The farmer surnamed Niu looked at Li Tianqi, expecting him to give a reason.

Although Murong Xiaoyue saw him squatting down to observe for a while, and then twisting up some dust and putting it on the side of his nose to sniff it a little, she didn't know what he found and judged that it was not a monster.

"It is mainly inferred from three doubts." Li Tianqi glanced at the two people in front of him, and said indifferently: "Although these six fence holes are not narrow, they are not big, and they are full of thorns. I just looked at the six holes, and there were indeed two places with some dried blood and a few strands of clothing. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, then turned to look at Murong Xiaoyue and asked, "Xiaoyue, do you remember that when we caught that wild boar, although the wild boar was not scratched due to its thick skin, it still had some hair shaved off by thorns?" ”

Murong Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Yes." The boar was indeed rough and thick-skinned, and was not injured and bleeding, but had only been shaved off some hair by thorns. ”

Li Tianqi continued: "These two places have left blood stains and a few strands of silk threads, but there is no hair, and I have already asked Brother Niu just now, obviously the blood stains in this fence hole are left from this so-called monster who enters and exits." And these few strands of silk ...... Apparently the clothes worn by the monster were scraped, which means that it was not an ordinary beast that got in and took the chicken, but really the so-called monster. ”

Li Tianqi turned his head to look at the farmer and asked, "Although Brother Niu didn't say that this monster was wearing clothes, I dare to assert that this monster must be wearing clothes." Right? ”

The farmer surnamed Niu said: "Yes, the little brother fairy is right. ”

It seems that this person can't change his mouth, and Li Tianqi has no choice but to be called by him.

But when Murong Xiaoyue heard this, she didn't know how this had anything to do with his assertion, and Murong Xiaoyue couldn't understand it, let alone the farmer surnamed Niu. Both of them looked at Li Tianqi with bated breath and listened to what he had to say.

Li Tianqi continued: "I met a pine caterpillar demon five or six years ago, and he had a hundred years of cultivation, but he couldn't cultivate the human face, I thought that since Brother Niu saw a monster with a beast head and a human body, presumably this monster's path was less than a hundred years. Even so, since he can incarnate into a human body, his cultivation must not be low, so why bother to risk being scratched by thorns and dig up six fence walls at any cost? Why doesn't it just change into a breeze and come in? That's my first suspicion. ”

Until this moment, the farmer surnamed Niu understood what Li Tianqi meant.

"Now I'll come back to the second point."

The farmer surnamed Niu hurriedly said: "Little brother immortal, the analysis is very reasonable. ”

"Alright, don't interrupt." Murong Xiaoyue was listening attentively, who knew that the farmer surnamed Niu always chose good things to say, presumably because he was used to saying good things in business.

Li Tianqi said: "Since its cultivation is very high compared to ordinary people, why does it have to carry incense with it? I just saw that there were still some leaves on the ground where Brother Niu was sprinkled with incense, and after smelling it, I knew that it was a misty incense, and this misty incense was consistent with the residual incense of the chicken coop. I was thinking that this monster is also low-level, and I don't even have this means, no wonder I have to bring incense to prevent those chickens from crowing, but that night I was caught by Brother Niu after all, and I sprinkled incense on Brother Niu in a hurry. This is my second suspicion. ”

The farmer surnamed Niu seemed to have a sudden realization at this moment, "I said, this monster is very powerful, I only lingered for less than a quarter of an hour before fainting." ”

Murong Xiaoyue asked, "Brother Apocalypse, could it be that the monster's Dao is really very low?" That's why I had to bring those incense with me. ”

Li Tianqi said with a smile: "This is back to the first suspicion of Fang Cai, if its Taoism is really low, and it doesn't even have the means to deal with an ordinary farmer, and it was actually scratched by thorns and scratched its clothes, but it didn't even leave a cold hair, then what kind of monster is this guy?" How did it take on a human form? They are all pricked and bleeding, can't they even compare to an adult wild boar? According to the records in the library I read, it takes at least eighty or ninety years for a youkai to transform into a human form, and it takes more than a hundred years of cultivation for a youkai's head to turn into a human face. Therefore, what you said should not be true. ”

Murong Xiaoyue's eyes widened, although she could easily consult books on Wudang Mountain, she didn't pay attention to which book it was recorded.

"Alright. Let me now turn to my third doubt. According to Brother Niu, it seems that this monster carries a cloth bag and carries a dozen chickens back every time, right? ”

The farmer surnamed Niu nodded and said, "That's right, that's the case." ”

Li Tianqi said: "Xiaoyue, if you were a monster, would you bring a bag back to catch chickens every time?" ”

Murong Xiaoyue glared at Li Tianqi, "You are the monster." ”

Li Tianqi smiled and said, "I'm just making an analogy, don't take it seriously, just answer whether you will do it?" ”

The farmer surnamed Niu rushed to speak: "It's so troublesome, it must be eaten and then taken, or just eat enough, what else to take?" ”

Murong Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Yes, it's really troublesome enough to pretend to be it." ”

Li Tianqi said: "Yes, everyone knows this obvious truth, this monster is too particular, right?" What does it do with those chickens back? Is it to cook? Do you need to add some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar? Since it's a monster, why don't you eat enough on the spot, go back and get some sleep, and come back next time? ”

"Huh?" The farmer surnamed Niu looked at Li Tianqi in surprise.

Li Tianqi smiled: "It's just talking." Brother Niu, don't be serious. ”

Murong Xiaoyue took Li Tianqi's words and said, "That's right, since it's a monster, you just said it once or twice, but you actually came to catch it every time, but you didn't eat it on the spot?" ”

Li Tianqi asked, "Brother Niu, presumably this monster hasn't eaten it at the scene, right?" ”

The farmer surnamed Niu nodded and said: "That's right, although I lost more than 100 chickens, I didn't find any blood at the scene, and that night I just saw the monster tiptoe to the chicken coop, and then picked up a dozen chickens into the cloth bag and ran away." ”

Li Tianqi said: "So after these unreasonable doubts are laid out one by one, I can't convince myself, and I really can't find evidence, so I speculate that this is not a monster, but a person." ”

"People? Who is it? Could it be that he is good at eating chicken? The farmer surnamed Niu hurriedly asked, presumably he also agreed with Li Tianqi's statement in his heart.

And Murong Xiaoyue admired it even more at this time, although Li Tianqi's martial arts cultivation had not improved, and now it was far inferior to her, but his mind was even more unbelievable than five years ago.

Li Tianqi comforted the farmer surnamed Niu and said: "Brother Niu, don't worry, everything has a reason, if there is no reason, it must be a temporary intention." But I wonder how often the chicken thief usually comes? He must not be here at night, right? ”

A farmer surnamed Niu said: "It can be as short as three or four days, or as long as seven or eight days, but the time is uncertain, and this is the time interval I roughly remember after my recent inventory." ”

Li Tianqi asked again: "Brother Niu, although I don't understand business, what about the chicken market business during this time?" ”

The farmer surnamed Niu replied: "Sometimes it is in short supply, sometimes it is weak, but it is generally a regular customer business, and they will ask for it more or less, so the supply here is still very sufficient, and I need to send a batch of adult chickens out every day." You ask these ......" He suddenly realized, "Little brother fairy, isn't this chicken thief for money?" ”

Li Tianqi took a deep breath and said slowly, "I think so." You're in the business of acquaintances, so what if people only do it occasionally? ”

The farmer surnamed Niu suddenly clapped his hand and said, "That's right, that's right." The bazaar also has a special collection of chicken merchants, there are also sales of roast chicken, if everyone is familiar with each other, the price is also easy to discuss, but the supply and marketing sides must also be stable, if not, both sides are strangers, then you can only go with the market, watch the sky to eat. After the little brother fairy said this, I think this person pretended to be a monster and stole chickens, it must be to sell it for money, so there are clues to check. ”

"Well, maybe it's hard to talk about acquaintances. I think Brother Niu can make two preparations, the first step is to report to the official, but you have already been to the Yamen, or find another relative to report the case, but don't say that it is a monster to make trouble, let them go to check the unfamiliar faces of bulk chickens such as chicken market restaurants. The second step is to unite the villagers to set up an ambush here, so that I think this person will inevitably fall into the hands of the villagers even if he is not captured by the officers and soldiers. ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! It's wonderful! The farmer surnamed Niu stretched out his hand and showed his thumbs and was amazed.

"Brother Niu, since the matter is over, we need to go back to Wudang Mountain." Li Tianqi said goodbye.

The farmer surnamed Niu hurriedly said: "Don't go back in a hurry, I want to thank you very much." As he spoke, he took out two pieces of money from the bag he carried, "This is three hundred yuan, don't be too little, that's all there is to it." ”

"Hey, Brother Niu, what are you doing, we haven't done anything, how can we collect your money just by moving our mouths." Li Tianqi hurriedly waved his hand.

"Yes, yes, Brother Niu, we really wanted to come down and collect a monster back, but there is no monster here, we can't accept it." Murong Xiaoyue also hurriedly said.

"How can this be done, then how many of you will stay for lunch? There's nothing to entertain in the countryside, so I'll kill two chickens, and you can have a taste, how about it? The farmer surnamed Niu wanted to stuff the money and silver in his hand to Li Tianqi, but he was helplessly pushed and refused, so he had to say helplessly.

Li Tianqi thought for a while and said to Murong Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue, can we rush back to the mountain late at night?" ”

Murong Xiaoyue said: "The elders haven't explained, so it should be okay." ”

Li Tianqi said: "I just calculated the time, maybe that person will come to steal tonight, or we will accompany Brother Niu to crouch here tonight, and there is no need to mobilize others for the time being." If we really succeed in catching the person who pretends to be a monster, then we will eat Brother Niu's whole chicken feast. If he doesn't come, we'll rush back at night, but if that's the case, then we can only let Brother Niu do what I said. ”

Before Murong Xiaoyue could answer, the farmer surnamed Niu agreed, "Yes, yes, it's settled." Can you eat tonight? ”

"Just get some pickles and white porridge." Li Tianqi and Murong Xiaoyue said in unison. After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Is this a heart-in-the-heart?

The night came as scheduled, was the monster really pretended to be a human as Li Tianqi analyzed?
