Volume 2: Red Dust Makes a Mess Chapter 113: Clues
"Who is Yan Junzi? What did he say?"
Zhao Zhi asked repeatedly, Luo Zhu opened a mouth of big yellow teeth, and hurriedly denied it: "Na, Na Yan Junzi's words can't be heard, can't be heard! He is a crazy man in Erzhuang, and there is something wrong with his brain......
Crazy man?
"Don't get in the way, you tell me everything he said. β
β...... Na, that, a Yan Junzi is good at talking nonsense, he is talking nonsense......"
After a long time, Zhao Zhi learned what happened, this Yan Junzi's name is Luo Yanjun, he was a clever child when he was a child, but when he grew up, he had a fever and burned his brain, and he was crazy and talked nonsense all day long.
Luo Yanjun's father and mother died early, and he couldn't work, wandering around the village in his twenties, and the people in the village saw him pitiful and treated him well. When Luo Yanjun saw someone, he begged for a few mouthfuls of food, and he survived in such a mess.
According to Luo Zhu, Luo Yanjun was still babbling about what a bunch of people had gone up the back mountain a few days ago, and said that the mountain god grass monster had killed people, so scared that he stayed in the bullpen for several days and didn't come out.
Luo Zhu only thought he was crazy and ignored him, anyway, there was dregs of bran in the cattle pen, and he couldn't starve him, so he didn't care about him.
Zhao Qian thought thoughtfully: "Then where is Luo Yanjun now?
Luo Zhu rubbed and said: "Don't go, the cowpen stinks, I'm afraid ......."
Zhao Qian interrupted: "Take me there!"
Luo Zhu smiled wryly, nodded and led Zhao Zhi out.
The sun is scorching, and the yellow earth of Xiaoluozhuang shining under the sun is warm. The fruit trees by the roadside were full of fruit, and from time to time ripe ones fell to the groundβthe strong men ran out, and no one picked them.
Luo Zhu was distressed, picked up two from the ground, wiped his dirty sleeves and sent them to his mouth.
Seeing Zhao Zhi walking with his head down, Luo Zhu was embarrassed to eat by himself, and the people in the mountains were simple, so he grinned and handed over one. Zhao Zhi shook his head and didn't answer - the sleeves were greasy and dirtier than the loess on the ground, and he didn't know what Luo Zhu thought.
Turning a small hill, Zhao Jian smelled a strange smell, like the smell of grass mixed with cow dung. The cattle pen was built on a small slope behind the col, far away from the settlement, and Zhao saw a low cowshed fenced with wooden planks.
The closer you get, the stronger the smell of cow dung - the cowpen is already dirty, and I don't know how many days it hasn't been cleaned.
"Yan Jun cub!
Before he got closer, Luo Zhu covered his nose and called loudly.
After shouting a few times and not moving, Luo Zhu smiled embarrassedly: "I don't know what happened to this Yan Junzi, maybe I got up in my sleep, and I went to call him out......"
"No, let's go in together. β
Zhao Zhi waved his hand and walked straight into the bullpen, Luo Zhu saw that this high-ranking immortal master had entered, and he was embarrassed to stink, so he hurriedly followed.
Entering the bullpen, the stench came to his face, Zhao Zhi had stayed in the dung pit in his previous life, and he could bear it, but the cowpen was densely packed with cow dung, and there was no place to stay.
Zhao Zhi pinched the magic trick in his hand, and used a cloud cloth rain technique, and the washing was clean, and the pig baby behind him was dumbfounded, so he almost knelt down and shouted miracles.
Zhao opened the cowshed, only to see seven or eight old cows ruminating and chewing grass inside, the cowshed was chaotic, the newly pulled cow dung on the ground was full of maggots, dozens of mosquitoes were buzzing around several old cows, and the tail of the old cow was thrown left and right, carrying out a lengthy tug-of-war.
"Hey, Yan Junzi?"
Luo Zhu pulled the haystack of the cattle pen and searched around. Except for the old cow and the mosquito, how can there be any human figure?
Zhao Qian said with a gloomy face: "Is he usually in this bullpen?"
Luo Zhu scratched his head and said, "Yes, Yan Junzi will either go to find something to eat, or take a nap in this cattle pen......"
"I saw him two days ago, why is it that he is a wooden ......man now?"
Luo Zhuyou didn't give up, turning over several piles of haystacks back and forth.
"Don't move!"
Zhao Cheng said in a deep voice, the refining spirit induction technique was opened, and the spiritual sense instantly enveloped the entire cowshed, and even the old cow could clearly see a few lice on his body.
"That's not right here!"
Zhao Yuan's expression was abrupt, he pushed away Luo Zhu, lifted several piles of grass stacks covering the ground, and found a small pool of black stains in front of a wood olive root, Zhao Yuan pinched it and smelled it, like the smell of grass and wood ashes burning into ashes.
Zhao Qian turned around and asked, "In your little Luozhuang's cowshed, are others allowed to light a fire?"
Luo Zhu hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't let me don't let me, there used to be a little deflated doll in the cowshed to light a fire, and if he beat him, the wooden man dared to light it, Yan Junzi couldn't light the fire when he was sick in the brain, so he let him watch the cow's ...... in the cowshed."
"That's it!"
Zhao Zhi knew in his heart, since Luo Yanjun couldn't light the fire, where did the grass and wood ash in this cowshed come from?
Zhao Cheng didn't have the ability to return to his roots, so he could only roughly judge that this small pool of ashes was generated by igniting dead grass, and if it was firewood, it would not have turned into such strips.
"I guess, Luo Yanjun has been taken captive!"
"Abducted?"
Luo Zhu was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that there would be no one of the big living people he saw two days ago.
Zhao Xuan concluded that Luo Yanjun's disappearance must be related to the nonsense he said two days ago, otherwise it would have been taken away sooner or later, but in the past two days, he was taken captive.
Zhao Zhen frowned, this clue was broken again.
"By the way, Luo Yanjun said two days ago that he saw a bunch of people going up the back mountain, which back mountain is it?"
Luo Zhu said: "It can still be a back mountain, Erxiao Luozhuang is a back mountain, and Xiaoluo Mountain is connected to Daluo Mountain......"
"Just a mountain?"
"Oh, the slope of Erxiao Luozhuang is not there, and Xiaoluoshan is not ......."
"Good!"
Zhao Yuan's heart moved, and he arched his hand towards Luo Zhu and said, "I've been talking for so long, I'm sorry to trouble Brother Luo! You go back first, I'll go around here by myself." β
"Eh, it's not in the way, it's not in the way, and it's a ......."
Zhao Cheng took out a few pieces of broken silver from the storage bracelet and handed them to Luo Zhu, telling him to tell himself immediately if he had any clues, Luo Zhu happily put away the broken silver, grinning with a mouthful of big yellow teeth and promising to go back and think about it.
"Xiaoluo Mountain...... Da Luo San ......"
Zhao Cheng muttered to himself, took out the map of Wenyang Mansion and looked at it, and suddenly patted his head and scolded: "Damn, it's these two mountains! I'm such a fool, I can......'t even think of it."
The disappearance of Siwangting must be inseparable from Xiao Luoshan!
From Juwu Road to Nanxiang Road, Siwangting is a barren, there are not even a few mountains, only three or four small mounds, until Siwangting Xiaoluozhuang has a hundred zhang of peaks.
The entire village of Siwangting is built on the Da Luo Mountain and the Xiao Luo Mountain, if the disappearance case is man-made, it is impossible to pass through several villages out of thin air and no one will find out, where are the missing people hiding, the answer is already coming out!
Zhao Qian figured out this joint, and secretly scolded himself for being stupid, the deep mountains and old forests are natural abduction and trafficking land, and he didn't find out.
There are two mountain roads leading from Xiaoluozhuang to Xiaoluo Mountain, one is short and steep, which is stepped out by farmers for thousands of years, and the slope is extremely high; the other is a newly built dirt road in recent decades, circling around Xiaoluo Mountain, although it is easy to walk, but the distance is far away, the old farmers who are used to climbing the mountain and farming are not used to walking, and still like to take that path.
Luo Yanjun's cowshed happened to face the mountain road of Xiaoluo Mountain, maybe he came out to pee and relieve his hands, Luo Yanjun just discovered the secret of the missing person, but he was used to talking nonsense, and no one took it seriously.
If he was taken captive to the mountain because he was talking to people everywhere, then the matter would be complicated, and the villagers of Xiaoluozhuang might even be involved in this big case......
Zhao Zhi thought about it while walking the path, this road was rugged, full of weeds, and there were a lot of grasses and thistles, Zhao Zhi took the ox knife and chopped it, and he could barely pass through the thorns and thorns - Zhao Zhi couldn't figure it out, if the people who kidnapped Yan Junzi took this road, then how did they go up......
Is it from another big road?
Zhao Zhen frowned, he wouldn't make a mistake again.
But the next moment, Zhao Yuan's eyes widened, it was a strip of cloth! He saw a string of sparse strips of cloth on the thistle!
Zhao Cheng hurriedly took it off, let go of his spiritual sense, took it in his hand and smelled it, and a faint smell of cow dung came to his nose.
That's it!
Zhao Yan's hand holding the knife couldn't help but tighten, and sure enough, it was as good as he expected, Luo Yanjun had been taken away, and the strip of cloth with the smell of cow dung must have been scraped off when he was taken away.
However, Zhao Zhi immediately became suspicious, who is doing this kind of thing? If you take people captive to the mountains, the mountains are soft and overgrown, and it is impossible to have no footprints, and even if there are no footprints, someone will always have to clean up the weeds that stand in the way, right?
With the doubts in his heart, Zhao Zhi could only climb up step by step, it seems that in this world, there are still too many things he doesn't understand.
After walking for half an hour, Zhao Zhi was also tired, and released the little wolf dog from the spirit beast bag, this little guy has sharp claws, which is a good way to cut the grass.
The little wolf dog had to walk in front of him, Zhao Jian drove this "tool dog" up the mountain, and the speed was a lot faster, he didn't dare to be careless, his spiritual sense was released, and he carefully explored the road ahead......
ββββ
Wenyang Mansion, Jibei, Xia Jia.
Xia Zhengyang, who was dressed in orange clothes, was discussing in the lobby.
There were a few people sitting next to Xia Zhengyang, one was fat, wearing a navy blue brocade robe, and a strange octagonal hat on his head;
"Master Xia, this year, Shui Yunxuan spirit runes have sold 14,320 pieces, including 720 spirit runes above the high level, this is an offering for you, you see ......"
The fat man in brocade took out a jade box from his arms, and after opening it, there were four silver shining rings lying quietly inside, exuding faint spiritual power fluctuations.
That's a storage ring for high-ranking monks!
Xia Zhengyang glanced at him lightly, put away the four storage rings, and said without anger: "This year's harvest is acceptable, if you have the chance, sell the storm talisman treasure." β
The fat man was shocked and quickly nodded in thanks.
At this time, a subordinate suddenly came in from outside, and said a few words in Xia Zhengyang's ear, Xia Zhengyang's face flashed with green energy, and he said coldly: "If there is nothing else, just go down." β
"Yes!"
The two bowed and saluted, and got up to leave.
