Chapter 5: The White Fox Worships the Moon
For the first time, Zhang Tianyi and Lin Fan wavered about the ghostless theism in their hearts.
Behind the bushes was a pond, and Zhang Tianyi and Lin Fan were full of disbelief. In the middle of the pond floated a lotus leaf, on which a snow-white fox knelt down to the blood moon in the sky with his hands folded.
Lin Fan covered his mouth to prevent himself from calling out, Zhang Tianyi was no better, and took a breath lightly to signal Lin Fan not to be afraid.
The white fox on the lotus leaf faced the two of them, and Zhang Tianyi saw his every move. The white fox wagged its tail, its eyes glowed green, and its every movement was very humane, first dancing at the blood moon, and then jumping up with a "whoosh". When it fell, the white fox sat cross-legged on the lotus leaf, kneeling and worshipping in front of the blood moon!
Lin Fan told himself to take it easy, and then breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the white fox on the lotus leaf suddenly became alert, the tip of his nose touched frequently, and then seemed to smell something, and then turned to Zhang Tianyi, who was in the bushes, and grinned at the cat's teeth.
"Not good!" Zhang Tian was about to run as soon as he pulled Lin Fan. But the white fox behind him moved faster, and jumped straight in front of them with a "whoosh".
Zhang Tian didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately pulled out his gun and hit the white fox in front of him. The bullet left a smell of gunpowder smoke in the air and flew straight towards the white fox.
The figure of the white fox dodged in a flash, and then climbed up the tree with a puff of smoke. Zhang Tianyi and Lin Fan were back to back, and the surroundings slowly calmed down, and there was only the rough panting of the two people in the dark.
"Be careful!" The branch next to him trembled, and Zhang Tian suddenly pulled Lin Fan unconsciously, and as a result, he was facing the white fox head-on. The white fox bit Zhang Tianyi's tiger's mouth, and Zhang Tianyi was in pain for a while, and the pistol slipped from his hand.
Zhang Tianyi shook his numb wrist and said, "This animal is very smart, don't be hurt by it." ”
Lin Fan nodded. But the speed of the white fox was too fast, and the figure disappeared in a flash, and when it reappeared, it had already jumped over with its claws. Zhang Tianyi and the others couldn't dodge, and many wounds were cut by the claws of the white fox.
Zhang Tianyi leaned against the tree and gasped and said, "It's not a way to go on like this, I'll go attract its attention, and you will shoot when the time is right." ”
Without waiting for Lin Fan to answer, Zhang Tianyi ran out, and then saw a white shadow chasing after him. At this time, Lin Fan picked up the gun on the ground, but the white fox's speed was too fast to aim.
Zhang Tianyi wiped his sweat, and the white fox pounced directly without giving him a chance to breathe.
When the white fox was about to fall, Zhang Tianyi rolled to the side and shouted: "Take advantage of now, shoot quickly!" ”
Then only hearing a "bang", Lin Fan pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit the tail of the white fox. The white fox screamed desolately, and then disappeared into the darkness in a flash.
Zhang Tianyi grabbed Lin Fan, who wanted to catch up, and said, "Don't chase it, it shouldn't come." Lin Fan stopped and returned the gun to Zhang Tianyi and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." Zhang Tianyi sat on the ground and rested for a while. Lin Fan also sat down, and both of them had more or less scars on their bodies.
Lin Fan was stunned when he was sorting out his wounds, and the next second he suddenly screamed, shaking Zhang Tianyi's shoulders while pointing to the wounds on his body and saying, "Tianyi, look! Look! ”
Zhang Tianyi looked at the wounds on his and Lin Fan's bodies, and was overjoyed, the wounds on his body were exactly the same as the scars left on the female deceased's body. At this time, Zhang Tianyi's head suddenly flashed two holes in the neck of the female deceased, and after comparing the wounds on his tiger's mouth, he found that the two were exactly the same.
Lin Fan also found out about this, so he said: "We previously judged that the wound on the female deceased was caused by a big cat, and it is not difficult to see that it is very consistent with the wound on our body, the only difference is that the wound on our body is much smaller than that." ”
Zhang Tian nodded, and the bite marks on his tiger's mouth were much smaller than those on the neck of the female deceased.
After resting for more than ten minutes, the two of them began to hurry again, and the moon in the sky had changed back to its original appearance. At this time, there was a call from the front, and Zhang Tian greeted him after hearing it.
"Pleasant? What are you doing here? Zhang Tianyi looked behind Lin Keren and found that she came alone.
Lin Keren sneered: "I didn't see the two of you come back so late, I was afraid that you would be in danger, so I came over." ”
Lin Fan smiled and said, "What danger can we two big men have, let's talk about ......" Then Lin Fan suddenly remembered the white fox just now, his shoulders shook and he didn't say anything more.
Lin Keren came over and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Why are there so many wounds? ”
Zhang Tianyi didn't want Lin Keren to know about the white fox worshipping the moon for fear that she would be afraid, so he concealed it and said: "The car ran out of gas, and it was too dark to pay attention to it and was scratched by thorns a few times." ”
"By the way, which way did you get here?" Zhang Tianyi then remembered that he had already turned around the same place several times.
"This way." Lin Keren beckoned, and Zhang Tianyi and Lin Fan followed.
The three of them walked for a while, Zhang Tianyi felt that the surroundings were slowly getting cold, and at some point, the surroundings were gradually shrouded in the thick fog gushing out, and the faces of Lin Fan and Lin Keren became more and more blurred.
After a few more minutes, Lin Keren in front of him suddenly stopped, and at this time, Zhang Tian felt one strong wind after another hit his body, and the soles of his feet were cold.
Lin Fan's shout gradually blurred in the strong wind: "Where is this?" Tianyi? Lovely? Where are you? ”
Zhang Tianyi answered and asked Lin Fan not to move, and then the wind in his ears did not stop.
"Suffered! Hurry back! Zhang Tianyi pulled Lin Fan back, and with his other hand he was about to pull Lin Keren but found that he was empty.
At this time, Zhang Tianyi felt a hot pain on his body, and a white shadow flashed a few times under the thick fog.
"Brute! Don't you dare! ”
There was an angry shout from behind Zhang Tianyi, and then he heard the white fox's "whoop" and lay on the ground in a daze.
After the death of the white fox, the dense fog gradually dissipated, and Zhang Tian gasped for breath. I didn't know when I walked to the top of the mountain with Lin Fan, strong winds blew from different directions in all directions, and there was a clearing only one meter in front of me, and below, there was a cliff nearly 100 meters deep!
Lin Fan patted his chest and still had palpitations, the body of the white fox was at his feet. At this time, the white fox had lost its breath, and its body was split in two by an axe, if the white fox died a little later, it was estimated that he and Zhang Tianyi would become a puddle of meat.
"I told you not to rush when it was dark and didn't listen, do you really think you have a lot of ability?" It was Yang Yong, a carpenter from the east end of the town, who spoke it, and if he hadn't arrived in time to kill the white fox just now, maybe something would have happened.
"Thank you." Zhang Tianyi leaned against the tree to catch his breath, while Lin Fan clutched his chest to the side and looked frightened.
Zhang Tianyi suddenly remembered Lin Keren who came to pick him up at this time, and looked around but found that there was no trace of her. Zhang Tianyi looked at the cliff in front of him and was shocked, secretly thinking that Lin Keren would not fall.
Yang Yong walked over and pulled out the axe from the white fox, wiped the blood stains on it, and said, "Don't look at it, this beast's urine is poisonous, and it will hallucinate after smelling it, and you are all confused by this hooves." ”
Zhang Tianyi was relieved after hearing Yang Yong's words, fortunately it was just an illusion, but this illusion was too realistic, and he could turn into Lin Keren's appearance and lure himself to fall off the cliff step by step.
Zhang Tianyi reacted and thanked Yang Yong again and again, and Lin Fan's heart slowly calmed down at this time.
Although Zhang Tianyi was curious about Yang Yong's suddenness, after all, he was embarrassed to get to the bottom of the matter when he had just saved himself.
In the night, Zhang Tianyi glanced at the axe in Yang Yong's hand by the moonlight, and there was nothing special about the small axe that he usually used at home. But such a mediocre-looking axe was even more powerful than the bullet in his own gun in Yang Yong's hands. The speed of the white fox is obvious to all to Lin Fan, but he was still killed by Yang Yong, and Zhang Tianyi felt that Yang Yong in front of him was becoming more and more mysterious.
I was sweating just now, but now the wind is blowing and my body is cold and biting. Zhang Tianyi stomped his feet and coughed, took advantage of Yang Yong's inattention to give Lin Fan a look, and motioned for him to pack up the body of the white fox and take it back to study, maybe it was related to the murder a few days ago.
Lin Fan was interrupted by Yang Yong as soon as he made a move, Yang Yong walked to the edge of the cliff and kicked the body of the white fox down and muttered: "Harmful things, you should ......have died a long time ago."
Zhang Tianyi pretended to cough a few times and said, "It seems that Master Yang has studied this thing very much?" ”
"Let me remind you again, it's not as simple as you think. Fortunately, he met me this time, if you don't listen to the old man's persuasion again......" Yang Yong stopped in the middle of his words, raised his head to meet Zhang Tianyi's gaze, and there was a bit of threat in his eyes.
"What happens if you don't listen?" Zhang Tianyi said nonchalantly: "Meet a white fox again?" Or was he killed by someone with a heart? Zhang Tian was not stunned, and there was still a bit of warning in his gaze.
Yang Yong didn't react much after hearing this, but snorted coldly: "I have said all the good and bad things, as for whether to listen or not, it is your business." When Yang Yong left, he glanced at the two of them and said with a smile: "Officer Zhang, then I wish you to solve the case as soon as possible." ”
After Yang Yong left, Zhang Tianyi kicked the tree trunk next to him one by one, but he didn't feel pain. It's just that Yang Yong's smile when he left made him very annoyed, a little fearless, as if he was laughing at himself, and as if everything was under his control.
Zhang Tianyi looked up at the moon, and the sound of some animals getting up early to forage gradually sounded around him, and it was estimated that it would not be long before the sky dawned.
The two of them were a little tired after passing by the white fox just now, and they were not in a hurry to leave at the moment, so they found a slightly more spacious place and waited until dawn to make plans.
