Actually, before Mother Dong could find Ji Mulang, he already discovered that Mu Chengfang was not back yet. For some reason, he always felt worried. Several times during the afternoon when he passed by the yamen's garden, he would see Mu Chengfang preparing a few tools attentively.

Many times, he would be unable to bear it in his heart. She clearly harbored kindness in her heart and wanted to use the corona's name to resolve the world's injustice, but she, herself, was too despotic just because she was a woman.

Mu Chengfang was actually quite confused. If everything was going well, they could go to a restaurant in the county, or they could go to the yamen to eat dinner and then come out after the time was ripe. But Sun Jin was hanging out in the suburbs, he did not know where he got the free time, but after catching a fish, he placed it on the fire to roast.

No matter what, she hadn't eaten.

Sun Jin was still not aware of this, when he saw Mu Chengfang staring at him, and then laughed lazily: "Why are you staring at me?"

Mu Chengfang turned her face away, not saying a single word.

Sun Jin looked at the grilled fish in his hands, and handed it over: "Alright, alright, I'll give it to you to eat, okay?"

In truth, he only wanted to wait for Mu Chengfang to say it himself, but did not expect her to stare at him from the side. Now he finally understood that if he did not speak in this life, she would probably be starving on the side.

Mu Chengfang received it, and unhappily said "thank you" to Sun Jin.

The two words that came out of her mouth were polite and distant, and when she said them now, they were filled with a sense of eeriness. What made him even more confused was that Sun Jin did not seem to be very angry, but instead thought that it was especially interesting.

Damn it, he seemed to be a little more concerned about this so-called "Little Chen".

The moment her gaze landed, Sun Jin seemed to have sensed her gaze and their gazes met. Something seemed to have ignited in the air. The two of them felt their hearts beating wildly. It was unknown whether it was because they were secretly looking at each other, or because they did not know anything else.

Sun Jin, on the other hand, was a little more clear-headed, and he was suddenly a little worried.

Recently, when he had interacted with Mu Chengfang, he felt that he had trusted this new young man from corona a little too much, and the two of them were especially close. He had a nagging feeling … Did he really have some Long Yang obsession?

Mu Chengfang quickly retracted her gaze.

The two of them no longer spoke.

After a while, the sky gradually darkened. Sun Jin felt that he couldn't wait any longer, so he decided to bring Mu Chengfang to find the Zhang Tu Hu's wife's corpse.

The two of them had been here before, so they weren't unfamiliar with this place. Right now, the two wanted to find her body, but they did not know where Zhang Tu Hu had buried her wife's body.

Mu Chengfang said: "The last time I saw him, he seemed to be digging the ground. Could he have been buried there?"

Sun Jin shook his head. He had thought of this before. However, it was rumored that Zhang Tu Hu had become weird due to his wife's death, which meant that he still cared about his wife. If he cared about his wife, then it would be impossible for his wife's grave to be dug up.

Not long after, Mu Chengfang thought of another place.

In the clearing behind the thatched cottage.

Other than this, there seemed to be no other empty space.

However, after the two of them had circled around, they suddenly discovered something strange.

"Here... There seem to be traces of being burned. " Mu Chengfang crouched down and saw some burnt roots. Not only that, there was also a large empty space here. It seemed like someone had lived here before.

Sun Jin also noticed it and his gaze turned deep and serene.

After taking a few steps, he seemed to have felt that the mud on the ground had been disturbed. As he walked, he felt that the place was softer than any other places. Mu Chengfang pulled Sun Jin and said: "If we were to bury the corpse here, it is very possible that it is here."

Sun Jin glanced at it, and Mu Chengfang immediately retreated. The two of them had an invisible coordination between their actions, and soon after, Sun Jin found a tool to start digging the ground.

Mu Chengfang stared at his every move. Although his movements were that of a farmer, but perhaps it was because he was born with a noble temperament, even this kind of rough work made him look extremely graceful.

Not long after, he found a relatively hard spot.

The two of them looked at each other. Most likely, this was the tomb of Zhang Tu Hu's wife.

Mu Chengfang went up to open the coffin, and the moment she did, he smelt a terrible stench. The two heads tilted outwards, and Mu Chengfang turned back to look.

"This Zhang Tu Hu's wife has been preserved quite nicely."

Sun Jin wanted to help her, but before he could do so, his hand had already been slapped away.

"Don't move." Her expression was somewhat nervous as she looked at the corpse. Under the moonlight, the expression on its face was extremely strange.

"What's wrong?"

She must have found something, so Sun Jin did not dare to act blindly without thinking.

"You see, her entire body is black and purple. This person was poisoned to death."

Borrowing the help of the moonlight, the light was not too good either. Therefore, Mu Chengfang was simply unable to differentiate exactly what kind of poison she had been infected with.

If it was some sort of poison, it might rot if he touched it.

"The conclusion has already been reached. Let's close the coffin."

The two of them took care of it again, and finally the grave of Zhang Tu Hu's wife returned to its original state.

"I can't stay here for long." Sun Jin said and quickly left with Mu Chengfang. In fact, he was born to be a little lazy and wouldn't be in a hurry if he hadn't heard some strange noises.

When the two of them arrived at the entrance of the county, Sun Jin finally spoke, "It looks like this Zhang Tu Hu must be hiding something. According to him, his wife is really dead, and he can never go to the police. "

There were only two possibilities if he did not report the officer. The first was that he wanted to hide something, and the second was that he was the real killer.

Although things had taken a new turn, it was the complete opposite of what Wang Weide had done. The relationship between the Zhang Tu Hu and Wang Weide was a bit forced, but now that there was an additional murder case involved, Mu Chengfang could only calm down and slowly clear his mind.

But just as the two were about to enter the Hushan County, Sun Jin's face suddenly changed: "Retreat!"

Mu Chengfang had not reacted, she was clearly fine a moment ago, why was Sun Jin suddenly speaking in such a harsh tone?

At the same time, a few black-clad men appeared before the two of them. The leader of the black-clothed men stared at Mu Chengfang, his eyes cold, as though he was looking at a dead man.

This gaze …

Although Mu Chengfang could not see it clearly, when she thought about how she was almost dragged into the alley and killed by others, the feeling the black clothed man gave him was no different from the feeling she got when she looked at the man wearing the bamboo hat.

Mu Chengfang subconsciously took a step back. Looking at Sun Jin's alert appearance, he said hesitantly: "They seem to be after me. Now that two fists cannot fight four hands, why don't you, Sir, leave first. "

"How could I leave you behind?"

Sun Jin turned his head, his expression as gentle as water.

Mu Chengfang's heart skipped a beat, before she could say anything, the leader of the group said disdainfully, "You think you can run when you're about to die? Both of you, die today! "

With that, a few of them rushed towards Mu Chengfang and Sun Jin at the same time.

They all had long swords in their hands, but Sun Jin didn't have any weapons. He grabbed Mu Chengfang and pulled her behind him, then said seriously: "Be careful."

Mu Chengfang nodded.

After a few moves, Sun Jin dodged in a sorry state. His martial arts were not bad, but because he had to take care of Mu Chengfang, he was unavoidably at a disadvantage. The few sword moves were all Mu Chengfang's moves, and never would have thought that Sun Jin would rather use his own body to block so that Mu Chengfang would not be injured!

Both of them were slightly startled.

Mu Chengfang saw a cut on Sun Jin's arm, and his heart ached slightly.

In the modern era, she received very little care and concern. She didn't expect that after coming to this ancient era, there would be so many people who sincerely cared for her.

Sun Jin himself also couldn't understand, he wasn't a young hero who liked to try and show off, but he couldn't stand to see Mu Chengfang getting injured. Especially when the sword came over, he had almost subconsciously made such a move.

Could it be that he really liked Mu Chengfang?

But the Mu Chengfang in his eyes, was a man!

Did he really like a man?

While he was still stunned, another silver sword pierced through the gap between the two of them, blocking both Mu Chengfang and Sun Jin.
