On this day, Chao Huan, who was about to continue taking a nap, was suddenly invited to the hall by a servant. She looked at the servant leading the way and guessed that Qixiu had something urgent to do with her.
The servant took her to the door of the hall and then retreated. Chao Huan walked in. Only Qixiu and Pei Ziyan were in the hall. They sat one high and one low, as if they were talking. When they saw Chao Huan coming, they stopped.
comminicate.
Chao Huan looked at the two of them, his brows twitching sharply, but his face still looked indifferent.
"What do you want from me, Lord Pavilion Master?"
We haven't seen each other for a few days, and Qixiu's face is a little tired. The continuous small things in Fuyue Pavilion make him busy without touching the ground. Obviously, such things have never happened before, but this time it suddenly broke out...
Qixiu only thought that it was because of the attack on him that made the people below him unstable, so he has been busy until today and has not had a good rest.
Compared with him, Pei Ziyan on the other side can be said to be brighter. Like Chao Huan, she is an idler, but recently Chao Huan will bask in the sun and read in the yard, but she has been staying in the room, her skin is white.
It's like jade.
Qi Xiu frowned, and when he saw Chao Huan, he subconsciously looked at Pei Ziyan, but the other party just drank tea calmly from the cup, without any hint of guilt.
Seeing this, Qixiu knew that the matter was irreversible. He looked at Chao Huan and sighed: "Actually, I have something to ask you for help."
What Qixiu was talking about was that something happened in a village near Fuliu City. The village chief asked the city lord for help, but the city lord had always been idle, so the matter was pushed to Qiexiu. But Qixiu had been too busy recently, and Pei Ziyan saw this.
She then recommended herself to go check it out, but her request was that Chao Huan should accompany her.
"Ziyan heard that Miss Zhu has great medical skills. I don't know how many casualties there will be when I go to the mortal village this time. I will also ask Miss Zhu to show off her skills." Pei Ziyan said cheerfully, as the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person with your hand.
, beauties are so kind to each other that few people can refuse.
"But I'm just a mortal." Chao Huan frowned, obviously refusing.
Pei Ziyan then said: "Don't worry, Miss Zhu, I will ensure that Miss Zhu is safe during this trip."
When she said this, Chao Huan couldn't say anything to refuse her. She looked to Qie Xiu for help, but Qixiu obviously couldn't help Pei Ziyan.
Qixiu tried to refuse, he didn't want Chao Huan to have too much to do with Pei Ziyan, but he didn't expect that Pei Ziyan would call Chao Huan on her own initiative. He had been with Pei Ziyan for many years, so he naturally knew that this person's character was always the same.
In this way, it is a certainty that Chao Huan and Pei Ziyan will go together.
Faced with Chao Huan's request for help, Qixiu could only say: "Well, I'm going to trouble Miss Zhu this time. After this happens, I will definitely compensate Miss Zhu."
Who wants your compensation? Chao Huan screamed in his heart. The biggest problem now is not whether she has any compensation, but that she doesn't have any medical skills at all.
She just relied on her half-baked medical skills to save people. Did she think those people didn't die quickly enough?
She learns poison skills!
No matter what Chao Huan was thinking, in the afternoon, she and Pei Ziyan went out together. The carriage pulled by the spirit beast slowly walked on the street. Chao Huan and Pei Ziyan sat in the carriage, relatively speechless.
It wasn't until the carriage left the city and was walking on a country road that Pei Ziyan spoke first.
"I have read the letter from the village chief..."
"Well, what's the specific situation?" Chao Huan asked pretending to be calm, hoping that there wouldn't be any injuries.
Pei Ziyan said that the village is called Qingji Village. It is fifty miles north of Fuliu City and is just at the very edge of Fuliu City's jurisdiction. It is also true that the situation there is not clear to Fuliu City. It is only based on the registration in previous years.
Judging from the situation, it can be regarded as a village with a large population.
According to the village chief, there is an evil spirit at work in the village, and dozens of people are missing now. However, the specific situation is not clearly stated. The person who wrote the letter has no education and just reluctantly explained his idea of asking for help. The rest still have to go to the village.
Look inside.
"Evil is causing trouble?" Chao Huan was a little surprised, but he didn't know what kind of evil was causing trouble.
"Yes, but we can only know the specific situation after going to see it. Isn't this just in case, so I invited Miss Zhu to go with me?" As she said that, Pei Ziyan showed her signature smile, and Chao Huan noticed that she was smiling.
She looked like a fox when she stood up, the kind of fox with nine tails that wanted to become a spirit. Perhaps it was because of this that she always felt that Pei Ziyan's smile was both beautiful and malicious.
However, this time we went to resolve the incident with Pei Ziyan. Although Chao Huan was very wary of her, thinking about some of the words Qixiu said to her before leaving, he somewhat let go of his grudge against Pei Ziyan.
Qixiu said that although Pei Ziyan has a bad reputation, she is dedicated to helping ordinary people. Perhaps it is due to her previous experiences. Even though she has a good status now, she still has a trace of compassion for ordinary people.
.
Chao Huan found it a bit unbelievable. Pei Ziyan's image was not good to her, but such a person would help ordinary people... It felt wrong no matter how much she thought about it, but this time Chao Huan was traveling with him, so she could see this.
Are people as good as Qixiu said?
When she left, she went to Lian Yunlan to pass on the news to Zhou Kong. On the one hand, it was to prevent her from revealing her secret, and on the other hand... she wanted to confirm something.
After a few words, neither of them spoke. Pei Ziyan seemed to be in a good mood, and Chao Huan picked up a book to relieve her boredom and started reading. One of them read the book and the other looked at the scenery, which was unusually harmonious.
The spirit beast pulled the cart strangely, and even though he was not used to taking care of Chao Huan's mortal body, it only took an hour to get to Qingji Village from Fuliu City. When he arrived, Pei Ziyan went to explore the nearby situation, except for one
Outside Qingji Village, there are not many villages nearby.
I opened the curtain and took a look at the village not far away. The village looked ordinary. It was not rich but it had enough food. Houses of various sizes were scattered here and there. At a glance, there were at least a hundred households.
Chao Huan suddenly said: "There aren't many people in this village. Why would you want to ask for help when more than ten people are missing?"
Pei Ziyan also thought of something when she heard her question. They watched from a distance for a moment. It was obviously broad daylight, but few people were walking around in the village. Everyone was in their own houses. The village was extremely quiet at the moment.
"Go and ask about the situation." Pei Ziyan said, and Chao Huan nodded. After the two got off the carriage, Pei Ziyan put away the spirit beast carriage with a wave of her hand.
What she took was not an ordinary storage bag, but a spirit animal tag that could hold spirit beasts. There was space inside, but it could allow spirit beasts to survive. Of course, the price was much more expensive than ordinary storage bags. Chao Huan also had one.
, but she didn’t have a spirit animal, so she just threw it in the corner of the storage bag to collect dust.
The two of them walked from the path to the village. When they reached the village gate, a large stone fell there. The stone was round and smooth and looked like it had been carefully taken care of. The three words "Qingji Village" were engraved on the stone.
Pei Ziyan said: "Let's go to the village chief first and ask him to understand the situation."
Chao Huan also wanted to see Pei Ziyan's methods, so he just nodded in agreement and followed him into the village.
Although no one was walking around outside, the villagers here were obviously always paying attention to the situation outside. As soon as they entered the village, Chao Huan and Pei Ziyan noticed that someone was watching them. The secretly looking at them was not malicious, it seemed.
It's just pure curiosity.
Chao Huan felt a little uncomfortable, but thinking that she was a mortal, she didn't react and followed Pei Ziyan calmly.
As the two were walking, they met a young man. The young man did not hide at home, but went to the fields with a hoe. He saw someone entering the village from a distance, and then hurried back.
"Who are you? What are you doing in our village?" The young man looked at the two of them warily, holding the hoe in his hand tightly, as if he would take action if they were bad guys.
I want to mention here that because Pei Ziyan’s appearance was so eye-catching, she disguised herself when she came here and turned into an ordinary and pretty woman. As for Chao Huan, she was not pretending, after all.
She now has the beautiful face of Zhu Shu.
Chao Huan said nothing and just watched Pei Ziyan's performance quietly.
Pei Ziyan looked at him, but she didn't look so tender. With a business-like attitude, she took out the simple letter of help from the village chief and said: "We are people sent by Fuliu City. We received the letter from your Qingji Village."
At the request of the village chief, we came to investigate the disappearance case here."
When the young man heard that he was here to investigate the disappearance case, his expression suddenly changed. Chao Huan looked at his expression and felt a little strange.
Hearing that they were here to help them, the young man was not happy, but showed a worried look. Was he worried about them?
The young man put down the hoe in his hand, looked at the two of them deeply, and sighed: "I understand, come with me, I will take you to see the village chief."
The two of them followed the young man as they walked deeper into the village. As Chao Huan walked, they discovered that the houses seemed to be better as they went inside. Outside the village were all thatched houses and mud-tile houses, but inside they were all brick houses.
Room is available.
On the way, the young man introduced himself and apologized for what had just happened.
"I'm sorry, the village has been a bit uneasy recently, and we are very nervous when outsiders suddenly come. By the way, my name is Liu Qin. If there is anything I can do to help, just ask."
Although the first meeting was not a good one, Liu Qin was upright and cheerful, and asked Pei Ziyan to chat with him more. Everything else was fine, but when it came to the disappearance case, she became silent.
Pei Ziyan saw something fishy, so she didn't ask any more questions and planned to go directly to the village chief to find out the situation.
After walking for a while, the two of them, led by Liu Qin, came to a blue brick house. This house was obviously better than the others, and it was obvious that the owner of the house had some money.
Liu Qin stepped forward, knocked on the door, and shouted inside: "Grandpa, village chief, people from the city are here, saying they are here to help investigate the disappearance."
A few seconds later, hurried footsteps sounded from behind the door, and someone opened the door. He was in his sixties or seventies, with gray hair and a wrinkled face, and looked kind-hearted.
This person was Liu Fangzheng, the head of Qingji Village. When he saw Liu Qin followed by two women he had never seen before, he immediately said with a smile: "I have seen these two girls. I dare to ask whether these two girls are from the city lord's faction."
Are you here to help our village?"
Seeing the two of them nodding in agreement and taking out the letter for help he had written and the token from the city lord, Liu Fangzheng smiled even deeper and quickly invited the two of them into the room. Liu Qin followed him in, and Liu Fangzheng didn't say anything.
Liu Fangzheng invited the two of them to the table and immediately asked his wife to bring tea and water. After working for a while, the three of them sat down at the table.
"The letter said that dozens of people are missing in Qingji Village. What are the specific circumstances?" Pei Ziyan still had a business-like attitude, which made Chao Huan look at her more.
Her attitude was cold, and Liu Fangzheng did not dare to say anything. Instead, he felt that this was how the people sent by the Lord of the City should be, and he answered Pei Ziyan's questions respectfully. This chapter has been completed!
