Chen Chao secretly sighed, walked to An Pingyuan's side, and asked, "Brother An, what did you find?" ”

An Pingyuan squatted on the ground, looking for traces on the grass, for a long time, shook his head, and said: "The murderer has a very high attainment, at least he has reached the realm of 'flying on the grass', and it is impossible to find her by the traces." ”

An Pingyuan's strength is that he is proficient in tracking skills, but the murderer has not left a trace, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and An Pingyuan has no way.

……

In the next three days, Chen Chao accompanied An Pingyuan to the nearby rural town to investigate and secretly visit, but with little success, all he heard were various versions of the fox demon legend, which had no reference value at all.

Noon.

Chen Chao sat down at the tea stall on the side of the road to rest, swallowed a life-sustaining pill with tea, watched the close-fitting jade pendant turn from yellow to green, and sighed secretly: I don't know when it will be a head to live by taking life-sustaining pills......

When he received the hospital diagnosis before the crossing and couldn't live for half a month, Chen Chao also saw it and felt that it didn't matter, as long as it was a person, who didn't die the day, but now that he has the hope of living after the crossing, he naturally has to find a way to live.

But the road to life is so bumpy......

However, the old man said that after he upgraded to LV2, he would have the ability to help me cure the crux of the terminal illness, and I still need to continue to work hard, work hard to earn prestige, work hard to save positive energy, and work hard to make the old man upgrade.

At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and An Pingyuan rode his horse, bolted the horse to the side of the road, and came to sit down in front of Chen Chao.

Chen Chao made a bowl of tea, pushed it to An Pingyuan along the table, and asked, "Brother An, how is the situation in the city?" ”

An Pingyuan drank the bowl of tea in a few sips, and said to Chen Chao: "The city has issued a ban on footing, young scholars are only allowed to enter, not to go out, and the nearby towns and villages are closed before it gets late, and the young and strong all go out together, the murderer has no chance, and it should stop for a while." In the same way, we may have to stop for a while, unless we wait for the end of the temple examination and the scholars return to their hometowns, then the murderer will have a chance to commit the crime again......"

When Chen Chao heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning, it doesn't matter if An Pingyuan is a healthy and healthy living person who waits for another ten days and a half months, but Chen Chao can't.

Chen Chao is riddled with evil diseases, there are only three life-sustaining pills left, full of calculations, at most enough to last more than nine days, time is life, the case cannot be solved, there is no positive energy to exchange for life-sustaining pills, Chen Chao only has a dead end, and only by taking the initiative can he have a way to live.

Chen Chao organized his language and said to An Pingyuan: "Let's follow the clues to investigate layer by layer, although it is decent, but it is too passive, only if the murderer commits the crime again, we will have a chance to catch her." ”

"But now that the scholars who are rushing for the exam have been grounded, and the young and strong people in the townships and towns are traveling together, they are all on guard, and the murderer has no chance to start." An Pingyuan was a little helpless in his words.

"The murderer doesn't have a chance, so won't we create a chance?" Chen Chao smiled.

An Pingyuan thought about it for a while, and suddenly looked at Chen Chao: "Since Brother Chen said so, do you already have a clever plan?" ”

"There is no clever plan, but there is a clumsy plan, but the custody let the murderer be fooled, and obediently come to the bowl." Chen Chao said as he slammed the tea bowl on the table.

"Brother, don't sell it, if you have any good plans, hurry up and listen to it." An Pingyuan urged vigorously, and knew that Chen Chao had a lot of ghost ideas.

Chen Chao smiled: "It's very simple, since the murderer can't wait to continue committing the crime, then we might as well pretend to be a scholar, use our body as bait to lure the murderer to the bait, and when he appears, we will capture one of them." ”

An Pingyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded frequently.

Chen Chao said again: "Besides, this murderer has repeatedly succeeded in committing crimes, contempts the official, and is so unscrupulous, he must be taken lightly." Although our trick is not very clever, it is enough to make the murderer throw himself into the net. ”

An Pingyuan thought about it for a while and thought it was feasible, but then remembered another question: "Brother Chen, the bait that lured the murderer ...... bait"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Chao said: "I'll play this bait, it's just a scholar, it's easy." ”

An Pingyuan shook his head like a rattle and objected: "Brother Chen, there is indeed no problem with your appearance and pretending to be a scholar, but I am worried about your skills...... This murderer is so vicious, after discovering that he has been deceived, he is angry and ashamed, I am afraid that it will not be good for you, and I can't support you in a hurry...... Or shall I come? You are responsible for answering. ”

"Brother An's words are wrong." Chen Chao further persuaded An Pingyuan: "Not to mention Brother An, your appearance is not like a scholar, coupled with your profound skills, it is very likely that the murderer will find out in advance, and your success will fall short." ”

"Besides, I already have a certain level of swordsmanship, and I believe that there is no problem in self-preservation in a short period of time, but I can't do it lightly, and if I respond to it from the outside, it won't help at all. You said before that the murderer's light skills have reached the realm of 'flying on the grass', but I am afraid that only Brother An, who is outside, can intercept the murderer and capture him. ”

An Ping is far from being a stupid person, Chen Chao is reasonable, and if he wants to succeed, he can only follow Chen Chao's method.

"Okay." An Pingyuan finally nodded and agreed, but then admonished: "Brother, this murderer is ruthless, and there are countless dead souls in his hands, you must be careful and careful when you make bait yourself." No matter what the outcome is, you must put your own life safety first, you know? ”

Chen Chao smiled calmly and said, "I will." ”

……

Next, Chen Chao went to the city to go to the ready-to-wear shop to spend ten yuan and pick out a set of scholar's clothes, and after changing into it, he was equipped with a folding fan, and he suddenly became a personable and merry talent, at least on the surface.

Since then, Chen Chao has been wandering around the lakes and mountains outside the city every day with a folding fan, and An Pingyuan has secretly protected and paid attention to the murderer's movements at any time.

In this way, three days have passed, and it has been calm, and there has been nothing unusual about it, and the legendary fox demon that will hurt people's lives has not appeared at all.

"Brother Chen, did we show our feet somewhere and were detected by the murderer?" An Pingyuan picked an opportunity to discuss with Chen Chao in a hidden place.

swaggered around for three days without finding a single hair of the murderer, which has to make people suspicious.

Chen Chao was quite calm, and said with a smile: "Brother An, don't worry, think about it, the murderer already knows that the city has issued a ban on foot, she has no chance, maybe she is dormant somewhere." Just like fishing, you have to be patient before you take the bait. Wait a minute, I'll go for a walk farther away, Brother An, don't follow too closely, I believe the murderer will definitely take the bait. ”

An Pingyuan nodded, patted Chen Chao's shoulder again, and admonished: "If the murderer really appears, don't be too strong, in case you can't do anything, pull the arrow I gave you, and support will come!" ”
