After the parent finished speaking, he looked at Shen Qiqi cautiously and nervously, fearing that Shen Qiqi would get angry and ignore their child. People born in Yin years, Yin months, and Yin hours are rare. This is certainly different from ordinary people. People with this kind of fate tend to be Yin, making them the favorite targets of evil spirits.
People born in this time period are generally regarded as so-called evil stars by the world and are very unpopular. It is no wonder that the parent did not tell the truth.
Seeing the other person rubbing his fingers nervously, Shen Qiqi felt dissatisfied, but she thought that he was hiding something out of protection for his own child, so she didn't have the heart to blame him. She nodded and said, "Okay." Then she looked at everyone, "Is there anyone else who provided a false birth date?"
Seeing that everyone shook their heads and said no, Shen Qiqi let them continue.
"My child has a habit of sleepwalking. Sometimes he falls asleep in one place and wakes up in another!"
"My child has six toes on his left foot!"
“My child didn’t start talking until he was four years old!”
"The old scholar in the village said that my son is the god of literature who has descended to earth and will become a prime minister or a top scholar in the future!"
…
Everyone talked at once, expressing their thoughts without reservation about any abnormalities they thought were there.
After listening to their words, Shen Qiqi's mouth twitched. She thought to herself that this was not an anomaly. After a moment of silence, she continued with the next step.
"Third question: Under what circumstances were your children abducted?"
This question was easy to answer, as it was just a statement of the actual situation. Everyone started talking again:
"My two children are only five years old this year. Because they are still young, they have always slept in the same room with us. The youngest one still slept in my arms, but the next morning... probably when the rooster crowed for the second time, I opened my eyes and saw that the child was gone..."
The person who was speaking was a woman. She kept wiping the corners of her eyes with her sleeves. Her eyes were red and tears were falling like beads from a broken string.
Shen Qiqi tried to comfort her a few times, but seeing that there was no way to appease her, she had to give up and turned to look at the next person.
The second person's situation was similar to the previous one. The child was lying next to him before the lights were turned off at night. However, when he opened his eyes in the middle of the night, the child had disappeared out of thin air.
When I asked further, the situation was similar. The child was lying in bed well before I closed my eyes and went to sleep, but I woke up in the middle of the night to find that the child was gone.
During this process, no one heard any noise and the child was abducted without anyone knowing.
This situation was within Shen Qiqi's expectations: any evil spirit would have some small skills, so using a trick or making people fall asleep would not be a problem.
Therefore, in the third round of questioning, Shen Qiqi still didn't gain much.
The clues she has now are that the abducted children are all twins, aged between five and ten.
It is also a very important clue. After all, twins are rare, and the scope can be narrowed down a lot at once.
Shen Qiqi looked at everyone: "Has the city chief arrived?"
The city chief is the person who is in charge of all the affairs of Yuzhou City. If the people have any demands or if there are evil spirits appearing somewhere and the clan needs to step in to resolve the issue, the city chief will report to the clan on behalf of the people.
To put it simply, he is a representative figure of the people of Yuzhou.
As soon as Shen Qiqi finished speaking, a cheerful voice responded loudly: "I'm coming! I'm here... Everyone, make way, let me in!"
The crowd immediately made way for them, and a middle-aged man in a deep blue robe squeezed out of the crowd, ran all the way to a stop three steps in front of Shen Qiqi.
"My humble name is Li Chengru, and I'm here to meet the Second Miss." The middle-aged man bowed respectfully, then half-bent over and asked Shen Qiqi, "The Second Miss is looking for me, but what instructions do you have?"
Li Chengru's face was covered in sweat and his complexion was red. It was obvious that he had been running all the way here.
Shen Qiqi looked at the few trembling beads of sweat on the other person's eyebrows and kindly reminded him: "The sweat on your eyebrows is about to fall into your eyes, wipe it first."
And slow down your pace at the same time.
The breathing was so heavy that she could feel the other person's breath even from three steps away.
It still smells like garlic, and when combined with the smell of sweat coming from the body, the smell... can be said to be very touching.
It makes one's stomach churn.
After Shen Qiqi finished speaking, she moved her fingers slightly behind her back, and was about to secretly cast a cleansing talisman on Li Chengru, but Xie Beiming was faster than her and quietly cast a barrier between the two of them.
All the smells from the outside world were instantly isolated. Not to mention the smell emanating from Li Chengru, even the strong or heavy body odors of other people were isolated.
Young Master Xie is a careful person. The barrier he set down not only blocks out the external air, but also automatically emits a faint fragrance, like waterweed after rain, which is refreshing and invigorating.
Breathing in the faint fragrance in her nostrils, Shen Qiqi's originally drowsy mind became clearer, and she felt much more refreshed.
She turned her head and looked at Master Xie, who was sitting at the stone table without saying a word, watching her handle things silently the whole time.
Mr. Xie was also looking at her.
When their eyes met, Master Xie curled his thin lips and gave her a faint smile.
The sunlight just happened to fall on his face. In the sunlight, the young man's handsome face shone brightly, dazzling the eyes.
Shen Qiqi looked at Mr. Xie's cool and handsome face, and felt that her mind had just come clear, but after he smiled like that, she began to feel dazed again.
Monster, this is so beautiful!
Why didn’t she notice Mr. Xie’s beauty in her previous life?
No wonder she was blinded in the end - such a pair of eyes without pupils, why not blind them? Was she going to take them into the coffin?
Shen Qiqi swallowed her saliva and quickly turned her eyes away from the evildoer beside her, lest her soul be seduced away by him.
Xie Beiming, who had been ignored for a long time and wanted to say something to her under the cover of the barrier: "......"
Mr. Xie shook his head with amusement, then sat back on his bench obediently, continuing to admire the charming aura that his Qiqi unconsciously exuded when she was in charge of the situation.
Practitioners cultivate not only their physical body and soul, but also their state of mind.
If your state of mind cannot keep up with the speed of your cultivation, you will be easily attacked by inner demons in the future.
The cultivation of the state of mind is also the most difficult. No matter how many rare treasures and elixirs you eat, it will not work. You need to experience some things personally to become strong.
This is also the reason why Xie Beiming did not intervene throughout the process.
He was tempering Shen Qiqi's state of mind.
The person who set a trap for Shen Qiqi behind the scenes is the best test subject.
However, when he thought about someone daring to plot against Shen Qiqi in this way behind her back, Xie Beiming's expression turned cold.
He lowered his eyes, and his long crow-feather eyelashes gently covered his lower eyelid, hiding the cold light in his eyes.
