Chapter 173: Rumors of Mandrills
readx;? Yang Jing saw the rotten wound on Lu Yueniang's arm, and she frowned, even if Lu Yueniang was a suspect, she shouldn't let her wound deteriorate like this!
"You don't treat her wounds like this?" Yang Jing's face was a little ugly, and he asked those catchers and Yuan Weidao. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your Excellency... There are no female dependents in the inn, and the deer girl is not allowed to touch her... And she's always resisted us... Speak ill of each other at every turn, and the brethren don't bother to touch this mold..."
The catchers explained like this, but it seemed that Lu Yueniang was a little self-inflicted, but Yang Jing also knew that these catchers did not dare to deceive him, and he also knew Lu Yueniang's temperament, it seemed that Lu Yueniang really did it herself.
Yang Jing glanced at Song Fengya, who nodded, and went out to get a medicine box from the carriage and came back.
Lu Yueniang was afraid that these people who caught fast and the post station would take advantage of the situation and humiliate her and Zhou Nanchu, so she didn't let these people heal her injuries.
But they all knew Song Fengya, this was the daughter of Song Ge Lao, and she would help take care of the wounds, so Lu Yueniang naturally had no reason to resist.
Although Song Fengya is not an ordinary woman, she is a girl in the end, the wound has rotted and suppurated, and the thin white worms have penetrated into it, and she can't help but run out and vomit before she has cleaned the wound.
Seeing this, Yang Jing stepped forward and said, "I'll come." ”
Lu Yueniang wanted to refuse, but Yang Jing had already grabbed her wrist without saying anything, and cleaned Lu Yueniang's wounds with the salt water that had just been mixed.
The maggots in the wound actually have an anti-inflammatory effect, they will eat the rotten muscles and tissues, so after washing away these maggots and blood stains, the wound will reveal bright red granulations, and the direct stimulation of salt water will soon make Lu Yueniang sweat in pain.
But this stubborn Miao girl was stunned and gritted her teeth, until Yang Jing put on an external medicine powder for him, and bandaged it with a clean bandage, she didn't even cry out for pain during the whole process, not even a slight **!
It wasn't until Yang Jing packed up the medicine box that she breathed a long sigh of relief, but her lips had already been bitten, and blood slid down the corners of her mouth, which couldn't help but be moving.
Yang Jing took the opportunity to analyze: "This wound should be injured by sharp claws, some like a blind bear, but the claws are narrow and long, and they are also much smaller, and they are not like tigers and wolves, you said that thing looks like a human form, maybe it is really a human, but it is with a fist glove or a strange blade such as a finger tiger..."
Yang Jing actually knew in his heart that this was not a sharp weapon injury, because the wound of a sharp weapon would be very smooth, but these three wounds had obvious lacerations, judging from the wounds, they were in line with the characteristics of a beast attack.
But Yang Jing knew that Lu Yueniang deliberately acted against herself, and she would not communicate with herself without words to provoke and provoke.
Sure enough, Lu Yueniang came to a conclusion when she saw that Yang Jing was so arbitrary, and clearly overturned everything she just said, and she was not happy on the spot!
"I said it! It's not human! It's fast, but I'm sure it's not human! Because the way it moves is so weird, and even if I close my eyes, I know it's not human!"
"Why are you so sure?" Yang Jing knew that in this case, Lu Yueniang was unlikely to tell a lie, but he still didn't believe it, if it was a beast that hurt people, after breaking into the house, the beast would attack three people indiscriminately, how could it only attack two people, but leave Zhou Nanchu as a prisoner?
Lu Yueniang saw that Yang Jing still didn't believe her, and was so angry that she wanted to tear off all the bandaged wounds, and she was aggrieved and angry in her heart.
At this moment, Zong Yun said lightly: "This girl is telling the truth. ”
Yang Jing was also worried that Zong Yun really only planned to make a move when his life was in danger, how did he know that Zong Yun also wanted to have a good relationship with him, so that he could learn all the moves of Tai Chi as soon as possible.
"How do you know she's telling the truth?" Yang Jing still wished that Zong Yun would take the initiative to speak, and he was also a little surprised in his heart, could it be that this Zong Yun was the same as Wang Buliu, and could see through other people's thoughts?
It is said that Wang Buliu once cultivated in the Baiyun Temple, and this Baiyun Temple is one of the dojos of the Quanzhen Sect, so it is hard to guarantee that their skills were not learned from the same place!
Zong Yun snorted coldly and said: "It's a shame that you still boast that you judge the case like a god, this girl is a member of the Miao family, and she lives in the mountains and forests, and the smell of people and beasts can still be distinguished, even if you can't see the appearance of that thing clearly, you can determine whether it is a person or a beast based on the smell alone." ”
Lu Yueniang heard Zong Yun mocking Yang Jing, and also broke through her heart, and she had a kind of confidant to Zong Yun.
Yang Jing smiled and retorted, "Can't a person have the smell of a beast on his body? What if this person grew up in a beast's den since he was a child?"
Lu Yueniang saw that the more Yang Jing said, the more outrageous it became, the more she said it, the more she said it, and snorted with a cold face: "If you don't believe it, forget it, why bother to quibble, how can anyone in this world grow up in the beast's den, you are obviously deliberately looking for fault, if you want to frame me and Brother Zhou, just say it, why pretend to act!"
Yang Jing just said it casually, in order to stimulate them to continue the discussion, so that more useful information could be dug out of her mouth, and the reason why he said this was also influenced by those legends, it is said that the ancestors of the Turks were not fed by wolves.
He had already expected Lu Yueniang's reaction to be so strong, and he was ready to refute, but he heard the old post Cheng Yuan Weidao interject in a whisper: "Push the lord, the villain... Can the villain say a word?"
What Yang Jing wants is this effect, only they have spoken, whether it is true or false, they can find useful information from it, and the most afraid is to keep their mouths shut, Yang Jing does not even have a basis for reasoning.
"Yuan Lao, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”
Yue Dongyi is located in a remote area, and there are very few people coming and going, and the news is closed, Yuan Weidao naturally has not heard of Yang Jing's name, but he saw that Yang Jing was humble and polite, so he was no longer restrained, and said with a dry cough.
"People who grew up in the beast pile may not have it, but the old man knows that there is a thing that lives like a beast, but has a humanoid appearance..."
"Is there such a thing?" Yang Jing couldn't help but be stunned, although there are many strange and absurd legends among the people, but Yuan Weidao is a scholar and a post man who leads the court, he is not absolutely sure, he should not be hearsay, not to mention that he still reports the situation to the chief in the process of investigating the case.
This case seemed to really arouse Zong Yun's great interest, and before Yuan Weidao could speak, Zong Yun had already said flatly: "Shan Xiao." ”
That stinky fart look like there's nothing in this world that he doesn't know!
"Mandrill?" Yang Jing also muttered in his heart, because he had also heard of mandrills, this thing is also called a ghost baboon, produced in Africa, with a violent temperament, great strength, and great aggression and danger.
If this is the kind of thing, it may really be able to cause blood, but this mandrill belongs to the ape, green skin, bright red between the ridges, all the way to the nose bone and around the mouth, and looks like a demon, so it is called a ghost baboon, and it should be easy to identify.
And according to Lu Yueniang's confession, that thing was wearing tattered clothes, if the baboon also knew how to wear clothes, then it would really be a sperm!
Yuan Weidao heard Zong Yun say these two words, his face suddenly turned red, his eyes lit up, and he arched his hand towards Zong Yun and said: "This Taoist master is really knowledgeable, and he admires it!"
Zong Yun waved his hand slightly as a return salute, and Yuan Weidao said to Yang Jing at this time: "This mandrill, also called Shanzhen, there are clouds in ancient books, and there are Gan giants in the south, with long human faces, long arms, black bodies and hair, back-heels, smiling when they see people, and their lips cover their faces, so they can escape, but our mandrills here are a little different from those contained in ancient books." ”
Yang Jing listened more and more surprised, this ghost baboon is a species on the African continent, why has our ancestors already recorded it?
At this time, I heard Yuan Weidao continue: "Our natives here also call it a dwarf mule, this thing is like an ugly half-sized child, it is said to be able to charm the mind, make people hallucinate, be controlled by it, like to wear clothes and hats, often come out to tease the living, and steal property, the most like glittering gold and silver jewelry, but the temperament is extremely unstable, and it is very cruel to go crazy..."
Yang Jing didn't expect such a magical creature to exist, but thinking about Tong Ergu, Yang Jing was not too surprised.
He glanced at Zong Yun, Zong Yun also nodded, indicating that what Yuan Weidao said was true, even so, Yang Jing still asked Yuan Weidao: "Yuan Lao's words are chiseled, haven't you seen such a strange thing with your own eyes?"
Yuan Weidao's eyes welled up with a trace of imperceptible sadness, and he nodded lightly and said: "Yes, the old man has indeed seen this monster, there are several mountain villages near the left, and the children in the village are often robbed by dwarf mules, I heard that dwarf mules like to eat human brains, the more human brains they eat, the smarter they are, and if they eat enough ninety-nine eighty-one, they can turn into people, and those poor children have already been eaten..."
"Why only eat children?" Yang Jing asked.
"Because children have little resistance, and their minds are not strong, they are easily seduced, and besides, mandrills never eat adult brains, and it is said that adult brains are too dirty, and they will be poisoned and fall into madness..."
After listening to Yuan Weidao's description, Song Fengya was also full of surprise, the reason why she likes to solve cases, in addition to wanting to inherit her father's business, is more because it is fun, she likes novel and exciting things, such as mandrills, which are highly anthropomorphic, naturally arouse Song Fengya's curiosity.
"Could it be that this mandrill is really committing a crime? But didn't Lao Yicheng say that mandrills don't like adults? Could it be because they wanted to steal Li Mu and Cao Sheng's belongings, and they killed these two people after they were discovered?"
Faced with Song Fengya's speculation, Yang Jing didn't know what to answer, just shook it gently, and then said, "I'm tired of Yuan Lao taking us to the scene to have a look." ”
Yuan Weidao nodded yes, then picked up the lantern, took Yang Jing and the others down the bamboo building, and walked to the left side of the door.
There was a separate wooden house, which was smaller, but clean, with no pens underneath, no need to smell the feces of livestock, and was not too noisy at night, and was usually used to entertain guests.
Because the Zhou family gave Li Mu and Cao Sheng a lot of benefits, the two of them were very wealthy, so they naturally took good care of Zhou Nanchu, and they were from Baling County, so Yuan Weidao arranged for them to live in a wooden house.
Yang Jing was going downstairs while thinking about the information of Shicai, and when he passed by the lower stilted building on the right, he heard a violent cough, and when he looked up, there was a figure projected on the window paper of the room on the second floor, which should be Yuan Shuxiang, the son of Yuan Weidao.
"Is Ling Lang in good health?" Yang Jing asked casually, and Yuan Weidao smiled bitterly and said, "Don't dare to hide it from adults, it's been a long time since the dog has been suffering from lung disease..."
"Has Yuan Lao ever invited a doctor?"
"This poor country is all barefoot in the past, and it's useless to see it, the old man just collected some folk remedies for him to take..."
Yang Jing saw that Yuan Weidao's face was not very good-looking, and he no longer mentioned the matter, so he quickened his pace and came to the wooden house where the crime occurred.
Just walked to the door, Yang Jing picked up the lantern and looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised!
