Chapter 7: A Blood Cloud
After Li Afu was arrested and put in prison, he first came up and interrogated him, looked suspicious, and then greeted him with a punishment, and soon he was recruited with everything.
He stole the child, and now he is still hiding it in the cellar and has not been able to sell it, and he also reveals an important news.
There is a group outside Guobei that sells children, but they only want girls.
After asking about the news, Zhu Xiao, who was eight feet tall, immediately led people to Li Afu's house and found the cellar according to Li Afu's explanation.
When I opened the cover outside, there was a girl of six or seven years old in the cellar, who was tied with rope, with rags in her mouth, and her face was full of horror and pity.
They sent the child home, and the family held the child and was grateful.
By the way, he gave a little "thank you money", and Zhu Xiao smiled and took it into his pocket.
"This guy is so shameless!" Seeing this, Housuke said angrily.
Wang Zhe smiled, although this guy is very annoying, but it is not a good thing for him to be in the limelight so much.
After returning to the yamen, they reported that there were people outside the city who were selling children, and the county governor personally led the people out of the city to the dilapidated mountain temple.
It turned out to be empty, not to mention people, not even a bird, nothing was caught.
returned to the city and got twenty taels of silver, Wang Zhe naturally wanted to invite the old marquis to eat and drink.
I ordered a few appetizers, asked for two hard dishes, a pot of mutton, roasted goose all the time, and beat the tooth sacrifice.
"You're not young at this age, you have to find someone to start a family, which girl do you like, I'll help you propose." After drinking two bowls of wine, Hou Zhu cared about Wang Zhe's life events.
"What's the hurry?" Wang Zhe said with a smile, he is not yet twenty years old.
Now it's good to be alone like this, and you have nothing to worry about, not to mention that you have the strange book "Yin and Yang Impermanence" on your body, which is a big secret and can't be let others know.
"Don't worry, when I was your age, my father had already begun to discuss my marriage, and then I met ......"
Speaking of the past, Hou Suke's face suddenly showed a little bitterness, and he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.
When he left the liquor store, Hou Zhu was already drunk and staggered when he walked, and Wang Zhe sent him back home.
The next day, I started a familiar life of catching fast, ordering, patrolling the streets, listening to colleagues bragging, gossiping, and going to the wine shop to eat and drink.
During this period, Wang Zhe knocked on the side to inquire about the news of Master Huang, only to hear that he invited two more masters, and no one knows how high they are.
So he decided to wait.
The peaceful life was interrupted within a few days.
It was a sunny day, and in the morning, a person panicked into the county government to report to the official, saying that there was an accident in their village, and many people died.
The county lieutenant personally led people to investigate the case, because the accident was his hometown.
Before entering the mountain village, Wang Zhe asked a faint smell of blood from the blowing wind.
His eyes were slightly closed, and he used the "Hope Qi Technique" to look at the sky above the mountain village, and saw a bloody color, like a blood cloud shrouded in the village.
Entering the village, they came to a house where the accident had occurred.
The county lieutenant came out soon after entering, his face was very ugly, his body was trembling slightly, and he didn't know if he was angry.
Two of the catchers who went in came out quickly, their faces turned white, and they held on to the wall and vomited.
"What's going on, is it so serious?"
After Wang Zhe entered, he was also stunned for a moment, only to see that the bed, walls, table, and the room were full of blood, muscles, bones, and viscera, as if it was a slaughtering site.
What's even more terrifying is that most of the flesh and blood of these corpses have disappeared, and judging by the situation at the scene, it seems that something has eaten them.
There were blood-colored footprints on the ground, obviously larger than the soles of ordinary people's feet.
I looked at three families in succession, and they were all like this.
What Wang Zhe feared when he left last time became a reality.
This village encountered something very terrifying, and Wang Zhe immediately thought of the black gas he saw in the back mountain.
"Could it be that thing?"
Seeing such a thing happen in his hometown, the county lieutenant's face was very ugly.
He is also a knowledgeable person, and he can guess when he looks at the scene that there is a chance that some monster has entered the mountain village.
Overnight, all four families were killed, and the whole village was very panicked, fearing that the next one would be themselves, and even some people had already left the mountain village, but their relatives took refuge in their homes.
The clues left at the scene are also obvious, and the bloody footprints lead to the mountains, but no one dares to chase them.
Wang Zhe used the "Qi Lookout Technique" in the mountain village to look towards the mountain, and could see a black gas floating out of the mountain forest, like a smoke from the cooking, which was much stronger than the last time he saw it.
The county lieutenant talked for a long time with the elders of the village alone, and after disposing of the corpses of the four families, he left with a group of hunters, walking quickly, in a hurry, and impatiently.
They are also afraid of death!
"Ah Zhe, what did you say those people were killed?"
"Youkai in the mountains."
"I know, what kind of monster?"
"Then how do I know, mandrills, demons, zombies."
In his room in the mountain village just now, he smelled a faint fishy smell, like the rotting smell of rotting meat that had been left for many days.
He had tasted something similar when he was searching for the body of his missing county lieutenant's father in the mountains that day.
After returning to the county office, the county lieutenant immediately went to the county magistrate to discuss the matter, in the end, it was his hometown, his father and fellow villagers, and he couldn't leave it alone.
If Guo Beixian can't solve it, he plans to go to Jinhua City for help.
Unfortunately, Huang Shen happened to be there, and after hearing about it, he said that there were two masters in the family, and maybe they would have a way.
The county lieutenant was overjoyed when he heard this. The next day, early in the morning, the county lieutenant went to the village with a group of arresters.
The difference is that this time there are two people with them, and these two people are riding horses and looking in their thirties.
One is tall, with a beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a heavy sword behind his back, and the other is of medium stature, with a white face and a few wisps of beard.
"Ah Zhe, who are these two?" Lao Hou asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Wang Zhe shook his head and motioned for him to speak less.
When he secretly looked at these two people with the "Qi Hope Technique", he saw a different qi from Zhong in them.
The qi of the tall man is thick and condensed, and the qi of ordinary people is like a wisp of white smoke, like a line, and his qi is like a pillar of smoke, and many threads are twisted into a hemp rope.
The other person's qi is also much thicker and more condensed than ordinary people, and it is also mixed with a trace of cyan.
At the same time, there is blood on the bodies of these two people, not the kind of blood between the eyebrows on the face, but on the body, this is a sign of murder, the thicker the blood, the heavier the killing.
These two people killed a lot of people, and Wang Zhe also guessed that the two of them should be the masters invited by Huang Shen.
"They probably killed those two families."
