The death of this family of three was extremely tragic. The body of the middle-aged man who looked like the father was almost turned into a sieve, the mother's face was painted on, and the underage son's stomach was cut open, and his intestines and internal organs were spilled on the floor.
The girl who is still alive today is covered in blood, her cheeks and hair dripping.
She looked at Mo You with surprise and confusion, but there was no fear or panic.
She and Mo You looked at each other for a while and then continued what they were doing.
The dagger in her hand mercilessly penetrated the body that was almost turned into rotten flesh, once, twice...
She struck quickly and hatefully, and didn't care about the existence of Mo You and Fuyao at all, just doing this cruel thing by herself.
Mo You didn't stop her either. After all, everyone had been killed, so it was useless to stop her at this time.
Moreover, the world of cultivation is not a charitable place. People die in an endless stream every day. Mo You has no interest in caring about the fighting and killing among the monks.
So looking at the land under her feet, Mo You planned to avoid the place soaked in blood and see if there was any nearby city nearby. She planned to live there for a while.
Mo You didn't have any other reaction, and the little girl didn't have any other reaction either. They both seemed to have encountered something ordinary.
Fuyao's 'random' teleportation is quite good, at least there is a city nearby.
This city has no characteristics, it is just an ordinary cultivation city, and there are no specialties that attract monks, so the environment in this city is quite depressed.
After paying the entrance fee, Mo You took a general tour of the city.
There are not many monks settled in this city, and the size of the cultivation family is average. Mo You felt the powerful aura in the city, which was only at the level of the Golden Core stage.
But there was one thing that surprised Mo You, and that was that the mortal area in the city was managed very well.
Perhaps because of the small number of monks, the end of this city is placed on mortals. The huge mortal population base is very impressive, and the area occupied by mortals is also very large.
But when Mo You wanted to go to the mortal area for a walk, he was stopped by the guards of the City Lord's Mansion!
Mo You was just confused at first, but then he didn't force his way in. Instead, he left calmly and found an inn in the city to stay.
However, she did not give up on matters in the mortal realm.
Compared to monks, Mo You pays more attention to mortals.
This kind of intercepted behavior was so strange. She wanted to go to the mortal area and see what was going on in this city!
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion are very strict in guarding the mortal area, and they are also very vigilant.
But this is not a problem for Mo You. Mo You can easily pass through these guards and enter the mortal area.
At midnight, Mo You and Fuyao sneaked into the mortal area quietly.
Originally, Mo You thought that with such a 'heavy force' guarding, the mortals here must be different.
While waiting during the day, Mo You had almost gone through all the sufferings he could think of in his mind, and was even ready to see purgatory on earth.
But no.
Ordinary people lived a good life, eating and drinking when they should. When it got dark, they went home to rest. Ordinary people were reluctant to pay for lighting lamps, so they all went to bed early and didn't see anything wrong.
Even Mo You, who had white sails hung at the door and someone in the family had died, went over to take a look.
There were indeed deaths in these homes, but most of them were the elderly and sick children, and the only three young people died of illness.
There is nothing unusual. This seems to be just an area where ordinary mortals live. There are no so-called human tragedies and people are living a good life!
As for Mo You, after confirming the result, she looked like a patient with persecution paranoia. She checked the side carefully again. She would rather believe that she had left something behind and didn't find it, rather than admit it.
It's just an ordinary place where mortals live.
Even after she wandered here for most of the night, she still couldn't find anything different.
Could it be that she felt wrong?
Mo You hesitated for a moment, but in the end he did not break into a mortal's home, wake him up, and then question him carefully.
Just like that, the sky turned white, and Mo You returned to the inn he rented. After sitting down and thinking about it, he decided to wait for the daylight to go to Zuixian Tower to have a look.
Zuixian Tower is well-informed and is a local snake. She thought that if there was really something fishy in this city, she should be able to get the answer from Zuixian Tower.
Mo You thought so, but when she actually entered Zuixian Tower, Mo You didn't get the answer she wanted.
Even if she spends money to buy information from Zuixian Tower, the information Zuixian Tower can give is that this is a peaceful city that cultivates immortals. The city lord attaches great importance to mortals and there is nothing unusual about it.
Originally, Mo You should have calmed down since the matter had come to this, and no longer had to investigate and find out why.
But strangely, Mo You always felt that his heart was sinking, especially after getting the information about Zuixian Tower, this sinking feeling reached its peak!
Mo You subconsciously looked out the window.
Outside the window of Zuixian Tower is the largest street in the city. Even if there are not many monks in the city, you can still see a lot of pedestrians looking down from here.
Mo You's casual glance made her see an 'acquaintance'.
The little girl covered in blood that Mo You saw yesterday was walking calmly on the crowded street.
Different from the blood-soaked look yesterday, she must have been washed and changed into white washed clothes. However, there are some stains that cannot be washed away on the clothes. If you look carefully, you can still see them.
The stains look a bit like blood stains after settling.
After Mo You's eyes followed the little girl for a while, the little girl noticed something and turned back to look up, and happened to meet Mo You's eyes.
The little girl's expression seemed to be more lively, and her facial expression also became a bit happy.
After seeing Mo You, she quickly recognized Mo You, so she even gave Mo You a kinder smile as a greeting.
The view from the window was only so wide, and after smiling, the little girl was out of Mo You's sight.
Mo You had no reaction to this, and she just regarded it as normal.
But when she met this little girl for the third time, even Mo You couldn't help but lament how small this world was.
The third time he met this girl was at night. In the end, Mo You couldn't hold it back and took advantage of the moonlight to sneak into the area where mortals lived again.
However, what Mo You didn't expect was that she was not the only one who also slipped in, but also the little girl he saw during the day.
This little girl was only in the Qi refining stage, so when Mo You calmed down, she couldn't even notice her presence.
The little girl was walking on the streets of the Mortal District, and she was much brighter and brighter than Mo You. She even held a lantern in her hand.
Mo You followed the little girl and followed her all the way to a large courtyard.
The little girl didn't even knock on the door, she just jumped into the courtyard.
After Mo You got closer, he saw that the plaque in the courtyard had the three characters "nursing hall" written on it.
What is that little girl doing here?
Mo You followed her into the yard. At this time, the little girl had disappeared. However, with Mo You's perception, she quickly found the whereabouts of the little girl.
In this large yard with many houses, there is a bright spot that stands out.
Mo You followed the light and walked forward. Then the light entered a group of houses, and then the house became brighter.
Mo You followed. She originally thought this house was where the little girl lived, but when she got closer, she realized that there were actually many children living in this house.
These children are not very old, the oldest is six or seven years old, and the youngest is still in his infancy.
These children were very excited to see the little girl. Even if they tried to lower their voices, they still gave people a sense of chirping joy.
The little girl was also very happy now, but the way she expressed her happiness was not by chirping, but by taking things out of her storage bag.
The first thing to take out were some preserved meats. The children divided them excitedly, and then stuffed them into their mouths with great treasure, as if they were enjoying themselves.
After the children had eaten, the little girl started to take out other things.
From piles of children's clothes to food that could be stored, the empty space in the hut was soon filled.
These children were not sleeping now. After finishing their snacks, they began to work hard to hide the food and clothing.
The little girl saw the children busy chattering and laughed too, but she didn't stay long. After putting down her things, she went to another room with a lantern.
The little girl's arrival was noticed by children in other rooms, so when the little girl entered other rooms, these children looked at her eagerly, and then whispered in low voices.
The little girl left snacks, food and clothes in turn, and walked past each house. Mo You followed the little girl and watched the whole process.
The little girl's storage bag contained a lot of things, but there were also many houses here. The little girl entered a dozen houses in a row, and the contents of the storage bag were all divided.
The little girl who finished her portion didn't stay here long, so she left with a lantern and quickly disappeared into the night.
Mo You watched the little girl's light disappear, then hesitated for a moment, but did not follow, but explored the nursery first.
The last time Mo You came here, he noticed this nursery. The reason was for no other reason than that the nursery was quite big.
However, the courtyard it is located in is large and there are many houses inside.
Mo You didn't think much about it at that time and just passed by.
But now she came in and took a closer look and found some violations, but they seemed to be natural.
More than 80% of the children in this nursery are girls, and although these girls tend to be thin and have bad complexions, they are all relatively delicate in appearance, and some of them can even be said to be beautiful.
This is very strange!
Mo You is too knowledgeable, so when she has doubts, she can quickly find the answer.
In fact, these are not difficult to guess. As long as you carefully observe the faces of these girls, you can find that the faces of these girls have been disturbed.
Because the age of the disturbed girl was young and there were not many places to move, this abnormality disappeared as the girl grew older.
But some clues can still be seen on the faces of infants and young children.
In other words, this nursery is deliberately cultivating some good-looking girls!
At this moment, a series of crazy things flashed through Mo You's mind, and she wanted to find a child several times to ask them what kind of life they were living and whether someone was persecuting them.
But in the end, Mo You didn't do that and decided to wait.
After all, she is not crazy after all. This city is too peaceful, and the area where mortals live is also very peaceful. Although the faces of the children in the orphanage have been slightly adjusted, they look like a group of ordinary orphans who have not received any special treatment.
During the course, I didn’t take any random medicines, and I didn’t receive any careful maintenance.
They grew up like ordinary orphans. The resources in the orphanage could at best ensure that they would not starve to death and that they would have a place to stay at night, nothing more.
It's normal here, so she can't destroy this normality just because of her doubts!
But in the end, Mo You didn't leave. She planned to get to know this nursery. She felt that there was something inconsistent here from beginning to end!
Just one day was not enough for Mo You to see anything.
Although there are a lot of girls in this nursery, most of the people who abandon their children usually abandon girls. Although there are a lot of strange people in this nursery, it can still be said to be normal.
Mo You stayed in the nursery in the mortal area for a whole day. Not only did he see how these girls worked hard to live, but he also saw how some grown-up girls got married.
It was a coincidence that Mo You came today. There were more than a dozen grown-up girls getting married today. The nursery was quite generous to the girls who got married. In addition to their own changes of clothes, shoes, socks and bedding, the nursery would give each girl
Five taels of dowry silver.
Although there is no other dowry, a dowry of five taels of silver is considered a relatively generous dowry in a mortal family.
Therefore, when these married girls look back with tears in their eyes, you can see their reluctance and gratitude.
The looks on these girls' faces didn't seem to be fake. If the Heyyingtang was really not a good place, these outgoing girls wouldn't have such a reaction.
Looking at the managers of the nursery, they don't look like bad people either.
These stewards are all monks. After listening to the conversation, Mo You can tell that these stewards are low-level monks from the city lord's mansion, and they will be stewards here on a rotating basis.
In other words, strictly speaking, this nursery should be regarded as the property of the city lord.
Thinking about the public-owned nursery, it seems that Mo You really has overthought it...
But just when Mo You was about to leave, she saw several women running toward the nursery with babies in their arms, talking and laughing.
Because of this unexpected incident, Mo You did not leave, but watched them carrying their children into the door of the nursery while talking and laughing, and then found a very familiar house.
There is an older nanny in this room. Unlike other stewards, this nanny is a mortal.
The women naturally handed over the children to the nanny. The nanny took the children without looking at them. She took out the coins and counted them. Each woman got two taels of silver.
