At the second watch, Xin Chaihu, who was hiding in the shack, finally couldn't resist the strong tiredness, and gradually fell asleep in a daze...... At this moment, if those two birds of prey suddenly killed at this moment, they should also seem to - can they really succeed?

However, Xin Chasing Tiger is still Xin Chasing Tiger after all, and his nickname of "Northern Tiger" is really not in vain! After many years of rich experience in walking the rivers and lakes, Lao Xin has long practiced an extraordinary skill - even if people are asleep at night, their ears are still "on duty" intermittently.

At this moment, he snored softly, but his ears stood up like rabbits. About half after the second watch and before the third watch, a voice that seemed to be someone talking sounded in Xin Chaihu's ears, and suddenly a strong sense of vigilance immediately drove him to forcibly cheer up!

Xin Chaihu got up gently, and after taking a breath of fresh air to refresh his head, he began to listen attentively...... This trick of his has a famous name, called "listening to the ears". Now I really heard a clear understanding: sure enough, someone was really talking.

At the time of the third watch in the middle of the night, in such a deep mountain and dense forest, who will come? Xin Chaihu didn't feel curiosity.

Looking out through the tattered that covered the shack, Xin Chaihu immediately noticed that someone not far away was carrying a pair of lanterns and walking slowly along the birdsong stream. The two men talked as they walked, and for a moment in the darkness they couldn't see what they really were.

Such a swaggering and unhurried appearance, nine times out of ten, it is the tolerance of the yamen who is routinely inspecting. Xin Chaihu estimated: This must be related to the two bloody cases that occurred in this area in the previous two times - and the search operation launched overnight shows that there has been key progress in solving the case.

"Old Seven, you have a good sense of smell, hurry up and sniff hard—is there any smell of blood around here?" A rooster-like shrill voice spoke.

"Yes! I'll also tell you: this place is full of dead people! A low, rough voice roared unhappily, deliberately trying to scare his partner.

"Hey, stupid fat man, what do you want to call me?" As soon as the "rooster" became excited, his voice became even sharper and thinner, and the tone suddenly soared.

"What do you mean...... Phew? The fat man deliberately picked up the tone of his speech, and said pretentiously: "Well, let me ask you—have you ever seen a dead man?" ”

"What are you kidding? I can tell you, as early as when your brother and my grandfather were alive, I saw a man die in front of him on the spot! ”

"You're talking about—your grandfather? Why don't you kid just say it - that's what your grandfather's grandfather saw? Thinking that he had caught the other party's loophole, the fat man couldn't help but smile proudly.

"That's why I said, you're just a stupid fat man." "Rooster" is not annoyed or anxious now, he continued slowly and leisurely: "The thing I said is true, it was more than ten years ago, when I followed my grandfather to sell tofu at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain......

What? More than a decade ago? At the foot of Mount Qingcheng? - The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional, Xin Chaihu, who was hiding in the shack, couldn't help but feel terrified when he heard this old thing! At this moment, like a cloud of black smoke hovering in Xin Chaihu's mind for a long time, there is only one terrifying name for the night cry of children in Shu - Lingyike!

So, is the person outside who is talking with a rooster-like voice actually the grandson of "Rooster Xiao" who opened a tofu shop at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain? Xin Chaihu quietly looked through the dim light of the lantern - hey, my good boy, isn't this another "Rooster Xiao" who is alive?

Xin Chaihu's vision was accurate, and the person who passed by him tonight was none other than Xiao Shan, the grandson of Xiao Wuwei, a capable general of Zixiawei of the Eastern Hu Kingdom before. Xiao Wuwei, who had done all the bad things before, was later "degraded" by a generation of heroes Murong Xiuli to open a tofu shop at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain in the suburbs of Xingqing City at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain.

However, Xiao Wuwei, who did not change his bad nature, later hooked up with the "Qingrong Gate" that was flourishing in Qingcheng Mountain, and did some unsightly deeds. And the "dead man incident" that Xiao Shan boasted about tonight was that Xiao Wu did not deliberately provoke the Liaodong bandit leader He to pull out the logs, and suddenly made a move - killed a disciple of the "Qingling Gate" who came to investigate!

As for the aftermath, Xiao Wu didn't justify himself in front of the clothed guest, which is still a little-known secret until now. These things were overheard on the roof of Xin Chaihu nine years ago when he went to Liaodong to chase and kill He Ba Yuanmu.

What puzzled Xin Chaihu tonight was: Why did Xiao Wuwei's grandson come to Mangcang Mountain? And judging from his speech and demeanor, this Xiao Shan seems to be a public man in the yamen.

Indeed, Xiao Shan, who had a rooster voice, was ordered by Song Tuiguan tonight to work with his partner He Fatzi to find the whereabouts of the series. Regardless of whether their passing by was intentional or unintentional, Xin Chaihu felt that this place was not suitable for a long time, so after watching them walk away, he hurriedly escaped from the old shack and stayed at the home of a mountain dweller nearby.

After the fourth watch, Xin Chaihu quietly climbed out of the back window, identified the direction, took a shortcut and went to the incense burner peak. He didn't bother anyone, he found the guest room where he was staying, and slept under the covers.

It is also in time for Xiaoshan to be in the limelight, in the middle of the night, he and He Fatzi followed the birdsong stream, until they found a place called "Evil Fish Pond", and they really found the traces of the missing sentinel chief! Instead, what they found was a dead corpse—a corpse that "should" be a genre, to be exact.

When the body was found, the water where it was floating was the same place called "Evil Fish Pool". In the Evil Fish Pond, there are thousands of extremely ferocious piranhas all year round, and once people or livestock fall down, there is absolutely no chance of survival.

It is precisely because of this that the floating corpse they found in Xiaoshan can only be roughly identified-because its facial features are completely blurred with flesh and blood, which is really miserable! Even Song Che, who rushed over after hearing the news, and those experienced servants, had no way to confirm whether it was the corpse of the seed series.

A large group of people had been working all night, and finally they had a catch: they found an unrecognizable corpse. Song Che decided to summon the lady who came to the seed and asked her to carefully identify the corpse.

"Perhaps, is that really the corpse of a sentry commander? However...... How could he have been involved in that mysterious case? Song Che was still skeptical.
