The housekeeper didn't dare to say anything, but when he accidentally glanced at the bedside, he discovered that the talisman was missing.
"Master, talisman!"
Pointing to the bedside he exclaimed.
Wang Dahu suddenly turned his head, and the talisman was indeed gone.
"Master, could it be those two people during the day?"
At this time, the housekeeper naturally thought of Mo Xiao and Wen Nuan. After all, he was the only two people who had been to the backyard today.
Wang Dahu also became suspicious.
The housekeeper took a step forward and continued
"Could it be that those two people were suspicious?"
Wang Dahu slowly sat on the edge of the bed, turned Wang Xiang'er over, and carefully covered her with the quilt at the end of the bed.
"Suspicious? How could they be suspicious?"
Guanjia Road
"About Miss..."
After just saying the beginning, the housekeeper felt a cold gaze staring at him, and when the words came to his lips, he shrank back.
When Wang Dahu withdrew his gaze and turned to Wang Xiang'er, he became very kind again.
"Did anything happen in the house after I left?"
Seeing that Wang Xiang'er was normal, Wang Dahu felt relieved, stood up slowly, and asked in a low voice.
"The group of business owners came to the door again, probably to borrow money again, but I made an excuse and sent them away."
Speaking of those bosses, the housekeeper looked disgusted.
"Business is hard to do now, and it's not easy for everyone. When there was a shortage of food, they also did their part. If they can help, they will help."
"But they have gone too far. How many times have they borrowed money? You can't just rest on your credit book and not get out of it just because you have made some achievements in the past?"
The butler was furious.
"Besides, this money is not prepared for them. It has been ten years and Kunzhou's vitality has not yet recovered. They all only care about themselves."
Wang Dahu said
"The country's money circulation is based on gold and silver. After Kunzhou experienced the severe hit ten years ago, there is not much gold and silver left. No matter what we do, we can just barely maintain it. Without the inflow of new money, it will be a stagnant water after all. .”
"Now, the destruction of Taiyang City is also a rare opportunity for Kunzhou. Maybe we can take advantage of the alliance leader's entry into Penglai to make this stagnant water flow again."
The butler's eyes lit up
"That's why the city lord tried every possible means to recruit forces from Jiangnan for the alliance leader, even going so far as to blow up Mount Taixuan."
Wang Dahu continued without comment.
"It's a risky move to get angry, but the city lord is indeed forced to panic. Kunzhou has not seen improvement in ten years. How can he be willing to let go of a life-saving straw if he is holding on to it."
"But fortunately, after the sword sect was destroyed, the sects in the south of the Yangtze River have all joined the various cities. With this step, the city lord has firmly put his name on the alliance leader's credit book."
Mo Xiao, who was hiding in the tree, heard the conversation between the two clearly, and the more he listened, the more angry he became.
He didn't fully understand what the two said, but he also got a general idea.
"For the sake of Kunzhou, we have to drag me into Taixuan Mountain. What's the point?"
He wished he could go down immediately and cut the two of them into pieces, but thinking of the warm words, he had to suppress his inner impulse.
Then, it turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the night sky.
Back at the inn, Nuan Nuan had been waiting for a long time and almost fell asleep.
"Brother Mo, what did you find?"
Mo Xiao had a sullen face and put the knife on the table.
"I saw the so-called woman in red."
"What, what does she look like? Is she really Miss Wang?"
Mo Xiao nodded
"At least she looks very similar to Miss Wang, and the key thing is that she doesn't seem to be a real person."
"Is it really a ghost?"
Warm's face began to turn pale, and his voice trembled a little when he spoke.
Mo Xiao took out the talisman he brought from Wang Xiang'er's bedside.
"Brother Mo, you actually stole this. Aren't you afraid that something might happen to Miss Wang?"
Nuan Nuan rolled his eyes and went to find out how he had taken away all the life-saving charms.
Mo Xiaodao
"King Xiang'er in red seemed to be very afraid of this talisman. After just touching it lightly, it turned into a ball of red mist and disappeared."
"Is it really a ghost?"
Nuan Nuan was surprised.
"One more thing. I heard the conversation between Wang Dahu and the housekeeper in the inner courtyard, and then I understood why Zhao Yuchun suddenly ran to the foot of Taixuan Mountain, trying to recruit the Sword Sect."
Later, Mo Xiao gave an overview of the conversation between Wang Dahu and the housekeeper. It was impossible for him to memorize it completely, so he could only pick out the important ones.
"Snapped!"
Wen Nuan slapped the table, his face turned red.
"To trade the lives of thousands of Dao Sect disciples for the people under his command is too shrewd."
Mo Xiao, who was sitting aside, had already turned cold. If he hadn't thought of the unknown leader, he might have picked up a knife to kill someone.
"For such a person, treating his daughter for him wouldn't be an advantage for him."
Wang Xiang'er said, warm but calmed down, she looked at Mo Xiao who had a murderous look on his face.
"Even according to the information we have, Miss Wang still has nothing to do with these things, and we don't know what secrets Wang Dahu is hiding."
Mo Xiao said
"Now, we should think about how to cure Miss Wang."
August 13th.
Early in the morning, Mo Xiao and Wen Nuan came to the palace to continue their diagnosis and treatment of Wang Xiang'er.
"Mr. Wen, is there any progress today?"
After Mo Xiao checked his pulse, Wang Xiang'er's body showed no change compared to yesterday.
Neither Wang Dahu nor Butler Lin seemed to have mentioned Fu or tested Mo Xiao.
Wang Dahu was just as always, very concerned about Wang Xiang'er's illness.
Mo Xiao sneered secretly, Wang Dahu was quite calm.
Said casually
"Why is the talisman on the bedside yesterday missing?"
Wang Dahu glanced at Mo Xiao thoughtfully and said
"There was a thief in the house last night. It must have been stolen by thieves."
"Then what should I do? Isn't the young lady in danger?"
"So, I can only hope that Mr. Wen can save my little girl."
Mo Xiao changed the subject.
"What does Mr. Wang think about the evil spirits haunting us?"
Wang Dahu laughed
"What do you think? When the Taoist priest said this, I naturally believed it."
"Snapped!"
Mo Xiao's eyes suddenly changed, and his internal energy wall instantly spread out, and a palm force hit Wang Xiang'er directly on the bed.
Wang Xiang'er was slapped up by the palm of her hand, her body turned several times in the air, and then she lay face down on the bed.
"Mr. Wen!"
Wang Dahu was so anxious that his heart almost jumped into his throat.
Mo Xiao pointed at the two slender scars on the back of Wang Xiang'er's neck and asked again
"Mr. Wang, are these two scars Miss Wang's birthmarks?"
Wang Dahu's expression changed, he shook his head and said
"No, since Xiang'er fell into coma, I accidentally discovered that there were two scars on the back of her neck. At first, I thought they were stab wounds, but as time went by, the two scars became deeper and deeper and more conspicuous. "
Mo Xiao said
"I don't know the origin of these two scars, but I used a knife, so I know that my two scars are not knife scars."
"As for the cause of Miss Wang's illness, I already have a rough idea."
"Oh? What is it? Please tell me!"
Wang Dahu looked at Mo Xiao expectantly.
Mo Xiao put his hands behind his back and took two steps forward.
"Actually, what the Taoist priest said makes some sense, but not entirely. I checked Miss Wang's pulse for two consecutive days and found that her breath was even and her meridians were smooth. She didn't look like a patient at all."
"Those doctors said the same thing."
"So, I tried to inject a certain amount of internal energy into her to see if I could stimulate her body, but her body seemed to have a starving ghost, greedily devouring my internal energy."
"At first I thought it was really haunted by evil spirits, sucking people's energy and inner energy, but then I heard a story that changed my mind."
"The story of the ghost in red."
When it comes to the female ghost in red, Mo Xiao can clearly feel that Wang Dahu's mood fluctuates greatly.
"Mr. Wang, have you ever heard of this story circulated by the neighbors?"
Wang Dahu said in a deep voice
"What exactly does Mr. Wen want to say?"
Mo Xiaodao
"I suspect that the female ghost in red is the culprit that caused Miss Wang to become unconscious."
"This is impossible!"
Wang Dahu said sternly, his demeanor changed drastically, and he actually became a little ferocious.
"Dong dong dong!"
Outside the door, Butler Lin knocked on the door.
"Sir, the city lord is here and waiting for you in the side yard."
Wang Dahu immediately calmed down and looked outside.
"I know, I'll be right away."
"Mr. Wen, no matter what, my daughter still has to get rid of you. If I can really save my daughter, if you have any requests, just ask."
Mo Xiao couldn't hear Wang Dahu's words at this time. When he heard that Zhao Yuchun was coming, he rushed up with anger.
"OK!"
At the critical moment, Wen Nuan poked his head out from behind the screen, interrupting their conversation.
Wang Dahu glanced at Nuan Nuan, nodded, and hurried out of the door.
Mo Xiao wanted to catch up, but was pulled back by Wen Nuan.
"It's important to save people first!"
"Is killing someone worse than saving someone else?"
With just this sentence, Mo Xiao, who had almost lost his mind, was brought back.
Yes, killing people is not as big as saving people.
"I thought those girls might know something."
After calming down, Mo Xiao thought of the girls playing in the woods.
"Come on, let's go out and ask."
In the woods outside the boudoir, girls fell everywhere in twos and threes.
Mo Xiao immediately found the girl who was digging dolls under the big tree yesterday.
Wearing the same pink skirt as yesterday.
"Hello."
Nuan Nuan waved to the girl, who seemed to recognize them and ran over happily.
"Hello, little sister, are you still awake?"
Nuan Nuan shook his head
"The little sister seems to have been bullied by the big bad guy and has been sleeping."
Upon hearing the big bad guy, the little girl's eyes showed clear fear.
"Bastard……"
"Hello, my name is Nuan Nuan, what's your name?"
Nuan Nuan stretched out his hand and wanted to shake hands with the little girl. The little girl smiled brightly and extended her hand.
"Hello, my name is Huanhuan."
Mo Xiao asked
"Is the big bad guy wearing a red dress?"
Huanhuan nodded.
"Um."
"Do you see the Big Bad often?"
Huanhuan shook her head again
"Before the big bad guy came out, we hid in the house and she couldn't find us."
Mo Xiao and Wen Nuan looked at each other and said in surprise
"Does the big bad guy come out every day?"
Huanhuan nodded
"Yes, she comes out every night. She always wants to play with us, but we are afraid to play with her."
"Why are you afraid to play with her?"
"Xuanxuan played with her several times and never woke up. Later, we no longer dared to play with her."
"Xuanxuan? Where is she?"
Huanhuan shook her head
"They said Xuanxuan would never come back."
Mo Xiao's face turned ugly. Nuan Nuan sensed his change and grabbed his hand.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Mo Xiao said in a deep voice
"I probably know the real reason why Wang Xiang'er is unconscious."
Immediately, he turned to look at Nuan Nuan and said
"Call Butler Lin here for me. I still have some questions to ask him."
Half a quarter of an hour later, Butler Lin came to the forest in the backyard.
"Mr. Wen, what are your orders?"
Mo Xiao asked
"Do you still remember what the signs were before your young lady got sick?"
