If you don't count, you will die

Chapter 24

Silently shook the warm palms under his hands, the stretched and tense strings were slowly drawn back due to the dream of returning to modern times, and the steady and waveless heartbeat became rhythmic again, as if an ancient well had suddenly lost its light. The fluctuations of Yang, the fluctuations circle and circle, grow from small to large, and the stable heart begins to perceive joy, anger, sorrow and joy.

He looked at Lin Mu very seriously, just when Lin Mu thought he was going to say something touching, he spoke silently.

"I know why the pagoda trees in Huaishu Village bloom early and are so lush."

Lin Mu seemed a little unresponsive, let go of the hand holding Silence, and asked, "What?"

Mo Mo held Hao Su, who had been carrying him all the time, paused for a moment because of the tingling pain in his chest, and then raised Hao Su in front of him without hesitation, "I know the reason why Huaishu Village bloomed early, we Immediately take someone to Huaishu Village, and I will re-do the divination for that girl."

Lin Mu reached out and snatched Hao Su from Shen Mo's hand, "Do you know why you are unconscious?"

Since Shen Mo woke up, his mind was very clear and clear, and he began to remember the case that had not been solved for a long time. At this time, after listening to Lin Mu's questioning, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have suddenly passed out.

He fell silent and shook his head. He knew that he had a dream. He frowned and wanted to recall the scene in the dream, but found that he could only recall a dry, dull feeling, and a vague white mist. When he thought about other things, it was I can't think of it anyway.

"I had dreams, many dreams, but I don't remember them."

"Then how did you know why the locust tree is blooming?"

Mo Mo looked up at Lin Mu, his unshielded eyes were dark and watery, and there was no trace of impurity in them, he said, "Of course I will know."

Ling Mu sighed, and put Hao Su back in Shen Mo's hands, "Forget it, get up and rest for a while, we will go to Huaishu Village, Su Yuanhuan has already left early, you have been hit by a dream Gu, the situation is urgent, Su Yuanhuan will go alone Seeking Shuisheng."

Mo Mo touched his chest and asked, "Dream Gu?"

Lin Mu stretched out his hands to press Silence's palms, and pressed them together on his chest, "According to what Su Yuanhuan said, it's a very dangerous Gu, but for some reason it was repelled by your body."

exclusion?

Mo Mo firmly shook Haosu in his hand with the other hand. He always had a feeling that the exclusion of dream gu had a lot to do with Haosu in his hand.

Lin Mu let go, stepped forward to untie the belt that was not tied just now for Shen Mo, gathered it up and fastened it again, and said: "Su Yuanhuan left in a hurry and didn't say where he went, we just need to check ours. Alright , take me to see the reason you said."

Led by Lin Mu's words, Mo Mo quickly summoned the few remaining disciples of the Law Enforcing Hall, and hurried to Huaishu Village.

Along the way, Shen Mo was still on the same horse as Lin Mu, with Shen Mo in front and Lin Mu behind.

No way, Shen Mo still can't ride a horse.

The horse ran fast, Mo Mo held the reins tightly in front of him, and looked at the scenery passing by on both sides. The nature of a man made him love this speed of galloping very much. He couldn't help raising his head, feeling the breeze blowing across his face.

Lin Mu's voice came from above his head, "Like it?"

After being silent for a long time, I nodded slowly, I like it.

"If you like, after this matter is over, I will teach you how to ride a horse. I am very good at teaching people."

Shen remained silent, and Lin Mu also stopped talking.

Huaishu Village soon arrived. Mo Mo came to Huaishu Village three times, and the appearance was different every time.

At this time, in Huaishu Village, there were no stumps all over the ground. The people in the law enforcement hall moved quickly. Those broken limbs had been taken back to the ice room of the law enforcement hall for temporary storage. For a while, the splattered blood had dried up dark red and soaked into the soil.

But what remains unchanged in Huaishu Village is the lush and heavy flowers of Huaishu trees.

Shen Mo walked under a locust tree, raised his hand to catch a falling petal, and crushed it with his hand. The abundant flower juice overflowed, which was fuller than ordinary locust flower.

Throwing the crushed petals casually, silently pointing to the acacia tree, said: "Dig, be careful."

A group of law enforcement hall guards were stunned, dig?dig what?

Lin Mu glanced at Silence, then looked at the stunned Law Enforcement Hall disciples, stroked his forehead, "Since you already know what to do, why didn't you remind them to bring some tools?"

Mo Mo met Lin Mu's gaze, and then looked at the tall and mighty disciples of Law Enforcing Hall who were looking at him. Those disciples all had expressionless faces, but there was a trace of... grievance in their eyes?

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that." Shen Mo immediately apologized, then pointed to the underside of the pagoda tree, urging: "Dig, under every tree."

Apparently, the silent apology didn't have any effect. A disciple of Law Enforcing Hall quickly pulled out the saber from his waist, took one step towards silence, and took another step closer.

The rest of the disciples followed suit and also drew their sabers from their waists, and walked towards silence in a neat step. The scene was very spectacular.

More than a dozen tall and mighty black-clothed disciples held broad knives and stepped up to meet the young man in red gauze and brocade robe under the locust tree. The young man's head was slightly sideways, and petals were falling from the top of his head. After staying for a while, it slipped down reluctantly.

The young man was not tall, but he didn't seem to be afraid of the confrontation of more than a dozen guards. A gust of wind blew by, the red veil fluttering along with the black hair at the back of his head, and more than a dozen disciples also walked in front of him.

They swung their sabers in front of them, facing Silence, bent over neatly and neatly, raised their sabers, and dug!

Ling Mu idly leaned against a tree trunk, looking at the deterrent practices of the dozen or so Law Enforcing Hall disciples who thought they were useful, and then at Mo Mo with a cold face, and threw the black-haired man who was helping him to the back in disgust, Pointing to the locust tree next to it, the meaning is very clear, don't dig a place with a group of people.

The group of Law Enforcing Hall disciples gritted their teeth and dispersed, each taking their own sabers to dig the ground. Although they were angry, they did their duty and were very careful.

They were strong and planed very quickly. Immediately, one of the disciples stood up suddenly, as if he was a little frightened. Seeing the strange expression on his face, the other disciples looked over at him one after another.

Seeing everyone looking at him, the disciple blushed a little on his pitch-black face, as if he felt embarrassed that such a tall man was frightened, he coughed, and the disciple said, "Under the tree, there are human bones."

Shen Mo's face was not surprised, as if he had guessed it long ago, he came over and squatted in front of the pit under the tree, looked at the bones buried in the soil with only a section of bones exposed, and said: "Keep digging, be careful."

Lin Mu raised her eyebrows, looked up at the branches swaying in the wind and the falling petals, as if feeling something.

This flower blooms so well, but the price is too high.

After the first human bone was dug out, soon, the second, third, fourth... More and more human bones were dug out. With traces of flesh and blood, these human bones belonged to different parts, but the number was very large. Longer bones like leg bones were also smashed into several pieces and buried separately, but there were some bones under almost every tree.

Even so, even if some of these excavated bones had some flesh and blood on them, they didn't smell bad. They didn't have the pungent rotten smell when the corpses rot, but there was still a faint fragrance, which permeated the surrounding area. The rich scent of Sophora japonica is very close.

Silence looked at the pile of human bones, and said: "Su Yuanhuan said that the feigned death Gu likes to eat meat, whether it is living human flesh or dead human flesh. The rest was used as fertilizer for locust trees. Although it is the most common feigned death Gu, I didn't expect the cost of breeding it to be so high."

A disciple of the Law Enforcing Hall picked out a severed finger from the dirt, and couldn't help asking: "My lord, are these... all of these things done by that child named Shuisheng?"

Shen Mo shook his head, Shuisheng was a child of a few years old, through trance and several contacts, although he was known to be cruel and mature, but he did not know if he was the only one responsible for such a large-scale breeding and slaughter.

What if there are other people behind him to support him?

Is it the legendary Yao tribe?

In the end, a large pit was dug under all the locust trees, and the bones dug out were fragmented, difficult to splice and identify, but roughly estimated that there were at least ten people.

Where did these ten people come from?

Some of the bones are very clean, so it is inferred that the time of death will not be short. After so long, so many people died, but why no one reported the crime?

Huaishu Village is close to Zeshui City, and the place is not remote. If something happened, it should be discovered soon.

Or this Huaishu Village has been under the control of the Yao people since a long time ago?

"Bring these bones back to the law enforcement hall, and then check the underground of each household to see if there is an underground secret room."

More than a dozen law enforcement hall disciples immediately took orders and set off in two separate directions.

"keep the change."

Suddenly a voice resounded not far away, carrying internal force, it spread over.

Everyone looked at it immediately, and saw that Su Yuanhuan, who had left early, was coming slowly dragging something.

He walked very slowly, and the things he was dragging moved forward slowly as he moved.

When he got closer, he could clearly see what was behind him.

It was a small human body with its head down, and Su Yuanhuan lifted one leg, while the rest of its limbs hung limply. As it was dragged, a long bloodstain was drawn on the ground.

Mo Mo walked forward quickly, Su Yuan stopped when he saw him coming, let go of his hands and dropped his legs, and then clapped his hands in disgust.

"Chang Li is sleeping in the cellar at the end of Huaishu Village. Go and pick him up."

A disciple came over and turned the little body lying motionless on the ground, it was Shui Sheng with his eyes closed and his seven orifices still bleeding.

"Is he dead?" Silence asked.

Su Yuanhuan raised his foot and kicked Shuisheng's body, "It was like this when I saw him. I'm afraid he was backlashed by the death of too many Gu worms, but it doesn't matter if he died or not. The Yao people are full of tricks. , even if you pretend to die and want to wait for an opportunity to escape, maybe."

As he said that, Su Yuanhuan drew his sword and pointed it at Shui Sheng's throat, as if he wanted to stab it down.

Mo Mo stretched out his hand to stop him, "I still have something to ask..."

But Su Yuanhuan moved extremely fast, and with a flick of the sword tip, he had already plunged into the aquatic throat.

A column of blood gushed out from the pierced throat, but Shui Sheng's body remained motionless, without any reaction.

Come to think of it, it was true that Su Yuanhuan was already dead when he found him.

This scene may look cruel to those who don't know it. After all, Shuisheng is only a few years old, but when he thinks of the fifteen corpses lying in the underground ice room and this weird Huaishu Village, he feels that he deserved it.

But did Shui Sheng really die because of the backlash caused by the death of Gu insects?

Shen Mo raised his head and looked at Su Yuanhuan's ordinary face, which was always smiling and tired from sleep. At this time, he looked at the small corpse of Shui Sheng expressionlessly, with the tip of the sword still stuck in his throat. In the middle of the tube, he seemed extremely indifferent.
