Early this morning.
Lu Yunxi put all the valuable things in the house into the space, and only carried a small package with some food in it, and was about to go out to explore the world.
However, before leaving the village, a scream that resounded through the sky was heard.
She couldn't help but pause, hesitated for a moment, and turned back to where the sound came from.
The sound came from the end of the village. She was almost at the entrance of the village. When she arrived, there were already quite a few people gathered there.
When she looked up and saw the familiar house, her heart sank.
Something happened to the Li family!
She suddenly stopped where she was, her feet felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't lift them up.
It was not until she saw Daya's dazed back through the crowd that her stiff body slowly recovered.
She took a few deep breaths before approaching Daya: "Daya, what happened..."
She had only said half of her words when she saw the familiar figure not far away, who was lying quietly on the ground with his eyes closed.
"Grandma...Li?" Her pupils suddenly shrank and her lips moved slightly.
Grandma Li, who had taken care of her after her parents passed away, who would personally make osmanthus cake for her, and who would come to accompany her at night... just passed away like that.
Looking at the wound on Grandma Li's chest, Lu Yunxi's eyes burned with rage.
"Xiaoxi!" Li Daya next to her took a while to notice her, and like a baby bird seeing its mother, she threw herself into her arms.
Lu Yunxi held Li Daya quietly, letting her cry in his arms. She cried heartbreakingly.
She held Daya in one hand and gently patted her back with the other, and her emotions gradually calmed down.
Her eyes kept scanning everything in front of her, trying to see through every clue.
Grandma Li was a kind person. Although she was old-fashioned and nagging, she was not a bad person. She had never even said bad words to anyone, so she shouldn't have gotten herself into any serious trouble.
If it wasn't a revenge killing, then could it be... a murder of passion?! That's even more impossible!
Is it for money?
But as far as she knew, the Li family wasn't a wealthy family! How could anyone do something for money?!
Lu Yunxi felt like his head was in a knot and he couldn't figure anything out.
Until Li Daya was tired of crying and fell asleep in her arms.

Lu Yunxi, who was busy running around outside day and night, finally got some clues.
"You said it was an adventurer?" Why would the adventurer attack Grandma Li?
"Yes, you know those adventurers always like to hide in trees. This morning, an adventurer climbed up the Li family's wall..."
Lu Yunxi followed the person who was talking and found the adventurer.
The two men stood far apart and spoke casually, and the adventurer had no idea that they were staring at him.
"Are you sure it's this guy?"
"I'm sure you should be careful! This guy is really ruthless. I don't know how Li...provoked him?"
Lu Yunxi's eyes casually swept over the adventurer not far away, and his face was deeply imprinted in his heart.
After paying the reward, she wandered around the area, found out the man's address, and then returned home.
At night, the villagers all went to sleep, leaving only a few adventurers wandering outside.
Taking advantage of the night, Lu Yunxi leaped a few times and arrived at the place he had scouted in the morning.
Inside the room, candlelight was bright and the men's loud laughter could be heard from inside.
Lu Yunxi hid in the dark, quietly watching the hustle and bustle in the room, with a slight movement of his eyebrows.
Are there so many people in the house?!
Just as she was thinking about whether she should find a way to lure that person out, the person inside suddenly spoke.
"Hahaha! It's really fun here! It's not like outside, where you get wanted for killing someone!"
"What?! Chi Yan, you actually killed someone?!" a man was shocked.
"What?! Don't you know?! There's an old woman at the back of the mountain, nagging me all the time. Sometimes she tells me to take a bath every day, sometimes she tells me to coax a woman! Me! Chi Yan! Need to coax a woman?!" The man who spoke was exactly the person Lu Yunxi was looking for. A strange light flashed in his gloomy eyes, and he laughed heartily. "I don't have any woman I want! Why would I need that damn old woman to nag me?! I'm so annoyed by her that I just got rid of her!"
"I heard that there are a few tough guys in the village. I'm afraid they will cause trouble for you! You'd better be more restrained these days!" someone advised worriedly.
"Oh! You are too cowardly! What powerful characters could there be in this village?! I'll be waiting right here!" Chi Yan sneered, a cruel light flashing in his eyes. "Let me tell you, it's a great idea to take action here! Tomorrow I'll look for suitable prey... or maybe a woman! Kill one a day, and by then the whole village will be dead at my hands. Who knows, I might even achieve something!"
Lu Yunxi stood outside, quietly listening to the people inside talking nonsense, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
*
The night gradually deepened.
The village fell completely quiet.
"Who are you?!" Chi Yan shouted, dodged the arrow that was piercing him, and stared at her with his eyes.
Lu Yunxi's expression was cold, completely ignoring his words. After all this talk, she had finally figured out that this guy was a wanted criminal! But for some reason, he hadn't been caught and was out there harming people. From what he said, he was planning to attack the villagers again! This guy was too dangerous, unlike the previous thief, and he had to be dealt with seriously!
