Chapter 31 Painted Skin
"I can only ask you." The gorgeously dressed and dignified woman lowered her head slightly, her hands trembling slightly
"Well, ma'am, please don't worry." Tao Zi smiled
Using the spell of meditation and concentration, sorted out the spirit of this anxious woman
Pei Rong let go of her clenched hands, took a few deep breaths, and finally relaxed
"Madam, please explain carefully." In the previous world, the things Taozi was familiar with have changed. This time it is the world of painted skin. Taozi wants to hear if this is another world that has been changed by magic.
"My husband fought in the Western Regions half a year ago and rescued a beautiful woman from robbers"
"This woman's skin is fluffy, smooth and fair, she doesn't look like someone who lives in the desert at all."
"I didn't pay much attention at the time, thinking that maybe she was taken captive to the Western Regions."
"My husband recognizes her as his younger sister, but his attitude towards her is not like that of a younger sister?" Pei Rong's voice was a little excited when she said this
"My husband didn't do anything that crossed the line, so I didn't ask too much about it... But a few days ago, a dead person suddenly appeared in the city"
"She covered her face with a veil for a while and said she had a rash. Not long after that I saw her go out at night and she died that night."
"...the next day she took off her veil, and her skin was smoother and fairer than before"
"I suspect that she is the heart-eating demon." Pei Rong felt that her suspicion of Xiao Wei was full of loopholes.
Xiao Wei looks like a young and beautiful girl on the surface, but the ambiguous atmosphere between Xiao Wei and her husband makes her a little uncomfortable
Pei Rong thought to herself, first try to find the demon killer first, if there is no result, it will be fine
I also remembered that when Xiao Wei just came here, such a cute and cute little girl, I really couldn't bear her being a monster
Pei Rong just wanted to dispel her inner doubts
If it is, the only option is to kill, after all, so many lives in the city are no joke
It would be better if not
"Hmm~" Till here, Taozi still hasn't heard any difference from the painted skin in his memory
"Then I have to go to the mansion to investigate." The names that appear on the Dianxian spectrum are Xiaowei and Pei Rong
Tao Zi felt that if she went to sell Xiuxian to the two of them as soon as she came up... no one would believe it!
So the most urgent thing is to gain the trust of both of them.
What Pei Rong wants is the sincerity of her husband, what Xiao Wei wants is true love, and Tao Zi will try her best to satisfy the two of them.
"...No, sir, let's go tomorrow." Pei Rong was silent for a while and said
She is still a little guilty now, and she thinks that monsters are a bit unbelievable, but she came to find the demon killer again
She does not believe that there are monsters in this world, but all these things point to monsters
This contradiction makes her uneasy
"I have no intention of not letting my husband come, um, I'd better make some preparations first." Perhaps noticing the inappropriateness of her words, Pei Rong hurriedly added
"Well, of course." Tao Zi smiled back.
"Please accept this, bring this to your door tomorrow, no one will stop you sir." Pei Rong took out a jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to Tao Zi
The material of this jade pendant is cold and delicate to the touch, it is really top grade
"This can be regarded as a reward." This jade pendant is one of Pei Rong's dowry. I heard that the rewards for eliminating demons are some old and weird things. Pei Rong is in a hurry to go out today, so she brought this jade pendant with her
"Do you want me to take my wife back? It's not safe to go out alone." Tao Zi put the jade pendant in her sleeve, and he had a good impression of this woman who valued love and righteousness in the original book
Tao Zi noticed that Pei Rong didn't even bring a guard or servant with her when she came out, Tao Zi offered to
"I don't know the way to your mansion yet." I was afraid that Pei Rong would not agree, so I added another sentence
"Huh? Then I'll trouble you sir, just send it to a far away place." She came out today for some private matters, so naturally she didn't bring anyone else with her
……
Pei Rong and Tao Zi walked side by side on the street. This is a small frontier town where all major business routes gather. The street is very bustling, and people wearing exotic clothes can be seen walking around everywhere.
The cries of hawkers are one after another
"This street is really lively," Tao Zi couldn't help saying
Now that there are so many murders in the city, shouldn't it be that people are panicked and afraid to go out?
"The government suppressed the matter, in order not to panic the people in the city." Pei Rong moved slightly closer to Taozi, glanced around and said
As the wife of the lord of this city, her husband said a little bit after he was drunk, and it was also because of his drunken words that she began to suspect that Xiao Wei was the monster who dug people's hearts
"Okay, I will trouble you to send it here, sir." Pei Rong stopped and saluted Tao Zi.
"That's the City Lord's Mansion." Pei Rong raised her finger
Tao Zi looked along and saw a mansion that wasn't too big, with a simple and elegant style, two red lanterns hanging at the door, and two servants standing at the door with their backs straight
"I must visit you in the future." Tao Zi cupped her hands at Pei Rong
Tao Zi has been standing on the side of the street waiting for Pei Rong to enter the mansion before leaving. He walked slowly towards the residence, covered his head and slept late, and visited again tomorrow morning
……
As soon as Pei Rong came home, she saw her husband sitting at the table with a sullen face.
A few fish were placed on the table, the blood of the fish flowed out and wet the tablecloth, making the tablecloth a bit dark, and there was a faint fishy smell in the air
"Are you back?" Wang Sheng raised his eyelids and glanced at Pei Rong, his face was very stinky
"Huh? What's the matter? Is the case still unresolved?" Pei Rong sat next to Wang Sheng and held Wang Sheng's hand
She also doesn't intend to scold Wang Sheng for dirtying the tablecloth, Wang Sheng is too busy these days
Wang Sheng's hands were covered with calluses due to many years of sword practice, the slightly rough touch made Pei Rong feel at ease
"No, it can be said that there is nothing to do." Wang Sheng held Pei Rong's hand instead
This is not the reason for his stinky face. He went to Yamen and Wu Zuo to inspect the corpse today, but he couldn’t find any clues from the corpse, which made Wang Sheng more sure that it was a monster.
The heart was completely dug out, the surrounding blood vessels were torn, and the wound on the back didn't look like it was injured by a sharp weapon, but it was as if someone suddenly reached in and took out the heart. Wang Sheng almost wanted to break his head
Seeing the sky getting dark, and thinking that today is the third anniversary of his and Pei Rong's marriage, Wang Sheng bought some fish at the market and planned to make Pei Rong's favorite boiled fish fillet
but!
What did he see a few meters away from home! !
He saw a very handsome man walking with his wife!
His wife went over to talk to that man!
Wang Sheng almost ran over and threw the fish he was carrying in the man's face!
But he restrained himself, the streets are full of people, it's not good to see
He planned to wait until Pei Rong came home.
"So you still remember that today is our third wedding anniversary?" Seeing that Wang Sheng was silent for a long time, Pei Rong raised the topic. She felt very happy that Wang Sheng could remember their third wedding anniversary in spite of his busy schedule.
"How could I forget, let's go, let's go to the kitchen, I'll make you your favorite boiled fish fillet" Wang Sheng excitedly took Pei Rong's hand and planned to go to the kitchen
At this moment, Wang Sheng decided that even if his wife Hongxing cheated, he would use his cooking skills to get her back
At first glance, that little boy looks like the eldest young master who doesn't touch the spring water with his fingers
……
As soon as Tao Zi came home, she saw an unexpected visitor coming to her house, but she was beaten to the ground by Monkey King
The man is lying face down on the ground, his long hair is covered in dust
