Chapter 23: Anecdotes of Gu People

The body was mutilated, as if it had been eaten by wild dogs, but the internal organs and intestines were still there. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The internal organs have been severely atrophied, and the deceased was obviously a strong man before his death, but his face is full of wrinkles at the moment, and he looks like an old man of seventy or eighty years old.

Sixteen: "Every drop of blood of the dead is sucked dry, but zombies will not suck their blood so cleanly, and often leave tooth marks on the side of their necks." ”

The deputy pointed the side of the neck away, "Aren't you talking nonsense? "There were indeed two deep tooth holes in his fingers, dark blue. Sixteen: "Can you open your mouth?"

The deputy stared at Xiaohua'er suspiciously, and Xiaohua said, "You can just open it and try it, and there will be no shortage of meat." ”

The deputy opened his mouth reluctantly, and Sixteen said, "Everyone, please see, each of the grinding teeth on his cheeks is about half an inch, but there are obvious differences, whether it is shape or size, there are always subtle differences. Sixteen glanced at the ghost knife and found that her brows were tightly knit, and she probably didn't have the patience to listen anymore, so she said, "How can zombies grow a pair of perfectly symmetrical teeth?"

The county magistrate of Xiaohua pointed the tooth hole with his hand, and it was really accurate.

The deputy was not convinced, he said: "People are people, demons are demons, some of them are evil and crooked, and it is not impossible to grow into perfectly symmetrical teeth." ”

The county magistrate said, "Well, what he said also makes sense. ”

Sixteen removed one of the arrows from the back of his deputy's back, and said, "So what?" he removed the feathers from the body of the arrow, and then inserted the arrow into one of the tooth holes, marking it at skin level. "Wow, it's so deep!" the onlookers couldn't help but exclaim, this tooth hole was 3 inches long, and it was almost pierced through the neck. Sixteen did not stop, and he plunged the marked arrow into another tooth hole, only to see that the place that had been marked before was flush again.

The ghost knife and the county magistrate Xiaohua both frowned.

Only the deputy was puzzled, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

Sixteen: "If I were a zombie, I would have bitten the inside of this person's neck diagonally." ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense?"

"Then even if the teeth are perfectly symmetrical, because of the deviation of the angle, the cavity caused by the long teeth is at least 1-2 inches off, but this corpse does not. ”

"That's right!" the deputy slammed the table, and it dawned on him. He no longer has any prejudices against Sixteen, and arched his hand: "I was a reckless hunter, and I thought that the little master had no ability, so I always put on a stinky face, please forgive me." ”

Sixteen said: "I really don't have much ability, and there are many things I want to ask the donor about hunting." ”

The county magistrate coughed violently, "Ahem, ahem!" It took him a while to recover, and he said, "It's a good thing that young people are eager to learn, but there are more important things that have not been solved at the moment." If it's not zombies that harm people, then what kind of ghosts are they?"

"It's people. ”

Everyone exclaimed, only the ghost knife was still very calm, she did not say anything from beginning to end, and listened carefully to Sixteen's explanation.

"There are two perpetrators, the first is Gu Ren. ”

"Oh, Gu Man?" Xiao Hua repeated, although he had never seen any strange things in the year of the sixtieth year, but when he heard the word Gu Ren, the wrinkles on his face were about to explode.

Sixteen said: "The refining method of the Gu people is the secret transmission of Miao Jiang, because it is cruel and tyrannical, even the Miao people can't look at it, so the inheritors of the Gu refining technique are also discriminated against by their own clan, and live a life of isolation in the Xiangxi area. ”

Xiaohua said: "In this way, you don't know the details. ”

Sixteen Dao: "Yes, but you can get a glimpse of it from Gu refining, putting hundreds or thousands of poisons into the altar to make them kill each other, and in the end only one poison survives, it is a Gu worm, a hundred poisonous insects, dead but not stiff; Moreover, the perpetrator is a newly conceived Gu person, who only sucks the blood of the first person, and then harms people according to their physical characteristics. ”

The ghost knife finally said her first words: "What are physical characteristics?"

Sixteen Dao: "The Gu Man is an incomplete person, and he suffers from the various characteristics produced during refining. Some Gu people feel that there are loaches swimming in their bodies, so they will dissect the victim's corpse when they kill, and some Gu people will pinch the victim's eyes when they feel that their eyes are sore........ It's their subconscious as a human being. ”

After hearing this, the county magistrate of Xiaohua suddenly collapsed to the ground, and his deputy helped him up and ordered: "Lift all the corpses open!"

The remaining twenty-two corpses were all skinned, revealing bloody scabs and tendons.

They were skinned alive and painful, and there was nothing intact on their bodies, from the scalp to the soles of their feet, and the corpses still maintained a bright red color. Some of the helpers saw the corpse for the first time, and their stomachs were churning, and they rushed to the door to vomit.

Sixteen hands clasped together, "Good, good." ”

The ghost knife said: "They were skinned, which means that the skin of the Gu people is different from ordinary people. Maybe it's itching, or maybe it's peeled off......."

Sixteen said to the county magistrate of Xiaohua: "Gu people are more dangerous than zombies, and they must be fully understood." ”

Xiaohua coughed twice, "Then what does the master suggest?"

Sixteen said, "It's time to scatter your wealth." ”

"Huh?"

"There should also be three or two Miao people in Xiaonan County, the county magistrate only needs to beat the gong and drum and ask who can solve the mystery of the Gu people, reward a thousand taels of silver, and someone will come to solve the puzzle. ”

The county magistrate said: "Now I have to do this, master, you have real skills, plus the powerful house of the Rakshasas, I will fully support you, I hope to arrest the murderer as soon as possible." ”

"Then thank you to the county magistrate. ”

"Let's go. Xiaohua left with a group of people, and the deputy still lingered here, and said, "What are you doing here?"

The deputy said: "I see if the master still has a place to use me, right, the master's surname?"

"My name is sixteen. ”

"Is it a legal name?"

"It's the name. ”

"Oh, sixteen, sixteen, it's very pleasant to scream, I see that you are so young, how about when I marry my brother? ”

Sixteen embarrassed "this ........"

"The sister is eighteen years old, although she is not a peerless beauty, but she is also knowledgeable, three from four virtues, if you can ........ with the master"

The ghost knife roared!

- "You talk to the monks about women, why don't you let the prostitutes read the Buddhist scriptures?"

"Hehe, I forgot that the master is a monk, seeing that the master is handsome, if the sister sees it, she must not think about tea and dinner, and then cry and make trouble and hang herself!"

- "Then let her stay at home! Aren't you afraid of being eaten by Gu people?"

The deputy stuck out his tongue, "I think you're even more terrifying than a Gu man." ”

"Hmph. She snorted coldly and said, "When I'm really useful, what's your name?"

The deputy said: "Under the cannon strong." ”

"Well, the cannon is strong, when did the county magistrate's coughing start?"

Cannon Qiang said: "About two years ago." Oh, there was also a strange thing happening at that time, three men and three women were missing, and the search was fruitless, so it was hurriedly closed. ”

Sixteen: "Three men and three women, are there any similarities between them?"

The cannon forcibly wiped the arrows clean, and he said as he wiped them, "There is nothing noteworthy, either they are all quite young, the oldest is thirty-two years old, and the youngest is only fourteen years old." ”

There's really nothing special about it.

The cannon smacked his mouth, "Any other orders?"

Sixteen: "No." ”

"Well, then I will gather the brethren and tell them to sharpen their arrows and take turns guarding near the market. ”

"Could it be that the bodies were found near the market?"

"Most of them are yes, and there are two bodies that floated into the river in front of the county, and they were fished by a fisherman two days ago. ”

There were only two living people left in the mortuary, a pile of corpses. The corpses of the sixteen gangs were covered with sackcloth.

Ghost Knife was silent, and from the beginning of the conversation, she seemed to be a transparent person. She watched Sixteen put a lid on the corpse, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.

"People are dead, so why bother?"

"Well, although they died so miserably that they can hardly see their human appearance, they also need to be kind to the corpses and accumulate some yin virtue. ”

"I hope I don't accumulate virtue for you. I felt very wrong this time, I felt that Ouyang Xiaohua had known about Gu people for a long time. ”

"Then why did he hide it, and he was the one who hired you to catch the murderer. ”

"I don't know, but he must be hiding a secret behind him. "There was a twinkle in the ghost knife's eyes. Her eyes are so beautiful, but the occasional killing intent is prohibitive. She really doesn't like to read, but she has a beastly instinct that many old rivers and lakes can't compare.

Fair.

"Bell, bell, bell, all here, the county lord has a bounty!" the young man beat the gong and drum, and immediately attracted everyone's attention, and thousands of people surrounded him. The young man said: "This trip is a Miao person, who knows about Gu people, as long as they go to the county lord's mansion to explain in detail, they can take away a thousand taels of silver." ”

"Wow!" everyone was stunned by the amount, "I heard you right, that's a thousand taels!" "I won't make anything in ten years." More people gathered around, and the guy shouted again: "This time it's the Miao people, who can explain the Gu people, and they can take away a thousand taels of silver." ”

Now more people appeared, and the market was full of unprecedented noise, and after a while, several Miao men burst out, and there was a very iconic woman.

At this time, the ghost knife and the cannon were sitting in front of the street, and they could see that the ghost knife was waiting for the Miao doctor.

Cannon Qiang was a little skeptical and said, "What do you think she can know about such a small baby?"

The ghost knife said: "That little girl has good medical skills, not only has the most orthodox medical methods of the Miao people, but there are also many crooked ways in the store." "She was optimistic about it then. "Look, she's coming. ”

The doctor was white and tender, but very short, and the crowd blocked her, so she jumped and jumped to see what everyone was around, and found that it was just a young man beating gongs and drums, and the young man repeated it again, and the Miao doctor hesitated. She lingered in front of the crowd, walking here and there, like an ant on a hot pot.

Cannon Qiang said, "Will she agree?"

Ghost Knife sneered, "She'll definitely do it, because she's very short of money." After a while, she squeezed into the crowd.
