Chapter 44: Clearing the Fog and Creating New Doubts
Yu Xun had only heard of the legendary strange man of "The Wind Passed Without a Shadow" Guo Jingsan, and he never expected that he would have a direct face-to-face conversation with him today......
And from Guo Jingsan's speech and demeanor, it is not difficult for Yu Xun to see: This old man is actually a frank and honest person, although there is a gap in age between the two, but they can talk to each other, and they are very close to each other!
Now, since I have been invited sincerely, I might as well have a good chat with him, and I might as well take the opportunity to learn some news......
Thinking of this, Yu Xun simply said neatly: "The younger brother is very lucky to have met the eldest brother today, and he is full of joy, and he must do his best - as the host's hospitality!"
So, he invited Guo Jingsan to walk down the watchtower together, and the two of them moved to the main hall of the main courtyard, sat down and slowly tasted tea and chatted......
During the conversation, on a whim, Guo Jingsan told Yu Xun an interesting story......
For the past few months, Lao Guo has been wandering around the Dragon Cave Mountain alone, in order to track down an extremely rare ferret.
One night just over two months ago, it must have been the night of the fifteenth day of the lunar month—because he remembered that the moon in the sky was particularly round that night, and he followed the ferret all the way to Shangluowu.
Yu Xun thought to himself: The night of the fifteenth day of the lunar month? Wasn't that the night before he returned from Juyanzhou and returned to Shangluowu?
I could only hear Jing San continue to say - because he was chasing too closely, the disturbed ferret panicked and jumped into the deep ditch in front of the dock!
After a long time, I didn't see it run out. So, he simply hid in a tree and waited patiently......
Suddenly, he saw that the little creature had taken refuge on the other side of the ravine, and only flashed outside the dock door—and it had struck into the dock again through the crack in the dock door!
Hearing this, Yu Xun couldn't help but interject, and briefly told Guo Jingsan about the strange death of his housekeeper Uncle Fan...... He also said that until now, he still can't fully figure out the real cause of Uncle Fan's death.
Guo Jingsan listened, tilted his head and thought about it seriously, and then slowly said his speculation: "Although I couldn't witness the situation inside the dock gate at that time, according to my judgment, the real situation at that time was very likely to be - Uncle Fan suddenly found the ferret that came in, and at the same time, the mink was also frightened, and instantly triggered a very strong discharge, shaking out the sharp ice ridge on the fur and shooting him!"
Yu Xun felt that such a statement was a bit bizarre, and immediately asked in confusion: "There can be such a thing?"
Guo Jingsan said: "Little brother, do you know, what I have been tracking is not an ordinary ferret, it is an extremely strange species of ferrets, and it is called "lightning marten" in the industry. This lightning marten is very fast, and when frightened, it will give a strong electric shock. When it is icy and icy, under its extremely strong electric shock, it will definitely shake out the frozen ice edges on the hair and scatter them in all directions! Those ice edges are like silver needles, if they hit the vital point, they will definitely cause casualties!"
His words-Yu Xun suddenly realized, and couldn't help but sigh repeatedly: "It turns out that things are like this, it's no wonder that Uncle Fan is so dead!"
Yu Xun had to meet Jing San today, and after listening to him tell the story of that night's experience, he really solved the mystery of the cause of Uncle Fan's death.
Yu Xun, who has always been thoughtful, couldn't help but secretly sort out his thoughts in his heart: Now judging from the cause of Uncle Fan's death, the evil cultists of the Western Regions should not have blatantly invaded Shangluowu - but what explanation should be given to the murderous news reported by the eldest brother Feige's biography?
In any case, Yu Xun was still happy that a mystery had finally been solved, so he replaced it with the best tea more diligently, made the tea politely, and held the tea cup to greet the guests......
Guo Jingsan was very interested in talking today, and after taking a sip of tea gently, he told Yu Xun about another strange thing in the dock that night with a mysterious expression......
That night, Guo Jingsan saw the ferret into the dock door, and immediately performed light skills and took off. In the blink of an eye, he climbed the outer wall of the dock fort as if he were walking on the ground, and stood on top of the watchtower and looked around—trying to find the trace of the lightning marten......
Suddenly, he noticed a white figure in the courtyard in the middle of the dock, moving secretively and swiftly, and in the middle of the night it was—like a ghost!
Suddenly found that there was another person in the dock, Guo Jingsan suddenly felt very shocked - because as early as the beginning of the month, Yu Hong, the young dock master, had already led the crowd to leave. He hurriedly ducked behind the female wall of the watchtower, leaving only a pair of eyes—watching the movement of the "white shadow" tightly through the battlement......
"What happened then? Yu Xun was anxious to know the outcome.
