Luo Yuanqing's home was indeed a bit remote. He walked around two alleys before he arrived. If it weren't for Lin Hai's leadership, it would be so easy to find.

However, after all, the scenery here is quite beautiful, which may be why Luo Yuanqing chose this place.

Lin Hai obviously has been here more than once, so the servants here know Lin Hai, the captain, so someone immediately informed him.

After a while, Luo Xie appeared in front of everyone.

Li Yu was slightly stunned at this.

It’s such a coincidence that County Magistrate Luo is not here?

"Sorry, Lao Luo is seriously ill now and cannot get up to entertain everyone."

Luo Xie's words surprised everyone slightly.

Then, under the leadership of Luo Xie family, Li Yu and his group came to Luo Yuanqing's room.

Then, finally, he saw Luo Yuanqing's appearance at this time, and was immediately shocked.

"Mr. County Magistrate, why did you suddenly become like this!" Lin Hai said in surprise.

Three days ago, when he came to visit the county magistrate, the county magistrate just looked a little weak, but he just disappeared in just three days. Why has the county magistrate's body changed so much!

Luo Yuanqing opened his mouth weakly. When he wanted to say something, Li Yu stopped him and took out a pill from his arms and asked Luo Yuanqing to take it.

About half an hour later, Luo Yuanqing's complexion was obviously many times better, and he no longer looked like a dying person.

Luo Xie, who was standing beside him, cried with joy and hurriedly wanted to thank Li Yu.

After stopping Luo Xie's thank-you salute, Li Yu asked Luo Yuanqing: "Mr. Luo County Master, when did you start this situation?"

Perhaps I understood something from Li Yu's expression, Luo Yuanqing said solemnly: "Five days ago, I suddenly got infected with wind and cold. At first I didn't care much, but I just invited a doctor. After taking the pulse, the doctor also said he was infected with wind and cold, so he prescribed a dose of medicine for me."

"But, on the night three days ago, my condition suddenly worsened sharply. I couldn't invite the doctor again. The doctor couldn't tell what the reason was. The same was true for the next few doctors, but they just prescribed a lot of tonics for me."

"Although I took a lot of tonics, it didn't work at all. Instead, I felt that my health was getting worse and worse. I had no choice but to wait until you saw me."

"Three days ago, the condition suddenly worsened..."

Li Yu lowered his head and thoughts slightly, then looked up at Luo Yuanqing: "Has something different happened during this period?"

Luo Yuanqing shook his head and said, "I have also tried to find out if something strange has happened, but I have not found anything."

Li Hongxiu, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Can you have any problems with the first doctor who treats you?"

"Won't."

Luo Yuanqing decisively denied: "That doctor is a nearby doctor. He has been practicing medicine for more than ten years. He has no reason. Moreover, I have asked someone to check the medicine he prescribed, and there is no problem. It is a very common medicine to treat wind and cold."

Just as Li Yu was about to continue saying something, he noticed that Ruolingxue, who was on the other side, looked strange and asked quickly: "Lingxue, have you discovered something?"

Ruolingxue frowned slightly and said, "I don't know if it's an illusion. I always think this room is weird. It seems that there are more things that shouldn't be in this room."

Hearing this, everyone subconsciously observed the room.

Among them, Li Yu seemed to have caught something and asked Luo Yuanqing and his wife: "What's new in this room recently?"

"It's this set of seats. This set of seats was moved in half a month ago. Is it a problem with this set of seats?"

Luo Xie pointed to the set of seats, four stools and one chair in the room, which looked quite new.

Li Yuzai stared at the set of seats carefully. After a while, his eyes finally fell on one of the stools. This stool gave him a little strange feeling, as if something was hidden inside.

Turning his head, Li Yu and Luo Yuanqing said, "Can I take this stool apart and take a look?"

Luo Yuanqing and his wife naturally nodded.

So Li Yu took apart the stool in a few seconds. Finally, he found something inside a hind leg of the stool, a black bead, about the size of a normal adult male little finger.

Ruolingxue said in a deep voice: "This is the bead."

Everyone looked at her.

Ruolingxue continued to say in a deep voice: "The devouring bead has only one function, which is to devour the vitality of a living person. It is usually when people fall asleep at night, because it can devour the vitality of a living person. It is still good at the beginning, but as time goes by, its devourment will become faster and faster. It will take about three to six days to devour the vitality of a living person."

Li Yu stared at the black bead in his hand and said, "It seems that this is the culprit that caused Luo County Magistrate's great loss of life."

"Wait...I have a doubt."

Li Hongxiu raised his doubts: "Just just now, Sister Lingxue said that this dark bead usually takes only three to six days to swallow the vitality of a living person, but this new set of seats has been moved in for half a month."

Regarding this doubt, Luo Yuanqing explained: "I didn't live in this room originally, but I only lived in this room after being infected with wind and cold."

Ruolingxue said again: "There is another important thing. The beads are actually refined by humans. If the person who refines them is far away, the beads will not have the function of devouring vitality, and it is just an ordinary bead."

Li Yu continued: "That is to say...in fact, this is done by someone on purpose."

Luo Yuanqing turned his head and looked at Luo Xie's family and asked, "Where did you customize this set of seats?"

Luo Xie said: "It was customized from Zhang Laosan. In the past, all the wooden furniture in the house was customized from him."

Li Yu said: "It seems we have to go to Zhang Lao San's place in person."

Luo Xie hesitated for a moment and said, "Then... Lao Luo is now..."

Li Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, County Magistrate Luo has nothing to do now. He just needs to recuperate for a month to recover."

Finally, Li Yu and his group went to Zhang Laosan and found the whole story.

It turned out that Zhang Laosan was controlled by an evil cultivator. The evil cultivator controlled Zhang Laosan to stuff all the beads he had made into the furniture, with the purpose of absorbing the vitality of the people who bought these furniture, so that his evil skills that had been stagnant for a long time were broken through.

Fortunately, this evil cultivator had just started to act and did not cause any casualties.

However, Li Yu naturally would not be ruthless in such an evil cultivator, and sent him to hell with one sword.

......

In a blink of an eye, another month has passed.

In this month, a major event happened that made the entire Great Zhou tremble. The rebellion occurred in Bazhou, and an unprecedented rebellion almost affected the entire Bazhou.

The only thing worth being grateful is that this great rebellion has not yet affected Yongyang County, which made everyone in Yongyang County feel relieved, and no one wants to be affected by the war.

Of course, the governments of Yongyang County did not dare to slack off. They quickly strengthened the defense of Yongyang County gates overnight, for fear that the rebels would turn to this small county town.

On this day, Li Yu, who was invited by Luo Yuanqing, had just come out of Luo Yuanqing when a figure suddenly appeared in the Yuguang.

After a little stunned, Li Yu suddenly looked at the figure. The figure was wearing a light minty long skirt. The breeze blew her skirt and was looking at him with a smile.

Who else could it be if it weren't for the Liu Da Fairy?

"Miss Mengli!"

Li Yu showed a look of surprise, but he didn't expect to meet her here.

A hidden, uninhabited corner.

"Mr. Magistrate, the little girl is very happy to see your surprise look. It's not in vain that the little girl is obsessed with you during this period."

As soon as we met, the Liu Da Fairy started to act evil.

"Ahem..."

Li Yu coughed a few times and asked, "Why are you here?"

Liu Mengli shyly lowered her head and whispered: "Little woman, because she misses the magistrate very much, your figure often appears in the little girl's dreams. In the dream, you told the magistrate that you would be here, so the magistrate appeared here. I didn't expect that you are really here..."

Li Yu: “…”

"etc……"

Li Yu suddenly thought of something, his face became solemn, and he said, "Is such a big rebellion happening in Bazhou this time related to your Demon Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Mengli's expression froze slightly, and the charming expression on her face disappeared.

She knew the answer without answering her.

The Demon Cult is indeed related to this great rebellion in Bazhou!

After taking a breath, Li Yu asked, "What is the purpose of this rebellion in the Demon Cult?"

Liu Mengli shook her head slightly: "I just followed her, specifically... I don't know what their purpose is, but I just know that they value this matter very much..."

"Mengli."

Suddenly, Li Yu raised his hand and grabbed Liu Mengli's tender gloves.

"You...you, what do you want to do?"

Liu Mengli panicked and subconsciously struggled to pull her hand out of Li Yu's big hand. In the end, she failed to succeed. Her breathing became rapid, and her towering chest suddenly fell.

Li Yu grabbed Liu Meng's hands and said caringly: "Mengli, why don't you take the opportunity to escape from the Demon Cult now? The Demon Cult is now acting more and more unscrupulously. Now, it has even launched such a big rebellion to achieve a certain goal, causing the separation of wives and children, and the family to be destroyed... I am afraid that you will fall more and more into the quagmire of the Demon Cult and will be difficult to escape in the future."

Liu Mengli shook her head: "Master, she is as kind as a mountain to me. She raised me and taught me a lot of skills. I cannot abandon her. But don't worry, I will not have anything to do, and I will not do anything that is harmful to the world. I promise you."

Li Yu didn't force her, but just reminded her: "Then... you should be careful in everything. If you encounter any difficulties, you must tell me what you can't solve."

I don’t know how long it took, and I don’t know what the two of them were talking about. I saw that the two shadows under the sunlight had already been tightly attached together, like a shadow.

......

"what you do?"

Li Yu reached out and pressed Li Hongxiu's head back, looking at her with a puzzled look.
