The atmosphere of this place is very mixed, from the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, it seems that this place should have been repaired, but after the Qing Dynasty, few people came, let alone repaired.

But I don't know for what reason, even if no one repaired it for two or three hundred years, the building here has not been eroded by moisture, I saw the bricks on the wall, the surface of the bricks was slightly moist, but obviously not soaked by the moisture, and the bricks on the top of the wall used to dig are also intact.

It is said that this place is damp all year round, and it should have been damp a long time ago.

Lao Zuo still had a few points to bring Li Huaishan and them over, and I walked a few steps along the wall and checked a bronze gate not far away.

In this town, all the houses are surrounded by courtyards of various sizes, and all the courtyard gates are made of double-open copper plates embedded with fifteen door nails, and there is no padlock nose on the door, and there is no knocker for pulling the door panel, which is very strange.

I looked carefully at the bronze door in front of my face, and the class was very clean, except for the occasional little bit of moisture.

Then I pushed the door into the yard and checked the furnishings in the yard, and there were all kinds of household items in the house.

After walking around like this, although I didn't find anything abnormal, I felt very awkward in my heart.

Lao Zuo had already returned to the alley with the people, and I walked out of the courtyard to meet them.

"What's new?" As soon as Lao Zuo saw me, he asked.

I shook my head, "I didn't find anything, this place is weird." ”

At this time, Huang Yuzhong suddenly said: "There is a smell of blood." ”

Why didn't I smell blood?

I couldn't help but ask him, "Where did the blood come from?" ”

"In the bricks," Huang Yuzhong said, leaning down and hitting the beam of light on a brick close to the ground, "Look, there are blood stains here. ”

I also just saw that there was indeed a heavy blood mark on that brick, and there were scattered blood spots on the ground.

Probably because the place was too old for me to smell the faint blood, and because what the ghost eye saw in the dark had no color, I couldn't be sure if the blood stains hanging on the bricks were the damp air or something else.

Huang Yuzhong dipped his hand in the blood spots on the ground, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, then raised his head and said, "Fresh, more than one person's blood." ”

I asked him, "Is it the blood of Jodah?" ”

Huang Yuzhong pouted: "I don't know that person." ”

I frowned, and looked up at the top of the mud tower.

We had been at the top of the Lonely Mountain for so long, and it would have taken me a whole day just to crack the secret door, and Liu Shangang had been on the top of the mountain for so long, and if someone had arrived there before us and set up camp there, he would have noticed something.

After entering the secret door, I have not noticed any sign of anyone entering before us, but the blood on the ground is fresh, which seems to make some sense.

I asked Huang Yuzhong: "How long ago was the bloodstain?" ”

Huang Yuzhong sniffed the blood on the tips of his fingers carefully again, and responded, "No more than an hour." ”

Li Huaishan was a little anxious from just now, and at this moment he couldn't suppress the irritability in his heart anymore, and shouted: "Yoda can't be in distress, right?" ”

I waved my hand and motioned for him not to shout yet, and then asked Huang Yuzhong, "Can you smell the blood of several people?" ”

Huang Yuzhong dipped his finger in a few other blood spots, and only after half a meal did he speak: "At least four people." ”

After the words landed, everyone fell silent, and the sky over Mud Town was suddenly covered by a deathly silence.

During this period, Huang Yuzhong was the only one who was not idle, he took a few steps back with a flashlight, and deliberately checked the situation near the mouth of the alley, and there was no blood in other places.

Less than an hour ago, four people were injured here, and at that time we were on the mud tower not far from here, but we didn't notice any unusual movement, not even Huang Yuzhong, who had a keen sense of the five senses.

If there is only one injury, it is possible that he was accidentally scratched, it may be that he was scratched by the scalp of the can when he opened the can, or it may be that he walked inattentively and fell to the ground and broke his head.

But what if four people were injured at the same time? Got your hands cut by cans? Knocked out of the head?

No matter how stupid I am, I could have thought that they must have been attacked here, silently.

The atmosphere became more and more depressing in the silence, and finally Lao Zuo broke the silence: "Be careful, let's continue to take a closer look." ”

This time I didn't dare to let Li Huaishan take the lead, Lao Zuo habitually walked to the front of the team, I went to the back hall, and the person who walked in front of me was Liang Houzai.

The town is very large, and the roads extend in all directions, and such roads seem to be organized, but in fact, they really walk in it, but they don't know where to turn or which direction to turn like a headless fly.

Along the way, Huang Yuzhong had to stop from time to time to check the corner and the ground, about every hundred meters, he could find a bloodstain from the ground, Lao Zuo stopped from time to time, and determined which direction to go next according to the direction of the bloodstain.

About twenty minutes later, Lao Zuo led us into a large courtyard near the bridge.

This yard is bigger than the ones we've seen before, but the furnishings in the yard are nothing special, and the real special thing is the arch bridge near it.

There was no river in the town, and there was no dry river in sight, and the arch bridge was built on a dry road, and on both sides of the bridge was very flat, but the stone slabs of the bridge were pressed by oxen and horse-drawn carts.

When I saw the arched bridge, I felt awkward in my heart, as if I saw a stunning beauty with a horsehair beard on her face.

When Lao Zuo entered the courtyard gate, he also glanced towards the arched bridge, and I saw him frown vigorously.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Huang Yuzhong quickly turned his flashlight and saw three pools of blood in the corner of the wall, at the door of the house, and on the edge of a stone flower bed.

Each puddle of blood is not large, most of the time it is just a blood stain, and occasionally you can see some blood spots scattered everywhere.

The bloodstains near the door of the house were the last to be found, Huang Yuzhong came to the door with a flashlight, first took a look at the bloodstains on the ground, and then pointed to the door, meaning to ask me if I wanted to go in.

In fact, even if there is no pool of blood at the door of the house, I still want to go in to have a look, the rooms here are only equipped with hollow window frames, but there is no oilskin paper on the windows, the ghost eye through the hollow window holes, may be very clear to see what is in the room, before I came in, I saw that on a table of eight immortals near the door of the house, there was a tattered travel bag, and there were some blood-stained bandages on the table, as well as a metal tweezers used to catch alcohol cotton.

The wounded were bandaged here.

I tapped Huang Yuzhong on the shoulder, made him dodge slightly, and then pushed the door into the room, Lao Zuo immediately followed, and the others also stepped over the threshold with their feet in front and back.

Huang Yuzhong scrutinized the bandages, while I opened the backpack on the table and looked at it.

The bag contained some conventional items for use in the ground, as well as a book printed in Yi script, and the words looked like they were taken down from the stone tablet, and after the runes were printed and bound into a book, it became such a rotten book.

None of the people present could understand the Yi script, and there was no way to know what was written on it.

But one thing is certain, that is, at the moment, this backpack does not belong to Yoda, because the few clothes prepared in it do not match Yoda's figure, Yoda is more than one meter nine tall, and his figure is also unusually burly, but the clothes here, I estimate that even adult women are difficult to wear, and they are simply clothes that can only be worn by children.

At this moment, Huang Yuzhong, who had been checking the bandages since the beginning, suddenly exclaimed: "Oops! ”

He shuddered me so violently that I couldn't help but blame him: "What are you doing! ”

Huang Yuzhong threw the bandage in his hand and said stupidly: "When I touched the blood on the bandage just now, it was like being soaked in anesthetic medicine, and it was numb from my fingertips to my elbows. ”

Hemp X medicine?

I grabbed the bandage and tried it, and sure enough, as soon as I touched the blood on it, my palm was numb, but soon, the toxicity of the numbing poison was dissolved by the poisonous blood on my body.

I don't think I've seen this kind of poison somewhere.

Thinking so, my eyes still fell on the narrow clothes.

A small figure that I hadn't seen for a long time suddenly appeared in my mind, it was a dwarf with a head as big as an adult, a body and limbs, but short and thick, his name was Hudebarth.

Since Li Huaishan was sent by Shezihua to the present, I have not heard from Bals, but when I went to West Kunlun to participate in the Spring Festival last year, he sent me a note and reported a letter, telling me that the people of Buzhou Mountain wanted to kill me.

The old family is kind to Balth's family, and this guy can be regarded as a dark line in our Buzhou Mountain.

It seems that he should be among the people who arrived in Mud Town before us.

Li Huaishan asked me coldly: "What are you thinking, I've been seeing you wandering lately." ”

I said, "Remember Hudebarth?" ”

Li Huaishan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, stared at the small clothes on the table and said, "He's here?" ”

I lifted the bandage in my hand, nodded and said, "This is the code that Balth left for us, he wants to tell us that he is here, and the people from Buzhou Mountain are also here." ”

Lao Zuo frowned and said, "How did the people from Buzhou Mountain come in?" ”

I put down the bandages and said, "It must have been Yoda who brought them in, and there should be another way in besides Lonely Mountain." And I guess that Yoda brought the people of Buzhou Mountain into the mountain, which should be the meaning of the Great Witch of Nojak. ”
