C17 In the Forest Looking for Trouble

The air in the mountains had recently become exceptionally fresh. The flowers and plants by the stream had been nourished by the warm spring rain and were now over their knees.

Occasionally, a few vigorous squirrel would fight on the tree and fall into the grass. They would quickly run back to the tree from the grass, as though the ground was filled with danger.

The sound of flowing water echoed throughout the forest. A few birds were happily flying in the forest. On the limestone floor sat a sweet girl. She was using her cheerful singing to move the entire forest.

She slowly combed her long hair. Her warm hands caressed her silk-like hair. Her feet kept flapping beside the stream. The splashing water made a corner of her new floral skirt wet.

The elegant fragrance of flowers spread around her body. Her eyes were clear and bright, making the world around her become beautiful for a moment.

However, there was a pair of eyes in the grass not far away, a pair of green eyes. The eyes that were staring at the girl seemed even more ferocious under the sunlight. Their pupils were sometimes enlarged and sometimes shrunk. Clearly, those who had these eyes would not be able to calm down at this moment.

That's right. Seeing such a beautiful girl, hearing such a pleasant song, being in such a comfortable environment, who would be able to calm down?

But this person was different, he was not an ordinary person. His eyes were green. Under the sunlight, he was like a red chain snake hiding in the grass, peeking at the most beautiful and mysterious spring light in the world.

The girl's voice was still drifting in the air. The long gown on her body slowly fell off one by one. Under the summer sun, the spring gradually lost its original warmth. At this time, the late spring already had the warmth of summer. Such a season was very suitable to find a hidden place to take a bath.

The mountain spring was sweet, and the girl's jade-like body was soaked in the sweet spring water, making the spring water look even more delicious and sweet. A jade-green hand suddenly stretched out from the grass and pulled away the lady's long robe. The stone slab seemed to still have the lady's elegant and alluring body fragrance.

Time passed very quickly. The afternoon sunlight was like a passionate young man. The hot light shone on the girl's jade-like body that was like a hibiscus that came out of water. However, the lady did not dare to go ashore. Because she could no longer touch her shameful clothes. In broad daylight. . . Anyone who knew shame wouldn't expose their body to the air.

The sound of giggling kept coming from the grass. The girl's face became uglier and uglier. Her fingers and toes had been soaked in the clear spring water for a long time and were gradually turning white. However, she did not dare to make a sound. She was afraid that it would not be a human, but a wolf.

The movement in the grass gradually became louder, and the girl seemed to have noticed it as well. She stuck her head out slightly, exposing her upper body to the air.

At this moment, the person in the grass seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. A green figure suddenly jumped up. Without waiting for the girl to shout, he rushed into the water one by one and dragged the girl into the sweet spring.

The spring water became bitter and stinky. The smell of blood flowed along the mountain spring and slowly flowed into the small village at the foot of the mountain.

This was the fifth missing girl. The people in the village began to panic. No one knew when, but the girls here would disappear one by one.

Under the instructions of the village chief, the villagers needed to form groups whenever they went out, especially the unmarried girls. They needed to be accompanied by their companions.

When Mrs Ma went to wash the vegetables by the water, she suddenly saw a black thing floating over from the upstream of the stream. She twisted the clothes in her hands, wiped her hands on the apron, and then went over to take a look.

It was a black object. It was as if it was entangled with fur. The bold Mrs Ma walked forward and picked up a tree branch. She poked it in the water and when she touched it, her pupils began to shrink. Her body also began to shake involuntarily. After a cry of surprise, she fainted.

When she woke up again, she held Old Ma tightly by the bed and curled up into a ball. After that thing was scooped up, she found that it was the girl's head, one of the missing girls.

Mrs Ma's tears continued for more than four hours. It was only at dusk that she slowly calmed down. When Xiao Nanfeng rushed back, Mrs Ma had already stabilized her emotions.

"It seems that the situation is not good. " Xiao Nanfeng frowned. He threw the chopping axe in his hand to the side and picked up the rice bowl that Mrs Ma handed over. He ate a few mouthfuls and said.

Old Ma knocked on the pipe and sighed. "Then, do you know who did it?"

Xiao Nanfeng stared at the dishes on the table. Every dish seemed like the head of the girl he saw just now. He suddenly felt a little nauseous. He put the rice bowl in his hand aside and shook his head. He picked up his Drought Smoke Pot and began to smoke.

"Mrs Ma, I will go to the mountain to chop firewood tomorrow morning. Do you want to come with me?" A clear and melodious voice came from outside the courtyard. It was Cui Yunyun's voice.

Xiao Nanfeng's heart suddenly jumped. He rushed out of the yard door and grabbed Yunyun's hand. He said coldly, "In the future, you are not allowed to go to the mountains, understand?"

Cui Yunyun laughed and broke free of Xiao Nanfeng's hand. She paced around and said, "What is it? Are you worried about me?"

"No, I am warning you!" This was the first time Cui Yunyun had seen Xiao Nanfeng so serious ever since she met him. She nodded, but immediately shook her head. "Oh my, I'm not going to chop wood. What if there is no firewood to burn at home?"

Xiao Nanfeng pointed to the firewood in the yard. "How much do you want? Come and get it. When I have time, I will go to the mountains to chop. "

Cui Yunyun helplessly looked at Mrs Ma in the yard. Mrs Ma also helplessly spread out her hands, indicating that she was also warned like this.

On the same day, Gusu City sent people here to investigate the case. The one who came was Murong family's advisor, Murong Yu.

Murong Yu was Murong Ke's cousin. Although he had practiced some martial arts, it was very common. However, he did not bring one or two people this time. He brought more than thirty bailiffs and the famous warrior of the Northern Region, Murong Cheng.

Of course, he had met Xiao Nanfeng before. Not only had he met him, but he had also met him. The scholar who had stopped him from entering the Mu Rong residence in the past was Murong Yu. He had never been good at using martial arts in his life, so he didn't deserve the title of Mu Rong family's martial arts family.

Old Ma ran back home excitedly. "This is bad. Quick, the government has sent people over. This time, they are really generous. The village chief wants our whole family to go!"

Mrs Ma hurriedly packed her things, locked the door, and left in a hurry. At this time, Xiao Nanfeng was still on the way to transport manure. His car was about to leave the city at this time, so there was still half a day to go before he came back.

"Today, the city lord sent me here. Compared to everyone else, I know that it was because the girls in the village went missing one after another! It is said that the corpses of the girls have been found in the past two days. Where are they now?"

Murong Yu asked everyone. Everyone looked at each other in dismay. The village chief bowed and said: "Buried. Sigh, poor girl, she's only 16 years old. Just. . . " The more he spoke, the sadder he got. The villagers were also saddened.

Murong Yu saw this and waved the palm-leaf fan in his hand. He touched his temples and said," Since that's the case, then. . . Can someone describe the appearance of a girl when she died?"

Someone raised his hand and said, "Aiya, that's tragic. This head looks like it was ripped off by someone. It's a mess. We cleaned it up for a long time before we cleaned up the child's face. "

Murong Yu looked at Murong Cheng who was standing at the side. Murong Cheng shook his head and said, "If that's the case, we won't be able to determine anything. Open the coffin. "

Everyone was shocked. The villagers were all ordinary people. They had never seen such a scene, especially the mother of the girl. She was lying on the grave and crying like crazy. No matter who tried to persuade her, it was useless.

Murong Cheng was a little impatient. He waved the knife in his hand and a wave of air blew away the dust on the ground. The corner of his mouth twitched and he spat on the ground. He said in a stern voice: "Get lost. "

The woman didn't listen to him. She was still crying and crying, but her husband's legs were already trembling. He found that under the blade of this man's blade, the stone tablet on his daughter's grave was broken in half.

The brand new flat seam made people feel cold. Without waiting for Murong Cheng to say anything, the man ran up and slapped his woman's face. He scolded, "Quick, come home with me!"

The woman seemed to be confused by the slap and was dragged away from the grave by the man. When the dozen or so bailiffs dug out the girl's coffin, a stench had already spread in all directions. Even Old Ma, who carried manure every day, felt that the stench was the most stinky smell he had ever smelled in his life.

After the coffin was opened, everyone took a few steps back. Murong Cheng walked to the side of the coffin and carefully examined the wound on the girl's neck.

He could tell at a glance that this was not an ordinary wound, but a wound that had been cut by a knife. Although the wound was messy, the outermost cut was surprisingly smooth. Even he felt a little embarrassed by such knife skills.

"It's a knife user. " Murong Cheng said lightly and walked into the deep mountains without looking back.

Under the cover of the night, the deep mountains seemed to be even quieter. Occasionally, there would be a few Cloth Valley Birds leisurely humming their own songs. There was basically no sound at all.

Of course, there was also the sound of flowing water beside him. This was the sound he wanted to hear, because his goal was to hear the sound of the flowing water.

Murong Cheng stayed in the mountain for three days. No one dared to go up to meet him, because before he left, he said the word saber user.

If he said that this saber user, who could make people tremble in fear, was in the mountain, then ordinary people had no choice but to believe him, because no one had the courage to use their lives to test him.

Three days later, he returned to the village. He was covered in weeds. He did not take a shower, did not eat, and only drank some water.

Murong Yu called everyone to the village again. Murong Cheng said coldly, "There is no one in the mountain. If there is, then this person should be at the foot of the mountain, in your village. "

Someone said, unconvinced. "Hey, do you have any proof that the murderer is in our village? someone asked. Have you investigated the entire mountain in the past three days? "

Murong Cheng said lightly. "No, but my blade won't lie to me. My blade can't feel the power of the blade. "
