Chapter 161: The Bloody Case of Yang Village (7)
He Lei didn't understand, why did the old man speak so coldly? He looked at the old and the young carefully, and felt a little strange. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Old man, this child is your grandson? Where are your son and daughter-in-law? He Lei asked curiously.
"They're all dead." The old man said expressionlessly.
"How did you die?" He Lei felt strange and asked with concern.
"It's all those robbers, devils who kill people without blinking." The old man scolded angrily.
When He Lei heard that it was the robbers, he remembered what the horn monster said, and he was even more convinced that the horn spirit was the murderer.
"Uncle, have you ever heard of clawworms?" He Lei asked suddenly.
The old man looked up at He Lei carefully, and saw that He Lei was young and majestic, and asked in amazement, "Who are you?" How do you know about croissants? ”
"To tell you the truth, I am the acting judge He Lei, who was ordered to investigate the Yangcun bloodbath, I suspect that all this is related to those robbers, the leader of those robbers is not a person, he is a sheep's horn spirit living in Yanshan." He Lei said.
"Are you the judge who caught the monster in Fengcheng? I heard that you are very capable, why did you come? Do you know how many people we've died here? The old man looked at He Lei with puzzled eyes and asked.
"I can't help it, I fell into the trap of monsters, and I learned yesterday that Loess County is not peaceful. Old man, how many people have died in your village? He Lei asked.
"Alas-one, a good village is gone if it says no, seventy or eighty people, large and small, die so miserably!." The old man said with a long sigh.
"Why are you two alright?" He Lei felt strange.
"Our family lives in the middle of the village, and in the middle of the night, my son got up easily, heard movement outside, quietly went out, and overheard the robbers talking, it turned out to be a group of devils who were digging people's hearts. He was startled, and hurriedly went into the house and hid us in the cellar, which was too small, and the couple had to find another way, but before they could find a place to hide, the robbers broke in, killed the couple and set fire to the house. That's all the poor son and daughter-in-law...... dead, even corpses...... I can't find it, woo-" said the old man and cried sadly.
He Lei listened to the old man's story, and felt very sad in his heart, and comforted: "Old man, people can't be resurrected after death, let's mourn and change!" Don't worry, I will avenge this revenge for you. ”
"Thank you, thank you, Lord He." The old man said gratefully.
"Old man, can you take me to your house?" He Lei asked.
"Come with me!" The old man stood up and led the little boy into the village with a staggering step.
He Lei and the others followed, and when they saw the burned houses, collapsed walls, and disorganized footprints, they understood what was going on.
The old man took He Lei to a collapsed small wooden house, pointed to the ashes, and choked up: "This is my home, it was fine two days ago, but it became like this overnight, except for our grandfather and grandson, the rest of the people in the village are dead, and their hearts have been gouged out." ”
He Lei was even more surprised when he heard this, he never dreamed that the situation here was somewhat similar to the Yangcun Bloody Case, the difference was that there were a mess of footprints here.
"Old man, how far is it from Yanshan Mountain?" He Lei asked.
"There are about fifty or sixty miles left, and they are all mountain roads, and there are often robbers who haunt them, so it is not easy to walk." The old man said.
"Where are the robbers' lair?" He Lei asked.
"I heard passers-by say that in Yanshan, the king of the mountain is a short old man with a goatee, and he is very capable." The old man said.
"It's a half-old man again, needless to say, it must be a sheep's horn spirit, the sheep's horn is meticulous and ruthless, with him entrenched in Yanshan, the nearby people will suffer, and they must be eliminated as soon as possible. Ladies and gentlemen, the situation has changed, and we have to travel overnight. He Lei said.
"Lord He, you care about the people and are our good parents, we listen to you." Yang Huzi, Master Niu, and Ma Xiucai said in unison.
"Lord He, the home is gone, and our grandparents have no place to stay, so you can take us on the road together! I'm familiar with the terrain in this area, and I can find the path with my eyes closed, so maybe I can help along the way. The old man automatically asked.
"Old man, you are old, your legs and feet are not dexterous, this child is young, and he can't walk at night, so forget it!" He Lei politely refused.
"Lord He, although the old man is old, in order to avenge his son and daughter-in-law, no matter how hard and tired he is, he is not afraid, I can't carry this child on his back, I won't drag you down, don't worry!" The old man insisted on going. ”
"The old man is close to Yanshan, and it is best to have him as a guide at night, but what about children? It's not safe to stay here, and it's troublesome to take him with you, since they insist on going, let them go. He Lei thought about it carefully and had to agree.
It was midnight, and the group was hurrying with torches, the old man and his grandson walked in front, He Lei walked behind the old man, the horn monster walked behind He Lei, and the three Yangbeard brothers were monitoring the horn monster behind. After walking for about two hours, I came to the foot of Yan Mountain.
"Lord He, those robbers live on the mountain, there is a mountain temple on the mountain, and there is a dustless Taoist temple, there was originally a dustless Zen master in the Taoist temple, there are two Taoist children around the dustless Zen master, a few years ago, the three masters and apprentices suddenly disappeared, it is said that they were killed by the robbers, and now, these robbers live in the Taoist temple, and some live in the mountain temple." The old man introduced.
The old man spoke earnestly, and He Lei was convinced when he heard it.
"Old man, can you take us to the Taoist temple?" He Lei asked.
"Those robbers kill people without blinking, and the grass people dare not go up the mountain, please forgive me." The old man hurriedly excused himself.
"So be it! You tell me the way up the mountain, and I'll meet the robbers. He Lei made up his mind.
"My lord, the three of us brothers are ordinary people, we don't dare to alarm those monsters, we are waiting for you at the bottom of the mountain, you take care." Willowbeard was afraid of those monsters and did not dare to go up the mountain.
"Big brother, Lord Ariga is here, what are you afraid of? I also want to confirm the identity of that half-old man, if it is really a horn spirit, I will not let him go, I will avenge the father and folks in my hometown. "Ma Xiucai, who is strong in blood, is a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers.
"In my opinion, everyone goes together, one more person has more strength." Master Niu thought for a while and said.
"Horn spirit, you should have a connection with them, it's time for you to behave well, I hope you take the opportunity, remember, this is your chance to be born again, only once." He Lei advised.
"Don't worry, as long as I can, I will spare no effort." The horn spirit agreed.
When dawn comes, the morning glow is full of sky, and the Yanshan Mountain covered by the primeval forest looks even more verdant. The early birds chirped in the forest, and the long crash of the morning bell came from the Taoist temple, followed by three horns.
