Village Chief Yin kicked everyone out, leaving only two strong men close to him to help.
Everyone didn't leave immediately when they got outside. They looked at each other but didn't speak. The atmosphere was a little heavy for a while.
Sister-in-law Tian's legs were so weak that she couldn't stand, so she fell down in the snow. The people next to her helped her up. She continued to talk vividly about Jin's transformation into a ghost and killed people, and also talked about the previous time she bumped into a ghost.
Yun Qi hit Lu Anran on the head with the handle of the fan, "Are you really scared?"
Lu Anran raised her eyes and looked at him, "Do you think there is a little too much water in the room?"
"It's more than just water." Yunqi leaned on the tree trunk next to him, brushing off his sleeves with the snow falling, "What did you see?"
Lu Anran lowered his eyes: "There are no signs of struggle, at least on the surface it seems so."
"Oh." Yunqi bent the back of his hand back to rest on his chin, and said lazily: "You are said to be fat and you start breathing. You really think you are a fraud."
"What?" Lu Anran shook his head, "I went to the royal capital to study medicine."
Yunqi looked at Lu Anran's hooded eyes, which seemed to have been washed by snow and water, clear and sharp, and always calm, as if nothing could stir up ripples inside.
"Is there any difference between studying medicine for living people and practicing medicine for dead people?"
Lu Anran met his eyes calmly and said, "It is a lowly position in this dynasty to be a liar."
"Miss Lu is indeed noble."
"You don't have to say that to me." Lu Anran retorted: "If the Crown Prince regards everyone in the world as equal, why not give up his status as Crown Prince and become a commoner."
Yun Qi put down his hand, slowly straightened up, his eyes turned dark as he stared at Lu Anran, and suddenly he raised the corner of his mouth with a slightly cold smile: "Your medical skills are not half as good as your mouth?"
Lu Anran stopped talking, and Village Chief Yin came out next to him and was asking Wei.
Mrs. Wei was really frightened, her hair was slightly messy, and her clothes were splattered with a large black stain, probably because the decoction was spilled on her body.
"I delivered medicine to Tianxiang early in the morning. When I came in..." Ms. Wei felt her throat was dry and tight, and she swallowed several times before speaking out, "I saw Tianxiang kneeling in front of the tub. I thought, I wanted to help him. But as soon as I touched it with my hand... I found that his body was hard."
After hearing this, Village Chief Yin couldn't speak for a long time. When he spoke again, he suddenly looked in the direction of Lu Anran and Yunqi and said in a calm voice: "It's strange that Tianxiang died. Da Zhuang, take two people to take a detour from Wangjiacun to the county." Report the case to the Yamen, and except for those who clean the rocks every day, the rest will not be allowed to leave Yinjia Village even half a step from today on."
Lu Anran knew that Village Chief Yin was talking about everyone, but only a few of them and Master Yunqi were outsiders. A murder occurred as soon as they arrived in the village, so they were the first to be suspected.
"By saying this, the village chief is sure that Yin Tianxiang killed him for him?" Yun Qi flicked the pendant on the fan handle with his finger, smiled softly, and said charmingly: "Maybe just like what Sister Tian said, the evil ghost seeks his life, the village chief also Where to find the murderer.”
Village Chief Yin said with a cold face: "Master Yun, if you want to stay here, please follow the rules of Yinjia Village."
"Village chief, that's not okay. I'm about to make a decision on my matchmaking business. If something goes wrong in the next few days, I will lose a lot of money." Mrs. Tian quit her job and talked about making money. My legs are no longer weak, my waist is straight, and I feel full of energy.
A person in the village said: "Sister-in-law Tian, you want money rather than life. According to you, the Jin family turned into a ghost and came to kill people. You are not afraid that they will find you next."
"Bah!" Mrs. Tian rolled up her sleeves and puffed out her chest and said, "Jin killed people because he wanted to go underground and become a ghost couple with Yin Tianxiang. What does it have to do with me."
Village Chief Yin glared at me with stern eyes: "Try talking nonsense again."
Sister-in-law Tian shrank her shoulders, hid in the crowd, and muttered to herself: "That's what happened."
"There are many rumors in the village, and I usually don't care about them, but now someone has made up the story about something happening to my Tianxiang family. If I hear about it again, I'll smash your mouth!" Village Chief Yin dropped these words and walked away.
Everyone left one after another. A murder suddenly occurred in a quiet mountain village. It was still unclear whether it was caused by humans or ghosts. Everyone felt nervous. After hearing Sister Tian's words, they wanted to get away from this ominous place quickly.
Lu Anran thought for a while and walked up to Mrs. Wei: "Your husband's leg injury has not healed yet. He should not touch the water in the past few days."
Wei stood blankly for a moment. After hearing Lu Anran's words, she lowered her head and wiped a tear from the corner of her eye, "What I'm saying is that Fang Zhongyuan didn't have a bathtub. I didn't hear him say he wanted to take a bath before I delivered the medicine and left last night. , and no one boiled water for him, and I don’t know why..." The more he talked about it, the more it sounded like it was haunted.
"You didn't sleep in the same room with him." Lu Anran was confused.
Wei put the back of her hand on her cold and pale face, "Susu started to have a fever again last night, and she had nightmares at night, so I stayed with her all night, and didn't make medicine for Tianxiang until dawn. Who knew that one night Something happened.”
Lu Anran wanted to ask something else, but suddenly there was a cough from behind. He turned around and saw an old woman with gray hair standing there, with a cold and stern old face, and a particularly sinister look in her eyes as she glanced straight at her.
Mrs. Wei threw out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes. Half of her lost soul came back, and she sighed: "My husband Tianxiang has suffered such a misfortune. I appreciate Miss Lao's concern. My mother-in-law still needs to serve, so I won't say more to Miss."
Mrs. Wei helped the old woman leave. Chunmiao looked at the backs of the two of them and said, "I have seen the mistress of the Yin family for the first time after living here for two or three days. I heard that she is a person who worships Buddha and stays with the Buddhist hall all day long." , how come this slave doesn’t look like she’s serving the Buddha, but instead looks very sinister.”

Halfway back, I heard Sister Tian yelling in front of me, "To say you are shameless is really a weasel staring at a chicken. You used to run to the village chief's house every day, saying that you and Jin are good sisters, which one is better?" Sisters whispering to other men behind closed doors? Huh?"
As I got closer, I saw a young woman in her twenties standing in front of Mrs. Tian. She was dressed in a coarse cotton and linen winter coat, carrying a basket made of wattle. She stood pretty in the snow. Although she was not colorful, she still had some charm. Autumn is like a chrysanthemum.
It seems that Mrs. Tian took all the anger she had received from the village chief out on this woman. She kept cursing and saying, "What the hell? I just saw the serious young master and couldn't rush to her door. I didn't even think about it." Are you worthy of asking the dog in front of your door to pee and take a picture of your face?"
"Did you really forget about the slap that Mr. Wei gave you? You can't tie your belt, and you're wearing a long sword against a short sword. You're a bitch all over."
The words that followed were so unpleasant that Lu Anran couldn't bear to listen. The woman obviously endured it to the extreme. After holding it in for a long time, she said: "You've gone too far." She wiped her face and ran away.
Sister-in-law Tian was so happy with the scolding that she let go of the depression in her heart and smiled at Lu Anran again, "Don't look at her as a pitiful girl, she is just useless."
Chun Miao asked curiously: "Who is she?"
"She was married from Wangjia Village next door. Her husband died the year before last, and everyone called her Widow Wang." There was a hint of disdain in Mrs. Tian's expression. "She is not the only one who kills men, but she is the most intolerable." lonely."
I learned from Mrs. Tian that Widow Wang had been looking for someone to support her since her husband died. She had a very high standard. Last spring, she was still looking for the only scholar in the village. As a result, he ignored her after he was admitted to a university in the county. .
Mrs. Tian spread the back of her right hand to the heart of her left hand, "You deserve to lose all the valuables in your family and lose all your personal property."
No, since Widow Wang saw Yunqi coming to Yinjia Village, she became active again and approached him by bringing him food.
Lu Anran glanced at Yunqi's room and realized in his heart that a peach blossom was here.
"You said Widow Wang and Jin's husband..."
She must have lost a matchmaker's money because of thinking about the Jin family. Mrs. Tian's smile dropped and she gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "The Jin family is a disaster. She was sleeping with her brother-in-law while she was alive. Now she is restless even after she is dead. She misses her mother-in-law. The most important thing is appearance, huh, it’s a good crime.”
After Mrs. Tian finished cursing and left, a villager who came to join in the fun appeared next to him. He shook his head and sighed: "This Mrs. Tian is really heartless."
Lu Anran didn't want to inquire about other people's family affairs, but Chunmiao seemed very interested and asked, "What should I say?"
It turns out that Mrs. Tian's family is somewhat similar to the Jin family. Because of a disaster in their hometown, the couple went to live with their aunt in Yinjia Village. The aunt lost her husband in the early years and her son in middle age, so she left the two of them to take care of themselves in old age, and they settled there.
Later, her aunt died, and Mrs. Tian's husband died in an accident, leaving her with a foreign surname and not being welcomed by the villagers. Jin was very close to her at that time, especially when Mrs. Tian's son was sick, only Jin extended a helping hand and borrowed money to see the doctor.
Although the child was not left behind in the end, it was still a great favor. No matter what Jin did, others could forget about it. It was too much for Mrs. Tian to talk about others like this everywhere.
The villagers sighed and left Village Chief Yin's house. When Lu Anran turned around, he saw Yun Qi standing in front of the window of the room at some point. He threw something up in his hand and caught it again.
"I like to look at dead people, and I like to inquire about people. How can I become old at such a young age?"
Lu Anran heard that he was ridiculing his parents for being short-lived, so he couldn't help but argue with him, so he simply accepted him and said, "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary."
Yun Qi moved his body and sat on the window edge with his legs bent. The hand holding something was placed on top of it, and the other hand waved to Lu Anran, "Come here."
Lu Anran believes that good-looking people look good no matter what they do, and that's true now.
She hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any other advice?"
"Would you like a roasted sweet potato?" His fingers spread apart, and a sweet potato that was still steaming a little was exposed. The roasted black skin stood out against his jade-like palm, which was particularly eye-catching.
Lu Anran thought for a moment and said, "The Widow Wang just gave it to you."
Yun Qi threw the sweet potato to Lu Anran and nodded: "Yesterday, her child almost broke his head and I picked it up. She gave me something to express her gratitude."
The remaining heat from the sweet potatoes burned Lu Anran's soft hands, and she said in shock: "Sister-in-law Tian has misunderstood."
"You should understand now that many things are like treating you as a coward." Yun Qi raised an index finger and tapped his eyebrow bone twice, "From other people's words, it sounds like you are not as good as your own." Eye."
Lu Anran wanted to say that she was not a liar, but she also felt that Yun Qi's words made some sense.
"Where's Kim?"
Yun Qi asked: "Whether a person is good or not depends on his personal morality?"
