The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

For some reason, the goddess was willing to stay at this inn, and the person who could not be found no matter how hard she searched was now under the same roof with them.

Her room was right next door to Wen Jiu's. Wen Jiu prepared the things she needed and knocked on the door: "Girl, can I come in?"

The door was opened immediately, and the person inside had a smile on his face, but it didn't reach his eyes: "Just call me Wu Yao."

Wu Yao? This surname is quite rare.

Wen Jiu obviously noticed her alienation, lowered his eyes and smiled: "My name is Wen Jiu, so let's be more casual."

She came back alone with Lu Xu and the others, without preparing anything.

Wen Jiu put some necessities in her room: "If there is anything else you need to buy, just tell me and I will help you go out and buy it."

Since he could hide in southern Xinjiang for so long without being discovered, and even the imperial guards in the capital were helpless, he must have barely shown up, and everything was probably done by those stand-ins who died tragically.

"Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble? As far as I know, you and Lu Xu just met by chance and are not the same person."

Wen Jiu felt a little unhappy. He was not a stranger?

A life is so long, even people walking side by side may not always be able to walk on the same road. What's more, she is not Lu Xu's companion, how can she always be on the same road?

But even so, Wu Yao's tone was a little too strange.

"We just met by chance in southern Xinjiang, but we have known each other for a long time. If you are Lu Xu's friend, then you are our friend."

Wu Yao has not confirmed her identity yet. If she is really the guardian of the dragon vein, helping her would not be considered as causing trouble.

"Have we known each other for a long time?" Wu Yao looked at her a little, but didn't care at all: "Then I'll trouble Miss Wen Jiu."

Is there any hint of trouble in this tone?
Wen Jiu turned around and walked out the door. It had to be said that Wu Yao's hostility towards her was inexplicable.

She and she were the only two women in this inn, so why were they talking insinuatingly?

When she closed the door, she happened to see Lu Xu in the lobby, with sparse features and a unique look.

Could it be because of him?
The drama of love at first sight didn't have to happen at this time, right? She felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.

As soon as Lu Xu turned around, he saw Wen Jiu closing the door and seemed to have a bad expression.

During dinner, everyone sat down one after another. Wu Yao sat next to Lu Xu, talking and laughing, very familiar with him.

Wen Jiu glanced at that table and took Zhou Lingran to another table.

"Why are senior sisters dragging me to sit here?"

"There are five people at that table, do you want to eat standing up?"

A table can only seat four people. Do we have to squeeze in with others when there are so many tables?

Zhou Lingran did forget one more person, but he didn't do anything wrong when Wen Jiu scolded him.

"Senior sister is angry? So angry."

As soon as Wen Jiu sat down, he realized that the female ghost was sitting nearby.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

She originally thought that the group of men in black were also the ones who killed her. Could it be that the person who planted the poison was not among those people?
The female ghost just faced her, speechless.

Wen Jiu seemed to have remembered something: "Miss Wu Yao, how many people have blocked the disaster for you?"

Wu Yao raised her eyes: "What do you want to ask?"

Wen Jiu put down the cup in his hand: "I just want to ask the client why she died and who killed her?"

Wu Yaoyun finished telling some stories calmly, but Wen Jiu couldn't even swallow his food. She climbed to the roof silently, recalling her words at the dinner table.

She has been regarded as the goddess of southern Xinjiang since she was seven years old. In order to protect her, her family raised many little girls around her, the same size as her.

Every day, many girls with similar body shapes to Wu Yao come out of the Wu Mansion. Some go to the market, some to worship, and some to play. No one knows which Wu Yao is.

Except for those who show up on the day of the sacrifice.

If someone wants to shake the Wu family's position in southern Xinjiang, they must first kill the goddess. Therefore, the comprehensive protection of Wu Yao did not just start this year, but this year there are especially many people who kill her, and even use the heart-eating Gu. .

She didn't know when the two girls had died due to the heart-eating poison in the past half month or so. She only found out that two more people had died unexpectedly when they returned home without two people.

As for why they shouldered all this for Wu Yao, Wu Yao said it was reasonable: "If the Wu family hadn't saved them from the fire and water, they would have died long ago. How could they still live to this day with rich clothes and fine food?"

Wen Jiu closed his eyes, how on earth was this goddess chosen? This witch mansion... witch mansion?

Wu Yao and Mr. Wu?

Lu Xu opened the window and saw a man in yellow sitting on the roof, holding his chin with his hands, staring at the moon thoughtfully.

I didn't have a good conversation with her today, but I felt that she was a little depressed.

Lu Xu took some food from the room. He brought it back from the market when he and Lou Wu went out to verify the identity of the goddess in the afternoon.

Originally I wanted to give it to Wen Jiu after dinner, but she left without taking a few bites and was not in the mood for it.

Wen Jiu heard the voice behind him, it was Lu Xu.

It turns out that after getting along for a long time, even Lu Xu's footsteps can be recognized.

He sat behind him and handed over an oil paper bag, full of aroma.

It's sugar cake.

Wen Jiu took it easily, but just held it in his hand.

"What are you thinking about?"

Wen Jiu glanced at the ghost standing in the yard and sighed in his heart: "I'm thinking about why people are divided into three, six and nine, and why can't those in higher positions be kinder?"

Lu Xu was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what Wen Jiu was talking about.

"Don't get yourself into this blind corner. Human nature is inherently selfish, not to mention the fact that some people are born richer than others, some people are born to be valued more than others, and some people are born to deserve to die."

Because it blocks other people's way.

Wen Jiu didn't know why, but she heard a bit of hatred in these words. She turned back and said, "Then which category do you belong to?"

Lu Xu did not answer, and threw the question to Wen Jiu: "Then which category do you belong to?"

Wen Jiu lowered his eyes, which one did he belong to?
"I was born to be inferior to those above and inferior to inferiors, but fortunately, I have a heart of fear and do not dare to make trouble for the superiors. I also have a heart of compassion and do not want to see others suffer. After all, I am just an ordinary person. I am not as decisive as you and pursue your goals. I don’t care about the life or death of others on the road.”

"The goddess's life is certainly her life, but so are the lives of her substitutes."

"If those women knew that in these few short years of their love life, they not only had to live like others, but also had to pay for it with their own lives, I think they would still hesitate."

"I didn't tell them the outcome from the beginning. I thought I gave too much."

"I never believe in any destined goddess. I just follow what others say. If you want to say that, I don't need to refute it."

Lu Xu had known that Wen Jiu would think so, but he didn't know that she would be so direct.
