After the return of Ma Zunsheng

Chapter 42

There is a faint fragrance on Rong Yan's body, which is more refreshing than the wisteria flowers in this yard.

Liu Yuxiao's beating heart slowly calmed down, he knew what he was feeling.

He wanted to be peaceful and peaceful with this person around him forever.

He turned his head and looked at him, Rong Yan was also looking at him, the two looked at each other, Liu Yuxiao couldn't help but raised a hand to pat his arm around his neck, and smiled silently at him.

Rong Yan also smiled back.

At this moment, the two seem to be able to understand each other's mind without too many words. The noon sun is so warm, and the fragrance of flowers in the yard is so intoxicating.But both Rong Yan and Liu Yuxiao felt that all the beauty was due to the person staying by their side.

The place with you is the most beautiful scenery in the world.

The two embraced like this for a long time, until the butterfly flew around the wisteria and left again.Surrounded by Rong Yan, Liu Yuxiao unconsciously fell asleep.

Rong Yan looked at his fine eyelashes fluttering slightly in the air, he was sleeping soundly like a baby in swaddling, pure and innocent.

There was a warm current in Rong Yan's heart, he must not let go of such a beautiful person, no matter what he did, he would spend this life well with him.

Thinking of the [-] mortal hearts, there are still a few short, soon, still a little short, he is working hard, find a few more targets to attack, everything will be fast...

He slowly withdrew his hands from Liu Yuxiao's neck, turned around and covered him with the coat that had been covered before, turned and left.

-

When Liu Yuxiao woke up, the sun had already started to set. He opened his sleepy eyes and looked around. He was the only one, and Rong Yan was no longer in the yard at some point.

His clothes were still covering him.

Liu Yuxiao sat up, took Rong Yan's clothes in her hand, got up, looked around, and walked to her own room.

Unexpectedly, not long after he left, he saw Rong Yan coming towards him. He was holding a small casserole in his hand. Seeing Liu Yuxiao walking over, he said, "Are you awake? I made soup for you to drink right now."

Rong Yan saw that he was sleeping soundly before, so he thought about making some soup to nourish his body while he was sleeping. Liu Yuxiao couldn't eat greasy food, and Rong Yan felt that he was not nutritious when he was a vegetarian every day. He must be getting weaker and weaker, so he ordered the people below to buy a big crucian carp, and he went to Wang Po's house to make a piece of grass pot tofu.

So he went to the kitchen to make soup for him.

Liu Yuxiao looked at the soup pot in his hand, and walked over quickly, regardless of her weakness: "Xiaoyan, be careful, it's still steaming, be careful not to burn it."

"I'm fine, Yu Xiao, let's go back to the room, now the sun is about to set, there will be wind." Rong Yan can't let him stay outside, lest he catch the wind and cold, he can't bear it.

The two went back to the room together.

Rong Yan carefully placed the casserole on the table, and he lifted the lid to let the heat dissipate faster, otherwise Liu Yuxiao's mouth would be burned when he got out of the casserole.

As soon as the lid was removed, the room was filled with the fresh scent of crucian carp. Liu Yuxiao took a sip and boasted, "Xiaoyan, your craftsmanship is getting better and better. It smells so good."

Rong Yan smiled and said: "You like to drink, I will make it for you often in the future, and I will make sure you drink enough."

"No, I will never have enough of what Xiaoyan makes." Liu Yuxiao looked at him with a hoarse voice.

Rong Yan was stunned, and then smiled brighter: "If you dare to dislike it, I will show you my heart."

Liu Yuxiao went over to hold his hand, her eyes were solemn: "I won't make you sad."

Rong Yan was overjoyed, he glanced at the casserole and said, "I'll give you fish soup, you must be hungry, right?"

As he spoke, he picked up an enamel bowl and scooped up a spoonful of thick white fish soup. He fried the fish, added water and salt, cooked it for a while, added scallion, ginger and tofu, and finally sprinkled it with coriander. The fragrant smell wafted all over his nose .

Liu Yuxiao sat down and looked at the flowery porcelain bowl he brought over, took a spoonful with a small spoon, put it in her mouth and blew it carefully, and then drank it in one gulp. It had a strong fishy smell, and the saltiness was just right. Seasoned to make the soup extra delicious all night long.

Liu Yuxiao looked at him: "Xiaoyan, let's eat together."

Rong Yan nodded and sat down, the two sat around the log table

The room was quiet, the two of them drank the fish soup and looked up at each other from time to time and smiled.

Maybe this is how the years in the world are quiet and good. I don't need too many words, I can understand what is in your heart with just a look.

-

At night, Rong Yan tucked up the quilt for Liu Yuxiao, and he blew out the candles. Sleeping with lights at night is not good for sleep, Liu Yuxiao fell into a deep sleep, and Rong Yan reached out and stroked his cheek lightly. Zhang Lian may not be able to meet in the next life, he must take good care of it in this life.

out the door.

The gentleness on Rong Yan's face was all there, and the cold light in his long and narrow eyes was undisguised. At night, the air was full of gloom, which was most suitable for a thousand-year-old elf like him to go out for food.

The streets are empty, and it is too easy to hunt and kill humans now. Everyone seems to be afraid in their hearts. Now the number of people who come out at night is obviously much less than before. He glanced around, not letting go of any corner, and suddenly His ears move.

The fox's hearing is very sensitive, and there are rustling footsteps not far away.

The corners of his drooping lips finally couldn't help but rise, and tonight, he received the goods again.

After a while, a big drunk man turned out from the alley, and through the dark shadow on the ground, one could see that he was a tall and fat man, Rong Yan frowned in disgust, he smelled so strong of alcohol.

He hid behind an old tree, the thick trunk covered his figure, and his sharp eyes were like the eyes of an eagle, staring closely at the imminent prey.

The big man staggered and couldn't walk steadily, humming a little tune, cursing a few more words from time to time and then laughing, it was crazy.

A trace of disdain flashed in Rong Yan's emotionless eyes, this is an alcoholic.

But that's okay, drunk and unconscious will be more comfortable with what he's going to do next.

He walked over and patted the big man's shoulder from behind. The big man was hit by someone at the back of the road. He hummed and turned around. Seeing Rong Yan's face that turned all living beings upside down, his eyes widened immediately.

sky!What kind of monster is this?Looks too good-looking, right?

He is a retail investor, and usually lives by hunting wild animals. Two days ago, he somehow caught a yellow fox with smooth fluff. He killed it skillfully, peeled off its fur and sold it. Gave it to a merchant and got a large amount of silver.

Today, he took the money and went to the nearby casino to have a good night, and had a great time.

There are also beautiful men and women in the casino to accompany some gamblers who spend a lot of money.

But those men and women in the building are not as good as the one in front of him in terms of appearance and temperament. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is more beautiful than women.

His hazy drunkenness woke up three points at once, such a beautiful person, he couldn't let go easily.

He is in a good mood today, so we must tease him well.

He blew a whistle, squinted his eyes and grabbed Rong Yan's hand on his shoulder, the delicate touch made him tremble, a man's hand can be as soft as a woman's hand, he looked at Rong Yan's hand He squeezed his hand even tighter, and couldn't help hiccupping with an evil smile at the corner of his mouth, and squinted at him: "Young master, you are still alone on the street so late, you are not afraid... hiccup... Are you not afraid... of encountering monsters? Hiccup..."

Rong Yan let him hold it without moving, a smile appeared on his face when he heard what he said, and he shook his head slightly without saying a word.

Seeing that he didn't struggle, the big man thought he didn't dare, so he got a little more courageous, dropped the wine jar in the other hand, held Rong Yan with both hands, and put his face closer, all right. : "There are ghosts in the middle of the night, a young boy like you come out alone, be careful that the ghosts find you." He said while patting the back of Rong Yan's hand, behaving obscenely and obscenely.

The smile on the corner of Rong Yan's mouth became more obvious, and he raised his voice magnetically and blurred: "Oh? So?"

When the big man heard this soft and crisp voice, his whole body was even more angry. He made up his mind that he would not let the noodle boy in front of him tonight. After playing with so many women, he has never tasted the same kind of taste. It's not that he has never heard of the peach story, it's just that he hasn't met anyone he likes before, and he didn't expect that there would be such a man who is more charming than a woman in time.

He pinched Rong Yan's waist and smiled openly: "So... just let me escort you back... Or, you can go back to my house with me and get up and go home at dawn tomorrow morning... I promise to keep you safe... ..."

"Okay..." Rong Yan smiled alluringly.

As soon as the big man heard that he was happy, he put his arms around him, and moved his face towards his mouth.

In the next second, the big man's smile hung on the corner of his mouth, Rong Yan's pupils suddenly turned green, and a gloomy cold light burst out of his eyes without concealment.

He screamed in fright, reflexively let go of Rong Yan's waist, and took two steps back.

His eyes...are green?

These are not human eyes.

He watched Rong Yan babbling and babbling for a long time, unable to utter a single word. Rong Yan's eyes had turned from seductive to cold. His naked killing intent didn't show any restraint. He was a retail investor who had killed many animals. , He knows what a person's eyes look like when he kills someone.

The man in front of him looked weak, but the expression in his eyes did not match his appearance. He had never seen such oppressive eyes.

Even if he was being bold, now his heart is still chilling, he has woken up from the wine he drank before.

He could feel the tremendous pressure from the person in front of him, and his back was soaked in sweat unknowingly.

Rong Yan sneered: "Why, didn't you just say that you wanted to protect me? How do you look now - as if you are scared?"

After the last word fell, Rong Yan had already moved behind him, and whispered in his ear, but the soft words made the listeners feel terrified.

The big man didn't see how he moved at all, he only knew that in the blink of an eye, he was behind him.

He couldn't help shivering, and his face was a little distorted, but he was a person who lived by hunting after all, even if he wasn't hunting, he would always carry a knife with him just in case.At this moment, his hand quietly turned to his waist, where a very sharp dagger was hidden.

Rong Yan saw everything in his eyes, sneered, and wanted to deal with him with a tattered dagger?Humans are just stupid, selfish and arrogant.

In this case, he will play with him first, anyway, he will be dead tonight anyway.

The big man quickly drew out the dagger, and in a flash of cold light, he turned his waist extremely nimbly, and the pointed iron object slashed towards Rong Yan's handsome face, using too much force.

Rong Yan had expected such a move from him early in the morning, so he dodged his swift attack with just a slight step back when his toes touched the ground.

A flash of astonishment flashed in the big man's eyes when he missed the blow, and then withdrew his strength and stabbed at him again. After several back and forth fights, Rong Yan easily avoided it. Attacked, Rong Yan shook his head slightly, the contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth became clearer, it was really a useless move to delay time.

After going back and forth for a while, the big man became more and more anxious, because he realized that he could not beat the thin and weak young man in front of him, and he became more and more urgent. If he hits the ground, then the last unlucky one must be himself.

The big man yelled, and ran towards Rong Yan with all his strength, Rong Yan smiled: "Let everything end, I've been playing with you for too long."

-

Between Lightning and Flint.

The whole face of the big man was frozen in the light of night, Rong Yan flicked his long sleeves, and a green light flew out, the dagger in the big man's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and the whole person was thrown far away by a strong force, and fell to the ground. The wall next to him tumbled down again, a mouthful of old blood spurted out of his mouth, and he flinched and struggled weakly on the ground.

With a hoarse voice, he wanted to call for help, but at this moment he couldn't speak a word, he could only babble and rolled his eyes and looked at the person who looked like him walking in horror.

In the dark night, Rong Yan was dressed in white clothes and was extremely coquettish. With his long hair flying, he slowly walked over and watched the people on the ground spit out each word: "Do you know? I am the ghost you mentioned."

After speaking, he stretched out a hand and held a bloody beating red heart that pierced through his chest and held it in his hand.

The big man's terrified eyes just stayed there, unable to close any more, his mouth was wide open as if there was endless words to say.

The blood in the heart flowed down his arm, and soon his white gauze was dyed red, Rong Yan put his heart away, he flicked in the air, and a ray of light came out, all of him inside He looked at the collected hearts for a while, then smiled with satisfaction, there was still one heart left.

He only needs to kill one more person, and he can cure the weakening Liu Yuxiao, and they will live happily together for countless days and nights.

Rong Yan looked at those well-preserved hearts, and a bloodthirsty smile flashed on the corner of his mouth, he was willing to do anything for that day.

It is not a pity for this person to die. If he hadn't been here today and replaced another girl, someone else would have been killed by him. If he killed this kind of rubbish scum, he would kill others.

Rong Yan waved his hand, and he hid those hearts again. He took out the handkerchief and wiped his hands, then threw the handkerchief away. It's a pity that Liu Yuxiao asked someone to make this suit for him. When someone touched it, he felt sick in his heart.

Looking at the blood dripping continuously on the ground, thinking about the insolence of this person just now, he has no desire to suck at all. He doesn't want to suck blood from such a disgusting person.

Looking at his corpse, Rong Yan smiled strangely...

the next day.

A shocking event happened in Chenjiaqiao.

When a girl was washing clothes by the river, she found a dead body floating in the river. After soaking in the river water, the dead body was already swollen.

When Yu Ning and Su Yanzhi arrived, the officials were collecting the corpses.

Surrounded by people watching the excitement, pointing and discussing with each other, people's faces are full of regret and horror, but they still talk endlessly...

Su Yanzhi looked at the tragic corpse and said, "I knew he would make a move."

The one who died was a stout man. Only faint bloodstains could be discerned on his clothes. After soaking in water for a long time, the clothes on his body were already discolored. This man was the big man who was drunk last night.

Yu Ning squeezed his nose and used the other hand to clear the air in front of him. The corpse looked so disgusting that he was about to vomit. This person was really too cruel.

A row of people from the government were there. The case of the person who just died in the town a few days ago had not been closed yet, and now another one came. They were really unlucky.

The leisurely days in the yamen are gone forever...

Su Yanzhi looked at the corpse for a while, then whispered to Yu Ning: "The modus operandi is the same as last time. His heart was dug out and a spell was cast. These officials cannot see it."

Yu Ning was puzzled: "Why does he care? To eat?"

Thinking of Yu Ning made chicken skin all over his body, it was so disgusting, he couldn't even eat a demon, it was too bloody.

"Should we go up and remind those officials, and tell them that the people who were killed didn't have hearts?" Yu Ning suggested.

"That's what I mean, but we'd better not expose ourselves in front of so many people." Su Yanzhi nodded in agreement with his words, but he didn't want to expose himself too early.

"So—" Yu Ning smiled at him.

and so--

night.

The house of the official master.

The magistrate dismissed the butler and was about to turn off the lights and go to bed. In the past two days, the Chen family bridge has been unsteady and there have been deaths. The key is still a strange case that cannot be solved.

If this kind of thing happened more often, I guess he would stop wearing the black hat on his head, pack up and go back to his hometown to farm.

He went to the bedside and was about to take off his official robe, but a hand behind him stretched out on his shoulder. The palm that suddenly stretched out in the darkness almost didn't scare the magistrate to death. He was so shocked that his eyes were like The steamed stuffed bun was so big, I was so frightened that I yelled twice.

Then he turned around immediately. The key is that he didn't see anyone when he turned around. This reminded him of the dead body that was fished up from the river today. His whole body was shaking like a sieve, haunted?

He stood there with only his eyeballs looking up, down, left, and right, and he couldn't hear what he wanted to say intermittently from his mouth.

Suddenly the door of the window was blown open by a gust of wind, Chi La thought, the prefect was startled, and there seemed to be two people in the room.

No, it's not a person, it's - impermanence?

Two people, one black and one white, were surrounded by misty smoke. Their heads were dressed in the black and white clothes of hell guards, especially the white face and red lips. I am not good at doing things... I beg you to punish..."

Yu Ning looked at it and wanted to laugh. He bought two masks with Su Yanzhi, and each of them put on one. Su Yanzhi didn't want to expose himself.If he went to the magistrate in an open and honest manner, he would be interrogated and perhaps even cause a whole lot of trouble.

"Prefect, are you convicted?" Yu Ning asked solemnly, holding back a smile while wearing a mask.

"Convicted, guilty... the next official, guilty..." The magistrate kowtowed like garlic, and couldn't help answering.

"What crime do you know?" Su Yanzhi continued to ask.

"The lower officials are not good at handling affairs, and the management is not good enough, so that murders happen one after another in the town... It's all the fault of the lower officials." The magistrate hastily apologized.

"Wrong, you didn't do the murder, you couldn't stop the murderer, it's not your fault." Su Yanzhi said seriously.

then--

"But you plan to delay the time and close the case hastily. It's your problem if you don't handle it impartially." Su Yanzhi and Yu Ning only need to find out so lightly that the magistrate couldn't handle the case with so many people lost here before. It was procrastinated and finally turned into a headless case, and it was closed hastily, without reporting or providing compensation to the families who lost their population.

Is it too irresponsible for the local parents to do this.

In this way, come over and give him a little tap.

When the magistrate heard that all the little things he was thinking in his heart had been understood by others, he panicked, knelt there and kowtowed, fighting: "Yes, yes... the lower official knows his mistake... the lower official knows his mistake... it's just... "

He suddenly stopped, raised his head to glance at the person in front of him, and quickly lowered his eyes: "It's just that I have tried my best to investigate, but I really have no clue... I ask the two officers for advice..."

Yu Ning and Su Yanzhi looked at each other silently and smiled when they heard the words.

Exactly—

"I passed by here, just happened to bump into it, and was about to point you..."

-

Out of the magistrate's house.

Yu Ning shook the mask on his head left and right, smiled and said, "It's really interesting."

The magistrate was frightened just now, and really regarded them as black and white.

The two threatened that if he didn't investigate the case properly, they would take him to the underworld to meet Emperor Tianqi, and the magistrate would nod and do everything he heard.

Use the power of the government to get them involved to find the culprit and they will guide the layout from the side. As long as this person still needs people's hearts, they will definitely meet face to face next time.

"Will the other party be fooled by our method?" Yu Ning looked at Su Yanzhi.

"Try it..." The other party continued to worry, and should come again.

It won't be long before they should be able to find out what's going on.

Two days later...

The magistrate posted a notice, declaring that the person who fell into the water died of drunkenness while going out late at night.

When Rong Yan saw this notice, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably, and his eyes showed contempt. These magistrates are a bunch of idiots. He killed so many people, but none of them were caught. Push things over.

However, this made him more comfortable in committing crimes. If the government insisted and stepped up his guard, it would take a lot of work for him to kill people. It was also because of the power of the government that he could get five hundred The heart gathers so quickly.

There is only one left now, today, he will gather all the hearts, and he will practice the elixir as soon as possible, even if Liu Yuxiao's body is carefully seasoned by him, it will not last long without the elixir, even if there was an incense in the evening last night He still tossed and turned in night sweats.

After Rong Yan made up his mind, he stopped looking at the list and the noisy crowd, and left in hiding.
