Year of Herbs

Hua Rongyue ran towards West Street, West Street refers to the West Street of Shiba Pavilion, Hua Rongyue was surprised to find that the place was far from where Wu painter lived. not far.

But now is not the time to be surprised, it is obviously unrealistic for her to knock on the door from house to house, so it is better to directly ask people who are familiar with this area. Hua Rongyue turned around and ran directly towards Wu painter's shop.

She slammed the door and went in, startling Wu painter.

"It's you, what are you doing today?" Wu painter asked after being stunned for a while.

"Excuse me, do you know where the new man and woman who moved here live?" Hua Rongyue asked panting.

"Ah...they, they should go into the alley again." Wu painter pointed Hua Rongyue a way.

Hua Rongyue was not in the mood to catch up with Wu painter, and after getting the specific location, she rushed over without stopping, leaving Wu painter alone sitting in his shop, holding a Brush sketch drawing.

After a while, he suddenly smiled.

"It seems...a little bit different from what it looked like last time."

Hua Rongyue feels that her current behavior is indeed a bit silly, although this should be a very normal behavior in her opinion, but thinking about it now is indeed a bit beyond the current era.

It is the unspoken rule that everyone follows. If you don’t follow it, I am afraid that you will be regarded as a fool. Hua Rongyue is actually not a person who is bold enough to challenge the unspoken rules. She is still very important.

Moreover, Hua Rongyue had done an evaluation before coming, and she felt that the lunatic man in the couple should... be unable to beat her.

Well, after all, Yi Linglong is the number one madman in the world. She is also a teacher of Yi Linglong.

With this mentality, Hua Rongyue went straight to the room, the door was locked, and the inside looked dead from the outside. Messy fence wall.

Hua Rongyue knocked on the door twice and found that no one answered, she kicked the door decisively and walked in. When she entered, a pungent smell hit her face.

She still walked into the room, and the first scene she saw after entering was a cold corpse.

Hua Rongyue frowned.

She looked around the room, looking at the only belongings left in this dilapidated and cramped room, walked to a small wardrobe, and shouted to the back, "Come out. "

…

Wu Ci's conscience has been very uneasy since he said the wrong thing just now. Although it wasn't his intention, it still felt like a thorn in his heart.

People say that you can't tell the truth in front of a bald man? Although the meanings of the two are somewhat different, the glance Hua Rongyue looked at him before leaving made him feel a little panicked.

Wu Ci had always heard that Hua Rongyue was serious and careful, and it was easy to be truthful. He had never had a big concept before, but this time he really experienced it. He could clearly see that Hua Rongyue was really serious this time, and it was the kind that even nine cows couldn't pull back.

Seriously on this sort of thing... oops. Wu Ci felt that he had a headache.

Although he is not interested in the matter of mixing with the Songshan faction, he is still a little conscientious about the matter of Hua Rongyue running over by himself. He always feels that if he did not say that at the time, the other party would Don't just run away without saying a word.

Before leaving, the other party stopped to look at him, and the emotion in his eyes was obviously stunned.

It was also after saying that, Wu Ci himself suddenly realized - yes, the person in front of him is indeed a lunatic. Even if he looks like a normal person, he is still a lunatic.

Wu Ci tangled here for a long time, and finally walked in the direction of West Street. He felt that it was useless to follow the past, and he followed it honestly. , and he was a little inexplicable about his actions.

—Go and see, after all, the other party is a person who is obsessed with evil, what if something happens in the middle.

Wu Ci comforted herself like this in her heart.

…Hua Rongyue looked at the girl hiding behind the cabinet with a panicked expression on her face, and then looked at her body as if it was shaking non-stop, then looked at the girl lying down The corpse on the ground.

It is a man with a bright red tear mole under the corner of his eye.

...So is it the girl who killed the man?

Hua Rongyue thought about this idea for a second, but then she dismissed the idea after seeing the girl's delicate and frail appearance.

Hide back.

Hua Rongyue could only hold her with both hands, while pulling her out, she said carefully, "It's okay, don't be afraid, the mole on my face is not red, don't be afraid."

This reason, which she usually ignores, actually came in handy at this moment, Hua Rongyue felt that it was really unpredictable.

Probably Hua Rongyue's non-aggressive appearance helped, anyway, the girl finally followed her out, Hua Rongyue pulled the man's body into another room, although in front of her I don't quite understand this scene, but it's better not to let the girl see this scene again. The girl's emotions are about to collapse. After watching this, she might be able to fall in love with the aborigines of Shiba Pavilion immediately.

When carrying the corpse, Hua Rongyue saw the scar on the man's neck, and then saw the blood on the ground, she froze for a moment, her eyes circled around the girl and the man a few times, Finally, the body was dragged aside.

So when Wu Ci finally came to the door, he looked at the open door a little blankly, and heard the cry of a woman in the room, and hurried in, but only I saw Hua Rongyue sitting next to a crying girl.

Wu Ci was taken aback for a moment, he thought that the woman was still alive?

He looked at Hua Rongyue again, he was sitting next to the woman, with his head down, his eyes looking straight ahead, as if he was slightly dazed, and he didn't know he was thinking something.

Although the girl looks a little embarrassed, she is still very beautiful and has a good temperament. She also has a thin layer of thin calluses on her hands that came out of practicing swords. It should be the Songshan School Girl.

Wu Ci didn't understand why she was still alive, and why she was crying like this, he wanted to ask Hua Rongyue, but in fact he was still a little embarrassed about facing Hua Rongyue, so he Just talk to the girl. Fortunately, Hua Rongyue has been sitting on the side since the very beginning, not even talking to him, even he didn't respond to his arrival.

This kind of reaction was actually a bit strange, but Wu Ci didn't think much about it at the time.

His nose also caught the strange smell in the house, so he followed the smell slowly to a room next door, and saw a bulge covered with a cloth in the center of the room, Wu Ci walked over and opened it, and was shocked.

He put the cloth back again, thinking that this is... Hua Rongyue's hand? Did he just do it when he came here?

No, wait, no, if people just died, they wouldn't be as stiff as they just saw...

He lowered his head to look for a while, and slowly, like Hua Rongyue just now, found the scar on the man's neck, and also found the dead hand in his hand. dead knife.

He...should have committed suicide.

Hua Rongyue's brain has been muddy since the beginning. It seems that there is a voice chattering in her head. She is not new to this kind of situation. This kind of voice is always accompanied by endless hallucinations, Hua Rongyue can only keep persuading the voice in his head to stop making noise and be quiet.

Although I am not sure if the picture I just saw stimulated the voice in my head, Hua Rongyue kept her head down, she was restraining her emotions, afraid that she would suddenly lose control.

Wu Ci walked out of the room in a daze and at a loss. He looked at Hua Rongyue who was sitting there, and suddenly realized that something was wrong with him, because he saw His hand seemed to twitch, and it sounded like an alarm in his mind.

He didn't care that he felt embarrassed talking to the other party just now, so he walked over and asked, "What, what's wrong?"

A day ago, if he was so close to a madman with his bare hands, Wu Ci must have thought it was madness.

Hua Rongyue seemed to wake up from a dream after being touched by him, her body shook violently, and then she looked up at Wu Ci, at that moment, Wu Ci He almost felt like he saw a flash of red in the other person's eyes.

Wu Ci suddenly squeezed Hua Rongyue's shoulder, and it hurt her, and she suddenly escaped from all kinds of chaotic illusions. The moment she escaped, He seemed to be sweating all over.

Fortunately... Hua Rongyue also sighed in relief for the rest of her life.

She leaned against the wall on one side, feeling a little groggy, and could only listen to the conversation of the two people next to her.

Wu Ci seemed to be very careful to ask the girl, "The man in the back room...is that the one who ran out with you? He...did he commit suicide?"

After being silent for a while, the girl said in a hoarse voice, "Yes."

Hua Rongyue heard the voice in her ear and seemed to be about to get out again and forcibly pressed it back. She suddenly stood up and ran out of the room. Wu Ci shouted from behind, "Hey, where are you going?"

But Hua Rongyue is too fast.

When he opened the door, there was no one outside.
