Chapter 9: The Scapegoat
Sure enough, early the next morning, he heard the news that the thieves had entered the sect and coaxed Elder Lu, and almost all over the mountains and fields were looking for clues about Xu Lin, who went to the flower garden at night, making the sect whisper, and the disciples were also cautious, afraid of getting into trouble, and only hoped to find the thief as soon as possible, but they didn't know what they had lost, after all, it was really undignified to say that someone was inside.
Su Mo sat in the bun shop and listened to the people next to him chatting there and listened to it, that old thing is really damned, so you can't live and run to the flower garden to walk and meet me Su someone is also destined for you to have this catastrophe in your life.
Hurry up and finish the food in his mouth, Su Mo also hurried to get busy with business, everything still needs to be prepared in a good place, and when the time comes, how to escape and how to act when Su Mo gets out of danger smoothly is the most important.
I don't want to finally escape the fate of dying miserably on the street, and when that time comes, Su Mo wants to cry without tears.
First of all, I spent a lot of money to buy an overview map around the sect, and this thing sells a lot, basically to introduce the situation of the sect so that people can get familiar with the surroundings.
Then I went to the store and bought a small kitchen knife, a few steamed buns and a little sugar, and then there were things similar to the Botanical Encyclopedia in the bookstore, and there was the Monster Encyclopedia, Su Mo didn't expect this kind of pastime science popularization to be used at this time.
When he bought all the things, Su Mo also hurried back to his home, and when he returned to the house, he also spread out the things and confirmed them again, because going out could not make them feel that Su Mo had the slightest idea of defecting, otherwise the consequences would be extremely serious.
Therefore, Su Mo must not bring too many things, but the basic ones need to be guaranteed, so he prepared a knife, and even if it is hidden on his body, it is not easy to be discovered, and if it is found, it can be said that it is used for self-defense, for people like Su Mo who have no force, they will probably be very unimpressed, so it is also convenient for Su Mo to hide the explosives, extract the explosives, and wrap them with cloth into the handle of the knife, so that it is difficult for outsiders to see it.
And then there is dry food, presumably when the time comes, the chase will be very powerful, maybe sometimes lying on the nest for a few days do not dare to move, not necessarily, so it is still necessary to prepare some, crush the sugar, and then sandwich the steamed buns, and then flatten the steamed buns, when the time is not revealed, it is best to bring as much as you can, and the water, because of the surrounding forests, you don't need it.
After that, there is the map and the illustrated book, and when the time comes, Su Mo will probably still flee to the mountain, and what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten needs to be effectively distinguished, and in the past two days, he has tried to memorize some plants that can be used as much as possible.
And the map is very vague because it is only used for a general preview, but in this place where there is no compass, it can let Su Mo know where he is to the maximum.
At least Su Mo can have a little discernment, and this is all that can be done at present, Su Mo couldn't help clenching his fists, and now there is no way out.
"Woohoo".
A few clear dog barks in his ears, Su Mo's whole person trembled violently, a very bad feeling arose, cold sweat slipped from the top of Su Mo's head unconsciously, and as the dog barked around, Su Mo's heart also trembled.
If you guessed correctly, most of the things like dogs are used to find objects by breath, and if so, Su Mo is afraid that he will not be far from being exposed.
Hurriedly hid the things in the house, and Su Mo's mind was also quickly flipped.
"I have no clue, there is no way".
If it is discovered, Su Mo's ending is estimated to be only one death, because that elder must be able to hear Su Mo's voice.
But Su Mo, who thought that he was going to die, only listened to the barking of the dog and slowly walked away, although his hanging heart was a little calm, he was also a little curious, and when he pushed the door out, he saw bursts of smoke floating from the next room.
Su Mo also suddenly realized in an instant, but he didn't expect that it was the next-door neighbor who happened to burn something to save him, and the dog was obviously slightly affected.
Su Mo can naturally guess where he went after that, because after taking the flint, Su Mo threw his clothes into the stove in the kitchen and burned them, and it is estimated that the dog also found there.
Seeing that he had escaped the catastrophe, Su Mo also had palpitations, and sat tremblingly on the stool for a long time.
It's just that before Su Mo could slow down, wave after wave of accidents also came.
"There are miscellaneous servants pretending to be disciples of the sect to break into the forbidden place at night."
Although Su Mo escaped, it was obvious that the situation was developing in a more serious direction, and various speculations were endless, but no one seemed to know that it would be because of the flames in the Sunflower soil.
Because in their eyes, this thing was useless, so naturally they couldn't imagine that even if some people guessed that it was trying to kill the disciples in the sect.
Su Mo knew that the more he covered it up, the more obvious the truth became, so he didn't do anything, just stayed at home honestly, and at most, he used homemade soap a few times more when he took a bath.
And when Su Mo was still worried, he didn't expect that there was news that the murderer was arrested early the next morning, and there was really a person named Xu Lin in the miscellaneous service, seeing this, Su Mo was also a little helpless and sorry, obviously found that there was no loss, so he casually arrested a messenger, convicted him, and then punished to show the prestige of the sect.
So it doesn't matter if this person's name is Xu Lin or not, because there will be other people named Xu Lin besides him.
Early in the morning, the miscellaneous servants were organized by their respective stewards, and Su Mo was also called by the white stewards to stand in formation with other people who were managed by the white stewards and were taken to the criminal law field to punish the miscellaneous servants who were seriously wrong, and they were rarely used, at least Su Mo was here for the first time.
The field was so large that hundreds of people could stand loosely, and some of the people in charge of the criminal or related personnel stood or sat on it.
And the one named "Xu Lin" also knelt down to face Su Mo's miscellaneous servants.
Su Mo's face was pale, but Su Mo knew that although he felt guilty, he was more glad that he was not discovered, and that the person above was not him.
Maybe from the beginning, Su Mo was just living there, and suddenly one day he died like the person on the stage, and even died for someone else, and the person who replaced him was still watching below.
Su Mo tried his best to empty his brain, just like he once remembered how his parents would grieve when they found out that they were gone, but at this time, his brain was no longer under Su Mo's control, even if Su Mo tried to use pain or other things to divert his attention, it was useless.
"Brother Su".
A slight call was like a powerful claw that tore Su Mo out of his chaotic thoughts, and when he heard the sound, he saw Luo Xiaoqin throwing a concerned look at Su Mo worriedly.
"Don't stop there".
Su Mo muttered to himself and looked at Luo Xiaoqin with a calm and firm gaze, but his face was a little bloodless, and he smiled reluctantly, in the end, it was the world that was wrong.
