Chapter Forty-Eight: Corpses in the Rain

Dongshan is located in the eastern suburbs of Ya County, although it is not far from Ya County, but it is the "dead place" where the people of Ya County smell and change color.

Dongshan is a north-south direction, blocking the road leading to Yecheng, the capital of Wei State, and ordinary people want to go to Yecheng from Yaxian County, so they have to go around to the north and then go south. The reasons for this are not only the mountain range blocking the road, but also the "Black Tiger" incident that shocked the Wei people.

The land of Dongshan is extremely steep, the terrain is very complicated, if you want to climb over and reach Yecheng, it is tantamount to difficult to climb to the sky, of course, it is not without the courage of people to try. However, since I heard that the terrifying black tiger haunted Dongshan, this land has become a forbidden area that no one dares to set foot in, and it is very rare to even talk about it.

In the deep mountains and old forests, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, covering the sky and the sun. The forest was dimly lit, with straight, tall trees blocking most of the sunlight, and only the dappled and sparse light shining through the gaps between the trees, making the forest exceptionally quiet. From time to time, the forest was filled with a mist that came from nowhere, adding a touch of weirdness to this already frightening place.

According to the robber's request, these three watches had to trade at the top of the East Mountain, and to reach the top of the East Mountain, they had to pass through the dense forests of the East Mountain.

Wei Ziyang hadn't been here for a long time since he killed the evil tiger last time. So he himself is not very familiar with this Dongshan.

After making some general preparations in the evening, Wei Ziyang set off in plain clothes, and the people from the government later asked him if he should send more people to help, but after thinking about it again and again, he still refused.

Because if there are too many people, not to mention that they are not familiar with the environment of this Dongshan Mountain, it is easy to get lost, and there are too many people, the target is too obvious, and it is easier to startle the snake, after all, the robber requires that he can only go alone.

Wei Ziyang set off this time, but his mood was different from a few days ago, a few days ago it was for the purpose of eliminating harm in the name and killing the evil tiger that harmed people, so he was not overly afraid at that time, although he was also a little nervous. And this time I set off to rescue Chen Yun'er, and I have no bottom in my heart about whether I can successfully rescue Chen Yun'er.

I don't know how many robbers there are, if there are too many people, then won't I be caught in the net at that time? Why did you choose Dongshan? If you want to talk about the location of the transaction, there are hidden places around Ya County, and the robbers are not impartial, but why did they choose this most dangerous Dongshan? Although trading here is also very hidden, aren't they too troublesome?

Not to mention the difficulty of going up the mountain, that is, going down the mountain, in the middle of the night, there was no finger in the mountain, and in addition to the fog that filled the winter, wouldn't the robber be afraid that he would get lost?

Or are any of them familiar with the terrain?

Wei Ziyang was puzzled, he just felt that today's incident was very strange.

Why was this Chen Yuner kidnapped? The Chen family has always had an excellent reputation in Yaxian County, and they have never heard of any enemies or hostile forces, so what does this robber have to do with the Chen family?

Moreover, if the robbers wanted to kidnap, why did they choose Chen Yun'er to do it? If they could really pass through the layers of obstacles and enter the Chen Mansion, wouldn't it be a better choice to attack the Chen family master directly? The old man of the Chen family is old and frail, and he is the head of the Chen family, if he were himself, it would definitely be much more cost-effective to attack the old man of the Chen family than to attack Chen Yun'er. In such a situation, the robbers chose Chen Yun'er as their target, which is really puzzling.

Wei Ziyang was thinking, but at the same time, he climbed this strange and precipitous East Mountain.

Along the narrow old approach, you will see the crooked trees and the eerie darkness; The moon was obscured by the black clouds that poured out, revealing only an uncomfortable dark halo; The wind whizzed among the trees, rustling the already sparse branches; There was a hint of oppression in the cold air, and the little ice chips attached to the forest in the early winter fell on Wei Ziyang's skin from time to time, causing goosebumps.

From the foot of Higashiyama to the top, there are almost all the rugged paths like this, and only when you get close to the top of Higashiyama will there be a wide avenue.

Wei Ziyang had hardly been to this Dongshan before, so he could only walk up this rugged path, as for the distance of that journey, and the time it would take, it was really not clear.

Mo said that he was born and raised in Yaxian County, and he didn't know about it.

This Wei Ziyang was walking, but he suddenly noticed a trace of something wrong in the air.

In the forest not far to the left, there seemed to be a disgusting smell of blood.

Wei Ziyang was suddenly alert, at this time he had already gone deep into the Dongshan Mountain, and there was no one to see all around, even with the wolf howls and ape howls that came from afar from time to time, Wei Ziyang, who had killed the evil tiger, also felt that his scalp was numb at this time, and he was faintly oozing sweat from his back.

Wei Ziyang paused, and groped towards the woods in front of him, his careful footsteps revealed the nervousness in his heart at this time, although he was not afraid of any conspiracy, but the scene in front of him still made Wei Ziyang secretly sweat in his heart.

Pushing aside the dense jungle, stepping through the thorny mud, the moonlight coldly penetrated through the gaps in the branches and leaves, at this time, Wei Ziyang looked down, and finally found the source of the smell of blood, and couldn't help but let out a low sigh.

I saw that under the light of the moon, there was a man lying on the overgrown ground, who was dressed in black, but his head was bare, and his head had been cut off alive.

Wei Ziyang was also shocked when he saw this, the smell of blood he smelled just now should have emanated from the corpse in front of him.

Wei Ziyang took a long breath, calmed down, squatted down, and began to carefully examine the unknown corpse.

Seeing the appearance of this corpse, it should have been killed three or five days ago, and it was brutally learned of his life with a knife.

Although the corpse had been abandoned for three or five days, the strong smell of blood on the body and the rancid smell of the corpse were very strong, so that Wei Ziyang couldn't help but pinch his nose tightly to prevent him from smelling the disgusting smell.

Whose body was this, and who was so vicious as to kill this man in such a cruel manner?

Just when Wei Ziyang was puzzled, he suddenly smelled a foul smell not far ahead.

Wei Ziyang secretly screamed in his heart, so he gradually approached there and took a look at the grass.

Behold, under the big tree in the distance, there was a man standing upright, with his back to the tree. The man didn't move in this rather cold night, and he looked very strange.

Wei Ziyang was slightly certain in his heart, and walked slowly towards this person. When he got closer, sure enough, the man's eyes were staring at the front in horror, as if he had seen something terrible, and a bloody hole was exposed in his chest, extending from his chest to his back, and it actually ran through his whole body, as if it was caused by some extremely large and sharp weapon, which looked very terrifying.

When Wei Ziyang saw this appearance, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, who were these two miserable corpses? What did they see when they were alive? And who killed them?

Without waiting for Wei Ziyang to react, a sudden thunder rose from the sky, illuminating the forest that was still dark just now, and the ensuing heavy rain poured, and Dongshan, which was quiet and weird just now, was covered by heavy rain in a blink of an eye.

Wei Ziyang already secretly felt that something was wrong when the thunder sounded, and when he turned his head to look, he saw another corpse hanging on a big tree next to him. I was also very surprised.

Slowly approaching it, the branches of the big tree were like spears, piercing through this huge corpse, and the corpse was located in a higher position, if it were not for careful observation, and with this thunder, it would really not be found under normal circumstances.

Wei Ziyang saw this rather large corpse hanging high on this branch, his brows were furrowed, and he held his chin with his hand, and his expression was quite nervous.

This huge corpse seems to be not lightweight, at least it is also a tall strong man, if it is an ordinary person, it is almost impossible to kill such a strong man, even lifting this corpse and hanging it on this tree. Although the branches did not look thick, they were not very thin, and if you really wanted to hang this strong man, you had to climb the big tree with thick branches, and it might take a lot of effort to do it. But it is also very difficult for him to do such things, let alone ordinary people.

Three corpses, three dead people, appeared alive in front of Wei Ziyang in this already weird woods, which frightened Wei Ziyang.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the rain was getting heavier, Wei Ziyang didn't have the time to think about it for a long time, his eyes looked at the three corpses again, and then he was sure in his heart, that is, he turned around and left, and continued to move towards the top of the mountain, his primary purpose now is not to investigate this matter, but to rescue Chen Yun'er.

In his heart, he just felt that something big was about to happen, but he didn't know it yet.
