Chapter 116: The village chief supports it
Ji Chen and the three of them saw that they couldn't make sense, and they didn't want to use force, so they followed everyone and went to the village chief's house together.
The village chief looked at the villagers with a menacing appearance, and then looked at the three Ji Chen who were escorted, and looked at everyone peacefully.
"You guys, what are you doing?"
A villager came out and said, "The three outsiders just now secretly ran to the weaving mill to steal something, and we caught them." ”
"Stealing? What did they steal? The village chief asked.
At this time, the man could not answer, and the village chief looked at the others, but none of them could answer.
At this time, another person came out.
"In the middle of the night, I ran to the weaving workshop where all women lived, either stealing or plotting against them."
The village chief asked again, "So, what bad things have they done?" ”
At this time, the woman who first spotted them walked out.
"They must have come to our weaving workshop in the middle of the night to do bad things."
"Yes, if you go to the weaving workshop in the middle of the night, you will definitely do something bad. Lock them up. Someone coaxed.
"yes, lock them up."
"Locked up!"
At this time, the village chief turned his head and looked at Ji Chen and the others.
"What did you do in that weaving mill?"
"It's definitely going to do something bad, trying to steal." A villager rushed to answer.
"Hmm!" The village chief looked at the man as if he was angry, and suddenly everyone stopped talking.
Ji Chen looked at the village chief, and just wanted to tell everything about tonight.
At this time, someone ran over from behind.
"Oh no, no, Uncle Nong's chickens have died a lot, like they were bitten to death by monsters."
The village chief immediately spoke, and went to Uncle Nong's house first.
Then let the villagers bring Ji Chen and the three of them over.
Ji Chen thought that when he got there, it would be better to explain, so he didn't struggle and followed.
When I arrived at Uncle Nong's backyard, there were chicken feathers everywhere and a few tragically dead sand pheasants, which reminded people of the scene of the camel at Aunt Qi's house yesterday.
At this time, someone picked up a broken step from the ground and walked up to the village chief.
"Village chief, you see, there is a rag here, it must have been dropped by the person who ate the chicken."
The village chief took the piece of cloth, looked at it carefully for a while, and then handed it to Sister Hu, the steward of the weaving workshop.
Sister Hu saw that this was the fabric they made, which showed that the person who committed the crime was a person from the village.
At this time, a sharp-eyed person saw that Ji Chen's clothes were just missing a piece, and looking at the shape, it was also a bit similar to the rag.
"Look, the outsider's clothes are also rotten."
Only then did everyone focus their eyes on Ji Chen, and the housekeeper, Sister Hu, also took a rag and compared it to Ji Chen.
"Sure enough, it was you, you who killed these sandgrouses." Sister Hu said loudly.
At this time, the villagers were talking louder, and they all pointed at Ji Chen.
"It must be them, the daddle camel of Aunt Qi yesterday must have been killed by them."
"Yes, it's definitely them."
"As I said a long time ago, these outsiders are definitely not good people. As soon as they came, so many strange things happened in our village, and they must have done it. ”
"Yes, they must have done it. Nothing like this had ever happened before, and they had it as soon as they came. ”
The villagers talked a lot, and they picked up the hoe and stick, and greeted the three of them.
In the end, it was the village chief who calmed everyone down, and turned his head to ask Ji Chen and the others what happened.
So Ji Chen explained the discovery of the three of them at night, and the appearance of the monster's head, and the situation that the three of them tracked down at night.
Most of the villagers were silent at this point, but a few villagers were still shouting that they were going to bury the three of them in the sand and suffocate them.
At this time, the village chief asked, "Do you know where that monster is in the weaving mill?" ”
Ji Chen and the three of them looked at each other, and then shook their heads at the village chief.
The village chief also looked at a few people helplessly this time.
"You have to give me something, so I can explain it to them."
At this time, Guan Zhilan patted herself on the head, and then tore a few hairs from her leather whip.
"This was cut off from that monster's head, see if that helps?"
Sister Hu from the Hu Weaving Workshop walked up, picked up her hair, and sniffed it.
The fragrance of this hair is indeed from our weaving mill.
"It's just that all of our girls have this scent because we all wash our hair with a plant."
Then, Sister Hu asked someone to bring a small jar from the weaving mill, and the jar contained a black, sticky thing.
Sister Hu explained that the contents of this jar were ground by them from bicorn, which was used to wash hair, which was clean, fragrant, and could be kept for a long time.
The village chief and the others smelled it, and it was indeed the same as the smell in the hair.
This time, everyone stopped pointing fingers as they did just now.
The village chief and Sister Hu began to believe what Ji Chen and the others said.
But in this way, the people in the weaving mill are very suspicious.
This shows that in the weaving mill, there is a monster.
"What can we do about this, our weaving workshop can't be opened yet." Sister Hu said aggrievedly.
For a while, the village chief didn't know what to do.
Everyone can only go back first, but village guards must be arranged around the weaving mill, and all the weaver girls must stay in the room and are not allowed to move around at will.
Then the village chief beckoned Sister Hu and Ji Chen to enter the village chief's house together to discuss the next move.
Sister Hu also brought one person, that is, the girl she saw when Jichen just woke up that day, Yueyi.
"Huli, among you weaver girls, who do you think is the most suspicious and most likely to be that monster?" The village chief looked at Sister Hu and asked.
Sister Hu was silent, thinking carefully.
Ji Chen didn't bother, just watched her quietly.
After a while, Sister Hu raised her head, glanced at Yueyi, and then looked at the village chief and Ji Chen.
"Like, I didn't notice anything unusual about them. They have been in our weaving mill for a long time, and they have never been anything special. Are you really sure that monster is our weaver? ”
Wu Hui replied: "We followed the farmer's house all the way to your weaving workshop, and then the monster disappeared." So, this monster should be right there for you. ”
Sister Hu thought hard again, but in the end she couldn't come up with a result.
So Ji Chen proposed: "Since we don't know who that monster is, but we know that it is good at sucking blood, why don't we set a trap to catch her?" ”
"Okay, let's do it. I'm looking for someone to cooperate with you, and you must catch the monster as soon as possible. The village chief said.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, catch it as soon as possible, catch it as soon as possible." Sister Hu lowered her head, as if thoughtful.
