Chapter 398 Scared the hell out of Me

The glow of the treasure letter was even more intense than yesterday, and it was placed on the bed in no way different from a puddle of greenish light-carrying liquid.

"Hey, little guy?"

The lion cat's little head came up to the side of the treasure letter and called out to it in an extremely low voice.

Cheng Xiaoxia didn't have any other better way now, she only thought to see if she could get in touch with the little daisy, maybe the little daisy could know some clues after staying in there for such a long time.

"Are you there? Little thing?"

Her paw tentatively touched the precious letter, which was warm and felt like liquid to the touch, scaring the lion cat so much that she withdrew her paw just as soon as she touched it.

It's better not to touch it and wait quietly.

Cheng Xiaoxia is also afraid, if there are other situations, she can't really handle it.

Touch also dare not touch, shouting and no movement, Cheng Xiaoxiao lying on the bed silently waiting for a long time, until she fell asleep also failed to wait for the response of the little fledgling.

By the time she opened her eyes again, Chu Yunshen had already changed his clothes and was having his morning meal.

So soon? Your first day in Sioux City is over? My second day here?

She sat on the bed in a daze blinking her sleep swollen eyes, not at all sure what was going on right now.

Wasn't she looking at the treasure letter last night? Waiting for the chick to respond?

Right! What about the treasure letter?

The next second the lion cat's whole body jumped up from the bed, I really don't know how she could make such a flexible movement now that she had gained so much weight.

Can't find it, can't find it.

Nothing here, nothing here.

Cheng Xiaoxiao first burrowed her entire body into the comforter, and as the small bulging piece of the comforter continued to move, so did the slurred muttering.

"Meow!" —

She sat on the bed with an aggravated grimace, and wondered where she had gotten the strength to turn the entire quilt over.

Nowhere, it can t be that the treasure letter glowed last night and was collected by Chu Yunshen.

Poor Cheng Xiaoxiao, up until now she naively thought that Chu Yunshen did not know this little secret of hers.

I don't know the magic of the treasure letter or where the little fledglings are.

She also didn't think about it, the little fledgling had disappeared for such a long time, Chu Yunshen hadn't questioned her for a single word, this was not in line with Chu Yunshen's character at all.

Hey, sometimes it's better to be ignorant, ignorant and fearless, in order to get along better.

Panicked, Cheng Xiaoxiao was on the verge of turning the entire bed upside down until she remembered the existence of the small cloth bag.

She hurriedly opened the bag to see that the treasure letter was lying peacefully inside, with no strange glow or disappearance.

Scared the hell out of Me!

She lunged at Bao Huan and gave him a kiss and a hug.

My little baby, don't you ever leave me again.

I promise I'll take you with me wherever I go, and we'll never be apart again, ah.

Cheng Xiaoxiao wrapped her arms around Baohan and was so excited that she couldn't speak for half a day, and could only keep scrolling the subtitles on the pop-up screen in her mind.

This feeling of being lost and found was so good that she rolled around on the bed hugging the treasure letter.

Originally she had wondered how the treasure letter had gotten back into the bag on its own.

Did Chu Yunshen notice something strange about the treasure letter?

Did her pups finally respond to her ...

None of it matters now! Nothing matters!

As long as the treasure letter is still there, as for Chu Yunshen's side, sooner or later he will have to explain it anyway, and the little cub can wait again tonight.

If the treasure letter is lost, it's all over.

"Dinner? You're not hungry?"

Chu Yunshen's voice sounded behind the lion cat, and he finally found a chance to interrupt Cheng Xiaoxiao's self-indulgence.

Eat!

I'm starving up to my chest!

Cheng Xiaoxiao only spent a second to judge what Chu Yunshen had said to her, and her body had already made the choice for her first.

She hadn't forgotten the oath she had just sworn to Bao Xin, and actually really wanted to bite Bao Xin to go to dinner.

It was only when Chu Yunshen's dark face was unwilling to hug her that she retreated and put the treasure letter into the bag before biting into it and dragging it towards the table.

In the end, the two had to take a step back each, the bag was given to the lion cat to hang around its neck, and Chu Yunshen carried it to dinner.

This situation was maintained for several days, she accompanied Chu Yunshen in the county office every day to eat on time and read idle books, the days were so idle that it made her feel like she was back in the Jing Wang Mansion.

It was also the day after arriving in Su City that she followed Chu Yunshen out once.

It was a meeting with a 'hysterical' patient arranged by Lord Lin, and Cheng Xiaoxiao soft-pedaled Chu Yunshen for a long time before he agreed to let her accompany him.

Those sick people were arranged by Lord Lin in a small, plain courtyard, and Chu Yunshen tucked the lion cat inside his lapel again before lifting his hand for Lord Lin to lead the people to push the door into the courtyard.

Those people's faces were still a little pale, and when they saw Lord Lin come to see them in the courtyard, everyone looked excited and kneeled down to pay their respects.

Learning that Chu Yunshen was a nobleman sent from above, the crowd was even more moved.

Cheng Xiaoxiao saw that each of them was not yet fully well, but they were all very neatly dressed.

Not only that, everyone's clothes were unpatched rough linen, not that kind of expensive fabric, but they looked very comfortable.

His nails and hair were clean, his face pale but with a hopeful light in his eyes.

It looked like everyone was in good spirits and their legs and feet were strong enough to walk.

Mubai checked their bodies one by one, and everyone joked and laughed and cooperated, without anyone resisting.

Actively cooperated with the examination, and again took the initiative to talk about his health condition.

This group of patients were more optimistic and cheerful than any patients Cheng Xiaoxia had ever seen, and it was impossible to tell that they were old people who had committed 'hysteria' before.

It went too well.

By the time she came out of the small courtyard that day, Cheng Xiaoxiao's mind was filled with only this sentence.

That's just all too logical.

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't feel that this was bad, it was just that there was some unspoken awkwardness in her heart.

There was no way for her to say exactly what was wrong, she couldn't just forcefully assume that Lord Lin had something in his heart when people's bodies recovered well.

This wasn't even a crooked and strange logic, how could it not be said that Lord Lin had governed well and that this sudden and strange 'hysteria' was well under control.

Cheng Xiaoxiao heart with a faint doubt along with Chu Yunshen once again returned to the county government office, Chu Yunshen has not been any special behavior, as if the person who came to handle the case is not him, he is just coming to Su City to live for a few days.

The following days Xiao Wu and Mu Bai's side of the delayed progress, but the street is gradually restored to the lively scene.

Everything was just as Lord Lin had said, and those patients were gradually and completely cured going home individually.

The people of Sioux City are also back to the days before they went by the book.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was under the illusion that they would be able to return to the capital after a few more days of boredom.

This day she was pestering Chu Yun Shen to go out and play, and before Chu Yun Shen had the chance to say yes, Xiaowu rushed inside the courtyard from outside in a hurry.

"My Lord, a large number of people with furtive behavior were found at the food market entrance of the east gate of Su City, and their behavior all matches what Lord Lin said."

The book in Chu Yunshen's hand casually rested on the table, and in the next second the person had already gone to the closet to fetch the cloak.

Xiao Wu helped Chu Yunshen organize his clothes while Chu Yunshen began to ask about the situation,

"What's the status over there now?"

"Mu Bai and Listening Bamboo have already taken the lead in rushing over to suppress and evacuate the crowd, and Lord Lin also brought his men over at the first opportunity."

Chu Yunshen did not speak again, but instead took Xiao Wu and walked quickly towards the door.

How can this Cheng Xiaoxiao follow him, she definitely wants to go along as well ah.

She stopped the road at an inopportune moment and moved up towards the hem of Chu Yunshen's coat again.

Chu Yunshen's words of advice could not even be uttered in time before Cheng Xiaoxiao had already quickly hung onto his chest.

The heterochromatic eyes and the ink-jade-like danfeng eyes stared at each other for a second, and with another helpless soft sigh, Chu Yunshen tucked the lion cat into his own arms, and the two of them hoofed it to the food market entrance that Xiaowu had mentioned.

Most of the people in the food market had been evacuated, with only a handful left lying on the ground screaming.

Cheng Xiaoxiao saw Mu Bai squatting on the ground to take the pulse of those people from a distance, while Listening Bamboo was discussing something with Lord Lin.

Surrounded by the magistrates of the county office, two or three of them were holding a lowly hissing citizen.

The people were all dressed in rags, some with varying degrees of teeth marks and specks of blood.

Cheng Xiaoxia recognized those teeth marks almost immediately.

These teeth marks were practically identical to the traumas on those ghosts she had collected before, only the marks on those ghosts were much more horrifyingly intimidating.

She also sort of remembered why she thought Lord Lin's narration sounded extraordinarily familiar, not familiar?

Hadn't she run into a ghost with a messy bite before, so obvious she was surprised she only remembered it now.

Chu Yun Shen led Xiao Wu to cross the magistrates to the middle of the food market entrance, Mu Bai saw them coming and only quickly raised his eyes and nodded, immediately going back to check on the people who had fallen to the ground.

Cheng Xiaoxiao had never seen such a serious expression on Mu Bai's face before, and he had a few drops of blood splattered on his face, but he, who had the same cleanliness fetish as Chu Yunshen, didn't even bother.

The people on the ground Cheng Xiaoxiao also saw clearly, if not seen all kinds of ghosts, she was afraid that the overnight meal can be given out.

The entrance to the food market was all a place where vendors selling vegetables gathered, probably because of the previous crowd and such an urgent incident, the ground was littered with trampled vegetable leaves.

Those leaves reeked of bitterness, and the juice ran everywhere along the extrusion of the leaves.

It would have been fine if it was just vegetable leaves, Cheng Xiaoxiao also saw reddish-white chunks on the ground, that had some hairs on it in addition to blood and outer skin tissue.

She had not dared to say what kind of meat it was, but comparing the wounds and teeth marks on the fallen people's bodies, and the teeth marks on the piece of meat on the ground ...

The answer to this instantly cries out.

The air in Sioux City is very moist, as is the dirt.

The ground at the entrance to the food market is all muddy and not paved with green slate turnings.

The chunks of meat on the ground along with the blood lay quietly and eerily on those vegetable leaves.

Some chunks of meat had presumably been kicked or stepped on, and there was yellowish-brown mud smeared on them.

The wounds on some of the people hadn't had time to be bandaged, and blood kept flowing down the wounds, soon mixing with the vegetable juice on the ground.

The liquid flowed over the already sparse patch of dirt, pooling into numerous thin lines and rapidly turning a disgusting dark brown color.

Cheng Xiaoxia's psychological resistance defense has indeed been raised now, but she still feels offended when you let her keep looking at such exciting images.

Especially the strong smell of blood and vegetable juices together made her want to roll her eyes.

She also had to think of the secret room of Granny Dixie's life-threatening room in the beginning, if it wasn't for the entrance to the marketplace being a ventilated place, Cheng Xiaoxiao would have been able to collapse this time as well.

Forget it. Let's see what's different about those patients.
