There were countless bones found in the cave. Some were old and only broken limbs were left, while others were still fresh, and there were still not completely flesh and blood on the bones.

These corpses are piled up in one place, and the specific number is difficult to count, but they all have the same characteristics - these corpses are not tall and most of them belong to teenagers or children.

The captain of the armed police who was in charge of the search was dark. He used the armed police to enter the mountain because of the Zhang family, but he still felt that he was wasting police force. He never expected that there were so many children's corpses hidden in such a deep mountainous village.

Zhang Ren came with them and saw these corpses and guessed the causes and consequences. It was difficult to explain the strange power and magic to the police. He simply omitted some content and focused on the villagers' belief in cults.

In this way, things are much simpler and clearer.

The backward and ignorant villages believe in cults. Since a hundred years ago, they have used children as sacrifices to worship evil gods, so there are so many children's corpses in the back mountain.

After the captain reported the situation to the superiors, he began to question the villagers one by one and then detained them.

If what Zhang Ren said is true, then these villagers who harm such innocent children will definitely not escape the legal sanctions.

The rest of the finishing work was left to the police. Zhang Ren returned to the small building, and Qu Yanning and Chu Zhou were playing cards with a few little carrots upstairs.

Zhuang Meng sat by the window, holding a bamboo stick in her hand and knitted sweater, watching them make a fuss with a smile.

"I am Niu Niu!" Chu Zhou shouted happily, spread the cards on the table, took the sign pen on one side, and drew a piece on the faces of several people.

Qu Yanning lost the most. His round face was covered with patterns, and the visual effect looked no worse than the heads of a few little carrots.

"I won't come, I won't come." Qu Yanning covered her face and hid aside, complaining: "You guys can't draw my face."

Chu Zhou made a face at him, and a few little radish heads followed suit, bared their sharp teeth and grimaced at Qu Yaning.

Qu Yanning: “…”

He timidly retreated behind Xie Qi and said that you would unite to bully me, and I won’t play with you anymore.

Xie Qi curled his lips and his light gaze fell on the grinning little radish head. When they stopped their expressions, they surrounded Chu Zhou and pestered him to continue playing cards.

Zhang Ren looked at Chu Zhou who was surrounded by a complicated expression.

Chu Zhou had a boy and a girl with beautiful facial features. Perhaps it was because of the impact of his childhood. He had always been used to wearing women's clothing. Although he had never deliberately concealed his gender, he was beautiful and his voice was a bit hoarse. If he had not made it on his own initiative, most people would not think of him in the direction of men, but would only feel that he was a little unconventional.

Chu Zhou, who was playing cards, noticed the sight on the side, turned his head and met Zhang Ren's complicated eyes. He was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips and smiled, and continued to play cards with the radish heads.

Zhang Ren sighed and turned to look out the window.

"The police have solved everything?" Xie Qi asked.

"Well," Zhang Ren said it was almost done, "There are many children's corpses found in the cave behind the temple, and these villagers cannot escape the blame."

Xie Qi nodded. He was not worried that these villagers would not be punished as they deserved. Even if the law could not punish them, the retribution for the evil things accumulated over the years should come. Those ulcerated poisonous sores were just the beginning. He was even more anxious to go home.

"When the police finish the processing, we will go down the mountain and prepare to return to Shen City." Xie Qi said.

Qu Yanning also nodded and said that she wanted to go back early. They have been out for a while, and I don’t know if my good baby missed him.

In the evening, the reinforcements arrived at the village. There were a large number of villagers, and most of them had poisonous sores. It took a lot of effort to take people down the mountain for investigation. The captain discussed with Zhang Ren and decided to stay in the village first and then take people down the mountain early the next morning.

...

The bright moon hangs high, and it is rare to be a bright night. The bright moonlight shines on the roof. Zhuang Meng stands on the balcony, and her face under the moonlight becomes paler.

"Your food is gone."

Zhuang Meng turned around and faced her pair of golden pupils. She lowered her head slightly, "It's Mr. Xie. There will always be a solution."

Xie Qi looked at her calmly, took out the notes behind her and handed them to her, "You still have those children, and it is impossible for you to always rely on rotten corpses to survive. This records the method of using Yin Qi to practice. This village has now become a Yin-gathering Pool, which is just right for you to practice."

Zhuang Meng hesitated and took it, "Thank you, I just don't know how to thank you."

Xie Qi turned around with his hands behind his back, "No, Xiao Ning's friend... is also my friend."

...

The next morning, the police escorted the villagers down the mountain. Zhang Ren and the others did not travel with him, so they stayed in the village and said goodbye to Zhuang Meng and the others.

The once lively village became empty, and Zhuang Meng brought them to the entrance of the village with five small radish heads.

Chu Zhou was reluctant to leave with red eyes. Zhuang Meng wiped his tears and pushed him out with a smile, "Mom is here. If you have time, come back and see it. It's not a separation from life and death."

Chu Zhou sniffed, wanted her to walk with her and remembered Xie Qi's words, so he could only hold Zhuang Meng's hand and let her take care of herself.

Qu Yanning patted his shoulder and pulled him out, "Aunt Zhuang, take care of yourself, we will come back to see you later."

Zhuang Meng smiled and said yes, the little radish heads stood in a row, waved their hands at them, and their faces were filled with reluctant expressions.

As the figures of the group disappeared into the valley, Zhuang Meng led a few children back to the village.

In the cave on the back mountain of the temple, a man in white took out a black jade pendant deep in the cave. The jade pendant was pure black all over and the tentacles were cold. He carefully put away the jade pendant. The man in white looked towards the entrance of the village from afar and sighed softly, "It seems that he is going to find another dark place again."

It was much easier to go down the mountain than to go up the mountain. The four of them returned to the Zhang family in the evening that day.

Zhang's father arranged a banquet, and the group of four went to rest before eating and drinking. The next day, he took the special plane arranged by the Zhang family back to Shen City.

Zhang Ren did not travel with him when he returned to Shen City this time, saying that there was something at home that he needed to stay and deal with it. Xie Qi looked very clear. Zhang Ren took care of him for so many years, and the kindness of saving him had already been cleared. Now that he has returned to the Zhang family, it is unreasonable.

Qu Yanning subconsciously looked at Chu Zhou's reaction. Chu Zhou smiled and said to Zhang Ren to take care of him.

Zhang Ren nodded silently and wished them a smooth journey.

The plane took off slowly and drew bright trajectories in the air. The four people who came, but only three left when they returned.

After staying on the plane for more than four hours, Qu Yanning felt his bones soft when he arrived in Shen City. He jumped on the spot, dragged his suitcase and said goodbye to Xie Qi, hesitantly asked when his good treasure would be back.

Xie Qi curled his lips and said that Guaibao had already been sent back. "I have something to do and I have to go home. If it is convenient, Guaibao will still ask you to take care of you."

Qu Yanning naturally couldn't find it. He nodded with his eyes shiningly, saying that it was convenient, and he could come at any time.

Xie Qi was satisfied only then, and after saying goodbye to the two, they went home.

I haven't been at home for more than a week and my house is covered with light dust. Qu Yanning put down his luggage and prepared to clean it. Chu Zhou, who had returned silent all the way, was in a bad mood.

Qu Yanning couldn't tell whether he was unhappy about Zhuang Meng's affairs or Zhang Ren's affairs, or both, so he had to ask him anxiously what he would eat later.

Chu Zhou reluctantly smiled and said that he was a little tired when he took the plane and wanted to have a sleep, so he stopped eating supper.

Qu Yanning looked at his back and sighed.

During dinner, someone knocked on the door. Qu Yanning opened the door and saw the cat owner standing at the door, looking unhappy.

"Good baby!" Qu Yanning picked up the cat in surprise, kissed the cat's head, and then looked at the person at the door.

The person who sent the cat was a middle-aged man with a serious face. He bent over to Qu Yaning and said, "Second Master asked me to send you the young master."

Qu Yanning thanked him and asked him if he wanted to come in for a cup of tea. The middle-aged man politely declined and left without saying much.

Qu Yanning hugged the cat into the house, closed the door and couldn't wait to suck the cat.

"Good baby, I miss you so much." He put the cat on his back, buried his face in his white belly, and was addicted to his long-lost belly.

Xie Qi was reserved to refuse at first, but later he simply opened his belly and asked him to rub it. Although he was a little shy, the cat also wanted to get close to the idiot.

After rubbing enough belly, Qu Yanning picked up the cat and touched it up and down, and said with some distress: "Don't you eat well at home? Why do you seem to lose weight?" The flesh on your body was missing.

Xie Qi pursed his ears and thought of the food he ate in the mountains. He immediately screamed in dissatisfaction, and rubbed Qu Yaning's chin with a coquettish look, wanting to eat fish.

Qu Yanning saw through his tricks in one second, kissed the cat's ear, and said, "Wait, there are still jellyfish left last time, so I'll make some snacks for you first."

Xie Qi was placed on the sofa. He lay lazily on the sofa, shaking his tail leisurely as he watched Qu Yanning make food for him.

I just returned home, and there was no ingredients in the refrigerator. The only thing left was the jellyfish I brought back from Moon Island last time. I treated the jellyfish and made a cold jellyfish to take it out, so that the cat could eat and play with it first.

"You can put your stomach first, I'll go buy vegetables and fry the little yellow croaker for you tonight." Qu Yanning touched Meow's head and explained.

Xie Qihuang's tail was shaking and he was immediately unhappy. He stood up, jumped gently and took it to Qu Yaning's clothes, then climbed up along the clothes, squatting steadily on his shoulders.

With a gentle meow, Xie Qi rubbed Qu Yanning's face with his furry side face, indicating that he would go shopping together.

Qu Yanning rubbed back, gently pinched his cat's tail, and said OK, "Then I'll take you with me."

One person and one cat, so they went out to buy groceries together.

The supermarket is on Xiuping Road, Qu Yanning is riding a small three-wheeler, Xie Qi squats on his shoulder, and the breeze on the side of the road slowly hits his body. Xie Qi squinted his eyes happily, and went to Qu Yaning head to his head.

In the evening, it was the time for the supermarket to offer discounts and promotions. There were many people in the supermarket. Quyan pushed the shopping cart, put the cat in the small basket of the shopping cart, and pushed the cat to visit the supermarket together.

In addition to food, you have to add some snacks. I went to the snack area first. Qu Yanning took all the snacks that Chu Zhou and Mao usually liked, and then walked around. He happened to meet a brand of jelly who was doing an activity.

Xie Qi stood up on the edge of the shopping cart, staring at the mouse doll on the movable rack.

The gray cloth mouse was made vividly and cute. The long fluff looked good. Xie Qi looked forward and stared at the big mouse with reserved and longing.

Qu Yanning thought he wanted to eat jelly, so he pushed the shopping cart over to ask for the price. However, before he bought the jelly, he saw that his cat was almost about to get the doll and mouse.

"..." It turned out that he had a misunderstanding. Qu Yanning coughed awkwardly and asked the guide how much he could get the mouse to buy.

The shopping guide looked at the kitten with a burning look and was also a little funny, saying that one could be given for five kilograms of jelly. Qu Yaning nodded, weighed five kilograms of jelly, and then there was a pack of jelly and a cloth mouse in the shopping cart.

Putting the cloth mouse in the small basket, Xie Qi squatted reservedly at first. After a while, he quickly twitched the mouse with his claws, and then shook his ears quickly. Seeing that Qu Yanning didn't look at him, he couldn't help but get closer and pressed his claws on the mouse.

Qu Yanning pushed the shopping cart and continued to turn, pretending to look elsewhere. Soon the cat in the shopping cart went crazy. Xie Qi held the furry mouse and bit it while stomping on it. The furry cloth mouse trembled under the cat's claws, and soon the gray hair flew everywhere.

Qu Yanning coughed lightly, held down the cat who was particularly excited, and said softly, "Good baby, let's go back and play?"

Xie Qi paused, his ears turned back, he let go of the cloth rat, sat down seriously, but his claw was pressed on the cloth rat, and the plum blossom pad stretched and contracted, obviously very satisfied with the new toy.

After filling the shopping cart, Qu Yaning settled the bill and went home with a lot of victories.

Xie Qi was holding a cloth mouse in his mouth, and squatting in the back compartment with a serious expression.
