Chapter Thirty-Seven: Strange Things

Zhang Renshan was confused and felt that someone was splashing something on his face, and he opened his eyes with great effort to see that it was San'er, who had just been eaten by the monster, was holding a glass of water, ready to splash it on his face, Zhang Renshan hurriedly shouted: "Don't ......", but unfortunately it was a step too late, San'er heard the sound but didn't catch it or splashed the water in his hand directly on Zhang Renshan's face.

"Oops! Burst! What are you doing! And also...... How can you still ...... I saw you with my own eyes! No...... I...... What's going on? Zhang Renshan's head was so big, and he couldn't understand what was happening in front of him.

"You're awake, I'll be explaining to you what's going on in a moment, let's go to that room and see!" As he spoke, San'er picked up Zhang Renshan, who was lying in the corridor of the wing, and walked towards the house where the stench came from before.

Zhang Renshan was pulled by San'er's head and still didn't know the current situation very well, but he seemed to understand something, but he couldn't say it at all according to his language organization ability, so he had to follow San'er first, and then talk about it when the time came.

The two of them came again, in front of the door of the room that San'er opened before, San'er took out the fire fold on his body and lit the lamp nearby, and then stepped into the house first, Zhang Renshan shook his head that was not too sober and slowly followed behind, San'er first lit the candles in the house and several other lamps used for lighting, looked at the situation in the house, the furnishings were exactly the same as the room where Zhang Renshan stayed before, after all, it was a wing room only for guests to stay, nothing too exquisite, Just let people live well.

Zhang Renshan looked around and didn't know San'er's intention to come here, so he wanted to ask San'er, but before he could speak, he saw San'er bend down violently, as if he was looking for something on the ground, Zhang Renshan was very curious by San'er's move, so he didn't speak, but waited quietly for San'er, wanting to see what he found again.

I saw San'er groping on the ground for a while, and then got up and picked up something with a few hands, and sniffed it with his nose, Zhang Renshan's curiosity was even heavier, and he just wanted to lean forward to see what San'er was in his hands, but at this time, San'er fell back violently, thanks to Zhang Renshan's reaction fast enough to catch him, otherwise San'er's head would have to be opened, Zhang Renshan hurriedly looked at San'er's situation and obviously fainted, but why did he suddenly faint?

Zhang Renshan's face was also full of puzzlement at this time, and after thinking about San'er's actions just now, he said, "Is it difficult...... What San'er smelled just now is poisonous! Is this poisoned? ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Renshan hurriedly tried to use San'er's method just now to try to wake up San'er, but before Zhang Renshan could get out of the house, San'er suddenly woke up and sat on the ground as if talking to himself: "I finally know what's going on!" Hahaha...... The last thing is not confirmed, Xian'er, we are about to succeed! Fairy? ”

Zhang Renshan heard San'er's call, but he didn't dare to answer, and said, "It's over!" Finished! Finished! Crazy, it's crazy! I can't imagine that this poison is so powerful and can make people crazy, no, I have to control him before he goes crazy and hurts people! Thinking of this, Zhang Renshan easily ripped off the gauze curtain used for decoration above the door of the house, and prepared to use it as a rope to tie San'er first, so as not to hurt people suddenly.

Seeing this, San'er knew that Zhang Renshan thought something had happened to him, and hurriedly explained: "Don't, don't! Xian'er, it's not what you think, I don't have anything, really! ”

"Are you sure you're okay?" Zhang Renshan looked at San'er suspiciously.

"It's really fine," San'er explained, waving his hand.

"Then what are you doing talking and laughing just now! And why did you faint all of a sudden? What's going on now? Zhang Renshan put the curtain in his hand aside.

"I can't say it yet, I still have to prove one thing" San'er said and walked out of the house to the outside of the wing, called a few people to take a bamboo ladder into the house, and put it on the beam, San'er climbed to the top of the bamboo ladder and looked at the beam for a while, then smiled and retreated from the top, and asked someone to take the bamboo ladder out, and he stood in the house thinking about something.

Zhang Renshan stood aside and watched for a long time, and when he saw that San'er had not spoken, he asked, "San'er, are you ...... What the hell are you doing? I don't understand anything, huh? ”

"Humph! Finally, I was able to catch these people's fox tails! San'er's sudden words completely confused Zhang Renshan, so he had to look at San'er and wait for his answer.

San'er looked at Zhang Renshan, who was looking at him, and smiled, knowing that he must be impatient, so he had to speak: "Xian'er, don't worry, I have to tell you about this matter slowly, but there is one thing I have to tell you first, that is, there are no monsters in this world at all, and everything that is strange must be man-made." ”

When Zhang Renshan heard San'er's words, he muttered the second half of San'er's sentence in a low voice: "Strange things, things are man-made?" What do you mean! San'er! Are you saying that the things we encountered before were all man-made, not some goblins and ghosts? ”

"I'm not sure, but I'm nine percent sure, according to what just happened, everything we have experienced from the beginning of Xihe to the present has been deliberately arranged by someone, everything is man-made, there are no monsters and demons at all" San'er picked the wick of the candle with a piece of bamboo in his hand, allowing the wax oil to flow downstream, which prevented the wick from burning.

"It's unlikely! So what is the 'crunch' sound we hear every time? Isn't that a monster's cry? Zhang Renshan only felt a little incredible.

"Xian'er, you asked well, that sound is also the most headache for me, why does this sound appear every time a monster appears, and it only appears after we smell the stench? At first, I also suspected that these people who had infiltrated our courtyard had brought some monsters they had trained to attack us, and that kind of monsters would emit that kind of stench and sound, but it wasn't until I saw this that I overturned this previous inference" San'er picked up something from the ground with his fingers as he spoke, and brought it to Zhang Renshan and asked him to see it.

Zhang Renshan took a closer look at the thing stuck to San'er's fingers, which was some black powder, and planned to smell it with his nose, but asked San'er to stop it, saying that this thing couldn't smell, and then Zhang Renshan looked at San'er a little strange and asked, "Why can't you smell it?" What is this? ”

"Xian'er, if you haven't forgotten, don't you remember the bronze mirror you picked up from Xihe!" San'er reminded Zhang Renshan and said.

"You mean...... You're saying that this black powder is the same as the dye on the bronze mirror, and it can make people fall into the hallucinogenic poison! Our experience is also a hallucination after poisoning? Zhang Renshan said in surprise.

"That's right! I wonder why that monster can appear in a place we don't expect every time, but instead of killing us, it can make us escape smoothly, which only shows that the monster doesn't exist at all, but someone pretended to be a monster and then used this hallucinogenic poison to confuse us, but ...... I still haven't figured it out a little," San'er said to Zhang Renshan with a frown.

"There's one more thing you haven't figured out, which one?" Zhang Renshan looked at San'er suspiciously.

"Why didn't this person pretend to be a monster kill us while we were being swept to the ground and let us go?" San'er looked at the black powder in his hand and said.

Zhang Renshan also fell into deep thought when he heard San'er say this, and only after a long time did he open his mouth and say, "Oops! You care about him so much, when the time comes, it will be clear when you catch someone and ask! ”

"Catch someone! You said it easily, where to catch it...... Not right, huh! Maybe you can catch it! San'er smiled and said.

"Where to catch? Say it quickly! Zhang Renshan heard that Neng San'er had a way, and hurriedly asked.

"We can't say it yet, so as not to startle the snake, we still have to wait for the arrival of an important thing, with which everything will be solved" San'er suddenly lowered his voice and whispered to Zhang Renshan.

"Got it! But you still have to explain to me, what are you doing up and down? Zhang Renshan pointed to the beam of the house and said.

"Oh! That's it! Do you remember the black cat that brought us the royal white jade? San'er asked rhetorically.

"Remember! How...... It's all about this black cat? No way! This murderer also committed the crime with the cat, which is unlikely! Zhang Renshan blinked and looked at San'er and said.

"Where do you want to go! Who said that the black cat was brought by the murderer, but this black cat has something to do with this monster! San'er shook off the black powder in his hand so as not to be poisoned after missmelling.

"Something to do with that monster? This...... That monster isn't pretending to be a human being! Ah! I really can't figure it out, San'er, you better talk about it quickly! Zhang Renshan urged.

San'er smiled and said, "Hmm! Xian'er, listen to me tell you slowly, when the black cat first appeared in our room, I was very strange, why the first cat was covered in mud, and there were strange pieces of paper in the mouth, and the second cat was very clean, as if it had just taken a bath, and I found that these cats are not afraid of people, the most important thing is that these cats are clear about the furnishings in this room, where you can walk, where you can hide, they are all familiar with the road, that is to say, people often bring these cats to this room, Let these cats be familiar with the environment here, and then I want to prove my own guess so I went up to the beam of the house to see, thinking that this wing has been a long time no one has come to live, although someone often comes to clean, but the beam is absolutely not touched, it will be covered with dust, according to what I think this beam will leave a lot of cat paw prints, after all, the first black cat we saw is walking on this beam, as expected, when I went to see it, all the marks that the cat had stepped on, So this means that this black cat was deliberately kept in this wing."

"Oh! But you've said so much, and you haven't made it clear what the connection between this black cat and that monster is? You can only mean that someone has this black cat! Zhang Renshan said.

"Xian'er, don't worry! After I finished speaking, when I entered this room just now, didn't I smell something on the ground and faint! At that time, I noticed one thing, that is, this black powder may be generated by this black cat, I just guess! All this will have to wait until that thing arrives to be conclusive," San'er slowly looked at Zhang Renshan and said.
