More than a dozen yamen servants surrounded the well, not daring to move.
Next to it, there is a big yellow ox.
In fact, Lin Yi was the first to rush to the well.
The evil baby fled into this dry well after being seriously injured by Lin Yi.
Visually, this is its lair.
"My lord is here!"
"See my lord!"
Zheng Kaiyun glanced at it with a majestic expression, "Why is there a dry well here, when was it dug?"
"My lord, this dry well has existed for a long time," a yamen servant stood up and replied, "a big stone was placed here before, blocking the mouth of the well, and it has not been touched for ten years. When the new garden was built half a year ago, The big stone was moved to be used as stone, and the well was exposed!"
"Half a year ago!" Zheng Kaiyun's expression changed.
Zheng Lian'er got a strange disease half a year ago. Could it be that she really came out of a dry well?
The root is actually here.
"Send a few people down, and you must find out for me!" Zheng Kaiyun said sternly.
"Yes, my lord!"
These yamen servants are all martial arts practitioners, and they are very courageous. After some preparations, they sent three of the most skilled martial artists to jump into the well with torches.
Lin Yi was also nearby, constantly observing with his spiritual eyes.
He found that the evil spirit here was getting weaker and weaker, showing signs of disappearing.
It seemed that the evil baby was seriously injured by him, and even though he managed to escape into the well, it was exhausted and was about to perish.
Lin Yi's previous guess was also correct. Judging from the time, this evil baby originated from the magic change ten years ago.
After the magic change ended, the Evil Infant was trapped in the dry well and escaped unharmed. It was not until half a year ago that the dry well was opened and the Evil Infant saw the light of day again, bringing about this disaster.
"ah……"
"Damn it!"
Down the well, there was a sudden scream.
Everyone tensed up.
"What's going on?" Zheng Kaiyun asked.
A yamen servant climbed up with a rope, and said with a terrified expression: "My lord, there is a passage under the well, and a lot... a lot of human skins were found inside!"
"Human skin?"
"It seems...it seems to be those people who disappeared in the mansion!"
Zheng Kaiyun was shocked to the extreme, "Quick, get them all up!"
He has been investigating this case for half a year, but he did not expect to find a clue here.
Several yamen servants jumped into the dry well to help, and dragged all the human skins found, tied them with ropes, and hung them out of the well.
At first glance, Lin Yi was also taken aback.
The thing was tied to a rope like a hanging garment.
The clothes were seven feet long, blood-stained, with heads and feet, hands and faces.
It is obviously a piece of human skin! It looked like it had just been cut from a corpse. It was very fresh and tender, and its appearance was well preserved. You could even see its appearance at a glance, and its facial features were clear.
This human skin was cut too horizontally, from head to toe, except for a slit, there was not even a trace of damage, from the fingernails to the skin and hair, they were all in good condition.
If you look at it from a distance, it looks like a living person standing here.
It's so weird.
"It's the old king, the old king who fed the horses!"
The first piece of human skin was hung up, and someone recognized it.
Lao Wang disappeared suddenly three months ago, and there was no news of him.
Today, only one skin remains.
Next, is the second one, hanging out of the well.
A sixteen-year-old girl, with long black hair hanging on top of her head, and fair and tender skin, as if cast in plaster, if she put it on a statue of similar stature, she would be a juicy girl.
"It's Madam's maid, Xiao Cui!"
This time, Zheng Kaiyun recognized it.
Xiao Cui is Mrs. Zheng's personal maid, who also disappeared suddenly half a month ago.
Like all victims, after Xiaocui disappeared, no trace was left behind.
Lin Yi was watching by the well, horrified in his heart. He had listened to people chatting before and knew the rumors of the murder in the county government.
In half a year, more than a dozen people disappeared from the county government for no reason, and even the corpses were not found in the capital.
Zheng Kaiyun invited many experts to handle the case, but none of them could solve the case.
Unexpectedly, the perpetrator was not a human being at all, but a demon!
Obviously, this demon ate up their flesh and blood, leaving only skins.
Just like humans eat animals, they also peel them.
It is very possible that these victims were skinned alive!
Quite cruel!
Pieces of human skin were hoisted up and laid out beside the well.
It's like a weird painting.
No matter how good a painter is, he can't draw such a realistic person.
"How many people are missing in our county?" Zheng Kaiyun asked.
"My lord, there are thirteen of them!"
Counting, there are exactly thirteen human skins here, no more, no less.
"Unexpectedly, it was really a monster making trouble!" Zheng Kaiyun's face was extremely ugly, "My majestic county mansion actually produced something evil, and this matter must not be spread!"
"Yes, my lord, then this well..."
"Fill it, block it for me!" Zheng Kaiyun said bitterly.
This monster was too cruel. It not only harmed his daughter, but also ate more than a dozen people in the house. It must not be released again.
In fact, the evil infant was seriously injured by Lin Yi, and would soon perish. If the well wasn't blocked, it wouldn't be able to come out to make trouble.
However, Lin Yi wondered why this evil baby didn't eat Miss Zheng after eating so many people, instead it attached itself to it and kept sucking Miss Zheng's life. What was it trying to do?
Could it be that there is another secret?
Lin Yi couldn't figure it out.
The yamen servants quickly moved stones one by one and threw them into the well one after another.
Then use a shovel to scoop up the soil and throw it into the well to completely block it.
After a while, it filled the mouth of the well.
Zheng Kaiyun was still worried, and ordered someone to bring a large stone weighing one hundred catties and put it on the well.
"From now on, no one is allowed to touch this well without my order!"
After suffering such a big loss, Zheng Kaiyun also became careful, this well cannot be dug no matter what.
"My lord, what to do with these human skins?"
Zheng Kaiyun sighed, "They are all from the mansion, so let's bury them and tell their families!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Zheng Kaiyun was exhausted physically and mentally when dealing with this matter. After all, this case had been hanging in his mind for half a year. Unexpectedly, it ended with this tragic result.
The evil spirits are blocked in the well and will no longer do evil, but the dead will never be resurrected.
Thinking of his poor daughter, Zheng Kaiyun felt even more heartbroken.
"My lord, Miss...Miss is awake!" At this moment, a servant rushed to pass the news.
"What!" Zheng Kaiyun thought he heard it wrong.
The servant repeated it again.
Only then did Zheng Kaiyun come to his senses, with a face full of ecstasy, he rushed to the front yard, almost falling over in excitement.
Before that, Lin Yi's lightning strike technique drove away the evil infant.
Without the evil infant's devouring, Zheng Lian'er's body will definitely get better gradually.
Lin Yi had expected this point.
In the county mansion, laughter kept coming from the room.
Zheng Lian'er was already awake, half leaning on the bed, with a faint smile on her face, "Father, mother, I'm fine, my daughter is not filial, let you worry!"
Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Kaiyun were all smiling. Since their daughter got sick, they hadn't smiled like this for half a year.
"Lian'er, your appearance has also recovered. You are so beautiful. You are really blessed by the Bodhisattva!" Mrs. Zheng wept with joy and wiped away her tears.
That's right, not only did Zheng Lian'er wake up, but her appearance was also restored.
At this time, lying on the bed was a woman with black hair like a waterfall, fair skin, and beautiful appearance.
Zheng Lian'er was originally a lady of the family, a well-known talented woman with a unique temperament. Now that she has recovered her appearance, although she still looks sick, she does not conceal her brilliance.
"God bless you!" Zheng Kaiyun was so excited that he lost his composure, his palms trembled slightly, and he couldn't help touching his daughter's face lovingly, "My daughter finally doesn't have to suffer anymore!"
Only being a parent can understand the mood of Zheng Kaiyun and his wife at this time!
If possible, they are willing to bear all the pain for their daughter.
Fortunately, the suffering is over.
"Lian'er, are you still not feeling well?" Zheng Lian'er asked with concern.
"No, it's fine," Zheng Lian'er smiled, "It's just that my face is sticky, and there is a strange smell, I don't know what it is!"
Mrs. Zheng hurriedly ordered her servant girl to bring a basin to wash Zheng Lian'er's face.
"That's right!" Zheng Kaiyun slapped his forehead suddenly, "That scholar has already been imprisoned by me, oops!"
Mrs. Zheng also thought about it, feeling very annoyed, "We wrongly blamed that scholar, he saved Lian'er, my God, let him out quickly, he is our family's great benefactor!"
Zheng Kaiyun hurriedly called someone to go to the prison to release Chen Qingfeng.
When he thought about it, he was too stupid and damned to put his savior in the prison. Zheng Kaiyun simply went to the prison in person and invited Chen Qingfeng out.
Speaking of Chen Qingfeng, he scolded Lin Yi in prison, was so distraught that he wanted to hit the wall and end his life.
Fortunately, he was rescued by the jailer in time.
Hearing the news that Zheng Lian'er recovered from her illness, Chen Qingfeng was ecstatic, and laughed several times in the prison, jumping and jumping like crazy.
Obviously, he was not laughing for his escape, but for Zheng Lian'er.
The entire county was suddenly filled with joy.
This time to get rid of the evil spirits, Zheng Lian'er's strange illness was cured, and her appearance was restored. This was simply the biggest happy event in half a year.
The maids and servants were all busy, happily preparing a feast to celebrate this event.
Up and down, laughing and laughing.
Lin Yi walked to the window and looked into the room.
Zheng Lian'er has already got out of bed, walking around the house, very happy, and also looks very pretty, it seems that the disease is completely cured.
"No!" Lin Yi was a little surprised. Zheng Lian'er was just an ordinary person. After being possessed by the evil baby, a lot of life was sucked away, and she was ill for half a year. How could it be possible for her to recover within an hour or two?
It stands to reason that if Zheng Lian'er wants to change from a haggard old man to a young woman, it will take at least a few years of tossing, using various panacea to recuperate, and her body will slowly recover.
This is good, suddenly reborn!
There is a saying in the folks that "one serious illness can kill ten years", not to mention that Zheng Lian'er is not an ordinary serious illness.
It's really weird.
Could it be that what the evil infant swallowed wasn't Zheng Lian'er's life?
Lin Yi opened his spiritual aperture and carefully observed Zheng Lian'er with his spiritual eyes.
After watching it for a long time, I didn't see any abnormalities.
Perhaps, he thought too much.
