlang didn't expect such a consequence, he looked at him in astonishment, "You..."

Since he has been walking in the market for many years, he naturally has his own way of seeing people. He can tell that this person is not lying.

If he dared to be perfunctory like this again, he would really dare to burn the umbrella he was living in and let his soul fly away.

"You don't burn the umbrella."

When Shan Lang spoke again, it was not the same oily tone as before, "Only this one please don't."

Mu Liya didn't speak, and stood there indifferently, as if to depend on his next move.

"I never lied to you about one thing. I really didn't do anything to the Jiang family."

This Shanlang has ordinary facial features, and he must not have been an impressive person in his lifetime. He just stood there under the thin moonlight, as if he would disappear when the wind blows.

"It's their own fault." He showed a slightly distorted smile. There was no happiness in the smile, only endless pain, "I didn't do anything, everything today is their own fault."

Mu Liya put away the flame in his hand, "Listen to you, do you have a grudge against the Jiang family?"

"Let's say there is a grudge." Shanlang lowered his head, so that people could not see the look in his eyes clearly, "But I never took the initiative to harm them. I can swear on this alone. Even when I hated them the most , I didn't even think about killing their whole family, but they...have killed her, and it's not enough for a lifetime..."

"who is she?"

Xue Zhi suddenly intervened in their conversation, "Is that woman?"

But facing his question, Shan Lang refused to continue, "Why don't you two finish the rest of the journey?"

The only message he gives is that, as long as they follow the path in the illusion, "the answer is there."

After he finished speaking, his figure disappeared into the wind, Xue Zhi turned to Mu Liya, "I know what he means now."

"Let's lead the way then."

Following the guidance of the woman in white in the illusion, Xue Zhi led him through the quiet courtyard.

Originally, there were strict regulations on the specifications of official and business families, but this crane brocade was taken by the empress in the palace. The Jiang family took advantage of the situation and became so prosperous that even the magistrate had to come to please him. Many arrangements really had to be counted one by one. Killing several heads is not enough.

The Jiang family's house is large and tortuous. If Xue Zhi hadn't possessed the wild intuition of a martial arts practitioner, he would probably have been drawn into it.After going around several times like this, the two finally came to the outside of the warehouse where all kinds of precious brocades were stored.

"What, who?"

Before Xue Zhi went over to unlock it, a man who described himself as embarrassed rolled out of the corner.He didn't even have time to wipe off the ashes on his body, pointing at Xue Zhi and the others, he shouted, "You... are you here to save me?"

His thin face reflected the collapse after extreme terror, "I...I can't bear it! Anyone is welcome, come and save me!"

"If you want us to save you, you must at least tell me who you are?"

Mu Liya tugged on Laxuezhi's sleeve and told him to lean towards him, "Otherwise, how would we know if you are the thief who broke in?"

His rebellion is mainly in normal times, and he might be refuted immediately, but this man was probably a little stunned by fright, and he actually thought seriously, "I... I am Jiang Wenhao, the second child in my family, you really want Are you here to save me?"

It's the Jiang family.Mu Liya didn't show it on the surface, but actually looked him over carefully, and suddenly his eyes stopped somewhere, "Second Young Master Jiang. Here."

As he said, he nodded his neck, and Jiang Laoer blinked in confusion, and reached out to touch him, "Huh?"

Mu Liya saw that he couldn't figure it out for a long time, so he breathed out and asked the taboo question, "Second Young Master Jiang, what is that thing on your neck?"

Having said so much, Jiang Wenhao still looked blank, "There's nothing...why is it itchy?"

He turned around, allowing Mu Liya and Xue Zhi to see clearly the abnormality on his neck: I don't know if he was bitten by a mosquito or something, but there was a fist-sized red envelope protruding from it, and the edge was slightly festered.

"It's itchy. It's itchy, it's really itchy!" Jiang Wenhao yelled, and the strength of his scratching unconsciously increased, "It's itchy, what's wrong, why is it so itchy!? It's killing me!"

He didn't use much force at first, but the itching seemed to come from the cracks in the bones, and the more he scratched, the more it hurt, and later, because the surrounding night was so quiet, Mu Liya could hear his nails scraping on the flesh Squeaks.

"Ah, it's itchy, it's itchy!" Jiang Wenhao didn't seem to feel any pain at all, and every time he scratched deeply into the flesh on the back of his neck.But no matter how much he scratched, the bone-eating itch didn't ease in the slightest.

Just when he was at his wit's end, Mu Liya interrupted his moaning, "Here, this loan should help you."

Those vaguely green pupils stared at Jiang Wenhao's face, "Aren't you itchy?"

What he handed over was nothing but his crescent moon dagger that never left his body for a long time, and Jiang Laoer took a look at the dagger without even having normal doubts, and decisively reached out to catch the unsheathed dagger, and turned towards the dagger. He went with his own neck.

Mu Liya and Xue Zhi looked at each other and saw the same message in each other's eyes.

"Sure enough..." Mu Liya turned his gaze away, watching Jiang Wenhao cut open the sore on his neck with a dagger.
