Chapter 143: Who Is the Murderer?

It didn't take long for the mountain to open his eyes. After all, it is a young child, and as soon as he wakes up, he gets up directly from the ground. He looked around, as if looking for something, and finally landed on mine.

"Big brother...... I...... My sword has been robbed!...... "The mountain cried as he spoke.

Seeing his sad appearance, I immediately walked into the courtyard, then reached out and patted him lightly on the back: "It's all young men, why do you still cry when you say you cry." If you do this, people will laugh at you. Don't cry, and then tell me who stole your sword. Big brother will help you recover it. ”

As soon as Oyama heard that the sword could be retrieved, he immediately stopped crying, and it seemed that he really liked the sword.

He looked at me and whispered, "Big brother, is it...... It's a dark shadow. I didn't even see what he looked like, and I was knocked unconscious. Do you think I'm useless?"

When I heard this, I smiled faintly and said, "How can it be? I think Dashan is a brave man, and when the black shadow came, you didn't fear or retreat, right?"

Dashan immediately nodded, "Big brother, I'm not afraid. I wanted to fight him, but ...... But I was knocked unconscious. ”

"It's okay, let's go back to dinner first. After eating, the big brother will think of a way to see how he can help you take the little sword back. ”

When Dashan heard this, he immediately danced happily. A child is a child, easy to coax.

Ping'er stepped forward at this time, and had to admit that she was so calm at such a young age.

She carefully checked Dashan's body, and after finding that there were no injuries, she reproached: "Next time, you are not allowed to run out, this time is a lesson." ”

Dashan knew that he had made a mistake, so he lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

After I pacified Dashan, I immediately looked up at the witch, "There is Granny Lao who comes to the rescue, and I will take Dashan back." He hasn't eaten yet. ”

Hearing this, the shrine maiden immediately smiled and nodded. As soon as the villagers saw that the mountains were fine, they immediately dispersed and went back to their homes to find their own mothers.

When all three of us got home, the food was cold. Ping'er had to go to the hot dish again, while I sat down in my chair and thought to myself.

In order to please his sister, Dashan went to light the fire. I craned my chin and thought about it for a while without coming up with an eyebrow.

I only know that this sacrificial village must be related to Qinling, but what kind of gods are they worshipping?

Who was the person who attacked Dashan and snatched the ancient sword? Just as I was thinking, Ping'er and Dashan had already walked out with their meals.

Food can always make people forget some troubles for a while. The three of us immediately gobbled it up at the small table.

After lunch, I decided to follow the mountain to see where he had been attacked, and perhaps I could find some clues.

The mountain led the way, and it didn't take long for us to come to a wooded place at the east end of the village. There is a lot of bush in this grove, so it is difficult to spot anyone hiding in the shadows.

In front of a large tree, we stopped.

Dashan immediately said, "Big brother, that's where I practiced swords. You can see that there are still marks I have drawn on the big tree. ”

Indeed, there were several slashes from the sword on the trunk of the tree. That is to say, there is no doubt that this is the point of incident.

I immediately nodded my eyebrows and opened my eyes. Under my discerning eyes, I will not let go of any clues.

The mountain was facing the tree to practice his sword, which meant that the black shadow had attacked him from his right rear. I then walked on crutches towards the bush behind my right, and through the bush, I immediately saw a cloud of black gas that had not yet dissipated.

This black qi is yin qi, because the bushes block the sunlight, so it can continue to exist.

I took a closer look at the underside of the bushes, and finally I found footprints. Because the bushes are more humid, the footprints are more legible.

From the size of the footprints, I deduced that the man's feet must have been between thirty-five and thirty-six yards. So it seems that the dark shadow must be a short man, or that he is just a woman.

I also thought about whether it could be done by the feminine object, but the feminine thing is floating, so naturally there will be no footprints. Moreover, Yin Wu definitely did not dare to approach the ancient sword, which was tantamount to asking for his own death.

After all the speculations, I finally came to a conclusion. This person who attacked the mountain must be a person from the village.

Standing up, I found a little bit of fabric fiber in the bushes again. The people of the village wore clothes made of cloth that they had spun themselves, so they were similar to the kind of cloth between linen and cotton.

At this moment, the branches of the trees are hung with silk materials, so this person must have been to the outside city.

I carefully put away the fabric fibers, and then walked out of the bushes and walked to the tree.

Immediately after the attack, Oyama fell into a coma, but the villagers found him and took him to the shrine maiden's house. The messy rows of footprints must have been left by the villagers, and I didn't see any footprints other than that.

If this is analyzed, the person who hurt the mountain should have entered the village. In this way, I am even more sure of my previous thoughts, this person who sneaked up on the mountain was a short man or a woman in the village, and he knew how to use the yin object to attack, which shows that this person is not an ordinary person.

But in the small spirit sacrifice village, who is good at controlling the yin things except the witch?" "Could it be that the witch did it?"

I thought about it for a moment and immediately dismissed this speculation. Since the witch was able to save the mountain, it means that she still takes good care of the mountain, and judging from the relationship between the mountain and the witch, he also trusts the witch very much and often goes to her house to play.

The main thing is that the shrine maiden is older and walks very slowly, so she is afraid that she is not so agile to sneak up on a child. So who is it?

I thought for a moment, and then asked Dashan, "Dashan, did the black shadow speak? Did you hear her voice?"

Dashan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The black shadow came out directly, and I didn't even react, so I snatched my little sword, and then slapped me unconscious." I didn't even see him, but ...... But he's not tall, half a head taller than me. By the way, I smelled a smell of tea on him, like the smell of tea from my mother-in-law's house. ”

"What? Are you sure?"

Dashan was startled when he saw my strict appearance, and then said timidly: "I...... I don't like tea, and I often go to my mother-in-law's house, and she always makes this kind of tea, so ...... So I can remember it clearly. ”

Hearing this, I immediately targeted the shrine maiden again. Originally, I also excluded her, but from the fragrance of this Pu'er tea, I am sure that it is her.

"Let's go, let's go back first. With that, I walked on crutches, and Dashan hurriedly followed. But just as we were leaving, I suddenly sensed a hint of coldness.

I jerked back and saw a dark figure disappear into the bushes.

"What's the matter? Is there a feminine object?Or do I have a dazzle in my eyes?" Because the leg injury has not healed, even if I chase it, I probably can't catch it, and the most important thing is that I just glanced at it in a hurry, and I am not sure if it is a feminine thing.

After thinking about it, I finally decided to go back to the village first. When I returned to Oyama's house, I happened to pass by the shrine maiden's courtyard.

I looked up and saw that the door was closed. Seeing this, I suddenly had an idea.

"The shadow just now may be a shrine maiden, but now you can confirm that if you enter the house and find that she is not there. "After that, I asked Oyama to go home by himself, and I pushed the door straight into the shrine maiden's courtyard.

"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, are you at home? Mother-in-law?"

I cried tentatively, but there was no response in the room. Looking at the closed door, I immediately plucked up the courage to push it in.

But at this moment, the door opened by itself. Then I saw the witch rubbing her eyes, and then asked puzzledly, "Young man, is there something wrong? My old woman has been woken up by you when she is taking a nap." ”

As soon as I saw the shrine maiden, my mind immediately went up. The shadow in the forest isn't her?

Thinking of this, I smiled embarrassedly and said, "Mother-in-law, I ...... I wanted to ask you for tea. Last time I drank a few cups of tea you brewed, I was attracted by the aroma of tea, so ...... That's why I want to ask you to make your own tea. You...... You wouldn't mind, would you?"

The witch looked at me and said with a faint smile: "Since you also like to drink tea, you can be regarded as half of my bosom friend." Wait a minute, I'll get it for you. With that, she turned and staggered in.

I stared at her feet, and suddenly I frowned. These feet are ...... It turned out to be a three-inch golden lotus.

The custom of binding feet began to appear in the period of Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and continued until the founding of New China before it completely disappeared.

The three-inch golden lotus does not match the footprints in the bushes at all, and it seems that this sneak attack on the mountain is definitely not a witch. That's not her, who is it?

After a while, the shrine maiden came out with a small cloth bag.

She handed me the small cloth bag and said, "I don't have much tea left, so I'll give you some." You have to cherish it. ”

When I heard this, I immediately said gratefully: "Thank you mother-in-law, the junior will retire first." With that, I slowly walked out of the yard with a cloth bag and crutches.

The shrine maiden looked at my back and laughed unexpectedly. This laughter is crisp, like the song of a lark, which really doesn't match her age.

Of course I didn't care about that, I really thought it was a bird's call.

With Pu'er tea in hand, I will soon be at Dashan's house. Seeing Dashan's dejected appearance, I immediately encouraged: "Dashan, Xiaojian will definitely find it." Don't worry, even if you can't find it, the eldest brother will give you another in the future. Be happy!"

When Dashan heard this, he immediately laughed. After a day of tossing, my leg reacted, and the pain told me that I needed to rest.

But as soon as I walked into the room, I felt a hint of yin.

Then I saw Ping'er come out of the room, and behind her, there was a white-faced female ghost......
