Chapter 368: Dead Man
In the firewood room, the sound of Suo Suo continued to sound.
The second baby squatted down, constantly pulling with charcoal strokes on the ground, and it didn't take long for a simple topographic map to appear in front of Chen Jiu and the others.
"A few benefactors, please take a look." The second baby said.
Chen Jiu and the others bowed down and began to look at the topographic map drawn by Erwazi.
This simple topographic map was very rudimentary, and if he hadn't known in advance that it was a topographic map, he would have wondered if it was a child's graffiti.
However, although it is difficult to distinguish this topographic map, there is basically everything that should be there.
It can be seen that the second baby painted with his heart, and he really knows the surrounding terrain by heart.
For example, where there is a mountain, the second child can't write, so he drew the shape of a small mountain on the map, and where there is a river, he drew a curve.
The city uses a slightly larger block with some villains drawn inside.
At this time, they are in the center of the map, surrounded by mountains and a river, and not far away is a city.
"It doesn't look like this city is too far from here." Chen Jiu looked at the topographic map and said secretly in his heart.
Before, he couldn't make sure that the city gods of Qingzhou City were in this city, but now after listening to the words of the second child, he has basically determined in his heart that those city gods in Qingzhou are in this city at this moment.
Injured during the arrest, it was absolutely impossible for them to leave Qingzhou City before they healed.
First, they need to guard against sloppy Taoists and others who may come to save people at any time, and secondly, when they are injured, the road is more difficult.
"But how to lure these people out of the city also needs to be considered in the long run."
As soon as the black-faced strong man on the side heard that the city was not far from here, he immediately had the urge to rush to the city to save people, but he was glared back by the green-robed scholar and others.
"Kumako, your reckless nature really wants to kill us." The demon woman ruthlessly damaged the way.
"Hehe, isn't that watching a play?" Kumako smiled innocently.
"First of all, whether you can beat the city god of Qingzhou City with your brute strength, even if you have beaten one, what about the other city gods? And the guards of the city? Do you want to be a hero alone? The green-robed scholar squinted and said.
"I have some ideas." Chen Jiu said suddenly. "Actually, we have an advantage, I wonder if a few of you have found out?"
The scholar in the green robe thought for a moment, and then his eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Are you saying that the city gods of Qingzhou City don't know you, so you can swagger into the city and find out the location and movements of these city gods?" ”
Chen Jiu nodded with a faint smile.
That's right, among their group, the biggest advantage lies in him, whether it is the city god of Qingzhou, or the guards guarding the city, or a few friends of the sloppy Taoist, they have never seen Chen Jiu.
That is to say, he can completely use the defender token of Guobei County in his hand to swagger into the city, and it will not arouse anyone's suspicion.
As long as he can move freely in the city, in this way, the initiative of their group will be greatly increased.
Even as long as the plan is thorough, it is completely possible to rescue the three people who were captured by the city god of Qingzhou City without any damage.
Without hesitation, Chen Jiu continued to say his next plan: "We can divide the army into two ways, one is that I am alone in the city to find out the news, and on the other side is the five of you, you are responsible for monitoring the people who have been in and out of the city in the recent days. ”
"When the time is right, I'll make a quiet trip out of the city, and then I'll talk to you about the next steps."
However, it was not so much the plan of the two sides, but Chen Jiu's own solo action, and the appearance of the sloppy Taoist and the others was estimated to have already been known to the defenders in the city and the city god of Qingzhou City.
Therefore, in this step, they should not come forward, and can only help in secret.
But fortunately, these people can also trust themselves.
Otherwise, this step will not work.
"In this way, it is a good way, but in this way, you will have to work hard Brother Chen." The sloppy Taoist patted Chen Jiu's shoulder and said.
Chen Jiu waved his hand and said, "Where is Brother Dao, if the world can be peaceful because of this, what if I risk my life?" ”
Then the few people discussed the details for a while, and then they were ready to rest.
"I'll keep a vigil for you tonight." Xiong Heizi volunteered to defend himself, who knows if there will be any Qingzhou City Chenghuang waiting for him to rest when he is resting to wipe himself out.
Everyone nodded, and then lay down, these days have been resting in the carriage, indeed a little tired, several people invariably fell asleep.
Nothing was said all night.
……
Early the next morning, Chen Jiu and the others were woken up by a noisy sound, followed by human voices, shouts, and chaos.
Chen Jiu was about to get up, but he was pushed in by the panicked second child, and at this time he was like a fly with six gods and no owner.
"A few benefactors, something happened in the village."
"Something's wrong?" Chen Jiu frowned, glanced at Xiong Heizi with a blank face, and then continued to ask, "What's wrong?" ”
The second baby breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly said what happened this morning.
It turned out that early this morning, a family was found quietly dead in the house by the villagers, and when the people entered, the family of five had died in the house together, and the body was already cold.
"I stayed in the house last night, and I really didn't notice anything out of the ordinary." Kumako explained innocently.
"No, we didn't let you pay attention to the movements in the village." Chen Jiu shook his head and said.
He knew that although Kuroko Kuroko in front of him had a keen sense of smell, it didn't mean that he could spot ghosts from such a distance, and it was still snowing outside, so he couldn't blame him.
"Do you know the cause of death of these people?" Chen Jiu asked.
"I don't know, but I heard from the people in the village that he died violently, and the people outside are rumored to have offended the mountain god." The second baby said, but then he added, "Benefactor, do you think it is possible that this family also died at the hands of that female ghost?" ”
"It's a possibility." Chen Jiu nodded and said, "But the specific situation still needs to take a look at the corpses of these people before it can be determined." ”
After saying that, Chen Jiu prepared to go out and go to check the bodies of those people.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the second baby, "Benefactor, don't go." ”
