Chapter 37 Death

In front, Liu Xu led Xiao Yue along this remote alley, walked all the way to the end, and found a simple house, and the two went in directly.

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

After Liu Xu and Xiao Yue entered the house, they came out soon.

From Xu Bai's perspective, Xiao Yue's face was much more relaxed.

"It's okay, Xiao Yue, your illness has been cured by me." Liu Xu said with a smile.

Xiao Yue's face regained an innocent smile, and nodded vigorously: "Thank you Sister Liu."

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

"Yeah." Xiao Yue nodded obediently.

The two talked for a while and left the street.

Xu Bai did not leave with him, staring at the simple house, thinking.

Go in and out once, the problem is solved?

This matter is weird, especially this house.

He thought about it, and when he was sure that there was no one on the street, he came to the house.

There was a lock on the door, which was a common padlock. If you push the door with your hand, you can push it open a crack.

Xu Bai did not use his hand, but pulled out a ghost-head knife and pushed it open with the handle.

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

The furnishings inside were simple, but quite complete.

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

In the dim sunlight, there were several shadows swaying, and with the sunlight, the shadows appeared and disappeared.

There were three people, hanging on the beams.

- A middle-aged couple, Xiaoyue.

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

Three pairs of eyes were wide open, and their tongues were sticking out of their mouths, and they had no breath of life.

There were large patches of corpse spots on the skin, proving that they had been dead for a long time.

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

But why can he still see it?

Is it weird?

It's not that the weird ones are irrational and only know how to kill crazily, but why are they still setting up stalls on the street like living people?

Xu Bai couldn't figure it out. After all, he had only been in this circle for a short time.

Although he had killed many people in a short period of time, he was actually still a novice and didn't understand many theoretical things.

So when he saw this scene now, he couldn't understand the reason.

But one thing... Xiaoyue and her parents were 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 head knife tightly.

What feeling?

It's hard to explain.

Usually, Xiaoyue is innocent and keeps curiosity and innocence about everything around her.

Xiaoyue now is completely different. The face covered with corpse spots is terrifying.

Anyone who sees this will have a huge gap.

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

Xu Bai thinks he is a cruel person, but seeing this scene in front of him, he still feels uncomfortable.

After coming to this world, from Menghuzhai to Shengxian, he has experienced many battles, and each time he killed all the enemies, with a lot of blood on his hands.

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

Being in the dark, the more you yearn for light.

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

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

People all want to live. Who would commit suicide if nothing happened?

Standing in place, Xu Bai thought.

At this time, a sound of footsteps came from his ears, interrupting Xu Bai's thoughts.

Xu Bai looked at a house next to him, where the door was closed.

The true energy flowed in his body, he jumped high, landed on the roof, and hid his body with the roof.

A large group of people poured in from outside the alley, wearing the clothes of the government office.

The leaders were the county magistrate and Liu Xu, and Xiaoyue, who was led out by Liu Xu before, had disappeared.

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

Liu Xu nodded.

The yamen runners rushed in, opened the door, and then carried out three bodies covered with white cloth on stretchers.

Soon, the yamen runners carried the bodies away, and only Liu Xu and Magistrate Zhang were left in the alley.

"Mr. County Magistrate, I hope this matter will be handled impartially." Liu Xu said.

"Of course, I will take the best way." Magistrate Zhang answered casually.

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

"Most people in the academy have to take the imperial examination. When you take the imperial examination, you will understand everything." Magistrate Zhang said again.

In the Great Chu Kingdom, even women can take the imperial examination.

The emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom meant that regardless of gender, only talent is promoted.

Most of the people who studied in the academy did so in order to pass the imperial examinations, and only a very small number would stay in the academy.

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

"I know Qingyun Academy values ​​you. I also came from an academy. Although it is not Qingyun Academy, you can write a letter to your teacher about this matter. He will tell you everything." County Magistrate Zhang interrupted Liu Xu and didn'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 County Magistrate Zhang said to see what the situation was.

"Leave first. Anyway, I will announce this matter in two days, including the cause and effect and the corresponding punishment." County Magistrate Zhang added.

Having said this, Liu Xu has been thinking about County Magistrate Zhang's words.

The body has been carried away, and County Magistrate Zhang and Liu Xu have also left the alley.

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

He heard it clearly on the roof just now.

From the conversation between the two people, it can be heard that Xiaoyue's death has another hidden story.

Let's not talk about why Xiaoyue became that strange, the hidden story is worth exploring.

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

He planned to wait for another three days to see what they would announce.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai did not stay in the alley and left directly.

...

Liu Mansion.

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

She sat on a chair, her white palm supporting her chin, her elbow on the table, as if she was thinking about something, her eyes were dull.

It took a long time to come back to her senses, took out a piece of paper from the drawer, dipped a brush in ink, and wrote a letter.

After writing, she took out an 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. Liu Xu folded the letter, tied it to the pigeon's leg, and walked out the door.

"Puff, puff, puff..."

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

Liu Xu looked directly at the direction where the carrier pigeon flew away, holding her hands tightly.

After a long while, she let go of her hands and returned to the room.

Looking at the green smoke rising from the incense burner 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 to the ground.
