Chapter 118, Fierce Beast
After listening to what Lin Zheng said, Qi Fax felt a little suddenly enlightened, although Lin Zheng said that he was guessing, but according to Lin Zheng's guess, everything is reasonable, even if there are some discrepancies with the facts, it is estimated that it is not far from ten.
In this regard, Qi Fax could only give Lin Zheng a thumbs up in his heart, the pavilion master deserves to be the pavilion master, and he looks at things more thoroughly than himself.
Li Yu looked at Lin Zheng with a smile in his eyes while listening, listening to what Lin Zheng said helped him a lot, and some of the confusion in his heart was also solved, and even the dissatisfaction with Lin Zheng's drunkenness yesterday disappeared at this time.
While a few people were talking, the carriage stopped again, and this time without waiting for Lin Zheng to ask, the coachman rushed into the carriage with a crawl.
The coachman dragged his frightened body, barely crawled to Lin Zheng's side, stared at the curtain with wide eyes in horror, and stumbled and talked for a long time, but he couldn't tell what the situation was.
Lu Menghua reluctantly stunned the groom with one palm, made eye contact with Lin Zheng and others, and saw Lin Zheng bowing slightly, so he lifted the curtain.
The scene outside the curtain stunned everyone, the carriage where they were stopped at the corner of the street, and the corner was covered with countless corpses of the victims whose flesh and blood were like broken watermelons, and the heavy rain washed away these corpses, as well as the blood on the ground, which is why everyone did not smell the slightest smell of blood.
"This ......" Qi Fax's eyes were as frightened as the coachman, but he was a high-level member of the Heavenly Master Pavilion, so he was not so frightened that he couldn't give up, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he went to the window of the car and vomited.
Lu Menghua also covered his mouth, not caring about his heartbeat, but immediately squatted on the side of the street against the rain and retched, and saw that where was the clean rain flowing on the ground, but a winding stream made of blood.
Lu Menghua no longer retched, but vomited with Qi Fax.
Needless to say, Li Yu's psychological quality was self-evident, he covered his nose with his sleeve, jumped out of the car and began to check the wounds of the victims, and looked for any survivors.
Li Yu followed the corpses of the victims all the way to the compound with the granary written on it, and saw that the door of the granary was wide open, so he did not go deep alone, but turned around and returned to the sedan chair.
"Your Excellency. Li Yu returned to the carriage and reported to Lin Zheng about his investigation: "The wounds on the corpses of these victims are very strange, they seem to have been wounded by sharp claws long enough to be iron swords, and there are traces of bites on the corpses, which should be determined to be the work of a fierce beast that reminds the giant...... And it seems that this beast is not here to eat, but only to kill. ”
Lin Zheng's brows were tightly twisted together, how did he think that he had originally come to investigate the disaster, but he had encountered a fierce beast, and it was such a ferocious beast, not for food but for killing.
"Tell them to get on the bus first, and we should go to the granary first to find the county order here. Lin Zheng thought about it for a while, and then asked Li Yu to call Lu Menghua and Qi Fax.
"My lord, this is the granary. Li Yu pointed to the courtyard next to the carriage, and at the same time showed a sad look on his face: "And the main gate of the granary is wide open, and the corpses and blood stains spread all the way inside......
"This is the granary?" Lin Zheng was surprised at first, and then felt that this was reasonable, if it wasn't for the granary, how could there be so many victims here.
"Let's go in and have a look. Lin Zheng understood what Li Yu meant, and knew that the fierce beast might be in the granary, so he put on his clothes and brought a black knife, jumped off the horse and called out the two people who almost vomited out their stomachs, and walked cautiously towards the granary.
Lu Menghua and Qi Fax were already unwell, and when they really walked through this mountain of corpses and blood, their stomachs were even more upside down, but fortunately, the two of them had already vomited the contents of their stomachs, so they just retched and didn't vomit anything.
Lin Zheng and the others soon came to the gate of the granary where Li Yu had come before, and on the gate of the granary, several hideous scratches almost tore the heavy wooden doors on these two sides, and countless sawdust were scattered around, and the corpses and blood stains did spread towards the granary as Li Yu said.
"Let's go inside. Lin Zheng held the black knife tightly and took the lead in stepping on the blood stains that were smeared all over the ground and could not be avoided into the granary.
Li Yu only followed, he could die here, but Lin Zheng couldn't.
Qi Fax and Lu Menghua glanced at each other, and followed Lin Zheng and Li Yu into the courtyard of the granary with apprehensive expressions, the two of them held their weapons tightly with both hands, and looked around in a panic, for fear that they would be attacked by the cruel beast and turned into a corpse whose identity was blurred on the ground.
The courtyard wall of the granary is very high, and the sky is unusually gloomy at this time, and it is difficult for everyone to see the scene around the courtyard without sunlight.
At this time, a flash of lightning appeared, illuminating the entire courtyard as if it were day, and when the light disappeared at this moment, a dull thunder that hit everyone's hearts followed.
It was at this moment that the four of them saw the scene in the courtyard clearly, except for the broken corpses and blood all over the ground, there was nothing else.
The four of them relaxed and walked towards the warehouse where the grain was stored.
The warehouse gate was not as heavy as the courtyard gate, which could almost be described as miserable, and judging by the fact that the door frame was broken, it was likely that the beast had already entered here.
The hearts of several people who had just put down were once again suspended.
This time, Li Yu stepped forward and walked in front of Lin Zheng behind him.
The warehouse was pitch black, and only a few small hills of grain could be faintly seen, but most of these hills had been bulldozed by ferocious beasts, revealing a few human figures who could not see clearly.
Although it was not clear to see, several people speculated that these people were probably more than lucky.
At this time, a faint sound touched the tense nerves of Lin Zheng and the others.
The four of them raised their weapons violently and looked towards the source of the sound.
"Who's there!"
Lin Zheng shouted loudly.
The shouts echoed through the granary, hovering for a long time before gradually dissipating.
I saw the pile of grain from the voice moving slowly, and in the nervousness of several people, a figure came out of it.
Seeing that there was a living person, Lin Zheng and Li Yu immediately stepped forward to check, Qi Fax and Lu Menghua had been frightened into soft-footed shrimp by the successive conditions at this time, and they sat on the ground and did not dare to move at all.
The figure who crawled out of the grain pile looked middle-aged and wearing official uniforms, and it looked like the county order here, at this time, the county commander's eyes were red, and Li Yu's voice trembled like a string and said: "Run, there is a fierce beast! Go to Luoyang for help!"
Lin Zheng helped up the middle-aged man: "We are from Luoyang, I am Lin Zheng, the master of the Heavenly Master Pavilion, what is going on here?
"Heavenly Master Pavilion Master?!" The middle-aged man's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at Lin Zheng: "So young, young man, your life is at stake, don't talk nonsense!"
Lin Zheng nodded with a serious expression, and his eyes met the middle-aged man's eyes: "I naturally know that the matter is serious, if I am not the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Master Pavilion, how can I venture into here?"
When the middle-aged man heard this, he also felt that Lin Zheng's words were reasonable, so he chose to believe Lin Zheng: "Can we talk on the road? I'm really worried about my wife." ”
Lin Zheng also felt that this granary was not safe without knowing about the beast, so without thinking too much, he nodded and carried the county order on his back and sent him to the carriage.
Li Yu followed Lin Zheng and saw that Lu Menghua and Qi Fax couldn't stand up after tossing for a long time, so he carried one in one hand and took the two to the carriage.
On the carriage, Li Yu was driving outside, and inside the carriage was Lu Menghua, who was already frightened, and the coachman who was knocked unconscious, as well as Lin Zheng and the county order here.
The county order seemed to be greatly frightened, even if he believed that Lin Zheng was the master of the Heavenly Master Pavilion, he was not very at ease, his eyes glanced out of the car window from time to time, and the wheels pressing on the pothole would make him feel that it was a fierce beast chasing him.
"What's your name?" Lin Zheng asked first when he saw the appearance of the county magistrate here.
When the county order was asked, he didn't come back to his senses for a while, and it wasn't until Lin Zheng asked for the second time that Mu Ne replied: "My name is Gou Fugui, and I am the county order here." ”
"Gou County Order, you now tell me the cause and effect of all this, as well as the appearance of the fierce beast. ”
Lin Zheng put one hand on Gou Fugui's shoulder, and a warm heat flowed from his hand into Gou Fugui's body, and Gou Fugui gradually settled down.
"It rained heavily last night, which I hadn't seen in 10 years, so I went to check on the surrounding villages because I was worried, and almost all the villagers' fields were flooded, and even the villages were swept away by the flood, and everyone was displaced and came to the county. Later, someone who knew how to watch the weather took the lead, saying that the rain would continue for three or four days, and everyone would starve to death, so they forced me to open a warehouse to release grain, and in order to calm the people's hearts, I brought people here to prepare porridge for the victims. ”
Speaking of this, Gou Fugui suddenly stopped, and his eyes showed horror again, as if he didn't want to think about it again.
But Lin Zhengzheng heard that how could Gou Fugui be allowed to be silent in the key place, and at least describe the appearance of the fierce beast, so he asked: "What about after that? What does the fierce beast look like?"
"After that?" Gou Fugui thought for a while: "After that, the leader continued to lead the victims, leading the victims to forcibly rush into the granary to prepare to grab grain, my men drew knives and intimidated them to scare them back and locked the granary door, and then we heard a terrible scream outside the courtyard in the granary, and countless victims shouted and begged me to open the door, but before I ordered someone to open the door, the shout gradually weakened, and the rest was a heavy knock on the door!"
"Is it a fierce beast banging on the door?" Lin Zheng asked, licking his lips.
"Yes!" Gou Fugui nodded without hesitation: "The sound of hitting the door lasted not long, and a huge claw pierced through the door, and the claws were like sharp swords, with black hair all over the body, and a pair of eyes that were as scarlet as blood!
