Chapter 185: Losing the Sheep is a Real Murderer
Let's say that Wu Renliang ran all the way to chase and kill Du Qiang, but Du Qiang slipped away one step earlier, and it was not easy to track down a fugitive person in the vast mountains, he ran wildly for a while, and when he saw that he couldn't find Du Qiang's trace, he had to give up. He secretly said in his heart: "For the time being, spare the life of this dog thief, the top priority is to go to Qiaoling Town to inquire about Qingfeng and their news." As he spoke, he walked briskly in the direction of Qiaoling Town.
As he walked, the sky gradually darkened, and Wu Renliang unconsciously walked into the village that Du Qiang had come to before. I saw that there were several villagers around the rice field at the entrance of the village talking about something, and one of them said: "Old man, the situation is not right, this is the third time that someone in our village has lost sheep recently, do you think it will be some tigers, wolves and other fierce beasts in the mountains?"
Another said: "If this kind of beast really comes, it will be difficult to deal with it, there are not many hunters in our village, how can we deal with such a beast?"
Another said: "It's too early to say this, after all, no one has seen these beasts with their own eyes, and the loss of sheep may have another hidden reason." ”
The villagers were talking about it, and Wu Renliang stepped forward and said: "Excuse me, I am a person who practices martial arts and cultivates the Tao, and I want to go to Qiaoling Town to inquire about the news of a few brothers and sisters of the same sect, I pass through the treasure land today, I wonder if I can let you stay overnight?"
A villager saw Wu Renliang talking and said happily: "The hero said that he is a person who practices martial arts and cultivates, I don't know if he can fight the beast and take the villain?"
Wu Renliang said with a smile: "After many years of descending demons and eliminating demons, there are still some means, but if you just deal with some fierce beasts and villains, you don't think it's a problem." ”
The villagers were overjoyed and said: "Okay, the hero is really a charcoal in the snow, recently many families in the village have lost sheep, we are worried about this matter, if the hero can help us, let alone spend a night, you can live in the village as long as you want, let's entertain the hero with good wine and meat every day." ”
Wu Renliang said with a smile: "I can handle this little thing confidently." As he spoke, he walked into the village surrounded by many villagers.
Wu Renliang had dinner at the village chief's house, and then many villagers came to the village chief's house to discuss countermeasures.
The village chief said: "There are also days and nights, the first time is at night, and the last two times are during the day. ”
Wu Renliang said: "Then have you found out whether it was a beast or some thief who stole the sheep?"
One villager said: "There are often wild beasts in our mountains, and if there is no other situation, they will be secretly captured by wild beasts." ”
Other villagers also agreed with this view, Wu Renliang said: "In this case, tomorrow I will accompany everyone to herd sheep, as long as this beast who steals sheep dares to show up, I will take it down." ”
The villagers were overjoyed, with smiles on their faces, and everyone gossiped again, and then dispersed.
And said that Du Qiang was treated coldly by the villagers and lay in the dirty and smelly cowshed, tossing and turning, he secretly said in his heart: "Damn, there are really unforeseen circumstances, people have good and bad luck, think I Du Qiang has never suffered this kind of anger in his life, and now he has to sleep in the cowshed, how to behave if it is spread out in the future." ”
He thought about it and finally pointed the finger at Wu Renliang, and scolded Wu Renliang back and forth hundreds of times in his heart.
The next day, Du Qiang woke up from his sleep, and all the villagers in the village began to be busy with their own livelihoods, and no one cared about Du Qiang, who slept in the cowshed and had nothing to do with him. Du Qiang woke up thirsty and hungry, he was patting the weeds on his body while thinking about where to go to ask for some food, suddenly Wu Renliang's voice sounded in his ears, and he was shocked in his heart: "What, why is this evil star in the village, have I been discovered." As he spoke, he quickly wiped two handfuls of soil on his face.
He cautiously followed the sound, and sure enough, he saw Wu Renliang and several villagers talking not far away, Du Qiang exclaimed: "Could it be that you are inquiring about my news, the big thing is not good, I have to slip away quickly." As he spoke, he sneaked away into the mountains on one side.
In fact, Wu Renliang didn't find out about Du Qiang's existence at all, he and several villagers were discussing yesterday's plan, and saw that many villagers came, and they were all armed with knives and sticks, Wu Renliang smiled: "Folks, if we go like this, it will be difficult to find the beasts that lost sheep today?"
A villager said: "What does Wu Daxia say, this beast that stole the sheep is a fierce beast, let's all be armed to get him." ”
Wu Renliang said: "This can't be done, we have to lure out this beast who stole sheep first, everyone goes out like this, I'm afraid we can only scare this beast away." ”
The village chief said: "Wu Daxia has a point, let's do as he says." ”
Wu Renliang said: "Today's sheep herding is still the same as usual, just those two guys follow me, what should the others do, Wu promises you, you will find out the beast who stole the sheep." So saying, he and the two men drove a large flock of sheep towards the mountain.
It turned out that the sheep were not stolen by tigers, wolves and other fierce beasts as the villagers had guessed, but the group of ghouls who had escaped from the plague land that Du Qiang had encountered before. Today, the ghouls were foraging for food near the outside of the cave again, and one of the ghouls complained: "Damn, in the past, it was those human idiots who brought us food, but now we have to find out that it is a chore to find out by ourselves." ”
Another ghoul said: "Don't complain, it's not what it used to be, the good days of the past are over, a few of us are lucky, at least we saved our lives, and now we can find anything to eat." ”
A group of ghouls searched around, and suddenly one of the ghouls shouted excitedly, "Look, there are sheep over there, it seems that our food has been lost." As he spoke, the other ghouls hurriedly followed.
Just as the ghouls were attacking the sheep, Wu Renliang, who was hiding in the shadows, had already seen everything in front of him clearly, and he secretly said in his heart: "It turns out that you ghosts, dare to act recklessly here, then don't blame me for being unkind to you." Saying that, the Great Zhou Tianzhen Qi in his body urged with all his might, and then quickly shot out several rays of qi like a wind and rushed towards the ghouls.
Several ghouls were caught off guard, and two of them were slapped to the ground and screamed, and the other three were so frightened that they ran away, quite fast. They were fast, but Wu Renliang was faster than them, only to see one afterimage after another, Wu Renliang swept behind them at lightning speed, and then shot three lightning shocks between his palms and pointed directly at the back of the ghouls, and the three ghouls screamed and screamed.
Easily dealt with the three ghouls, Wu Renliang returned with a smile on his face, and the two ghouls who were injured before knelt on the ground and begged bitterly: "Hero, you are merciful and spare us." ”
Wu Renliang said sharply: "If you want to live, answer me a few questions first, if the answer is good, this hero may be able to spare you from dying." ”
The two ghouls kowtowed like garlic and said, "If the hero asks, the little ones will answer truthfully." ”
Wu Renliang said: "Let me ask you, but you stole the sheep that were lost in the village recently?"
The ghoul said, "Yes, yes, it's us, just because we really have nothing to eat, so we have to steal the villagers' sheep to eat." ”
Wu Renliang said: "You don't stay in the plague land, why did you come to this village to make trouble?"
The ghoul said: "The hero doesn't know, a few days ago, a group of human evil stars went to the plague land, and they went to us ghouls, threatening to wipe out all our ghouls." When they went, they went on a killing spree, and we were beaten by them to no way out of the plague land. ”
Wu Renliang said secretly: "It seems that Qingfeng, Qianqian, and Xiang Chen have set off a lot of storms in the Plague Land, these two guys are familiar with the Plague Land, and they can be a guide for me, or maybe let me find Qingfeng and them as soon as possible." ”
After making up his mind, Wu Renliang said: "For the sake of the two of you honestly, this hero will spare you from death." But you've stolen a lot of sheep from the villagers, and I'll have to take you both back and wait for them to happen." As he spoke, he escorted the two ghouls towards the village.
When the villagers heard that the ghouls had stolen the sheep, they came to them to settle accounts, but the poor two ghouls were beaten and kicked by the villagers, and the villagers were angry a lot after the beating. Wu Renliang said: "Okay folks, now that the real murderer of stealing sheep has been punished, these two beasts are still useful to keep, so you can raise your hand and spare their lives." ”
The villagers then stopped, and then the two ghouls were temporarily locked up, and Wu Renliang was invited by the villagers to drink and celebrate.
