Chapter 150 The Villagers

Yuan Ye’s ears move, he hears noises coming from the village. At almost the same time, Qin Shuang also opens her eyes, raising her hand in the face of Qin Yunxia, she gently pats, Qin Yunxia wakes up.

“Miss, what’s wrong? What happened?”

Then she sees Qin Shuang and Yuan Ye, and her face flushes red, knowing that instead of helping the princess, she has became a burden, she whispers:

“Miss, I’m sorry!”

Qin Shuang pats her on the shoulder, and says softly, “After more experience, you won’t be afraid! Yuan Ye, let’s go out and have a look.”

Looking at the back of Qin Shuang and Yuan Ye walking out of the door, Qin Yunxia has a foolish look on her face. In her impression, the Seventh Princess also has no experience ah. In addition to going to Wangdu, Tianqin City and Tianqin Town, how is the seventh princess not afraid?

Sober from her daze, she stares at the memorial tablets in the ancestral hall, then she trembles uncontrollably and chases after Qin Shuang and Yuan Ye in just a few steps.

The sun has illuminated the village, and it is no longer as gloomy as it was last night. In her field of vision Qin Shuang sees the villagers appear, and those villagers see Qin Shuang and them at the same time, and their eyes reveal fear, and they can’t even move.

Qin Shuang sighs and reaches out to stop Yuan Ye who wants to go forward. After all, Yuan Ye’s figure is powerful and bold, not as delicate and beautiful as Qin Shuang. In particular, she is wearing a moon white Confucian robe, making people believe in her character. Qin Shuang walks slowly towards the old man, cupping her fists in greeting she said:

“Old sir, this student greets you.”

The old man sees Qin Shuang so pretty and polite, and finally recovers his ability to move. But his voice still trembles a bit:

“This humble old man greets the noble young miss!”

Seeing that the old man is able to talk to her, Qin Shuang’s hanging heart is finally put down. If these people run back in fear and close their doors, Qin Shuang really doesn’t know what to do. Can’t break down their doors!

“Old sir, I’m a student at the Lucheng Confucian Academy, and he’s my guard. That’s my book girl. Last night we came to your village to stay the night. Why didn’t you open your doors for us? And last night a man was suddenly killed, what’s going on?”

At the mention of the dead man, the old man’s face immediately reveals a look of fear.

“Young Miss, you’d better get away. The village is not very peaceful and secure now, the evil spirit specializes in digging out the hearts of men. Several people have already had their hearts dug out in our village. Wuuu…”

At this point, the old man began to cry.

“Wuuu…”

He cried, and everyone around him began to cry. The extremely frightened villagers just now also come out of their houses and, “wuuu” start crying.

Qin Shuang looks all around in both directions. Each and every villager’s face looks exceedingly pale and haggard, their eyes show fear. It appears that they haven’t slept well for several days. Then she asks softly:

“Old sir, is it because all of their hearts were dug up at night that you don’t dare come out at night and don’t dare open the door for us?”

“Yes, wuuuu…”

“Everyone’s heart was dug up?”

“Yes, wuuuu…”

“Who did it? Do you know?”

“I don’t know. Wuuu…”

“I found out that the door of the deceased last night was opened from the inside, do you know how?”

The words of Qin Shuang have just fallen. The old man immediately stops crying, his eyes exude extreme fear, the surrounding cries also stop, each pair of eyes reveal fear. By hundreds of fearful eyes staring at Qin Shuang, there is a creepy feeling. Qin Yunxia nervously grabs the arm of Yuan Ye beside her.

“Do not…Know……why!” The old man spits out these words with great difficulty.

“It’s a ghost! It must be a ghost!”

Suddenly there is a shrill voice from the right side of Qin Shuang. Qin Shuang looks around, and in the crowd she sees a wrinkled old lady crying, her face with a broken, collapsed look. Hearing the old lady’s shrill cry, all the villager’s faces have a look of extreme fear, their bodies trembling.

“Wuuuu…”

There are some children who can’t stand the atmosphere, and some of them cry.

Qin Shuang locks her brows deeply. From the words of the old man, she only knew that this happened several days ago. It hasn’t happened before, and nothing else was discovered.

She had observed the wound on the chest of the dead body, not a wound left by a beast, but cut open and dug out with a knife. But it turns out that the door was opened from the inside, which makes no sense at all.

“Old sir, what kind of people are the first few who died? Like their gender and age?”

“All strong men!”

Qin Shuang frowns, and glances at Yuan Ye, both eyes flash with fine light. Only two people do not continue this topic. Qin Shuang asks again:

“You haven’t reported this to the authorities?”

“It’s been reported!” The old man is choked with sobs and continues to say, “The officials came, it was three martial artist, but those three martial artist were also killed overnight, and their hearts were dug up. The day before yesterday we sent another person to the authorities, but the person who was sent has not come back yet.”

“Where do you go to report?”

“Whitewater City! It’s two days away from us. The authorities should arrive tomorrow.”

Qin Shuang turns to look at Yuan Ye, asking: “Do you have any thing to ask?”

Yuan Ye shakes his head, Qin Shuang says: “Old sir, we’ll still stay in the ancestral hall tonight, see who’s making trouble.”

The old man’s eyes brighten, even thanking Qin Shuang. Qin Shuang holds the old man’s arm, saying:

“Old sir, let’s go around first, see if we can discover something, and can we trouble the old sir to get us something to eat?”

“Yes! Of course!”

“And some more water, we want to wash up.”

“I’ll arrange for you to bathe in the villager’s house! I’ll let them boil the water.”

“Thank you Old Sir!”

“Dare not, you over praise me!”

“And help feed our horses!” When her words fall, Qin Shuang takes out a silver ingot and places it in the old man’s hand. The old man sees a silver ingot and hurriedly declines:

“No, no!”

Qin Shuang waves her hands, then looks at Yuan Ye and Qin Yunxia: “Let’s go, we’ll search around the village.”

“Yes, miss!”

Seeing Qin Shuang and them leaving, he looks at the silver ingot on his hand. Then the old man immediately shouts to the villagers:

“Er gou zi, go and feed the noble miss’s horses. Zhang Lao’er and Fourth Lady go boil some water, and prepare meals…”
