Chapter 156: The Ok Clan
At this time, Yan Yu had another problem, probably because he was scared by zombies before, Yan Yu suddenly had a high fever the next day, and called a doctor to prescribe medicine, which was good and slow, and people were always groggy and couldn't even get out of bed.
Yan Jihe was so anxious that his mouth was boiling, seeing that no new zombies appeared again, and people gradually returned to their previous lives, so he completely handed over this matter to Lin Tang, and the command of the guards was also given to Lin Tang, but there were important things to report to him.
But in fact, Lin Tang couldn't do anything about this matter, so he could only ask the guards to step up patrols, and every household had a lot of glutinous rice, just in case.
In this way, another half a month has passed, Yan Yu's illness has still not improved, his physical foundation is poor, his illness is like a mountain, and his illness is like a thread, Yan Jihe puts all his energy on Yan Yu. There are still no zombies in Nanxi City, and people are relaxing their vigilance more and more, and right here, another zombie has appeared.
This time the zombie appeared in the morning market, and it was the time when there were the most people on the street, and most of the women and children, the zombie waved his hand casually, and injured three or four people, fortunately, the guard market arrived and subdued the zombie, Lin Tang heard it and hurriedly ran over.
Stopped the guards from beheading the zombie, the zombie was pulled by several strong men, and they were still dancing with their teeth and claws, barking their fangs at Lin Tang, and wanted to bite people all the time.
Seeing that this zombie really scared the people around him, Lin Tang frowned, waved his hand, and let the guards deal with him.
"Poof", the zombie's head was looked down, Lin Tang couldn't bear to continue looking, seeing that the zombie had no clues, so he was about to go back first, and as soon as he took a step, he heard a guard say, "Eh, what is this"?
Lin Tang turned around, the crowd around him had dispersed, only a few guards were left around, Lin Tang had a good relationship with them, huddled together, one of them was a young man who often ate and drank with Lin Tang, named Wang Qiang, who was holding a piece of jade accessories with a strange shape in his hand.
Seeing Lin Tang coming, he handed it to Lin Tang and said, "Young Master Lin, this is what fell from this zombie just now."
It looked like it was originally hanging around his neck, but at the beginning he opened his teeth and claws, and several people didn't dare to get close to check, and they cut off their heads before they fell off, and there were blood stains on it, Lin Tang endured his nausea and looked at it carefully, and felt that this was not like an accessory for the Central Plains.
There was a strange animal on it, like a lion and a fox, Lin Tang didn't see any eyebrows after looking at it for a long time, so he handed it to others.
One of them looked at it carefully, and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, this seems to be something from the Ok tribe."
As soon as this person said it, the people on the side echoed, "Yes", "I look quite similar", "It should be a token of the Aoke tribe".
"Where are the Oke?" Lin Tang asked.
Wang Qiang explained, "There are very few people in this ethnic group, just a village, living in the east of Nanxi City, this is an animal they believe in, and the people there will wear this on their bodies, eh, then this person should be a member of the Ao Ke tribe, no wonder we haven't seen him here."
Although he knew the origin of this zombie, no one knew when he entered the city and how he came here, Lin Tang thought about it, and now he had to seize this clue and go to the Ao Ke clan to take a look.
"Lin Gongzi, do you think this matter is going to report to the head of the Yan family, or are you going?" Wang Qiang asked.
Now that Yan Yu is sick and bedridden, Yan Jihe's hair is gray, Lin Tang wants not to bother them, anyway, there are no substantive clues yet, go quietly and quietly go back by yourself, and when you have real clues, you will report to Yan Jihe.
He explained to Wang Qiang and said that he would solve this matter by himself, and Lin Tang instructed the guards to dispose of the corpses of the zombies, and in order to avoid any mess, these zombies would be cremated uniformly.
Lin Tang returned to Yan's Mansion with the jade pendant, sent someone to tell Yan Jihe that he would go out for a while, packed up the things used on the road, and went out.
As soon as he went out, he put on Yan Ruomeng, Lin Tang hadn't seen Yan Ruomeng for a long time, firstly, he had been busy searching for zombies recently, and secondly, Yan Ruomeng was also busy taking care of Yan Yu. Before, at the Yuema Festival, Lin Tang was so distraught that he almost kissed Yan Ruomeng.
So he always felt embarrassed to see Yan Ruomeng, he felt that it was really wrong for him to do this, and gave Yan Ruomeng hope, so he kept avoiding it, but he didn't expect that when the servant sent by Lin Tang reported to Yan Jihe, Yan Ruomeng also happened to be on the side.
As soon as he heard that Lin Tang was going out, he hurriedly ran over and happened to bump into Lin Tang. Lin Tang hurriedly helped Yan Ruomeng, Yan Ruomeng said with red eyes, "Young Master Lin, are you leaving?" ”
Lin Tang had a headache for a while, and explained, "Miss Yan, I just found a clue, now I want to go out and check it, don't worry, the matter in Nanxi has not been resolved, and I will not leave."
Hearing that Lin Tang was not going to leave Nanxi completely, Yan Ruomeng was relieved, she thought that it was because she and Yan Jihe had been busy with Yan Yu's affairs recently, and they had neglected Lin Tang, so Lin Tang was leaving.
Then he said, "Then since it is to investigate the affairs of Nanxi, shall I go with you, after all, I am also from Nanxi."
Lin Tang frowned and said, "Uncle has already said before, it is forbidden for you two brothers and sisters to leave the Yan family again, and now the situation outside is still unstable, I don't know when and where a zombie will jump out, you are still the safest when you stay in the Yan family."
Yan Ruomeng didn't expect Lin Tang to refuse, and wanted to persuade him again, Lin Tang said directly, "Miss Yan, you don't have to say it, I won't take you out with me", beckoned, called a servant, and asked him to take care of Yan Ruomeng and not let her go out and run around.
After speaking, he ignored Yan Ruomeng's sad eyes and went out of the house directly.
Lin Tang followed the instructions of Wang Qiang and others, all the way to the east, his physical strength was much better, and he was not tired after walking for a long time, until he vaguely saw a village, thinking that this should be the settlement of the Ao people in the mouth of Wang Qiang and others.
Sure enough, when he arrived at the entrance of the village, Lin Tang saw a flag planted on the gate, and on it was the pattern on the jade pendant hanging around the neck of the zombie in Lin Tang's hand.
There was a fence around the outside of the whole village, more like a stockade, Lin Tang looked in at the door, and didn't see anyone, so he shouted a few times, "Is there anyone?" ”
After a while, a man in his thirties, looking a little exotic, stood inside the fence, did not open the door, looked at Lin Tang vigilantly, and asked, "Who are you?" Who to come to? ”
Lin Tang took out a portrait from his arms, it was the portrait of the zombie he specially instructed the guards to find someone to draw, although it looked a little abstract in the eyes of Lin Tang, a modern person, but if it was really someone who knew him and was familiar with him, he should be able to recognize it at a glance.
Lin Tang unfolded the portrait and handed it to the man through the crack in the door, asked, "I want to find this person", then held up the jade pendant and said, "This is on him, my friend told me that this is the totem of the nobles, do you know this person?"
When the man saw Yu Pei, he relaxed his vigilance and said, "This person is indeed from our clan, his name is Kerry, but he is no longer in the clan, you can look for him somewhere else."
As soon as he heard that this person was indeed from here, Lin Tang breathed a sigh of relief, and finally did not run in vain, so he also told the truth, "I know that this person is not in your clan, because he is dead."
"What!?" The man was surprised and asked, "Kerry is dead?" How so, how did he die? ”
This person asked a series of questions, but Lin Tang didn't answer, only asked, "Can you let me in and say, I think you also have a lot of questions to ask me, and his relatives should also want to know how he died."
The man was silent for a moment, and said to Lin Tang, "Please wait, I'll go ask the patriarch", after saying that, he turned his head and walked inside, entering a larger cottage.
After a while, three or four people came out of it, and in the middle was a white-bearded old man, who looked very leading, and sure enough, the old man approached, waved his hand, let people open the door, and introduced himself, "Hello, I am the patriarch of the Aoke tribe, may I ask who you are"?
