It wasn't long before dawn and the sun hadn't risen, and it stands to reason that the old scalper had been dead for no more than five hours at most, but I don't know why, I always smelled an inexplicable stench.

It smelled like rot and not like the smell of manure in the livestock barn, in short, it was a strange smell, but it was not clear what it was.

"Brother Liang Qiang, help me turn over the carcass of this cow, and I'll take a look at the situation on the back. I looked at Liang Qiang, who heard the news, and spoke.

Although the carcass of this cow is now only skinned and bone, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, no matter what, the weight of this carcass is still not light, so I called Liang Qiang to help turn over the carcass of the cow.

Liang Qiang nodded, pulled up his sleeves, and turned the bulky cattle carcass over, as soon as I turned over, I saw the puddle of blood under the cow carcass, which had solidified into black at this time.

In addition to the bloodstains, I also noticed that the carcass of the cow had two bloody holes in its neck, about the size of half a fingernail, which looked horrifying.

And a large pool of blood on the ground seems to have flowed out of this blood hole.

Looking at this bloody hole, I fell into deep thought, originally I thought that the inexplicable death of livestock in this village might have something to do with the outbreak of the plague this season.

So when I heard Liang Qiang say it at that time, I didn't care about it, thinking that as long as I used drugs to control the epidemic, I would just do it.

But now, when I saw the corpse of this scalper with my own eyes, I realized that I would not have a say in the incident itself without careful observation.

Judging from these two blood holes alone, the location is at the neck, and it can be roughly judged that these two blood holes are an important cause of the death of the cattle, because the location of the blood holes is in the place of the major artery, and the cause of death of the cattle is excessive blood loss.

These two blood holes don't look like they've been stabbed out by some weapon, but they look like marks of being bitten by some animal.

However, ordinary animals, except for lions and tigers, do not have such big teeth at all, and the skin of the ox is very thick, and being able to bite through such a thick cowhide shows that the animal has a lot of strength.

But there can't be lions and tigers in this waterfront village, for a while, I fell into deep thought, but gradually, a bold idea suddenly rose in my mind.

The size and shape of this wound made me feel more familiar the more I looked at it, and even made me wonder in my heart, was this cow bitten to death by a zombie?

After all, because of what happened last time, the zombie king must have been released, so it's not surprising that he came to this village to make trouble.

However, even if I think about it now, this is just my guess, I can't be sure, looking at the doubts of Liang Qiang and others, I am thinking, should I tell them the truth or find an excuse to prevaricate in the past.

"How is it, Xiaoxin, do you see anything wrong?" Before I could think of a countermeasure, Jiang Shuai didn't know when it came out again, and asked me with a solemn face.

"This ......" I looked at the cow carcass on the ground, looked at Jiang Shuai and Liang Qiang with a hesitant expression, and Liang Qiang on the side keenly caught the narrowness in my eyes, and chuckled.

"It's okay, Xiaoxin, you say, we all listened to the results, this time I went to Linshui Mountain with your group, I have seen all the strange things, and I am afraid that this will not happen?"

Looking at the smile on Liang Qiang's face, I sighed and decided to tell the truth, after all, it is not a way to hide it, if this matter is not solved, it may become a big scourge in Linshui Village in the future.

"Well, this trace is obviously not man-made, and neither are animals, because there can't be such a large animal in Linshui Village, so the only explanation is zombies. “

I looked at everyone's expectant eyes, hesitated for a while, but still spoke, and sure enough, as soon as the words fell, it caused a breath from everyone.

But Jiang Shuai and Liang Qiang on the side didn't have a big reaction as I expected, and after listening to my words, they were only briefly surprised for a while, and then they didn't react.

However, Qingfang's sister-in-law and this woman looked incredulous, and they immediately started to discuss.

"No, I think it's just a sign of some kind of beast bite, how can there be any zombies, our side has always been relatively peaceful, how can there be zombies. ”

It was the owner of the old scalper who said this, and she looked at me with a skeptical expression, and it was clear that she did not agree with me.

Qingfang's sister-in-law stood on the side with a look of embarrassment, obviously she definitely didn't believe in this matter, but maybe because I was present and didn't say it explicitly, she just pulled the woman's sleeve with a look of embarrassment.

"There are no absolutes, my sister is a professional Taoist priest, she can't be wrong about what she sees, let's take a look first. Sister-in-law Qingfang said as she threw a reassuring look at me.

Feeling Qingfang's sister-in-law's eyes, my heart was comforted, at first I just had an attitude of watching this matter, but now, not only out of professional ethics but also in terms of their trust in me, I have secretly made up my mind, and I am in charge of this matter.

"Don't worry, everyone, even if my judgment is not accurate, but there is a chance that it will be nine times out of ten, my profession is this, and I will not talk nonsense, tonight I will lay a trap to lure this monster out of the hole, and when the time comes, we will know whether it is a person or a ghost. ”

There were more and more people in the courtyard who heard the sound, and many of them had just heard me say that this scalper was bitten to death by a zombie, and they all came over with the attitude of watching jokes.

I'm sure they think I'm boasting, but in fact, I also have a plan in mind.

Back at Liang Qiang's house, our plan to leave for home today has also been interrupted and shelved, and the most important thing now is to solve this matter with peace of mind.

"Cousin, you help me buy some cinnabar, it's best to get some black dog blood and black donkey hooves, I'll need it here." "As soon as I had dinner, I assigned Jiang Shuai a task.

Although Linshui Village is in the mountains, Jiang Shuai can drive and it is still early, so he helped me buy these things back, just around six o'clock.

If it was really the Corpse King, he must have come out to forage after midnight, because that time was the heaviest time of the day.

Although I haven't seen the true face of this monster, I have already made up my mind seven or eight points in my heart, this is a zombie, but we don't know if it's the corpse king in the dungeon.

Since it's a zombie, then the black dog blood and the black donkey's hooves can definitely come in handy, and the only thing I'm worried about now is that if it's not an ordinary white zombie, but the corpse king, the corpse king who has even been defeated by Mo Xucheng and four people, if I run into it, it will definitely be tricky.

To be honest, I still miss Wang Meng a little now, and I don't mean anything else, just because every time I face difficulties, Wang Meng is busy in front of and behind me, clearing obstacles for me, and helping me solve all the problems that may occur, I don't have to worry about anything.

And this time to investigate this matter, it is also the first time that I have left Wang Meng to face such difficulties, but. So what, I'm always going to grow.

To be honest, I should still be grateful to Wang Meng, if this incident hadn't happened this time, I wouldn't have been able to see his true face, and I would still have to hide under his protection as a fledgling.

To be honest, I've been so busy these days that I don't even have time to think about things, but now that I've suddenly had a gap to spare, the bits and pieces of the past naturally come to mind.

"You're really haunted. I smiled wryly and muttered to myself.

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Shuai's voice suddenly came after the voice, and I immediately turned my head to look at him.

"Didn't I tell you to go shopping? Why did you come back again? ”

"I came back to get the car keys, I forgot to take them, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw you squatting on the ground in a daze, calling you so many times that you shouldn't be me, and then I saw you smirking and talking to yourself alone, I thought something was wrong with you. ”

Jiang Shuai scratched his head and said with a simple face.

...... "Was I giggling just now?" I hated Wang Meng before it was too late, thinking about how he could still giggle.

"Gotta gotcha, you hurry up and go shopping, it will be bad if you don't come back at night, the mountain road is not easy to walk. I gave him a helpless look and pushed him out of the courtyard door.

At this time, the sun has risen high, shining warmly on the body, there is still a lot of time until eleven o'clock in the evening, and the most important thing now is to find a bait.

However, now that the village is so afraid of this monster, who would contribute their own livestock as this bait?

Originally, I was going to lay out a formation first, which can specifically restrain the demon zombies, and then put the bait in the middle of the formation, and then we only need to wait on the side to see the zombies.

As long as the zombie sees the bait coming to hunt for food, then it will definitely enter my magic circle, and when the time comes, it will be a matter of catching the zombie alive.

Originally, everything was planned well and clearly, but now I have made a mistake at the first step, and the bait is the most important thing in the whole process.

Zombies live by sucking blood, so they must need living creatures, although the effect of human blood is better, but this is too risky, and you can only choose to use livestock. But the problem is that the people in the village don't believe me when they hear me talk about zombies.

How could they donate their livestock to this man-eating monster?

"Xiaoxin, what are you worried about?" When I was in trouble, Liang Qiang walked past me, since he and we met, Liang Qiang also called me Xiaoxin with the zombies, I saw him, paused, and planned to speak.
