Yuan Ye's ears moved, and he heard a sound coming from the village. Almost at the same time, Qin Shuang also opened his eyes, raised his hand and patted Qin Yunxia's face gently, and Qin Yunxia suddenly woke up.
"Miss, what's wrong? What's wrong?"
Then he saw Qin Shuang and Yuan Ye, and his face turned red with embarrassment. Knowing that instead of helping the princess, he had become a burden, he whispered:
"Miss, I'm sorry!"
Qin Shuang patted her on the shoulder and said softly: "After more experience, you won't be afraid anymore! Yuan Ye, let's go out and have a look."
Looking at the backs of Qin Shuang and Yuan Ye walking out of the door, Qin Yunxia was stunned for a moment. In her impression, the seventh princess didn't have much experience. Except in the royal capital, that is, in Tianqin City and Tianqin Town, how come the Seventh Princess is not afraid
He woke up from his daze, looked at the memorial tablets in the ancestral hall, trembled, and chased Qin Shuang and Yuan Ye in three steps at a time.
The sun has illuminated the village, and it is no longer as eerie as last night. Moreover, Qin Shuang also saw people appearing in the village in his field of vision, and those people also saw Qin Shuang and the three of them at this time, with fear in their eyes, and they were so scared that they could not move.
Qin Shuang sighed and reached out to stop Yuan Ye who was about to step forward. After all, Yuan Ye's image was much more powerful and not as delicate as Qin Shuang's. Especially the moon-white Confucian shirt she wore gave people a sense of trust. Qin Shuang walked slowly to an old man, raised his hands and saluted:
"Old man, students are polite."
Seeing that Qin Shuang was so delicate and polite, the old man finally regained his mobility, but his voice was still a little trembling and he said:
"The little old man has seen the young master!"
Seeing that the old man could talk to her, Qin Shuang's heart finally relaxed. If these people were so scared that they ran back to the house and closed the door, Qin Shuang really didn't know what to do. You can't just break in!
"Old man, I am a student going to Lucheng Confucian Academy. He is my escort, and that is my book boy. We came to your village last night and wanted to stay overnight. Why didn't you open the door for us? And someone died suddenly last night. How is this going?"
At the mention of the dead, a look of fear immediately appeared on the old man's face.
"Female Young Master, you'd better leave as soon as possible. This village is not peaceful now, and there are evil spirits who specialize in poaching people's hearts. Eleven people in our village have had their hearts taken away. Wuwuwu..."
At this point, the old man started crying.
"Woooooooo..."
As soon as he cried, everyone around him began to cry, and villagers who were very scared just now also walked out of the house, crying "woo woo".
Qin Shuang looked around and saw that every villager had extremely haggard looks on their faces and fear in their eyes. It can be seen that they have not slept well for several days. Then he asked softly:
"Old man, because these five people had their hearts ripped out at night, that's why you don't dare to come out or open the door for us at night?"
"Yes, wuwuwu..."
"Everyone's heart was ripped out?"
"Yes, wuwuwu..."
"Who did it? Do you know?"
"I don't know, wuwuwu..."
"I found that the door of the deceased person's room was opened from the inside last night. Do you know the reason?"
As soon as Qin Shuang finished speaking, the old man immediately stopped crying. Extreme fear was released in his eyes. The crying around him also stopped. Every pair of eyes was releasing fear, even though Qin Shuang was surrounded by hundreds of terrified people. Staring at him, there was also a creepy feeling, and Qin Yunxia nervously grabbed Yuan Ye's arm beside her.
"I don't... know... the way!" The old man spat out three words with difficulty.
"It's a ghost! It must be a ghost!"
Suddenly a shrill voice came from the right side of Qin Shuang. Qin Shuang suddenly turned around and saw an old lady with wrinkles in the crowd shouting shrilly, with a look of collapse on her face. . Upon hearing the old lady's shrill cry, everyone in the village had a look of extreme fear on their faces, and their bodies were trembling.
"Wow… "
There was a child who couldn't stand the atmosphere and cried loudly, and then some other children started crying.
Qin Shuang frowned deeply. From the old man's words, she only learned that this incident happened in the past few days. Nothing like this had happened before, and she found nothing else.
She once observed that the wound on the chest of the dead body was not a wound left by a wild beast at all, but was cut open and dug out by a knife. But the door was opened from the inside, which didn't make sense at all.
"Old man, who were the first few people who died? For example, their gender and age?"
"They are all young and strong men!"
Qin Shuang frowned and looked at Yuan Ye, both of them's eyes flickering. However, neither of them continued the topic, and Qin Shuang asked again:
"Didn't you report it to the official?"
"Reported!" The old man continued to sob and said: "The government came, it was three warrior adults, but those three warrior adults were also killed overnight, and their hearts were also dug out. We sent people again the day before yesterday I went to report to the official, but the person who went there hasn’t come back yet.”
"Where do you go to report to the official?"
"Baishui City! It's two days' journey from us. Someone from the government should be here tomorrow."
Qin Shuang turned to look at Yuan Ye and said, "Do you have any other questions?"
Yuan Ye shook his head, and Qin Shuang said: "Old man, we will still stay in the ancestral hall tonight to see what is causing trouble."
The old man's eyes lit up and he thanked Qin Shuang repeatedly. Qin Shuang supported the old man and said:
"Old man, let's go around first and see if we can find anything. Could you please get us some food?"
"Ok, Ok!"
"Get us some more water, we want to wash up."
"I'll arrange for you to wash up at the villagers' houses! I'll let them boil water right now."
"Thank you, old man!"
"Don't dare to take it, don't take it!"
"And feed our horse!" After saying that, Qin Shuang took out a piece of silver and put it in the old man's hand. As soon as the old man saw the piece of silver, he hurriedly declined:
"no, I'm fine!"
Qin Shuang waved her hands, then looked at Yuan Ye and Qin Yunxia and said, "Let's go around the village and search."
"Yes, miss!"
Seeing Qin Shuang and the others leaving, and looking at the ingot of silver in his hand, the old man immediately shouted to the villagers:
"Er Gouzi, go feed the nobleman's horse. Zhang Lao Er and Fourth Lao are going to boil water. Old lady, go home and prepare meals..."
