Thorn silk gl

Chapter 13

Just now, Chu Heng was in a hurry to save people in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, so he didn't bother to interrogate the maid.When all the dust settled, they heard the commotion outside the East Palace, and after asking, they found out that a little maid stumbled and fell into Yuhu Lake.

In the middle of winter, Yuhu Lake was covered with a thin layer of ice, and she didn't know what medicine she had taken wrongly, so she stepped on the ice to play alone.The ice floe was so shallow that it couldn't support the weight, and it shattered into a hole in the ice. The maid fell silently, and the heavy winter clothes soaked through the water, and sank to the bottom without even struggling twice.

It is said that when it was picked up, it was frozen hard, and two ice skates were tied to the soles of the feet.

The entire palace was busy celebrating the New Year's Eve, and as a result, such an incident happened in the plot, and no one would call it bad luck.No one wanted to take care of the corpse, so it was dragged out of the corner gate and buried hastily.

Outside the corner door?Mass grave?

The two looked at each other when they heard the words, while Chu Heng raised his eyebrows and silently asked for her opinion.

Fu Wan shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Just go, what's so scary about dead people?"

However, the fact is that that night, before she reached the cemetery, she was completely intimidated.Chu Heng held a hoe in one hand and looked at Fu Wan who was hiding behind him with his neck curled up, with a black line drawn across his forehead.

"Your Highness," she said helplessly, "you are pulling me, how can I dig a hole?"

Fu Wan puffed up: "I, where do I have it?" Her fingers were still tightly clenched and she refused to let go.

It is said to be a mass grave, but it is actually just a small hill outside the palace gate. Because many palace people who committed crimes are buried, there is always a gloomy smell. The villagers living in the back hill prefer to go to Beijing by detour I don't want to fight here.

Fu Wan was standing in the middle of this rickety dead tree and barren grave.

The moonlight is dim, and there are several phosphorous fires flickering in the forest.

She followed Chu Hengze carefully, and the light sound of stepping on a dead branch could startle her—it was so dark that she couldn't tell whether it was a branch or a bone.

"Is this really here?"

"Yeah." Chu Heng checked the direction left and right, "It is said that the straw mat was wrapped and thrown under the camphor tree, and only a thin layer of soil was buried."

There are weeds in a few meters around, only this half-dead camphor tree with crooked neck.

Fu Wan: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and dig?" The cool wind blew past, filled with a thin smell of earth, and her skin got goosebumps.

Chu Heng nodded, and frowned as he went down with a hoe.Fu Wan poked his head out from behind her, and also gasped.

The soil was loose, and the hoe sank into the ground softly. With a light shake, the soil next to it fell down.Soon, the flat ground collapsed.

Where is the dead body?It was clearly just an empty tomb.

There are still many fresh footprints beside the pit, which are messy and mixed with fingerprints, as if someone had tried their best to crawl out.

Fu Wan shivered.

In a panic, she took two steps back.Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of something passing by behind the camphor tree, and raised her head subconsciously, but this glance almost scared her out of her wits.

"Then...there..."

Fu Wan was almost out of breath, and under the dim moonlight, he saw a woman in white clothes standing up behind the tree at some point, her slender figure looked like a ghost.

Fu Wan: "Save—"

Gui Ying opened her mouth, but called out her name accurately: "Fu Wan?"

Fu Wan: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" She braced herself not to fall down, but the woman approached her like teleporting in a short breath.

Don't come here! !

Covering her eyes, she flinched back desperately, and almost fell limp when her foot stepped on the ground. At this moment, the "ghost" reached out and firmly grasped her fingertips, and helped her to stabilize again. The familiar light sandalwood fragrance came after her. Come.

Huh?Fu Wan blinked, Wen...'s?

A cold voice said: "What kind of trick are you playing?"

Fu Wan raised her head with tears in her eyes, and saw a pair of beautiful and cold phoenix eyes.

She: "Bai, Bai Chan?"

She has always been exquisite and thoughtful, but the frightened look at this moment is quite different from the cuteness in the past, Bai Chan couldn't help but take a second look.

Fu Wan was still in a daze, thinking of many miscellaneous strange stories. It is said that there is a spirit in the mountains that can take the form of a human to absorb people's energy.Could this "white cicada" in front of me be transformed by that monster?Oh, by the way, there seems to be another kind of monster who is used to stealing people's skins to paint their skins. This monster has the appearance of a white cicada. Could it be that Miss Bai has been killed?

The more she thought about it, the more horrified she became, her face turned pale and white.

"Fu Wan?" Bai Chan bent slightly to look into her eyes, "Teacher?"

Hearing the familiar title, Fuwan's heart settled down a little, and she sniffed: "It's really you?"

"Ah."

Bai Chan thought for a while, then took out a whistle from her sleeve and showed it to her: "Should I believe it this time?"

"..." Fu Wan's fragile expression instantly subsided, and his whole body trembled again, and he accused him confidently, "What are you doing, hiding secretly to scare people!"

Bai Chan: "I just want to ask you, what did you come to this mass grave in the middle of the night?"

Fu Wan said: "What about you, don't you also come here to hang out in the middle of the night?"

Bai Chan choked, Fang said, "I was entrusted by someone..."

"Well, I'm about the same." Fu Wan said nonsense without blinking, "Our palace comes here every month to burn paper to worship."

"Burning paper?" Bai Chan seemed puzzled, and looked at Chu Hengze beside him, "Using a hoe?"

Chu Heng was full of embarrassment, and secretly hid the tools of the crime behind his back.

"Hiss, you guys..." Bai Chan turned her gaze between the two of them, as if she understood something, and showed that disapproving look, "How can you do such a thing?"

Fu Wan was taken aback, and asked what he had done.Baichan frowned: "You are really short of money, you can come to me to borrow it, why bother...why bother with this kind of person?" He pointed to Chu Hengze next to him.

Fu Wan: "?"

The waiter who lay innocently lying on the gun: "..."

Bai Chan warned: "The burial objects are also considered as belongings of the owner. If you dig these soft things, it will hurt the yin."

The corners of Fu Wan's mouth twitched, they were being regarded as grave robbers.But it's not the worst situation, she comforted herself, stealing belongings is better than stealing corpses.

After Bai Chan finished educating her, she turned to Chu Hengze and said seriously, "My lord, I asked you to take care of Fu Wan, but it's not this kind of care."

Chu Heng was very wronged: "Actually, I..."

"Hey——" Fu Wan hurriedly interrupted her, grabbed Bai Chan's sleeve and shook it, "It won't happen again, okay?"

Bai Chan pursed her lips, nodded slightly after a while.

Fu Wan breathed a sigh of relief: "Then what are you doing here?"

Bai Chan was very frank: "Dig up the corpse."

Fu Wan: "..."

Chu Heng said: "..."

These days, tomb robbery can't be done, but it's okay to steal corpses?

Seeing their hesitation and hesitation, Bai Chan knew it was a misunderstanding, and then explained: "I was entrusted by someone. Someone entrusted me to find a corpse. He said he was old with this person, and he couldn't bear her to expose the corpse in the wilderness." , wanting to be sent back to his hometown for burial.”

Fu Wan and Chu Heng looked at each other, and said tentatively, "Could it be that female corpse under the camphor tree in the northeast corner that you're looking for?"

Bai Chan was slightly surprised: "Exactly."

Fu Wan's eyes lit up: "Where is that corpse now? Can you let us take a look, just a look!"

The corner of Bai Chan's lips twitched subtly.

Look at the corpse...?What kind of obsession is this?Obviously just now, he was so frightened that he wanted to fly up in place, why did he suddenly want to see the corpse again.

Chu Heng clasped his fists and said, "Dian and I...we do have unspeakable difficulties, and I hope the girl will make it easier for me."

"What's so good about a corpse?" Bai Chan said so, but still led the two of them a little deeper.

At the edge of the forest, Bai Chan paused.

It happened that a gust of night wind blew the leaves, startling several bats.They flew so low that they almost brushed past their heads.Fuwan shuddered at the touch of itching and shedding hair, and collapsed on Bai Chan's body.

Bai Chan stretched out his hand to hold her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Are you afraid?"

"Afraid, so what? You...you don't have anything to be afraid of?" Fu Wan wanted to talk back, but unfortunately her voice was trembling and lacked the slightest deterrence.

Bai Chan didn't pierce her, she held her with one hand to prevent her from sliding down, and raised her chin: "It's here."

Several people looked up, and saw a broken straw mat spread out in the open space in front of them, the middle part was slightly arched, it should be the dead body.The head of the corpse was covered with a white cloth made of silk, which was so clean that it didn't fit in with the surrounding environment. It was probably Baichan's personal belongings.Burying the face with a white cloth is the last respect.

Fu Wan subconsciously glanced at Bai Chan with a cold expression. She thought that a Jianghu person like her should be used to seeing life and death, but she didn't know that there was such a warm side.

Chu Heng stepped forward quickly, gently lifted the straw mat, one foot slipped from the mat, was dirty and bare, and the other foot was wearing a self-made skate.Holding the saber instead, she pushed the entire mat aside.

The body was completely soaked, the hair stuck to the cheeks like tangled seaweed, the face was pale, the eyes were tightly closed, and it was barely visible that he was young.

Fu Wan's heart trembled slightly.

Chu Shizhong said "Offended", bent down and threw her clothes all over, and they were all empty.Fu Wan watched from the side, and then knelt down, raised her hand to hold her stiff ankle and looked through it.

Bai Chan: "You..."

"Not quite right." Fu Wan frowned and said in a low voice.There was a small scratch on the blue instep and heel of the court lady, but there was no scab, which was obviously caused after death.But the corpse was wrapped on its back in the straw mat, how could it be injured like this?

She took a closer look and saw that the wound was only sporadically covered with grass clippings, which fell off as soon as she blew on it.With a thought, she seemed to think of something, and took off the other shoe.

Sure enough, there was a similar wound on the left foot.

Fu Wan murmured: "...So that's how it is."

Chu Heng asked, "You doubt?"

Fu Wan: "These shoes are put on hard."

The size of this pair of skates is slightly smaller than her feet, and the body is stiff, so naturally it is not easy to stuff them in.The murderer was worried that he would be discovered too late, so he exerted so much force that he accidentally scratched the skin.

Fu Wan said, "Someone killed her."

Bai Chan suddenly shot a line of sight.She walked quickly, bent down and brushed the corpse's hair away, and stretched out two fingers to test the softness of the skin.

Bai Chan closed her eyes slightly and asked, "When did she fall into the water?"

Chu Heng recalled it for a while and said it was about afternoon.

Bai Chan let go of her hand and shook her head: "Impossible, at noon at the latest, she is already dead."

When she was speaking, she stopped right behind Fuwan, and when she bent down, the silk belt hung down softly and brushed against her ears.Fu Wan shook his head, felt itchy, and couldn't describe the heat, and was distracted for a while.

In a moment of distraction, Bai Chan had turned over the corpse a little bit, lifted the hair on the nape of her neck, and inspected it carefully.

Chu Heng said, "Can you see anything?"

Bai Chan checked her nails again, frowning: "Someone pinned her into the water from behind." She held up her hand and signaled the two to come over and look. The permeable mud was dark black, obviously not the sandy soil of this mass grave, but more like wet and soft pond mud.

——Probably picked it off during a desperate struggle.

Fu Wan swallowed, and was about to say something when he suddenly heard the sound of sharp blades piercing the air behind him.

A white dress suddenly hugged her, her eyes turned upside down, she rolled around several times in a daze, and fell to the ground.

duh duh!

Looking up again, I saw three feather arrows inserted deeply into the position where they were just now.

"Who?" Chu Heng said sharply.

There was no answer in the darkness, there were shadows in the forest, and it was unknown how many people were hiding.Without giving them any time to breathe, the other party leaped forward and slashed at them head-on, while Chu Heng drew his knife out of its sheath in an instant, barely holding the axe.

Zheng!

The sound of metal and iron colliding was extremely ear-piercing, almost sparks.Chu Heng snorted and took half a step back.

--too heavy.

It was a fine steel battle ax with an extremely sharp handle. If it was cut on a person, it might be able to split her in half right away.

The secret opponent smiled lightly.

not good.Chu Heng's eyes widened suddenly, and under the cover of the night, another battle-axe slashed silently from the side, and it was about to slice through her chest and abdomen.It was enough for her to support the ax above her head with both hands, and she had no time to be distracted.

Time slowed down, and the whirring of weapons cutting through the air could almost be heard.

Fu Wan lost her voice: "Heng Ze!"

At that moment, the howling wind shattered the air flow, the clouds moved rapidly, and the crescent moon broke free from the shackles of darkness, and suddenly illuminated the sky and the earth.

At the same time, a sharp arc suddenly flashed in the forest.

Bright as a bright moon, cold as ice.

Bai Chan drew his sword.
