Chapter 41: Difficult to trace
"Didn't you just say that you can't reason?" Li Zhengdao wondered.
Ying Wuxin smiled and said, "Isn't this a new clue?"
Returning to Zhang Village together, the old couple was not seen at the entrance of the village, it should be strange, according to reason, the old couple should be waiting at the entrance of the village, why did they not see anyone.
The courtyard door was open, and when I looked inside, there was light in the dilapidated thatched hut, and I could faintly hear the sound of people talking.
"Erwa, are you asleep?" the old man's voice asked.
"Hmm. The old woman agreed.
With a roll of his eyes, Ying Wuxin told Li Zhengdao about the matter and proposed to take a look.
The second baby appeared at home, which was an unexpected surprise, Li Zhengdao naturally agreed, and the two went to knock on the door together to greet them, and the old couple went out to thank them gratefully, and then invited the two into the house.
In the dim and narrow room, the second baby was lying on the straw mat and falling asleep, wearing only a pair of trousers, Ying Wuxin stepped forward to check it, shook his head slightly, and then Li Zhengdao went to check, and his face sank.
Although the second baby came back, she was traumatized and sane, and she was in a coma for a few days, and it was impossible to wake up, so they still couldn't ask.
"The expected thing, since the evil has shot at the second baby, it will inevitably be sealed, but what surprised me a little is that the evil simply made the second baby unconscious, but did not directly kill him. Ying Wuxin whispered.
Li Zhengdao's eyes flashed twice, he didn't say anything, exited the room, and then invited the second elder to the mansion in Zhang Village.
The old couple was a little surprised, but seeing that their son had returned, and that something big had happened in the village, they also needed manpower, so they nodded and expressed their willingness to go.
"What are you bringing them in?" Ying Wuxin asked quietly.
Li Zhengdao glanced at him and smiled proudly, "Don't you want to reason? I will definitely ask them later, and bring them over in advance to save time." ”
Ying Wuxin's face changed, and the words went directly to his heart, and he smiled and said, "Sure enough, Brother Dao understands me." ”
Back to the Zhang family's mansion, the time has come to the right time, there is still an hour, it is time to come, a new day will come, and the great terror may also come, thinking that the women in the two villages will also go crazy at that time, attack their children, and persecute them, both of them have extremely heavy hearts.
Bai Miaozhen brought the people from the village over to inquire about the situation, and was relieved to learn that there were some clues, and then left to continue to take care of Sun Xiaoman.
At this time, Sun Xiaoman has been moved to the Zhang family's mansion, and in the courtyard outside, the crazy women of the whole village have also been transferred, which is what the old village chief meant, because once these women get out of trouble, ordinary houses cannot be blocked at all, only the high walls of the mansion can play a certain blocking effect.
Ying Wuxin also heard some voices, some very bad sounds, but at the moment he couldn't stop it, and he couldn't tell the others.
"Hopefully something like this doesn't happen. ”
I prayed in my heart, and Ying Wuxin called the old village chief and others over, and naturally there were the parents of the second child, and everyone gathered in the hall together.
"Do you know about the second baby going out at night?" Ying Wuxin asked the first question to the old couple first.
The old man sighed and said: "I only knew what I knew tonight, and I looked at the things I brought back, the second baby went out many times at night, but I don't know what to do when I go out?"
Li Zhengdao said: "Catch mice." ”
"What are you doing catching mice?" asked the villagers curiously.
Li Zhengdao wondered, "Don't you know?"
Everyone shook their heads, and the old village chief said: "We really don't understand, although the village is besieged by the earth demons, but the time is limited after all, it is less than a month, and the village is far from the point of running out of food and catching mice." Besides, even if there is really no food, we are more likely to dig out the rat's nest, where the rat stores no less food, which is more cost-effective than catching mice. ”
Li Zhengdao was stunned and speechless, and Ying Wuxin smiled: "Ahem, it's not to catch mice, it's to dig out the mouse's nest, saying that it's going to make a dish, do you know?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was even more puzzled, and they shook their heads one after another, saying that they had never heard of cooking with mice.
If it really gets to the point of eating mice, it's already very bad, just to be able to fill your stomach, who cares if you don't have any vegetables, catch the mice, and you will definitely eat it directly.
The old village chief said: "Two Daoist warriors, can the old man ask, what are you looking for?"
"Find the real culprit, make the women in the village crazy, the real culprit who mutilated the child, so far we have only found these clues, if we can learn more, maybe we can find out the real culprit, eliminate it, and all the women in the village will return to normal. "You shouldn't be serious.
As soon as they heard this, everyone was moved.
The old village chief was no exception, turned to a few heads of the house and said: "You have all heard it, figuring out what to do in the rat nest is related to the lives of dozens of women in the village, and it is also related to the future of dozens of families in the village, it is very important, you go back to investigate as soon as possible, you must find out." ”
The two heads of the room got up and prepared to act, but the head of the second room sat there, frowning and said, "Uncle, this mouse cooks, I really want to be impressed." ”
"Think about it. Ying Wuxin and the old village chief urged at the same time.
The head of the second room was an old man in his fifties, who was thin, but he was in good spirits, and his eyes were very attentive, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It seems to be called three squeaks." ”
"Three squeaks, what is that?" Li Zhengdao was very strange, this name didn't sound like a dish.
The second room said: "It is a dish that is eaten fresh with raw materials, take a few mouse cubs that have just been born, dip a plate, and a pair of chopsticks, and you can eat it." ”
"When you pick up a mouse cub with chopsticks, it squeaks once, when it dips it in sauce, it makes a second sound, and when it puts it in its mouth and is eaten, it makes a third sound, so it is called three squeaks. ”
Li Zhengdao's face changed rapidly, his throat agitated, and he hurriedly covered his face and ran out of the hall, and then the sound of vomiting came from outside.
Ying Wuxin's stomach turned over for a while, but in the end, he endured it, nodded and said, "I understand, needless to say." ”
The second room immediately shut up, in fact, he had just heard of such a dish, he had never seen it, he had never eaten it, and he rarely talked about it.
After a while, Li Zhengdao came back with a pale face, sat on the chair and gasped: "It's really unconscionable to eat like this." ”
Erfangtou Nuo Nuo said: "This is not bad, monkey brains, goose plate roasting, and pouring donkey meat are even more cruel." ”
Li Zhengdao was speechless for a while, and his face became more and more ugly.
Ying Wuxin smiled and said: "Don't care about the rest, let's talk about the matter, just discuss the present, do you know who is eating three squeaks nearby." ”
Everyone shook their heads again, how could they know who was eating this before, which had never been heard of before.
The old village chief said: "Then go back, and every family should ask carefully." ”
A few heads of the house and the young man said goodbye and left, Ying Wuxin saw the old couple still sitting below, and suddenly an idea rose in his heart, so he asked: "Second elder, who does the second baby usually intersect with?"
"What do you mean by intersection?" the old man asked.
"It's who you usually play with. "The old village chief didn't have a good air.
The old man shook his head, "Erwa's brain has a problem, and the people in the village generally don't care about him, only when the children in the village are naughty, they will go to find Erwa, but it's all frolic, Erwa doesn't like it, so he will hide home every time." ”
