Chapter 546: Suspicious Qiupu County Seven
Talking about the crazy Zhaobao, the tavern shopkeeper sighed, Dao Zhaobao was also a clever person, but unfortunately he went to Qingshen Mountain, and it turned out to be like this.
And there are many people like Zhaobao who encounter evil things on Qingshen Mountain, and there are still many in Qiupu County.
Before, when a hunter was hunting on Qingshen Mountain, he had been hearing someone whispering to him in his ear, but there was no half of a figure around.
And the sound was rustling, like the sound of insects crawling on the leaves, and people got goosebumps when they heard it.
When the hunter finally heard the sound in his ears, he was half frightened.
The tavern keeper said, lowering his voice and speaking in a very strange tone, "The Orion heard someone asking him, Have you seen my head?"
The tavern shopkeeper who had been telling ghost stories for a long time, seeing that Mu Yirong and the others didn't seem to believe it, once again said that there are definitely mountain spirits and ghosts in Qingshen Mountain, and he had experienced it personally when he was young.
At that time, it was almost winter, and in order to store firewood, he went up the mountain with his father to cut wood, and because he was in a hurry to urinate, he urinated under a big tree, and as a result, he threw something at him with a stone.
At first, he thought it was a squirrel or a small animal in the tree, but when he looked around, he didn't see a small squirrel or a human figure. And the stones that threw him were still thrown at him from all directions in a disorderly manner.
He was so frightened that he forgot to put on his trousers, and when he didn't find his father, he ran down the hill and ran back to the village crying.
He doesn't remember what happened after that, but his mother told him afterwards that when he ran down the mountain, his father saw him crying and running, and called out to him, but he didn't hear it at all, like a roe deer bitten by a tiger, and ran down the mountain screaming all the way.
After running home from the mountain, the tavern keeper fell headlong on the bed, and was in a coma for more than ten days, with a fever so high that he could fry an egg on his forehead.
At that time, many people said that he would not survive, but later a barefoot doctor in the village went up the mountain to collect herbs and boil them into a medicinal soup for him, so that the fever subsided and saved his life.
Speaking of the past, the tavern keeper was embarrassed, saying that he actually remembered a lot of things later.
The reason why he was frightened on Qingshen Mountain was because he saw a circle of mushrooms growing under the tree where he was peeing, and suddenly turned into a group of small people, and kept throwing stones at him, which scared him so much that he forgot to mention his pants. He was sure that he must have met the mountain spirit and grass demon.
Anyway, that Qingshen Mountain is so evil that almost everyone will encounter some strange things when they go up the mountain. If someone hides in the mountains, it won't take a few days to go crazy.
Whether it is the tavern shopkeeper, or Changshou and the county magistrate Duan Linrui, the statements about Qingshen Mountain are the same.
Anyway, there are mountain spirits and evil spirits on the mountain, whether it is a thief with an eared green water dragon, or someone else, it is impossible to hide on Qingshen Mountain.
Mu Yirong looked at Ruicao, wondering if the things that happened to the people of Qiupu County were really related to the mountain spirits and demons?
If you don't go to the mountain to see, Seocho can't be sure, so you can only go back to rest first, and after dawn, check around the village first, if you don't find anything suspicious, you have to go to Qingshen Mountain.
As the saying goes, listen to people's persuasion and eat well, the tavern shopkeeper hopes that Mu Yirong and the others will listen to the persuasion of others and not go up the mountain, so as not to have any unforeseen accidents.
It's a good thing to catch the thieves and eliminate harm for the people, but it's good if the two of them go crazy because they are frightened, and if they unfortunately lose a small life, it will be too worthless!
Mu Yirong said that this is a matter within the official mission, if all the errand people are afraid of these ethereal ghosts, then who will help the people to redress their grievances?
The tavern shopkeeper said disapprovingly, he just kindly reminded him that as for how to choose, it was Mu Yirong's own business, and that's all he said!
After speaking, he pulled up Changshou, who was paralyzed on the ground, and muttered something in his mouth, "Good words are hard to persuade damn ghosts", he tried his best, if something really happened, don't blame him.
These words sounded very unpleasant and a little harsh, but Mu Yirong and the others didn't care about it, and walked out of the tavern with the cool breeze of the night.
The tavern shopkeeper, who put longevity on his shoulders, closed the door of the tavern, and at the same time seemed to kindly remind Mu Yirong and the others that Qiupu County is surrounded by wilderness and mountains, and at night, some yellow-skinned or mountain beavers will sneak into the village to steal chickens.
Especially in winter, there is nothing to eat on the mountain, and the hungry yellow skin and mountain beaver are not afraid to see people, and even bite people.
If Mu Yirong and the others have nothing to do, they should go back to the post station early to rest, and be careful of being bitten by those animals, even if they are startled, it is not cost-effective.
The tavern shopkeeper who was verbose and admonished, and finally did not forget to remind the two that although the two of them wore a lot of clothes, the cold wind in the countryside was biting, so be careful of catching a cold.
In case you are accidentally injured or have typhoid fever, the barefoot doctors here do not have any great skills, and it is common for them to not be able to save people!
The tavernkeeper's mouthful reminder sounded like a threat for some reason.
Mu Yirong, who narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled and thanked the tavern shopkeeper, the Dao post station was far away, and he just walked back to sober up, and as he spoke, he took Seocho's hand and walked away.
The tavern shopkeeper stood in the dim light that came out of the crack in the tavern door, his eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and he said softly: "Don't take other people's kind reminders to be a donkey's liver and lungs!"
Seocho, who had already walked far away, turned his head to look at the tavern shopkeeper standing in the faint light.
The tavernkeeper's face evoked a strange looking smile and waved at Seocho.
Mu Yirong also turned his head, and saw the tavern shopkeeper disappearing into the darkness with the back of longevity, and couldn't help but ask what happened to Ruicao?
"It's nothing, I just think the people in this village are very strange. ”
The villagers of Qiupu County look like ordinary people, but for some reason, there is a faint hint of unusualness. It's like, everyone is wearing a layer of human skin, but no one can say exactly what is inside.
Mu Yirong and Seocho feel similar, this Qiupu County looks like an ordinary remote county town with a small population, but the residents here have an indescribable strange feeling.
Regardless of the people of the county here, Mu Yirong mentioned that the gang of bandits with one ear and a green water dragon has anything to do with this Qiupu County?
The dart team was robbed here, and the cottage where the thieves originally lived was empty, so it is very likely that the bandits after changing positions are still entrenched in Qiupu County.
Among them, the biggest possibility is Chengcheng in Qiupu County, or the Qingshen Mountain next to it.
Maybe it's a bandit such as an eared water dragon who pretends to be a ghost and scares away people who try to go up the mountain in order to hide in the mountain and not be discovered.
However, after listening to the tavern shopkeeper's words, he seemed to suspect that the gang of robbers was not the gang of thieves with a blue water dragon, but someone pretending to be them.
When the dart team was robbed before, and Ah Yu asked Chizhou City Assassin Shi to help catch the thief, Duan Linrui, the commander of Qiupu County, also didn't believe that the person who robbed the dart was a blue-eared water dragon.
Based on this statement, it is speculated that either someone is pretending to be an eared water dragon robbery dart, or someone from Qiupu County is lying.
There is another possibility, that is, the people of Qiupu County not only lied, but also pretended to be an eared water dragon to rob the dart.
Hearing such an idea from Seocho, Mu Yirong fell into deep thought.
The gang of bandits with one ear and the water dragon used to come and go in and out of Qiupu County from time to time, and it was not difficult for Qiupu County to impersonate this gang of bandits.
If Qiupu County pretended to be a one-eared Qingshui Dragon Mountain Thief to rob darts, then many things would make sense.
If the robbery occurred in Qiupu County, if the county residents had done it, the officers and soldiers would have been sent to the county to search and investigate the fish that had slipped through the net, and at that time, the county citizens who had pretended to be bandits would probably be identified.
Therefore, as soon as the fake bandits appeared, they were rushing to kill everyone. And after discovering that there are fish that have slipped through the net, they will spare no effort to chase and kill them in Shangjing, so as not to implicate the entire village.
This can also explain why the three trees where the robbery tragedy occurred will be gone.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, Ah Yu's fate is big, not only moved the rescue soldier of Chizhou Thorn Shi, but also fled back to Shangjing, and informed Mu Yirong and the others of this matter.
Thinking of this, Mu Yirong immediately looked vigilantly at the dark surroundings.
