Chapter Seventy-Six: The First

"Miss Wen, Brother Chu caught a hare, he called you over! Hey, you know him? ”

When Song Xiulan walked over, Hu Zhongsheng just turned around and left!

Wen Qing felt irritable in her heart, Zhao Moushi valued him very much, and she admitted that he also hated being smart! But judging from the tone of his voice, he has a sense of superiority over others!

It's just that he feels a sense of arrogance, he looks down on other people who are not as smart as him, Wen Qing thought he was cold and unsociable at first, so he has been alone, and after contact, he found that he just disdains to be in the company of other people!

Wen Qing shook her head and asked, "I don't know!" Do you know? ”

Song Xiulan looked at Hu Zhongsheng's back, "Can you not know each other?" Who doesn't know the number one talent in Luoyang City? ”

Wen Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing, listening to this tone, it was slowly vinegar!

Song Xiulan turned her head and frowned, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Wen Qing said, "Nothing, nothing!" Let's go, I'll roast a hare for you to eat! ”

At night, everything was the same as usual, except for Aman who slept on the top of the tree, everyone else still slept in a cloth tent!

Early the next morning, an incident happened that completely shattered the peace of the past few days!

Early in the morning, everyone was awakened by the sound of a huge heavy object falling to the ground, and when they woke up, they couldn't help but take a step back, and a wave of fear spread in the crowd!

Aman's flesh and blood were lying on the ground in a blur, and he was silent!

From the tree overhead, a few drops of bright red blood drip from time to time!

Aman is dead! He fell from the tree where he was resting, but it was clear that he didn't fall to his death!

On his back, several huge paw prints were clearly visible to the naked eye extending from the back of his neck to his hips, as if he had been slapped on the back of his neck by a huge claw, and then slashed down hard.

Wen Qing raised her head and looked at Hu Zhongsheng with a puzzled expression, and Hu Zhongsheng shook his head at Wen Qing.

Last night, he also told her that if it was determined that Aman had a problem, then Zhao Moushi would take action against Aman!

But looking at Aman like this, it doesn't look like they did it!

The Zhao strategist next to him had a dignified face!

Song Xiulan's whole body was trembling, and Wen Qing dragged him tightly to prevent him from overreacting.

But Song Xiulan was much calmer than she imagined.

Zhao Moushi glanced at Qingwa, and Qingwa stepped forward and turned Aman over.

I saw that Ah Man's eyes bulged out in the sky, and he looked frightened, as if he had seen something terrifying.

His mouth opened in a large O-shape, as if he wanted to scream, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

The most terrifying thing was his neck, which had two huge bloody holes, as if it had been bitten out by some large animal.

"How... How so..."

Song Xiulan took off his clothes and stepped forward to cover Aman's body.

Wen Qing didn't stop her, if it wasn't for Song Xiulan who reacted first, she would still be stunned!

Ever since he came out of the stockade and went into the forest, and when he slept at night, Aman had climbed up a tree to sleep, and on the tree, something had struck him, and it must have been as fast as lightning, so fast that Aman could not make a sound, and he was already dead.

The wound, the claw marks, made Wen Qing involuntarily think of the giant dog in the portrait.

"I swear... I certainly wasn't asleep, but I really didn't hear anything, I didn't see anything, and all of a sudden, Aman fell from the top of the tree! ”

Speaking is 24, the fifth watch to the early morning time period, by him vigil!

Look at the expression of 24, it is more iron blue than anyone else's!

What a terrible thing it was that the thing had quietly bitten Aman to death, or was it on the top of a tree, and he couldn't hear a sound?

Hu Zhongsheng didn't know when he came to Wen Qing's side.

"Last night, Uncle Zhao wanted to see if Aman would come to steal the map, if there was no map, we would definitely follow him to Cyan Town, but I didn't expect him to die!"

Wen Qing felt a cold sweat when she thought about it.

"At the speed of that thing, if it had killed us, we would have died a long time ago, and yet that thing had killed Aman! Why? ”

"There are two possibilities, first, this is a warning, warning us that this is the end of the road, and if we continue to move forward, there is only a dead end. This possibility is relatively large, but there are also loopholes, why did that thing kill Aman? If we are to be warned, the people who should kill us will be even more warned! ”

"The second one, this possibility is more bizarre, it is possible, it is voluntary! Voluntary death! ”

Wen Qing was puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”

In other words, Aman took the initiative to stand there, scratched the thing with a claw, and then let the thing bite his throat, and the whole time, he didn't say a word! Otherwise, with Aman's ability to kill a wild boar with his bare hands, even if that thing is as fast as lightning, although he can't beat that thing, he still has a trace of the power to escape, it's really not good, he can always make a sound."

"But in fact, Aman couldn't make a sound at all!"

"I'm more inclined to the second guess, because how fast is Aman in the jungle? You've seen it all! He couldn't have been killed and couldn't make a sound. ”

Wen Qing was still puzzled, "But why did he do this?" How much determination and perseverance does this take? ”

Hu Zhongchang let out a sigh, "If this can save the villagers in their village, presumably even if he is chopped alive, he will have to grit his teeth and persevere!" ”

Wen Qing looked at Hu Zhongsheng incredulously. The latter said in a voice that only Wen Qing could hear.

"Your guess Uncle Zhao told me, according to my guess, the villagers of the village have a deal with the thing in the green town, and the thing in the green town provides prey for the villagers, and the villagers help it solve the people who try to go to the green town, as for how to solve it, it is not known."

"You can imagine why not one of the teams that came in the past made it back alive? They must have been killed suddenly without any defense, so there was no one alive! ”

"But this time, obviously, Aman failed, in order to seal his mouth, so, that thing had to kill him, exactly according to the meaning of that thing, if you don't cooperate, then kill your whole village!"

"So Aman held back, and didn't make a sound at all, that thing, didn't want us to see it! He doesn't want to expose himself, if we go back the way we came, we don't have anything to do with me, and if we still insist, then we will end up like Aman! ”

Wen Qing gasped, she only felt that the large number of animals hanging on the shelf were of unknown origin, but she didn't expect that it might come from Cyan Town, she didn't think about it, she didn't dare to think about it!

In this way, it would explain why two giant dogs are enshrined in a temple not far from the village, because they are in awe of them as well as fearful.

"That thing is the giant dog that slaughtered the town in the portrait!"

Hu Zhongsheng nodded, "There is no other possibility!" ”

"That thing, it's even more difficult than I thought, it's not an ordinary livestock, judging from these few things, it maybe, even has human intelligence!"

A giant dog with an IQ? Dogs are smart, but when it comes to scheming, they won't be people's opponents, and this giant dog has far surpassed ordinary people in their game!

Wen Qing immediately shook her head, adding all this to that giant dog is still a bit far-fetched!

"Don't forget, there's also a giant man,"

Hu Zhongsheng said lightly, "However, I heard from others that the giant dog in the slaughter town back then could speak human language!" ”

"You heard a storyteller?"

As far as Wen Qing knows, there is a storyteller in Luoyang City, and the stories told by the storyteller are basically stories about the bizarre nature of Cyan Town.

Hu Zhongsheng shook his head, "No, this is the only survivor of Qingse Town back then, King Yuzhang said it himself!" ”

Wen Qing didn't speak again, but fell into a long contemplation!

After that, Zhao Moushi arranged for the three snake scale soldiers to bury Aman. Throughout the morning, a cloud of suspicion hung over everyone's heads.

Zhao Moushi did not pull out the camp and continued to advance, as if he wanted to stay here for a long time. In the afternoon, he called the three snakescales to the other side, and before he knew what to say, one of them went into the jungle with his weapons and went nowhere.

He didn't return until nightfall, and when he returned, like a rotation, another snake scale army took him into the jungle!

And Zhao Moushi has been in his cloth tent, almost never coming out, his guard Qingwa is guarding in front of his tent door, Wen Qing looked at the formation, and had to dispel the idea of asking Zhao Moushi!

She turned to Hu Zhongsheng and asked, "What do you mean, old man?" Not leaving? ”

Wen Qing originally thought that Hu Zhongsheng and Zhao Moushi were already familiar with each other, and they would more or less reveal something to him, but she didn't expect it, and Hu Zhongsheng didn't know either!

He shook his head, "I don't know why Uncle Zhao is staying here!" ”

Both were silent.

At this time, I didn't know when Ye Shen came over, but I could hear his voice coming from behind him.

"I know!"

Wen Qing and Hu Zhongsheng turned back at the same time, "What do you know?" ”

Ye Shen laughed, "That map was retrieved by me." ”

Wen Qing then remembered that the first time she saw Ye Shen was in the prison of the Criminal Department, when he was arrested and put in prison because of a painting.

Drawing, mapping...

Hu Zhongsheng was confused when he heard it, and he returned to that indifferent face! Looks like he's not interested in anything!

Wen Qing said uncertainly, "The painting you went to pick up at that time is actually a map?" Go to the map of Teal Town? ”

Ye Shen nodded.

Wen Qing thought about it and felt that it was wrong!

"But in recent years, hasn't the old man sent a team to Cyan Town every year? Didn't the map already exist? ”

Ye Shen looked around and lowered his voice, "Those are all fake maps, those maps, someone has tampered with them!" Zhao Moushi has been deceived for many years! ”

Wen Qing exclaimed, "What? False..."

Frightened, Ye Shen hurriedly covered her mouth, "Shhh, be quiet, be quiet!" I didn't tell anyone about it! ”

Wen Qing broke Ye Shen's hand, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Ye Shen glanced at Hu Zhongsheng, and he wanted to say it but didn't want to say it!

Wen Qing urged, "Anyway, it's all grasshoppers on a rope now, so there's nothing to scruple about!" Say it! ”

Ye Shen glanced at Hu Zhongsheng, his face was a little embarrassed, he said, "Back then, after the prince was rescued, he asked people to draw a picture and a map to go to Cyan Town, he was still young at the time, and he was stimulated by that incident, he didn't know why he wanted to draw that scene, he only thought in his heart at the time, he must find a chance to go back again in the future!" ”

"The scene painting was drawn directly on the spot, but the map needed the artist to go back and polish it for a long time before the complete map could be drawn, but no one expected that in the end, the artist actually handed over a fake map!"

"Fake map?"

Ye Shen nodded, "It can't be said to be completely false, that is, most of it is true, but when we arrived in our area, the map began to fork and began to go in different directions, otherwise how could Zhao Moushi have been deceived for so many years?" Cyan Town is still in this area, but the team sent by Zhao Moushi before has all gone to a fake Cyan Town! ”

"What about the real map?"

Ye Shen glanced at Zhao Moushi's cloth tent and withdrew his gaze, "The real map, it was dropped back then!" It wasn't until many years later that King Yuzhang realized that the map handed over by the painter was a fake map! ”
