her left eye is unusual

Chapter 1201

Su Xin turned her head to look at the enchantment behind her eyes, and felt a burst of rejoicing in her heart.

Fortunately, I was not in a hurry to leave just now, otherwise, the foul smell inside would rush out, which would be another catastrophe for the people of Fengzhi County.

Finally, when the scorching sun was shining brightly, the billowing black mist in the enchantment gradually became thinner and then became clear under the sunlight.

In the end, only a pit nearly one meter deep and three meters square was left in the courtyard, and the surrounding ground was also burned into black scorched earth.

Su Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and picked up the magic talisman on the ground. There was still a little energy left on it, and it could be used again, so it couldn't be wasted.

As soon as things happened here, Su Xin planned to go to Xing's tailor shop to have a look.

Although I already knew in my heart that nothing would be left of such a strange fire, I would feel more at ease after taking a look.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he met He Yan, who was running out of breath. Seeing her, he hurriedly said, "It's just right, Master Su, our lord invites you..."

Su Xin: "Oh? Where?"

He Yan: "Xing's ready-to-wear shop..."

Su Xin: "Exactly, I'm planning to go there."

While walking, He Yan started talking to Su Xin.

"Oh, this time it's really evil. I heard from the neighbors that the fire started very suddenly. I didn't even see the smoke before, and then it burned up. It happened that everyone was making breakfast or something. , so as soon as I saw the fire, I immediately took things to help. The ready-made clothing store had two fronts, and hundreds of neighbors went to it at that time. It stands to reason that even if each person has a basin of water, they can put out the fire no matter what. But, but... In just a blink of an eye, there is only one frame left in that house..."

Su Xin: "A frame?"

Most of the houses here are made of bricks and stones with walls covered with tiles. The beams, doors and windows are all made of wood. Some people use wood and woven mats to suspend the ceiling, and then paint it with white ash to keep it warm and look good.

Even if the whole house is burned, there will be walls left, how could it be a "frame".

What's more, from the discovery of the fire to the fire fighting, it takes at most a quarter of an hour or two, and it is impossible to burn so fast.

Especially the beams and logs thick as buckets would take at least one day and midnight to burn out...

He Yan: "When we went there, we saw that there was only one frame left burning. Really, it was just... this kind of skeleton... very much like the kind of paper house burned for the dead, but it was magnified many times. .Now there is nothing, only a thin layer of black ash on the ground..."

He Yan gestured to Su Xin while talking.

A house of paper?But the tailor shop has been here for decades, how is it possible!

When Su Xin arrived, she saw a row of houses passing by, and there was only a gap in that place.

Just like what He Yan said, there was nothing at the gap, only a layer of black ash remained on the ground, and a few pieces of black charcoal that had just been burned and traces of bamboo stalks remained.

Su Xin bent down and picked up one. The bamboo stem was only as thick as a finger. What is it if it is not the skeleton of a paper house!
There are no walls, no beams... nothing, just like a cardboard house, it was completely burnt down.

Su Xin thought of the "back room" that Xiu Xin mentioned before, and measured the approximate location with her eyes.

His eyes fell on a pile of rocks, and there were a few burnt weeds beside the rocks.

Su Xin drew out ink blood and dug away the surrounding rocks and floating soil, revealing the color of colored paper.

Su Xin put the spiritual power in his hand, grabbed it out, and saw that it was a small person in paper clothes, with a lifelike face.

A familiar breath came.

It seems that this is the root cause of the curse that "senior brother" had cast on Grandpa Xing.

When the little man saw the sun, the breath above dissipated, and the curse had nothing to rely on, and it completely lost its effect.

There was a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, if he had dug up this place and burned this thing back then, perhaps nothing would have happened later.

After all, Grandpa Xing didn't do anything to offend senior brother. Senior brother wanted to curse, as long as Grandpa Xing didn't accept the move, the other party would have nothing to do.

It's a pity that the grandpa of the Xing family thought that his push was the cause of his brother's death, and he watched his master being poisoned to death in front of his eyes. He felt fear and guilt in his heart, which made him jealous.

He wanted to keep the secrets of the past, and burned the paper clothes for this little man time and time again, so it became his biggest weakness.

Three generations were used to cover up a secret, but in the end the secret was exposed and the family was ruined.

Alas, it's all useless now that everything is reduced to dust.

With a thought of Su Xin, a wisp of blue flame shot out from between her fingers, burning the paper figurine to ashes, and thick smoke came out. Fortunately, it was a sunny day, and it dissipated into the air in an instant.

The matter of the Xing family was settled, but the clue about the paper piercing man was broken.

Su Xin is going to visit the paper-making shop in the city.

Because according to Qi Fu's report, the paper-making shop in the town near them was newly opened.

Paper-making is also a craft, which needs to be passed on from master to apprentice, so I plan to go to the city to see if there are any apprentices who have opened shops in the surrounding villages and towns.

Before leaving, Su Xin went to say hello to Fang County Magistrate.

Before she could say goodbye, Fang County Magistrate bowed to her first, and said: "I have not treated Master Su well before, please forgive me."

Su Xin hurriedly responded while returning the gift: "My lord, you are welcome. What else is your lord doing?"

She had seen countless people, and when she saw the other person's appearance, she knew that there was something she wanted, but since she was already here, she asked directly.

The magistrate of Fang County laughed dryly, "Well...the former Japanese county received a report saying that things in the house would always change for no reason...the county checked it personally, and there was nothing suspicious, and these...it's not easy to record in the case file So, if Master Su can help to take a look, the county would be very grateful."

Su Xin: "Oh, that's easy to say. I'm in this line of work. It's rare for adults to be so magnanimous and considerate to the people."

The magistrate of Fang County showed embarrassment, "Oh... To be honest, someone reported the case before, but at the time the county thought it was grandstanding, so it didn't take it to heart. Later, something happened to the paper-making shop, and the two The apprentice died, and the county can only hope that there will be no second tragedy."

Su Xin also became serious and asked, "When did this happen?"

"About two years ago, it was a paper-making shop in the west of the city. It was Qi Zhuang, the owner of the shop, who reported the case. I asked the yamen to follow him to see. There was nothing, so I ignored it. A month later, the people inside They all died unexpectedly. In the end, the shop owner moved away. Now there is only a paper-making shop in the east of the city."

When Su Xin heard what Fang County Magistrate said, she couldn't help interjecting: "You just said that there was an accident in the store, and people died suddenly. In the end, only the boss survived?"
