Chapter 27 Eighteen pairs of shoes

"Yes, yes, two monks, a man and a woman, came from Xuanzong. The man is dressed in black, and the woman is dressed in white. It seems that they are black and white."

"Go on, I want to know more."

In two days, it will be the day for her to choose a bride, and it will also be the day when she is about to go on a killing spree, but she cannot let some little shrimp spoil her.

"The man was extremely cruel. He cut off my fingers as soon as we met. The woman was like an ice cube, but she was still a little kinder and gave me a pill."

"What medicine?"

Su Fan collected a lot of elixirs during this period to repair the body that was severely rejected by her.

"I, I don't know either. She said it has the effect of stopping bleeding and relieving pain, so I took it."

Su Fan glanced at his fallen finger: "Is it useful?"

County Magistrate Chen shook his head with a grimace: "No, it almost hurts me to death."

"idiot."

Su Fan snorted coldly, but didn't care much about it.

After all, Yucheng is in a special location, and the city is filled with miasma, making it a place that most monks avoid.

Even if those two young monks had great abilities, they would not be able to get out again after arriving in Yucheng and entering the Su Mansion.

The young monk Qian Shu came and went freely in Su Mansion.

She didn't actually go back to her room to rest. After entering the yard, she closed the door and climbed over the wall to the old woman's yard.

Her intuition told her that Su Fan hated that old woman very much, and maybe he could find a breakthrough in her.

The old woman was pulling vegetables in the yard, pulling out the vegetable seedlings that had been stepped down by others. She moved very slowly, and there was only a small pile of muddy vegetables around her.

"Sorry, I'll do it."

Qian Shu felt a little apologetic and quickly pulled out the trampled vegetables from the ground.

The old woman looked at her and said nothing. Of course, she couldn't speak even if she wanted to.

Qian Shu moved quickly and neatly stacked the vegetables aside.

"This is a cabbage seedling, it's growing really well."

The old woman nodded and looked at her with a pair of dull eyes, which made Qian Shu feel a little uncomfortable.

She had never been good at this kind of small talk, so she could only say dryly: "I couldn't help you with what happened just now. Su Fan must have angered you, but I still want to ask you, what do you mean by asking me to run away? "

The old woman stretched out her hand, palm upward, and hooked her, signaling Qian Shu to follow her.

Qian Shu followed her into the house. There was an extremely strange smell in the house, like the incense used in temple burning incense, but Qian Shu did not see the Buddha statue or the incense altar.

She couldn't speak, she just clasped her hands and kowtowed a few times in the direction of the north. There was only a small bed in the north, with a worn quilt on the bed, and the back sheet was torn, revealing the straw inside.

Qian Shu didn't know why, but he didn't say anything.

The old woman took two deep breaths and pointed to the bed in the north with her rusty fingers.

Qian Shu opened the quilt and found damaged clothes neatly folded inside.

There are clothes of all sizes for boys and girls, but even the largest clothes are not suitable for adults.

Qian Shu knelt down and saw pairs of worn cloth shoes, straw sandals, and a pair of small red tiger-head shoes placed under the bed.

One pair, two pairs... there are always eighteen pairs of shoes, neatly placed under the bed.

There was plenty of sunshine indoors, but Qian Shu's heart felt like it was falling into an ice cellar.

The bottom of the bed is a place where the sun doesn't shine. There are also dark corners in this large Su mansion.

Most of the missing children are here.Qian Shu was speechless for a moment. Looking at the pairs of small shoes, eighteen children of all sizes seemed to have appeared in front of her. They were crying or laughing, but now they were looking at her expressionlessly.

Qian Shu struggled to say a few words: "All dead?"

The old woman nodded, her gray hair as messy as a bunch of dry weeds.

Qian Shu felt his legs were numb, but he couldn't stand up.

Eighteen pairs of eyes looked at her silently. Qian Shu could not imagine how these eighteen living beings died.

"What did Su Fan do? Where is the body? Why did she do this?"

Countless questions burst into Qian Shu's head. She couldn't wait to know the truth, the cause and effect of the matter, and she also wanted those eighteen souls to rest in peace.

The old woman took her hand and marked "Run quickly" with her trembling fingers.

Qian Shu straightened up, feeling a little anxious.

She still asked patiently: "Old lady, I won't run away. I'm just here to find these children. I just want to know how they died."

The old woman stared at her, but she held her other hand as if holding a spoon. She slowly put the virtual spoon into her mouth, one after another.

Qian Shu felt as if someone had hit her with a mallet, which made her dizzy, her ears ringing and her eyes dazzled.

"Eat?"

The old woman nodded.

Qian Shu couldn't help but think of the full meat feast just now. Although she didn't eat it, she felt her stomach churn when she thought of the red meat on the table.

Su Fan's beautiful little face was now twisted into a monster with its mouth wide open, as if it could bite her neck off in the next second.

"She eats people. Why does she eat people? She is not a demon, nor is she without ginseng."

Qian Shu asked herself softly, but when she mentioned Wu Shen, the description in the book came to her mind.

Wu Ginseng loves to eat babies, and if enough people eat them, they can become human beings.

Is it possible that Su Fan is just Wu Shen?
Qian Shu wanted to ask more, but the old woman frowned tightly, and there were bursts of tearing sounds in her throat, which sounded unpleasant like fingernails scratching an iron plate.

She came up and pushed Qian Shu outside. The force was so strong that Qian Shu staggered.

"What's wrong? Do you still want me to run away?"

Qian Shu glanced at the wall, should he run or not?

After she ran away, Su Fan would definitely put her on the list of dishonest people. It would be too difficult to come in again in the future.

Qian Shu doesn't plan to leave for the time being. Even if he leaves, it won't be too late to wait until the day after tomorrow to recruit a bride.

"Thank you, but I don't plan to run away now, old lady. Although I know your identity, thank you for reminding me. If I have the chance, I will repay you."

After saying that, Qian Shu turned around and climbed up the wall.

Climbing the wall day after day, Qian Shu almost felt like a monkey, jumping around on every wall.

Qian Shu had just climbed down from the wall, and before she could even breathe, the door was opened.

"Aren't you taking a rest? Why are you standing in the yard?"

Su Fan put on a new set of clothes, and the turquoise color scheme looked very pleasing to the eye.

Qian Shu forced his lips to smile awkwardly: "It's okay, I just feel a little unwell and want to take a walk in the yard."

"Not feeling well? Then let me take a look at you."

Su Fan's body carried a scent that went straight to her nose. She walked over with her waist twisted, took Qian Shu's hand charmingly, and leaned against her heart.
