Chapter 37 Death

In front, Liu Xu took Xiaoyue along this remote alley until the end. After finding a simple house, the two went in directly.

Most of the houses in this alley are simple and simple, and most of the people living here are poor people.

After Liu Xu and Xiaoyue entered the room, they walked out after a while.

From Xu Bai's point of view, Xiaoyue's face is much more relaxed.

"It's okay, Xiaoyue, I have cured your illness." Liu Xu said with a smile.

Xiaoyue regained her innocent smile and nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Sister Liu."

"It's okay, sister will take you back." Liu Xu always smiled.

"Yes." Xiaoyue nodded obediently.

The two talked for a while, and left the street.

Xu Bai didn't follow and left, staring at the simple house thoughtfully.

Once in and out, the problem is solved?

This thing is weird, especially this house.

He thought for a while, and when he was sure that the street was empty, he came to the house.

There is a lock on the door, which is an ordinary padlock, and the door can be pushed open with one hand.

Xu Bai didn't use his hands, but pulled out the ghost knife, and pushed it away with the handle.

After the door was pushed open a crack, the sun shone into the room.

The decoration inside is simple, but it is quite complete.

When Xu Bai saw the inside for the first time, his eyes widened suddenly.

Under the dim sunlight, there are several shadows swaying, and as the sun shines, the shadows appear and disappear.

Those are three people, people hanging on the beams.

middle-aged couple, Xiaoyue.

The three of them are hanging on the beams, with ropes around their necks, and their hands are hanging down.

The three pairs of eyes were wide open, and the tongue was stuck out of the mouth, no longer alive.

There are large corpse spots on the skin, which proves that it has been dead for a long time.

"Dead?" Xu Bai was stunned, he thought of Xiaoyue he had met before.

But why can I still see it?

Is it weird?

It's not that Weird is irrational and only knows about crazy killings, but why are they still setting up stalls on the street like living people?

Xu Bai couldn't figure it out, after all, he hadn't been in this circle for long.

Although he has taken many lives in a short period of time, he is still a novice, and many theoretical things are unclear.

So seeing this scene now, he can't understand the reason.

But one thing... It is certain that Xiaoyue and Xiaoyue's parents are dead.

Xu Bai looked at the cheek with protruding eyes, and thought of Xiaoyue's well-behaved appearance at ordinary times, and held the ghost knife tightly.

How does it feel?

Can't speak clearly.

Usually, Xiaoyue is innocent and innocent, maintaining curiosity and innocence towards everything around her.

Now Xiaoyue is completely different, her face covered with corpse spots is full of terror.

Anyone who sees this look will have a huge gap.

This is just a seven or eight-year-old girl, but she has reached the end of her life.

Xu Bai considered himself a cruel person, but seeing this scene before him, he still felt uncomfortable.

After coming to this world, from Menghuzhai to Shengxian County, he has experienced many battles, and every time he drove the enemy to death, there was a lot of blood on his hands.

Only in front of that stall, eating buns and porridge from the stall, he felt happy during that time.

In the dark, the more you yearn for the light.

"Who is it?" Xu Bai took a deep breath.

It is very strange that a family of three committed suicide for no reason.

Everyone wants to live. If nothing happens, who will commit suicide?

Standing where he was, Xu Bai was thinking.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps next to his ear, interrupting Xu Bai's thoughts.

Xu Bai looked at a nearby house, where the door was closed.

True energy circulated in his body, he jumped high and landed on the roof, using the roof to hide his figure.

A large group of people poured in from the alley, wearing yamen clothes.

The county magistrate and Liu Xu took the lead, but the little moon who was led out by Liu Xu before had disappeared.

"Miss Liu, is this the house?" County Magistrate Zhang asked.

Liu Xu nodded.

The yamen servant rushed in, opened the door, and then used a stretcher to carry out three corpses covered with white cloth.

Soon, the yamen servants carried the corpse away, leaving Liu Xu and Magistrate Zhang in the alley.

"Master County Magistrate, I hope this matter will be enforced fairly." Liu Xu said.

"That's natural, I will take the best way." County Magistrate Zhang replied casually.

"The best way?" Liu Xu frowned, even though she was covered with a white gauze, she could tell that she was very unhappy.

"Most people in the academy have to take the merit test. After you pass the test, you will understand everything." County Magistrate Zhang said again.

In the Great Chu State, even women can obtain fame.

The meaning of the emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom is that regardless of gender, talent is the only choice.

Most of the people who study in the academy are also for the purpose of obtaining fame, and only a very small number will stay in the academy.

"But..." Liu Xu still wanted to speak.

"I know that Qingyun Academy values you, and I also came from the academy. Although I am not Qingyun Academy, you can write a letter to your teacher about this matter, and he will tell you everything." County magistrate Zhang interrupted Liu Xu, I don't want to say more.

Liu Xu sighed when she saw this scene.

She planned to go back first, and write a letter to her teacher as Magistrate Zhang said, to see what was going on.

"Let's leave first. In short, after two days, I will announce this matter, including the cause and effect and corresponding punishment." County magistrate Zhang added.

Having said this, Liu Xu has been thinking about what Magistrate Zhang said.

The corpse had been carried away, and Magistrate Zhang and Liu Xu also left the alley.

At this time, Xu Bai jumped down from the roof and looked at the empty room with gloomy eyes.

He heard clearly from the roof just now.

From the conversation between the two, it can be heard that Xiaoyue's death has other secrets behind it.

Leaving aside why Xiaoyue became in that strange state, the secret behind it is worth investigating.

"Two days later..." Xu Bai touched his chin.

He intends to wait another three days to see what they will announce.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai didn't stay in the alley, but left directly.

Liu Mansion.

After Liu Xu returned home, she was in a bad mood, so she went back to her boudoir immediately and took off her veil.

She was sitting on a chair, with her chin resting on her white palms, her elbows on the table, as if she was thinking about something, her eyes were dull.

It took a while to recover, took out a piece of paper from the drawer, dipped a brush in ink, and wrote a letter.

After finishing writing, I turned out the iron cage from another cabinet, and there was a carrier pigeon in the iron cage.

This carrier pigeon belongs to Qingyun Academy. If there is any necessary situation, you can contact the academy through this method.

The content of the letter is very short. Liuxu folded the letter, tied it to the pigeon's leg, and walked outside.

"Plop flop..."

Accompanied by a fluttering sound, the carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew away.

Liu Xu stared straight at the direction in which the pigeon flew away, holding her hands tightly.

After a while, he let go and returned to the room.

Looking at the green smoke rising from the censer in the room, she took out the book from her sleeve and turned to a certain page.

A burst of white light flashed from the book, and then three lights fell on the ground.
