From the advent of the mountains and seas

Chapter 10

Liu's car dealership.

Liu Fu wandered around the house with a nervous expression, urging his wife who was packing her luggage from time to time.

Ever since An Jing came to ask about the ghost moth case, and "revealed" that they might be targeted, Liu Fu became a little uneasy, and his mind was full of the miserable appearance of his father when he was discovered.

"The carriage is ready, let's go to Jindong Mansion to take refuge for a while, and come back after the ghost moth case is resolved here."

This is the best way Liu Fu can think of to avoid risks. The car dealership has a branch in Jindong, and there is no need to worry about the business being shut down when you get there.

"Master, it's almost done, let's go now?"

The woman picked up the burden, turned around and asked.

"Well, you go and wake up the child, and I'll go find the mother."

Thinking that he could leave this dangerous place soon, Liu Fu breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the door.

But the moment he pushed open the door, a ferocious moth head was on his face.

A brief sluggishness.

Liu Fu retreated screaming, bumped into the tables and chairs in the house with a face full of horror, and fell to the ground.

It was only when he saw the somewhat familiar figure standing behind the ghost moth's head that he barely recovered.

"This is the ghost moth I killed outside the car dealership. I guessed it was right. There is still an unresolved dispute between your father and the ghost moth case. They rushed to your house not long after they appeared."

Throwing the ghost moth's head at Liu Fu's feet, An Jing took two quick steps and squatted down, grabbed the former by the collar and lifted him up, saying in a cold voice,
"I advise you to think clearly about what happened to your father back then that made Ghost Moth think so much that I can save you once, but I'm afraid I can't save you the second time!"

These words were naturally intended to deceive Liu Fu. The result of his father returning alone during the tiger demon cannibalism incident is really suspicious.

An Jing believes that Liu Fu is very likely to conceal or ignore a key clue.

"I, I really don't know, that was my father's last trip out of the car, and he didn't tell anyone about it after he came back. For this reason, the car dealer's pension has been compensated by tens of taels. Lied to you!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the ferocious moth's head, and Liu Fu said repeatedly with panic all over his face.

Staring at the change in Liu Fu's expression, An Jing couldn't help but frowned, and was about to let go of him, when she heard a scream from behind, turned around and saw a woman with a bundle lying beside the door , presumably Liu Fu's mother.

At this moment, An Jing suddenly recalled the conversation with Liu Fu in front of the hall, and asked again,
"Your father never mentioned what happened at that time to anyone, but I remember you said that your mother heard him talking in his sleep, right?"

A man may be able to keep his mouth shut when he is sober.

What about in a dream?

"Mother, did father ever say anything strange in his sleep?"

Liu Fu understood An Jing's meaning, turned around and asked.

"Master did talk in his sleep, but he just said don't eat him."

Under the watchful eyes of An Jing and Liu Fu, the woman's voice became smaller and smaller, and the hesitant expression on her face betrayed her even more.

She is lying!

If it is said that Liu Fu's father has the habit of talking in his sleep.

In the months between his return and his death, it was absolutely impossible to say only these three words.

"This is the last chance. I can pretend that I don't know anything and leave, but Ghost Moth won't be as easy to dismiss as me."

An Jing let go of Liu Fu's collar, and gave the last advice in a flat tone.

"Mother, it's already at this time, why are you still hesitating, you have to wait until our family is wiped out by this monster before you say anything?"

The lives of the whole family were at stake, so Liu Fu was a little anxious at this time, and asked in a high-pitched voice.

"But your father made me swear."

"My father was killed by a monster, I'm still alive, and your grandson is still alive!"

Getting up from the ground, Liu Fu knelt down in front of his mother and begged,

"For the sake of our Liu family's incense, what did my father say when he was dreaming?"

The survival of the family was the straw that broke the camel's back.

"Master, in the few days when he just came back, he kept having nightmares. Sometimes he said that he was sorry for those old guys, watching them being killed, and later he looked extremely scary, saying that he wanted to kill all the thieves to avenge them. Occasionally He also yelled at the black shop, run and so on."

The old woman gritted her teeth and trembled,
"I asked him after I woke up, and he forced me to swear not to talk to anyone in sleep, otherwise he will die with regret!"

After the words fell, Liu Fu slumped on the ground sweating profusely.

He never expected to ask such a thing, so he turned to An Jing for help.

An Jing stroked the hilt of Nuan Dong's knife, thinking about it constantly.

Judging from the sleep talk revealed by the old woman, Liu's team probably encountered a black shop at that time, and the drivers were all killed by thieves.

Liu Fu's father should have been unable to escape this catastrophe, but he managed to escape in the end, and the bandits over there were even slaughtered by the tiger demon.

According to Wu Tutou, the tiger demon only looks for vicious people to hunt.

Could it be that the tiger demon broke into the black shop on the way to slaughter people?
No, not right.

If this is the case, there is no need to hide this matter at all, just report it to the official.

"do you have anything else?"

An Jing asked.

"A few times when he was dreaming, he suddenly made a very strange roar, and his whole person became fierce and scary."

Looking at the ghost moth's head and facing her son's pleading, the woman sat on the ground slumped, and said with red eyes,

"After the master woke up, he didn't remember it at all. He was in a trance. I was afraid that he would have another health problem, so I never mentioned it to anyone."

Roar?

The woman's last words were like a flash of lightning, splitting the mystery lingering in An Jing's heart, so she asked,
"Apart from talking in sleep, eating fast and reciting Buddha's name on weekdays, does he have other abnormalities, such as disappearing suddenly at night, abnormal changes in his limbs, or he is particularly concerned about something."

"No, I was the one who took care of the master during that time. His body was so weak that he couldn't even move around. He invited several famous doctors and said that his foundation was damaged, and he couldn't make up for it in a short time. It's like losing your soul."

After finishing speaking, the woman seemed to think of something, and added,
"During the time when the car route was changed, the master was very concerned about a place named Yu, and always asked someone to inquire there. When I asked about it once, he lost his temper and said that I should not take care of the business. things."

Yu?
An Jing immediately took out the car route map, spread it out on the table, and motioned Liu Fu to come over.

"Point out the station or inn near Yuyue County where the convoy can stay!"

Liu Fu was fairly familiar with business matters, and quickly pointed out a post station.

This is the stop that the car dealers often stop when traveling between Lingnan and Lanyang.

"If there is a problem here and it cannot be stopped, which one will you choose?"

If it is normally stationed at the station, nothing will happen, so An Jing directly ruled out the station, and then asked.

Liu Fu bent down, searched on the route map by candlelight in the house, and finally found a small mountain depression in the north of Yuyue County.

"There is also an inn here. I have been to it before. Because it is a store where people from all walks of life often gather, so the convoy usually does not pass there."

It's here!
