Chapter Eighty-Eight: Leaving the Mountain

The dormitory is three rooms wide, and the furnishings in the hall are very simple, in addition to the high case for the ancestors of the Ye family, there is another table that can be used to place incense burner offerings, and there are a few futons for kneeling and worshipping in front of the table. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the walls on both sides of the high case, there are portrait scrolls of the ancestors of the Ye family in the past dynasties, all of which are painted in ink, white paper and black portraits, and they are hung all over the walls on both sides.

I can't count how many of them are at night, but I feel that they are either black or white, and they are eerie and scary.

Tie Ziwang stiffened his neck, and turned his panicked eyes to roam the dormitory, not seeing the slightest place to hide a large living person.

Zhan Yan said: "Isn't there a dog hole in the cubicle that may lead to the outside?" Perhaps the dark shadow had come out of the ancestral hall from there. ”

Tie Ziwang shook his head and said: "No, I have seen the dog hole, there is a low wooden cabinet in the small compartment to block the dog hole, if someone pushes it open, in such a quiet night, I can't not hear half of it!" ”

Yin Seventeen, who was listening quietly, suddenly asked, "You said there is a low cabinet in the cubicle?" ”

Zhan Yan heard Yin Seventeen's words and thought of something.

Tie Ziwang nodded: "Yes!" ”

Yin Seventeen asked, "Did you leave the dog hole behind the low cabinet after that?" ”

Tie Ziwang was a little unclear about such an obvious question as Yin Seventeen, but he still nodded.

Yin Seventeen asked again: "If you leave from the dog hole, you must push open the low cabinet in front of the dog hole again!" So when you pushed out the cabinet, you didn't notice anything different from when you came? ”

Zhan Yan also stared at Tie Ziwang tightly.

Tie Ziwang seemed to see the expectation in the eyes of Yin Seventeen and Zhan Yan, and he tried to recall:

"It seems to be heavier than when I came and pushed open the low cabinet from the outside, but I think maybe it was because I was scared and in a hurry to leave, so I didn't have the strength to feel much heavier than when I came......

As he spoke, he looked up and saw the heavy faces of Yin Seventeen and Zhan Yan, and asked:

"Is there something wrong with it?"

Yin Seventeen said: "Ye Lao once said that he saw two black shadows that night, if one of the black shadows Ye Lao saw was Tie Ziwang, then who was the other black shadow...... Brother Zhan, maybe we have found the answer! ”

Zhan Yan nodded slightly.

Another dark shadow is the murderer!

Tie Ziwang was confused: "What are you talking about?" ”

Yin Seventeen didn't want to scare Tie Ziwang, but said:

"You used to be very close to the murderer, but fortunately you are not the target of the murderer, you are not the 'wisdom' of the five virtues!"

Tiezi casually thought of the ghost: "You mean that ......"

Yin Seventeen: "That's right! The 'ghost' you think is the murderer! When you are looking for a 'ghost', the murderer hides in the low cabinet and is pushed away by you in a panic, and when you climb out of the dog hole, then move the low cabinet back to its place, cover the dog hole again and leave, and the murderer will come out of the low cabinet and leave! ”

Tieziwang is horrified!

There was a moment when he was so close to the murderer of his parents!

Tie Ziwang and Miao Tie sat in the courtyard until they finished talking about all the things about the old doctor in Kyoto, and he wanted to enter the house, but at this time, he found that the door of the hall was closed tightly at some point!

He banged on the door of the hall and called out to his mother.

It stands to reason that Tie Ziwang banging on the door and shouting loudly about Tie Shi Niang will alarm the neighbors, and it is impossible for half of the neighbors not to know the slightest movement of Tie Shi Niang's family killed that night.

Tie Ziwang said: "I only knocked on the door twice, only called out to my mother, and was suddenly attacked by Miao Tie, who followed me at some point......"

When Tie Ziwang fell, he saw Miao Tieyin's still friendly smile in the moonlight.

At that time, he was thinking, how could someone be so hypocritical as this?

Yin Seventeen said: "It's because your experience is too shallow, and you haven't seen all the ugly faces in this world." ”

Tie Ziwang looked at Yin Seventeen: "What about my father and mother?" Are they also too inexperienced? ”

Of course, Tie Shi Niang and Ye Hai are not too inexperienced, they are just too easy to trust people, or should they say ......

Zhan Yan said: "When a person deceives you wholeheartedly, you will be unable to prevent it, some people find it early, they will not be hurt too badly by that person, and some people will find out too ......late."

Zhan Yan paused, he didn't want to talk about such a disaster.

Tie Ziwang understood, and he took the hateful words:

"You'll be ruined by that person!"

Looking at Tie Ziwang's indigestible, painful and angry look, thinking of the days when he had been alone since then, Yin Seventeen also thought of Ye Lao, who was also aloneβ€”he was still uncertain about his life and death!

Yin Seventeen asked urgently, "Ziwang, have you seen Ye Lao?" ”

Tie Ziwang said that he didn't know, when he went to Miao Tie's house to look for Miao Tie, he was knocked unconscious as soon as he entered the courtyard door of Miao Tie's house, and when he woke up, he was tied to the horizontal board in front of the door of the sacrifice hall.

Tie Ziwang didn't know who knocked him unconscious, but he thought it should be Miao Tie.

As for how he was brought to this Ye clan ancestral hall, and how he was tied to the wooden beams and horizontal boards, he didn't know.

Tie Ziwang said: "Although I can't see anything, I have heard ......"

In the hazy consciousness, I don't know how long it took, Tie Ziwang only remembered that when he began to wake up, his eyes were so heavy that they seemed to have fallen a thousand pounds of iron, and he couldn't open them.

But the ears can still hear.

There would be no other sound except the faint sound of the wind.

Until the sound of footsteps seemed to come from the sacrificial hall, very subtle and careful, like the sound of the wind passing by, and transmitted the almost negligible footsteps to his ears.

He was accustomed to walking in the dark for ten years, and not only developed a pair of eyes that were brighter than ordinary people in the night, but his ears were also more sensitive than the ears of a wolf.

He could hear very subtle sounds that were almost inaudible to others, but he could hear.

Tie Ziwang said: "Someone walked out of the sacrificial hall, and there was a voice from inside the sacrificial hall, and the voice was very unfamiliar, I couldn't tell who it was, and I couldn't even hear whether the owner of the voice was a man or a woman, but when the person walked out of the sacrificial hall, probably when he stepped down the steps, I heard the word 'Master'......"

Pedant?!

Wisdom in the Five Virtues!

Zhan Yan, Yin Seventeen and Tie Ziwang ran out of the Ye Clan's ancestral hall.

When they ran out of the ancestral hall all the way, Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen didn't bother to look for Ye Lao's traces again.

I only remember that when the two of them passed through the two small cubicles on the left and right in the gate of the ancestral hall again, the small cubicle where Ye Lao lived was still messy, and it was still the same as when the two of them first entered the ancestral hall.

It was already daytime, and Tie Ziwang was still a little unaccustomed to the bright sunshine that he couldn't hide.

Zhan Yan asked Tie Ziwang to go back to the house of the village chief Miao of Bian Luo Village first, told Hua Zilai that he was fine, and asked Hua Zilai to take the official to Bian Ye Village directly.

Tie Ziwang cowered, ran all the way out of Bianye Village along the shady corners of the village.

Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen walked quickly on the streets of Bian Ye Village, their brains spinning rapidly.

Yin Seventeen said: "The person who mentioned 'Master' is the murderer!" Among the five virtues, there are four virtues: 'benevolence', 'propriety', 'faith', and 'righteousness', and in the end, only 'wisdom' is missing, and that master is 'wisdom'! ”

Zhan Yan said: "Whether it is Bian Luo Village or Bian Ye Village, there is only one master......

That person is - Miao Xiangle!

When the two rushed to Miao Xiangle's house and looked at the mess on the ground in the house, and there was a one-person house, a trace of chagrin appeared on the cold handsome face:

"We're late! It's too late again! ”

Yin Seventeen stood in the hall where the tables and chairs were turned left and right, and the cups, pots, and chopsticks were shattered, as if he was stunned, without saying a word.

When the murderer found Miao Xiangle, Miao Xiangle's family was obviously having breakfast, and there were uneaten rice porridge, pickles, and bitten pancakes on the overturned table in the hall.

Yin Seventeen suddenly muttered, "We've been tricked!" ”

Zhan Yan frowned: "What? ”

Yin Seventeen stared at Zhanyan: "Tune the tiger away from the mountain!" If the murderer really wants to reproduce the Five Elements Virtue Sacrifice, he must collect all the Five Virtues and hold it in the sacrifice hall! And in a few neighboring villages, except for the Ye clan ancestral hall in Bianye Village, there is no other place to ......"

Zhan Yan also turned his brain: "You mean, the murderer revealed the word 'master' to Tie Ziwang to hear, but it was actually intentional?" ”

Yin Seventeen said: "Otherwise? ”

yes, or else?

How could a person who has a plan like a murderer, who works step by step, and does not leave the slightest clue every time, be so rash as to ignore Tie Ziwang, who is tied to the horizontal board and may wake up at any time?

The murderer is on guard, how can he forget to guard against the last iron?

When the two rushed back to the Ye clan ancestral hall again, the door was already closed.

Zhan Yan tried his best to open the door of the ancestral hall again: "You're right, the murderer is back!" ”

The murderer took Miao Xiangle back to the ancestral hall and closed the gate, and the two could no longer enter.

Miao Xiangle's family did not see Miao Xiangle's body, which means that he may still be alive, and he has not seen Miao Hui, which means that she may have been arrested together, and the couple's children are also missing.

Miao Xiangle may still be alive when he leaves home, but it doesn't represent how long he will live after leaving home.

Time was urgent, and Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen stood in front of the gate of the ancestral hall, anxious.

The two thought of the dog cave mentioned by Tie Ziwang!

The two quickly ran to the courtyard wall behind the ancestral hall.

Tie Ziwang said that if you enter from the dog hole, you can go directly to the cubicle at the back of the dormitory.

Zhan Yan found the garbage heap that Tie Ziwang said, and he began to clean it up, and after a while, a dog hole was revealed.

But when he saw this dog hole, Zhan Yan frowned.

Yin Seventeen also frowned slightly: "Such a small hole...... Brother Zhan, you may not be able to climb over. ”

She looked at Zhan Yan and shrugged her shoulders very helplessly to find that something was wrong!

Tie Ziwang and Yin Seventeen are the same age, and because of being confined at home for many years, his heart knot and his uncheerful natural personality, he looks very thin, taller than Yin Seventeen, but the two of them are the same thin.

The hole that Tie Ziwang could climb through was indeed a dog hole, and he was not wrong.

Zhan Yan was a little helpless and a little anxious:

"Seventeen, you ......"

Yin Seventeen interrupted Zhanyan and said, "I can!" ”

She knew what he wanted to say, but she believed she could.

Zhan Yan said: "From Tie Ziwang's description, after Miao Tie attacked him to a faint, he did not take his life further, but threw him into the hearth, which ensured that Tie Ziwang still had the opportunity to be found and captured, Miao Tie could kill Ye Hai with a hammer, but gave Tie Ziwang the opportunity to continue to live, and it also shows that Miao Tie still has some kindness to Tie Ziwang, and the person hiding in the room on the right side is the real mastermind murderer, and Tie Miao is just an accomplice!" ”

He looked at Yin Seventeen and said seriously and solemnly:

"Seventeen, it's too dangerous for you to enter the ancestral hall alone!"

Tie Ziwang said that before he was knocked unconscious, he saw that the door of the hall was closed, and at that time, Miao Tie attacked him outside the house, which means that Miao Tie had been in the courtyard outside the house all along.

Later, Tie Shi Niang was found dead in Tie Ziwang's room, both the doors and windows in the room were still tightly bolted, and there was no trace of forced destruction.

And there may not be a time difference between the time when Tie Shi Niang was killed and Tie Ziwang was attacked.

When Tie Shi Niang is killed, there will inevitably be movement, that is, when a young man like Tie Ziwang sees an abnormal situation, he also slaps open the wooden door and shouts to call people, and when Tie Shi Niang feels that his life is threatened, it is impossible not to even have the slightest movement.

But in fact, Tie Ziwang said that he didn't hear any unusual noises in the room until he noticed that the hall was being tightly closed.

That is to say, it is very likely that when Tie Ziwang found that something was wrong and banged on the wooden door of the hall, Tie Shi Niang and the murderer were sitting in Tie Ziwang's room, and after hearing the knock on the door, Tie Shi Niang got up and wanted to open the door, but she didn't expect the murderer behind her to burst out at this time!

The murderer's murder weapon hit Tie Shi Niang in the back of the head.

The murder weapon has not yet been found, and it has not been determined what it was.

When Tie Shi Niang was killed, she didn't know about Tie Ziwang's situation in the courtyard, so her dead words were-Ziwang...... Come on!

Judging from this assumption, Tie Shi Niang and Tie Ziwang were attacked by murderers and accomplices from a mile away almost at the same time and fell into a coma, but Tie Ziwang was lucky, he met Miao Tie, who was not completely ruthless.

If Miao Tie had made up for it at that time, whether it was his head or other parts of his body, he would probably not have been able to survive until he was discovered by Yin Seventeen, and he was carried back to the village chief of Miao by Zhanyan, and snatched back from the hands of the king of Hades by the herb doctor from the brink of death.

Yin Seventeen could understand Zhanyan's anxiety and concern for her safety, and she smiled lightly:

"Before the crime, as Miao Tie was, Tie Ziwang was unsuspected, and it is very likely that this murderer is also an acquaintance of Tie Shi Niang's family...... The murderer is very dangerous, even more dangerous than Miao Tie, I know this, but Brother Zhan, I have to go! You know, we can't wait! I can't afford to wait! ”

Zhan Yan was silent, he didn't refute Yin Seventeen's words, because he knew the truth about what she said.

In the ancestral hall on the other side of the dog cave, Miao Xiangle may have been killed or is about to be killed.

In addition, there are also life-threatening children who are affected by the seedlings.

From the first day he ate the official food, he knew that the errand he did was related to human life, his life was very important, but the life of the person who was waiting for him to save was even more important.

Who of them ...... I can't afford to wait! (To be continued.) )
