Chapter 5 [Toad]
Under the scorching sun, Yu Ge sat on a stone on the side of the street, holding a dog's tail grass in his mouth, picking his teeth with his hands from time to time, seemingly leisurely, but his eyes were staring at the gate of the courtyard of the tailor Wang.
Looking at the mourning guests who were gradually leaving, his palm rubbed the black iron dagger pinned to his waist from time to time, and his mood was a little inexplicably nervous.
As for why not choose the evening, when the moon is dark and the wind is high.
That's because in his previous experience, when he was investigating something at night, he always had to encounter something and something unexpected.
At noon, not to mention that the scorching sun suppresses the evil spirits, even if it encounters an accident, it will come quickly.
Time gradually passed, and there were fewer and fewer people mourning, and when there was no one for a long time, Yu Ge went around to the back door of the courtyard wall, and used a dagger to flick the wooden bolt slightly, and easily picked it open.
Stretching out his head to look, he found that there was no movement in the front yard, so Yu Ge tiptoed in.
After walking a few steps, you can easily see the hall in the front yard, in front of which is a fragrant wood table with all kinds of offerings, and on a wooden board in the back, lies the tailor of the king who is dressed in a shroud.
It has not yet been sealed in the coffin, and it should be waiting to be done.
At this time, there was only a woman kneeling in the hall with her hair in a bun, Yu Ge recognized him as the wife of the tailor of the king, and just as he was about to wait for a while, he saw the woman stand up and leave the front yard.
Without further ado, Yu Ge turned over and rushed in, leaped to Tailor Wang's side in a few big strides, leaned down and hurriedly pulled Tailor Wang's clothes open.
He wanted to see what Tailor Wang was scratching that afternoon.
It's just a scratch on the back, and the posture shouldn't be so weird.
A few times he ripped off Tailor Wang's shroud, revealing his back.
The skin on Tailor Wang's back was a little swollen because of the soaking, and it showed a sickly paleness, but there seemed to be nothing else unusual.
Is it really drowning?
Holding back the discomfort in his heart, Yu Singer groped his palm on Tailor Wang's back, while his eyes widened to observe, but there was nothing except a few red marks from his nails.
Time did not allow him to continue his research, he had already heard footsteps coming from the backyard, and immediately restored the clothes of the tailor Wang, and then crept away.
He had no doubt that if he was found out by the royal tailor's family, what would happen to him, and if he was mistaken for blasphemy, he would really be killed.
Leaving Tailor Wang's house, Yu Ge stopped when he was far enough away, but it was a pity that he didn't find anything valuable, it seemed that Tailor Wang's death was a simple drowning incident.
The corpse was also seen, and the place where Tailor Wang drowned was also gone, so even if he wanted to continue the investigation now, he seemed to have no clue.
Recalling the abnormal appearance of the tailor of the king that day, Yu Ge also shook his head slightly, comforting himself that there was nothing to study.
Out of town, go to the river on the side to catch a few fish, and quickly return to the yard at the last time.
It was getting dark, and Yu Ge lay on the bed, consciously checking the few little stars in his mind.
Let's get back to work tomorrow.
Yu Ge, who was lying on the bed, closed his eyes, he was a little anxious to become stronger.
As a thin red mist enveloped the town, the breathing in the room gradually became even.
At this time, in the dark shadow in the courtyard, there was a sudden faint sound of fragmentation, and then a black basin-sized object appeared a somewhat disgusting figure from the shadow of the wall.
I don't know what kind of animal this thing is, its whole body is covered with brown sticky skin, the skin is densely covered with green transparent green spots the size of soybeans, and a pair of dark green eyes are hidden in between, which is difficult for people to see, and it looks extremely uncomfortable.
A quarter of an hour passed.
The dark green eyes stared at the room in the courtyard, and moved, as if making a decision, the figure moved, and soon swept some distance from the ground, approaching the door.
The wooden door slowly opened, and the small thing got through the crack in the door, swept the things in the room, and then shifted his gaze to Yu Ge on the wooden bed.
The small eyes suddenly revealed human greed, and the soles of their feet like ducks tiptoed close to the bed, and suddenly flew up, opening their mouths and shooting red tongues like steel nails.
The figure on the bed was about to bleed on the spot.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
With a loud shout, the figure on the bed rose violently, and he lifted the quilt on his body and smashed it.
The black iron dagger hidden under the quilt also shone with a cold light at this time, and a light swept through the dark room.
Covered with a quilt in front of him, the gadget screamed, retracted his tongue and jumped violently, dodging the quilt and the oncoming knife light at the same time, and then stood at a distance and grinned at Yu Ge in front of the bed.
Only then did Yu Ge see clearly the appearance of the thing hiding on the side and grinning, and suddenly frowned.
This thing looks uglier than a toad, and it's one size bigger, even if the eyes are small, and the green spots on his body look a little disgusting, even if he doesn't have a dense phobia, he can't stand it.
He didn't think he was waiting for such a thing in the middle of the night.
It was true that there was nothing to be gained by inspecting the body of the tailor during the day, except for the red marks scratched by the nails, there was nothing of value.
Although he didn't find anything else, Yu Ge still had the mind to pay attention, being careful is always subtle, even if he doesn't have it, he won't lose anything, but he didn't expect to have such a gain.
He just thought it was a little strange, such a big thing, although it was the size of a basin, how did it get the nearly 200-pound body of Tailor Wang into the water and drown.
Now, the death of the tailor Wang has been completely pressed by him on this thing that looks like a toad.
And seeing that Yu Singer on the opposite side was holding the dagger and did not move, the toad's dark green eyes turned, and he slipped towards the half-hidden door decisively.
At this time, Yu Ge finally caught the true face of this guy, and where would he let him leave so easily.
A black iron dagger in his hand was to sharpen it, but the dagger was too short, and the body of that thing was extremely flexible, and it didn't even touch a hair for a while.
He was almost hurt by the tongue of that thing several times, and he didn't know what the power of that tongue was, but as a means of keeping care of this guy, I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy.
Is this dagger good for the thing?
After a few strokes to no avail, Yu Ge inadvertently remembered the characteristics of the dagger in his hand, and immediately glanced at the toad's legs.
But the toad felt a chill between his legs out of thin air, as if he was being targeted by something fearful, and in an instant he ran more quickly.
Seeing that the thing was about to run out of the gate, Yu Ge no longer hesitated to rush over, and threw the black iron dagger in his hand towards the direction of the thing.
Whoosh.
There was a flash of light in the room, followed by the monster's scream of pain, and the dagger was nailed to the doorframe.
After Yu Ge ran over and pulled it out, the thing had already reluctantly run out of the gate and jumped out of the yard without a trace, but there was a palm-sized thing left on the inside of the house.
Yu Ge was a little dumbfounded, change the position, how much has the speed of this thing improved.
The characteristics are really amazing!
Looking at the green piece of meat on the ground, he first put on his shoes, and then approached and kicked cautiously with his foot.
The flesh was sparkling and bloody, and the palm-sized piece of flesh was wrapped in a piece of brown and green skin, and it didn't look like that indescribable part, and thinking back to the speed of the toad, it should have avoided the past.
That's fine, otherwise he would have to consider whether this dagger can still be used.
I don't know if this thing is poisonous or not, according to the memory in the mind of his predecessor, he really hasn't encountered this strange thing, so he carefully took a rag and wrapped it layer after layer, and put it in the corner.
After the incident, he found that his hands were still stained with some mucus, but after washing it, he didn't find anything unusual, so he stopped paying attention.
He plans to show this thing to Zhao Ziming tomorrow, there is physical evidence, no matter how it is said, it is also convincing, as for the safety of the town in the future, it is not something he should consider.
He still has to be a veritable achievement party, and he doesn't have time to toss this thing.
Locking the doors and windows, Yu Ge lay on the bed again, squinting his eyes, in order to prevent the toad from coming to kill him, he didn't move until the sky turned white.
