Chapter 13: Doubts in the Village

After explaining these things properly, Lin Fengjin went to check on those who had accidentally drunk raw water, had convulsions, and were confused, and felt that their symptoms were quite similar to those of the two brothers of the Chen family, but it should be because of the symptoms of the medicine, so after the medicine, they obviously began to recover.

Next, Lin Fengjin went to check on the Chen brothers, for Lin Fengjin, although he has night vision, it is impossible to leave the camp at this time, and go to the fork in the road to find out, so if you want to solve the mystery in your heart, then the most convenient and fast way is for the Chen brothers to wake up by themselves, and then tell their own experiences.

However, the second child of the Chen family was still snoring like thunder at this time, and the sequelae of mental damage continued to continue, and his forehead was hot, and he didn't know if he had been in the rain for too long and suffered from the wind and cold, or if he had been hit by an unknown poison?

"This hellish place is really fucking evil," Lin Fengjin frowned.

At this time, the chief steward of the Lin family also came to visit the patient, and pulled Lin Fengjin to the side and whispered:

"Childe, I think the Chen brothers' illness is a little strange, and it is likely that we encounter something that is not clean. ”

Lin Fengjin nodded slightly and said:

"This is something not quite right, Bi Lao, do you have anything to do now?"

The Lin family's big steward Bi was a cadre under the Lin family's rivals, and Li Hu had to call Bi Bo when he saw him, but later Lin Feng had a chance, so he was dug up by Lin and entrusted with a heavy task.

In the face of this old man, Lin Fengjin didn't dare to hold it up, so he was quite respectful.

The chief steward said, "I'm afraid of their disease." The effect of the drug is not very good, can I change some other methods?"

Lin Fengjin was stunned and said:

"Of course you can. ”

The steward called someone over, and accompanied him into the cave where the cattle were kept, and then walked to the father-in-law of the land in the cave, and it can be seen that although the cave is quite crowded, the father-in-law of the land is separated from each other, and obviously maintains a very respectful attitude, and in the fragrant wax pot in front of the father-in-law of the land, there is still green smoke curling. Apparently it has just been incensed.

The steward of Bi Da stepped forward, bowed to the father-in-law of the land three times, and then grabbed a small handful of incense ash from the incense wax basin in front of him, and then mixed it into the wine bag next to him, and took it to Chen Da to drink.

Chen Da was in a semi-comatose state at this time, and after drinking the fragrant ash wine, he suddenly vomited out a large amount of black water, which was extremely smelly, and then it seemed that he was still unconscious. But it is also a turn of the day. As soon as they saw that this trick was effective, everyone mixed it with incense ash into the wine, so that those who drank raw water by mistake and got sick drank it, and the effect was immediate. The men vomited one after another, and then gradually regained consciousness, and although their bodies were weak, some people were already crying out for hunger. It's time to drink porridge.

After seeing that the companions had recovered one after another, the atmosphere of the whole team also changed a lot, and the oppressive feeling that seemed to be a dark cloud over the team was also dispelled. Therefore, without urging them, most of the people in the convoy fell asleep in the tents, and the whole camp quickly fell silent.

However, in the middle of the night, the silence of the camp was suddenly broken by a series of barking dogs, it was the roar of the mastiffs guarding the camp, followed by the wailing of canines.

Apparently, the mastiff roaming the camp sensed something strange and pounced on it, only to be hurt by the unknown threat. Fortunately, at this time, Lin Fengjin's pre-arranged night duty mobile team had already reacted quickly, and they immediately rushed out with their clothes and swooped down on the muddy water.

However, the damp ground still slowed down their mobility, and by the time they reached the west side of the camp where the bark had been heard, they found that a mastiff had fallen in a pool of blood, its belly seemed to have been cut open, and its intestines and internal organs were flowing all over the ground, and the other two mastiffs were barking wildly towards the west.

You must know that the three mastiffs brought by the Lin family can be said to be very fierce, bold, can kill hungry wolves, and can compete with lions and tigers, which are particularly fierce, but now they are obviously afraid of each other, which is really worrying, not only that, it is dark outside, and it is extremely muddy, so the team on duty at night did not dare to go deep for a while.

At this time, Lin Fengjin and others also rushed over, brought torches to shine, and actually felt that there were many more footprints on the muddy ground at this time, but the appearance of the footprints was similar to what Lin Fengjin had seen before, the back half of the foot was similar to a person, but the front was similar to a bird's claw, and the footprints were at least one zhang apart, indicating that the bounce of the attacking monster was also particularly amazing.

When the guards saw such a thing, they all looked at each other, looking a little frightened and suspicious, but Lin Fengjin was unwilling to reveal his identity, so he could only remain silent, but Bi Da had been in charge of business for forty years, and he had never seen anything strange, so he laughed and laughed at the moment:

"It's just a mandrill, what kind of big deal am I supposed to be?"

When this sentence was spoken, the atmosphere in the field was immediately relaxed, and there was humanity immediately:

"Steward, do you know the origin of this monster?"

Bi Da Steward said disdainfully:

"It's nothing more than a mandrill ghost, and I don't know how many I've seen of it, so I can only do it to those small caravans of two or three people. You might as well think about it, if it is not afraid of us, why does the people who see us turn around and run away as soon as they come? At best, it is like a fox and a wolf, a beast that steals chickens and dogs. ”

As soon as everyone heard what the chief steward Bi said, they immediately felt that what they said was very reasonable, yes, this beast is not afraid of us, why did he flee when he saw more people? Later, the great steward Bi used the analogy of a fox and a wolf, and even lowered his threat to the same level.

Then the chief steward of Bi ordered the people to prepare fishing nets, excrement and urine, and when he saw that the rain had stopped, he ordered torches to be planted in the main roads around the camp, and then the mastiff was tied with ropes to prevent it from moving around. Just take its ears and eyes sensitive, howling and warning ability. To be honest, it was very heart-wrenching for this mastiff to die, each head was worth almost a few hundred taels of silver, and it was not easy to train.

When everyone saw these things, it could be said that they had been explained and handled in an orderly manner, so the morale and military spirit that had been floating were stabilized again.

When I got up the next morning, although it didn't rain anymore, and the sky was very gloomy, I began to reorganize my bags and prepare for the road. Lin Fengjin also went to check the west side of the camp after he got up in the morning. I feel that there is a dead end, at the end of which is a very steep cliff, it seems that the footprints are actually climbing the cliff and coming down, and the rest of the people saw it, and they believed the statement of Bi Da Steward "Mandrill", only Lin Fengjin knew in his heart that it should not be a mandrill.

Because the mandrill Lin Fengjin has also seen it, it has a very strong fishy smell on its body, which is very easy to identify, and it is definitely not a bloody smell with a strong breath!

After waking up today. Those who fell ill from drinking raw water by mistake recovered one by one, and although their spirits were still sluggish, they had almost no symptoms, and they could walk empty-handed. Only the Chen brothers are still in a coma, but the fever has also subsided, and they should be able to wake up soon.

As soon as the dry people hastily ate something, they hit the road, and at this time the whole convoy was almost out of food. If you can't get any supplements, you can only grab food with the horses, but fortunately, there should be something to eat at the Zihe ferry in front. So I don't worry too much, although the ground is very muddy at this time, but according to people who have been familiar with the road several times, it is only more than ten miles away from the Zihe ferry, and it will be there at noon.

Originally, this time he was going to send people to fight the front station, but Lin Fengjin felt that the matter of the Chen family brothers yesterday was really a little strange, so he privately said to Steward Bi that everyone should go together, and then separate after this ghost place, Steward Bi also knew that the mountain road was very muddy today, and it would definitely be delayed for a day, at most he would go to Xing'an County, so he agreed with Lin Fengjin's meaning.

After walking for about four or five miles, he also passed through the well-concealed fork in the road, Lin Feng let the caravan go first, and walked in with a few of his subordinates, and felt that the place where the Chen family brothers appeared yesterday, the corpses of the two horses had disappeared without a trace, if it weren't for the large dark red blood stains on the ground, almost all of them made people think that they had gone to the wrong place.

Lin Fengjin observed the surroundings, there was nothing new, and continued to walk forward for a mile or two, feeling that this road began to gradually winding up the mountain, and he didn't know how far there was to reach the end, from the reaction of the Chen brothers, it could be seen that there was something wrong with the Zihe crossing, Lin Fengjin felt that he should not leave the caravan for too long, so he returned the same way.

The caravan had probably walked two or three miles, and all the people couldn't help but spat at the ground and screamed hell! It turns out that this place is only far from the place where we camped yesterday? At most, seven or eight miles, the ground is very dry, and there is no trace of even the slightest rain!

Originally, there was a folk proverb that "a mountain is divided into four seasons, ten miles of different days", and even when it rains on this side of the river, the people present on the other side of the river are not unprecedented, and the key to the problem is that if this abnormal phenomenon is combined with the things encountered by the caravan before, then it will inevitably be a little prominent and extraordinarily weird.

However, the dry road surface also has its own benefits, that is, the degree of travel increases sharply, and soon, the wind is carrying the water vapor blowing in the face, and some people have begun to say happily:

"The front bypass is the Zihe River crossing, his grandmother's, these two days of getting up early and greedy for darkness, so that our old bear has lost a body of fat solidly, and now we have to eat a good meal! Although the hotel at this ferry port is small, the waist branch of the wine lady last time I saw it was really thin!"

Lin Fengjin was already frowning at this time, because it was almost noon now, and although this Zihe crossing was hidden in the woods on the side of the road, there should be cooking smoke anyway. But now there is no sign at all, but yesterday's reaction of the Chen family brothers has already made Lin Fengjin have a bottom in his heart, so he quietly continued to move forward with the caravan.

At the same time, Lin Fengjin had already secretly told Bi to be careful about his affairs, because the Chen brothers were here to get started.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded, this is the customary police post in the caravan, if it is not for the heavy thing, it will definitely not be blown, and then. The whole caravan stopped, and the executioner who had opened the way in front of him hurried back, and said solemnly to the chief steward Bi:

"Steward, there are two dead men on the road ahead!!"

Chief Steward Bi suddenly frowned and said:

"I'll take a look. ”

"I'll go too. Lin Fengjin suddenly spoke, and at the same time said: "Everyone is away from the corpse, don't get close!"

Lin Fengjin already roughly understood at this time, because it was not raining in this section, and the Chen family brothers saw two dead bodies lying on the road, of course, it was impossible to ride a horse and jump over, and their reaction must be to get down from the horse as soon as possible to check. And they are likely to be tricked when they are looking at the corpse, so it can be said that it is quite dangerous to rush close to the corpse, the caravan is not an army after all, and some people are already panicking, and it is best not to lose manpower at this time.

At this time, under Lin Fengjin's signal, the sky wolf had already stepped down from the carriage and headed to the front of the two corpses. It is the shape of a warrior with a golden helmet and golden armor, Lin Fengjin put on a mask and a cloak for him, and his appearance looks like an ordinary person. It's just that the movements are slightly stiff.

The wolf controlled by the stone slave ignores the toxin, is not afraid of any illusions and charms, and can disassemble the parts of his limbs and replace them with new ones at will, making him the best person to detect traps.

At this time, Lin Fengjin saw the heavenly wolf slowly approaching. When the corpse was about to be touched, a faint mist immediately rose from the surface of the corpse, if you look closely. It's a swarm of mosquitoes and flies. This is actually very normal, because at this time of the weather, just put a piece of meat outside, and the work of the day and night will also become stinky, not to mention the dead?

But at this moment, the wolf suddenly slapped his backhand, and then jumped back quickly, Lin Fengjin's eyesight was excellent, and he immediately saw the slap of the wolf, it was a beetle that looked a little ordinary, originally according to common sense, it was nothing to fly out of the mosquitoes and flies rising from the carrion, but this beetle made Lin Fengjin immediately have a creepy feeling.

Why?

Because the appearance of this beetle is very peculiar, the whole body is black, but there are dots of white spots on the back, and this white dot is even weird to form a human face and smile, and even the corners of the mouth are pulled, such a beetle shape naturally makes Lin Fengjin think of the vicious and ferocious Su self envoy.

After all, the Suga Messenger is also in black and white, although the pattern on the back armor is a skull.

But the crux of the matter is that Lin Fengjin not only heard the Wa Snake God say it himself, but also saw that the Su I envoy is the most yin, poisonous and evil thing, and it is a collection of the blood and evil qi of hundreds of thousands of people who sacrificed at that time, and it will be rejected by the Central Plains Dragon Qi at all, and it will completely lose its power on the Central Plains Big 6, and he will die if he stays for half an hour, otherwise, if Wu Zuocheng is attacked by this thing, I believe he will fall a long time ago.

After the wolf slapped the beetle away, he immediately picked up a stone and smashed it on this guy, and surprisingly, the stone cracked directly, but the wolf immediately picked up another stone and smashed it, and finally broke three stones in a row, and finally smashed it to death.

Seeing this scene, Lin Fengjin was convinced that this thing was not a Suself envoy - the real Sume envoy should not be said to be smashed with a stone, or hit with a big hammer like an iron, and he didn't want to damage it in the slightest, but he also had an intuition, that is, there was absolutely no such coincidence in the world, how could there be a beetle so similar to the Sugo envoy? There must be some origin in this.

After killing the "Pseudo-Su I Emissary", the Sky Wolf continued to carefully flip the corpse, and after examining both of them, he stood up. has already passed the news to Lin Fengjin:

"The injuries of the two corpses are one of the stab wounds in the chest, and the other is a broken skull, both of which are not natural deaths, looking at the dress and age of these two corpses, it should be an elderly couple. The most peculiar thing is that the elderly couple's stomach was cut open and their internal organs were hollowed out, and if they had been tortured like this while they were alive, there must have been clear traces of struggle on their hands and feet, so it can be judged that they were attacked after death. ”

Lin Fengjin squinted his eyes and pondered for a while, but he still didn't get any results, he asked the body to move to the side of the road, and said to Bi Da with a calm face:

"It seems that this place is the distance to the Zihe Ferry?"

Bi Da Steward said:

"That's up ahead. ”

Lin Fengjin frowned and said:

"This corpse has rotted like this, and it is estimated that it has been placed on the road for at least a day or two, but the residents inside the ferry are not aware of it, which can only show one thing, that is, the situation inside the ferry is not optimistic. ”

Chief Steward Bi was stunned, nodded slightly, and said:

"Childe Takami, what does Childe mean?"

Lin Feng said respectfully:

"I'll take some people to the front to explore the way first, and then let's take precautions. ”

Chief Steward Bi immediately frowned and objected:

"Childe, how can you risk your life?"

Lin Fengjin said lightly:

"Staying here may not be safe, besides, if I don't go, will I let your old man toss this old bone? Don't worry, I'll take enough people with me." ”

Chief Steward Bi thumped his waist, sighed and said:

"That's it, you have to be careful, childe. ”

Lin Fengjin nodded, and then a group of subordinates poured out, surrounded them in the center, and strode towards the Zihedu in front of him.

Turning through the woods in front, it is a gentle and slightly inclined slope, this slope has been inclined to the bank of the Zihe River, the official road in front of it bends a curve here, and the small market town of the Zihe River is located on the river beach, surrounded by several bamboo forests, a lot of water winter trees, green shade.

This ferry port is composed of dozens of scattered houses, almost all of which are equivalent to a small town, these houses are very typical mud walls and bricks, red mud mixed with truncated wheat straw to make thick wall tiles, and the large green tiles that can be burned out after a day and a night of hard work all show that the main house is quite attentive when repairing the house.

According to the introduction of people who have been here before, the resident population of this Zihedu is two or three hundred, including a Du Dahu who has been a county lieutenant, and a Li butcher, all of whom are from a well-to-do family, and if it is the peak season of beet sugar, the resident population can reach four or five hundred.

Lin Fengjin's nose twitched slightly, he already vaguely smelled blood, but it was not rancid, but the kind that had dried up, although the rest of the people did not have Lin Fengjin's sensitive sense of smell, but they also saw that there was a dead silence in the Zihe crossing, and there was no such vigorous scene of outsiders in the rest of the villages as soon as outsiders came, immediately roosters barked, dogs barked, and children ran away.
