Chapter 186 Nine Ileum (End)

The dream was endless darkness. Bo Ruoyou stood in the misty mountain forest, surrounded by the shadows of the treetops casting claws on the ground. The cold wind howled, and the bone-chilling cold made her freeze in place. Faintly, the cry of a child echoed in the forest. She had a splitting headache and wanted to move forward, but the crisp sound of a bell rang again——

The ringtone was like an inescapable curse, and fear was like a poisonous snake spitting out its seeds, entangling Bao Ruoyou. She raised her eyes to look at the dark night sky. Somehow, she only saw that the sky was getting farther and farther away from her. , the forest trees became taller, and the treetops became more and more out of reach. Her body began to tremble, and she subconsciously squatted down to hug herself, but the ringing sound was getting closer and closer, and there were heavy footsteps approaching...

"Her forehead is very hot." Cheng Yunzhi spoke in a hoarse voice, "Judging from the pulse and symptoms, she has already felt the wind and cold. Now after listening to what the person said, she has been stimulated again, the wind and cold... That’s not the most important thing——”

Looking at Bo Ruoyou who was lying on the couch with his eyes closed and sleeping, Cheng Yunzhi's eyes were filled with pity, but he stopped mid-sentence, which made Huo Weilou very worried, "What is the most important thing? Please speak frankly, sir." ”

Cheng Yunzhi took a handkerchief to wipe Bao Ruoyou's sweat. Although she closed her eyes tightly, her eyelashes were trembling slightly, which showed that she was very uncomfortable, or maybe she was having a nightmare. Cheng Yunzhi's hand to wipe the sweat was Trembling, the corners of his lips pursed tightly, but he still didn't respond.

Huo Weilou's heart tightened, "Sir, don't you believe me?"

Cheng Yun paused and sighed, "How could I not believe the Marquis? Otherwise, I would not have told the Marquis about Lan Zhou. When Youyou and Lan Zhou were in danger together, what happened that night?" , no one knows, but since then, she has been ill for more than half a year, and her illness is not as simple as high fever and shock——"

Cheng Yunzhi looked at Bo Ruoyou with pity, "At that time, she was unconscious and often fell asleep like this. She would either cry all day long or be silent for several days. Once she spoke, she would just talk nonsense. When she wakes up, Very rarely, even her parents don’t recognize her, she..."

A dull pain spread from Huo Weilou's heart. When he looked at Bo Ruoyou's face covered in cold sweat, he could hardly imagine the five-year-old girl suffering from this disease. Even though Cheng Yunzhi didn't say it clearly, , but his mother has been ill for many years, and he knows very well about similar symptoms. To put it more bluntly, Bo Ruoyou, who was five years old, suffered from madness.

He looked at Bao Ruoyou, as if he saw her from thirteen years ago through this pretty face, "Mr. Cheng said when he was treating his mother that he had cured similar patients in the past, and this one was The patient you cured is Youyou?"

Cheng Yunzhi no longer wanted to mention it, but had to agree at this moment, "Yes."

Huo Weilou's eyes suddenly flinched, and Cheng Yunzhi continued: "Because of this, everyone in the Bo family said that she was possessed by a water ghost and entangled by evil things, and her father and mother had no way to seek medical treatment. They even invited Taoist priests and eminent monks, but to no avail. Later, they went to Luozhou, but something unexpected happened."

Cheng Yunzhi's voice became hoarse the more he spoke, "Later, I took her away from the capital, completely separated from the surrounding influence, never mentioned anything about the Bo family, and tried every method to treat her. Only then did she slowly get better, but No one knows when this kind of disease will relapse. Over the years, I have been reluctant to ask her to investigate cases of children being killed. Until there was a case of accidental death of a child in Qingshan County earlier, and she went to I felt a little relieved after helping with the autopsy, but was not affected. This time she said that the children outside the city were murdered and their bodies were bloodless, and their ages were similar to when they were in danger, so I felt it was inappropriate."

Huo Weilou has told Cheng Yunzhi what he heard in the prison cell of the government office. Cheng Yunzhi said solemnly: "The murderer has been found, but if she is induced to relapse, I would rather she never know the truth."

Huo Weilou didn't know how Bo Ruoyou grew up, but from what Cheng Yunzhi said, he knew that it was not easy. He also understood why Cheng Yunzhi was very nervous about her investigating this case, and had never mentioned the young master of the Bo family for many years. What happened unexpectedly, his cold eyes darkened, "Since she was cured back then, this time she blames herself and feels sad, but she shouldn't get sick again."

Cheng Yunzhi shook his head, "Master Hou didn't know something. In order to cure her, I studied this disease for several years. The chance of curing this disease is very small, and it is very easy to relapse. Sometimes it looks different from ordinary people. It's different, but as long as the patient is reminded of the things that caused his illness, he will fail again."

How could Huo Weilou be so determined? He didn't know what Cheng Yunzhi said was reasonable. But at this moment, he only wanted to think better. Cheng Yunzhi stood up and said, "Don't worry about it now. I'll prescribe the medicine. If it doesn't work, , I’m afraid I’ll need acupuncture.”

Huo Weilou quickly agreed, and after Cheng Yunzhi left, he sat by the bed and held Bao Ruoyou's hand.

She closed her eyes tightly at this moment, but Huo Weilou could not forget the empty and dull eyes half an hour ago. He tightened his knuckles, fearing that he would hurt her, and looked at the tip of her frowning eyebrows, never Being in control of everything, he actually felt a little panicked at this moment.

He leaned forward to wipe her sweat and called her softly, "Youyou——"

Bao Ruoyou seemed to be frightened, and his whole body was agitated. Huo Weilou was too busy to dare to say anything anymore, but the moment his hand touched Bao Ruoyou's forehead, Bao Ruoyou's tightly closed eyes suddenly Opened.

She looked at Huo Weilou with cold sweat on her face, and her eyes were filled with tears and fear. The moment she saw Huo Weilou, tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes. She frowned in pain and held on to her body with both hands. The quilt seemed to be afraid of someone lifting it up.

Huo Weilou thought she was awake and couldn't help but approach, "Youyou——"

Bao Ruoyou trembled with more and more fear. She pulled the brocade quilt higher and covered her cheeks, revealing only a pair of timid and fearful tearful eyes. Huo Weilou's bent waist paused - she was afraid of him!

Even if she had a nightmare, this was not the way she should behave when facing herself. Huo Weilou suddenly thought of the night she was kidnapped. He froze, not daring to say anything, and only looked at Bao Ruoyou's face. Although her eyes were full of tears, her pupils were dilated, as if she didn't recognize him. He held his breath for a long time, and just when he was worried and wanted to call Cheng Yunzhi, Bao Ruoyou sobbed and closed his eyes again.

She loosened her grip on the brocade quilt, turned her head slightly to the inside, and returned to her sleepy appearance.

Huo Weilou pulled down the brocade quilt covering the tip of her nose, and his heart became heavier and heavier. He never knew that Bao Ruoyou had such a disease when he was young. Seeing her weird behavior at that time, he just felt that she had suffered. He had a frightened nightmare, but now, he felt that Cheng Yunzhi's worries were very likely to come true.

He watched helplessly as the eldest princess had been seriously ill for many years. Now that he thought that Bao Ruoyou would suffer from the same illness again, he felt like his whole body was burning. He took a deep breath, tucked Bao Ruoyou into bed, and waited for Cheng Yunzhi to come back.

Cheng Yunzhi came back with a bowl of medicine. Huo Weilou told Bo Ruoyou about the strange situation. Cheng Yunzhi suddenly changed his expression and went to check for pulse. After a while, he said: "We still have to wait for her to wake up."

Cheng Yunzhi fed Bo Ruoyou medicine, and after finishing the feeding, he could only wait. It was almost dusk at this time, and although the heavy snow outside had stopped, the sky was dark again, and dark clouds were accumulating on the horizon. It looked like snow would fall again at night. At this moment, there was a knock on the door of Cheng's residence.

Zhou Liang quickly went to open the door, but what he saw was Ming Guilan and Wu Xiang. He welcomed them in and walked all the way to Bo Ruoyou's yard. Cheng Yunzhi and Huo Weilou learned about the two people's interactions and also He didn't have time to go to the main hall, so he only received the two of them in Bo Ruoyou's warm pavilion.

Ming Guilan ordered his attendant to take off the fox fur cloak on his shoulders and asked, "How is Miss Bo?"

Cheng Yunzhi sighed: "It's a long story, but it's not a good time right now."

Wu Xiang immediately asked: "Why is that so? She said she had been ill before and had forgotten what happened back then. Just now she heard the murderer's testimony. Did she remember what happened back then?"

Cheng Yunzhi said bitterly: "That's not the case. She is now infected with wind and cold, and her previous illness has been a hidden danger in the past few years. Now that she hears the old things, she is made uncomfortable again."

Ming Guilan hesitated and said: "Mr. Cheng, did my father see a doctor for Miss Bo back then?"

Cheng Yunzhi nodded, "I have indeed seen it."

"My father just remembered it." Ming Guilan looked solemn, "He said... Miss Bo's disease was quite difficult to treat at that time, but I didn't expect that Mr. Cheng later cured her."

Cheng Yunzhi didn't want to say much, "It's mostly due to her leaving the capital that her health is still not good."

Huo Weilou looked at Wu Xiang at this time: "What did the murderer explain?"

Wu Xiang said hurriedly: "Everything has been confessed. Mr. Ming also read the evidence just now and said it was almost the same as before. In addition, he also confessed four cases in the past ten years, plus Mr. Bo and Wen Jin. There are a total of six boys murdered by him. The people in the Yamen are still continuing to interrogate the details. Starting tomorrow, they will take him to identify the place where the crime occurred to see if more witnesses and physical evidence can be found. The boy’s family also needs to take time to contact them, and the decision can only be finalized when there are no mistakes or omissions.”

The yamen has its own yamen regulations. Huo Weilou felt relieved about Wu Xiang, but he thought of one thing, "Back then, he took away their sister and brother, and then his sister escaped from danger. He was never afraid after that?" ”

" I haven't asked about this yet, but I have asked Xiao Hu. Xiao Hu said that the yamen brother who handled the young master's case mentioned that Xiao Bo was seriously ill at that time. Everyone in the yamen who handled the case knew it, and maybe the murderer also knew it, or he was Xiaobo didn't see the murderer's face, so he was confident."

Li Shen knew that his time was coming, so he spoke fearlessly and concealed nothing. However, the younger brother was sacrificed and murdered, but the older sister escaped. Any murderer would be afraid of the little girl who escaped. say.

But Li Shen did not mention his subsequent taboo against this sister.

Huo Weilou felt it was inappropriate, but Wu Xiang's explanation made sense, so he just said: "There needs to be more interrogation here."

Wu Xiang agreed, and Ming Guilan added: "Mr. Cheng has great medical skills, but if Miss Bo's illness is difficult to diagnose and treat, I and my father can help."

"Okay, you are determined."

Bo Ruoyou was ill, and Wu Xiang and Wu Xiang could not stay for long. As soon as they said goodbye and left, the good aunt who was guarding Bo Ruoyou came out of Bo Ruoyou's boudoir, "Master, Mr. Marquis, the young lady is awake—— ”

Huo Weilou and Cheng Yunzhi hurriedly went to see them and entered the inner room. As expected, Bo Ruoyou woke up. She was still lying down with a sick look on her face. When she saw the two of them appearing, she said hoarsely: "When did I get infected?" I don’t even know the wind and cold.”

Cheng Yunzhi was full of worries and could only hide it at the moment, "What am I talking about? It's been cold these days and you've been running back and forth. How can you not get sick?"

"It worries my adoptive father." Bao Ruoyou had little energy due to his illness, and his voice became gentler. After speaking, he went to see Huo Weilou again, "It also made the Marquis worried."

Huo Weilou stood beside the bed, "Do you feel any discomfort?"

Bo Ruoyou didn't hide it either, "My body is sore and weak, my forehead is a little sore, and my throat is sore. Nothing else is wrong. I can recover after taking my adoptive father's prescription in two days."

Cheng Yunzhi took his pulse and asked carefully: "Do you feel that your mind is confused and you can't remember things?"

Bao Ruoyou looked at the two serious-faced people inexplicably, "That's not the case. Don't worry, adoptive father. It was the cold wind and the fatigue of the past two days that made him suddenly unable to hold on. There is nothing wrong with him."

After saying that, Bao Ruoyou glanced towards the door, "Aunt Liang said, Capt. Wu and Mr. Ming are here to visit?"

Huo Weilou nodded, "I've left. I came to visit you."

Bo Ruoyou pursed her lips tightly, and she was silent for a moment. Apparently she still remembered what happened earlier, "Has the murderer finished explaining?"

Huo Weilou repeated Wu Xiang's words, "There are Wu Xiang and Sun Zhao in the Yamen. You don't have to worry. I'll be healthy and well these two days. If there is news from the Yamen, I'll tell you."

Bo Ruoyou took off her outer robe, and the satin-like green silk covered the pillow, which highlighted her pale complexion. She looked at Cheng Yunzhi, "Does the adoptive father know?"

She felt a sore nose as she opened her mouth. Cheng Yunzhi nodded, "I know, my adoptive father thinks you did the right thing. If you hadn't escaped that day, your parents would have been heartbroken."

A layer of mist floated under Bo Ruoyou's eyes, "If others are in danger, I won't dare to help, but...but I left my brother behind, he is only four years old..."

After speaking, she suddenly raised her hands to cover her eyes. Soon, a line of tears flowed down her cheeks. The tip of her nose twitched and she sobbed slightly.

Cheng Yunzhi sighed, "Silly girl, no one will blame you, but I feel lucky. You shouldn't blame yourself either. You must have wanted to take your brother with you, but the murderer was an adult man. The two of them ran away together. How could he escape? And the murderer specifically targeted boys. How could you, a five-year-old girl, save him?"

Bao Ruoyou still covered his eyes with his hands, and Cheng Yunzhi said distressedly: "Cry if you want to. After you finish crying, your adoptive father will not allow you to think about this matter again. Now that the murderer has been caught, it can be regarded as Lan's death." Zhou has taken revenge, and we will go to his grave to burn incense some other day, and let the matter be over."

Bo Ruoyou was conscious, which made Cheng Yunzhi's heart loose. Naturally, he just wanted to comfort Bo Ruoyou and not make her blame herself and think too much. Seeing Huo Weilou standing by silently, he stood up and stayed for the two of them. For a moment, Huo Weilou comforted her.

Huo Weilou first held her hand on her side. Bo Ruoyou was aware of it, but he still didn't let go of the hand that fell on his eyes. Huo Weilou's eyes dimmed, and he leaned forward and pulled her up with the brocade quilt. After falling into his arms, Bo Ruoyou buried her face on his shoulder, and the suppressed sobs escaped from her throat. Huo Weilou felt extremely distressed, and felt a trace of wetness on the side of his neck, like needles pricking in his heart.

"Don't blame yourself, seeing you like this makes me and Mr. Cheng feel distressed."

Huo Weilou touched Bo Ruoyou's back. She was shaking harder and harder, and the sobs in her throat became louder. Soon, more tears wet the side of Huo Weilou's neck. He had never seen her awake. He had shed tears before, but now these tears fell on the tip of his heart, making him feel hot and painful.

Bao Ruoyou is not a weak-minded person. The self-blame he had been holding in his heart was released, and it became much clearer. After a while, she withdrew from Huo Weilou's arms. Huo Weilou hugged her and saw that she was wet. He raised his hand to wipe her cheek, and couldn't help but kiss her twice at the corners of her eyes. "Did you know that Nightmare was crying just now?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "I don't remember."

There was still a lot of sadness in her eyebrows. Huo Weilou looked worried and thought that she was still ill, so he wanted to put her down and lie down. But Bao Ruoyou thought he was leaving and hurriedly grabbed his hand. "Where are you going, Lord Marquis?"

Huo Weilou was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips and held the person firmly in his arms, "I'm not going anywhere."

Bao Ruoyou seemed relieved and leaned her cheek against his shoulder. It was rare that she was so clingy. Huo Weilou could no longer suppress the worry and love in his heart, so he couldn't help but kiss her cheek. Come down.

This kiss was soft and delicate, with nothing to do with desire. He only poured out all the feelings in his heart. He kissed her along the corners of her lips, the tip of her nose, the side of her face, and finally took her soft, blood-red lips and grinded them. This deep comfort The meaning made Bo Ruoyou's heart surge, and his eyelashes were slightly moist, but his anxious heart calmed down at this moment, and because of this closeness, there was a little more color on his pale cheeks.

Huo Weilou's kiss swept away the gloom in her heart like a spring breeze. When Bo Ruoyou saw that he was so delicate and gentle, he kissed her between her eyebrows a few more times and said softly: "I will accompany you tonight." Then he said as if he was teasing her deliberately, "And there is no need to go to the guest house tonight."

Although Bao Ruoyou had no strength to respond, there was half a smile in his eyes, and the two of them were affectionate for a while. Cheng Yunzhi brought his good aunt to bring dinner, and Cheng Yunzhi fed him the medicine. Now Huo Weilou fed Bo Ruoyou himself. Ruoyou used some white porridge, and Cheng Yunzhi felt more at ease when he saw how considerate he was to Bo Ruoyou.

As expected, Huo Weilou did not go to the guest house again that night. He rested on the imperial concubine's couch in Bo Ruoyou's room. He couldn't stretch out his long hands and feet on the couch, so he went to sit next to Bo Ruoyou's bed and sat outside in the middle of the night. The cold wind howled and heavy snow began to fall again. Bo Ruoyou suddenly woke up. When he saw Huo Weilou still sitting by the bed, he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Huo Weilou did not return to the house for two nights, which made the Duke Huo's house know that Bo Ruoyou was ill. Early the next morning, Huo Qinghong and Eunuch Fu arrived at the Cheng residence together. Eunuch Fu saw Bo Ruoyou's sick face and his eyes were filled with tears. Tears, Huo Qinghong felt even more strange. Bao Ruoyou was the least delicate little girl he had ever seen. How could he be so sick all of a sudden?

After some questioning, Huo Qinghong was greatly disappointed when he found out about Bo Lanzhou. However, his visit to Chengzhai to see Huo Weilou was not just to visit his doctor. He was now in Taichang Temple, after all, he had official business in mind. "Brother, nothing has been found in the palace yet. Wang Qingfu's wife and children are also law-abiding people. What should we do next?"

Huo Weilou has been with Bao Ruoyou for the past two days, but he has not missed any official duties. "The palace is tracking down the maids, eunuchs and imperial guards who have left the palace in the past five years, as well as those who have resigned from Taichang Temple."

Huo Qinghong was surprised, "Every year, many maids and eunuchs leave the palace, and the Imperial Guards also change frequently. The same goes for Taichang Temple. How many people need to be investigated?"

"Investigating a case is extremely labor-intensive, and many clues and witnesses are like looking for a needle in a haystack. Now I just hope that we can really find the suspicious person, and don't keep Commander Si Bai busy."

Huo Qinghong knew that there was still work to be done on the case, and he did not dare to stay in Cheng's house for too long, so he quickly said goodbye and left.

Bo Ruoyou was ordered to recuperate in the mansion.

She rarely gets sick on weekdays, but once she does fall ill this time, it is not as easy to recover as she thought. In addition, the prescription prescribed by Cheng Yunzhi is also mainly for warming and tonic, so the illness will go away even more. slow. But she felt guilty after knowing the truth back then, and she no longer had the hands-on temperament she had in the past. She could only recuperate and inquire about the progress of the Yamen every day.

Huo Weilou ordered Fu'an to find a maid to take care of Bo Ruoyou, and stayed with Bo Ruoyou in Cheng's house for three days before entering the palace to meet the saint. Except for that first day, Bo Ruoyou was quite miserable. She didn't show much, but an illness made her lose a lot of weight.

Three days later, Wu Xiang and Sun Zhao came to visit together.

Huo Weilou was at the Cheng residence that day, entertaining the two of them with Bo Ruoyou and his daughter in the main hall. Sun Zhao came with him today, and the case was settled.

Wu Xiang said: "The past few days have been going well, but Li Shen's health is not very good anymore, and he fainted twice. Those four families are all rich or noble in the city, and three of them are I got in touch and found out that there was another family named Liu. The head of the family had gone to Suzhou in the southeast to serve as an inspector. He had been away from Beijing for several years. He only found a servant in his old house and said he wanted to deliver a letter to the southeast. It would take more than a month to get a reply at least. ."

"We have checked with the other three families, and the scene when the child was lost is consistent with Li Shen's confession, and these families, including the Bo family, really went to Feiyun Temple that year, or maybe , has some involvement with Taoism."

"We also went to Feiyun Temple to inquire. After Li Shen returned to Feiyun Temple that year, his whereabouts were uncertain, and he also defrauded money from the old temple owner. It was also known to the old temple owner, but his illness did not seem to be normal at the time. He is terminally ill, so the old patron is quite tolerant of him. The only pity is that Baijia Village outside the city was demolished, Li Shen's old house cannot be found, and the place where the first crime occurred cannot be determined."

After Wu Xiang finished speaking, he looked at Huo Weilou, "We later interrogated the question raised by the Marquis that day. He said that there were many official officials on the banks of the Luohe River at that time. After a little inquiry, we found out that Xiao Bo was extremely ill at that time, and Xiao Bo had not After seeing his face, he didn't do anything. After that, Xiao Bo was taken back to the Bo family to take good care of him. He didn't dare to do anything even if he wanted to."

Huo Weilou nodded, "The decision can be finalized now"

Sun Zhaoying said: "Although the location of the previous cases cannot be found, not many people know what happened at that time. Li Shen has a motive, and the time of committing the crime is compounded. In addition, he confessed himself. The family history of several victims has been roughly recorded, and the case can indeed be concluded, and Wen Jin’s case is finalized."

Bo Ruoyou suddenly asked: "Have you interrogated him about the details of the murder? Can you tell me how he murdered my brother that day?"

Sun Zhao and others showed hesitation and turned to see Huo Weilou and Cheng Yunzhi. Bo Ruoyou was the victim and a family member of the victim. In addition, the murderer said that she left her brother and ran away on her own that day. Sun Zhao Neither she nor Wu Xiang dared to tell her in detail what happened that day.

The murderer's murder must be cruel and bloody. Bao Ruoyou was already very guilty. If he knew how tragic his brother's death was, he would only blame himself even more.

Huo Weilou couldn't bear it in his heart, but he understood that Bo Ruoyou had been a gangster for many years, and he still wanted the truth to come out in detail for other cases, let alone his younger brother's case. If he evaded because of fear and guilt, this case would be ruined. It's not like her to settle down in a daze.

He said: "Speak frankly——"

Wu Xiang coughed lightly: "We have pointed out the route of each case in the past few days to prevent any mistakes. On that day, the young master and Xiao Bo were separated from their family in Deng City. The reason for the separation is unknown. He said that when he saw you, the young master was standing next to a group of children playing on the long street. He stepped forward to join in the fun and mentioned that he recognized your parents, and he easily deceived you. Later, Even when no one was around, he still used the drug."

"It was a time when there were many tourists at night. In order to be afraid of bumping into people, he first took you to the ruined temple. Yes, it was the place where Mr. Ming escaped that day."

"The ruined temple is gone now. At that time, only the banks of Luohe River were quite prosperous. Baijia Village was to the west of Luohe River, surrounded by many farmhouses. The ruined temple was on a gentle slope, and most of them were deserted at night. He I wanted to wait until the night got darker and no one was around before taking you back, but it took too long and you all woke up..."

"But this time he tied your hands and feet, but somehow he was broken free, and you almost ran away. When he went to chase you, he caught up with the young master."

Wu Xiang avoided Bo Ruoyou and escaped by himself, and continued: "Then he took the young master home in the middle of the night, using the same method as he used to treat Wen Jin. In his opinion, the blood dojo was Just like the true God worships the flesh and blood, he also took his own blood and offered it to the true God."

Wen Jin's body was carefully examined by Bo Ruoyou. At this moment, Wen Jin's body in her mind suddenly became that of her younger brother Bo Lanzhou, which made her heart throb again.

Her face turned pale, but she still managed to hold on, "What happened next?"

"He hid the young master's body at home for five days. It was freezing cold at that time, and the body would not rot. Moreover, those five days were the time when searchers outside were searching most intensively. Later, he just Throwing the body into the lower river at night."

Wu Xiang finished speaking in one breath and looked at Bo Ruoyou worriedly, but Bo Ruoyou only said in a cold voice, "Okay, I understand. When will the case be brought to court for conviction?"

Wu Xiang looked at Sun Zhao, who sighed: "It will take half a month at the earliest, but... Li Shen may not be able to wait until then."

Several people looked puzzled, and Sun Zhao added: "Li Shen may be dying. Yesterday he fainted again and his body was very hot. We went to the doctor and the doctor said that his organs were damaged. The oil has run out, the lamp has dried up, and he himself has no thoughts of life. He might faint and never wake up again next time, and he will still have ten days to live at most."

A sense of sadness spread in Bo Ruoyou's heart. It seemed that Li Shen murdered six innocent children, but in the end he died of illness. What kind of punishment was this?

Taking a deep breath, Bo Ruoyou forced himself to calm down, "Why did he specifically target wealthy people in the capital in the early years?"

Wu Xiang's eyes were full of disgust, "Because he said that the fairy boy dedicated to the true **** must be from a wealthy family who has never suffered. Such people have profound blessings and are even more loved by the true god. He believed it like crazy."

At this point, Bo Ruoyou's questions in her heart have basically been answered. Maybe she could ask more subtle questions, but she is indeed depressed. No matter how hard she has the energy to do everything in detail, Cheng Yunzhi and Huo Weilou don't want her to wallow in guilt again. Sun Zhao and the other two thanked him and asked about other questions, but Bo Ruoyou didn't say another word until they said goodbye and left.

Her situation was quite worrying, but Bao Ruoyou held on and said neatly: "Just as the adoptive father said, let's go see our father, mother and younger brother. At the beginning, our father and mother didn't know the truth. ”

Cheng Yunzhi agreed and quickly decided to go to worship outside the city the next day, and Huo Weilou naturally accompanied him.

Early the next morning, Huo Weilou arrived at Cheng's house. The father and daughter brought incense and candles to worship, and headed out of the city together. I don't know if an old case has been solved and the God of Heaven has done something good. They have been gloomy for a few days. The sky cleared up that day, the sky was as clear as water, and the sun was high, reflecting the boundless snowy fields outside the city.

When they arrived at the Bo family cemetery, the three of them went straight to the tombs of Bo Jingxing and his wife and Bo Lanzhou. This was the first time Huo Weilou came to the tombs of Bo Jingxing and his wife. He also lit three sticks of incense, and Bo Ruoyou knelt in front of the graves. While burning the sacrificial document, Cheng Yunzhi told the truth about that year. Cheng Yunzhi felt distressed and did not want to stay here. When the sacrifice was presented, he watched Bo Ruoyou kowtow and go down the mountain.

On the way back to the city, Bo Ruoyou looked calm, but slightly tired. After a while, he fell asleep leaning on the side of the car. Cheng Yunzhi looked at it and breathed a sigh of relief.

Bao Ruoyou didn't wake up until the carriage arrived at the door of Cheng's house. She seemed to be in a daze from sleep, and she was a little unenergetic. When she got off the carriage, her face was still dazed and staring. Huo Weilou got off the carriage from behind and got in. He said: "Youyou, I need to go to the palace and come to visit you later."

Bo Ruoyou nodded, his eyes still a little distracted, Huo Weilou was a little worried, Cheng Yunzhi said from the side: "Master Marquis, go, she is afraid that she did not sleep well last night, it is important for you to face the saint."

"Okay, I'll come back in the evening." After Huo Weilou finished speaking, he took a deep look at Bo Ruoyou before leaving.

Bao Ruoyou watched Huo Weilou's carriage drive away with a daze in her eyes. When she turned around, she saw Cheng Yunzhi entering the door, so she followed him in.

"Youyou will go back to your room to rest first. You are hungry after being out for half a day. I will ask Auntie Liang to send you some soup." Cheng Yunzhi explained as he walked.

Bo Ruoyou responded and turned towards his yard, while Cheng Yunzhi went to give instructions to Aunt Liang.

After a while of burning incense, Aunt Liang walked to Bo Ruoyou's boudoir with a bowl of lotus seed soup. When she got there, she knocked on the door, but there was no response. Aunt Liang frowned and pushed the door open. "Miss, have you gone to bed? Have some lotus seed soup before you go to bed——"

After finishing speaking, Aunt Liang looked towards the embroidery bed. However, the embroidery bed was empty. Where was Bo Ruoyou's shadow?

She stopped and looked around, wondering, could it be that Bao Ruoyou went out?

She hurriedly carried the bowl and walked towards the door, but just a few steps away, there was a sudden rustling sound in this quiet boudoir where you could hear the drop of a needle. The sound was secret and muffled, as if coming from somewhere closed. came from the ground.

Aunt Liang turned around and glanced at the furniture and utensils in the room. Soon, the sound started again. This time, Aunt Liang's eyes fell on the high cabinet against the wall to the left of the embroidery bed.

She frowned and walked towards the cabinet. The closer she got, the louder the movement in the cabinet, and Auntie Liang became more and more convinced of what was in the cabinet. She was a little nervous, but she thought that the house was relatively safe. Then he boldly went to pull the cabinet door——

There was a "pop" sound as the cupboard door was pulled open. Aunt Liang was a little confused at first, but soon she saw the situation inside the cupboard clearly. The soup in her hand fell to the ground with a sound, and huge panic emerged from her eyes!
